come back as a Study Session item. Another question to consider, depending upon location within the

A motion was made by Hardy, second Peterson to direct the City Manager to issue a return to Council

Council Direction for Consideration, Goal This Evening:, Research Best Practices, Nationally - 2015

40
Council/PFA Regular Minutes

Page 3 of 15
Design Review Board (DRB) be involved in the approval process. She also expressed the need for more
information on the rules regarding how private property is managed as it relates to public art.
Councilmember Delgleize expressed her support for Councilmember Hardy's comments and concerns.
Councilmember Brenden agreed with Councilmember Hardy that clarification on the artistic expression
rights of homeowners as well as placement of public art on developments is needed. He also expressed
a need to better understand possible costs related to the review process and the hiring of a consultant.
Councilmember Brenden asked for more specifics related to the suggestion of possibly adding Public Art
as a budget line item.
Director of Community Development Luna-Reynosa explained that generally an "in lieu fee" is a choice
offered to a developer: pay the in-lieu fee, or install public art. The bottom line is that Council needs to
decide if they want to require or encourage public art.
Councilmember Brenden stated his interest in encouraging participation through incentives, but was also
sensitive to not creating additional burden on any building activity within the City.
Councilmember O'Connell thanked everyone who had a part in providing this report and stated his
support of the plan but would like to see incentives rather than an in-lieu fee approach.
Mayor Pro Tem Peterson and Director Luna-Reynosa discussed the current public art guidelines which
encourage developers to install public art. Mayor Pro Tem Peterson expressed his frustration that some
public art, even if questionable, is not actually visible to the general public. He stated support for
allowing in-lieu fees, and encouraging the work of more local artists in public art projects.
Regarding standards for artistic expression such as colors and style on private property, Mayor Pro Tem
Peterson pointed to standards within adopted specific plans that receive DRB review.
Councilmember Semeta and staff discussed the percentage of cities that have a public art master plan,
and how private organizations often contribute funds to support public art.
Councilmember Brenden expressed appreciation for the apparent Council consensus that the review
process should not add another layer of fees, and his expectation that the process should not incur costs
for the City.

Study Session.
2. 18-171 Presentation made regarding consideration of Concerts on the Beach
City Manager Wilson introduced Director of Community Services Marie Knight who presented a
PowerPoint communication jointly with Police Chief Handy titled Concerts on the Beach with slides
entitled: Issue and Consideration, History (3), Public Safety Concerns (3), Staff Recommendation:, If the
policy is changed to allow concerts, staff recommends: (2), and Questions?.
Councilmember Delgleize and Chief Handy discussed that if the City decides to allow events on the
beach, how crowd control is managed considering the spill-over effect, if there is really enough staffing to
ensure safety, and determining beach event locations.

Councilmember Hardy stated that the current policy to not have concerts was strongly supported by the
residents who asked for a focus on family-oriented events. She further stated that any beach concert
location will impact either hotel and/or camping guests who may not be fans of any particular concert. In
her opinion it will be near impossible to contain the music to a specific area, and any policy cannot be
discriminatory by only allowing a certain type of music, and therefore she will not support this item.
Councilmember Semeta stated that Chief Handy's staffing, safety and noise control concerns are
compelling reasons to not support this item. However, she added that maybe smaller concerts with no
alcohol allowed, which are family oriented, and offered as part of a bigger event, might be considered in
the future.
Councilmember Brenden stated his agreement with other Councilmember comments, plus his concern
about the issues created when dispersing up to 8,000 people at one time in the Downtown area. The
State beach does not have some of the limitations that the City beach does such as proximity to
residents and businesses as well as parking limitations. Councilmember Brenden further stated he
believes that residents are entitled to enjoy the City's amenities without a parking hassle or having to join
big crowds every weekend.
Mayor Pro Tem Peterson and Chief Handy discussed recouping staff time costs associated with planning
for major events. Mayor Pro Tem Peterson encouraged further discussions regarding possible solutions
to the additional seasonal event staffing needs, and summarized the Council consensus that current
policies will stay in place for holding concerts on the beach.
A motion was made by O'Connell, second Semeta to recess to Closed Session for Items 3 – 12. With no
objections, the motion carried.

ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS
23. 18-099 Approved the Annual Report and Fiscal Year 2018-19 Huntington Beach Downtown
Business Improvement District (DTBID) Budget; and adopted Resolution No. 2018-
43 Repealing Resolution No. 2018-33 and declaring the City’s intention to levy an
annual assessment for Fiscal Year 2018-19 within the Huntington Beach Downtown
Business Improvement District (DTBID); and, scheduled a Public Hearing for
September 17, 2018
Councilmember O'Connell recused himself for this item due to his financial interest in Legends Sports
Bar on Main Street, and left the dais.
City Manager Wilson introduced this item and stated that the City has received communication from four
Downtown business owners requesting that they be removed from the Downtown Business Improvement
District: Pacific City, Pasea, Hyatt and Hilton Hotels. If the four requests are approved, the financial
impact would be approximately $33,220 less in annual revenue.
Councilmember Brenden recognized the new Board for their efforts to address issues that were raised
during the IDA study. Fiscal policies and management have been improved, including additional security
in the Downtown area. Councilmember Brenden and Deputy Director of Economic Development Kellee
Fritzal discussed the two options before the Council in greater detail and reviewed budget numbers.
Mayor Pro Tem Peterson stated that he doesn't believe a budget reduction of about $30,000 would make
a major difference, and he believes that the new BID Board will continue to work hard to make
improvements and are working very collaboratively to benefit all areas of the BID. Mayor Pro Tem
Peterson stated his support for Option 1 which would keep the current BID boundaries and provide an
opportunity for the continued success of the new board. This BID will be reviewed again next year and
changes can be made then if the Board fails to perform as expected.
Councilmember Delgleize stated her initial support for Option 1 because of the dramatic improvements
she has seen recently, but is also aware of the concerns shared by Pacific City and the three hotels.
Councilmember Hardy stated that in her opinion Main Street needs support because if it is not successful
then the whole rest of the area will suffer, and that is exactly why the BID was set up with the current
boundaries. Councilmember Hardy stated her support for Option 1 with a clear intent to revisit the
boundaries issue next year.
Councilmember Brenden stated his support for Option 2 because there are BID members who do not
see any benefit, and he believes that Option 2 would provide proper focus for only the historical
downtown area. He further re-stated his full support for the new BID Board. Councilmember Brenden
added that regardless of which Option the Council approves, he would like to request that at the
scheduled Public Hearing the BID Board address 1) the issue of updating the database to ensure it is
correct and complete with local contact details, and 2) clarification on the plans for using the surplus
funds.

"A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Repealing Resolution No. 2018-33 and

COUNCILMEMBER ITEMS

Pickleball Opportunities
Councilmember Delgleize introduced this item by thanking the many members of the public who made
the time to share their pickleball passion. Councilmember Delgleize also acknowledged Leslie Gilson as
an example of what one dedicated person with a group of volunteers can do as demonstrated in the
transformation at Gibbs Park. Councilmember Delgleize stated that she has similar expectations in the
enthusiasm, dedication and leadership exhibited by Diana Abruscato.
Councilmember O'Connell stated his support for this item, and also thanked all the members of the
community who shared their enthusiasm for more space to play pickleball.
Councilmember Hardy expressed a desire to see the Community Services Commission be a bit more
creative than just to consider painting additional lines on existing tennis courts. She suggested there
may be underutilized flat park space, or to consider if the School District might be interested in a
cooperative effort to create pickleball courts that could benefit students and the community.
Councilmember Semeta stated her support for this item and expects to see creative solutions that will not
negatively impact one sport over another.
Councilmember Brenden congratulated Diana Abruscato for a successful pickleball tournament and
stated his support for finding workable options for expansion of pickleball opportunities.

