Sanitary Districts Director of Engineering Costa Mesa Garden Grove TMD/DAL:jrs Midway City J:IWPDOC\ENG\TMD\PLANNING1080596.L1 Water Districts Irvine Ranch A Public Wastewater and Environmental Management Agency Committed to Protecting the Environment Since 1954 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: May 20, 1996 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 96-28 additional conditions of approval were adopted by the Planning Commission that specifically addressed views from Pacific Coast Highway. While the CSDOC concurs with the City that aesthetics of the site is very important, they have indicated through their appeal to the City Council that their existing plans are adequate. The CSDOC has proposed landscaping improvements that will be completed in conjunction with the surge tower project (Attachment No. 7). These improvements -are designated for the southeast corner of the site and extend along the Santa Ana River. Construction of the surge tower will take approximately 18 months; thus, it is likely that this landscaping will be installed within the next two years. Additionally, the CSDOC will begin a strategic plan this year which will include a detailed evaluation and plan for landscaping for the entire site. This will update the CSDOC's Landscape Master Plan (Attachment No. 6) and be completed in early 1998. The CSDOC believes that the implementation of these two elements will adequately address aesthetic concerns about the site. They believe the conditions of approval adopted by the Planning Commission are excessive and may delay timely construction of the surge tower. Staff has reviewed the landscape plans (Attachment No. 7) and believes that they could be augmented. In addition, the requirement that additional landscaping be installed on the site in areas that are visible from Pacific Coast Highway is not unreasonable given the size of the proposed surge tower. The CSDOC has indicated that they would be willing to consider landscaping modifications and additional requirements provided that such changes are sensitive to their operating constraints, including budgeting and project timetables. Thus, staff is recommending a revised condition of approval which balances the City's and the CSDOC's concerns. The suggested conditions reflect the essence of the Planning Commission's approval but provide for a phased approach which the CSDOC. believes is attainable. Specifically, staff recommends that the City Council approve the project with a revised Condition of Approval No. 2. This condition would replace Conditions of Approval Nos. 2 and 3 approved by the Planning Commission. The recommended Condition No. 2 includes three phases, each identifying a specific project or level of improvement to be completed by the CSDOC. Phase 1 targets landscaping improvements to be completed in conjunction with the surge tower and pump station projects. It is the same as Condition No. 2 approved by the Planning Commission with one exception. The Planning Commission required that CSDOC provide landscaping plans for the portion of the site that faces Pacific Coast Highway prior to commencing construction of the surge tower project. The revised Condition No. 2 requires a plan to be submitted for this task, with actual completion of the plan being prepared in Phase 2. The improvements identified in Phase 2 would be implemented in early 1998. Phase 3 of the revised condition of approval is essentially the same as Condition No. 3 approved by the Planning Commission. It provides for City participation in the CSDOC strategic plan effort. CD96-28.DOC -5- 05/08/96 11:43 AM REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: May 20, 1996 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 96-28 E. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING SUMMARY: During the April 9, 1996 Planning Commission meeting one resident spoke regarding concerns about landscaping and views from Pacific Coast Highway. Dave. Ludwin, representing the CSDOC, also spoke about the proposed project and the CSDOC's landscaping plans. F. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission moved to have additional landscaping plans prepared which would show landscaping improvements along the frontage of the site facing.Pacific Coast Highway and asked that the plans be brought back to them for review and approval. They approved the project with revised conditions of approval. G. SUMMARY The replacement of the existing pump station and surge tower with larger structures will result in potential impacts to views from Brookhurst Street and Pacific Coast Highway. The CSDOC has identified several aesthetic related improvements that they believe will alleviate concerns about the appearance of the site. Staff recommends that the City Council approve Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 and Variance No. 95-32 with revised conditions of approval based on the following considerations: • The pump station and surge tower have been designed to meet projected demand. These two components are integral to the operations of the wastewater treatment plant which provides a service that is essential.for the health and safety of Huntington Beach residents and businesses. • The landscaping plans and strategic plan effort planned by the CSDOC will result in an improved appearance of the treatment plant when viewed from Pacific Coast Highway and other public rights of way. Environmental Status: The proposed project was previously reviewed and approved in the Joint Treatment Works Wastewater Master Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearing House No. 88012008) certified by the Board of Directors County Sanitation Districts of Orange County in June 1989. This environmental document evaluated the proposed Surge Tower No. 1 with a height of 88 feet (MSL). When studies of the tower showed it would be necessary to raise the height of the tower 10 feet, the CSDOC prepared a supplement to the previous environmental impact report. The supplement, Supplement No. 3 to Final Program Environmental Impact Report for Collection, Treatment and Disposal Facilities for County Sanitation Districts of Orange County, California, (State Clearing House No. 94071060) was approved by the Board of Supervisors in January 1995.

Letter in opposition (received after the April 9, 1996 Planning >- Commission meeting) CD96-28.DOC -7- 05/08/96 11:43 AM FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL STAFF RECOMMENDATION COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-39/ VARIANCE NO. 95-32 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-39: 1. The request to permit a 3,200 square foot pump station and an 86 foot high surge tower conforms with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the Coastal Element of the General Plan. The proposed landscaping and mural improvements will improve the appearance of the treatment facility, and completion of the project will promote the Coastal Element goal of providing adequate community facilities within the Coastal Zone. The surge tower will be located at a facility which already includes several other towers and structures which, because of their size, height and stark appearance, may be considered to impact views. The proposed tower will not significantly add to these impacts but because of its height will be visible from Pacific Coast Highway. The proposed landscaping improvements are designed to minimize impacts of the proposed tower and existing structures. Further, the tower will be located at the southeasterly end of the site and will not be visible from the residences on the west side of Brookhurst Avenue. The proposed pump station and surge tower will not impact public access because they are in an area where none exists. 2. Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 is consistent with the CZ suffix zoning requirements, the MI-A Zoning District, as well as other provisions of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code applicable to the property. The proposed development will conform with all applicable City codes. The proposed pump station and surge tower involve the reconstruction and relocation of existing facilities located within the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2. The pump station will conform to all applicable City codes. The surge tower will conform to all City codes with the exception of the maximum height limit of 40 feet. The overall 86 foot height of the proposed surge tower has been approved through the granting of Variance Number 95-32 which has been processed concurrently with the Coastal Development Permit. 3. At the time of commencement of operations, the proposed pump station and surge tower will be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Coastal Element of the General Plan. Infrastructure currently exists to the site. Any modifications to infrastructure required as a result of development of this project have been included as conditions of approval. 4. The proposed pump station and surge tower conform with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. No public access or recreational opportunities-will be affected by the new construction. (Attachment No. 2-1) FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL- VARIANCE NO. 95-32: 1. The granting of a variance f6r an 86 foot high surge tower ( 98 feet MSL) in lieu of maximum 40 foot height will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. The proposed surge tower will be part of the facilities at the existing County Sanitation Districts of Orange County Wastewater Treatment Plant 2. This land use is necessary for the health and safety of the residents and businesses of Huntington Beach. The height of the surge tower is necessary to accommodate the increased wastewater treatment capacity necessitated by current and projected population increases. Any land use in an identical zoning classification which provided a service that was critical for the health and safety of City residents and businesses could be anticipated to be granted a similar variance that was deemed necessary for health and safety reasons. 2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. Strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would deprive the property of its ability to operate the Treatment-Plant at its optimum capacity and accommodate future demand. Other industrial uses in the MI-A zoning classification can operate optimally because their successful operation is not determined solely by their ability to directly accommodate population increases. 3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. In order for the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County to meet the wastewater treatment needs of the regional population, it must have the capacity to function at a level which meets these needs. As the population grows, the waste treatment capacity must also increase. The height of the surge tower is determined by the capacity of the treatment plant. Granting a variance from the height restrictions will enable the Treatment Plant to continue to provide the service it was granted approval to provide at this specific site. 4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to.the public welfare or injurious to property in the same zone classification and is consistent with the General Plan. The granting of a variance will enhance the public welfare because it ensures that the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County can provide adequate wastewater treatment.service which is necessary for the health and safety of the residents and businesses of Huntington Beach. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL- COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-39/ VARIANCE NO. 95-32: l. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated November 13, 1995 for the surge tower and December 12, 1995 for the pump station shall be the conceptually approved layout. 2. The County Sanitation Districts of Orange County and the City of Huntington Beach shall work cooperatively in an effort to improve the visual.appearance of the plant as viewed from Pacific Coast Highway. The improvements shall be implemented in three phases as follows: (Attachment No. 2-2) Phase 1 The County Sanitation Districts of Orange County shall work with the Department of Public Works to augment and modify the landscape plans dated February 15, 1996 to include the items below. The revised landscape plans shall be submitted to the Planning Commission for final review and approval (non- public hearing item) prior to commencing construction of the pump station and surge tower. i.

The plant material shall be of sufficient height at maturity to effectively screen the portion of the proposed pump station that will extend above the existing blockwall and shall be installed within the one month of completion of the pump station. iii. Submittal of a plan to do a study of landcaping possiblities along the Pacific Coast Highway side of the facility Phase 2 The County Sanitation Districts of Orange County shall prepare a plan, pursuant to item Hi of Phase 1, that provides for additional landscaping along the Pacific Coast Highway side of the facility. The plan shall provide for landscaping improvements that shield views of Treatment Plant No. 2 from Pacific Coast Highway as effectively as possible, given restrictions imposed by the Department of Fish and Game and constraints resulting from the Plant's infrastructure both above and below ground. The plan shall be completed at the conclusion of the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County's strategic plan process or June of 1998, which ever occurs sooner. Implementation of the plan shall commence immediately thereafter. Phase 3 The County Sanitation Districts of Orange County shall include an urban design element in the Phase H strategic plan. The strategic plan shall be prepared by the applicant with active participation from the City of Huntington Beach Public Works staff to develop an urban design element which addresses landscaping and aesthetics of Treatment Plant No. 2. 3.

