service and dedication.
2. Police Chief Robert Handy and retired Police Chief and Consultant Bob Lehner provided a
Crime Rate Presentation
City Manager Wilson and Police Chief Handy introduced Bob Lehner, former police chief and
independent expert on crime rates and reporting, Julie Romano, Huntington Beach Police Department
Crime Analyst, and Captain Brian Seitz. Chief Handy briefly discussed the process to compile the
information and produce the statistics.
Bob Lehner presented a PowerPoint communication entitled Crime Statistics Report with slides entitled:
Report in Two Parts, Comparing Crime across Jurisdictions, Basic Findings/Conclusions, Violent Crime
Rate, Property Crime Rate, Violent Crime, Property Crime, Strategic Implications, 2017 Part I Crimes,
What is UCR?, Part I Crimes, Part I Comparison Last Year/This Year, Sexual Assaults/Rape, Robberies,
Aggravated Assaults, 2017 Traffic Accident Information, and Summary.
Councilmember O'Connell and Mr. Lehner discussed how the crime numbers were calculated and
categorized and the methodology used for this presentation.
Councilmember Brenden and Mr. Lehner discussed the effect of the passage of AB109 and Prop 47,
which in Mr. Lehner's opinion, increases crime rates.

low) for crime reporting. Councilmember Semeta and Mr. Lehner discussed that a "trend" of increased
crime cannot be determined by looking at just one year.

low to begin with, a small increase of two or three incidents can appear to be a twenty-percent (20%)
increase. Mayor Pro Tem Peterson requested, and Chief Handy agreed, that this type of report should be
presented to the City Council at least annually.

Department is addressing the challenges that exist.
Mayor Posey requested future information on whether specific crimes reported year-to-year are by
repeat offenders.

Statement of Issue: In November 2017, the City commissioned Management Partners, a
professional consulting firm, to conduct a study of the issues and challenges facing the Huntington
Beach Police Department at the request of the Huntington Beach Police Officers Association. A
lengthy and detailed study was done. The study included dozens of one-on-one interviews, three
focus groups of sworn and non-sworn staff, a confidential online survey in which 219 employees
participated, and a review of five-years of FBI statistics, as well as other pertinent data and
documents. On February 9, 2018, Management Partners issued its report entitled “City of
Huntington Beach Police Department Assessment Issues Study.” The report contains 16
recommendations to address issues identified in the study.
An update to the Police Chief’s contract for a five-year term is requested in order to help ensure the
development of a five-year Strategic Plan for the department, ensure consistency in the
implementation of the report’s recommendations, provide continuity of leadership, promote staff
development and training throughout the Department, and develop a shared vision as
recommended in the report.
Financial Impact:
The position of Police Chief is budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2017/18 Adopted Budget. No additional
funding is requested or required. Funding for all department head positions, including the Chief of
Police, in future years will be contained in out-year budgets.
Recommended Action:
Approve the updated “Employment Agreement Between the City of Huntington Beach and Robert

Dept. ID AD-18-004 Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date: 2/20/2018
Effective December 7, 2013, the City Council approved the appointment of Robert Handy to the
position of Police Chief for the City of Huntington Beach. After four years of service to the City, the
Police Department enjoys strong community support from both residents and the business
community. During Chief Handy’s tenure, Huntington Beach has maintained a low crime rate as
compared to other cities its size in Orange County, the state of California, and the nation at large.
The Department is facing some challenges including reduced police officer staffing and aged police
facilities that the reliable leadership of Chief Handy will assist in remediating. In order to ensure the
successful implementation of the 16 recommendations contained in the Management Partners
report entitled “Huntington Beach Police Department Issues Assessment Study,” it is recommended
that the City Council approve an updated Employment Agreement between the City of Huntington
Beach and Police Chief Robert Handy for a five-year term. This action will help ensure the
development of a five-year Strategic Plan for the department, consistency in the implementation of
the report’s recommendations during that time period, continuity of leadership at the highest level
within the organization, staff development and training throughout the Department, and a shared
vision as recommended in the report.
In addition to the new five-year term, the updated Employment Agreement increases the severance
pay provision from three months to nine months.
Environmental Status: Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain public safety.

2.5.6 of the DTSP.
B. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
A public hearing before the Planning Commission was held on January 23, 2018. At the Planning
Commission meeting, nearby property owners were present and three people spoke in support of
the project supporting staff’s recommendation for approval of the project. Additionally, staff also
received several letters regarding the project (Attachment No. 6). Seven people spoke against the
project citing concerns with density, access from the alley, and future alcohol uses at the site.
The Planning Commission discussed the proposed request, including the request for in-lieu parking
fees for the commercial component of the project. There was also discussion related to the density of
the site, traffic and safety concerns, and privacy concerns. In order to alleviate some of the issues,
the Planning Commission added a condition to address privacy concerns for the adjacent residences.
The Planning Commission concluded that development of the project is consistent with the General
Plan, HBZSO, and the DTSP.

