Box 1450 Long Beach, CA 90810-1450 Re: City of Huntington Beach Resolution No. 6592 "REAFFIRMING SUPPORT FOR THE BOLSA CHICA REGIONAL PARK AND APPROVING WITH CONDITIONS THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR PHASE -IA OF THE BOLSA CHICA REGIONAL PARK (COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-28 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERP1IT NO. 94-3) The City Council of the City of Huntington Beach adopted Resolution No. 6592, as amended, at their meeting held May 2, 1994. A certified copy of Resolution No. 6592 is enclosed 'for your records.' If there are any questions regarding this matter please call the Office of the City Clerk at (714) 536-5227. Connie Brockway, CMC City Clerk Enclosure CB:ES Page 8 - Statement of Action - 05/02/94 2. The proposed design for Phase 1 A as revised is consistent with the plan's policies, requirements and standards of the City's Local Coastal Program. 3. The proposed design for Phase 1A as revised is consistent with the CZ suffix designation and the base zoning district and other applicable provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning Code. i i 4. The proposed design for Phase 1 A as revised properly integrates the proposed park uses in a manner sensitive to the surrounding residential properties. 5. The proposed design for Phase 1 A as revised included temporary on-street parking to serve Phase 1 A visitors until permanent parking space on-site can be constructed as Phase 1 BC of the Park. 6. The combination and relationship of proposed uses to each other in the Plan as revised are properly integrated. 7. The pedestrian and bicycle trail system will provide additional access opportunities in the Bolsa Chica area, while perimeter fencing will discourage human access into environmentally sensitive area and minimize disturbances to wildlife. 8. Some filling of the drainage ravine may be necessary to eliminate potential safety hazards to park users and to provide adequate trail separation, and the filling and modification of the ravine will be adequately mitigated by the creation of an approximately .5 acre wetland enhancement area at the mouth of the ravine. 9. The vista overlook will provide additional visual access opportunities to the Boise Chica lowlands, while minimizing potential intrusions to wildlife habitat. 10. The location, site layout and design of Phase 1 A as revised properly adapts the proposed use to existing streets, driveways and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner by maintaining existing circulation patterns and preserving view opportunities for residents on the opposite side of Seapoint Avenue. 11. The proposed design for Phase 1A.as revised does not include any habitable structure and will not require any infrastructure improvement to serve development and operation of this phase of park development. • The motion carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Bauer, Moulton-Patterson, Winchell, Leipzig NOES: Silver, Robitaille, Sullivan ABSENT: None Deed Restrictions - Motion Died for Lack of Second A motion was made by Leipzig, seconded by Winchell, to direct staff to develop deed restrictions for the parcels to be dedicated to the county from the city in this Linear Park to incorporate the use of native vegetation exclusively in the landscaping.

Mr. Zelefsky: Submitted herewith is an application for a Coastal Development Permit for Phase IA Park Improvements for Bolsa Chica Regional Park. This park is a result of a process that originated in 1975 with the City's request that the County develop a regional park along the Huntington Mesa, connecting Central Park to Bolsa Chica State Beach. Per attached Agreement dated November 27, 1979, the City agreed among other things to: 1) participate in securing land for the park; 2) provide police and fire protection; 3) reimburse the County for utility hook-ups and 4) cooperate fully in the planning and implementation of the park. The County has agreed, among other things to: 1) prepare and obtain approval of a General Development Plan for park improvements; 2) construct, operate and maintain the park at its expense and 3) process construction documents through the County for plan check, building permit requirements and construction inspection. In preparing the General Development Plan, the County has worked closely with the City and the Citizens Advisory Committee. The General Development Plan was approved by the City Council in October 1992.- In order to-proceed with implementation of the General Development Plan, the County is preparing construction documents for Phase IA, a 15 acre section of the park. Of the 15 acres, 13 acres is in the. city's jurisdiction. A Coastal Development Permit is required from the City and (for the two acres in unincorporated territory) from the Coastal Commission. The 13 acres owned by the City are in the process of transfer to the County per the 1979 Agreement. The two acres are owned by Koll Real Estate Group. The County is obtaining an irrevocable offer of dedication and easements to construct park improvements in that area. ,"TrI.PNMENT NO. Z Construction of Phase IA is expected to commence in June 1994. We are very anxious to proceed` with this park project and hope this appplication will be well received and acted upon expeditiously. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 834-6666 or Project Manager Jenny Stets at 834-6777. Very trul yours, 1 t - Robert G.

These comments relate to the proposed parking lot near the intersection of Seapoint Avenue and Palm Avenue. 1. As designed, the entrance into this one-way parking area will require a new left turn pocket for northbound vehicles. That turn pocket shall be designed to prevent U-turns or exiting left turns from the entry driveway. 21 Th6 e ft d` away located the b inning of eft to "poc ing' , Av e i ' vehi es I h o ne otiat lanes o rou ff,c gain cc o t ' rn Do et.

This issue is eliminated if access is . developed as described in the preceding paragraph. We noticed the design for the Interpretive Center parking includes a bus parking bay that would discharge passengers into the driveway area, rather than onto a sidewalk area. There appear to be opportunities for passenger drop-off and pick-up by buses on that site that would provide a greater degree of safety for both passengers and vehicles circulating in the parking area.

Smith, Superintendent, Park, Tree & Landscape l; DATE: December 30, 1993 SUBJECT: PHASE 1A G.D.P. FOR THE BOLSA CHICA REGIONAL PARK We have reviewed the subject plans and have comments as follows: • Existing Gas Plant/Facilities as a feature in the Park The Development Agreement by and between the City of Huntington Beach and Pacific Coast Homes and Garfield Partners as recorded November 14, 1990, contains Developer Obligations, two of which directly influence the Gas Plant/Facility proposal, as found on page 11. of the Development Agreement, under- Developer Obligations 2.2 of Section 2. - Development of the Property, subsection 2.2.1 Linear Park (a) 6), the Shell gas plant must be removed no later than December 31, 1994. Also under this subsection, article (b) it states as follows: (b) The surface of all dedicated land shall be granted free and clear of any oil and gas related producing equipment owned or directly controlled by Developer or its affiliates. Oil and gas wells, underground pipelines and transmission lines no longer in use shall be abandoned in compliance with the State of California Division of Oil and Gas standards. All remaining functional pipelines shall be buried no less than 48" below present grade and shall be identified in easements. Any contaminated soils shall be cleaned, processed or disposed of in accordance with all local, county, state and federal laws, regulations and ordinances. In the event the cost for clean-up of the Property to be dedicated exceeds $20,000,000 in the aggregate, Developer may offer to dedicate, in lieu of further dedication identified in 2.2.1(a)1-7, comparable property within the Master Planned boundaries of Huntington Central Park. The value of comparable alternative property to be dedicated shall be based on the current value of low density residential acreage within the Property., A combination of comparable Central Park property and park improvement costs of equivalent value may be considered. In the event the City does not accept the alternative above, the Developer will be subject to the provisions of the City's Park Acquisition and Development Ordinance. It appears the above obligations would require an amendment to the Development Agreement in order that the G.D.P. proposal for the Park be implemented. Should the D.A. be amended to allow for this proposal we would not recommend that the entire building be saved. We believe the historic relevance of this facility is very significant to the entire area and specifically to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. The discovery, production, transmission and refining of oil, degraded the Bolsa Chica wetlands and now with the reclamation of the wetlands and development of the Park, it would be very educational to provide.elements in the park which tell the story of these milestones. However, we believe a few major pieces of equipment, aerial photos, enlarged photographs, maps displayed in kiosks along with other documents showing and describing the oil recovery and transmission from the offshore ocean oil islands, Bolsa Chica oil field and surrounding oil fields, related to the Gas Plant and oil operations of the area, would be far more acceptable and less intrusive to the area. The county proposal to provide this history as an educational element and as an art form is an excellent proposal. Please note that this particular overall zone and exposure is very harsh on plant materials. Trees and other plant material are susceptible to salt spray, sand blasting and prevailing winds. In addition to the difficult soil conditions and other adverse environmental impacts, these three hardships play havoc with most trees. This is why very few trees grow naturally in this area. With this in mind, the selection is truly limited. Platanus racemosa will be a constant/costly maintenance problem with natural diseases requiring spraying pesticides continuously, to no avail. Pinus coulteri is questionable and not recommended this close to the water as it normally only grows above 4,000 feet elevation. 63 Pinus torreyana should be held back from the leading edge of plantings to lessen the wind impact. Eucalyptus sideroxylon is too weak in windy conditions due to it's branching habits. Liquidamber do not tolerate the high sodium and chlorates generally found in these soils. Special soil preparation would be required. Pinus canariensis and Halepensis growth habits cause an abundance of needle drop and little will grow under them. Also they are plagued with Red Spider Mites requiring substantial pesticide spraying. Populus nigra 'ltalica' - Invasive, uplifting root system. Extremely long dormant period even in warmer Southern California zones - not a solid tree to use. Eucalyptus in general are very shallow rooters and cause intense amounts of litter to fall on surrounding landscapes. Very little if anything will grow under Eucalyptus and weak trees invite the Eucalyptus Longhorn Beetle which as yet has no predator. Almost all trees and shrubs will have limited growth on the Bolsa Chica exposure, causing a wind blown/lopsided growth appearance. Most native shrubs and ground covers if not commercially available (which varies greatly due to demand) should be contract grown. Ideally the materials should be gathered during the growing season which begins in late February. Slower growing items need 6 months to 1 year for 1 gallon size, 1 year to 18 months for 5 gallon size and 18 months to 30 months for 15 gallon sizes. With the idea of repeating some of what exists on site and in the area enough time should be allowed for contract growing to be realistic, which means advanced planning, an inventory of existing materials, seed and cuttings gathered, advance fees paid to the.contract growing nursery and an accurate, quantified list of types of materials with proposed container sizes to be the targeted goal for this process. i Based on the requirements of most all native plant material as well as other ornamentals including hydroseeding, liners, and other container grown material, it will be difficult to establish these without protection. We recommend that all plantings be protected from people for a minimum of 1 year with a temporary chain link fence around the total site. Native plants - i • especially, are tender and slower growing than other ornamentals and this area will probably receive a similar amount of abuse as did Blufftop landscape area where we lost 75% of all shrubs and ground covers. If not adequately protected natives will have little chance to establish. The City required chain link (rent-a-fence) around Huntington Central Park for one full year and this protection from the public use was the main reason for the abundance of growth of all ground covers, plants and trees. Selected view shed areas need to be protected. Materials should be located so as not to block views of the ocean, Catalina Island, sunsets, etc.. Most all the trees selected can block these views so the spacing between them is critical. Spacing should be based on the ultimate tree size when determining location and massing. This will allow more spaces between trees while they are growing and as they mature their structures can be lifted to allow for views under them. In other areas wide open expanses of low, maintainable ground cover shrubs and ground cover plantings should be used to maintain vistas. An additional concern we have, is the unstable bluff line slopes of this project area. The physical properties of the soil along the bluff, vary substantially, from clay type to sand/gravel, all of which will be a_ challenge to stabilize. The sand/gravel deposits specifically, should be graded so as not to provide areas where children can dig into the slope face and be caught in a cave in condition.

Precautionary grading procedures shall be established to avoid unnecessary removal of lines and facilities. S 79-81 Landform/Hydrology Drainage plans for the project shall be prepared by Harbors, Beaches and Parks in Continued consultation with the Manger, Development Services. All required drainage improvements shall conform with appropriate City of Huntington Beach and/or County of Orange standards. Prior to depositing fill material in the open drainage gully, a detailed drainage plan shall be prepared by harbors, Beachs and Parks which demonstrates improvements to the existing storm drain facility to accomodate'and convey flows to below the five-foot contour(above mean sea level). Confirmation of the adequacy of this drainage plan shall be based on consultation with and any applicable permitting requirements of the California Department of Fish and Game and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Prior to approval of grading plans,preliminary testing submitted by Harbors,Beaches and Parks for groundwater levels within each phase along the contours of the bluff shall be conducted to quantify the presence of groundwater at grading locations. Project-related grading activities shall be monitored and if necessary prohibited uring the nesting season(i.e.,early spring and early summer)to eliminate any potential impacts to the nearby wildlife habitat. Prior to initiation of grading, Harbors; Beaches, Parks shall prepare appropriate stormwater pollution control plans related to the site's structural and non-structural Best Management Practices for compliance with the 1990 National Pollution'Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Regulations. The project shall incorporate urban Best Management Practices((BMPs)to minimize construction an urban pollutants in storm water runoff. These measures may include but are not limited to the following. 79-81 Landform/Hydrology A. Construction BMPs Continued 1. Sediment Traps- Sandbags shall be plaed at all locaitons where excavated soils may be eroded and carried to storm drain inlets by the runoff. Sandbag sediment traps shall also be placed at storm drain inlets to trap low flow suspended sediments. 2. Litter Control-Adequate dumpsters and litter removal programs shall be provided to control litter generated during construction. Litter includes but is not limited to fuels,oil, masonry, and other construction wastes. 3. Worker Training -Construction superintendents shall supervise all construction • activities to reduce storm water runoff pollutants using the techniques described above. B. Structural BMPs The following BMPs will be incorporated into a formal BMP plan prior to initiation of grading. 1. Water Quality Inlets- Water quality inlets as currently designed appear to have low to moderate removal rates for particulate pollutants and low to zero rates for soluble pollutants. However,they show some effectiveness in removing oil, gas, and grease. These inlets or other BMPs are shown to have equal or greater effectiveness will be designed for the parking area downdrains. 2. Oil and Grease Traps-A wid earray of hydrocarbon compounds are containe in oil and • grease,and exportds of this material are highest in the runoff from parking lots and roads. Oil/water separators are somewhat effective in reducing low-flow oil contaminants resulting from high frequency storms. Oil/grease/grit traps,oil/water separators or other BMPs shown to have equal or greater effectiveness will be build at all new inlets. 79-81 Landform/Hydrology C. Post-Construction and Non-Construction BMPs Continued 1) Routine storm drain cleaning 2) Routine cleaning of oil/water.separators 3) Routine cleaning of oil/grease traps 4) Regular sweeping of parking lots and streets 93 Cultural/Paleontology Prior to approval of the grading plan, a test-level investigation of all noted sites,with the exception o CA-Ora-290, which has totally been destroyed, shall be conducted by an • archaeologist who meets the qualifications of the County of Orange approved list of archaeological consultants. The investigation shall include subsurface testing of deposits through auger holes and test pits to determine vertical depth,horizontal distribution, and internal complexity of the cultural deposit. Subsurface investigations shall comply with appropriate local, state and federal guidelines for Native American involvement and be acceptable to the Manager, Harbors, Beaches,Parks/Program Planning Division. Based on the results of the test-level investigation, a comprehensive archaeological resource management program acceptable to the Director, Harbors,Beaches and Parks . shall be submitted by an archaeologist who meets the qualifications of the County of Orange approved list of archaeological subconsultants which shall include such requirements as further analysis of sites,resource recovery or in situ preservation. Measures to protect resources in areas proposed as open space will also be included. The • program shall be implemented according to a schedule which conforms to the proposed phasing of development. Additional recommendations may be made upon completion of test-level investigation or at the professional discretion of the consulting archaeologist conducting the test-level work. 93 Cultural/Paleontology If fossil vertebrates are observed during any future earthmoving activities,the Director, Continued Harbors, Beaches and Parks shall be notified and the site shall be inspected by a qualified vertebrate paleontologist to determine their significance. If the vertebrate remains are deemed important, then increased monitoring and collecting time is warranted. D 99-100 Biology Prior to issuance of grading permits,the Harbors, Beaches, Parks/design Division shall prepare detailed grading plans for the filling of the erosional drainage gully in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to determine any permit requirements of the project. Should portions of the drainage gully require filling in conjunction with development of the park,provisions shall be designed by Harbors,Beaches and Parks for maintaining the current flow,via underground pipe, and should be included in the site plan and additional wetland habitat shall be established at the base of the gully to mitigate any habitat loss.

(PSCR007) Edmund J. & Jennie L. Sakowicz 19305 Champion Lane Huntington Beach, California 92648 (714) 960-0809 February 2, 1994 Planning Commission City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street - Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Dear Members of the Planning Commission, We watched your February 1, 1994 meeting with interest and wish to express our views regarding the Regional Park. As you see from our address, we are residents of SeaCliff on the Greens and have a deep concern in this project. Of the points brought up in this meeting, the following are our comments: 1. Seapoint Avenue continuing to Pacific Coast Highway: " We welcome the completion of that project. It is apparent that Palm Avenue should not be the only exit artery for the homes now under construction adjacent to the SeaCliff on the Greens community. However, we have serious concerns regarding traffic on Seapoint Avenue. It has become a speedway and the boulevard stop sign located at the junction of Seapoint and Palm is virtually ignored by nine of ten motorists. They either barrel right around the corner without stopping, or slow down to half speed and proceed. The most flagrant violators are the construction people working in the adjacent housing project. 2. The Proposed Parking Lot close to the juncture of.Seapoint And Palm: Move it to the area opposite the Cherryhill entrance into SeaCliff on the Greens. The residents deserve the view that they paid for. 3. The Gully. Fill it in. It is an eyesore and lends nothing to the aesthetics of the project. Even a fence around it would eventually fall into the abyss with each succeeding rainstorm. It is a product of the golf course runoff and will never be anything other than just that. And, have you ever seen a fence that little kids can't go under, or climb over*? ATTACHMENT 'P0. .. v .. 7 4. Vegetation and Foliage: Determine first if this is to be a park or a wildlife refuge. If a park, plant it as a park, using good sense in the inclusion of plants and shrubs. Trees should not be a norm, since they would compromise the views of the adjoining community. However, the project should lend itself to the area by proper maintenance. If this is determined to be a wildlife refuge, save the taxpayers a bundle of money and leave it as is, only with inclusion of pathways and trails. In our observation of the native plants common to this type of environment, there is nothing aesthetic about the plant life that now exists. Most of it might be green during the few Springtime months and DEAD during the rest of the year. Let's be practical. These are our views and are offered only as we would have presented them had we had been present. We appreciate the work you are doing on the Commission and offer our best wishes. Sometimes it can be a thankless job, still one that must be carried out. Very truly yours, ` Edmund J. Sa owicz ; Jennie L. Sakowicz 7� FROM:EMA-H.B.D.

Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Re: Iiolsa Chiea Regional Park Dear Ms. DetUo - I atn writing this letter to advise you of the facts, which in my opinion Nvere. misrepresented at the Planning Commission meeting of Febniary 1, 1994. 1 am requesting this letter be made a part of the Public Record at the March 1st Commission meeting relative; to the referenced matter. The County has conducted a series of public input sessions concerning park design during the last several years. 1 attempted to get our homeowner association (Seacliff Club Series) active in this process but was told by Al De Loran, based on legal counsel, the :association should not take a stand but nearly pass information, I agreed to monitor the meetings, since my condo faces the park. I have prepared and delivered .1 flyers concerning the park, the extension of Seapointe and Surfcrest North to the neighbor condo owners (at my expense). I retained two law firms to facilitate and counsel with our group during viect.ings at my house concerning the extension of Seapointe and the Surfcl-est North development, again at my expense. Unfortunately, the Club Series Association Board was unable to attend this meeting. The County has continued to work with all homeowners by holding nieetings at my )ionic and their offices. These meetings addressed plant jimt.ci ial, location of trees, lighting, etc. The Club Series Association (_'bairman was advised of these meetings on his answering machine, but did not receive the message until after our meeting. I want to make several added points. The first is the. County Staff, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Thomas, Ms. Stets and Mr. Turner have gone to great length addressing our concerns and helped us all, County, City and individual humcuwners (each with different thoughts on the various elements) to achieve a compromise we can all live with. My second point is this park design has been a collaborative process conducted over the last three years that I have been Involved. Many ieetings have been conductelb W I U co LU r mui 1•L.f. ...1J.lJ. LAV L.�.I UM prior to my involvement. During the last three years mailings were sent to affected and interested parties by the County and City. We inust all remember that in the collaborative process there are no clear xvinncrs, but there are also no clear losers. I am proud to have worked with those professionals on the County staff and can assure you they have more than.done their job, 1 encourage you to move forward as cart.iculatcd by Councilman Victor Lipzig at the Commissions February 1st meeting.

