(00:10:01) Kathryn Levassiur, resident of Huntington Beach, was called to speak and stated her support for licensing cannabis businesses. (00:12:59) Mayor Pro Tem Semeta called on Deputy Director of Economic Development Kellee Fritzal who presented a PowerPoint communication jointly with Consultant David McPherson, Cannabis Compliance Director with HdL Companies, and Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development, titled: Cannabis/CBD with slides entitled: Study Session Presentation, City Council Strategic Goal, Background(2), Federal Government, Hdl Companies, Distribution, Distribution Fiscal Impact, Manufacturing, Manufacturing Fiscal Impact, Testing Laboratories, Testing Laboratories Fiscal Impact, Retail Sales, Cultivation/Microbusiness - Non Considered, Overview of Fiscal Impact, Potential Land Use Area - 600 Feet Buffer, CBD, HBZSO 204.20, Adult use of Marijuana Act (Prop 64), H&S Code Section 11018.5(a), CA Business & Professions Code 26001(f), Food & Agricultural Code Section 81006, Next Steps and Questions. Staff identified a correction for Slide 21, H&S Code Section 11018.5(a), changing the text "having more than" to "having no more than." Councilmember Carr and Mr. McPherson discussed the “sweet spot” total tax rate is under 30% to be sustainable for manufacturing, distribution, and retail cannabis businesses. There was further discussion of the fact that approximately 75 municipalities state-wide had cannabis measures on the 2018 ballot; and, according to Mr. McPherson, municipalities can tax product deliveries under a retail component, and the focus should be on defining illegal, legal & beyond-your-control situations. Councilmember Brenden stated his opinion that industrial CBD from hemp should be allowed in Huntington Beach because of the low THC level. Councilmember Brenden and Mr. McPherson discussed that typically eight percent (8%) of an adult population uses medical CBD, and the current average is thirteen percent (13%) for medical and adult usage; but the use rate appears to be moving to eighteen (18%) to twenty-two percent (22%) as people explore replacing over-the-counter and prescription drugs. Councilmember Brenden and Mr. McPherson discussed the definitions for retail vs non-storefront operations, including retail operations outside of Huntington Beach delivering within the City. Councilmember Brenden asked that the full HdL report be made available to Council members. Councilmember Hardy shared her concerns about storefront operations, and expressed the need for clear signage codes regarding flags and window advertising for CBD products. 27 Council/PFA Regular Minutes August 19, 2019 Page 3 of 16 Mayor Pro Tem Semeta stated support for Councilmember Brenden's comments regarding industrial hemp CBD, and agreement with Councilmember Hardy's comments regarding signage regulations. Mayor Peterson stated his support of Councilmember Brenden's position on allowing industrial Hemp CBD products. He also expressed a need to have input from the Police and Fire Departments regarding their safety and security concerns, and stated support for the flags and window advertising concerns that Councilmember Hardy expressed. Councilmember Brenden asked staff to look into the largest area retailer and determine how much product they are delivering in Huntington Beach to have more accurate numbers for potential income projections. Councilmember Brenden asked for more discussion and information on the Next Steps as well as looking at the positive and negative experiences of other municipalities. Deputy Director Fritzal explained that staff is keeping track of cannabis sales tax measures across the state, and stated that there is currently a Cannabis Committee that includes the Police Chief, Fire Chief, a Fire Marshall, Planning staff, and City Manager representative all working with the consultant, HdL Companies. Mayor Pro Tem Semeta stated that currently she is not interested in supporting storefront CBD retail sales, and explained that in her opinion it is important to ensure that CBD operations do not harm existing Huntington Beach businesses, such as increasing commercial rental space rates. Councilmember Carr requested a deeper dive into all aspects of CBD businesses, including retail, and the pros and cons of creating a "Green Zone" which may potentially limit an increase on commercial space citywide, but she has no interest in cultivation. Mayor Peterson summarized that there are so many questions to answer on this topic that he expects it will require multiple study sessions to cover everything, but he would place a priority on sales tax for CBD products. A motion by Brenden, second by Semeta to recess to Closed Session for Items 3 – 9. With no objections, the motion passed.

Arazian, a resident of Huntington Beach, was called to speak and stated her opposition to the Appeal of the Planning Commission Denial of Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 and Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 (Ellis Ave. Condos) based on her opinion that approval would create dangerous traffic conditions for anyone using Beach Boulevard and/or Ellis Avenue.

Mr. Farnsworth further stated concerns about the number of units planned for the small parcel, mixed use classification, building a 4-story unit adjacent to a residential neighborhood which could negatively impact skyline views and create shadows that may negatively impact solar panel options, and negatively impact safety because of increased traffic congestion. (03:08:27) Ken Stahl, representing People for Housing Orange County, was called to speak and described some Housing Accountability Act (HAA) requirements for housing projects, stated that this project complies, and provided support for the Appeal.

She voiced her support of the Planning Commission Denial for the Ellis Avenue Condos, stating her opinion that there is already a traffic problem on Ellis Avenue with no plans to address the current situation, and another apartment complex will not improve the quality of life for Huntington Beach residents, nor will it fix the traffic problem. (03:18:55) Jesus Rodriguez, a resident of Huntington Beach on La Palma Drive near the intersection of Ellis Avenue and Beach Boulevard, was called to speak and in opposing the Appeal to the Planning Commission Denial for the Ellis Avenue Condos, described how the parking issues in the City of Santa Ana resulted in his move to Huntington Beach, and shared his concerns and opinions about the negative effect this proposed project will have on the quality of life for his neighborhood.

Financial Impact: As stated in the attached resolutions, the City must certify that it has, or will have available, prior to commencement of any work on the proposed projects, sufficient funds to complete the project. Per the adopted FY 2019/20 budget, the projected Park Development Impact Fee Fund 228 fund balance at June 30, 2020, is approximately $10 million. These funds are sufficient to cover the 10% match requirement of $508,095 for all three park development projects. Should the City be awarded the Prop 68 grants, another Request for Council Action (RCA) to accept the grant award and appropriate the funds will be submitted for City Council approval. Recommended Action: A) Adopt Resolution 2019-59, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Approving the Application for Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program Funds (Carr Park Renovation)” for improvements at Carr Park; and, B) Adopt Resolution 2019-60, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Approving the Application for Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program Funds (Drew Park Renovation)” for renovations at Drew Park; and, City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™53 File #:19-887 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 C) Adopt Resolution 2019-61, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Approving the Application for Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program Funds (Schroeder Park Renovation)” for renovations at Schroeder Park. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended actions and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: In June of 2018, the State passed the Parks and Water Bond Act of 2018. (Proposition 68). The Bond includes per capita and competitive grant opportunities for municipalities, park districts and non -profit agencies. Under the competitive category, Proposition 68 included the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program Grant Funds. (SPP) The City has applied for three projects under the program. Park renovations at Carr, Drew and Schroeder Parks were submitted since those three parks met the eligibility requirements of SPP, in terms of a lack of open space in the surrounding communities. The three park sites are also listed in the current Parks and Recreation Master Plan and City Council approved Playground Equipment Replacement Priority List for needed renovations. As part of the grant application process, each project requires separate Authorizing Resolutions to be adopted by City Council. The State requires that specific language be included in the resolutions. Staff has worked through the City Attorney’s Office to review and prepare each resolution (attached). Cost estimates for each project are shown below. If awarded the grants the City would be required to fund a 10% match of the total project cost from Park Development Impact Fee Funds for each project . Project Total Cost Estimate 10% Park Development Impact Fee Fund 228 Amounts Carr Park $ 2,942,500 $ 294,250 Drew Park $ 1,156,550 $ 115,655 Schroeder Park $ 981,900 $ 98,190 TOTAL $ 5,080,950 $ 508,095 Should the City be awarded the grants, a separate action will be taken to City Council to accept the grant award and appropriate the funds.

The City utilizes consulting professional services contracts for system development, project management, and staff augmentation to implement this citywide system. The project is 95% complete and the project team is in the final stages of development and system testing for the implementation. In order to complete the implementation, the City Council is being asked to approve a professional services contract with IK Consulting in the amount of $180,000,and Amendment No. 2 to the professional services agreement with Go-Live Technology to authorize an increase of $135,000. Financial Impact: Funding is included in the FY 2019/20 budget. Recommended Action: A) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute “Professional Services Contract Between the City of Huntington Beach and IK Consulting for Project Management and Implementation Services” and, approve and authorize an increase in the Information Services Professional Services listing authority by $180,000; and, B) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute "Amendment No. 2 to Professional Services Agreement between the City of Huntington Beach and Go-Live Technology, Inc. for As- City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™72 File #:19-926 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 Needed Informational Technology Project Management Service” and, approve and authorize an increase in the Information Services Professional Services listing authority by $135,000. Alternative Action(s): Deny amendment and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: In 2016, the City embarked on replacing four (4) key business systems (Utility Billing, Cashiering, Document Imaging, and Land Management) that are tightly integrated and essential to the City’s operation and financial stability. Implementation of the Utility Billing, Enterprise Cashiering, and Document Imaging systems was completed in October 2018, and the City continues to work with Accela Inc., Go-Live Technology Inc., and IK Consulting on the final stage of the Enterprise Land Management (ELM) system. The City entered into an agreement with Accela Inc. in 2016 for the purchase and implementation of an Enterprise Land Management (ELM) system that will replace several disparate databases utilized by Building, Planning, Code Enforcement, Business License, Urban Runoff, Engineering, and Fire Inspections. The new system will not only replace existing disparate systems, it will also integrate and modernize business processes to a standardized way of handling land management activities, while also providing greater features and online functionality to enhance customer service. To provide better customer service, implement efficiencies, and enhance user experience, several complex requirements were identified during the discovery and configuration that had to be developed by vendors. Moving from decentralized land management business practices and several disparate databases to a single, fully integrated enterprise system required complex functionality and multiple features, as well as changes to existing business processes. Although the functional requirements for the project were developed and amended to the contract, numerous modifications were needed in order to meet the needs of the City. Additionally, of the 30 staff leads assigned to this project, 13 of these members have either left the City or were reassigned requiring retraining and knowledge transfer to new staff members throughout the project. A combination of staffing changes, scheduling challenges, configuration and product development time have resulted in gradual progress but an extension to the overall project timeline to February 2020. Extending the project timeline will allow for staff to properly test all outstanding items required for cutover and a successful go-live. In the meantime, the City is in the process of negotiating financial concessions from Accela Inc. to address the impact of the delays on the project and ensure project success. The attached amendment with Go-Live Technology, Inc. and the contract with IK Consulting will assist in the completion of all outstanding items and successful cutover from the existing system to the new system.

Resolution No. 2019-52 modifies the Non- Associated Salary Schedule to establish the classification and set the compensation of the Assistant Director of Library Services position. Financial Impact: Funding for the Assistant Director of Library Services is included in the FY 2019-20 budget.

Recommended Action: A) Approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4186, “An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Amending the Huntington Beach Municipal Code by Amending Section 2.76.010 Thereof Related to Exclusions From Competitive Service” by adding the Assistant Director of Library Services; and, B) Adopt Resolution No. 2019-52, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Modifying Salary and Benefits for Non-Represented Employees By Adding the Assistant Director of City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™194 File #:19-797 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 Library Services Classification and Establishing the Compensation;” and, C) Delegate Authority to the City Manager/Interim City Manager to execute Employment Agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney for the Assistant Director of Library Services following the recruitment process; and, D) De-fund and remove the Principal Librarian position from the Table of Organization and fund and add the Assistant Director of Library Services. Alternative Action(s): Reject the proposed Ordinance and Resolution and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: This action provides the foundation for succession planning and strategic department and divisional re-alignment in anticipation of improved departmental operations overall. It is recommended that a “second in command,” at-will position be established to improve departmental operational efficiency and to establish a ladder for succession planning. Reporting directly to the Director of Library Services, the Assistant Director of Library Services will exercise extensive authority in directing and coordinating a broad range of Library Department operational functions through subordinate staff, division managers and operations supervisors. The Assistant Director of Library Services Assists the Director of Library Services in managing and directing the activities and operations of the Library Department, including operations at the Central Library, Banning, Main, Helen Murphy and Oak View branches; plans, organizes and directs the activities of the literacy programs, children and teens programs, HBPL facilities rentals, Veterans Resource Center; develops and implements work plans, assigns work activities, and assists in developing and implementing Library department goals, objectives, processes and procedures The Assistant Director of Library Services is an “at-will” position that will be appointed as an employment contract arrangement and is included as part of the group of classifications designated as Non-Represented/Non-Associated. It would be filled in lieu of filling a Principal Librarian position, and the latter position would become unfunded and removed from the Table of Organization. The Assistant Director of Library Services classification is not included as part of the competitive service. The annual compensation range for Assistant Director of Library Services is $101,587 - $125,840. The recruitment and selection process will be open and competitive.