MOTION PASSED
C. APPEAL:
On January 29, 2018, the Planning Commission’s approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 18086,
Conditional Use Permit No. 17-008, Coastal Development Permit No. 17-003, and Special Permit
No. 17-001 was appealed by Mayor Pro Tem Erik Peterson (Attachment No. 3). The appeal was
filed for the following reason:
1. The Planning Commission’s action allowed the payment of in-lieu parking fees rather than
provide the required parking for the project.
D. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION:
General Plan Compliance
The proposed project is consistent with the land use designation which allows for mixed-use at the
subject site. The proposed architectural style and site layout of the mixed-use project is consistent
with the proportion, scale, and character of the existing development in the area, which also
includes similar mixed-use projects. The development will improve an underutilized site and the
condominium units will provide an opportunity for ownership. The design of the project as approved
by the Design Review Board promotes the development of a commercial building that conveys a
high-quality visual image and character that is intended to expand the existing development pattern
of Downtown Huntington Beach. The project’s open space incorporates enhanced hardscape and
landscape materials consistent with the DTSP Design Guidelines.
The project consists of 20 condominium units, which adds to the City’s housing stock. The
development request as proposed is consistent with the intent of the policies within the Housing
Element because it will add to the City’s housing stock and create new opportunities for purchase in
the Downtown area. The project is required to pay affordable housing in-lieu fees which will go
towards the provision of housing for lower to moderate income households. As such, the project will
contribute to the City’s overall housing goals.
The proposed project will provide a wide array and diversity of commercial uses and cater to the
needs of local residents and residents in the surrounding region. The proposed project would
incorporate visitor-serving commercial uses on the ground floor and residential uses on the upper
floor. The mix of uses complements the urban downtown environment by integrating commercial
services for the subject and nearby residential uses. The project site is located near established
points of attraction, including the Huntington Beach Municipal Pier, and is intended to reinforce the
vicinity as a major visitor-serving district. Additionally, it will facilitate employment opportunities and
will not impact the subject site and surrounding area.
Zoning Conformance:
This project is located in District No. 1, Downtown Core Mixed-Use of the Downtown Specific Plan
(DTSP), which establishes the area as the downtown for the City by creating a more urban
atmosphere, encouraging relatively higher intensity development, and promotes visitor-serving
mixed-use commercial, office, and residential developments. The project complies with the
requirements of the DTSP zoning district, with exception of the upper story setback on the third
floor. The request to participate in the parking in-lieu fee program for a portion of the required
commercial parking (nine spaces) is subject to approval of a CUP. All of the required residential
parking is provided on site in a subterranean parking structure and guest parking is provided at the
rear of the site.
HB -146-Item 7. - 3
Dept. ID CD 18-003 Page 4 of 6
Meeting Date: 2/20/2018
Upper Story Setback
The DTSP requires a 10 ft. average setback from the ground floor façade for all stories above the
second floor to reduce the bulk and mass of buildings with third and fourth stories. The applicant is
requesting a Special Permit to deviate from the 10 ft. average setback from the ground floor
building façade for the third floor. Currently, the project is proposing the third floor with an average
setback of approximately 2.52 ft. from the ground floor building façade. The fourth floor meets the
upper story setbacks due to a large open air deck on the fourth floor. When roof eaves, overhangs,
covered balconies, or awnings project more than 30 in. from the building wall, the building façade is
measured from the front of that projection and no longer from the actual building/unit facade. The
proposed third floor deviates significantly from this development standard due to the fact that the
entire fourth floor aligns with the third floor, resulting with the façade being measured from the front
of these roof overhangs. If the third floor building façade was measured from the unit/building, the
deviation would be less significant at 6.10 ft. The Special Permit results in a greater benefit from
the project and will promote a better living environment because it allows for a larger common open
space in the form of a deck on the fourth floor that is partially open to the sky. Additionally, due to
the bend on Main Street and the fact that the south west portion of the building is setback, the
project provides a larger than required public open space that is open to the sky. This also allows
residents to maximize their views on their decks. In order to comply with the upper story
requirement along the third floor, the ground floor building façade would lose many of its unique
architectural features along the front of the building in order to come closer to the street, thereby,
creating a flatter design with no articulation. Additionally, it would reduce both the common and
public open space. The special permit would allow for a mixed-use project with unique and quality
architecture that includes a more contemporary architectural theme consisting of flat roofs, tower
elements, large window glazing systems, and metal awnings. In addition, building volumes are
articulated with variation in wall planes to reduce building massing and provide a larger public open
space. Similar mixed-use projects have been approved near the subject site (Townsquare and
Plaza Almeria); therefore, the request would also be consistent with objectives of the Downtown
Specific Plan in achieving a development adapted to the terrain and compatible with the
surrounding environment.
Appeal Issues and Parking In-Lieu Fees
The letter of appeal expressed concern that the Planning Commission’s approval allowed payment
of parking in-lieu fees rather than providing all the required parking on site. The Parking In-Lieu
Fee program was established in 1993 per City Council Resolution 6522 for certain properties within
the Downtown Parking Master Plan area based on a shared parking concept. The objective of the
program is to facilitate traffic and pedestrian movement in the Downtown core, and provide future
opportunities for additional parking. The parking in-lieu fee funds create programs such as valet,
re-striping, shuttle trolley, and other similar programs resulting in the provision of additional parking
or construction of surface or structured parking and associated design costs in District 1 of the
DTSP.
The Parking In-lieu Fee Program was established as a shared parking concept based on the
principle that a parking facility is shared among multiple uses and destinations such that one
parking space would serve two or more businesses that are within close proximity of one another.
Shared parking effectively reduces the number of parking spaces that would otherwise be required
by a specific stand-alone use since one parking space is utilized by multiple uses with different
peak demand hours or by multiple businesses with the same patrons.
A property owner proposing to pay in-lieu fees as an alternative to providing the minimum number
of required parking spaces on-site would be contributing money toward the provision of parking that
is available to the general public for all uses within proximity of the parking facility, not necessarily
for the exclusive use of his/her development. Additionally, the parking in-lieu fee program and fees
HB -147-Item 7. - 4
Dept. ID CD 18-003 Page 5 of 6
Meeting Date: 2/20/2018
were established to allow for the development of parking spaces or implementation of other
programs to accommodate the parking demand as development occurs while not being so high as
to discourage development in the downtown. To date, the fees collected via the program have
been used for:
• 41 metered parking spaces at 1st St. and Atlanta Ave. parking lot (under construction)
• Shuttle Services for the 4th of July and US Open
• 25 parking spaces at 5th and PCH (formerly known as The Strand)
• Trial period of Bike Valet Downtown project
The proposed development requires a total of 60 parking spaces. A total of 51 parking spaces will
be provided on-site:

Residential (20) 1-2
bedroom units
1-2 bedroom unit =

Commercial (retail) 5,000 sq. ft. 3 spaces/1,000 sq. ft. 15 spaces 6 parking spaces
(ground floor)
TOTAL:
60 spaces 51 spaces
The applicant is requesting to satisfy the remaining nine parking space requirement via payment of
parking in-lieu fees as defined in the DTSP. Although it does not fulfill the project’s on-site parking
requirement, the applicant is also replacing two parallel on-street parking spaces fronting the site,
along Main Street, and restriping them with nine angled on-street parking spaces, resulting in a
surplus of seven on-street parking spaces. The restriping of the on-street parking directly in front
the development will provide additional parking for commercial patrons.
E. SUMMARY
Staff recommends approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 18086, Conditional Use Permit No. 17-008,
Coastal Development Permit No. 17-003, and Special Permit No. 17-001 based upon the following:
- Consistent with the site’s General Plan land use and zoning designations;
- Complies with the Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP), except for the Special Permit Request;
- Provides for the creation of new housing units in the City;
- Compatible with surrounding uses and the urban environment of the Downtown;
- Allows for a mixed-use project with unique and quality architecture;
- Provides significant setbacks and offsets along the rear and the south side yard setback;
- Variation in wall plane reduces building massing and provides a larger public and common
open space;
- Meets the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act; and
- The project will not impede public access or conflict with any public recreation policies.

SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA:
The Planning Commission determines that the proposed project is covered by Downtown
Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report No. 08-1, which was adopted by the City of
Huntington Beach on January 19, 2010. The request to consolidate six parcels into an
approximately 0.42 net acre lot for condominium purposes and development of a four-story
mixed-use project consisting of 5,000 sq. ft. of retail, 20 residential units (condos), one-level
subterranean parking structure; request to participate in the parking in-lieu fee program for nine
commercial parking spaces; and request to permit a 2.52 ft. average setback on the third floor
in lieu of a minimum average setback of 10 ft. is subject to compliance with the adopted
mitigation measures contained in the Final Environmental Impact Report No. 08-1. The project
is exempt under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15182 of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that when an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) has been prepared for a specific plan, there is no need to prepare an EIR or
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for projects in conformity with that specific plan. The
project is consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan. Furthermore, implementation of the
project would not result in any new or more severe potentially adverse environmental impacts
that were not considered in the previously certified Program EIR for the Downtown Specific
Plan project (EIR No. 08-01) and the project is conditioned to comply with all applicable EIR No.
08-1 mitigation measures. In light of the whole record, none of the circumstances described
under Section 15162 of CEQA Guidelines are present; and therefore, no EIR or MND is
required.
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 18068:
1. Tentative Tract Map No. 18068 to consolidate six parcels into an approximately 0.42 net
acre lot for condominium purposes is consistent with the requirements of the Downtown
Specific Plan. The proposed subdivision is also consistent with the General Plan Land Use
Element designation of Mixed-Use – Specific Plan Overlay - 30-50 dwelling units per acre,
as proposed on the subject property, or other applicable provisions of this code.
2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. The size, depth,
frontage, street width and other design features of the proposed subdivision are in
compliance with the code. The project site is able to accommodate the type of development
proposed. The proposed subdivision will result in a density of 47 units per acre, which is
below the allowable density of 50 units per acre of the Mixed-Use – Specific Plan Overlay -
30-50 dwelling units per acre land use designation. The proposed density would be
compatible with surrounding mixed-use developments.
3. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements will not cause serious health
problems or substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
HB -150-Item 7. - 7
wildlife or their habitat. The project site is surrounded by residential and commercial
development as well as paved roads. It is geographically isolated from any natural open
space in the vicinity and the site does not contain significant biological resources.
4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements,
acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed
subdivision unless alternative easements, for access or for use, will be provided. The
subdivision will provide all necessary easements and will not affect any existing easements.
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 17-008:
1. Conditional Use Permit No. 17-008 for the development of a four-story mixed-use project
consisting of 5,000 sq. ft. of retail, 20 residential units (condos), one-level subterranean
parking structure; and request to participate in the parking in-lieu fee program for nine
commercial parking spaces, will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons
working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the propert y and
improvements in the neighborhood. The project will improve the existing underutilized parcel
of land with a development consistent with the General Plan land use and zoning
designations. The project is located in the downtown core area (District 1), which promotes
visitor-serving commercial developments. The project has been evaluated for compatibility
with the surrounding neighborhood and will be designed on a pedestrian scale and
character, will meet the goals and policies of the General Plan. Additionally, the proposed
mixed-use is similar to those existing uses in the vicinity. The project will not result in any
adverse or significant environmental impacts including traffic, noise, lighting, aesthetics, and
hazardous materials. Due to additional setbacks throughout the site, the project will be
consistent in massing and scale to adjacent commercial and residential uses, many of
which are up to three stories tall. Proposed improvements include enhanced landscaping,
decorative paving, and quality architectural design throughout the site. Furthermore, the
layout of the site improves the visual surroundings by taking vehicular access from the rear
public alley, hence minimizing the visibility of subterranean parking garage entrance and
ground level parking spaces from the street. The project complies with residential parking
requirements and partially complies with commercial parking requirements and is therefore
requesting to pay parking in-lieu fees for the nine commercial parking spaces that are
deficient, as allowed by the DTSP subject to approval by Conditional Use Permit. Although
it does not fulfill the project’s on-site parking requirement, the applicant is replacing two
parallel on-street parking spaces fronting the site, along Main Street , with nine angled on-
street parking spaces. The addition of the on-street parking directly in front the
development will provide additional parking for commercial visitors.
2. Conditional Use Permit No. 17-008 for the development of a four-story mixed-use project
consisting of 5,000 sq. ft. of retail, 20 residential units (condos), one-level subterranean
parking structure; and request to participate in the parking in-lieu fee program for nine
commercial parking spaces, will be compatible with surrounding uses in terms of setbacks,
private and public open space, building height, and landscaping. The subject site is entirely
surrounded by similar commercial and residential uses to the north, west, and south with
residential to the east. The proposed building will be compatible with existing development
at similar heights and massing and incorporate a more contemporary architectural theme in
the area that includes flat roofs, tower elements, large window glazing systems, and metal
awnings, providing visual interest and a quality design to the streetscape. Wall offsets on
the building facade and decorative features to reduce the massing of the building combined
HB -151-Item 7. - 8
with decorative paving at the site entry will create visual interest from the frontage along
Main Street. The project is designed to be compatible with the Downtown Design
Guidelines.
3. Conditional Use Permit No. 17-008 for the development of a four-story mixed-use project
consisting of 5,000 sq. ft. of retail, 20 residential units (condos), one-level subterranean
parking structure; and request to participate in the parking in-lieu fee program for nine
commercial parking spaces, complies with all provisions of the Downtown Specific Plan and
applicable provisions in Titles 20 through 25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and
Subdivision Ordinance. The project complies with the development standards in terms of
setbacks, private and public open space, building height, and landscaping. Adequate
vehicular and pedestrian circulation is provided for convenient access throughout the
project. The project complies with residential parking requirements and partially complies
with commercial parking requirements and is therefore requesting to pay parking in-lieu
fees for the nine commercial parking spaces that are def icient, as allowed by the DTSP
subject to approval by Conditional Use Permit. Although it does not fulfill the project’s on-
site parking requirement, the applicant is replacing two parallel on-street parking spaces
fronting the site, along Main Street, and with nine angled on-street parking spaces. The
addition of the on-street parking directly in front the development will provide additional
parking for commercial visitors.
4. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 17-008 for the development of a four-story
mixed-use project consisting of 5,000 sq. ft. of retail, 20 residential units (condos), one -level
subterranean parking structure; and request to participate in the parking in-lieu fee program
for nine commercial parking spaces, will not adversely af fect the General Plan. It is
consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designation on the subject property is M-sp
(30-50 du/ac) (Mixed-Use - Specific Plan Overlay – 30-50 dwelling units/acre) and the
zoning designation is SP5–CZ–District 1 (Downtown Specific Plan – Coastal Zone Overlay –
Downtown Core). The proposed project will implement both the General Plan and specific
plan designations of the site. The proposed project is consistent with the intent of these
designations, and the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan as follows:
A. Land Use Element
Goal LU-1: New commercial, industrial, and residential development is
coordinated to ensure that the land use pattern is consistent with
the overall goals and needs of the community.
Policies LU-1A: Ensure that development is consistent with the land use
designations presented in the Land Use Map, including density,
intensity, and use standards applicable to each land use
designation.
Policies LU-1D: Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion,
scale, and character to complement adjoining uses.
Goal LU-7: Neighborhoods, corridors, and community subareas are well
designed, and buildings, enhanced streets, and public spaces
contribute to a strong sense of place.
HB -152-Item 7. - 9
Policies LU-7A Preserve unique neighborhoods, corridors, and subareas, and
continue to use specific plans to distinguish districts and
neighborhoods by character and appearance.
Policies LU-7B Use street trees, signage, landscaping, street furniture, public art,
and other aesthetic elements to enhance the appearance and
identity of subareas, neighborhoods, corridors, nodes, and public
spaces.
Goal LU-11: Commercial land uses provide goods and services to meet
regional and local needs.
Policies LU-11A: Encourage a variety of commercial uses that cater to local and
regional demand to create an environment that meets resident
needs and increases the capture of sales tax revenues.
The proposed project is consistent with the land use designation which allows for mixed-use
at the subject site. The proposed architectural style and site layout of the mixed-use project
is consistent with the proportion, scale, and character of the existing development in the
area, which also includes similar mixed-use projects. The development will improve an
underutilized site and the condominium units will provide an opportunity for ownership.
The proposed project will provide a wide arrange and diversity of commercial uses and
cater to the needs of local residents and residents in the surrounding region. The project
will provide additional commercial uses that will encourage tourism to the site and the
surrounding area. The project will facilitate employment opportunities and will not impact
the subject site and surrounding area. The design of the project as approved by the Design
Review Board promotes the development of a commercial building that conveys a high-
quality visual image and character that is intended to expand the existing development
pattern of Downtown Huntington Beach. The project’s open space incorporates enhanced
hardscape and landscape materials consistent with the DTSP Design Guidelines.
B. Housing Element
Policy 3.1: Encourage the production of housing that meets all economic
segments of the community, including lower, moderate, and upper
income households, to maintain a balanced community.
Policy 6.1: Implement the City’s Green Building Program to ensure new
development is energy and water efficient.
The project consists of 20 condominium units, which adds to the City’s housing stock. The
development request as proposed is consistent with the intent of the policies within the Housing
Element because it will add to the City’s housing stock and create new opportunities for
purchase in the Downtown area. The project is required to pay affordable housing in-lieu fees
which will go towards the provision of housing for lower to moderate income households. As
such, the project will contribute to the City’s overall housing goals. Furthermore, green building
practices for the construction are proposed such as construction waste diverted from landfill,
drought tolerant planting, and high-efficiency irrigation system. The units will also include
energy efficient windows, energy efficient roof, and high efficacy lighting.
HB -153-Item 7. - 10
A. Coastal Element
Policy C 1.1.4: Where feasible, locate visitor-serving commercial uses in existing
developed areas or at selected points of attraction for visitors.
Goal C 3: Provide a variety of recreational and visitor commercial serving
uses for a range of cost and market preferences.
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.
The proposed project would incorporate visitor-serving commercial uses on the ground floor
and residential uses on the upper floor. The mix of uses complements the urban downtown
environment by integrating commercial services for the subject and nearby residential uses.
The project site is located near established points of attraction, including the Huntington Beach
Municipal Pier, and is intended to reinforce the vicinity as a major visitor-serving district.
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL – COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 17-
003:
1. Coastal Development Permit No. 17-003 for the development of a four-story mixed-use
project consisting of 5,000 sq. ft. of retail, 20 residential units (condos), and one-level
subterranean parking structure conforms to the General Plan, including the Local Coastal
Program. The proposed project would continue to provide commercial and residential uses
in an established, urban, downtown core area and will serve surrounding uses in the vicinity.
Public services are currently available to the project site, as well as the surrounding parcels,
and the project includes improvements to existing infrastructure to ensure adequate service
after project implementation. The proposed project would develop visitor-serving
commercial uses in the City’s downtown core area near other established points of
attraction, including the Huntington Beach Municipal Pier; and is intended to reinforce the
vicinity as a major visitor-serving district.
2. The project is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the base zoning
district, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. The proposed project,
the development of a four-story mixed-use project consisting of 5,000 sq. ft. of retail, 20
residential units (condos), and one-level subterranean parking structure, as conditioned,
complies with applicable development regulations, including setbacks, private and public
open space, building height, and landscaping. It is also consistent with the design
guidelines, and is compatible with the scale and transition of surrounding development.
3. At the time of occupancy, the proposed development of a four-story mixed-use project
consisting of 5,000 sq. ft. of retail, 20 residential units (condos), and one-level subterranean
parking structure can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the
Local Coastal Program. The proposed project will be constructed on a previously
developed site in an urbanized area with all necessary services and infrastructure available,
including water, sewer, and roadways. In addition, the project provides the necessary public
improvements such as dedications, curb, gutters, and sidewalks.
HB -154-Item 7. - 11
4. The development of a four-story mixed-use project consisting of 5,000 sq. ft. of retail, 20
residential units (condos), and one-level subterranean parking structure conforms with the
public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. The
proposed project will not impede public access and does not conflict with any public
recreation policies by the provision of a development consistent with the City’s General
Plan, Coastal Element, and Downtown Specific Plan.
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL – SPECIAL PERMIT NO. 17-001:
1. The granting of Special Permit No. 17-001 (pursuant to Section 4.1.02 of the DTSP) in
conjunction with: Tentative Tract Map No. 18086 to subdivide an approximately 0.42 net
acre lot for condominium purposes and Conditional Use Permit No. 17-008/ Coastal
Development Permit No. 17-003 to permit the development of a four-story mixed-use
project consisting of 5,000 sq. ft. of retail, 20 residential units (condos), six on -site
commercial parking spaces, a one-level subterranean parking structure; and to participate
in the parking in-lieu fee program for nine commercial parking spaces, is for a 2.52 ft.
average setback on the third floor, along Main Street, in lieu of a minimum average setback
of 10 ft.
This Special Permit results in a greater benefit from the project and will promote a better
living environment because it allows for a larger common open space in the form of a deck
on the fourth floor that is partially open to the sky. Additionally, due to the bend on Main
Street and the fact that the south west portion of the building is setback, the proj ect
provides a larger than required public open space that is open to the sky. This also allows
residents to maximize their views on their decks.
2. The granting of Special Permit No. 17-001 to allow a 2.52 ft. average setback on the third
floor, along Main Street, in lieu of a minimum average setback of 10 ft. for a will provide
better land planning techniques with maximum use of aesthetically pleasing types of
architecture, landscaping, site layout and design due to the fact that the proposed building
is designed to contrast with the surrounding buildings by providing a more contemporary
architectural theme that includes flat roofs, tower elements, large window glazing systems,
and metal awnings. The building incorporates architectural and design principles to orient
the building to the pedestrian environment with primarily glass facade to provide the “human
scale” element that separates the first floor from second floor. Building volumes are
articulated with variation in wall plane to reduce building massing and provide a larger public
open space. The building facades incorporate a variety of building materials to provide
visual interest, including smooth stucco, wood siding, concrete veneer, and glass tiles that
enhance the paseo. Although the project is requesting a deviation for upper story setback
requirements along the third floor, it ` balancing the setback deficiency on the third floor
along the front.
3. The granting of Special Permit No. 17-001 to allow a 2.52 ft. average setback on the third
floor, along Main Street, in lieu of a minimum average setback of 10 ft. will not be
detrimental to the general health, welfare, safety, and convenience of the neighborhood or
City in general, nor detrimental or injurious to the value of property or improvem ents of the
neighborhood or of the City in general. Even though the project is requesting a deviation for
upper story setback requirements along the third floor, it provides significant setbacks and
offsets along the rear and the south side yard setback balancing the setback deficiency
along the front. The request will result in a project that has less building mass, more
HB -155-Item 7. - 12
building articulation, and increased common and public open space. The project will not
result in any adverse or significant environmental impacts including traffic, noise, lighting,
aesthetics, and hazardous materials
4. The granting of Special Permit No. 17-001 to allow a 2.52 ft. average setback on the third
floor, along Main Street, in lieu of a minimum average setback of 10 ft. will be consistent
with objectives of the Downtown Specific Plan in achieving a development adapted to the
terrain and compatible with the surrounding environment. The special permit would allow
for a mixed-use project with unique and quality architecture that includes a more
contemporary architectural theme consisting of flat roofs, tower elements, large window
glazing systems, and metal awnings. The building incorporates architectural and design
principles to orient the building to the pedestrian environment with primarily glass facade to
provide the “human scale” element that separates the first floor from second floor. Building
volumes are articulated with variation in wall plane to reduce building massing and provide a
larger public open space. The building facades incorporate a variety of building materials to
provide visual interest, including smooth stucco, wood siding, concrete veneer, and glass
tiles that enhance the paseo. In order to comply with the upper story requirement along the
third floor, the building would lose many of its unique architectural features along the front of
the building in order to come closer to the street, thereby, reducing the public and common
open space and resulting in a flatter design with no articulation.
5. The granting of Special Permit No. 17-001 to allow a 2.52 ft. average setback on the third
floor, along Main Street, in lieu of a minimum average setback of 10 ft. will be consistent
with the policies of the Coastal Element of the City’s General Plan and the California
Coastal Act as well as comply with State and Federal Law.