The proposed design plan for Phase IA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park does not properly integrate the proposed park uses in a manner sensitive to the surrounding residential properties. 6. The proposed design plan for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park is consistent with the General Development Plan and Environmental Impact Report approved in concept by the City of Huntington Beach City Council and includes a 40-space parking lot to serve Phase I that will not adequately accommodate parking needs for this phase of park development. (pcsrO 19) 7� February 25 , 1994 K� tl 1•la �. , Mayor and City Council Fed 2 8 1994 City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council , I am writing regarding the linear park proposed along the wetlands and Seapoint Avenue. My residence borders Seapoint and overlooks the site. Last night, representatives from the County explained the plan to residents of the SeaCliff community. Generally, I approve of the plan, but there are two issues that I ask you to carefully consider before your approval : the location of parking lots, and the turf grass proposed for most of the area. Residents along Seapoint paid a premium for their homesites . A parking lot would not only affect our view and property value , but also is incompatible with habitat for wildlife. A parking lot will provide a nuisance to our neighborhood - an eyesore full of asphalt , light standards, parking meters and berms; and a policing problem. Since a parking lot is planned for the interpretive center, all parking should be concentrated at that location, thereby reducing negative impacts on the balance of the site and away from residents. Turf grass and an irrigation system will change the character of the site, make it uninviting for wildlife, and present a costly maintenance problem. The park site is unique . Don't try to make it look like other parks in the County. The park can be enjoyed by humans from trails , and wildlife can still live in the natural grasses without being harassed by lawnmowers or killed by fertilizers. Thank you for your consideration of these comments . Paul E.

The question was raised in Planning Commission discussion regarding whether approval of Phase IA would have any negative impact on the eventual implementation of the planned equestrian trail. There was an implication in pan of the discussion'that approval of Phase IA could cloud the future of the equestrian trail Since this is a-matter of considerable concern to the equestrian community,we have talked with members of your staff to clarify the situation. In discussions with Denny Turner and Jenny Stets, I have been advised that Phase IA simply excludes the territory in which the equestrian trail would eventually be located It is my understanding that nothing involved in Phase lA would affect the equestrian trail implementation adopted in the General Dcvelopm r t Plan for this park. Corral 100 of Equestrian Trails,Inc.,would like this understanding to be a part of the record in taking action on Phase 1A.. For that reason,this letter is being copied to the Huntington Bead Planning Commission so it can be brought to their attention at their continued hearing on Much 1, 1994. 1 would appreciate it if you would affirm the understanding described above at the March 1 hearing. Thank you for the continued support by you and your staff in implementing this important recreational resource. Sincerely yours, Mary Bell Trail Coordinator,EZT,Inc. Uuann W. Murray, Ph.D. 17461 Skyline Lane Huntington Beach, CA 92647 (714) 848-5394 2/1/94 Huntington Beach Planning Commission 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA re: Problems with and Recommendations for the Linear Park Plan Dear Commissioners: I am a member of the Society of Wetland Scientists and Society for Ecological Restoration, and the Research Director of the Bolsa Chica Conservancy. I have worked on several wetlands restoration projects, published wetlands research, and attended many scientific wetlands Conferences. The proposed fill of the gully area is not a wetlands creation project;it is a restoration and enhancement project in some versions and a wetlands destruction project in other versions. Freshwater wetland habitat already exists on site and consists of a riparian corridor plus a freshwater marsh which grades into a contiguous brackish marsh. This project proposes to fill the upper portion of the riparian corridor and enhance the lower part of the corridor. The extent of fill and the manner in which the project is done . are my chief concerns. Freshwater marsh and riparian corridors are rare in southern California and the Linear Park project provides a good opportunity to e.xpand these valuable habitats. Overall, this seems to be a good project, but there are some problems with the plan, all correctable. I have attached a list of recommendations. Sincerely, /I� vv L - Louann W. Murray, Ph.D. toe 2 Problems: 1. Acreage for enhancement project cited in document language does not agree with areas shown on map. Is area to be filled only 0.25 acres? Is area to be enhanced really 2 acres? On the map, the area that is to be filled is nearly equal to the area to be enhanced. What will really happen? 2. Salt water habitat restorations are far simpler and more successful than freshwater restorations. Published studies show that 95% of freshwater restorations fail due to inattention to hydrology and poor monitoring. Either the plantings die or they are overgrown with undesirable plants. 3. The proposed plant pallet contains too many inappropriate non-native plants. Iceplant and pampas grass are invasive non-native plants that Fish and Game and the Bolsa Chica Conservancy have spent the past 4 years trying to remove from the.wetlands. 4. Proposed areas of native plantings.are too limited. . 5. The trees proposed for the park will eliminate views and provide perches for raptors. Raptors will prey on the least terns on the nearby South Tern Island. Recommendations: FOR THE GULLY 1. Extend outfall pipe no farther than 130 feet. 2. Fill only the upper part of the gully where the extended outfall pipe will lie (130 feet of linear fill, not 290 feet as shown on 11/30/93 map). 3. Smooth the contours of the remainder of the gully but do not fill the lower part of the gully. This will enhance the beauty of the site and provide increased safety. 4. Determine accurately the area which is to be enhanced. It should extend from the relocated outfall (which will be only 130 feet farther than its present location) to the fence which. bounds the current fresh water marsh.at the bottom of the gully. It is unlikely that this riparian area will be greater than 1.3 acres due to the low amount of water that flows.down the ravine. 5. Plant transition native plants between riparian area and remainder_of park to act as a buffer. Total restored/enhanced area in Phase 1A should encompass a minimum of 2 acres. 6. Use only native plants in the riparian restoration/enhancement project. 0 • 3 7. Provide supplemental watering for five years until plantings in enhanced area are well established. Decrease then discontinue supplemental watering over the five year period. 8. Establish a five year monitoring program to assess growth and health of the plantings. Monitor the area monthly for the first year, quarterly for the next two years, and biannually for the final two years. Take corrective action if plants are unhealthy or if undesirable plants are growing. Both the riparian restoration project and the native plantings will need to be monitored, watered, and hand-weeded until they are established. This is crucial to the success of the project. 9. Fence the restored project area (riparian habitat plus native plant buffer zone) to protect plantings, protect wildlife, and provide public safety. Also fence off native plant areas until they are established. FOR THE PHASE 1A PROJECT 10. Avoid construction during nesting season (April - August). Avocets (about 30 pairs), black-necked stilts (about 50 pairs), red-winged blackbirds, and other birds nest in the marsh at the end of the gully. California Least terns nest nearby on South Tern Island. (Check with Fish and Game to see if they would be impacted.) 11. Use local stock for replanting whenever possible. (Collect seeds from whatever native plants can be found on either the Huntington Mesa, Bolsa Chica mesa, or Newport Back Bay; either box the willow trees which are presently on the site or establish cuttings from these trees before they are removed.) 12. Eliminate iceplant and pampas grass and other invasive non-natives from the plant palette. Use only native trees and shrubs throughout entire. Linear Park, limiting use of non-natives to ground covers. 13. Use a mixture of at least 30% native plantings and 70% non-native plantings throughout Phase IA. All trees and shrubs should be native. Other phases should have a higher ratio of native to non-native plantings. Confine non-native plantings to areas of intense public use (picnic areas, pathways). Even these areas can be interplanted with attractive natives such as lemonade berry, toyon, deerweed, mallow, wooly blue curls, coreopsis, yarrow, poppy, blue-eyed grass, lupine, penstemon, etc. Deerweed and horehound are natives presently growing in the linear park but not listed by the county. What other natives have they overlooked? Use only native plantings on slopes and areas adjacent to lowlands (later phase). Finished project should resemble the natural vegetation on the uplands at Newport Back Bay and Batiquitos Lagoon rather than the grassy lawn and trees at Mile Square Park. This is the coast of southern California, not the midwest! 14. Confine tree plantings to limited areas. Plant trees only around areas of heavy public use such as picnic areas, interpretive center, and roadway, and in the riparian corridor. Consult Fish and Game about tall trees and raptor problems. This 4 park may not be an appropriate area for trees except along the restored riparian corridor. 15. Establish burrowing owl habitat on slopes in Phase 1A to provide a space for the owls now living in the area that is scheduled to be developed in Phase 2 (near helipad). New plantings should be well established before disrupting owl habitat. 0 B. PUBLIC HEARING B-1 COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO, 93-28/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-2 (CONTINUED FROM THE FEBRUARY 15. 1994 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING): APPLICANT: Orange County Environmental Management Agency (Harbors, Beaches and Parks Division) LOCATION: 5801 Seapoint Avenue (west side of Seapoint Avenue between Palm and Garfield). Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 were continued at the February 15, 1994 meeting to allow the Orange County Harbors, Beaches and Parks additional time to look into issues and suggestions brought up at the February 1, 1994, Public Hearing. Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 in conjunction with Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 represent a request by the County of Orange to review and approve the general design plans for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. Phase 1 A consists of development of a forty (40) space parking lot, two park entry points with signage, a vista overlook with interpretive signage, bicycle/pedestrian trails, two picnic areas, security lighting,perimeter fencing and signage, installation of ornamental and native plant materials and irrigation. Phase I also includes creation of a wetland enhancement area located beyond the City' s boundary within the County's jurisdiction. Because this area is outside the City's jurisdiction,the County will be applying directly to the California Coastal Commission to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for this area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the request because it is consistent with the General Development Plan and Environmental Impact Report that were conceptually approved by the Huntington Beach City Council in October of 1992 and Orange County Board of Supervisors in November 1992 and conforms with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the City's Local Coastal Program Staff from the Orange County Department of Harbours, Beaches and Parks gave a presentation to the Commission. The Commission discussed with County and City staff the suggested alternative location for the parking lot. They considered the negative and positive of each location, and asked that the public speakers declare which location is satisfactory to them during the public hearing. 1�I (p`� r y e . 1 i.., ►�1 A. PC Minutes-3/1/94 3 (p=002) THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Buck Marrs, 19265 Archfield Circle, adjacent resident stated that he was opposed to the alternative parking lot locations No. 1, 2 and 3. He stated that he preferred parking lot alternative No. 5. He also stated that he would prefer the park to remain at least 90% natural. Jan D. Vandersloot, 8101 Newman, Suite C,Bolsa Chica Land Trust, spoke in support of retaining the gully, and use of all natural vegetation. Leigh Esposito, 6141 Morningside Drive, Seacliff Estates, read into the record a letter. from her father. Mr. Esposito stated his opposition to the interpretive center, and stated that the park should remain 100%passive. Jacqueline Geier-Lahti, 17192 Lynn, stated her concern regarding the presence of Native American artifacts that may be present on the bluff. She was concerned that the EIR had not addressed what would become of said artifacts, if found. Greg Herder, 6461 Oakcrest Circle, stated he wanted to the park to retain its natural vegetation. He also stated that alternative parking locations No. 3 and 4 were acceptable, but parking along Seapointe Avenue would be the best. Marcia Hanscom, 19276 Torrey Pines Circle, concerned with archeological issues and the possibility of destroying more wetlands. Mike Jones, 19267 Archfield, stated he would prefer to see parking on Seapoint Avenue, with one side red curbed. Jean Kimbrell, 17192 Englewood, spoke in support of the request. Terry Dolton, 17892 Shoreham Lane, Citizen Advisory Committee, spoke in support of the request, stating it would be an excellent resource for public. Chuck Scheid, 8062 Ebbtide, stated his preference of parking lot location alternative No. 3, and allowing the gully to remain unfilled. Chuck Nelson, 16321 Magellan Lane, Amigos de Bolsa Chica, stated his support for the request and encouraged the Commission to move forward with the project. Dr. Louann W. Murray, 17461 Skyline Lane, spoke in support of the request, preferring parking lot location alternative No. 2, and urged the retention of natural vegetation. Eileen Murphy, 201-21st Street, spoke in support of parking lot location alternative No. 3. PC Minutes- 3/1/94 4 (p=002) �I'� Donald Guillaume, 19243 Meadowood Circle, stated his preference for parking on Seapointe Avenue, with one side red curbed. He also stated he wished to see the gully remain unfilled. John McRee, 19269 Archfield Circle, stated his preference for parking on Seapointe Avenue. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Conunissioner Cook expressed the following concerns. She stated her opposition to the City giving the County this land, citing that once the land is controlled by the County . they will have a freehand in the development. She was also concerned with the use of parking meters because of the negative visual impact. Commissioner Cook stated her support of having the park completely passive and using natural plant materials. Commissioner Biddle stated his concurrence with Commissioner Cook, stating his preference to continue action until all issues could be resolved. Commission Dettloff, expressed her support for the request. She stated her preference to approve the project, and include in the Commission's recommendation to City Council any outstanding concerns of the Commission and the public. A MOTION WAS MADE BY BIDDLE, SECOND BY COOK,TO TABLE THE REQUEST UNTIL ALL ISSUES WERE RESOLVED. MOTION WITHDRAWN. A MOTION WAS MADE BY BIDDLE, SECOND BY NEWMAN, TO DENY COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-28 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-3 WITH FINDINGS,BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Cook,Inglee,Newman,Biddle NOES: Dettloff, Richardson ABSENT: Gorman ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED Q� PC Minutes-3/1/94 5 (p=002) V FINDINGS FOR DENIAL- COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT-NO 93-28• 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 for the proposed design plan for Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park does not conform with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the City's Local Coastal Program. It is difficult to determine compatibility of the Regional Park with the Bolsa Chica wetlands when the land uses and wetland restoration project boundaries for Bolsa Chica have not been approved. The Bolsa Chica Regional Park Plan with delineated trail locations, parking lot, and plant materials may conflict with the ultimate restoration plan for Bolsa Chica. 2. The location, site layout, and design of Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park may not properly adapt the proposed use to existing streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner by maintaining existing circulation pattern and preserving view opportunities for residents on the opposite side of Seapoint Avenue. FINDINGS FOR DENIAL- CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-3: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 for the development of the Phase IA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park is part of the larger Bolsa Chica project currently being processed by the County of Orange. Processing of the design plans for Phase 1A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park constitutes a segmentation of the processing of the -larger Bolsa Chica project. 2. Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 for the development of Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park is premature and needs to be addressed in conjunction with development plans for the entire Bolsa Chica area. 3. Conditional Use Permit no. 94-3 for the proposed design plan for Phase IA of the Bolsa Chica Regional park does not properly integrate the proposed park uses in a mariner sensitive to the surrounding residential properties. The proposed park includes "active" use areas which duplicate facilities provided at nearby Central Park and are not compatible with adjacent residential uses. Park uses should be passive in nature. PC Minutes-3/1/94 6 (pcm002) D L)RAFT 3. Due to the fact that there are no unusual site or building characteristics applicant to the site, approval of the 45 foot high, 624 square foot pole sign, and 140 square foot sign face change would be a grant of special privilege not enjoyed by surrounding properties. The existing 45 foot high freestanding sign was required to be removed or altered to comply with the City's sign code by January 29, 1988. The sign, in its present state, constitutes excessive signage, and is an aesthetic impact to the commercial center and to surrounding properties. B-3 COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO 93-28/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO 94-2 (CONTINUED FROM THE JANUARY 19 1994 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING): APPLICANT: Orange County Environmental Management Agency (Harbors, Beaches and Parks Division) LOCATION: 5801 Seapoint Avenue(west side of Seapoint Avenue between Palm and Garfield). Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 was continued at the January 19, 1994 meeting to allow for advertising of a Conditional Use Permit in conjunction with the Coastal Development Permit application. Coastal Development.Permit No. 93-28 and Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 are a request by the County of Orange to review and approve the general design plans for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. Phase I consists of development of a forty (40) space parking lot, two park entry points with , signage, a vista overlook with interpretive signage,bicycle/pedestrian trails, two picnic areas, security lighting,perimeter fencing and signage, installation of ornamental and native plant materials and irrigation. Phase I also includes creation of a wetland enhancement area located beyond the City' s boundary within the County's jurisdiction.

D., Bolsa Chica Land Trust representatives, spoke in support of treating the Linear Park and Bolsa Chica is one ecosystem, a bridge over ravine could be, more economical than grading and filling, deletion of turf grass from the plan, a wooden rail around bluff for safety purposes, deed restrictions to keep plan for park the same, need for a new Environmenal Impact Report, Measure "C" Charter Amendment jurisdiction possibility, and and in opposition to the extension of the pipe and filling of ravine. Mr. Vandersloot distributed photographs of the park to Council. Tom Livengood and Chuck Nelson, Amigos de Bolsa Chica representatives, spoke in support of Resolution No. 6592, an environmental evaluation of the ravine prior to filling, maintain as a natural park, minimum of land contours, limit negative impact on surrounding residents, and that the county will be operating and maintaining the park. Barbara Marrs, Seacliff resident, thanked Bob Anderson for meeting with the Council Committee and citizens. She spoke in support of preservation of the area as part of the Bolsa Chica, leaving a legacy to future generations, protecting the unique ecosystem, placing deed restrictions on the property upon transfer to the county in order that not one part of the park will be covered with asphalt.

The Amigos are very pleased that the County has decided to provide for indigenous native treatment of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. This feature of the park is one that the Amigos have asked the County to consider for many years. We are glad that the City was able to persuade the County to adopt this treatment. The Amigos also support the trails component of the park. We believe this greatly enhances the value of the park as a community resource, as bikers, hikers and equestrians will all benefit from the park. The proposed interpretive center will provide a--wonderful opportunity for visitors to learn about the value of wetlands, and the historical. role the Bolsa Chica area has played in the development of the community of Huntington Beach. Although some wetlands will be moved, due to safety concerns about the arroyo, we believe the plans as advanced by the County will result in an improved bio-diversity of wetlands within the park, while addressing the safety issues the county must legally confront. We believe the wetlands "relocation" planned is a very positive feature of the plan, and applaud Bob Fisher's efforts to include this component within the park plan. - 1 - i A great deal of community effort and time have been invested in the park over the past decade. All too much time has passed without a Regional Park. Through the efforts of the City Council, along with members of city staff, the Amigos, and others, we have arrived at a compromise that will finally provide the community with the Regional Park it's been deprived of for so many years. Members of the community who use this park in the near future will reflect on the value of the park, and then appreciate those who made the enlightened decision to move the park forward for the benefit of the whole population. We urge your support for item D-2.

