Broeren, Mary Beth From: Lugar, Robin Sent: Monday, May 23, 2011 10:38 AM To: Broeren, Mary Beth Cc: Esparza, Patty Subject: RE: Sunset Beach Great ... thanks for letting us know O Robin Lugar, CMC Assistant City Clerk City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach CA 92648 714) 536-5405 From: Broeren, Mary Beth Sent: Monday, May 23, 2011 10:23 AM To: Lugar, Robin Subject: Sunset Beach Hi there, I just realized that the "final" copy of the Specific Plan that I gave you (that included the Council's changes) is missing an exhibit. The exhibit was in the RCA at page 459. I will reprint a real final and get it to you today. Your office should substitute the one I bring down for the one that is currently attached to Resolution No. 2010-74 and Resolution No. -2010-75. Rebecca had provided me with copies of the NOA and resos to send to Coastal Commission. I will substitute pages on my end, so no need for you to provide me with new copies. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

The Land Use Plan, including Development Guidelines, was approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 6, 1981, as an amendment to the Orange County General Plan. The purpose of the County Sunset Beach Specific Plan (SBSP/LCP) was to tie together the Land Use Plan and Implementing Actions Program of the County's Local Coastal Program. In January, 1986, the Board of Supervisors directed the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) to prepare an amendment to the SBSP/LCP. Amendment 90-1 to the SBSP/LCP was approved by the Board of the Supervisors by Resolution No. 90-1244 and Ordinance No. 3798 on September 26, 1990. The Sunset Beach area remained an unincorporated "island" while the cities of Seal Beach and Huntington Beach incorporated and annexed adjoining areas. In 2009, the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) placed the unincorporated Sunset Beach area in the City of Huntington Beach's Sphere of Influence, facilitating the annexation of Sunset Beach to the City of Huntington Beach. This proposed City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan is intended to comply with State law requiring the City to adopt zoning regulations for property ("pre-zone") before annexation is approved by LAFCO. 1.6 Previous California Coastal Commission Approvals for Sunset Beach The California Coastal Commission originally certified the SBSP/LCP on October 27, 1983. Subsequently, the Commission certified the amended SBSP/LCP on July, 17, 1991. The Commission retains original permit jurisdiction over development seaward of the mean high tide line. Therefore, it has permitting authority for improvements in/above the ocean and waterway and has issued such coastal development permits in Sunset Beach. This City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan must be approved by the California Coastal Commission in order to become effective. 1.7 Consistency with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared as part of the Specific Plan approval process. The Initial Study will serve as the basis on which the environmental effects of implementation of the Specific Plan can be ascertained. The Initial Study indicated that a Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA compliance tool, and has been prepared as part of this Specific Plan process. All subsequent approvals necessary to develop any property within the Specific Plan area must be consistent with the Specific Plan and within the scope of the Negative Declaration. Additional environmental documentation may be required in the future if new significant October 2010 Page 6 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan development is proposed or if significant changes are found to have occurred pursuant to Section 15162 and 15182 of the CEQA Guidelines. October 2010 Page 7 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 20 Land Use Plan The goal of the Land Use Plan is to maintain and enhance the special character of Sunset Beach. The Land Use Plan establishes and designates areas of residential and commercial development that will not impair coastal resources or public access to the coast consistent with the previous County Specific Plan. It identifies the beach, waterway and public parking facilities and policies to preserve them. Preservation of the unique character of Sunset Beach is the fundamental goal from which the Land Use Policies are derived. 2.1 Existing Conditions Sunset Beach is characterized by the unique and valuable commodity of its sandy beach and ocean shoreline. It is also surrounded on its inland side by a system of waterway canals in the Huntington Harbour development. The majority of the Sunset Beach area is designated for public or community use, the largest component of which is the beach. The beach is bounded on the south by Warner Avenue and on the north by Anderson Street, a distance of 6,300 feet. Access to the shoreline is at 27 street-end locations through the residential areas, 35 feet in width, located every 200 feet along the beach frontage. The only recreation facilities on the beach are volleyball nets. Approximately 1,500 feet of the beach is open for surfing. Lifeguard service is provided on a seasonal basis. Outdoor games, swimming, surfing and fishing constitute the major activities at this beach. The area also benefits from a 13 acre linear park/public parking facility, constructed by the County of Orange in the old Pacific-Electric right-of-way, with picnic areas, a tot lot, five restroom buildings, pathways, and 624 parking spaces. This area is also referred to as the "greenbelt." Other notable public uses include the Sunset Channel, 11th Street beach, a post office and a volunteer fire station. The Sunset Beach Community Association also owns and operates a community center, which functions as a quasi-public use. There are no public boat launch sites in Sunset Channel with the exception that nontrailerable boats that can be hand-carried may be launched at the 11th Street Beach. There are no publicly maintained boating facilities within the Sunset Beach area. However, private docks are available in Sunset Channel adjacent to commercial and residential properties subject to the permit process. Private land uses in Sunset Beach are residential and commercial. The residential uses consist of 700 single and multiple family type dwelling units, on typically 2,700 square foot lots, which are well mixed throughout both residential and commercial areas. Densities range from approximately 22 to 45 units per acre. There are approximately 70 commercial establishments. Existing commercial uses range from neighborhood convenience facilities such as markets, to more area-wide facilities such as motels, restaurants, and specialty shops that generally front on Pacific Coast Highway. Because of the compact size and special nature of the Sunset Beach community and the limited area for commercial uses, the convenience facilities and goods provided serve the visitors and tourists as well as local residents. The Sunset Beach area consists of 497 parcels, the beach, and right-of-way. All but four of these parcels are fully developed or used in substantial part by an adjacent parcel for yard area, October 2010 Page 8 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan parking or accessory structures. Of the four parcels, three are vacant and one parcel is occupied by a billboard. The existing residential and commercial areas are 99 percent developed. Sunset Beach exhibits generally low relief with elevations ranging from sea level to five feet above sea level. Erosion of the shoreline in the area has been relatively continuous since the construction of the east jetty of Anaheim Bay in 1944. In 1945, the Navy constructed 600 feet of stone revetment downcoast from the Anaheim Bay east jetty to retard the erosion but had to reinforce it the following year. In 1947, the revetment was further extended and a wood sheet- pile bulkhead established to strengthen the shore road. In the 1940s, 1,422,000 cubic yards of material were placed on the beach. Additional material has been placed along the Surfside- Sunset Beach shoreline on a regular basis over the years and is expected to be needed on an on-going basis. Much of the area northwest of Pacific Coastal Highway was once a marsh and slough and was dredged and redeveloped to establish part of Sunset Island and Huntington Harbour in the 1960s. The development of these communities destroyed the marsh-slough habitat. The developed area of Sunset Beach does not provide a suitable habitat for wildlife or native vegetation because of its highly urbanized character, although certain avifauna may forage on the beach. Along the sandy beaches of the Specific Plan area, plankton, organic detritus, and debris form a primary food source for many of the macroscopic (i.e., large enough to be observed by the naked eye) species of marine animals, such as beach hoppers, sand crabs, and various species of clams. Also, microfauna could possibly be a food source for invertebrate macroscopic filter feeders. Filter and deposit feeders provide a food source for many fish species such as barred surfperch and California corbina, and also for numerous shore birds such as willets, whimbrels, dowitchers, plovers, and gulls. In turn, many of the vertebrates, especially the fishes, provide a food source for larger carnivorous vertebrates such as other fishes and mammals. Many invertebrate species are subject to cycles of abundance and rarity on any segment of sandy beach shoreline. The fish species present are frequently taken by in-shore anglers but are not exclusively confined to the shallow water of the open coast sandy beaches; they can also be found in deeper waters, or in bays and harbors, depending on such factors as migratory habits, spawning habits, weather conditions, wave conditions, and currents. Pismo clams are known to exist all along the intertidal and subtidal zones of the sandy beach shorelines from Anaheim Bay Harbor to the entrance to Newport Harbor. This bivalve is an important resource sought by recreational Clammers. The open coast sandy beach in the Specific Plan area and vicinity are spawning habitat for the grunion. Other fish species such as the barred surfperch and California corbina are found in the surf zone feeding primarily upon sand crabs. Common sandy beach organisms such as sand crab, pismo clam, bean clam, and polychaetes are known to exist intertidally and subtidally along the Surfside-Sunset Beach shoreline in spite of previous beach deposition (sand replenishment) operations. October 2010 Page 9 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 2.2 Land Use The Sunset Beach Land Use Plan is intended to implement the goals of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Broadly stated, the goals for the area are to: ■ Maintain and enhance the special character of Sunset Beach. ■ Protect, maintain, and, where feasible, enhance and restore the overall quality of the coastal zone environment and its natural and man-made resources. ■ Assure orderly, balanced utilization and conservation of coastal zone resources taking into account the social economic needs of the people of the state. ■ Maximize public access to and along the coast and maximize public recreational opportunities in the coastal zone consistent with sound resource conservation principles and constitutionally protected rights of private property owners. ■ Assure priority for coastal-dependent and coastal-related development over other development on the coast. ■ Encourage state and local initiatives and cooperation in preparing procedures to implement coordinated planning and development for mutually beneficial uses, including educational uses, in the coastal zone. More specifically, the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Land Use Plan proposes to carry forward the land use designations previously approved by the County of Orange and California Coastal Commission. However, for consistency with the City's General Plan, some of the designations are different in name, though the types of permitted uses are similar. These uses will also be governed by the more specific regulations of this Specific Plan, as set forth in Section 3. The Sunset Beach Land Use Plan is illustrated in Exhibit 2.1. The Plan designates the 134 acre Specific Plan area as follows: Land Use Designation Acres Residential High Density-30 22.32 Commercial Visitor-Mixed Use Overlay 9.16 Public 13.00 Open Space-Shoreline 57.74 Open Space-Water Recreation 3.40 Right of Way 28.26 Total 133.88 October 2010 Page 10 SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL—LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT Ms, NO. 10-001: l. Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 10-001 amends the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program to reflect the annexation of Sunset Beach to the City of Huntington Beach including the adoption of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan, amendment of the zoning map,and text and figure changes in the Land Use Plan. The amendments propose the same type of land uses for the Sunset Beach area as allowed by the County of Orange certified Local Coastal Program/Specific Plan for Sunset Beach, including high density residential, visitor serving commercial,public and open space. The amendments continue the community's commitment to coastal access and coastal recreational resources and are consistent with the City's General Plan. 2. The proposed change to the Local Coastal Program is in accordance with the policies,standards and provisions of the California Coastal Act relative to land use,public access,public recreation,public views and preservation of beaches. The Local Coastal Program Amendment promotes the City's Local Coastal Program goals and objectives by allowing a mix of uses, including 55 percent of the land designated for public use,visitor serving commercial and high density residential,while preserving 27 existing public access points to the beach and existing scenic vista points. The proposed Specific Plan improves on the existing certified County Local Coastal Program/Specific Plan by adding requirements for bicycle parking to be included in new development and a water quality section. 3. The project conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. The Specific Plan preserves 27 existing public access points to the beach and existing scenic vista points. The main public beach, small beach at 11t' Street and Pacific Coast Highway, Sunset Channel and Sunset Greenbelt(linear park)/public parking facility remain designated for public use with appropriate policies and standards. No existing coastal access will be impacted. 10/18/10 -161- Item 13® a Page 19 ATTACHMENT #2 RESOLUTION NO. 2010-73 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 10-002 WHEREAS, General Plan Amendment No. 10-002 proposes to amend the Land Use Plan by: 1.

THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN III-RCS-5 Resolution No.2010-73 INFRASTRUCTURE AND CoMMUNTCY SERVICES CHAPTER RECREA 77ON AND COMMUNITY SERVICES ELEMENT C. FUTURE RECREATIONAL NEEDS The City has set its park standard at five acres per 1,000 people. ' The City's population is 204,784, based on the January 2010 estimate from the State Department of Finance for Hun tinQton Beach and an estimate of 1,300 for the Sunset Beach community. Based on the 4990 2010 population and the. City's standard, the City should have a total of 9071,023.92 acres of parkland in 4992 2010. City parks encompass approximately 576 859.12 acres, including the City-owned public golf course and the tliee City beaches pis encompass approximately MO 207.99 acres. Therefore, the City contains 9-6 1,067.11 acres of parkland,which exceeds the defined standard. Under the Quimby Act, in-lieu funds can be used for park renovation, acquisition; and development. Recreation programs are funded through service fees and by the general fund. Many of the local school sites provide recreational amenities and facilities to the surrounding neighborhoods, including youth sports fields. Recent population trends and budget constraints have led to school closures. Some school districts have sold or are contemplating selling the closed school sites for residential or other development. Since the schools provide recreation sites, their closure and potential future development could remove the public recreational amenity from the neighborhood. The city of Huntington Beach should assess and determine the value of acquiring the sites or portion of the sites for public use. ISSUES i. The impact of growth on recreation and park facilities needs to be assessed and accommodated (RCS 2.L 1, RCS 3.1.1, RCS 3.1.5, and RCS 5.1.2). 2. Closed school facilities should be evaluated as to whether the need exists to:utilize a portion of each site for a neighborhood park and/or youth services(RCS 1.1.7 and RCS 5.1.1). 3. Adequacy of recreation programs and available park acreage should be periodically assessed to ensure adequacy(RCS 1.1.2, RCS 2.1.1, RCS 2.1.4,and RCS 4.1.2). 4. Parks which feature areas of natural environment should be provided (RCS 1.1.2). 5. Adequate funding for park and beach maintenance and renovation should be maintained to ensure park usability(RCS 2.1.2, RCS 2.1.3, RCS 6.1.2, and RCS 7.1.1). 6. Quimby Act in-lieu fees and alternative funding methods for park development and renovation should be periodically evaluated(RCS 8.1.1 and RCS 8.1.6). 7. The City should assess the impact of increases in the population or demand for community center services and should plan accordingly(RCS 2.1.1 and RCS 3.1.1). 8. The aging of the general population and increases in the senior population will increase demand for senior services. The City should asess possibilities for building a new multi purpose Senior Center and incorporate the Outreach Center to meet increased demands (RCS 1.L 1, RCS 3.1.2, and RCS 3.1.5). 9. The City is required to devise an implementation plan addressing the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1992(RCS 1.1.1, RCS 3.1.6, and RCS 4.L 3). 10. All designated park lands need to be preserved with proper land use designation (RCS 2.1.1, RCS 3.1.3, and L U 71.1). THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN III-RCS-6 Resolution No.2010-73 H b.

Resolution No.2010-73 INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES CHAPTER UTILITIES ELEMENT c. Water Storage The water storage system consists of.Overmyer Reservoir and the Peek Reservoir, both located within the City. Peck Reservoir's capacity is 16 million gallons and Overmyer Reservoir has a capacity of 23 million gallons. The reservoirs store both groundwater and imported water. The reservoirs fill with water at night and empty during the day. Presently,the storage facilities are inadequate to serve the water demands of the City. Policies contained in the 1995 Water Master Plan will address these inadequacies. d. Water Booster-Facilities Booster facilities pump water from reservoir storage into the water distribution system when normal water pressures are insufficient. At present, booster facilities are inadequate to maintain water pressure levels_ Policies contained in the 1995 Water Master Plan will address these inadequacies. e. Water Distribution System The local distribution system consists of approximately 480 miles of water lines ranging in size from 2 to 42 inch diameter pipes. Huntington Beach has an emergency service agreement with the cities of Fountain Valley, Seal Beach, and Westminster to receive water during a disaster. The existing system is inadequate, but with policies contained in the 1995 Water Master Plan,these inadequacies will be addressed_ 2. Improvements The 1995 Water Master Plan analyzes demands and impacts of surrounding communities such as Sunset Beach and Surfside on the City's system, as well as the anticipated impact of future developments such as the Bolsa Chica_ The Huntington Beach's Water Department currently supplies or may supply water to these areas_ The Master Plan identifies the following improvements which the Water Department is in the process of requesting approval from the City Council to fund and construct: a. Three new underground water wells. b. 43 million gallons of water storage that has been designed but the site has yet to be determined. c. The City will participate in the Orange County Water District's Green Acres Project. The Green Acres Project is a treated reclaimed water project which will be used for landscape irrigation. The reclaimed water distribution line location will be determined by the Orange County Water District, anticipated start up date is 1997. B. SANITATION TREATMENT AND SEWERAGE The Sanitation Treatment and Sewerage services for the City of Huntington Beach are provided by two three entities: The Orange County Sanitation District{OCSD}3 and the City of Huntington Beach Public Works Department, and the Sunset Beach Sanitary District. Currently, 98 percent of the City is connected to the sewer system. The remaining two percent utilizes septic tanks and is scattered throughout the City. These areas are under no pressure to convert from septic tanks to the sewer system at this time. THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN III-U-2 Resolution No.2010-73 INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES CHAPTER UTILITIES ELEMENT f. Orange County Wastewater Treatment The two wastewater treatment plants serving the City of Huntington Beach perform primary and secondary treatment procedures. Plant#1 is designed to treat the wastewater generated by neighboring cities and the northern portion of the City. Operators in Plant#i determine whether it has the capacity to treat the directed wastewater or if the wastewater should be transported to Plant#2. Plant#2 treats most of the City's sewage. The following table describes the characteristics of the two plants: Current O rating Ca aci Existing Operations Planned hn rovements Plant#1 60 Primary MGD 50 Primary MGD Additional 60 60 Secondary MGD Primary MGD Plant#2 200 Primary MGD 170 Primary MGD None 95 Secondary MGD The OCSD has developed engineering plans for plant improvements anticipated to meet the needs of the City to the year 2050. Implementation of these plans is dependent on increased demands rather than a set time table. Many of these improvements will need to be implemented prior to the construction/occupancy of any planned large developments. At present,the OCSD has seen a 14 percent drop in wastewater treatment demand due to water conservation practices and City and County imposed regulations. However, the OCSD states that this trend may be misleading and that it may be premature to determine future demand trends. 2. Existing Sewage Collection System The existing sewage collection system consists of major trunk lines, smaller feeder lines, and lift stations. The City's Public Works Department and the Sunset Beach Sanitary District is are responsible for the local level of service while the OCSD is responsible for the regional service: The OCSD's trunk lines connect local lines to the treatment plants. The major trunk lines flowing to treatment plants are constructed and designed to incorporate all the City's smaller outlet sewer lines. The sewage trunk lines are designed to not exceed 0.75 depth over diameter (D/D), the system is currently working at about 0.5 D/D. OCSD has no immediate plans for updating the existing lines other than the normal replacement of deteriorating sewer lines and trunks. The OCSD also owns and operates three pump stations in the City. The pump stations help transport the sewage through the system and onto the treatment plants. The Slater Pumping Station is presently being improved. This pumping station is instrumental for any future developments of Bolsa Chica and McDonnell-Douglas. The City of Huntington Beach and the Sunset Beach Sanitary District owns, operates, and maintains the smaller sewer lines that run from the households or businesses to the larger City and OCSD owned sewer trunks.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby resolve as follows: 1. The Sunset Beach Specific Plan is consistent with the adopted Land Use Element of the General Plan, and other applicable policies and is compatible with surrounding development. 2. The Sunset Beach Specific Plan enhances the potential for superior urban design in comparison with the development standards under the base district provisions that would apply if the Plan were not approved because the Plan's regulations recognize the existing unique and developed character of the Sunset Beach area. 3. The deviations from the base district provisions that otherwise would apply are justified by the compensating benefits of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan, which maintains significant and well located public open space and scenic vistas of the Pacific Ocean. 4. The Specific Plan includes adequate provisions for utilities, services and emergency vehicle access and public service demands and will not exceed the capacity of existing and planned systems. S.

Legal Description October 2010 Page ii Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 10 Introduction 1.1 Location Sunset Beach is an approximately 134 acre primarily residential community that stretches 1.2 miles from Seal Beach at the northwest extremity to Bolsa Chica State Beach, with which it is contiguous at the southeast, as shown in Exhibit 1.1, Vicinity Map. It is bordered on the southwest by the Pacific Ocean and on the northeast by the Huntington Harbour and Peter's Landing developments and is in proximity to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and Sunset Aquatic Park. The entirety of Sunset Beach is located in the Coastal Zone. From the ocean inland Sunset Beach is formed by six successive strips running the length of the community_ the beach, the ocean front residences along South Pacific Avenue, the linear park/public parking facility between South and North Pacific Avenues, the residences along North Pacific and side streets, the mixed residential-commercial buildings on both sides of Pacific Coast Highway, and the residences on Sunset Island and adjacent to Park Avenue (Exhibit 1.2, Aerial Photograph). 1.2 Specific Plan Area Background Sunset Beach was established as an unincorporated town on September 8, 1904, governed by the County of Orange. Its formal establishment followed construction of the Pacific Electric Railway(PER). The Newport-Balboa line was the first PER line into Orange County and ran down the coast from Long Beach. The line was extended into Huntington Beach via Seal Beach in Summer 1904. Sunset Beach was laid out along the tracks in 1905. An 80 foot wide boulevard was graded running north to south next to the"Red Car" line, the common reference to PER, and became known as Ocean Boulevard. This thoroughfare was renamed Pacific Coast Highway in 1926. Development of Sunset Beach was similar to that of small coastal communities of the time and was punctuated by various events that helped to shape it to its current form, not the least of which was the rail line and the highway. The other notable change for the area was the development of Huntington Harbour in the 1960s, which transformed marsh and slough into residential islands, a marina and commercial area. Sunset Beach is unique among coastal communities in that 55 percent of its total area, excluding streets, is publicly owned and utilized. Of its almost 134 acres, approximately 74 acres are devoted to public uses, which include the main beach, a combination linear park and public parking facility, Sunset Channel and 11t'' Street beach. Approximately 31 acres are developed with residential and commercial uses, and 28 acres are right-of-way(streets). There are 700 residential units in the community developed at a range of densities, with commercial and mixed use developments mostly along Pacific Coast Highway. The community has approximately 1,300 residents. While Sunset Beach is almost built out, remodeling and rebuilding of residential lots occurs on an on-going basis.

The Specific Plan establishes speck zoning and site development standards for Sunset Beach generally consistent with the County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan, dated September 1990. Sunset Beach will be annexed to the City of Huntington Beach. After the annexation and the adoption of the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan are effective, the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan will supersede the County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan as the effective zoning regulations for the approximately 134 acre Sunset Beach area.' The intent of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan is to provide clear and comprehensive descriptions of land use, circulation, infrastructure and site development standards. The Specific Plan is regulatory in nature and serves as zoning for the Sunset Beach area, see Exhibit 1.3, Zoning Map. The Specific Plan also serves as the implementation plan for the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program. Development plans and other entitlement requests for the Specific Plan area must be consistent with this Specific Plan and the Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program. 1.4 Authority and Scope The authority to prepare, adopt and implement Specific Plans is granted to the City of Huntington Beach by the California Government Code (Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457). The Specific Plan will be used by the City of Huntington Beach to implement the Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program for the Sunset Beach area. The Specific Plan contains all applicable land use regulations and will thus constitute the zoning for the Sunset Beach area. The Development Standards contained in this Specific Plan will take precedence over all other provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, unless otherwise noted. Local planning agencies or their legislative bodies may designate areas within their jurisdictions as ones for which a Specific Plan is"necessary or convenient" (Government Code Section 65451). A Specific Plan may either be adopted by ordinance or resolution (Government Code Section 65507). Adoption of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan shall be consistent with the provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 215. 1 The County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan lists the acreage for the Specific Plan area as 115 total acres,30 acres of which are the main beach. With the benefit of geographic information systems, and based on current information from the County of Orange and a legal description,the total acreage is now estimated at almost 134,approximately 58 of which are the main beach.

The Land Use Plan, including Development Guidelines, was approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 6, 1981, as an amendment to the Orange County General Plan. The purpose of the County Sunset Beach Specific Plan (SBSP/LCP)was to tie together the Land Use Plan and Implementing Actions Program of the County's Local Coastal Program. In January, 1986, the Board of Supervisors directed the Environmental Management Agency (EMA)to prepare an amendment to the SBSP/LCP. Amendment 90-1 to the SBSP/LCP was approved by the Board of the Supervisors by Resolution No. 90-1244 and Ordinance No. 3798 on September 26, 1990. The Sunset Beach area remained an unincorporated"island"while the cities of Seal Beach and Huntington Beach incorporated and annexed adjoining areas. In 2009, the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) placed the unincorporated Sunset Beach area in the City of Huntington Beach's Sphere of Influence, facilitating the annexation of Sunset Beach to the City of Huntington Beach. This proposed City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan is intended to comply with State law requiring the City to adopt zoning regulations for property("pre-zone") before annexation is approved by LAFCO. 1.6 Previous California Coastal Commission Approvals for Sunset Beach The California Coastal Commission originally certified the SBSP/LCP on October 27, 1983. Subsequently, the Commission certified the amended SBSP/LCP on July, 17, 1991. The Commission retains original permit jurisdiction over development seaward of the mean high tide line. Therefore, it has permitting authority for improvements in/above the ocean and waterway and has issued such coastal development permits in Sunset Beach. This City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan must be approved by the California Coastal Commission in order to become effective. 1.7 Consistency with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared as part of the Specific Plan approval process. The Initial Study will serve as the basis on which the environmental effects of implementation of the Specific Plan can be ascertained. The Initial Study indicated that a Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA compliance tool, and has been prepared as part of this Specific Plan process. All subsequent approvals necessary to develop any property within the Specific Plan area must be consistent with the Specific Plan and within the scope of the Negative Declaration. Additional environmental documentation may be required in the future if new significant October 2010 Page 6 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan development is proposed or if significant changes are found to have occurred pursuant to Section 15162 and 15182 of the CEQA Guidelines. October 2010 Page 7 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 2. Land Use Plan The goal of the Land Use Plan is to maintain and enhance the special character of Sunset Beach. The Land Use Plan establishes and designates areas of residential and commercial development that will not impair coastal resources or public access to the coast consistent with the previous County Specific Plan. It identifies the beach, waterway and public parking facilities and policies to preserve them. Preservation of the unique character of Sunset Beach is the fundamental goal from which the Land Use Policies are derived. 2.1 Existing Conditions Sunset Beach is characterized by the unique and valuable commodity of its sandy beach and ocean shoreline. It is also surrounded on its inland side by a system of waterway canals in the Huntington Harbour development. The majority of the Sunset Beach area is designated for public or community use, the largest component of which is the beach. The beach is bounded on the south by Warner Avenue and on the north by Anderson Street, a distance of 6,300 feet. Access to the shoreline is at 27 street-end locations through the residential areas, 35 feet in width, located every 200 feet along the beach frontage. The only recreation facilities on the beach are volleyball nets. Approximately 1,500 feet of the beach is open for surfing. Lifeguard service is provided on a seasonal basis. Outdoor games, swimming, surfing and fishing constitute the major activities at this beach. The area also benefits from a 13 acre linear park/public parking facility, constructed by the County of Orange in the old Pacific-Electric right-of-way, with picnic areas, a tot lot, five restroom buildings, pathways, and 624 parking spaces. This area is also referred to as the "greenbelt." Other notable public uses include the Sunset Channel, 11"' Street beach, a post office and a volunteer fire station. The Sunset Beach Community Association also owns and operates a community center, which functions as a quasi-public use. There are no public boat launch sites in Sunset Channel with the exception that nontrailerable boats that can be hand-carried may be launched at the 11th Street Beach. There are no publicly maintained boating facilities within the Sunset Beach area. However, private docks are available in Sunset Channel adjacent to commercial and residential properties subject to the permit process. Private land uses in Sunset Beach are residential and commercial. The residential uses consist of 700 single and multiple family type dwelling units, on typically 2,700 square foot lots, which are well mixed throughout both residential and commercial areas. Densities range from approximately 22 to 45 units per acre. There are approximately 70 commercial establishments. Existing commercial uses range from neighborhood convenience facilities such as markets, to more area-wide facilities such as motels, restaurants, and specialty shops that generally front on Pacific Coast Highway. Because of the compact size and special nature of the Sunset Beach community and the limited area for commercial uses, the convenience facilities and goods provided serve the visitors and tourists as well as local residents. The Sunset Beach area consists of 497 parcels, the beach, and right-of-way. All but four of these parcels are fully developed or used in substantial part by an adjacent parcel for yard area, October 2010 Page 8 Draft Sunset Beach Speck Plan parking or accessory structures. Of the four parcels, three are vacant and one parcel is occupied by a billboard. The existing residential and commercial areas are 99 percent developed. Sunset Beach exhibits generally low relief with elevations ranging from sea level to five feet above sea level. Erosion of the shoreline in the area has been relatively continuous since the construction of the east jetty of Anaheim Bay in 1944. In 1945,the Navy constructed 600 feet of stone revetment downcoast from the Anaheim Bay east jetty to retard the erosion but had to reinforce it the following year. In 1947, the revetment was further extended and a wood sheet- pile bulkhead established to strengthen the shore road. In the 1940s, 1,422,000 cubic yards of material were placed on the beach. Additional material has been placed along the Surfside- Sunset Beach shoreline on a regular basis over the years and is expected to be needed on an on-going basis. Much of the area northwest of Pacific Coastal Highway was once a marsh and slough and was dredged and redeveloped to establish part of Sunset Island and Huntington Harbour in the 1960s. The development of these communities destroyed the marsh-slough habitat. The developed area of Sunset Beach does not provide a suitable habitat for wildlife or native vegetation because of its highly urbanized character, although certain avifauna may forage on the beach. Along the sandy beaches of the Specific Plan area, plankton, organic detritus, and debris form a primary food source for many of the macroscopic(i.e., large enough to be observed by the naked eye) species of marine animals, such as beach hoppers, sand crabs, and various species of clams. Also, microfauna could possibly be a food source for invertebrate macroscopic filter feeders. Filter and deposit feeders provide a food source for many fish species such as barred surfperch and California corbina, and also for numerous shore birds such as willets, whimbrels, dowitchers, plovers, and gulls. In turn, many of the vertebrates, especially the fishes, provide a food source for larger carnivorous vertebrates such as other fishes and mammals. Many invertebrate species are subject to cycles of abundance and rarity on any segment of sandy beach shoreline. The fish species present are frequently taken by in-shore anglers but are not exclusively confined to the shallow water of the open coast sandy beaches; they can also be found in deeper waters, or in bays and harbors, depending on such factors as migratory habits, spawning habits, weather conditions, wave conditions, and currents. Pismo clams are known to exist all along the intertidal and subtidal zones of the sandy beach shorelines from Anaheim Bay Harbor to the entrance to Newport Harbor. This bivalve is an important resource sought by recreational Clammers. The open coast sandy beach in the Specific Plan area and vicinity are spawning habitat for the grunion. Other fish species such as the barred surfperch and California corbina are found in the surf zone feeding primarily upon sand crabs. Common sandy beach organisms such as sand crab, pismo clam, bean clam, and polychaetes are known to exist intertidally and subtidally along the Surfside-Sunset Beach shoreline in spite of previous beach deposition (sand replenishment) operations.

Legal Description October 2010 Page ii Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 1 ® Introduction 1.1 Location Sunset Beach is an approximately 134 acre primarily residential community that stretches 1.2 miles from Seal Beach at the northwest extremity to Bolsa Chica State Beach, with which it is contiguous at the southeast, as shown in Exhibit 1.1, Vicinity Map. It is bordered on the southwest by the Pacific Ocean and on the northeast by the Huntington Harbour and Peter's Landing developments and is in proximity to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and Sunset Aquatic Park. The entirety of Sunset Beach is located in the Coastal Zone. From the ocean inland Sunset Beach is formed by six successive strips running the length of the community: the beach, the ocean front residences along South Pacific Avenue,.the linear park/public parking facility between South and North Pacific Avenues, the residences along North Pacific and side streets, the mixed residential-commercial buildings on both sides of Pacific Coast Highway, and the residences on Sunset Island and adjacent to Park Avenue (Exhibit 1.2, Aerial Photograph). 1.2 Specific Plan Area Background Sunset Beach was established as an unincorporated town on September 8, 1904, governed by the County of Orange. Its formal establishment followed construction of the Pacific Electric Railway (PER). The Newport-Balboa line was the first PER line into Orange County and ran down the coast from Long Beach. The line was extended into Huntington Beach via Seal Beach in Summer 1904. Sunset Beach was laid out along the tracks in 1905. .An 80 foot wide boulevard was graded running north to south next to the "Red Car" line, the common reference to PER, and became known as Ocean Boulevard. This thoroughfare was renamed Pacific Coast Highway in 1926; Development of Sunset Beach was similar to that of small coastal communities of the time and was punctuated by various events that helped to shape it to its current form, not the least of which was the rail line and the highway. The other notable change for the area was the development of Huntington Harbour in the 1960s, which transformed marsh and slough into residential islands, a marina and commercial area. Sunset Beach is unique among coastal communities in that 55 percent of its total area, excluding streets, is publicly owned and utilized. Of its almost 134 acres, approximately 74 acres are devoted to public uses, which include the main beach, a combination linear park and public parking facility, Sunset Channel and 11th Street beach. Approximately 31 acres are developed with residential and commercial uses, and 28 acres are right-of-way (streets). . There are 700 residential units in the community developed at a range of densities, with commercial and mixed use developments mostly along Pacific Coast Highway. The community has approximately 1,300 residents. While Sunset Beach is almost built out, remodeling and. rebuilding of residential lots occurs on an on-going basis.

The Specific Plan establishes specific zoning and site development standards for Sunset Beach generally consistent with the County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan, dated September 1990. Sunset Beach will be annexed to the City of Huntington Beach. After the annexation and the adoption of the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan are effective, the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan will supersede the County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan as the effective zoning regulations for the approximately 134 acre Sunset Beach area.' The intent of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan is to provide clear and comprehensive descriptions of land use, circulation, infrastructure and site development standards. The Specific Plan is regulatory in nature and serves as zoning for the Sunset Beach area, see Exhibit 1.3, Zoning Map. The Specific Plan also serves as the implementation plan for the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program. Development plans and other entitlement requests for the Specific Plan area must be consistent with this Specific Plan and the Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program. 1.4 Authority and Scope The authority to prepare, adopt and implement Specific Plans is granted to the City of Huntington Beach by the California Government Code (Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457). The Specific Plan will be used by the City of Huntington Beach to implement the Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program for the Sunset Beach area. The Specific Plan contains all applicable land use regulations and will thus constitute the zoning for the Sunset Beach area. The Development Standards contained in this Specific Plan will take precedence over all other provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, unless otherwise noted. Local planning agencies or their legislative bodies may designate areas within their jurisdictions as ones for which a Specific Plan is "necessary or convenient" (Government Code Section 65451). A Specific Plan may either be adopted by ordinance or resolution (Government Code Section 65507). Adoption of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan shall be consistent with the provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 215. 1 The County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan lists the acreage for the Specific Plan area as 115 total acres,30 acres of which are the main beach. With the benefit of geographic information systems, and based on current information from the County of Orange and a legal description,the total acreage is now estimated at almost 134,approximately 58 of which are the main beach. October 2010 Page 4 Draft Sunset Beach.Soecific Plan The Residential High Density designation has a General Plan/Local Coastal Program density category of greater than 30 units per net acre, denoted by "-30" to reflect the existing density condition of some parts of Sunset Beach. The Commercial Visitor designation has a Mixed Use. ("-mu") Overlay, which permits residential uses in conjunction with the underlying commercial designation. This is in recognition that the Specific Plan allows for residential units above the ground floor in the CV area.z In addition to the underlying land use designations, and the notations for RH and CV described above,.the entire area has a Specific Plan Overlay ('-sp") designation in recognition of the need and existence of a specific plan for the Sunset Beach area. The City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program also use Subarea designations to identify areas that are unique in the city, serve certain functions or have area- specific goals or regulations. The Sunset Beach Specific Plan area will be designated as Subarea 4L on the City's Community District and Subarea Schedule in the General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Those Subarea Schedules refer the reader to this Specific Plan for development regulations. Z The County's existing Specific Plan allows residential uses above the ground floor in the Commercial Visitor(Sunset Beach Tourist District)area.A 2010 review of existing development in Sunset Beach indicates that there are approximately 80 residential units in the areas designated for principally commercial uses.

However, due to the unique nature of Sunset Beach and the fact that it is already almost fully developed at the time.that this Specific Plan is being,created, previous Land Use Plan Guidelines contained in the original County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan are being carried forward to the extent that they are still relevant. The Land Use Plan Guidelines below are designed to: implement the Land Use Plan, specifically; carry out the intent of the General Plan and Coastal Act consistent with the desires of the community; and be a supplement to the City's General Plan and Local Coastal Program, which also contain relevant policies. The Guidelines consist of the Land Use Map (see Exhibit 2.1) and the following text: Beach and Sand Area 2.2.1 Existing beach and sand areas shall be maintained in their present form: i. to preserve the unique public recreational character of Sunset Beach; recreation shall be defined as passive and active recreation that is in conformance with the development guidelines of the Sunset Beach Land Use Plan. ii. in cooperation with the State Department of Fish and Game, to protect and preserve the natural habitat of spawning grunion, pismo clam and other shellfish beds, porpoise feeding and sporting grounds, feeding grounds for the California brown pelican, grebes, cormorants, terns, gulls and.all other natural sea life and waterfowl. iii. to protect beachfront residences and maintain both public and private open ocean view and access. 2.2.2 The following shall be adhered to to maintain the existing beach and sand.areas: i. Dredging and sand replenishment shall be scheduled during fall and winter months to reduce conflict with sunning, swimming and other shoreline water activities. ii. The city shall cooperate with the United States Army Corps of Engineers and other applicable agencies regarding all sand replenishment activities. iii. Sand replenishment shall be deposited at the northwest end of the beach in the area contiguous to the U.S. Navy Ammunition & Net Depot harbor groin, the point of primary and maximum erosion. From that point sand shall be distributed southeastward down the beach by natural wave and current action. This will avoid the destruction of natural marine life habitat. At the same time it will preserve the recreational character of the beach and the fine grain and cleanliness characteristic of alluvial ocean sands. Sand shall not be pumped directly on the beach within Sunset beach except in response to immediate danger to residences. October 2010 Page 13 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan iv. No government or private agency shall construct or cause to be constructed any structure including but not limited to jetties, groins, berms, etc., that may alter natural shoreline processes such as wave action, channel depths or general beach configuration except when such protective structures are required for existing structures or public beaches in danger of erosion. V. Permanent above-ground structures on the beach and sand areas shall be prohibited. vi. To fulfill visitor serving needs, to minimize personal injuries and to reduce liability, sanitation shall be maintained by properly and routinely cleaning and maintaining the beach and sand area from ocean edge to the artificial dune. The protective growth barrier shall be maintained by property owners. 2.2.3 To protect residences and the Sunset Beach sanitary system from flood waters and excess wind-driven sand, to preserve that sand in the beach area thereby reducing replenishment costs, and to enhance the appearance of the benefit of visitors, preservation and maintenance of the artificial dune by residences shall be retained and encouraged, in keeping with Orange County Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 80- 188. 2.2.4 Scenic vistas shall be maintained, see Exhibit 2.2., Scenic Vista Viewpoints. 2.2.5 Public access to the beach shall be maintained. i. The 27 existing public access points to the beach shall be retained in perpetuity, see Exhibit 2.3, Existing Beach Access. ii. Signs denoting the Public Beach shall be maintained at the signalized intersections of Anderson Street, Broadway Avenue and Warner Avenue along Pacific Coast Highway. Signs shall not exceed four square feet. October 2010 Page 14 O O o v v Ico f ti L Cn m m m a - o Pacific Coast Hwy.

For greater use by the general public, all channels and public waterways in existence as of February 2, 1965, on which date, by Resolution 65-112, the Orange County Board of Supervisors established the channel widths, shall be maintained as public waterways. Location of bulkhead lines and encroachment areas shall be established and no structures shall extend beyond the bulkhead line except for ramps (gangways) and docks. ii. Every effort shall be made to protect and preserve existing natural sea life and waterfowl, and to maintain "clean" water. iii. To meet visitor-serving needs, the 11th Street public beach shall be retained in its present general configuration, or if reconfigured, shall provide equivalent recreational opportunities and shall be properly maintained. Visitor Serving Commercial 2.2.7 Existing commercial facilities should be retained. 2.2.8 Should any existing residence presently on property designated for commercial use be destroyed, such may be rebuilt as a residence providing it conforms to the provisions of the residential guidelines. 2.2.9 Where commercial uses abut residential property, no balconies, decks or open areas intended for public use shall be allowed to infringe on adjacent residential property. Residential 2.2.10 All legally created residential building sites shall be permitted only two dwelling units per site, unless approved otherwise prior to adoption of this Specific Plan. 2.2.11 Affordable housing shall be provided consistent with the City of Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision. Low/moderate cost rental units should be replaced when redevelopment occurs. 2.2.12 Conversion of multi-unit buildings into condominiums shall be allowed only if the building meets the Specific Plan standards. 2.2.13 Public service facilities shall be a permitted use in a residential use area. October 2010 Page 17 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 2.3 Circulation Regional Transportation A network of freeways and arterial highways provide regional access for Sunset Beach. The major arterial regional facilities serving the community are Pacific Coast Highway and the San Diego Freeway. Arterial highways link these two facilities to each other and to Sunset Beach. Several arterial highways connect Pacific Coast Highway with inland areas and the San Diego Freeway. Seal Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue are both designated as major arterial (six lane, divided) highways and provide connections with Pacific Coast Highway at points north and south, respectively, of Sunset Beach. The arterial highway network serves both the motorist and the public transit rider. Countywide and regional access via transit is designed primarily by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), which operates an extensive system of fixed routes and dial-a-ride service throughout Orange County. OCTA's service to the Sunset Beach area is quite extensive. OCTA route#1 utilizes Pacific Coast Highway between Long Beach/Seal Beach and San Clemente, providing north-south service to Sunset Beach. Three other OCTA routes terminate at Pacific Coast Highway and Warner Avenue at the southern end of Sunset Beach; they provide direct service to the beach from inland Orange County areas. The Pacific Coast Bikeway follows Pacific Coast Highway and serves as a major north-south route within Orange County and the only bikeway adjacent and parallel to the coastline. Bikeways connecting to Pacific Coast Highway generally follow arterial highways. Seal Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue both include bikeways. All of the above bikeways are included in the Master Plan of County-wide Bikeways. Sunset Beach Transportation Most of the traffic utilizing Pacific Coast Highway in the vicinity of Sunset Beach is either passing through the area or destined to development adjacent to the community. The approximately 700 dwelling units and various commercial enterprises within Sunset Beach generate a relatively small portion of the trips using the Highway. For most of its length in the vicinity of Sunset Beach, Pacific Coast Highway is a four lane facility with painted median. Some additional development and redevelopment within Sunset Beach may occur, but the impact of this upon the arterial highway system should be minimal. However, increased development in the areas surrounding Sunset Beach and growing demand for access to coastal resources could further impact Pacific Coast Highway and the arterials leading to it. Because of the constraints inherent in acquiring additional right-of-way for Pacific Coast Highway both within and outside of Sunset Beach, it may be impractical to provide additional travel lanes. Better utilization of the existing right-of-way is a more realistic possibility. As new development and redevelopment occurs, improvements can be made that provide for safe and convenient use of the Highway by pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit vehicles. Also, any new commercial development will have to provide off-street parking and be designed to minimize the number of direct access points to Pacific Coast Highway. An integrated traffic signal system October 2010 Page 18 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan within Sunset Beach can facilitate the flow of traffic. Expanded transit service along Pacific Coast Highway and through the area, to be provided as demand warrants and as financial resources become available, should encourage additional transit use and might somewhat reduce traffic along Pacific Coast Highway. Pacific Coast Highway is operated and maintained by the State Department of Transportation (CalTrans). Thus, any improvement to the Highway is subject to their approval. Local circulation within the Sunset Beach community is tied to parking opportunities and traffic control. Traffic patterns seaward of Pacific Coast Highway revolve around the parking facility located between North and South Pacific Avenues. Traffic movements on other streets are limited by narrow right-of-way and heavy on-street parking. Although there are adequate parking spaces available to meet public, commercial, and residential parking demand, the distribution of available parking negatively affects the supply- demand balance, which causes deficiencies to occur in certain areas. To alleviate the problem, existing parking opportunities need to be retained within the community and maximized wherever possible. Adequate off-street parking will be required in conjunction with all new development or redevelopment of properties. Specific policies and guidelines relating to parking are included in this Specific Plan. Increased transit service and bicycling opportunities should provide access to beach uses without requiring such additional parking. Local circulation and traffic safety will be enhanced by appropriate speed limits. It is expected that the existing 15 miles per hour speed limit on all Sunset Beach Streets, except Pacific Coast Highway, will be retained; however, speed limits must be periodically reviewed to be enforceable. Circulation and safety will also be enhanced by retention of the parking restrictions on North and South Pacific Avenues. Also, conversion of Bay View Drive to one-way operations will be evaluated as a means to improve circulation inland of Pacific Coast Highway. Based on the foregoing, the following circulation policies shall be adhered to: Transportation/Circulation 2.3.1 Speed limits shall be periodically reviewed and vigorously enforced on all local streets within Sunset Beach. 2.3.2 The City shall work with CalTrans to maintain and/or improve signal timing on Pacific Coast Highway. 2.3.3 The feasibility of converting local streets to one-way circulation shall be evaluated. 2.3.4 Required street and highway dedication and improvements normally required per the City Code are not applicable to the Sunset Beach Specific Plan area except for those properties abutting Pacific Coast Highway. However, street dedication for 4th through 26th Streets shall conform to the Typical Section for those streets, as shown in Exhibit 2.4, Typical Section. 2.3.5 Pacific Coast Highway is designated a "scenic highway." To ensure that those scenic characteristics are enhanced, public and private projects shall, wherever feasible, provide landscaping wherever there is adequate space. October 2010 Page 19 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan Parking 2.3.6 To the maximum extent feasible, to maximize visitor servicing needs and ensure public safety, the City shall encourage CalTrans to stripe Pacific Coast Highway to provide a safe width for parallel parking. 2.3.7 All existing on-street parking shall be retained within Sunset Beach and wherever possible establish programs to maximize their use, except when public safety is compromised. 2.3.8 There shall be no parking on North and South Pacific Avenues, except in front of driveways by permit only. 2.3.9 In order to facilitate visitor serving needs, diagonal parking shall be allowed on Anderson Street and Broadway Avenue. 2.3.10 All street ends, except for emergency access, opening onto the beach shall be fully developed for public parking prior to any other public parking development. 2.3.11 Street ends on the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway will be evaluated for opportunities to develop public parking. 2.3.12 Innovative programs to maintain the existing parking supply in residential areas and to provide flexibility for commercial uses shall be encouraged. 2.3.13 Signage and parking control to manage parking supply shall be implemented.

A small portion of the beach at the ocean edge is designated Flood Zone VE, areas of Coastal flood with velocity hazard. Despite the Flood Zone X designation, flood damage in Sunset Beach can occur at times of abnormally high tides when waves overtop the berm and water flows towards the houses. Flood damage resulting from this process, called over-wash, can be reduced by raising the living area of the homes above the level of flowing water. Therefore, special design consideration must be given to development along the shoreline because ocean-water can create a flooding problem. The County of Orange completed a Coastal Flood Plain Development Study, in 1985, to analyze safety measures for structures along the coast. Design guidelines for residential development along the coast are established in Chapter Four of the Coastal Flood Plain Development Study as amended. These guidelines are based on the assumption that the beach will be artificially maintained with a width of at least 150 feet from the ocean-facing private property line. Flowing water is the only design consideration. Should the beach retreat to less width, the possibility of storm erosion and breaking wave activity at the structures may occur and flood protection as regulated by these design guidelines will not provide protection from wave impact forces. Revised design guidelines must then be modified to reflect the circumstances. The County designated the homes seaward of South Pacific Avenue as being in a—FP3 district, subject to flood hazard. The Coastal Flood Plain Development Study requires that any new structure in this area be raised to a specific height above a point on South Pacific Avenue. In addition to providing protection against flood damage, the requirement to build on piling along South Pacific Avenue provides a safety margin should conditions at Sunset Beach return to the way they were in the 1930s when homes were vulnerable to attack by waves. Homes on shallow footings can be rapidly damaged or destroyed if their sand support is lost to erosion. Existing lawful nonconforming residential uses may be severely impacted by the Coastal Flood Plain Development Study and will require special consideration. The publicly owned Sunset Channel has been privately bulkheaded and the streets and alleys, where they abut the channel, were bulkheaded by the County. As set forth in Section 3, new development shall be required to comply with flood plain regulations and the County's study. 2.5 Infrastructure and Utilities Infrastructure Public facilities analyses of infrastructure requirements and detailed design, construction and phasing will be completed as required by the City of Huntington Beach Department of Public Works. Future development within the Specific Plan area will be responsible for the October 2010 Page 22 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan construction of public facilities improvements concurrent with individual project development, subject to review and approval of the Director of Public Works. Water System The City of Huntington Beach has provided domestic water to the Sunset Beach area since fiscal year 1964/65, when it purchased the Sunset Beach Water District. Upon annexation, domestic water for the Sunset Beach area will continue to be provided by.the Public Works Water Division of the City of Huntington Beach. The Water Division provides water to all of the customers within the City of Huntington Beach. The Water Division has use of both underground and imported water sources to service the area. The underground supply comes from nine existing wells, and imported water delivered to the City of Huntington Beach by the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) at three locations. The Specific Plan area is part of the City's Master Plan for Water Service. All water improvements shall be designed to the City of Huntington Beach water standards for future City acceptance and approval. Locations of fire hydrants and apparatuses will be reviewed for each project by the Fire Department and Water Division of the City of Huntington Beach to ensure adequate fire flow and pressure. Sewer System The Sunset Beach Sanitary District, formed in 1930, is responsible for the review and approval of the collection of wastewater within the project area, and the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) is responsible for the treatment of wastewater. Upon annexation, wastewater service will continue to be provided by the Sunset Beach Sanitary District. Storm Drainage The City of Huntington Beach and the Orange County Public Works/Flood Control Section are the agencies responsible for the flood control system in the vicinity of Sunset Beach. New drainage facilities constructed within the Specific Plan area will be maintained either by the City or privately maintained by a homeowner's association. Any drainage facilities designed or sized to accommodate upstream drainage will be designated as public facilities and maintained by the City. Only drainage that is required by City of Huntington Beach Codes and the ordinances of the Sunset Beach Sanitary District shall be drained into the Sunset Beach Sanitary System lines. All other drainage, such as rain water, irrigation water and other on-site drainage shall drain to the public street or public storm drainage system. All development shall meet the provisions of this requirement. Where new storm drains are necessary to accommodate development, they shall be sited and designed to discharge in the least environmentally sensitive location. Storm Drains and/or Catch Basins shall be marked "No dumping- drains to Ocean" or with other appropriate local insignia. October 2010 Page 23 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan Water Quality The City of Huntington Beach is a coastal community noted for its beaches, which attract numerous people to the area. The beaches support the City's economy and the well being of the City's economy is dependent on maintaining quality of coastal waters. The flow of untreated stormwater and urban runoff can have an adverse impact on the quality of coastal waters since storm drains eventually discharge into the ocean. The City's Coastal Element notes that the City can upgrade water quality by controlling pollutants that enter coastal waters through urban runoff.

Sunset Beach LCP Review Board The County's Sunset Beach LCP was developed largely through the vigorous efforts of the Sunset Beach community through the LCP Advisory Committee. Subsequent to the County's LCP adoption, the Board of Supervisors designated the Sunset Beach LCP Conformity and Violation Review Board (commonly known as the "LCP Board") as the official citizen's review group in Sunset Beach. The Committee helped identify the community lifestyle and special needs of Sunset Beach. It recognizes the complex needs and limits of planning an area that is 96 percent developed. Coastal Act Policies have been applied with sensitivity to the existing community. The Sunset Beach LCP Review Board provides continuing community participation in the long- term process of implementing the provisions of this Specific Plan. Such process does not replace the current mode of community participation, but provides a centralized forum for obtaining community opinion and for transmitting recommendations to the City. The LCP Review Board's specific function and membership is contained in a separate document titled "Bylaws of the Sunset Beach Advisory Committee (LCP Board)." In addition, the Director of Planning and Building shall forward the following items to the Sunset Beach LCP Review Board: ■ All discretionary permit applications, special event permits and harbor permits for review and comment at least 21 calendar days prior to final action by the approving authority. Any changes to floor plans or site plans associated with the discretionary permit shall be resubmitted to the Review Board prior to final action by the City. ® Requests for Special event signs and Portable signs. ® A copy of all Certificates of Occupancy issued by the City for their records. ■ A copy of Certificates of Occupancy and encroachment permits issued for any use of public properties within three days of issuance for their records.

The motion carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Hansen, Dwyer, Bohr, and Green NOES: None ABSENT: Carchio, Hardy, and Coerper ATTACHMENT NO. 1 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL, NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 10-005/ ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 10-002/ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO. 10-001/ LOCAL COASTAL, PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO. 10-001 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 10-005: 1. The Negative Declaration No. 10-005 has been prepared in compliance with Article 6 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines. It was advertised and available for a public comment period of 30 days. Comments received during the comment period were considered by the City Council prior to action on the Negative Declaration and General Plan Amendment No. 10- 002, Zoning Text Amendment No. 10-002,Zoning Map Amendment No. 10-001, Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 10-001 and Annexation No. 10-001. 2. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the City Council that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Annexation, General Plan Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, Zoning Text Amendment and Local Coastal Program Amendment will not create any additional density or intensity of land use in the Sunset Beach area over that which is currently allowed by the County of Orange Sunset Beach Local Coastal Program/Specific Plan. The City of Huntington Beach already provides water to the area, as well as police and fire services through mutual aid agreements. After analyzing the potential impacts associated with the project, it has been determined that the project will not have a significant impact on the City's ability to provide services to the Sunset Beach area and the City as a whole. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 10-002 and ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO. 10-001: I. Zoning Map Amendment No. 10-001 amending District Map Nos. 21 and 35 to prezone an approximately 134 acre as Sunset Beach Specific Plan(Specific Plan 17)with a Coastal Zone Overlay and Zoning Text Amendment No. 10-002 to adopt the Sunset Beach Specific Plan are consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan because the Specific Plan provides for a cohesive development of residential, commercial and public uses consistent with the existing development pattern and standards, and compatible with adjacent uses in the vicinity. The Specific Plan is consistent with General Plan policies that require protection of beach and open space resources, encourage visitor serving and mixed uses, and provide for differentiation of the City's neighborhoods. As discussed in the Negative Declaration for the project, there will be appropriate infrastructure and services available to support the Sunset Beach area upon annexation. 2. In the case of general land use provisions,the Zoning Map Amendment and proposed Specific Plan are compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the zoning district for which it is proposed. The standards of the proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan are consistent with those that have governed the Sunset Beach area for over almost 30 years and have provided for 10/1 8/10 Attachment No. 1.1 development that is compatible with uses in the vicinity, which are residential, commercial, open space and recreation. 3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. The Sunset Beach Specific Plan will provide standards that will be consistent with the Sunset Beach Specific Plan approved by the County of Orange and the California Coastal Commission. These standards ensure the preservation of numerous public uses such as the beach, waterway,park and public parking facility that serve the community of Sunset Beach and surrounding area. The prezoning will facilitate the annexation of the area to the City of Huntington Beach, which allows for more efficient delivery of municipal services to the area. 4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. The Specific Plan provides for compatible land uses and continuation of the public use areas (beach, park, parking, waterway)to serve the community. The development standards will maintain the existing character of the community. Adequate infrastructure and services are available to serve the area. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 17: 1. The Specific Plan is consistent with the adopted Land Use Element of the General Plan and with the certified Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan and other applicable policies and is compatible with existing and surrounding development. The Specific Plan carries forward the existing overall goals and policies of the existing County of Orange Local Coastal Program/Specific Plan for Sunset Beach including land uses, preservation of the beach and other public uses, coastal views and access. 2. The Specific Plan will enhance the potential for superior urban design in comparison with the development under the base district provisions that would apply if the Plan were not approved. The Specific Plan contains the development standards established by the County of Orange in recognition of the small lot sizes and unique development pattern of the Sunset Beach community that will ensure consistency with existing development. 3. Deviations from the base district provisions that otherwise would apply are justified by compensating benefits of the Specific Plan. The Specific Plan provides for cohesive development of the residential and commercial areas with many reduced standards compared with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. Compensating benefits include significant and well located public open space and scenic vistas of the Pacific Ocean. Approximately 55 percent of the area, excluding streets, is publicly owned and utilized. The Specific Plan provides for the continuation of 27 street-end public access points to the beach and a portion of the community is divided by a public channel. 4. The Specific Plan includes.adequate provisions for utilities, services, and emergency vehicle access; and public service demands will not exceed the capacity of existing and planned systems. As analyzed in Negative Declaration No. 10-005, the public service demands for the Specific Plan will not exceed the capacity of existing and planned systems, including the transfer of services from Orange County to the City of Huntington Beach after annexation. All public services, both before and after annexation, will be adequately met by existing resources including fire, police and emergency services. 10/18/10 Attachment No. 1.2 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL—LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT NO. 10-001: 1. Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 10-001 amends the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program to reflect the annexation of Sunset Beach to the City of Huntington Beach including the adoption of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan, amendment of the zoning map, and text and figure changes in the Land Use Plan. The amendments propose the same type of land uses for the Sunset Beach area as allowed by the County of Orange certified Local Coastal Program/Specific Plan for Sunset Beach, including high density residential, visitor serving commercial,public and open space. The amendments continue the community's commitment to coastal access and coastal recreational resources and are consistent with the City's General Plan. 2. The proposed change to the Local Coastal Program is in accordance with the policies, standards and provisions of the California Coastal Act relative to land use,public access,public recreation,public views and preservation of beaches. The Local Coastal Program Amendment promotes the City's Local Coastal Program goals and objectives by allowing a mix of uses, including 55 percent of the land designated for public use,visitor serving commercial and high density residential, while preserving 27 existing public access points to the beach and existing scenic vista points. The proposed Specific Plan improves on the existing certified County Local Coastal Program/Specific Plan by adding requirements for bicycle parking to be included in new development and a water quality section. 3. The project conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. The Specific Plan preserves 27 existing public access points to the beach and existing scenic vista points. The main public beach, small beach at 1 Vh Street and Pacific Coast Highway, Sunset Channel and Sunset Greenbelt(linear park)/public parking facility remain designated for public use with appropriate policies and standards. No existing coastal access will be impacted. 10/18/10 Attachment No. 1.3 A C TION Monday, October 18, 2010 MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL CITY COUNCIL, REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY CATHY GREEN and PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY Mayor JILL HARDY GIL COERPER Councilmember CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Mayor Pro Term KEITH BOHR DEVIN DWYER 909 2009 Councilmember Councilmember 4:00 PM - Study Session, Room B-8 , JOE CARCHIO DON HANSEN 6:00 PM - Regular Meeting Counciimember Councilmember Council Chambers - 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 http://www.surfcity-hb.org 4:00 PM - ROOM B-8 CALL TO ORDER— 4:06 PM ROLL CALL - (Mayor Pro Tern .gill Hardy and Councilmember Gil Coerper have requested permission to be absent pursuant to Resolution No. 2001-54) Carchio, Coerper, Hardy, Green, Bohr, Dwyer, Hansen (Carchio, Coerper, Hardy absent) ANNOUNCEMENT OF LATE COMMUNICATION Joan L.