Non-Associated employees hired after November 20, 1978 shall be entitled to the following sick leave payoff plan: Upon termination, all employees shall be paid, at their then current salary rate, for twenty-five percent (25%) of unused, earned sick leave to 480 hours accrued, and for thirty-five percent (35%) of all unused, earned sick leave in excess of 480 hours, but not to exceed 720 hours, except as provided in paragraph V.C.2.c below. c. Except as provided in paragraph V.C.5.d below, no Non-Associated employee shall be paid at termination for more than 720 hours of unused, accumulated sick lave. However, employees may utilize accumulated sick leave on the basis of “last in, first out,” meaning that sick leave accumulated in excess of the maximum for payoff may be utilized first for sick leave, as defined in Personnel Rule 18-8. d. Non-Associated employees who had unused, accumulated sick leave in excess of 720 hours as of July 5, 1980, shall be compensated for such excess sick leave remaining on termination under the formulas described in paragraphs V.C.5.a and b above. In no event shall any employee be compensated upon termination for any accumulated sick leave in excess of the “cap” established by this paragraph (i.e., 720 hours plus the amount over 720 hours existing on July 5, 1980). Employees may continue to utilize sick leave accrued after that date in excess of such “cap” on a “last in, first out” basis. To the extent that any such “capped” amount of excess sick leave over 720 hours is utilized, the maximum compensable amount shall be correspondingly reduced. (Example: Employee had 1,000 hours accumulated. Six 214 NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES PAY AND BENEFITS RESOLUTION Exhibit “A” to Non-Associated Resolution No. 2016-50 14 months after July 5, 1980, employee had accumulated another 48 hours. Employee is then sick for 120 hours. Employee’s maximum sick leave “cap” for compensation at termination is now reduced by 72 hours to 928.) D. Bereavement Leave Employees shall be entitled to bereavement leave not to exceed twenty-four (24) hours in each instance of death in the immediate family. Immediate family is defined as father, mother, sister, brother, spouse, children, grandfather, grandmother, stepfather, stepmother, step grandfather, step grandmother, grandchildren, stepsisters, stepbrothers, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepchildren, or wards of which the employee is the legal guardian. E. Voluntary Catastrophic Leave Donation Program Under certain conditions, an employee may donate leave time to another employee in need. The program is outlined in Exhibit 4. SECTION VI – RETIREE SUBSIDY MEDICAL PLAN An employee who has retired from the City shall be entitled to participate in the City-sponsored medical insurance plans in accordance with the Retiree Subsidy Medical Plan as outlined in Exhibit 2. Employees hired on or after December 1, 2009, shall not be eligible for this benefit. SECTION VII – MISCELLANEOUS A. Collection of Payroll Overpayments In the event that a payroll overpayment is discovered and verified, and considering all reasonable factors including the length of time that the overpayment was made and if and when the employee could have reasonably known about such overpayment, the City shall take action to collect from the employee the amount of overpayment(s). Such collection shall be processed by payroll deduction over a reasonable period of time considering the total amount of overpayment. In the event the employee separates from employment during the collection period, the final amount shall be deducted from the last payroll check of the employee. If applicable, the balance due from the employee shall be communicated upon employment separation if the last payroll check does not sufficiently cover the amount due the City. It shall be the responsibility of the employee and the City to periodically monitor the accuracy of compensation payments or reimbursements due to the possibility of a clerical oversight or error. The City reserves the right to also collect compensation overpayments caused by or the result of misinterpretation of a pay provision by non-authorized personnel. The interpretation of all pay provisions shall be administered by the City Manager or designee and as adopted by the City Council. Unauthorized compensation payments shall not constitute a past practice (1/03/05). 215 NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES PAY AND BENEFITS RESOLUTION Exhibit “A” to Non-Associated Resolution No. 2016-50 15 B.

At the time of retirement the employee has a minimum of ten (10) years of continuous full time City service or is granted an industrial disability retirement; and B. At the time of retirement, the employee is employed by the City; and C. Following official separation from the City, the employee is granted a retirement allowance by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System. The City’s obligation to pay the monthly premium as indicated shall be modified downward or cease during the lifetime of the retiree upon the occurrence of any one of the following: 1. On the first of the month in which a retiree or dependent reaches age 65 or on the date the retiree or dependent can first apply and become eligible, automatically or voluntarily, for medical coverage under Medicare (whether or not such application is made) the City’s obligation to pay monthly premiums may be adjusted downward or eliminated. Benefit coverage at age 65 under the City’s medical plans shall be governed by applicable plan document. 2. In the event of the death of any employee, whether retired or not, the amount of the retiree medical insurance subsidy benefit which the deceased employee was receiving at the time of his/her death would be eligible to receive if he/she were retired at the time of death, shall be paid on behalf of the spouse or family for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months. D. Schedule of Benefits 1. Minimum Eligibility for Benefits With the exception of an industrial disability retirement, eligibility for benefits begins after an employee has completed ten (10) years of continuous full time service with the City of Huntington Beach. Said service must be continuous unless prior service is reinstated at the time of his/her rehire in accordance with the City’s Personnel Rules.

Marital Status – Married retirees eligible for benefits under the Retiree Medical Subsidy Plan may each receive the benefit earned pursuant to Section 4 – Maximum Monthly Subsidy Payments, whether enrolled individually as the plan enrollee or whether enrolled as a dependent on any City-sponsored medical plan. a. In the case where a retiree is married to a City employee (active or retired) who is not an unrepresented/non-associated employee or retiree, this provision shall remain applicable. b. This provision shall apply to State of California registered domestic partners the same as married spouses. 4. Maximum Monthly Subsidy Payments Payment amounts may be reduced each month as dependent eligibility ceases due to death, divorce or loss of dependent child status. However, the amount shall not be reduced if such reduction would cause insufficient funds needed to pay the full premium for the employee and the remaining dependents. In the event no reduction occurs and the remaining benefit premium is not sufficient to pay the premium amount for the employee and the eligible dependents, said needed excess premium amount shall be paid by the employee. All retirees, including those retired as a result of disability whose number of years of service prior to retirement, exceeds ten (10) years of continuous full time service, shall be entitled to maximum monthly payment of premiums by the City for each year of completed City service as follows: Maximum Monthly Payment for Retirements After: Years of Service Subsidy 10 $121 11 136 12 151 13 166 14 181 15 196 16 211 17 226 18 241 19 256 20 271 21 286 22 300 23 315 24 330 25 344 219 NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES PAY AND BENEFITS RESOLUTION Exhibit “A” to Non-Associated Resolution No. 2016-50 19 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS A.

C. A/B Schedules To continue to provide service to the public every Friday, employees are to be divided between two schedules, known as the “A” schedule and the “B” schedule, based upon the departmental needs. For identification purposes, the “A” schedule shall be known as the schedule with a day off on the Friday in the middle of the pay period, or, “off on payday”, the “B” schedule shall have the first Friday (p.m.) and the last Friday (a.m.) off, or “working on payday”. An example is listed below: AM PM AM PM AM PM F F S S M T W Th F F S S M T W Th F F A Schedule 4 4 - - 9 9 9 9 - - - - 9 9 9 9 4 4 B Schedule - - - - 9 9 9 9 4 4 - - 9 9 9 9 - - 222 NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES PAY AND BENEFITS RESOLUTION Exhibit “A” to Non-Associated Resolution No. 2016-50 22 D.

Purpose The purpose of the voluntary catastrophic leave donation program is to bridge employees who have been approved leave time to either return to work, long-term disability, or medical retirement. Permanent employees who accrue vacation, general leave or compensatory time may donate such leave to another permanent employee when a catastrophic illness or injury befalls that employee or because the employee is needed to care for a seriously ill family member. The leave-sharing Leave Donation Program is Citywide across all departments and is intended to provide an additional benefit. Nothing in this program is intended to change current policy and practice for use and/or accrual of vacation, general, or sick leave. 2. Definitions Catastrophic Illness or Injury - A serious debilitating illness or injury, which incapacitates the employee or an employee's family member. Family Member - For the purposes of this policy, the definition of family member is that defined in the Family Medical Leave Act (child, parent, spouse or domestic partner). 3. Eligible Leave Accrued compensatory, vacation or general leave hours may be donated. The minimum donation an employee may make is two (2) hours and the maximum is forty (40) hours. 4. Eligibility Permanent employees who accrue vacation or general leave may donate such hours to eligible recipients. Compensatory time accrued may also be donated. An eligible recipient is an employee who:  Accrues vacation or general leave;  Is not receiving disability benefits or Workers' Compensation payments; and  Requests donated leave. 5. Transfer of Leave The maximum donation credited to a recipient's leave account shall be the amount necessary to ensure continuation of the employee's regular salary during the employee's period of approved catastrophic leave. Donations will be voluntary, confidential and irrevocable. Hours donated will be converted into a dollar amount based on the hourly wage of the donor. The dollar amount will then be converted into accrued hours based on the recipient’s hourly wage. An employee needing leave will complete a Leave Donation Request Form and submit it to the Department Director for approval. The Department Director will forward the form to Human Resources for processing. Human Resources, working with the department, will send out the request for leave donations. Employees wanting to make donations will submit a Leave Donation Form to the Finance Department (payroll). 224 NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES PAY AND BENEFITS RESOLUTION Exhibit “A” to Non-Associated Resolution No. 2016-50 24 All donation forms submitted to payroll will be date stamped and used in order received for each bi-weekly pay period. Multiple donations will be rotated in order to insure even use of time from donors. Any donation form submitted that is not needed will be returned to the donor. 6. Other Please contact the Human Resources Department with questions regarding employee participation in this program. 225 NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES PAY AND BENEFITS RESOLUTION Exhibit “A” to Non-Associated Resolution No. 2016-50 25 Please submit this form to the Human Resources Office for processing.

Financial Impact: This position is a budget exchange for an existing funded vacancy in Park Funds 228 and 226. Sufficient funding for the proposed job classification is included in the FY 2019/20 budget. This classification amendment does not add to the approved department table of organization. No additional budget appropriation is required. Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2019-63, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Amending the City’s Classification Plan by Adding the Classification of Parks Development Facilities Project Coordinator” and establishing the compensation.

At its August 21, 2019, meeting, the Personnel Commission finalized the approval of a new job classification titled Parks Development Facilities Project Coordinator. The Parks Development/Facilities Project Coordinator classification will ensure effective and efficient coordination and oversight of park development and facilities projects.

However, neither of these classifications alone provides the required expertise to perform the full range of job duties necessary to fulfill the department’s operational goals and objectives. The department’s staffing total will not increase by the creation of this classification and full funding for the position is budgeted in the FY 2019-20 budget. The classification is represented by the Management Employees’ Organization (MEO). The Personnel Commission approved the recommended pay range of $39.61 - $49.07 per hour.

The Parks Development/Facilities Project Coordinator classification will ensure effective and efficient coordination and oversight of park development and facilities projects. In some respects, this classification is a hybrid between the existing job classifications of Associate Planner and Project Manager Assistant. However, neither of these classifications alone provides the required expertise to perform the full range of job duties necessary to fulfill the department’s operational goals and objectives. The classification will be FLSA exempt – Learned Professional and will be represented by the Management Employees Organization (MEO) bargaining unit. The department’s staffing total will not increase by the creation of this classification and full funding for the position is budgeted in the FY 2019-20 budget. The pay range recommendation presented is based upon internal and external classification comparisons. The recommended compensation was determined in accordance with Personnel Rule 12-1 Assigning Positions to Appropriate Ranges and Pay Plans. Market data for similar external classifications and comparison to internal classifications with comparable minimum qualifications, knowledge, skills, training, experience, breadth and scope of work were factors considered in establishing the pay range. The City and MEO have met and conferred regarding the creation of this new classification and its inclusion into the City’s classification plan at the recommended compensation level. Staff requests the Personnel Commission approve the recommendation in accordance with Personnel Rule 12 regarding amendments to the City’s Classification Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Proposed Job Class Title: Parks Development/ Facilities Project Coordinator Proposed Pay Range: $39.61 $41.78 $44.08 $46.51 $49.07 Recommendation: Amend the City’s Classification Plan by approving the proposed Parks Development/Facilities Project Coordinator job classification and establishing the compensation Attachment: Parks Development/ Facilities Project Coordinator Job Classification Specification Cc: Marie Knight, Director of Community Services Debra Jubinsky, MEO President Aaron Peardon, OCEA Business Representative 249 City of Huntington Beach File #:19-911 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION SUBMITTED TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY:Dave Kiff, Interim City Manager PREPARED BY:Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development Subject: Approve Zoning Map Amendment No. 2018-001 by adopting Ordinance 4184, and Zoning Text Amendment No. 2018-002 by adopting Ordinance 4183 (Gothard Property & Research and Technology Zoning) - Approved for introduction 8/19/2019, Vote: 5-1-1 (Peterson-No; Delgleize absent) Statement of Issue: Transmitted for City Council consideration are requests to 1) amend the General Plan land use designation at the former County landfill on Gothard; 2) amend the Zoning Map in two industrial areas; and 3) establish a new Research and Technology zoning district.