Good wiht IT. For the air traffic noise working group I setup the online petition,

all but one of the air traffic noise meeting due to being sick that date. Very dependable.
Intrested in helping with our environment here in HB. I've seen alot of changes in all my 50 plus
years. As an avid walker, we walk all areas of the city and I know it very well. Typical walk for us
is 10 to 20 miles and this allows us to see all areas of the city, from the beach areas to the parks
Like I memtioned, being an avid walker (urban hiker) I know this city very well. And being a
resident longer than most, I can make sure that I do my part to help leave HB nicer than
it ever was for me.
To help all I can. Spread the word on what residents need to know about our environment and
what's being done to protect it, enhance it and keep our city beautiful, clean and welcoming
to all that come to enjoy our beaches and commuity. We have a special place here in OC and
need to protect it. I can be a dependable person on this board for sure!

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Robert Handy, Chief of Police
Subject:
Approve, accept and authorize execution of the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP)
Safety Grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS); and, approve appropriations
Statement of Issue:
On August 8, 2018, the Police Department received notice from the California Office of Traffic Safety
(OTS) that the City of Huntington Beach was tentatively awarded a new one-year traffic safety grant.
The Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) Grant provides funding in the amount of
$550,000. These funds are intended to reimburse costs associated with Sobriety/Driver License
checkpoints, one full-time DUI officer, multi-faceted traffic enforcement details, and computers for
motor officers. These events are designed to reduce traffic collisions, injuries, and fatalities through
enforcement, education, and media attention.
Financial Impact:
This one-year reimbursable grant is funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety. The amount of
$550,000 is to be utilized between October 1, 2018, and September 30, 2019. The appropriation
request is fully offset by the estimated revenues from the grant.
Recommended Action:
A) Approve and accept the OTS STEP Grant agreement #PT19050 between OTS and the City of
Huntington Beach for $550,000; and,
B) Increase appropriations by $550,000 plus accrued interest in the Police Department for the grant
and authorize the Chief of Police to execute the grant agreement with OTS.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve and direct staff accordingly.

File #:18-282 MEETING DATE:9/4/2018
Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach has always been concerned with the safe and efficient movement of
vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic on our highways, streets and bike paths. The City of
Huntington Beach is currently going through several development projects, some of which will add to
both seasonal and year-long traffic related issues.
In 2016, the Huntington Beach Police Department arrested over 902 DUI drivers. This grant will
allow us to use progressive and innovative enforcement techniques to increase our DUI enforcement
efforts.
In addition to the DUI enforcement, we will be working to improve our ranking in several of the Office
of Traffic and Safety categories. The most recent OTS statistics indicate Huntington Beach is fifth (5
th) out of 57 comparable cities for alcohol involved collisions and ranks fifth (5
th) for bicyclist involved
collisions. Huntington Beach also ranks 22
nd for total fatal and injury collisions, drivers who had been
drinking under 21 years of age, motorcycle involved, pedestrians over 65 years of age, bicyclists
under 15 years old, speed related, and nighttime collisions (9:00 PM to 3:00 AM). We are seeking to
use the proposed funding to increase traffic enforcement actions and work to identify behaviors that
contribute to the root causes of collisions. Further, we would like to provide additional methods of
education to inform the public that careless and negligent behaviors will result in drastic
consequences to themselves, their passengers, or other affected citizens in and around our
roadways.
This particular grant will reimburse the City of Huntington Beach for expenditures associated with
Sobriety/Driver License Checkpoints, one full-time DUI officer, and a variety of traffic related details.
OTS will administer and handle the grant funds for the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Robert Handy, Chief of Police
Subject:
Approve and authorize execution of a three-year Services Agreement with the City of Irvine for
Public Safety Helicopter Services
Statement of Issue:
The City of Irvine is requesting a three-year contractual agreement with the City of Huntington Beach
for Public Safety Helicopter Services.
Financial Impact:
The proposed contract could generate $300,000 per year in General Fund revenue for the City of
Huntington Beach in exchange for Public Safety Helicopter Services for the City of Irvine. During the
proposed three-year contract, revenues will be deposited into Business Unit 10000100, Object Code
46860.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the “Services Agreement for Public
Safety Helicopter Support between the City of Huntington Beach and the City of Irvine.”
Alternative Action(s):.
Do not approve and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The Irvine Police Department is requesting Public Safety Helicopter Services from Huntington Beach.
The request is on a per-call basis at an hourly rate starting at $770 for the first year. The hourly rate
would be adjusted yearly based on the change in the Metropolitan Consumer Price Index. The
proposed contract includes a 60-day opt-out clause for either city.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development
Subject:
Approve and authorize execution of Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services with
Sagecrest Planning and Environmental, LLC for As-Needed Planning Services in the amount
of $147,000
Statement of Issue:
Transmitted for City Council’s consideration is a request to amend an existing contract between the
City and Sagecrest Planning and Environmental, LLC. The contract for professional planning
services would be increased by $147,000. The contract amendment is needed to continue to provide
professional planning services.
Financial Impact:
The Sagecrest Planning and Environmental, LLC amendment will not require additional appropriation
as it will be funded from the approved Community Development Department FY 18/19 budget,
Professional Services account 10060201.69365.
Recommended Action:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute: “Amendment No.1 to Professional
Services Contract between the City of Huntington Beach and Sagecrest Planning and Environmental,
LLC for Professional Planning Services.”
Alternative Action(s):
Deny the Amendment between the City and Sagecrest Planning and Environmental, LLC and direct
staff accordingly.
Analysis:
Applicants who submit projects to the City pay fees for these services and expect reasonable service
levels. When City staff can no longer meet the demands of increased development activity, these
services have historically been supplemented with professional services provided by planning
consultants. This approach is a cost effective method of closing the gap between the demands for
planning services and the ability of City staff to meet this demand.