HB -198-Item 7. - 55
PC Staff Report 01/23/18 4 18sr02 – Main St. Mixed-Use
Special Permit No. 17-001 represents a request to permit a 2.52 ft. average setback on the third floor,
along Main Street, in lieu of a required minimum average setback of 10 ft. pursuant to Section 2.5.6 of the
DTSP.
The project is located within the downtown core area, which is comprised of mostly visitor-serving
commercial developments with ground floor retail and restaurant uses mixed with upper-story office,
commercial, and residential uses.
The applicant is proposing a tentative tract map for a one-lot subdivision for condominium purposes on an
approximately 0.42 acre site located in the Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP) to construct a mixed-use
development consisting of commercial uses and 20 for-sale condominium units along with associated
open space and infrastructure. The project site consists of six parcels that are currently vacant.
Surrounding and immediately adjacent uses to the site are single family and multi -family residential uses
to the east (across the alley) and commercial uses to the north, south, and west. The four-story mixed-use
building will consist of 5,000 sq. ft. of ground floor commercial space. The proposed 20 condominium
units will be located on the remaining floors.
Public open space is provided on the ground floor, adjacent to the commercial uses and common open
space for residents is provided with a 1,889 sq. ft. rooftop deck. Private open spaces for each unit consist
of balconies. The project is proposing one-level subterranean parking for the residential units and ground
level parking for guests and the commercial uses, both which are accessible by the public alley located at
the rear (east). The proposed development requires a total of 60 parking spaces. A total of 51 parking
spaces will be provided on-site and the developer is requesting to satisfy the remaining nine parking space
requirement via payment of parking in-lieu fees as defined in the DTSP. The applicant is replacing two
parallel on-street parking spaces along Main Street with nine angled on-street parking spaces. Finally, the
developer proposes to satisfy the 10% affordable housing requirement by paying affordable housing in -
lieu fees.
Study Session
The project was introduced to the Planning Commission (PC) on December 12, 2017, at a study session.
The PC inquired about a few project-related issues that are identified and expanded upon below and in the
Analysis section:
Parking In-lieu Fee Program
The Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP) includes provisions for payment of parking in-lieu fees for property
owners that are not able to meet on-site (non-residential) parking requirements. The request to participate
in the program requires concurrent approval of a conditional use permit for the establishment of a new use
or intensification of an existing use. The current fee is $28,830 per parking space. These fees allow for
the creation of additional parking spaces and parking opportunities through valet, striping of spaces,
shuttle, trolley, construction of spaces and associated design costs, and other similar programs. The
following are examples of the types of projects these fees have funded:
41 metered parking spaces at 1st St. and Atlanta Ave. parking lot (currently under construction)
Shuttle Services for the 4th of July and US Open
25 parking spaces at 5th and PCH (former Strand)
HB -199-Item 7. - 56
PC Staff Report 01/23/18 5 18sr02 – Main St. Mixed-Use
Trial period of Bike Valet Downtown project
The proposed project is proposing 5,000 sq. ft. commercial (retail) which requires a total of 15 on-site
parking spaces. Six of the required spaces will be on-site, at the rear of the property (east side). The
applicant is requesting to pay the in-lieu parking fees for the remaining nine spaces totaling $259,470
($28,830 x nine (9) parking spaces).
Affordable Housing
The affordable housing program is one tool the City utilizes to meet its commitment to provide housing
affordable to all economic sectors, and to meet its regional fair-share requirements for construction of
affordable housing. Per the DTSP and HBZSO, a minimum of 10% of all new residential construction
shall be affordable housing units unless a developer is proposing a residential project consisting of 30 or
fewer units in which case they may elect to pay a fee in-lieu of providing the units on-site to fulfill this
requirement. The project is proposing 20 residential units (condos), requiring two affordable housing
units (20 units x 10% = 2 units). The developer has requested to pay in-lieu fees for the two units, totaling
$822,567 (20 units x $41,128). The fees accepted in lieu of the construction of affordable units are
placed in the City’s affordable housing trust fund. Accordingly, the funds shall be used for projects which
have a minimum of 50% of the dwelling units affordable to very low- and low-income households, with at
least 20% of the units available to very low-income households. The funds may, at the discretion of the
City Council, be used for pre-development costs, land or air rights acquisition, rehabilitation, land write
downs, administrative costs, gap financing, or to lower the interest rate of construction loans or permanent
financing.

