The requests have been appealed by Mayor Jim Silva to further discuss issues involving school closure, high density residential projects, public open space, and mitigation measures included in the Environmental Impact Report . RECOMMENDATION• Planning Commission and Staff Recommendation: Motion to: A. Certify as adequate Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3 by adopting Resolution No. 637/ ; and B. Deny General Plan Amendment No. 90-8; and C. Deny Zone Change -No. 90-17 with findings . " ANALYSIS• Background: On January 7, 1992, the Planning Commission reviewed and discussed a proposal to redesignate 18 . 34 gross acres from Public, Quasi-Public, Institutional to Medium-High Density (13 .26 gross acres) and General Commercial (5 . 08 gross acres) at the Wintersburg School Site. In addition, the Planning Commission reviewed Zone Change No . 90-17 and Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3 with suggested mitigation measures . ►1 P10 5/85 j Following a staff report, public testimony and further discussion, the Planning Commission continued General Plan Amendment No. 90-8, Zone Change No. 90-17 and Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3 to give the applicant the opportunity to meet with staff to further discuss land use alternatives on the subject property. On March 17, 1992 the Planning Commission reviewed a modified proposal to redesignate 11. 93 gross acres from Public, Quasi-Public, Institutional to Medium-High Density Residential (R3) , with no commercial component . After a second public hearing and discussion. on the proposal for market-rate multi-family apartment units, the Commission recommended denial of the applicant 's request as no public benefit would result from the loss of land designated Public, Quasi—Public, Institutional (Community Facilities-Educational Facilities) . PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION ON MARCH 17, 1992: THE MOTION MADE BY KIRKLAND, SECONDED BY NEWMAN, TO APPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 90-3 BY ADOPTING PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 1457, DENY GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 90-8 (RESOLUTION NO. 1458) AND DENY ZONE CHANGE 90-17 CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: KIRKLAND, NEWMAN, RICHARDSON, BOURGUIGNON, LEIPZIG NOES: NONE ABSTAIN: SHOMAKER, DETTLOFF ABSENT: NONE Project Analysis : After an initial proposal to redesignate 18 .36 gross acre of land designated Public, Quasi-Public, Institutional to General Commercial and Medium-High Density Residential, the applicant now requests the approval of a General Plan Amendment to redesignate 11. 93 gross acres to Medium-High Density Residential (R3) with no commercial component (see attachment no. 6) . Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 90-3 was prepared to analyze potential impacts from the original proposal, as well as five (5) land use alternatives . The EIR addressed four impacts that could not be mitigated to levels of insignificance which included Project Air Quality, Cumulative Air Quality, Project Construction Noise, and . Cumulative Water Impacts (see attachment no. 8) . However, due to the removal of the commercial component from the applicant ' s initial proposal, impacts to air quality, traffic, public services and utilities would be proportionately reduced to levels of insignificance. Project construction noise would be the only impact . that could not be mitigated. to a level of insignificance. RCA 5/4/92 -2- (3052d) The Planning Commission and staff discussion revolved around the loss of an existing public resource. Loss of land designated for public use is seldom re-acquired. Staff believes that in the event of the loss of public property, the public should receive some benefit in exchange, such as affordable housing, day care facilities, recreational facilities, etc. Although there was discussion to provide affordable housing, there has not been any affordable housing component in any of the applicants proposals . Staff does not support the request as the development would replace a valuable public resource with private residential units . The educational and recreational benefits presently available to the public would be lost indefinitely by redesignating the property to Medium-High Density Residential . Staff believes the uncertainty in the City' s demographic projections and future student population are reasons to preserve the Quasi-Public, Institutional designation on the property. It is entirely possible that the land use patterns will change in such a manner as to overburden both our capability for expanded school facilities as well as recreational opportunities. Staff believes that the proposed use is not in the best interest of the community and that any development should include a public benefit in one form or another. Staff Alternatives: Staff has provided two alternatives, both of which include an affordable housing component (see attachment no. 7) . The first alternative involves the redesignation of 8 acres to Medium Density Residential (R2) with a minimum of 20% of the units designated as affordable. It would allow development of up to 131 multi-family units on the parcel which the Wintersburg School buildings currently occupy. This alternative would retain all recreational facilities on the Oceanview High School site. The second alternative involves the redesignation of 11. 93 gross acres to Medium-High Density Residential (R3) with the requirement that all units constructed over and above 131 units' be designated affordable. As discussed above, 131 units would be allowed to be constructed under an R2 zoning. This alternative would require the developer to designate all units built over 131 as affordable with a maximum total of 295 units . Environmental Status: In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3 (DEIR No. 90-3) was prepared to analyze the potential impacts of the project. The request procedure that followed is outlined below: September 26, 1990 Staff conducted an initial study and determined that an EIR would be necessary for the project. RCA - 5/4/92 -3- (3052d) • • March 12, 1991 A Notice of Preparation was filed with the State Clearinghouse to notify the public of the intent to prepare an EIR. June 25, 1991 Notice of Completion filed with the State Clearinghouse. The Draft EIR was available for public review and comments for forty-five days (comment period: June 26, 1991 to August 9, 1991) Staff received five (5) letters during the review period which have been addressed in the EIR. Prior to any action on General Plan Amendment No. 90-8 and Zone Change No. 90-17, EIR No. 90-3 must be adopted and certified by the City Council based on the findings outlined. FUNDING SOURCE: Not Applicable. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The City Council may take one of the following alternative actions: 1. A.