Analysis: A. PROJECT PROPOSAL: Applicant: City of Huntington Beach, 2000 Main St., Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Property Owner: Various; there are 497 parcels in Sunset Beach and 441 property owners based on available information from the County of Orange. Location: Unincorporated Sunset Beach, located between Warner Avenue and Anderson Street on either side of Pacific Coast Highway, including the beach area Annexation No. 10-001 is a City-initiated proposal to annex the approximately 134 acre unincorporated Sunset Beach community to the City of Huntington Beach. The property is currently located within the jurisdiction of the County of Orange. General Plan Amendment No. 10-002 represents a request for the following (Attachment No. 2): A. Amend the General Plan Land Use Map (Figure LU-5) to establish General Plan land use designations for the Sunset Beach area as follows - approximately 22.3 acres for Residential High Density-30, 9.2 acres for Visitor Serving Commercial-Mixed Use Overlay, 13.0 acres for Public, 3.4 acres for Open Space-Water Recreation and 57.7 acres for Open Space-Shoreline. The remainder of the area is right-of-way. The entire area would also have a Specific Plan Overlay. The proposed City of Huntington Beach General Plan land use designations mirror those of the existing County of Orange Land Use Plan for Sunset Beach. B. Designate the Sunset Beach area as Subarea 4L on the Community District and Subarea Schedule (Figure LU-6 and Table LU-4) C. Amend Table LU-3 to add a reference to "specific plans"for the Mixed Use Overlay. D. Update figures to reflect the change in the City's boundary E. Make minor wording changes to the Utility Element F. Update the Recreation and Community Services Element to reflect updated recreational amenity information. Zoning Text Amendment No. 10-002 represents a request to create the Sunset Beach Specific Plan (Specific Plan 17) that will provide development standards for the Specific Plan area pursuant to Chapter 215 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (ZSO). The Sunset Beach area is currently governed by a County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan. The proposed City of Huntington Beach Specific Plan proposes to maintain the intent of the existing Specific Plan in terms of land use plan, districts and regulations (Attachment No. 3). Zoning Map Amendment No. 10-001 represents a request to amend the City of Huntington Beach Zoning Map to pre-zone the Sunset Beach area with the Sunset Beach Specific Plan Item 13. ® Page 4 -146- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 1 011 8/201 0 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL10-27 and a Coastal Zone Overlay pursuant to Chapter 247 of the ZSO. Pre-zoning is required for annexation to be approved (Attachment No. 4). Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 10-001 represents a request for the following (Attachment No. 5), pursuant to Chapter 247 of the ZSO: A. Amend the City of Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan to: 1) amend the certified Land Use Plan (Figure C-5) to establish City Land Use Designations for the Sunset Beach area consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designations described above, including designating it as Subarea 4L on the Community District and Subarea Schedule (Figure C-10 and Table C-2); 2) amend Land Use Plan Table C-1 to add a reference to "specific plans" for the Mixed Use Overlay; and 3) amend various text sections of the Land Use Plan to include descriptions of the Sunset Beach area and update the figures to reflect the change in City boundary. B. Amend the Implementation Plan to reflect the Zoning Map Amendment and Zoning Text Amendment described above. Draft Negative Declaration No. 10-005 analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with the General Plan Amendment, Zoning Text Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, Local Coastal Program Amendment and annexation of Sunset Beach (Attachment No. 8). The proposed entitlements establish City of Huntington Beach General Plan, Local Coastal Program and zoning designations for Sunset Beach if it is annexed to the City of Huntington Beach. Due to the unique character and built out nature of the community, a specific plan is proposed to best carry forward the community-established goals for the area. The Sunset Beach area is currently regulated by a County of Orange specific plan. City staff has annotated the County's specific plan to indicate which sections of that specific plan have been carried forward into the City's proposed document and where they are located in the document (Attachment No. 6). The proposed entitlements do not propose or require any development activity. They are necessary for the City to annex Sunset Beach, which the City believes will result in a more efficient provision of municipal services and not have a negative fiscal impact on the City. The Local Coastal Program Amendment is subject to review and approval by the California Coastal Commission, which approval must occur in order for the proposed zoning and land use designations to be in effect from a regulatory perspective. B. BACKGROUND: The County of Orange approved the Sunset Beach Specific Plan/Local Coastal Program in 1981, and it was certified by the California Coastal Commission in 1983. The County of Orange approved an Addendum to the Sunset Beach Specific Plan/Local Coastal Program in 1990, which was certified by the California Coastal Commission in 1991. In 2009, the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) placed the unincorporated Sunset Beach area in the City of Huntington Beach's Sphere of Influence thereby allowing for potential annexation of the area to the City. In 2009 and 2010, City representatives attended Sunset Beach Community Association meetings regarding possible annexation. On August 2, 2010, the City Council directed staff -147- Item 13. ® Page 5 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 10/18/2010 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL10-27 to proceed with the annexation process and associated entitlements and established a Sunset Beach Area Council Committee (SBACC). The SBACC held its first meeting on August 25t". The SBACC held its second meeting on September 14t" and began discussion on a list of items that the Sunset Beach Community Association would like to be included as part of the annexation agreement and/or adopted by the City Council (Attachment No. 11). Items 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 13, and -14 are addressed all or in part in the proposed project entitlements. Sunset Beach representatives, City Council Committee members and staff are continuing discussions on all of the items. Prior to the Planning Commission public hearing, discussed below, three Planning Commission study sessions were held in 2010. On August 10t", the overall project was introduced; on August 24t", the proposed Specific Plan was reviewed; on September 14t" the draft Negative Declaration was reviewed. The Study Session Reports include a detailed review of the draft Specific Plan and other project components. A courtesy notice for the entire study session schedule, as well as the overall project schedule, was sent to all Post Office Box holders at the Sunset Beach Post Office and to property owners in Sunset Beach as well as interested parties, and was posted at the Sunset Beach Post Office bulletin board. C. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 28, 2010 for the proposed project. Six people spoke during the public hearing. Three of the speakers spoke against the project, citing concerns with the City's financial ability to adequately serve Sunset Beach as well as the City of Huntington Beach. Letters were read by two of the speakers and are provided in Attachment No. 13. Particular concerns were raised regarding the ability of the Police Department to provide adequate service. Two of the speakers stated that the Negative Declaration was not adequate in its analysis of the City's ability to provide services and should not be approved; one of these speakers stated that a comprehensive financial analysis had not been done but should be completed The speakers indicated that there were errors in the report attachments, specifically referencing the Annexation Feasibility Study reviewed and approved by the City Council on August 2, 2010, as well as attachments for the General Plan Amendment and Local Coastal Program Amendment, which are addressed in the analysis section of this report. A fourth speaker expressed concern regarding the dilution of power and suggested that consideration be given to having an extra City Councilmember to represent Sunset Beach. A member of the Sunset Beach Community Association Transition Committee spoke in support of the project and recommended approval. The final speaker address three points: closure of the beach at night, the ability to maintain the artificial berm on the beach parallel to the homes along South Pacific Avenue and ownership of the beach. Discussion ensued with the Planning Commission and staff. The Police Department representative responded to questions from the Planning Commission regarding how Sunset Beach would be served and the statistics in the staff report that were called into question during the public hearing. The Commission inquired as to beach closure procedures. Staff responded that Marine Safety and the Police Department provide this service in the City and would continue to do so for Sunset Beach. Staff also noted that there is an existing County contract for beach operation that would continue. The Commission inquired as to whether ownership or easement of the beach was significant; staff indicated that it did not affect the land use entitlements. The Commission asked if trash or sewer service would be affected by Item 13. - Page 6 -148- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION - MEETING DATE: 10/18/2010 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PE10-27 the annexation in response to pubic hearing comments. Staff indicated that there were no proposed changes to these services. The Planning Commission took action to recommend approval of the proposed project to the City Council. D. STAFF ANALYSIS This section reviews the proposed annexation in the context of the City's General Plan, the amendments to the General Plan and Local Coastal Program, the proposed Specific Plan, and the environmental impacts associated with the proposed project. Annexation The City's General Plan requires the preparation of an Annexation Feasibility Study to determine whether a proposed annexation is compatible with City land uses, has the ability to provide economic benefit to the City and whether the proposed annexation would place an undue or excessive burden on the City and/or School. Districts' ability to provide public services for the site. The City prepared such a study (Attachment No. 10) to analyze whether annexation of the Sunset Beach area would create a financial burden on the City. The report determined that annexation would result in revenues that will exceed expenditures for the City and that the proposed annexation would not place an undue or excessive burden for the provision of services. This study was reviewed by the City Council on August 2, 2010 after having been peer-reviewed by LAFCO. The Specific Plan area is presently served by the Huntington Beach Union High School and the Ocean View School District both of which will continue to serve the site after annexation. The potential impacts on the provision of public services including City Fire and Police Departments' services were analyzed within Negative Declaration No. 10-005. The environmental document concludes that the site would be adequately served by existing resources within both departments and is discussed in greater detail below. The City already provides water to Sunset Beach; local sewer service is provided by the Sunset Beach Sanitary District. Service delivery for both water and sewer will not change with the annexation. The proposed project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The proposed Specific Plan allows for residential, commercial, and recreational/open space uses consistent with existing development in and adjacent to Sunset Beach and, as such, results in compatible land uses. The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan is consistent with the Orange County Local Coastal Program/Specific Plan for Sunset Beach. No change in use is proposed for any property in the annexation area. General Plan Amendment The project includes amendments to the Land Use Element, Recreation and Community Services Element and Utilities Element of the General Plan as described in the Project Proposal section of this report. The proposed amendments are consistent with the City's General Plan. The Planning Commission staff report (Attachment No. 12) provides an analysis of how the proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan goals, objectives and policies. -149- Item 13. a Page 7 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 10/18/2010 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL10-27 The changes to the Land Use Element provide City land use designations for Sunset Beach consistent with the established land uses in the area, and the newly created Sub-area designation is in recognition of the proposed Specific Plan for the area. The Recreation and Community Services Element is being updated to incorporate facilities/resources in Sunset Beach as well as update the inventory citywide to reflect corrected acreage information and new parks that have been constructed since the General Plan was updated in 1996. In response to comments at the Planning Commission public hearing, staff has further modified text in this Element to clarify that fire rings are not present on the beach in Sunset Beach and that the paved bike trail that extends the length of the shoreline terminates at Warner Avenue, i.e. does not extend into Sunset Beach. It should be noted that the City's proposed Specific Plan for Sunset Beach does not allow these types of facilities/improvements on the beach in Sunset Beach. The Utilities Element is being updated to add reference to the Sunset Beach Sanitary District, an independent district providing local sewer service to Sunset Beach. Concerns were expressed by a speaker at the Planning Commission public hearing regarding the City's ability to provide water to Sunset Beach based on water storage information, etc. on the two pages of the Utilities Element that are proposed for amendment. The information in question was prepared with the 1996 General Plan Update and, although there have been numerous infrastructure and water storage improvements as well as Master Plan updates since then, the City has not done an update of the Utilities Element. This would typically be done with a comprehensive update of the General Plan. The General Plan Implementation Programs identify Master Plans (Storm Drain, Water, Sewer) that are to be updated more regularly than a General Plan would be. In terms of the City's Water Master Plan, it is updated every five years (twice since 1996) and the City has been implementing improvements as identified in the Master Plan. The City has provided water to Sunset Beach since the mid-1960s and will continue to adequately do so upon annexation. Local Coastal Program Amendment The project includes a request to amend the City's Local Coastal Program to include the Sunset Beach area in its Local Coastal Program and to incorporate the other components of this project, e.g. rezoning and Specific Plan adoption. The changes to the Land Use Plan provide City land use designations for Sunset Beach consistent with the established land uses in the area. The text changes to the City's Coastal Element add discussion regarding Sunset Beach so that it is integrated into the City's Land Use Plan and include updated tables and text. The Planning Commission staff report (Attachment No. 12) provides an analysis of how the proposed project is consistent with the City's Local Coastal Program goals, objectives and policies. Similar to the discussion above on the General Plan Amendment, in response to comments at the Planning Commission public hearing, staff has further modified text in the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan (Coastal Element) to clarify that fire rings are not present on the beach in Sunset Beach and that the paved bike trail that extends the length of the shoreline terminates at Warner Avenue, i.e. does not extend into Sunset Beach. Specific Plan On August 10th the City distributed its draft Specific Plan for Sunset Beach. To prepare the draft, staff completed a detailed evaluation of the County's existing Specific Plan. The City Item 13. - Page 8 -ISO- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING ®ATE: 10/18/2010 DEPARTMENT I® NUMBER: PL10-27 distributed an annotated copy of the County's Specific Plan providing references to the August 10th draft at this time (Attachment No. 6). These documents were reviewed at a Planning Commission Study Session on August 24th. In response to community input and as a result of final data gathering, staff produced a legislative September draft (showing changes since August) that was considered at the Planning Commission public hearing. After distribution of that staff report but prior to the hearing, additional changes and corrections were requested by the community. These were presented as late communications at the September 28th Planning Commission hearing (included with the Planning Commission report, Attachment No. 12). In approving the draft Specific Plan, the Planning Commission made one other change pertaining to the purview of the Sunset Beach LCP Review Board to review special event permit requests. All changes to the September draft approved by the Planning Commission have been incorporated into the current draft, dated October 2010. The October 2010 draft shows additional changes and- corrections since the September 28th Planning Commission hearing. Overview The City's proposed Specific Plan includes the policies/guidelines that are necessary to maintain the Sunset Beach character in recognition of the fact that the area is nearly built out and has been developed and operating under the guidance of a consistent set of policies/guidelines for over two decades. The City's proposed Specific Plan mirrors the County's Specific Plan in terms of the land use designation pattern. The City's proposed Specific Plan carries forward the County's guidelines for preservation and maintenance of the existing scenic vista points, the artificial dune, the 27 existing public access points to the beach, public use of the waterway (Sunset Channel), 11th Street beach and the greenbelt/linear park and public parking facility. These guidelines are specific to the circumstances in Sunset Beach and are necessary to recognize and continue these facilities. The Specific Plan is consistent with the City's General Plan and Local Coastal Program; however, the Specific Plan contains some provisions that take a different approach than existing City policies, as summarized below. ® Guideline 2.2.1.iii addresses the protection of both public and private views of the ocean. The California Coastal Act, and the City of Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program, only require protection of public views. The development pattern adjacent to the beach in Sunset Beach is markedly different than in Huntington Beach in that approximately 152 properties directly abut the public beach. Staff does not recommend nor think it is necessary that the City change its LCP to protect private views but only allow for this in the Sunset Beach Specific Plan as this has been their standard for over two decades. ® Guideline 2.2.2 does not allow any permanent above-ground structures on the beach. Per the development standards, this precludes everything except lifeguard towers (seasonal) and other facilities necessary for public safety as well as temporary uses associated with the adjacent residential uses, e.g. decks. Fire rings, roadways, bike paths, etc. are not allowed on Sunset Beach by the Specific Plan; whereas, these types of amenities are present on the beaches in Huntington Beach. In addition, the City does not have an existing system for temporary encroachments, e.g. decks, on the beach. Similar to the discussion regarding guideline 2.2.1.iii, staff recommends continuing the County's policy. ® Guideline 2.3.8 allows parking on the drive approach directly in front of the garage and on the street on North and South Pacific Avenues. The County issues encroachment permits -151- Item 13. s Page REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 10/18/2010 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL10-27 to residential property owners to allow parking in the public right-of-way. This encroachment permit program, implemented via a resolution (since 1984), also allows for this type of parking on the numbered streets, Bay View, Broadway and Park Avenue. ® Administration, Section 4.2. A unique component of the County's specific plan is the role of the Sunset Beach LCP Review Board, which is an appointed, volunteer group of Sunset Beach residents that meet regularly and serve as a citizen review group. Consistent with the County's specific plan, the City's document requires that all discretionary permit applications be sent to the Board at least 21 calendar days prior to final action, as well as other items. The LCP Review Board will be appointed by the City Council. This would be the only area in the City with a citizen board of this type. Development Standard Changes Included as Part of Planning Commission Action The City's Specific Plan does not propose any change to the majority of the site development standards for setbacks, height, on-site open space, fences/walls, accessory structures and signs. In general, the County's standards are more permissive, resulting in a denser development pattern, which is likely in recognition of the small lot sizes and limited area for development. The County's specific plan does make numerous references to the County's Zoning Ordinance that would not be appropriate to reference in the City's Specific Plan. Therefore, staff has taken language from the County's Zoning Code and added it to the proposed Specific Plan. This has been done for the following items: ® Sunset Beach Residential: Side setbacks adjacent to other building sites-added the specific allowance for two feet from County code ® Building Height-Added a General Provision (3.2.16) that specifies how height is measured and clarified that rooftop decks do not count as a story (3.3.1.F.1) . Fences and Walls-Added Section 3.3.5 to address requirements for fences and walls. This Section is taken from the County's zoning code, which is referenced in their specific plan ■ Accessory Uses and Structures-Added Section 3.3.7 to address standards for these uses/structures. This Section is taken from the County's zoning code. Based on input from the Sunset Beach community and staff analysis, staff proposed some clarifying language and changes. Key changes that were considered and approved by the Planning Commission are summarized below: ■ Required compliance with the bicycle parking requirements of the ZSO for new development (applies to commercial and multi-family projects) ® Added language at the request of the Fire Department related to drive aisle width, such that wider drive aisles, more consistent with City code, would be provided in development if reasonably accommodated ® Expanded the list of prohibited uses in response to a request from the Sunset Beach Community Association Transition Committee ■ Added clarifying language on beach encroachment, per existing County regulations. . Added additional language to the Water Quality section in response to a comment from the RWQCB • Clarified conditional use permit and coastal development permit processes Proposed Specific Plan Changes Since Planning Commission Action Item 13. ® Page 10 -152- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION {MEETING DATE: 10/18/2010 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL10-27 The Sunset Beach Community Association Transition Commission notified staff that the community would like short-term rentals (rentals of less than 30 days) to be listed as a permitted use, subject to a conditional use permit, in the Sunset Beach Residential district. The Association estimates that there are between 30 and 40 homes that rent on a short-term basis, most of these are located on South Pacific Avenue. The County Specific Plan does not reference short-term rentals, and County staff has indicated that the County does not regulate them, i.e., homeowners may rent out their homes as they choose. The City does not currently allow for short-term rentals in homes, unless operated as a bed and breakfast, which requires a minimum 10,000 square foot lot and extra on-site parking. In the case of Sunset Beach, none of the residential lots could meet these criteria. Based on discussions with property owners who currently have short-term rentals in Sunset Beach and members of the Association, the majority of the short-term rental properties are well managed and not incompatible with long-term rentals or owner-occupied units. Issues that arise with the short-term rentals tend to relate to excessive noise and behavior associated with parties. Community members that we have heard from think that these issues can be addressed through conditions of approval and enforcement of the City's noise ordinance and that responsible operators of short-term rentals, which constitute the majority, should not be penalized. Finally, many of the property owners bought their properties with the understanding that the County did not regulate short-term rentals. Based on the foregoing, staff has included short-term rentals as being permitted, subject to entitlements, in the October draft Specific Plan. In addition to this change, staff has corrected a numbering error in the Land Use Plan Guidelines section. Prior to the Planning Commission meeting, staff had received inquiries from some Sunset Beach residents regarding other potential changes to the Specific Plan related to prohibiting overnight stays on boats and maintenance provisions for the artificial berm on the main beach. Staff has not made associated changes in the Specific Plan for these items as they generally relate to Municipal Code topics. Changes will be made to the City's Municipal Code to implement many of the ongoing County practices including parking permits, harbor permits, beach encroachments and the LCP Review Board, all of which are allowed by the existing and proposed Specific Plan. No other changes have been requested since the Planning Commission meeting. Draft Negative Declaration Draft Negative Declaration No. 10-005 analyzes potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. The annexation and associated zoning and general plan entitlements do not include a development project. The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan reflects the land use plan as approved by Orange County and the California Coastal Commission. Thus, there is no change to the number or location of properties designated for residential and commercial development or areas designated for open space. The proposed Specific Plan does not include any new infrastructure extensions or roadway. Thus, any potential development that may occur in the future, could also occur now under the existing regulations in effect. The Draft Negative Declaration concludes that there will be no impacts associated with Population and Housing, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water Quality, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Mineral Resources, Noise, Utilities and Service Systems, Aesthetics, -153- Item 13. - Page 11 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 10/18/2010 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL10-27 Cultural Resources, Recreation and Agricultural Resources. The Draft Negative Declaration concludes less than significant impacts associated with Land Use and Planning, Transportation/Traffic, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Public Services and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The less than significant impacts associated with the first three issue areas stem from differences in standards in the proposed Specific Plan (no change from existing) compared with what is currently required in most areas of Huntington Beach. Specifically, some of the standards for street sections and drive aisles that are designated as fire lanes are less in the proposed Specific Plan. The City of Huntington Beach Fire Department currently responds to approximately 80 percent of the calls in Sunset Beach. They are able to meet response time goals despite the existing standards being less than desirable. The Draft Negative Declaration identifies that that there would be a less than significant impact associated with the adoption of the proposed Specific Plan in this regard. The less than significant impact for Public Services is due to the potential increase in calls for service that the City of Huntington Beach Police and Fire Departments may experience as a result of the annexation. The Draft Negative Declaration reviews the statistics in terms of calls for service and responding agency for Sunset Beach. The Police Department is expected to experience the largest increase in calls, given that the County Sheriff's Department provides the majority of law enforcement services in the area. However, the Police Department has indicated that the increase will not have a significant impact on their operations and ability to provide adequate service to the area and the rest of Huntington Beach. In response to a comment regarding Police services to the area, language was added to the Negative Declaration analysis; see the Errata in Attachment No. 8. Subsequent to the public comment period, two letters were received regarding the Negative Declaration as it relates to police services (Attachment No. 12). The Police Department reviewed the letters and believes that the revised analysis in the Negative Declaration Errata adequately addresses the issues raised. The same issues were raised at the Planning Commission public hearing and responded to by the Police Department. The potential increase in calls for service for the Fire Department is comparatively small, given that they effectively are the primary responder in the area now. Accordingly, associated impacts with the increased calls for service will be less than significant. The last issue area for which less than significant impacts were identified was Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The CEQA threshold asks if the project would generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment. The draft Negative Declaration identifies that there may be indirect emissions associated with construction of buildings pursuant to the Specific Plan and the operation of existing and future development; however, these would be insignificant given that 99 percent of the community is already built out and due to parcel pattern and development standards, which significantly limit the size of individual projects and amount of development that could occur. SUMMARY: Staff recommends approval of Negative Declaration No. 10-005, General Plan Amendment No. 10-002, Zoning Text Amendment No. 10-002, Zoning Map Amendment No. 10-001, Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 10-001 and Annexation No. 10-001 because: - The proposed project will not result in significant impacts on the environment. Item 13. ® Page 1 -1 54- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION -- MEETING DATE: 10/18/2010 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL10-27 - The proposed land use and pre-zoning designations will result in land use and zoning designations for the Sunset Beach area that are consistent with the existing land uses and zoning designations. - The Local Coastal Program Amendment is consistent with the California Coastal Act and the project provides for continued preservation of existing coastal recreational resources, coastal access and maintenance of coastal views. - The Specific Plan carries forward the existing overall goals, policies and standards of the County's Specific Plan for Sunset Beach, which are designed to address the unique development pattern of the community. - Pre-zoning of the project site will allow the City to annex the area to the City, which would result in a fiscal benefit to the City and allow for more efficient provision of services. Environmental Status: A draft Negative Declaration was prepared for the proposed project pursuant to Section 240.04 of the HBZSO and the provisions of the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) (Attachment No. 8). The draft Negative Declaration concludes that the proposed project will not result in any significant adverse environmental effects. The 30-day public review period for the document began on August 12, 2010 and ended on September 10, 2010. Five comment letters (Attachment No. 9) were received during the public comment period from the California Department of Transportation, California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Native American Heritage Commission, Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission and Mr. Lyman Lokken, a resident and property owner in Sunset Beach. A discussion of each of the comment letters is provided below. California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) Comments: The CalTrans comment letter provides information on the Department's encroachment permit process, should any work be proposed in the vicinity of their right-of-way. The City is aware of the CalTrans' encroachment permit process. No changes are required to the draft Negative Declaration as a result of the information in the comment letter. California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Comments` The RWQCB comment letter consists of five comments on the Draft Specific Plan, which is an attachment to the Negative Declaration. There are no comments on the analysis in the Negative Declaration itself. Planning and Public Works staff have reviewed the comments, which suggest clarifying text, and have made changes to the draft Specific Plan as a result. However, staff does not think that it is necessary to add more information to the Specific Plan on Best Management Practices (BMPs) given that they are site and project specific, can vary greatly, and are guided by the Permit issued by the RWQCB, which is amended on a regular basis. No changes are required to the draft Negative Declaration as a result of the information in the comment letter. Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Comments: The NAHC comment letter indicates that as a result of a Sacred Lands File search in their inventory, no Native American Cultural Resources were identified within one-half mile of the subject project. There are, however, considerable Native American Cultural Resources in close proximity to the area. The comment letter provides a list of Native American contacts and indicates that avoidance of cultural resources should be considered during project planning. The proposed -155- Item 13. - Page 13 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 10/18/2010 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL10-27 project does not propose any development and no known resources exist within Sunset Beach. The City initiated consultation with the Native American contacts on August 13, 2010, two contacts have responded and indicated that they do not have concerns with the proposed project. No changes are required to the draft Negative Declaration as a result of the information in the comment letter. Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission Comments: The LAFCO comment letter indicates that they are a responsible agency for the annexation and that they do not have any comments on the Negative Declaration. No changes are required to the draft Negative Declaration as a result of their comment. Mr. Lyman Lokken Comments: Mr. Lokken's comment letter consists of five comments on the draft Negative Declaration and one comment on an attachment to the document. The first three comments provide information on text references and data in the document. With regard to the size of the annexation area, the City has had a legal description completed, which results in an acreage number that is consistent with one of the numbers provided in Mr. Lokken's letter. The Negative Declaration has been updated accordingly. Staff has also updated the text of the Negative Declaration based on the other information he provided. The fourth comment is regarding provisions of police services after annexation. Additional information and data regarding the Police Department's operations have been added to the Negative Declaration. The last comment on the Negative Declaration appears to be a point of information but does not necessitate a change to the document. The final comment has been addressed in the proposed Local Coastal Program Amendment changes in Attachment No. 5. The changes to Negative Declaration No. 10-005 are provided in an Errata, which is included in Attachment No. 8. Environmental Board Comments: The Environmental Board was notified of the Negative Declaration and staff attended the Environmental Board meeting at which the Board discussed the proposed project. The Environmental Board did not submit a comment letter. Prior to any action on General Plan Amendment No. 10-002, Zoning Text Amendment No. 10-002, Zoning Map Amendment No. 10-001, Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 10- 001 and Annexation No. 10-001, it is necessary for the City Council to review and act on Negative Declaration No. 10-005. Staff, in its initial study of the project, is recommending that the Negative Declaration be approved with findings.

The Negative Declaration No. 10-005 has been prepared in compliance with Article 6 of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) Guidelines. It was advertised and available for a public comment period of 30 days. Comments received during the comment period were considered by the City Council prior to action on the Negative Declaration and General Plan Amendment No. 10- 002, Zoning Text Amendment No. 10-002,Zoning Map Amendment No. 10-001, Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 10-001 and Annexation No. 10-001. 2. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the City Council that the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Annexation, General Plan Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, Zoning Text Amendment and Local Coastal Program Amendment will not create any additional density or intensity of land use in the Sunset Beach area over that which is currently allowed by the County of Orange Sunset Beach Local Coastal Program/Specific Plan. The City of Huntington Beach already provides water to the area, as well as police and fire services through mutual aid agreements. After analyzing the potential-impacts associated with the project, it has been determined that the project will not have a significant impact on the City's ability to provide services to the Sunset Beach area and the City as a whole. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 10-002 and ZONING MAP AMENDMENT NO. 10-001: 1. Zoning Map Amendment No. 10-001 amending District Map Nos. 21 and 35 to prezone an approximately 134 acre as Sunset Beach Specific Plan (Specific Plan 17)with a Coastal Zone Overlay and Zoning Text Amendment No. 10-002 to adopt the Sunset Beach Specific Plan are consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan because the Specific Plan provides for a cohesive development of residential,commercial and public uses consistent with the existing development pattern and standards, and compatible with adjacent uses in the vicinity. The Specific Plan is consistent with General Plan policies that require protection of beach and open space resources, encourage visitor serving and mixed uses, and provide for differentiation of the City's neighborhoods. As discussed in the Negative Declaration for the project, there will be appropriate infrastructure and services available to support the Sunset Beach area upon annexation. 2. In the case of general land use provisions, the Zoning Map Amendment and proposed Specific Plan are compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for,the zoning district for which it is proposed. The standards of the proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan are consistent with those that have governed the Sunset Beach area for over almost 30 years and have provided for 10/18/10 -159- Item 13. - Page 17 development that is compatible with uses in the vicinity, which are residential, commercial,open space and recreation. 3. A community need is demonstrated for the change proposed. The Sunset Beach Specific Plan will provide standards that will be consistent with the Sunset Beach Specific Plan approved by the County of Orange and the California Coastal Commission. These standards ensure the preservation of numerous public uses such as the beach, waterway,park and public parking facility that serve the community of Sunset Beach and surrounding area. The prezoning will facilitate the annexation of the area to the City of Huntington Beach, which allows for more efficient delivery of municipal services to the area. 4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. The Specific Plan provides for compatible land uses and continuation of the public use areas(beach, park,parking, waterway)to serve the community. The development standards will maintain the existing character of the community. Adequate infrastructure and services are available to serve the area. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL,- SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 17: 1. The Specific Plan is consistent with the adopted Land Use Element of the General Plan and with the certified Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan and other applicable policies and is compatible with existing and surrounding development. The Specific Plan carries forward the existing overall goals and policies of the existing County of Orange Local Coastal Program/Specific Plan for Sunset Beach including land uses, preservation of the beach and other public uses, coastal views and access. 2. The Specific Plan will enhance the potential for superior urban design in comparison with the development under the base district provisions that would apply if the Plan were not approved. The Specific Plan contains the development standards established by the County of Orange in recognition of the small lot sizes and unique development pattern of the Sunset Beach community that will ensure consistency with existing development. 3. Deviations from the base district provisions that otherwise would apply are justified by compensating benefits of the Specific Plan. The Specific Plan provides for cohesive development of the residential and commercial areas with many reduced standards compared with the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. Compensating benefits include significant and well located public open space and scenic vistas of the Pacific Ocean. Approximately 55 percent of the area, excluding streets, is publicly owned and utilized. The Specific Plan provides for the continuation of 27 street-end public access points to the beach and a portion of the community is divided by a public channel. 4. The Specific Plan includes adequate provisions for utilities, services, and emergency vehicle access; and public service demands will not exceed the capacity of existing and planned systems. As analyzed in Negative Declaration No. 10-005, the public service demands for the Specific Plan will not exceed the capacity of existing and planned systems, including the transfer of services from Orange County to the City of Huntington Beach after annexation. All public services, both before and after annexation, will be adequately met by existing resources including fire, police and emergency services. Item 130 ® Page 1 -160- Attachment No. 1.2 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 2.2 Land Use The Sunset Beach Land Use Plan is intended to implement the goals of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Broadly stated, the goals for the area are to: ® Maintain and enhance the special character of Sunset Beach. ® Protect, maintain, and, where feasible, enhance and restore the overall quality of the coastal zone environment and its natural and man-made resources. ® Assure orderly, balanced utilization and conservation of coastal zone resources taking into account the social economic needs of the people of the state. ® Maximize public access to and along the coast and maximize public recreational opportunities in the coastal zone consistent with sound resource conservation principles and constitutionally protected rights of private property owners. ® Assure priority for coastal-dependent and coastal-related development over other development on the coast. ® Encourage state and local initiatives and cooperation in preparing procedures to implement coordinated planning and development for mutually beneficial uses, including educational uses, in the coastal zone. More specifically, the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach-Land Use Plan proposes to carry forward the land use designations previously approved by the County of Orange and California Coastal Commission. However, for consistency with the City's General Plan, some of the designations are different in name, though the types of permitted uses are similar. These uses will also be governed by the more specific regulations of this Specific Plan, as set forth in Section 3. The Sunset Beach Land Use Plan is illustrated in Exhibit 2.1. The Plan designates the 134 acre Specific Plan area as follows: Land Use Designation Acres Residential High Density-30 22.32 Commercial Visitor-Mixed Use Overlay 9.16 Public 13.00 Open Space-Shoreline 57.74 Open Space-Water Recreation 3.40 Right of Way 28.26 Total 133.88 October 2010 Page 10 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan The Residential High Density designation has a General Plan/Local Coastal Program density category of greater than 30 units per net acre, denoted by"-30"to reflect the existing density condition of some parts of Sunset Beach. The Commercial Visitor designation has a Mixed Use ("-mu") Overlay, which permits residential uses in conjunction with the underlying commercial designation. This is in recognition that the Specific Plan allows for residential units above the ground floor in the CV area.2 In addition to the underlying land use designations, and the notations for RH and CV described above, the entire area has a Specific Plan Overlay ("-sp") designation in recognition of the need and existence of a specific plan for the Sunset Beach area. The City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program also use Subarea designations to identify areas that are unique in the city, serve certain functions or have area- specific goals or regulations. The Sunset Beach Specific Plan area will be designated as Subarea 4L on the City's Community District and Subarea Schedule in the General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Those Subarea Schedules refer the reader to this Specific Plan for development regulations. z The County's existing Specific Plan allows residential uses above the ground floor in the Commercial Visitor(Sunset Beach Tourist District)area.A 2010 review of existing development in Sunset Beach indicates that there are approximately 80 residential units in the areas designated for principally commercial uses.

However, due to the unique nature of Sunset Beach and the fact that it is already almost fully developed at the time that this Specific Plan is being created, previous Land Use Plan Guidelines contained in the original County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan are being carried forward to the extent that they are still relevant. The Land Use Plan Guidelines below are designed to: implement the Land Use Plan, specifically; carry out the intent of the General Plan and Coastal Act consistent with the desires of the community; and be a supplement to the City's General Plan and Local Coastal Program, which also contain relevant policies. The Guidelines consist of the Land Use Map (see Exhibit 2.1) and the following text: Beach and Sand Area 2.2.1 Existing beach and sand areas shall be maintained in their present form: i. to preserve the unique public recreational character of Sunset Beach;recreation shall be defined as passive and active recreation that is in conformance with the development guidelines of the Sunset Beach Land Use Plan. ii. in cooperation with the State Department of Fish and Game, to protect and preserve the natural habitat of spawning grunion, pismo clam and other shellfish beds, porpoise feeding and sporting grounds, feeding grounds for the California brown pelican, grebes, cormorants, terns, gulls and all other natural sea life and waterfowl. iii. to protect beachfront residences and maintain both public and private open ocean view and access. 2.2.2 The following shall be adhered to to maintain the existing beach and sand areas: i. Dredging and sand replenishment shall be scheduled during fall and winter months to reduce conflict with sunning, swimming and other shoreline water activities. ii. The city shall cooperate with the United States Army Corps of Engineers and other applicable agencies regarding all sand replenishment activities. iii. Sand replenishment shall be deposited at the northwest end of the beach in the area contiguous to the U.S. Navy Ammunition & Net Depot harbor groin, the point of primary and maximum erosion. From that point sand shall be distributed southeastward down the beach by natural wave and current action. This will avoid the destruction of natural marine life habitat. At the same time it will preserve the recreational character of the beach and the fine grain and cleanliness characteristic of alluvial ocean sands. Sand shall not be pumped directly on the beach within Sunset beach except in response to immediate danger to residences. October 2010 Page 13 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan iv. No government or private agency shall construct or cause to be constructed any structure including but not limited to jetties, groins, berms, etc.,that may alter natural shoreline processes such as wave action, channel depths or general beach configuration except when such protective structures are required for existing structures or public beaches in danger of erosion. V. Permanent above-ground structures on the beach and sand areas shall be prohibited. vi. To fulfill visitor serving needs, to minimize personal injuries and to reduce liability, sanitation shall be maintained by properly and routinely cleaning and maintaining the beach and sand area from ocean edge to the artificial dune. The protective growth barrier shall be maintained by property owners. 2.2.3 To protect residences and the Sunset Beach sanitary system from flood waters and excess wind-driven sand, to preserve that sand in the beach area thereby reducing replenishment costs, and to enhance the appearance of the benefit of visitors, preservation and maintenance of the artificial dune by residences shall be retained and encouraged, in keeping with Orange County Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 80- 188. 2.2.4 Scenic vistas shall be maintained, see Exhibit 2.2., Scenic Vista Viewpoints. 2.2.5 Public access to the beach shall be maintained. i. The 27 existing public access points to the beach shall be retained in perpetuity, see Exhibit 2.3, Existing Beach Access. ii. Signs denoting the Public Beach shall be maintained at the signalized intersections of Anderson Street, Broadway Avenue and Warner Avenue along Pacific Coast Highway. Signs shall not exceed four square feet.

Low/moderate cost rental units should be replaced when redevelopment occurs. 2.2.12 Conversion of multi-unit buildings into condominiums shall be allowed only if the building meets the Specific Plan standards. 2.2.13 Public service facilities shall be a permitted use in a residential use area. October 2010 Page 17 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 2.3 Circulation Regional Transportation A network of freeways and arterial highways provide regional access for Sunset Beach. The major arterial regional facilities serving the community are Pacific Coast Highway and the San Diego Freeway.Arterial highways link these two facilities to each other and to Sunset Beach. Several arterial highways connect Pacific Coast Highway with inland areas and the San Diego Freeway. Seal Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue are both designated as major arterial (six lane, divided) highways and provide connections with Pacific Coast Highway at points north and south, respectively, of Sunset Beach. The arterial highway network serves both the motorist and the public transit rider. Countywide and regional access via transit is designed primarily by the Orange County Transportation Authority(OCTA), which operates an extensive system of fixed routes and dial-a-ride service throughout Orange County. OCTA's service to the Sunset Beach area is quite extensive. OCTA route#1 utilizes Pacific Coast Highway between Long Beach/Seal Beach and San Clemente, providing north-south service to Sunset Beach. Three other OCTA routes terminate at Pacific Coast Highway and Warner Avenue at the southern end of Sunset Beach; they provide direct service to the beach from inland Orange County areas. The Pacific Coast Bikeway follows Pacific Coast Highway and serves as a major north-south route within Orange County and the only bikeway adjacent and parallel to the coastline. Bikeways connecting to Pacific Coast Highway generally follow arterial highways. Seal Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue both include bikeways. All of the above bikeways are included in the Master Plan of County-wide Bikeways. Sunset Beach Transportation Most of the traffic utilizing Pacific Coast Highway in the vicinity of Sunset Beach is either passing through the area or destined to development adjacent to the community. The approximately 700 dwelling units and various commercial enterprises within Sunset Beach generate a relatively small portion of the trips using the Highway. For most of its length in the vicinity of Sunset Beach, Pacific Coast Highway is a four lane facility with painted median. Some additional development and redevelopment within Sunset Beach may occur, but the impact of this upon the arterial highway system should be minimal. However, increased development in the areas surrounding Sunset Beach and growing demand for access to coastal resources could further impact Pacific Coast Highway and the arterials leading to it. Because of the constraints inherent in acquiring additional right-of-way for Pacific Coast Highway both within and outside of Sunset Beach, it may be impractical.to provide additional travel lanes. Better utilization of the existing right-of-way is a more realistic possibility. As new development and redevelopment occurs, improvements can be made that provide for safe and convenient use of the Highway by pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit vehicles. Also, any new commercial development will have to provide off-street parking and be designed to minimize the number of direct access points to Pacific Coast Highway. An integrated traffic signal system October 2010 Page 18 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan within Sunset Beach can facilitate the flow of traffic. Expanded transit service along Pacific Coast Highway and through the area, to be provided as demand warrants and as financial resources become available, should encourage additional transit use and might somewhat reduce traffic along Pacific Coast Highway. Pacific Coast Highway is operated and maintained by the State Department of Transportation (CalTrans). Thus, any improvement to the Highway is subject to their approval. Local circulation within the Sunset Beach community is tied to parking opportunities and traffic control. Traffic patterns seaward of Pacific Coast Highway revolve around the parking facility located between North and South Pacific Avenues. Traffic movements on other streets are limited by narrow right-of-way and heavy on-street parking. Although there are adequate parking spaces available to meet public, commercial, and residential parking demand, the distribution of available parking negatively affects the supply- demand balance, which causes deficiencies to occur in certain areas. To alleviate the problem, existing parking opportunities need to be retained within the community and maximized wherever possible. Adequate off-street parking will be required in conjunction with all new development or redevelopment of properties. Specific policies and guidelines relating to parking are included in this Specific Plan. Increased transit service and bicycling opportunities should provide access to beach uses without requiring such additional parking. Local circulation and traffic safety will be enhanced by appropriate speed limits. It is expected that the existing 15 miles per hour speed limit on all Sunset Beach Streets, except Pacific Coast Highway, will be retained; however, speed limits must be periodically reviewed to be enforceable. Circulation and safety will also be enhanced by retention of the parking restrictions on North and South Pacific Avenues. Also, conversion of Bay View Drive to one-way operations will be evaluated as a means to improve circulation inland of Pacific Coast Highway. Based on the foregoing, the following circulation policies shall be adhered to: Transportation/Circulation 2.3.1 Speed limits shall be periodically reviewed and vigorously enforced on all local streets within Sunset Beach. 2.3.2 The City shall work with CalTrans to maintain and/or improve signal timing on Pacific Coast Highway. 2.3.3 The feasibility of converting local streets to one-way circulation shall be evaluated. 2.3.4 Required street and highway dedication and improvements normally required per the City Code are not applicable to the Sunset Beach Specific Plan area except for those properties abutting Pacific Coast Highway. However, street dedication for 4th through 26th Streets shall conform to the Typical Section for those streets, as shown in Exhibit 2.4, Typical Section. 2.3.5 Pacific Coast Highway is designated a "scenic highway."To ensure that those scenic characteristics are enhanced, public and private projects shall, wherever feasible, provide landscaping wherever there is adequate space. October 2010 Page 19 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan Parking 2.3.6 To the maximum extent feasible, to maximize visitor servicing needs and ensure public safety, the City shall encourage CalTrans to stripe Pacific Coast Highway to provide a safe width for parallel parking. 2.3.7 All existing on-street parking shall be retained within Sunset Beach and wherever possible establish programs to maximize their use, except when public safety is compromised. 2.3.8 There shall be no parking on North and South Pacific Avenues, except in front of driveways by permit only. 2.3.9 In order to facilitate visitor serving needs, diagonal parking shall be allowed on Anderson Street and Broadway Avenue. 2.3.10 All street ends, except for emergency access, opening onto the beach shall be fully developed for public parking prior to any other public parking development. 2.3.11 Street ends on the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway will be evaluated for opportunities to'develop public parking. 2.3.12 Innovative programs to maintain the existing parking supply in residential areas and to provide flexibility for commercial uses shall be encouraged. 2.3.13 Signage and parking control to manage parking supply shall be implemented.

A small portion of the beach at the ocean edge is designated Flood Zone VE, areas of Coastal flood with velocity hazard. Despite the Flood Zone X designation,flood damage in Sunset Beach can occur at times of abnormally high tides when waves overtop the berm and water flows towards the houses. Flood damage resulting from this process, called over-wash, can be reduced by raising the living area of the homes above the level of flowing water. Therefore, special design consideration must be given to development along the shoreline because ocean-water can create a flooding problem. The County of Orange completed a Coastal Flood Plain Development Study, in 1985, to analyze safety measures for structures along the coast. Design guidelines for residential development along the coast are established in Chapter Four of the Coastal Flood Plain Development Study as amended. These guidelines are based on the assumption that the beach will be artificially maintained with a width of at least 150 feet from the ocean-facing private property line. Flowing water is the only design consideration. Should the beach retreat to less width, the possibility of storm erosion and breaking wave activity at the structures may occur and flood protection as regulated by these design guidelines will not provide protection from wave impact forces. Revised design guidelines must then be modified to reflect the circumstances. The County designated the homes seaward of South Pacific Avenue as being in a—FP3 district, subject to flood hazard. The Coastal Flood Plain Development Study requires that any new structure in this area be raised to a specific height above a point on South Pacific Avenue. In addition to providing protection against flood damage, the requirement to build on piling along South Pacific Avenue provides a safety margin should conditions at Sunset Beach return to the way they were in the 1930s when homes were vulnerable to attack by waves. Homes on shallow footings can be rapidly damaged or destroyed if their sand support is lost to erosion. Existing lawful nonconforming residential uses may be severely impacted by the Coastal Flood Plain Development Study and will require special consideration. The publicly owned Sunset Channel has been privately bulkheaded and the streets and alleys, where they abut the channel, were bulkheaded by the County. As set forth in Section 3, new development shall be required to comply with flood plain regulations and the County's study. 2.5 Infrastructure and Utilities Infrastructure Public facilities analyses of infrastructure requirements and detailed design, construction and phasing will be completed as required by the City of Huntington Beach Department of Public Works. Future development within the Specific Plan area will be responsible for the October 2010 Page 22 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan construction of public facilities improvements concurrent with individual.project development, subject to review and approval of the Director of Public Works. Water System The City of Huntington Beach has provided domestic water to the Sunset Beach area since fiscal year 1964/65, when it purchased the Sunset Beach Water District. Upon annexation, domestic water for the Sunset Beach area will continue to be provided by the Public Works Water Division of the City of Huntington Beach.The Water Division provides water to all of the customers within the City of Huntington Beach. The Water Division has use of both underground and imported water sources to service the area. The underground supply comes from nine existing wells, and imported water delivered to the City of Huntington Beach by the Metropolitan Water District(MWD) at three locations. The Specific Plan area is part of the City's Master Plan for Water Service. All water improvements shall be designed to the City of Huntington Beach water standards for future City acceptance and approval. Locations of fire hydrants and apparatuses will be reviewed for each project by the Fire Department and Water Division of the City of Huntington Beach to ensure adequate fire flow and pressure. Sewer System The Sunset Beach Sanitary District, formed in 1930, is responsible for the review and approval of the collection of wastewater within the project area, and the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) is responsible for the treatment of wastewater. Upon annexation, wastewater service will continue to be provided by the Sunset Beach Sanitary District. Storm Drainage The City of Huntington Beach and the Orange County Public Works/Flood Control Section are the agencies responsible for the flood control system in the vicinity of Sunset Beach. New drainage facilities constructed within the Specific Plan area will be maintained either by the City or privately maintained by a homeowner's association. Any drainage facilities designed or sized to accommodate upstream drainage will be designated as public facilities and maintained by the City. Only drainage that is required by City of Huntington Beach Codes and the ordinances of the Sunset Beach Sanitary District shall be drained into the Sunset Beach Sanitary System lines. All other drainage, such as rain water, irrigation water and other on-site drainage shall drain to the public street or public storm drainage system. All development shall meet the provisions of this requirement. Where new storm drains are necessary to accommodate development, they shall be sited and designed to discharge in the least environmentally sensitive location. Storm Drains and/or Catch Basins shall be marked "No dumping-drains to Ocean" or with other appropriate local insignia. October 2010 Page 23 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan Water Quality The City of Huntington Beach is a coastal community noted for its beaches, which attract numerous people to the area. The beaches support the City's economy and the well being of the City's economy is dependent on maintaining quality of coastal waters. The flow of untreated stormwater and urban runoff can have an adverse impact on the quality of coastal waters since storm drains eventually discharge into the ocean. The City's Coastal Element notes that the City can upgrade water quality by controlling pollutants that enter coastal waters through urban runoff. The City's Coastal Element contains the water and marine. resource policies requiring that measures be implemented to mitigate the adverse impacts of human activities on the marine environment. To protect coastal waters, the following water quality measures shall be implemented in conjunction with any new development or significant redevelopment: ® All new development and significant redevelopment, shall comply with the State of California, California Regional Water Quality Control Board Santa Ana Region, Order No. R8-2009-0030 (NPDES No. CAS 618030) or subsequent permits. Projects shall comply with the Orange County Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP), all applicable local ordinances and applicable provisions of the NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board Order No. 2009-0009-DWQ), and any subsequent amendments, revisions, or re-issuances thereof. ® Prior to issuance of a Coastal Development Permit(CDP), a Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), shall be submitted for review by the Public Works Department, and shall be based on consistency with the provisions herein. New development and significant redevelopment projects shall incorporate Low Impact Development(LID) principles, design elements, and/or Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will effectively prevent runoff contamination, and minimize runoff volume leaving the site in the developed condition, to the greatest extent feasible. ® Prior to issuance of a Grading or Building Permit, a final WQMP shall be submitted for review and acceptance by the Public Works Department. ® All projects that include dewatering shall obtain coverage under the State of California, California Regional Water Quality Control Board Santa Ana Region de minimis permit, currently Order No. R8-2009-0003 (NPDES No. CAG998001) and subsequent iterations of this permit.

That defined area is known as the"Coastal Zone." The Coastal Zone runs the length of the State's shoreline from its Oregon border south to the Mexican border. Huntington Beach is a shoreline community,a portion of which lies within the State's defined Coastal Zone. The City's Coastal Zone boundary runs from the northern City limit at Seal Beach, south mine approximately 9.5 miles to the Santa Ana River at the Huntington Beach/Newport Beach boundary. It extends inland from the mean high tide line from 1,000 yards to over one mile in some areas. The Huntington Beach Coastal Zone encompasses approximately five 5_2 square miles of land and water,or about se even 19 percent of the total area of the City. The Huntington Beach Coastal Zone boundary is shown in Figure C-2. The Huntington Beach Coastal Zone includes a wide variety of land uses. Open shoreline, parks and recreational facilities,habitat areas,residential,commercial and industrial uses,as well as, energy and oil extraction facilities currently exist in the Coastal Zone. At the north end of the Coastal Zone is Huntington Harbour, a man-made residential marina with commercial centers and residences oriented toward the waterways, and the community of Sunset Beach,a primarily residential area with an expansive leach and a variety,of commercial uses. South of Huntington Harbour and Sunset Beach is the Bolsa Chica area which is presently undeveloped and unincorporated, but lies within the City's Sphere of Influence for potential future annexation. Further south, and adjacent to the Bolsa Chica, is a large undeveloped area of land, part of which is presently in oil production. The Seacliff residential development and golf course lie to the north. Next is the City's downtown area,which over the last ten years has been transformed through re-development into the primary activity node in the City for both residents and visitors. The downtown area includes,among other things,the Municipal Pier and Plaza, destination resort facilities,and a wide variety of visitor serving amenities and activities. At the south end of the Coastal Zone,a major electrical power plant dominates the surrounding shoreline,while nearby,a large sewage treatment facility processes waste from throughout the County. These facilities are near restored coastal wetlands that serve as habitats for numerous wildlife species, including the endangered California least tern and Belding's savanna sparrow. The following paragraphs describe, in more detail,the City's Coastal Zone; its existing land uses, proposed land use plan and coastal resources. For purposes of discussion,the Coastal Zone is divided into sub-zones. Figure C-4 depicts the Coastal Zone and its five sub-areas. Figures C-5 through C-9 depict individual sub-areas and proposed land uses. Land use category definitions and listings of permitted uses and densities per land use category are provided in Table C-1. Section 4 provides an overview of the issues that must be addressed in the Coastal Zone to comply with Coastal Act policy. Section 5 provides specific policies that the City will follow in order to preserve and enhance its coastal resources and amenities, and Section 6 provides an overview of implementation actions and regulations to carry out the policies.