Mixed-Use – Specific Plan Overlay - 30-50 dwelling units per acre land use designation. The project will
HB -200-Item 7. - 57
PC Staff Report 01/23/18 6 18sr02 – Main St. Mixed-Use
implement both the General Plan and specific plan designations of the site. The proposed development is
consistent with the intent of these designations, and the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan as
follows:
A. Land Use Element
Goal LU-1: New commercial, industrial, and residential development is coordinated to
ensure that the land use pattern is consistent with the overall goals and needs
of the community.
Policies LU-1A: Ensure that development is consistent with the land use designations
presented in the Land Use Map, including density, intensity, and use
standards applicable to each land use designation.
Policies LU-1D: Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale,
and character to complement adjoining uses.
Goal LU-7: Neighborhoods, corridors, and community subareas are well designed, and
buildings, enhanced streets, and public spaces contribute to a strong sense
of place.
Policies LU-7A Preserve unique neighborhoods, corridors, and subareas, and continue to
use specific plans to distinguish districts and neighborhoods by character
and appearance.
Policies LU-7B Use street trees, signage, landscaping, street furniture, public art, and other
aesthetic elements to enhance the appearance and identity of subareas,
neighborhoods, corridors, nodes, and public spaces.
Goal LU-11: Commercial land uses provide goods and services to meet regional and
local needs.
Policies LU-11A: Encourage a variety of commercial uses that cater to local and regional
demand to create an environment that meets resident needs and increases
the capture of sales tax revenues.
The proposed project is consistent with the land use designation which allows for mixed-use at the
subject site. The proposed architectural style an d site layout of the mixed-use project is consistent
with the proportion, scale, and character of the existing development in the area, which also includes
similar mixed-use projects. The development will improve an underutilized site and the condominium
units will provide an opportunity for ownership.
The proposed project will provide a wide arrange and diversity of commercial uses and cater to the
needs of local residents and residents in the surrounding region. The project will provide additional
commercial uses that will encourage tourism to the site and the surrounding area. The project will
facilitate employment opportunities and will not impact the subject site and surrounding area. The
HB -201-Item 7. - 58
PC Staff Report 01/23/18 7 18sr02 – Main St. Mixed-Use
design of the project as approved by the Design Review Board promotes the development of a
commercial building that conveys a high-quality visual image and character that is intended to expand
the existing development pattern of Downtown Huntington Beach. The project’s open space
incorporates enhanced hardscape and landscape materials consistent with the DTSP Design
Guidelines.
B. Housing Element
Policy 3.1: Encourage the production of housing that meets all economic segments of
the community, including lower, moderate, and upper income households,
to maintain a balanced community.
Policy 6.1: Implement the City’s Green Building Program to ensure new development
is energy and water efficient.
The project consists of 20 condominium units, which adds to the City’s housing stock. The development
request as proposed is consistent with the intent of the policies within the Housing Element because it will
add to the City’s housing stock and create new opportunities for purchase in the Downtown area. The
project is required to pay affordable housing in-lieu fees which will go towards the provision of housing
for lower to moderate income households. As such, the project will contribute to the City’s overall
housing goals. Furthermore, green building practices for the construction are proposed such as
construction waste diverted from landfill, drought tolerant planting, and high-efficiency irrigation system.
The units will also include energy efficient windows, energy efficient roof, and high efficacy lighting.
C. Coastal Element
Policy C 1.1.4: Where feasible, locate visitor-serving commercial uses in existing
developed areas or at selected points of attraction for visitors.
Goal C 3: Provide a variety of recreational and visitor commercial serving uses for a
range of cost and market preferences.
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.
The proposed project would incorporate visitor-serving commercial uses on the ground floor and
residential uses on the upper floor. The mix of uses complements the urban downtown environment by
integrating commercial services for the subject and nearby residential uses. The project site is located
near established points of attraction, including the Huntington Beach Municipal Pier, and is intended to
reinforce the vicinity as a major visitor-serving district.
Zoning Compliance:
This project is located in District No. 1, Downtown Core Mixed-Use of SP5–CZ (Downtown Specific
Plan – Coastal Zone), which establishes the area as the downtown for the City by creating a more urban
atmosphere, encouraging relatively higher intensity development, and promotes visitor-serving mixed-use
HB -202-Item 7. - 59
PC Staff Report 01/23/18 8 18sr02 – Main St. Mixed-Use
commercial, office, and residential developments. The project complies with the requirements of the SP5
zoning district, with exception of the upper story setback on the third floor. The request to participate in
the parking in-lieu fee program for a portion of the required commercial parking (nine spaces) is subject
to approval of CUP.
Upper Story Setback
The DTSP requires a 10 ft. average setback from the ground floor façade for all stories above the second
floor to reduce the bulk and mass of buildings with third and fourth stories. The applicant is requesting a
Special Permit to deviate from the 10 ft. average setback from the ground floor building façade for the
third floor. Currently, the project is proposing the third floor with an average setback of approximately
2.52 ft. from the ground floor building façade. The fourth floor meets the upper story setbacks due to a
large open air deck on the fourth floor. When roof eaves, overhangs, covered balconies, or awnings
project more than 30 in. from the building wall, the building façade is measured from the front of that
projection and no longer from the actual building/unit facade. The proposed third floor deviates
significantly from this development standard due to the fact that the entire fourth floor aligns with the
third floor, resulting with the façade being measured from the front of these roof overhangs. If the third
floor building façade was measured from the unit/building, the deviation would be less significant at 6.10
ft.
In-lieu Parking
The proposed development requires a total of 60 parking spaces. A total of 51 parking spaces will be
provided on-site:

The developer is requesting to satisfy the remaining nine parking space requirement via payment of
parking in-lieu fees as defined in the DTSP. Although it does not fulfill the project’s on-site parking
requirement, the applicant is replacing two parallel on-street parking spaces fronting the site, along Main
Street, and restriping them with nine angled on-street parking spaces.
A list of City Code Requirements of the applicable provisions of the DTSP, HBZSO, and Municipal Code
has been provided to the applicant and is attached here (Attachment No. 4) for informational purposes
only.
HB -203-Item 7. - 60
PC Staff Report 01/23/18 9 18sr02 – Main St. Mixed-Use
Urban Design Guidelines Conformance:
The Downtown Specific Plan Design Guidelines provide the minimum qualitative design expectations for
the downtown. All development is required to comply with the spirit and intent of the design guidelines.
Building forms and facades influence cohesiveness, comfort, and aesthetic pride and at the same time
promote general pedestrian activity, encourage shopping, and increase a sense of security. Where
commercial buildings are neighbors to residential buildings or where infill buildings are being
constructed, consideration of scale, detail, and materials is very important. The massing and scale of
structures should remain in harmony with the surrounding natural setting and existing structures.
The proposed building is designed to contrast with the surrounding buildings by providing a more
contemporary architectural theme that includes flat roofs, tower elements, large window glazing systems,
and metal awnings. The building incorporates architectural and design principles to orient the building to
the pedestrian environment with primarily glass facade to provide the “human scale” element that
separates the first floor from second floor. Building volumes are articulated with variation in wall planes
to reduce building massing and provide a larger public open space. The building facades incorporate a
variety of building materials to provide visual interest, including smooth stucco, wood siding, concrete
veneer, and glass tiles that enhance the paseo. Although the project does not comply with upper story
setback requirements along the third floor, it provides significant setbacks and offsets along the rear and
the south side yard setback to compensate for that setback deficiency. Additionally, the project provides a
larger than required public open space along Main Street (553 sq. ft. public open space required vs. 738
sq. ft. provided). The project’s overall conformance to the DTSP design guidelines ensures that the
building form, height, and architectural design convey an overall high level of quality materials consistent
with the vision of the Specific Plan.
Environmental Status:
The proposed project is covered by Downtown Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report No. 08-
1, which was adopted by the City of Huntington Beach on January 19, 2010. The proposed consolidation
of six parcels into an approximately 0.42 net acre lot for a one-lot subdivision, construction of a four-story
mixed-use project consisting of 5,000 sq. ft. of retail and 20 residential units (condominiums); and a
special permit request to deviate from upper story setback requirements, along with associated open space
and infrastructure is subject to compliance with the adopted mitigation measures contained in the Final
Environmental Impact Report No. 08-1 (see MMRP Attachment No. 5).
Coastal Status:
The proposed project is within a non-appealable portion of the Coastal Zone. Coastal Development
Permit No. 17-003 is being processed concurrently with Conditional Use Permit No. 17-008 pursuant to
Chapter 245 of the HBZSO. The proposed project, with exception of the third floor upper story setback
and request to participate in the parking in-lieu fee program, complies with the zoning code, as
conditioned.