Specifically, the notices stated that challenges in court will be confined to issues raised at the Planning Commission, whereas the notices should have stated that judicial challenges will be confined to issues raised at the City Council hearing. You have asked whether the numerous public hearings which are affected by this error should be removed from the agenda and renoticed. It is my opinion that the mistake may be corrected by correcting the agenda before you post it and by announcing, at the Council meeting, prior to the public hearings, that future challenges in court, if any, may be limited to the issues presented before the City Council. I will caution you that this is only my opinion and a future court might well disagree with it. Absolute certainty that the effects of the defective notice will be corrected can only be attained by renoticing all of the hearings involved. Should you decide not to renotice and reschedule the hearings in question, the consequences could be that an aggrieved party who later might sue the City would not be limited to raising just those issues raised at the public hearing, but could base•the action on any issue legally possible. On balance, I feel that the risk to the City is not as substantial as would be the expense and inconvenience to the public which renoticing would entail. It is your decision as to how you wish to proceed. Thank you.

Since the meeting, the applicant has submitted a modified request to redesignate 11. 93 gross acres for Medium-High Density Residential (R3) purposes . The revised request excludes the entire commercial component and reduces the residential area from 13 .26 gross acres to 11. 93 gross acres . Although the modified request would reduce several of the environmental impacts addressed in Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3, due to the deletion of the commercial component, staff remains concerned over the loss of property designated Public, Quasi-Public Institutional . As discussed and analyzed in the Planning Commission staff report dated January 7, 1992, staff does not support the removal of public uses for purposes of market rate apartment units .

" • • 2 . 0 GENERAL INFORMATION: General Plan Amendment No. 90-8, Zone Change No. 90-17 and Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3 were continued by the Planning Commission on February 4, 1992, to give the applicant the opportunity to meet with planning staff to discuss land use alternatives on the subject property. The applicant has submitted a modified proposal deleting the commercial component and reducing the Medium-High Density request to 11.93 gross acres . 3 . 0 SURROUNDING LAND USE, ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATIONS: North of Subiect Property: GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: General Commercial ZONE: C2 (Community Business District) LAND USE: Retail Commercial Center East of Subject Property: GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Public, Quasi-Public, Institutional ZONE: RA (Residential Agriculture/Community Facilities-Education) LAND USE: Oceanview High School South of Subject Property: GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Low Density Residential ZONE: R1-FP2 (Low Density Residential-Floodplain) LAND USE: Single Family Residences West of Subject Property: GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: General Commercial/High Density Residential ZONE: C4-FP2 (Highway Commercial-Floodplain) R3-FP2 (Medium-High Density Residential-Floodplain) LAND USE: Retail Commercial Center/Apartment Complex 4 . 0 ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3 (DEIR No. 90-3) was prepared to analyze the potential impacts of the project. The request procedure that followed is outlined below: September 26, 1990 Staff conducted an initial study and determined that an EIR would be necessary for the project. Staff Report 3/17/92 -2- (2570d) March 12, 1991 A Notice of Preparation was filed with the State Clearinghouse to notify the public of the intent to prepare an EIR. June 25, 1991 Notice of Completion filed with the State Clearinghouse. The Draft EIR was available for public review and comments for forty-five days (comment period: June 26, 1991 to. August 9, 1991) In addition to the proposed project, DEIR No. 90-3 analyzed five (5) alternative land use designations for the site. These alternatives consist of the following: 1. A "no project" alternative, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act, which considers the project site in its existing state (school offices and athletic facilities) . 2. Development at a lesser intensity (Medium-High Density Residential) - 260 multi-family units, 22,000 square feet of retail space, 20, 000 square foot school district office. 3 . Development of single family patio homes (R2-PD) ; 240 units at 15 units per net acre. 4 . Development of General Commercial on the entire site - 140, 000 square feet of retail uses . 5 . Development at an alternate location (Meadowlark Specific Plan) . At the time the project was submitted, there were a series of court cases pending which would have required alternate location analysis . These cases have since been overturned by the California Supreme Court . Staff received five (5) letters during the review period which have been addressed in the EIR. Prior to any action on General Plan Amendment No. 90-8 and Zone Change No. 90-17, EIR No. 90-3 must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission based on the findings outlined. 5 . 0 COASTAL STATUS: Not applicable. 6 . 0 REDEVELOPMENT STATUS: Not applicable. 7. 0 SPECIFIC PLAN: Not applicable. 8 . 0 SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE: Not applicable. 9 . 0 ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Following the action taken by the Planning Commission on January 7, 1992, staff scheduled a meeting with the applicant to discuss possible alternatives for the project site. On January 14 , 1992, representatives from the Andover/Chandler Co. , Huntington Beach Unified High School District Board of Trustees and District staff Staff Report 3/17/92 -3- (2570d) met with three Planning Commissioners and Planning staff to review potential land uses for the project site. APPLICANT' S MODIFIED REOUEST: Since the January 14, 1992 meeting, the applicant has submitted a modified proposal to redesignate 11. 93 gross acres (10 . 