Re: Huntington Beach LCP Major Amendment No. 2-06 ("Timeshares")
Dear Mr. Hess:
In a letter dated April 24, 2007 we notified you that the California Coastal Commission, at
its April 11, 2007 meeting in Santa Barbara, adopted revised findings reflecting the
Commission's action of October 12, 2006 approving City of Huntington Beach Local
Coastal Program Amendment No. 2-06 with modifications. Local Coastal Program (LCP)
Amendment No. 2-06 is reflected in City Council Resolution No. 2005-20. The approved
amendment, as modified,would allow limited ownership overnight visitor accommodations
within limited areas of the Visitor Serving Commercial land use designation and zoning,
under specific circumstances.
The Commission approved the LCP amendment subject to suggested modifications. The
April 24, 2007 letter indicated that the suggested modifications as approved by the Coastal
Commission were attached. However, the suggested modifications that were attached to
that letter did not include changes adopted by the Commission via a March 30, 2007
addendum to the Commission's staff report. Please find attached to this letter the
suggested modifications as they were adopted by the Coastal Commission at its April 11,
2007 meeting in Santa Barbara. The April 24, 2007 letter is enclosed for your reference.
Thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to working with you and your staff in
the future. Please call Meg Vaughn or myself at (562) 590-5071 if you have any questions
regarding the modifications required for effective certification of City of Huntington Beach
LCP Amendment No. 2-06.

Analysis:
A. PROJECT PROPOSAL:
Applicant: Shawn Milbern, The Robert Mayer Corporation, 660 (Newport Center Drive,
Suite 1050, Newport Beach, CA 92660.
Location: Downtown Specific Plan, District Nos. 7 and 9 (North side of Pacific Coast
Highway between First Street and Beach Blvd.)
Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 2-06 is being brought to the City Council for
acceptance of the California Coastal Commission's suggested modifications to the Local
Coastal Program as they pertain to the allowance of timeshares, condominium hotels and
fractional interest units within the Coastal Zone, and specifically within the Waterfront and
Pacific City master planned areas. All of the modifications are presented in the approval
letter from the Coastal Commission (Attachment No. 4).
The process for approving the modifications involves two resolutions and an ordinance in
order to: 1) accept and agree to the California Coastal Commission's suggested
modifications, and 2) to approve and incorporate the Coastal Commission's modifications
into our Local Coastal Program (Coastal Element and Implementing Ordinances).
Upon transmittal of Attachments No. 1 through 3 to the Coastal Commission, the Executive
Director of the Commission will determine if the City has complied with the Commission's
action. The LCPA for the Coastal Element is not effectively certified until such determination
is made.
B. BACKGROUND:
The City Council approved General Plan Amendment No. 03-03, Local Coastal Program
Amendment No. 03-02 and Zoning Text Amendment No. 03-03 on March 21, 2005. These
-2- 7/2/2007 4:40 PM