[XI Yes [ ] New Policy or Exceptionsy;2_ �l2 Statement of Issue,Recommendation,Analysis,Funding Source,Alternative Actions,Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE: ,�, ,� � � � . At the Apri14, 94, meeting Co ricil continued action appeal of Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 for the General Development Plans for Phase IA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park and established a sub-committee to look into the unresolved issues associated with the Phase lA plans. The sub-committee convened on April 8, 1994, to discuss concerns involving three issues: (1) Fill of the drainage ravine, (2) The mix of native versus non-native plant materials; and(3) The location of Phase IA parking. Based upon input received at the previous Planning Commission hearings and the April 8, 1994, subcommittee meeting, the County and Council subcommittee members propose a revised Phase - lA general development plan which(1) Restricts fill of the drainage ravine to a maximum of 190 feet, (2) Provides for greater amount of native vegetation, and(3)Includes temporary on-street parking along Seapoint Avenue until adequate permanent parking facilities can be provided on the Phase 1 B area. RECOMMENDATION: Planning Commission Recommendation: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION ON MARCH 1„ 1994: THE MOTION MADE BY BIDDLE, SECONDED BY COOK, TO DENY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-3 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.93-28 WITH FINDINGS CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: COOK,NEWMAN, INGLEE, BIDDLE NOES: RICHARDSON, DETTLOFF ABSTAIN: NONE ABSENT: GORMAN MOTION PASSED Council Subcommittee and Staff Recommendation: Motion to: "A. Adopt Resolution No. (see Attachment No. 1) reaffirming the City's support for the Bolsa Chica Regional Park(including an Interpretive Center, adequate parking, and trails) and approve Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 for the general design plans, with recommended revisions, with findings and suggested conditions of approval" (see Attachment No. 2). B. Amend Resolution No. 6434, conceptually approving the Bolsa Chica Regional Park General Development Plan, to reflect the Phase 1A design plans as revised." ANALYSIS: On April 8, 1994,the Bolsa Chica Regional Park Council sub-committee, consisting of Mayor Moulton-Patterson, and Councilmen Bauer and Leipzig met with interested parties including but not limited to representatives of homeowners at the Seacliff Estates and Seacliff Club Series, the County of Orange, the Amigos de Bolsa Chica, the Bolsa Chica Land Trust and Huntington Beach Tomorrow. Interested parties participated in an around-the-table discussion in which they expressed their concerns and suggestions regarding: (1)Fill of the drainage ravine, (2) The mix of native versus non-native plant materials, and (3) The location of Phase I parking. The sub- committee meeting was formatted to receive comments on the various issues; however, since all representatives of all parties involved in previous park planning activities were not present, the sub-committee did not take any formal action or formulate any recommendation at the April 8 meeting. Although parties consistently agreed that the park is a beneficial facility to the community and County, input received at the sub-committee meeting and previous Planning Commission public hearings, appeared to suggest a shift in the objectives of the park from those upon which the park was originally conceived. Comments reflected a strong interest in creation of a "nature" park versus maintaining a balance between passive park uses and natural areas as was originally pursued. As such, the Council sub-committee and the County re-worked the Phase IA plans to address this shift in objectives and have proposed the following revisions to the Phase IA general development plans: 1. Extension of the drainage pipe and filling of the drainage ravine will be restricted to a maximum of 190 feet from the existing headwall; however, the County will look into reducing the pipe extension and fill, if safety and circulation(i.e.,provision of separated trails) goals can still be maintained. RCA 5/2/94 2 «a 2. The County will re-work the composition of plant materials to replace turf and non-native vegetation areas in Phase I with native plant species. 3. Parking will be provided on-street along Seapoint Avenue, on a temporary basis, until adequate permanent parking can be constructed on the Phase 1 B property (possibly in the vicinity of the Interpretive Center parking lot). The County will work with the existing gas plant operator to grade for a parking facility during clean-up activities to facilitate provision of parking on the Phase 1 B area. Staff concurs that the focus of the park has changed since originally conceived and supports the proposed revisions generated by the County of Orange in a cooperative effort with the Council subcommittee. Staff recommends approval the Phase 1 A plans as amended. The General Development Plan did not specify a degree of fill; therefore the proposed revision does not require an amendment to the plan. However, if approved, revisions 2 and 3 will require amendment of the General Development Plan. Should Council select to approve the Council subcommittee and staff recommendation, the Council should also amend Resolution No. 6434, which conceptually approved the General Development Plan, to reflect the revised Phase 1A plans. FUNDING SOURCE: Phase 1A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park will be constructed, maintained, operated and funded by the County of Orange pursuant to the 1979 agreement with the City of Huntington Beach and County of Orange. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The City Council may make one of the following motions: A. "Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 for Phase 1A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park, as originally proposed, with recommended findings and conditions of approval." B. "Uphold the Planning Commission's action by denying Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 with findings." ATTACHMENTS: 1.

The proposed design plan for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park as revised is consistent with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the City's Local Coastal Program; 2. The proposed design plan for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park as revised is consistent with the CZ suffix,the base zoning district or specific plan as well as other provisions of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code applicable to the property; 3. The proposed design plan for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park does not include any habitable structure and will not require any infrastructure improvement to serve development and operation of this phase. In addition all irrigation, parking, security lighting and public facilities (drinking fountains, etc.)necessary to operate the park will be installed prior to opening of Phase I of the park. 4. The proposed design plan for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act; 5. The location, site layout, and design of Phase 1A.of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park as revised properly adapts the proposed use to existing streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner by maintaining existing circulation pattern and preserving view opportunities for residents on the opposite side of Seapoint Avenue. 6. The proposed design plan for Phase IA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park as revised properly integrates the proposed park uses in a manner sensitive to the surrounding residential properties. 7. The proposed design plan for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park includes temporary on-street parking lot to serve Phase 1 A that will adequately accommodate parking needs for this phase of park development until permanent parking can be constructed on the Phase I portion of the site. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 93-28 1.

RCA 5/2/94 5 Tea, 2. The combination and relationship of one proposed use to another on site are properly integrated. 3. Some filling of the drainage gully is necessary to eliminate potential safety hazards to park users and to provide adequate trail separation and will be mitigated by the creation of an approximately 2 acre wetland enhancement area. 4. The vista overlook will provide additional visual access opportunities to the Bolsa Chica while minimizing potential intrusions to wildlife activities. 5. The pedestrian and bicycle trail system will provide additional access opportunities in the vicinity of the Bolsa Chica. Perimeter fencing will discourage human access into environmentally sensitive areas to minimize disturbances to wildlife.

The Planning Commission denied the development plans at their March 1, 1994, meeting. In the interest of progressing toward development of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park, as approved by the Huntington Beach City Council and County Board of Supervisors, Councilman Bauer has appealed the Commission's decision. RECOMMENDATION: Planning Commission Recommendation: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION ON MARCH 1. 1994: THE MOTION MADE BY BIDDLE, SECONDED BY COOK, TO DENY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.'94-3 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-28 WITH FINDINGS CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: COOK,NEWMAN, INGLEE, BIDDLE NOES: RICHARDSON, DETTLOFF ABSTAIN: NONE ABSENT: GORMAN Al-I'ACH�fEN�' NO. MOTION PASSED f� • • Staff Recommendation: Motion to: "Overturn the Planning Commission's action and approve Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 with findings and suggested conditions of approval" (see Attachment No. 5). ANALYSIS: Project Description Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 are a request by the County of Orange to review and approve the general design plans for the 13 acres of Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park that are located within the City of Huntington Beach and within the Coastal Zone. Phase I consists of development of a forty(40) space parking lot, two park entry points with signage,a vista overlook with interpretive signage,bicycle/pedestrian trails,two picnic areas, security lighting,perimeter fencing and signage, installation of ornamental and native plant materials and irrigation. (For an in depth description of Phase 1 A components, please refer to Attachment No. 3,Planning Commission Staff Report, pages 14 through 16). Phase I also includes creation of a wetland expansion area located beyond the City' s boundary within the County's jurisdiction. Because this area is outside the City's jurisdiction,the County will be applying directly to the California Coastal Commission to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for this area. Phase I consists of the first of two increments for Phase 1 of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. Other facilities identified in Phase 1 on the GDP, such as the Interpretive Center,restroom facilities and play area, are proposed for construction of Phase 1 B. The timing of development of Phase 1 B is uncertain at this point since development will be pursued based upon the availability of funding. However, Phase I is also located within the Coastal Zone, any subsequent development plans for phase 1B or other phases located within the City will require an additional review and approval by the City of Huntington Beach. Background In October of 1992,the Huntington Beach City Council adopted Resolution No. 6434, conceptually approving the General Development Plan(GDP) and Environmental Impact Report (EIR#521)for the Bolsa Chica Regional Park and recommending adoption of the documents by the County Board of Supervisors. (Please refer to Attachment No. 7). Council also adopted Resolution No. 6435, deferring Coastal Development Permit processing authority for the Bolsa Chica Regional Park to the Coastal Commission for development plans that were consistent with the GDP.,Council adopted the resolution in an effort to prevent duplication of review and to facilitate park development. (Please refer to Attachment No. 8). Although this action was later determined to be inconsistent with the intent of section C of the Coastal Act Post Certification Manual on which it was based due to a change in interpretation of section, Council's willingness RCA 4/4/94 2 rcaappel • to defer its coastal development permit processing authority to the Coastal Commission reflects its confidence in the original GDP. On February 1, 1994, Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No.93- 28 were brought before the Planning Commission for review and approval. The Commission was requested to review the General Design Plans for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park for consistency with the General Development Plan (GDP). At the hearing, the public raised several issues regarding options for filling of the drainage gully,the distribution and type of plant materials proposed for the park, and the location for the Phase 1 A parking lot. The Planning Commission continued action on the project to allow the County time to look into the issues presented at the February 1, 1994, public hearing. After meeting with representatives of the surrounding homeowners' associations, and environmental professionals,the County returned to the Planning Commission on March 1, 1994,to present several alternatives for the Planning Commission's consideration. The alternatives addressed various options for the filling of drainage ravine and the location of the parking lots. A summary of each alternative has been provided below. Exhibits showing the drainage ravine alternatives and the general location of each parking lot location will be provided at the April 4, 1994, Council meeting. Drainage Ravine Alternative 17Consists of extension of head wall and drainage pipe approximately 220 feet toward the Bolsa Chica lowland and creation of an approximately 0.5 acre wetland expansion area. This alternative is the one originally proposed in Phase I and will involve softening of the ravine slopes, north of the head wall, to control erosion and sedimentation, and fill of approximately 220 feet of the drainage ravine to provide sufficient usable park width for separate equestrian,pedestrian and bicycle paths. Alternative 2-Proposes a reduction in the head wall/drainage pipe extension to approximately 190 feet toward the Bolsa Chica lowland and also includes the creation of an approximately 0.5 acre wetland expansion area. This alternative was created as a result of an on-site meeting with Dr. Louann Murray, Research Director of the Bolsa Chica Conservancy, in response to the recommendations made in her February 1,1994 letter. (Please refer to Attachment No. 4). Alternative 2 involves a lesser degree of fill and will provide sufficient park width to provide the three trails. This alternative includes the replanting of willows from existing willow clippings which the County has had past success with. The County also proposes to maintain and monitor for a five year period to insure successful re-establishment of the willow habitat. In addition, Alternative 2 will provide a wider, fan shaped,wetlands area which is considered to be more successful and preferable to the more linear shaped wetlands area provided by Alternatives 1 and 3. Alternative 3-Consists of maintaining the headwall at its present location and softening of the slopes to a 3:1 grade to minimize the safety hazards and control the erosion/sedimentation RCA 4/4/94 3 rcaappel problems currently occurring in the ravine area. This alternative involves substantial amounts of cut to obtain the 3:1 grade and will not provide sufficient space for separate equestrian, bicycle and pedestrian trails. It will also result in a linear shape wetlands area and overall, is considered less preferable than Alternatives 1 and 2. Parking Lot Locations The County also presented five alternatives for the location of parking for Phase IA. The primary concern of the surrounding neighborhoods was impacts to views and operational concerns (trash, security and noise) associated with the parking lot. It should be noted that these impacts are unavoidable under any alternative due to the nature of the use. The alternative locations primarily.alter the location and distribution of the impacts. Below is a summary of the alternative locations presented by the County. Alternative 1-Northeast of the intersection of Palm and Seapoint Avenues. This is the location approved on the GDP and originally proposed as part of Phase IA. This alternative includes a forty (40) space metered parking lot. As indicated in the operational guidelines of the GDP,the parking lot will only be open during daylight hours (7:00 AM to 6:00 PM from November I through March 31 and 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM from April through October); after hours the lot will be gated and locked to discourage loitering. The lot will also be setback from Seapoint Avenue to provide berming, landscaping and a pedestrian path which will minimize visual impacts to the residents across Seapoint, but provide adequate surveillance from vehicles traveling along Seapoint. This alternative also provides good distribution of parking for the park over the long- term(i.e.,'once the entire park is completed). Alternative 2-This alternative re-locates the parking lot further to the northeast to intersection of Cherryhill and Seapoint. Parking spaces will also be metered; the number of spaces and hours of operation will remain the same as Alternative 1. This alternative will provide additional parking lot surveillance opportunities from the guard station at Chenyhill,but will result in a greater loss of"usable" park area since it will locate the park at the widest"open" area in the park. This alternative will also provide fair distribution of parking for the park over the long-term(i.e., once the entire park is completed). Alternative 3-This alternative provides the forty (40)parking spaces through expansion of the Interpretive Center parking lot. Spaces will be metered and the hours of operation will remain the same as the previous alternatives. This alternative will provide fewer curb cuts and interruptions to traffic circulation on Seapoint but will create difficulty in screening of the parking lot expansion of residents across Seapoint since the expansion area can not be contained behind the existing gas plant wall line. This alternative will also result in a greater loss of "usable" park area than Alternative 1 and will not provide convenient parking for the southwesterly reaches of the park. Alternative 4-This alternative re-locates the parking lot further to the Southwest, adjacent to the Surfcrest Condominium project. Parking will be metered and provided in the same number during the same operational hours as the previous alternatives. This alternative will provide view RCA 4/4/94 4 rcaappel impacts to the fewest residences and will also provide good distribution of parking for the park over the long-term (i.e., once the entire park is completed); however, it will create an awkward circulation pattern at the intersection of Palm and Seapoint and may create serious circulation hazards. This alternative is not supported by the City's Traffic Division. If selected access of the parking lot should connect with access to the adjoining condominium project and an additional condition should be included to require the following: Prior to construction of the Phase I parking lot or initiation of Phase I processing (if the parking.lot is to be constructed at a later date),the County shall have submitted completed working drawings, cost estimates and a letter agreement with the City of Huntington Beach for construction of the parking lot access at the intersection of Seapoint and Palm Avenues. The applicant shall pursue obtaining an access easement to provide parking lot access via the condominium access road. Parking lot access shall be designed to City of Huntington Beach Traffic Division specifications. Alternative 5-This alternative removes the parking lot from the plan and proposes providing parking along the park side of Seapoint Avenue. This alternative also provides good distribution of parking for the park over the long-term(i.e., once the entire park is completed). However,this alternative will create a visual line of cars along Seapoint. It will also expand the distribution of noise and trash and increase security surveillance activities along the length of Seapoint instead of concentrating it to one location. Seapoint Avenue is designated as an arterial (with a bicycle lane) and is anticipated to carry higher volumes of faster moving traffic than is currently experienced. The City's Traffic Division is strongly opposed to the provision of park parking on Seapoint. City policy does not allow on street parking on arterials. Traffic volumes and speeds on arterials are not compatible with on-street parking and create hazards to those parking as well as those traveling on the arterial. In addition, Seapoint is designated to have a bicycle lane. Inclusion of on-street parking will result in either the loss,of the bicycle lane or a lane of traffic. Provision of the on-street bicycle lane is important to safe circulation in the park as it provides a route for high speed cyclists versus the more recreational cyclist which the park bicycle trails are intended to accommodate. Alternative 5 will increase conflicts between park users exiting their vehicles, bicyclists and vehicles traveling along Seapoint. Due to concerns with the hazards and circulation impacts associated with encouraging patrons to park along Seapoint,the City Traffic Division has stated that any parking provided will need to be accommodated through cut-outs to remove parked vehicles from the stream of traffic. Further consideration of this alternative will require widening of Seapoint to provide parking cut-outs and will reduce the usable area of the park. It will also require action to eliminate plans for future red curbing of Seapoint in the park area. The County also provided clarification on the County's efforts to increase the use of"natural" plant materials in the park indicating that they have expanded the use of natural species to approximately 50 percent of the entire park, an increase over the 40 percent originally approved RCA 4/4/94 5 rcaappel 'ice in the GDP. This has been accommodated by an increase of native transition areas between the usable park areas and ESHAs. After receiving additional public testimony and hearing the County's alternatives, the Planning Commission denied CUP No. 94-3 and CDP No. 93-28 based upon the findings that Bolsa Chica Regional Park is part of the larger Bolsa Chica project currently being processed by the County of Orange. The Commission believed that processing of the design plans for Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park constituted a segmentation of the processing of the larger Bolsa Chica project; and as such,the processing of Phase IA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park was premature and needed to be addressed in conjunction with development plans for the entire Bolsa Chica area so that the development of the park did not conflict with subsequent development of the larger Bolsa Chica area. The Planning Commission also found that the location, site layout, and design of Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park did not properly adapt the proposed use to adjacent uses in a harmonious manner because it includes a parking lot and trees in a location which will obstruct view opportunities of residents on the opposite side of Seapoint Avenue and includes active use areas,which are duplicated at the nearby Central Park facility. The County of Orange has submitted a letter responding to the Planning Commission's findings of denial. (Please refer to Attachment No.1) Conclusion: The general design plans for Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park have been prepared by the County of Orange with consideration for community concerns and are consistent with the General Development Plan reviewed and recommended for approval by the City Council in October of 1992. The County has made diligent efforts to resolve the community's concerns with the park plans throughout the process. The County has considered the suggestions received at the Planning Commission public hearings and has presented alternatives which reflect these recommendations for an improved Phase 1 A plan. The general design plans also implement the mitigation measures required for development of the park under FEIR No. 521 for the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. The plans protect and enhance public access opportunities to the Bolsa Chica while minimizing safety hazards and disturbances to wildlife activities and are consistent with the goals and policies of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Code. Staff recommends that the Council approve Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 with Alternative 2 for filling of approximately 190 feet of the drainage ravine and replanting of the willow tree and Alternative 1 for location of the parking lot approximately at the intersection of Palm and Seapoint Avenues as originally proposed. Environmental Status: The proposed project is consistent with the project analyzed in Final Environmental Impact ^ Report No. 521 (FEIR No. 521),prepared by the County of Orange, recommended for 0 W RCA 4/4/94 6 rcaappel certification by the Huntington Beach City Council on October 19, 1992 and Certified by the Board of Supervisors. All relevant mitigation measures identified in FEIR No. 521 have been incorporated in the recommended conditions of approval. FUNDING SOURCE: The Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park will be constructed, maintained, operated and funded by the County of Orange pursuant to the 1979 agreement with the City of Huntington Beach and County of Orange. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The City Council may make one of the following motions: A. "Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park with recommended findings and conditions of approval." B. "Uphold the Planning Commission's action by denying Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 with findings." ATTACHMENTS: 1.

That letter transmits findings for denial on the Coastal Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit applications. We would be appealing the Planning Commission's action to the City Council, except that we understand that the matter has already been appealed by City Councilmember Ralph Bauer. Nevertheless, I believe that it is appropriate to put into the record our disagreement and objections to the findings contained in the 2elefsky letter. Following is a point by point statement of our position. FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - Coastal__Develonment Permit No. 93-28: 1 . A finding that Phase I-A of the park does not conform with the City's LCP is contrary to the determination by City staff in recommending approval, and was not raised as an issue during the course of the Planning Commission hearings, either by the Commissioners or by those testifying at the hearing. Contrary to Finding 1 that there may be, incompatibility between the park and the Bolsa Chica wetlands, the park is positioned above the five-foot contour interval of elevation so as not to intrude into the lowlands. The five-foot contour interval has long been determined by the State Department of Fish and Game and Coastal Commission to be the uppermost elevation of the Bolsa Chica lowland wetlands system. The park is designed to provide a buffer and resource protection barrier at the lowlands interface, in accordance with Department of Fish and Game specifications. Finding 1 indicates a conflict may occur with the ATTIMCHMENT NO. •FKUM:trIH-n.d.1J. UlKtC..IU iu- .:,ry 1J4YJ ring el L»-. • Page 2 ultimate . restoration plan for Bolsa Chica. No testimony was offered to that effect; no`Planning Commissioner identified that as an issue; and the Department of Fish and Game has approved the park proposal and granted us _ a permit for the work within the ravine area, contradicting any suggestion of incompatibility. 2. This finding contends that the park may create circulation and view blockage problems. Regarding circulation, the park has been planned in accordance with direction received from the City Traffic Engineering. staff. The Planning Commission was offered four choices of parking arrangements and access and chose none of them. The park plan proposes no structures that would interfere with views, but it does propose trees in accordance with the City approved General Development Plan. we do not think that the proposal to plant trees in a park is a basis for denying approval of a Coastal Development Permit. FINDING FOR DENIAL - Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 i. Processing of the permit for Phase I-A of the park does not constitute a segmentation of the larger Bolsa Chica project. The larger Bolsa Chica project is in unincorporated County territory for which the. Coastal Act requires its own Local Coastal Program. The City's certified Local Coastal Program covers that jurisdiction in which the permit is being sought. Processing the permit in the two jurisdictions is being accomplished in accordance with direction from the Coastal Commission staff, which finds no such segmentation issue. 2. Coastal Commission staff has already determined that processing a permit application for a project within the City is not premature and need not be addresa-ed in conjunction with development plans for the entire Bolsa Chica area. There is no basis for the City Planning Commission to make such a finding. 3. The design of Phase I-A is consistent with the General Development plan previously approved by both the City Planning Commission and City Council. The only real issue with respect to surrounding residential properties is that related to the parking. The plan's off-street parking lot responds to the City.' s request for same. However, the location of the parking lot may be altered. Three optional site locations were offered at the hearing, but the Planning Commission chose none of them. The Planning Commission could have chosen one of the three off-Street locations, or they could have conditioned the plan's approval to provide for on-street parking. The Planning Commission chose none of these options, and in fact failed to make a decision in that regard. Being unwilling or unable to reach a decision is not a basis for denying a permit. 1 FROM:EMA-H.B.D.

Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 in conjunction with Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 represent a request by the County of Orange to review and approve the general design plans for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. Phase I consists of development of a forty (40) space parking lot,two park entry points with signage, a vista overlook with interpretive signage, bicycle/pedestrian trails, two picnic areas, security lighting,perimeter fencing and signage,installation of ornamental and native plant materials and irrigation. Phase lA also includes creation of a 2 acre wetland enhancement area located beyond the City' s boundary within the County's jurisdiction. Because this area is outside the City's jurisdiction,the County will be applying directly to the California Coastal Commission to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for this area. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the request because it is consistent with the General Development Plan and Environmental Impact Report that were conceptually approved by the Huntington Beach City Council in October of 1992 and Orange County Board of Supervisors in November 1992 and conforms with the plans,policies, requirements and standards of the City's Local Coastal Program SITE LOCATION MAP f � COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-28 CON-DITIONAL USE PERMIT 'NO. 94-2 IEWS I� 1 N �7 GARFIELD AVENUE I ' 21 ACRES CITY BOUNDARY P s�Ppo PHASE IA r N c�ssr 9�F SCALE: 1" = 1000' yol 1 , BOLSA CH ICA REGIONAL PARK R HUNTINGTON BEACH PLANNING DIVISION ei TO: Planning Commission FROM: Community Development DATE: March 1, 1994 SUBJECT: COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-28/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-3 (CONTINUED FROM FEBRUARY 15, 1994) APPLICANT: Orange County Environmental Management Agency, Harbors, Beaches and Parks Division, 300 N.

Comments primarily consisted of three issues regarding the park: (1) Filling of the drainage gully, (2) The location of the parking lot and (3)The distribution and type of plant materials. The County of Orange Department of Harbors,Beaches and Parks has further analyzed the concerns brought up at the February 1, 1994,Planning Commission public hearing and will be presenting their response at the meeting. The County has opted to provide all comments verbally at the March 1, 1994 meeting. Therefore, no written materials have been provided to staff before the meeting; as such, staff has not prepared any analysis of any components contained in the County's response. ,Two (2) letters were received after the February 1, 1994, meeting and have been included as Attachments No. 2 and No. 3. The first letter,from Edmond and Jennie Sakowicz(dated February 2, 1994), re-states the concerns regarding the three issues identified above and will be addressed by the County. The letter also expresses concerns about future traffic levels on Seapoint Avenue which is beyond the scope of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park project, but has been transmitted to the City's Traffic Division. The second.letter, from John Rohring (dated February 7, 1994), details the numerous efforts by the County to receive public input on the park plans and resolve the surrounding homeowners concerns. Upon further review, the County has requested that recommended condition of approval #2 and #3 be revised to read as follows: Condition No. 2 Prior to initiation of Phase 1 B processing,the County shall have submitted completed working drawings, cost estimates and a letter agreement with the City of Huntington Beach for construction of a left-turn pocket from Seapoint Avenue northbound into the Phase 1 A parking lot. The County has worked with the City of Huntington Beach Traffic Division regarding the timing for construction of the left-turn pocket from Seapoint Avenue northeast bound into the proposed parking lot. The City's Traffic Division has indicated that the above revised language is acceptable. Staff Report-3/1/94 2 (pcsr019) \� Condition No. 3 Prior to initiation of construction and earth moving activities, the construction/earth moving schedule shall be reviewed and approved by the Department of Fish and Game to minimize potential impacts to bird nesting. The previous condition proposed restricting construction and earth moving activities to the period between September 15 and April 15 to avoid disturbances during the nesting period; however, after the February 1, 1994, meeting , concerns arose regarding the possibility of impacts to nesting which may not coincide with this time frame. As such, the above amendment was recommended by the County and is supported by staff. Conclusion The County has indicated that no changes are proposed for the Phase 1 A general design plans that would make the plans inconsistent with the General Development Plan. Staff,therefore, believes that the general design plans for Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park have been prepared by the County of Orange with consideration for community concerns and are consistent with the General Development Plan reviewed and recommended for approval by the City Council in October of 1992. The general design plans also implement the mitigation measures required for development of the park under FEIR No. 521 for the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. As indicated in this report. the plans protect and enhance public access opportunities to the Bolsa Chica while minimizing safety hazards and disturbances to wildlife activities and are consistent with the goals and policies of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Code. 3.0 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Coastal Development Permit No. 93- 28 and Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 with the following findings and suggested conditions of approval as revised: FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL- CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO, 93-4: 1.

"Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 with findings and suggested conditions of approval." vu Staff Report-2/1/94 4- (PSCR007) 2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION: Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 and Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 are a request b P q Y the County of Orange to review and approve the general design plans for the 13 acres of Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park that are located within the City of Huntington Beach and within the Coastal Zone. Phase I A consists of development of a forty (40) space parking lot, two park entry points with signage, a vista overlook with interpretive signage, bicycle/pedestrian trails,two picnic areas, security lighting,perimeter fencing and signage, installation of ornamental and native plant materials and irrigation. Phase 1 A also includes creation of a 2 acre wetland expansion area located beyond the City' s boundary within the County's jurisdiction. Because this area is outside the City's jurisdiction, the County will be applying directly to the California Coastal Commission to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for this area. It should be noted that this is the first of two increments for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. Other facilities such as the Interpretive Center,restroom facilities and play area which were previously identified in Phase 1 of the General Development Plan are proposed for construction of Phase 1B. The timing of development of Phase I is uncertain at this point since development will be pursued based upon the availability of funding. However,Phase 1 B is also located within the Coastal Zone, any subsequent development plans will require additional coastal development permit review and approval by the City of Huntington Beach for the areas within the City's jurisdiction. In addition, project components, such as the vista overlook,trails and filling of the gully for the wetlands restoration component are located within-the CC-CZ (Conservation-Coastal Zone) and, pursuant to sections 9422.6(b) and 9422.6(f) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, are subject to Conditional Use Permit approval by the Planning Commission; therefore, Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 is being brought before the City of Huntington Beach Planning Commission for review and approval. 3.0 SURROUNDING LAND USE, ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATIONS: North and East of the Subject Property;.

All relevant mitigation measures identified in FEIR No. 521 have been provided in Attachment No. 9 and have been incorporated in the recommended conditions of approval. 5.0 COASTAL STATUS: This project is located in both the appealable and non-appealable portions of the Coastal Zone. and is subject to Coastal Development Permit approval by the City for areas within the City's jurisdiction(and the Coastal Commission for portions of the site within the County's jurisdiction). Thirteen(13) acres of Phase IA are located within the City's jurisdiction and are being brought before the Planning Commission for final action. Phase IA also includes creation of a 2 acre wetland enhancement area located beyond the City' s boundary within the County's jurisdiction. Because that area is outside the City's jurisdiction,the County will be applying directly to the California Coastal Commission to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for this area. Prior to any action on Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3, it is necessary for the Planning Commission to review and act on Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28. The proposed project will implement the following policies of the Coastal Element of the General Plan: • Protect, encourage and, where feasible,provide a variety of recreation facilities in the Coastal Zone that provide opportunities for all income groups. • Support recreational facilities in the Bolsa Chica Linear Park that: (a) Emphasize a low intensity character for that portion of the park within the City's coastal zone. (b�,Locate any higher intensity uses in nodes consistent with adjacent areas. (c) Limit above ground structures to support facilities such as restrooms,picnic tables and bike racks. ,l (d) Site all uses so as to preserve views to the adjacent Bolsa Chica. Staff Report-2/1/94, -3- (PSCR007) Preserve and enhance environmentally sensitive habitats including the Bolsa Chica which is within the sphere of influence of the City of Huntington Beach. Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 may be approved or conditionally approved only after it has been found to be in conformance with the Coastal Element by making the following findings: (a) Land Use Plan. That the development project proposed by the coastal development permit application conforms with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the Coastal Element; Nb Zoning Regulations. That the coastal development permit application is consistent with the CZ suffix,the base zoning district or specific plan as well as other provisions of the Huntington Beach Ordinance code applicable to the property; (c) Adequate Services. That at the time of occupancy the proposed development can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with C-LUP; and (d) California Coastal Act. That the development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. 6.0 REDEVELOPMENT STATUS: Not applicable. 7.0 : Not applicable.SPECIFIC PLAN: pr czLle. 8.0 SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE: Not applicable. 9.0 ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Project Description Phase I is the first phase of development of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park(BCRP). The BCRP planning area consists of a total of 106 acres, of which approximately 40 acres are located within the City's jurisdiction and approximately 66 acres are located within the unincorporated area of the County. Phase I encompasses a total of 15 acres of which approximately 13 acres fall within the coastal zone in the City of Huntington Beach. The remaining two (2)acres are also located within the coastal zone but lie in the within the unincorporated area of the County and are subject to action by the California Coastal Commission. The general design plans for Phase I are consistent with the General Development Plans (GDP) for the park that the City Council reviewed and approved in concept in October of 1992. A general site plan of the GDP and the Phase 1 A design plans have been provided in Attachments No. 4 and No. 1,respectively. Below is a summary of Phase I general design plan components. ♦ Parking: Phase IA includes a parking lot located along Seapoint Avenue northwest of Seapoint and Palm Avenue intersection. The parking lot will contain approximately 40 Staff Report-2/1/94 -4- (PSCR007) spaces; spaces are proposed to be angled and interior circulation will be restricted to one- way. Parking spaces will be metered to discourage use of the lot as alternative beach parking, as required by mitigation measures of the FEIR. As indicated in the operational guidelines of the GDP, the parking lot will only be open during daylight hours ( 7:OOAM to 6:00 PM from November I through March 31 and 7:OOAM to 6:00 PM from April through October); after hours the lot will be gated and locked to discourage loitering. The lot will also be setback from Seapoint Avenue to provide berming, landscaping and a pedestrian path which will minimize visual impacts to the residents across Seapoint. The City's Traffic Division has reviewed the proposed plans and has indicated that the proposed parking lot will require a new left turn pocket for vehicles traveling northbound on Seapoint Street and recommends that the pocket be designed to prevent U-turns and exiting left turns from the parking Iot entryway. The Traffic Division has also recommended that the landscape design provide adequate sight distances at the parking lot egress. (Further discussion on landscaping has been provided below). Both of these have been recommended as conditions of approval. Traffic comments also included some recommendations for the interpretive center which is not a part of this phase;those comments have been transmitted to the County for future consideration. ♦ Entries and Entry Signage: Phase 1 A includes two(2)park entry points. One(1) located approximately at the intersection of Palm and Seapoint Avenues and the other located along Seapoint at the northeastmost point of Phase 1 A. Textured concrete treatments and entry way signage are proposed to mark these points a s entries into the park. ♦ Vista Overlook: Phase I includes an open platform/deck style vista overlook with benches and interpretive signage to provide opportunities to view and learn about the Bolsa Chica. ♦ Bicycle/Pedestrian Paths: Phase I includes bicycle/pedestrian paths that will loop through the Phase I A area and later will connect on to subsequent phase trails proposed within the park; the park trail system will ultimately provide a contiguous trail system from Huntington Central Park to Pacific Coast Highway(PCH). However, at this time trails only provide bicycle and pedestrian circulation through the Phase 1 A area. No horse trails or contiguous trail system from Central Park to PCH is provided in Phase IA. ♦ Picnic Areas: Phase I includes two small picnic areas consisting of approximately one (1) to four(4) tables; no barbecue or picnic shelter facilities are proposed. ♦ Security Lighting and Fencing:Phase IA includes security lighting along bicycle/pedestrian paths. Lighting will be provided within the park to facilitate after-dark security and surveillance and to deter undesirable night time activity; lighting will just be for security purposes and will not be of sufficient intensity to encouraging night time use of the park. Lighting structures will be low in height and lighting will be directed toward paths to prevent light and glare impacts on the surrounding residences and habitat areas. Phase 1 A also includes perimeter fencing to discourage access to the developed areas of the park, the nature transition zones and wetlands expansion area of Phase IA. Staff Report-2/1/94 -5- (PSCR007) ♦ Planting and Irrigation System: Phase 1A proposes a plant palette which is intended to be consistent with the low intensity uses and natural setting of the park The City's Division of Park, Trees and Landscape has reviewed the proposed plant palette and has concerns about several plant species that have a history of maintenance or growth problems in the coastal zone climate and has recommended a list of more appropriate species that have been successful in the harsh conditions of the coastal zone. Removal of the problematic species from the plant palette and substitution of a more appropriate alternative from the City's plant list has been recommended as a condition of approval. Although the precise location of plant materials can only be determined in the field once grading has been completed and planting is underway, the County has worked with the Bolsa Chica Regional Park Citizens Advisory Committee and the surrounding homeowners associations to insure that the placement and distribution of trees will preserve the views of adjacent residents(as required by mitigation measures in FEIR No. 521). Phase 1 A also includes irrigation lines which will be able to connect on to the Green Acres (reclaimed water) system one the system is operational in the area(also required by mitigation measures in FEIR No. 521). ♦ Extension of the Golf Course Drainage Pipe/filling of the Drainage Gully and Creation of a Wetland Enhancement Area: The Phase I area includes a drainage gully which presently conveys runoff from the Seacliff Golf Course to the Bolsa Chica lowlands and contains approximately 0.25 acres of freshwater-adapted-arroyo willow(as identified in.FEIR No. 521). The gully is deep and eroded and runs through the mid-section of the usable park area where the more active park uses are anticipated to occur. Preservation of the gully would greatly reduce the usable park area and was considered a potential hazard to park users due to its proximity to the open play areas. To eliminate the hazard, Phase 1 of the GDP included extension of the existing drainage pipe, filling of the existing eroded drainage gully and creation of the a wetlands expansion area at the new outlet of the drainage pipe. In compliance with the GDP and FEIR,the general design plans for Phase I includes the following: (a) Extension of the drainage pipe approximately 130 feet to the north to maintain golf course drainage to the Bolsa Chica lowland; extension of the pipeline will be phased to preserve existing drainage to the golf course as required by mitigation in FEIR No. 521. . (b) Filling of the eroded drainage gully. Filling of the gully will involve an estimated 15, 000 cubic yards of fill to establish a more level and secure usable park area. s Staff Report-2/1/94 -6- (PSCR007) Issued Required Proposed Section 969.9.7 Community Facilities Finding that adequate Phase 1 A does not public services can be include any occupied provided to the site structures; all improvements can be accommodated by existing services or those provided in Phase IA 969.9.10 Buffers 100 ft. buffer from Approximately 100 environmentally ft. separation between sensitive habitat or trail and wetlands less subj.to Fish& enhancement area.

Required by FEIR No. 521 Staff Report-2/1/94 -8- (PSCR007) (c) Creation of an approximately 2 acre wetland expansion area. The expansion area will be located at the new outfall of the golf course drainage pipe which lies beyond the City's boundary. The wetlands expansion area is required to comply with mitigation for fill of the drainage gully. The wetlands expansion area will be located closer to the lowland and will be buffered from the more active areas of the park by a native transition zone. The buffer is expected to reduce the potential for disturbances to wildlife activities that would be present at the existing gully location. The County has been working with the Army Corps and Department of Fish and Game regarding the proposed fill and wetlands enhancement area and will be subject to permitting through those agencies (as stated in FEIR No. 521). Analysis: The County is requesting approval of the Coastal Development Permit for the general design plans for the portion of Phase IA that is located within the City. Section 989.5.4(G)(6) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code states that a coastal development permit may be approved by the Planning Commission if the project is in conformance with the City's Local Coastal Program and.make the findings specified in Section 5.0 Coastal of this report. LUP. Zoning Regulations and California Coastal Act The BCRP is identified in the Coastal Element of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan; Phase 1 A of the BCRP is consistent with the goals and policies of Coastal Element and the -CZ (Coastal Zone) suffix, which include public access and public recreation provisions and are consistent with Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act, and CC (Conservation) and ROS-O (Recreation Open Space-Oil)base zoning district provisions. These have been summarized in Section 3.6.2 of the General Plan,which supports development of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park, and Articles 969, 942 and 941 of the Huntington Beach Zoning code, respectively and primarily concern the implementation of compatible low intensity uses, a continuous trail system from Huntington Beach Central Park to the beach along the perimeter of the Bolsa Chica, public access and preservation of views. Phase I includes components which comply.with all of the Coastal Element policies of the general plan. A summary of zoning code provisions has been provided in the zoning conformance matrix below: Section Issue ReqUired Proposed 969.9.5 Public Access Access to recreational Park is a public areas. recreational facility. 969.9.6 Visual Resources Preservation of public Park provides views to ocean and enhanced view while wetland areas. restricting tree and plant material distribution to minimize obstructions to views.

Provision of Adequate Services Phase 1 A consists of minimal structures,none of which are designed for human occupancy or would require substantial additional infrastructure improvements such as sewer or utility improvements. All utility improvements required to serve Phase I (such as utility and water connections) are proposed to be constructed as part of this phase. Plans were circulated to the Police,Fire,Public Works and Community Services Departments for comments. Comments were received from Fire,Public Works, Traffic, Park Trees and Landscape and have been provided at Attachments No. 5,No. 6,No. 7, and No. 8, respectively. The comments from the Fire Department regarding installation of fire hydrants have been postponed to a later phase (Phase 1 B) where occupied structures are included. Comments from Public Works pertain to obtaining, encroachment permits for work on Seapoint Street, and grading permits;the issue of whether the County is subject to grading permits through the City of Huntington Beach is being determined by the City Attorney's Office. Both Public Works comments have been included as conditions of approval. Comments from the Traffic and Park "Trees and Landscape Divisions have been summarized under the project description of each related park development component. "L,a Staff Report-2/1/94 -9- (PSCR007) Uther Issues Phase 113 Play Area--Incorporation Gas Plant Structures/Equipment: Although not included as part of this phase, the County is looking into the possibility of maintaining some of the adjoining gas plant equipment and/or structures to be cleaned-up, decoratively painted and incorporated to provide an additional oil related "interpretive" quality to the proposed play area. Under Development Agreement 90-1 between the City of Huntington Beach and Seacliff Partners, owners of the property that the gas plant is located on,the site is required to be cleaned- up and dedicated to the City of Huntington Beach by December 31, 1994. the Development Agreement states that land will be free and clear of oil and gas equipment; any deviation would require an amendment to the Development Agreement. The County has indicated that preservation of any of the oil structures or equipment will make clean-up more difficult but would not reduce the clean-up obligations of Shell, the gas plant operator, and may not be able to be pursued if it will result in a violation of the property owner's responsibilities under the Development Agreement.. At a January 12, 1994,joint meeting with the Allied Arts Board, Historic Resources Board and Community Services Commission, the County presented the general concept for incorporation of the gas plant structures/equipment. The County received the unanimous support of the Boards and Commission,to pursue incorporation of the structures and equipment and is looking further into this issue. If pursued it will be brought back before the City through joint meetings with Allied Arts Board, Historic Resources Board and Community Services Commission,review by the Bolsa Chica Regional Park CAC and finally through processing of Phase 1 B design plans. Summary The general design plans for Phase l A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park have been prepared by the County of Orange with consideration for community concerns and are consistent with the General Development Plan reviewed and recommended for approval by the City Council in October of 1992. The general design plans also implement the mitigation measures required for development of the park under FEIR No. 521 for the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. As indicated in this report. the plans protect and enhance public access opportunities to the Bolsa Chica while minimizing safety hazards and disturbances to wildlife activities and are consistent with the goals and policies of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Code. 10.0 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Coastal Development Permit No. 93- 28 and Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 with the following findings and suggested conditions of approval: FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93-4: 1.

The regional park will attract visitors from the local area as well as the broader countywide community. The park is proximate to residential landuse to the east and south, and the Bolsa Chica Vetlands to the west and north. The subject of this Coastal Development Permit application is Phase IA of the park project. Phase I consists of approximately 47 acres; Phase IA (the first increment of Phase I) includes 15 acres. Phase IA includes: two park entries with signage; a 40-car parking lot with parking meters, a vista overlook with interpretive signage, perimeter fencing with signage, park security lighting, two informal picnic areas, pedestrian/bicycle trails, a wetland enhancement area, ornamental and native planting, and irrigation. Construction of equestrian trails is not a part of this first increment. The wetland enhancement area will include an approximate 2 acre parcel adja- cent the City boundary line (see Site Location Hap). Because this portion of Phase IA is outside the city's jurisdiction, a Coastal Development Permit from the California Coastal Commission will be obtained for this area. Other facilities such as a restroom, an Interpretive Center and a play area are shown as part of Phase I, and are proposed for construction as Phase !B. when funding becomes available, we will request permits for these improvements. ?AS:js3112213584416 DRAFT Staff'from the Orange County Department of Harbours, Beaches and Parks gave a presentation to the Commission.