86 net) to Medium-High Density Residential (R3) with no affordable housing or commercial component. Approval of the applicant ' s request would allow construction of up to 296 apartment units or 291 condominium units on the property while retaining the football field and track at the corner of Goldenwest and Warner (see Attachment No. 2) . The proposal to construct the school district office and commercial node has also been withdrawn from the request. However, staff does not support the loss of public open space for the purpose of developing market-rate apartment units . The issues identified and discussed in the Planning Commission staff report dated January 7, 1992 (Attachment No. 4) remain a concern to staff . These include the loss of a public resource, loss of open space and recreational facilities, the inability to expand or establish school facilities, and incompatibility with the single family residential development to the south. Staff does not support the request as the devlopment would replace a valuable public resource with private residential units . The educational and recreational benefits presently available to the public would be lost indefinitely by rezoning the property. Staff believes the uncertainty in the City' s demographic projections and future student population are reasons to preserve the Quasi-Public, Institutional designation on the property. Once public land is lost, it is seldom re-aquired. It is entirely possible that the land use patterns will change in such a manner as to overburden both our capability for expanded school facilities as well as recreational opportunities . Staff believes that the proposed use is not in the best interest of the community and that any development should include a public benefit in one form or another. Both the City staff and the environmental impact report consultant concur that the environmental impacts addressed and analyzed in Environmental Impact Report no. 90-3 will proportionately be reduced with the development of the applicant ' s modified proposal . Traffic, air quality, public services and utilities would all have reduced impacts to levels of insignificance. Based upon the revised project and clarification by the City of Huntington Beach Water Department, the three (3) impacts identified below are no longer considered unavoidable significant impacts . Cumulative and Project Air Quality Impacts Deletion of the commercial component of the original project will result in a 60-70 percent reduction in projected emissions and will reduce the project ' s emissions below SCAQMD air pollutant threshold criteria. The amended project will also reduce the projects ' contribution to cumulative air quality impacts to a level which can be mitigated to a level of insignificance by measures identified in Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3 . Staff Report 3/17/92 -4- (2570d) Project Water Impacts Based upon information provided by the City of Huntington Beach Water Operations Manager at the November 5, 1991 Planning Commission Study Session, it was determined that the original projects ' contribution to water impacts could be mitigated by payment of fairshare fees toward water system improvements identified in the City of Huntington Beach Water Master Plan. The revised project will result in a 7-8 percent reduction in projected water usage as compared to the original project. Water impacts resulting from the revised project can also be mitigated through payment of fairshare fees . Project Construction Noise Impacts will be reduced by the lower intensity development proposed by the revised project but will remain an unavoidable significant adverse impact as identified in Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3 . Staff Alternatives Staff has provided two alternatives, both of which include an affordable housing component (see Section 12 .0 Alternative Action) . One alternative involves the redesignation of 8 acres to Medium Density Residential (R2) with a minimum of 20% of the units as affordable. It would allow development of up to 131 multi-family units on the parcel which the Wintersburg School buildings currently exist . This alternative would retain all recreational facilities on the Oceanview High School site. The second alternative involves the redesignation of 11. 93 gross acres to Medium-High Density Residential (R3) with the requirement that all units constructed over and above 131 units be designated affordable. As discussed above, 131 units would be allowed to be constructed under an R2 zoning. This alternative would require the developer to designate all units built over 131 as affordable with a maximum total of 295 units . 10 . 0 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions : A. Adopt and certify as adequate Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3 by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1457 and forward it to the City Council for their adoption and certification; B. Deny General Plan Amendment No. 90-8 by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1458 and forward it to the City Council with a recommendation of denial; and C. Deny Zone Change No. 90-17 with findings . Staff Report 3/17/92 -5- (2570d) FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - ZONE CHANGE NO, 90-17: 1. The Planning Commission finds that Zone Change No. 90-17 is inconsistent with the goals and policies of the Land Use, Open Space/Conservation and Recreation Element of the General Plan, and thus limits the area ' s ability to meet future demands for school expansion and recreational open space. 2 . The Planning Commission finds that a change in zoning from Residential Agriculture to Medium-High Density Residential will prohibit future expansion of the recreational facilities, eliminate recreational open space and eliminate an existing view corridor due to the future development of residential buildings . The proposed zone change will also limit the future expansion of the existing school facility or construction of a new school. 3 . The Planning Commission finds that the land use designation and zoning of Medium-High Density Residential is too intense for the project site and is not compatible with the low density residential located to the south. 4 . The Planning Commission finds that the land use designation and zoning of Medium-High Density Residential will increase traffic during peak traffic hours in the project vicinity which would adversely affect the general welfare of the surrounding community. 5 . The Planning Commission finds that the land use designation and zoning of Medium-High Density Residential will negatively impact existing sewer capacities in the project vicinity until such time that the Slater Pump Station is expanded. 12 . 0 ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The Planning Commission may take one of the following alternative actions : Alternative Action No. 1: A. Recommend that the City Council adopt and certify as adequate EIR No . 90-3 by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1457; B. Recommend to the City Council approval of GPA No. 90-8 for Medium Density Residential (15 units per gross acre) on 8 acres with a 20% affordable component; and C. Recommend to the City Council approval of Zone Change No. 90-17 for Medium Density Residential (R2) zoning with findings . Alternative Action No . 2 (Applicant ' s Request) : A. Recommend that the City Council adopt and certify as adequate EIR No. 90-3 by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1457; Staff Report 3/17/92 -6- (2570d) B. Recommend to the City Council approval of General Plan Amendment No . 90-8 for Medium-High Density Residential (25 units per gross acre) on 11. 93 gross acres by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1459 with Statement of Overriding Considerations; and C. Recommend to the City Council approval of Zone Change No. 90-17 with findings . Alternative Action No. 3 : A. Recommend that the City Council adopt and certify as adequate EIR No. 90-3 by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1457; B. Recommend to the City Council approval of General Plan Amendment No. 90-8 for Medium-High Density Residential (25 units per gross acre) on 11.93 gross acres with a minimum affordable unit requirement being the difference between the number of approved units with 131 units.