MEETING DATE: 7/16/2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL07-15
were applications submitted by The Robert Mayer Corporation, with concurrence by Makar
Properties, to allow for timeshare" type uses on their respective properties.
The LCPA submittal was forwarded to the California Coastal Commission as Local Coastal
Program Amendment 2-06 for review and approval in May 2005. On October 12, 2006 the
California Coastal Commission approved Local Coastal Program No. 2-06 with suggested
modifications. On April 11, 2007 the Coastal Commission adopted revised findings reflecting
the Commission's October action (Attachment No. 4).
Section 13537 of the California Code of Regulations states that the local government must
accept and agree to the modifications by resolution within six months of Commission action
or the Coastal Commission's approval expires. Recognizing that the six month period, which
ended April 10, 2007, would elapse before Coastal Commission staff would even bring the
revised findings to the Commission for approval, on March 15, 2007 the Coastal Commission
extended the City Council's six month time limit to accept the suggested modifications for a
period of one year to April 10, 2008.
C. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION
The purpose of the suggested modifications is to maximize public access to coastal
resources but still allow private ownership of visitor accommodations. In this regard, the
Coastal Commission approved a significant number of modifications that address how the
ownership properties (condominium hotel at Waterfront and fractional interest units at Pacific
City) must be operated as well as limited the number of total and consecutive days the
owners could stay in their units. The modifications also include additional definitions for
consistency as well as changes that affect all lodging properties in the Coastal Zone. The
more substantive modifications include:
• Added language stating that no existing hotel rooms may be converted to a limited use
overnight visitor accommodation (LUOVA) (this is the new category used by the
Commission to refer to timeshare, condominium hotel, fractional hotel or other similar
use).
• Limits LUOVAs in the Commercial Visitor Districts to only the Pacific City and
Waterfront properties.
• Allows Pacific City hotel to have 10 percent of its rooms as fractional interest and
limits an owner's duration of stay to 90 days per year, with a maximum of 29
consecutive days.
• Allows Waterfront to have a 100 percent condominium hotel (cannot convert either of
the existing hotels) and limits an owner's duration of stay to 90 days per year, with a
maximum of 29 consecutive days.
• Requires both Pacific City and Waterfront LUOVA hotels to make rooms not occupied
by their individual owners available to the general public.
• Requires both Pacific City and Waterfront developers to pay $3,000/per LUOVA room
to assist in the creation of lower cost overnight visitor accommodations in or near
Huntington Beach.
-3- 7/2/2007 4:40 PM
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 7/16/2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL07-15
City staff and the developers of the Pacific City and Waterfront projects have evaluated the
suggested modifications approved by the Coastal Commission and are in agreement with
them. Staff recommends the City Council approve the suggested modifications from the
Coastal Commission because the modifications will meet the intent of the goals and policies
of the General Plan and the Certified Local Coastal Program.
Strategic Plan Goal:
L-4 Create an environment that promotes tourism to increase revenues to support
community services and transform the city's economy into a destination economy.
The inclusion of ownership units within Districts 7 & 9 of the Downtown Specific Plan will
increase the opportunity for more revenue to the City due to the extended duration of stays.
Studies have shown that because these types of pre-paid hotel stays, vacationers tend to
spend more on dining, services and entertainment at the vacation destinations.
Environmental Status:
The Environmental Assessment Committee reviewed Environmental Assessment No. 03-03
for conformity with the California Environment Quality Act and concluded that all potentially
significant effects related to the proposal to allow timeshare type uses were analyzed and
adequately addressed in EIR No. 94-1, prepared for the comprehensive update of the
General Plan. Therefore, no further review is required.

Re: Huntington Beach LCP Major Amendment No. 2-06 ("Timeshares")
Dear Mr. Hess:
In a letter dated April 24, 2007 we notified you that the California Coastal Commission, at
its April 11, 2007 meeting in Santa Barbara, adopted revised findings reflecting the
Commission's action of October 12, 2006 approving City of Huntington Beach Local
Coastal Program Amendment No. 2-06 with modifications. Local Coastal Program (LCP)
Amendment No. 2-06 is reflected in City Council Resolution No. 2005-20. The approved
amendment, as modified, would allow limited ownership overnight visitor accommodations
within limited areas of the Visitor Serving Commercial land use designation and zoning,
under specific circumstances.
The Commission approved the LCP amendment subject to suggested modifications. The
April 24, 2007 letter indicated that the suggested modifications as approved by the Coastal
Commission were attached. However, the suggested modifications that were attached to
that letter did not include changes adopted by the Commission via a March 30, 2007
addendum to the Commission's staff report. Please find attached to this letter the
suggested modifications as they were adopted by the Coastal Commission at its April 11,
2007 meeting in Santa Barbara. The April 24, 2007 letter is enclosed for your reference.
Thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to working with you and your staff in
the future. Please call Meg Vaughn or myself at (562) 590-5071 if you have any questions
regarding the modifications required for effective certification of City of Huntington Beach
LCP Amendment No. 2-06.