For years our organization has been actively participating in the development of the park plans. We submit the following items for your review: We feel that the County has continually been responsive to our requests: (1) that the bluff top landscaping include more indigenous native plantings in combination of meadows and natural habitat--with limited mowed lawn to keep the park in harmony with the surrounding area and to serve as a buffer to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. (2) in addressing our concerns, along with Fish & Game's, to preserve as much as possible of the fresh water arroyo course and its habitat and the plans for the 2 acre wetlands enhancement at the base of the arroyo. The Amigos continue to support the inclusion of the interpretative center in the park and the concept of a "gas plant" museum for the benefit of the public. ATTACHMENT NO. t City Council Members March 30, 1994 Page 2 We strongly support a community based planting program to strengthen the citizen's participation in the actual park implementation and we have volunteered to assist in coordinating efforts toward this end. The total area of the proposed park be expanded. The City, County and nearby landowners should use all efforts to increase--through dedication, fee purchase, easement or lease-the total park acreage. We strongly urge that in addition to the Proposition 70 funds the City should seek other park funds to be used as soon as possible to this end. In conclusion, the Amigos de Bolsa Chica urges the Council to move expeditiously to resolve any remaining concerns and to approve Phase lA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park so that the park will finally become a reality after several decades of citizen's input and planning. This 15 acre section of the park will at last begin to provide a necessary buffer from the surrounding urban development and it will provide the public an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of our coastal resources at the Bolsa Chica.

We believe that the regional park offers a number of benefits that will enhance the quality of life in our city. This plan has already undergone a great deal of 'scrutiny by the city, the county and the citizens of Huntington Beach. It is a good plan, a reasonable plan, and we believe it should be implemented without further delay. On behalf of the Board of Directors, and the membership at large, we urge you to take whatever steps are .necessary to resolve the current issues surrounding the Bolsa Chica Regional Park and assist in its expeditious approval.

SUBJECT: Appeal of Linear Park Item by Councilmember Bauer BACKGROUND You have asked for some advice concerning the appeal of the Linear Park from the Planning Commission to City Council by Councilmember Ralph Bauer. As we understand the facts, the Planning Commission acted on March 1, 1994, to deny the Coastal Development and Conditional Use Permits for the Linear Park. (See attached Notice of Action.) Thereafter, Mr. Bauer requested a City Council hearing on the item, by memorandum dated March 3, 1994. You never received the original memo from Mr. Bauer, although a copy of the memo was received by the Community Development Department on March 9, 1994. (See attached copy of memorandum.) ISSUE Is Mr. Bauer's appeal valid? CONCLUSION Yes. DISCUSSION The Huntington Beach Ordinance Code provides two.ways for an item to be appealed to the City Council after it has been decided by the Planning Commission. The first way is an "appeal" by an applicant or interested party, and is discussed in Section 9880. It provides that a written notice must be filed with the City Clerk within 10 days after the decision by the Planning Commission. The second way is by a "challenge" pursuant to Section 9881. Any member of the City Council may make a written request, within the ten day period for appeal, for a hearing before the City Council. Unlike Section 9880, Section 9881 does not specifically require that the "challenge".be filed with the City Clerk. 4\03/21/94 Connie Brockway, City Clerk Appeal of Planning Commission item by Mr. Bauer March 21, 1994 We previously addressed this subject in our opinion of June 22, 1989 (copy attached.), wherein we decided that a timely appeal was not taken when Councilmember Winchell's appeal memo was not disseminated nor received until after the appeal period had expired. We find that the facts of the instant matter are distinguishable. Although the Clerk did not receive a copy of Mr. Bauer's challenge memo during the appeal period, the memo was disseminated and received by at least one city department within the appeal period. This shows substantial compliance with Section 9881, and is sufficient to meet the intent of the Code.

ANSWER No . FACTS The action of the Planning Commission' s approval of EIR 89-3 and TT13920 was taken on June 6, 1989 . Councilwoman Winchell ' s appeal was filed with the clerk' s office on June 19 , 1989 . According to Councilwoman Winchell, on June 5 , 1989 she gave a note to the council secretary with instructions to file the appeal . The appeal was typed that day and left for Councilwoman Winchell ' s signature. It was not signed until June 19 , 1989 , which is the day it was delivered to the City Clerk for filing. - ANALYSIS The rule concerning appeals from the Planning Commission is found in the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, Title 9 Article 998 . This section states that an appeal must be taken within ten (10) days . The Huntington Beach Ordinance Code provides no relief to a late filing requirement. Search has disclosed no prior legal opinions from this office on this issue. In Yoakley, Zoning Law & Practice S 13 , paragraph 5 , the author states , "Where the appeal is not timely perfected the board is without authority to hear the appeal on the merits . " (cites) . In Rathkopf, The Law of Planning and Zoning, page 41-43 , the following appears , "Where (the) rule . require(d) that an appeal be taken within 30 days after the decision complained of, it was held that the board had no authority to hear an appeal on the merits" (when the notice was late) . (cites) . Given these authorities we conclude that there is no jurisdiction for the council to hear the late appeal of Mrs . Winchell .

LOCATION: 5801 Seapoint Avenue DATE OF ACTION: March 1, 1994 FINDINGS FOR DENIAL- COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMMIT NO. 93-28: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 for the proposed design plan for Phase IA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park does not conform with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the City's Local Coastal Program. It is difficult to determine compatibility of the Regional Park with the Bolsa Chica wetlands when the land uses and wetland restoration project boundaries for Bolsa Chica have not been approved. The Bolsa Chica Regional Park Plan with delineated trail locations, parking lot, and plant materials may conflict with the ultimate restoration plan for Bolsa Chica. 2. The location, site layout, and design of Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park may not properly adapt the proposed use to existing streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner by maintaining existing circulation pattern and preserving view opportunities for residents on the opposite side of Seapoint Avenue. (pW003-1) Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28/ Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 Page Two FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-3: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 for the development of the Phase l A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park is part of the larger Bolsa Chica project currently being processed by the County of Orange. Processing of the design plans for Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park constitutes a segmentation of the processing of the larger Bolsa Chica project. 2. Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 for the development of Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park is premature and needs to be addressed in conjunction with development plans for the entire Bolsa Chica area. 3. Conditional Use Permit no. 94-3 for the proposed design plan for Phase IA of the Bolsa Chica Regional park does not properly integrate the proposed park uses in a manner sensitive to the surrounding residential properties. The proposed park includes "active" use areas which duplicate facilities provided at nearby Central Park and are not compatible with adjacent residential uses. Park uses should be passive in nature. I hereby certify that.Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 and Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 were denied by the Planning Commission of the City of Huntington Beach on March 1, 1994 upon the foregoing findings.

[XI Yes [ ] New Policy or Exception Statement of Issue,Recommendation,Analysis,Funding Source,Alternative Actions,Attachments: awl STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Transmitted for action by the City Council is an appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 for the General Development Plans for Phase lA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. The Planning Commission denied the development plans at their March 1, 1994, meeting. In the interest of progressing toward development of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park, as approved by the Huntington Beach City Council and County Board of Supervisors, Councilman Bauer has appealed the Commission's decision. RECOMMENDATION: Planning Commission Recommendation: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION ON MARCH 1. 1994: THE MOTION MADE BY BIDDLE, SECONDED BY COOK, TO DENY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-3 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-28 WITH FINDINGS CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: COOK,NEWMAN, INGLEE, BIDDLE NOES: RICHARDSON, DETTLOFF ABSTAIN: NONE ABSENT: GORMAN MOTION PASSED D ' Staff Recommendation: Motion to: "Overturn the Planning Commission's action and approve Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 with findings and suggested conditions of approval" (see Attachment No. 5). ANALYSIS: Project Description Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 are a request by the County of Orange to review and approve the general design plans for the 13 acres of Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park that are located within the City of Huntington Beach and within the Coastal Zone. Phase 1A consists of development of a forty (40) space parking lot, two park entry points with signage, a vista overlook with interpretive signage, bicycle/pedestrian trails, two picnic areas, security lighting, perimeter fencing and signage, installation of ornamental and native plant materials and irrigation. (For an in depth description of Phase I components, please refer to Attachment No. 3, Planning Commission Staff Report,pages 14 through 16). Phase 1 A also includes creation of a wetland expansion area located beyond the City' s boundary within the County's jurisdiction. Because this area is outside the City's jurisdiction,the County will be applying directly to the California Coastal Commission to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for this area. Phase I consists of the first of two increments for Phase 1 of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. Other facilities identified in Phase 1 on the GDP, such as the Interpretive Center, restroom facilities and play area, are proposed for construction of Phase 1B. The timing of development of Phase 1 B is uncertain at this point since development will be pursued based upon the availability of funding. However, Phase I is also located within the Coastal Zone, any subsequent development plans for phase 1 B or other phases located within the City will require an additional review and approval by the City of Huntington Beach. Background In October of 1992, the Huntington Beach City Council adopted Resolution No. 6434, conceptually approving the General Development Plan(GDP) and Environmental Impact Report (EIR#521) for the Bolsa Chica Regional Park and recommending adoption of the documents by the County Board of Supervisors. (Please refer to Attachment No. 7). Council also adopted Resolution No. 6435, deferring Coastal Development Permit processing authority for the Bolsa Chica Regional Park to the Coastal Commission for development plans that were consistent with the GDP. Council adopted the resolution in an effort to prevent duplication of review and to facilitate park development. (Please refer to Attachment No. 8). Although this action was later determined to be inconsistent with the intent of section C of the Coastal Act Post Certification Manual on which it was based due to a change in interpretation of section, Council's willingness RCA 4/4/94 2 rcaappel to defer its coastal development permit processing authority to the Coastal Commission reflects its confidence in the original GDP. On February 1, 1994, Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93- 28 were brought before the Planning Commission for review and approval. The Commission was requested to review the General Design Plans for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park for consistency with the General Development Plan (GDP). At the hearing, the public raised several issues regarding options for filling of the drainage gully,the distribution and type of plant materials proposed for the park, and the location for the Phase IA parking lot. The Planning Commission continued action on the project to allow the County time to look into the issues presented at the February 1, 1994, public hearing. After meeting with representatives of the surrounding homeowners' associations, and environmental professionals,the County returned to the Planning Commission on March 1, 1994,to present several alternatives for the Planning Commission's consideration. The alternatives addressed various options for the filling of drainage ravine and the location of the parking lots. A summary of each alternative has been provided below. Exhibits showing the drainage ravine alternatives and the general location of each parking lot location will be provided at the April 4, 1994, Council meeting. Drainage Ravine Alternative 1-Consists of extension of head wall and drainage pipe approximately 220 feet toward the Bolsa Chica lowland and creation of an approximately 0.5 acre wetland expansion area. This alternative is the one originally proposed in Phase 1A and will involve softening of the ravine slopes, north of the head wall,to control erosion and sedimentation, and fill of approximately 220 feet of the drainage ravine to provide sufficient usable park width for separate equestrian, pedestrian and bicycle paths. Alternative 2-Proposes a reduction in the head wall/drainage pipe extension to approximately 190 feet toward the Bolsa Chica lowland and also includes the creation of an approximately 0.5 acre wetland expansion area. This alternative was created as a result of an on-site meeting with Dr. Louann Murray, Research Director of the Bolsa Chica Conservancy, in response to the recommendations made in her February 1,1994 letter. (Please refer to Attachment No. 4). Alternative 2 involves a lesser degree of fill and will provide sufficient park width to provide the three trails. This alternative includes the replanting of willows from existing willow clippings which the County has had past success with. The County also proposes to maintain and monitor for a five year period to insure successful re-establishment of the willow habitat. In addition, Alternative 2 will provide a wider, fan shaped,wetlands area which is considered to be more successful and preferable to the more linear shaped wetlands area provided by Alternatives 1 and 3. Alternative 3-Consists of maintaining the headwall at its present location and softening of the slopes to a 3:1 grade to minimize the safety hazards and control the erosion/sedimentation RCA 4/4/94 3 rcaappel problems currently occurring in the ravine area. This alternative involves substantial amounts of cut to obtain the 3:1 grade and will not provide sufficient space for separate equestrian, bicycle and pedestrian trails. It will also result in a linear shape wetlands area and overall, is considered less preferable than Alternatives 1 and 2. Parking Lot Locations The County also presented five alternatives for the location of parking for Phase 1A. The primary concern of the surrounding neighborhoods was impacts to views and operational concerns (trash, security and noise) associated with the parking lot. It should be noted that these impacts are unavoidable under any alternative due to the nature of the use. The alternative locations primarily alter the location and distribution of the impacts. Below is a summary of the alternative locations presented by the County. Alternative 1-Northeast of the intersection of Palm and Seapoint Avenues. This is the location approved on the GDP and originally proposed as part of Phase 1A. This alternative includes a forty (40) space metered parking lot. As indicated in the operational guidelines of the GDP, the parking lot will only be open during daylight hours (7:00 AM to 6:00 PM from November 1 through March 31 and 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM from April through October); after hours the lot will be gated and locked to discourage loitering. The lot will also be setback from Seapoint Avenue to provide berming, landscaping and a pedestrian path which will minimize visual impacts to the residents across Seapoint, but provide adequate surveillance from vehicles traveling along Seapoint. This alternative also provides good distribution of parking for the park over the long- term(i.e., once the entire park is completed). Alternative 2-This alternative re-locates the parking lot further to the northeast to intersection of Cherryhill and Seapoint. Parking spaces will also be metered; the number of spaces and hours of operation will remain the same as Alternative 1. This alternative will provide additional parking lot surveillance opportunities from the guard station at Cherryhill, but will result in a greater loss of"usable" park area since it will locate the park at the widest "open" area in the park. This alternative will also provide fair distribution of parking for the park over the long-term (i.e., once the entire park is completed). Alternative 3-This alternative provides the forty (40) parking spaces through expansion of the Interpretive Center parking lot. Spaces will be metered and the hours of operation will remain the same as the previous alternatives. This alternative will provide fewer curb cuts and interruptions to traffic circulation on Seapoint but will create difficulty in screening of the parking lot expansion of residents across Seapoint since the expansion area can not be contained behind the existing gas plant wall line. This alternative will also result in a greater loss of "usable" park area than Alternative 1 and will not provide convenient parking for the southwesterly reaches of the park. Alternative 4-This alternative re-locates the parking lot further to the Southwest, adjacent to the Surfcrest Condominium project. Parking will be metered and provided in the same number during the same operational hours as the previous alternatives. This alternative will provide view RCA 4/4/94 4 rcaappel impacts to the fewest residences and will also provide good distribution of parking for the park over the long-term (i.e., once the entire park is completed); however, it will create an awkward circulation pattern at the intersection of Palm and Seapoint and may create serious circulation hazards. This alternative is not supported by the City's Traffic Division. If selected access of the parking lot should connect with access to the adjoining condominium project and an additional condition should be included to require the following: Prior to construction of the Phase 1 A parking lot or initiation of Phase 1 B processing (if the parking lot is to be constructed at a later date), the County shall have submitted completed working drawings, cost estimates and a letter agreement with the City of Huntington Beach for construction of the parking lot access at the intersection of Seapoint and Palm Avenues. The applicant shall pursue obtaining an access easement to provide parking lot access via the condominium access road. Parking lot access shall be designed to City of Huntington Beach Traffic Division specifications. Alternative 5-This alternative removes the parking lot from the plan and proposes providing parking along the park side of Seapoint Avenue. This alternative also provides good distribution of parking for the park over the long-term(i.e., once the entire park is completed). However, this alternative will create a visual line of cars along Seapoint. It will also expand the distribution of noise and trash and increase security surveillance activities along the length of Seapoint instead of concentrating it to one location. Seapoint Avenue is designated as an arterial (with a bicycle lane) and is anticipated to carry higher volumes of faster moving traffic than is currently experienced. The City's Traffic Division is strongly opposed to the provision of park parking on Seapoint. City policy does not allow on street parking on arterials. Traffic volumes and speeds on arterials are not compatible with on-street parking and create hazards to those parking as well as those traveling on the arterial. In addition, Seapoint is designated to have a bicycle lane. Inclusion of on-street parking will result in either the loss of the bicycle lane or a lane of traffic. Provision of the on-street bicycle lane is important to safe circulation in the park as it provides a route for high speed cyclists versus the more recreational cyclist which the park bicycle trails are intended to accommodate. Alternative 5 will increase conflicts between park users exiting their vehicles, bicyclists and vehicles traveling along Seapoint. Due to concerns with the hazards and circulation impacts associated with encouraging patrons to park along Seapoint,the City Traffic Division has stated that any parking provided will need to be accommodated through cut-outs to remove parked vehicles from the stream of traffic. Further consideration of this alternative will require widening of Seapoint to provide parking cut-outs and will reduce the usable area of the park. It will also require action to eliminate plans for future red curbing of Seapoint in the park area. The County also provided clarification on the County's efforts to increase the use of"natural" plant materials in the park indicating that they have expanded the use of natural species to approximately 50 percent of the entire park, an increase over the 40 percent originally approved RCA 4/4/94 5 rcaappel in the GDP. This has been accommodated by an increase of native transition areas between the usable park areas and ESHAs. After receiving additional public testimony and hearing the County's alternatives, the Planning Commission denied CUP No. 94-3 and CDP No. 93-28 based upon the findings that Bolsa Chica Regional Park is part of the larger Bolsa Chica project currently being processed by the County of Orange. The Commission believed that processing of the design plans for Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park constituted a segmentation of the processing of the larger Bolsa Chica project; and as such, the processing of Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park was premature and needed to be addressed in conjunction with development plans for the entire Bolsa Chica area so that the development of the park did not conflict with subsequent development of the larger Bolsa Chica area. The Planning Commission also found that the location, site layout, and design of Phase lA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park did not properly adapt the proposed use to adjacent uses in a harmonious manner because it includes a parking lot and trees in a location which will obstruct view opportunities of residents on the opposite side of Seapoint Avenue and includes active use areas, which are duplicated at the nearby Central Park facility. The County of Orange has submitted a letter responding to the Planning Commission's findings of denial. (Please refer to Attachment No.1) Conclusion: The general design plans for Phase lA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park have been prepared by the County of Orange with consideration for community concerns and are consistent with the General Development Plan reviewed and recommended for approval by the City Council in October of 1992. The County has made diligent efforts to resolve the community's concerns with the park plans throughout the process. The County has considered the suggestions received at the Planning Commission public hearings and has presented alternatives which reflect these recommendations for an improved Phase 1 A plan. The general design plans also implement the mitigation measures required for development of the park under FEIR No. 521 for the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. The plans protect and enhance public access opportunities to the Bolsa Chica while minimizing safety hazards and disturbances to wildlife activities and are consistent with the goals and policies of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Code. Staff recommends that the Council approve Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 with Alternative 2 for filling of approximately 190 feet of the drainage ravine and replanting of the willow tree and Alternative 1 for location of the parking lot approximately at the intersection of Palm and Seapoint Avenues as originally proposed. Environmental Status: The proposed project is consistent with the project analyzed in Final Environmental Impact Report No. 521 (FEIR No. 521),prepared by the County of Orange, recommended for RCA 4/4/94 6 rcaappel certification by the Huntington Beach City Council on October 19, 1992 and Certified by the Board of Supervisors. All relevant mitigation measures identified in FEIR No. 521 have been incorporated in the recommended conditions of approval. FUNDING SOURCE: The Phase lA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park will be constructed, maintained, operated and funded by the County of Orange pursuant to the 1979 agreement with the City of Huntington Beach and County of Orange. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The City Council may make one of the following motions: A. "Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 for Phase lA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park with recommended findings and conditions of approval." B. "Uphold the Planning Commission's action by denying Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 and Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 with findings." ATTACHMENTS: 1.