Analysis: A.PROJECT PROPOSAL: Applicant: City of Huntington Beach Property Owner: County of Orange and Multiple Various Property Owners Location:GPA: Subject parcel (APN 111-071-37) is located on the west side of Gothard Street at Prodan Drive. ZMA/ZTA: Existing industrial areas along the Gothard Street corridor (from south of Edinger Avenue to Ellis Avenue), and within the northwest industrial areas, generally bordered by Bolsa Avenue, Springdale Street, Edinger Avenue, and Bolsa Chica Street. The following requests comprise the proposed project: General Plan Amendment (GPA) 19-001: To amend the land use designation of a County of Orange City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 2 of 9 powered by Legistar™251 File #:19-911 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 owned, 2.26-acre vacant parcel (Attachment No. 2): ·from current Open Space - Park (OS-P) ·to Research and Technology (RT) Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA) 18-001: To amend the Zoning Map designation in two existing areas (Attachment No. 3): ·from Industrial General (IG), Industrial Limited (IL), or Commercial General (CG) ·to Research and Technology (RT); and Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) 18-002: To amend the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) to establish land use zoning and development standards for the new Research and Technology (RT) zoning district (Attachment No. 5). The proposed amendments are summarized as follows: Chapter 204 Use Classifications ·Establish two new Use Classifications: o RT Flex o Alcoholic Beverage Manufacturing Chapter 212 Industrial Districts ·Increase allowable by-right office space from 10% to 30% ·Establish Alcoholic Beverage Manufacturing requirements ·Update automobile storage provisions ·Permit RT Flex uses by-right ·Performance Standards to minimize impacts to adjacent and surrounding uses ·Additional minor code revisions and corrections to facilitate recommended RT standards Chapter 231 Off-Street Parking and Loading ·Identify new office and flex parking ratios consistent with Chapter 212 amendments The proposed legislative drafts of HBZSO Chapters 204 Use Classifications, 212 Industrial Districts, and 231 Off-Street Parking and Loading as modified by the Planning Commission are included as Exhibits A, B, and C of Attachment No. 5. B.BACKGROUND: The 2017 comprehensive update of the General Plan included a Land Use Element that introduced a new Research and Technology land use designation. The RT land use designation allows a maximum Floor Area Ratio of 1.0 and intends to permit a wide variety of nonresidential mixed-use development in existing industrial areas along the Gothard Street corridor (from south of Edinger Avenue to Ellis Avenue) and within the northwest industrial areas (bordered by Bolsa Avenue, Springdale Street, Edinger Avenue, and Bolsa Chica Street). The proposed project requests will result in a change in the land use designation upon a single parcel on the General Plan Land Use Map, the amendment of the corresponding Zoning Map to reflect all new RT land use designations, and the establishment of land use controls and development standards for the RT zoning City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 3 of 9 powered by Legistar™252 File #:19-911 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 use designations, and the establishment of land use controls and development standards for the RT zoning district in the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) in order to implement the RT land use designation as prescribed by the General Plan Land Use Element. The General Plan Amendment request was added during the background analysis portion of the project, when staff was contacted by the County of Orange regarding a potential future use on their property located on the west side of Gothard at Prodan. The subject parcel is an interior 2.6-acre portion of a site that comprises a portion of a former County landfill property. The remainder of the landfill site, a 9.42-acre parcel fronting Gothard Street, was amended to RT as part of the 2017 comprehensive General Plan update. However, the subject 2.6-acre portion of the site was inadvertently left out of the update and the General Plan Amendment will correct this omission. The subject parcel is also owned by the County, and is immediately west of the 9.42-acre vacant parcel (APN 111-071-35) currently designated RT. Both properties are owned by the County, and function together as one vacant site. This action will bring the entire site under the RT designation for future use, and the new RT development standards to be established will subsequently apply to the entire 11.68-acre site. Subsequently, the General Plan Amendment request was included in the project description, analyzed for consistency with CEQA, and is included in staff and the Planning Commission’s recommendation to the City Council. To inform development of the RT Zone regulations, community engagement efforts included a variety of events and methods. In July 2018, staff and the City’s consultant, RRM Design Group, presented the undertaking to the City’s quarterly Brokers Briefing meeting and conducted two days of stakeholder meetings with businesses, landowners, City departments, community members, brokers, and other interested parties. Valuable feedback was provided from a local market perspective as well as community and code user viewpoints. Key themes included: streamlining processes and permitting, updating and allowing flexible uses, providing compatibility/performance standards, right- sizing parking regulations, and being forward-looking to accommodate advancing technologies and trends. In addition, project announcements were mailed to owners of all parcels in the RT study area in August 2018 advising of the City’s intent and invitation to participate. Regular updates and a frequently asked questions (FAQs) sheet were provided on the City’s website. While community engagement tasks were completed, RRM Design Group prepared two reports, a Market Analysis (Attachment No. 8) and Technical Background Analysis (Attachment No. 9) to enrich the data serving the project outcomes. The Market Analysis described potential market growth and development potentials for the industrial areas to be designated RT, as well as provided insight into development standard issues that might affect the economic feasibility of future development in the RT district. The Technical Analysis Report includes discussion of the existing regulatory setting, and a comparison of examples of RT or related land use zoning standards for relevant zoning examples. Further, the Technical Analysis Report summarized the key findings from the project’s community outreach and stakeholder interview process that was used to build a collaborative interest and consensus for the proposed zoning standards. C.PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS AND RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission held two study sessions on May 28 and June 11 prior to the public hearing for the proposed project on July 9, 2019. July 9, 2019 Public Hearing At the public hearing, there were no public speakers on the project. Commission discussion focused on clarification of land uses and proposed requirements for vehicle storage uses within the future RT City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 4 of 9 powered by Legistar™253 File #:19-911 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 on clarification of land uses and proposed requirements for vehicle storage uses within the future RT district. At the public hearing, the Commission made the following modifications: 1. ZMA 18-001: Modify the exhibit of the Zoning Map to change the proposed designation of a single parcel from IG (Industrial General) to RT (Research and Technology). The subject parcel is the site of the Seabreeze Community Church located at the northeast corner of Gothard Street at Prodan Drive. This action corrects an error in the exhibit and does not affect the existing land use. 2. ZTA 18-002: Modify staff’s proposed standards for vehicle storage uses in Industrial Districts: a. Remove the proposed permitted by right status of vehicle storage uses on public agency owned properties; b. Require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Zoning Administrator for vehicle storage uses on both public and private properties in the RT district; c. Add requirement for a CUP to the Planning Commission for any vehicle storage use on RT zoned properties within 300 feet of a residential district; and d. Minor language clean up in Additional Provision (N) Performance Standards Planning Commission Action dated July 9, 2019 A motion was made by Scandura, seconded by Kalmick to recommend approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2019-001, Zoning Map Amendment No. 2018-001, and Zoning Text Amendment No. 18-002 with modifications and forward to City Council by the following vote: AYES: Scandura, Mandic, Kalmick, Grant, Perkins NOES: None ABSTAIN: Garcia ABSENT: Ray MOTION PASSED July 23, 2019 Planning Commissioner Agenda Item The Planning Commission requested that staff agendize three companion topics related to but not part of the Research and Technology project. The three companion topics pertain to the City’s Urban Design Guidelines, Wi-Fi, Broadband, and Fiber Optic Infrastructure, and Pedestrian Sidewalks in the RT districts. Descriptions of these topics are included in the July 9, 2019 Planning Commission staff report (Attachment 6). At the July 23, 2019 meeting, the Planning Commission formally voted to request that City Council consider the following City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 5 of 9 powered by Legistar™254 File #:19-911 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 along with the ZMA and ZTA establishing the RT zoning district: A.Recommend the City Council direct staff to update the City’s Urban Design Guidelines To support the implementation of the RT Zoning Amendment project and the goals and policies of the General Plan Land Use Element, the City Council may direct staff to update the City’s Industrial design guidelines for the RT zone. If the City Council has interest in this effort, staff recommends that the Council direct staff to return with a defined scope of work and estimate how many staff hours it will take to implement this effort with a projected timeline to complete the work based on current and projected workloads. Also, direct staff to solicit informal estimates to see how much it would be to contract out this work with a projected timeline for completion. B.Recommend that the City Council create a Broadband and Wireless Ad-Hoc Committee The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council consider creating an ad-hoc committee focused on reviewing existing policy and creating new goals for broadband technology and transportation improvements in the RT zone as a pilot project area. A whitepaper written by Commissioner Kalmick is attached for reference (Attachment 8). Staff has an alternative recommendation since a city-wide Broadband Master Plan is currently under development by means of the City Council’s Strategic Plan. An internal working group has been identified to develop recommendations to present to the City Council later this year. Staff recommends that the City Council wait to hear the recommendations prior to considering creating an ad-hoc committee specific to the RT Zone as similar or compatible ideas may be included as part of that effort. C. Recommend that the City Council direct staff to study the efficacy of sidewalk improvements in all Industrial districts. In recognition of the need for safe pedestrian mobility options, enhancing the existing streetscapes, and increasing the connectivity of existing and future development, the Planning Commission recommends City Council direct staff to consider the feasibility of placing sidewalks in all Industrial Districts. The feasibility study would include an analysis and report on the following options: 1. Direct staff to initiate a program to require public easement dedications on properties located in RT districts pursuant to HBZSO 230.84. This program would require improvements during permitted construction phases. 2. Direct staff to initiate a program to require dedication of public easement space only, without requiring improvements where curb, gutter, and sidewalk installations are completed a later date. 3. Direct staff to develop a voluntary sidewalk improvement program where property owners may improve their yards with sidewalk spaces built to their own standards, not subject to a public easement dedication. New sidewalks would require coordinated review by Public Works and Building to evaluate grading, flat work, tie-ins to curb cuts and driveways, and ADA standards. In this scenario, private property owners that make such improvements would assume legal liability for such sidewalks and may consider forming building owner associations to mitigate said liabilities. 4. Direct staff to begin eminent domain proceedings to acquire property and construct City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 6 of 9 powered by Legistar™255 File #:19-911 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 sidewalks throughout the RT zone. If the City Council has interest in this effort, staff recommends that the Council direct staff to return with preliminary analysis to determine the minimum amount of right-of-way that would be necessary to implement sidewalks in the RT Zone. After such determination , see if application of such dedication results in any sub-standard lots or effectively eliminates an owner’s ability to develop their lot with imposition of development standards. D. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: The staff report for the July 9, 2019,Planning Commission public hearing contains a detailed description of the proposed project, including itemized modifications to the HBZSO under ZTA No. 18 -002 (Attachment No. 7). Auto Storage Uses on Public Agency Owned Property As discussed in Section C. Planning Commission Meetings and Recommendation above, the Planning Commission modified staff’s recommendation regarding auto storage uses on public agency owned property. Staff worked directly with the County of Orange to accommodate a future use on their property within the RT zoning district and recommended that auto storage uses on public agency owned properties be permitted by right. The Planning Commission recommends that such auto storage uses be permitted by a conditional use permit on both public and private property. Attachment 6 is a redline version of the section of the legislative draft that illustrates the differences between staff’s recommendation (Attachment No. 5) and the Planning Commission’s recommendation.Staff continues to recommend that auto storage uses on public agency owned properties be permitted by-right in the RT district. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2019-50 and approve General Plan Amendment No. 19-001, Ordinance No. 4184 approving Zoning Map Amendment No. 18-001, and Ordinance No. 4183 approving Zoning Text Amendment No. 18-002 with modifications and findings in that the project: §Implements multiple goals and policies of the General Plan Land Use Element §Establishes land use controls and development standards for the Research and Technology zoning district that provide for new flexible requirements that will attract and retain new businesses and support the future needs of existing businesses §Cleans up Chapter 212 Industrial Districts to reflect current market needs for new uses and development, and improve clarity by addressing minor inconsistencies §Codifies existing policies and code interpretations and allows select entitlement requests to be reviewed by a more appropriate hearing body or to be permitted by right in the new RT district. Environmental Status: The City Council adopted Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 14-001 for the General Plan Update in 2017, which included implementation of a new Research and Technology General Plan land use designation. The General Plan Program EIR projected growth and 2040 buildout City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 7 of 9 powered by Legistar™256 File #:19-911 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 Plan land use designation. The General Plan Program EIR projected growth and 2040 buildout numbers for non-residential development, including 463 acres of the RT land use designation. Thus, the General Plan EIR provides the environmental setting and analysis to serve as the first-tier California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document for the proposed project. Although the establishment of RT zoning land use controls and development standards through ZTA 18-002 will result in some changes or additions to the General Plan EIR, there will not be a change in the buildout characteristics that results in new significant impacts or an increase in the severity of a previously identified impact in the General Plan EIR. As analyzed in the draft Addendum to the General Plan Program EIR, the proposed GPA, ZTA, and ZMA will not result in an action that requires further evaluation pursuant to CEQA, and neither the Planning Commission nor the City Council will need to take action on the Addendum. Within the Industrial Districts (IG, IL, and RT), all future discretionary projects are subject to CEQA and may have potential project or site specific impacts that would require environmental review. Future review and analysis will be determined on a case-by-case basis. It should be noted that the GPA would affect a single parcel that is part of a former landfill that was closed in 1962. While the two parcels that make up the landfill site are located within the City of Huntington Beach, the property is owned by the County of Orange and managed by Orange County Waste & Recycling (OCWR). The property is subject to ongoing regulatory requirements including routine inspections, sampling events, reporting and maintenance associated with groundwater, surface water, and other environmental monitoring processes. OCWR has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) to allow for the removal of coastal sage scrub that currently grows on the property in an effort to permit a future land use on the property. The City is not the lead agency for the MND but is coordinating with OCWR and the County regarding the coastal sage scrub removal efforts and mitigation.

Zoning Map Amendment No. 18-001 to amend the Huntington Beach Zoning Map designation of properties in two existing industrial areas from Industrial General (IG), Industrial Limited (IL), or Commercial General (CG) to Research and Technology (RT) is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs sp ecified in the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. The goals and policies of the General Plan Land Use Element state that the City will accommodate future uses such as technology manufacturing and technology services within the Northwest Indust rial Subarea and Gothard Street Subarea. This amendment will change the existing Zoning Map land use designations of properties located in the Northwest Industrial and Gothard Street subareas to Research and Technology (RT) to provide such accommodation in conjunction with Zoning Text Amendment No. 18 -002. 2. In the case of a general land use provision, Zoning Map Amendment No. 1 8-001 is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the zoning district for which it is proposed. This amendment changes the existing Zoning Map land use designation in two existing industrial areas to be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designation of Research and Technology (RT). The subject amendment is also consistent with the new zoning provisions for RT designated properties. 3. A community need is demonstrated for the proposed amendment in that the amendment will ensure that the city provides for new nonresidential mixed-use development within the General Plan’s Northwest Industrial and Gothard Street subareas. A changing employment demand has created a need for a variety of nonresidential mixed -use development in industrial areas to encourage both employment uses and commercial uses that accommodate employees while continuing to allow traditional industrial uses. Promoting targeted development and expansion of commercial uses create an environment that meets resident and employee needs and increases the capture of sales tax revenues. The RT zoning designation will bring the Zoning Map into conformance with the General Plan Land Use Map, enabling future development to take place in the new district . 4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. The proposed amendment will implement the RT zoning designation on properties currently designated RT by the General Plan Land Use Map, which is required for all future development and business activity. The amendment, in conjunction with new land use controls and development sta ndards set forth in Zoning Text Amendment No. 2018-002, fulfill the vision of the General Plan Land Use Element by attracting new industrial and ancillary commercial uses to the City and expand the goods and services available to employees of local businesses and customers from the surrounding communities . 265 266 267 SP11 PS RL PS CG IL PS CG PS RL IL RMH IL CG CGIL-10,000 100-IL-15,000 OS-PR PS RL PS PS CG RMHCOCG RMH COH H(Q)RMHCOCG RL RL RL H PS 100-IL-20,000 100-IL-20,000100-IL-15,000100-IL-20,000 IL P.C.RES#1266IL 100-IL-20,000 100-IL-20,000 HHOS-PR H100-IL-20,000 RL IL-10,000 H H(Q)RMHCG McFadden Ave. Edinger Ave.Springdale St.Bolsa Ave.Graham St.Reno Bolsa Ave.Graham St.Newsboy Cir.Jason Cir.McFadden Ave.Manufacture Ln.Cir.Cir.BolsaChicaSt.BolsaChicaSt.Able Ln.Oceanus Dr.Triton Ln.Galway Cir.

Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 18-002 to amend Chapter 204 (Use Classifications), Chapter 212 (Industrial Districts), and Chapter 231 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Provisions) of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) to establish land use zoning and development standards for the new Research and Technology (RT) zoning district is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan including: 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. Policy LU-1 (C): Support infill development, consolidation of parcels, and adaptive reuse of existing buildings. Goal LU-5: Industrial businesses provide employment opportunities for residents, supporting the local economy. Policy LU-5 (A): Support and attract new businesses in the city’s industrial areas. Policy LU-5 (B): Encourage clean, less intensive industrial development in areas identified in the planning area. Policy LU-5 (C): Ensure proposed development and u ses in industrial areas contribute to the City’s economic development objectives and do not minimize existing uses. Policy LU-5 (D): Explore opportunities to optimize use of underutilized or underperforming industrial land that is sensitive to surroundin g uses, and to introduce new industrial uses that create jobs. Goal LU-13: The city provides opportunities for new businesses and employees to ensure a high quality of life and thriving industry. Policy LU-13 (A): Encourage expansion of the range of goo ds and services provided to accommodate the needs of all residents and the market area. 270 Policy LU-13 (B): Capture emerging industries such as, but not limited to, “knowledge”- based industries and research and development firms. The ZTA will establish new development standards that support the attraction of new industrial and ancillary commercial uses to the City and the retention of existing businesses by providing new employment opportunities and an expansion of goods and services to the employees of local businesses and customers from the surrounding communities. The proposed amendments encourage less intensive traditional industrial uses and introduce new industrial uses designed to create jobs and support and protect the local industrial economic base. 2. In the case of a general land use provision, ZTA No. 18-002 is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for the zoning district for which it is proposed . As established by the General Plan Update in 2017, the Research an d Technology (RT) land use designation provides for a wide variety of nonresidential mixed -use development in industrial areas and encourages both employment uses and commercial uses designed to accommodate employees while continuing to allow for tradition al industrial uses. The ZTA will implement the General Plan Land Use Element’s RT designation by formally establishing the new RT district, and providing land use controls and development standards that offer a variety of nonresidential mixed -use land uses that support a wider range of both industrial and commercial uses that support the growth and retention of the City’s industrial base . The few uses that have been added or clarified in the Research and Technology (RT) district will not change the character of the existing Industrial General (IG) or Industrial Limited (IL) zoning districts and the uses authorized therein. 3. A community need is demonstrated for the change s proposed in that the current industrial land use controls and development standar ds do not reflect the current business market or provide for business needs, growth or retention. The ZTA will establish new land use classifications and development standards that allow for a scaled injection of commercial uses into primary industrial space as a means to support both existing and new businesses by providing spatial needs above what current standards allow. The ZTA will ensure the HBZSO is clear, current, and adapted to market trends. 4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public conve nience, general welfare and good zoning practice because ZTA No. 18-002 ensures the HBZSO is clear, current, reflective of market trends, and validates the City’s ongoing effort to support changing employment demand. 271 272 273 EXHIBIT A Chapter 204 USE CLASSIFICATIONS 204.02 Applicability Use classifications describe one or more uses having similar characteristics, but do not list every use or activity that may appropriately be within the classification. The director shall determine whether a specific use shall be deemed to be within one or more use classifications or not within any classification in this title. The director may determine that a specific use shall not be deemed to be within a classification, if its characteristics are substantially different than those typical of uses named within the classification. The director’s decision may be appealed to the Planning Commission. (3334-6/97) 204.04 Uses Not Classified Any new use, or any use that cannot be clearly determined to be in an existing use classification, may be incorporated into the zoning provisions by a Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance text amendment, as provided in Chapter 247. Such an incorporation shall not be effective unless certified by the Coastal Commission as a Local Coastal Program amendment. (3334-6/97) 204.06 Residential Use Classifications A.

This section is not intended to interfere with the right of an individual 21 years of age or older to possess or cultivate non-medical marijuana, as provided for by Proposition 64.

In this case, the number of spaces in excess of the prescribed minimum shall be counted in determining the required number of parking or loading spaces. D. Spaces Required for Multiple Uses. If more than one use is located on a site, the number of off-street parking spaces and loading spaces to be provided shall be equal to the sum of the requirements prescribed for each use. This requirement applies not only to multiple uses under separate ownership but also to multiple uses in the same ownership. If the gross floor area of individual uses on the same site is less than that for which a loading space would be required by Section 231.06(A), but the aggregate gross floor area of all uses is greater than the minimum for which loading spaces would be required, the aggregate gross floor area shall be used in determining the required number of loading spaces. E. Location and Ownership. Parking facilities required by this chapter shall be on the same site as the use served, except that an adjacent lot may be used which is in the same person’s possession as the structure or use. Such possession may be by deed or long-term lease, approved as to form by the City Attorney, and recorded in the Office of the County Recorder. A copy of the recorded 300 EXHIBIT C document stipulating the reservation of the property for parking purposes shall be filed with the City prior to issuance of a building permit and/or certificate of occupancy, whichever occurs first. No use shall be continued if the parking is removed from the adjacent lot unless substitute parking is provided. Parking facilities provided by a parking district or parking authority are not subject to these locational requirements. 1. Parking in Yards in R Districts. The parking of motor vehicles, trailers, campers and boats shall be prohibited on all landscaped areas within the front one-half of the lot except as provided below. a. Oversized vehicles (see Chapter 203, Definitions), campers, trailers and boats on trailers may be parked on the paved driveway area or on a paved area between the driveway and the nearest side property line provided that they do not project over any property line and that the area is kept free of trash, debris and parts. b. Commercial oversized vehicles (see Chapter 203, Definitions) or special purpose machines shall be prohibited in any yard area. 2. Parking in Yards in C or I Districts. Required yards may be used for required parking, subject to the landscaping standards of Chapter 232. 3. Access. When a lot abuts an arterial highway and a local street, access to on-site parking shall be from the local street. When a lot abuts an alley, then access to parking shall be provided from the alley unless the Planning Commission approves a different access. When a lot abuts two arterial highways or two local streets, access shall be subject to the approval of the Director of Public Works. 4. Nonresidential Parking in R Districts. Nonresidential parking serving adjacent commercial or industrial uses shall not be located in any R-zoned property. F. Computation of Spaces Required. If, in the application of the requirements of this chapter, a fractional number is obtained, one additional parking space or loading space shall be required. G. Other Requirements. 1. Any off-street parking or loading facility which is permitted but not required shall comply with all provisions of this chapter governing location, design, improvement and operation. 2. Any motor vehicle incapable of movement by its own power and/or not licensed to operate on California streets shall be stored either in an enclosed building or entirely screened from view. (3334-6/97) 231.04 Off-Street Parking and Loading Spaces Required A. Nonresidential uses shall provide one loading space (minimum 14 feet in width, 20 feet in length, and 14 feet in height) for each 20,000 square feet, or fraction thereof, of gross floor area; however, a maximum of three such spaces are required for buildings exceeding 60,000 square feet. No loading space is required for nonresidential uses with less than 20,000 square feet of gross floor area. 301 EXHIBIT C B. Off-street parking spaces shall be provided in accord with the following schedule. References to spaces per square foot are to be computed on the basis of gross floor area, unless otherwise specified. Where the use is undetermined, the approving body shall determine the probable use and the number of parking and loading spaces required. In order to make this determination, the director may require the submission of survey data prepared by a state-registered traffic engineer for the applicant or collected at the applicant’s expense. Parking spaces over and above the minimum number specified in this section may be required by the body responsible for reviewing the use itself based on the intensity of the use. C. The director may allow a parking reduction for a change of use if the increase in the required parking is not more than five spaces. The change of use request must be on a site with two or more uses, have a minimum of 50 existing parking spaces and provide an upgrade of existing landscaping. This same reduction may be considered for uses complying with state handicap regulations as mandated by state law and applicable to parking requirements. This provision shall not apply to applications for development within the coastal zone that necessitate a Coastal Development Permit.