This issue was especially significant when planning for the re-development of the City's Downtown area into a dense node of visitor serving commercial facilities. The unique parking issues of the Downtown area have been resolved through the development and implementation of the Downtown Huntington Beach Parking Master Plan(see Technical Appendix). The Downtown Huntington Beach Parking Master Plan was adopted in 1993 and provides for shared parking facilities including on-street parking, lots and nearby municipal parking structures. Annual reports and modifications of the Master Plan, if needed,will serve to ensure that adequate parking facilities are provided for existing and planned commercial uses in the Downtown area. Other commercial areas within the City's Coastal Zone, but outside the downtown area, meet their parking needs through implementation of the City's Zoning THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN IV-C-54 Resolution No.2010-75 COASTAL ELEMENT Direct Access The City's nine approximately 9.5 miles of shoreline(including the residential co-op located on the west side of the Pier which is on land leased from the State)are under public ownership and are designated for public recreational use. Consequently,opportunities for direct physical access to the shoreline are excellent. Direct pedestrian access to the shoreline is provided at several intervals along the entire length of the Coastal Zone,including anew shoreline access(a stairway and a handicap access ramp) constructed at Seapoint Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway near the planned Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park. Access to the Huntington Harbour waterways is somewhat limited due to the residential nature of the surrounding area,but could be enhanced through increased public awareness of existing access points. Additional access points may be provided through re- development or when existing uses are improved. Access to the shoreline in Sunset Reach is excellent: there are 27 street-end.locations through the residential areas located every 200 feet along the approximately one mile long beach frontage. THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN IV-C-56 Resolution No.2010-75 COASTAL ELEMENT Public Recreational and Visitor Serving Commercial Facilities Public Recreational Resources Coastal Act policy promotes the protection of coastal resources while accommodating public demand for such resources. Further,Coastal Act policy promotes the protection of recreational and lodging opportunities for low and moderate income persons. Huntington Beach is known internationally for its temperate climate,excellent surfing beaches,and plentiful recreational amenities and opportunities. Consequently,millions of visitors are attracted to the City's shoreline each year(an estimated 9.6 million in 1998). As the general population grows,the demand for year round recreational resources along the coastline will also grow. Coastal Element policy recognizes the City's responsibility to balance the need to provide adequate recreational facilities to serve the greater than local community,while protecting the resources and character of its Coastal Zone. An overview of Huntington Beach's most significant recreational resources is described below. Figure C-16 identifies the location of these resources. Beaches The City's Coastal Zone contains over nine 9_5 linear miles of sandy beach shoreline area encompassing approximately U0 433 acres_ The tlfee four beaches in Huntington Beach are Bolsa Chica State Beach and Huntington State Beach,which are operated by the State Department of Parks and Recreation,and Huntington City Beach and Sunset Beach,which is are operated by the City. Sunset Beach includes approximately 1 mile of shoreline between the City of Seal Beach and Bolsa Chica State Beach. Bolsa Chica State Beach includes six slightly more than five miles of shoreline between Warner Avenue and the Municipal Pier. Huntington City Beach includes approximately one mile of shoreline between the Municipal Pier and Beach Boulevard. Huntington State Beach consists of the two mile shoreline area between Beach Boulevard south to the Santa Ana River. All of the beach area is in public ownership. The entire beach area is designated as open space in the Coastal Element Land Use Map. Recreational'opportunities at the City's beaches are extensive and include activities such as sunbathing,swimming, surfing,bodysurfing, sand volleyball,skin and scuba diving. Huntington Beach is known as one of the best surfing areas on the west coast and has hosted numerous national and international surfing contests. Its renowned surf is a result of the shoreline's long, gradually sloped beach gradient and location in relation to ocean swells. Except for Sunset Beach,Ffire rings are provided for,barbecues and evening camp-fires. Offshore clam beds and a variety of game fish attract divers and surf fisherman to the Huntington Beach shoreline. In addition,the Coastal Bikeway,a regional Class I Bikeway,extends the length of the shoreline in Huntington Beach north to Warner Avenue(it continues south to Newport Beach-affd-nerth to Seal Beach). This paved bikeway provides for bicycle riding,jogging,roller blading,walking and similar activities separated from vehicular traffic. Proposed improvements include widening the existing Coastal Bikeway within Huntington Beach from its existing average width of 12 to 15 feet to twenty feet. There are five small beaches in the Huntington Harbour and Sunset Beach areas The beaches range in size from one-fifth to three quarters of an acre. Non- THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN IV-C-59 Resolution No.2010-75 COASTAL ELEMENT trailerable boats may be launched from these beaches and some are used for sunbathing,swinnnnning and general beach recreation. Municipal Pier and Plaza The City's Municipal Pier is located at the intersection of Main Street and Pacific Coast Highway and serves as the focal point of the City's Coastal Zone. The Pier,which was re-built and opened in 1992,is 1,856 feet long,30 feet wide and 38 feet above the mean low water level. It is constructed of reinforced concrete. It includes a variety of visitor serving and recreational amenities, including a restaurant,community access booth,lifeguard tower and observation and recreational fishing platforms. Visitors can use the Pier to sight see,stroll,fish and dine. Coastal Element policy,among other things,limits building heights on the pier to a maximum oft stories/35 feet. Coastal Element policy also requires that public access around the entire perimeter of the pier be maintained. Proposed enhancements to the Pier include a funicular/trolley system to transport pedestrians from the Plaza area to the end of the Pier and back. The Main Pier Plaza has more than eight acres of public space located at the base of the Municipal Pier on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway,between First and Seventh Streets. The public plaza includes a palm court,a 230 seat amphitheater,a spectator area,accessways to the beach and lawn,restrooms and concessions,bicycle parking facilities and automobile parking. Pier Plaza was designed as a community focal area where public speaking forums, surfing competitions,foot races,outdoor concerts and similar events are held. Parks Other than the sandy shoreline area itself,existing parks in the Coastal Zone include those listed in Table C4 below and depicted in Figure C-16.

Wieder Regional Park(formerly known as the Bolsa Chica Linear Park)and the Orange Coast River Park. Land for the Regional Park has been identified(approximately one-third has been dedicated and is in public ownership). A development plan for the park has been devised through coordinated efforts between the City and County of Orange. Once developed,the Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park will connect Central Park to the coastline via the Huntington Beach bluffs,at Seapoint and Goldenwest. The Regional Park will provide views and linkages to the Bolsa Chica wetlands as well. THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN IV-C-61 Resolution No.2010-75 COASTAL ELEMENT The Orange Coast River Park is in the early stages of planning at this time. The present conceptual plan for the park is to link parks from inland cities to the coastline via the Santa Ana River trail. The Orange Coast River Park is proposed to extend north from the Santa Ana River, in Huntington Beach,along the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway to Beach Boulevard. Feasibility studies for the park concept are now underway. Coastal Element policy supports and promotes the maintenance and preservation of existing parks,the development of the planned Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park,and further study of the feasibility of the proposed Orange_ Coast River park. Recreational Vehicle Camping The Sunset Vista Camper Facility,located on Pacific Coast Highway in the Huntington City Beach parking lot at First Street, is a City-operated recreational vehicle camping site offering 150 spaces from September 15 through May 31 annually. The facility allows camping immediately adjacent to the beach sand area. In addition,the State Department of Parks and Recreation allocates 50 spaces for enroute overnight camping at both Huntington State Beach and Bolsa Chica State Beach. Campers pay a nominal fee per night and are required to check in after 8:00 p.m.and leave by 9:00 the following morning. The RV spaces made available under this program are for year-round use. The City Beach also offers a similar program for enroute RV camping between June I and September 14, annually. Coastal Element policy promotes the preservation of these opportunities and expansion of the camping program at the State beaches to mirror the overnight program permitted at the City beach parking lot. Trails and Bikeways The City boasts an extensive trail system that can be used by bicyclists,roller bladers,joggers and strollers. The Coastal Zone includes a Class I trail that runs the entire length of the Coastal Zone and is linked to regional bikeways. It also includes several east west bikeways that access the City's Coastal Zone,and a major trail along the Santa Ana River. In addition,the County has plans for a future riding and hiking trail that will extend from the existing riding and hiking trail system in Central Park, which is just outside the City's Coastal Zone boundary, along the proposed Harriett M_Wieder Regional Park to points near the shoreline. The County's Master Plan of Regional Riding and Hiking Trails identifies two regional trails within the City's Coastal Zone: the Santa Ana River Trail and the Huntington Beach Trail. The Commuter Bikeway Strategic Plan(the regional bikeways plan for Orange County)identifies three regional Class I bikeways within the Coastal Zone: the Santa Ana River Bikeway, Wintersburg Channel Bikeway and the Coastal Bikeway. (Figure C-14.) Golf Courses There is one private(no public)golf course in the City's Coastal Zone:Seacliff Country Club. It is an eighteen hole course located on Palm Avenue,west of Goldenwest Street. Huntington Harbour 'Huntington Harbour is an 860 acre residential development oriented around a network of manmade channels located in the northwest comer of the City. The channel system covers a surface area of 225 acres and houses approximately 2,300 mostly private boat slips. The waterways, which are available for public use,provide significant opportunities for boating. Access to the channels is provided in several areas where boats and boat slips may be rented,and by the City operated boat ramps(Percy Dock and Warner Dock)located near the Warner Avenue THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN IV-C-62 Resolution No.2010-75 COASTAL ELEMENT Fire Station. The Percy Dock also provides City operated parking. An additional boat ramp, French Dock,that can accommodate large boats is available at the Sunset Aquatic Regional Park immediately north of Huntington Harbour within the City of Seal Beach.The entrance to the Huntington Harbour channels is located at the northwest end of the harbor and passes under a bridge at Pacific Coast Highway. Some of the recreational opportunities in Huntington Harbour are private,accessible only to Harbour residents. However,a number of public recreation areas are available. Trinidad Island includes a 2.7 acre greenbelt park(Conrad Park)with a bicycle/pedestrian path,two small vista parks,a fishing dock and a walkway around half the island. A 4.4 3_9 acre City neighborhood park is also located on Seabridge Peninsula. The Harbour area also includes three small beaches and parks accessible to the public. The developed status of Huntington Harbour dictates the current state of public access in the area. In the event that new development,or significant redevelopment, fronting a channel area does occur,the City's Coastal Element policy requires that adequate public access to the waterways be provided. Sunset Beach Sunset Beach is an approximately 134 acre community that extends approximately one mile from Seal Beach at the northwest to Bolsa Chica State Beach at the southeast. It is comprised primarily of public land uses including right-of-way. Only 31 acres of the community are developed with private residential and commercial uses. The majority of the community is located seaward of Pacific Coast Highway and is characterized by the open sandy beach and combination linear park(greenbelt) and public parking facility. This facility contains a tot lot, wallcing path,five public restroom buildings and 624 public parking spaces. Access to the beach is provided at 27 street-end locations, through the residential areas, located every 200 feet along the beach frontage. The inland portion of Sunset Beach includes Sunset Channel,which is connected with the Huntington Harbour channel system,and IIth Street beach,where small boats such as kayaks and canoes may be launched. Boating Facilities Boating facilities in Huntington Beach are primarily provided in Huntington Harbour. Development of a second marina in the City's Coastal Zone is limited by a lack of appropriate sites. Boat storage is provided within the Huntington Harbour Marina and in off-site dry storage areas. City policy allows for boat storage on private residential property if properly screened and accommodated,as well as within industrially zoned areas. THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN IV-C-63 Resolution No.2010-75 COASTAL ELEMENT Visitor-Serving Commercial Facilities The City's Coastal Zone is host to millions of visitors each year. The Coastal Act places a high priority on land uses and facilities that serve the needs of these visitors. Visitor-serving facilities include public and private developments that provide accommodations,food,entertainment and services. The City's Coastal Land Use Plan defines activity nodes where visitor serving uses are concentrated_ The use of concentrated nodes allows the City to capitalize on shared facilities and minimize impacts to more sensitive resource areas in the Coastal Zone. The most concentrated area of visitor serving uses is within the Downtown area near the Municipal Pier. Significant visitor serving facilities within the Coastal Zone are briefly described below. Huntington Harbour/Sunset Beach The Huntington Harbour and.Sunset Beach areas includes commercial uses to serve residents and visitors. Visitor serving commercial uses include hotels, motels,restaurants,retail shops, entertainment and private recreational facilities such as the Huntington Harbour Yacht Club and a fitness/racquet club. .Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan Area The Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan Area is bounded by Pacific Coast Highway to the south,Palm Avenue to the north, Seapoint Avenue to the west and Goldenwest Street to the east The planning area comprises approximately 150 acres and is presently under the ownership of PLC Properties and Aera Properties. PLC Properties owns the 56 acre parcel located at the northeastern section of the site. Aera owns the remaining 94 acre portion which fronts Pacific Coast Highway. At this time, the site represents one of the largest,undeveloped contiguous areas in the Huntington Beach Coastal Zone. The planning area is designated in the Coastal Element Land Use Map as Mixed Use-Horizontally Integrated Housing(MH-F2/30(Avg_ 15)-sp),which permits residential,visitor serving commercial and open space uses. A specific plan or plans,as well as,a"conceptual master plan of development", consistent with the Coastal Element Land Use Map,are required before any development may be approved on the site. Per the site's Coastal Element Land Use Map designation,commercial uses will be limited to those permitted by the Commercial Visitor land use category. (See Table C-1,Coastal Element Land Use Plan Land Use,Density and Overlay Schedule,and Table C-2,Community District and Subarea Schedule). The amount and precise location of commercial land that will be included within this planning area will be determined through the conceptual master plan and specific plan preparation and adoption processes. The required master and specific plans are subject to Coastal Commission approval which would be submitted to the Coastal Commission as an LCP amendment that would take effect upon Commission certification. Both are consistent with Coastal Act and adopted City policy noted in this Coastal Element. Pursuant to the adopted Pahm/Goldenwest Specific Plan, it is anticipated that the 94 acre Aera property,which fronts Pacific Coast Highway, will house visitor-serving commercial,open space and recreational/civic uses such as a public museum, with visitor-serving commercial uses having preference. This property is presently used for oil production and is expected to maintain its existing oil activities for the next 15 to 20 years.The 56 acres located in the northeast portion of the planning area and owned by PLC Properties,is approved for up to 315 dwelling units. THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN IV-C-64 Resolution No.2010-75 COASTAL ELEMENT While supply does not appear to be an issue,studies reveal an inadequacy in the amount of emergency and reserve storage and booster pumping capacity for present day and future demands. The City's water storage system consists of the Overmyer Reservoirs Nos. 1,2 and 3 and the Peck Reservoir. All are located within the City,but outside of the Coastal Zone. The Peck Reservoir capacity is 16 million gallons and the Overmyer Reservoirs' combined capacity is 24 million gallons. The reservoirs serve as regulating reservoirs for peak demands and provide storage for planned outages and emergencies. The reservoirs generally fill with water during nighttime low demand periods with imported MWD water or groundwater and drain during the daytime high demand periods. Booster pumping facilities pump water from the reservoir storage into the water distribution system to maintain adequate supply during peak periods to supplement groundwater and MWD water supplies. Improvements to increase the City's water storage capacity will be achieved with the addition of new reservoirs and increased capacity at existing reservoirs. A new Ellis-Edwards Reservoir with a nine million gallon capacity,and a nine million-gallon expansion next to the Peck Reservoir are currently under construction,and an expansion of the Talbert Valley Reservoir site is under consideration. Other new reservoir sites are under investigation, including potential sites within the Coastal Zone.Booster pumping capacity will also be expanded as appropriate,with the new expanded storage. In addition,data acquisition and control systems for water storage will be modernized to allow for enhanced monitoring and control capabilities under both normal operations and emergencies. The City's water distribution system consists of over 480 miles of water lines ranging in size from 2 to 42 inches in diameter. Improvements in the piping system are implemented as older deteriorated or undersized pipes are replaced. This will eliminate flow restrictions and help to accommodate future demands. Coastal Element policy mirrors General Plan policy by calling for an adopted Water Master Plan to be implemented to address identified water storage, booster and distribution system deficiencies. Sanitation Treatment and Sewerage Sanitation Treatment and Sewerage services are provided by the Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD)1 and the City of Huntington Beach Public Works Departme it,Engineer-ing Divisi and the Sunset Beach Sanitary District. Two OCSD treatment plants serve Huntington Beach. Plant No. 1 treats wastewater generated by other cities and the northern portion of Huntington Beach. Plant No. 2 treats the remainder of the City's sewage. The OCSD has developed improvement plans for the plants to serve the needs of the City through the year 2050. This includes buildout of the City's Coastal Land Use Map. The existing sewage collection system consists of major trunk lines, smaller feeder lines,and lift stations. The City's Public Works Department and the Sunset Beach Sanitary District is are responsible for the local level of service while the OCSD is responsible for the regional service. Deficiencies in the City's pipeline and pump station system have been identified through recent studies. The Coastal Zone,specifically the older Downtown area, includes sewage facilities that are dated and in need of maintenance,repair and/or upgrade. In addition,there are numerous sewer lift stations in the City that are in need of repair and/or replacement. Many of these facilities are in the Coastal Zone. The City has identified the deficiencies and has plans in place to correct them. The Sunset Beach Sanitary District has fully lined its main sewer trunk line and has no deferred items. Coastal Element policy mirrors General Plan policy by calling for master plans and capital improvement programs to ensure adequate sewage facilities to meet the demands of permitted development. THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN IV-C-8b Resolution No.2010-75 RESOLUTION NO. 2010-74 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH ADOPTING ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 10-002 BY CREATING THE SUNSET BEACH SPECIFIC PLAN(SP 17) WHEREAS, the Huntington Beach Planning Commission and the Huntington Beach City Council have held separate public hearings relative to Zoning Text Amendment No. 10-002, wherein both bodies have carefully considered all information presented at said hearings, and after due consideration of the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission and all evidence presented to the City Council, the City Council finds that such zone change is proper and consistent with the General Plan. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby resolve as follows: i. the Sunset Beach Specific Plan is consistena wit' ,ii adopts ?. +-� ,, 1 s Elemne-n of the General Plan, and other applicable policies and is compatible aviti surrounding development. 2.

A. Legal Description October 2010 Page ii Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 1 . Introduction 1.1 Location .Sunset Beach is an approximately 134 acre primarily residential community that stretches 1.2 miles from Seal Beach at the northwest extremity to Bolsa Chica State Beach, with which it is contiguous at the southeast, as shown in Exhibit 1.1, Vicinity Map. It is bordered on the southwest by the Pacific Ocean and on the northeast by the Huntington Harbour and Peter's Landing developments and is in proximity to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and Sunset Aquatic Park. The entirety of Sunset Beach is located in the Coastal Zone. From the ocean inland Sunset Beach is formed by six successive strips running the length of the community: the beach, the ocean front residences along South Pacific Avenue, the linear park/public parking facility between South and North Pacific Avenues, the residences along North Pacific and side streets, the mixed residential-commercial buildings on both sides of Pacific Coast Highway, and the residences on Sunset Island and adjacent to Park Avenue (Exhibit 1.2, Aerial Photograph). 1.2 Specific Plan Area Background Sunset Beach was established as an unincorporated town on September 8, 1904, governed by the County of Orange. Its formal establishment followed construction of the Pacific Electric Railway (PER). The Newport-Balboa line was the first PER line into Orange County and ran down the coast from Long Beach. The line was extended into Huntington Beach via Seal Beach in Summer 1904. Sunset Beach was laid out along the tracks in 1905. An 80 foot wide boulevard was graded running north to south next to the "Red Car" line, the common reference to PER, and became known as Ocean Boulevard. This thoroughfare was renamed Pacific Coast Highway in 1926. Development of Sunset Beach was similar to that of small coastal communities of the time and was punctuated by various events that helped to shape it to its current form, not the least of which was the rail line and the highway. The other notable change for the area was the development of Huntington Harbour in the 1960s, which transformed marsh and slough into residential islands, a marina and commercial area. Sunset Beach is unique among coastal communities in that 55 percent of its total area, excluding streets, is publicly owned and utilized. Of its almost 134 acres, approximately 74 acres are devoted to public uses, which include the main beach, a combination linear park and public parking facility, Sunset Channel and 11t' Street beach. Approximately 31 acres are developed with residential and commercial uses, and 28 acres are right-of-way (streets). There are 700 residential units in the community developed at a range of densities, with commercial and mixed use developments mostly along Pacific Coast Highway. The community has approximately 1,300 residents. While Sunset Beach is almost built out, remodeling and rebuilding of residential lots occurs on an on-going basis.

The Specific Plan establishes specific zoning and site development standards for Sunset Beach generally consistent with the County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan, dated September 1990. Sunset Beach will be annexed to the City of Huntington Beach. After the annexation and the adoption of the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan are effective, the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan will supersede the County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan as the effective zoning regulations for the approximately 134 acre Sunset Beach area.' The intent of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan is to provide clear and comprehensive descriptions of land use, circulation, infrastructure and site development standards. The Specific Plan is regulatory in nature and serves as zoning for the Sunset Beach area, see Exhibit 1.3, Zoning Map. The Specific Plan also serves as the implementation plan for the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program. Development plans and other entitlement requests for the Specific Plan area must be consistent with this Specific flan and the Huntington Beach Cenerai Plar, and Local Coastal Program. 1.4 Authority and Scope The authority to prepare, adopt and implement Specific Plans is granted to the City of Huntington Beach by the California Government Code (Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457). The Specific Plan will be used by the City of Huntington Beach to implement the Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program for the Sunset Beach area. The Specific Plan contains all applicable land use regulations and will thus constitute the zoning for the Sunset Beach area. The Development Standards contained in this Specific Plan will take precedence over all other provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, unless otherwise noted. Local planning agencies or their legislative bodies may designate areas within their jurisdictions as ones for which a Specific Plan is "necessary or convenient" (Government Code Section 65451). A Specific Plan may either be adopted by ordinance or resolution (Government Code Section 65507). Adoption of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan shall be consistent with the provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 215. 1 The County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan lists the acreage for the Specific Plan area as 115 total acres,30 acres of which are the main beach: With the benefit of geographic information systems, and based on current information from the County of Orange and a legal description,the total acreage is now estimated at almost 134,approximately S8 of which are the main beach.

The Land Use Plan, including Development Guidelines, was approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 6, 1981, as an amendment to the Orange County General Plan. The purpose of the County Sunset Beach Specific Plan (SBSPILCP) was to tie together the Land Use Plan and Implementing Actions Program of the County's Local Coastal Program. In January, 1986, the Board of Supervisors directed the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) to prepare an amendment to the SBSP/LCP. Amendment 90-1 to the SBSP/LCP was approved by the Board of the Supervisors by Resolution No. 90-1244 and Ordinance No. 3798 on September 26, 1990. The Sunset Beach area remained an unincorporated "island" while the cities of Seal Beach and Huntington Beach incorporated and annexed adjoining areas. In 2009, the Orange.County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) placed the unincorporated Sunset Beach area in the City of Huntington Beach's Sphere of Influence, facilitating the annexation of Sunset Beach to the City of Huntington Beach. This proposed City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan is intended to comply with State law requiring the City to adopt zoning regulations for property("pre-zone") before annexation is approved by LAFCO. 1.6 Previous California Coastal Commission Approvals for Sunset Beach The California Coastal Commission originally certified the SBSP/LCP on October 27, 1983. Subsequently, the Commission certified the amended SBSP/LCP on July, 17, 1991. The Commission retains original permit jurisdiction over development seaward of the mean high tide line. Therefore, it has permitting authority for improvements in/above the ocean and waterway and has issued such coastal development permits in Sunset Beach. This City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan must be approved by the California Coastal Commission in order to become effective. 1.7 Consistency with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared as part of the Specific Plan approval process. The Initial Study will serve as the basis on which the environmental effects of implementation of the Specific Plan can be ascertained. The Initial Study indicated that a Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA compliance tool, and has been prepared as part of this Specific Plan process. All subsequent approvals necessary to develop any property within the Specific Plan area must be consistent with the Specific Plan and within the scope of the Negative Declaration. Additional environmental documentation may be required in the future if new significant October 2010 Page 6 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan development is proposed or if significant changes are found to have occurred pursuant to Section 15162 and 15182 of the CEQA Guidelines. October 2010 Page 7 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 2e Land Use Plan The goal of the Land Use Plan is to maintain and enhance the special character of Sunset Beach. The Land Use Plan establishes and designates areas of residential and commercial development that will not impair coastal resources or public access to the coast consistent with the previous County Specific Plan. It identifies the beach, waterway and public parking facilities and policies to preserve them. Preservation of the unique character of Sunset Beach is the fundamental goal from which the Land Use Policies are derived. 2.1 Existing Conditions Sunset Beach is characterized by the unique and valuable commodity of its sandy beach and ocean shoreline. It is also surrounded on its inland side by a system of waterway canals in the Huntington Harbour development. The majority of the Sunset Beach area is designated for public or community use, the largest component of which is the beach. The beach is bounded on the south by Warner Avenue and on the north by Anderson Street, a distance of 6,300 feet. Access to the shoreline is at 27 street-end locations through the residential areas, 35 feet in width, located every 200 feet along the beach frontage. The only recreation facilities on the beach are volleyball nets. Approximately 1,500 feet of the beach is open for surfing. Lifeguard service is provided on a seasonal basis. Outdoor games, swimming, surfing and fishing constitute the major activities at this beach. The area also benefits from a 13 acre linear park/public parking facility, constructed by the County of Orange in the old Pacific-Electric right-of-way, with picnic areas, a tot lot, five restroom buildings, pathways, and 624 parking spaces. This area is also referred to as the "greenbelt." Other notable public uses include the Sunset Channel, 11th Street beach, a post office and a volunteer fire station. The Sunset Beach Community Association also owns and operates a community center, which functions as a quasi-public use. There are no public boat launch sites in Sunset Channel with the exception that nontrailerable boats that can be hand-carried may be launched at the 11th Street Beach. There are no publicly maintained boating facilities within the Sunset Beach area. However, private docks are available in Sunset Channel adjacent to commercial and residential properties subject to the permit process. Private land uses in Sunset Beach are residential and commercial. The residential uses consist of 700 single and multiple family type dwelling units, on typically 2,700 square foot lots, which are well mixed throughout both residential and commercial areas. Densities range from approximately 22 to 45 units per acre. There are approximately 70 commercial establishments. Existing commercial uses range from neighborhood convenience facilities such as markets, to more area-wide facilities such as motels, restaurants, and specialty shops that generally front on Pacific Coast Highway. Because of the compact size and special nature of the Sunset Beach community and the limited area for commercial uses, the convenience facilities and goods provided serve the visitors and tourists as well as local residents. The Sunset Beach area consists of 497 parcels, the beach, and right-of-way. All but four of these parcels are fully developed or used in substantial part by an adjacent parcel for yard area, October 2010 Page 8 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan parking or accessory structures. Of the four parcels, three are vacant and one parcel is occupied by a billboard. The.existing residential and commercial areas are 99 percent developed. Sunset Beach exhibits generally low relief with elevations ranging from sea level to five feet above sea level. Erosion of the shoreline in the area has been relatively continuous since the construction of the east jetty of Anaheim Bay in 1944. In 1945, the Navy constructed 600 feet of stone revetment downcoast from the Anaheim Bay east jetty to retard the erosion but had to reinforce it the following year. In 1947, the revetment was further extended and a wood sheet- pile bulkhead established to strengthen the shore road. In the 1940s, 1,422,000 cubic yards of material were placed on the beach. Additional material has been placed along the Surfside- Sunset Beach shoreline on a regular basis over the years and is expected to be needed on an on-going basis. Much of the area northwest of Pacific Coastal Highway was once a marsh and slough and was dredged and redeveloped to establish part of Sunset Island and Huntington Harbour in the 1960s. The development of these communities destroyed the marsh-slough habitat. The developed area of Sunset Beach does not provide a suitable habitat for wildlife or native vegetation because of its highly urbanized character, although certain avifauna may forage on the beach. Along the sandy beaches of the Specific Plan area, plankton, organic detritus, and debris form a primary food source for many of the macroscopic(i.e., large enough to be observed by the naked eye) species of marine animals, such as beach hoppers, sand,crabs, and various species of clams. Also, microfauna could possibly be a food source for invertebrate macroscopic filter feeders. Filter and deposit feeders provide a food source for many fish species such as barred surfperch and California corbina, and also for numerous shore birds such as will ets, whimbrels, dowitchers, plovers, and gulls. In turn, many of the vertebrates, especially the fishes, provide a food source for larger carnivorous vertebrates such as other fishes and mammals. Many invertebrate species are subject to cycles of abundance and rarity on any segment of sandy beach shoreline. The fish species present are frequently taken by in-shore anglers but are not exclusively confined to the shallow water of the open coast sandy beaches; they can also be found in deeper waters, or in bays and harbors, depending on such factors as migratory habits, spawning habits, weather conditions, wave conditions, and currents. Pismo clams are known to exist all along the intertidal and subtidal zones of the sandy beach shorelines from Anaheim Bay Harbor to the entrance to Newport Harbor. This bivalve is an important resource sought by recreational Clammers. The open coast sandy beach in the Specific Plan area and vicinity are spawning habitat for the grunion. Other fish species such as the barred surfperch and California corbina are found.in the surf zone feeding primarily upon sand crabs. Common sandy beach organisms such as sand crab, pismo clam, bean clam, and polychaetes are known to exist intertidally and subtidally along the Surfside-Sunset Beach shoreline in spite of previous beach deposition (sand replenishment) operations. October 2010 Page 9 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 2.2 Land Use The Sunset Beach Land Use Plan is intended to implement the goals of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Broadly stated, the goals for the area are to: lo Maintain and enhance the special character of Sunset Beach. ® Protect, maintain, and, where feasible, enhance and restore the overall quality of the coastal zone environment and its natural and man-made resources. ® Assure orderly, balanced utilization and conservation of coastal zone resources taking into account the social economic needs of the people of the state. ® Maximize public access to and along the coast and maximize public recreational opportunities in the coastal zone consistent with sound resource conservation principles and constitutionally protected rights of private property owners. ® Assure priority for coastal-dependent and coastal-related development over other development on the coast. Encourage state and local initiatives and cooperation in preparing procedures to implement coordinated planning and development for mutually beneficial uses; including educational uses, in the coastal zone. More specifically, the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Land Use Plan proposes to carry forward the land use designations previously approved by the County of Orange and California Coastal Commission. However, for consistency with the City's General Plan, some of the designations are different in name, though the types of permitted uses are similar. These uses will also be governed by the more specific regulations of this Specific Plan, as set forth in Section 3. The Sunset Beach Land Use Plan is illustrated in Exhibit 2.1. The Plan designates the 134 acre Specific Plan area as follows: Land Use Designation Acres Residential High Density-30 22.32 Commercial Visitor-Mixed Use Overlay 9.16 Public 13.00 Open Space-Shoreline 57.74 Open Space-Water Recreation 3.40 Right of Way 28.26 Total 133.88 October 2010 Page 10 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan The Residential High Density designation has a General Plan/Local Coastal Program density category of greater than 30 units per net acre, denoted by"-30" to reflect the existing density condition of some parts of Sunset Beach. The Commercial Visitor designation has a Mixed Use ("-mu")Overlay, which permits residential uses in conjunction with the underlying commercial designation. This is in recognition that the Specific Plan allows for residential units above the ground floor in the CV area.2 In addition to the underlying land use designations, and the notations for RH and CV described above, the entire area has a Specific Plan Overlay ("-sp") designation in recognition of the need and existence of a specific plan for the Sunset Beach area. The City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program also use Subarea designations to identify areas that are unique in the city, serve certain functions or have area- specific goals or regulations. The Sunset Beach Specific Plan area will be designated as Subarea 4L on the City's Community District and Subarea Schedule in the General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Those Subarea Schedules refer the reader to this Specific Plan for development regulations. I Z The County's existing Specific Plan allows residential uses above the ground floor in the Commercial Visitor(Sunset Beach Tourist District)area.A 2010 review of existing development in Sunset Beach indicates that there are approximately 80 residential units in the areas designated for principally commercial uses.

CD N Exhibit 2.1 Land Use Plan N Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan Land Use Plan Guidelines The City's General Plan and Local Coastal Program contain numerous goals, objectives and policies that further and are consistent with the overall goals for the Sunset Beach area. However, due to the unique nature of Sunset Beach and the fact that it is already almost fully developed at the time that this Specific Plan is being created, previous Land Use Plan Guidelines contained in the original County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan are being carried forward to the extent that they are still relevant. The Land Use Plan Guidelines below are designed to: implement the Land Use Plan, specifically; carry out the intent of the General Plan and Coastal Act consistent with the desires of the community; and be a supplement to the City's General Plan and Local Coastal Program, which also contain relevant policies. The Guidelines consist of the Land Use Map (see Exhibit 2.1) and the following text: Beach and Sand Area 2.2.1 Existing beach and sand areas shall be maintained in their present form: i. to preserve the unique public recreational character of Sunset Beach; recreation shall be defined as passive and active recreation that is in conforrnance with the development guidelines of the Sunset Beach Land Use Plan. ii. in cooperation with the State Department of Fish and Game, to protect and preserve the natural habitat of spawning grunion, pismo clam and other shellfish beds, porpoise feeding and sporting grounds, feeding grounds for the California brown pelican, grebes, cormorants, terns, gulls and all other natural sea life and waterfowl. iii. to protect beachfront residences and maintain both public and private open ocean view and access. 2.2.2 The following shall be adhered to to maintain the existing beach and sand areas: i. Dredging and sand replenishment shall be scheduled during fall and winter months to reduce conflict with sunning, swimming and other shoreline water activities. ii. The city shall cooperate with the United States Army Corps of Engineers and other applicable agencies regarding all sand replenishment activities. iii. Sand replenishment shall be deposited at the northwest end of the beach in the area contiguous to the U.S. Navy Ammunition & Net Depot harbor groin, the point of primary and maximum erosion. From that point.sand shall be distributed southeastward down the beach by natural wave and current action. This will avoid the destruction of natural marine life habitat. At the same time it will preserve the recreational character of the beach and the fine grain and cleanliness characteristic of alluvial ocean sands. Sand shall not be pumped directly on the beach within Sunset beach except in response to immediate danger to residences. October 2010 Page 13 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan iv. No government or private agency shall construct or cause to be constructed any structure including but not limited to jetties, groins, berms, etc., that may alter natural shoreline processes such as wave action, channel depths or general beach configuration except when such protective structures are required for existing structures or public beaches in danger of erosion- V. Permanent above-ground structures on the beach and sand areas shall be prohibited. vi. To fulfill visitor serving needs, to minimize personal injuries and to reduce liability, sanitation shall be maintained by properly and routinely cleaning and maintaining the beach and sand area from ocean edge to the artificial dune. The protective growth barrier shall be maintained by property owners. 2.2.3 To protect residences and the Sunset Beach sanitary system from flood waters and excess wind-driven sand, to preserve that sand in the beach area thereby reducing replenishment costs, and to enhance the appearance of the benefit of visitors, preservation and maintenance of the artificial dune by residences shall be retained and encouraged, in keeping with Orange County Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 80- 1 88. 2.2A Scenic vistas shall be maintained, see Exhibit 2.2., Scenic Vista Viewpoints. 2.2.5 Public access to the beach shall be maintained. i. The 27 existing public access points to the beach shall be retained in perpetuity, see Exhibit 2.3, Existing Beach Access. ii, Signs denoting the Public Beach shall be maintained at the signalized intersections of Anderson Street, Broadway Avenue and Warner Avenue along Pacific Coast Highway. Signs shall not exceed four square feet. October 2010 Page 14 0 0_._._.

For greater use by the general public, all channels and public waterways in existence as of February 2, 1965, on which date, by Resolution 65-112, the Orange County Board of Supervisors established the channel widths, shall be maintained as public waterways. Location of bulkhead lines and encroachment areas shall be established and no structures shall extend beyond the bulkhead line except for ramps (gangways) and docks. ii. Every effort shall be made to protect and preserve existing natural sea life and waterfowl, and to maintain "clean"water. iii. To meet visitor-serving needs, the 11th Street public beach shall be retained in its present general configuration, or if reconfigured, shall provide equivalent recreational opportunities and shall be properly maintained. Visitor Serving Commercial 2.2.7 Existing commercial facilities should be retained. 2.2.8 Should any existing residence presently on property designated for commercial use be destroyed, such may be rebuilt as a residence providing it conforms to the provisions of the residential guidelines. 2.2.9 Where commercial uses abut residential property, no balconies, decks or open areas intended for public use shall be allowed to infringe on adjacent residential property. Residential 2.2.10 All legally created residential building sites shall be permitted only two dwelling units per site, unless approved otherwise prior to adoption of this Specific Plan. 2.2.11 Affordable housing shall be provided consistent with the City of Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision. Low/moderate cost rental units should be replaced when redevelopment occurs. 2.2.12 Conversion of multi-unit buildings into condominiums shall be allowed only if the building meets the Specific Plan standards. 2.2.13 Public service facilities shall be a permitted use in a residential use area. October 2010 Page 17 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 2.3 Circulation Regional Transportation A network of freeways and arterial highways provide regional access for Sunset Beach. The major arterial regional facilities serving the community are Pacific Coast Highway and the San Diego Freeway. Arterial highways link these two facilities to each other and to Sunset Beach. Several arterial highways connect Pacific Coast Highway with inland areas and the San Diego Freeway. Seal Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue are both designated as major arterial (six lane, divided) highways and provide connections with Pacific Coast Highway at points north and south, respectively, of Sunset Beach. The arterial highway network serves both the motorist and the public transit rider. Countywide and regional access via transit is designed primarily by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), which operates an extensive system of fixed routes and dial-a-ride service throughout Orange County. OCTA's service to the Sunset Beach area is quite extensive. OCTA route#1 utilizes Pacific Coast Highway between Long Beach/Seal Beach and San Clemente, providing north-south service to Sunset Beach. Three other OCTA routes terminate at Pacific Coast Highway and Warner Avenue at the southern end of Sunset Beach, they provide direct service to the beach from inland Orange County areas. The Pacific Coast Bikeway follows Pacific Coast Highway and serves as a major north-south route within Orange County and the only bikeway adjacent and parallel to the coastline. Bikeways connecting to Pacific Coast Highway generally follow arterial highways. Seal Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue both include bikeways. All of the above bikeways are included in the Master Plan of County-wide Bikeways. Sunset Beach Transportation Most of the traffic utilizing Pacific Coast Highway in the vicinity of Sunset Beach is either passing through the area or destined to development adjacent to the community. The approximately 700 dwelling units and various commercial enterprises within Sunset Beach generate a relatively small portion of the trips using the Highway. For most of its length in the vicinity of Sunset Beach, Pacific Coast Highway is a four lane facility with painted median. Some additional development and redevelopment within Sunset Beach may occur, but the impact of this upon the arterial highway system should be minimal. However, increased development in the areas surrounding Sunset Beach and growing demand for access to coastal resources could further impact Pacific Coast Highway and the arterials leading to it. Because of the constraints inherent in acquiring additional right-of-way for Pacific Coast Highway both within and outside of Sunset Beach, it may.be impractical to provide additional travel lanes. Better utilization of the existing right-of-way is a more realistic possibility. As new development and redevelopment occurs, improvements can be made that provide for safe and convenient use of the Highway by pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit vehicles. Also, any new commercial development will have to provide off-street parking and be designed to minimize the number of direct access points to Pacific Coast Highway. An integrated traffic signal system October 2010 Page 18 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan within Sunset Beach can facilitate the flow of traffic. Expanded transit service along Pacific Coast Highway and through the area, to be provided as demand warrants and as financial resources become available, should encourage additional transit use and might somewhat reduce traffic along Pacific Coast Highway. Pacific Coast Highway is operated and maintained by the State Department of Transportation (CalTrans). Thus, any improvement to the Highway is subject to their approval. Local circulation within the Sunset Beach community is tied to parking opportunities and traffic control. Traffic patterns seaward of Pacific Coast Highway revolve around the parking facility located between North and South Pacific Avenues. Traffic movements on other streets are limited by narrow right-of-way and heavy on-street parking. Although there are adequate parking spaces available to meet public, commercial, and residential parking demand, the distribution of available parking negatively affects the supply- demand balance, which causes deficiencies to occur in certain areas. To alleviate the problem, existing parking opportunities need to be retained within the community and maximized wherever possible. Adequate off-street parking will be required in conjunction with all new development or redevelopment of properties. Specific policies and guidelines relating to parking are included in this Specific Plan. Increased transit service and bicycling opportunities should provide access to beach uses without requiring such additional parking. Local circulation and traffic safety will be enhanced by appropriate speed limits. It is expected that the existing 15 miles per hour speed limit on all Sunset Beach Streets, except Pacific Coast Highway, will be retained; however, speed limits must be periodically reviewed to be enforceable. Circulation and safety will also be enhanced by retention of the parking restrictions on North and South Pacific Avenues. Also, conversion of Bay View Drive to one-way operations will be evaluated as a means to improve circulation inland of Pacific Coast Highway. Based on the foregoing, the following circulation policies shall be adhered to: Transportation/Circulation 2.3.1 Speed limits shall be periodically reviewed and vigorously enforced on all local streets within Sunset Beach.- 2.3.2 The City shall work with CalTrans to maintain and/or improve signal timing on Pacific Coast Highway. 2.3.3 The feasibility of converting local streets to one-way circulation shall be evaluated_ 2.3.4 Required street and highway dedication and improvements normally required per the City Code are not applicable to the Sunset Beach Specific Plan area except for those properties abutting Pacific Coast Highway. However, street dedication for 4th through 26th Streets shall conform to the Typical Section for those streets, as shown in Exhibit 2.4, Typical Section. 2.3.5 Pacific Coast Highway is designated a "scenic highway." To ensure that those scenic characteristics are enhanced, public and private projects shall, wherever feasible, provide landscaping wherever there is adequate space. October 2010 Page 19 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan Parking 2.3.6 To the maximum extent feasible, to maximize visitor servicing needs and ensure public safety, the City shall encourage CalTrans to stripe Pacific Coast Highway to provide a safe width for parallel parking. 2.3.7 All existing on-streetr parking shall be retained within Sunset Beach and wherever possible establish programs to maximize their use, except when public safety is compromised. 2.3.8 There shall be no parking on North and South Pacific Avenues, except in front of driveways by permit only. 2.3.9 In order to facilitate visitor serving needs, diagonal parking shall be allowed on Anderson Street and Broadway Avenue. 2.3.10 All street ends, except for emergency access, opening onto the beach shall be fully developed for public parking prior to any other public parking development. 2.3.11 Street ends on the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway will be evaluated for opportunities to develop public parking. 2.3.12 innovative programs to maintain the existing parking supply in residential areas and to provide flexibility for commercial uses shall be encouraged. 2.3.13 Signage and parking control to manage parking supply shall be implemented.

A small portion of the beach at the ocean edge is designated Flood Zone VE, areas of Coastal flood with velocity hazard. Despite the Flood Zone X designation, flood damage in Sunset Beach can occur at times of abnormally high tides when waves overtop the berm and water flows towards the houses. Flood damage resulting from this process, called over-wash, can be reduced by raising the living area of the homes above the level of flowing water. Therefore, special design consideration must be given to development along the shoreline because ocean-water can create a flooding problem. The County of Orange completed a Coastal Flood Plain Development Study, in 1985, to analyze safety measures for structures along the coast. Design guidelines for residential development along the coast are established in Chapter Four of the Coastal Flood Plain Development Study as amended. These guidelines are based on the assumption that the beach will be artificially maintained with a width of at least 150 feet from the ocean-facing private property line. Flowing water is the only design consideration. Should the beach retreat to less width, the possibility of storm erosion and breaking wave activity at the structures may occur and flood protection as regulated by these design guidelines will not provide protection from wave impact forces. Revised design guidelines must then be modified to reflect the circumstances. The County designated the homes seaward of South Pacific Avenue as being in a —FP3 district, subject to flood hazard. The Coastal Flood Plain Development Study requires that any new structure in this area be raised to a specific height above a point on South Pacific Avenue. In addition to providing protection against flood damage, the requirement to build on piling along South Pacific Avenue provides a safety margin should conditions at Sunset Beach return to the way they were in the 1930s when homes were vulnerable to attack by waves. Homes on shallow footings can be rapidly damaged or destroyed if their sand support is lost to erosion. Existing lawful nonconforming residential uses may be severely impacted by the Coastal Flood Plain Development Study and will require special consideration. The publicly owned Sunset Channel has been privately bulkheaded and the streets and alleys, where they abut the channel, were bulkheaded by the County.- As set forth in Section 3, new development shall be required to comply with flood plain regulations and the County's study. 2.5 Infrastructure and Utilities Infrastructure Public facilities analyses of infrastructure requirements and detailed design, construction and phasing will be completed as required by the City of Huntington Beach Department of Public Works. Future development within the Specific Plan area will be responsible for the October 2010 Page 22 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan construction of public facilities improvements concurrent with individual project development, subject to review and approval of the Director of Public Works. Water System The City of Huntington Beach has provided domestic water to the Sunset Beach area since fiscal year 1964/65, when it purchased the Sunset Beach Water District. Upon annexation, domestic water for the Sunset Beach area will continue to be provided by the Public Works Water Division of the City of Huntington Beach. The Water Division provides water to all of the customers within the City of Huntington Beach. The Water Division has use of both underground and imported water sources to service the area. The underground supply comes from nine existing wells, and imported water delivered to the City of Huntington Beach by the Metropolitan Water District(MWD) at three locations. The Specific Plan area is part of the City's Master Plan for Water Service. All water improvements shall be designed to the City of Huntington Beach water standards for future City acceptance and approval.. Locations of fire hydrants and apparatuses will be reviewed for each project by the Fire Department and Water Division of the City of Huntington Beach to ensure adequate fire flow and pressure. Sewer System The Sunset Beach Sanitary District, formed in 1930, is responsible for the review and approval of the collection of wastewater within the project area, and the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) is responsible for the treatment of wastewater. Upon annexation, wastewater service will continue to be provided by the Sunset Beach Sanitary District. Storm Drainage The City of Huntington Beach and the Orange County Public Works/Flood Control Section are the agencies responsible for the flood control system in the vicinity of Sunset Beach. New drainage facilities constructed within the Specific Plan area will be maintained either by the City or privately maintained by a homeowner's association. Any drainage facilities designed or sized to accommodate upstream drainage will be designated as public facilities and maintained by the City. Only drainage that is required by City of Huntington Beach Codes and the ordinances of the Sunset Beach Sanitary District shall be drained into the Sunset Beach Sanitary System lines. All other drainage, such as rain water, irrigation water and other on-site drainage shall drain to the public street or public storm drainage system. All development shall meet the provisions of this requirement. Where new storm drains are necessary to accommodate development, they shall be sited and designed to discharge in the least environmentally sensitive location. Storm Drains and/or Catch Basins shall be marked "No dumping- drains to Ocean" or with other appropriate local insignia. October 2010 Page 23 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan Water Quality The City of Huntington Beach is a coastal community noted for its beaches, which attract numerous people to the area. The beaches support the City's economy and the well being of the City's economy is dependent on maintaining quality of coastal waters. The flow of untreated stormwater and urban runoff can have an adverse impact on the quality of coastal waters since storm drains eventually discharge into the ocean. The City's Coastal Element notes that the City can upgrade water quality by controlling pollutants that enter coastal waters through urban runoff. The City's Coastal Element contains the water and marine resource policies requiring that measures be implemented to mitigate the adverse impacts of human activities on the marine environment. To protect coastal waters, the following water quality measures shall be implemented in conjunction with any new development or significant redevelopment: ® All new development and significant redevelopment, shall comply with the State of California, California Regional Water Quality Control Board Santa Ana Region, Order No. R8-2009-0030 (NPDES No. CAS 6.18030) or subsequent permits. Projects shall comply with the Orange County Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP), all applicable local ordinances and applicable provisions of the NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board Order No. 2009-0009-DWQ), and any subsequent amendments, revisions, or re-issuances thereof. • Prior to issuance of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP), a Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), shall be submitted for review by the Public Works Department, and shall be based on consistency with the provisions herein. New development and significant redevelopment projects shall incorporate Low Impact Development(LID) principles, design elements, and/or Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will effectively prevent runoff contamination, and minimize runoff volume leaving the site in the developed condition, to the greatest extent feasible. ® Prior to issuance of a Grading or Building Permit, a final VVQMP shall be submitted for review and acceptance by the Public Works Department. ® All projects that include dewatering shall obtain coverage under the State of California, California Regional Water Quality Control Board Santa Ana Region de minimis permit, currently Order No. R8-2009-0003 (NPDES No. CAG998001) and subsequent iterations of this permit. Utilities There are several public utility service providers in the Sunset Beach Specific Plan area as described below. Adequate facilities exist for the service needs of the area. Electricity Electrical service to the area is provided by the Southern California Edison Company. Existing transmission and distribution lines are adequate to service current and potential future needs. October 2010 Page 24 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan Natural Gas Natural gas service in the Specific Plan area is provided by the Southern California Gas Company. Adequate facilities exist for current and potential future needs. Telephone Telephone service in the Specific Plan area is provided by Verizon. Cable Television Cable television service within Sunset Beach is provided by Time Warner Cable.

' - Assure priority for coastal-dependent and-.coastal-related development over other development -on the cols i - Encourage state and local initiatives and: cooperation in preparing procedures to implement coordinated planning and development for mutually beneficial uses, including educational uses, in the coastal zone. Consistent with the policies 6,fYthe Act, this Ia. focuses on the protection of coastal resources through orderly, comprehensive planning, General local and the regulation of :development in the coastal zone. The LCP consists coastal of a Land`Use Ylan (I.CP) and an Implementing Actions Program (IAP) program comprising policy guidelines and regulatory requirements, respectively. discussion; The policies contained in the.

Legal Description 5epten#be ctober 2010 Page ii Item 13. - Page 198 -340- Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 1 . Introduction 1.1 Location Sunset Beach is an approximately 134 acre primarily residential community that stretches 1.2 miles from Seal Beach at the northwest extremity to Bolsa Chica State Beach, with which it is contiguous at the southeast, as shown in Exhibit 1.1, Vicinity-Map. It is bordered on the southwest by the Pacific Ocean and on the northeast by the Huntington Harbour and Peter's Landing developments and is in proximity to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and Sunset Aquatic Park. The entirety of Sunset Beach is located in the Coastal Zone. From the ocean inland Sunset Beach is formed by six successive strips running the length of the community: the beach, the ocean front residences along South Pacific Avenue, the linear park/public parking facility between South and North Pacific Avenues, the residences along North Pacific and side streets, the mixed residential-commercial buildings on both sides of Pacific Coast Highway, and the residences on Sunset Island and adjacent to Park Avenue (Exhibit 1.2, Aerial Photograph). 1.2 Specific Plan Area Background Sunset Beach was established as an unincorporated town on September 8, 1904, governed by the County of Orange. Its formal establishment followed construction of the Pacific Electric Railway (PER). The Newport-Balboa line was the first PER line into Orange County and ran down the coast from Long Beach. The line was extended into Huntington Beach via Seal Beach in Summer 1904. Sunset Beach was laid out along the tracks in 1905. An 80 foot wide boulevard was graded running north to south next to the "Red Car" line, the common reference to PER, and became known as Ocean Boulevard. This thoroughfare was renamed Pacific Coast Highway in 1926. Development of Sunset Beach was similar to that of small coastal communities of the time and was punctuated by various events that helped to shape it to its current form, not the least of which was the rail line and the highway. The other notable change for the area was the development of Huntington Harbour in the 1960s, which transformed marsh and slough into residential islands, a marina and commercial area. Sunset Beach is unique among coastal communities in that 55 percent of its total area, excluding streets, is publicly owned and utilized. Of its almost 134 acres, approximately 74 acres are devoted to public uses, which include the main beach, a combination linear park and public parking facility, Sunset Channel and 11th Street beach. Approximately 31 acres are developed with residential and commercial uses, and 28 acres are right-of-way (streets). There are 700 residential units in the community developed at a range of densities, with commercial and mixed use developments mostly along Pacific Coast Highway. The community has approximately 1,300 residents. While Sunset Beach is almost built out, remodeling and rebuilding of residential lots occurs on an on-going basis. ce ba-�-October 2010 Pane 1 -341- Item 10 ® Page 199 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan LL Sunset Beach Vicinity Map City of Huntington Beach Westminster Seal Beach t . , t 1,71 is j T7 'a Y •f T, � 1 _ _ - -� f --r- -, _ � r "iil.S F t; '"'a,---_._ t— ..,_(( `_{1.i.3z_F CIA E� v, a, t_ (I County of Orange Bolsa Chica ' � � —Z ��a Fountain Valley r' UN (... 3: ) 1a� 3{3 �..,.. .-_,....-f•.v,'»,.,`a£"'LX'�,FI o-j�e 1I _ —f i..�_;lG.�: - _.