HUNTINGTON BEACH CITY COUNCIL 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92646 RE: Appeal of HB Planning Commission's Conditions of Approval with respect to OC Sanitation District Request for Coastal Development Permit #95-39 and Variance #95-32 (Appeal). Dear City Council Members: I am writing this letter in support of the Planning Commission's unanimous Approval of Conditions relative to the above mentioned Coastal Permit and Zoning Variance. Although I believe the Planning Commission should have gone even further with more detailed and landscape mitigation,. I believe their action and conditions of approval at the March 26 hearing represented a reasonable solution. In January, the City's Zoning Administrator gave approval to the OC Sanitation District's (OCSD) request for a Coastal Development Permit and Variance to increase the height of their surge tower to 98 feet and move such facilities closer to Pacific Coast Highway. Although the Zoning.Administrator's action recognized the importance of the sewage plant's function, absolutely no consideration was given to the visual ugliness that continues to be imposed on the southern gateway to our City by such uses. The OCSD sewage facility is the welcoming sign for visitors, tourists, residents or potential homebuyers as they enter our City from Newport Beach. The prior approval represented a blatant disregard for the stated goals and policies put forth in the City's current and Draft General Plans. Specifically, the approval of the subject permit/zoning height variance and construction of a tower closer to PCH without landscape mitigation violated the following provisions of the City's Coastal and Scenic Highways Elements of the current General Plan: Coastal Element Scenic Highways Flpm n 3.6.2.3 Visual resources 3.2.3.2 Land Use & Development 3.6.2.3 1. a 3.2.3.3 Landscape Corridors 3.6.2,3 1. a (3) 3.6.2.3 1. a (4) MAY 15 '96 13:51 FR SANWA R E-NWPT BCH TO 3741557 P.03iO4 HB City Council Page 2 3.6.2.3 2 Improve visually degraded areas 3.6.2.3 2. a The excuse for the variance that Orange County's population is growing.and needs to be accomodated ,with a higher tower, closer to PCH, is no reason to abandon sensible and forward-thinking planning policies. The OCSD is capable of mitigating the ugliness at its facility. The District has had $1 million sitting in a "Site and Security Landscaping Program" budget that has been earmarked for a landscaping but not spent. If they have $300 million to try to buy the County's landfills, they certainly can spend what has already been planned and budgeted since 1986 and maybe more. The OCSD obviously believes it is above normal and reasonable planning practices. Unlike when other developments are applied for in this City, the OCSD does not feel the necessity to mitigate the impacts of its proposed facilities. I sincerely doubt that Seacliff Partners would be allowed to build a 98-foot condo tower at PCH and Goldenwest without some kind of mitigation plan. In fact, at the same hearing, another applicant's request for expansion of a 1,900 sf pharmacy building was accompanied by a Staff report detailing the restrictive filing requirements of landscaping (down to the width of tree trunk) plans to public works. Response to OCSD's 4/19/96 apneal/correspondance to City Cout3cil A) OCSD's contention that a nexus does not exist with respect to the Planning Commission's Conditions of Approval is without merit. The OCSD is not proposing to move the 98' surge tower further_from PCH - it is proposing to move it closer to PCH and., more prominantly in view. The Planning Commission's concern over the inadequacy of OCSD's 2/15/96 landscape plans was reasonably reflected in its request for revised landscape plans and submittal for approval to the Planning Commission prior to construction. At the 3/26 hearing, OCSD responded to the Planning Commission's concern over the inadequacy of the submitted landscaping plans by offering that OCSD would invest $2 million into landscaping. Rightly so, the Commission felt that if such mitigate for the tower was being tied to an overall "stategic improvement plan" (which may include other structures conforming or non-conforming with HB's zoning limitations), such an "urban design element" should at least be reviewed by HB Public Works staff. B) OCSD's contention that the City of HB "does not have the Legal authority to extend its zoning police powers to the Districts over zoning matters such as these" is not true. The OCSD facility lies within the general plan and zoning junsdication of HB and, as such, must adhere to such applicable requirements and when not in conformance with zoning (height) and the policies set forth in the General flan. MAY 15 '96 13:51 FIR SANWA R E-NWPT BCH TO 3741557 P.04/04 1-113 City Council Page 3 C) OCSD's contention that the Conditions of Approval do not recognize that other agencies are involved in landscape issues is irrelevant. The District should quit crying about what it perceives as potential difficult relations with US Fish & Game and work with them in developing ideas that will work in a landscape plan (or at least get a letter from USF&G explaining what trees would be acceptable). Pick up the phone or bring the plans over there. Not all trees or vegetation harbor raptors. In conclusion, the Planning Commission acted reasonably and proper with regard to the conditions of approval. While OCSD may "sincerely wish to work with the City regarding aesthetic issues",*you must also recognize the importance of this gateway location in. the City and ensure such cooperation by requiring real conditions. Our City has been burned too many times by the promise of interagency"cooperation"on other important issues. Millions of dollars have been spent over the last decade on our Downtown, The Waterfront, and other projects in an effort to improve Huntington Beach for business and its residents. If Orange County's population is growing to the extent that it is necessary to construct more visually damaging facilities in our City's southern gateway, than it is also time for the OC Sanitation District to step up and substantially mitigate these impacts. I urge you to DENY the OCSD's appeal of the Planning Commission's Conditions of Approval, Sincerely, /Jon Ely RECEIVED FROM AND MADE A PART OF THE RECGR_::ti'."7 HE / COUNCIL MEETING OFFICE OF THE CITY CLEF(:' CONNIE BROCKWA`!,Cfi Y CLERK Deny the District's appeal of Conditions.

BOX 190 CALIFORNIA 82648 � c gA C-1 n,rr. w May 16, 1996 Honorable Mayor and City Council Members City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Subject: Appeal of Planning Commission Conditional Approval of County Sanitation Districts of Orange County Coastal Development Permit No. 9S-39/Yariance No. 9S-32 for rebuilding of Ocean Outfall Surge Tower No. 1 Honorable Mayor and City Council Members: .I am writing to urge you to support the Planning Commission's unanimous approval of conditions regarding the aforementioned coastal development permit and zoning variance. To give you some background, Mr. David Ludwin, the Director of Engineering for the Sanitation District, spoke in favor of the conditions at the time of the Planning Commission's Public Hearing. He stated that not only did the Sanitation District have one (1) million dollars earmarked for landscaping, but in fact,there was two (2) million dollars set aside! Now, (because of his letter dated April 19, 1996), it appears that Mr. Ludwin has recanted his public testimony. The unanimous decision to condition the project was an action to enforce the General Plan. Any other decision would have violated the City's Coastal and Scenic Highways Elements, The Planning Commission was greatly concerned that this item was approved by the Zoning Administrator without consideration to the visual blight caused by the Sanitation District. It was especially disconcerting considering that the Zoning Administrator routinely requires much smaller projects and businesses to conform to the city's landscaping guidelines. Credit should be given to Mr. Jon Ely. He provided the Planning.Commission with valuable data and evidence that went beyond the staff report, and beyond what is normally expected from a concerned member of the community. 05-16-96 12: 26PM FROM 111 TO CITY CLERK P02 May 16, 1996 Page Two In conclusion, I.respectfully ask that you uphold the Planning Commission's conditions of approval.

Re : Denial of Sanitation District Appeal .Item D-2 of May. 20, 1996 Meeting Agenda Dear City Council Members : My name is John Warde and I reside only one block from the Brookhurst Sanitation Plant located near PCH in our "beautiful community" . For over 20 years I have watched this site develop and continue to expand. For the most part, it has been for the positive, however, there has always been one piece of the puzzle missing, that seems to never be addressed. That piece is the LANDSCAPING along the .beach side of the plant, and that piece has caused the over-all impression to be an "eye-sore" to the community. I am not in favor of granting the Sanitation District an appeal . They should be responsible for this landscaping aspect . I would hope that the City Council would be firm on this matter and not continue to allow this site to get any uglier. Please be firm in your mandate that they provide the city of Huntington Beach a "suitable landscape plan" that would "mask" any view of what ' s going on in there . It looks terrible ! ! ! As a Realtor in the area, I hear the many comments on the unsightly appearance of the plant and the hesitation of some to not want to purchase a property near such a gruesome sight . Property values are at stake here also. If you allow the plant to grow "up or out" , without first addressing the landscape, property values will take a downward slope and become harder to sell, therefore, it is absolutely mandatory that the City Council be pro-active now toward this, rather than reactive at a later date . The small cost of implementing a landscape plan, that would "mask" the view of this plant, would definitely benefit the aesthetics of the city' s southern most entrypoint from our Newport Beach neighbor. I therefore ask you to DENY the Sanitation District request for appeal of the landscaping requirements approved by the Planning Commission last month, and demand that they be required to implement a substantial landscaping plan along the PCH side of the plant before continuing any further.

Both entitlements, Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 and Variance No. 95-32, were approved on April 9, 1996. The project consists of the construction of two structures: an 86 foot high hydraulic surge tower and a 3,200 square foot pump station. Both structures will replace existing smaller structures on the site. The variance was granted for the surge tower which exceeds the maximum 40 foot height permitted for the property. I The CSDOC's appeal is based on two conditions of approval that address landscaping concerns. The appellant has indicated that these conditions go beyond the scope of the project's impact and are excessive. Moreover, the CSDOC states that compliance with all aspects of the conditions will cause a significant delay in the hydraulic surge tower project. Staff has worked with the CSDOC staff on language that balances the City's and the CSDOC's concerns and recommends the City Council approve the project with revised conditions of approval. The suggested conditions reflect the essence of the Planning Commission's approval but provide for a phased approach which the CSDOC believes is attainable given its project timetable, procedural requirements and budgeting_constraints.