City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/3/2019Page 2 of 15 powered by Legistar™320 File #:19-708 MEETING DATE:7/9/2019 Background: To inform development of the RT Zone regulations, community engagement efforts included a variety of events and methods. In July 2018, staff and the City’s consultant, RRM Design Group, presented the undertaking to the City’s quarterly Brokers Briefing meeting and conducted two days of stakeholder meetings with businesses, landowners, City departments, community members, brokers, and other interested parties. Valuable feedback was provided from a local market perspective as well as community and code user viewpoints. Key themes included: streamlining processes and permitting, updating and allowing flexible uses, providing compatibility/performance standards, right- sizing parking regulations, and being forward-looking to accommodate advancing technologies and trends. In addition, project announcements were mailed to owners of all parcels in the RT study area in August 2018 advising of the City’s intent and invitation to participate. Regular updates and a frequently asked questions (FAQs) sheet were provided on the City’s website. While community engagement tasks were completed, RRM Design Group prepared two reports, a Market Analysis and Technical Background Analysis to enrich the data serving the project outcomes. The Market Analysis described potential market growth and development potentials for the industrial areas to be designated RT, as well as provided insight into development standard issues that might affect the economic feasibility of future development in the RT district. The Technical Analysis Report includes discussion of the existing regulatory setting, and a comparison of examples of RT or related land use zoning standards for relevant zoning examples. Further, the Technical Analysis Report summarized the key findings from the project’s community outreach and stakeholder interview process that was used to build a collaborative interest and consensus for the proposed zoning standards. Research and Technology The 2017 comprehensive update of the General Plan included a Land Use Element that introduced a new Research and Technology land use designation. The RT land use designation allows a maximum Floor Area Ratio of 1.0 and intends to permit a wide variety of nonresidential mixed-use development in existing industrial areas along the Gothard Street corridor (from south of Edinger Avenue to Ellis Avenue) and within the northwest industrial areas (bordered by Bolsa Avenue, Springdale Street, Edinger Avenue, and Bolsa Chica Street). The proposed project requests will result in a change in the land use designation upon a single parcel on the General Plan Land Use Map, the amendment of the corresponding Zoning Map to reflect all new RT land use designations, and the establishment of land use controls and development standards for the RT zoning district in the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) in order to implement the RT land use designation as prescribed by the General Plan Land Use Element. General Plan Amendment No. 19-001 The subject parcel of the General Plan Amendment request is an interior 2.6-acre portion of a site that comprises a portion of a former County landfill property. The remainder of the landfill site, a 9.42- acre parcel fronting Gothard Street, was amended to RT as part of the 2017 comprehensive General Plan update. However, the subject 2.6-acre portion of the site was inadvertently left out of the update and the General Plan Amendment will correct this omission. The subject parcel is also owned by the County, and is immediately west of the 9.42-acre vacant parcel (APN 111-071-35) currently City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/3/2019Page 3 of 15 powered by Legistar™321 File #:19-708 MEETING DATE:7/9/2019 designated RT. Both properties are owned by the County, and function together as one vacant site. This action will bring the entire site under the RT designation for future use, and the new RT development standards to be established will subsequently apply to the entire 11.68-acre site. Study Session: The Planning Commission held two Study Sessions for the proposed project. May 28, 2019 At the first study session discussing the County Gothard Property and Research and Technology Zoning project, staff introduced the three requests of the project, to which the General Plan Amendment request to capture the County-owned Gothard parcel into the RT land use designation had been added. The Commission requested several items of clarification regarding future uses of the RT zone, identify future uses of the County Gothard parcel, and asked staff to include discussion of companion pieces to the project as a means to further implement the vision of the RT zoning district. June 11, 2019 At the second study session, staff introduced the legislative draft text changes of three chapters of the HBZSO, which constitute the scope of the Zoning Text Amendment request. Commission discussion included clarification of items to be modified with the project, including buffer requirements for auto storage and impound yards, the deletion of vehicle dismantling as a land use, and compatibility of future RT uses with traditional industrial uses. Further, the Commission requested that staff return with an analysis of the possibility of providing standards or other mechanism in the Zoning Text Amendment that would accommodate the installation of pedestrian sidewalks on properties within the RT zone. That analysis is provided for in the attached Companion Topics document (Attachment No. 5). ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: General Plan Conformance: To allow future land uses and development, the City’s existing Zoning Map must correspond to the General Plan Land Use Map adopted in 2017. The Zoning Map Amendment will formally establish the RT zoning designations by changing the existing zoning designations including IG (Industrial General), IL (Industrial Limited) and CO (Commercial Office) of certain properties to RT (Research and Technology), thereby making both the General Plan and Zoning Map land use designations consistent with one another. To complete the implementation of the RT zoning amendment, the Planning Commission must review, consider and recommend land use zoning and development standards for the new RT zoning district. The text changes proposed by staff in the attached legislative drafts detail the new language and updates to three chapters of the HBZSO that will provide such standards, as best prescribed by the vision of the General Plan Land Use Element. The three chapters to be amended are Chapter 204 (Use Classifications), Chapter 212 (Industrial Districts), and Chapter 231 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Provisions). City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/3/2019Page 4 of 15 powered by Legistar™322 File #:19-708 MEETING DATE:7/9/2019 The proposed ZMA and ZTA requests are consistent with the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan including: 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. Policy LU-1 (C): Support infill development, consolidation of parcels, and adaptive reuse of existing buildings. Goal LU-5: Industrial businesses provide employment opportunities for residents, supporting the local economy. Policy LU-5 (A): Support and attract new businesses in the city’s industrial areas. Policy LU-5 (B): Encourage clean, less intensive industrial development in areas identified in the planning area. Policy LU-5 (C): Ensure proposed development and uses in industrial areas contribute to the City’s economic development objectives and do not minimize existing uses. Policy LU-5 (D): Explore opportunities to optimize use of underutilized or underperforming industrial land that is sensitive to surrounding uses, and to introduce new industrial uses that create jobs. Goal LU-13: The city provides opportunities for new businesses and employees to ensure a high quality of life and thriving industry. Policy LU-13 (A): Encourage expansion of the range of goods and services provided to accommodate the needs of all residents and the market area. Policy LU-13 (B): Capture emerging industries such as, but not limited to, “knowledge”-based industries and research and development firms. The 2017 General Plan Update identified target industries and opportunity areas in the Northwest Industrial and Gothard Corridor subareas where technology manufacturing and service industries provide a high potential for growth, and provided the direction to transform these areas. The ZTA and ZMA requests fulfill the vision of the 2017 General Plan Land Use Element by implementing the new RT zoning designation and establishing land use controls and development standards for the RT areas. The new development standards support the attraction of new industrial and ancillary commercial uses to the City and retention of existing businesses by providing new employment opportunities and an expansion of goods and services to the employees of local businesses and customers from the surrounding communities. The proposed amendments encourage the continuation of traditional industrial uses and introduction of new RT uses by reducing regulatory processes and allowing for more flexible use of building space to ensure the City is responsive to changing employment demand and industry while protecting the local industrial economic base. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/3/2019Page 5 of 15 powered by Legistar™323 File #:19-708 MEETING DATE:7/9/2019 Zoning Compliance: The following provides a review of the proposed amendments of the ZTA request in three sections, organized by sequential HBZSO chapter. A.Chapter 204 (Use Classifications) The project will introduce two new use classifications applicable to Industrial Districts: 1. Alcoholic Beverage Manufacturing. The manufacture or production of beer, wine, cider, or distilled spirits by any person licensed by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control of the State of California and includes the sale or distribution of said products both within and without the jurisdiction of the City. The existing HBZSO does not contain a specific land use classification for businesses that manufacture beer, wine, cider or distilled spirits, despite several entitlement approvals for such uses. For example, under the current code, a proposed brewery is classified as a manufacturing operation, and as a standalone use without the provision of on-site consumption, does not require discretionary approval. The introduction of the Alcoholic Beverage Manufacturing use formally establishes a definition of land use, and allows certain discretionary oversight as proposed in Chapter 212, discussed below. 2. RT Flex Space.Any combination of manufacturing, research and development, testing, distribution, warehouse and storage space, including retail and/or showroom (max 10% gross floor area), eating and drinking (max 10% gross floor area), and offices (max. 30% gross floor area) are permitted by right when complying with a minimum 1 parking space per 500 gross square feet parking requirement. Recognizing that the current HBZSO standards are neither reflective of the current business market nor provide for future business needs, growth, or retention, staff is recommending the RT Flex Space use classification to fill the gap between traditional industrial uses and commercial uses. The primary goal of this land use classification is to expand how both existing and new businesses can ‘flex’ their operations within their building space. This new land use classification originates from stakeholder input and market analysis and allows for a scaled injection of commercial uses into primary industrial space as a means to support both existing and new businesses by providing spatial needs above what current code allows. In any scenario, by-right approval of uses under this classification is predicated on the provision of required parking on-site. B.Chapter 212 (Industrial Districts) Section 212.02 Industrial Districts Established The ZTA provides reference to the third Industrial District, the RT Research and Technology District, and these reference changes are included throughout Chapter 212 without further reference in this staff report. Section 212.04 Land Use Controls The ZTA adds a third column next to the existing IG and IL columns in Section 212.04, which outlines City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/3/2019Page 6 of 15 powered by Legistar™324 File #:19-708 MEETING DATE:7/9/2019 the approval procedure for each listed use classification. The RT column identifies land use approval procedures that mirror those for the IG and IL districts with the following exceptions: 1.Commercial Recreation and Entertainment Current process: Provision L-2, subject to CUP to ZA Proposed process: Subject to CUP to PC Commercial recreation and entertainment uses are commercial operations that create a high amount of vehicular traffic and parking demand, often including businesses that require large amounts of building space such as health and fitness clubs, theatres, bowling alleys, and shooting galleries. Parking, compatibility issues, and a desire to preserve the industrial base within the RT zone are the basis to recommend a higher level of discretionary review and analysis for these uses. 2.Eating and Drinking Establishments Current process: Provision L-3, subject to CUP to ZA in a free standing structure or as a secondary use in a building, maximum 20% of the floor area. Proposed process: Delete reference to Provision L-3, and insert reference to revised provision L-2; permitted by right only when operated as an ancillary use to a primary industrial use and for general public use after providing minimum parking on-site (1 space per 100 square feet). Removing the CUP requirement for new eating and drinking uses will encourage new restaurants, cafes, and similar uses to open, providing new jobs and services to the daily users of the RT zoning districts. In conjunction with the new RT Flex Space use classification discussed above, the ZTA fulfills the direction of the General Plan by providing a wider variety of commercial uses designed to accommodate employees while continuing to allow traditional industrial uses. 3.Offices Business & Professional Current process: Provision L-1, subject to CUP to ZA only for a mixed-use project with a minimum 3 acres site and other requirements; maximum 10% of gross floor area in IG and IL districts. Proposed process: Office areas for buildings in RT district permitted by right up to 30% of gross floor area (no additional parking required). No change to IG or IL districts. CUP to ZA to exceed The ZTA will remove Provision L-1 from Offices Business & Professional, thereby establishing the new criteria in Provision L-10, which permits office areas for buildings within the RT district to occupy a maximum 30% of gross floor area without providing additional parking, compared to the current maximum of 10% in the IG and IL districts. Further, the ZTA will delete the reference to Additional Provision (G), and add reference to Additional Provision (C). Additional Provision (G)’s existing requirements for accessory offices are to be included in Provision L- 10, and place new language in Additional Provision (C) identifying that accessory office spaces exceeding the maximum limits require a CUP from ZA supported by a parking demand study for all uses on site. Discussion of the deletion of Additional Provision (G) is provided City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/3/2019Page 7 of 15 powered by Legistar™325 File #:19-708 MEETING DATE:7/9/2019 below. 4.Wholesaling, Distribution & Storage Current process: Permitted by right (no limitation on square feet). Proposed Process: Uses up to 150,000 gross square feet permitted by right, CUP to ZA for uses greater than 150,000 square feet. Large scale (>150,000 square feet) wholesaling and distribution uses require a high level of large truck traffic that creates adverse noise and circulation impacts to surrounding businesses, as well as the overall traffic movement of the surrounding community. Creating an entitlement requirement for large scale wholesale and distribution uses will act as a disincentive to locating such uses in the RT district, thereby preserving the flex industrial base for both traditional industrial uses and new RT Flex space uses as envisioned by the General Plan. Section 212.04 Additional Provisions In addition to the Land Use Controls revisions listed above, the ZTA will amend multiple elements of the Additional Provisions, as they would apply to the RT district. Additional Provision L-2 ·Delete reference to CUP to ZA ·Use is permitted only when designed and operated for principal use by employees of the surrounding industrial development as an ancillary use to a primary industrial use. ·For general public use, permitted upon consideration of vehicular access and complying with minimum parking requirements. ·Applies to Eating and Drinking Establishments and Commercial Recreation and Entertainment uses only. Additional Provision L-3 ·Placed in Reserved status and language deleted. Provisions for Eating & Drinking Establishments moved to L-2. Additional Provision L-4 ·Added ‘fueling’ reference to identify service stations per Planning Commission direction. Additional Provision L-6 ·Delete ‘day care’ from non-permitted status. General Day Care uses under current code (non-medical care for 13 or more persons on a less than 24 hour basis, including nursery schools, preschools, and day care centers for children or adults) are permitted subject to CUP to ZA in IG and IL districts. The same would apply in the RT district. Additional Provision L-9 City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/3/2019Page 8 of 15 powered by Legistar™326 File #:19-708 MEETING DATE:7/9/2019 ·Upgrade approval from Administrative Permit Neighborhood Notification to a CUP to ZA for Personal Enrichment uses greater than 5,000 square feet. Additional Provision L-10 ·Remove Reserved status. ·Add provision for office areas within buildings in RT district permitted by right up to 30% of gross floor area (no additional parking required). ·No change to IG or IL districts (maximum 10% ancillary office with no additional parking required). ·CUP to ZA to exceed these maximums supported by a parking demand study. ·(From Additional Provision (G)): Medical/dental offices, insurance brokerage offices, and real estate brokerage offices except for on-site leasing offices are not permitted in any Industrial District. (New) Additional Provision L-13 ·Establish Alcoholic Beverage Manufacturing Requirements: o Alcoholic Beverage Manufacturing uses without eating and drinking for public sales or service are permitted. o Maximum 1,000 square feet of indoor and/or outdoor eating and drinking area per business requires Administrative Permit with Neighborhood Notification. o Indoor and/or outdoor eating and drinking areas greater than 1,000 square feet require CUP to ZA. ·Add “L-13” to Land Use Controls reference for Alcoholic Beverage Manufacturing uses. Additional Provision (C) ·Delete maximum 10% accessory office uses. ·Add CUP to ZA requirement for office areas exceeding maximum allowable percentage as established in L-10. ·Add “(C)” to Land Use Controls reference for Offices, Business & Professional. Additional Provision (D) ·Delete “adjunct office and”. Ancillary office criteria will be established in Additional Provisions L-10 and (C). ·Delete “any retail sales are limited to goods manufactured on-site.” This limitation is not consistent with goals of General Plan Land Use Element or vision of the RT district. ·Add reference to IG and IL districts only, since RT district has separate office and commercial space allowances. ·Add exclusion of business and professional office from 25% floor are allowance. Current code permits up to 25% of floor area of a primary industrial use to be commercial space subject to CUP to ZA. Subject ZTA allows office space up to 30% in City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/3/2019Page 9 of 15 powered by Legistar™327 File #:19-708 MEETING DATE:7/9/2019 RT district and reference is therefore unnecessary. Additional Provision (G) ·Add Reserved status. ·Delete existing text. Office criteria will be established in Additional Provisions L-10 and (C). Additional Provision (H) ·Delete reference to “dismantling”. No known auto dismantling as primary use businesses exist. Such uses are incompatible with surrounding uses and inconsistent with goals and policies of the General Plan Land Use Element. ·Revise language to identify that within IL and RT districts, auto storage and/or impound yards are subject to CUP by ZA in lieu of PC. ·Revise criteria for vehicle storage uses in all Industrial districts: o Replace mandatory 660 linear foot buffer from an R district with Administrative Permit with Neighborhood Notification for vehicle storage uses within 660 linear feet of an R district. o Establish vehicle storage or impound yards on public agency owned property are permitted, subject to screening requirements. o Add language to establish screening requirements for permanent storage or impound yards. o Add language to establish screening requirements and disallow vehicle washing for temporary storage or impound yards. o Delete “items stacked” and refer to vehicles in storage yards shall not exceed height of screening walls or be visible from adjacent public streets. This would require that larger vehicles such as RVs be placed in the interior of a site to reduce visual impacts to surrounding properties. Additional Provision (R) ·Add Neighborhood Notification requirements when no other entitlement is required. This establishes an Administrative Permit process for non-amplified live entertainment requests located within 300 feet of a residential zone or use. Under current code, non- amplified live entertainment outside of 300 feet radius from residential zone or use is permitted. The City desires to review and conditionally approve such uses within the Industrial Districts to reduce potential impacts to surrounding uses. Additional Provision (T) ·Delete and add Neighborhood Notification requirement to (R). Additional Provision (T) is no longer necessary.

The proposed changes to Schedule A will ensure that readers of the HBZSO are aware of this requirement should those persons only read Chapter 231 seeking information regarding parking requirements. The ZTA does not propose to modify the minimum parking ratios in any manner. Urban Design Guidelines Conformance: Not applicable. Environmental Status: The City Council adopted Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 14-001 for the General Plan Update in 2017, which included implementation of a new Research and Technology General Plan land use designation. The General Plan Program EIR projected growth and 2040 buildout numbers for non-residential development, including 463 acres of the RT land use designation. Thus, the General Plan EIR provides the environmental setting and analysis to serve as the first-tier California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document for the proposed project. Although the establishment of RT zoning land use controls and development standards through ZTA 18-002 will result in some changes or additions to the General Plan EIR, there will not be a change in the buildout characteristics that results in new significant impacts or an increase in the severity of a previously identified impact in the General Plan EIR. As analyzed in the draft Addendum to the General Plan Program EIR, the proposed GPA, ZTA, and ZMA will not result in an action that requires further evaluation pursuant to CEQA, and neither the Planning Commission nor the City Council will need to take action on the Addendum. Within the Industrial Districts (IG, IL, and RT), all future discretionary projects are subject to CEQA and may have potential project or site specific impacts that would require environmental review. Future review and analysis will be determined on a case by case basis. It should be noted that the GPA would affect a single parcel that is part of a former landfill that was closed in 1962. While the two parcels that make up the landfill site are located within the City of Huntington Beach, the property is owned by the County of Orange and managed by Orange County Waste & Recycling (OCWR). The property is subject to ongoing regulatory requirements including routine inspections, sampling events, reporting and maintenance associated with groundwater, surface water, and other environmental monitoring processes. OCWR has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) to allow for the removal of coastal sage scrub that currently grows on the property in an effort to permit a future land use on the property.

The City is not the lead agency for the MND but is coordinating with OCWR and the County regarding the coastal sage scrub removal efforts and mitigation. Upon adoption by the City Council, the RT land use controls and development standards proposed by ZTA 18-002 would be applicable to the County landfill site. Coastal Status: Not applicable. Design Review Board: Not applicable. Subdivision Committee: Not applicable. Other Departments Concerns and Requirements: The Public Works Department, Fire Department, Office of Business Development, and Building Division have reviewed and participated in the drafting of the proposed RT language and development standards. Public Notification: Legal notice was published in the Huntington Beach Wave on June 27, 2019, notices were sent to individuals/organizations requesting notification (Planning Division’s Notification Matrix), and notices were sent to property owners of parcels that will be designated RT as a result of the proposed project. As of July 3, 2019, two phone calls from property owners were received requesting additional information.

SUMMARY: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of General Plan Amendment No. 19-001, and Zoning Map Amendment No. 18-001 and Zoning Text Amendment No. 18-002 with findings, and forward to the City Council in that the project: §Implements multiple goals and policies of the General Plan Land Use Element §Establishes land use controls and development standards for the Research and Technology zoning district that provide for new flexible requirements that will attract and retain new businesses and support the future needs of existing businesses. §Cleans up Chapter 212 Industrial Districts to reflect current market needs for new uses and development, and improve clarity by addressing minor inconsistencies. §Codifies existing policies and code interpretations and allows select entitlement requests to be reviewed by a more appropriate hearing body or to be permitted by right in the new RT district. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/3/2019Page 14 of 15 powered by Legistar™332 333 Suggested Recommendation to City Council by the Planning Commission for Broadband Pilot The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council create a Broadband and Wireless Ad-Hoc Committee to review Policy and Outline Goals for Broadband, Technology and Transportation Improvements in R&T Zone as a Technology Pilot Project Area: Potential Goals and Policy Decisions a future Committee may consider:  Identify what the Broadband needs are for the City government – G2G o Connect City Facilities with Fiber (Recommendation of CTC Broadband Study) o Evaluate what leased lines the City is paying for from private carriers  Determine plan to eliminate all leased lines and create redundancy to wireless system (i.e. wireless should not be the only link between facilities) o Poll City Departments on any future City needs of connected G2G o Evaluate leasing our dark fiber resources to Seal Beach, Westminster, OCWD, the County (OCPW, OC Flood Control, Vector Control), or Caltrans for any of their needs  Continued Wireless Attachment Policy - $2000 versus $270 for City Owned Street Lights. Evaluate using that money as Enterprise Fund rather than General Fund to continue funding for Broadband expansion (same for dark fiber).  Dark Fiber Policy – What/Where/How much – set a fee schedule so City can advertise on the open market.  Dig Once Policy (or Joint Trench as steppingstone) – Currently sitting at Public Works  Evaluate if City Owned (Community Broadband) Direct Lit Fiber Service or a PON (Passive Optical Network) for Business is feasible in R&T pilot area as economic development tool.  Evaluate Community WiFi on Public Property  Evaluate Expansion of Community Broadband Policy to Residential customers adjacent to the Pilot Area  Identify funding sources – AQMD, OCGo (Measure M2), General Fund, Gas Tax, Revenue Bonds, CBDG Block Grants for getting fiber in the ground. Library or School fiber projects or partnerships with the Community College / School district’s infrastructure upgrades as other potential sources of “Dig Once” opportunities.  Evaluate using R&T Zone as Intelligent Traffic Management Systems (ITS) testing area. Real-time Traffic light synchronization and monitoring, public safety improvements, and autonomous vehicle testing can all be ancillary sources of fiber optic expansion for broadband resources in the pilot area, in addition to economic development drivers. Summary: Huntington Beach needs a comprehensive plan and policy direction that staff and the community can work towards. If our goal is Community Broadband, then we should create a plan to get there. If our goal is to cut IT costs, then we need to identify what those recurring infrastructure costs are. There is a huge economic upside to having a City Owned fiber optic network for businesses (including the hotels) that can service high speed connections and eventually hit our residential neighborhoods to encourage telecommuting (which cuts down on traffic) and startups that require high bandwidth without the need for colocation or offsite datacenters. Bringing in new types of businesses that are high paying and low impact is a primary goal of the R&T Zone. 334 MARKET ANALYSIS FOR AMENDMENT TO THE HUNTINGTON BEACH ZONING AND CODE RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY (RT) ZONING DESIGNATION Prepared for: City of Huntington Beach November 1, 2018 Revised December 10, 2018 PREPARED BY: THE NATELSON DALE GROUP, INC. 24835 LA PALMA AVE SUITE I • YORBA LINDA, CA 92887 O: 714.692.9596 • F: 714.692.9597 • www.natelsondale.com 335 Table of Contents 1.