The Specific Plan establishes specific zoning and site development standards for Sunset Beach generally consistent with the County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan, dated September 1990. Sunset Beach will be annexed to the City of Huntington Beach. After the annexation and the adoption of the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan are effective, the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan will supersede the County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan as the effective zoning regulations for the approximately 134 acre Sunset Beach area.' The intent of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan is to provide clear and comprehensive descriptions of land use, circulation, infrastructure and site development standards. The Specific Plan is regulatory in nature and serves as zoning for the Sunset Beach area, see Exhibit 1.3, Zoning Map. The Specific Plan also serves as the implementation plan for the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program. Development plans and other entitlement requests for the Specific Plan area must be consistent with this Specific Plan and the Huntington Beach General Plan and Local " Coastal Program. 1.4 Authority and Scope The authority to prepare, adopt and implement Specific Plans is granted to the City of Huntington Beach by the California Government Code (Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457). The Specific Plan will be used by the City of Huntington Beach to implement the Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program for the Sunset Beach area. The Specific Plan contains all applicable land use regulations and will thus constitute the zoning for the Sunset Beach area. The Development Standards contained in this Specific Plan will take precedence over all other provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, unless otherwise noted. Local planning agencies or their legislative bodies may designate areas within their jurisdictions as ones for which a Specific Plan is "necessary or convenient" (Government Code Section 65451). A Specific Plan may either be adopted by ordinance or resolution (Government Code Section 65507). Adoption of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan shall be consistent with the provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 215. 1 The County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan lists the acreage for the Specific Plan area as 115 total acres,30 acres of which are the main beach. With the benefit of geographic information systems, and based on current information from the County of Orange and a legal description,the total acreage is now estimated at almost 134, approximately 58 of which are the main beach. e,.-,+char nrtnhpr gnin Page 4 Item 13. ® Page 202 -344- 0' Er a Li 'k 7 rd� qu�abt fir /✓ �,J �, QCD h ti � '� car .. � � ��;� •�' , �' Trij CD `'' " CD CD o1 � - a � F __ r. rca4a CDs t nepey Qr �� r, c l Sunset Beach Specific Plan-Coastal Zone Overlay SP17-cz Pik LEGEND Parcels Huntington Beach Boundary ;WaD� Specific Plan Boundary e v Exhibit 1 .3 Zoning Map m w Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 1.5 Previous County of ®range Approvals for Sunset Beach On March 9, 1982, the Orange County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 82-349, authorizing preparation of a Specific Plan for Sunset Beach. The Land Use Plan, including Development Guidelines, was approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 6, 1981, as an amendment to the Orange County General Plan. The purpose of the County Sunset Beach Specific Plan (SBSP/LCP)was to tie together the Land Use Plan and Implementing Actions Program of the County's Local Coastal Program. In January, 1986, the Board of Supervisors directed the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) to prepare an amendment to the SBSP/LCP. Amendment 90-1 to the SBSP/LCP was approved by the Board of the Supervisors by Resolution No. 90-1244 and Ordinance No. 3798 on September 26, 1990. The Sunset Beach area remained an unincorporated "island" while the cities of Seal Beach and Huntingtont Beach incorporated and annexed adjoining areas. In 2009, the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) placed the unincorporated Sunset Beach area in the City of Huntington Beach's Sphere of Influence, facilitating the annexation of Sunset Beach to the City of Huntington Beach. This proposed City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan is intended to comply with State law requiring the City to adopt zoning regulations for property ("pre-zone") before annexation is approved by LAFCO. 1.6 Previous California Coastal Commission Approvals for Sunset Beach The California Coastal Commission originally certified the SBSP/LCP on October 27, 1983. Subsequently, the Commission certified the amended SBSP/LCP on July, 17, 1991. The Commission retains original permit jurisdiction over development seaward of the mean high tide line. Therefore, it has permitting authority for improvements in/above the ocean and waterway and has issued such coastal development permits in Sunset Beach. This City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan must be approved by the California Coastal Commission in order to become effective. 1.7 Consistency with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared as part of the Specific Plan approval process. The Initial Study will serve as the basis on which the environmental effects of implementation of the Specific Plan can be ascertained. The Initial Study indicated that a Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA compliance tool, and has been prepared as part of this Specific Plan process. All subsequent approvals necessary to develop any property within the Specific Plan area must be consistent with the Specific Plan and within the scope of the Negative Declaration. Additional environmental documentation may be required in the future if new significant _q4LniamJrnrfnhPr 9n1 n Page 6 Item 13. e Page 204 -346- Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan development is proposed or if significant changes are found to have occurred pursuant to Section 15162 and 15182 of the CEQA Guidelines. September Jctober 2010 Pan,-7 -347- Item 13. - Page 205 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 2. Land Use Plan The goal of the Land Use Plan is to maintain and enhance the special character of Sunset Beach. The Land Use Plan establishes and designates areas of residential and commercial development that will not impair coastal resources or public access to the coast consistent with the previous County Specific Plan. It identifies the beach, waterway and public parking facilities and policies to preserve them. Preservation of the unique character of Sunset Beach is the fundamental goal from which the Land Use Policies are derived. 2.1 Existing Conditions Sunset Beach is characterized by the unique and valuable commodity of its sandy beach and ocean shoreline. It is also surrounded on its inland side by a system of waterway canals in the Huntington Harbour development. The majority of the Sunset Beach area is designated for _ . public or community use, the largest component of which is the beach. The beach is bounded on the south by Warner Avenue and on the north by Anderson Street, a distance of 6,300 feet. Access to the shoreline is at 27 street-end locations through the residential areas, 35 feet in width, located every 200 feet along the beach frontage. The only recreation facilities on the beach are volleyball nets. Approximately 1,500 feet of the beach is open for surfing. Lifeguard service is provided on a seasonal basis. Outdoor games, swimming, surfing and fishing constitute the major activities at this beach. The area also benefits from a 13 acre linear park/public parking facility, constructed by the County of Orange in the old Pacific-Electric right-of-way, with picnic areas, a tot lot, five restroom buildings, pathways, and 624 parking spaces. This area is also referred to as the "greenbelt." Other notable public uses include the Sunset Channel, 11th Street beach, a post office and a volunteer fire station. The Sunset Beach Community Association also owns and operates a community center, which functions as a quasi-public use. There are no public boat launch sites in Sunset Channel with the exception that nontrailerable boats that can be hand-carried may be launched at the 11th Street Beach. There are no publicly maintained boating facilities within the Sunset Beach area. However, private docks are available in Sunset Channel adjacent to commercial and residential properties subject to the permit process. Private land uses in Sunset Beach are residential and commercial. The residential uses consist of 700 single and multiple family type dwelling units, on typically 2,700 square foot lots, which are well mixed throughout both residential and commercial areas. Densities range from approximately 22 to 45 units per acre. There are approximately 70 commercial establishments. Existing commercial uses range from neighborhood convenience facilities such as markets, to more area-wide facilities such as motels, restaurants, and specialty shops that generally front on Pacific Coast Highway. Because of the compact size and special nature of the Sunset Beach community and the limited area for commercial uses, the convenience facilities and goods provided serve the visitors and tourists as well as local residents. The Sunset Beach area consists of 497 parcels, the beach, and right-of-way. All but four of these parcels are fully developed or used in substantial part by an adjacent parcel for yard area, I R;znt5nmhPr nrtnhPr 9n1 n Page 8 Item 13® ® Page 206 -348- Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan parking or accessory structures. Of the four parcels, three are vacant and one parcel is occupied by a billboard. The existing residential and commercial areas are 99 percent developed. Sunset Beach exhibits generally low relief with elevations ranging from sea level to five feet above sea level. Erosion of the shoreline in the area has been relatively continuous since the construction of the east jetty of Anaheim Bay in 1944. In 1945, the Navy constructed 600 feet of stone revetment downcoast from the Anaheim Bay east jetty to retard the erosion but had to reinforce it the following year. In 1947, the revetment was further extended and a wood sheet- pile bulkhead established to strengthen the shore road. In the 1940s, 1,422,000 cubic yards of material were placed on the beach. Additional material has been placed along the Surfside- Sunset Beach shoreline on a regular basis over the years and is expected to be needed on an on-going basis. Much of the area northwest of Pacific Coastal Highway was once a marsh and slough and was dredged and redeveloped to establish part of Sunset Island and Huntington Harbour in the 1960s. The development of these communities destroyed the marsh-slough habitat. The developed area of Sunset Beach does not provide a suitable habitat for wildlife or native vegetation because of its highly urbanized character, although certain avifauna may forage on the beach. Along the sandy beaches of the Specific Plan area, plankton, organic detritus, and debris form a primary food source for many of the macroscopic (i.e., large enough to be observed by the naked eye) species of marine animals, such as beach hoppers, sand crabs, and various species of clams. Also, microfauna could possibly be a food source for invertebrate macroscopic filter feeders. Filter and deposit feeders provide a food source for many fish species such as barred surfperch and California corbina, and also for numerous shore birds such as willets, whimbrels, dowitchers, plovers, and gulls. In turn, many of the vertebrates, especially the fishes, provide a food source for larger carnivorous vertebrates such as other fishes and mammals. Many invertebrate species are subject to cycles of abundance and rarity on any segment of sandy beach shoreline. The fish species present are frequently taken by in-shore anglers but are not exclusively confined to the shallow water of the open coast sandy beaches; they can also be found in deeper waters, or in bays and harbors, depending on such factors as migratory habits, spawning habits, weather conditions, wave conditions, and currents. Pismo clams are known to exist all along the intertidal and subtidal zones of the sandy beach shorelines from Anaheim Bay Harbor to the entrance to Newport Harbor. This bivalve is an important resource sought by recreational Clammers. The open coast sandy beach in the Specific Plan area and vicinity are spawning habitat for the grunion. Other fish species such as the barred surfperch and California corbina are found in the surf zone feeding primarily upon sand crabs. Common sandy beach organisms such as sand crab, pismo clam, bean clam, and polychaetes are known to exist intertidaily and subtidally along the Surfside-Sunset Beach shoreline in spite of previous beach deposition (sand replenishment) operations. Imp^ -October 2010 Pane Cl -349- Item 13. ® Page 207 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 2.2 Land Use The Sunset Beach Land Use Plan is intended to implement the goals of the City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Broadly stated, the goals for the area are to: ® Maintain and enhance the special character of Sunset Beach. ® Protect, maintain, and, where feasible, enhance and restore the overall quality of the coastal zone environment and its natural and man-made resources. ® Assure orderly, balanced utilization and conservation of coastal zone resources taking into account the social economic needs of the people of the state. • Maximize public access to and along the coast and maximize public recreational opportunities in the coastal zone consistent with sound resource conservation principles and constitutionally protected rights of private property owners. ■ Assure priority for coastal-dependent and coastal-related development over other development on the coast. ® Encourage state and local initiatives and cooperation in preparing procedures to implement coordinated planning and development for mutually beneficial uses, including educational uses, in the coastal zone. More specifically, the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Land Use Plan proposes to carry forward the land use designations previously approved by the County of Orange and California Coastal Commission. However, for consistency with the City's General Plan, some of the designations are different in name, though the types of permitted uses are similar. These uses will also be governed by the more specific regulations of this Specific Plan, as set forth in Section 3. The Sunset Beach Land Use Plan is illustrated in Exhibit 2.1. The Plan designates the 134 acre Specific Plan area as follows: Land Use Designation Acres Residential High Density-30 22.32 Commercial Visitor-Mixed Use Overlay 9.16 Public 13.00 Open Space-Shoreline 57.74 Open Space-Water Recreation 3.40 Right of Way 28.26 Total 133.88 caniana4:i r nrtnhPr,?n1 n Page 10 Item 13. - Page 208 -350- Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan The Residential High Density designation has a General Plan/Local Coastal Program density category of greater than 30 units per net acre, denoted by"-30" to reflect the existing density condition of some parts of Sunset Beach. The Commercial Visitor designation has a Mixed Use ("-mu") Overlay, which permits residential uses in conjunction with the underlying commercial designation. This is in recognition that the Specific Plan allows for residential units above the ground floor in the CV area.2 In addition to the underlying land use designations, and the notations for RH and CV described above, the entire area has a Specific Plan Overlay (°-sp") designation in recognition of the need and existence of a specific plan for the Sunset Beach area. The City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program also use Subarea designations to identify areas that are unique in the city, serve certain functions or have area- specific goals or regulations. The Sunset Beach Specific Plan area will be designated as Subarea 4L on the City's Community District and Subarea Schedule in the General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Those Subarea Schedules refer the reader to this Specific Plan for development regulations. -- Z The County's existing Specific Plan allows residential uses above the ground floor in the Commercial Visitor(Sunset Beach Tourist District)area.A 2010 review of existing development in Sunset Beach indicates that there are approximately 80 residential units in the areas designated for principally commercial uses.

However, due to the unique nature of Sunset Beach and the fact that it is already almost fully developed at the time that this Specific Plan is being created, previous Land Use Plan Guidelines contained in the original County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan are being carried forward to the extent that they are still relevant. The Land Use Plan Guidelines below are designed to: implement the Land Use Plan, specifically; carry out the intent of the General Plan and Coastal Act consistent with the desires of the community; and be a supplement to the City's General Plan and Local Coastal Program, which also contain relevant policies. The Guidelines consist of the Land Use Map (see Exhibit 2.1) and the following text: Beach and Sand Area 2-27-2.2.1 Existing beach and sand areas shall be maintained in their present form: i. to preserve the unique public recreational character of Sunset Beach; recreation shall be defined as passive-and active recreation that is in conformance with the development guidelines of the Sunset Beach Land Use Plan. ii. in cooperation with the State Department of Fish and Game, to protect and preserve the natural habitat of spawning grunion, pismo clam and other shellfish beds, porpoise feeding and sporting grounds, feeding grounds for the California brown pelican, grebes, cormorants, terns, gulls and all other natural sea life and waterfowl. iii. to protect beachfront residences and maintain both public and private open ocean view and access. 2v 2.2.2 The following shall be adhered to to maintain the existing beach and sand areas: i. Dredging and sand replenishment shall be scheduled during fall and winter months to reduce conflict with sunning, swimming and other shoreline water activities. ii. The city shall cooperate with the United States Army Corps of Engineers and other applicable agencies regarding all sand replenishment activities. iii. Sand replenishment shall be deposited at the northwest end of the beach in the area contiguous to the U.S. Navy Ammunition & Net Depot harbor groin, the point of primary and maximum erosion. From that point sand shall be distributed southeastward down the beach by natural wave and current action. This will avoid the destruction of natural marine life habitat. At the same time it will preserve the recreational character of the beach and the fine grain and cleanliness characteristic of alluvial ocean sands. Sand shall not be pumped directly on the beach within Sunset beach except in response to immediate danger to residences.

September October 2010 Pan- 17 -357- Item 13. - Page 21 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 2.3 Circulation Regional Transportation A network of freeways and arterial highways provide regional access for Sunset Beach. The major arterial regional facilities serving the community are Pacific Coast Highway and the San Diego Freeway. Arterial highways link these two facilities to each other and to Sunset Beach. Several arterial highways connect Pacific Coast Highway with inland areas and the San Diego Freeway. Seal Beach Boulevard-and Warner Avenue are both designated as major arterial (six lane, divided) highways and provide connections with Pacific Coast Highway at points north and south, respectively, of Sunset Beach. The arterial highway network serves both the motorist and the public transit rider. Countywide and regional access-via transit is designed primarily by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), which operates an extensive system of fixed routes and dial-a-ride service throughout Orange County. OCTA's service to the Sunset Beach area is quite extensive. OCTA route #1 utilizes Pacific Coast Highway between Long Beach/Seal Beach and San Clemente, providing north-south service to Sunset Beach. Three other OCTA routes terminate at Pacific Coast Highway and Warner Avenue at the southern end of Sunset Beach; they provide direct service to the beach from inland Orange County areas. The Pacific Coast Bikeway follows Pacific Coast Highway and serves as a major north-south route within Orange County and the only bikeway adjacent and parallel to the coastline. Bikeways connecting to Pacific Coast Highway generally follow arterial highways. Seal Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue both include bikeways. All of the above bikeways are included in the Master Plan of County-wide Bikeways. Sunset Beach Transportation Most of the traffic utilizing Pacific Coast Highway in the vicinity of Sunset Beach is either passing through the area or destined to development adjacent to the community. The approximately 700 dwelling units and various commercial enterprises within Sunset Beach generate a relatively small portion of the trips using the Highway. For most of its length in the vicinity of Sunset Beach, Pacific Coast Highway is a four lane facility with painted median. Some additional development and redevelopment within Sunset Beach may occur, but the impact of this upon the arterial highway system should be minimal. However, increased development in the areas surrounding Sunset Beach and growing demand for access to coastal resources could further impact Pacific Coast Highway and the arterials leading to it. Because of the constraints inherent in acquiring additional right-of-way for Pacific Coast Highway both within and outside of Sunset Beach, it may be impractical to provide additional travel lanes. Better utilization of the existing right-of-way is a more realistic possibility. As new development and redevelopment occurs, improvements can be made that provide for safe and convenient use of the Highway by pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit vehicles. Also, any new commercial development will have to provide off-street parking and be designed to minimize the gni n Page 18 Item 13. - Page 216 -358- Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan number of direct access points to Pacific Coast Highway. An integrated traffic signal system within Sunset Beach can facilitate the flow of traffic. Expanded transit service along Pacific Coast Highway and through the area, to be provided as demand warrants and as financial resources become available, should encourage additional transit use and might somewhat reduce traffic along Pacific Coast Highway. Pacific Coast Highway is operated and maintained by the State Department of Transportation (CalTrans). Thus, any improvement to the Highway is subject to their approval. - Local circulation within the Sunset Beach community is tied to parking opportunities and traffic control. Traffic patterns seaward of Pacific Coast Highway revolve around the parking facility located between North and South Pacific Avenues. Traffic movements on other streets are limited by narrow right-of-way and heavy on-street parking. Although there are adequate parking spaces available to meet public, commercial, and residential parking demand, the distribution of available parking negatively affects the supply- demand balance, which causes deficiencies to occur in certain areas. To alleviate the problem, existing parking opportunities need to be retained within the community and maximized wherever possible. Adequate off-street parking will be required in conjunction with all new development or redevelopment of properties. Specific policies and guidelines relating to parking are included in this Specific Plan. Increased transit service and bicycling opportunities should provide access to beach uses without requiring such additional parking. Local circulation and traffic safety will be enhanced by appropriate speed limits. It is expected that the existing 15 miles per hour speed limit on all Sunset Beach Streets, except Pacific Coast Highway, will be retained; however, speed limits must be periodically reviewed to be enforceable. Circulation and safety will also be enhanced by retention of the parking restrictions on North and South Pacific Avenues. Also, conversion of Bay View Drive to one-way operations will be evaluated as a means to improve circulation inland of Pacific Coast Highway. Based on the foregoing, the following circulation policies shall be adhered to: Transportation/Circulation 2.3.1 Speed limits shall be periodically reviewed and vigorously enforced on all local streets within Sunset Beach. 2.3.2 The City shall work with CalTrans to maintain and/or improve signal timing on Pacific Coast Highway. 2.3.3 The feasibility of converting local streets to one-way circulation shall be evaluated. 2.3.4 Required street and highway dedication and improvements normally required per the City Code are not applicable to the Sunset Beach Specific Plan area except for those properties abutting Pacific Coast Highway. However, street dedication for 4th through 26th Streets shall conform to the Typical Section for those streets, as shown in Exhibit 2.4, Typical Section. 2.3.5 Pacific Coast Highway is designated a "scenic highway." To ensure that those scenic characteristics are enhanced, public and private projects shall, wherever feasible, provide landscaping wherever there is adequate space. September-October 2010 Pana 1 Q -359- Item 13. ® Page 217 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan Parking 2.3.6 To the maximum extent feasible, to maximize visitor servicing needs and ensure public safety, the City shall encourage CalTrans to stripe Pacific Coast Highway to provide a safe width for parallel parking. 2.3.7 All existing on-street parking shall be retained within Sunset Beach and wherever possible establish programs to maximize their use, except when public safety is compromised. 2.3.8 There shall be no parking on North and South Pacific Avenues, except in front of driveways by permit only. 2.3.9 In order to facilitate visitor serving needs, diagonal parking shall be allowed on Anderson Street and Broadway Avenue. 2.3.10 All street ends, except for emergency access, opening onto the beach shall be fully developed for public parking prior to any other public parking development. 2.3.11 Street ends on the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway will be evaluated for opportunities to develop public parking. 2.3.12 Innovative programs to maintain the existing parking supply in residential areas and to provide flexibility for commercial uses shall be encouraged. 2.3.13 Signage and parking control to manage parking supply shall be implemented.

A small portion of the beach at the ocean edge is designated Flood Zone VE, areas of Coastal flood with velocity hazard. Despite the Flood Zone X designation, flood damage in Sunset Beach can occur at times of abnormally high tides when waves overtop the berm and water flows towards the houses. Flood damage resulting from this process, called over-wash, can be reduced by raising the living area of the homes above the level of flowing water. Therefore, special design consideration must be given to development along the shoreline because ocean-water can create a flooding problem. The County of Orange completed a Coastal Flood Plain Development Study, in 1985, to analyze safety measures for structures along the coast. Design guidelines for residential development along the coast are established in Chapter Four of the Coastal Flood Plain Development Study as amended. These guidelines are based on the assumption that the beach will be artificially maintained with a width of at least 150 feet from the ocean-facing private property line. Flowing water is the only design consideration. Should the beach retreat to less width, the possibility of storm erosion and breaking wave activity at the structures may occur and flood protection as regulated by these design guidelines will not provide protection from wave impact forces. Revised design guidelines must then be modified to reflect the circumstances. The County designated the homes seaward of South Pacific Avenue as being in a —FP3 district, subject to flood hazard. The Coastal Flood Plain Development Study requires that any new structure in this area be raised to a specific height above a point on South Pacific Avenue. In addition to providing protection against flood damage, the requirement to build on piling along South Pacific Avenue provides a safety margin should conditions at Sunset Beach return to the way they were in the 1930s when homes were vulnerable to attack by waves. Homes on shallow footings can be rapidly damaged or destroyed if their sand support is lost to erosion. Existing lawful nonconforming residential uses may be severely impacted by the Coastal Flood Plain Development Study and will require special consideration. The publicly owned Sunset Channel has been privately bulkheaded and the streets and alleys, where they abut the channel, were bulkheaded by the County. As set forth in Section 3, new development shall be required to comply with flood plain regulations and the County's study. 2.5 Infrastructure and Utilities Infrastructure Public facilities analyses of infrastructure requirements and detailed design, construction and phasing will be completed as required by the City of Huntington Beach Department of Public Works. Future development within the Specific Plan area will be responsible for the R izntnm4 Qr nn.tnhar 9n1 n Page 22 Item 13. - Page 220 -362- Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan construction of public facilities improvements concurrent with individual project development, subject to review and approval of the Director of Public Works. Water System The City of Huntington Beach has provided domestic water to the Sunset Beach area since fiscal year 1964/65, when it purchased the Sunset Beach Water District. Upon annexation, domestic water for the Sunset Beach area will continue to be provided by the Public Works Water Division of the City of Huntington Beach. The Water Division provides water to all of the customers within the City of Huntington Beach. The Water Division has use of both underground and imported water sources to service the area. The underground supply comes from nine existing wells, and imported water delivered to the City of Huntington Beach by the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) at three locations. The Specific Plan area is part of the City's Master Plan for Water Service. All water improvements shall be designed to the City of Huntington Beach water standards for future City acceptance and approval. Locations of fire hydrants and apparatuses will be reviewed for each project by the Fire Department and Water Division of the City of Huntington Beach to ensure adequate fire flow and pressure. Sewer System The Sunset Beach Sanitary District, formed in 1930, is responsible for the review and approval of the collection of wastewater within the project area, and the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) is responsible for the treatment of wastewater. Upon annexation, wastewater service will continue to be provided by the Sunset Beach Sanitary District. Storm Drainage The City of Huntington Beach and the Orange County Public Works/Flood Control Section are the agencies responsible for the flood control system in the vicinity of Sunset Beach. New drainage facilities constructed within the Specific Plan area will be maintained either by the City or privately maintained by a homeowner's association. Any drainage facilities designed or sized to accommodate upstream drainage will be designated as public facilities and maintained by the City. Only drainage that is required by City of Huntington Beach Codes and the ordinances of the Sunset Beach Sanitary District shall be drained into the Sunset Beach Sanitary System lines. All other drainage, such as rain water, irrigation water and other on-site drainage shall drain to the public street or public storm drainage system. All development shall meet the provisions of this requirement. Where new storm drains are necessary to accommodate development, they shall be sited and designed to discharge in the least environmentally sensitive location. Storm Drains and/or Catch Basins shall be marked "No dumping- drains to Ocean" or with other appropriate local insignia. October 2010 Pana 7:1 -363- Item 13. ® Page 221 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan Water Quality The City of Huntington Beach is a coastal community noted for its beaches, which attract numerous people to the area. The beaches support the City's economy and the well being of the City's economy is dependent on maintaining quality of coastal waters. The flow of untreated stormwater and urban runoff can have an adverse impact on the quality of coastal waters since storm drains eventually discharge into the ocean. The City's Coastal Element notes that the City can upgrade water quality by controlling pollutants that enter coastal waters through urban runoff. The City's Coastal Element contains the water and marine resource policies requiring that measures be implemented to mitigate the adverse impacts of human activities on the marine environment. To protect coastal waters, the following water quality measures shall be implemented in conjunction with any new development or significant redevelopment: ® All new development and significant redevelopment, shall comply with the State of California, California Regional Water Quality Control Board Santa Ana Region, Order No. R8-2009-0030 (NPDES No. CAS 618030) or subsequent permits. Projects shall comply with the Orange County Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP), all applicable local ordinances and applicable provisions of the NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board Order No. 2009-0009-DWQ), and any subsequent amendments, revisions, or re-issuances thereof. ® Prior to issuance of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP), a Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), shall be submitted for review by the Public Works Department, and shall be based on consistency with the provisions herein. New development and significant redevelopment projects shall incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) principles, design elements, and/or Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will effectively prevent runoff contamination, and minimize runoff volume leaving the site in the developed condition, to the greatest extent feasible. ® Prior to issuance of a Grading or Building Permit, a final WQMP shall be submitted for review and acceptance by the Public Works Department. ® All projects that include dewatering shall obtain coverage under the State of California, California Regional Water Quality Control Board Santa Ana Region de minimis permit, currently Order No. R8-2009-0003 (NPDES No. CAG998001) and subsequent iterations of this permit. Utilities There are several public utility service providers in the Sunset Beach Specific Plan area as described below. Adequate facilities exist for the service needs of the area. Electricity Electrical service to the area is provided by the Southern California Edison Company. Existing transmission and distribution lines are adequate to service current and potential future needs.

Sunset Beach LCP Review Board The County's Sunset Beach LCP was developed largely through the vigorous efforts of the Sunset Beach community through the LCP Advisory Committee. Subsequent to the County's LCP adoption, the Board of Supervisors designated the Sunset Beach LCP Conformity and Violation Review Board (commonly known as the "LCP Board") as the official citizen's review group in Sunset Beach. The Committee helped identify the community lifestyle and special needs of Sunset Beach. It recognizes the complex needs and limits of planning an area that is 96 percent developed. Coastal Act Policies have been applied with sensitivity to the existing community. The Sunset Beach LCP Review Board provides continuing community participation in the long- term process of implementing the provisions of this Specific Plan. Such process does not replace the current mode of community participation, but provides a centralized forum for obtaining community opinion and for transmitting recommendations to the City. The LCP Review Board's specific function and membership is contained in a separate document titled "Bylaws of the Sunset Beach Advisory Committee (LCP Board)." In addition, the Director of Planning and Building shall forward the following items to the Sunset Beach LCP Review Board: ® All discretionary permit applications, special event permits and harbor permits for review and comment at least 21 calendar days prior to final action by the approving authority.

G:IENVIRONMICHECKLST Page 1 Item 13. ® Page 258 -400- ATTACHMENT NO, . t 6. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project involves five components: 1)annexation application to Orange County Local Area Formation Commission(LAFCO)to annex the Sunset Beach area to the City of Huntington Beach; 2)general plan amendment to establish City general plan designations for the area and make text changes referencing Sunset Beach, 3)adoption of the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan, 4)zoning map amendment to establish the proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan as the new zoning for the area,and 5) local coastal program amendment to establish land use plan designations,make text changes referencing Sunset Beach and to reflect the Specific Plan and zoning for the area per items 3)and 4). Future references in this document to "the project"refer to all five proposed actions: annexation, general plan amendment,adoption of the Specific Plan,zoning map amendment and local coastal program amendment. Annexation The City is proposing to annex the 109 acre Sunset Beach area located in the jurisdiction of the County of Orange. The annexation process is initiated by resolution by the City of Huntington Beach City Council. General Plan Amendment The second component of the proposed project involves establishing City General Plan designations for the annexation area. The project would amend the General Plan Land Use Map (Figure LU-5)to establish General Plan land use designations for the Sunset Beach area as follows - approximately 22.3 acres for Residential High Density-30, 9.2 acres for Visitor Serving Commercial-Mixed Use Overlay, 13.0 ac i,,;-- fir Public, 3.4 acres for Open Space-Water Recreation and 33.2 acres for Open Space-Shy 4iine. l is remainder of the area is right-of-way. The entire area would also have a Specific Plan Overlay. The proposed City of Huntington Beach General Plan land use designations mirror those of the existing Co€unty of Orange Land Use Plan for Sunset Beach. The General Plan Amendment would designa��: A_�. Beach area as Subarea 4L on the Community District and Subarea Schedule (Figure LU-6 and 1 ab.M �,tJ 4) and would amend Table LU-3 to add a reference to "specific plans" for the Mixed Use Overlay. In addition, the General Plan Amendment would update figures to reflect the change in the City`:, t ,:.1.:d`ary, would make minor wording changes to the Utilities Element and would update the Recreation and Community Services Element to reflect update recreational amenity information. Prezoning(Zoning'Text Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment) The third and fourth components of the project involve adoption of a specific plan(zoning text amendment)and change to the zoning map for the annexation area in accordance with LAFCO procedures. LAFCO requires that the City establish site zoning before annexation is approved by LAFCO_ The Zoning Text Amendment application is a request to create the Sunset Beach Specific Plan that will pr v i i:c development standards for the Specific Plan area. The Specific Plan has been prepared to be consistent with the intent of the existing County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan and will not result in an increase in the density or intensity of land use beyond what is set forth in the County's Specific Nan. The Zoning Map Amendment request would amend the City Zoning Map to establish the Specific Plan zoning for the area. The total acreage of the Specific Plan area is as follows (refer to Exhibit I for locations): General Plan Designation/Specific Plan District Residential High Density/Sunset Beach Residential: 22.32 acres Commercial Visitor/Sunset Beach Tourist: 9.16 Public/Sunset Beach Parking 13.00 Open Space Waterway/Sunset Beach Waterway 3.40 Open Space Shoreline/Sunset Beach Beach 33.17 Right of WayNght of Way 28.26 Total: 109.31 Page 2 -401- AT Item 13. - Page 259 W I '- Pacific fSoNst HWy Pacific-Coabt>.rjw. ,- at a .,4i%tl•M.,a•.r,;: :v 1lo�a YL;' .a� i .`4'. r s:t•;yY.

EXISTING PROJECT APPROVALS: County of Orange: Approved the Sunset Beach Specific Plan in 1983. Approved Amendment to the Sunset Beach Specific Plan in 1990 California Coastal Commission: - - Certified the County's original Specific Plan in 1985 and certified the amendment in 1991. Orange County LAFCO: In 2009 LAFCO placed the unincorporated Sunset Beach area in the City of Huntington Beach Sphcre of Influence. 8. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND SETTING: The Sunset Beach area is located at the northwest end of the City of Huntington Beach and is generally bounded by the City of Seal Beach to the north,the Pacific Ocean to the southwest and the City of Huntington Beach to the east and southeast. The northern limit of the Sunset Beach area is Anderson Street and the southern limit is Warner Avenue. Across Anderson Street is the Seal Beach residential community of Surfside and various commercial uses. Huntington Harbour and Peter's Landing are located in the City of Huntington Beach to the east, Bolsa Chica State Beach and Bolsa Chica Lowlands are located to the south. 9. OTHER PREVIOUS RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: None. In approving its Sunset Beach Specific Plan/Local Coastal Program in 1983 and 1990, the County of Orange used the California Environmental Quality Act statutory exemption for the preparation of Local Coastal Program Amendments. 10. OTHER AGENCIES WHOSE APPROVAL IS REQUIRED (AND PERMITS NEEDED): Local Agency Formation Commission(LAFCO)approval of the proposed annexation of the subject property must be completed after the City of Huntington Beach approves pre-zoning in order for the annexation to be recorded and become effective. The Local Coastal Program Amendment is subject to review and approval by the California Coastal Commission prior to becoming effective. Page 4 -403- A Item 13. - Page 261 ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a"Potentially Significant Impact"or is"Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated,"as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. ❑ Land Use/Planning ❑ Transportation/Traffic ❑ Public Services ❑ Population/Housing ❑ Biological Resources ❑ Utilities/Service Systems ❑ Geology/Soils ❑ Mineral Resources ❑ Aesthetics ® Hydrology/Water Quality ❑ Hazards and Hazardous Materials ❑ Cultural Resources ® Air Quality ❑ Noise ❑ Recreation ❑ Agriculture Resources ❑ Greenhouse Gas Emissions ❑ Mandatory Findings of Significance DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, 191 and-a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on ❑ an attached sheet have been added to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an 11 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a"potentially significant impact"or a"potentially significant unless mitigated impact"on the environment, but at least one impact(1)has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,and(2)has ❑ been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects(a)have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and(b)have been avoided ❑ or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EM or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is r red. Signa Date Printed N me Title Page 5 Item 13. o Page 262 -404- ATTACHMENT NO.-As EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT'S: 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except"No Impact"answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A"No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to the project. A"No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards. 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved. Answers should address off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct,and construction as well as operational impacts. 3. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate, if an effect is significant or potentially significant, or if the lead agency lacks information to make a finding of insignificance. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact"entries when the determination is made, preparation of an Environmental Impact Report is warranted. 4. Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigated"applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from"Potentially Significant Impact"to a"Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures,and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level(mitigation measures may be cross-referenced). 5. Earlier analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are listed in Section XIX at the end of the checklist. 6.

LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project: a) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or El 11 MR El regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project(including,but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance)adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? (Sources:#1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 17) Discussion: The proposed annexation,general plan amendment, local coastal program amendment and prezoning for the Sunset Beach area will not result in a conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project(including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. The proposed annexation is within the City's sphere of influence and is contiguous with the City boundary on the east and south. The proposed project is a logical and orderly extension of the City's boundaries and services. The area is almost entirely built out and is a physical extension of the City, and the City currently provides various services to the area as discussed in Issue areas Public Services and Utilities/Service Systems below. The existing development pattern and uses are compatible with existing development in the City on the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway, consisting of similar higher density residential, visitor serving commercial and open space-water recreation uses. The ocean side of the annexation area is dominated by beach,public parking, visitor serving commercial uses and high density residential uses. These uses are consistent with existing uses within the City's coastal area and do not require the creation of new land use designations. As such,the proposed project is consistent with General Plan Land Use Element goal LU 3 and related policies LU 3.1.1 and 3.2.1 relating to annexation as follows: "Achieve the logical, orderly,and beneficial expansion of the City's services and jurisdictional limits."(Goal LU 3) "Require that any lands proposed for annexation are contiguous with the City." (Policy LU 3.1.1) "Require that the existing and future land uses located within the proposed annexation area are compatible with the adjacent City uses." (Policy LU 3.1.2) The proposed project is consistent with the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan goal C 1, which requires that the City"develop a land use plan for the Coastal Zone that protects and enhances coastal resources, promotes public access and balances development with facility needs" and with policy C 1.1.8, which lists five considerations that the City should evaluate when evaluating annexations including the land use goal and policies provided above. The proposed Specific Plan and Land Use Plan do not change the land use goals for the area,maintain the existing access points and do not create any service or facility needs in comparison with the existing County Local Coastal Program for Sunset Beach as approved by the California Coastal Commission. Page 7 Item 13® a Page 264 -406- AT A;%JHNiE 8,_7 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact The proposed prezoning of Sunset Beach with the Sunset Beach Specific Plan is consistent with the City's Zoning Code in that it meets the findings required in Section 215.12 of the City of Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance.The project meets the findings required for approval of a Specific Plan as follows: "The Specific Plan is consistent with the adopted Land Use Element of the General Plan and, if in the coastal zone,with the certified Local Coastal Land Use Plan, and other applicable policies and is compatible with the surrounding development." The proposed Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan and Local Coastal Program as described above and is consistent with the surrounding residential,commercial and open space development in that it designates the area for residential, visitor serving commercial, public and open space uses. The proposed Specific Plan has been developed to be consistent with the existing County Sunset Beach Specific Plan and does not propose changes to the permitted uses. "The Specific Plan will enhance the potential for superior urban design in comparison with the development under the base district provisions that would apply if the Plan were not adopted." The Sunset Beach Specific Plan reflects the unique character of Sunset Beach with its smaller lot sizes and extensive areas for public recreation and parking. It carries forward the County's development standards in term of height, setbacks, parking and density to ensure that development occurring after approval of the annexation and other entitlements will be consistent with the quality of existing development within the Specific Plan area. "Deviations from the base district provisions that otherwise would apply are justified by compensating benefits of the Specific Plan." The Sunset Beach Specific Plan contains regulations, for setbacks and parking among others,that are less restrictive than those of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. These are in recognition of existing conditions and the County's Specific Plan regulations. These regulations allow for the provision of substantial public/open space facilities including the 13 acre linear park/public parking area that provide a direct benefit to the community and general public. "The Specific Plan includes adequate provisions for utilities, services,and emergency vehicle access; and public services demands will not exceed the capacity of existing and planned systems." The Specific Plan contains provisions for the adequate provision of all utilities, services and emergency access to the project area. There are no changes to the existing development standards such that an unanticipated development intensity would occur.

Therefore, implementation of the proposed project will not have an impact in this area. c) Physically divide an established community? (Sources:#1, 5, 19) Discussion: The Sunset Beach Specific Plan was created to be consistent with the existing Specific Plan approved by Orange County and the California Coastal Commission. As such,the proposed project is not expected to result in an increase in density or intensity of development that would physically divide the community and would not result in any impact in this area. II. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project: a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either El directly(e.g., by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly(e.g.,through extensions of roads or other infrastructure)? (Sources: #1, 5, 19) Discussion: The proposed project will not induce substantial population growth in the area. The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan reflects the land use plan as approved by Orange County and the California Coastal Commission. There is no change to the number or location of properties designated for residential and commercial development. The proposed Specific Plan does not include any new infrastructure extensions or roadways. Consequently, the project will not induce any new substantial population growth in the area. b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, 11 El El El necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? (Sources:#1, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion under item c. c) Displace substantial numbers of people,necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? (Sources: El El 0 #1,5, 19) Discussion b)&e): The proposed project will not displace substantial numbers of existing housing or displace substantial numbers of people necessitating the construction of replacement housing. The proposed project does not require nor propose any physical change to the subject area. Therefore,the proposed project will not create any impacts in these areas.

GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project: a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as ❑ ❑ ❑ delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? (Sources: #1, 3, 5, 6, 12, 17, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. ii) Strong seismic ground shaking?(Sources: #1, 6, ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑X 19) Discussion: See discussion below. iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including ❑ ❑ ❑ liquefaction?(Sources: #l, 6, 12, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. iv) Landslides? (Sources: #1,6, 12, 19) ❑ ❑ ❑ Discussion: See discussion below. b) Result in substantial soil erosion,loss of topsoil,or ❑ ❑ ❑ changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation,grading, or fill? (Sources: #5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, ❑ ❑ ❑ or that would become unstable as a result of the project,and potentially result in on or off site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? (Sources: #1, 12, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. d) Be located on expansive soil,as defined in Table 18-1- ® ❑ ❑ 191 B of the Uniform Building Code(1994),creating substantial risks to life or property? (Sources: 1, 12, 19) Page 10 -409- Item 13® ® Page 267 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact Discussion a) through d): The Newport-Inglewood Fault does not extend into the Sunset Beach area, though it extends through Huntington Harbour approximately half a mile to the east. The area is in a potential liquefaction zone. Sunset Beach is flat and not prone to landslides. The project involves annexation of the approximately 109 acre Sunset Beach area,the amendment of the general plan, local coastal program, zoning map and adoption of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan. The project does not change the location or amount of allowed development compared with existing County approvals and does not propose specific development. Therefore, implementation of the project would not create any impacts relating to exposure of people or structures to substantial adverse effects relating to rupture of a known earthquake fault, strong seismic ground shaking,and seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction,landslides, etc. The proposed Specific Plan requires compliance with all federal, state and municipal regulations, which would include compliance with the Uniform Building Code as it pertains to geological conditions. No impacts would occur. e)_ Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal ❑ ❑ ❑ systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater(Sources: #l, 5, 19) Discussion e): The Sunset Beach area will continue to be served by the Sunset Beach Sanitary District upon annexation of the project site. Therefore, the project will have no impact in this area. IV. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project: a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑X requirements? (Sources:# 1, 3, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or ❑ ❑ ❑ 191 interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g.,the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted? (Sources: # 1, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the ❑ ❑ ❑ site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on or off-site? (Sources: # 1, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. Page 11 Item 13. ® Page 268 -410- ATTACHMENT NO. Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the ❑ ❑ ❑ El site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount or surface runoff in a manner that would result in flooding on or off-site? (Sources: #1, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed ❑ ❑ ❑ the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? (Sources: # 1, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? (Sources: 9 1, 3, 5, 19) ❑ ❑ ❑ 3 Discussion a)and t): The Sunset Beach Specific Plan area is adjacent to the Pacific Ocean o tad 'viz-hides the Sunset Beach Channel, which is an extension of the Huntington Harbour area. The area d:oc;aot include any streams or rivers and is not a groundwater recharge area. The proposed project reflects the Specific Plan as approved by Orange County and the California Coastal Commission in terms of amount and location of land uses. The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan would not result in additional density or intensity of land use beyond what is currently allowed. As such, implementation of the proposed project would not create or contribute runoff that would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff or otherwise substantially degrade water quality. The proposed Specific Plan does include a new section on Water Quality,consistent with other City specific plans, requiring compliance with National Pollution Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)requirements and preparation of water quality management plans, as necessary. The project would not have an impact in these areas. g) Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as ❑ ❑ ❑ MX mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? (Sources: #2, 5, 7, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. h) Place within a 100-year flood hazard area structures ❑ ❑ ❑ MX which would impede or redirect flood flows? (Sources: #2, 5, 7, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. Page 12 -���� pItem 13. ® Page 269 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of ❑ ❑ ❑ loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? (Sources: # 1, 2, 5, 7, 19) Discussion g) through i): With the exception of some of the beach area, the entirety of the Specific Plan area is located in FEMA Flood Zone X outside of the 100 year flood hazard area. The small portion of the beach within the Flood Zone is designated as VE. Nonetheless, the County's Specific Plan for the area states that flood damage can occur in Sunset Beach during periods of abnormally high tides and includes flood proofing requirements for new structures along South Pacific Avenue. The County Specific Plan also states that Sunset Channel has been privately bulkheaded and the streets and alleys where they abut the Channel have been bulkheaded by the County. The proposed project would not change land use or zoning designations such that development would be allowed outside of the area designated as Flood Zone X. The City's proposed Specific Plan carries forward the County's floodproofing requirements and requires compliance with the City's Floodplain Ordinance as well. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not have any impacts in this area. j) Inundation by seiche,tsunami, or mudflow? ❑ ❑ ❑ (Sources: # 1, 5, 19) Discussion: The proposed project area is not located within an area associated with tsunami run-up nor susceptible to mudflow. However,there is a possibility for seiche in Sunset Channel or the adjacent Huntington Harbour Channels. The proposed project will not result in additional density or intensity of land use,nor change the location of permitted land uses compared with the existing County Specific Plan. Therefore,the proposed project will not result in any impacts relating to risk of inundation from seiche, tsunami or mudflow. k) Potentially impact storm water runoff from 13 0 ❑ construction activities? (Sources: # 1, 3, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. ❑ ❑ ❑ E-XI 1) Potentially impact storm water runoff from post- construction activities? (Sources: # 1, 3, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. m) Result in a potential for discharge of storm water ❑ ❑ ❑ pollutants from areas of material storage, vehicle or equipment fueling, vehicle or equipment maintenance (including washing),waste handling,hazardous materials handling or storage, delivery areas, loading docks or other outdoor work areas?

(Sources: # 1, 3, 5) Discussion: See discussion below. o) Create or contribute significant increases in the flow ❑ ❑ ❑ velocity or volume of storm water runoff to cause environmental harm? (Sources: # 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. p) Create or contribute significant increases in erosion of ❑ ❑ ❑ 0 the project site or surrounding areas? (Sources: # 5, 19) Discussion items k) through p): The proposed annexation, general plan amendment, local coastal program amendment and prezoning are reflective of the existing Specific Plan as approved by Orange County and the California Coastal Commission. The project would not result in an increase in density or intensity of land use beyond what is currently allowed,and no new construction or development is proposed in association with the project. The proposed Specific Plan does include a section on Water Quality, consistent with other City specific plans,requiring compliance with National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements and preparation of water quality management plans, as necessary. The proposed project will not result in environmental impacts to hydrology and water quality. VE AIR QUALITY. The city has identified the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management district as appropriate to make the following determinations. Would the project: a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute ❑ ❑ ❑ MX substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? (Sources: 41, 5, 8, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. b) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? (Sources: : #1, 5, 8, 19) ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑X Discussion: See discussion below. c) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial ❑ ❑ ❑ n number of people? (Sources: : #1, 5, 8, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. Page 14 n -413- A Item 13. - Page 271 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact d) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the [] ❑ ❑ applicable air quality plan? (Sources: : #1, 5, 8, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. e) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of ❑ ❑ ❑ any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? (Sources: : #1, 5, 8, 19) Discussion a)through e): The City of Huntington Beach and unincorporated Sunset Beach area are located within the South Coast Air Basin. The entire Air Basin is designated as a national-level nonattainment area for ozone, carbon monoxide (CO), respirable particulate matter(PM10) and fine particulate matter(PM2.5). The Basin is also a State-level nonattainment area for ozone,PMio and PM2.5. The proposed project is reflective of the existing Specific Plan as approved by Orange County and the California Coastal Commission and would not result in an increase in density or intensity of lane; _eSe beyond what is currently allowed. No new construction or development is proposed in conjunction �Vith the annexation. Therefore, the project will not result in any impacts to air quality. V1. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC. Would the project: a) Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy ❑ ❑ ❑ 0 establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways and freeways,pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit? (Sources:41, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. b) Conflict with an applicable congestion management ❑ ❑ ❑ program, including,but not limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? (Sources: #1, 5, 19) Discussion a) through b): The community of Sunset Beach is served by a network of local streets, with regional access via Pacific Coast Highway,a state highway operated and maintained by the California Department of Transportation. Access via transit is provided by the Orange County Transportation Authority, which operates four routes in the immediate vicinity of Sunset Beach. The Pacific Coast Bikeway follows Pacific Coast Highway and is included in the Master Plan of Countywide Bikeways. Page 1 S Item 13. ® Page 272 -414- �9TAk" T eIC . 15 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact The proposed project involves amending the General Plan and Local Coastal Program, including adoption of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan,and annexation of the Sunset Beach area to the City of Huntington Beach. The Sunset Beach_Specific Plan is reflective of the Specific Plan approved by Orange County and the California Coastal Commission and would not result in an increase in density or intensity of land use beyond what is currently allowed.The Sunset Beach circulation network is fully developed and will not require an extension of infrastructure as a result of the project. The Specific Plan carries forward the County's specific plan policies as they pertain to overall circulation issues. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project will not conflict with any applicable plans or programs as listed above pertaining to transportation/traffic nor result in associated impacts. c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including ❑ ❑ ❑ either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? (Sources: #5, 10, 19) Discussion: The City is located within the Airport Environs Land Use Plan(AELUP)for the Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos. The Sunset Beach area is located outside of the AELUP's height restriction area; however,the Specific Plan does not allow buildings at a height that would be of concern. The proposed project would not create any impacts for air traffic patterns. d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature ❑ ❑ ® ❑ (e.g., sharp curves or-dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses? (Sources:#2,5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. e) Result in inadequate emergency access? (Sources: #2, ❑ ❑ ® ❑ 5, 19) Discussion d) through e): The proposed project does not propose any development but includes the adoption of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan that provides standards for future development. The Specific Plan reflects the County's Sunset Beach Specific Plan standards. There is not a potential increase in hazards due to incompatible uses or sharp curves as the existing uses allowed by the County and provided for in the City's Specific Plan are compatible and the street network is fully established. However,the standard for one-way drive aisle width(20 feet)for residential projects or commercial projects with 90 degree parking stalls is below those of the City of Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance by six and five feet,respectively, and, in instances of a drive aisle being designated a fire lane,may result in impacts to emergency access for fire apparatus. In addition,the typical street section for the local streets is narrower(four feet less of paved surface)than the City's Standard Plan requirement. The City of Huntington Beach Fire Department currently responds to almost 150 calls per year(approximately 80 percent) in Sunset Beach(see Section IX.Hazards and Hazardous Materials) and reduced drive aisle widths and street sections have not been a significant impediment in their ability to respond,though maneuvering apparatus can be more constrained. Therefore, impacts related to potential design hazards and emergency access are less than significant. Page 16 -415- Item 13. - Pa _73 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? (Sources: #2, ❑ ❑ ® ❑ 5, 19) Discussion: The proposed project does not propose any development but includes the adoption of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan that provides parking standards for future development. The Specific Plan reflects the County's Sunset Beach Specific Plan parking standards. The parking requirements for various uses are less than those of the City of Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance,and there is discussion in the County's Plan regarding parking issues as they relate to distribution. However, due to the compact, pedestrian-oriented character of Sunset Beach,parking is routinely shared. For example, the linear park/parking facility contains 660 public parking spaces that are regularly used by business patrons, employees, residents and visitors. In addition,most streets have on-street parking on at least one side. The sizeable amount of public parking in Sunset Beach given its compact size has helped to offset limited on-site parking for much of the community. The concept of shared parking is recognized as a reasonable way to allow for reduced parking requirements for individual uses. For example, shared parking is an integral component of the City of Huntington Beach downtown area, which has similarities with Sunset Beach in terms of the combined residential and tourist-oriented development pattern,pedestrian focus and small parcel sizes. Therefore,potential impacts related to parking capacity are expected to be less than significant. g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans,or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian ❑ ❑ ❑ 0 facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities? (Sources: # 1, 3, 19) Discussion: See discussion Vla-b. In addition, the City's proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan includes requirements for bicycle parking consistent with the City of Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. These requirements would apply to new development and would improve the availability of bicycle facilities in the area. The proposed Specific Plan also maintains the existing pedestrian access points to the beach and designates the walking path in the linear park as a public facility,consistent with the County's existing plan. The proposed project would not conflict with adopted plans, etc. related to public transit, bicycle or pedestrian facilities and no impacts would result. VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or ❑ ❑ ❑ through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans,policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service?

(Sources: #1, 3, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any ❑ ❑ El X❑ native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? (Sources: #1, 3, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances ❑ ❑ ❑ Q protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? (Sources:#1, 3, 5 ) Discussion: See discussion below. f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan,Natural Community Conservation ❑ ❑ ❑ PIan, or other approved local, regional,or state habitat conservation plan? (Sources: #1, 3, 5, 19) Discussion a)through f): The Sunset Beach area does not include any wetlands but includes beach area that, as described in the County's existing Specific Plan,can be home to a variety of macroscopic species of marine animals,microfauna and invertebrate and vertebrate species that all play a role in the food chain. The proposed project is the annexation, general plan amendment, local coastal program amendment and prezoning for Sunset Beach to incorporate it to the City of Huntington Beach. The City's proposed Specific Plan carries forward the description of the beach area and does not modify any of the regulations that pertain to the open space areas of the Specific Plan, including Sunset Channel. The project will not result in increased density or intensity of land use beyond what is allowed in the existing Specific Plan,nor expand the area that may be developed,and will not create any impacts relating to biological resources.

Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact Discussion items a) through d): There is no school within Y4 mile from the subject area,and there are no properties within Sunset Beach listed on any list of active hazardous sites. There is one gas station site that is on the Leaking Underground Tank(LUST)clean-up site list; however,cleanup is completed and the case is closed. The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan reflects the County's existing Specific Plan and does propose any new land uses. The only permitted uses that might generate hazardous waste on a routine basis are medical uses, boat docks and automobile service stations. All uses must comply with federal, state and local regulations as they pertain to hazardous waste. Consequently,the annexation of the area and adoption of the project would not create any environmental impacts relating to the transportation, use or disposal of hazardous materials or to exposure of the public or environment to hazardous materials. e) For a project located within an airport land use plan ❑ ❑ ❑ 191 or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or pubic use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? (Sources:#5, 10, 19) Discussion: See discussion under item f. f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, ❑ ❑ ❑ would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? (Sources: #5, 10, 19) Discussion e) & f): The City is located within the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) for the Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos, but is not located within two miles of a public or private airport. The Sunset Beach area is located outside of the AELUP's height restriction area, but the Specific Plan does not allow buildings at a height that would be of concern. There are no hazards associated with airport land uses for persons residing or working within the project area. g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with ❑ ❑ ® ❑ an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? (Sources: 92, 5, 19) (Discussion: See discussion under item h. h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires, ❑ ❑ ❑ including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? (Sources: #2, 5, 19,20) Discussion items g)& h): There are no wildlands adjacent to or located within the Sunset Beach area. The Sunset Beach area is currently served by a volunteer(Reserve Fire Fighters)Fire company, located on Pacific Coast Highway; and, through a mutual aid agreement with the Orange County Fire Authority, by the City of Huntington Beach,which has a fire station approximately 800 feet from the Sunset Beach boundary on Warner Avenue, east of Pacific Coast Highway, and by the City of Seal Beach. In addition, Page 20 -419- A-f Item 13. - Page 277 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact beginning in July 2004 the Orange County Fire Authority began contracting with the City of Huntington Beach to provide paramedic emergency medical services to Sunset Beach. The majority of the fire and emergency medical responses in Sunset Beach are provided by the City of Huntington Beach Fire Department. The Metro Cities Fire Authority reports that the City of Huntington Beach responded to 146 out of 184 calls in 2008 (79 percent)and 149 out of 182 calls in 2009(82 percent). According to LAFCO, of the 51 calls received by the Sunset Beach station in 2008 (a subset of the 184 total), Reserve Fire Firefighters were only able to respond with qualified reserves in two of those cases. The proposed project would not expose people to risks from wildland fires and there would be no associated impacts. The City of Huntington Beach has been able to adequately respond to calls for service in the area; however, as discussed in Section Vle. Transportation/Traffic, existing and proposed standards for some drive aisle width and street section configurations do not comply with standards currently required in the City of Huntington Beach. Because the City's Fire Department has been able to adequately respond in Sunset Beach with the existing standards, impacts will be less than significant relating to impairment of or physical interference with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. X. NOISE. Would the project result in: a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in ❑ ❑ ❑ excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? (Sources: #5, 13, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive: ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels? ❑ ❑ ❑ (Sources: #5, 13, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing ❑ ❑ ❑ without the project?(Sources: #5, 13, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? (Sources:#5, 13, ❑ ❑ ❑ Q 19) Discussion items a)through d): The project would not result in an increase in density or intensity of development or change the location of permitted uses from what is currently allowed in the County's Specific Plan. As such, the project would not result in a substantial permanent increase in noise levels, excess ground borne vibration or noise levels,and ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the proposed project. The proposed project will have no impacts in these areas.

(Sources: #5, 10, 19) Discussion: The City is located within the Airport Environs Land Use Plan(AELUP) for the Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos, but is not located within two miles of a public or private airport. The Sunset Beach area is located outside of the AELUP's area of concern. There are no noise impacts associated with the proposed annexation and planning entitlements for people residing or working in the area. i) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working ❑ ❑ ❑ in the project area to excessive noise levels? (Sources: # 5, 10, 19) Discussion: Sunset Beach is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip. XI.PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: a) Fire protection? (Sources: #l, 5, 19, 20) ❑ ❑ ® C1 Discussion: The Sunset Beach area is currently served by a volunteer(Reserve Fire Fighters)Fire company,located on Pacific Coast Highway; and,through a mutual aid agreement with the Orange County Fire Authority, by the City of Huntington Beach,which has a fire station approximately 800 feet from the Sunset Beach boundary on Warner Avenue,east of Pacific Coast Highway,and by the City of Seal Beach. In addition,beginning in July 2004 the Orange County Fire Authority began contracting with the City of Huntington Beach to provide paramedic emergency medical services to Sunset Beach. The majority of the fire and emergency medical responses in Sunset Beach are provided by the City of Huntington Beach Fire Department. The Metro Cities Fire Authority reports that the City of Huntington Beach responded to 146 out of 184 calls in 2008 (79 percent)and 149 out of 182 calls in 2009(82 percent). According to LAFCO,of the 51 calls received by the Sunset Beach station in 2008, Reserve Fire Firefighters were only able to respond with qualified reserves in two of those cases. With implementation of the proposed project,the City of Huntington Beach Fire Department will provide fire protection and emergency medical services to the area,though the mutual aid agreement will remain in effect. The City currently meets and would continue to meet the standard response times of three to five minutes using existing facilities,equipment, and personnel. The Specific Plan also requires that new development comply with the City's Fire Specifications. Based on the statistics above, is likely that the City's Department will experience an increase in calls for service with implementation of the project. The Department has indicated that it can provide such services to the Sunset Beach community without Page 22 -421- A Item 13. - Page 279, Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact impacting its ability to provide public safety services to the rest of Huntington Beach. Impacts of the proposed project would be less than significant. b) Police Protection? (Sources: #1, 5, 19) ❑ El El El Discussion: The Orange County Sheriff s Department and California Highway Patrol (CHP) currently serve the Sunset Beach community, with the City of Huntington Beach Police Department providing assistance as needed. The Sheriff s Department handles basic calls for service and the CHP handles traffic collisions within the area as Pacific Coast Highway is a State facility. For 2007 and 2008,the Sheriff's Department responded to an average of 4.6 calls per day(1,688 calls for service annually), and CHP responded to approximately 55 calls each year. Data for the City of Huntington Beach, for 2008 and 2009,indicate that the City Police Department provided agency assistance for a total of 40 calls, completed 20 traffic stops that resulted in a report, implying an arrest, and completed 202 traffic stops that did not result in a report for the Sunset Beach area. With implementation of the project, CHP would continue to respond to traffic collisions for Pacific Coast Highway. The City of Huntington Beach Police Department would provide law enforcement services. Based on the statistics above, the City's Department will experience an increase in calls for service with implementation of the project. The Department has indicated that it could provide such services to the Sunset Beach community without impacting its ability to provide public safety services to the rest of Huntington Beach. Impacts of the proposed project would be less than significant. c) Schools? (Sources: #1, 5, 19) Discussion: The proposed project involves the annexation of approximately 109 acres of land to the City of Huntington Beach and associated prezoning, general plan and local coastal program amendments. Current service providers include the Huntington Beach Union High School and the Ocean View School District and will not change with project implementation. The City's proposed Specific Plan does not change the density or intensity of currently allowed land uses. Therefore, implementation of the project will not result in any impact to schools. d) Parks? (Sources: #1, 5, 17, 19) ® ® El MR Discussion: The Sunset Beach area includes three public recreational facilities: the large beach, a linear park/parking facility and a small beach. The proposed project does not propose any construction or development, and the City's Specific Plan carries forward the County's land use plan and policies for the existing recreational facilities. The proposed general plan amendment and local coastal program amendment include updates to the General Plan Recreation and Community Services Element and Land Use Plan(Coastal Element), respectively,to provide a current inventory of recreational facilities in the City as well as add the facilities in Sunset Beach to the City's inventory. However, these text changes do not require nor would they result in physical impacts to any of the facilities. The City's Sunset Beach Specific Plan was developed to reflect the specific plan approved by Orange County and no increase in density or intensity of land use is proposed. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project will not result in any impacts to parks. Page 23 Item 13® o Page 280 -422- ATTACHMENT 4.d3_ ` Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact e) Other public facilities or governmental services? ❑ ❑ ❑ (Sources: #1,5, 19) Discussion: The Sunset Beach area represents a proportionately small addition to the City of Huntington Beach and will not result in the need for other public facilities or governmental services such that there would be the need for new governmental facilities that might result in impacts. The City can provide services to the area using its existing facilities and staff. Implementation of the project will not result in additional impacts in this area. XII. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project: a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the ❑ ❑ ❑ applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? (Sources: #1, 5, 17, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. b) Require or result in the construction of new water or ❑ _ ❑ ❑ wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities,the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? (Sources: # 1, 5, 17, 19) Discussion: See discussion below_ c) Require or result in the construction of new storm ❑ ❑ ❑ water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities,the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? (Sources: # 1,5, 17, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the ❑ ❑ ❑ project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? (Sources: #1, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment ❑ ❑ o a provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? (Sources:# 1, 5, 16, 19) Page 24 -423- A Rein 13. ® Page 281 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact Discussion a) through e): The City of Huntington Beach has provided domestic water to the Sunset Beach area since fiscal year 1964/65,when it purchased the Sunset Beach Water District. The Sunset Beach Sanitary District, formed in 1930, is responsible for the review and approval of the collection of wastewater within Sunset Beach. The City of Huntington Beach and the Orange County Public Works/Flood Control Section are the agencies responsible for the flood control system in the vicinity of Sunset Beach. The Orange County Sanitation District is responsible for wastewater treatment. Upon annexation, these same agencies will continue to provide water, sewer, wastewater and storm drain services to the Sunset Beach area. The City's proposed Specific Plan does not propose any change in density or intensity of land use nor propose any new infrastructure projects. The proposed project will not result in impacts associated with items a)through e)above. f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted ❑ ❑ ❑ capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? (Sources: # 1, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and ❑ ❑ ❑ 1 regulations related to solid waste? (Sources: #l, 5, 19) Discussion items f) & g): The project involves annexation of approximately 109 acres to the City of Huntington Beach and amendments to the General Plan and Local Coastal Program, including adoption of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan. The Sunset Beach Specific Plan was created to reflect the lands & Man approved by Orange County and the California Coastal Commission and will not change the cure �-_dy allowed density or intensity of development within the area. Consequently,the project will not result in impacts on landfill capacity and compliance with regulations pertaining to solid waste. h) Include a new or retrofitted storm water treatment control Best Management Practice(BMP), (e.g. water ❑ ❑ ❑ quality treatment basin,constructed treatment wetlands?) (Sources: # 5) Discussion: The project does not propose any development or change to the land uses currentl, : Moved by the County Specific Plan. As such the project will not result in impacts in this area. XIII.AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? ❑ ❑ ❑ X❑ (Sources: #1, 3, 5, 17, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but ❑ ❑ ❑ nX not limited to,trees,rock outcroppings,and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? (Sources: #1, 3, 5, 17, 19) Page 25 Item 13® ® Page 282 -424- ATTA ;H F- NO. 8.a5 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact Discussion: See discussion below. c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or ❑ ❑ ❑ MX quality of the site and its surroundings? (Sources: #1, 3, 5, 17, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views ❑ ❑ ❑ MX in the area? (Sources: #1, 3, 5, 17, 19) Discussion a)through d): Sunset Beach is adjacent to the Pacific Ocean and the existing County Specific Plan identifies seven scenic vista viewpoints along South Pacific Avenue, which provide views of the Ocean. In addition,the portion of Pacific Coast Highway located in the Sunset Beach Specific Plan area is designated as a scenic highway. The majority(99 percent)of the residential and commercial areas of Sunset Beach are developed: there are four undeveloped parcels, one of which is occupied by a billboard. The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan maintains the scenic vista viewpoints of the County's Specific Plan and carries forward the same protections and restrictions on uses to ensure that the scenic vista and associated viewpoints are not obscured. The proposed Specific Plan maintains the same development standards to regulate development within the Sunset Beach area. The Specific Plan does not change the location or intensity of permitted uses and does not propose any development; thus, implementation of the proposed project will not result in sources of light and glare beyond what is currently allowed nor damage scenic resources. The project will not result in any aesthetic impacts. CUI.7i'>rII2AL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑X of a historical resource as defined in 515064.5? (Sources: # 1, 3, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to 615064.5? ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑X (Sources: # 1, 3, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological ❑ ❑ ❑ resource or site unique geologic feature? (Sources: # 1, 3, 5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred ❑ ❑ ❑ outside of formal cemeteries? (Sources: # 1, 3, 5, 19) Page 26 -425- Item 13. - Page 283 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact Discussion items a)through d): There are no known cultural resources within the Sunset Beach Specific Plan area; however,there may be buildings greater than 45 years of age that may require further evaluation as a historic resource should demolition or significant alteration be proposed. The proposed project is annexation of Sunset Beach to the City of Huntington Beach and the adoption of amendments to the City of Huntington Beach general plan, local coastal program and zoning documents to establish land use and zoning regulations for the area. The proposed Specific Plan is consistent with the existing County of Orange Specific Plan. The City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program regulations afford the same protection to cultural resources, should they occur, as the County of Orange -regulations. The annexation and adoption of the planning entitlements will not result in impacts to cultural resources. XV. RECREATION. Would the project: a) Would the project increase the use of existing ❑ ❑ ❑ MX neighborhood,community and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? (Sources: #1, 3, 5, 17, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. b) Does the project include recreational facilities or ❑ ❑ ❑ EXI require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? (Sources: #1, 3, 5, 17, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. c) Affect existing recreational opportunities? ❑ ❑ ❑ Q (Sources:#1, 3, 5, 17, 19) Discussion items a) through c): The Sunset Beach Specific Plan area includes an approximate 33 acre public beach, 3.4 acre public channel/beach area and a 13 acre public parking and linear park facility with restrooms and a tot lot. There is also a community center owned and operated by the Sunset Beach Community Association. The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan is reflective of the existing conditions and carries forward the land use designations and regulations of the existing Specific Plan such that the existing recreational facilities are not affected. The proposed Specific Plan does not result in increased density or intensity of land use beyond what is currently allowed such that additional recreational amenities are required. The proposed general plan amendment and local coastal program amendment include updates to the General Plan Recreation and Community Services Element and Land Use Plan(Coastal Element),respectively,to provide a current inventory of recreational facilities in the City as well as add the facilities in Sunset Beach to the City's inventory. However,these text changes do not require nor would they result in impacts to any of the facilities. Therefore, implementation of the project will not result in any impacts on recreational issues.