On November 27, 2017, the City of Huntington Beach approved a three-year, $90,000 contract with
Sagecrest Planning and Environmental, LLC for Professional Planning Services. Currently, there is
not enough staff to perform the necessary entitlement processing to meet the State Mandated Permit
Streamlining Act. Therefore, outside consultants are continuing to be used.
With the fluctuation and current increase in entitlement processing activity in FY 18/19 we anticipate
this increased activity to continue. In addition, in the upcoming months certain staff members will
need to utilize FMLA leave. We have been utilizing professional services contracts to satisfy the
increase in demand for entitlement processing since there is not enough staff to do this work. The
Community Development Department is requesting the continuation of resources to provide as-
needed Planning Services in a timely manner. Staff recommends the City Council approve the
amendment with Sagecrest Planning and Environmental, LLC in the amount of $147,000 and
authorize the Mayor and City clerk to execute the documents.
There is no impact to the General Fund.
Environmental Status:
The request is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b) (3) of the California Environmental Quality Act.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Antonia Graham, Assistant to the City Manager
Subject:
Approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and Huntington Beach
Hospital to enable the Huntington Beach Hospital to participate in the 340B Program
Statement of Issue:
On September 5, 2017 the City Council voted to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with Huntington Beach Hospital to allow them to participate in the 340B Program. Huntington Beach
Hospital is a non-profit that provides a disproportionate share of healthcare services to the Medicare
populations, in addition to supporting many programs that benefit the indigent, uninsured, or
underinsured populations in Huntington Beach. The CEO of the Hospital has again asked the City to
enter into a new MOU to enable them to continue to participate in the 340B program which would
enable the Hospital to participate in a low-cost drug program that benefits the aforementioned
populations. This Council Action seeks to once again enter into a no-cost MOU that allows the
Hospital to take part in a drug discount program.
Financial Impact:
There is no fiscal impact as this is a no-cost Memorandum of Understanding.
Recommended Action:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Memorandum of Understanding between the
City of Huntington Beach and the Huntington Beach Hospital for the 340B Program.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Huntington Beach and the
Huntington Beach Hospital and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
Created in 1992, the 340B Program works with manufacturers to provide outpatient drugs to covered
hospitals (e.g. Huntington Beach Hospital) at significantly reduced prices. The intent of the program
is to maintain services and lower medication costs for patients.
In order for the Hospital to participate in this Program, the Hospital must enter into an agreement with
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/29/2018Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™111
File #:18-280 MEETING DATE:9/4/2018
a unit of the state or local government pursuant to which the Hospital commits to provide health care
services to low-income individuals who are not entitled to Medicare or Medicaid benefits - at no
reimbursement or considerably less than full reimbursement from these patients. By entering into this
MOU, the Hospital agrees to continue its commitment to the provision of health care to indigent,
uninsured, and underinsured residents of Huntington Beach and Orange County. The Hospital
wishes to enter into this Program in order to maintain current levels of service. The savings from this
program are roughly eleven (11) percent greater than those obtained through the Medicaid Rebate
Program.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Travis K. Hopkins, PE, Director of Public Works
Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2018-49 amending Residential Permit Parking District “P” affecting
residents along Royalist Drive and Willett Lane
Statement of Issue:
Residents along Royalist Drive and Willett Lane have petitioned the City to be included in Permit
Parking District “P.”
Financial Impact:
The provisions of Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 requires that the residents
choosing to participate in a residential permit parking district pay a proportionate share of the cost to
establish or amend the district making the district cost-neutral to the City. Typical costs include, but
are not limited to, installation of signs, curb markings, staff time to issue permits, and administrative
costs to create or amend the district.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2018-49, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Amending Permit Parking District “P” Within the City of Huntington Beach.”
Alternative Action(s):
Deny the recommended action.
Analysis:
On August 18, 2014, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2014-58 creating Permit Parking District
“P” consisting of Plymouth Lane between Edinger Avenue and Royalist Drive. The parking district is
located north of Edinger Avenue just east of Springdale Street (Attachment 1) and consists of
eighteen (18) addresses (Attachment 2). The permit parking restrictions are all day, every day,
including holidays.
Public Works received a petition submitted by residents on Plymouth Lane (north of Royalist Drive),
Royalist Drive, and Willett Lane requesting to be included in Permit Parking District “P” due to
City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/29/2018Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™118
File #:18-275 MEETING DATE:9/4/2018
commuter vehicle parking impacts and related disturbances. The petitioning residents expressed
commuter vehicle parking related concerns that included inability to park in front of their homes,
parked vehicles blocking their driveways, littering, and the moving of trash receptacles on pick-up day
to create additional parking areas. Attachment 3 shows the current parking district and streets
requested to be included with the parking district amendment.
Following procedures in Municipal Code Chapter 10.24 (MC 10.24), Residential Permit Parking, staff
reviewed the request, determined the petition and concerns of the residents were valid, and
examined the proposed boundaries. Staff prepared and mailed letters to the affected properties
explaining the permit parking district requirements, proposed boundaries, and ballots for voting on
the parking district amendment. MC 10.24 requires a minimum of 75% of the property units be in
favor of the proposal to move the request for further consideration. Of the 86 affected properties, 67
ballots were completed and returned with 41 voting in favor (48%) of the proposal.
Although the original request did not receive the required 75% supporting the entire amendment area
identified in the petition, after reviewing the voting results and conducting initial field observations,
staff modified the proposed amendment streets with concurrence from the requesting residents.
Attachment 4 shows the proposed permit parking amendment streets. These streets received the
highest percent of voting support for permit parking and include Royalist Drive between Aulnay Lane
and Willett Lane (80% support), and Willett Lane south of Royalist Drive (78% support). Municipal
Code Chapter 10.42 allows staff discretion to modify the proposed boundaries of a requested permit
parking area for consideration.
As required by code, staff investigated the conditions on Royalist Drive and Willett Lane to assess
the parking conditions and associated issues expressed by the residents. Staff observed that
Royalist Drive experiences on-street parking impacts all day throughout the week; notably impacted
between Aulnay Lane and Willett Lane with the parking impacts extending to Willett Lane south of
Royalist Drive. Staff finds that unrestricted parking on these streets regularly interferes with available
on-street parking for the residents and their guests and supports the permit parking district
amendment.
The number of addresses proposed to be added is 27. As required by Municipal Code 10.42, notices
with the date and time of the City Council meeting were sent to the affected properties and properties
within 500 feet the proposed amended district boundaries.
Environmental Status:
None required.