PC Staff Report 01/23/18 10 18sr02 – Main St. Mixed-Use
Design Review Board:
On December 12, 2017, the Design Review Board (DRB) reviewed and approved Design Review No. 17-
003 to review the design, colors, and materials of the four story mixed-use building. The proposed
building will be compatible with existing development at similar heights and massing and incorporate a
more contemporary architectural theme in the area that includes flat roofs, tower elements, large window
glazing s ystems, and metal awnings, providing visual interest and a quality design to the streetscape. Wall
offsets on the building facade and decorative features to reduce the massing of the building combined
with decorative paving at the site entry will create visual interest from the frontage along Main Street.
Windows above the ground floor are recessed and accent features such as wood siding, concrete veneer,
and metal cable railing system along the balconies enhance the overall design.
Subdivision Committee:
Tentative Tract Map No. 18068 was reviewed by the Subdivision Committee on January 16, 2018. The
Subdivision Committee reviewed the recommended conditions of approval for the tentative tract map
from the Community Development, Fire and Public Works Departments. The Subdivision Committee
unanimously recommended approval of the proposed project to the Planning Commission.
Other Departments Concerns and Requirements:
The Departments of Public Works, Police, Fire, Office of Business Development, and Community
Development have reviewed the project and identified a list of recommended conditions that are
incorporated into the suggested conditions of approval as well as code requirements (Attachment No. 4)
applicable to the project.
Public Notification:
Legal notice was published in the Huntington Beach Wave on January 11, 2018, and notices were sent to
property owners of record and tenants within a 500 ft. radius of the subject property, the applicant, the
property owner, and interested parties. As of January 17, 2018, two communications have been received
(Attachment No. 7).

ANALYSIS:
Staff supports the proposed project, based on the stated purpose of District 1- Downtown Core Mixed-Use
of the DTSP, which is to establish the area as the downtown for the City by creating a more urban
atmosphere, encouraging developments with viable visitor-serving, coastal dependent and coastal-related
commercial and residential uses that are consistent with the Coastal Act. This district is a prime mixed-
use location within the Downtown and provides visitors and residents with numerous opportunities for
visitor-serving as well as year-round commercial uses. The proposed project will not impede public
HB -205-Item 7. - 62
PC Staff Report 01/23/18 11 18sr02 – Main St. Mixed-Use
access to and public recreation of the coastal resources since the project site was previously a developed
site.
Compatibility with Surrounding Uses and Compliance with HBZSO, SP 5 & Subdivision Map Act
The proposed four-story mixed-use development will be compatible with the nearby and surrounding
properties. Properties to the north and south are two-story commercial developments and to the east,
across the alley, are a range of multi-family and single family dwellings. Finally, to the west are
commercial properties, with similar mixed-use buildings to the northwest and southwest. The three story
mixed use project, Town Square, is located just northwest of the subject site on the opposite side of Main
Street. Town Square is a similar mixed use project with ground floor retail, restaurant, and service uses
and two floors of residential condos above. Due to additional setbacks throughout the site, the project
will be consistent in massing and scale to adjacent commercial and residential uses, many of which are up
to three stories tall. The project is also compatible with surrounding uses in terms of setbacks, private and
public open space, building height, and landscaping. The proposed building will be compatible with
existing development at similar heights and massing.
The project will be subject to the park land in-lieu fees pursuant to the requirements of HBZSO Section
254.08 – Parkland Dedications. The fees shall be paid and calculated according to a schedule adopted by
the City Council resolution (Ordinance No. 3562, Resolution Nos. 2002-46 and 2002-57).
With the exception of the request to pay parking in-lieu fees and the deviation of the upper story setbacks
on a portion of the building, the proposed project complies with, and at times exceeds, the provisions of
SP 5 with regards to setbacks, public open space, building height and landscaping. Amongst other
development standards, the project will also include larger than required private and common open space
(3,000 sq. ft. private and common open space required versus 6,242 sq. ft. private and common open
space provided). Adequate refuse disposal for residential and commercial uses will be provided via
interior chutes and collection from the alley. Visitor serving commercial uses will be provided along the
ground floor facing Main Street as envisioned in the DTSP. A paseo to connect the rear parking to Main
Street further connects the project to pedestrian activity on Main Street. Furthermore, the tentative tract
map for a one lot subdivision for condominium purposes complies with the Subdivision Map Act and is
suitable for the type and density of the project.
Architectural Design, Site Layout, and Parking
The proposed development is well designed and appropriate for the subject site based on the applicable
zoning, surrounding uses and the physical characteristics of the lot. The project, as proposed, achieves
substantial conformance with the DTSP. The building incorporates architectural and design principles to
orient the building to the pedestrian environment with primarily glass facade to provide the “human scale”
element that separates the first floor from second floor. The building facades incorporate a variety of
building materials to provide visual interest, including smooth stucco, wood siding, concrete veneer, and
glass tiles that enhance the paseo. The project, as conditioned, will incorporate a public art element into
the overall project design.
The layout of the site improves the visual surroundings by taking vehicular access from the rear public
alley, hence minimizing the visibility of the subterranean parking garage entrance and ground level
HB -206-Item 7. - 63
PC Staff Report 01/23/18 12 18sr02 – Main St. Mixed-Use
parking spaces from the street. Adequate residential parking is provided within five guest spaces and 40
parking spaces within the subterranean garage. The applicant is providing six of the 15 required
commercial parking spaces at the rear of the property. Although it does not fulfill the project’s on-site
parking requirement, the applicant is replacing two parallel on-street parking spaces along Main Street
with nine angled on-street parking spaces. The remainder of the nine commercial parking spaces will be
satisfied by participation in the parking in-lieu fee program. The In-Lieu Parking program was
established in 1993 per City Council Resolution 6522 for certain properties within the Downtown Parking
Master Plan area based on a shared parking concept. Visitors to the downtown area will usually park
once and patronize multiple establishments and locations in one trip. The objective of the program is to
facilitate traffic and pedestrian movement in the Downtown core, and provide future opportunities for
additional parking. Additional parking opportunities are created by the parking in-lieu fee program that
would serve the project and maximize utilization of the parking supply for the downtown area. The
parking in-lieu fee program creates programs such as valet, re-striping, shuttle trolley, and other similar
programs resulting in the provision of additional parking or construction of surface or structured parking
and associated design costs in District 1 of the DTSP. Furthermore, within the shared parking
environment of the downtown core, on-street parking and parking facilities serve multiple uses in the
vicinity. The restriping of the on-street parking directly in front the development will provide additional
parking for commercial patrons.
Special Permit
The DTSP allows minor deviation from development standards through a special permit process when the
Planning Commission can determine that greater benefits from the project can be provided than if all
minimum requirements were met. The Special Permit results in a greater benefit from the project and will
promote a better living environment because it allows for a larger common open space in the form of a
deck on the fourth floor that is partially open to the sky. Additionally, due to the bend on Main Street and
the fact that the south west portion of the building is setback, the project provides a larger than req uired
public open space that is open to the sky. This also allows residents to maximize their views on their
decks. In order to comply with the upper story requirement along the third floor, the ground floor
building façade would lose many of its unique architectural features along the front of the building in
order to come closer to the street, thereby, creating a flatter design with no articulation. Additionally, it
would reduce both the common and public open space. The special permit would allow for a mixed-use
project with unique and quality architecture that includes a more contemporary architectural theme
consisting of flat roofs, tower elements, large window glazing systems, and metal awnings. In addition,
building volumes are articulated with variation in wall planes to reduce building massing and provide a
larger public open space. Similar mixed-use projects have been approved near the subject site
(Townsquare and Plaza Almeria); therefore, the request would also be consistent with objectives of the
Downtown Specific Plan in achieving a development adapted to the terrain and compatible with the
surrounding environment. It is important to note that the majority of newer buildings in the downtown
have received some relief from the strict application of the upper story setbacks.
Staff supports the proposed project’s site layout, design, and architecture because despite the requested
deviations, it results in a project that is consistent with the scope and intent of the development in the
downtown and supported by the General Plan and the Downtown Specific Plan. The proposed project
will not conflict with the identified goals, policies, and objectives contained in the General Plan. Staff
recommends approval of the proposed subdivision, project, and a special permit.