PROJECT PROPOSAL: Applicant/Appellant: County Sanitation Districts of Orange County, P.O. Box 8127, Fountain Valley, CA 92728 Location: 22212 Brookhurst Street (east of Brookhurst Street, west of Santa Ana River and north Pacific Coast Highway) Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 represents a request for the following: A. To construct a 3,200 square foot pump station pursuant to Section 989.5.2 of the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program (LCP). B. To construct an 86 foot high hydraulic surge tower, pursuant to Section 989.5.2 of the LCP. - The proposed pump station will replace an existing, smaller station that is approximately 400 square feet and seven feet high. The new pump station will be located in the vicinity of the existing station along Brookhurst Street, near the main entrance to the treatment plant, and is approximately 24 feet high. In general, pump stations are required when fluid cannot be transported via gravity flow. A sewage treatment plant cannot have a direct connection to a water system; consequently, a physical air gap (separation) is required. A pump station is necessary to pump the water from the air gap tank. The County Sanitation Districts of Orange County (CSDOC) reports that as part of their long range construction plans, they. had planned to build a new facility to accommodate demand. However, a pump station that is larger than originally planned is necessary because of City of Huntington Beach Fire Department requirements. There are currently two surge towers, No. 1 and No. 2, at the project site. The surge towers reduce surges in wastewater flow that could otherwise damage outfall pipes that carry treated wastewater to the Pacific Ocean. The applicant proposes to demolish existing Surge Tower No. 1 ( 55.5 feet high; MSL 69 feet) and replace it with the proposed 86 foot high structure (98 feet MSL) which will have an inside diameter of 26 feet. The new tower will also be called Surge Tower No.'1 and will be located approximately 400 feet closer to Pacific Coast Highway, at a distance of approximately 1,200 feet from the roadway. The applicant has indicated that this new location is necessary because of the presence of seismic faults at the location of existing Surge Tower No. 1. Similar to the existing Surge Tower No. 1, the proposed surge tower will have a spiral staircase wrapped around the outside to allow access for inspections. Both surge towers will be painted.gray. [Please note that the LCP measures height from top of curb, referred to as "grade" in this report. However, the CSDOC uses mean sea level (MSL) when reporting the height of CD96-28.DOC -3- 05/08/96 11:43 AM i REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: May 20, 1996 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 96-28 structures. There is an approximate 12 foot differential between MSL and grade for the project site. Thus, the CSDOC reports the proposed Surge Tower No. 1 at 98 feet MSL; this is the equivalent of 86 feet from grade. Both measurements are provided throughout this report.] Variance No. 95-32 is a request to permit an 86 foot high surge tower in lieu of 40 ft. (exceeds maximum building height by 46 feet) pursuant to Section 9510.4 of the LCP. The applicant has indicated that the variance request is necessary in order to accommodate projected flows. According to studies done for the applicant, the maximum water surface level could reach 96 feet (MSL). Because this is higher than existing Surge Tower No. 2 (76.5 feet grade; 88 feet MSL), it was recommended that the new Surge Tower No. 1 be built 98 feet high(MSL). B. APPEAL: On April 19, 1996 the CSDOC appealed the Planning Commission's action. Specifically, the appeal focuses on Conditions of Approval Nos. 2 and 3 which address landscaping of the site and the participation of the City in a strategic plan for the treatment plant. The appeal letter states that the conditions are unreasonable. The CSDOC also suggests alternative language for a condition that speaks to landscaping concerns. (Attachment No. 3) C. BACKGROUND: On January 10, 1996, the Zoning Administrator approved the subject coastal development permit and variance request with conditions of approval finding that the project was necessary.for the public welfare. The project was appealed by Councilmember Harman on January 18, 1996. His appeal letter noted that there will be negative visual impacts from Pacific Coast Highway. On January 23, 1996, the applicant also appealed the project because of two conditions of approval pertaining to water issues. The water issues included the purchase of reclaimed water used to irrigate landscaping (Condition of Approval No. 7g, as approved by the Zoning Administrator) and the number of pipes that will be installed (Condition of Approval No. 7c); both were conditions of approval from the Department of Public Works. Staff worked with the CSDOC to resolve all of the appeal issues. Prior to the April 9, 1996 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant's appeal concerns were resolved and there was apparent agreement on the conditions of approval that addressed landscaping concerns. D. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: The proposed surge tower at Treatment Plant No. 2 is clearly visible from many vantage points along Pacific Coast Highway, from the bridge that crosses into Newport Beach northwest to Brookhurst Street. Views of the site from Pacific Coast Highway were the subject of the initial appeal to the Planning Commission by Councilmember Harman and were the primary concern at the April 9, 1996 Planning Commission meeting. Consequently, CD96-28.DOC -4- 05/08/96 11:43 AM I 4. The use shall comply with the following: a. Insure that the water system is capable of meeting the required fire flow of 2500 GPM. (FD) b. The proposed water system improvements shall conform to the State Department of Health Services California Code of Regulations, Title 17, including Section 7603 titled "Location of Backflow Preventers, subsection(a); "Air-gap Separation." The water service lateral between the property line and the air-gap tank shall be located a minimum of six (6) inches above ground and painted medium blue, Dunn-Edwards No. 10-1- VF51652, with white stenciling. The stenciling shall appear on both sides of the pipe with the marking"City Potable Water" in one-inch letters repeated every 24 inches. (PW) c. If the meters are not to be located in the public right-of-way, the applicant shall be responsible for the preparation and execution of all utility easements/agreements required by the City granting the City the same rights and privileges as if the meters were located in the public right-of-way. These rights and privileges shall include (but are not limited to) 24 hour access, maintenance and testing. The City shall be responsible for the ownership and maintenance of the water facilities/appurtenances between the mainline and up to and including the meter assembly. (PW) d. The water system design shall include appropriate water hammer protection, consistent with documented civil engineering industry practices, and acceptable to the Water Division. (PW) e. The project shall be served by a minimum of one (1) water service connection from the sixteen inch water main in Brookhurst Street. The service connection shall not be joined together on the"public" side of the meter. (PW) f. All existing water services shall be abandoned at the water main per City of Huntington Beach Water Division's Standard Plans and Specifications prior to the City's final acceptance of the proposed-water system improvements. This includes any irrigation services currently serving the site. (PW) g. The landscape areas shall be maintained in a neat and clean manner. h. Note on plans: Fire extinguishers shall be provided and located in areas to comply with the Huntington Beach Fire Code Standards. 5. The Planning Commission shall be notified in writing if any changes in structure height, floor area, setbacks, building elevations or open space are proposed as a result of the plan check process.

UBERUAGA, City Ad rra i PREPARED BY: MELANIE S. FALLON, Community Development Direc� rLec_ SUBJECT: APPEAL OF COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-39/ VARIANCE NO.. 95-32 (SANITATION DISTRICT) Statement of Issue,Funding Source,Recommended Action,Alternative Action(s),Analysis,Environments St tus,Attachment(s) Statement of Issue: Transmitted for your consideration is an appeal by the Orange County Sanitation Districts of Orange County (CSDOC) of the Planning Commission's approval of a project at Treatment Plant No. 2, operated by the CSDOC and located between Brookhurst Street and the Santa Ana River north of Pacific Coast Highway. Both entitlements, Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 and Variance No. 95-32, were approved on April 9, 1996. The project consists of the construction of two structures: an 86 foot high hydraulic surge tower and a 3,200 square foot pump station. Both structures will replace existing smaller structures on the site. The variance was granted for the surge tower which exceeds the maximum 40 foot height permitted for the property. The CSDOC's appeal is based on two conditions of approval that address landscaping concerns. The appellant has indicated that these conditions go beyond the scope of the project's impact and are excessive. Moreover, the CSDOC states that compliance with all aspects of the conditions will cause a significant delay in the hydraulic surge tower project. Staff has worked with the CSDOC staff on language that -balances the City's and the CSDOC's concerns and recommends the City Council approve the project with revised j conditions of approval. The suggested conditions reflect the essence of the Planning Commission's approval but provide for a phased approach which the CSDOC believes is attainable given its project timetable, procedural requirements and budgeting constraints.

PROJECT PROPOSAL: Applicant/Appellant: County Sanitation Districts of Orange County, P.O. Box 81'27, Fountain Valley, CA 92728 Location: 22212 Brookhurst Street (east of Brookhurst Street, west of Santa Ana River and north Pacific Coast Highway) Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 represents a request for the following: A. To construct a 3,200 square foot pump station pursuant to Section 989.5.2 of the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program (LCP). B. To construct an 86 foot high hydraulic surge tower, pursuant to Section 989.5.2 of the LCP. The proposed pump station will replace an existing, smaller station that is approximately 400 square feet and seven feet high. The new pump station will be located in the vicinity of the existing station along Brookhurst Street, near the main entrance to the treatment plant, and is approximately 24 feet high. In general, pump stations are required when fluid cannot be transported via gravity flow. A sewage treatment plant cannot have a direct connection to a water system; consequently, a physical air gap (separation) is required. A pump station is necessary to pump the water from the air gap tank. The County Sanitation Districts of Orange County (CSDOC) reports that as part of their long range construction plans, they had planned to build a new facility to accommodate demand. However, a pump station that is larger than originally planned is necessary because of City of Huntington Beach Fire Department requirements. There are currently two surge towers, No. 1 and No. 2, at the project site. The surge towers reduce surges in wastewater flow that could otherwise damage outfall pipes that carry treated wastewater to the Pacific Ocean. The applicant proposes to demolish existing Surge Tower No. 1 ( 55.5 feet high; MSL 69 feet) and replace it with the proposed 86 foot high structure (98 feet MSL) which will have an inside diameter of 26 feet. The new tower will also be called Surge Tower No. 1 and will be located approximately 400 feet closer to Pacific Coast Highway, at a distance of approximately 1,200 feet from the roadway. The applicant has indicated that this new location is necessary because of the presence of seismic faults at the location of existing Surge Tower No. 1. Similar to the existing Surge Tower No. 1, the proposed surge tower will have a spiral staircase wrapped around the outside to allow access for inspections. Both surge towers will be painted gray. [Please note that the LCP measures height from top of curb, referred to as "grade" in this report. However, the CSDOC uses mean sea level (MSL) when reporting the height of CD96-28.DOC -3- 05/08/96 11:43 AM REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: May 20, 1996 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 96-28 structures. There is an approximate 12 foot differential between MSL and grade for the project site. Thus, the CSDOC reports the proposed Surge Tower No. 1 at 98 feet MSL; this is the equivalent of 86 feet from grade. Both measurements are provided throughout this report.] Variance No. 95-32 is a request to permit an 86 foot high surge tower in lieu of 40 ft. (exceeds maximum building height by 46 feet) pursuant to Section 9510.4 of the LCP. The applicant has indicated that the variance request is necessary in order to accommodate projected flows. According to studies done for the applicant, the maximum water surface level could reach 96 feet (MSL). Because this is higher than existing Surge Tower No. 2 (76.5 feet grade; 88 feet MSL), it was recommended that the new Surge Tower No. 1 be built 98 feet high (MSL). B. APPEAL: On April 19, 1996 the CSDOC appealed the Planning Commission's action. Specifically, the appeal focuses on Conditions of Approval Nos. 2 and 3 which address landscaping of the site and the participation of the City in a strategic plan for the treatment plant. The appeal letter states that the conditions are unreasonable. The CSDOC also suggests alternative language for a condition that speaks to landscaping concerns. (Attachment No. 3) C. BACKGROUND: On January 10, 1996, the Zoning Administrator approved the subject coastal development permit and variance request with conditions of approval finding that the project was necessary for the public welfare. The project was appealed by Councilmember Harman on January 18, 1996. His appeal letter noted that there will be negative visual impacts from Pacific Coast Highway. On January 23, 1996, the applicant also appealed the project because of two conditions of approval pertaining to water issues. The water issues included the purchase of reclaimed water used to irrigate landscaping (Condition of Approval No. 7g, as approved by the Zoning Administrator) and the number of pipes that will be installed (Condition of Approval No. 7c); both were conditions of approval from the Department of Public Works. Staff worked with the CSDOC to resolve all of the appeal issues. Prior to the April 9, 1996 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant's appeal concerns were resolved and there was apparent agreement on the conditions of approval that addressed landscaping concerns. D. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: The proposed surge tower at Treatment Plant No. 2 is clearly visible from many vantage points along Pacific Coast Highway, from the bridge that crosses into Newport Beach northwest to Brookhurst Street. Views of the site from Pacific Coast Highway were the subject of the initial appeal to the Planning Commission by Councilmember Harman and were the primary concern at the April 9, 1996 Planning Commission meeting. Consequently, CD96-28.DOC -4- 05/08/96 11:43 AM REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: May 20, 1996 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 96-28 additional conditions of approval were adopted by the Planning Commission that specifically addressed views from Pacific Coast Highway. While the- CSDOC concurs with the City that aesthetics of the site is very important, they have indicated through their appeal to the City Council that their existing plans are adequate. The CSDOC has proposed landscaping improvements that will be completed in conjunction with the surge tower project (Attachment No. 7). These improvements are designated for the southeast corner of the site and extend along the Santa Ana River. Construction of the surge tower will take approximately 18 months; thus, it is likely that this landscaping will be installed within the next two years. Additionally, the CSDOC will begin a strategic plan this year which will include a detailed evaluation and plan for landscaping for the entire site. This will update the CSDOC's Landscape Master Plan (Attachment No. 6) and be completed in early 1998. The CSDOC believes that the implementation of these two elements will adequately address aesthetic concerns about the site. They believe the conditions of approval adopted by the Planning Commission are excessive and may delay timely construction of the surge tower. Staff has reviewed the landscape plans (Attachment No. 7) and believes that they could be augmented. In addition, the requirement that additional landscaping be installed on the site in areas that are visible from Pacific Coast Highway is not unreasonable given the size of the proposed surge tower. The CSDOC has indicated that they would be willing to consider landscaping modifications and additional requirements provided that such changes are sensitive to their operating constraints, including budgeting and project timetables. Thus, staff is recommending a revised condition of approval which balances the City's and the CSDOC's concerns. The suggested conditions reflect the essence of the Planning Commission's approval but provide for a phased approach .which the CSDOC believes is attainable. Specifically, staff recommends that the City Council approve the project with a revised Condition of Approval No. 2. This condition would replace Conditions of Approval Nos. 2 and 3 approved by the Planning Commission. The recommended Condition No. 2 includes three phases, each identifying a specific project or level of improvement to be completed by the CSDOC. Phase 1 targets landscaping improvements to be completed in conjunction with the surge tower and pump station projects. It is the same as Condition No. 2 approved by the Planning Commission with one exception. The Planning Commission required that CSDOC provide landscaping plans for the portion of the site that faces Pacific Coast Highway prior to commencing construction of the surge tower project. The revised Condition No. 2 requires a plan to be submitted for this task, with actual completion of the plan being prepared in Phase 2. The improvements identified in Phase 2 would be implemented in early 1998. Phase 3 of the revised condition of approval is essentially the same as Condition No. 3 approved by the Planning Commission. It provides for City participation in the CSDOC strategic plan effort. CD96-28.DOC -5- 05/08/96 11:43 AM REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: May 20, 1996 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CD 96-28 E. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING SUMMARY: During the April 9, 1996 Planning Commission meeting one resident spoke regarding concerns about landscaping and views from Pacific Coast Highway. Dave Ludwin, representing the CSDOC, also spoke about the proposed project and the CSDOC's landscaping plans. F. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission moved to have additional landscaping plans prepared which would show landscaping improvements along the frontage of the site facing Pacific Coast Highway and asked that the plans be brought back to them for review and approval. They approved the project with revised conditions of approval. G. SUMMARY The replacement of the existing pump station and surge tower with larger structures will result in potential impacts to views from Brookhurst Street and Pacific Coast Highway. The CSDOC has identified several aesthetic related improvements that they believe will alleviate concerns about the appearance of the site. Staff recommends that the City Council approve Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 and Variance No. 95-32 with revised conditions of approval based on the following considerations: • The pump station and surge tower have been designed to meet projected demand. These two components are integral to the operations of the wastewater treatment plant which provides a service that is essential for the health and safety of Huntington Beach residents and businesses. • The landscaping plans and strategic plan effort planned by the CSDOC will result in an improved appearance of the treatment plant when viewed from Pacific Coast Highway and other public rights of way. Environmental Status: The proposed project was previously reviewed and approved in the Joint Treatment Works Wastewater Master Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearing House No. 88012008) certified by the Board of Directors County Sanitation Districts of Orange County in June 1989. This environmental document evaluated the proposed Surge Tower No. 1 with a height of 88 feet (MSL). When studies of the tower showed it would be necessary to raise the height of the tower 10 feet, the CSDOC prepared a supplement to the previous environmental impact report. The supplement, Supplement No. 3 to Final Program Environmental Impact Report for Collection, Treatment and Disposal Facilities for County Sanitation Districts of Orange County, California, (State Clearing House No. 94071060) was approved by the Board of Supervisors in January 1995.

FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-39/ VARIANCE NO. 95-32 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL- COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-39: 1. The request to permit a 3,200 square foot pump station and an 86 foot high surge tower conforms with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the Coastal Element of the General Plan. The proposed landscaping and mural improvements will improve the appearance of the treatment facility, and completion of the project will promote the Coastal Element goal of providing adequate community facilities within the Coastal Zone. The surge tower will be located at a facility which already includes several other towers and structures which, because of their size, height and stark appearance, may be considered to impact views. The proposed tower will not significantly add to these impacts but because of its height will be visible from Pacific Coast Highway. The proposed landscaping improvements are designed to minimize impacts of the proposed tower and existing structures. Further, the tower will be located at the southeasterly end of the site and will not be visible from the residences on the west side of Brookhurst Avenue. The proposed pump station and surge tower will not impact public access because they are in an area where none exists. 2. Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 is consistent with the CZ suffix zoning requirements, the MI-A Zoning District, as well as other provisions of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code applicable to the property. The proposed development will conform with all applicable City codes. The proposed pump station and surge tower involve the reconstruction and relocation of existing facilities located within the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2. The pump station will conform to all applicable City codes. The surge tower will conform to all City codes with the exception of the maximum height limit of 40 feet. The overall 86 foot height of the proposed surge tower has been approved through the granting of Variance Number 95-32 which has been processed concurrently with the Coastal Development Permit. 3. At the time of commencement of operations, the proposed pump station and surge tower will be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Coastal Element of the General Plan. Infrastructure currently exists to the site. Any modifications to infrastructure required as a result of development of this project have been included as conditions of approval. 4. The proposed pump station and surge tower conform with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. No public access or recreational opportunities will be affected by the new construction. (Attachment No. 1-1) FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL- VARIANCE NO. 95-32: 1. The granting of a variance for an 86 foot high surge tower ( 98 feet MSL) in lieu of maximum 40 foot height will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. The proposed surge tower will be part of the facilities at the existing County Sanitation Districts of Orange County Wastewater Treatment Plant 2. This land use is necessary for the health and safety of the residents and businesses of Huntington Beach. The height of the surge tower is necessary to accommodate the increased wastewater treatment capacity necessitated by current and projected population increases. Any land use in an identical zoning classification which provided a service that was critical for the health and safety of City residents and businesses could be anticipated to be granted a similar variance that was deemed necessary for health and safety reasons. 2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. Strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would deprive the property of its ability to operate the Treatment Plant at its optimum capacity and accommodate future demand. Other industrial uses in the MI-A zoning classification can operate optimally because their successful operation is not determined solely by their ability to directly accommodate population increases. 3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. In order for the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County to meet the wastewater treatment needs of the regional population, it must have the capacity to function at a level which meets these needs. As the population grows, the waste treatment capacity must also increase. The height of the surge tower is determined by the capacity of the treatment plant. Granting a variance from the height restrictions will enable the Treatment Plant to continue to provide the service it was granted approval to provide at this specific site. 4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property in the same zone classification and is consistent with the General Plan. The granting of a variance will enhance the public welfare because it ensures that the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County can provide adequate wastewater treatment service which is necessary for the health and safety of the residents and businesses of Huntington Beach. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL- COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-39/ VARIANCE NO. 95-32: 1.

(Attachment No. 1-5) ............................. .. ...... ..................... "ATT - . MENT�: ........................... FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL STAFF RECOMMENDATION COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-39/ VARIANCE NO. 95-32 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL- COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-39: 1. The-request to permit a 3,200 square foot pump station and an 86 foot high surge tower conforms with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the Coastal Element of the General Plan. The proposed landscaping and mural improvements will improve the appearance of the treatment facility, and completion of the project will promote the Coastal Element goal of providing adequate community facilities within the Coastal Zone. The surge tower will be located at a facility which already includes several other towers and structures which, because of their size, height and stark appearance, may be considered to impact views. The proposed tower will not significantly add to these impacts but because of its height will be visible from Pacific Coast Highway. The proposed landscaping improvements are designed to minimize impacts of the proposed tower and existing structures. Further, the tower will be located at the southeasterly end of the site and will not be visible from the residences on the west side of Brookhurst Avenue. The proposed pump station and surge tower will not impact public access because they are in an area where none exists. 2. Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 is consistent with the CZ suffix zoning requirements, the MI-A Zoning District, as well as other provisions of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code applicable to the property. The proposed development will conform with all applicable City codes. The proposed pump station and surge tower involve the reconstruction and relocation of existing facilities located within the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2. The pump station will conform to all applicable City codes. The surge tower will conform to all City codes with the exception of the maximum height limit of 40 feet. The overall 86 foot height of the proposed surge tower has been approved through the granting of Variance Number 95-32 which has been processed concurrently with the Coastal Development Permit.. 3. At the time of commencement of operations, the proposed pump station and surge tower will be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Coastal Element of the General Plan. Infrastructure currently exists to the site. Any modifications to infrastructure required as a result of development of this project have been included as conditions of approval. 4. The proposed pump station and surge tower conform with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. No public access or recreational opportunities will be affected by the new construction. (Attachment No. 2-1) FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL- VARIANCE NO. 95-32: 1. The granting of a variance for an 86 foot high surge tower(98 feet MSL) in lieu of maximum 40 foot height will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. The proposed surge tower will be part of the facilities at the existing County Sanitation Districts of Orange County Wastewater Treatment Plant 2. This land use is necessary for the health and safety of the residents and businesses of Huntington Beach. The height of the surge tower is necessary to accommodate the increased wastewater treatment capacity necessitated by current and projected population increases. Any land use in an identical zoning classification which provided a service that was critical for the health and safety of City residents and businesses could be anticipated to be granted a similar variance that was deemed necessary for health and safety reasons. 2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. Strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would deprive the property of its ability to operate the Treatment Plant at its optimum capacity and accommodate future demand. Other industrial uses in the MI-A zoning classification can operate optimally because their successful operation is not determined solely by their ability to directly accommodate population increases. 3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. In order for the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County to meet the wastewater treatment needs of the regional population, it must have the capacity to function at a level which meets these needs. As the population grows, the waste treatment capacity must also increase. The height of the surge tower is determined by the capacity of the treatment plant. Granting a variance from the height restrictions will enable the Treatment Plant to continue to provide the service it was granted approval to provide at this specific site. 4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property in the same zone classification and is consistent with the General Plan. The granting of a variance will enhance the public welfare because it ensures that the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County can provide adequate wastewater treatment service which is necessary for the health and safety of the residents and businesses of Huntington Beach.