"Deny Zone Change No. 90-17 with findings . " 2 . 0 GENERAL INFORMATION: General Plan Amendment No. 90-8 is a request to redesignate an 18.34 gross acre site, located south of Warner Avenue, east of Goldenwest Street, from a General Plan land use designation of Public, Quasi-Public, Institutional to Medium-High Density Residential on 13 .26 gross acres, and to General Commercial on the remaining 5. 08 gross acres . Zone Change No. 90-17 is a concurrent request to rezone 15 . 85 net acres from RA (Residential Agriculture) to R3-FP2 (Medium-High Density Residential-Floodplain) on 12 . 10 net acres, and C2-FP2 (Community Business-Floodplain) on 3 . 75 net acres . Draft Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3 (DEIR No. 90-3) prepared by Cotton Beland and Associates, consultant to the City of Huntington Beach discusses potential impacts of the general plan amendment and zone change. These impacts include light and glare, land use compatibility, transportation/circulation, public service and utilities, air quality, noise, growth management and archeological resources . The EIR has indicated that most of the adverse impacts resulting from the project could be adequately mitigated to levels of insignificance. The EIR identifies air quality as an adverse impact that cannot be mitigated. These entitlements are submitted for review by the Planning Commission for a recommendation which then will be forwarded to the City Council for final action. Although the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change do not constitute any new development, it will allow for residential and commercial development of the site. If approved, the amendment request will allow for development of a maximum 333 apartment units or 325 condominium units on the residential portion of the site and development of 3 . 75 acres of commercial . No development plans have been submitted at this time; however, the applicant has submitted conceptual plans depicting 260 apartment units, a 20, 000 square foot school district office and 22,000 square feet of retail commercial . This report is designed to investigate the concerns associated with the proposed amendment to the Land Use Element of the General Plan and to identify whether such an action is compatible with surrounding land uses and in conformance with the goals and policies of the General Plan.

The requesite procedure that followed is outlined below: September 26, 1990 Staff conducted an initial study and determined that an EIR would be necessary for the project. March 12, 1991 A Notice of Preparation was filed with the State Clearinghouse to notify the public of the intent to prepare an EIR. June 25, 1991 Notice of Completion filed with the State Clearinghouse. The Draft EIR was available for public review and comments for forty-five days (comment period: June 26, 1991 to August 9, 1991) Staff Report - 12/3/91 -3- (1538d) In addition to the proposed project, DEIR No. 90-3 analyzed five (5) alternative land use designations for the site. These alternatives consist of the following: 1. A "no project" alternative, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act, which considers the project site in its existing state (school offices and athletic facilities) . 2 . Development at a lesser intensity (Medium-High Density Residential) - 260 multi-family units, 22, 000 square feet of retail space, 20, 000 square foot school district office. 3 . Development of single family patio homes (R2-PD) ; 240 units at 15 units per net acre. 4 . Development of General Commercial on the entire site - 140,000 square feet of retail uses . 5 . Development at an alternate location (Meadowlark Specific Plan) .At the time the project was submitted, there were a series of court cases pending which would have required alternate location analysis . These cases have since been overturned by the California Supreme Court. Staff received five (5) letters during the review period which have been addressed in the EIR. Prior to any action on General Plan Amendment No. 90-8 and Zone Change No. 90-17, EIR No. 90-3 must be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission based on the findings outlined. 5 . 0 COASTAL STATUS: Not applicable. 6. 0 REDEVELOPMENT STATUS: Not applicable. 7. 0 SPECIFIC PLAN: Not applicable. 8 . 0 SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE: Not applicable. 9 . 0 ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: The proposed project includes development on approximately 16 .0 acres of property designated for Community Educational Facilities . Existing uses include the Wintersburg High School and portable trailers with related parking on approximately 7 acres adjacent to Goldenwest Street . The remaining 9 acres near the intersection of Goldenwest and Warner are occupied by the Ocean View High School athletic fields. Staff Report - 12/3/91 -4- (1538d) The primary issue raised by this project is how the City should plan for the recycling or development of its land designated as public space. All other issues are subordinate to this basic question. Public, Quasi-Public, Institutional land is an extremely important asset to the community, and should be analyzed from a City-wide perspective. The decision which the Planning Commission should consider is whether or not public uses are of greater value to the City on the site in the longer term than residential or commercial. It may also be that there are other uses of the property from which the entire public can benefit if the property is developed. This possibility will be explored in Section 10 . 0 Alternatives . When analyzing general plan amendments, it is the staff ' s responsibility to address issues relative to long term impacts (more than 20 years) . There is not much emperical data available today that allows for logical extrapolition so far into the future. We do know, however, that Holly-Seacliff, Bolsa-Chica, Meadowlark, NESI, Waterfront and Downtown Development will generate about 14, 000 new units. What we do not know is the demographics of how property will recycle. Because of this uncertainty, staff has the added concern as to educational demands which will be placed on the City' s school system. It is entirely possible that the demographics, and land use patterns will change in such a manner as to overburden both our capability for expanded school facilities as well as recreation opportunities in the next 20 years . It is ap parent that the site has been a very significant and substantial public resource for the past 20 years . It is centrally located in the community and is comparable in size and function to a community park. In fact, the City in planning the size, location and uses of its park facilities has historically taken into account the recreation resources provided by school sites . Currently, the facility is used extensively by a number of groups for soccer, track and field, basketball, softball and baseball . The school district has found that it is feasible to relocate all athletic functions into the remainder