AGRICULTURE RESOURCES. In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer tothe California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997)prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or ❑ ❑ ❑ El Farmland of Statewide Importance(Farmland),as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency,to non-agricultural use? (Sources: #5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below. b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑'_ Williamson Act contract? (Sources: #5, 19) Discussion: See discussion below c) Involve other changes in the existing environment ❑ ❑ ❑ 0 which,due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland,to non-agricultural use? (Sources: #5, 19) Discussion items a)through c): The proposed project will not convert farmland or conflict witli existing zoning for agricultural use. There are no agricultural uses in the subject area. Existing zoning permits residential,visitor serving commercial,public and open space uses. The proposed project would establish similar zoning for the area and,as such,no impacts would occur. XVII. GREENHOUSE CASE EMISSIONS. Would the project: a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions,either directly or ❑ ❑ El ❑ indirectly,that may have a significant impact on the environment?(Sources: #5, 18) Discussion: The California Energy Commission calculated that in 2004, California produced 492,000,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions. On an individual basis,a project generally would not generate enough GHG emissions to create a significant impact on global climate change. Given the small parcel size of properties in Sunset Beach, for example,the CO2 emissions that might be generated for a project developed pursuant to the County's existing or City's proposed Specific Plan would be negligible when compared to the overall contribution of the State's GHG emissions impacting global climate change. A project's potential impact would be its incremental contribution of GHG emissions when combined with all other GHG emission sources to cause significant cumulative impacts that could result in global climate change impacts. The project involves the annexation of a community that is 99 percent developed(four Page 28 _ -427- item.. .. 1.3. %aPage 285 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources)_ Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact vacant parcels with a combined total of less than one acre)and adoption of a Specific Plan that is consistent with the intent and land use density of the County's existing Specific Plan for the area, as well as associated general plan and local coastal program amendments. The project does not have potential to directly produce GHG emissions. However,there may be indirect constructional and operational emissions from projects developed pursuant to the Specific Plan. While there is no specific threshold of significance for GHG emissions, it is reasonable to apply the same requirements for criteria pollutants in that significance occurs when a project results in a cumulatively considerable net increase of GHG emissions. Therefore, since the project's direct contribution of COZ emissions is zero and indirect emissions would be negligible due to the developed nature of the community, parcel pattern and development standards in the Specific Plan, impacts from GHG emissions would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of GHG emissions and impacts would be less than significant. b) Conflict with an applicable plan,policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of El El El El greenhouse gases? (Sources: #5, 18) Discussion: The Sunset Beach community is located in unincorporated Orange County, governed by the County's General Plan. Existing and possible future development within the County is accounted for in the Air Quality Management Plan provided by SCAG. The City's proposed Specific Plan for Sunset Beach does not propose any increase in development that might be allowed beyond what might be realized under the County's Specific Plan. Additionally,the Specific Plan requires compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations. The proposed project would not conflict with applicable policies, plans or programs adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. XVIII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the 0 El El El quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? (Sources: #1, 3, 5, 19) Discussion: The proposed project does not propose any construction and represents the adoption of general plan, local coastal program and specific plan documents in association with the annexation of the developed community of Sunset Beach to the City of Huntington Beach. The City's proposed Specific Plan includes the provisions of the County's existing Specific Plan, as certified by the California Coastal Commission, for the area as they pertain to protection of the environmental considerations above. The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan will not create additional density or intensity of land use beyond what is currently allowed by the County's Specific Plan. Implementation of the proposed project will not result in any impacts in these areas. Page 29 Item 13. ® Page 286 -428- ATTACHMENT NO._ a Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ❑ ❑ ❑ MX ("Cumulatively considerable"means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects,and the effects of probable future projects.) (Sources:# 1, 3, 5, 19) Discussion: The proposed project involves annexation of approximately 109 acres to the City of Huntington Beach and adoption of general plan, local coastal program and zoning amendments, including the Sunset Beach Specific Plan.The Sunset Beach Specific Plan is reflective of the Specific Plan approved by Orange County and the California Coastal Commission. As such, the proposed project will not result in an additional density or intensity of land use beyond what is currently allowed. The project will not result in impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable. c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, ❑ ❑ FRI either directly or indirectly? (Sources:# 1, 3, 5, 19) Discussion: As discussed throughout the document,the project would result in no impacts for all issue areas with the exception of less than significant impacts for public services due to an increase in calls for service for fire and police services and land use,transportation/traffic and hazards and hazardous materia;s due to reduced standards for parking and some drive aisle widths-and street sections. The proposed project carries forward the intent of the County's existing Specific Plan, including the aforementioned de,0eprrent standards. Implementation of the project will not result a substantial increase in environmentai c,ffeus hat will cause adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.

Equestrian Trail System The City maintains approximately two miles of horse trails located in Huntington Central Park. A 25-acre privately developed and maintained equestrian center is available for public use. Riders also utilize trails in the residential area located south of Ellis Avenue between Edwards and Golden West Streets. The City's Trails Implementation Plan contains the adopted Equestrian Trails Plan which emphasizes equestrian use west of Golden West Street within Huntington Central Park and ultimately extends the trail system into the Bolsa Chica area. The Harriett M. Weider Regional Park is planned to provide pedestrian, equestrian, and bike trails connecting Central Park with Bolsa Chica State Beach (equestrians will not be able to access the beach from this trail). 9. Newland Douse The Newland House, located on a bluff near the northeastern corner of Beach Boulevard and Adams Avenue, is the former home of Huntington Beach pioneers William and Mary Newland. Built in 1898, the house and adjacent grounds were restored to preserve the site and are operated and maintained by the Historical Society through a lease agreement with the City. The site also contains public meeting space. For information on the historic significance of the site, please see the Historical Resources Section of the Technical Background Report. B. COASTAURECREATION FACILITIES 1. Municipal Pier The City of Huntington Beach Municipal Pier is located at the intersection of Main Street and the acix c Coast Highway and serves as the focal point of the City's downtown area. The pier's facilities include a lifeguard tower, observation and fishing platforms, bait and tackle stand, "end of the pier" restaurant, and temporary public restrooms. Future facilities will include a snack shop, permanent rest rooms,bait and tackle shop, and pier plaza. 2. Beaches Igarks Huntington Beach contains approximately nine 995 miles of shoreline, including the Bolsa Chica and Huntington State Beaches, operated by the California State Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Huntington City Beach and Sunset Beach,operated by the City. The City of Huntington Beach also operates a portion of Bolsa Chica State Beach from the Pier to Seapoint Street. The tree four beaches have an annual visitation rate of fift 11 million visitors. These beaches m, compass a total of approximately 380 408.8 acres and provide regional recreational opportu;uties for sunbathing,swimming,surfing,bodysurfing,and sand volleyball. Fire rings are also available for barbecues and evening campfires. Offshore clam beds and a variety of game fish also attract divers and surf fishermen to the Huntington Beach shoreline. A trail extends the length of this shoreline, allowing for bicycle riding, jogging and walking separated from vehicular traffic. The beaches have been the sites of many national and international surfing contests and are among the best surfing areas on the West Coast. Huntington Harbour contains four small beaches. Two beaches are located at the Huntington Harbour entrances to Davenport and Humboldt Islands and two beaches are adjacent to Trinidad and Seabridge parks. Sunset Beach contains one small beach at 11`h Street and Pacific Coast Hijzhway.

Recreational Vehicle(RV)Camping The Sunset Vista Camper Facility, located on Pacific Coast Highway in the Huntington City beach parking lot at Lake Street, is a City-operated recreational vehicle camping site offering 150 spaces from September 15 through May 31. In addition, the State Department of Parks and Recreation allocates 100 spaces for camping at the Bolsa Chica State Beach. The spaces are available year-round, with a maximum two-week stay. The City beach also offers a similar program for en route RV camping between June 1 and September 14. b. Huntington Harbour Huntington Harbour is a 680 860 -acre residential development oriented around a network of manmade channels located in the northwest corner of the City. The waterways provide significant opportunities for boating which is the major recreational use of the area. The City operates three boat slips for public use. Public access to the channels is provided in several areas where boats can be rented, such as the City-operated public boat ramp located adjacent to the Warner Fire Station at Warner Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. An additional boat ramp is located at the Sunset Aquatic Park in Seal Beach. The City also operates Percy Dock across the harbor from Warner Dock, the Percy Dock includes a parking lot and a dock but does not include a ramp.

NEEDS The City has set its park standard at five acres per 1,000 people. The 1990 census indiodes that the Ci y of u *' R �h' d do 1 Q 1 t,r, The City's population is 204,784, based on the ii=a'icsii b�vir�e^ S Yv�u .va. is Sri. , , January 2010 estimate from the State Department of Finance for Huntington Reach and an estimate of 1,300 for the Sunset Beach community. Based on the 4990 2010 population and the City's standard, the City should have a total of 907 1,02392 acres of parkland in 49W 2010. City parks encompass approximately 5-76 856.83 acres, includiny, the City-owned public golf course and the tree City beaches padEs encompass approximately 390 183.42 acres. Therefore, the City contains 956 1,040.25 acres of parkland, which exceeds the defined standard. Under the Quimby Act, in-lieu funds can be used for park renovation, acquisition, and development. Recreation programs are funded through service fees and by the general fund. - Many of the local school sites provide recreational amenities and facilities to the surrounding neighborhoods, including youth sports fields. Recent population trends and budget constraints have led to school closures. Some school districts have sold or are contemplating selling the closed school sites for residential or other development. Since the schools provide recreation sites, their closure and potential future development could remove the public recreational amenity from the neighborhood. The city of Huntington Beach should assess and determine the value of acquiring the sites or portion of the sites for public use. ISSUES 1. The impact of growth on recreation and park facilities needs to be assessed and accommodated - (RCS 2.1.1, RCS 3.1.1, RCS 3.1.5,and RCS 5.1.2). 2. Closed school facilities should be evaluated as to whether the need exists to utilize a portion of each site for a neighborhood park and/or youth services(RCS 1.1.7 and RCS 5.1.1). 3. Adequacy of recreation programs and available park acreage should be periodically assessed to ensure adequacy(RCS 1.1.2,RCS 2.1.1, RCS 2.1.4,and RCS 4.1.2). 4. Parks which feature areas of natural environment should be provided (RCS 1.1.2). 5. Adequate funding for park and beach maintenance and renovation should be maintained to ensure park usability(RCS 2.1.2,RCS 2.1.3,RCS 61.2, and RCS 7.1.1). 6. Quimby Act in-lieu fees and alternative funding methods for park development and renovation should be periodically evaluated(RCS 8.1.1 and RCS 8.1.6). 7. The City should assess the impact of increases in the population or demand for community center services and should plan accordingly(RCS 2.1.1 and RCS 3.1.1). 8. The aging of the general population and increases in the senior population will increase demand for senior services. The City should asess possibilities for building a new multi purpose Senior Center and incorporate the Outreach Center to meet increased demands (RCS 1.1.1, RCS 3.1.2, and RCS 3.1.5). 9. The City is required to devise an implementation plan addressing the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1992(RCS 1.1.1, RCS 3.1.6, and RCS 4.1.3). 10. All designated park lands need to be preserved with proper land use designation (RCS 2.1.1, RCS 3.1.3, and L U 7.1.1).

SERVICES CHAPTER UTILlTlES ELEMENT c. Water Storage The water storage system consists of Overmyer Reservoir and the Peck Reservoir, both located within the City. Peck Reservoir's capacity is 16 million gallons and Overmyer Reservoir has a capacity of 23 million gallons. The reservoirs store both groundwater and imported water. The reservoirs fill with water at night and empty during the day. Presently, the storage facilities are inadequate to serve the water demands of the City. Policies contained in the 1995 Water Master Plan will address these inadequacies. d. Water Booster Facilities Booster facilities pump water from reservoir storage into the water distribution system when normal water pressures are insufficient. At present, booster facilities are inadequate to maintain water pressure levels. Policies contained in the 1995 Water Master Plan will address these inadequacies. e. Water Distribution System The local distribution system consists of approximately 480 miles of water lines ranging in size from 2 to 42 inch diameter pipes. Huntington Beach has an emergency service agreement with the cities of Fountain Valley' Seal Beach, and Westminster to receive water during a disaster. The existing system is inadequate, but with policies contained in the 1995 Water Master Plan,these inadequacies will be addressed. 2. Improvements The 1995 Water Master Plan analyzes demands and impacts of surrounding communities such as Sunset Beach and Surfside on the City's system, as well as the anticipated impact of future developments such as the Bolsa Chica. The Huntington Beach's Water Department currently supplies or may supply water to - these areas. The Master Plan identifies the following improvements which the Water Department is in the process of requesting approval from the City Council to fund and construct: a. Three new underground water wells. b. 43 million gallons of water storage that has been designed but the site has yet to be determined. c. The City will participate in the Orange County Water District's Green Acres Project. The Green Acres Project is a treated reclaimed water project which will be used for landscape irrigation. The reclaimed water distribution line location will be determined by the Orange County Water District; anticipated start up date is 1997. B. SANITATION TREATMENT AND SEWERAGE fhe Sanitation Treatment and Sewerage services for the City of Huntington Beach are provided by Wive three entities: The Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD),and the City of Huntington Beach Public Works Department, Engineering Division and the Sunset Beach Sanitary District. Currently, 98 percent of the City is connected to the sewer system. The remaining two percent utilizes septic tanks and is scattered throughout the City. These areas are under no pressure to convert from septic tanks to the sewer system at this time. THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH G 691 �449- Item 13. ® Pale 307 INFRASTRUCTURE At- 'OMMUNITY SERVICES CHAPTER UTILITIES ELEMENT L Orange County Wastewater Treatment The two wastewater treatment plants serving the City of Huntington Beach perform primary and secondary treatment procedures. Plant#1 is designed to treat the wastewater generated by neighboring cities and the northern portion of the City. Operators in Plant#1 determine whether it has the capacity to treat the directed wastewater or if the wastewater should be transported to Plant#2. Plant#2 treats most of the City's sewage. The following table describes the characteristics of the two plants: Current Operating Ca acity Existing Operations Planned Improvements Plant#1 60 Primary MGD 50 Primary MGD Additional 60 60 Secondary MGD Primary MGD Plant#2 200 Primary MGD 170 Primary MGD None 95 Secondary MGD The OCSD has developed engineering plans for plant improvements anticipated to meet the needs of the City to the year 2050. Implementation of these plans is dependent on increased demands rather than a set time table. Many of these improvements will need to be implemented prior to the construction/occupancy of any planned large developments. At present,the OCSD has seen a 14 percent drop in wastewater treatment demand due to water conservation practices and City and County imposed regulations. However, the OCSD states that this trend ina}, be misleading and that it may be premature to determine future demand trends. 2. Existing Sewage Collection System The existing sewage collection system consists of major trunk lines, smaller feeder lines, and lift stations. The City's Public Works Department and the Sunset Beach Sanitary District is are responsible for the local level of service while the OCSD is responsible for the regional service. The OCSD's trunk lines connect local lines to the treatment plants. The major trunk lines flowing to treatment plants are constructed and designed to incorporate all the City's smaller outlet sewer lines. The sewage trunk lines are designed to not exceed 0.75 depth over diameter (D/D), the system is currently working at about 0.5 D/D. OCSD has no immediate plans for updating the existing lines other than She; normal replacement of deteriorating sewer lines and trunks. The OCSD also owns and operates three pump stations in the City. The pump stations help transp^ _ the. sewage through the system and onto the treatment plants. The Slater Pumping Station is presently s)t zez improved. This pumping station is instrumental for any future developments of Bolsa Chica and McDonnell-Douglas. The City of Huntington Beach and the Sunset Beach Sanitary District owns, operates,and maintains the smaller sewer lines that run from the households or businesses to the larger City and ®CSD owned sewer trunks.

That defined area is known as the "Coastal Zone." The Coastal Zone runs the length of the State's shoreline from its Oregon border south to the Mexican border. Huntington Beach is a shoreline community, a portion of which lies within the State's defined Coastal Zone. The City's Coastal Zone boundary runs from the northern City limit at Seal Beach, south torte approximateIV 9.5 miles to the Santa Ana River at the Huntington Beach/Newport Beach boundary. It extends inland from the mean high tide line from 1,000 yards to over one mile in some areas. The Huntington Beach Coastal Zone encompasses approximately five 5_2 square miles of land and water, or about seventeen 19 percent of the total area of the City. The Huntington Beach Coastal Zone boundary is shown in Figure C-2. The Huntington Beach Coastal Zone includes a wide variety of land uses. Open shoreline, parks and recreational facilities, habitat areas, residential, commercial and industrial uses,as well as, energy and oil extraction facilities currently exist in the Coastal Zone. At the north end of the Coastal Zone is Huntington Harbour, a man-made residential marina with commercial centers -u-6 residences oriented toward the waterways, and the community of Sunset Beach, a primarily residential area with an expansive beach and a variety of commercial uses. South of Huntington Harbour and Sunset Beach is the Bolsa Chica area which is presently undeveloped and unincorporated, but lies within the City's Sphere of Influence fur potential future annexation. Further south,and adjacent to the Bolsa Chica, is a large undeveloped area of land, part of which is presently in oil production. The Seacliff residential development and golf course lie to the north_ Next is the City's downtown area, which over the last ten years has been transformed through re-development into the primary activity node in the City for both residents and visitors. The downtown area includes, among other things,the Municipal Pier and Plaza,destination fiesoYt facilities, and a wide variety of visitor serving amenities and activities. At the south end of the Coastal Zone,a major electrical power plant dominates the surrounding shoreline,while nearby,a large sewage treatment facility processes waste from throughout the County. These facilities are near restored coastal wetlands that serve as habitats for numerous wildlife species, including the endangered California least tern and Belding's savanna sparrow. The following paragraphs describe, in more detail,the City's Coastal Zone; its existing land uses, proposed land use plan and coastal resources. For purposes of discussion,the Coastal Zone is divided into sub-zones. Figure C-4 depicts the Coastal Zone and its five sub-areas. Figures C-5 through C-9 depict individual sub-areas and proposed land uses. Land use category definitions and listings of permitted uses and densities per Iand use category are provided in'fable C-1. Section 4 provides an overview of the issues that must be addressed in the Coastal Zone to comply with Coastal Act policy. Section 5 provides specific policies that the City will follow in order to preserve and enhance its coastal resources and amenities, and Section 6 provides an overview of implementation actions and regulations to carry out the policies.

Commercial Parking Much emphasis has been placed on providing adequate parking for commercial facilities in the Coastal Zone to ensure that commercial parking demands do not negatively impact recreati,!:a1 beach user parking. This issue was especially significant when planning for the re-development of the City's Downtown area into a dense node of visitor serving commercial facilities. The unique parking issues of the Downtown area have been resolved through the developmeras.and implementation of the Downtown Huntington Beach Parking Master Plan(see Technical Appendix). The Downtown Huntington Beach Parking Master Plan was adopted in 1993 and. provides for shared parking facilities including on-street parking, lots and nearby municipal parking structures. Annual reports and modifications of the Master Plan, if needed,will serve to ensure that adequate parking facilities are provided for existing and planned commercial uses in the Downtown area. Other commercial areas within the City's Coastal Zone,but outside ih downtown area,meet their parking needs through implementation of the City's Zoning THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN Iv-C-54 ATTA CHMEN N ,� . w Item 13. - Page 318 -460- - COASTAL ELEMENT Direct Access The City's Rine approximately 9.5 miles of shoreline(including the residential co-op located on the west side of the Pier which is on land leased from the State)are under public ownership and are designated for public recreational use. Consequently,opportunities for direct physical access to the shoreline are excellent. Direct pedestrian access to the shoreline is provided at several intervals along the entire length of the Coastal Zone, including a new shoreline access(a stairway and a handicap access ramp) constructed at Seapoint Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway near the planned Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park. Access to the Huntington Harbour waterways is somewhat limited due to the residential nature of the surrounding area, but could be enhanced through increased public awareness of existing access points. Additional access points may be provided through re- development or when existing uses are improved. Access to the shoreline in Sunset Beach is excellent: there are 27 street-end locations through the residential areas located every 200 feet along the approximately one mile long beach frontage. THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN IV-C-56 -461- Item�;a13. Page 31 COASTAL ELEMENT Public Recreational and Visitor Serving Commercial Facilities Public Recreational Resources Coastal Act policy promotes the protection of coastal resources white accommodating public demand for such resources. Further,Coastal Act policy promotes the protection of recreational and lodging opportunities for low and moderate income persons. Huntington Beach is known internationally for its temperate climate,excellent surfing beaches, and plentiful recreational amenities and opportunities. Consequently, millions of visitors are attracted to the City's shoreline each year(an estimated 9.6 million in 1998). As the general population grows,the demand for year round recreational resources along the coastline will also grow. Coastal Element policy recognizes the City's responsibility to balance the need to provide adequate recreational facilities to serve the greater than local community, while protecting the resources and character of its Coastal Zone. An overview of Huntington Beach's most significant recreational resources is described below. Figure C-16 identifies the location of these resources. Beaches The City's Coastal Zone contains over nine 9.5 linear miles of sandy beach shoreline area encompassing approximately 3W 409 acres. The three four beaches in Huntington Beach are Bolsa Chica State Beach and Huntington State Beach, which are operated by the State Department of Parks and Recreation,and Huntington City Beach and Sunset Beach which ns are operated by the City. Sunset Beach includes approximately 1 mile of shoreline between the City of Seal Beach and Bolsa Chica State Beach. Bolsa Chica State Beach includes six slightly more than five miles of shoreline between Warner Avenue and the Municipal Pier. Huntington City Beach includes approximately one mile of shoreline between the Municipal Pier and Beach Boulevard. Huntington State Beach consists of the two mile shoreline area between Beach Boulevard south to the Santa Ana River. All of the beach area is in public ownership. The entire beach area is designated as open space in the Coastal Element Land Use Map. Recreational opportunities at the City's beaches are extensive and include activities such as sunbathing, swimming, surfing,bodysurfing,sand volleyball,skin and scuba diving. Huntington Beach is known as one of the best surfing areas on the west coast and has hosted numerous national and international surfing contests. Its renowned surf is a result of the shoreline's long, gradually sloped beach gradient and location in relation to ocean swells. Fire rings are provided for barbecues and evening camp-fires. Offshore clam beds and a variety of game fish attract divers and surf fisherman to the Huntington Beach shoreline. In addition,the Coastal Bikeway, a regional Class I Bikeway, extends the length of the shoreline in Huntington Beach(it continues south to Newport Beach and north to Seal Beach). This paved bikeway provides for bicycle riding,jogging,roller blading,walking and similar activities separated from vehicular traffic. Proposed improvements include widening the existing Coastal Bikeway within Huntington Beach from its existing average width of 12 to 15 feet to twenty feet. There are five small beaches in the Huntington Harbour and Sunset Beach areas. The beaches range in size from one-fifth to three quarters of an acre. Non- traiierable boats may be launched from these beaches and some are used for sunbathing, swimming and general beach recreation. THE CITY OF HUNI'INGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN Item 13. - Page 320 -462- �3 F COASTAL ELEMENT Municipal Pier and Plaza The City's Municipal Pier is located at the intersection of Main Street and Pacific Coast Highway and serves as the focal point of the City's Coastal Zone. The Pier,which was re-built and opened in 1992, is 1,856 feet long, 30 feet wide and 38 feet above the mean low water level. It is constructed of reinforced concrete. It includes a variety of visitor serving and recreational amenities, including a restaurant,community access booth, lifeguard tower and observation and recreational fishing platforms. Visitors can use the Pier to sight see,stroll,fish and dine. Coastal Element policy, among other things,limits building heights on the pier to a maximum of 2 stories/35 feet. Coastal Element policy also requires that public access around the entire perimeter of the pier be maintained. Proposed enhancements to the Pier include a funicular/trolley system to transport pedestrians from the Plaza area to the end of the Pier and back. The Main Pier Plaza has more than eight acres of public space located at the base of the Municipal Pier on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway,between First and Seventh Streets. The public plaza includes a palm court, a 230 seat amphitheater,a spectator area,accessways to the beach and lawn,restrooms and concessions,bicycle parking facilities and automobile parking. Pier Plaza was designed as a community focal area where public speaking forums, surfing competitions, foot races,outdoor concerts and similar events are held. Parks Other than the sandy shoreline area itself,existing parks in the Coastal Zone include those listed in Table C-4 below and depicted in Figure C-16.

The present conceptual plan for the park is to link parks from inland cities to the coastline via the Santa Ana River trail. The Orange Coast River Park is proposed to extend north from the Santa Ana River, in Huntington Beach,along the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway to Beach Boulevard. Feasibility studies for the park concept are now underway. Coastal Element policy supports and promotes the maintenance and preservation of existing parks, the development of the planned Harriett M. Wieder Regional Park,and further study of the feasibility of the proposed Orange Coast River park. Recreational Vehicle Camping The Sunset Vista Camper Facility,located on Pacific Coast Highway in the Huntington City Beach parking lot at First Street,is a City-operated recreational vehicle camping site offering 150 spaces from September 15 through May 31 annually. The facility allows camping immediately adjacent to the beach sand area. In addition,the State Department of Parks and Recreation allocates 50 spaces for enroute overnight camping at both Huntington State Beach and Bolsa Chica State Beach. Campers pay a nominal fee per night and are required to check in after 8:00 p.m. and leave by 9:00 the following morning. The RV spaces made available under this program are for year-round use. The City Beach also offers a similar program for enroute RV camping between June l and September 14, annually. Coastal Element policy promotes the preservation of these opportunities and exl;ansil'.Iti of the camping program at the State beaches to mirror the overnight program permitted at the t:iiy beach parking lot_ Trails and Bikeways The City boasts an extensive trail system that can be used by bicyclists,roller bladers,joggers and strollers. The Coastal Zone includes a Class I trail that runs the entire length of the Coastal Zone and is linked to regional bikeways. It also includes several east west bikeways that access the City's Coastal Zone,and a major trail along the Santa Ana River. In addition,the County has plans for a future riding and hiking trail that will extend from the existing riding and hiking trail system in Central Park, which is just outside the City's Coastal Zone boundary,along the proposed Harriett M.Wieder Regional Park to points near the shoreline. The County's Master Plan of Regional Riding and Hiking Trails identifies two regional trails within the City's Coastal Zone:the Santa Ana River Trail and the Huntington Beach Trail. The Commuter Bikeway Strategic Plan(the regional bikeways plan for Orange County)identifies three regional Class I bikeways within the Coastal Zone: the Santa Ana River Bikeway, Wintersburg Channel Bikeway and the Coastal Bikeway. (Figure C-14.) Golf Courses There is one private(no public)golf course in the City's Coastal Zone: Seacliff Country Club. R is an eighteen hole course located on Palm Avenue,west of Goldenwest Street. Huntington Harbour Huntington Harbour is an 860 acre residential development oriented around a network of manmade channels located in the northwest corner of the City. The channel system covers a surface area of 225 acres and houses approximately 2,300 mostly private boat slips. The waterways,which are available for public use,provide significant opportunities for boating. Access to the channels is provided in several areas where boats and boat slips may be rented,and by the City operated boat ramps(Percy Dock and Warner Dock)located near the Warner Avenue THE CITY OF MJNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN IV-C-62 Item 13® ® Page 324 - .�� CT � COASTAL ELEMENT Fire Station. The Percy Dock also provides City operated parking. An additional boat ramp, French Dock, that can accommodate large boats is available at the Sunset Aquatic Regional Park immediately north of Huntington Harbour within the City of Seal Beach.The entrance to the Huntington Harbour channels is located at the northwest end of the harbor and passes under a bridge at Pacific Coast Highway. Some of the recreational opportunities in Huntington Harbour are private,accessible only to Harbour residents. However,a number of public recreation areas are available. Trinidad Island includes a 2.7 acre greenbelt park(Conrad Park) with a bicycle/pedestrian path,two small vista parks, a fishing dock and a walkway around half the island. A 44 3!9 acre City neighborhood park is also located on Seabridge Peninsula. The Harbour area also includes three small beaches and parks accessible to the public. The developed status of Huntington Harbour dictates the current state of public access in the area. In the event that new development,or significant redevelopment, fronting a channel area does occur,the City's Coastal Element policy requires that adequate public access to the waterways be provided. Sunset Beach Sunset Beach is a 109 acre community that extends approximately one mile-from Seal Beach at the northwest to Bolsa Chica State Beach at the southeast. It is comprised primarily of public land uses including right-of-way. Only 31 acres of the community are developed with private residential and commercial uses. The majority of the community is located seaward of Pacific Coast Highway and is characterized by the open sandy beach and combination linear park and public parking facility. This facility contains a tot lot,walking path,five public restroom buildings and 660 public parking spaces. Access to the beach is provided at 27 street-end locations,through the residential areas,located every 200 feet along the beach frontage. The inland portion of Sunset Beach includes Sunset Channel,which is connected with the Huntington Harbour channel system, anti 11th Street beach, where small boats such as kayaks and canoes may be launched. Boating Facilities Boating facilities in Huntington Beach are primarily provided in Huntington Harbour. Development of a second marina in the City's Coastal Zone is limited by a lack of appropriate sites. Boat storage is provided within the Huntington Harbour Marina and in off-site dry storage areas. City policy allows for boat storage on private residential property if properly screened and accommodated,as well as within industrially zoned areas. THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN -467- A Item 13. ® Page 325 COASTAL ELEMENT Visitor-Serving Commercial Facilities The City's Coastal Zone is host to millions of visitors each year. The Coastal Act places a high priority on land uses and facilities that serve the needs of these visitors. Visitor-serving facilities include public and private developments that provide accommodations, food,entertainment and services. The City's Coastal Land Use-Plan defines activity nodes where visitor serving uses are concentrated. The use of concentrated nodes allows the City to capitalize on shared facilities and minimize impacts to more sensitive resource areas in the Coastal Zone. The most concentrated area of visitor serving uses is within the Downtown area near the Municipal Pier, .Significant visitor serving facilities within the Coastal Zone are briefly described below. Huntington Harbour/Sunset Beach The Huntington Harbour and Sunset Beach areas includes commercial uses to serve residents and visitors. Visitor serving commercial uses include hotels,motels,restaurants, retail shops, entertainment and private recreational facilities such as the Huntington Harbour Yacht Club and a fitness/racquet club. Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Blaster Plan Area The Seacliff Promenade Conceptual Master Plan Area is bounded by Pacific Coast Highway to the south,Palm Avenue to the north, Seapoint Avenue to the west and Goldenwest Street to the east. The planning area comprises approximately 150 acres and is presently under the ow.lersAlip of PLC Properties and Aera Properties. PLC Properties owns the 56 acre parcel located at the northeastern section of the site. Aera owns the remaining 94 acre portion which fronts Pacific Coast Highway. At this time,the site represents one of the largest, undeveloped contiguous areas in the Huntington Beach Coastal Zone. The planning area is designated in the Coastal Element Land Use Map as Mixed Use-Horizontally Integrated Housing(MH-F2/30(Avg. 15)-sp), which permits residential,visitor serving commercial and open space uses. A specific plan or plans, as well as,a"conceptual master plan of development",consistent with the Coastal Element Land Use Map,are required before any development may be approved on the site. Per the site's Coastal Element Land Use Map designation, commercial uses will be limited to those permitted by the Commercial Visitor land use category. (See Table C-1,Coastal Element Land Use Plan Land Use,Density and Overlay Schedule,and Table C-2,Community District and Subarea Schedule). The amount and precise location of commercial land that will be included within this planning area will be determined through the conceptual master plan and specific plan preparation and adoption processes. The required master and specific plans are subject to Coastal Commission approval which would be submitted to the Coastal Commission as an LCP amendment that would take effect upon Commission certification. Both are consistent with Coastal Act and adopted City policy noted in this Coastal Element. Pursuant to the adopted Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan, it is anticipated that the 94 acre Aera property,which fronts Pacific Coast Highway,will house visitor-serving commercial,open space and recreational/civic uses such as a public museum,with visitor-serving commercial uses having preference. This property is presently used for oil production and is expected to maintain its existing oil activities for the next 15 to 20 years.The 56 acres located in the northeast portion of the planning area and owned by PLC Properties, is approved for up to 315 dwelling units. THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH GENERAL PLAN N-C-64 Ste 13. a Page 326 -468- ������ -HWN � •�`� COASTAL ELEMENT While supply does not appear to be an issue, studies reveal an inadequacy in the amount of emergency and reserve storage and booster pumping capacity for present day and future demands. The City's water storage system consists of the Overmyer Reservoirs Nos. 1,2 and 3 and the Peck Reservoir. All are located within the City, but outside of the Coastal Zone. The Peck Reservoir capacity is 16 million gallons and the Overmyer Reservoirs' combined capacity is 24 million gallons. The reservoirs serve as regulating reservoirs for peak demands and provide storage for planned outages and emergencies. The reservoirs generally fill with water during nighttime low demand periods with imported MWD water or groundwater and drain during the daytime high demand periods. Booster pumping facilities pump water from the reservoir storage into the water distribution system to maintain adequate supply during peak periods to supplement groundwater and MWD water supplies. Improvements to increase the City's water storage capacity will be achieved with the addition of new reservoirs and increased capacity at existing reservoirs. A new Ellis-Edwards Reservoir with a nine million gallon capacity,and a nine million-gallon expansion next to the Peck Reservoir are currently under construction,and an expansion of the Talbert Valley Reservoir site is under consideration. Other new reservoir sites are under investigation, including potential sites within the Coastal Zone. Booster pumping capacity will also be expanded as appropriate,with the new expanded storage. In addition,data acquisition and control systems for water storage will be modernized to allow for enhanced monitoring and control capabilities under both normal operations and emergencies. The City's water distribution system consists of over 480 miles of water lines ranging in size from 2 to 42 inches in diameter. Improvements in the piping system are implemented as older deteriorated or undersized pipes are replaced. This will eliminate flow restrictions and help to accommodate future demands. Coastal Element policy mirrors General Plan policy by calling for an adopted Water Master Plan to be implemented to address identified water storage, booster and distribution system deficiencies. Sanitation Treatment and Sewerage Sanitation Treatment and Sewerage services are provided by the Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD)2 and the City of Huntington Beach Public Works Department-,Engineering Division and the Sunset Beach Sanitary District. Two OCSD treatment plants serve Huntington Beach. Plant No. 1 treats wastewater generated by other cities and the northern portion of Huntington Beach. Plant No.2 treats the remainder of the City's sewage. The OCSD has developed improvement plans for the plants to serve the needs of the City through the year 2050. This includes buildout of the City's Coastal Land Use Map. The existing sewage collection system consists of major trunk lines,smaller feeder lines,and lift stations. The City's Public Works Department and the Sunset Beach Sanitary District is are responsible for the local level of service while the OCSD is responsible for the regional service. Deficiencies in the City's pipeline and pump station system have been identified through recent studies. The Coastal Zone,specifically the older Downtown area, includes sewage facilities that are dated and in need of maintenance,repair and/or upgrade. In addition,there are numerous sewer lift stations in the City that are in need of repair and/or replacement. Many of these facilities are in the Coastal Zone. The City has identified the deficiencies and has plans in place to correct them. Coastal Element policy mirrors General Plan policy by calling for master plans and capital improvement programs to ensure adequate sewage facilities to meet the demands of permitted development.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project involves five components: 1)annexation application to Orange County Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO)to annex the Sunset Beach area to the City of Huntington Beach; 2) general plan amendment to establish City general plan designations for the area and make text changes referencing Sunset Beach, 3)adoption of the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan,4)zoning map amendment to establish the proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan as the new zoning for the area,and 5) local coastal program amendment to establish land use plan designations, make text changes referencing Sunset Beach and to reflect the Specific Plan and zoning for the area per items 3)and 4). Future references in this document to "the project"refer to all five proposed actions: annexation, general plan amendment, adoption of the Specific Plan, zoning map amendment and local coastal program amendment. Annexation The City is proposing to annex the approximately-pA9-134 acre Sunset Beach area located in the jurisdiction of the County of Orange. The annexation process is initiated by resolution by the City of Huntington Beach City Council. General Plan Amendment The second component of the proposed project involves establishing City General Plan designations for the annexation area. The project would amend the General Plan Land Use Map (Figure LU-5) to establish General Plan land use designations for the Sunset Beach area as follows - approximately 22.3 acres for Residential High Density-30, 9.2 acres for Visitor Serving Commercial-Mixed Use Overlay, 13.0 acres for Public, 3.4 acres for Open Space-Water Recreation and 33-a57.7 acres for Open Space-Shoreline. The remainder of the area is right-of-way. The entire area would also have a Specific Plan Overlay. The proposed City of Huntington Beach General Plan land use designations mirror those of the existing County of Orange Land Use Plan for Sunset Beach. The General Plan Amendment would designate the Sunset Beach area as Subarea 4L on the Community District and Subarea Schedule (Figure LU-6 and Table LU- 4) and would amend Table LU-3 to add a reference to "specific plans" for the Mixed Use Overlay. In addition, the General Plan Amendment would update figures to reflect the change in the City's boundary, would make minor wording changes to the Utilities Element and would update the Recreation and Community Services Element to reflect update recreational amenity information. Prezoning(Zoning Text Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment) The third and fourth components of the project involve adoption of a specific plan(zoning text amendment) and change to the zoning map for the annexation area in accordance with LAFCO procedures. LAFCO requires that the City establish site zoning before annexation is approved by LAFCO. The Zoning Text Amendment application is a request to create the Sunset Beach Specific Plan that will provide development standards for the Specific Plan area. The Specific Plan has been prepared to be consistent with the intent of the existing County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan and will not result in an increase in the density or intensity of land use beyond what is set forth in the County's Specific Plan. The Zoning Map Amendment request would amend the City Zoning Map to establish the Specific Plan zoning for the area. The total acreage of the Specific Plan area is as follows (refer to Exhibit I for locations): General Plan Designation/Specific Plan District Residential High Density/Sunset Beach Residential: 22.32 acres Commercial Visitor/Sunset Beach Tourist: 9.16 Public/Sunset Beach Parking 13.00 Open Space Waterway/Sunset Beach Waterway 3.40 Open Space Shoreline/Sunset Beach Beach 33.1757.74 Right of Way/Right of Wad_ 28.26 Total: 199.31133.88 GAENVIRONKCHECKLST Page 2 Item 13. - Page 33 -472- ,hxr & �, �. a.R� m z 0 z CD Ok- CD ITIM CD aim 1, t PadfiC Goast Hwy' , Pacific -Coast Hvr . hum MEW NORM C CD W 1 � Ob CD W LEGEND / s6R Sunset Beach Residential-22.32 Acres Parcels CD C Sunset.Beach Tourist-9.16Acres Huntington Beach Smindary ou Sunset Beach Waterways-140Acres Sunset Beach BoundaryCD Sunset Beach Parking Facility-13.00Acres Sunset Beach Beach Area-33.17 Acres r° C M®o6zSw4 ti�aae CD w� CD iy m ' Exhibit 3.1 Specific Plan districts w = Pik z ® O S r r {\` t,4a: a?�.`JS---:'....� ,.,.. .,,✓".r a ,,.i�q y. mow„ •...r`'�.am]r"�;� 1 '".; f �� m - lei 1 �`^;,rq,, • ; �. w� ti �Q A 0 LEGEND Surse Beach Rmdutal-22'M'A mm Panums Sunsd Beit-ckr 7burist-R,16:Acre Ri got:6lf ways Sunset.Reach PwWng Faeif itw-m.wA s, Run tngfon,Bea¢ir Boundary Sunset Reach Beach Area-57Z4,Acrev Sunset Bewh,E3owdary �r.

LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project: a) Conflict with any applicable land use plan,policy, or El El MX M regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project(including,but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance)adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? (Sources: #1,2, 3, 5, 6, 17) (Discussion: The proposed annexation,general plan amendment, local coastal program amendment and prezoning for the Sunset Beach area will not result in a conflict with any applicable land use plan,policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project(including,but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. The proposed annexation is within the City's sphere of influence and is contiguous with the City boundary on the east and south. The proposed project is a logical and orderly extension of the City's boundaries and services. The area is almost entirely built out and is a physical extension of the City, and the City currently provides various services to the area as discussed in Issue areas Public Services and Utilities/Service Systems below. The existing development pattern and uses are compatible with existing development in the City on the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway, consisting of similar higher density residential,visitor serving commercial and open space-water recreation uses. The ocean side of the annexation area is dominated by beach, public parking,the greenbelt(linear park wisitor serving commercial uses and high density residential uses. These uses are consistent with existing uses within the City's coastal area and do not require the creation of new land use designations. As such,the proposed project is consistent with General Plan Land Use Element goal LU 3 and related policies LU 3.1.1 and 3.2.1 relating to annexation as follows: "Achieve the logical,orderly, and beneficial expansion of the City's services and jurisdictional limits."(Goal LU 3) "Require that any lands proposed for annexation are contiguous with the City." (Policy LU 3.1.1) "Require that the existing and future land uses located within the proposed annexation area are compatible with the adjacent City uses." (Policy LU 3.1.2) The proposed project is consistent with the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan goal C 1,which requires that the City"develop a land use plan for the Coastal Zone that protects and enhances coastal resources, promotes public access and balances development with facility needs"and with policy C 1.1.8,which lists five considerations that the City should evaluate when evaluating annexations including the land use goal and policies provided above. The proposed Specific Plan and Land Use Plan do not change the land use goals for the area,maintain the existing access points and do not create any service or facility needs in comparison with the existing County Local Coastal Program for Sunset Beach as approved by the California Coastal Commission. GAENVIROWCHECKLST Page 8 -475- r Item 13. m Page 333 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact The proposed prezoning of Sunset Beach with the Sunset Beach Specific Plan is consistent with the City's Zoning Code in that it meets the findings required in Section 215.12 of the City of Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. The project meets the findings required for approval of a Specific Plan as follows: "The Specific Plan is consistent with the adopted Land Use Element of the General Plan and, if in the coastal zone,with the certified Local Coastal Land Use Plan,and other applicable policies and is compatible with the surrounding development." The proposed Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan and Local Coastal Program as described above and is consistent with the surrounding residential,commercial and open space development in that it designates the area for residential,visitor serving commercial,public and open space uses. The proposed Specific Plan has been developed to be consistent with the existing County Sunset Beach Specific Plan and does not propose changes to the permitted uses. "The Specific Plan will enhance the potential for superior urban design in comparison with the development under the base district provisions that would apply if the Plan were not adopted." The Sunset Beach Specific Plan reflects the unique character of Sunset Beach with its smaller lot_ sizes and extensive areas for public recreation and parking. It carries forward the County's development standards in term of height, setbacks,parking and density to ensure that development occurring after approval of the annexation and other entitlements will be consistent with the quality of existing development within the Specific Plan area. "Deviations from the base district provisions that otherwise would apply are justified by compensating benefits of the Specific Plan." The Sunset Beach Specific Plan contains regulations, for setbacks and parking among others,that are less restrictive than those of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. These are in recognition of existing conditions and the County's Specific Plan regulations. These regulations allow for the provision of substantial public/open space facilities including the 13 acre greenbelt klinear park)/public parking area that provide a direct benefit to the community and general public. "The Specific Plan includes adequate provisions for utilities, services, and emergency vehicle access; and public services demands will not exceed the capacity of existing and planned systems." The Specific Plan contains provisions for the adequate provision of all utilities, services and emergency access to the project area. There are no changes to the existing development standards such that an unanticipated development intensity would occur.

(Sources: #2, ❑ ❑ ® ❑ 5, 19) Discussion: The proposed project does not propose any development but includes the adoption of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan that provides parking standards for future development. The Specific Plan reflects the County's Sunset Beach Specific Plan parking standards. The parking requirements for various uses are less than those of the City of Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, and there is discussion in the County's Plan regarding parking issues as they relate to distribution. However,due to the compact,pedestrian-oriented character of Sunset Beach,parking is routinely shared. For example,the linear park/parking facility contains 669-624 public parking spaces that are regularly used by business patrons, employees,residents and visitors. In addition,most streets have on-street parking on at least one side. The sizeable amount of public parking in Sunset Beach given its compact size has helped to offset limited on-site parking for much of the community. The concept of shared parking is recognized as a reasonable way to allow for reduced parking requirements for individual uses. For example, shared parking is an integral component of the City of Huntington Beach downtown area,which has similarities with Sunset Beach in terms of the combined residential and tourist-oriented development pattern, pedestrian focus and small parcel sizes. Therefore,potential impacts related to parking capacity are expected to be less than significant. g) Conflict with adopted policies,plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle,or pedestrian ❑ ❑ ❑ facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities? (Sources: # 1, 3, 19) Discussion: See discussion VIa-b. In addition, the City's proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan includes requirements for bicycle parking consistent with the City of Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. These requirements would apply to new development and would improve the availability of bicycle facilities in the area. The proposed Specific Plan also maintains the existing pedestrian access points to the beach and designates the walking path in the linear park as a public facility, consistent with the County's existing plan. The proposed project would not conflict with adopted plans, etc. related to public transit,bicycle or pedestrian facilities and no impacts would result. VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or ❑ ❑ ❑ through habitat modifications,on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans,policies, or regulations,or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service?

(Sources: 45, 10, 19) Discussion: The City is located within the Airport Environs Land Use Plan(AELUP) for the Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos, but is not located within two miles of a public or private airport. The Sunset Beach area is located outside of the AELUP's area of concern. There are no noise impacts associated with the proposed annexation and planning entitlements for people residing or working in the area. i) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working ❑ ❑ ❑ in the project area to excessive noise levels? (Sources: #5, 10, 19) Discussion: Sunset Beach is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip. XI.PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities,the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: a) Fire protection? (Sources: #1, 5, 19, 20) ❑ ❑ ® ❑ Discussion: The Sunset Beach area is currently served by a volunteer(Reserve Fire Fighters)Fire company, located on Pacific Coast Highway; and, through a mutual aid agreement with the Orange County Fire Authority, by the City of Huntington Beach,which has a fire station approximately 800 feet from the Sunset Beach boundary on Warner Avenue,east of Pacific Coast Highway, and by the City of Seal Beach. In addition,beginning in July 2004 the Orange County Fire Authority began contracting with the City of Huntington Beach to provide paramedic emergency medical services to Sunset Beach. The majority of the fire and emergency medical responses in Sunset Beach are provided by the City of Huntington Beach Fire Department. The Metro Cities Fire Authority reports that the City of Huntington Beach responded to 146 out of 184 calls in 2008 (79 percent)and 149 out of 182 calls in 2009(82 percent). According to LAFCO,of the 51 calls received by the Sunset Beach station in 2008, Reserve Fire Firefighters were only able to respond with qualified reserves in two of those cases. With implementation of the proposed project,the City of Huntington Beach Fire Department will provide fire protection and emergency medical services to the area,though the mutual aid agreement will remain in effect. The City currently fnee*s and would eanti *maintains the goal of a standaf4-response GAENVIROWCHECKLST Page 23 Item 13. ® Page 336 -478- Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant ISSUES (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact times of t#ree4ewithin five minutes 80 percent of the time using existing facilities, equipment,and personnel. The Specific Plan also requires that new development comply with the City's Fire Specifications,with the exception of some drive aisle widths and street sections. Based on the statistics above, is likely that the City's Department will experience an increase in calls for service with implementation of the project. The Department has indicated that it can provide such services to the Sunset Beach community without impacting its ability to provide public safety services to the rest of Huntington Beach. Impacts of the proposed project would be less than significant. b) Police Protection? (Sources: #1, 5, 19) [] El FRI El Discussion: The Orange County Sheriff's Department and California Highway Patrol (CHP)currently serve the Sunset Beach community,with the City of Huntington Beach Police Department providing assistance as needed. The Sheriff's Department handles basic calls for service and the CHP handles traffic collisions within the area as Pacific Coast Highway is a State facility. For 2007 and 2008,the Sheriff's Department responded to an average of 4.6 calls per day(1,688 calls for service annually), and CHP responded to approximately 55 calls each year. Data for the City-of Huntington Beach, for 2008 and 2009,indicate that the City Police Department provided agency assistance for a total of 40 calls, completed 20 traffic stops that resulted in a report, implying an arrest, and completed 202 traffic stops that did not result in a report for the Sunset Beach area. With implementation of the project; run would,.,,,,roue t r-es-p nd to traffic collisions f,.D,pi.r- Coast Highway. The the City of Huntington Beach Police Department would provide law enforcement services. The Sunset Beach area will become part of"Beat" 10 with an officer assigned to patrol the beat 24 hours a day,seven days a week. In 2009, the Police Department responded to approximately 7,000 calls for service in Beat 10,which is an average of 19.1 calls for service per day. This does not include approximately 1,600 officer-initiated calls(traffic stops other contacts with the public) generated in the Beat. Based on the statistics above,the City's Department will experience an increase in calls for service with implementation of the project;however,the additional 4.6 calls for service per day(calls responded to by the Sheriff s Department)would not negatively impact response times. In addition to the Beat officer,the Sunset Beach area will also be served by the Police Department's Motor Officers and/or Accident Investigation Officers who respond to traffic collision calls for service. When not handling traffic related calls,these officers are available to handle calls for service in any beat within the city. The Department has indicated that it eeuld-can provide such services to the Sunset Beach community without impacting its ability to provide public safety services to the rest of Huntington Beach. Impacts of the proposed project would be less than significant. c) Schools? (Sources: #1, 5, 19) Discussion: The proposed project involves the annexation of approximately 109 acres of land to the City of Huntington Beach and associated prezoning, general plan and local coastal program amendments. Current service providers include the Huntington Beach Union High School and the Ocean View School District and will not change with project implementation. The City's proposed Specific Plan does not change the density or intensity of currently allowed land uses. Therefore, implementation of the project will not result in any impact to schools. d) Parks?

The proposed project does not propose any construction or development, and the City's Specific Plan carries forward the County's land use plan and policies for the existing recreational facilities. The proposed general plan amendment and local coastal program amendment include updates to the General Plan Recreation and Community Services Element and Land Use Plan(Coastal Element),respectively, to provide a current inventory of recreational facilities in the City as well as add the facilities in Sunset Beach to the City's inventory. However,these text changes do not require nor would they result in physical impacts to any of the facilities. The City's Sunset Beach Specific Plan was developed to reflect the specific plan approved by Orange County and no increase in density or intensity of land use is proposed. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project will not result in any impacts to parks. e) Other public facilities or governmental services? (Sources: #1, 5, 19) Discussion: The Sunset Beach area represents a proportionately small addition to the City of Huntington Beach and will not result in the need for other public facilities or governmental services such that there would be the need for new governmental facilities that might result in impacts.

The project involves five components: 1) annexation application to Orange County Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO) to annex the Sunset Beach area to the City of Huntington Beach; 2) General Plan amendment to establish City general plan- designations for the area and make text changes referencing Sunset Beach; 3) adoption of the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan; 4) zoning map amendment to establish the proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan as the new zoning for the area; and 5) local coastal program amendment to establish land use plan designations, make text changes referencing Sunset Beach and to reflect the Specific Plan and zoning for the area per items 3) and 4). The approximately 109 acre, unincorporated Sunset Beach area is generally bounded by the City of Seal Beach to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the west and south and the City of Huntington Beach to the east and southeast. The California Department of Transportation, District 12 is a responsible agency on this project, and has the following comments: 1. If any project work (e.g. storage of materials, street widening, emergency access improvements, sewer connections, sound walls, storm drain construction, street connections, etc.) will occur in the vicinity of the Department's Right-of-Way, an encroachment permit is required prior to commencement of work. Please allow 2 to 4 weeks for a complete submittal to be reviewed and for a permit to be issued. When applying for an Encroachment Permit, please incorporate Environmental Documentation, SWPPP/ -;VPCP, Hydraulic Calculations, Traffic Control Plans, Geotechnicai Analysis, Right-of-Way certification and all relevant design details including design exception approvals. For specific details on the Department's Encroachment Permits procedure,please refer to the Department's Encroachment Permits Manual. The latest edition of the manual is available on the web site: bltp://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/developsery/pennits/ Please continue to keep us informed of this project and any future developments which could potentially impact State transportation facilities.