Introduction This report provides a focused market analysis to ensure that the anticipated Research and Technology (RT) zoning classification is responsive to market demand and reflects the contemporary facility requirements of targeted business types. Along with allowing traditional industrial uses (e.g., various manufacturing, warehouses, and wholesale uses) in the plan areas, the City’s goal with the RT zoning classification is to provide a zoning and planning framework that encourages a more flexible use of building space to attract new businesses to the area. As envisioned by the City, some of these new businesses would likely be in emerging industries with building space requirements more aligned with lower-intensity industrial and commercial uses. The market analysis considers the two areas envisioned for the RT zoning classification: the Northwest Industrial Area (760 acres) and the Gothard Corridor (422 acres). The market analysis has two major purposes: 1. Describe potential market growth and development potentials for the types of industrial land uses envisioned for the RT designated areas; and 2. Provide the City of Huntington Beach (“City”) insight on development standards issues (e.g., floor-to-area [FAR] thresholds, parking requirements, design standards, etc.) that may affect the economic feasibility of future development within the RT areas. The report findings are largely based on a series of interviews with various stakeholders familiar with the local and regional industrial real estate market (industrial real estate brokers, industrial property developers, and existing Huntington Beach businesses). Along with the valuable insights provided by these local experts with “on-the-ground” experience in Huntington Beach and the surrounding region, The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. (TNDG) also researched the characteristics of comparable “creative industrial” development districts throughout California. Finally, as part of the market study process, TNDG has prepared a list of technology-oriented industry clusters that may be strong candidates for attraction to the City. The remainder of the report is organized as follows. Chapter 2 provides a summary of the study’s major findings. Chapter 3 provides a brief overview of industrial market trends in Huntington Beach and the surrounding region. Chapter 4 provides a working list of target industries and clusters 1 for the RT designated areas. Chapter 5 provides a summary of findings and insights gained from the stakeholder interviews. Chapter 6 provides a summary profile of other communities with established/emerging concentrations of “creative industrial” development. 1 Clusters are groups of inter-related industry sectors whose growth potentials within a region tend to be closely aligned. The tendency of individual industries to co-locate in clusters reflects linkages through supply-chain relationships, as well as commonalities in terms of workforce requirements and infrastructure needs. The concept of industry clusters is an effective framework for economic development programming since it reflects a holistic understanding of the regional economic conditions driving the growth or retraction of individual sectors. 337 Market Analysis for Hunting Beach Research and Technology (RT) Zone The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. 2 2. Executive Summary Based on the research completed for this analysis, this executive summary provides specific City recommendations for the proposed RT zones. Recommendations are divided between those that would be achieved through zoning/land use amendments versus those through general policy recommendations. Recommendations – Zoning/Land Use • Floor-to-Area Ratio. Market-driven FARs would likely range from 0.30 to 0.50. A prototypical RT- type development would have an overall FAR of 0.35 with approximately 30% of building space allocated to office uses. Market participants do not believe that development intensities would reach a 1.0 FAR, given that this would translate to a two-story industrial building. There is no market for this type of development and it is not envisioned to develop for the foreseeable future. To accommodate special racking needs of some tenants, allowable building heights should be 36 feet. • Office Space Allocation. Based on the above and discussions with market participants (developers, brokers, end users), current development trends indicate that the office space allocation within modern industrial buildings would be expected to range from 10% to 30% of total floor area. The lower range (10%) would apply to more traditional industrial uses 2, while the more R&D- and RT-type tenants would typically require higher proportions of office space. As noted above, some creative industrial projects are developed with as much as 30% office space. • Parking. Parking requirements varied among market participants, with guidelines ranging from 1.8 to 3.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet. Whereas some industrial brokers highlighted a shortage of adequate parking along the Gothard corridor, others noted an excess of parking, with an estimated 60%-70% of industrial businesses not using all of their on-site parking capacity3. This is also an area where the City needs to be forward looking, as future trends (e.g., ride sharing, autonomous cars, etc.) may reduce traditional parking requirement thresholds. • RT-use Example. The following breakdown provides a concrete example of development characteristics of a relatively new RT-type tenant in Huntington Beach. Newlight Technologies is an advanced manufacturing company that converts greenhouse gases into thermoplastics that recently relocated to the City. The company recently leased a new modern industrial building with the following characteristics. On 2.44 acres of land, the business occupied a newly built 41,668 square foot industrial building, equating to an FAR of 0.39. Total office space at 7,111 2 Historically, speculative industrial buildings were developed with as little as 3% to 5% office space. However, many new users beginning to embrace buildings with 10% allocated to office uses. 3 Chad Frisby and Mark Carnahan, Building and Safety Department. 338 Market Analysis for Hunting Beach Research and Technology (RT) Zone The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. 3 square feet accounts for about 17% of total building space. The property includes 89 parking spaces, equating to 2.14 spaces/1,000 square feet of building space 4. Recommendations - General Policy Recommendations The following general policy recommendations are provided, based on discussions and structured interviews with market participants, to help ensure the success of the two proposed RT zone areas. • Light Industrial/Manufacturing. There is significant value in attracting RT-type tenants, with the associated higher-paying, higher-quality job opportunities from such businesses. However, the City should not lose sight that light manufacturing and light industrial uses (in general, not just those associated with RT industries) are natural fits for the Huntington Beach industrial market. The City also has a strong concentration of entrepreneurs, operating across the entire value chain (e.g., initial assembly and distribution of goods) that could use modern, functional industrial space. • Streamlining Process. Although eliminating the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for approved uses is a good start, anything additional to further streamline the administrative review process is positive for encouraging new development. Most developers have 60-90 days for due diligence activities, so any steps the City can take to reduce development timelines (zoning, permitting, etc.) and uncertainty will help facilitate new development in the zones. • Incentives. Given the fractionalized ownership of much of the property in the two zones, the City will need to give some incentives to encourage property owners to "play ball" to upgrade or sell properties. One intriguing example mentioned was City financial incentives for a couple existing building improvement projects (new paint, façade improvements, etc.). These could serve as pilot projects for the proposed RT areas, with the intention to “jumpstart” the process of improving other existing properties to more contemporary development standards. Such incentives combined with maybe two or three "before and after" financial analyses that show pre- and post-value of properties would help convince property owners of the potential value in improving their properties. This is one potential option to establish some momentum behind the plan 5. • Infrastructure. To effectively target high-tech/clean-tech type industries, it would be valuable to evaluate potential industrial grade utility infrastructure improvements (this may be more financially feasible along the Gothard corridor, given the existing higher density and the higher number of users that could benefit from such improvements). Examples would include high-powered natural gas lines, specialized water delivery, etc. On a much larger 4 According to the Chief Operating Officer (COO), Even Creelman, they currently have excess parking, as there are currently only about 25 people working onsite per shift (the company runs as a 24-hour operation with two 12- hour shifts). 5 One example related to the above point, a local real estate broker indicated that the City could potentially put together an approved contractor list with pre-determined costs for specific desired improvements (e.g., new paint, façade improvements, etc.). Perhaps the City could subsidize some agreed upon portion of these costs. Anything to help with reducing direct and/or transaction costs associated with these property improvements would help at the margin. 339 Market Analysis for Hunting Beach Research and Technology (RT) Zone The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. 4 scale, the Edmonton Energy and Technology Park (EETP) includes a cluster of petrochemical- based industries, general industrial, manufacturing, logistics and related support industries, all of which access an advanced industrial grade utility infrastructure system 6. • Potential Funding Sources. Potential funding sources for the above examples would include the following: City Resources (General Fund, Capital Improvement Program, User Fees), Outside Grants (Regional, State, and Federal Grants), Developer Contributions (Impact/In- lieu fees, Negotiated Agreements), and District-Based Tools (Assessment Districts, Community Facilities Districts, and Enhanced Infrastructure Finance Districts). These funding sources would be evaluated in more detail as the project progresses. 6 This is potentially an important issue given that there are some existing electric power service issues in the Northwest area (as in other relatively older industrial and residential areas with aging infrastructure), according to City staff. 340 Market Analysis for Hunting Beach Research and Technology (RT) Zone The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. 5 3. Overview of National, Regional, and Local Industrial Market This chapter highlights local, regional, and national trends related to industrial development. On just about every market measure – vacancy rates, rental growth rates, etc. – the industrial real estate market is robust. As one commercial real estate survey put it, “industrial markets continue to be where the action is in nonresidential commercial real estate development [emphasis added]”7. At the “global” level, this is a positive trend for the City in terms of opportunities to attract new industrial development related to traditional uses, and potentially emerging RT-type uses. National Market The relative strength of the industrial segment in the commercial real estate market is well documented. In a widely read annual report on commercial real estate trends, published by The Urban Land Institute (ULI) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the industrial segment was singled out as the top ranked property type (in terms of both development and investment prospects) for 2018 as well as the previous four years8. Market fundamentals at the national level are extremely favorable for industrial development – with vacancies at historically low levels and rapidly rising rents. The following market statistics from Colliers International most recent national industrial research report (2nd Quarter, 2018) highlight the underlying strength on the industrial segment: • The national industrial vacancy rate reached an all-time low of 5.0% (down from 5.3% in Q2 2017). Relative to Q2 2017, 71.5% of markets had lower vacancy rates in Q2 2018. • Vacancy rates reached new lows even with significant new supply added to the market – more than 64 million square feet of industrial space was added in the second quarter alone. • As of Q2 2018, year-to-date (YTD) net absorption 9 was approximately 122.5 million square feet, with 84% of markets experiencing positive net absorption. • As of Q2 2018, year-over-year (YOY) average asking rents continued to rise for all three major industrial property types: Warehouse/Distribution (+5.2%), Flex/Service (+5.4%), and Manufacturing (+0.9%). The ULI and PwC real estate trends survey points to two major structural changes in the economy as major driving forces for industrial real estate. First, although the rise of e-commerce has contributed to the challenges in the commercial retail market, it has been a boon to the warehouse/distribution sector of the industrial real estate market 10. Second, health care and related industries have also been driving 7 Allen Matkins | UCLA Anderson Forecast Commercial Real Estate Survey. Summer/Fall 2018, Issue No. 23. The survey covers the major Southern California and Bay Area markets for office, industrial, retail and multi-family space. 8 PwC and the Urban Land Institute: Emerging Trends in Real Estate® 2018. Washington, D.C.: PwC and the Urban Land Institute, 2017. 9 Net absorption is defined as net change in occupied square feet from period to the next. 10 E-commerce sales have increased from a relatively small base in a rapid manner. In the first quarter of 2018, they were up 16.4% YOY, and now represent about 10.5% of total non-auto retail sales. 341 Market Analysis for Hunting Beach Research and Technology (RT) Zone The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. 6 demand for industrial uses. For example, the aging population demographic trends have created a need for more medical equipment, devices, and pharmaceuticals. As noted, these are long-term structural changes in the economy that are favorable for industrial development for the foreseeable future. Regional and Local Market The positive national trends for industrial real estate are even more pronounced at the local and regional level. As the most recent California Commercial Real Estate Survey and Index prepared by Allen Matkins and the UCLA Anderson Forecast succinctly put it, “industrial markets continue to be where the action is in nonresidential commercial real estate development”11. Based on current (August 2018) industrial market data provided by The Reef Group (a local real estate services firm based in Huntington Beach)12, the following bullet points highlight the major industrial market statistics for Orange County and Huntington Beach. • Vacancy rates are at historic lows in Huntington Beach (2.8%) and in Orange County (2.5%). In the City, vacancy rates have declined by close to 500 basis points (bps) since 2012 (7.7%). For Orange County, vacancy rates have also declined significantly – falling by 420 basis points since 2010 (6.7%). • Increase in demand for industrial space has driven commensurate increases in asking rental rates. During the six-year period from 2012 to 2017, average asking rents increased at a healthy 6.9% and 6.8% annual growth rate in the City and County, respectively. Since year end 2017, average rental rates have continued to increase throughout this year (through August 2018), up 3.5% in the City and in the County. Existing average rental rates in Huntington Beach ($1.06 per square foot) are close to the countywide average ($1.08). • Market pricing trends in the recent six-year period have been as equally strong in the City and in the County. As of August 2018, industrial property sales averaged approximately $258 per square foot both in the City and County. Since 2012, average sales prices, on a per square foot basis, have more than doubled in the City (+106%) and in the County (+104%). The Reef Group industrial market report, noted above, indicates than Huntington Beach is one of Orange County’s largest industrial markets, accounting for about 6% of total County industrial inventory (the 6th largest market out of 26 total). Most of the industrial inventory is accounted for in Logistics and Specialized Industrial facilities. The market report shows that 17.5 million square feet of industrial space in the City is distributed by sub-category as follows: Logistics (42%), Specialized Industrial (41%), and Flex Industrial (17%). 11 Allen Matkins | UCLA Anderson Forecast Commercial Real Estate Survey. Summer/Fall 2018, Issue No. 23. The survey covers the major Southern California and Bay Area markets for office, industrial, retail and multi-family space. 12 The Reef group prepared Huntington Beach and Orange County industrial market reports, with the underlying data licensed from CoStar, a leading provider of commercial real estate market data.