of its property, closer to the Ocean View High School. A new configuration of athletic fields allows all fields to be placed within a smaller area. Such reconfiguration while continuing to allow the same uses, will cause a compaction of those uses and a reduction of open area. The proposed compaction of uses could be detrimental to those individuals and groups who use the field space for active and passive recreation. Adult education classes and guidance counseling will also be relocated to Edison High School . Ultimately, elimination of public land will place a burden on the City' s other facilities . The recycling of school facilities for development is a recent trend in the City which needs a great deal more attention. The Department of Community Services has become increasingly concerned with the incremental elimination of recreation opportunities . There are Staff Report - 12/3/91 -5- (1538d) numerous school sites throughout the City which are currently closed. Some of these schools along with their recreation facilities are being proposed for development in the immediate future. Public land once lost can seldom be re-acquired. The escalation of land costs in the City during the 1980s has made it financially prohibitive to re-create a public amenity of this size. There are two additional land related concerns raised by this proposal . The first involves the over saturation of retail space at the Goldenwest/Warner Avenue intersection. There are currently several major vacancies on the northwest corner of this intersection. The proposal presented offers what appears to be marginal retail space. The second concern is the compability problem created by placing Medium-High Density Residential directly adjacent to single family homes. As currently anticipated, the apartments would be within 45 feet of the single family homes, with driveways approximately 220 feet apart. KEY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: Traffic/Circulation EIR No. 90-3 has indicated that intersections in the project vicinity are operating at Levels of Service (LOS) A-D, and can adequately accommodate the additional trips generated by the proposed development, with the exception of the intersection of Beach and Warner. The analysis identified three (3) intersections that will experience changes in levels of service during AM or PM peak hours . These intersections include: Level of Service Existing Existing + Project AM PM AM PM Beach/Warner (C) (D) (D) (E) Goldenwest/Warner (B) (D) (C) (D) Gothard/Warner (C) (D) (D) (D) The project will impact all three intersections during the AM peak hour to the point that levels of services will change. In addition, the project will also impact the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue during the PM peak hour reducing the level of service (D to E) . This change is considered to be a significant impact. EIR No. 90-3 identifies the inclusion of the Superstreet improvements as a migitation measure to reduce the impact to levels of insignificance. In addition to the demand on the major intersections, the EIR discussed vehicle trips generated by the proposed project. The project will generate approximately 8,221 additional trips on an average weekday, most of which will be oriented to/from either Beach Boulevard or the San Diego Freeway (I-405) . EIR No. 90-3 identifies several mitigation measures, including the additional lanes provided by the Superstreet project that will reduce the traffic/circulation to a level of insignificance. Staff Report - 12/3/91 -6- (1538d) Noise Noise in the vicinity is caused primarily by traffic on Goldenwest Street and Warner Avenue. The General Plan indicates that noise levels in the vicinity are currently at a level of 65 dB CNEL. The project would allow for development of residential units within a 65 CNEL contour. Apart from the noise generated by traffic, the project' s residences will also be affected by noise from the proposed commercial uses and from the athletic fields of the Ocean View High School. Noise from customers and employee vehicles, delivery trucks, and normal business operations of the project shops and restaurants will have an adverse effect on the residences. Air Quality Based on the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) threshold criteria, development of the project will result in two major types of air quality impacts . These include vehicle emissions for heavy equipment and airborne dust resulting from building activities during construction, and vehicle emissions resulting from vehicles travelling to and from the project site upon completion of the proposed project. The project will generate additional emissions exceeding the threshold criteria for carbon monoxide, reactive organic gases, and oxides of nitrogen. Therefore the project results in an impact that cannot be mitigated. Public Services Water The project site currently consumes approximately 9,300 gallons of water per day in operating the school facilities and maintaining the athletic fields . Approximately 70% of the water consumed by the City is pumped from the City' s own wells and 30% of the water is purchased from the Metropolitan Water District. The Water Division has indicated that further residential development in the project vicinity may result in peak hour deficiencies . The City is actively searching for additional long-term water supplies and is currently negotiating with the County for low-cost financing for construction of three new wells. The Water Division estimates that it will take approximately three years for the wells to become operational . While the wells will help alleviate the existing water shortage, additional new water sources will be needed to adequately support new development. The proposed project is expected to consume approximately 73,000 gallons of water daily (based on daily factors of 223 gallons per multi-family unit, and 100 gallons per 1,000 square feet of commercial uses) , which will result in the consumption of an additional 64, 000 gallons of water. Staff Report - 12/3/91 -7- (1538d) Wastewater and Sewage Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3 identifies the proposed project as having an adverse impact upon the sewer capacities of the area. Collection and treatment of wastewater for the project is handled by Orange County Sanitation Treatment Plan No. 2, located at Brookhurst Street and Pacific Coast Highway. The plant is currently operating near capacity and treats about 140 million gallons of wastewater daily. OCSD has plans to increase secondary treatment capacity Elt Plant No. 2 in the future. The project site presently generates approximately 5,000 gallons of wastewater daily. It is serviced by the Slater Pump Station which is presently operating at Capacity. The proposed project will generate approximately 55, 000 gallons of wastewater daily (based on daily factors of 165 gallons per multi-family unit, and 95 gallons per 1, 000 square feet of commercial uses) . The project impact on the Slater Pump Station