A finding that Phase I-A of the park does not conform with the City's LCP is contrary to the determination by City staff in recommending approval, and was not raised as an issue during the course of the Planning Commission hearings, either by the Commissioners or by those testifying at the hearing. contrary to Finding 1 that there may be incompatibility between the park and the Bolsa Chica wetlands, the park is positioned above the five-foot contour interval of elevation so as not to intrude into the lowlands. The five-foot contour interval has long been determined by the State Department of Fish and dame and Coastal Commission to be the uppermost elevation of the Solsa Chica lowland wetlands system. The park is designed to provide a buffer and resource protection barrier at the lowlands interface, in accordance with Department of Fish and name specifications. Finding 1 indicates a conflict may occur with the ATTACHMENT NO. -i FROM:EMA-H.H.D. DIRECT TO: 374 1540 • MAR 21, 1994 10:39AM P.03 Page 2 ultimate restoration plan for Bolsa Chica. No testimony was offered to- that effect; no Planning Commissioner identified that as an issue; and the Department of Fish and Game has approved the park proposal and granted us- a permit for the work within the ravine area, contradicting any suggestion of incompatibility. 2 . This finding contends that the park may create circulation and view blockage problems. Regarding circulation, the park has been planned in accordance with direction received from the City Traffic Engineering staff. The Planning Commission was offered four choices of parking arrangements and access and chose none of them. The park plan proposes no structures that would interfere with views, but it does propose trees in accordance with the City approved General Development Plan. we do not think that the proposal to plant trees in a park is a basis for denying approval of a Coastal Development Permit. FINDING FOR DENIAL - Conditional Use Permit No. 99-3: 1. Processing of the permit for Phase I-A of the park does not constitute a segmentation of the larger Bolsa Chica project. The larger Bolsa Chica project is in unincorporated County territory for which the Coastal Act requires its own Local Coastal Program. The City's certified Local Coastal Program covers that jurisdiction in which the permit is being ' sought. Processing the permit in the two jurisdictions is being accomplished in accordance with direction from the Coastal Commission staff, which finds no such segmentation issue. 2 . Coastal Commission staff has already determined that processing a permit application for a project within the City is not premature and need not be addressed in conjunction with development plans for the entire Bolsa Chica area. There is no basis for the City Planning Commission to make such a finding. 3. The design of Phase I-A is Consistent with the General Development Plan- previously approved by both the City Planning Commission and City Council. The only real issue with respect to surrounding residential properties is that related_ to the parking, The plan's off-street parking lot responds to the City!s request for same. However, the location of the parking lot may be altered. Three optional site locations were offered at the hearing, but the Planning Commission chose none of them. The Planning Commission could have chosen one of the threes off-street locations, or they could have conditioned the plan's approval to provide for on-street parking. The Planning Commission chose none of these options, and in fact failed to make a decision in that regard. Being unwilling or unable to reach a decision is not a basis for denying a permit. FROM:EMA-H.B.D. DIRECT TO: 374 1540 • MAR 21, 1994 10:40AM. P.04 Page 3 I regret the necessity of arguing the above points, but it preserves our position should it be necessary later to show that we exhausted our administrative remedies in resolving the issue of the permit application. I look forward to working with staff and councilmembers in attempting to resolve issues in a way that will lead to the granting of a permit for this project, which after all is being pursued by the County at the request of the City of Huntington Beach.

Sakowicz 19305 Champion Lane (;RR 19914 Huntington Beach, California 92648 (714) 960-0809 -r April 1, 1994 Members of the Huntington Beach City Council, On Monday, April 4, 1994, you will consider the fate of the "Orange County Linear Park" to be located along Seapoint Avenue in the "Seacliff" area. There will be some residents of the Seacliff on the Greens residential community in attendance and they will indicate that they represent all the residents of the community. I should like to go on record that they do not in fact represent all of us. In fact, I have no recollection of any poll being taken and in the one meeting held in our area which was well attended, the number represented less than 10 % of the residents and they were not all Club Series residents. My wife and I look forward to the installation of the park. We also have no argument related to the type of vegetation. In fact, anything would be better then the weeds now growing in the area. We agree that a better placement of the parking facilities must be considered, but also agree that street parking should be prohibited. We feel the efforts and arguments offered thus far are motivated by a few residents facing that proposed park, but the park proposal was in existence long before they moved in. It is our hope that this matter be settled and put to bed. Perhaps a better suggestion is for the County to start Phase 1 in the area east of this current proposal and let these people enjoy their dust and dirt for a while longer. Also. fill in the gully. Very truly yours Edmund J. owicz z _H C) 7 r -t t7 R1 .o v a I ' AMI S P.O. Box 3748, Huntington Beach, CA 92603-3748 • (714) 897-7003 �e 1 ® ..p S CL .� t- r�rn_ l� "'UntM }-+ C T_ T.

The City, County and nearby landowners should use all efforts to increase--through dedication, fee purchase, easement or lease-the total park acreage. We strongly urge that in addition to the Proposition 70 funds the City should seek other park funds to be used as soon as possible to this end. In conclusion, the Amigos de Bolsa Chica urges the Council to move expeditiously to resolve any remaining concerns and to approve Phase 1A, of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park so that the park will finally become a reality after several decades of citizen's input and planning. This 15 acre section of the park will at last begin to provide a necessary buffer from the surrounding urban development and it will provide the public an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of our coastal resources at the Bolsa Chica.

Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 in conjunction with Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 represent a request by the County of Orange to review and approve the general design plans for Phase IA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. Phase 1A consists of development of a forty (40) space parking lot, two park entry points with signage, a vista overlook with interpretive signage, bicycle/pedestrian trails,two picnic areas, security lighting, perimeter fencing and signage, installation of ornamental and native plant materials and irrigation. Phase I also includes creation of a 2 acre wetland enhancement area located beyond the City' s boundary within the County's jurisdiction. Because this area is outside the City's jurisdiction, the County will be applying directly to the California Coastal Commission to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for this area. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the request because it is consistent with the General Development Plan and Environmental Impact Report that were conceptually approved by the Huntington Beach City Council in October of 1992 and Orange County Board of Supervisors in November 1992 and conforms with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the City's Local Coastal Program B� l `�, , '�HWENT N0. f SITE LOCATION MAP i COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-28 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-2 IELUS II I i n I � 'J GARFIELD AVENUE 21 ACRES CITY BOUNDARY P PQo`N.� PHASE IA sE ��ssr 9`F SCALE: 1" = 1000' E30LSA CHICA REGIONAL PARK HUNTINGTON BEACH PLANNING DIVISION TO: Planning Commission FROM: Community Development DATE: March 1, 1994 SUBJECT: COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-28/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-3 (CONTINUED FROM FEBRUARY 15, 1994) APPLICANT: Orange County Environmental Management Agency, Harbors, Beaches and Parks Division, 300 N.

Staff Report-3/1/94 1 (pcsr019) 2) 2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION: Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 and Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 were continued at the February 15, 1994, meeting of the Planning Commission to allow the County to consider incorporation of some of the recommendations presented at the February 1, 1994, meeting. Comments primarily consisted of three issues regarding the park: (1) Filling of the drainage gully, (2) The location of the parking lot and (3) The distribution and type of plant materials. The County of Orange Department of Harbors, Beaches and Parks has further analyzed the concerns brought up at the February 1, 1994, Planning Commission public hearing and will be presenting their response at the meeting. The County has opted to provide all comments verbally at the March 1, 1994 meeting. Therefore, no written materials have been provided to staff before the meeting; as such, staff has not prepared any analysis of any components contained in the County's response. Two (2) letters were received after the February 1, 1994, meeting and have been included as Attachments No. 2 and No. 3. The first letter, from Edmond and Jennie Sakowicz(dated February 2, 1994),re-states the concerns regarding the three issues identified above and will be addressed by the County. The letter also expresses concerns about future traffic levels on Seapoint Avenue which is beyond the scope of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park project, but has been transmitted to the City's Traffic Division. The second letter, from John Rohring (dated February 7, 1994), details the numerous efforts by the County to receive public input on the park plans and resolve the surrounding homeowners concerns. Upon further review, the County has requested that recommended condition of approval#2 and #3 be revised to read as follows: Condition No. 2 Prior to initiation of Phase I processing,the County shall have submitted completed working drawings, cost estimates and a letter agreement with the City of Huntington Beach for construction of a left-turn pocket from Seapoint Avenue northbound into the Phase IA parking lot. The County has worked with the City of Huntington Beach Traffic Division regarding the timing for construction of the left-turn pocket from Seapoint Avenue northeast bound into the proposed parking lot. The City's Traffic Division has indicated that the above revised language is acceptable. Staff Report-3/1/94 2 (pcsr019) 14 Condition No. 3 Prior to initiation of construction and earth moving activities,the construction/earth moving schedule shall be reviewed and approved by the Department of Fish and Game to minimize potential impacts to bird nesting. The previous condition proposed restricting construction and earth moving activities to the period between September 15 and April 15 to avoid disturbances during the nesting period; however, after the February 1, 1994, meeting , concerns arose regarding the possibility of impacts to nesting which may not coincide with this time frame. As such, the above amendment was recommended by the County and is supported by staff. Conclusion The County has indicated that no changes are proposed for the Phase I general design plans that would make the plans inconsistent with the General Development Plan. Staff,therefore, believes that the general design plans for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park have been prepared by the County of Orange with consideration for community concerns and are consistent with the General Development Plan reviewed and recommended for approval by the City Council in October of 1992. The general design plans also implement the mitigation measures required for development of the park under FEIR No. 521 for the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. As indicated in this report. the plans protect and enhance public access opportunities to the Bolsa Chica while minimizing safety hazards and disturbances to wildlife activities and are consistent with the goals and policies of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Code. 3.0 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Coastal Development Permit No. 93- 28 and Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 with the following findings and suggested conditions of approval as revised: FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL- CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 93-4: 1. The location, site layout, and design of the general development plans for Phase I are consistent with the General Development Plan, conceptually approved by the Huntington Beach City Council on October 19, 1992 and properly adapts the proposed structures to streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner. 2. The combination and relationship of one proposed use to another on site are properly integrated. 3. The filling of the drainage gully is necessary to eliminate potential safety hazards to park users and will be mitigated by the creation of an approximately 2 acre wetland enhancement area. Staff Report-3/1/94 3 (pcsr019) 4. The vista overlook will provide additional visual access opportunities to the Bolsa Chica while minimizing potential intrusions to wildlife activities. 5. The pedestrian and bicycle trail system will provide additional access opportunities in the vicinity of the Bolsa Chica. Perimeter fencing will discourage human access into environmentally sensitive areas to minimize disturbances to wildlife. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL- COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO, 93-28: 1.

"Approve Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 with findings and suggested conditions of approval;" and B. "Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 with findings and suggested conditions of approval." Staff Report-2/1/94 -1- (PSCR007) 2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION: n Permit No. 93-28 and Conditional Use Permit N 4- Coastal Development o. 9 3 are a request by the County of Orange to review and approve the general design plans for the 13 acres of Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park that are located within the City of Huntington Beach and within the Coastal Zone. Phase I consists of development of a forty (40) space parking lot,two park entry points with signage, a vista overlook with interpretive signage, bicycle/pedestrian trails, two picnic areas, security lighting,perimeter fencing and signage, installation of ornamental and native plant materials and irrigation. Phase 1 A also includes creation of a 2 acre wetland expansion area located beyond the City' s boundary within the County's jurisdiction. Because this area is outside the City's jurisdiction,the County will be applying directly to the California Coastal Commission to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for this area. It should be noted that this is the first of two increments for Phase 1 of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. Other facilities such as the Interpretive Center,restroom facilities and play area which were previously identified in Phase I of the General Development Plan are proposed for construction of Phase 1B. The timing of development of Phase I is uncertain at this point since development will be pursued based upon the availability of funding. However, Phase 1 B is also located within the Coastal Zone, any subsequent development plans will require additional coastal development permit review and approval by the City of Huntington Beach for the areas within the City's jurisdiction. In addition, project components, such as the vista overlook,trails and filling of the gully for the wetlands restoration component are located within the CC-CZ (Conservation-Coastal Zone) and, pursuant to sections 9422.6(b) and 9422.6(f) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code, are subject to Conditional Use Permit approval by the Planning Commission; therefore, Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 in conjunction with Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 is being brought before the City of Huntington Beach Planning Commission for review and approval. 3.0 SURROUNDING LAND USE, ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATIONS: North and East of the Subject Property: County of Orange GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Open Space ZONE: Al (0) (General Agricultural District-Oil Production) LAND USE: Vacant/Oil Field North of the Subject Property: Huntington Beach GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Open Space and Conservation ZONE: RA-O-CZ(Residential Agricultural-Oil Production-Coastal Zone) and CC-CZ • (Conservation-Coastal Zone) LAND USE: Gas Plant Staff Report-2/1/94 -2- (PSCR007) .

All relevant mitigation measures identified in FEIR No. 521 have been provided in Attachment No. 9 and have been incorporated in the recommended conditions of approval. 5.0 COASTAL STATUS: This project is located in both the appealable and non-appealable portions of the Coastal Zone. and is subject to Coastal Development Permit approval by the City for areas within the City's jurisdiction (and the Coastal Commission for portions of the site within the County's jurisdiction). Thirteen(13) acres of Phase I are located within the City's jurisdiction and are being brought before the Planning Commission for final action. Phase 1A also includes creation of a 2 acre wetland enhancement area located beyond the City' s boundary within the County's jurisdiction. Because that area is outside the City's jurisdiction,the County will be applying directly to the California Coastal Commission to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for this area. Prior to any action on Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3, it is necessary for the Planning Commission to review and act on Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28. The proposed project will implement the following policies of the Coastal Element of the General Plan: • Protect, encourage and, where feasible,provide a variety of recreation facilities in the Coastal Zone that provide opportunities for all income groups. • Support recreational facilities in the Bolsa Chica Linear Park that: (a) Emphasize a low intensity character for that portion of the park within the City's coastal zone. (b)-,Locate any higher intensity uses in nodes consistent with adjacent areas. (c) Limit above ground structures to support facilities such as restrooms,picnic tables and bike racks. (d) Site all uses so as to preserve views to the adjacent Bolsa Chica. Staff Report-2/1/94 -3- (PSCR007) Preserve and enhance environmentally sensitive habitats including the Bolsa Chica which is within the sphere of influence of the City of Huntington Beach. Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 may be approved or conditionally approved only after it has been found to be in conformance with the Coastal Element by making the following findings: (a) Land Use Plan. That the development project proposed by the coastal development permit application conforms with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the Coastal Element; (b)` Zoning Regulations. That the coastal development permit application is consistent with the CZ suffix,the base zoning district or specific plan as well as other provisions of the Huntington Beach Ordinance code applicable to the property; (c) Adequate Services. That at the time of occupancy the proposed development can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with C-LUP; and (d) California Coastal Act. That the development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. 6.0 REDEVELOPMENT STATUS: Not applicable. 7.0 SPECIFIC PLAN: Not applicable. 8.0 SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE: Not applicable. 9.0 ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Project Description Phase I is the first phase of development of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park(BCRP). The 13CRP planning area consists of a total of 106 acres, of which approximately 40 acres are located within the City's jurisdiction and approximately 66 acres are located within the unincorporated area of the County. Phase 1 A encompasses a total of 15 acres of which approximately 13 acres fall within the coastal zone in the City of Huntington Beach. The remaining two (2) acres are also located within the coastal zone but lie in the within the unincorporated area of the County and are subject to action by the California Coastal Commission. The general design plans for Phase I are consistent with the General Development Plans (GDP) for the park that the City Council reviewed and approved in concept in October of 1992. A general site plan of the GDP and the Phase I design plans have been provided in Attachments No. 4 and No. 1, respectively. Below is a summary of Phase I general design plan. components. ♦ Parking: Phase I includes a parking lot located along Seapoint Avenue northwest of Seapoint and Palm Avenue intersection. The parking lot will contain approximately 40 Staff Report-2/1/94 -4- (PSCR007) spaces; spaces are proposed to be angled and interior circulation will be restricted to one- way. Parking spaces will be metered to discourage use of the lot as alternative beach parking, as required by mitigation measures of the FEIR. As indicated in the operational guidelines of the GDP, the parking lot will only be open.during daylight hours ( 7:OOAM to 6:00 PM from November 1 through March 31 and 7:OOAM to 6:00 PM from April through October); after hours the lot will be gated and locked to discourage loitering. The lot will al,5o be setback from Seapoint Avenue to provide berming, landscaping and a pedestrian path which will minimize visual impacts to the residents across Seapoint. The City's Traffic Division has reviewed the proposed plans and has indicated that the proposed parking lot will require a new left turn pocket for vehicles traveling northbound on Seapoint Street and recommends that the pocket be designed to prevent U-turns and exiting left turns from the parking lot entryway. The Traffic Division has also recommended that the landscape design provide adequate sight distances at the parking lot egress. (Further discussion on landscaping has been provided below). Both of these have been recommended as conditions of approval. Traffic comments also included some recommendations for the interpretive center which is not a part of this phase;those comments have been transmitted to the County for future consideration. ♦ Entries and Entry Signage: Phase I includes two (2)park entry points. One(1) located approximately at the intersection of Palm and Seapoint Avenues and the other located along Seapoint at the northeastmost point of Phase IA. Textured concrete treatments and entry way signage are proposed to mark these points a s entries into the park. ♦ Vista Overlook: Phase 1A includes an open platform/deck style vista overlook with benches and interpretive signage to provide opportunities to view and learn about the Bolsa Chica. ♦ Bicycle/Pedestrian Paths: Phase IA includes bicycle/pedestrian paths that will loop through the Phase 1 A area and later will connect on to subsequent phase trails proposed within the park;the park trail system will ultimately provide a contiguous trail system from Huntington Central Park to Pacific Coast Highway(PCH). However, at this time trails only provide bicycle and pedestrian circulation through the Phase 1 A area. No horse trails or contiguous trail system from Central Park to PCH is provided in Phase IA. ♦ Picnic Areas: Phase I includes two small picnic areas consisting of approximately one (1)to four(4)tables; no barbecue or picnic shelter facilities are proposed. ♦ Security Lighting and Fencing:Phase 1A includes security lighting along bicycle/pedestrian paths. Lighting will be provided within the park to facilitate after-dark security and surveillance and to deter undesirable night time activity; lighting will just be for security purposes and will not be of sufficient intensity to encouraging night time use of the park. Lighting structures will be low in height and lighting will be directed toward paths to prevent light and glare impacts on the surrounding residences and habitat areas. Phase 1 A also includes perimeter fencing to discourage access to the developed areas of the park,the nature transition zones and wetlands expansion area of Phase IA. Staff Report-2/1/94 -5- (PSCR007) ♦ Planting and Irrigation System: Phase lA proposes a plant palette which is intended to be consistent with the low intensity uses and natural setting of the park. The City's Division of Park,Trees and Landscape has reviewed the proposed plant palette and has concerns about several plant species that have a history of maintenance or growth problems in the coastal zone climate and has recommended a list of more appropriate species that have been successful in the harsh conditions of the coastal zone. Removal of the problematic species from the plant palette and substitution of a more appropriate alternative from the City's plant list has been recommended as a condition of approval. Although the precise location of plant materials can only be determined in the field once grading has been completed and planting is underway, the County has worked with the Bolsa Chica Regional Park Citizens Advisory Committee and the surrounding homeowners associations to insure that the placement and distribution of trees will preserve the views of adjacent residents (as required by mitigation measures in FEIR No. 521). Phase 1 A also includes irrigation lines which will be able to connect on to the Green Acres (reclaimed water) system one the system is operational in the area(also required by mitigation measures in FEIR No. 521). ♦ Extension of the Golf Course Drainage Pipe/Filling of the Drainage Gully and Creation of a Wetland Enhancement Area: The Phase I area includes a drainage gully which presently conveys runoff from the Seacliff Golf Course to the Bolsa Chica lowlands and contains approximately 0.25 acres of freshwater-adapted-arroyo willow(as identified in FEIR No. 521). The gully is deep and eroded and runs through the mid-section of the usable park area where the more active park uses are anticipated to occur. Preservation of the gully would greatly reduce the usable park area and was considered a potential hazard to park users due to its proximity to the open play areas. To eliminate the hazard, Phase 1 of the GDP included extension of the existing drainage pipe, filling of the existing eroded drainage gully and creation of the a wetlands expansion area at the new outlet of the drainage pipe. In compliance with the GDP and FEIR, the general design plans for Phase 1 A includes the following: (a) Extension of the drainage pipe approximately 130 feet to the north to maintain golf course drainage to the Bolsa Chica lowland; extension of the pipeline will be phased to preserve existing drainage to the golf course as required by mitigation in FEIR No. 521. (b) Filling of the eroded drainage gully. Filling of the gully will involve an estimated 15, 000 cubic yards of fill to establish a more level and secure usable park area. Staff Report-2/1/94 -6- (PSCR007) �T (c) Creation of an approximately 2 acre wetland expansion area. The expansion area will be located at the new outfall of the golf course drainage pipe which lies beyond the City's boundary. The wetlands expansion area is required to comply with mitigation for fill of the drainage gully. The wetlands expansion area will be located closer to the lowland and will be buffered from the more active areas of the park by a native transition zone. The buffer is expected to reduce the potential for disturbances to wildlife activities that would be present at the existing gully location. The County has been working with the Army Corps and Department of Fish and Game regarding the proposed fill and wetlands enhancement area and will be subject to permitting through those agencies (as stated in FEIR No. 521). Analysis: The County is requesting approval of the Coastal Development Permit for the general design plans for the portion of Phase lA that is located within the City. Section 989.5.4(G)(6) of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code states that a coastal development permit may be approved by the Planning Commission if the project is in conformance with the City's Local Coastal Program and make the findings specified in Section 5.0 Coastal of this report. LUP, Zoning Regulations and California Coastal Act The BCRP is identified in the Coastal Element of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan; Phase I of the BCRP is consistent with the goals and policies of Coastal Element and the -CZ (Coastal Zone) suffix, which include public access and public recreation provisions and are consistent with Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act, and CC (Conservation) and ROS-O (Recreation Open Space-Oil) base zoning district provisions. These have been summarized in Section 3.6.2 of the General Plan, which supports development of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park, and Articles 969, 942 and 941 of the Huntington Beach Zoning code, respectively and primarily concern the implementation of compatible low intensity uses; a continuous trail system from Huntington Beach Central Park to the beach along the perimeter of the Bolsa Chica, public access and preservation of views. Phase I includes components which comply with all of the Coastal Element policies of the general plan. A summary of zoning code provisions has been provided in the zoning conformance matrix below: Section Issue Required Proposed 969.9.5 Public Access Access to recreational Park is a public areas. recreational facility. 969.9.6 Visual Resources Preservation of public Park provides ' views to ocean and enhanced view while wetland areas. restricting tree and plant material distribution to ; minimize - obstr fictions to'views.