Dear Ms. Broeren: The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) is the state `trustee agency' pursuant to Public Resources Code §21070 for the protection and preservation of California's Native American Cultural Resources. (Also see Environmental Protection Information Center v. Johns (1985) 170 Cal App. 3rd 604). The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA- CA Public Resources Code§21000-21177, amendment effective 3/18/2010) requires that any project that causes a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource, that includes archaeological resources, is a 'significant effect' requiring the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) per the California Code of Regulations §1 5064.5(b)(c)(f) CEQA guidelines). Section 15382 of the CEQA Guidelines defines a significant impact on the environment as "a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of physical conditions within an area affected by the proposed project, including ...objects of historic or aesthetic significance. The lead agency is required to assess whether the project will have an adverse impact on these resources within the `area of potential effect (APE), and if so, to mitigate that effect. State law also addresses Native American Religious Expression in Public Resources Code §5097.9. The Native American Heritage Commission did perform a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search in the NAHC SLF Inventory, established by the Legislature pursuant to Public Resources Code §5097.94(a) and Native American Cultural Resources were not identified within one-half mile of the APE identified for the project. However, there are considerable number of Native American cultural resources in close proximity to the APE. Early consultation with Native American tribes in your area is the best way to avoid unanticipated discoveries once a project is underway. Enclosed are the names of the culturally affiliated tribes and interested Native American individuals that the NAHC recommends as 'consulting parties,' for this purpose, that may have knowledge of the rel igious and cultural significance of the historic properties in the project area (e.g. APE). V Ue recommend that you Contact persons on the attached list of Native American contacts. A Native American Tribe or Tribal Elder may be the only source of information about a cultural resource.. Also, the NAHC recommends that a Native American Monitor or Native American culturally knowledgeable person be employed whenever a professional P -483- Item 13. ® Page 341 archaeologist is employed during the'Initial Study' and in other phases of the environmental planning processes. Furthermore the NAHC recommends that you contact the California Historic Resources Information System (CHRIS) of the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), for archaeological data. (916) 653-7278. Consultation with tribes and interested Native American tribes and interested Native American individuals, as consulting parties, on the NAHC list ,should be conducted in compliance with the requirements of federal NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321-43351) and Section 106 and 4(f) of federal NHPA (16 U.S.C. 470 [f)]et se), 36 CFR Part 800.3, the President's Council on Environmental Quality (CSQ; 42 U.S.C. 4371 et seq.) and NAGPRA(25 U.S.C. 3001-3013), as appropriate. The 1992 Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties were revised so that they could be applied to all historic resource types included in the National Register of Historic Places and including cultural landscapes. Consultation with Native American communities is also a matter of environmental justice as defined by California Government Code §65040.12(e). Lead agencies should consider avoidance, as defined in Section 15370 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) when significant cultural resources could be affected by a project. Also, Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 and Health & Safety Code Section 7050.5 provide for provisions for accidentally discovered archeological resources during construction and mandate the processes to be followed in the event of an accidental discovery of any human remains in a project location other than a 'dedicated cemetery. Discussion of these should be included in your environmental documents, as appropriate. The authority for the SLF record search of the NAHC Sacred Lands Inventory, established by the California Legislature, is California Public Resources Code §5097.94(a) and is exempt from the CA Public Records Act (c.f. California Government Code §6254.10). The results of the SLF search are confidential. However, Native Americans on the attached contact list are not prohibited from and may wish to reveal the nature of identified cultural resources/historic properties. Confidentiality of"historic properties of religious and cultural significance' may also be protected the under Section 304 of the NHPA or at the Secretary of the Interior' discretion if not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Secretary may also be advised by the federal Indian Religious Freedom Act (cf. 42 U.S.C, 1996) in issuing a decision on whether or not to disclose items of religious and/or cultural significance identified in or near the APE and possibly threatened by proposed project activity. CEQA Guidelines, Section 15064.5(d) requires the lead agency to work with the Native Americans identified by this Commission if the initial Study identifies the presence or likely presence of Native American human remains within the APE. CEQA Guidelines provide for agreements with Native American, identified by the NAHC, to assure the appropriate and dignified treatment of Native American human remains and any associated grave liens. Although tribal consultation under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA; CA Public Resources Code Section 21000—21177) is 'advisory' rather than mandated, the NAHC does request 'lead agencies' to work with tribes and interested Native American individuals as 'consulting parties,' on the list provided by the NAHC in order that cultural resources will be protected. However, the 2006 SB 1059 the state enabling legislation to the Federal Energy Policy Act of 2005, does mandate tribal consultation for the 'electric transmission corridors. This is codified in the California Public Resources Code, Chapter 4.3, and §25330 to Division 15, 9. Item 13. m Page 342 -48 4- requires consultation with California Native American tribes, and identifies both federally recognized and non-federally recognized on a list maintained by the NAHC Health and Safety Code§7050.5, Public Resources Code §5097.98 and Sec. §15064.5 (d) of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines) mandate procedures to be followed, including that construction or excavation be stopped in the event of an accidental discovery of any human remains in a location other than a dedicated cemetery until the county coroner or medical examiner can determine whether the remains are those of a Native American. . Note that §7052 of the Health & Safety Code states that disturbance of Native American cemeteries is a felony. Again, Lead agencies should consider avoidance, as defined in �15370 of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines), when significant cultural resources are discovered during the course of project planning and implementation.

Among several components, the Project will rezone the 109-acre area and establish land use plan designations though a local coastal program. We believe that the ND should incorporate the following comments in order for the Project to best protect water quality standards (water quality objectives and beneficial uses) contained in the Water Quality Control Plan for the Santa Ana River Basin (Region 8 Basin Plan): Infrastructure Related to Water Quality 1. Pg. 23 states that "Upon annexation, wastewater service will continue to be provided by the Sunset Beach Sanitary District...Due to the high groundwater conditions, only drainage that is required by City of Huntington Beach codes and the ordinances of the Sunset Beach Sanitary District shall be drained into the Sunset Beach Sanitary System lines. All other drainage, such as rain water...shall drain to the public street or public storm drainage system." The causal relationship could be made more clearly between high groundwater's influences on preventing new influx to the sanitary system pipes. 2. The Flooding/Shoreline Structures and Infrastructure/Utilities Sections (ND p.22), including the.paragraphs on Water Quality, would be improved by an expanded discussion of the likely Best Management Practices (BMPs) or management measures (MMs) that will be used to keep the discussed flooding by seawater (severe tides) and freshwater (storm events), sometimes in combination, from flowing into and surcharging the sanitary sewer system through manhole covers, etc. Discussion of compliance with the Orange County Drainage Management Plan (DAMP) and stormwater permits does not discuss likely applicable BMPs or MMs that would address prevention of the historical mixing of floodwaters (and street contaminants) in Sunset Beach. Section 2.4 (p. 22) should provide.more detail as to the nature of the "new structure in this area [to] be raised to a specific height above a point on South Pacific Avenue," (the street nearest the beach) to stop tidal "over-wash." California E4 ronmental Protection Agency -4s9- Item 13. - Page 347 An... ........ ......... Ms. Mary Beth Broeren -2- September 9,2010 3. We recommend that the City's emergency planning incorporate the requirements of the Sanitary District to adequately respond in such an emergency as mentioned above. In Environmental Checklist pgs.16 (Transportation/Traffic) and 21 (Hazards and Hazardous Materials), references are made to the ability of emergency vehicles to respond within the proposed Specific Plan area, with drive aisle widths being narrower (often by four feet) than most city streets. Please consider that if a sewage spill were to occur, service vehicles, and other equipment will need access to manholes and other sanitary system access structures likely located in the street. 4. Water Quality (ND p.24) should include the need for individual projects that propose to conduct dewatering from Sunset Beach's shallow groundwater , and then discharge pollutants to waters of the state, to obtain coverage under the Regional Board's de minimus permit, currently Order No. R8-2009=0003_(NPDES No. CAG998001) and subsequent iterations of this permit. The City has had coverage for City-driven projects. Dredge and Fill Projects 5. On ND pg. 39 and 40, reference is made to the repairing of bulkheads, gangways and docks along Sunset Beach Channel, with possible reconfiguration of the 11t Street public beach for launching craft. If any project would cause material to be dredged from, or filled into, waters of the United.States, i.e., surface waters or tributaries thereto, and where these waters fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) and a Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 permit is required, then the Regional Board must issue a CWA Section 401 Water Quality Standards Certification and may require mitigation for impacts to beneficial uses. Consultation with Regional Board staff concerning potential Certification issues is strongly suggested, particularly with the City's anticipated "greater use by the general public" of Sunset Beach waterways (ND pg.38-9) that have been heretofore used by private parties. Information concerning Section 401 certification is found on the Regional Board's website, http://www.waterboards.ca..qov/santaana/water issues/programs/401 certification/index.shtmi.

That June 3, 2010 report was subject to a "peer" re- view by Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS). The peer review was issued on June 24, 2010. The purpose of this brief report is to apply the EPS analysis to the PFA and point out the poten- tial financial challenges of incorporating Sunset Beach. Not all of the complexities of the peer analysis and the PFA are analyzed. The focus is only on the major financial challenges of incor- poration suggested by the peer review. The PFA contains three different service delivery scenarios for the proposed city. All three sce- narios include adoption of a utility users tax ranging from 5 to 10% and the extension of the transient occupancy tax to vacation rentals. Scenario 3 adds metered parking as a revenue source and assumes costs for beach maintenance and lifeguard services in the sixth year. This assumes that the County will pay for these services during the first five years of incorporation. Even with these additional revenues, the key findings of the EPS review is that Scenario 1 (li- mited services) and Scenario 2 (preferred services) do "not meet the minimum criteria for feasi- bility within the first three years as required by Government Code Section 56720." For Scenario 3 (maximum services), which requires a 10% Utility Users Tax, the peer review concludes that "revenues will exceed costs by more than 10% in year three" but that "by the end of year five...the city experiences annual short falls." The review concludes, "The shortfalls continue to be negative by year 10; the shortfall is a negative 3% of costs, which should not be deemed feasible." The peer review at the PFA stage casts considerable doubt on the economic feasibility of Sun- set Beach incorporation whether Scenarios 1, 2 or 3 are pursued. This could mean that a more detailed financial analysis via the LAFCO incorporation review process would further verify the financial infeasibility of the proposed incorporation of Sunset Beach. In addition to the peer review's conclusions about the fiscal inadequacy of incorporation based solely on the numbers of the PFA, its review of the more detailed revenue and expenditure ac- counts reveals that the financial feasibility of Sunset Beach incorporation becomes significantly less viable. Basically, the review concludes that the levels of expenditures are understated and the projected revenues are overstated. Page 9 Item 13. - Page 354 -496- Revenues The peer review concludes that the projected property tax revenue is overstated by $100,000. The review concludes, "This loss has a significant adverse impact on city feasibility." The re- view, however, also concludes that the PFA was conservative in projecting future property tax growth and may have understated that growth. The bottom line in the PFA financing plan is that it will require new revenues including: (1)A util- ity users tax ranging from 5 to 10%; (2) An extension of the County Transit Occupancy Tax to vacation rentals; and (3) Negotiations of a 5 percent franchise fee for gas, electric and cable. The first two revenue sources would require a vote of the people and probably would be folded into an incorporation election, if incorporation were-deemed financially feasible by tAFCO. Expenditures Regarding expenditures, EPS' review concluded that the projected part-time City Manager and part-time Treasurer are insufficient to support the proposed city. It expects that the "City Attor- ney costs will be higher in the initial years as contracts are negotiated, and city codes and or- dinances are adopted." The review expects additional engineering expense in addition to the traffic engineering cost projected. The PFA was also chided for not including expense for human resources and information technology support. Also, it was felt that Animal Control costs were understated. For non-departmental expense EPS concluded that the amount for needed office space and the purchase of initial equipment was understated. The review concluded that a 5% contingency was inadequate for a very small city and it should be increased to 10%- Finally, there is no pro- vision for future capital improvements. While three scenarios were presented in the PFA, the peer review indicated that there should be a "base budget" which would spell out basic revenues and expenditures for the proposed city, and then modify that budget with the additional revenues, deferred expenditures and the other elements which comprise the three scenarios. In addition, EPS commented that the PFA "does not calculate the impact or potential additional mitigation payments to the County that may be required." EPS raises the question of whether the proposed city would need to provide fiscal mi- tigation ("revenue neutrality") to the County upon incorporation. This is another fiscal unknown in the PFA analysis. In any event, in applying the peer review comments to the PFA budget it appears that without greenbelt, beach maintenance and lifeguard expense (Scenario 1) or without beach mainten- ance and lifeguard expense (Scenario 2), the incorporation budget is understated by $248,700. By adding costs for beach maintenance and lifeguards (Scenario 3) that understated expense grows to $298,700 in year 6. Further Financial Analysis The peer review offers specific cost increases to certain expenditure categories. When these specific increases are presented as a range of costs, the lowest number of that range was uti- lized to keep the projections as conservative as possible. Also, not all of the suggestions for cost increases were included in this analysis as noted in Table 1. Page 2 -497- Item 13. - Page 355 rafflnumm • e s Other cost increases were developed in this report based on EPS suggestions, such as the in- crease of converting the city manager and treasurer positions from half-time to full-time. It should be noted that the authors of the PFA believe that this additional staffing is unnecessary.

(2)The peer review indicated that sand replenishment should increase by$16,000.While specifics are not included in the PFA,it is mentioned that sand replenishment was considered in developing the beach maintenance cost estimate. (3)The PFA assumes that the expense for beach maintenance and lifeguards will be assumed by the County for the first five years of incorporation and that the new city would not assume these expenditures until year 6. Page 3 Item 13. - Page 356 -498- Summary Based on the EPS peer review comments, it would appear that the expense for Scenarios 1 and 2 should be increased by$248,700. It would also appear that $50,000 should be added to Sce- nario 3, once the proposed city assumes the costs for beach maintenance and the lifeguards in year six. In that case, the additional expense for running the new city would be $298,700. That expenditure increase would be immediate, however, if the County is unwilling to maintain these services for the first five years of incorporation. The EPS peer review of the PFA suggests that the incorporation of Sunset Beach is financially infeasible. By reducing a suggested $100,000 in property tax revenue, added to the increased expenditures just described, the Sunset Beach city budget would be further out-of-balance by an additional $348,700 for Scenarios 1 and 2, and eventually$398,700 for Scenario 3. This would mean that the net revenue for Scenarios 1 and 2 from years 2— 10 would be a nega- tive rather than a positive. Scenario 3 would also be in negative numbers during this same time period, particularly so in year when the city assumes responsibility for beach maintenance and lifeguards. Financial Unknowns As fiscally infeasible as the incorporation of Sunset Beach appears based on the peer review, there are three major unknowns that in the first two cases could further increase the proposed city's expenditures, and a third that will increase these expenditures.These unknowns are: 1. The PFA assumes that the lowest cost provider for services, such as contracting for law enforcement from Seal Beach, will be available to the new city. Whether or not these services will materialize at these prices is unknown. 2. Potential additional mitigation payments from the potential city to Orange County might be required to achieve the required revenue neutrality. The EPS review points out, "County impacts and potential mitigation payments should be calculated in order to disclose all potential costs that may face the new city." The amounts of these po- tential additional costs are unknown. 3. The PFA acknowledges that there is no provision for funding capital improvement costs in its study. As an example, the PFA assumes that the new city would buy the existing fire station and annually pay the cost of financing the purchase, plus utilities. However, no funding is provided for bringing the building up to seismic or ADA stan- dards. This and other potential capital improvement costs are unknown and would add to the proposed city's expenses. Conclusions Based only on the PFA Scenarios 1 and 2 do not meet "the minimum criteria for feasibility" per the peer review. The review also concludes that the proposed city would experience annual shortfalls beginning in year five under Scenario 3. Also, there are additional expenditure and revenue adjustments which make the financial feasibility of Sunset Beach incorporation even more dubious with projected shortfalls in years 2 — 10. On top of all this, there is the potential Page 4 -499- Item 13. ® Page 357 that there will be further additional expenses either through mitigation payments to Orange County and/or capital improvement expense on the part of the new city. Based on all of these factors it appears that there will be a major if not insurmountable challenge in demonstrating fis- cal feasibility for this proposed city.

operational and procedural information to the City of Huntington Beach to assist its City Council in deciding whether or not to initiate the annexation of the unincorporated community of Sunset Beach. Physically, this is a linear community con- sisting of 84 acres and an estimated 1,227 residents. It is an unincorporated island mostly sur- rounded by Huntington Beach and the Pacific Ocean. It was recently placed into the Huntington Beach Sphere of Influence by the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAF- CO). This means that this area can only be annexed into Huntington Beach, if annexation oc- curs at all. This report addresses the fiscal and operational impacts of this potential annexation in accordance with Objective LU 3.1 of the City's General Plan. Fiscal Analysis Revenues The study projected the identifiable "General Fund revenues" associated with this annexation including income from the property tax, property transfer tax, sales tax, property tax in lieu of sales tax, motor vehicle license fees, property tax in lieu of motor vehicle license fees,transient occupancy tax, franchise fees, business license fees, animal license/shelter fees, and fines and forfeitures. Since this annexation would occur without a vote of the Sunset Beach electorate, the City's Utility Users Tax would not be levied in this community. Also "other municipal revenues" were identified related to the structural fire fund property tax, FireMed, special assessments, water and wastewater fees, library property tax, and recreation program income. There are also "restricted road revenues" related to gas tax and Measure M income. General Fund estimated revenue is $795,510. By adding projected "other municipal revenue" of$439,855 there will be $1,235,365 available for various City operating expenses. By adding "restricted road revenues" of $176,555, total revenue from this potential annexation is estimated at $1,411,920. Expenditures Two approaches were taken to project the estimated additional expenditures that would occur if Huntington Beach annexed Sunset Beach. One methodology is to project the City's General Fund expenditures on a per capita basis. A per capita expense is determined by dividing each department's budget by the City's estimated population, and projecting the increase in that de- partment's budget by the increase in the population (1,227) that would be served. Using this methodology, the City's added expense is projected to be $1,092,871. The other approach is to project the actual expected additional expense for each department. This recognizes that many city operations will not require additional staffing or budget increases including, for example, police, fire, library, and administrative and staff support offices. In fact, this result emphasizes the efficiency of changing the way public services could be provided to the Sunset Beach community because of the economy of scale provided by the City. -- -----Page 1 -507- Item 1 . - Page 365 o • o • ► The functions which will require additional funding in order to provide service to Sunset Beach include Animal Control, City Clerk, Community Services, FireMed, and Park Maintenance. Using this methodology, the City's added expense is projected to be $664,140. Estimated street and road maintenance and improvement expense needed to maintain 3.98 centerline miles of streets in this community, including street sweeping and 102 street lights, is $123,521. It is assumed that the five traffic signals along Pacific Coast Highway will be main- tained in a cost sharing arrangement between Caltrans and the City. There are also one-time, likely discretionary, capital and equipment expenses which may be re- quired in Sunset Beach. One is a projected $800,000 in repairs to the Broadway Bridge, with a $96,000 local match, which can come from gas tax funds. There is also an estimated $1,500,000 worth of drainage improvements being initiated by County Parks, a portion of which would be the responsibility of the City. It is unknown what the additional cost would be to Hun- tington Beach with or without the annexation, but there would be an additional expense to the City in either case. Finally, to address beach maintenance the City will need to purchase a trac- tor($148,000) and a rake ($32,000). Other possible unknown one-time expenses associated with this potential annexation include providing engineering support to a property owner initiated underground utility project along with a Rule 20A undergrounding project being pursued by Southern California Edison.Also, planning studies related to this potential annexation, such as a General Plan Amendment, Zoning Text Amendment, Local Coastal Plan review, and environmental review that are not performed by City staff could entail a one-time consultant cost estimated at $96,894. Based on the projected all-fund revenues and expenditures presented in more detail on Table IX on page 23, it shows that the estimated fiscal impact of the Sunset Beach annexation on the City of Huntington Beach could range from an annual surplus of$195,528 to $624,259. It should be noted that these figures are only estimates based on the methodologies described in this study and do not guarantee the exact future numbers in case the annexation occurs. It should also be noted that the comparison of"actual" projected revenues and expenditures underscores the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the City serving this unincorporated area since the City would be able to extend many of its services to this area without increasing the operating budg- ets for these services. Regarding restricted road revenue, there would be an estimated surplus of gas tax and Measure M income accruing to the City for day-to-day street maintenance expense. This may be neces- sary, however, since there may be one-time capital expenses that would be required from this source. Operation Impacts This portion of the report evaluates the public service and infrastructure impacts of this potential annexation on the City of Huntington Beach. Public.Service Impacts In terms of public service impacts there would only be slight workload increases for administra- tive and support services such as Administration, City Attorney, City Clerk, Economic Develop- ment, Finance, Human Services and Information Services. Also, there would be some, but not significant, workload increases in regulatory services such as Building and Safety, and Plan- Page Z (tern 13. ® Page 366 _508- ning. While there will be some minor increase in the Police Department workload, there should be none in Fire since they are already serving this area through automatic aid and through a pa- ramedic contract with the Orange County Fire Authority. Also, additional workload is not ex- pected in the Library Department. The City's Water and Wastewater operations are not expected to be impacted.Water is already provided by the City to this area, and the Sunset Beach-Sanitary District will retain its indepen- dence and continue to provide wastewater service to this community. There will be workload increases in the Community Services Department to provide lifeguard and beach maintenance services to this area, plus administering a Junior Lifeguard Program which County Parks plans to extend for two-years. It is assumed that the Sheriff's Harbor Patrol would remain in place in Huntington Harbour and that County Parks would retain oversight of the Sunset Aquatic Park. Parks Maintenance would pick up increased workload by assuming maintenance responsibilities for a 13 acre linear park,which includes a tot lot and five recently renovated restrooms. Infrastructure-Impacts There does not appear to be any major infrastructure problems or issues with this potential an- nexation. The only potential projects with one-time cost impacts are the repairing the Broadway Bridge ($96,000 local match), and assisting in funding a County-initiated drainage project (City share unknown). There will be a need to discuss with the OCFA the future of Fire Station#3 since it is rarely used now, and this community will be easily served by the Huntington Beach Fire Department. (In fact, it already serves this area.) The linear park would be added to the City's parks inventory and appears to be in satisfactory condition. The same could be said of the streets that the City would be inheriting. The City's Water and Wastewater infrastructure would not be impacted by this potential annexation. Other Issues The Sunset Beach Community Association has developed a 13-point list of issues to discuss with Huntington Beach in the event the annexation materializes. This does not mean that the Association supports the annexation since they would prefer to remain independent. Some of the Association's issues have been addressed such as maintaining Sunset Beach Sa- nitary as an independent District (LAFCO has already approved this) and obtaining assurance that the Rule 20A underground project will be continued. The City taking over maintenance of the beach and linear park is a given. Other issues evolve around the community's desire to keep its identity, recognition of the Asso- ciation as liaison with the City Council, land use issues, discuss the future of Fire Station No. 3, impose a business license fee to limit undesirable commercial uses, and obtain contract details of the County's Junior Lifeguard Program. It would appear that most of these issues can be dis- cussed with the Association's representatives and are capable of being resolved. ------------- Page 3 m���� item 13. - Page 367 " • o a o e Annexation Process After review with LAFCO staff, this report outlines in detail the steps to be taken if the City Council decides to proceed with this annexation. State law, Orange County and LAFCO en- courage the elimination of unincorporated "islands" like Sunset Beach with the result that this area was recently placed into Huntington Beach's Sphere of Influence by LAFCO_ Now with this community in Huntington Beach's Sphere, it can now be annexed by the City. This means that if the area is annexed, it can only be annexed by the City_ Since Sunset Beach has less than 150 acres, it is an unincorporated "island." This means that under the provisions of Government Code Section 56375.3, LAFCO must approve the annexa- tion if initiated by the City without resident protest. The only discretionary action that can be tak- en by LAFCO is to apply"terms and conditions" or to"make modifications with terms and condi- tions"to the annexation. Part of the application process requires the City to "prezonen the area prior to consideration of the annexation. This would mean that the City would need to initiate and complete a Zoning Map Amendment to include Sunset Beach in its General Plan. At some point the City would need to also process a General Plan Amendment and a Local Coastal Program Amendment thru the Coastal Commission. Other related planning documents would need to be prepared in- cluding a Zoning Text Amendment and an environmental review. There are certain application fees normally associated with an annexation application. However, LAFCO may waive these fees. Minor fees related to certification and recordation fees will need to be paid before an annexation is finalized. ---__..._._...___.......__.......... ----�__-- Page 4 Item 13. ® Page 368 -510- Annexation Analysisbunset Beach Purpose The purpose of this report is to present fiscal, operational, and procedural issues related to the possible annexation to the City of Huntington Beach of the unincorporated community of Sunset Beach. This is in concert with the City's General Plan, and Objective LU 3.1,which states: "Ensure that any proposed annexation is consistent with the overall objectives and does not adversely impact fiscal or environmental resources, and public services and infra- structure of the City of Huntington Beach." This report, then, will assess the fiscal impact of the possible annexation of Sunset Beach as well as operational issues regarding public services and infrastructure of the City. The goal of this study is to provide the necessary data, information and analysis to assist the Huntington Beach City Council in determining if the Council desires to take action to annex Sunset Beach. The procedural steps to be followed if the City Council decides to pursue annexation will also be presented. Background Sunset Beach is a small, unincorporated beachfront community, adjacent to and northwest of the City of Huntington Beach. Fronting 48-acres of white sand beach, Sunset Beach has an es- timated 1,227 residents and 685 dwelling units. Containing 85 acres it is surrounded by Hunting- ton Beach on the south and east, the City of Seal Beach on the north and the Pacific Ocean on the west. The community is long (a little over one mile) and narrow, with a combination of residential, commercial and public.land uses. Besides the beautiful white sand beach, a predominant fea- ture of this community is a long greenbelt, or linear park which once served as the Pacific Elec- tric Red Car right-of-way. This 13-acre park appears to front most of the homes in this communi- ty, provides free parking for beach users, contains five remodeled restrooms and a tot lot. This older beachfront community has maintained its old time charm, with a quaint post office, a volunteer fire station (Orange County Fire Authority Station No. 3), and a women's club. They have a number of community events, including a Mile Long Garage Sale, sponsored by the Sunset Beach Community Association. This Association is active, meeting monthly, and main- taining its own website at sunsetbeachca.org. Sunset Beach is also served by the Sunset Beach Sanitary District which was formed in 1930 to provide sewage and trash collection to the Sunset Beach/Surfside Colony communities. This District has an elected Board of Directors representing the local electorate. ----- Page 5 _511- Item 13. ® Page 369 e • $i s e Why Change the Status Quo? Why change the status quo? Or put another way: how did the City of Huntington Beach get to the point of considering the annexation of the Sunset Beach community? The process of cities annexing small unincorporated"islands" like Sunset Beach started several years ago with a change in state annexation law. Recently, several local government actions, particularly by the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) have raised this specific annexation issue.These actions are described in this section. The Sunset Beach community is considered a small unincorporated "island." For some time the State of California has recognized the inefficiency of large counties providing municipal services to these small,"islands." State law was changed to permit small unincorporated "islands" of 150 acres or less to be located in a City's sphere of influence allowing these areas to be annexed without resident protest (Government Code Section 56375.3). Sunset Beach falls into this cate- gory since it is an area of 85 acres and is substantially surrounded by the City of Huntington Beach and the Pacific Ocean, with only its short northern boundary bordering the City of Sear Beach. In addition to this change in state law, according to LAFCO, about 15 years ago the County started to focus more on the provision of regional, countywide services, and pulling back from the provision of municipal-type services. With the more recent and ongoing fiscal problems faced by governments at all levels, it is clear that it is inefficient for counties to provide services to such relatively small "islands," unconnected to other unincorporated areas. An example cited by LAFCO staff of one such inefficiency is in the area of fire and emergency medical service. OCFA Engine #3 (volunteer) located at the Sunset Beach fire station and staffed by Reserve Fire Fighters, received 51 calls in 2008, but was only able to respond with qualified reserves in two of those cases. The bulk of the fire and emergency medical responses to this area come under an automatic aid agreement with OCFA from the City's Warner Avenue Fire Station which is located only 800 feet from the City's boundary with this community. Also, on July 1, 2004, the OCFA began contracting with the City to provide paramedic emergency medical services to this area since, according to the contract, "...such emergency services can more promptly and more efficiently be provided to the SERVICE AREA (Sunset Beach) by the CITY." Further, OCFA almost closed the Sunset Beach fire station, but kept it open in response to community support of this station. So, while Sunset Beach is formally served by the OCFA, it is more promptly and efficiently served by the City of Huntington Beach Fire Department. A Sphere of Influence (SOI) according to state law (Government Code Section 56425) must be established by LAFCO for all cities and special districts. This is a state mandated planning tool designed to identify logical municipal server providers for unincorporated areas throughout the County. Huntington Beach's Sphere of Influence was adopted in 1973, and updated in 1989 and 2006. During the 2006 update, while LAFCO staff urged that Sunset Beach be included in the City's SOI, that recommended action was not taken by the LAFCO Commission. However, over three years later during a subsequent SOI review on July 8, 2009, the Commission placed Sunset Beach in the City's Sphere. This does not mean that Sunset Beach would automatically be an- nexed by Huntington Beach, but if it were annexed, it could only be annexed by the City. Page & Item 13. - Page 370 ��7�- On July 31, 2009, the Huntington Beach City Council conducted a special meeting to review and update the strategic goals of the City. At this meeting the possible Sunset Beach annexation was discussed by residents of Sunset Beach addressing the Council under"public comments." No formal action by the City Council, however, was taken or reported. On August 10, 2009,the Seal Beach City Council reviewed a staff report and heard from Sunset Beach residents regarding possible annexation by that City of this unincorporated community. While those from Sunset Beach speaking at the meeting urged the Council to pursue annexa- tion of their community, no action was taken by the City Council to pursue such an annexation. It is clear that state law, Orange County and LAFCO are encouraging the elimination of unincor- porated islands, that the City of Seal Beach is not interested in annexing Sunset Beach, and that this community has been placed into Huntington Beach's Sphere of Influence. The question now is whether or not the City is interested in annexing Sunset Beach and whether the City should take steps to initiate this annexation. if the City does pursue this annexation as an unin- corporated "island,"and assuming proper procedural steps are taken by the City including those related to prezoning and environmental review, the LAFCO Commission must approve the an- nexation. This approval would be subject to terms and conditions or with modifications subject to terms and conditions which would be determined by the Commission. This report will review fiscal, operational and procedural issues to assist the City in answering the question of whether or not the annexation of the Sunset Beach community should be pursued. Methodology The methodology of this study included reviewing documents and data supplied by City and LAFCO staff. This included financial, operational, and procedural information. Review of docu- ments prepared by the Seal Beach staff as well as material written by the Sunset Beach Com- munity Association was completed. Pertinent sections of state law along with an Attorney Gen- eral's Opinion were also read. Also, interviews and email inquiries were conducted with the staff of the City, LAFCO, and the Orange County Parks Department. The estimated revenues and expenditures in this report are just that: estimates. They are calcu- lated based on information supplied by either City staff or from the LAFCO Sphere of Influence report prepared last summer. These are not precise figures that guarantee actual revenues or expenditures which will be received or expended should the potential annexation occur. It should be noted that in very limited portions of this report some general conclusions are of- fered regarding the reading of the City Charter, the General Plan and state law. These conclu- sions are based solely on the "plain reading" of these documents, and should not be considered a legal interpretation of this material. Any legal opinions of these documents are the province of the City Attorney, and should be referred to that office for further comment, if needed. Fiscal Analysis This fiscal analysis presents the projected revenues that would accrue to the City of Huntington Beach if the Sunset Beach community were annexed to the City as well as the estimated City expenditures for serving this area. The projected revenues are categorized in three categories: Income that would accrue to the City's General Fund; -----------Page 7 -513- Item 13. e Page 371 • Other municipal revenue; and • Restricted street and road revenue. These revenues not only include the reallocation of property taxes per the Master Property Tax Agreement between the City and Orange County, a shift of sales tax revenue to the City, but City fees and taxes that would be applied to this area as well. It should be noted that there are certain revenues that are not currently collected in Sunset Beach by the County. Taxes that are collected in the City, but not in the County, such as the Utility Users Tax cannot be collected in Sunset Beach without a vote of that community's electo- rate. This report provides estimated General Fund revenue projections for the Utility Users Tax for information purposes only. This report contains two different approaches in projecting expenditures. One is an estimate us- ing a per capita cost projection, assuming that there will be an incremental increase in expense as the City population increases, both through annexation and normal population growth. The other is a projection of the actual expenditures expected to be spent to provide services to this community. In terms of methodology, the first estimate is based on per capita cost projections and the second is based on current actual estimated expenditures. The latter estimate assumes that per capita cost increases projected for certain City functions will not occur as will be ex- plained in more detail in the "expenditure" section, and that actual expenditures will more accu- rately describe the "real"fiscal impact the proposed annexation will have on the City. Revenues This section presents revenues which will be received by the City as a result of the possible an- nexation of Sunset Beach. As mentioned previously, these revenues are presented in the fol- lowing categories: • General Fund Revenues, which is income which can be used for any municipal purpose; ® Other Municipal Revenues, which is income that normally can be used for general city operations, but limited to a specific city function such as the Structural Fire Fund Proper- ty Tax which can only be used to support fire services; and • Restricted Road Revenues which can only be used for road maintenance and street projects. General Puna Revenues Property Taxes The Master Property Tax Agreement governing the sharing of property tax revenue between the City and Orange County was approved by the City on October 28, 1980. While adopted a num- ber of years ago this resolution is current and provides by its terms that the tax split specified in the Agreement"shall...be used for all annexations...without regard to the year they take place." The Agreement provides that the general tax levy will be allocated as follows: 56 percent (rounded) to the City and 44 percent (rounded) to the County. This division is net of the Coun- -----__._..___ Page 8 Item 13. - Page 372 -514- REMMEM • e i e ty's contribution to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund. Also, this revenue is separate from the Structural Fire Fund Property Tax (OCFA) which is discussed later under the "Other Municipal Revenues"section. The estimated property tax revenue for municipal services and redevelopment is estimated at $146,306. Property Transfer Tax When new property is sold:or more likely in Sunset Beach when an existing property is resold, a property transfer tax of$1.10 per$1,000 of transferred value is levied on the sale of real proper- ty. The resulting revenue is then split between the City and Orange County, with each obtaining $.55 of the transferred value.While neither the County nor LAFCO could provide actual last fis- cal year transfer tax revenue for this area, and no revenue estimate was provided in the LAFCO Sphere of Influence report prepared last summer, it is estimated for the purposes of this report that$4,268 would be produced based on the property transfer tax income realized in Huntington Beach. This estimate is calculated using the proportion of dwelling units in Sunset Beach com- pared to the City (685 DUs/77,962 DUs = .88%x$485,000 = $4,268). Sales Tax While Sunset-Beach is mostly residential, it has commercial development along Pacific Coast Highway. Using actual sales tax from the accounts within the unincorporated island, sales tax revenue that would accrue to Huntington Beach is estimated at $186,857 (Source: HDL compa- nies). Property Tax In Lieu of Sales Tax It is estimated by LAFCO, based on the accounts within Sunset Beach, that property tax in lieu of sales tax revenue amounts to $19,738 annually. Motor Vehicle License Fees (MVLF) If the annexation occurs, the City will receive MVLF subvention revenue in accordance with the AB 1602 formula. It is estimated that Huntington Beach would receive $61,350 from this reve- nue source (1,227 x$50). Property Tax In Lieu of Motor Vehicle License Fees It is estimated by LAFCO that the property tax in lieu of motor vehicle license fees accruing to Huntington Beach would be $184,521. Transient Occupancy Tax The County charges a 10 percent Transient Occupancy Tax (bed tax), the same as the City of Huntington Beach. Last year, the County rate produced $151,356 in revenue. There may be a potential land use and/or business license issue with weekly rentals occurring in Sunset Beach, which are not permitted by Huntington Beach. However, they apparently are not subject to the -- — Page 9 -515- Item 13. o Page 373 County bed tax. Based on the County charging the same rate as the City, it is projected that the City would receive$151,356 annually from the Transient Occupancy Tax. Transient Occupancy Tax (Business Improvement District) The City also has a Business Improvement District which is supported by an additional one per- cent Transient Occupancy Tax. Since this one percent TOT is 10 percent of the regular tax rate, the estimated revenue from this income source is$16,136 ($151,356 x 10%)'. Franchise Fees It is estimated, based on the amount received countywide in the unincorporated areas, applying the amount per capita from the Sunset Beach population, that the franchise fees for electricity, natural gas, and broadband/cable television/telecommunications would produce $10,660.These are franchise fees applied to each of these services and are separate from the Utility Users Tax. This would provide total franchise fee revenue of$10,660. Utility Users Tax The Utility Users Tax is a five (5) percent tax imposed on the users of certain utilities in the City including water, telephone, gas, electric, and cable television services. Projecting an increase in these revenues based the proportionate increase in dwelling units projected by this potential annexation, it is estimated that Utility Users Tax revenue would increase by $191,119 (685/77,962 = .88% x$21,726,000). It should be noted, however, that in the view of LAFCO legal staff the Utility Users Tax could be imposed only if the annexation were processed as a normal inhabited unincorporated area re- quiring a vote of the Sunset Beach electorate. Since it is being pursued as an "island" annexa- tion, not involving a vote of those being annexed, Proposition 218 would bar the imposition of this tax to this area according to LAFCO. As a result, this estimate is provided for information only and is not included in the overall General Fund revenue projection. Business License Tax In the City's license and permits revenue category, the largest revenue source is the business license fee. LAFCO in preparing its revenue estimates as part of the SOI study did not include any income from this source since apparently the County does not have a business license fee. Therefore, there was no available data from which to produce a revenue estimate. There ob- viously are businesses located in Sunset Beach, and with a minimum business license fee of $75 per business, some revenue should be produced from this source. Since there was not an available count of the number of businesses in Sunset Beach, a per capita revenue projection for Huntington Beach was developed ($2,200,000/202,480 = $10.87) and applied to this unin- corporated island. Using that formula, projected business license revenue is $13,337 (1,227 x $10.87)_ ' Technically, this is not a General Fund revenue and normally would be placed in the "Other Municipal Revenue" category. However, it is presented here since it is normally associated with the Transient Oc- cupancy Tax described above. ------ Page ?Q Item 13. - Page 374 -516- MMii oi�il uli f a f As a further note, feedback has been received that some in Sunset Beach would look forward to implementing a business license tax in their community. Some view this as a way to discourage undesirable businesses locating there. Whether or not the tax charged for a business license would have this effect is debatable. The business license should not be considered by Sunset Beach residents as a regulatory tool. Animal License/Shelter Fees Based on actual fees collected from this unincorporated island, the LAFCO study indicated es- timated revenue from this source at $1,745. Permit and Regulatory Fees Planning and Zoning Fees Based on the per capita revenue received in Huntington Beach for planning and zoning fees as applied to Sunset Beach, it is estimated that the City will receive revenue in the amount of $8,503 ($1,403,000/202,480 = $6.93 x 1,227). This estimate is provided for information purpos- es and not included in the total General Fund revenue projections since these are fees which basically cover staff expenses required to provide planning and zoning services to the Sunset Beach community. Building Permit Fees While Sunset Beach is basically "built out," remodeling often occurs requiring building, plumb- ing, electrical, mechanical and/or other permits. Using a per capita projection, it is estimated that the City will receive $13,387 from this revenue source ($2,210,000/202,480 = $10.91 x 1,227). Similar to the planning and zoning fees, this estimate is provided for information purposes and is not included in the overall General Fund revenue projections. Code Enforcement Fees Again, the LAFCO SOI study attributed zero revenue from Code Enforcement fees. This is be- cause no such fees were collected by the County. However, last July when City staff conducted an informal windshield survey of the Sunset Beach area, 129 violations were identified. While 40% of the violations were related to trash, debris and landscaping, the remaining were struc- tural such as faulty weather protection, signs, garage conversions, and dilapidated roofs and ga- rages. This number of violations as a percentage of total housing units is 18.8 percent, com- pared to 13.0 percent in the rest of the City. Using a per capita projection along with determining the proportionate increase in violations (18.8% vs. 13.0%) compared to the remainder of the City (1,227/202,480 =.61% x $29,100 x 1.45), the revenue from this source is estimated to be $257. Similar to the planning, zoning and building permit fees, this estimate is provided for in- formation purposes only. It should be noted that since code enforcement will assume an additional service area, there will be an impact on the City in providing these services to the Sunset Beach area. This impact is reflected in whatever time is spent away from existing areas of responsibility by staff. In summary, it appears that the Permit and Regulatory Fees from Planning and Zoning, Building Permit, and Code Enforcement will generate $22,147 in revenue which will offset the expenses --- ----Page 97 -517- Item 13. ® Page 375 t t t t t in processing permits and enforcing the City's codes_ Because of this offset, neither the reve- nues nor expenditures for these functions are included in the revenue and expenditure projec- tions of this report. Fines/Forfeitures Fines and forfeitures reflect income generated by Motor Vehicle and Municipal Code fines and other miscellaneous fines and forfeitures. Based on the LAFCO SOI study, using a projection based on the unincorporated county area per capita revenue as applied to Sunset Beach, the estimated fines and forfeiture revenue which would accrue to Huntington Beach is$1,236. Total General Fund Revenues Based on the individual revenues identified in the preceding paragraphs, the total General Fund revenue that this potential annexation could produce for the City of Huntington Beach, excluding the Utility Users' Tax is $795,510. This General Fund revenue data is summarized in Table 1, entitled, "Projected Annual General Fund Revenue, Sunset Beach Annexation, 2009— 10."

To support that service, OCFA benefits from a Structural Fire Fund Property Tax. In the case of this unincorporated "island,"this tax produces$350,731 which would shift to Huntington Beach upon annexation of this area. It should be noted, however, that currently OCFA contracts with the City for Advanced Life Sup- port (Paramedic) service from the City Fire Department to the Sunset Beach community. It is presumed, upon annexation, that the contract in the amount of $8,000 would discontinue. The net revenue to the City fire service would be$342,731 ($350,731 -$8,000). FireMed FireMed is a voluntary membership program allowing residents to receive City paramedic and ambulance services for no additional out-of-pocket expenses. The cost to join the programs is $60 per year, per household. With an estimated 33% participation rate per household based on the city-wide membership average, there would be an estimated participation of 405 households from Sunset Beach that would join this program. The estimated revenue from this membership is$24,300 (405 x$60). Special Assessments According to the LAFCO SOI report, there are special assessments totaling $3,946 which would be passed on to Huntington Beach if this annexation occurred. Water/Wastewater Fees Based on actual revenues, LAFCO estimates that there is $322,364 in water and wastewater fees produced in Sunset Beach. However, this does not mean that this is additional revenue that would accrue to Huntington Beach if this area were annexed. First, at the July 8, 2009, LAFCO meeting, the Commission decided that the Sunset Beach Sanitary District would main- tain its independent status with its own sphere of influence. Second, the City already receives payment for water service from this community. Further, there is a 10 percent surcharge on the water bill that would evaporate upon annexation. So, instead of$322,364 accruing to the Hun- tington Beach, there would be a loss to the water fund of$23,151. Library Property Tax Currently, there is property tax revenue supporting the County Library System that would shift to Huntington Beach upon annexation. The LAFCO estimated revenue for City library service which would shift to the City upon the annexation of Sunset Beach is estimated at$52,029. Page 13 _579- Item 13. a Page 377 f f i f Recreation Programs There has been a Junior Lifeguard Program conducted in Sunset Beach, generating approx- imately $40,000 in revenue to the County. The current contract ended with the summer 2009 session. However, the County Parks Department intends to extend the contract through 2011. It is expected that this contract extension would occur before Sunset Beach could be annexed into Huntington Beach. At some time in the future, if the annexation occurs, the City may want to consider folding this program into their Junior Lifeguard program. In the meantime, the revenue produced from this program is estimated at$40,000. Parking Fees While Sunset Beach does not have any parking meters, they apparently developed some form of parking permit system. The consultant was informed that since residents were being ticketed along with visitors for parking in front of garages, this system involved permits which allowed residents to park in these spaces. Neither the County nor LAFCO had any information on this permitting system, the fee structure, or the revenue that was produced. The amount of revenue likely would be minimal in any event. As a result, no additional revenue from parking fees is pro- jected in this report. Total Other Municipal Revenues It is estimated that if Sunset Beach were annexed into Huntington Beach, there would be Other Municipal Revenues available to support City fire, library and miscellaneous services in the amount of$439,853. This data is summarized in Table II, entitled, "Projected Annual Other Mu- nicipal Revenues, Sunset Beach Annexation, 2009— 11I Table 11 Projected Annual Other Municipal Revenues Sunset Beach Annexation, 2009—10 Structural Fire Fund Property Tax $350,731 Loss of Emergency Medical Contract Revenue (8,000) FireMed 24,300 Total Fire Department Revenue $367,031 Special Assessments 3,946 Loss of Water Surcharge (23,151) Library Property Tax 52,029 Recreation Program (Jr. Lifeguard contract) 40,000 ..-........-.................._............... ------�_._._.._.._.. TOTAL OTHER MUNICIPAL REVENUE $439,855 Page 14 Item 13. ® Page 378 -520- Restricted Road Revenues Gas Tax Funds If Sunset Beach were annexed by the City, state gas tax funds now collected by the County for this area would shift to the City. According to the LAFCO SOI financial report, and in applying the countywide per capita factor for this "island' an additional $190,480 would be produced for street maintenance and other road projects. However, this estimate included $127,462 in Sec- tion 2104 gas tax funds which only accrues to the County, and did not include an estimate of Section 2107 gas tax funds which would be allocated only to the City. By making these adjust- ments, it is estimated that the state gas tax funds that would be received by the City (from Sec-__ tions 2105, 2106, 2107, and 2107.5 gas tax funds) if this annexation occurred is an estimated $148,381. These revenues, as well as those received through Measure M, are restricted only to the use of street maintenance and improvements. Measure M Measure M is an initiative passed by the voters in Orange County to finance transportation im- provements using revenue produced from a countywide sales tax. Based on the actual sales tax revenue produced in Sunset Beach, it is estimated that Huntington Beach would receive $28,174 from this source if they annexed this"island." Total Restricted Read Revenues The estimated amount of restricted road revenues which would switch from the County to the City if Sunset Beach were annexed is an estimated $176,555. This data is summarized in Table III, entitled, "Projected Restricted Road Revenues." Table III Projected Restricted Road Revenues Gas Tax $148,381 Measure M 28,174 Total Restricted Road Revenues $176,555 Revenue Summary The total General Fund, other municipal revenues and restricted road revenues are summarized in Table IV, entitled, "Projected General Fund, Other Municipal and Restricted Road Revenues."

One is based upon a methodology of projecting the City's General Fund expenditures on a per capita basis. A per capita expense for each department is determined by dividing each department's budget by the City's estimated population (202,480), and then projecting a number to reflect the additional population that would be served (1,227) if Sunset Beach were annexed. As presented in Table V entitled, "Per Capita General Fund Expenditures with Sunset Beach Population," this projec- tion developed by City staff would mean an increase in City operating expenditures of $1.,092,871. Compared to the General Fund revenue projections presented in Table 1, this would mean a deficit of$291,361 ($795,510- $1,092,871). However, by adding the General Fund and Other Municipal Revenues together, there would be a surplus of $142,494 ($795,510 + $439,855 = $1,235,365-$1,092,871).

(2)Population based on 2009 estimate provided by Economic Development. The problem with this analysis is that for many departments there likely would be no additional budget costs. For example, there might be additional but likely minimal additional work gener- ated by this annexation in City Administration. There-probably would not be enough additional workload to generate an increase in this Department's budget. This extra work would be ab- sorbed and prioritized within Administration's normal workload. Even a direct service Department such as Fire will not have nor need a budget increase of $195,375 shown in Table V now or over the next several years. This is because Fire already serves this community through an automatic aid agreement and provides paramedic service through an ALS contract with OCFA. It not only has the nearest"career"fire station, but Sunset Beach falls within the normal 1 '/2 mile radius of the Warner Avenue Fire Station which is the desired response distance for a suburban fire station. It can be argued that with incremental growth such as this annexation, increase in average fami- ly size, or new development, over time there could be an eventual increase in city expense when a certain "critical mass" of additional population to be served has been obtained. Howev- er, over time with the possibility of an aging population, average family size may actually de- cline. The only major additional costs are likely to be in the areas of lifeguard services, beach and park maintenance, road, traffic signal and street light maintenance. Even a slight increase in calls for law enforcement service likely will be absorbed within existing police staffing. Also City staff indicates that the "potential impact on current code enforcement operations is believed to be minor" even though, as described earlier, a July windshield survey indicated approximately 129 code violations. A large portion of those code violations, however, were for property main- tenance issues. There probably will be some additional permit and entitlement processing in Building, Public Works and Planning, but this work should be offset by fees and absorbed by existing staff given the overall decline in building and development activity in Southern California. As explained ---------- Page 77 -523- Item 13. ® Page 381 • e o i o above, additional potential income from planning and building fees from this potential annexa- tion were not included in the projected revenues because of the expenditure offset. The next section provides an estimate of the "real" or expected "actual" additional expenses ex- pected if Sunset Beach were annexed into Huntington Beach. General Fund Expenditure Projections (Actual) This section presents the estimated potential real recurring cost impacts that would occur with the possible annexation of Sunset Beach to Huntington Beach. These costs are estimates, and have been prepared in conjunction with City staff. The cost estimates are for operating ex- penses for those Departments likely to have an increase in their budget in order to serve this unincorporated "island." Included in this discussion will be some one-time costs and unknown future capital obligations that would be assumed by the City if this annexation occurred. Also, even though no additional expenses are expected in some major City departments such as Po- lice and Fire, they,are briefly discussed in this section since they are a major part of the City's budget. Fire As indicated earlier no additional Fire Department expense is expected if Sunset Beach is an- nexed since the Department is already serving this area. With the Structural Fire Fund Property Tax, less the elimination of the ALS contract with the OCFA, there will be a net reve- nue/expenditure benefit to the City of $342,731. The Fire service is mentioned in this section since it is a major cost center of the City, and there is a significant revenue offset for this service in the annexation scenario. Police The LAFCO Sphere study estimated $1,237,023 in total County General Fund expenditures to serve Sunset Beach. Of that amount, $1,198,524 was allocated for Sheriff services. This esti- mate was based on calls for service as a ratio to the total calls in the County's unincorporated territory compared to Sunset Beach. The Sheriff's Department reports that there are six depu- ties assigned to this unincorporated area, working three shifts, providing 24 hours per day cov- erage. In the power point presentation to the Seal Beach City Council that City's staff concluded that this level of expenditure "is overstated, and not an accurate reflection of costs for the currently provided level of services to the Sunset Beach Community." The consultant would agree with that conclusion. In its analysis of required service, the Huntington Beach Police Department looked at the Part Crime Statistics for Sunset Beach. While they found it was difficult to obtain exact numbers for this area, crime data was obtained from the Sheriff's Records Management System for 2007 and 2008. As shown in "Table VI — Sunset Beach Part I Crime Statistics—2007 & 2008,"there were 39 Part I, or major, crimes in 2007 and 44 in 2008. In addition, there were 59 traffic colli- sions in 2007 and 53 in 2008. —Page 98 Item 13. ® Page 382 -524- Table VI Sunset Beach Park I Crime Statistics —2007&2008 Homicides 0 0 Rape 0 1 Robbery 4 V 2 Felony Assault 5 5 Burglary 13 15 Larceny 12 15 Motor Vehicle Theft 5 6 Total Part i Crimes 39 44 After reviewing this data, police staff concluded, "it appears the Police Department could provide law enforcement services to Sunset Beach while maintaining current staffing levels." As a result, no additional expenditures are added to this Department's budget in evaluating the fiscal impact of the potential Sunset Beach annexation. Animal Control Using a two year average for 2007 and 2008, there appears to be 309 annual calls for service. This average may be inflated since there were a reported 37 calls for service in 2007, but 545 in 2008. Since Orange County Animal Care charges approximately $100 per call, using the 309 figure, there would be added cost to the City for this annexation in the estimated amount of $31,000. While this figure may be inflated, it is used in this analysis due to the lack any other available data. City Clerk Sunset Beach has two precincts with 797 registered voters. In November 2008, these two pre- cincts were consolidated into one polling place with five election workers. It is generously esti- mated that the City Clerk's Office would experience additional election costs in the amount of $2,500 every two years. Averaging this expense on an annual basis it is estimated that there would be additional expense in this office of$1,250. Community Services Beach Maintenance To maintain the same level of service in maintaining 48-acres of beach as currently being pro- vided would cost an estimated $61,880. This includes, according to the Community Services Department: "...periodic hand picking of litter, contractually provided trash removal daily, graffiti re- moval, ice plant trimming, the raking and sanitizing of the sand four times per month, and the construction and removal of street end sand berms as needed seasonally." - ----- Fags 19 -525- Item 13. - Page 383 However, there will be an estimated additional expense for supervision and travel time. This is because this stretch of beach is not contiguous with other City beaches, and because there will be a need to operate a day-time beach cleaning crew since Sunset Beach is adjacent to a resi- dential area. Currently, the City does not provide day-time crews. It is estimated that $80,000 will be needed in the beach maintenance budget to cover the extra expense of supervision and travel time to this beach.This will mean an estimated beach maintenance budget of$141,880. Another issue with an undetermined cost is where to store maintenance equipment and the need to obtain an additional tractor and rake. Currently, the County's equipment is used at sev- eral locations. Their equipment is either is stored at the Talbert Nature Preserve or the Upper Newport Beach Nature Preserve. The exception is a large sand sifter, or sanitizer, which is de- voted exclusively to Sunset Beach and is stored at Sunset Marina. If Huntington Beach could obtain the sanitizer from the County, it would need to determine if it could continue to be stored at the Marina. There could be a rental expense associated with this storage. Also, there likely would be the cost of purchasing a tractor. In addition; Sunset Beach through the County participates with other beach cities in a Sand Replenishment Program. There are 12 stages of the program, each stage four or five years apart, with payment based on the linear feet of coast line. In 2001 the County's share for this section of the beach was $46,356, and in 2008 it was $5,600. There is no explanation for this difference in amounts. Staff speculates that there may be an error in how the data was distri- buted among the agencies. In comparing the dollars charged Huntington Beach in 2001 and 2008, and given its much longer shoreline, it would appear that the $5,600 is probably the more accurate cost for this work along Sunset Beach. Therefore, it is estimated the next stage of this Federal Erosion Control program would cost the City about $6,000, possibly as soon as 2013. In order to annualize the cost of this work in order to assess the impact of this potential annexa- tion, it is recommended that $1,250 be included in the expenditure estimates ($6,000/5). Marine Safety Staff indicates that the County currently contracts for Marine Safety Services (Lifeguard) in the amount of $333,000. They recommend that, if this annexation occurs, this contract be main- tained. Also, the City would need to negotiate the retention of the lifeguard towers and equip- ment that currently serve beach activities. The estimated cost of assuming marine safety for Sunset Beach is $333,000. A question was raised regarding the City being responsible for ultimately replacing the lifeguard towers which serve Sunset Beach. However, these lifeguard towers are owned by US Ocean Safety which provides marine safety to the beach. If the contract for this service is maintained as proposed by staff, then lifeguard tower replacement should not be an issue for the City. As a result, this report does not project any expense for lifeguard tower replacement in the immediate future. It should be noted that there are no special events planned for this section of beach. Therefore, no funds are projected to be added for this purpose. FireMed This voluntary program allows members to receive paramedic and ambulance services without out-of-pocket expense. By applying the City's percentage participation in the program to Sunset Beach, it is estimated that people from 405 residences would belong (1,227 x 33%). With a -----T----Page 20 Item 13. m Page 384 -526- - a ♦ a a a yearly expense to the City of$51.26 per household, it is estimated that this program would cost $20,760 (405 x$51.26)to administer. Public Works Park Maintenance There is a 13-acre linear park or greenbelt maintained by a combination of contractual services and County staff. The janitorial contract costs $21,000, the landscape contract totals $76,000, and it is projected that City staff can complete the work performed by County personnel at a cost of $38,000. This would mean an annual additional cost to this Department for park main- tenance service of an estimated $135,000 if this annexation occurred. Projected Actual Operating Expense Summary In reviewing the projected actual operating expense that would be incurred by Huntington Beach - if they annexed the Sunset Beach community, it is estimated that this additional cost would be $664,140. This estimate is summarized in Table VII, entitled, "Annual Actual Operating Expense Projection Summary, Sunset Beach, 2009—10."