Buena Park Cypress More specifically, the Districts appeal Conditions 2 and 3 as both unreasonable and Fountain Valley Fullerton unlawful, and further request the City Council to replace these conditions with the Huntington Beach proposed condition recommended by the Districts as outlined below. Irvine La Habra La Palma I. Procedural Background. Los Alamitos Newport Beach Orange The Districts applied for a coastal permit for its project in November 1995 to the Placentia Cityof Huntington Beach. The Districts that time, a reed to submit to the jurisdiction Santa Ana g eac s a g Seal Beach of the City only on the basis that the City act as agent to the Coastal Commission for Stanton purposes of reviewing the Districts construction proposal within the coastal zone. The Tustin Villa Park Districts do not agree that the City, acting in its normal zoning capacity has legal Yorba Linda jurisdiction over the Districts. County of Orange In January 1996, the City of Huntington Beach Zoning Administrator approved Sanitary Districts Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 and Variance No. 95-32. That approval did not contain any special landscaping requirements, or other design element requirements, Costa Mesa relating to land and facilities not directly related to the Districts' proposed construction of Garden Grove Midway City the surge tower or pump station. Water Districts The Districts do propose landscape screening elements with respect to the Irvine Ranch proposed construction. The City, under the Zoning Administrator's approval, requires approval of those plans. The Districts agree with this approach. However, the Zoning Administrator's approval was then promptly appealed by Councilman Tom Harman because of"...negative visual impact of the facilities when viewed from Pacific Coast Highway." During the Planning Commission hearing, City A Public Wastewater and Environmental Management Agency Committed to Protecting the Environment Since 1954 „STRICTS 0 ti�\OR Hq U yM Q ' C 0 Z • THEENVP�NSE�• Mayor Dave Sullivan Members of City Council Page 2 April 19, 1996 staff basically supported the Districts' position which is as follows: 1) the Districts have included landscaping measures to mitigate any aesthetic impacts from the pump station and surge tower construction, and 2) the broader issues of landscaping and aesthetics relating to other parts of the Districts' facilities should not be tied to these subject permits. Councilman Harman, as the appellant, did not provide any further written or oral evidence to articulate his appeal at the Planning Commission hearing. Notwithstanding the City's staff position and the Districts' concerns, the Planning Commission voted to impose two new conditions which Districts' staff just recently obtained. These conditions are Items 2 and 3, which go far beyond landscaping requirements needed to address the surge tower and pump station. They impose requirements relating to landscaping affecting all of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) along the Districts' property, as well as all aesthetic requirements for other parts of the Districts' property. II. Specific Grounds of Appeal. A. Conditions 2 and 3 Lack a Required Legal "Nexus”with Respect to the Surge Tower and Pump Station Construction. Districts contend that Conditions 2 and 3 are unreasonable and lack the required nexus between the purpose of the conditions and the actual impact of the proposed construction. First, the Districts have proposed a landscape plan which buffers the surge tower construction, commencing from its site to the Southeast corner of Districts' property and then approximately 500 feet in a westerly direction along the PCH side of the plant. Conditions 2 and 3, however, require landscaping all along PCH (a 1/2 mile distance) which obviously has nothing to do with screening and mitigating visual impacts arising from the surge tower construction. In short, the purpose of Conditions 2 and 3, i.e., mitigating visual impacts from plant property along PCH, has absolutely no connection to the problem of visual impacts arising from the surge tower construction. Therefore, Conditions 2 and 3 have no nexus to the Districts' project construction. B. Conditions 2 and 3 Are Zoning Requirements Unrelated to the Limited Role of the City Acting in its Capacity of Agent to the Coastal Commission. Conditions 2 and 3 attempt to impose zoning aesthetic requirements with respect to Districts' property, unrelated to the proposed construction, which are beyond the powers of this Coastal Permit process. The Districts have, in good faith, submitted an application under the coastal aN"ST RIFTS 0 ♦ q4 • y o i Mayor Dave Sullivan "NGT„ ENN Members of City Council Page 3 April 19, 1996 permit provisions of state law. The City, in our view and understanding, is acting as an .agent of the State Commission for purposes of reviewing this specific construction ,because it is within the Coastal Commission's jurisdiction. However, this coastal permit process should not be used as a "trigger" for going beyond the need to mitigate aesthetic impacts directly from this construction to other zoning concerns on other parts of Districts' property. The Districts have historically contended that cities do not have the legal authority to extend its zoning police powers to the Districts over zoning matters such as these. C. Conditions 2 and 3 are not Reasonable Because They Fail to Recognize that Other Regulatory Agencies are Involved in Landscape Issues along PCH. The installation of landscaping along PCH on Districts' property requires the close review by the State Department of Fish and Game and the Huntington Beach Coastal Conservancy. State approval is needed because of Fish and Game issues; the Conservancy is involved because part of this subject area is controlled by the Conservancy under an "open space" easement granted to it some years ago. Thus, planning for future landscaping in this area is involved and extensive. The Districts' surge tower project would be substantially delayed if approval by these other agencies is sought. D. Recommended Condition. The Districts recommend that the following Condition replace Conditions 2 and 3: New Condition 2. "The Department of Public Works shall review and approve Districts' landscape plans for this project within 30 days of this approval." The Districts have submitted landscape plans which they believe address the aesthetic impacts from the proposed construction. Indeed, City staff have never objected to, nor requested, modifications of these plans. The Districts will cooperate fully with this review process and adhere to any reasonable modifications proposed by the City. E. Protest Regarding Filing of$1200 Fee for this Appeal. The Districts protest having to pay a $1,200 filing fee for this appeal. The fee was paid to secure the timely filing of the appeal. Historically, the Districts have not required filing of such fees from other public entities, such as cities and; therefore respectfully request that the City refund this filing fee. F. Conclusions. The Districts sincerely wish to work with the City of Huntington Beach regarding aesthetic issues concerning Districts' property. The Districts agree that landscaping is important. Presently, the Districts are developing an "urban design element" as part of toNM TRACTS •!.? yCF 5 O Z Mayor Dave Sullivan �CTNG THE EN� Members of City Council Page 4 April 19, 1996 our new Strategic Plan, to address major landscape and aesthetic issues on plant .including the PCH location. The Districts are committed to bring the City into that :planning process. In conclusion, the Districts request that the City Council vote to approve the coastal permit and allow this project to go forward in a timely way without using this permit to require landscape conditions and other related matters not associated directly with this project. Your areful att tion an onsideration to this important matter is most appreciated. David A. Ludwin, P.E.

PORT. ,< TO: Planning Commission FROM: Howard Zelefsky, Planning Direct BY: Mary Beth Broeren, Associate Planner- DATE: April 9, 1996 SUBJECT: COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-39NARIANCE NO. 95-32 (APPEAL) (SANITATION DISTRICT) (CONTINUED FROM MARCH 26, 1996) LOCATION: 22212 Brookhurst St. (East of Brookhurst St., West of Santa Ana River and North of Pacific Coast Highway) STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Transmitted for Planning Commission consideration are two appeals of the coastal development permit and the variance which were approved by the'Zoning Administrator on January 10, 1996. This item was continued from the March 26, 1996 Planning Commission meeting to allow staff time to resolve conditions of approval. The applications represent a request to construct two structures at Treatment Plant No. 2 operated by the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County. One of the structures is an 86 foot high surge tower that will replace a 55.5 foot high tower and be located approximately 400 feet closer to Pacific Coast Highway. The applicant has requested a variance for the surge tower because it exceeds the maximum 40 foot height permitted for the property. The applicant has indicated that the new location is necessary because of the presence of seismic faults at the location of the existing tower and that the variance request is necessary in order to accommodate projected flows. The second structure is a 3,200 square foot pump station that will replace an existing 400 square foot station. The new pump station is required because of projected demand for water flows. The first appeal is by Tom Harman, City Councilmember, who expressed concerns about negative visual impacts from Pacific Coast Highway. The second appeal was by the applicant because of two conditions of approval pertaining to water issues. The applicant has agreed to include the City in a facility master plan effort to begin late this summer. As part of that effort, landscaping and other aesthetic concerns will be evaluated. Staff believes that this will adequately address the visual impact issues raised in the appeal. Regarding the two conditions of approval appealed by the applicant, staff has achieved a resolution on one condition of approval pertaining to the number of water connection pipes. The Public Works Department is working with the applicant to resolve the other issue regarding the purchase of reclaimed water for landscaping and hopes to provide additional information at the public hearing. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission uphold the Zoning Administrator's approval of Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 and Variance No. 95-32 based on the following considerations: • The pump station and surge tower have been designed to meet projected demand. These two components are integral to the operations of the wastewater treatment plant which provides a service that is essential for the health and safety of Huntington Beach residents and businesses. • The facilities master plan effort will evaluate aesthetics of the site, including landscape and mural alternatives, and will result in projects that will minimize negative visual impacts of the facilities. .o r � BANNING AVE ♦ , LJ L V R,,Q..

To construct a 3.200 square foot pump station pursuant to Section 989.5.2 of the Huntington .Beach Local Coastal Program (LCP). B. To construct an 86 foot high hydraulic surge tower, pursuant to Section 989.5.2 of the LCP. The proposed pump station will replace an existing, smaller station that is approximately 400 square feet and seven feet high. The new pump station will be located in the vicinity of the existing station along Brookhurst Street, near the main entrance to the treatment plant, and is approximately 24 feet high. In general, pump stations are required when fluid cannot be transported via gravity flow. A sewage treatment plant cannot have a direct connection to a water system; consequently, a physical air gap (separation) is required. A pump station is necessary to pump the water from the air gap tank. The County Sanitation Districts of Orange County (CSDOC) reports that as part of their long range construction plans, they had planned to build a new facility to accommodate demand. However, a pump station that is larger than originally planned is necessary because of City of Huntington Beach Fire Department requirements. There are currently two surge towers, No. 1 and No. 2, at the project site. The surge towers reduce surges in wastewater flow that could otherwise damage outfall pipes that carry treated wastewater to the Pacific Ocean. The applicant proposes to demolish existing Surge Tower No. 1 ( 55.5 feet high; MSL 69 feet) and replace it with the proposed 86 foot high structure (98 feet MSL) which will have an inside diameter of 26 feet. The new tower will also be called Surge Tower No. 1 and will be located approximately 400 feet closer to Pacific Coast Highway, at a distance of approximately 1,200 feet from the roadway. The applicant has indicated that this new location is necessary because of the presence of seismic faults at the location of existing Surge Tower No. 1. Similar to the existing Surge Tower No. 1, the proposed surge tower will have a spiral staircase wrapped around the outside to allow access for inspections. Both surge towers will be painted gray. [Please note that the LCP measures height from top of curb, referred to as "grade" in this report. However, the CSDOC uses mean sea level (MSL) when reporting the height of structures. There is an approximate 12 foot differential between MSL and grade for the project site. Thus, the CSDOC reports the proposed Surge Tower No. 1 at 98 feet MSL; this is the equivalent of 86 feet from grade. Both measurements are provided throughout this report.] Variance No. 95-32 is a request to permit an 86 foot high surge tower in lieu of 40 ft. (exceeds maximum building height by 46 feet) pursuant to Section 9510.4 of the LCP. The applicant has indicated that the variance request is necessary in order to accommodate projected flows. (Attachment No. 3) According to studies done for the applicant, the maximum water surface level could reach 96 feet (MSL). Because this is higher than existing Surge Tower No. 2 (76.5 feet grade; 88 feet MSL), it was recommended that the new Surge Tower No. 1 be built 98 feet high (MSL). Staff Report-4/9/96 3 (PCSR188) On January 10, 1996, the Zoning Administrator approved the coastal development permit and the variance request with conditions of approval (Attachment No. 4) finding that the project was necessary for the public welfare. The project was appealed by Councilmember Harman on January 18, 1996. His appeal letter notes that there will be negative visual impacts from Pacific Coast Highway. (Attachment No. 5) On January 23, 1996, the applicant also appealed the project because of two conditions of approval pertaining to water issues. (Attachment No. 6) The water issues include the purchase of reclaimed water used to irrigate landscaping (Condition of Approval No. 7g, as approved by the Zoning Administrator) and the number of pipes that will be installed (Condition of Approval No. 7c); both are conditions of approval from the Department of Public Works. ISSUES: General Plan Conformance: The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan and the Land Use Element designation of Public, Quasi-Public, Institutional on the subject property. This Land Use designation specifically allows for utilities. The project, designed to accommodate projected demand, furthers the General Plan Land Use Goal of"providing utility systems to meet projected demands." The proposed project is also consistent with the Draft General Plan approved by the Planning Commission in December, 1995 which maintains the Public land use designation on the subject property. Zoning Compliance: This project is located in the M1-A-CZ-FP2 zone (Restricted Manufacturing-Coastal Zone-Floodplain) and complies with the requirements of that zone with the exception of the subject variance request. The following is a zoning conformance matrix which compares the proposed project with the development standards of Chapter 951 of the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program: :. :. ,RE: .>R. 9510.04 Building Height 40 ft.