is considered significant because the station does not have the capacity to receive higher flows than those which will be generated by existing land use plans . The County plans to construct a substation to increase capacity and accommodate new development. No development would be permitted prior to the expansion of the Slater Pump Station. Aesthetics The project site is surrounded by single-family homes, apartment buildings and shopping centers occupying three corners at the intersection of Goldenwest and Warner. The surrounding structures are one to two stories tall and have large surface parking areas . There are no ocean or mountain view corridors obstructed by the proposed project. However, the proposed project will replace approximately 9 acres of open space located on the corner of the site with buildings of 1-2 stories. The development will obstruct the view of green space presently enjoyed by vehicle and pedestrian traffic passing by the site. Retention of the open space will avoid the intensification of land uses on this corner and continue to serve the recreational and open space needs of the community. The five (5) alternatives addressed in the DEIR identify different impacts on surrounding land uses. The following is a brief comparison of impacts resulting from the development of the alternatives and the proposed project: Alternative No 1 - No Project Alternative The "no project" alternative would result in retaining the Wintersburg School and existing athletic fields . No additional environmental impacts are expected to occur. Staff Report - 12/3/91 -8- (1538d) Alternative No 2 - Development at a Lesser Intensity (260 apartment units. 20. 000 square feet school district office, 22. 000 square feet of retail The development of Alternative No. 2 (less intense project) would proportionately reduce the environmental impacts . Traffic, air quality, noise, public services and utilities would all have reduced impacts. Alternative No. 3 - Development of an Alternative Location in Meadowlark Specific Plan The environmental impacts resulting from the development of the project at an alternate location (Meadowlark) would eliminate all impacts from the project site. In effect, impacts would be relocated to the immediate area adjacent to Meadowlark. Alternative No. 4 - Development of Single Family Patio Homes (R2-15 units per acre) Development of 240 Single Family Patio Homes (Alternative No. 4) would generate approximately 653 persons. Population based environmental impacts, including air quality, traffic, utilities and public services would, therefore, be lesser than the proposed project. Development of Alternative No. 4 would be compatible with the existing single family houses located south of the project site. Alternative No. 5 - Development of General Commercial on Entire Site (approximately 140, 000 square feet of retail space) The development of a commercial center on the entire site would generate greater environmental impacts than the project on air quality and traffic, and lesser impacts on population, utilities and public services (Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3) . Development of Alternative No. 5 would eliminate the provision of affordable housing, and possibly create land use conflicts among the shopping center, Ocean View High School and single family residence south of the site. Summary: The staff has identified several negative impacts by redisgnating the property from Public, Quasi-Public Institutional to Medium High Residential and Commercial . These impacts include; permanent loss of public space, loss of view corridor, reduction and completion of recreation facilities, increased traffic and unmitigatable air quality impacts . The development of approximately nine (9) acres of open space will eliminate any future opportunity to develop additional recreational or school facilities . This inability to expand or establish a new school, or provide additional recreational facilities will adversely affect the surrounding community in the event of an influx of school-aged children, or sports organizations . Staff Report - 12/3/91 -9- (1538d) As observed in the 1990 census, there are many uncertainties in population projections . However, the Orange County Demographics Unit projects an increase in population to over 230,000 in the year 2020 . Over a period of 15-25 years, there may be a high demand for school property or recreational space to serve the increase in population. The development of multi-family residential units will also impact the existing single family residences to the south. The development of the proposed project adjacent to low density residential development would result in non-compatible uses due to the density and intensity of the project. Furthermore, the approval of the commercial component would further saturate the retail uses on the corner of Goldenwest and Warner. In addition, the existing view corridor will be replaced with, tennis courts, two story structures and surface parking lots. Currently, this visual relief is enjoyed by many motorists and pedestrians traveling on Goldenwest and Warner. 10 . 0 ALTERNATIVES: The basic concern discussed in this report centers around the loss of public space to a use which does not necessarily benefit the public. The staff would consider supporting a project which had a quantitive public benefit. One example might be a residential project which was 100% affordable to families of low and moderate income for the life of the project. This would go a long way toward meeting the City' s housing goals for producing a diversity of housing types . It is also a trade off of one public benefit for another public benefit. A second alternative the Planning Commission may wish to consider would allow for the change in the general plan land use designation to a Medium Density Residential for a part of the site that is currently housing temporary classroom facilities . This could address four areas of concern raised by the staff : A) It would allow the school district to maintain a majority of the property for public recreational use. B) A lower density would reduce the impact to the adjacent single family. C) Provide some additional affordable housing units to the community. D) Developing that portion of the site which already houses classrooms would maintain the view corridor that exists on the southeast corner of Goldenwest and Warner. Staff Report - 12/3/91 -10- (1538d) • • i 11. 0 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions : A. Adopt and certify as adequate Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3 by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1457 and forward it to the City Council for their adoption and certification; B. Deny General Plan Amendment No. 90-8 by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1458 and forward it to the City Council with a recommendation of denial; and C. Deny Zone Change No. 90-17 with findings . FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - ZONE CHANGE NO, 90-17: 1. The Planning Commission finds that Zone Change No. 90-17 is inconsistent with the goals and policies of the Land Use, Open Space/Conservation and Recreation Element of the General Plan, and thus limits the area ' s ability to meet future demands for school expansion and recreational open space. 