Total Estimated Operating Expense $664,140 Based on this analysis, comparing the estimated General Fund revenue projections to the esti- mated "actual" expenditures, the City would obtain an annual revenue surplus of $131,370 ($795,510 - $664,140) if Sunset Beach were annexed by Huntington Beach. This surplus would grow to $571,225 ($1,235,365 - $664,140) in comparing both General Fund and Other Munici- pal Revenues to the total estimated "actual' operating expense. One Time Capital/Other Expenses These projected revenue surpluses for the potential annexation of the Sunset Beach community may be needed since there are several one-time capital expenses on the horizon for Sunset Page 21 -527- Item 13. - Page 385 Beach. In terms of bridge maintenance, the Broadway Bridge would be part of the annexation. Public Works has reviewed a Caltrans bridge report indicating that the cost for bridge repair is an estimated $800,000. If grant funding from the Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program can be obtained, and the annexation occurred, the City's one-time matching funds would be an es- timated $96,000. The source of these funds would either be from City gas tax funds or Measure M. The Orange County Parks Department has allocated $150,000 in 2009-10 to initiate planning for Sunset Harbor dredging. Since this annexation would not likely be completed this fiscal year, even if initiated by the City, the Department will proceed with the initial planning for this project. The overall dredging work includes areas outside of Sunset Beach and will be paid for under a cost sharing arrangement with all impacted agencies including the City of Huntington Beach. The City, by the way, would be a participant in this project with or without the annexation. Hun- tington Beach would have a larger financial responsibility for their share of the project, however, if the annexation occurred. The-total estimated cost of this shared-cost dredging work is $1,500,000. The City's share of this cost, with or without the annexation, is not known at this time. While there is the prospect of the City inheriting the County Parks beach sanitizing machine, it is expected that the City would need to purchase two pieces of equipment for beach maintenance. One is a tractor($148,000) and the other is rake ($32,000). This will be a one-time expense with this equipment being folded into the City's equipment replacement program. According to the Public Works Department, there are two undergrounding projects proposed in the Sunset Beach area. One is a Rule 20A project initiated by Southern California Edison for which funding is available and permits are being issued. Staff indicates that this project will be- gin and subsequently completed regardless of any annexation issues. The other project is homeowner initiated and may or may not proceed depending upon whether the proper percentage of property owner signatures representing property owners is obtained. If this project proceeds, the County has agreed to provide an assessment engineer and provide support for any coordination issues. This commitment would probably become the responsibility of the City should annexation be successful. The estimated cost of this commitment could not be determined. Other one-time costs would be the preparation of planning and related studies which may be necessary to complete this annexation. There will be a need for a Zoning Map Amendment, General Plan Amendment and Local Coastal Plan Amendment to include the Sunset Beach area into the City's Zoning Map, General Plan and Local Coastal Plan. In addition there will eventually be a need for a Zoning Text Amendment to formally adopt the existing 1990 Sunset Beach Specific Plan. The Coastal Commission staff may also request an update of this Specific Plan because it is almost twenty years old. Finally, there will be a need for an environmental as- sessment for this annexation. If they are conducted by a consultant, rather than "in-house", staff estimates that there will be a one-time expense of approximately$96,894. The estimated costs of these planning studies are contained in Table VIII entitled, "Potential One-Time Planning Costs."To the extent there is a need for community meetings as part of this process, this estimate could be higher. gage 22 Item 13. m Page 386 -528- Table 1f111 Potential One-Time Planning Costs General Plan Amendment $37,299 Feasibility Study(RAA) _ 14,950 LCP Amendment 11,212 Zoning Map Amendment 9,733 Environmental Assessment 8,522 Zoning Text Amendment _ 15,178 Total $96,894 Note: These estimated costs assume use of a consultant rather than staff. Restricted Road Fund Expenditures As mentioned earlier, between gas tax funds and Measure M revenues, the City of Huntington Beach would receive $176,555 which is restricted for street maintenance and other transporta- tion improvements. This will be the funding source for maintaining 3.98 centerline road miles and 102 street lights. It is expected that the streetlights will likely be funded by the County, even the ones on Pacific Coast Highway. Regarding the five traffic signals, four of the traffic signals would require the City to pay 25% of the annual maintenance cost and the remaining traffic sig- nal would require a 50/50 split with Caltrans. Using the countywide per capita projections to Sunset Beach population, it is estimated that the County spends$118,501 on general right-of-way and street light maintenance for this communi- ty. It is assumed that City street maintenance expense will be similar to that spent by the County with the exception of a small additional expense for street sweeping which is performed twice a month throughout the City. With 3.98 centerline miles (7.96 curb miles) the additional cost for this service is estimated at $5,020 (7.96 x $26.28 x 24). This will increase street maintenance expense to $123,521. This means that there would be an approximate surplus restricted road revenue of $53,034 ($176,555 - $123,521) which can be used for other street maintenance functions that might be provided to this area, for one time capital road and bridge expenses for this area, or for other street maintenance costs throughout the City. Summary of Fiscal Impact It would appear that the annexation of the Sunset Beach community into Huntington Beach would have a generally beneficial financial impact on the City in terms of day-today operations. Except for a projected deficit in comparing only General Fund revenue to the estimated operat- ing expenditures based upon per capita projections, all other comparisons demonstrate an es- timated surplus of revenues over expenses. This may be necessary since there are unknown capital and one-time study expense that may associated with this potential annexation. A summary of this information from the tables presented earlier in this section is summarized in Table IX, entitled, "Summary of Annual Revenues/Expenditures, Sunset Beach Annexation, 2009— 10."

Future Financial Impacts Normally in this type of report. revenue and expenditure projections over a five, seven or ten year period would be provided. This would assist the policy-makers in determining the mid-term fiscal impact of the potential Sunset Beach annexation. In the annexation study for the 8u|au Chica Lnw|ando, for oxemnp|e, an annual inflation rate for franchise and utility user fees of 3.1 percent was used. It was also assumed that the assessed value upon which the property tax is based would increase the minimum of two percent per year. Given the current and near term economic o|inmata, it would be difficult to apply these standard inflationary tou1nro to this study. When reviewing the Property Transfer Tao revanua, for inshanoe, the projected income from that source declined several hundred thousand dollars from one year to the next. As a result, this report presents to the City a "snapshot" of the Sunset Beach fiscal irnpacd, not mid-or long-term forecast. N�� �^� U� ^����� m�=�Q�� m =w= ~ Page ����m� -530- Public Service an Infrastructure I To further meet the requirements of General Plan objective LU 3.1, this section addresses the potential public service and infrastructure impacts the annexation of Sunset Beach may have on the City of Huntington Beach. First will be a discussion of the public service implications of this potential annexation followed by its infrastructure impacts. Public Service Impacts As implied in much of the fiscal analysis, the impact of this potential annexation on the City's ability to provide public services to Sunset Beach as well as the City as a whole appears very limited. In terms of major direct service departments, and administrative management and sup- port offices, the proposed annexation should have little impact on the ability of these depart- ments and offices to provide adequate service to this small community while maintaining exist- ing service levels to the remainder of the City. These impacts are discussed in the following pa- ragraphs. Administration, City Attorney, City Treasurer, City Clerk, Economic Devel- opment, Finance, Human Resources, Information Services While there may be a slight increase in workload for each of these offices due to this potential annexation, these increases should be able to be absorbed in each office and not cause a need for any staff or budget increases. The only minor exception is the City Clerk's office where an additional polling place will be required every other year at an estimated average annual cost of $1,250 annually. Building & Safety and Planning The ongoing operating expense for Building & Safety and Planning should be minimal, with any increases in workload covered by the fees charged by these departments. For example, it is ex- pected that building permit applications for building modifications from the 685 dwelling units, businesses and other structures in this built-out community would pay for staff time spent re- viewing and inspecting these applications. Many of the Code Enforcement violations were prop- erty maintenance issues based on a windshield survey conducted by staff in July. Staff felt that the"potential impact on current code enforcement operations is believed to be minor." Planning and zoning permits also should require a minor amount of staff time, with that time covered by processing fees. There will be, however, one-time expenses involved in bringing Sunset Beach into the City in terms of studies required to update the City's General Plan, Local Coastal Program, amend the City's Zoning Map for the existing County Specific Plan, conduct an environmental assessment of the annexation, and prepare a Zoning Text Amendment. Based on staff input, the cost of these one-time studies and projects, if prepared by a consultant and not staff, is estimated at$96,894. Page 25 -531- Item 13. - Page 389 Community Services More of an impact on the provision of services will be on the Community Services Department. Among City Departments, it will experience the largest cost increase. This Department will be responsible for maintaining and providing marine services to 48 acres of beach. City staff sug- gests that the $333,000 contract for marine safety service be continued as well as the contract for the junior lifeguard program which County Parks plans to continue for another two years be- fore any annexation process can be completed. It is estimated that each maintenance will re- quire daytime operations and will cost an estimated $141,880. Staff assumes that the Orange County Sheriffs Harbor Patrol would remain in place in Hunting- ton Harbour, and that County Parks would retain control and oversight of the Sunset Aquatic Park. It is pointed out by staff that Sunset Beach participates with Huntington Beach and other beach cities in a sand replenishment program. There are 12 stages of the program, four or five years apart, with the County paying the Sunset Beach share. If annexation occurs, the-City would as- sume this cost, which is estimated at $1,250 annually as presented in the fiscal section of this report. Library Currently, Sunset Beach is served by the County Library System the revenue for which ($52,029) would transfer to the City upon annexation of this community. It is doubtful that the li- brary habits of Sunset Beach residents would change upon annexation. Their library use pat- terns would probably remain the same, such as using the County system, the City's libraries or other public libraries in the region. Thus, the service level impact on the City Library should be minimal. Public Safety Neither the Police nor Fire Departments expect that an increase in staffing will be required as a result of this potential annexation. It appears that the number of additional Part I Crimes which would be added to the Police Department's workload are minor compared to its overall work- load. The Department's patrol beats can be adjusted to patrol this area. The Department will, however, need to conduct traffic accident investigations along Pacific Coast Highway, a function currently being performed by the California Highway Patrol. There will be some additional animal care and control activity generated by this annexation. Since this service is already provided under contract with the County, there will not be any addi- tional workload on City staff, only an additional expense. The Fire Department already serves this area, either through automatic aid for fire and non- medical emergency calls, or under contract with the Orange County Fire Authority for medical emergency response (paramedics). This service is provided primarily from the Warner Avenue Fire Station, which is within 800 feet of the boundary with Sunset Beach. All of Sunset Beach is within the desired 1 '/2 mile response radius of that station. Page 26 Item 13. ® Page 390 -532- Public Works There will be some impacts on services provided by the Public Works Department.A 13-acre li- near park will become the responsibility of the Department. The maintenance of this park would be addressed by retaining existing contracts for landscape and janitorial maintenance, plus ad- ditional staff cost of$38,000 annually.Apparently, County Parks has just completed the rehabili- tation of five public restrooms in the park. As an aside, this community will exceed the City's General Plan's parks standard of five acres per 1,000 population. Sunset Beach has 10.6 parks acres per 1,000 population (13 acres/1,227). There is 3.98 centerline road miles for which the Department would assume maintenance re- sponsibility along with 102 street lights. The cost of maintaining the five traffic signals along Pa- cific Coast Highway will be shared between Caltrans and the City on either a 75/25% or a 50/50% split. The additional annual maintenance expense should be covered by the additional gas tax and Measure M funds which will be received by the City. There are other responsibilities which would be absorbed by the Department that will be dis- cussed in the following infrastructure section. These responsibilities involve a multi-agency dredging project initiated by the County Parks Department which involves Sunset Beach and surrounding areas including the City of Huntington Beach. Other infrastructure projections in- clude repair of the Broadway Bridge, a Rule 20A undergrounding of utilities project, and a prop- erty owner initiated undergrounding project requiring an assessment engineer. This latter project likely will require the City to assume a commitment made by the County to pay for the engi- neer's expense.The amount of this one-time cost is unknown. Water[Wastewater The City already provides water service to Sunset Beach, and currently applies a ten percent surcharge to the users in this community. If the area is annexed, then the water surcharge would evaporate. This would amount to a reduction in revenue to the Water Department of $23,151. At the July tAFCO meeting, the Commission decided that the Sunset Beach Sanitary District would continue to have its own Sphere of Influence, and would not be included in the City's Sphere. As a result direct wastewater service would still be provided by the District and not be- come an obligation of the City. Summary Except for one-time studies by Planning, additional marine services provided by the Community Services Department and maintenance services provided by that Department and Public Works, it would appear that there would be very little impact on services provided by the City's other departments and offices. In fact, this conclusion points to the efficiency that would be created by this potential annexation. Service can be extended to this small community without adding staff to major service components of the City, particularly Police and Fire. This result is aided by the fact that Sunset Beach is immediately adjacent to Huntington Beach and can easily be served by the City's two public safety departments. --- Page 27 -533- Item 13. - Page 391 wm i Infrastructure Impacts This section describes the impacts on infrastructure of the City, or infrastructure that the City Would assume if Huntington Beach annexed Sunset Beach. Generally, there do not appear to be any immediate major infrastructure problems or issues. However, there are certain potential future unknown costs in replacing or repairing these facilities. These infrastructure facilities are discussed below. Broadway Bridge Caltrans prepared a report, reviewed by Public Works, indicating that it would cost $800,000 to repair the Broadway Bridge in Sunset Beach. It is intended that the bulk of this repair cost would be through a grant from the State Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program (BPMP) with a re- quired local government match of $96,000. If the annexation occurred, this match would shift from the County to the City. The source of funds for the City's match would either be from Gas Tax or Measure M funds. Drainage The Orange County Parks Department has budgeted $150,000 in 2009-10 to plan a dredging project for the Sunset Harbor. The dredging work includes not only the Sunset Beach area but adjoining areas as well. County Parks is taking the lead in this project that is initially estimated to cost $1,500,000. It will be funded through a cost-sharing arrangement among the affected ju- risdictions. There will be an expense on the part of the City either with or without this annexa- tion. The amount of the City's share, however, could not be determined because the project is only approaching the initial planning stages. Fire Station Located in Sunset Beach, Orange County Fire Station #3 is a volunteer station owned by the Orange County Fire Authority. Staffed by Reserve Fire Fighters, Engine#3 received 51 calls in 2008, but only responded with qualified reserves twice during that year. At one point OCFA al- most closed the station. It has been suggested by the Community Association that the Fire Station be used either as a police substation or for lifeguards. However, since the station is owned by OCFA, discussions with that agency as well as an assessment of its potential best use would be necessary to gauge its future potential. Park Facilities The 13-acre linear park has one tot-lot and five restrooms. The tot-lot appears to be in suitable repair and the restrooms have just been restored by the County Parks Department. Streets and Roads There are 3.98 centerline miles of roads in Sunset Beach. Most of the traffic is on PCH which is the maintenance responsibility of Caltrans. The remainder of the Sunset Beach road system is Page 28 Item 13. - Page 392 -534- nufff l=e o o • o residential, and appears to be in satisfactory condition. It does not appear that the City would be inheriting any major street reconstruction projects if this annexation occurred. Underground Utilities A Rule 20A underground utility project along PCH is being pursued by Southern California Edi- son. This project is funded and permits are being issued. City staff expects that this project will begin and will be finished regardless of any annexation issues. There is also a property owner initiated undergrounding project along Park Avenue and Bayview which is in the process of collecting signatures so that the preliminary design phase can begin. As mentioned previously, the County made a commitment to provide an assessment engineer and staff support for the coordination of this project. The City would undoubtedly assume this responsibility if the annexation occurs. Water There is no known infrastructure issues related to the continued provision of water to this com- munity, or to the surrounding areas of the City if annexation were to occur. Wastewater Wastewater service will continue to be provided by Sunset Beach Sanitary District. Summary It appears that the annexation of Sunset Beach would have little impact on the City's basic in- frastructure such as water, wastewater, and streets. In many respects the City already provides services to the area(water,fire, library). Other Issues With the advent of the LAFCO Sphere of Influence study and LAFCO's subsequent action plac- ing the community into Huntington Beach's Sphere, the Sunset Beach Community Association developed a 13 point program, initially for discussion with the City of Seal Beach for the possible annexation by that City. These 13 points have now become talking points with the City of Hun- tington Beach. This does not mean that the Association supports this annexation. To the con- trary, the Association seems to prefer retaining its unincorporated status, or incorporating as a city, rather than annexing to Huntington Beach. In any event, the Association has retained a law firm to make sure they "would be treated fairly" according to a letter sent to those living in Sun- set Beach, dated November 1, 2009. The Association also has raised money to study the fiscal impact of incorporation. Nonetheless, if annexation took place, the Association would likely ask the City to support their "list of 13 key transfer items" which is viewed as a way to help Sunset Beach continue as a semi-independent beach community.A summary of these 13 key items include: 1. Maintain Sunset Beach's separate identity, including signage; Page 29 -535- (tern 13. - Page 393 • • e s o 2. Recognize the Sunset Beach Community Association as liaison with the City Coun- cil; 3. (a) Keep the Sunset Beach LCP with revisions to reflect the change from the County to the City, and (b) Submit new pertinent plans and information to the Sunset Beach local advisory board for review and comment; 4. Keep parking permits at the same price; 5. (a) Continue all encroachment programs for beach and waterways permitted by the LCP and (b) Transfer current files, permits and computer records from the County to the City; 6. Support use of the Fire Station by local police; 7. Maintain the Sunset Beach Sanitary District as an independent district; 8. Support the current Sunset Beach postal delivery system; 9. Have the City take over ownership and maintenance of the beach and greenbelt from the County; 10. Create a business license fee plan that would serve to limit the opening of future un- desirable businesses such as medical marijuana dispensaries, tattoo parlors, etc. 11. Confirm the County contract details for the contract Junior Lifeguard Program (in- cluding class size limits); 12. Gain assurance that the Rule 20A undergrounding project will be continued and completed in a timely manner; and 13. Obtain funds from the County to repave the numbered streets between North and South Pacific, and to finish the five restrooms in the greenbelt. These items were discussed with the Mayor and City Manager at the September Association meeting. Obviously, there are some of these issues like another public use of the OCFA fire sta- tion that would require additional homework to determine the possible best use of this facility. The perspective of the OCFA regarding this property would need to be obtained. Whether or not a business license fee would limit "undesirable"firms desiring to open in Sunset Beach may be more appropriately a land use issue than a business license fee issue. Some of the items on the list have already been completed such as the park restroom renova- tion and what appears to be the funding and permitting of the Rule 20A underground utility project along PCH. The Sunset Beach Sanitary District will remain as an independent district based on last summer's LAFCO action. Nevertheless, unofficial discussions with the Association by the Mayor and executive staff have indicated an interest in recognizing the Association as a liaison with the City Council. Also, there was a willingness expressed to create a MOU with the Association to memorialize their 13 points or issues. There may be a concern by the Association about losing community identity by becoming part of the City.. However, if this identity can be retained through an MOU, there are many benefits Page 30 Item 13. ® Page 394 -536- Huntington Beach can bring to the community. These include well established municipal servic- es, such as police, fire, public works, and community services, with the government offices pro- viding service located nearby. The City may be able to provide what would be perceived by the community as a more desirable regulatory environment when it comes to controlling undesirable uses. There would be some cost savings to the community as well since the ten percent water surcharge would be eliminated if Sunset Beach annexed to the City. -in any event, the Association in their November 1st letter expressed the hope that the City would "wait until we complete our citizen-funded incorporation feasibility study before taking an annexation vote." Actually, if the Association is able to promptly engage a firm to examine the numbers in this report and in the LAFCO SOI financial analysis, they should be able to assess the prospects of incorporation in roughly the same time frame as the City's consideration of an- nexing Sunset Beach. - ------------Page 31 -537- Item 13. ® Page 395 BEER Annexation Process The third feature of this report is to outline the procedures related to the possible annexation of Sunset Beach to Huntington Beach. Annexations, detachments, consolidations and other forms of governmental reorganization are overseen by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) of each county. Established in 1963, LAFCOs have the authority to approve annexa- tions per Sections 560000 et. seq. of the California Government Code. As mentioned at the beginning of this report, state law, Orange County and the local LAFCO encourage the elimination of unincorporated "islands" due to the inefficiency and cost of large counties providing municipal services to these small areas. Additionally, pursuant to Govern- ment Code Section 56425, LAFCO is required, as a planning tool to-identify logical municipal service providers for areas throughout the County and to establish Spheres of Influence for all cities and special districts. As part of this mandate, the LAFCO Commission recently included the Sunset Beach community into Huntington Beach's Sphere of Influence (SOI). Because of the size of the Sunset Beach community (under 150 acres), the area-may be annexed into the City of Huntington Beach under the streamlined process provided for small island annexations. Further, because Sunset Beach is within the Huntington Beach SOI, it may only be annexed to the City of Huntington Beach, not to any other city. Alternative options for the area include in- corporation or remaining incorporated, although the feasibility of these options would need to be explored further. Since Sunset Beach is an unincorporated "island" (less than 150 acres), its annexation can oc- cur under the provisions of Government Code Section 56375.3. This means that LAFCO shall approve the annexation if initiated by the City without resident protest. Within this context, this section outlines the steps required for this annexation to occur, along with possible land use planning actions that the City may want to pursue. Steps Toward Annexation If the City of Huntington Beach determines that it would be advantageous to annex Sunset Beach, the steps summarized in the following paragraphs would need to be followed. 1. The City of Huntington Beach would submit an application to the Orange County LAFCO which should contain the following information and related materials: ® LAFCO processing fees (may be waived for island annexations); • Justification of Proposal Questionnaire; ® A Plan for Services; • CEQA documents(this may involve a Negative Declaration or less); 151 Page 32 Item 13. ® Page 396 -538- a f t f Y f • Resolutions by the affected agencies agreeing to a transfer/split of the ad valorem property tax revenues generated in the subject territory'; • Prezoning3; and • Indemnification agreement signed by the applicant. 2. Within 30 days of the application LAFCO sends a status letter notifying the City that the application is either complete or incomplete. 3. Approximately 30 days after the submission of the application: • LAFCO notices the County Assessor of the proposal; • The Assessor determines which Tax Rate Areas (TRA) are involved and calculates the total assessed valuation (AV)of the affected territory; • The Assessor issues a report of the TRAs and AV to the County Auditor; • The Auditor determines the total property tax revenues for the area proposed for annexation and issues a report to the City and the County of the total revenues involved 4; and • The City and County are notified that they have 60 days to reach an agreement on the transfer of property tax revenue from the County to the City, although the Master Property Tax Agreement can be used for this purpose. 4. Upon determination by the LAFCO Executive Officer that the application is complete, the Executive Officer issues a Certificate of Filing and sets a hearing date for the proposal. 5. LAFCO notices and holds a public hearing on the proposed annexation and its Commission takes one of the following actions: • Approves the application subject to terms and conditions; or 2 This is already addressed in the Master Property Tax Agreement between the City and the County, al- though both agencies could negotiate a different property tax exchange for this area if this were their in- tent. 3 A resolution is required that specifies the planned land use for this area prior to a hearing on this annex- ation by the LAFCO Commission. While the existing zoning and Specific Plan could be used for this re- quirement, the City would need to first modify its Zoning Map as part of this Prezoning requirement. 4 These revenues have already been estimated as part of the LAFCO Sphere of Influence report and are used in this fiscal analysis.The Auditor-Controller, however, will still complete the precise and official final amount as part of the formal annexation process. --- Page 33 -539- Item 13. - Page 397 ® Approves the application with modifications and subject to terms and conditions5. 6. Within 35 days of the hearing, LAFCO adopts a resolution making determinations and approving the application and sends a copy of the resolution to the applicant. 7. Normally, at this point, if the application is approved, LAFCO sets a protest hearing for the annexation. However, for small island annexations state law requires that the LAFCO Commission approve the annexation and waive the protest proceedings. 8. If the annexation is ordered. LAFCO sends a Certificate of Completion to the County Recorder's Office,following a 30-day reconsideration period, and upon satisfaction of all terms and conditions in the resolution ordering the annexation. 9. Upon recordation, LAFCO sends documents and fees, which are paid by the appli- cant, to the State Board of Equalization for the purpose of alternating their TRAs to reflect the change of organization. One requirement of the initial LAFCO application is to "prezone"the area prior to consideration of the annexation application by the LAFCO Commission. Probably the most expeditious me- thod to accomplish a prezoning is to use the existing County zoning. Possibly useful to this process is an already adopted County Specific Plan for Sunset Beach. Still, the City Zoning Map would need to be revised to be extended to the Sunset Beach community as part of the prezon- ing process before this possible annexation could be considered by the LAFCO Commission. It should be noted that state law requires that zoning designated during the prezoning process remain in place for two years. The area also has a Local Coastal Plan (LCP), albeit one that was adopted some years ago. While the annexation is proceeding and subsequently after the annexation is accomplished, var- ious studies can be completed to accomplish, if needed, a more conforming zoning pattern for the area. From the City's perspective, the only requirement for this annexation prior to any action by the City Council is an annexation feasibility study required by the City's General Plan, including a fiscal and operational analysis. This requirement of the General Plan is met by this study and report. Although not required prior to annexation, there are other planning entitlements that should be considered. These include: 1. General Plan Amendment to establish land use. 2. A Local Coastal Program Amendment which was adopted in 1990. The City would need to amend its LCP to include this new area which will then become the City's zoning for Sunset Beach. Also a Zoning Text Amendment to formally adopt the Spe- cific Plan would be required. 5 The LAFCO Commission does not have the discretion to deny an application for an island annexation initiated by the City. Page 34 Item 13. ® Page 398 -540- r r r r • Coastal staff informed the City that, other than normal coastal resource issues, "one recurring issue (in Sunset Beach) ...has been ...requests from property owners to convert visitor serving commercial sites to residential," according to City staff notes. Apparently neither Coastal nor County staff have supported these requests. One of the concerns of the Sunset Beach Community Association is what they view as undesir- able land uses such as medical marijuana dispensaries,tattoo parlors, etc.While their concerns have been expressed in the context of desiring regulation through the business license tax, such uses can be controlled through land use regulations. Addressing these and other land use issues, plus the apparent desire of the Association to otherwise maintain their LCP and Specific Plans is an important dialogue that should occur with residents of the Sunset Beach community. This would suggest conducting community meetings, possibly with a facilitator, in reviewing the community's plans and planning for the future of the City if the annexation is pursued.

The property is currently located within the jurisdiction of the County of Orange. General Plan Amendment No. 10-002 represents a request for the following (Attachment No. 2): A. Amend the General Plan Land Use Map (Figure LU-5)to establish General Plan land use designations for the Sunset Beach area as follows - approximately 22.3 acres for Residential High Density-30, 9.2 acres for Visitor Serving Commercial-Mixed Use Overlay, 13.0 acres for Public, 3.4 acres for Open Space-Water Recreation and 57.7 acres for Open Space-Shoreline. The remainder of the area is right- of-way. The entire area would also have a Specific Plan Overlay. The proposed City of Huntington Beach General Plan land use designations mirror those of the existing County of Orange Land Use Plan for Sunset Beach. B. Designate the Sunset Beach area as Subarea 4L on the Community District and Subarea Schedule (Figure LU-6 and Table LU-4) C. Amend Table LU-3 to add a reference to"specific plans" for the Mixed Use Overlay. D. Update figures to reflect the change in the City's boundary E. Make minor wording changes to the Utility Element F. Update the Recreation and Community Services Element to reflect updated recreational amenity information. Zoning Text Amendment No. 10-002 represents a request to create the Sunset Beach Specific Plan (Specific Plan 17) that will provide development standards for the Specific Plan area pursuant to Chapter 215 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (ZSO). The Sunset Beach area is currently governed by a County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan. The proposed City of Huntington Beach Specific Plan proposes to maintain the intent of the existing Specific Plan in terms of land use plan, districts and regulations(Attachment No. 7). Zoning Map Amendment No. 10-001 represents a request to amend the City of Huntington Beach Zoning Map to pre-zone the Sunset Beach area with the Sunset Beach Specific Plan and a Coastal Zone Overlay pursuant to Chapter 247 of the ZSO. Pre-zoning is required for annexation to be approved (Attachment No. 4). Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 10-001 represents a request for the following(Attachment No. 5), pursuant to Chapter 247 of the ZSO: A. Amend the City of Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan to: 1) amend the certified Land Use Plan (Figure C-5) to establish City Land Use Designations for the Sunset Beach area consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designations described above, including designating it as Subarea 4L on the Community District and Subarea.Schedule (Figure C-10 and Table C-2); 2) amend Land Use Plan Table C-1 to add a reference to "specific plans" for the Mixed Use Overlay; and 3) amend various text sections of the Land Use Plan to include descriptions of the Sunset Beach area and update the figures to reflect the change in City boundary. B, Amend the Implementation Plan to reflect the Zoning Map Amendment and Zoning Text Amendment described above. PC Staff Report—09/28/10 -5- 10sr59 ANX;GPA;ZTA;ZMA;LCPA,ND(Sunset Beach) ®551- Item 13. ® Page 409 Draft Negative Declaration No. 10-005 analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with the General Plan Amendment, Zoning Text Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, Local Coastal Program Amendment and annexation of Sunset Beach(Attachment No. 8). The proposed entitlements establish City of Huntington Beach General Plan, Local Coastal Program and zoning designations for Sunset Beach if it is annexed to the City of Huntington Beach. Due to the unique character and built out nature of the community, a specific plan is proposed to best carry forward the community-established goals for the area. The Sunset Beach area is currently regulated by a County of Orange specific plan. City staff has annotated the County's specific plan to indicate which sections of that specific plan have been carried forward into the City's proposed document and where they are located in the document (Attachment No. 6). The proposed entitlements do not propose or require any development activity. They are necessary for the City to annex Sunset Beach, which the City believes will result in a more efficient provision of municipal services and not have a negative fiscal impact on the City. The Local Coastal Program Amendment is subject to review and approval by the California Coastal Commission, which approval must occur in order for the proposed zoning and land use designations to be in effect from a regulatory perspective. Background: The County of Orange approved the Sunset Beach Specific Plan/Local Coastal Program in 1981, and it was certified by the California Coastal Commission in 1983. The County of Orange approved an Addendum to the Sunset Beach Specific Plan/Local Coastal Program in 1990,which was certified by the California Coastal Commission in 1991. In 2009,the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission(LAFCO)placed the unincorporated Sunset Beach area in the City of Huntington Beach's Sphere of Influence thereby allowing for potential annexation of the area to the City. In 2009 and 2010, City representatives attended Sunset Beach Community Association meetings regarding possible annexation. On August 2, 2010, the City Council directed staff to proceed with the annexation process and associated entitlements and established a Sunset Beach Area Council Committee (SBACC). The SBACC held its first meeting on August 25th. The SBACC held its second meeting on September 14th and began discussion on a list of items that the Sunset Beach Community Association would like to be included as part of the annexation agreement and/or adopted by the City Council (Attachment No. 11). Items 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 13, and 14 are addressed all or in part in the proposed project entitlements. Sunset Beach representatives, City Council Committee members and staff are continuing discussions on all of the items. Study Sessions: Three Planning Commission study sessions have been held in 2010. On August 10th, the overall project was introduced; on August 24th, the proposed Specific Plan was reviewed; on September 14th the draft Negative Declaration was reviewed. The Study Session Reports include a detailed review of the August 2010 draft Specific Plan and other project components and are incorporated herein by reference. A courtesy notice for the entire study session schedule, as well as the overall project schedule,was sent to all Post Office Box holders at the Sunset Beach Post Office and to property owners in Sunset Beach as well as interested parties, and was posted at the Sunset Beach Post Office bulletin board.

The remainder of the approximately 134 acre area is right-of-way. The entire area would have a Specific Plan Overlay and be designated as Subarea 4L on the General Plan Community District and Subarea Schedule. In addition, the General Plan Amendment request includes amending Table LU-3 to add a reference to "specific plans" for the Mixed Use Overlay, updating figures to reflect the change in the City's boundary, making minor wording changes to the Utility Element and updating the Recreation and Community Services Element to reflect updated recreational amenity data. PC Staff Report—09/28/10 -7- 10sr59 ANX;GPA;ZTA;ZMA;LCPA,ND(Sunset Beach) -553- Item 13. ® Page 411 The proposed project is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the City's General Plan as follows: A. Land Use Element Goal LU 3: Achieve the logical, orderly, and beneficial expansion of the City's services and jurisdictional limits. Obiective LU 3.1: Ensure that any proposed annexation is consistent with the overall objectives and does not adversely impact fiscal or environmental resources, and public services and infrastructure of the City of Huntington Beach. Policy L U 3.1.1: Require that any lands proposed for annexation are contiguous with the City. Policy LU 3.1.2: Require that the existing and future land uses located within the proposed annexation area are compatible with the adjacent City land uses. Policy LU 3.1.4: Require that the proposed annexation areas generate a sufficient tax base or other revenue base to pay for their required or necessary City services. Policy LU 3.1.5: Require that the infrastructure and service provision to the proposed annexation areas will not create a burden on existing City services and infrastructure. Program I-LU 23: Annexation Feasibility Study Upon receipt of a request for annexation, the City shall conduct an"annexation feasibility study"to determine whether the proposed annexation: a. is adjacent to existing corporate boundaries; b. contains or will contain land uses that are compatible with City land uses; C. contains or will contain land uses that have the ability to provide economic benefit to the City; d. would place an undue or excessive burden on the City's or other service provider's ability to provide services; and e. would place an undue burden on school and other public services. The annexation area is located within an unincorporated area of Orange County that is bordered on the east and south by the City of Huntington Beach. The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan allows for residential and commercial development that is compatible with the existing residential and commercial uses in the Huntington Harbour area to the east. The open space areas, waterway and beach, are consistent with existing adjacent uses. City services such as Fire and Police Department services will be provided to the area by the City after annexation. Negative Declaration No. 10-005 reviewed the additional demand that will be placed on these services by the proposed annexation and found that both departments have the capacity to meet the additional burden with a less than significant impact. Other service providers such as schools will not change with project implementation. The City of Huntington Beach already provides water to the area and this will remain unchanged after annexation. The Sunset Beach Sanitary District will continue to provide local sewer service as it does now. PC Staff Report—09/28/10 -8- I Osr59 ANX;GPA;ZTA;ZMA;LCPA,ND(Sunset Beach) Item 13. ® Page 412 -554- An annexation study on the fiscal impacts of the project on the City was prepared for the City. The study concluded that annexation of the Sunset Beach area would result in a revenue surplus for the City. The study was reviewed and approved by the City Council and has been peer-reviewed on behalf of LAFCO (Attachment No. 10). Policy LU 15.1.1: Require the formulation, adoption, and implementation of Specific Plans for areas designated with a "Specific Plan Overlay(-sp)." This overlay provides greater specificity for the uses permitted and their design than defined for the underlying land use zone. Polio LU 15.7.1: Allow the development of residential uses in conjunction with the underlying commercial designations. The Mixed Use overlay permits the development of horizontally or vertically integrated mixed use projects. Obiective L U 16.1: Provide for the differentiation of the City's neighborhoods, boulevards, and districts by their functional role, uses, form, scale, and character of development. Policy LU 16.1.1: Accommodate development of the City's neighborhoods, boulevards, and districts according to the Community Districts and Subareas Schedule. The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan carries forward the existing County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan's overall goals, land uses and development standards. It provides for cohesive development standards in recognition of the unique characteristics of the Sunset Beach area, which is almost fully developed. The proposed amendments provide for the continuation of allowing residential uses on the upper floor of commercial establishments in the Sunset Beach Tourist district. B. Economic Development Element Policy ED 2.6.2: Encourage visitor supported commercial development to concentrate in selected areas of the City,thereby creating identifiable visitor-oriented centers. Policy ED 3.2.2: Encourage mixed use (retail/office/residential) structures in the downtown area and at the visitor-serving nodes along Pacific Coast Highway. The proposed Specific Plan includes the existing Specific Plan's designation of the visitor(and local) serving commercial area, known as Sunset Beach Tourist. Within this area mixed use development (allowing residential use on upper floors) is allowed. C, Housing Element Policy 1.1: Preserve the character, scale and quality of established residential neighborhoods. The residentially designated area of Sunset Beach is not proposed to be changed in the proposed Specific Plan. The development standards for residential uses remain the same as well in order to preserve the character, scale and quality of the residential neighborhoods. PC Staff Report—09/28/10 -9- 10sr59 ANX;GPA;ZTA;ZMA;LCPA,ND(Sunset Beach) -555- Item 13. - Page 413 D. Circulation Element Goal CE 7: Maintain and enhance the visual quality and scenic views along designated corridors. The proposed Specific Plan carries forward existing policies that designate the portion of Pacific Coast Highway in the Sunset Beach area as a scenic highway as well as preserves the scenic vista viewpoints as designated in the County's existing Specific Plan. E. Recreation and Community Services Element Goal RCS 2: Provide adequately sized and located active and passive parklands to meet the recreational needs of existing and future residents, and to preserve natural resources within the City of Huntington Beach and its sphere of influence. Policy RCS 2.1.1: Maintain the current park per capita ratio of 5.0 acres per 1,000 persons, which includes the beach in the calculation. The proposed project includes an amendment to-the Recreation and Community Services Element of the General Plan to update text and figures to reflect the existing beach and park amenities in Sunset Beach as well as to add to and correct the open space and park facilities inventory since the 1996 General Plan update was approved. With the annexation of the Sunset Beach area to the City of Huntington Beach the City will exceed the park per capita ratio. F. Utilities Element Goal U 2: Provide a wastewater collection and treatment system which is able to support permitted land uses; upgrade existing deficient systems; and pursue funding sources to reduce costs of wastewater service provision in the City. The project includes an amendment to the Utilities Element of the General Plan to add reference to the Sunset Beach Sanitary District,which provides local sewer service to the Sunset Beach area. The District will continue in its current function after annexation and has a system that is able to support the permitted land uses in the area. G. Environmental Resources/Conservation Element Obiective ERC 1.1: Provide a quality open space network that is spatially distributed throughout all areas of the City. Policy ERC 4.1.5: Promote the preservation of public view corridors to the ocean and the waterfront through strict application of local ordinances, design guidelines and related planning efforts, including defined view corridors. Policy ERC 6.1.5: Require incorporation of controls in new development and redevelopment projects, including structural and non-structural Best Management Practices(BMPs), to mitigate the projected increases in pollutant loads and flows. PC Staff Report—09/28/10 -t0- I Osr59 ANX;GPA;ZTA;ZMA;LCPA,ND(Sunset Beach) Item 13. ® Page 414 -55C® The proposed Specific Plan carries forward existing policies that preserve the main beach as well as the small beach at 1lth Street and Pacific Coast Highway and the greenbelt/linear park. The Specific Plan preserves the scenic vista viewpoints as designated in the County's existing Specific Plan. The proposed Plan also includes a water quality section, which indicates that new development would be required to comply with National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements, which include BMPs in an effort to reduce or eliminate pollutant loads and flows. H. Environmental Hazards Element Objective EH 4.1: Ensure that the City's flood prevention standards and practices provide satisfactory safeguards for public and private development. Although none of the areas that allow for residential or commercial development in Sunset Beach have a floodplain designation that would-typically require floodproofing,the County of Orange adopted a Coastal Flood Plain Development Study that is applicable to the homes along South Pacific Avenue because tidal flooding does occur. The City's proposed Specific Plan discusses the flooding issue and incorporates the County Study by reference. New development would continue to have to adhere to the Study's requirements as well as the City of Huntington Beach ZSO. Zoning Compliance: The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan will establish new zoning for the Sunset Beach area. The proposed Specific Plan identifies five districts, similar to the County's existing Specific Plan, as follows: Sunset Beach Residential, Sunset Beach Tourist, Sunset Beach Parking Facility, Sunset Beach Beach Area and Sunset Beach Waterways. There are no changes proposed to the properties as they are currently designated by the County. The development standards for the Sunset Beach Specific Plan vary considerably from those of the ZSO. In general, the County's standards are more permissive, resulting in a denser development pattern,which is likely in recognition of the small lot sizes and limited area for development. The differences in standards between the City Zoning Ordinance and the proposed Specific Plan's (existing County Specific Plan)zoning requirements for residential and commercial uses and parking are summarized in two tables below. Overall, staff is not recommending that the standards be modified. The lot sizes, alley configurations and public uses that are interspersed within the community make compliance with many of the standards used in Huntington Beach impractical or such that they would be too constraining on development. The Sunset Beach Community Association has not requested that the standards for residential and commercial development be modified, though there are a few clarification amendments that are proposed as result of conversation with community members and a review by City staff.

PC Staff Report—09/28/10 -13- I Osr59 ANX;GPA;ZTA;ZMA;LCPA,ND(Sunset Beach) -559- Item 13. - Page 417 Environmental Status: A draft Negative Declaration was prepared for the proposed project pursuant to Section 240.04 of the HBZSO and the provisions of the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) (Attachment No. 8). The draft Negative Declaration concludes that the proposed project will not result in any significant adverse environmental effects. The 30-day public review period for the document began on August 12, 2010 and ended on September 10, 2010. Five comment letters (Attachment No. 9) were received during the public comment period from the California Department of Transportation, California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Native American Heritage Commission, Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission and Mr. Lyman Lokken, a resident and property owner in Sunset Beach. A discussion of each of the comment letters is provided below. California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) Comments: The CalTrans comment letter provides information on the Department's encroachment permit process, should any work be proposed in the vicinity of their right-of-way. The City is aware of the CalTrans' encroachment permit process. No changes are required to the draft Negative Declaration as a result of the information in the comment letter. California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Comments: The RWQCB comment letter consists of five comments on the Draft Specific Plan, which is an attachment to the Negative Declaration. There are no comments on the analysis in the Negative Declaration itself. Planning and Public Works staff have reviewed the comments, which suggest clarifying text, and have made changes to the draft Specific Plan as a result. However, staff does not think that it is necessary to add more information to the Specific Plan on Best Management Practices(BMPs) given that they are site and project specific, can vary greatly, and are guided by the Permit issued by the RWQCB, which is amended on a regular basis. No changes are required to the draft Negative Declaration as a result of the information in the comment letter. Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Comments: The NAHC comment letter indicates that as a result of a Sacred Lands File search in their inventory, no Native American Cultural Resources were identified within one-half mile of the subject project. There are, however, considerable Native American Cultural Resources in close proximity to the area. The comment letter provides a list of Native American contacts and indicates that avoidance of cultural resources should be considered during project planning. The proposed project does not propose any development and no known resources exist within Sunset Beach. The City initiated consultation with the Native American contacts on August 13, 2010, two contacts have responded and indicated that they do not have concerns with the proposed project. No changes are required to the draft Negative Declaration as a result of the information in the comment letter. Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission Comments: The LAFCO comment letter indicates that they are a responsible agency for the annexation and that they do not have any comments on the Negative Declaration. No changes are required to the draft Negative Declaration as a result of their comment. Mr. Lyman Lokken Comments: Mr. Lokken's comment letter consists of five comments on the draft Negative Declaration and one comment on an attachment to the document. The first three comments provide information on text references and data in the document. With regard to the size of the annexation area, the City has had a legal description completed, which results in an acreage number that is consistent with one of the numbers provided in Mr. Lokken's letter. The Negative Declaration has been updated accordingly. Staff has also updated the text of the Negative Declaration based on the other PC Staff Report—09/28/10 -14- 1 Osr59 ANX;GPA;ZTA;ZMA;LCPA,ND(Sunset Beach) Item 13. m Page 418 -560- information he provided. The fourth comment is regarding provisions of police services after annexation. Additional information and data regarding the Police Department's operations have been added to the Negative Declaration. The last comment on the Negative Declaration appears to be a point of information but does not necessitate a change to the document. The final comment has been included in the proposed Local Coastal Program Amendment changes in Attachment No. 5. The changes to Negative Declaration No. 10-005 are provided in an Errata, which is included in Attachment No. 8. Environmental Board Comments: The Environmental Board was notified of the Negative Declaration and staff attended the Environmental Board meeting at which the Board discussed the proposed project. The Environmental Board did not submit a comment letter. Prior to any action on General Plan Amendment No. 10-002, Zoning Text Amendment No. 10-002, Zoning Map Amendment No. 10-001, Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 10-001 and Annexation No. 10-001, it is necessary for the Planning Commission to review and act on Negative Declaration No. 10-005. Staff, in its initial study of the project, is recommending that the negative declaration be approved with findings. Coastal Status: -- The project area is located within the Coastal Zone. Because the area is currently located within the jurisdiction of Orange County it is not included within the City of Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program. The project includes a request to amend the City's Local Coastal Program to include this area in its Local Coastal Program and to incorporate the other components of this project, e.g. rezoning and Specific Plan adoption. The Local Coastal Program Amendment will be forwarded to the California Coastal Commission for approval after City Council action. The proposed project complies with Coastal Zone requirements, and will implement the following policies of the City's Local Coastal Program Land ��Use Plan(Coastal Element of the General Plan): Goal C 1: Develop a land use plan for the Coastal Zone that protects and enhances coastal resources, promotes public access and balances development with facility needs. olicy C 1.1.8: The City shall, at a minimum,consider the following when evaluating annexation proposals in the Coastal Zone: 1. Is the area to be annexed adjacent to existing corporate boundaries? 2, Does/will the area to be annexed contain land uses that are compatible with City land uses? 3. Does/will the area to be annexed contain land uses that have the ability to provide economic benefit to the City? 4. Would the area to be annexed place an undue burden or excessive burden on the City's or other service provider's ability to provide services? 5. Would the area to be annexed place an undue burden on school and other public services? Goal C 2: Provide coastal resource access opportunities to the public where feasible and in accordance with California Coastal Act requirements. Obiective C 2.5: Maintain and enhance, where feasible, existing shoreline and coastal resource access sites. PC Staff Report—09/28/10 -15- 1 Osr59 ANX;GPA;ZTA;ZMA;LCPA,ND(Sunset Beach) -561- Item 13. ® Page 419 Obiective C 2.7: Promote public awareness of existing access opportunities to coastal resources. Policy C 2.2.6: Provide adequate bike racks at appropriate locations within the Coastal Zone with special emphasis for facilities adjacent to the beach. Policy C 3.2.4: Encourage the provision of a variety of visitor-serving commercial establishments within the Coastal Zone, including,but not limited to, shops,restaurants,hotels and motels, and day spas. Policy C 4.2.3: Promote the preservation of significant public view corridors to the coastal corridor, including views of the sea and the wetlands through strict application of local ordinances, design guidelines and related planning efforts, including defined view corridors. Obiective C 4.3: Promote designated coastal roadways as scenic corridors Policy C 4.4.4: Develop implementation programs that will preserve and maintain the physical features of the wetlands, bluffs, and beaches. Policy C 4.5.1: Prohibit new billboards within the Coastal Zone and require removal of all existing billboards along Pacific Coast Highway as properties are developed. Policy C 6.1.6: It is the policy of the City to recognize the value of watershed based planning efforts in achieving coastal and marine water quality and resource protection goals of the LUP...The City shall require that new development and redevelopment, as appropriate, employ non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) and structural BMPs designed to minimize the volume, velocity and pollutant load of stormwater runoff...To this end, the City shall continue implementation of the Municipal Stormwater National Pollution Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)permit... Policy C 10.1.14: During major redevelopment or initial construction, require specific measures to be taken by developers, builders or property owners in flood prone areas to prevent or reduce damage from flooding and the risks upon human safety. The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan carries forward the existing County of Orange Sunset Beach Local Coastal Program/Specific Plan's overall goals, land uses and development standards. It provides for cohesive development standards in recognition of the unique characteristics of the Sunset Beach area, which includes a significant amount of area designated for public use. The proposed Specific Plan, similar to the existing Specific Plan, provides for a variety of visitor-serving commercial businesses. As discussed under the General Plan Conformance Land Use Element section above, annexation of the Sunset Beach area to the City is also consistent with the LCP policy regarding annexation. The project maintains the existing coastal access points and signage provisions for coastal access signs detailed in the existing County of Orange Specific Plan but adds new requirements for new commercial and multi-family development to provide for on-site bicycle parking, consistent with the City's existing Local Coastal Program. The proposed Specific Plan carries forward existing County policies that designate the portion of Pacific Coast Highway in the Sunset Beach area as a scenic highway as well as preserves the scenic vista viewpoints as designated in the County's existing Specific Plan and prohibits new billboards. It provides for maintenance and preservation of the beach and artificial dune consistent with ongoing operations. The proposed Specific Plan includes a new water quality section, emphasizing the importance of protecting water quality consistent with Regional Water Quality Control Board regulations and requires PC Staff Report—09/28/10 -16- 1 Osr59 ANX;GPA;ZTA;ZMA;LCPA,ND(Sunset Beach) Item 13. - Page 42 -562- that new homes/structures constructed along South Pacific Avenue continue to comply with floodproofing requirements. Redevelopment Status: Not applicable. Design Review Board: Not applicable. Subdivision Committee: Not applicable. Other Departments Concerns and Requirements: The Departments of Administration_,_Planning and Building, Fire, Police, Community Services and Public Works analyzed annexation of the property for an Annexation Feasibility Study prepared for the City Council. City departments have also commented on the preparation of the Draft Specific Plan. Public Notification: Legal notices were published in the Huntington Beach/Fountain Valley Independent and the Seal Beach Sun on September 16, 2010 and September 17, 2010, respectively, and notices were sent to all Post Office Box holders at the Sunset Beach Post Office, Sunset Beach property owners, property owners of record and occupants within a 500 ft. radius of the subject property, individuals/organizations requesting notification (Planning Department's Notification Matrix), and interested parties. In addition, notice was posted on the bulletin board of the Sunset Beach Post Office. As of September 21, 2010, one communication supporting or opposing the request has been received in response to the hearing notice (Attachment No. 12). Application Processin-Dates: DATE OF COMPLETE APPLICATION MANDATORY PROCESSING DATE August 2, 2010 ■ Draft ND: Within 180 days of complete application: January 29, 2011 ■ Legislative Action: Not Applicable ANALYSIS: This section reviews the impacts of the proposed annexation on City services, land use compatibility, the amendments to the General Plan and Local Coastal Program, the proposed Specific Plan, and the environmental impacts associated with the proposed project. Annexation The City's General Plan requires the preparation of an Annexation Feasibility Study to determine whether a proposed annexation is compatible with City land uses, has the ability to provide economic benefit to the City and whether the proposed annexation would place an undue or excessive burden on the City and/or School Districts' ability to provide public services for the site. The City prepared such a study (Attachment No. 10) to analyze whether annexation of the Sunset Beach area would create a financial burden on the City. The report determined that annexation would result in revenues that will exceed PC Staff Report—09/28/10 -17- 10sr59 ANX;GPA;ZTA;ZMA;LCPA,ND(Sunset Beach) -563- Item 13. © Page 421 expenditures for the City and that the proposed annexation would not place an undue or excessive burden for the provision of services. The Specific Plan area is presently served by the Huntington Beach Union High School and the Ocean View School District both of which will continue to serve the site after annexation. The potential impacts on the provision of public services including City Fire and Police Departments' services were analyzed within Negative Declaration No. 10-005. The environmental document concludes that the site would be adequately served by existing resources within both departments. The City already provides water to Sunset Beach; local sewer service is provided by the Sunset Beach Sanitary District. Service delivery for both water and sewer will not change with the annexation. Land Use Compatibility The proposed project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan is consistent with the Orange County Local Coastal Program/Specific Plan for Sunset Beach. No change in use is proposed for any property in the annexation area. The proposed Specific Plan allows for residential, commercial, and recreational/open space uses consistent with existing development in and adjacent to Sunset Beach and, as such, results in compatible land uses. General Plan Amendment The project includes amendments to the Land Use Element, Recreation and Community Services Element and Utilities Element of the General Plan as described in the Project Proposal section of this report. The changes to the Land Use Element provide City land use designations for Sunset Beach consistent with-the established land uses in the area and the newly created Sub-area designation is in recognition of the proposed Specific Plan for the area. The Recreation and Community Services Element is being updated to incorporate facilities/resources in Sunset Beach as well as update the inventory citywide to reflect corrected acreage information and new parks that have been constructed since the General Plan was updated in 1996. Since the August 1 Oth Planning Commission Study Session report was distributed, which contained a draft of the proposed General Plan pages to be amended, staff has updated the proposed changes to the Recreation and Community Services Element to reflect the revised acreage information for the beach in Sunset Beach, added two new parks to the citywide inventory(Triangle Park in the downtown and Banning/Magnolia park, a passive green space at that intersection), and changed the name Sunset Beach Linear Park to Sunset Beach Greenbelt on the list for Table RCS 1. As discussed in the General Plan Conformance section of this report, the proposed amendments are consistent with the City's General Plan. Local Coastal Program Amendment The project includes a request to amend the City's Local Coastal Program to include the Sunset Beach area in its Local Coastal Program and to incorporate the other components of this project, e.g. rezoning and Specific Plan adoption. The changes to the Land Use Plan provide City land use designations for Sunset Beach consistent with the established land uses in the area. The text changes to the City's Coastal Element add discussion regarding Sunset Beach so that it is integrated into the City's Land Use Plan and includes updated tables and texts. Since the August 101h Planning Commission Study Session report was distributed,which contained a draft of the proposed Coastal Element pages to be amended, staff has updated the proposed changes to reflect the revised acreage information for the beach in Sunset Beach, PC Staff Report—09/28/10 -18- 1 Osr59 ANX;GPA;ZTA;ZMA;LCPA,ND(Sunset Beach) Item 13. a Page 422 -564- updated the proposed changes to reflect the revised acreage information for the beach in Sunset Beach, corrected the parking number, changed the name Sunset Beach Linear Park to Sunset Beach Greenbelt and added information regarding improvements by the Sunset Beach Sanitary District. As discussed in the Coastal Status section of this report, the proposed amendments are consistent with the City's Local Coastal Program. Specific Plan The City's proposed Specific Plan includes the policies/guidelines that are necessary to maintain the Sunset Beach character in recognition of the fact that the area is nearly built out and has been developed and operating under the guidance of a consistent set of policies/guidelines for over two decades. The City's proposed Specific Plan mirrors the County's Specific Plan in terms of the land use designation pattern. The City's proposed Specific Plan carries forward the County's guidelines for preservation and maintenance of the existing scenic vista points, the artificial dune, the 27 existing public access points to the beach, public use of the waterway (Sunset Channel), l Ith Street beach and the greenbelt/linear park and public parking facility. These guidelines are specific to-the circumstances in Sunset Beach and are necessary to recognize and continue these facilities. The Specific Plan is consistent with the City's General Plan and Local Coastal Program. The City's Specific Plan does not propose any change to the majority of the site development standards for setbacks, height, on-site open space, fences/walls, accessory structures and signs. The City's Specific Plan proposes one change to the parking standards, which is to require compliance with the bicycle parking requirements of the ZSO for new development. Based on input from the Sunset Beach community, staff is proposing some changes compared with the draft Specific Plan dated August 2010. The changes are shown in underline/strikeout text in the draft Specific Plan dated September 2010 (Attachment No. 7). Key changes are summarized below: ■ Updated acreage numbers based on completed legal description ■ Added language at the request of the Fire Department related to drive aisle width ® Modified the list of prohibited uses in response to a request from the Sunset Beach Community Association Transition Committee ■ Added clarifying language on beach encroachment,per existing County regulations. ■ Added additional language to the Water Quality section in response to a comment from the RWQCB In addition to these changes, the September 2010 version includes various minor corrections and edits to text that either correct numbers, provide clarifying text, or correct typographical errors. Staff has recently learned that the County sometimes requires Use Permits (conditional use permits) for new businesses/uses, even though the existing Specific Plan does not indicate this nor provide guidance as to when one would be required. Staff will be preparing revised pages for the Specific Plan for consideration at the September 28th hearing and will distribute them as soon as possible. Staff has received inquiries from some Sunset Beach residents regarding other potential changes to the Specific Plan related to prohibiting overnight stays on boats and maintenance provisions for the artificial berm on the main beach. Staff has not made associated changes in the Specific Plan for these items as they generally relate to Municipal Code topics. As indicated in the August 24, 2010 Planning Commission Study Session report changes will be made to the City's Municipal Code to implement many PC Staff Report—09/28/10 -19- 10sr59 ANX;GPA;ZTA;ZMA;LCPA,ND(Sunset Beach) -565- Item 1 . - Page 423 of the ongoing County practices including parking permits, harbor permits, beach encroachments and the LCP Review Board, all of which are allowed by the existing and proposed Specific Plan. Drat Negative Declaration Draft Negative Declaration No. 10-005 analyzes potential impacts of the proposed project. The proposed annexation and associated zoning and general plan entitlements do not include a development project. The proposed Sunset Beach Specific Plan reflects the land use plan as approved by Orange County and the California Coastal Commission. There is no change to the number or location of properties designated for residential and commercial development or areas designated for open space. The proposed Specific Plan does not include any new infrastructure extensions or roadway. Thus, any potential development that may occur in the future, could also occur now under the existing regulations in effect. The Draft Negative Declaration concludes that there will be no impacts associated with Population and Housing, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water Quality, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Mineral Resources,Noise,Utilities and Service Systems,Aesthetics, Cultural Resources,Recreation and Agricultural Resources. The Draft Negative Declaration concludes less than significant impacts associated with Land Use and Planning, Transportation/Traffic,Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Public Services and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The less than significant impacts associated with the first three issue areas stem from differences in standards in the proposed Specific Plan(no change from existing) compared with what is currently required in most areas of Huntington Beach. Specifically, some of the standards for street sections and drive aisles that are designated as fire lanes are less in the proposed Specific Plan. The City of Huntington Beach Fire Department currently responds to approximately 80 percent of the calls in Sunset Beach. They are able to meet response times despite the existing standards being less than desirable. The Draft Negative Declaration identifies that that there would be a less than significant impact associated with the adoption of the proposed Specific Plan in this regard. The less than significant impact for Public Services is due to the potential increase in calls for service that the City of Huntington Beach Police and Fire Departments may experience as a result of the annexation. The Draft Negative Declaration reviews the statistics in terms of calls for service and responding agency for Sunset Beach. The Police Department is expected to experience the largest increase in calls, given that the County Sheriff's Department provides the majority of law enforcement services in the area. However, the Police Department has indicated that the increase will not have a significant impact on their operations and ability to provide adequate service to the area and the rest of Huntington Beach. In response to a comment regarding Police services to the area, language has been added to the Negative Declaration analysis; see the Errata in Attachment No. 8. Subsequent to the public comment period,two letters were received regarding the Negative Declaration as it relates to police services (Attachment No. 12). The Police Department has reviewed the letters and believes that the revised analysis in the Negative Declaration Errata adequately addresses the issues raised. The potential increase in calls for service for the Fire Department is comparatively small, given that they effectively are the primary responder in the area now. Accordingly, associated impacts with the increased calls for service will be less than significant. The last issue area for which less than significant impacts were identified was Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The CEQA threshold asks if the project would generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly,that may have a significant impact on the environment. The draft Negative Declaration identifies that there may be indirect emissions associated with construction of buildings pursuant to the PC Staff Report—09/28/10 -20- 10sr59 ANX;GPA;ZTA;ZMA;LCPA,ND(Sunset Beach) Item 130 ® Page 424 -566- Specific Plan and the operation of existing and future development,however,these would be insignificant given that 99 percent of the community is already built out and due to parcel pattern and development standards,which significantly limit the size of individual projects and amount of development that could occur. SUMMARY: Staff recommends approval of Negative Declaration No. 10-005, General Plan Amendment No. 10-002, Zoning Text Amendment No. 10-002, Zoning Map Amendment No. 10-001, Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 10-001 and Annexation No. 10-001 because: - The proposed project will not result in significant impacts on the environment. - The proposed land use and pre-zoning designations will result in land use and zoning designations for the Sunset Beach area that are consistent with the existing land uses and zoning designations. - The Local Coastal Program Amendment is consistent with the California Coastal Act and the project provides for continued preservation of existing._coastal recreational resources, coastal access and maintenance of coastal views. - The Specific Plan carries forward the existing overall goals, policies and standards of the County's Specific Plan for Sunset Beach, which are designed to address the unique development pattern of the community. - - Pre-zoning of the project site will allow the City to annex the area to the City, which would result in a fiscal benefit to the City and allow for more efficient provision of services.