Proposed Permit Parking District P
Amendment
Permit Parking District P was established by Council Resolution No. 2014-58 on August 18, 2014. The
parking district consists of Plymouth Lane between Edinger Avenue and Royalist Drive and is located
east of Springdale Street and north of Edinger Avenue. The location of Permit Parking District P in the
city is shown on the vicinity map below. The addresses comprising the parking district are shown on
Figure 1.

Figure 1. Permit Parking District P Addresses
Residents along streets near Parking District P (Royalist Drive, Willett Lane, and Plymouth Lane north of
Royalist Drive) petitioned the city for permit parking on their street. The request was to be included in
the parking district with the same parking restrictions (all day, every day) due to the impacts of
commuter vehicle parking and related disturbances including trash left on front yards, vehicles
blocking driveways, and trash bins being moved to enable parking. The original parking district
amendment request included adding Royalist Drive between Springdale Street and Standish Lane,
Plymouth Lane between Royalist Drive and Priscilla Drive, and Willett Lane south of Royalist Drive.
Figure 2 shows the area of the current parking district and the proposed area initially requested to be
added to Permit Parking District P.

Figure 2. Permit Parking District P Amendment Request
As required by Municipal Code Chapter 10.42, staff reviewed the request, determined the petition and
concerns of the residents were valid, and considered the proposed amendment area to be reasonable.
Staff prepared and mailed letters to the affected properties explaining the permit parking district
requirements, boundaries, and included ballots for voting on the permit parking district amendment.
Staff followed up with a letter a few weeks later to remind residents to return their ballot.
Per Municipal Code 10.42 a minimum of 75% of the property units (1 vote per unit) shall be in favor of
the permit parking district amendment to move the request for further consideration. Of the 86
127
4 | P a g e
affected properties, sixty-seven (67) ballots were returned with forty-one (41) votes or 48% voting in
favor of the parking district amendment. Figure 3 summarizes the ballot results and shows the
percentage of support for permit parking by street block.
Figure 3. Permit Parking District P Amendment Request Voting Results
Results of the voting determined that the initial parking district amendment area did not obtain the
required 75% support altogether. However, two street sections, Royalist Drive between Aulnay Lane
and Willett Lane, and Willett Lane south of Royalist Drive both voted greater than 75% in favor.
Discussions with residents along these streets indicated strong interest in permit parking due to the
128
5 | P a g e
daily parking impacts and related disturbances from the commuter vehicle parkers. Based on these
discussions and the voting results, staff reevaluated the proposed amendment boundary area and
determined that it would be reasonable to in vestigate including these two street sections to the
current parking district rather than the initial requested area. Municipal Code 10.42 allows staff
discretion to modify the proposed boundaries of a requested permit parking district area for
consideration. Figure 4 shows the recommended street sections, Royalist Drive between Aulnay Lane
and Willett Lane, and Willett Lane south of Royalist Drive that were considered in the Permit Parking
District P amendment. These two street sections received greater than 75% vote in support of
establishing permit parking.

As required by code staff investigated the parking conditions and related issues on Royalist Drive and
Willett Lane. The code requires that facts exist that reasonably establish that unrestricted parking
creates a situation in which the subject streets cannot be used for regular parking by residents or their
guests, or creates a situation that commuter vehicles or their occupants produce significant sources of
health, safety, or welfare concerns to continue the process for further consideration. Below

Analysis:
Field reviews of the area showed that Royalist Drive between Aulnay Lane and Willett Lane
experiences parking impacts throughout the day, with the most impacted times occurring during the
weekends. Willett Lane did not experience the same degree of parking impacts as Royalist Drive,
however, it appeared to be noticeably affected by commuter vehicle parking south of Royalist Drive.
Overall, Royalist Drive between Springdale Street and Willett Lane were observed as being regularly
impacted by commuter vehicle parking, with the sections between Aulnay Lane and Willett Lane
parked at or near capacity during the peak parking demand times.