Provision of Adequate Services Phase 1 A consists of minimal structures, none of which are designed for human occupancy or would require substantial additional infrastructure improvements such as sewer or utility improvements. All utility improvements required to serve Phase 1 A (such as utility and water connections) are proposed to be constructed as part of this phase. Plans were circulated to the Police, Fire, Public Works and Community Services Departments for comments. Comments were received from Fire, Public Works, Traffic, Park Trees and Landscape and have been provided at Attachments No. 5,No. 6,No. 7, and No. 8, respectively. The comments from the Fire Department regarding installation of fire hydrants have been postponed to a later phase (Phase 1 B)where occupied structures are included. Comments from Public Works pertain to obtaining,encroachment permits for work on Seapoint Street, and grading permits;the issue of whether the County is subject to grading permits through the City of Huntington Beach is being determined by the City Attorney's Office. Both Public Works comments have been included as conditions of approval. Comments from the Traffic and Park Trees and Landscape Divisions have been summarized under the project description of each related park development component. Staff Report-2/1/94 -9- (PSCR007) 119 Other Issues Phase 111 PlayArea--Incorporation Gas Plant Structures/Equipment: Althou h not • Pg included as part of this phase,the County is looking into the possibility of maintaining some of the adjoining gas plant equipment and/or structures to be cleaned-up, decoratively painted and incorporated to provide an additional oil related "interpretive" quality to the proposed play area. Under Development Agreement 90-1 between the City of Huntington Beach and Seacliff Partners, owners of the property that the gas plant is located on, the site is required to be cleaned- up and dedicated to the City of Huntington Beach by December 31, 1994. the Development Agreement states that land will be free and clear of oil and gas equipment; any deviation would require an amendment to the Development Agreement. The County has indicated that preservation of any of the oil structures or equipment will make clean-up more difficult but would not reduce the clean-up obligations of Shell,the gas plant operator, and may not be able to be pursued if it will result in a violation of the property owner's responsibilities under the Development Agreement. At a January 12, 1994,joint meeting with the Allied Arts Board, Historic Resources Board and Community Services Commission,the County presented the general concept for incorporation of the gas plant structures/equipment. The County received the unanimous support of the Boards and Commission, to pursue incorporation of the structures and equipment and is looking further into this issue. If pursued it will be brought back before the City through joint meetings with Allied Arts Board, Historic Resources Board and Community Services Commission, review by the Bolsa Chica Regional Park CAC and finally through processing of Phase 1 B design plans. Summary The general design plans for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park have been prepared by the County of Orange with consideration for community concerns and are consistent with the General Development Plan reviewed and recommended for approval by the City Council in. October of 1992. The general design plans also implement the mitigation measures required for development of the park under FEIR No. 521 for the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. As indicated in this report. the plans protect and enhance public access opportunities to the Bolsa Chica while minimizing safety hazards and disturbances to wildlife activities and are consistent with the goals and policies of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Zoning Code. 10.0 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Coastal Development Permit No. 93- 28 and Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 with the following findings and suggested conditions of approval: FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93-4: 1.

The regional park will attract visitors from the local area as well as the broader countywide community. The park is proximate to residential landuse to the east and south, and the Bolsa Chica Wetlands to the west and north. The subject of this Coastal Development Permit application is Phase IA of the park project. Phase I consists of approximately 47 acres; Phase IA (the first increment of Phase I) includes 15 acres. Phase IA includes: two park entries with signage; a 40-car parking lot with parking meters, a vista overlook With interpretive signage, perimeter fencing with signage, park security lighting, two informal picnic areas, pedestrian/bicycle trails, a wetland enhancement area, ornamental and native planting, and irrigation. Construction of equestrian trails is not a part of this first increment. The wetland enhancement area will include an approximate 2 acre parcel adja- cent the City boundary line (see Site Location Map). Because this portion of Phase IA is outside the city's jurisdiction, a Coastal Development Permit from the California Coastal Commission will be obtained for this area. Other facilities such as a restroom, an interpretive Center and a play area are shown as part of Phase I, and are proposed for construction as Fhase IB. When funding becomes available, we will request permits for these improvements.

This park is a result of a process that originated in 1975 with the City's request that the County develop a regional park along the Huntington Mesa, connecting Central Park to Bolsa Chica State Beach. Per attached Agreement dated November 27, 1979, the City agreed among other things to: 1) participate in securing land for the park; 2) provide police and fire protection; 3) reimburse the County for utility hook-ups and 4) cooperate fully in the planning and implementation of the park. The County has agreed, among other things to: 1) prepare and obtain approval of a General Development Plan for park improvements; 2) construct, operate and maintain the park at its expense and 3) process construction documents through the County for plan check, building permit requirements and construction inspection. In preparing the General Development Plan-, the County has worked closely with the City and the Citizens Advisory Committee. The General Development Plan was approved by the City Council in October 1992.- In order to-proceed with implementation of the General Development Plan, the County is preparing construction documents for Phase IA, a 15 acre section of the park. Of the 15 acres, 13 acres is in the- city`s jurisdiction. A Coastal Development Permit is required from the City and (for the two acres in unincorporated territory) from the Coastal Commission.

The landscape design for the site must assure that adequate sight distances are provided for vehicles exiting the parking lot. This issue is eliminated if access is developed as described in the preceding paragraph. We noticed the design for the Interpretive Center parking includes a bus parking bay that would discharge passengers into the driveway area, rather than onto a sidewalk area. There appear to be opportunities for passenger drop-off and pick-up by buses on that site that would provide a greater degree of safety for both passengers and vehicles circulating in the parking area.

Smith, Superintendent, Park, Tree & Landscape ' DATE: December 30, 1993 SUBJECT: PHASE 1A G.D.P. FOR THE BOLSA CHICA REGIONAL PARK We have reviewed the subject plans and have comments as follows: Existing Gas Plant/Facilities as a feature in the Park The Development Agreement by and between the City of Huntington Beach and Pacific Coast Homes and Garfield Partners as recorded November 14, 1990, contains Developer Obligations, two of which directly influence the Gas Plant/Facility proposal, as found on page 11. of the Development Agreement, under - Developer Obligations 2.2 of Section 2. - Development of the Property, subsection 2.2.1 Linear Park (a) 6), the Shell gas plant must be removed no later than December 31, 1994. Also under this,subsection, article (b) it states as follows: (b) The surface of all dedicated land shall be granted free and clear of any oil and gas related producing equipment owned or directly controlled by Developer or its affiliates. Oil and gas wells, underground pipelines and transmission lines no longer in use shall be abandoned in compliance with the State of California Division of Oil and Gas standards. All remaining functional pipelines shall be buried no less than 48" below present grade and shall be identified in easements. Any contaminated soils shall be cleaned, processed or disposed of in accordance with all local, county, state and federal laws, regulations and ordinances. In the event the cost for clean-up of the Property to be dedicated exceeds $20,000,000 in the aggregate, Developer may offer to dedicate, in lieu of further dedication identified in 2.2.1(a)1-T, comparable property within the Master Planned boundaries of Huntington Central Park. The value of comparable alternative property to be dedicated shall be based on the current value of low density residential acreage within the Property., A combination of comparable Central Park �7 0 • property and park improvement costs of equivalent value may be considered. In the event the City does not accept the alternative above, the Developer will be subject to the provisions of the City's Park Acquisition and Development Ordinance. It appears the above obligations would require an amendment to the Development Agreement in order that the G.D.P. proposal for the Park be implemented. Should the D.A. be amended to allow for this proposal we would not recommend that the entire building be saved. We believe the historic relevance of this facility is very significant to the entire area and specifically to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. The discovery, production, transmission and refining of oil, degraded the Bolsa Chica wetlands and now with the reclamation of the wetlands and development of the Park, it would be very educational to provide elements in the park which tell the story of these milestones. However, we believe a few major pieces of equipment, aerial photos, enlarged photographs, maps displayed in kiosks along with other documents showing and describing the oil recovery and transmission from the offshore ocean oil islands, Bolsa Chica oil field and surrounding oil fields, related to the Gas Plant and oil operations of the area, would be far more acceptable and less intrusive to the area. The county proposal to provide this history as an educational element and as an art form is an excellent proposal. Please note that this particular overall zone and exposure is very harsh on plant materials. Trees and other plant material are susceptible to salt spray, sand blasting and prevailing winds. In addition to the difficult soil conditions and other adverse environmental impacts, these three hardships play havoc with most trees. This is why very few trees grow naturally in this area. With this in mind, the selection is truly limited. Platanus racemosa will be a constant/costly maintenance problem with natural diseases requiring spraying pesticides continuously, to no avail. Pinus coulteri is questionable and not recommended this close to the water as it normally only grows above 4,000 feet elevation. • Pinus torreyana should be held back from the leading edge of plantings to lessen the wind impact. Eucalyptus sideroxylon is too weak in windy conditions due to it's branching habits. Liquidamber do not tolerate the high sodium and chlorates generally found in these soils. Special soil preparation would be required. Pinus canariensis and Halepensis growth habits cause an abundance of needle drop and little will grow under them. Also they are plagued with Red Spider Mites requiring substantial pesticide spraying. Populus nigra 'Italica' - Invasive, uplifting root system. Extremely long dormant period even in warmer Southern California zones - not a solid tree to use. Eucalyptus in general are very shallow rooters and cause intense amounts of litter to fall on surrounding landscapes. Very little if anything will grow under Eucalyptus and weak trees invite the Eucalyptus Longhorn Beetle which as yet has no predator. Almost all trees and shrubs will have limited growth on the Bolsa Chica exposure, causing a wind blown/lopsided growth.appearance. Most native shrubs and ground covers if not commercially available (which varies greatly due to demand) should be contract grown. Ideally the materials should be gathered during the growing season which begins in late February. Slower growing items need 6 months to 1 year for 1 gallon size, 1 year to 18 months for 5 gallon size and 18 months to 30 months for 15 gallon sizes. With the idea of repeating some of what exists on site and in the area enough time should be allowed for contract growing to be realistic, which means advanced planning, an inventory of existing materials, seed and cuttings gathered, advance fees paid to the contract growing nursery and an accurate, quantified list of types of materials with proposed container sizes to be the targeted goal for this process. Based on the requirements of most all native plant material as well as other ornamentals including hydroseeding, liners, and other container grown material, it will be difficult to establish these without protection. We recommend that all plantings be protected from people for a minimum of 1 year with a temporary chain link fence around the total site. Native plants • • especially, are tender and slower growing than other ornamentals and this area will probably receive a similar amount of abuse as did Blufftop landscape area where we lost 75% of all shrubs and ground covers. If not adequately protected natives will have little chance to establish. The City required chain link (rent-a-fence) around Huntington Central Park for one full year and this protection from the public use was the main reason for the abundance of growth of all ground covers, plants and trees. Selected view shed areas need to be protected. Materials should be located so as not to block views of the ocean, Catalina Island, sunsets, etc.. Most all the trees selected can block these views so the spacing between them is critical. Spacing should be based on the ultimate tree size when determining location and massing. This will allow more spaces between trees while they are growing and as they mature their structures can be lifted to allow for views under them. In other areas wide open expanses of low, maintainable ground cover shrubs and ground cover plantings should be used to maintain vistas. An additional concern we have, is the unstable bluff line slopes of this project area. The physical properties of the soil along the bluff, vary substantially, from clay type to sand/gravel, all of which will be a challenge to stabilize. The sand/gravel deposits specifically, should be graded so as not to provide areas where children can dig into the slope face and be caught in a cave in condition.

Project-related grading activities shall be monitored and if necessary prohibited uring the nesting season(i.e., early spring and early summer)to eliminate any potential impacts to the nearby wildlife habitat. Prior to initiation of grading, Harbors, Beaches, Parks shall prepare appropriate stormwater • pollution control plans related to the site's structural and non-structural Best Management Practices for compliance with the 1990 National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Regulations. The project shall incorporate urban Best Management Practices((BMPs)to minimize construction an urban pollutants in storm water runoff. These measures may include but are not limited to the following. 79-81 Landform/Hydrology A. Construction BMPs Continued 1. Sediment Traps - Sandbags shall be plaed at all locaitons where excavated soils may be eroded and carried to storm drain inlets by the runoff. Sandbag sediment traps shall also be placed at storm drain inlets to trap low flow suspended sediments. 2. Litter Control - Adequate dumpsters and litter removal programs shall be provided to control litter generated during construction. Litter includes but is not limited to fuels, oil, masonry, and other construction wastes. 3. Worker Training -.Construction superintendents shall supervise all construction P P activities to reduce storm water runoff pollutants using the techniques described above. B. Structural BMPs The following BMPs will be incorporated into a formal BMP plan prior to initiation of grading. 1. Water Quality Inlets- Water quality inlets as currently designed appear to have low to moderate removal rates for particulate pollutants and low to zero rates for soluble pollutants. However, they show some effectiveness in removing oil, gas, and grease. These inlets or other BMPs are shown to have equal or greater effectiveness will be designed for the parking area downdrains. • 2. .Oil and Grease Traps - A wid earray of hydrocarbon compounds are containe in oil and grease, and exportds of this material are highest in the runoff from parking lots and roads. Oil/water separators are somewhat effective in reducing low-flow oil contaminants resulting from high frequency storms. Oil/grease/grit traps, oil/water separators or other BMPs shown to have equal or greater effectiveness will be build at all new inlets. 79-81 Landform/Hydrology - C. Post-Construction and Non-Construction BMPs Continued 1) Routine storm drain cleaning 2) Routine cleaning of oil/water separators 3) Routine cleaning of oil/grease traps 4) Regular sweeping of parking lots and streets 93 Cultural/Paleontology Prior to approval of the grading plan, a test-level investigation of all noted sites, with the exception o CA-Ora-290, which has totally been destroyed, shall be conducted by an archaeologist who meets the qualifications of the County of Orange approved list of • archaeological consultants. The investigation shall include subsurface testing of deposits through auger holes and test pits to determine vertical depth,horizontal distribution, and internal complexity of the cultural deposit. Subsurface investigations shall comply with appropriate local, state and federal guidelines for Native American involvement and be acceptable to the Manager, Harbors, Beaches, Parks/Program Planning Division. Based on the results of the test-level investigation, a comprehensive archaeological resource management program acceptable to the Director, Harbors, Beaches and Parks shall be submitted by an archaeologist who meets the qualifications of the County of Orange approved list of archaeological subconsultants which shall include such requirements as further analysis of sites,resource recovery or in situ preservation. Measures to protect resources in areas proposed as open space will also be included. The program shall be implemented according to a schedule which conforms to the proposed phasing of development. Additional recommendations may be made upon completion of test-level investigation or at the professional discretion of the consulting archaeologist conducting the test-level work. 93 Cultural/Paleontology If fossil vertebrates are observed during any future earthmoving activities, the Director, Continued Harbors, Beaches and Parks shall be notified and the site shall be inspected by a qualified vertebrate paleontologist to determine their significance. If the vertebrate remains are deemed important,then increased monitoring and collecting time is warranted. ! i ! 99-100 Biology Prior to issuance of grading permits, the Harbors, Beaches, Parks/design Division shall prepare detailed grading plans for the filling of the erosional drainage gully in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to determine any permit requirements of the project. Should portions of the drainage gully require filling in conjunction with development of the park, provisions shall be designed by Harbors, Beaches and Parks for maintaining the current flow,via underground pipe, and should be included in the site plan and additional wetland habitat shall be established at the base of the gully to mitigate any habitat.loss. Prior to approval of the.grading plan,a qualified biologist shall submit a detailed management plan as outlined in the Bolsa Chica Regional Park Resource Management .Plan to Harbors, Beaches and Parks for review and approval. The plan shall specify management guidelines for the implementation and maintenance of park landscaping/vegetative habitat zones to ensure the provision of adequate foraging areas for the various raptor species anticipated onsite. The landscape plan shall ensure the implementation of native vegetative•landscaping within the park, including coastal sage scrub, and, where feasible, riparian vegetation. Barriers to wetland areas shall be included in the landscape plan and implemented with • project construction to the satisfaction of the California Department of Fish and Game. Subsequent to the development of more detailed design levels of planning for the project and prior to issuance of grading permits, a qualified biologist shall evaluate relocation needs for existing burrowing owls onsite and specify recommendations for the management plan. V` 102 Police Protection The County of Orange and the City of Huntington Beach shall coordinate to ensure adequate police protection and service for the park facility. 104 Fire Protection Prior to approval of each phase,the Huntington Beach Fire Department shall review and confirm that appropriate emergency access and fire protection is available for park development. 108 Water Usage Harbors, Beaches and Parks shall consult with the City of Huntington Beach Public Works Department with regard to water system demands to coordinate project phasing with anticipated city infrastructural improvements to both potable and reclaimed water facilities. complete landscape and irrigation plans shall be prepared in consultation with the City of • Huntington Beach. The following mitigation measures which reduce water use through conservation shall be employed: All irrigation should be provided through a reclaimed water system as feasible. Irrigation systems which minimize water waste shall be used to the greatest extent possible. Utilize drought-tolerant grasses if lawns are to.be used. Use pervious paving material whenever feasible to reduce surface runoff and aid in ground water recharge. • Control Slopes and grades to discourage water waste through runoff. Use only drought-tolerant, low-water demand species. Use of mulch extensively in all landscaped areas where appropriate is strongly recommended. 108 Water Usage Continued All water conservation measures as required by state law and plumbing code shall be required, including by not limited to low-flush toilets, low flow showers and faucets, hot water line insulation and low-water using appliances, if applicable. 117-118 Health and Safety Prior to the County's acceptance of land dedication within the park, a thorough inspection of the property shall be conducted by qualified subconsultants for the City of Huntington Beach and County of Orange to ensure that any hazardous substances and materials have been removed and that the property meets the standards of the California Bureau of Mines and Geology,the City of Huntington Beach, and the County of Orange for a"clean and safe" site. Appropriate signage,landscaping and fencing shall be incorporated into project landscape plans to ensure public safety near bluff edges. Prior to approval of final development plans for each phase of the park, Harbors, Beaches and Parks shall prepare detailed,plans which identify appropriate security fencing and buffering measures to prevent public accessibility to oil and gas production facilities. 121 Aesthetics Harbors, Beaches and Parks shall prepare in consultation with the-City of-Huntington Beach plans to ensure preservation of ocean views for adjacent residents. i J • ATTACHMENT NO. 10 ALTERNATIVE FINDINGS FOR DENIAL COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO, 93-28/ CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-3: FINDINGS FOR DENIAL- COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-28/ CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-3: 1.