A. Legal Description � AugustSeptember O Pogeii / '--. ._~ = ^ "� ~~ ' I Draft Sunset Beach SpeciricPlan 1 ® Introduction 1.1 Location Sunset Beach is an approximately 409-134 acre primarily residential community that stretches 1.2 miles from Seal Beach at the northwest extremity to Bolsa Chica State Beach, with which it is contiguous at the southeast, as shown in Exhibit 1.1, Vicinity Map. It is bordered on the southwest by the Pacific Ocean and on the northeast by the Huntington Harbour and Peter's Landing developments and is in proximity to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and Sunset Aquatic Park. The entirety of Sunset Beach is located in the Coastal Zone. From the ocean inland Sunset Beach is formed by six successive strips running the length of the community: the beach, the ocean front residences along South Pacific Avenue, the linear park/public parking facility between South and North Pacific Avenues, the residences along North Pacific and side streets, the mixed residential-commercial buildings on both sides of Pacific Coast Highway, and the residences on Sunset Island and adjacent to Park Avenue (Exhibit 1.2, Aerial Photograph). 1.2 Specific Plan Area Background Sunset Beach was established as an unincorporated town on September 8, 1904, governed by the County of Orange. Its formal establishment followed construction of the Pacific Electric Railway (PER). The Newport-Balboa line was the first PER line into Orange County and ran down the coast from Long Beach. The line was extended into Huntington Beach via Seal Beach in Summer 1904. Sunset Beach was laid out along the tracks in 1905. An 80 foot wide boulevard was graded running north to south next to the "Red Car" line, the common reference to PER, and became known as Ocean Boulevard. This thoroughfare was renamed Pacific Coast Highway in 1926. Development of Sunset Beach was similar to that of small coastal communities of the time and was punctuated by various events that helped to shape it to its current form, not the least of which was the rail line and the highway. The other notable change for the area was the development of Huntington Harbour in the 1960s, which transformed marsh and slough into residential islands, a marina and commercial area. Sunset Beach is unique among coastal communities in that 64-55 percent of its total area, excluding streets, is publicly owned and utilized. Of its almost 40 -134 acres, almest 58approximately 74 acres are devoted to public uses, which include the main beach, a combination linear park and public parking facility, Sunset Channel and 11th Street beach. Approximately 31 acres are developed with residential and commercial uses, and 28 acres are right-of-way (streets). There are 700 residential units in the community developed at a range of densities, with commercial and mixed use developments mostly along Pacific Coast Highway. The community has approximately 1,300 residents. While Sunset Beach is almost built out, remodeling and rebuilding of residential lots occurs on an on-going basis.

The Specific Plan establishes specific zoning and site development standards for Sunset Beach generally consistent with the County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan, dated September 1990. Sunset Beach will be annexed to the City of Huntington Beach. After the annexation and the adoption of the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan are effective, the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan will supersede the County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan as the effective zoning regulations for the approximately 44DO-134 acre Sunset Beach area.' The intent of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan is to provide clear and comprehensive descriptions of land use, circulation, infrastructure and site development standards. The Specific Plan is regulatory in nature and serves as zoning for the Sunset Beach area, see Exhibit 1.3, Zoning Map. The Specific Plan also serves as the implementation plan for the Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program. Development plans and other entitlement requests for the Specific Plan area must be consistent with this Specific Plan and the Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program. 1.4 Authority and Scope The authority to prepare, adopt and implement Specific Plans is granted to the City of Huntington Beach by the California Government Code (Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457). The Specific Plan will be used by the City of Huntington Beach to implement the Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program for the Sunset Beach area. The Specific Plan contains all applicable land use regulations and will thus constitute the zoning for the Sunset Beach area. The Development Standards contained in this Specific Plan will take precedence over all other provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, unless otherwise noted. Local planning agencies or their legislative bodies may designate areas within their jurisdictions as ones for which a Specific Plan is "necessary or convenient" (Government Code Section 65451). A Specific Plan may either be adopted by ordinance or resolution (Government Code Section 65507). Adoption of the Sunset Beach Specific Plan shall be consistent with the provisions of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 215. 'The County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan lists the acreage for the Specific Plan area as 115 total acres,30 acres of which are the main beach. With the benefit of geographic information systems, and based on current information from the County of Orange and a legal description,the total acreage is now estimated at almost 199134,3-3-approximately 58 of which are the main beach.

The Land Use Plan, including Development Guidelines, was approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 6, 1981, as an amendment to the Orange County General Plan. The purpose of the County Sunset Beach Specific Plan (SBSP/LCP) was to tie together the Land Use Plan and Implementing Actions Program of the County's Local Coastal Program. In January, 1986, the Board of Supervisors directed the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) to prepare an amendment to the SBSP/LCP. Amendment 90-1 to the SBSP/LCP was approved by the Board of the Supervisors by Resolution No. 90-1244 and Ordinance No. 3798 on September 26, 1990. The Sunset Beach area remained an unincorporated "island"while the cities of Seal Beach and Huntington Beach incorporated and annexed adjoining areas. In 2009, the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) placed the unincorporated Sunset Beach area in the City of Huntington Beach's Sphere of Influence, facilitating the annexation of Sunset Beach to the City of Huntington Beach. This proposed City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan is intended to comply with State law requiring the City to adopt zoning regulations for property ("pre-zone") before annexation is approved by LAFCO. 1.6 Previous California Coastal Commission Approvals for Sunset Beach The California Coastal Commission originally certified the SBSP/LCP on October 27, 1983. Subsequently, the Commission certified the amended SBSP/LCP on July, 17, 1991. The Commission..retains original permit jurisdiction over development seaward of the mean high tide line. Therefore, it has permitting authority for improvements in/above the ocean and waterway and has issued such coastal development permits in Sunset Beach. This City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Specific Plan must be approved by the California Coastal Commission in order to become effective. 1.7 Consistency with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study has been prepared as part of the Specific Plan approval process. The Initial Study will serve as the basis on which the environmental effects of implementation of the Specific Plan can be ascertained. The Initial Study indicated that a Negative Declaration is the appropriate CEQA compliance tool, and has been prepared as part of this Specific Plan process. All subsequent approvals necessary to develop any property within the Specific Plan area must be consistent with the Specific Plan and within the scope of the Negative Declaration. Additional environmental documentation may be required in the future if new significant August-September2010 -577- Item 13. - Page 435 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan development is proposed or if significant changes are found to have occurred pursuant to Section 15162 and 15182 of the CEQA Guidelines. � 4unnict Ccntcmhcr7(1l(1 Item 13. - Page 436 -578- �T�l -t . t Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan . Land Use Plan The goal of the Land Use Plan is to maintain and enhance the special character of Sunset Beach. The Land Use Plan establishes and designates areas of residential and commercial development that will not impair coastal resources or public access to the coast consistent with the previous County Specific Plan. It identifies the beach, waterway and public parking facilities and policies to preserve them. Preservation of the unique character of Sunset Beach is the fundamental goal from which the Land Use Policies are derived. 2.1 Existing Conditions Sunset Beach is characterized by the unique and valuable commodity of its sandy beach and ocean shoreline. It is also surrounded on its inland side by a system of waterway canals in the Huntington Harbour development. The majority of the Sunset Beach area is designated for public or community use, the largest component of which is the beach. The beach is bounded on the south by Warner Avenue and on the north by Anderson Street, a distance of 6,300 feet. Access to the shoreline is at 27 street-end locations through the residential areas, 35 feet in width, located every 200 feet along the beach frontage. The only recreation facilities on the beach are volleyball nets. Approximately 1,500 feet of the beach is open for surfing. Lifeguard service is provided on a seasonal basis. Outdoor games, swimming, surfing and fishing constitute the major activities at this beach. The area also benefits from a 13 acre linear park/public parking facility, constructed by the County of Orange in the old Pacific-Electric right-of-way, with picnic areas, a tot lot, five restroom buildings, pathways, and 660-624 parking spaces. This area is also referred to as the "greenbelt." Other notable public uses include the Sunset Channel, 11th Street beach, a post office and a volunteer fire station. The Sunset Beach Community Association also owns and operates a community center, which functions as a quasi-public use. There are no public boat launch sites in Sunset Channel with the exception that nontrailerable boats that can be hand-carried may be launched at the 11th Street Beach. There are no publicly maintained boating facilities within the Sunset Beach area. However, private docks are available in Sunset Channel adjacent to commercial and residential properties subject to the permit process. Private land uses in Sunset Beach are residential and commercial. The residential uses consist of 700 single and multiple family type dwelling units, on typically 2,700 square foot lots, which are well mixed throughout both residential and commercial areas. Densities range from approximately 22 to 45 units per acre. There are approximately 60-70 commercial establishments. Existing commercial uses range from neighborhood convenience facilities such as markets, to more area-wide facilities such as motels, restaurants, and specialty shops that generally front on Pacific Coast Highway. Because of the compact size and special nature of the Sunset Beach community and the limited area for commercial uses, the convenience facilities and goods provided serve the visitors and tourists as well as local residents. The Sunset Beach area consists of 497 parcels, the beach, and right-of-way. All but four of these parcels are fully developed or used in substantial part by an adjacent parcel for yard area, ° September 2010 ^^ - -579- A Item 13. - Page 437 Draft Sunset Beach SaecrticPlan parking or accessory structures. Of the four parcels, three are vacant and one parcel is occupied by a billboard. The existing residential and commercial areas are 99 percent developed. Sunset Beach exhibits generally low relief with elevations ranging from sea level to five feet above sea level. Erosion of the shoreline in the area has been relatively continuous since the construction of the east jetty of Anaheim Bay in 1944. In 1945, the Navy constructed 600 feet of stone revetment downcoast from the Anaheim Bay east jetty to retard the erosion but had to reinforce it the following year. In 1947, the revetment was further extended and a wood sheet- pile bulkhead established to strengthen the shore road. In the 1940s, 1,422,000 cubic yards of material were placed on the beach. Additional material has been placed along the Surfside- Sunset Beach shoreline on a regular basis over the years and is expected to be needed on an on-going basis. Much of the area northwest of Pacific Coastal Highway was once a marsh and slough and was dredged and redeveloped to establish part of Sunset Island and Huntington Harbour in the 1960s. The development of these communities destroyed the marsh-slough habitat. The developed area of Sunset Beach does not provide a suitable habitat for wildlife or native vegetation because of its highly urbanized character, although certain avifauna may forage on the beach. Along the sandy beaches of the Specific Plan area, plankton, organic detritus, and debris form a primary food source for many of the macroscopic (i.e., large enough to be observed by the naked eye) species of marine animals, such as beach hoppers, sand crabs, and various species of clams. Also, microfauna could possibly be a food source for invertebrate macroscopic filter feeders. Filter and deposit feeders provide a food source for many fish species such as barred surfperch and California corbina, and also for numerous shore birds such as willets, whimbrels, dowitchers, plovers, and gulls. In turn, many of the vertebrates, especially the fishes, provide a food source for larger carnivorous vertebrates such as other fishes and mammals. Many invertebrate species are subject to cycles of abundance and rarity on any segment of sandy beach shoreline. The fish species present are frequently taken by in-shore anglers but are not exclusively confined to the shallow water of the open coast sandy beaches; they can also be found in deeper waters, or in bays and harbors, depending on such factors as migratory habits, spawning habits, weather conditions, wave conditions, and currents. Pismo clams are known to exist all along the intertidal and subtidal zones of the sandy beach shorelines from Anaheim Bay Harbor to the entrance to Newport Harbor. This bivalve is an important resource sought by recreational Clammers. The open coast sandy beach in the Specific Plan area and vicinity are spawning habitat for the grunion. Other fish species such as the barred surfperch and California corbina are found in the surf zone feeding primarily upon sand crabs. Common sandy beach organisms such as sand crab, pismo clam, bean clam, and polychaetes are known to exist intertidally and subtidally along the Surfside-Sunset Beach shoreline in spite of previous beach deposition (sand replenishment)operations.

Broadly stated, the goals for the area are to: ® Maintain and enhance the special character of Sunset Beach. ® Protect, maintain, and, where feasible, enhance and,restore the overall quality of the coastal zone environment and its natural and man-made resources. ® Assure orderly, balanced utilization and conservation of coastal zone resources taking into account the social economic needs of the people of the state. ® Maximize public access to and along the coast and maximize public recreational opportunities in the coastal zone consistent with sound resource conservation principles and constitutionally protected rights of private property owners. ® Assure priority for coastal-dependent and coastal-related development over other development on the coast. ® Encourage state and local initiatives and cooperation in preparing procedures to implement coordinated planning and development for mutually beneficial uses, including educational uses, in the coastal zone. More specifically, the City of Huntington Beach Sunset Beach Land Use Plan proposes to carry forward the land use designations previously approved by the County of Orange and California Coastal Commission. However, for consistency with the City's General Plan, some of the designations are different in name, though the types of permitted uses are similar. These uses will also be governed by the more specific regulations of this Specific Plan, as set forth in Section 3. The Sunset Beach Land Use Plan is illustrated in Exhibit 2.1. The Plan designates the 409-134 acre Specific Plan area as follows: Land Use Designation Acres Residential High Density-30 22.32 Commercial Visitor-Mixed Use Overlay 9.16 Public 13.00 Open Space-Shoreline 334-757.74 Open Space-Water Recreation 3.40 Right of Way 28.26 Total 109-31133.88 Aug 2010 Pana 1n _587- IItem 13. m Page 439 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan The Residential High Density designation has a General Plan/Local Coastal Program density category of greater than 30 units per net acre, denoted by"-30"to reflect the existing density condition of some parts of Sunset Beach. The Commercial Visitor designation has a Mixed Use ("-mu") Overlay, which permits residential uses in conjunction with the underlying commercial designation. This is in recognition that the Specific Plan allows for residential units above the ground floor in the CV area.2 In addition to the underlying land use designations, and the notations for RH and CV described above, the entire area has a Specific Plan Overlay ("-sp") designation in recognition of the need and existence of a specific plan for the Sunset Beach area. The City of Huntington Beach General Plan and Local Coastal Program also use Subarea designations to identify areas that are unique in the city, serve certain functions or have area- specific goals or regulations. The Sunset Beach Specific Plan area will be designated as Subarea 4L on the City's Community District and Subarea Schedule in the General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Those Subarea Schedules refer the reader to this Specific Plan for development regulations. 2 The County's existing Specific Plan allows residential uses above the ground floor in the Commercial Visitor(Sunset Beach Tourist District)area.A 2010 review of existing development in Sunset Beach indicates that there are approximately 80 residential units in the areas designated for principally commercial uses.Of these,only approximately Ave units..eFe l,,cated .,heve,.,,..,. eFrzial us A.......

However, due to the unique nature of Sunset Beach and the fact that it is already almost fully developed at the time that this Specific Plan is being created, previous Land Use Plan Guidelines contained in the original County of Orange Sunset Beach Specific Plan are being carried forward to the extent that they are still relevant. The Land Use Plan Guidelines below are designed to: implement the Land Use Plan, specifically; carry out the intent of the General Plan and Coastal Act consistent with the desires of the community; and be a supplement to the City's General Plan and Local Coastal Program, which also contain relevant policies. The Guidelines consist of the Land Use Map (see Exhibit 2.1) and the following text: Beach and Sand Area 2.2.8 Existing beach and sand areas shall be maintained in their present form: i. to preserve the unique public recreational character of Sunset Beach; recreation shall be defined as passive and active recreation that is in conformance with the development guidelines of the Sunset Beach Land Use Plan. ii. in cooperation with the State Department of Fish and Game, to protect and preserve the natural habitat of spawning grunion, pismo clam and other shellfish beds, porpoise feeding and sporting grounds, feeding grounds for the California brown pelican, grebes, cormorants, terns, gulls and all other natural sea life and waterfowl. iii. to protect beachfront residences and maintain both public and private open ocean view and access. 2.2.9 The following shall be adhered to to maintain the existing beach and sand areas: i. Dredging and sand replenishment shall be scheduled during fall and winter months to reduce conflict with sunning, swimming and other shoreline water activities. ii. The city shall cooperate with the United States Army Corps of Engineers and other applicable agencies regarding all sand replenishment activities. iii. Sand replenishment shall be deposited at the northwest end of the beach in the area contiguous to the U.S. Navy Ammunition & Net Depot harbor groin, the point of primary and maximum erosion. From that point sand shall be distributed southeastward down the beach by natural wave and current action. This will avoid the destruction of natural marine life habitat. At the same time it will preserve the recreational character of the beach and the fine grain and cleanliness characteristic of alluvial ocean sands. Sand shall not be pumped directly on the beach within Sunset beach except in response to immediate danger to residences. A- _T-zt SPntamhPr 9n1(l Item 13. - Page 442 -584- m Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan iv. No government or private agency shall construct or cause to be constructed any structure including but not limited to jetties, groins, berms, etc., that may alter natural shoreline processes such as wave action, channel depths or general beach configuration except when such protective structures are required for existing structures or public beaches in danger of erosion. V. Permanent above-ground structures on the beach and sand areas shall be prohibited. vi. To fulfill visitor serving needs, to minimize personal injuries and to reduce liability, sanitation shall be maintained by properly and routinely cleaning and maintaining the beach and sand area from ocean edge to the artificial dune. The protective growth barrier shall be maintained by property owners. 2.2.10 To protect residences and the Sunset Beach sanitary system from flood waters and excess wind-driven sand, to preserve that sand in the beach area thereby reducing replenishment costs, and to enhance the appearance of the benefit of visitors, preservation and maintenance of the artificial dune by residences shall be retained and encouraged, in keeping with Orange County Board of Supervisors Resolution Nos. 80- 188 and 80-1057. 2.2.11 Scenic vistas shall be maintained, see Exhibit 2.2., Scenic Vista Viewpoints. 2.2.12 Public access to the beach shall be maintained. i. The 27 existing public access points to the beach shall be retained in perpetuity, see Exhibit 2.3, Existing Beach Access. ii. Signs denoting the Public Beach shall be maintained at the signalized intersections of Anderson Street, Broadway Avenue and Warner Avenue along Pacific Coast Highway. Signs shall not exceed four square feet.

Residential 2.2.17 All legally created residential building sites shall be permitted only two dwelling units per site, unless approved otherwise prior to adoption of this Specific Plan. 2.2.18 Affordable housing shall be provided consistent with the City of Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision. Low/moderate cost rental units should be replaced when redevelopment occurs. 2.2.19 Conversion of multi-unit buildings into condominiums shall be allowed only if the building meets the Specific Plan standards. 2.2.20 Public service facilities shall be a permitted use in a residential use area. 1 A�►gu g-September 2010 T ¢4 ���_�� � _1 , 2. Item 13. - Page 446 -���- � � x�_ . Draft Sunset Beach Spectic Plan 2.3 Circulation Regional Transportation A network of freeways and arterial highways provide regional access for Sunset Beach. The major arterial regional facilities serving the community are Pacific Coast Highway and the San Diego Freeway. Arterial highways link these two facilities to each other and to Sunset Beach. Several arterial highways connect Pacific Coast Highway with inland areas and the San Diego Freeway. Seal Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue are both designated as major arterial (six lane, divided) highways and provide connections with Pacific Coast Highway at points north and south, respectively, of Sunset Beach. The arterial highway network serves both the motorist and the public transit rider. Countywide and regional access via transit is designed primarily by the Orange County Transportation Authority(OCTA), which operates an extensive system of fixed routes and dial-a-ride service throughout Orange County. OCTA's service to the Sunset Beach area is quite extensive. OCTA route#1 utilizes Pacific Coast Highway between Long Beach/Seal Beach and San Clemente, providing north-south service to Sunset Beach. Three other OCTA routes terminate at Pacific Coast Highway and Warner Avenue at the southern end of Sunset Beach; they provide direct service to the beach from inland Orange County areas. The Pacific Coast Bikeway follows Pacific Coast Highway and serves as a major north-south route within Orange County and the only bikeway adjacent and parallel to the coastline. Bikeways connecting to Pacific Coast Highway generally follow arterial highways. Seal Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue both include bikeways. All of the above bikeways are included in the Master Plan of County-wide Bikeways. Sunset Beach Transportation Most of the traffic utilizing Pacific Coast Highway in the vicinity of Sunset Beach is either passing through the area or destined to development adjacent to the community. The approximately 700 dwelling units and various commercial enterprises within Sunset Beach generate a relatively small portion of the trips using the Highway. For most of its length in the vicinity of Sunset Beach, Pacific Coast Highway is a four lane facility with painted median. Some additional development and redevelopment within Sunset Beach may occur, but the impact of this upon the arterial highway system should be minimal. However, increased development in the areas surrounding Sunset Beach and growing demand for access to coastal resources could further impact Pacific Coast Highway and the arterials leading to it. Because of the constraints inherent in acquiring additional right-of-way for Pacific Coast Highway both within and outside of Sunset Beach, it may be impractical to provide additional travel lanes. Better utilization of the existing right-of-way is a more realistic possibility. As new development and redevelopment occurs, improvements can be made that provide for safe and convenient use of the Highway by pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit vehicles. Also, any new commercial development will have to provide off-street parking and be designed to minimize the number of direct access points to Pacific Coast Highway. An integrated traffic signal system August-Sgptember 2010 h aMMdK4 M -7 _ *7_2 _589- IItem 13. ® Page 447- Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan within Sunset Beach can facilitate the flow of traffic. Expanded transit service along Pacific Coast Highway and through the area, to be provided as demand warrants and as financial resources become available, should encourage additional transit use and might somewhat reduce traffic along Pacific Coast Highway. Pacific Coast Highway is operated and maintained by the State Department of Transportation (CalTrans). Thus, any improvement to the Highway is subject to their approval. Local circulation within the Sunset Beach community is tied to parking opportunities and traffic control. Traffic patterns seaward of Pacific Coast Highway revolve around the parking facility located between North and South Pacific Avenues. Traffic movements on other streets are limited by narrow right-of-way and heavy on-street parking. Although there are adequate parking spaces available to meet public, commercial, and residential parking demand, the distribution of available parking negatively affects the supply- demand balance, which causes deficiencies to occur in certain areas. To alleviate the problem, existing parking opportunities need to be retained within the community and maximized wherever possible. Adequate off-street parking will be required in conjunction with all new development or redevelopment of properties. Specific policies and guidelines relating to parking are included in this Specific Plan. Increased transit service and bicycling opportunities should provide access to beach uses without requiring such additional parking. Local circulation and traffic safety will be enhanced by appropriate speed limits. It is expected that the existing 15 miles per hour speed limit on all Sunset Beach Streets, except Pacific Coast Highway, will be retained; however, speed limits must be periodically reviewed to be enforceable. Circulation and safety will also be enhanced by retention of the parking restrictions on North and South Pacific Avenues. Also, conversion of Bay View Drive to one-way operations will be evaluated as a means to improve circulation inland of Pacific Coast Highway. Based on the foregoing, the following circulation policies shall be adhered to: Transportation/Circulation 2.3.1 Speed limits shall be periodically reviewed and vigorously enforced on all local streets within Sunset Beach. 2.3.2 The City shall work with CalTrans to maintain and/or improve signal timing on Pacific Coast Highway. 2.3.3 The City will evaluate a proposal to widen North Pacific Avenue between signalized Warner Avenue and 5th Street to provide two-way traffic on such widened section. There shall be no condemnation of private property for such purposes. 2.3.4 The feasibility of converting local streets west of Broadway, to one-way circulation shall be evaluated. 2.3.5.

However, street dedication for 4th through 26th Streets shall conform to the Typical Section for those streets, as shown in Exhibit 2.4, Typical Section. 12.3.7--6 Pacific Coast Highway is designated a"scenic highway." To ensure that those scenic characteristics are enhanced, public and private projects shall, wherever feasible, provide landscaping wherever there is adequate space. Parking 273-.92.3.7 To the maximum extent feasible, to maximize visitor servicing needs and ensure public safety, the City shall encourage CalTrans to stripe Pacific Coast Highway to provide a safe width for parallel parking. 24-92.3.8 All existing on-street parking shall be retained within Sunset Beach and wherever possible establish programs to maximize their use, except when public safety is compromised. 2734-02.3.9 There shall be no parking on North and South Pacific Avenues, except in front of driveways by permit only. 2.3.112.3.10 In order to facilitate visitor serving needs, diagonal parking shall be allowed on Anderson Street and Broadway Avenue. 2.3.11 All street ends, except for emergency access, opening onto the beach shall be fully developed for public parking prior to any other public parking development. 2.3.12 Street ends on the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway will be evaluated for opportunities to develop public parking. 2.3.13 Innovative programs to maintain the existing parking supply in residential areas and to provide flexibility for commercial uses shall be encouraged. 2.3.14 Signage and parking control to manage parking supply shall be implemented.

A small portion of the beach at the ocean edge is designated Flood Zone VE, areas of Coastal flood with velocity hazard. Despite the Flood Zone X designation, flood damage in Sunset Beach can occur at times of abnormally high tides when waves overtop the berm and water flows towards the houses. Flood damage resulting from this process, called over-wash, can be reduced by raising the living area of the homes above the level of flowing water. Therefore, special design consideration must be given to development along the shoreline because ocean-water can create a flooding problem. The County of Orange completed a Coastal Flood Plain Development Study, in 1985, to analyze safety measures-for structures along the coast. Design guidelines for residential development along the coast are established in Chapter Four of the Coastal Flood Plain Development Study as amended. These guidelines are based on the assumption that the beach will be artificially maintained with a width of at least 150 feet from the ocean-facing private property line. Flowing water is the only design consideration. Should the beach retreat to less width, the possibility of storm erosion and breaking wave activity at the structures may occur and flood protection as regulated by these design guidelines will not provide protection from wave impact forces. Revised design guidelines must then be modified to reflect the circumstances. The County designated the homes seaward of South Pacific Avenue as being in a—FP3 district, subject to flood hazard. The Coastal Flood Plain Development Study requires that any new structure in this area be raised to a specific height above a point on South Pacific Avenue. In addition to providing protection against flood damage, the requirement to build on piling along South Pacific Avenue provides a safety margin should conditions at Sunset Beach return to the way they were in the 1930s when homes were vulnerable to attack by waves. Homes on shallow footings can be rapidly damaged or destroyed if their sand support is lost to erosion. Existing lawful nonconforming residential uses may be severely impacted by the Coastal Flood Plain Development Study and will require special consideration. The publicly owned Sunset Channel has been privately bulkheaded and the streets and alleys, where they abut the channel, were bulkheaded by the County. As set forth in Section 3, new development shall be required to comply with flood plain regulations and the County's study. 2.5 Infrastructure and Utilities Infrastructure Public facilities analyses of infrastructure requirements and detailed design, construction and phasing will be completed as required by the City of Huntington Beach Department of Public Works.

Water System The City of Huntington Beach has provided domestic water to the Sunset Beach area since fiscal year 1964/65, when it purchased the Sunset Beach Water District. Upon annexation, domestic water for the Sunset Beach area will continue to be provided by the Public Works Water Division of the City of Huntington Beach. The Water Division provides water to all of the customers within the City of Huntington Beach. The Water Division has use of both underground and imported water sources to service the area. The underground supply comes from nine existing wells, and imported water delivered to the City of Huntington Beach by the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) at three locations. The Specific Plan area is part of the City's Master Plan for Water Service. All water improvements shall be designed to the City of Huntington Beach water standards for future City acceptance and approval. Locations of fire hydrants and apparatuses will be reviewed for each project by the Fire Department and Water Division of the City of Huntington Beach to ensure adequate fire flow and pressure. Sewer System The Sunset Beach Sanitary District, formed in 1930, is responsible for the review and approval of the collection of wastewater within the project area, and the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) is responsible for the treatment of wastewater. Upon annexation, wastewater service will continue to be provided by the Sunset Beach Sanitary District. Storm Drainage The City of Huntington Beach and the Orange County Public Works/Flood Control Section are the agencies responsible for the flood control system in the vicinity of Sunset Beach. New drainage facilities constructed within the Specific Plan area will be maintained either by the City or privately maintained by a homeowner's association. Any drainage facilities designed or sized to accommodate upstream drainage will be designated as public facilities and maintained by the City. Due to the high greundwateF GOnditions, Only drainage that is required by City of Huntington Beach Codes and the ordinances of the Sunset Beach Sanitary District shall be drained into the Sunset Beach Sanitary System lines. All other drainage, such as rain water, irrigation water and other on-site drainage shall drain to the public street or public storm drainage system. All development shall meet the provisions of this requirement. Where new storm drains are necessary to accommodate development, they shall be sited and designed to discharge in the least environmentally sensitive location. Storm Drains and/or Catch Basins shall be marked "No dumping- drains to Ocean" or with other appropriate local insignia. Item 13. v Page 452 -594- Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan Water Quality The City of Huntington Beach is a coastal community noted for its beaches, which attract numerous people to the area. The beaches support the City's economy and the well being of the City's economy is dependent on maintaining quality of coastal waters. The flow of untreated stormwater and urban runoff can have an adverse impact on the quality of coastal waters since storm drains eventually discharge into the ocean. The City's Coastal Element notes that the City can upgrade water quality by controlling pollutants that enter coastal waters through urban runoff. The City's Coastal Element contains the water and marine resource policies requiring that measures be implemented to mitigate the adverse impacts of human activities on the marine environment. To protect coastal waters, the following water quality measures shall be implemented in conjunction with any new development- or significant redevelopment: ® All new development and significant redevelopment, shall comply with the State of California, California Regional Water Quality Control Board Santa Ana Region, Order No. R8-2009-0030 (NPDES No. CAS 618030) or subsequent permits. Projects shall comply with the Orange County Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP), all applicable local ordinances and applicable provisions of the NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board Order No. 2009-0009-DWQ), and any subsequent amendments, revisions, or re-issuances thereof. ® Prior to issuance of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP), a Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), shall be submitted for review by the Public Works Department, and shall be based on consistency with the provisions herein. New development and significant redevelopment projects shall incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) principles, design elements, and/or Best Management Practices (BMPs)that will effectively prevent runoff contamination, and minimize runoff volume leaving the site in the developed condition, to the greatest extent feasible. ® Prior to issuance of a Grading or Building Permit, a final WQMP shall be submitted for review and acceptance by the Public Works Department. ® All proiects that include dewaterinq shall obtain coverage under the State of California, California Regional Water Quality Control Board Santa Ana Region de minimis permit, currently Order No. R8-2009-0003 (NPDES No. CAG998001) and subsequent iterations of this permit. Utilities There are several public utility service providers in the Sunset Beach Specific Plan area as described below. Adequate facilities exist for the service needs of the area. Electricity Electrical service to the area is provided by the Southern California Edison Company. Existing transmission and distribution lines are adequate to service current and potential future needs.

Sunset Beach LCP Review Board The County's Sunset Beach LCP was developed largely through the vigorous efforts of the Sunset Beach community through the LCP Advisory Committee. Subsequent to the County's LCP adoption, the Board of Supervisors designated the Sunset Beach LCP Conformity and Violation Review Board (commonly known as the "LCP Board") as the official citizen's review group in Sunset Beach. The Committee helped identify the community lifestyle and special needs of Sunset Beach. It recognizes the complex needs and limits of planning an area that is 96 percent developed. Coastal Act Policies have been applied with sensitivity to the existing community. The Sunset Beach LCP Review Board provides continuing community participation in the long- term process of implementing the provisions of this Specific Plan. Such process does not replace the current mode of community participation, but provides a centralized forum for obtaining community opinion and for transmitting recommendations to the City. The LCP Review Board's specific function and membership is contained in a separate document titled "Bylaws of the Sunset Beach Advisory Committee (LCP Board)." In addition, the Director of Planning and Building shall forward the following items to the Sunset Beach LCP Review Board: ® All discretionary permit applications and harbor permits for review and comment at least 21 calendar days prior to final action by the approving authority. Any changes to floor plans or site plans associated with the discretionary permit shall be resubmitted to the Review Board prior to final action by the City. ® Requests for Special event signs and Portable signs. ® A copy of all Certificates of Occupancy issued by the City for their records. s A copy of Certificates of Occupancy and encroachment permits issued for any use of public properties within three days of issuance for their records.

The current proposed budget for the City of Huntington Beach does not have any provision for increased spending to provide police services. The Huntington Beach Annexation Report did not project any increase in cost. The police chiefs estimates sited in the Draft Negative Declaration are based on the data that was included in the Annexation Report. This data was taken from a previous annexation study, by Seal Beach. I have attached a copy of the proposed budget from the City's web site. Also, I have included a copy of the data from the Annexation Report for your reference. The actual Orange County Sheriffs Deputies statistics between 01-01-09 and 08-03- 2010 are as follows: Assigned reports 105 Assigned calls not resulting in a report 1582 Observed reports 106 Observed stops with no report 2074 Warrant arrests 33 Felony arrests 17 Misdemeanor arrests (physical) 29 Misdemeanor arrests (citation) 114 Traffic citations/moving violations 116 Parking citations 909 Traffic citations other 57 Stored or impounded vehicles 70 The numbers speak for themselves. If you compare the data above, with the data from the Annexation Report, without full time police services dedicated to Sunset Beach, CITIZEN'S ASSOCIATION OF SUNSET BEACH 15931 CHEMICAL LANE#A, HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA 92649 -633- Item 13. - Page 491 $i Page '2 crime will increase. This will be most evident in the summer months when the day time population increases significantly. The data referenced in the Annexation Report does not anticipate the preventative police work necessary, and enforcement of lesser crimes, to serve the Sunset Beach Community at an acceptable level of service. Without the City of Huntington Beach adding to the budget for police services, the Police Department will be required to cut service to other areas of the city in order to service Sunset Beach. This will result in a negative impact. The city of Huntington Beach is already extending limited services to its own residents; Huntington Beach is facing a $3,000,000.00 budget shortfall. This is the third consecutive year where services to residents have been cut to make up for the shortfalls. Police officer positions will be cut and lifeguard service for certain beaches will be further reduced to balance the budget. Requests by the city's police, fire, and marine.safety chiefs, to replace;equipment which is becoming obsolete or is beyond the manufacturer's projected service life, could add another $3,000,000.00 - 5,000,000.00 in needed budget cutbacks. Sunset Beach is not a community of 1200 people requiring police services. It is a beach community with over 200,000 visitors a year. The population swells over the weekends, holidays and summer months, the same as it does in Huntington Beach. Hun irTiz- . Beach city services cannot simply be re-positioned to service Sunset Beach during peak demands. es ectfully, J c arkovitz, P es ent itizen's A ciat n of Sunset Beach CITIZEN'S ASSOCIATION OF SUNSET BEACH 15931 CHEMICAL LANE#A, HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA 92649 (tern 13. - Page 492 -634- ATT CH T NO,_►?. 2 111113111 ROMP Table VI f _J Sunset Beach Park I Crime Statistics—2007&2008 e® ®o• L: Homicides 0 0 Rape 0 1 Robbery 4 2 Felony Assault 5 5 Burglary 13 15 Larceny 12 15 Motor Vehicle Theft 5 6 Total Part I Crimes 39 44 F After reviewing this data,..police staff concluded, "it appears the Police Department could provide law enforcement services to Sunset Beach while maintaining current staffing levels."As a result, no additional expenditures are added to this Department's budget in evaluating the fiscal impact of the potential Sunset Beach annexation. L Animal Control i f Using a two year average for 2007 and 2008, there appears to be 309 annual calls for service. This average may be inflated since there were a reported 37 calls for service in 2007, but 545 in 2008. Since Orange County Animal Care charges approximately $100 per call, using the 309 figure, there would be added cost to the City for this annexation in the estimated amount of $31,000. While this figure may be inflated, it is used in this analysis due to the lack any other available data. City Clerk Sunset Beach has two precincts with 797 registered voters. In November 2008, these two pre- cincts were consolidated into one polling place with five election workers. it is generously esti- mated that the City Clerk's Office would experience additional election costs in the amount of $2,500 every two years. Averaging this expense on an annual basis it is estimated that there would be additional expense in this office of$1,250. (_ t Community Services Beach Maintenance To maintain the same level of service in maintaining 48-acres of beach as currently being pro- vided would cost an estimated $61,880. This includes, according to the Community Services L Department: "...periodic hand picking of Jitter, contractually provided trash removal daily, graffiti re- moval, ice plant trimming, the raking and sanitizing of the sand four times per month, and the construction and removal of street end sand berms as needed seasonally." i Page 19 ::.. .......... .. . .. -635- Item 13. - Page 493 Police Proposed.Budget-.FY 2010111 Department Budget.Summary All Funds by Object Account DEPARTMENT Percent Change From PERSONAL SERVICES - Salaries,Permanent 28,935,904 30,457,543 32,369,187 32,671,305 31,974,275 32,249,258 -1.29% Salaries, Temporary 727,279 520,793 615,586 346,200 346,200 346,200 0.00% Salaries,Overtime 3,907,065 4,174,876 3,807,640 3,823,230- 3,957,521 3,932,632 2.86% Leave Payouts 15,652 892,108 Benefits 17,378,465 17,109,473 17,658,575 18,683,977 18,809,977 18,144,942 -2.89% . 1?E42S)bSPE_, =� 5R..4$.. r8..S; 2 -1.53% OPERATING EXPENSES Utilities 8,340 6,058 6,493 6,000 6,000 6,000 0.00% Equipment and Supplies 911,993 1,322,982 979,893 1,210,305 2,278,180 1,045,620 -13.61% Repairs and Maintenance 1,139,011 829,359 793,822 737,774 633,692 875,248 18.63% Conferences and Training 268,356 305,024 239,783 290,625 234,224 322,375 10.92% Professional Services 275,780 458,888 319,768 347,425 370,572 218,988 -36.97% Other Contract Services 565,740 1,033,967 1,009,367 1,133,930 1,101,670 1,124,322 -0.85% Rental Expense 37,554 208,598 34,254 69,984 69,984 98,750 41.10% Insurance 2,051 Payments to Other Governments 405,778 363,951 559.294 592,500 647,500 600,000 1.27% Expense Allowances 346,531 23,451 361,349 378,900 378,900 369,900 -2.38% Other Expenses 1,809 12,021 17,778 13,000 3,000 -100.00% P40PERAGIN WOO" -2.49% CAPITAL EXPENDITURES Improvements 34,811 Equipment 1,058,434 614,611 382,487 320,000 375,000 -100.00% Vehicles 153,815 33,920 49,700 63,500 NON-OPERATING EXPENSES Transfers to Other Funds 381,979 45,623 48,667 48,667 0N:®.:..-t�PER�i°Tt .... .. & 6 GCdtldDtat(sj��ae ��J �v3$z_ _ 0f16, a835 -2.13% General Fund 54,741,037 56,014,343 59,036,478 60,016,155 58,971,731 59,334,235 -1.13% Other Funds 1,797,607, 1,522,447 1111,324. 610000 .,.2$27,131.._ 100.00% Cyrand 5ltal( '). &a53$ 4'a, 5k 14, t> 25 Sr8fi �.33+i' 5 -2.13% Pesonel .. 0.00 195 Item 30 - Page 494 -636- Mrs. Gretchen A.

Box 121 Sunset Beach, CA 90742 September 20, 2010 p-_ Blair Farley, Chairman Huntington Beach Planning Department 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Re: Negative Declaration No. 10-005 re Sunset Beach Annexation Hearing Date: September 28, 2010 Dear Chairman Farley, I am writing to challenge the Draft Negative Impact,Report prepared for the Sunset Beach Annexation Project on the grounds that annexation will result in reduced police and other resources, thereby significantly impacting the environment of this unique coastal area. The City budget for the current year has reduced police services and the Huntington Beach Annexation Report calls for spreading the existing police services over the larger service area produced by annexation. However, Sunset Beach is not merely a neighborhood of 1240 residents, it is a beach destination for visitors and tourists and has numerous bars and restaurants fronting on a major state highway. These types of facilities plus traffic safety issues result in a need for law enforcement beyond those currently provided to the City of Huntington Beach. The added factor of the upcoming redevelopment in downtown Huntington Beach, with added restaurants, bars and other tourist activities and to increase downtown residential housing, will call for greater police presence in the City. This will further dilute the law enforcement services available to Sunset Beach. The Annexation Report lists several vital beach maintenance needs that are presently unfunded: The need for a large sand sifter, staff to operate it, rental space to store it and personal and equipment needed to transport it to Sunset Beach for service. This sand sifter is an important component of beach quality, and no provision has been made in the current City budget. Such lack of funding source will have a significant and serious environmental impact on beach cleanliness and quality- Because of the above, I request that the Environmental Impact Report No 10-005 be amended from a Negative Declaration to one that adequately addresses these safety and beach quality issues and declares them to be significant impacts on the sensitive coastal environment. Yours truly, Gretchen A. Hoad [A 2- 1 M -637- Item 13. - Page 495 F CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH f3 Inter Office Communication Planning and Building Department TO: Planning Commission FROM: Scott Hess, AICP,Director of Planning and Buildi(6) DATE: September 27, 2010 SUBJECT: SUNSET BEACH SPECIFIC PLAN -LATE COMMUNICATION PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 27,2010 Attached please find revised pages for the Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan, Attachment No. 7 to the Planning Commission staff report. A summary of the changes is provided below. Topic: Entitlement Processing The County's existing Specific Plan states that only a coastal development permit will be required, in lieu of any other discretionary permit except for a tentative map or a variance. In addition, it states that all coastal development permits will be heard by the Planning Commission. However, County staff and members of the Sunset Beach LCP Review Board have indicated that the County has been requiring use permits for many applications, at the discretion of staff, and almost all of the use permits and/or coastal development permits are considered by the County Zoning Administrator. Occasionally, the County Planning Director refers an application to the Planning Commission. As a result and in consultation with Sunset Beach LCP Review Board members, staff is recommending changes to the processing requirements as indicated on revised Attachment Nos. 7.35, 7.40, and 7.60. In summary, staff is recommending that a conditional use permit to the Zoning Administrator be required for uses in the Sunset Beach Tourist(SBT) area. This processing requirement would be consistent with the City's Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (ZSO), which requires a CUP for commercial uses within 300 feet of residential; given the compact nature of Sunset Beach, all SBT properties meet this criterion. For the residential area(SBR), staff is recommending that the Specific Plan be changed to indicate that the Zoning Administrator would consider any required coastal development permit in the residential area for"principal permitted uses," which is consistent with how the County has been processing requests as well as the City's ZSO. Staff has made a reference to the ZSO for condominium conversions, which would require a conditional use permit to the Planning Commission in addition to a coastal development permit. For the "other permitted uses" in the SBR area,the CUPs would be considered by the Planning Commission, consistent with the ZSO. Item 13. m Page 49 -6313TE COMMUNISATION #�-2 PC MTG 09-2$-2010 Topic: Portable Signs A revision to Attachment No. 7.56 is requested by the Sunset Beach LCP Review Board to indicate that portable signs would not be permitted in a pedestrian right-of-way. Staff is in agreement with this request. Please contact Mary Beth Broeren at 714-536-5550 or via email at mbroerenksurfcity-hb.org if you have any questions. xc: Mary Beth Broeren,Planning Manager Herb Fauland,Planning Manager G:\admItr\2010\0910mbbI -639- Item 13® - Page 497 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan 3.3.1 Sunset Beach Residential A.

In response to a request from the Sunset Beach Community Association Transition Committee, existing County policy 2.3.3 would be deleted (shown as double strikeout on the attached page). The Committee does not believe that the policy is necessary, and North Pacific Avenue is already two-way from 2nd Street to Warner Avenue. City Planning and Public Works staff reviewed the request and are in agreement. xc: Mary Beth Broeren,Planning Manager Herb Fauland,Planning Manager G:\admltr\2010\0910mbb2 Item 13® - Page ®2 e6� TE COMMUNICATION 113-2 PC MTG 09-28-2010 Draft Sunset Beach Specific Plan within Sunset Beach can facilitate the flow of traffic. Expanded transit service along Pacific Coast Highway and through the area, to be provided as demand warrants and as financial resources become available, should encourage additional transit use and might somewhat reduce traffic along Pacific Coast Highway. Pacific Coast Highway is operated and maintained by the State Department of Transportation (CalTrans). Thus, any improvement to the Highway is subject to their approval. Local circulation within the Sunset Beach community is tied to parking opportunities and traffic control. Traffic patterns seaward of Pacific Coast Highway revolve around the parking facility located between North and South Pacific Avenues. Traffic movements on other streets are limited by narrow right-of-way and heavy on-street parking. Although there are adequate parking spaces available to meet public, commercial, and residential parking demand, the distribution of available parking negatively affects the supply- demand balance, which causes deficiencies to occur in certain areas. To alleviate the problem, existing parking opportunities need to be retained within the community and maximized wherever possible. Adequate off-street parking will be required in conjunction with all new development or redevelopment of properties. Specific policies and guidelines relating to parking are included in this Specific Plan. Increased transit service and bicycling opportunities should provide access to beach uses without requiring such additional parking. Local circulation and traffic safety will be enhanced by appropriate speed limits. It is expected that the existing 15 miles per hour speed limit on all Sunset Beach Streets, except Pacific Coast Highway, will be retained; however, speed limits must be periodically reviewed to be enforceable. Circulation and safety will also be enhanced by retention of the parking restrictions on North and South Pacific Avenues. Also, conversion of Bay View Drive to one-way operations will be evaluated as a means to improve circulation inland of Pacific Coast Highway. Based on the foregoing, the following circulation policies shall be adhered to: Transportation/Circulation 2.3.1 Speed limits shall be periodically reviewed and vigorously enforced on all local streets within Sunset Beach. 2.3.2 The City shall work with CalTrans to maintain and/or improve signal timing on Pacific Coast Highway. peso!to wide.. offia -treet to provide two way tfalk 2.3.4 —3 The feasibility of converting local streets west Of BFeadway' to one-way circulation shall be evaluated.

As the Sunset Beach Community Association has not had the opportunity to vote on the issue of obtaining legal council in this matter and have been relying on the "Transition Committee"to collect and express the wishes and needs of our community; I feel this processes has been extremely accelerated and does not allow for proper representation, accurate information or adequate notice. As stated in Attachment No. 10.41 in regards to Sunset Beach having legal representation--it is NOT accurate. The"Transition Committee"has been circulating a list that has minute input from the community at large and has NOT been approved or voted on by the Sunset Beach Community Association Board. The issues raised and presented were from an original list by a self appointed committee with their own agenda prior to the annexation vote on August 2,2010. The "Transition Committee"is spending most of their time responding to emails regarding agendas of those who want to be on the committee. The committee is riddled with personal agendas, some are drunk with power, and as one committee member stated in an email: they are only adding or addressing the issues brought up by the community if they -the committee-deem the issue "worthy". This has been a great disservice to the residence of Sunset Beach. Your staff has been rushed to meet deadlines in this matter that have left many inaccuracies and too many unknowns with too many variables of taking Sunset Beach. The September 28, 2010 report was made available 4 business days prior to this meeting. It does not leave enough time to review and isn't allowing enough time for review&response by the citizens of Sunset Beach. If this report was submitted in a legal setting, even an experiencchitigator would be given more time to review and respond. As an active Sunset Beach community member I missed the few public notices of these meetings. The average Sunset Beach resident is not aware of these meetings on the issue of annexation and most have been during business hours. Communication, issues and decisions between Huntington Beach and the Transition Committee isn't being shared with it's own committee members,the SBCA board or the community at large. I am also perplexed as City Councilmen Keith Bohr stated many times in public meetings and to the press that"There will be no changes to Sunset Beach....."and also"The only thing that will be different is that the police cars will say HB on them". So why are these changes being made? The Planning Commission Report neglects to mention in its description of Sunset Beach- Park Ave. & Bayview, Sunset Island, as being apart of Sunset Beach. The report never clarifies if trash services will continue under the Sunset Beach Sanitary District. Library services will continue with Seal Beach, yet HB will be receiving the tax benefit. The report neglects the fact that Sunset Beach is primarily a residential area. And that the ownership of the beach is currently in question and ownership may not be that of the county. Item 13. - Page 506 -648- On Page 31 in the report it smoothes over the timelines of the different processes with LAFCO concerning Incorporation and Annexation. Also neglected in the report is the fact that Sunset Beach's process of Incorporation was squashed by a handful of Sunset Beach residents and the statements made by Joyce Crosswaithe of LAFCO at the August 2,2010 HB City Council meeting and also the vote on the issue of annexation. The issue of Police,Fire& Lifeguard services has been addressed in other protests and I agree along with the Citizen's Association of Sunset Beach and others who have responded. It does not make sense that you can provide services at no cost yet laying off,downsizing,and in need of$3million to$5million in equipment. In the peak of summer HB closed lifeguard stands in public areas yet;all the of emergency services required for our community of 1200 plus residents and 200,000 plus beach goers in Sunset Beach will be protected?In attachment No. 10-05 #2 the comparative cost for police &fire is for mutual aid and does not reflect regular preventative patrolling and are not at our current level of services and coverage. The issue of water shortage projected for Huntington Beach of 25%in the near future is not addressed. Referencing a document written in 1995 on water issues is outdated. A 15 year old master plan. In attachment No. 02.29 and 05.18 our main beach in Sunset Beach is not referenced only our beach on 11t' Street and PCH. There are no fire rings,trails,bike pathor any other details listed in this report. Many of the facts and figures quoted in the document and offer of the use of the Sunset Beach Fire Station were from the Seal Beach report that was a rough draft of services if we were to become a part of Seal Beach and not accurate to Huntington Beach. There are too many assumptions of statements regarding the Sunset Beach Community Association and not confirmed or agreed upon. Unfortunately I was unable to completely review the report and the many issues and details within the report. I feel the entire document and process should not move forward without accurate information and proper legal&community representation for the residents of Sunset Beach in the is matter. There are too many cost unknowns and too many variables that have not been addressed. There are too many limited aspectspeing addressed and flooding is yet another example. !tis�'fi I strongly request that report after tonight. documentse protestspf this action and corrects all the inaccuracies, omitted expenses of city services and neglected issues. Sincerely, , ,_. v� Diana Dodson PO Box 202 Sunset Beach, CA 90742 28 year resident Sunset Beach&environs -649- Item 13. - Page 507 i(e� 9 No September 28, 2010 Blair Farley, Chairman Huntington Beach Planning Commission 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Dear Chairman Farley: 1 am writing in regard to the Hearing on Sunset Beach Annexation by Huntington Beach on this date. There are numerous reasons why Huntington Beach should not annex Sunset Beach. The first reason is that Huntington Beach does not have any business annexing another town when they are already three million dollars in debt. They are stating that they can just absorb any and all expenses but do not show in their reports how that can be done. There was an article recently in the newspaper about their need for additional health and safety equipment, and yet the proposed budget for FY 2010-11 shows zero for police capital expenditures for improvements, equipment and vehicles. Regarding water, Attachment#2.29 talks about inadequate storage facilities but Policies contained in the 1995 Water Master Plan will address the inadequacies. It talks about the existing water distribution system being inadequate, but the 1995 Master Plan will address those inadequacies. It says it will participate in the Orange County Water District's project, anticipated start up date is 1997. Have these issues been addressed in the past 13-15 years? Where does the water issue stand now? Regarding the Sunset Beach Sanitary District, we have nothing in writing that states that Huntington Beach and/or Lafco will not place the District in the Huntington Beach sphere of influence and it will be swept into Huntington Beach like the town is being treated. There is also nothing in the reports that addresses trash pickup for Sunset Beach. Our trash is handled by the SBSD and paid through our properly taxes along with the sewer expense. We are not interested in Huntington Beach taking care of this service and charging additional fees. Sunset's main beach should not be co-mingled with the Huntington Beach City Beach in your descriptions. We don't have and don't want fire rings. There is no bike trail separated from vehicular traffic in Sunset Beach. There are many inaccuracies in your reports because H.B. is trying to rush through our annexation before there is a change in the City Council. There was no reason why H.B. couldn't have postponed doing anything about annexation until we had a chance to go through the Lafco process and have a Comprehensive Feasibility Analysis. Regarding Attachment 10.4, with a current budget deficit of three million dollars, how is H.B. going to pay Sunset Beach's share of the $1,500,000 of the dredging project for . Sunset Harbor? Item 13. - Page 508 -650- S Regarding the Sunset Beach Fire Station #3, according to an article in the paper we would not be losing the fire station if we were not going to be annexed to H.B. AND, it was never the intent that the fire station would be a police substation. That was a story that was spun out of offering to let Seal Beach occasionally use it to write their reports like we offered the O.C. Sheriffs. Many years ago the residents of Sunset Beach raised the money (through carnivals, etc.) to buy the three lots. They agreed to donate one lot.to Orange County for use as a fire station with local residents as volunteers. The fire station should be given back to the residents or, at the very least, sold back at a reasonable price. With reference to Attachment#10.43, we asked many times and in many ways for H.B. to back off and allow Sunset to see if we could feasibly be incorporated. We should - have-been allowed by Lafco to proceed with the Comprehensive Feasibility Analysis, but Joyce stated at the Huntington Beach Council Meeting in August that if H.B. voted to annex Sunset Beach she would not accept our$100,000.00 to do the study. With reference to Attachment#10.41, you are correct that the majority of Sunset Beach residents voted to seek incorporation if it was feasible in our survey of 2009. You are not correct about an attorney. The Incorporation Committee did raise money and did hire an attorney a few times to make sure we were doing the process correctly. However, the Transition Team from Sunset Beach has not retained a law firm and should have. The Transition Team does not, in my opinion, represent the majority of Sunset Beach residents. i respectfully request that the Planning Commission take more time to get all of the facts and figures correct before they proceed with annexing Sunset Beach.