Environmental Status: The proposed project was previously reviewed and approved in the Joint Treatment Works Wastewater Master Plan Environmental Impact Report(State Clearing House No. 88012008) certified by the Board of Directors County Sanitation Districts of Orange County in June 1989. This environmental document evaluated the proposed Surge Tower No. 1 with a height of 88 feet (MSL). When studies of the tower showed it would be necessary to raise the height of the tower 10 feet, the CSDOC prepared a supplement to the previous environmental impact report. The supplement, Supplement No. 3 to Final Program Environmental Impact Report for Collection, Treatment and Disposal Facilities for County Sanitation Districts of Orange County, California, (State Clearing House No. 94071060) was approved by the Board of Supervisors in January 1995. Coastal Status: The proposed project is within an appealable portion of the Coastal Zone. Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 is being processed concurrently with Variance No. 95-32 pursuant to Section 989.5 of the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program. The proposed project complies with the zoning code and Coastal Zone requirements, and will-implement the following policies of the Coastal Element of the General Plan: • Improve the appearance of visually degraded areas. • Promote the provision of adequate community facilities within the Coastal Zone. Redevelopment Status: Not applicable. Design Review Board: Not applicable. Subdivision Committee: Not applicable. Other Departments Concerns: The Departments of Public Works and Fire have recommended conditions which are incorporated into the conditions of approval. The Police Department and Building Division have no concerns. ANALYSIS: Appeal by City Councilmember Tom Harman As noted, this appeal is based on the negative visual impacts of the proposed facilities when viewed from Pacific Coast Highway. Although the project site is separated from Pacific Coast Highway by the flood control channel and the wetlands area, many of the plant's existing structures are of substantial size and height and, as such, are clearly visible from that roadway. The proposed pump station will be 24 feet high and will be located approximately 2,100 feet from Pacific Coast Highway. Because of that distance and the size of the pump station, staff does not believe that the pump station will have a noticeable negative Staff Report-4/9/96 5 (PCSR188) visual impact for pedestrians and vehicle passengers on Pacific Coast Highway. The pump station will be more visible, however, from Brookhurst Street than the existing station. Therefore, staff is recommending that additional landscaping be installed by the applicant between the proposed pump station and the existing block wall along Brookhurst Street. The applicant is in agreement with this recommendation. The-.proposed Surge Tower No. 1 will be clearly visible from Pacific Coast Highway, as are the existing Surge Towers No. 1 and No. 2. Moreover, the applicant proposes to build the surge tower 400 feet closer to the roadway to minimize potential damage to the structure from seismic shaking. The applicant has developed a comprehensive landscape plan for the plant to address aesthetic issues. (Attachment No. 7). This landscape master plan was developed in 1986 and provides the basis from which more detailed landscape plans are prepared as specific facilities are built or relocated. Pursuant to the proposed surge tower project and other nearby facilities, the applicant has developed three detailed landscape plans. (Attachment No. 8) This landscaping will be concentrated along the eastern and southern edges of the project site, along the Santa Ana River and the wetlands area bordering Pacific Coast Highway, and will complement existing landscaping that has already been planted by the applicant. One of these plans has been implemented; the CSDOC intends to complete the other landscaping improvements as soon as possible in conjunction with the surge tower project. The Department of Public Works has reviewed these plans and has determined that modifications should be made with regard to the quantity and type of plant material. In addition, there are other locations on the project site which could receive additional landscaping. Staff believes that these changes will augment the CSDOC's plans and assist in buffering views from Pacific Coast Highway. Staff recommends two conditions of approval to address the landscape plans: 1) submittal of revised landscape plans to the Department of Public Works for review and comment, and 2)joint review of the CSDOC's landscape master plan, by the Department of Public Works and the CSDOC, for possible changes. With regard to staffs second recommendation, the CSDOC has suggested that the City participate in a facility master plan effort, including a landscape element, that is anticipated to begin late this summer. Staff has also prepared a conceptual plan for murals to be painted on the surge towers, the existing block wall that borders the flood control channel south of the project site facing Pacific Coast Highway and the digesters west of this wall. In concert with the proposed landscaping, the murals could assist in minimizing the taller structures on the site that are in stark contrast to the surrounding area. The CSDOC currently does not support the mural concept for several reasons. The CSDOC reports that because of the chemicals used and materials and temperatures of many of its facilities, most paints will not adhere adequately. Thus, maintenance of the murals would be a significant burden. The CSDOC staff also believe that enhanced landscaping will adequately improve the site. Staff recommends that the mural concept be considered as part of the facilities master plan effort discussed above. Appeal by County Sanitation Districts of Orange County Condition of Approval No. 7c (reference to Zoning Administrator Conditions of Approval) This condition addresses the number of pipes that will connect the proposed pump station to the City's water line. As recommended by the Department of Public Works, and approved by the Zoning Administrator, there would be two 16 inch water connections. This provides the optimum level of Staff Report-4/9/96 6 (PCSR188) protection for the treatment facility. In the event of a fire, for example, if one of the pipes broke the project site would have a second water supply to fight fires on site. The applicant believes that two water connections are not necessary and that the City's water system could adequately be protected by installing one pipe connection with two valves, one on either side of the pipe. The.applicant notes that they have two back-up water systems at their plant that would ensure a water source for the project site if the water connection pipe were to break. The Department of Public Works believes the condition benefits the applicant but is willing to revise the condition (to require one connection instead of two) if the applicant acknowledges the potential risk in writing from a CSDOC Director. The applicant has indicated that they believe one water connection pipe is adequate and requests the condition be removed. (Attachment No. 9) Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the project with one 16 inch water connection, pending the Department of Public Works' receipt of acceptable correspondence from the CSDOC. Condition of Approval No. 7g (reference to Zoning Administrator Conditions of Approval) This condition requires that the applicant purchase any reclaimed water to be used for irrigating landscaping from the City of Huntington Beach. The Public Works Department required this condition of approval because of the City's 1991 agreement with Orange County Water District (OCWD)*which identifies the CSDOC as a potential purchaser of reclaimed water from City of Huntington Beach. This agreement, however, appears to be in conflict with a 1993 agreement between the OCWD and the CSDOC which stipulates that the CSDOC receive its reclaimed water from the OCWD. Additionally, that agreement requires that the CSDOC provide the reclaimed water (with secondary treatment) to the OCWD free of charge. (The reclaimed water that the CSDOC receives back from the OCWD has tertiary treatment.) The applicant does not think that it is reasonable, nor practical, to receive and buy reclaimed water from the City of Huntington Beach for two reasons. First, it provides the water free of charge to the OCWD, which in turn treats the water and sells it to the City. Second, per a related agreement with OCWD, it has pipes which deliver and receive reclaimed water directly to and from the OCWD that do not require it to use or tap into City lines. The Department of Public Works has requested a legal opinion from the City Attorney regarding the reclaimed water and that decision is pending. Staff believes that the contractual issue is outside the purview of the entitlement process, however, and recommends that the Planning Commission remove this condition of approval and take action on the request. SUMMARY: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission uphold the Zoning Administrator's approval of Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 and Variance No. 95-32 with findings and revised conditions of approval based on the following considerations: The pump station and surge tower have been designed to meet projected demand. These two components are integral to the operations of the wastewater treatment plant which provides a service that is essential for the health and safety of Huntington Beach residents and businesses. Staff Report-4/9/96 7 (PCSR188) + The facilities master plan effort will evaluate aesthetics of the site, including landscape and mural alternatives, and will result in projects that will minimize negative visual impacts of the facilities. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The Planning Commission may take either of the following two (2) alternative actions: A. Deny Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39Nariance No. 95-32 with findings for denial. B. Continue Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39/Variance No. 95-32 and direct staff accordingly. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Findings and Suggested Conditions of Approval 2.

The request to permit a 3,200 square foot pump station and an 86 foot high surge tower conforms with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the Coastal Element of the General Plan. The proposed landscaping and mural improvements will improve the appearance of the treatment facility, and completion of the project will promote the Coastal Element goal of providing adequate community facilities within the Coastal Zone. The surge tower will be located at a facility which already includes several other towers and structures which, because of their size, height and stark appearance, may be considered to impact views. The proposed tower will not significantly add to these impacts but because of its height will be visible from Pacific Coast Highway. The proposed landscaping improvements are designed to minimize impacts of the proposed tower and existing structures. Further, the tower will be located at the southeasterly end of the site and will not be visible from the residences on the west side of Brookhurst Avenue. The proposed pump station and surge tower will not impact public access because they are in an area where none exists. 2. Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 is consistent with the CZ suffix zoning requirements, the MI-A Zoning District, as well as other provisions of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code applicable to the property. The proposed development will conform with all applicable City codes. The proposed pump station and surge tower involve the reconstruction and relocation of existing facilities located within the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2. The pump station will conform to all applicable City codes. The surge tower will conform to all City codes with the exception of the maximum height limit of 40 feet. The overall 86 foot height of the proposed surge tower has been approved through the granting of Variance Number 95-32 which has been processed concurrently with the Coastal Development Permit. 3. At the time of commencement of operations, the proposed pump station and surge tower will be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Coastal Element of the General Plan. Infrastructure currently exists to the site. Any modifications to infrastructure required as a result of development of this project have been included as conditions of approval. 4. The proposed pump station and surge tower conform with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. No public access or recreational opportunities will be affected by the new construction. Attachment-4/9/96 (PCSR188-9) FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL- VARIANCE NO. 95-32: 1. The granting of a variance for an 86 foot high surge tower ( 98 feet MSL) in lieu of maximum 40 foot height will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. The proposed surge tower will be part of the facilities at the existing County Sanitation Districts of Orange County Wastewater Treatment Plant 2. This land use is necessary for the health and safety of the residents and businesses of Huntington Beach. The height of the surge tower is necessary to accommodate the increased wastewater treatment capacity necessitated by current and projected population increases. Any land use in an identical zoning classification which provided a service that was critical for the health and safety of City residents and businesses could be anticipated to be granted a similar variance that_was deemed necessary for health and safety reasons. 2. Because of special circumstances applicable to.the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. Strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would deprive the property of its ability to operate the Treatment Plant at its optimum capacity and accommodate future demand. Other industrial uses in the M1-A zoning classification can operate optimally because their successful operation is not determined solely by their ability to directly accommodate population increases. 3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. In order for the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County to meet the wastewater treatment needs of the regional population, it must have the capacity to function at a level which meets these needs. As the population grows, the waste treatment capacity must also increase. The height of the surge tower is determined by the capacity of the treatment plant. Granting a variance from the height restrictions will enable the Treatment Plant to continue to provide the service it was granted approval to provide at this specific site. 4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property in the same zone classification and is consistent with the General Plan. The granting of a variance will enhance the public welfare because it ensures that the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County can provide adequate wastewater treatment service which is necessary for the health and safety of the residents and businesses of Huntington Beach.