Working List of Industries/Clusters and Tenant Types This chapter identifies list of target industries and economic clusters that would represent candidates for new business growth in the two proposed zoning areas. The first section provides a brief overview of the broad industrial structure of the local Huntington Beach economy. Following this, the chapter provides an analysis of target technology industries identified in the City’s Economic Development Trends report, prepared as part of the most recent General Plan update. Specifically, the analysis ties these to target technology industries to broader clusters that would be candidates for further growth in the City. Industrial Structure Figure 4-1, on the following page, provides a breakdown of major industry group employment in Huntington Beach (The industry descriptions are based on the North American Industry Classification System [NAICS] from the U.S. Census Bureau). As shown in the figure, manufacturing, at 18% of the City’s total workforce, represents the largest share of industry employment in the City. This suggests, given the industrial structure of the local economy, that industrial development is a natural fit for the City. Further underscoring this is the list of the current top 10 private employers in the City, as shown on Figure 4-2 on page 9. Four out of the five top employers are in manufacturing industries. As part of its efforts to consolidate its defense and space operations in other areas in Southern California and out of state, Boeing will be moving about 2,400 jobs out of Huntington Beach. However, the net impact to overall manufacturing employment base – and associated demand for industrial space – will likely be much lower than this headline number. As noted in The Reef Group market report, manufacturers such as Rocket Lab, Titan Footwear, and ASEA Power systems, have all moved into the surrounding area near former Boeing operations. And all three companies have committed to leasing more than 50,000 square feet of space. Further, Sares-Regis has recently purchased some of Boeing surplus property, and it has initial plans to develop new modern industrial space targeted to other manufacturing-related tenants. 343 Market Analysis for Hunting Beach Research and Technology (RT) Zone The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. 8 FIGURE 4-1: DISTRIBUTION OF EMPLOYMENT BY MAJOR INDUSTRY GROUPING, CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH 0% 0% 0% 1% 1% 2% 2% 2% 2% 3% 3% 5% 6% 6% 7% 8% 9% 12% 14% 18% Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting Utilities Management of Companies and Enterprises Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation Transportation and Warehousing Information Public Administration Real Estate and Rental and Leasing Finance and Insurance Other Services (excluding Public Administration) Wholesale Trade Construction Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Administration & Support, Waste Management and… Educational Services Health Care and Social Assistance Retail Trade Accommodation and Food Services Manufacturing 344 Market Analysis for Hunting Beach Research and Technology (RT) Zone The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. 9 FIGURE 4-2: TOP 10 EMPLOYERS IN HUNTINGTON BEACH Source: City of Huntington Beach Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), 2017. Further illustrating the relative strength of the Manufacturing industry, Figure 4-3, on the following page, shows location quotients for existing Huntington Beach industries. A location quotient (LQ) compares the relative proportion of a given industry in the local economy to the proportion of total employment in that industry for a reference area, in this case the United States. If the proportions are equal, then the location quotient equals 1.0. For example, in Huntington Beach the Other Services (exc. Public Administration) industrial sector has a location quotient close to 1.0. This means that the proportion of Other Services employment in Huntington Beach is the same as the national average. A location quotient above 1.0 suggests that the local area possesses some sort of competitive advantage in that industry. The Manufacturing industry in Huntington Beach has a location quotient close to 2.0, meaning that as a percentage of the total workforce, close to two times as many jobs for that industry are located in Huntington Beach compared to the national average. These competitive advantages usually result from natural resource availability, locational characteristics, or any combination of labor force, supply chain or other market conditions. A location quotient less than 1.0 indicates that a given industry is under-represented in the Huntington Beach economy. This could represent an underserved market or could simply be a reflection of local market conditions. 343 348 381 480 527 550 555 584 641 3,829 Hilton Hotel Huntington Beach Quiksilver Huntington Valley Healthcare Walter's Electric Huntington Beach Hospital Cambro MFG Co.

These industries are shown on Table 4-1 on the following page. The table also shows the corresponding cluster to which each target industry belongs to. Consistent with standard approaches to regional economic analysis, this study broadens the traditional targeted industry analysis, and the City’s associated employment base, to industry clusters. Clusters are groups of inter- related industry sectors whose growth potentials within a region tend to be closely aligned. The tendency of individual industries to co-locate in clusters reflects linkages through supply-chain relationships, as well as commonalities in terms of workforce requirements and infrastructure needs. The concept of industry clusters is an effective framework for economic development programming since it reflects a holistic understanding of the regional economic conditions driving the growth or retraction of individual sectors. The economic clusters analyzed for this study are based on definitions (consisting of industry groupings) from the U.S. Cluster Mapping Project 13. In this system, detailed industry sectors are assigned to unique clusters based on linkages among the sectors. Per the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), the U.S. economy is composed of a total of approximately 1,100 detailed industry sectors at the “6-digit” level of detail (the most detailed level of industry specification under NAICS). The U.S. Cluster Mapping Project assigns each 6-digit sector to unique clusters based on the types of linkages described above. Clusters are classified as “local” clusters or “traded” clusters. Local clusters primarily provide goods and services for the local (resident) population. Traded clusters are “export-oriented,” engaged in producing goods and services for end-use customers outside the community, thereby having a more material role in producing wealth in the community than the Local clusters 14. The final column in Table 4-1 lists the detailed component industries in each cluster that belong to the eight broader target technology industries shown in the table. For example, the Electronic Product Manufacturing (NAICS 334) 3-digit NAICS industry includes 20 detailed 6-digit NAICS industries that belong to the Information and Technology and Analytical Instruments cluster 15. Following on, NAICS 334 also includes three 6-digit NAICS industries that belong to the Production Technology and Heavy Machinery cluster. In total, the NAICS 334 target technology industry is represented in four different clusters, as illustrated in Table 4-1. The Appendix table extends the analysis provided in Table 4-1 to “subclusters” that make up the larger cluster. 13 The U.S. Cluster Mapping Project provides county-level data and analytical tools for the major industry clusters composing the U.S. economy. It is led by Harvard Business School's Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness in partnership with United States Economic Development Administration. 14 As shown in Table 3-1, there is only one local cluster (Local Commercial Services) tied to the target technology industries identified in the Economic Development Trends report. 15 Electronic Computer Manufacturing (NAICS 334111), Computer Storage Device Manufacturing (NAICS 334112), and so on. 348 Market Analysis for Hunting Beach Research and Technology (RT) Zone The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. 13 TABLE 4-1: TARGET TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRIES IDENTIFIED IN HUNTINGTON BEACH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TRENDS REPORT INDUSTRIES CROSS REFERENCED WITH RELEVANT ECONOMIC CLUSTER NAICS Description Cluster Component Industries 334 Electronic Product Mfg.Information Technology and Analytical Instruments 20 Production Technology and Heavy Machinery 3 Communications Equipment and Services 3 Aerospace Vehicles and Defense 1 3364 Aerospace Products and Parts Mfg.Aerospace Vehicles and Defense 6 3254 Pharmaceutical and Medicine Mfg.Biopharmaceuticals 4 5112 Software Publishers Information Technology and Analytical Instruments 1 518 ISPs, Web Portals, and Data Processing Business Services 1 5415 Computer Systems Design and Services Business Services 4 5416 Management, Scientific, and Technical Consulting Business Services 5 Marketing, Design, and Publishing 1 Local Commercial Services 1 5417 Scientific R&D Services Education and Knowledge Creation 3 Source: Note:NAICS = North American Industrial Classification System.

Using this resource, Table 4-2, on the following page, provides summary Orange County employment data for the clusters identified in Table 4-1 above. It includes the following: • Total cluster employment in Orange County • Orange County’s rank for each cluster in terms of total employment (e.g., for all counties in the U.S., Orange County has the 5th highest amount of employment in both the Information Technology and Analytical Instruments and Production Technology and Heavy Machinery clusters) • High Specialization indicator – LQ of cluster employment is greater than the 75th percentile when measured across all counties (e.g., the Communications Equipment and Services LQ of 1.73 is greater than the LQ for this cluster in at least 75% of the counties in the U.S.) • High Employment Share – Share of national cluster employment is greater than the 90th percentile when measured across all counties (e.g., Orange County accounts for approximately 2.4% of national cluster employment in the Information Technology and Analytical Instruments cluster, which is a higher share for this cluster than 90% of the counties in the U.S.) • Location Quotient (LQ) – As discussed above in the previous section, a location quotient (LQ) compares the relative proportion of a given industry in the local economy to the proportion of total employment in the United States. Thus, an LQ>1.0 shows a higher than average cluster concentration in the region. • Job Change – absolute job change in the County during the 1998-2016 period • Expected Job Change – expected job change in the County given national growth trends for the 1998-2016 period In the U.S. Cluster Mapping project system, clusters that meet both the “High Specialization” and “High Employment Share” are classified as strong clusters. Table 4-2 shows that four clusters meet this strong cluster criteria: Information Technology and Analytical Instruments, Communications Equipment and Services, Marketing, Design, and Publishing, and Local Commercial Services. However, the table provides additional data to evaluate the relative attractiveness of the clusters beyond whether they meet the “strong” criteria. For example, although the Education and Knowledge Creation cluster does not meet the “High Specialization” (and correspondingly “strong” criteria), the cluster added well over 17,000 jobs during the 1998-2016 period. This increase in jobs was more than 2.6 times the expected job growth of 6,677 jobs given national growth trends. 350 Market Analysis for Hunting Beach Research and Technology (RT) Zone The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. 15 TABLE 4-2: ORANGE COUNTY EMPLOYMENT FOR SELECTED CLUSTERS IN 2016 CLUSTERS THAT INCLUDE IDENTIFIED TARGET TECHNOLOGY-RELATED INDUSTRIES Cluster OC Cluster Employment County Employment Rank Nationally High Employment Specialization High Employment Share LQ Job Change 1998-2016 Expected Job Change 1998-2016 Information Technology and Analytical Instruments 27,634 5 X X 1.87 -21,401 -13,220 Production Technology and Heavy Machinery 9,639 5 X 0.78 -2,199 -2,880 Communications Equipment and Services 9,697 4 X X 1.73 2,571 -918 Aerospace Vehicles and Defense 6,911 22 X 1.02 -11,632 -4,836 Biopharmaceuticals 6,504 6 X 2.04 1,407 708 Business Services 132,280 11 X 0.84 21,751 70,539 Marketing, Design, and Publishing 20,188 8 X X 1.15 5,254 3,581 Local Commercial Services 113,529 6 X X 1.13 1,870 22,205 Education and Knowledge Creation 27,596 20 X 0.68 17,396 6,677 Source: U.S. Cluster Mapping (http://clustermapping.us), Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, Harvard Business School; TNDG.

Summary of Findings and Insights from Local Stakeholders As part of this analysis, consulting team members participated in two stakeholder focus group meetings and a quarterly real estate brokers briefing/roundtable at the City’s offices. The meetings and roundtable included structured interviews and discussions with industrial brokers and developers, who have unique local market knowledge and experience in the local and larger regional market, along with key members of City staff. TNDG also conducted additional phone interviews with industrial market professionals active in Huntington Beach and surrounding market areas. Along with direct recommendations (both zoning/land use and general policy) summarized in the Executive Summary (Section 2), the interviews also revealed the following major themes with respect to the proposed RT zones: • Huntington Beach is a prime location for light manufacturing/light distribution uses, with many businesses participating across the entire economic value chain (e.g., from goods assembly, distribution, and final sales). In addition, the City is strongly situated to capture overflow demand from the South Bay and other regions in Los Angeles. Many industrial users are beginning to be “priced out” in these areas, and Huntington Beach is in a prime location to capture this demand. • The area has a significant number of entrepreneurs that could use appropriate industrial space. Related to this observation, some experts indicated that a potential mixed-use zone incorporating residential along with industrial uses (e.g., live/work) would represent a strong market development opportunity for the City (at least in some parts of the RT zones – potentially portions of the Gothard corridor)16. Such entrepreneurs with start-up type companies represent a market segment often drawn to this type of development. Given the pent-up demand for housing, and the existing concentration of independent businesses and smaller startups that are open to combining living and working environments, this would be a “no-brainer” from a market viability perspective 17. • Huntington Beach is lacking in reputation and other amenities (proximity to major research university, alternative transit options, innovative retail/entertainment districts, etc.) that make it difficult to attract some of the RT envisioned uses: technology, medical/life sciences, R&D, and advanced manufacturing18. The Gothard corridor represents an additional physical challenge in this respect, given the presence of small lots, which make it difficult to obtain the necessary 16 This has been successfully implemented in several residential overlays in transitional industrial districts in West Costa Mesa. 17 However, it is noted that the City’s official position is not to encourage residential development in the proposed RT zones. 18 Specific industries such as medical devices will always be a challenge for these districts. These types of users usually require a “higher-tech” look, characterized by more open space with grassy areas. It is challenging in infill- type development environments, such as Huntington Beach, to attract this type of development. 352 Market Analysis for Hunting Beach Research and Technology (RT) Zone The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. 17 space to create these types of creative industrial development projects. That said, staff is aware that small lots and fractionalized ownership nature represent significant development challenges in the Gothard corridor. However, the City is firmly committed to the long-term economic health of the corridor and acknowledges that desired change will be a long-term process. • It was generally argued that Irvine and the surrounding area near the airport would have significant advantages in attracting research/technology oriented industrial development. Factors cited included greater land availability and less expensive land; and proximity to the airport, other Research & Development uses, and the University of California, Irvine (UCI) campus. That said, given the available space, the 30 acres of the Boeing campus at Bolsa Chica Street and Bolsa Avenue (immediately adjacent to the RT designated areas), recently purchased by Sares-Regis would be a key opportunity to encourage this type of development in the City 19. Depending on the types of tenants that are ultimately attracted to this proposed project, it could potentially act as catalyst in redevelopment of other properties in the surrounding area. • Given the lack of population density, neither zone would likely be appropriate for a full-scale entertainment district with a primary focus on breweries, wineries, etc. (e.g., similar to the Funk Zone district in Santa Barbara). However, some local-employee serving restaurant/retail (potentially including a limited number of strategically placed breweries and/or wineries) would be appropriate for the area. • Some participants noted that auto-related uses (repair, customization, etc.) are a natural fit for the Gothard corridor, especially. With an entrenched "car culture" in the City (with some estimates 25% of households have a "classic/fun" car in addition to a daily driver), there is pent- up demand for anything auto-related. However, other market participants argued that some of the lower-value auto service/repair businesses represent an image problem in the two zones, and that higher-value RT-type tenants would prefer not to be located next to such uses. Thus, the City should be cognizant that there is potentially an inherent tension in promoting auto- related uses while simultaneously fostering the "high-tech" type image that some RT tenants would preferer for their locations. • The City received mainly positive comments concerning the overall development/entitlement process, especially with respect to more recent trends in the City becoming more “business friendly”. However, anything that can be done to further streamline the review process is always a positive force for encouraging new development. Most developers have 60-90 day timelines for due diligence activities, so anything the City can do to further reduce development timelines and uncertainty helps at the margin. • In addition to the electric service upgrades noted in the Executive Summary, potential strategic infrastructure upgrades would include other power/gas/water capacity upgrades to attract high- tech manufacturing users. Related to this issue, the ability to provide power from renewable 19 According to staff, the City is currently in discussions with Sares-Regis over potential development proposals/concepts on former Boeing campus site. 353 Market Analysis for Hunting Beach Research and Technology (RT) Zone The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. 18 sources would be valuable (including from an image/marketing perspective to RT-type industries). As with many areas, improvements to City’s high-speed internet infrastructure would be a strong selling point to attract RT-related industries 20. • Since Huntington Beach is traditionally not associated with high-tech and/or RT-related industries, some type of City-led marketing/branding campaign would be valuable to get the City’s name out there as potential fit for these businesses. One idea would be to provide an annual award to a top company in a key targeted industry. . 20 This is an issue the City is aware of, as shown by the recently completed Broadband Strategic Plan, prepared in August 2016. 354 Market Analysis for Hunting Beach Research and Technology (RT) Zone The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. 19 6. “Creative Industrial” Districts in California Table 6-1, on the following four pages, provides a summary matrix of other plan area/zoning districts in California that have some connection to the overall concept of “creative industrial” development.