Project Description/Request: 414-424 Main Street, Huntington Beach, California
APN’s 024-134-04 &05
Zoning: Downtown Specific Plan – District 1 Mixed-Use
The project site consists of 18,725 square feet or approximately 0.43 acres. The proposed project consists of a four-
story (45’ tall) mixed-use project consisting of three (3) one-bedroom and seventeen (17) two-bedroom residential for
sale, luxury condominium units located on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors. The residential component will consist of a total
of 33,304 square feet. The one-bedroom units are 1,189 square feet each and the two-bedroom units range from
1,474 to 1,850 square feet. The ground floor facing Main Street will consist of approximately 5,000 square feet of
commercial space. The number of code required parking spaces for the residential totals 45 spaces and will all be
provided on-site within one level of subterranean parking and at grade spaces located off the alley. The number of
code required parking spaces for the commercial totals 15 spaces, 5 of which will be provided at grade off the alley,
the remaining 10 space requirement will be met via the payment of parking “in-lieu’ fees. It should also be noted that
in addition to and over and above the code required parking, 9 net new angled street parking spaces will be added on
Main Street by means of the elimination of existing driveway curb cuts.
First Floor (at grade) – 5,000 square feet of commercial fronting Main Street, along with 7 parking spaces and a
loading space located off the alley
Second Floor – 7 residential condominiums
Third Floor – 7 residential condominiums
Fourth Floor – 6 residential condominiums, along with an 1,886 square foot community common lounge space
fronting Main Street and partially open to the sky.
Each of the residential units have private open space provided which exceeds the code requirement. The open space
is in the form of outdoor patios and decks which vary in size to be consistent with the unique articulation of the
building façade.
The patios and decks are setback from the building “façade” by well over the minimum requirement of 10 feet as
described in the DTSP. Due to an interpretation of the language of the DTSP with regard to the third-floor setback
requirement, Staff have recommended that a request for Special Permit be submitted for a deviation from the 10 foot
“average” setback for third and fourth floors as described in the DTSP. The Applicant believes that the building
setback complies with the language of the DTSP with regards to the third-floor setback. In addition, the Applicant has
provided a number of additional building setbacks and open spaces which are not required in the DTSP and
therefore are not considered when applying the language of the DTSP to the overall building design.
The building exterior will consist of a number of natural materials and textures. Board formed concrete, natural stone,
sustainable wood siding and ceiling elements, smooth stucco and concrete siding.
This project will also include all mandated “green building” improvements, as well as, voluntary “green building”
standards such as:
Bicycle storage
Covered/shaded parking
Large windows to provide natural daylighting
Window shading elements
Durable exterior materials
Energy efficient noise reducing Lo - E windows
Light colored flat roof to reflect heat of sun

Surrounding Properties:
North – 428 Main Street and beyond consists of one and two story retail/office buildings
South – 410 Main Street Jax Bicycle Center and at-grade parking lot
East – Located to the rear of the project across the alley are both single family and multifamily residential units
West – Across Main Street consists of one and two-story retail/office buildings along with at-grade parking
Operating Hours for 5,000 SF of Commercial – Proposed 7am to 10pm
The Downtown Specific Plan, requires that all at grade commercial facing Main Street consist of “Visitor Serving
Commercial”, which it will, but the predominant population served this far north on Main Street is Huntington Beach
locals. We feel the location and overall design of the building will be better served for businesses that cater to the
local community.
Number of Employees – Estimated at approximately 20

No Change to prior recommendations dated 3-14-17 MBoldt #2842.
STAIRWELL SAFETY
Concern:
Stairwells offer little visibility.
Recommend:
Consider a window on the stairwell wall that faces the exterior of the building. This will allow
natural light, as well as potential surveillance opportunities from the exterior.
At minimum, install surveillance cameras at the doors of the stairwells, and the interior of the
stairwell. Ensure the stairwell is well-lighted 24 hours.
ATTACHMENT NO. 4.32
HB -242-Item 7. - 99
ROOM NEXT TO 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floor ELEVATOR
Concern:
What is this room? It is adjacent to the elevator. Its use is unknown.
Recommend:
Design the area around the elevators and stairwells to allow visibility into this area, therefore eliminating
any areas of possible concealment.
SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS
Concern:
Provide visibility in these areas: Garage, exit, entrance, hallways, community recreational space, and roof
deck.
Recommend:
Use surveillance cameras, consistent lighting, and signs stating that there are surveillance cameras.
COMMUNITY RECREATIONAL AREA
Concern:
There is a concern of potential conflict between the users of this Community Recreational Area and the
surrounding residents.
Recommend:
Behavior rules and Community Recreational Areas hours to be established and enforced.
ROOF SAFETY
Concern:
The wall on the roof should be high enough to prevent someone from easily climbing over, or falling.
Recommend
Maintain a 3’- 5’ setback on the roof between the mesh screen and the edge of the roof.
Install the mesh screen to a height at least 5’ to mitigate the possibility of someone falling over the screen.

PARKING GARAGE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS
Concern:
Public safety radios transmissions
Recommend:
It is imperative that an effective antenna be installed so that emergency personnel can
receive/transmit in the parking structure. Install an 800 MHz system.
POLICE ACCESS
Concern:
Is there a Knox-Box? Police must have access.
Recommend:
If there is a Knox-Box on the property, install a “duel” Knox-Box to ensure police officers, as
well as firefighters have access to the property.
PARKING GARAGE VISIBILITY
Concern:
Visibility and safety in the parking garage.
Recommend:
Paint the interior white to reflect light. Ensure that lighting covers every corner, as well as the
areas between the vehicles. Install surveillance cameras, and post signs.
If there is on-site security, the parking garage should be a priority for patrol.

impact analysis concludes that project traffic will not
result in changes to the level of service for existing,
project buildout, and horizon year conditions. Therefore, the project would result in a less than
significant impact on the City’s circulation system.
While the project’s individual contribution would not
result in level of service changes at the study
intersections, the project would contribute to an
incremental increase in traffic. However, the project is subject to payment of a Circulation System
Development Impact Fee to cover its fair share
contribution for improvements required to meet level
of service standards.