2. The Planning Commission finds that a change in zoning from Residential Agriculture to Medium-High Density Residential and General Commercial will prohibit future expansion of the recreational facilities, eliminate recreational open space and eliminate an existing view corridor due to the future development of residential and commercial buildings . The proposed zone change will also limit the future expansion of the existing school facility or construction of a new school . 3 . The Planning Commission finds that the land use designation and zoning of Medium-High Density Residential is too intense for the project site and is not compatible with the low density residential located to the south. 4 . The Planning Commission finds that the land use designation and zoning of Medium-High Density Residential and General Commercial will increase traffic during peak traffic hours in the project vicinity which would adversely affect the general welfare of the surrounding community. 5 . The Planning Commission finds that the land use designation and zoning of Medium-High Density Residential will negatively impact existing sewer capacities in the project vicinity until such time that the Slater Pump Station is expanded. 12 . 0 ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The Planning Commission may take one of the following alternative actions : Staff Report - 12/3/91 -11- (1538d) i Alternative Action 1: A. Recommend that the City Council adopt and certify as adequate EIR No. 90-3 by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1457; B. Recommend to the City Council approval of GPA No. 90-8 for Medium Density Residential (15 units per gross acre) on 7 acres; and C. Recommend to the City Council approval of Zone Change No. 90-17 for Medium Density Residential (R2) zoning with findings. Alternative Action 2 (Applicant' s Request) : A. Recommend that the City Council adopt and certify as adequate EIR No. 90-3 by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1457; B. Recommend to the City Council approval of General Plan Amendment No. 90-8 for Medium-High Density Residential (25 units per gross acre) on 13 .26 acres and General Commercial on 5 . 08 acres by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. 1459 with Statement of Overriding Considerations; and C. Recommend to the City Council approval of Zone Change No. 90-17 with findings. ATTACHMENTS: 1 . Vicinity Map 2. Existing General Plan Land Use Map 3 . Proposed General Plan Land Use Map 4 .

The following individual project effects were found to be less than significant after analysis in the Final Environmental Impact Report No. 90-3 . Earth, Drainage, Plant and Animal Life, Noise, Light and Glare, Energy, Public Services, Solid Waste, Recreation and Air Quality. 2 . With regard to cumulatibe effects on air quality, changes have been required in, or incorporated into the project which avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR. These changes include: (1) City' s compliance with growth objectives and policies of regional air quality plans; (2) Development and implementation of City Transportation Depand Management (TDM) program to reduce vehicular trips for private projects; (3) Compliance of individual projects with the South Coast Air Quality Management District ' s Rule XV, Mandatory Ride Sharing Program and (4) locating banking, postal and eating facilities within large commercial and residential developments to reduce number and length of vehicular trips . Other changes are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the Environmental Protection Agency. These changes include a variety of programs and policies to reduce the cumulative effects of growth in the region on air quality, and have been adopted by these agencies and include: (1) steadily improving vehicle emissions requirements; (2) emissions controls on stationary air pollution sources; and (3) development of alternate fuels and transportation technologies . 3 . With regard to project short-term construction noise, the significant environmental impact will not be mitigated to a less than significant level . Even with implementation of mitigation measures listed below, noise generated by construction equipment will frequently exceed 65 decibels, affecting single-family homes to the south, apartments to the north and, possibly, Ocean View High School to the east of the site. Construction equipment may generate noise levels ranging from 70 to 105 decibels . The changes incorporated into the project to reduce impacts to the extent feasible include: (1) limiting construction to Monday through Saturday, from 7: 00 a.m. to 8 : 00 p.m. and prohibiting construction on federal holidays . The City of Huntington Beach has determined that this negative impact is acceptable due to overriding concerns detailed in the Statement of Overiding Considerations. 4 . With regard to cumulative effects on utilities, changes have been required in, or incorporated into the project which avoid, or substantially lessen significant environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR. These changes include: (1) compliance with regional wastewater and solid waste management programs and policies, including the Integrated Waste Management Act; (2) participation in a Citywide recycling program, and (3) implementation of water conservation programs; and measures which also reduce generation of wastewater. 5 . With regard to cumulative effects on public services, changes have been required in, or incorporated into the project which avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR. These changes include: (1) systematic reviews by the City and adjustment of development fees to support new development, and (2) creation of assessment districts as appropriate. 6 . With regard to effects of dust generated during the project construction, changes have been required in, or incorporated into the project which avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR. These changes include: (1) implementation of dust control measures during construction, including regular watering. 7 . With regard to project effects on drainage, changes have been required in, or incorporated into the project which avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR. These changes include: (1) preparation of a hydrology study and incorporation of all mitigation measures identified by the study to ensure that flood proofing or elevation of the site will comply with federal flood program requirements, and that all necessary improvements to the existing drainage system are implemented. 