ANSWER: Project Description The outfall reliability project will be constructed at County Sanitation District Treatment Plant No. 2 located 2OF5 in Huntington Beach, California adjacent to the Santa Ana River mouth, north of Pacific Coast Highway and east of Brookhurst Avenue. The project includes modifications to the existing ocean outfall system to provide new on-shore piping, valving, and construction of a new surge tower and modifications to an existing surge tower. Our new surge tower will be 400 feet to the south of our existing Surge Towers, and rise to an elevation of 98 feet (MSL) , some 10 feet higher than planned in the 1989 Program EiR. The Districts ocean outfall facilities consist of three booster pump stations, two surge towers and three discharges (two to the ocean via outfall and an emergency overflow to the Santa Ana River) . Primary and secondary treated wastewater from both plants is transferred to the ocean outfall facilities via the interplant '.pipelines. under normal operation conditions, the co-mingled effluents are pumped through the 120-inch diameter ocean outfall (Discharge 001) placed into service in 1971. This outfall replaced an older 78-inch-diameter outfall which is still available for standby service. Surge Tower No. 1 and No. 2 reduce surges in wastewater flow that could otherwise damage the outfall pipes. New Surge Tower No. 1 serves the standby emergency 78-inch outfall (Discharge No. 002) and existing Surge Tower No. 2 serves the active 120-inch-diameter outfall (Discharge 001) . The new proposed surge tower will be a 98-foot tall round concrete structure some 26 feet (inside) in diameter which will have a spiral staircase wrapped around the outside to provide access to the open top for inspections and observations. This new structure will be designated Surge Tower No. l and replace an existing structure located 400 feet to the north which will be demolished once the replacement tower is operational. There will be new piping and valving which will connect the two surge towers with both ocean outfall . The plan also includes the addition of a valve station connecting outfall 001 and 002 downstream of the surge instrumentation. Overall the project costs are estimated to be in the range of $5 . 5-$6 million. 3OF5 b) QUESTION: Description and population served by the proposed use of .project? ANSWER: The area served is the westerly portion of Orange County, including 23 cities. The population served is approximately 2 , 100 , 000 . c) QUESTION: Description of project and services, including square footage, hours and days of operation, number of employees, and other information as appropriate? ANSWER: :or description of the project, please refer Co 13 (a) . The treatment Plant is manned 24 hours a day. d) QUESTION: Description of surrounding uses to the North, South, East and West?

JANUARY 10. 1996 - 1:30 P.M. ZONrN- G ADMINIISTRATOR: Michael Strange STAFF MEMBERS. Susan Pierce, Catherine Johnson, Mary Beth Broeren, Lisa Koch MINUTES: None ORAL COTyLNAUNICATION: None ITEM 1: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 95-96 DESIGN REVIEW BOARD NO. 95-52 (CONTINUED FROM 01-03-96) Applicant: Evergreen Devco, Inc. - Brett Heron, Request: To permit a 1,900 square foot retail pharmacy with two (2) drive-through lanes. Location: 17502 Beach Boulevard (southeast corner of Beach Boulevard and Slater Avenue) Susan Pierce, staff planner, stated that this application was continued from January 3, 1996, to allow the City and the applicant an opportunity to investigate whether or not the utility pole, located at the south side of Slater Avenue, should be removed and all utilities be located underground. The applicant has been in communication with the telephone company and has expressed concern over the cost of undergrounding. Bruce Crosby, Public Works engineer, stated that in regards to the driveway facing Slater Avenue, he recommends the condition read, "The existing driveway on Slater Avenue shall be removed in the event the redesign does not conform to the requirements of the Traffic Engineer." Mr. Crosby recommended that the second item of concern, the undergrounding of utilities, be executed. Public Works does not see this as placing a hardship on the applicant. Under normal circumstances, the applicant would have an obligation to conduct off-site improvements. iPA,ENT NO. '4. I ]anuary 10. 1996 Zoning Administr fleeting Minutes Page 2 However, the City has already completed improvements on the surrounding streets of the subject property. Thus, the cost of undergrounding is not excessive compared to the cost that would have incurred if off-site improvements were necessary. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Mr. O'Neil, legal representative for Evergreen Devco Inc., was present and submitted a copy of the "pork chop" design for the entrance off of Slater, as well as the estimated costs for undergrounding the utilities. Mr. O'Neil stated that the actual costs involved with undergrounding are excessive and unreasonable. Brett Heron, applicant, requested that the curb cut off of Slater be approved with the "pork chop" design median and that the underarounding of utilities not be necessary. Mr. Heron stated that the costs involved with underarounding are more excessive than Public Works' estimates. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 95-96/DESIGN REVIEW BOARD NO. 95-52 WAS CONDITIONALLY APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR. HE STATED THAT THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR CAN BE APPEALED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHIN TEN (10) CALENDAR DAYS. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 95-96 /DESIGN REVIEW BOARD NO. 95-52: 1. The establishment, maintenance and operation of an 1,900 square feet pharmacy with two drive-through lanes will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity nor detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. Parking will be provided for the proposed use in excess of the minimum requirements of Chapter 231 of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. A stacking area for vehicles is available for cars waiting to enter the drive-through lanes. Reciprocal access will be provided to the property located south ofthe subject site. Construction will be in compliance with regulations of the Uniform Building Code. 2. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 95-96 and Design Review Board No. 95-52 to permit construction of an 1,900 square feet pharmacy with two drive-through lanes will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach. The goals of the Land Use Element for commercial districts are to insure commercial development that is economically viable, attractive, well related to other land uses, and satisfies the needs of the City's residents and to promote.the development of services and facilities necessary to support a tourist industry. The General Commercial land use designation allows for these types of commercial uses. The proposed project with one access to Beach Boulevard will not impact the circulation on the major highway. The Design Review Board has reviewed and recommended approval of the architectural design of the proposed structure. (g:zamin:0110) 14. z ]anuan.10,1996 Zoning Administra, Aeeting Minutes Page 3 3. The proposed use will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located. The proposed site plan depicts setbacks, building height, floor area ratio, landscaping, and parking in compliance with the requirements applicable to the CG, General Commercial District. SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERINUT NO. 95-96 / DESIGN REVIEW BOARD NO. 95-52: 1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated December 5, 1995 shall be the conceptually approved layout with the following, modifications: a.

ITEM 2: COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERiMIT NO. 95-39 VARIANCE NO. 95-32 (CONTINUED FROM 01-03-96) Applicant: Orange County Sanitation District Request: The construction of a new 3,200 square foot pump station and the reconstruction of an existing hydraulic surge tower. A variance is requested for the 98 foot high tower which exceeds the maximum 50 feet height permitted by code. Location: Orange County Sanitation District Wastewater Treatment Plant Number 2, 22212 Brookhurst Avenue (approximately 2,200 feet north of Pacific Coast Highway, adjacent to the Santa Ana River) Cathy Johnson, staff planner, stated that this was a proposal for the reconstruction of a surge tower and pump station. The proposed surge tower will be a replacement for an existing surge tower that will be demolished. The oruosed surge tower will be placed 82 feet west of the property line, will be 98 feet tall and 26 feet in diameter. The application also includes a 3,200 square foot pump station to be located approximately 50 feet from Brookhurst. Ms. Johnson stated that two (2) phone calls were received expressing concerns over the height of the surge tower and one letter requesting that the project be denied. Staff recommended approval of this request based on the project's necessity for the health and safety ofthe community to accommodate increased demand. THE PUBLIC HEARI\i`G WAS OPENED. Tom Dawes, representative from the Orange County Sanitation District, stated that the height of the tower must be equal to the water pressure. It was noted that there are no other design solutions possible. The height of the tower is completely independent of the size of the structure and making the tower shorter and wider would not fulfill the same functional requirement which necessitates the 98 foot height. Mr. Dawes presented an altered photograph that illustrated what the facility would look like with the proposed surge tower and pump station. Mr. Dawes stated that the plant construction would be interior and no traffic would be generated. Madeline Ondoor, area resident, stated that she was not notified of this project. Ms. Ondoor requested clarification on why the existing tower had to be demolished and if it was completely necessary. (B:zamin:0110) ANT N0. _1— January 10,1996 Zoning Administra- .fleeting Minutes Page 7 Frank Horzewski, area resident, questioned approximately how long the project would take until its completion. It was noted that the project would take a year and a half(1 1/2) to two (2) years. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-39NARIANCE NO. 95-32 WAS CONDITIONALLY APPROVED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR. HE STATED THAT THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE ZONLNG ADMINISTRATOR CAN BE APPEALED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITHIN TEN (10) CALENDAR DAYS. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL- COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-39: 1. The request to permit a pump station and surge tower conforms with the plans, policies, requirements and standards ofthe Coastal Element of the General Plan. The proposed pump station and surge tower will not impact public views and access because they are in an area where none exist. Because of the significant height (98 feet) ofthe surge tower, it will be visible from Pacific Coast Highway. However, the tower will be located at.a facility which already includes several other towers and structures which, because of their size, height and stark appearance, may be considered to impact views. The proposed tower will not significantly add to these impacts. Further, the tower will be located at the southeasterly end of the site and will not be visible from the residences on the west side of Brookhurst Avenue. 2. Coastal Development Permit No. 95-39 is consistent with the CZ su�;x zoning requirements, the M1-A Zoning District, as well as other provisions of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code applicable to the property. The proposed development will conform with all applicable City codes. The proposed pump station and surge tower involve the reconstruction and relocation of existing facilities located within the Orange County Sanitation District Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2. The pump station will conform to all applicable City codes. The surge tower will conform to all City codes with the exception of the maximum height limit of 40 feet. The overall 98 foot height of the proposed surge tower has been approved through the granting of Variance Number 95-32 which has been processed concurrently with the Coastal Development Permit. 3. At the time of commencement of operations, the proposed pump station and surge tower will be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the coastal element of the General Plan. Infrastructure currently exists to the site. Any modifications to infrastructure required as a result of development of this project have been included as conditions of approval. 4. The proposed pump station and surge tower conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. No public access or recreational opportunities will be affected by the new construction. (g:zamin:0110) January 10, 1996 Zoning Administr. .Meeting Minutes Page 8 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL- VARIANCE NO. 95-32: 1. The granting of a variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. The proposed surge tower will be part of the facilities at the existing Orange County Sanitation District Wastewater Treatment Plant 2. This land use is necessary for the health and safety of the residents of Huntington Beach. The 98 foot height of the surge tower is necessary to accommodate the increased wastewater treatment capacity necessitated by current and projected population increases. Any land use in an identical zoning classification .N,hlch provided a service that is critical for the health and safety of City residents could be anticipated to be granted any variances that were deemed necessary to insure the health and safety of the residents of Huntington Beach. 2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. In order for the Sanitation District to meet the waste treatment needs of the regional population, it must have the capacity to function at a level which meets-these needs. As the population grows, the waste treatment_eapacity must also increase. The height of the surge tower is determined by the capacity of the treatment plant. Strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would deprive the property of its ability to accommodate the Treatment Plant at its optimum capacity. Other industrial uses in the MI-A zoning classification can operate optimally, because their successful operation is not determined solely by their ability to directly accommodate population increases. 3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. Granting a variance from the height restrictions will allow the Treatment Plant to provide the service it was granted approval to provide at this specific site. 4. The granting ofthe variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property in the same zone classification and is consistent with the General Plan. The granting of a variance will enhance the public welfare because it ensures that the sanitation district can provide adequate wastewater treatment service which is necessary for the health and safety of the residents of Huntington Beach. SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. The site plan, floor plans, and elevations received and dated November 13, 1995 for the surge tower and December 12, 1995 for the pump station shall be the conceptually approved layout. 2. The Zoning Administrator shall be notified in writing if any changes in structure height, floor area, setbacks, building elevations or open space are proposed as a result of the plan (g:zamin:0110) January 10, 1996 Zoning Administra— ..Ieeting Minutes Page 9 check process.