(PSCR007) • 3D Edmund J. & Jennie L. Sakowicz 19305 Champion Lane Huntington Beach, California 92648 (714) 960-0809 February 2, 1994 Planning Commission City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Dear Members of the Planning Commission, We watched your February 1, 1994 meeting with interest and wish to express our views regarding the Regional Park. As you see from our address, we are residents of SeaCliff on the Greens and have a deep concern in this project. Of the points brought up in this meeting, the following are our comments: 1. Seapoint Avenue continuing to Pacific Coast Highway: We welcome the completion of that project. It is apparent that Palm Avenue should not be the only exit artery for the homes now under construction adjacent to the SeaCliff on the Greens community. However, we have serious concerns regarding traffic on Seapoint Avenue. It has become a speedway and the boulevard stop sign located at the junction of Seapoint and Palm is virtually ignored by nine of ten motorists. They either barrel right around the corner without stopping, or slow down to half speed and proceed. The most flagrant violators are the construction people working in the adjacent housing project. 2. The Proposed Parking Lot close to the juncture of Seapoint And Palm: Move it to the area opposite the Cherryhill entrance into SeaCliff on the Greens. The residents deserve the view that they paid for. 3. The Gully. Fill it in. It is an eyesore and lends nothing to the aesthetics of the project. Even a fence around it would eventually fall into the abyss with each succeeding rainstorm. It is a product of the golf course runoff and will never be anything other than just that. And, have you ever seen a fence that little kids can't go under, or climb over? AT. ACHMENT NO. � � y 4. Vegetation and Foliage: Determine first if this is to be a park or a wildlife refuge. If a park, plant it as a park, using good sense in the inclusion of plants and shrubs. Trees should not be a norm, since they would compromise the views of the adjoining community. However, the project should lend itself to the area by proper maintenance. If this is determined to be a wildlife refuge, save the taxpayers a bundle of money and leave it as is, only with inclusion of pathways and trails. In our observation of the native plants common to this type of environment, there is nothing aesthetic about the plant life that now exists. Most of it might be green during the few Springtime months and DEAD during the rest of the year. Let's be practical. These are our views and are offered only as we would have presented them had we had been present. We appreciate the work you are doing on the Commission and offer our best wishes. Sometimes it can be a thankless job, still one that must be carried out. Very truly yours, _ f r /yH?ic� Edmund J. Sakowicz %' Jennie n ie L. Sakowicz zoo FROM:EMA-H.B.D.

The County has conducted a series of public input sessions concerning bark design during the last several years. I attempted to get our homeowner association (Seacliff Club Series) active in this process but was told by Al De 1.,oran, based on legal counsel, the association should not take a stand but mearly pass information, I agreed to monitor the meeUngs, since my condo faces the park. I have prepared and delivered 4 flyers concerning the park, the extension of Seapointe and Surfcrest North to the neighbor condo owners (at my expense). I retained two law firms to facilitate and counsel with our group during ieetings at my house concerning the extension of Seapointe and the S urfrrest North development, again at my expense. Unfortunately, the Club Series Association Board was unable to attend this meeting. The County has continued to work with all horneowners by holding meetings at my home and their offices. These meetings addressed-plant »material, location of trees, lighting, etc. The Club .Series Association (.1bairman was advised of these meetings on his answering machine, but did not receive the message until after our meeting. I want to make several added points. The first is the County Staff, Mr, Fisher, Mr. Thomas, Ms. Stets and Mr. Turner have gone to great length addressing our concerns and helped us all, County, City and individual luwnicowners (each with different thoughts on the various elements) to achieve a compromise we can all live with. My second point is this park design has been a collaborative process conducted over the last three years that I have been involved. Many meetings have been conducte6 iU � Q �� W w FROM:EMP-H.B.D.

Mayor and City Council FEB 2 8 7994 City of Huntington Beach EEF�rihl^Elz ` 2000 Main Street COMMUNITY �?r Huntington Beach, CA 92648 �E����� ENT Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council , I am writing regarding the linear park proposed along the wetlands and Seapoint Avenue. My residence borders Seapoint and overlooks the site. Last night, representatives from the County explained the plan to residents of the SeaCliff community. Generally, I approve of the plan, but there are two issues that I ask you to carefully consider before your approval : the location of parking lots , and the turf grass proposed for most of the area. Residents along Seapoint paid a premium for their homesites. A parking lot would not only affect our view and property value, but also is incompatible with habitat for wildlife . A parking lot will provide a nuisance to our neighborhood - an eyesore full of asphalt, light standards, parking meters and berms; and a policing problem. Since a parking lot is planned for the interpretive center, all parking should be concentrated at that location, thereby reducing negative impacts on the balance of the site and away from residents . Turf grass and an irrigation system will change the character of the site, make it uninviting for wildlife, and present a costly maintenance problem. The park site is unique. Don't try to make it look like other parks in the County. The park can be enjoyed by humans from trails, and wildlife can still live in the natural grasses without being harassed by lawnmowers or killed by fertilizers. Thank you for your consideration of these comments. Paul E.

Phase IA Dear Mr. Fisher: This letter is to clarify an important issue brought out at the Huntington Beach Planning Commission hearing on February 1, 1994 on the Coastal Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit for Phase IA. The question was raised in Planning Commission discussion regarding whether approval of Phase IA would have any negative impact on the eventual implementation of the planned equestrian trail. There was an implication in part of the discussion that approval of Phase IA could cloud the future of the equestrian trail Since this is a matter of considerable concern to the equestrian community,we have talked with members of your staff to clarify the situation. In discussions with Denny Turner and Jenny Stets, I have been advised that Phase IA simply excludes the territory in which the equestrian trail would eventually be located. It is my understanding that nothing involved in Phase lA would affect the equestrian trail implementation adopted in the General Development Plan for this park. Corral 100 of Equestrian Trails,Inc.,would like this understanding to be a part of the record in taking action on Phase 1A. For that reason,this letter is being copied to the Huntington Beach Planning Commission so it can be brought to their attention at their continued hearing on March 1, 1994. 1 would appreciate it if you would affirm the understanding described above at the March 1 hearing. Thank you for the continued support by you and your staff in implementing this important recreational resource.

We believe that the regional park offers a number of benefits that will enhance the quality of life in our city. This plan has already undergone a great deal of scrutiny by the city, the county and the citizens of Huntington Beach . It is a good plan , a reasonable plan, and we believe it should be implemented without further delay. On behalf of the Board of Directors, and the membership at large, we urge you to take whatever steps are necessary to resolve the current issues surrounding the Bolsa Chica Regional Park and assist in its expeditious approval.

Murray, Ph.D. 17461 Skyline Lane Huntington Beach, CA 92647 (714) 848-5394 2/1/94 Huntington Beach Planning Commission 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA re: Problems with and Recommendations for the Linear Park Plan Dear Commissioners: I am a member of the Society of Wetland Scientists and Society for Ecological Restoration, and the Research Director of the Bolsa Chica Conservancy. I have worked on several wetlands restoration projects, published wetlands research, and attended many scientific wetlands Conferences. The proposed fill of the gully area is not a wetlands creation project; it is a restoration and enhancement project in some versions and a wetlands destruction project in other versions. Freshwater wetland habitat already exists on site and consists of a riparian corridor plus a freshwater marsh which grades into a contiguous brackish marsh. This project proposes to fill the upper portion of the riparian corridor and enhance.the lower part of the corridor. The extent of fill and the manner in which the project is done are my chief concerns. Freshwater marsh and riparian corridors are rare in southern California and the Linear Park project provides a good opportunity to expand these valuable habitats. Overall, this seems to be a good project, but there are some problems with the plan, all correctable. I have attached a list of recommendations. Sincerely, Louann W. Murray, Ph.D. C 2 Problems: 1. Acreage for enhancement project cited in document language does not agree with areas shown on map. Is area to be filled only 0.25 acres? Is area to be enhanced really 2 acres? On the map, the area that is to be filled is nearly equal to the area to be enhanced. What will really happen? 2. Salt water habitat restorations are far simpler and more successful than freshwater restorations.- Published studies show that 95% of freshwater restorations fail due to inattention to hydrology and poor monitoring. Either the plantings die or they are overgrown with undesirable plants. 3. The proposed plant pallet contains too many inappropriate non-native plants. Iceplant and-pampas grass are invasive non-native plants that Fish-and Game and the - Bolsa Chica Conservancy have spent the past 4 years trying to remove from the wetlands. 4. Proposed areas of native plantings.are too limited. 5. The trees proposed for the park will eliminate views and provide perches for raptors. Raptors will prey on the least terns on the nearby South Tern Island. Recommendations: FOR THE GULLY 1. Extend outfall pipe no farther than 130 feet. 2. Fill only the upper part of the gully where the extended outfall pipe will lie (130 feet of linear fill, not 290 feet as shown on 11/30/93 map). 3. Smooth the contours of the remainder of the gully but.do not fill the lower part of the gully. This will enhance the beauty of the site and provide increased safety. 4. Determine accurately the area which is to be enhanced. It should extend from the relocated outfall (which will be only 130 feet farther than its present location) to the fence which bounds the current fresh water marsh.at the bottom of the gully. It is unlikely that this riparian area will be greater than 1.3 acres due to the low amount of water that flows down the ravine. 5. Plant transition native plants between riparian area and remainder of park to act as a buffer. Total restored/enhanced area in Phase 1A should encompass a minimum of 2 acres. 6. Use only native plants in the riparian restoration/enhancement project. 3 7. Provide supplemental watering for five years until plantings in enhanced area are well established. Decrease then discontinue supplemental watering over the five year period. 8. Establish a five year monitoring program to assess growth and health of the plantings. Monitor the area monthly for the first year, quarterly for the next two years, and biannually for the final two years. Take corrective action if plants are unhealthy or if undesirable plants are growing. Both the riparian restoration project and the native plantings will need to be monitored, watered, and hand-weeded until they are established. This is crucial to the success of the project. 9. Fence the restored project area (riparian habitat plus native plant buffer zone) to protect plantings, protect wildlife, and provide public safety. Also fence off native plant areas until they are established. FOR THE PHASE 1A PROJECT 10. Avoid construction during nesting season (April - August). Avocets (about 30 pairs), black-necked stilts (about 50 pairs), red-winged blackbirds, and other birds nest in the marsh at the end of the gully. California Least terns nest nearby on South Tern Island. (Check with Fish and Game to see if they would be impacted.) 11. Use local stock for replanting whenever possible. (Collect seeds from whatever native plants can be found on either the Huntington Mesa, Bolsa Chica mesa, or Newport Back Bay; either box the willow trees which are presently on the site or establish cuttings from these trees before they are removed.) 12. Eliminate iceplant and pampas grass and other invasive non-natives from the plant .palette. Use only native trees and shrubs throughout entire-.Linear Park, limiting use of non-natives to ground covers. 13. Use a mixture of at least 30% native plantings and 70% non-native plantings throughout Phase 1A. All trees and shrubs should be native. Other phases should have a higher ratio of native to non-native plantings. Confine non-native plantings to areas of intense public use (picnic areas, pathways). Even these areas can be interplanted with attractive natives such as lemonade berry, toyon, deerweed, mallow, wooly blue curls, coreopsis, yarrow, poppy, blue-eyed grass, lupine, penstemon, etc. Deerweed and horehound are natives presently growing in the linear park but not-listed by the county. What other natives have they overlooked? Use only native plantings on slopes and areas adjacent to lowlands (later phase). Finished project should resemble the natural vegetation on the uplands at Newport Back Bay and Batiquitos Lagoon rather than the grassy lawn and trees at Mile Square Park. This is the coast of southern California, not the midwest! 14. Confine tree plantings to limited areas. Plant trees only around areas of heavy public use such as picnic areas, interpretive center, and roadway, and in the riparian corridor. Consult Fish and Game about tall trees and raptor problems. This 4 park may not be an appropriate area for trees except along the restored riparian corridor. 15. Establish burrowing owl habitat on slopes in Phase IA to provide a space for the owls now living in the area that is scheduled to be developed in Phase 2 (near helipad). New plantings should be well established before disrupting owl habitat. b�A B. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS B-1 COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-28/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-2 (CONTINUED FROM THE FEBRUARY 15. 1994 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING): APPLICANT: Orange County Environmental Management Agency (Harbors, Beaches and Parks Division) LOCATION: 5801 Seapoint Avenue (west side of Seapoint Avenue between Palm and Garfield). Conditional Use Permit No:94-3 and Coastal Development Permit-No. 93-28-were continued at the February 15, 1994 meeting to allow the Orange County Harbors, Beaches and Parks additional time to look into issues and suggestions brought up at the February 1, 1994, Public Hearing. Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 in conjunction with Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 represent a request by the County of Orange to review and approve the general design plans for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. Phase 1 A consists of development of a forty (40) space parking lot, two park entry points with signage, a vista overlook with interpretive signage, bicycle/pedestrian trails, two picnic areas, security lighting;perimeter fencing and signage, installation of ornamental and native plant materials and irrigation. Phase I also includes creation of a wetland enhancement area located beyond the City' s boundary within the County's jurisdiction. Because this area is outside the City's jurisdiction, the County will be applying directly to the California Coastal Commission to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for this area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the request because it is consistent with the General Development Plan and Environmental Impact Report that were conceptually approved by the Huntington Beach City Council in October of 1992 and Orange County Board of Supervisors in November 1992 and conforms with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the City's Local Coastal Program Staff from the Orange County Department of Harbours, Beaches and Parks gave a presentation to the Commission. The Commission discussed with County and City staff the suggested alternative location for the parking lot. They considered the negative and positive of each location, and asked that the public speakers declare which location is satisfactory to them during the public hearing. T 1AVH ENT NO, PC Minutes-3/1/94 3 (p=002) THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Buck Marrs, 19265 Archfield Circle, adjacent resident stated that he was opposed to the alternative parking lot locations No. 1, 2 and 3. He stated that he preferred parking lot alternative No. 5. He also stated that he would prefer the park to remain at least 90% natural. Jan D. Vandersloot, 8101 Newman, Suite C, Bolsa Chica Land Trust, spoke in support of retaining the gully, and use of all natural vegetation. Leigh Esposito, 6141 Morningside Drive, Seacliff Estates, read into the record a letter from her father. Mr. Esposito stated his opposition to the interpretive center, and stated that the park should remain 100%passive. Jacqueline Geier-Lahti, 17192 Lynn, stated her concern regarding the presence of Native American artifacts that may be present on the bluff. She was concerned that the EIR had not addressed what would become of said artifacts, if found. Greg Herder, 6461 Oakcrest Circle, stated he wanted to the park to retain its natural vegetation. He also stated that alternative parking locations No. 3 and 4 were acceptable, but parking along Seapointe Avenue would be the best. Marcia Hanscom, 19276 Torrey Pines Circle, concerned with archeological issues and the possibility of destroying more wetlands. Mike Jones, 19267 Archfield, stated he would prefer to see parking on Seapoint Avenue, with:one side red curbed. Jean Kimbrell, 17192 Englewood, spoke in support of the request.

A MOTION WAS MADE BY BIDDLE, SECOND BY NEWMAN, TO DENY COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-28 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-3 WITH FINDINGS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Cook, Inglee, Newman, Biddle NOES: Dettloff, Richardson ABSENT: Gorman ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED PC Minutes-3/1/94 5 (p=002) I)Pt A FINDINGS FOR DENIAL- COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-28: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 for the proposed design plan for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park does not conform with the plans, policies, requirements and standards of the City's Local Coastal Program. It is difficult to determine compatibility of the Regional Park with the Bolsa Chica wetlands when the land uses and wetland restoration project boundaries for Bolsa Chica have not been approved. The Bolsa Chica Regional Park Plan with delineated trail locations, parking lot, and plant materials may conflict with the ultimate restoration plan for Bolsa Chica. 2. The location, site layout, and design of Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park may not properly adapt the proposed use to existing streets, driveways, and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner by maintaining existing circulation pattern and preserving view opportunities for residents on the opposite side of Seapoint Avenue. FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-3: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 for the development of the Phase IA of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park is part of the larger Bolsa Chica project currently being - processed by the County of Orange. Processing of the design plans for Phase 1 A of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park constitutes a segmentation of the processing of the -larger Bolsa Chica project. 2. Conditional Use Permit No. 9473 for the development of Phase lA of the Bolsa Chica ;Regional Park is premature and needs to be addressed in conjunction with development plans-for the entire Bolsa Chica area. 3. Conditional Use Permit no. 94-3 for the proposed design plan for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional park does not properly integrate the proposed park uses in a mariner sensitive to the surrounding residential properties. The proposed park includes "active" use areas which duplicate facilities provided at nearby Central Park and are not compatible with adjacent residential uses. Park uses should be passive in nature. PC Minutes-3/1/94 6 (p=002) DRA 3. Due to the fact that there are no unusual site or building characteristics applicant to the site, approval of the 45 foot high, 624 square foot pole sign, and 140 square foot sign face change would be a grant of special privilege not enjoyed by surrounding properties. The existing 45 foot high freestanding sign was required to be removed or altered to comply with the City's sign code by January 29, 1988. The sign, in its present state, constitutes excessive signage, and is an aesthetic impact to the commercial center and to surrounding properties. B-3 COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 93-28/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 94-2 (CONTINUED FROM THE JANUARY 19, 1994 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING): APPLICANT: Orange County Environmental Management Agency (Harbors, Beaches and Parks Division) LOCATION: 5801 .Seapoint Avenue (west side of Seapoint Avenue between Palm and Garfield). Coastal Development Permit No. 93-28 was continued at the January 19, 1994 meeting to allow for advertising of a Conditional Use Permit in conjunction with the Coastal Development Permit application. Coastal Development.Permit No. 93-28 and Conditional Use Permit No. 94-3 are a request by the County of Orange to review and approve the general design plans for Phase I of the Bolsa Chica Regional Park. Phase I consists of development of a forty (40) space parking lot, two park.entry points with signage, a vista overlook with interpretive signage, bicycle/pedestrian trails, two picnic areas, security lighting,perimeter fencing and signage, installation of ornamental and native plant materials and irrigation. Phase lA also includes creation of a wetland enhancement area located beyond the City' s boundary within the County's jurisdiction. Because this area is outside the City's jurisdiction, the County will be applying directly to the California Coastal Commission to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for this area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the request because it is consistent with the General Development Plan and Environmental Impact Report that were conceptually approved by the Huntington Beach City Council in October of 1992 and conforms with the plans,policies, requirements and standards of the City's Local Coastal Program AnAC-NHMENT NO. PC Minutes-2/1/94 6 (pcmoo1) DRAFT Staff from the Orange County Department of Harbours, Beaches and Parks gave a presentation to the Commission.

Barbara Marrs, 19265 Archfield Circle, concerned with foliage being used to soften the parking lot. Thomas McAleer, 19275 Archfield Circle, spoke in opposition to the request. PC Minutes- 2/1/94 7 (pcm001) DRAFT Victor Leipzig, 17461 Skyline Lane, urged the Commission to move forward with the plan with the modifications suggested by the residents. Dr. Louann Murray, 17451 Skyline Lane, stated her concerns regarding the restoration of fresh water wetlands, stating the failure rate for such restorations at 95%.

Mike Jones, 19267 Archfield Circle, spoke in opposition to the proposed parking lot location. Bill Ross, 19213 Seabrook Lane, spoke in opposition to the request. Gordon Labedz,-339 Regatta Way, Seal Beach, Surfrider Foundation, stated his concern with urban runoff from the golf course being high in chemical content, and the pollution that will be caused by the increase in vehicle traffic.