Including the parking impacts, where residents noted that the comm uter vehicle parking prevents
them from parking on-street for themselves and their guests, the related disturbances associated with
commuter vehicle parking was the other concern expressed by the residents. Complaints of trash left
on front yards, empty cans and bottles thrown on the street, parking too close to driveways and other
vehicles, and having their trash bins moved to allow space to park caused the residents to initiate the
process to establish permit parking. During the field observations staff noted littering on the street
and front yards in addition to vehicles parking extremely close to the driveways. Photos showing
examples of the on-street parking issues are shown on pages 9 and 10.
Municipal Code 10.42 requires that specific conditions shall exist for a parking district request to move
forward for consideration to the City Manager’s office. These include: unrestricted parking creates a
situation where on-street parking cannot be regularly used by residents and guests; or, unrestricted
parking by commuter vehicles produces significant sources of health, safety, or welfare concerns . After
discussions with the residents and conducting the field evaluations, staff finds that the unrestricted
parking on Royalist Drive between Aulnay Lane and Willette Lane, and Willette Lane south of Royalist
Drive creates a situation where the commuter parking regularly interferes with residents and their
guests parking, and produces significant sources of other concerns. Staff supports amending Permit
Parking District P, adding properties along Royalist Drive between Aulnay Lane and Willette Lane, and
Willette Lane south of Royalist Drive affecting 28 properties.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY:Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Antonia Graham, Assistant to the City Manager
Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2018-50 opposing the Local Rent Control Initiative of 2018 as
recommended by the Intergovernmental Relations Committee (IRC)
Statement of Issue:
On July 25, 2018, the Intergovernmental Relations Committee met and members recommended that
the City take a position on Proposition 10 Local Rent Control Initiative of 2018 which will appear on
the November 2018 ballot.
Financial Impact:
There is no fiscal impact.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2018-50, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Opposing the Local Rent Control Initiative of 2018.”
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt the resolution and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
On July 25, 2018,the Intergovernmental Relations Committee comprised of Mayor Mike Posey,
Mayor Pro Tem Erik Peterson, and Council Member Lyn Semeta,met and discussed pending
legislation and November 2018 ballot measures. The Committee voted unanimously to take an
Oppose position on Proposition 10 in the form of a Council Resolution.
Proposition 10 is an initiated State statute that would repeal the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act
(Costa-Hawkins), thus allowing local governments to adopt rent control ordinances - regulations that
govern how much landlords can charge tenants for renting apartments and houses. Proposition 10
would also state that a local government’s rent control ordinance shall not abridge a fair rate of return
for landlords.
Costa-Hawkins is a State statute that limits the use of rent control in California and provides that

Costa-Hawkins is a State statute that limits the use of rent control in California and provides that
cities cannot enact rent control on: (a) housing first occupied after February 1, 1995; and,(b) housing
units where the title is separate from connected units, such as condominiums and townhouses.
Costa-Hawkins also provides that landlords have a right to increase rent prices to market rates when
a tenant moves out. Prior to the enactment of Costa-Hawkins, local governments were permitted to
enact rent control, provided that landlords would receive just and reasonable returns on their rental
properties.
While the State is in the midst of a housing crisis, Proposition 10 is not a panacea and does little if
anything to solve the State’s housing problem and is a deeply flawed measure that will likely worsen
the problem. Independent academic experts from Stanford and U.C. Berkeley agree that Proposition
10 will reduce construction of affordable and middle-class housing and eliminates protections for
homeowners. Homeowners who rent even a single room in their homes will be subject to permanent
price controls enacted by local governments and unelected rent boards. These changes will reduce
home values for middle-class families at a time when many are counting on their homes to help
finance their retirement. Additionally, Proposition 10 will cause property owners to take rental units
off of the market in favor of vacation listing services like “Air BnB” and “VRBO” which means more
short term rental units in our communities and less affordable housing for renters - further driving up
housing costs.
Proposition 10 is opposed by a myriad of groups throughout the State. Veterans, seniors, teachers,
affordable housing advocates, and the business community all have taken an Oppose position on
Proposition 10.