Prior to construction, a flood-proofing certificate shall be provided to the Planning Division. 5. Provide landscape architect's plans for review and approval of screening plant material and irrigation. 6. The Fire Department requirements are: a.

The water service lateral between the property line and the air-gap tank shall be located a minimum of six(6) inches above ground and painted medium blue, Dunn-Edwards No. 10-1-VF51652, with white stenciling. The stenciling shall appear on both sides of the pipe with the marking"City Potable Water" in one-inch letters repeated every 24 inches. c. The project shall be served by a minimum of two (2) water service connections from the sixteen-inch water main in Brookhurst Street. A sixteen-inch valve in the mainline shall be constructed between the two connections. These service connections shall not be joined together on the"public" side of the meter. d. If the meters are not to be located in the public right-of-way, the developer shall be responsible for the preparation and execution of all utility easements/agreements required by the City granting the City the same rights and privileges as if the meters were located in the public right-of-way. These rights and privileges shall include (but are not limited to) 24 hour access, maintenance and testing, etc. The (g:zamin:0110) January 10, 1996 Zoning Administrai-. ..leeting Minutes Page 10 City shall be responsible for the ownership and maintenance of the water facilities/appurtenances between the mainline and up to and including the meter assembly. e.

Although the District serves the population of Orange County in a very important way, such an increase in project height is simply net acceptable and contrary to goals and policies to improve the visual character of our City. Although Huntington Beach benefits from a unique coastal location, it suffers from a certain visual ugliness in many ways. As the Draft General Plan even points out, the City has some "visual elements which confuse, diffuse, and weaken the community's identity". The OC Sanitation Plant is one of the more prominent visual liabilities in our City. Prominantly located on Pacific Coast Highway, the facility is the first thing one sees when approaching from Newport Beach. Have you ever travelled north, crossed the PCH bridge at the Santa Ana River, and been greeted by the OC Sanitation Plant. It is not an appealing sight in the dayu or night - sort of like driving through Carson or Torrance on the 405 freeway - definitely the other side of the tracks compared to the City's more affluent neighbor to the south. As a homeowner near the project, it is unsettling to think that the plant is going to get higher, and particularly disturbing that they dare to propose an increase to 98 feet on a parcel with a height zoning restriction of 50 feet. My neighbors in this part of town care about Huntington Beach and feel this type of request represents another threat to the City's visual image and quality of life. It is a slap in the face of the hard work that Citizens and your own planning staff have put into creating a new General Plan that addresses the need to improve the City's entry nodes/visual corridors. Please deny the OC Sanitation District's request. We do not need more ugliness added to our City. Sincerely, Jon D.

For over 20 years I have watched this site develop and continue to expand. For the most part, it has been for the positive as far as improved processing tanks, etc. However, there has always been one piece of the puzzle missing, as far as-I am concerned. That piece is the landscaping along the be'ach side of the plant. A lot of building and improvements have been addressed over the years, but that one ingredient missing has always left that plant an"eye-sore" to the community. I am not in favor of any more building on the site that would make it even more visible than it is currently, without the addition of a landscape plan to their request for variance. As a Realtor in the area, I hear the many comments on the unsightly appearance of the plant and the hesitation of some to not want to be near such a gruesome sight. Property values are at stake here also. As the plant becomes larger and more visible, the property values will take a downward slope and become harder and harder to sell. Therefore it is absolutely mandatory to address the appearance of such a site right now, before the damage takes place. I'm sure you would agree that pro-active management is far better than reactive management. Being ahead of a problem is far more advantageous than trying to catch up and solve the problem later. The small cost of implementing a landscape plan would definitely benefit the aesthetics of the cities southern most entrypoint. I therefore ask you to DENY the Sanitation District request for a variance and demand that they be required to implement a substantial landscaping plan along the PCH side of the plant before continuing any further. jnRcely V Warde ATTACHMENT NO. � L_ ADDENDUM ITEM B-1 REVISED CONDITION OF APPROVAL COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 95-39/ VARIANCE NO. 95-32 2.

Dear Mr. Biddle: In January,.the City's Zoning.Administrator gave approval to the OC Sanitation District's (OCSD) request for a Coastal Development Permit and Variance to increase the height of their surge tower to 98 feet and move such facilities closer to Pacific Coast Highway. Although the action recognized the importance of the sewage plant's function, absolutely no consideration was given to the visual ugliness that continues to be imposed on the southern gateway to our City by such uses. The OCSD sewage facility is the welcoming sign for visitors, tourists, residents or potential homebuyers as they enter our City from Newport Beach. The approval represented a blatant disregard for the stated goals and policies put forth in the City's General Plan. Specifically, the approval of the subject permit/variance to increase the height and move a tower closer to PCH violated the following provisions of the City's Coastal and Scenic Highways Elements of the General Plan.- Coastal Element Scenic Highways Element 3.6.2.3 Visual resources 3.2.3.2 Land Use & Development 3.6.2.3 1. a 3.2.3.3 Landscape Corridors 3.6.2.3 1. a (3) 3.6.2.3 1. a (4) 3.6.2.3 2 Improve visually degraded areas 3.6.2.3 2. a All Orange County residents use our City's proximity to the ocean in one way or another, whether its the beach, Edison's generation of electricity or OCSD's sewage disposal. Unlike the beachgoers who pay for parking and sales tax with purchases, the utilities have been allowed to expand their ugly operations without any concern for the City's image. FIB Planning Commiss._n Page 2 The excuse for the variance that Orange County's population is growing and needs to be accomodated with a higher tower, closer to PCH, is no reason to abandon sensible and forward-thinking planning policies. The OCSD is capable of mitigating the ugliness at its facility. The District has $1 million sitting in a "Site and Security Landscaping Program" budget that has been earmarked for landscaping but not spent. If they have $300 million to try to buy the County's landfills, they certainly can spend what has already been planned and budgeted since 1986 and maybe more. Conditions of Approval Comments and Recommendations Condition#2: Unlike when other developments by builders are conditionally approved in this City, Condition #2 is vague and only requires that the "applicant work with the Department of public Works to augment landscape plans dated 2/15/96....within 3 months of this approval". The revised plans would then only "be submitted to the Planning Commission for information". The landscape plans submitted to Planning dated 2/15/96 by the applicant are clearly not sufficient (the use of 1 to 5 gallon plants in a scarce manner). Recommendation #2: Plans for any future mitigation plan should be approved by the Planning Commission prior to final approval of this request, not presented as information" at some amiguous future time. This should not present a hardship or significant delay since, according to the Staff Report, OCSD has already prepared an unimplented landscape plan in 1986 (Attachments 7.2 and 7.5) and has had discussions with HB landscape/tree staff. Condition#2b: This condition allows the applicant "A phasing plan identifying timing for landscape improvements to be completed over the next two years". Recommendation #2b: Wording should be changed to "....to be completed in conjunction with construction of the proposed surge tower or over a maximum of two years" That would be more specific. Such wording would be similar to other entitlement conditions for other applicants/developers in this Clty. Condition#3: The. applicant would only be required to "include the City of Huntington Beach as a Team Member in a facilities master plan": HB Planning Commiss,_,i Page 3 Such a master plan will only "examine ways in which to improve the aesthetics of the project site, including landscaping and muraling". Recommendation #3: According to the Staff Report and Attachments 7.2 and 7.5, a Site and Security Landscape Masterplan has been on the books since 1986. The OCSD should update this plan with the guidance of HB's Staff, and present such an updated, detailed version of the plan for approval by the Planning Commision in a timely fashion. Such a plan including substantial visual mitigation .of the Pacific Coast_ Highway side of the sewage facility should be repuired and approved before the Permit/Variance is allowed. Examine ways"is not sufficient and I guarantee that such would only create a myriad of issues and meetings,. instead of OCSD quickly and efficiently working to resolve the problem at hand. If the Planning Commission does not require visual mitigation of these facilities now, as a requisite for approval, the quality and likelihood of their incorporation at a future date would be questionable. Millions of dollars have been spent over the last decade on our Downtown, Pier Plaza, The Waterfront, and other projects in an effort to improve Huntington Beach for business and its residents. If Orange County's population is growing to the extent that it is necessary to construct more visually damaging facilities in our City's southern gateway, than it is also time for the OC Sanitation District to step up and substantially mitigate these impacts. I urge you to DENY Coastal Development Permit #95-39 and Variance #95-32 with findings that the Conditions of Approval do not provide adequate assurance that . OCSD's facility will be visually mitigated in a substantial or timely manner. Sincerely, Jon D.