8 . With regard to daily project noise, changes have been required in, or incorporated into the project which avoid, or substantially lessen significant environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR. These changes include: (1) preparation of acoustical report and implementation of measures identified in the report reducing interior noise in the project residences to 45 CNEL, through construction of a solid wall around the project residences and/or insulation of affected units, or other measures . 9 . With regard to project effects on land use, changes have been required in, or incorporated into the project which avoid, or substantially lessen significant environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR. These changes include: (1) determination that the project site is a "surplus" site based on studies conducted by the Huntington Beach High School District; (2) relocating all Wintersburg School ' s programs to other locations within the district; (3) retention of all athletic fields in reconfigured smaller area; (4) development of the site in conformance with zoning requirements; (5) provision of a landscaped buffer along south side of residential portion to provide a visual barrier from the adjacent single family homes; (6) prohibition of second-story south-facing balconies within 50 feet of south boundary of the site; (7) City review of development design, and (8) construction of walls along zone boundaries . 10 . With regard to project effects on traffic, changes have been required in, or incorporated into the project which avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR. These changes include: (1) addition of north and southbound lanes at Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue intersection provided by the Superstreet project, and (2) The project will be required to pay the standard traffic impact fee which is customarily charged to all new developments in the City of Huntington Beach. 11. With regard to the project ' s individual and City' s cumulative effect on water resources, changes have been required in, or incorporated into the project which avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR including: (1) ultra-low flow toilets; (2) water-conserving landscaping; (3) development and implementation of a water conservation plan; and (4) the project will be required to pay the standard water fee which is customarily charged to all new developments in the City of Huntington Beach. 12 . With regard to project effects on wastewater, changes have been required in, or incorporated into the project which avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR. These changes include: (1) payment of impact fee; (2) implementation of water conserving measures to reduce generation of wastewater; and (3) no issuance of building permits for new development until the Slater Pump Station is upgraded and has adequate capacity to service that development. 13 . With regard to project effects on recreation, changes have been required in, or incorporated into the project which avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects as identified in the Final EIR. These changes include: (1) relocation of all athletic fields to a smaller area closer to the Ocean View High School . 14 . Pursuant to Section 711.4(c) of the Fish and Game Code, the City has found no evidence that the proposed project will have an adverse effect on wildlife resources, as identified in the Final EIR. The project is therefore exempt from the fees otherwise payable under Section 711.4 . (1542d) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 90-3 STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS The Final Environmental Impact Report No . 90-3 for the proposed General Plan Amendment redesignating 11. 93 acres from Public, Quasi-Public, Institutional to Medium-High Density Residential identifies certain unavoidable significant adverse environmental effects . CEQA Guidelines Section 15093 requires the decision-maker to balance the benefits of a proposed project against unavoidable environmental risks in determining whether the project should be approved. If the decision-maker concludes that the benefits of the project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the effects may be considered acceptable. In making this determination, the following factors and public benefits were considered: 1 . The project provides needed housing for residents of Huntington Beach. The project will provide up to 295 multi-family housing units, or nearly 5 percent of the 6, 228 housing units identified as the City' s share of regional housing needs for the 1989-1994 period by the SCAG' s Regional Housing Needs Assessment . The final environmental impact report identifies four (4) unavoidable adverse environmental impacts (see Section S-6 in the environmental impact report -Unavoidable Significant Adverse Impacts) three of which will be reduced to levels of insignificance with the modified proposal . These are: a . Cumulative adverse impacts on air quality in the region that does not meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for carbon monoxide, ozone and particular matter . b. Air pollutants exceeding the South Coast Air Quality Management Districts threshold criteria for carbon monoxide, reactive organic gases and oxides of nitrogen. c. Cumulative water impacts on the project . The impact that would remain significant would be the short-term construction noise affecting surrounding residences and school facilities . Some of the effects are lessened by the Standard City Policies and Requirements, and mitigation measures suggested in the environmental impact report. These measures will be required and incorporated into the project . The reasons the City has determined that the remaining effects of each impact are acceptable, given offsetting project benefits, are discussed below: 1 . NOISE IMPACTS Noise affecting residences will be generated by construction vehicles and machines during development, customers and delivery vehicles to the commercial site, and daily traffic. Mitigation measures identified in EIR No. 90-3 include restricting construction to Monday-Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 8 : 00 p.m. excluding Sundays and Holidays and complying with State Acoustical Standards . Project alternatives, including No Project Alternative, and development at an alternate location would eliminate any additional noise from the existing development while development at a lesser intensity or with single family patio homes would proportionately reduce the amount of noise impacts on the residents . In contrast, Development of Commercial uses would increase the amount of noise on the existing development. Although some project alternatives would reduce or eliminate noise impacts, they would not as effectively implement important goals of the General Plan. These include providing a variety of housing types, increasing the City' s tax base, and locating residential uses in proximity to commercial centers . Given the many public benefits of the project as referenced above, the City finds that the noise impacts associated with the project are acceptable.