The RT zone is a new zoning designation intended to be implemented in two areas of Huntington Beach currently designated Light Industrial and General Industrial. The existing physical and regulatory setting of these areas are described. Relevant regulations that have been successful in other communities are also detailed. Lessons learned from this analysis and the research into best practices intended to inform the draft zoning ordinance revisions. Businesses in the Gothard Corridor and Northwest Industrial Area, respectively 367 February 2019 2 1. Introduction Background The City of Huntington Beach is preparing regulations for the Research and Technology (RT) zone, a new zoning designation. The purpose of this report is to provide a land use analysis of the areas that will be included in the Research and Technology zone, including a review of existing policies and standards affecting industrial areas. In addition, this report includes case studies of other jurisdictions that have successfully implemented zoning regulations with a similar intent to this effort. The recently adopted General Plan update envisioned the transformation of two industrial areas to form the new Research and Technology zone. The purpose of the creation of this new zoning classification is to allow a broader mix of lower-intensity industrial and commercial uses that better meet market demands and capture employment growth in emerging fields. As described in the General Plan Land Use Element: The Research and Technology Designation provides for a wide variety of nonresidential mixed-use development in industrial areas that are undergoing or poised for transformation to support changing employment demand. The designation encourages both employment uses and commercial uses designed to accommodate employees while continuing to allow traditional industrial uses such as manufacturing and production. Uses include clean and green manufacturing (e.g., medical devices, solar panels), research and development, technology, warehousing, business parks, professional offices, limited eating and drinking establishments that have an industrial component (e.g., a brewery), restaurants and cafes to accommodate employment uses and surrounding residential neighborhoods, and similar neighborhood commercial uses. Community Outreach Public outreach serves a critical role in the shaping of the regulations of the RT zone. Outreach efforts included a presentation and discussion at the City-hosted Brokers Breakfast, two days of interviews with identified stakeholders, including local developers and business owners. The Research and Technology ordinance has been drafted based on the information found in this report, including best practices in place in other communities that may be applicable to these areas in Huntington Beach. A study session with Huntington Beach Planning Commission will be conducted to review and refine the draft ordinance. This session will be open to the public, and public input at this time is encouraged. In addition, the City of Huntington Beach website provides information regarding the rezoning effort and will continue to serve as a place for the City to post updates and information available to date. 368 City of Huntington Beach Technical Background Analysis 3 Companion Strategies While the scope of zoning addresses allowable land uses, development standards and review processes, additional strategies beyond zoning regulations may help further the General Plan vision for transformation of the RT zone and attract desirable employers. Such strategies include high-speed internet infrastructure, marketing and branding to entice investment, comprehensive mobility and parking improvements, public realm enhancements and other tools to reposition the area. As a companion effort to the rezoning, a market study has been prepared to evaluate market demand for different types of envisioned uses and provides findings and insights to further General Plan goals for the RT zone. Document Overview This report details the existing conditions in RT-designated areas, including the urban form, existing uses, and circulation. It also reviews the existing framework of regulation affecting the areas now designated RT, including General Plan policies, zoning standards, and any state regulation. In order to better understand how similar zones have been implemented in other communities, this report examines the zoning regulations applied in several other jurisdictions throughout California. Northwest Industrial Area Building 369 February 2019 4 2. Physical Setting The two primary areas of envisioned transformation are the Northwest Industrial Area and the Gothard Corridor. Both of these areas are industrial in nature, however, their physical characteristics are distinct. The following sections describe the typical development pattern, urban form, neighboring uses, and available transportation in the respective areas. Figures 1 and 2 depict aerial photographs with RT zone boundaries for the Northwest Industrial Area and Gothard Corridor, respectively. Figure 2: Gothard Corridor Figure 1: Northwest Industrial Area 370 City of Huntington Beach Technical Background Analysis 5 Northwest Industrial Area The Northwest Industrial Area is 760 acres in size and includes some parcels between Bolsa Avenue to the north, Edinger Avenue to the south, Springdale Street to the east, and Bolsa Chica Street to the west. The Northwest Industrial Area consists of many larger lots, ranging from 15,000 square feet to 6 acres with a median of 0.61 acres, and large single and two-story industrial buildings. North of this area are very large, campus-like lots currently occupied by Boeing and Zodiac Aerospace. To the east, west, and south are single and multi-family residential neighborhoods. Also adjacent is the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge to the west. Figure 3 shows the location of General Plan land use designations for the Northwest Industrial Area (RT-designated parcels) as well as for surrounding uses. Figure 3: Northwest Industrial Area General Plan Land Use Designations 371 February 2019 6 Transportation within this area is primarily vehicular. Streets are fairly wide, with abundant street parking. As shown in Figure 4, bicycle facilities are currently limited to Class II bike lanes along the corridors—Bolsa Avenue, Graham Street, McFadden Avenue, Springdale Street, Bolsa Chica Street from McFadden south, and Edinger Avenue. A paved, off-road bike path is provided in front of Marina High School and Marina Park. Figure 4: Northwest Industrial Area Bicycle Facilities (City Bikeways Map) Existing uses in the Northwest Industrial area are primarily related to automotive, manufacturing, supply, and storage. However, uses are not limited to those of a traditional industrial nature—many uses can be categorized as service, retail, and office. A complete summary of the types of businesses and their frequency is provided in the appendix. 372 City of Huntington Beach Technical Background Analysis 7 Gothard Corridor The Gothard Corridor is 466 acres in size and consists of parcels along Gothard Street (mostly on the east side of the street) from just south of Edinger Avenue to the north and Ellis Avenue to the south. The Gothard Corridor consists of mostly small lots with a few exceptions. Lot sizes range from 871 square feet to 9 acres with a median of 0.41 acres. Building stock consists of multi-tenant buildings and a few industrial parks. This area is surrounded by residential areas of varying density and character, industrial areas, and public uses, including Ocean View High School. Given the proximity to more sensitive uses, such as residential buildings and schools, land use compatibility is an important consideration. Transportation in this area is also primarily vehicular. Gothard Street is a busy, four lane thoroughfare. The side-streets included in this area are generally fairly narrow, and street parking is extremely well- utilized during normal business hours. Class II bike lanes are available along Gothard Street. Access to transportation from the Gothard area is best served by the Goldenwest Transportation Center, which is located just north of the RT area on Center Street off of Gothard Street. The Golden West Transportation Center provides free public parking for those taking public bus transportation for the following Orange County Transit Authority routes: La Habra - Huntington Beach via Beach Blvd, OCTA 66 Huntington Beach - Irvine via McFadden, Walnut OCTA 70 Sunset Beach - Tustin via Edinger Ave OCTA 211 Figure 5: Gothard Corridor Land Use Figure 6: Gothard Corridor Bicycle Facilities 373 February 2019 8 Seal Beach - Irvine Express via 405 Freeway OCTA 701 Huntington Beach - Los Angeles Express via 405 Freeway, 605 Freeway, 105 Freeway, 110 Freeway. Existing uses in the Gothard Corridor area are primarily auto repair facilities, warehousing, manufacturing, storage, and office. While largely characterized by traditional industrial uses, there are also many office-related uses. A complete summary of the types of businesses and their frequency is provided in the appendix. Gothard Corridor Business Northwest Industrial Area Buildings 374 City of Huntington Beach Technical Background Analysis 9 3. Regulatory Setting The new RT areas are subject to regulations at the state and local level. State regulations include the California Building Code and the California Fire Code. The Huntington Beach General Plan details the goals and policies of the City, including those related to the vision of the RT zone. Lastly, the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) provides detailed development standards and use regulations for these areas. State Regulation The California Building Code and California Fire Code provide regulations that may impact a building’s change of use. Issues addressed by these codes include building construction, separation of uses and permit requirements, among other items. General Plan The Huntington Beach General Plan, updated in 2017, paved the way for the implementation of the Research and Technology Zone. The Land Use Element of the General Plan highlights the RT-designated areas as the only “areas of change” in the City, as depicted in Figure 7. Northwest Industrial Area Building 375 February 2019 10 Figure 7: Land Use Element Areas of Change The General Plan describes “transform” areas as areas that consist of underdeveloped or underutilized portions of the planning area, where current developments might not adequately support future City goals. The implementation of the RT zone is meant to enable development that is compatible with overall City goals. Furthermore, the General Plan Land Use Element identifies Community Subareas, with Gothard Street and the Northwest Industrial Areas being Technology and Innovation Subareas. These subareas are described as having higher anticipated building intensity, but with processes and operations that produce fewer potential air quality and noise impacts on neighboring uses than conventional industrial uses. Notably, the General Plan allows a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of up to 1.0, an increase from 0.75 under the Industrial designation. This increase is based on the understanding that while this allows for a greater average building intensity than that of a traditional industrial use, 376 City of Huntington Beach Technical Background Analysis 11 the processes and operations of such uses are intended to have fewer potential air quality and noise impacts on surrounding sensitive uses. Additionally, traditional industrial uses within this zone will maintain a 0.75 FAR. General Plan goals and policies provide further support for the creation of the RT zone. Policies related to these goals provide action items to support these goals. The following goals and policies directly address the RT zone. Goal LU-5. Industrial businesses provide employment opportunities for residents, supporting the local economy. Policies A. Support and attract new businesses in the city’s industrial areas. B. Encourage clean, less intensive industrial development in areas identified in the planning area. C. Ensure proposed development and uses in industrial areas contribute to the City’s economic development objectives and do not minimize existing uses. D. Explore opportunities to optimize use of underutilized or underperforming industrial land that is sensitive to surrounding uses, and to introduce new industrial uses that create jobs. E. Encourage and assist existing and potential industrial owners to update, modernize, and expand their industrial properties. Goal LU-9. Industrial uses provide job opportunities for existing and future residents, as well as the surrounding region, while generating revenue for the city. Policies A. Establish technology or innovation districts, such as the Gothard Street Subarea and the Northwest Industrial Subarea, where technology infrastructure is provided specifically to support existing and new businesses. B. Support the provision of technology infrastructure and services to supply necessary technological and communication tools for existing and new industry and businesses. C. Provide opportunities for new start-up businesses to develop innovative products and services in a business incubator environment. D. Support the ability for future industrial uses to accommodate new flexible work programs. 377 February 2019 12 Goal LU-10. The City aggressively retains and enhances existing industrial businesses and technology businesses while attracting new firms to the city. Policies A. Provide incentives to retain, expand, and capture new businesses, including research and development industries and start-ups. B. Promote the creation of jobs with increasing wage opportunities within the community. C. In partnership with regional, state, and federal agencies, provide workforce programs that facilitate workforce diversity in the city through expanded labor force training and hiring practices. D. Maximize the economic development services provided by the City to existing and prospective businesses and industries. Goal LU-12. Commercial and industrial corridors throughout the planning area are renovated and revitalized. Policies A. Establish in the Urban Design Guidelines that nonresidential buildings and sites be designed to be consistent with and use low-impact design techniques. B. Encourage renovation and revitalization of deteriorating and struggling nonresidential areas and corridors, particularly commercial locations. C. Expand shuttle services and pedestrian linkages between adjoining business areas, particularly along the coast, where a greater flow of local shoppers and visitors is encouraged. D. Seek opportunities to encourage the creation of business improvement districts or other economic development strategies where coordination and financing of mutually shared, enhanced services can increase business potential for all. Goal LU-13. The city provides opportunities for new businesses and employees to ensure a high quality of life and thriving industry. Policies A. Encourage expansion of the range of goods and services provided to accommodate the needs of all residents and the market area. B. Capture emerging industries such as, but not limited to, “knowledge”-based industries and research and development firms. C. Support development of new commercial and industrial projects and retrofits of existing buildings. 378 City of Huntington Beach Technical Background Analysis 13 D. Improve transit and other alternative transportation options, including shuttles and safe bicycle routes, for employees who live and work in the community. E. Do not preclude future mobility technologies in land use planning. Existing Industrial Zoning The Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) provides the existing zoning regulation for the RT areas. The areas that are transitioning to the RT zoning designation are currently zoned Limited Industrial (IL) in the Northwest Industrial Area, and General Industrial (IG) in the Gothard Corridor. Applicable zoning regulations can be found in Title 21 of the Zoning Code, Base Districts, Chapter 212 Industrial Districts. Also, Title 23, Provisions Applying in All or Several Districts, Chapter 230, Site Standards, and Chapter 233, Signs. In general, the Zoning Ordinance is organized into 6 sections: Title 20, General Provisions, Title 21, Base Districts, Title 22, Overlay Districts, Title 23, Provisions Applying In All or Several Districts, and Title 25, Subdivisions. The majority of the regulations pertaining to the current zones can be found in Title 21, Base Districts, Chapter 212, I Industrial Districts. Section 212.04, Land Use Controls. The process for project submittal and approval is dependent on how the use is permitted. The IG and IL districts classify uses as follows: Permitted (P), Limited (L), Conditional use permit approved by Planning Commission (PC), Conditional Use Permit approved by Zoning Administrator (ZA), Temporary Use Permit (TU), Requires conditional use permit on site of conditional use (P/U), or Not permitted (-). Additionally, chapter 241 of the Zoning Code, Conditional Use Permits and Variances—Temporary Use Permits—Waiver of Development Standards, details the process for obtaining conditional and temporary use permits. Both sections are provided in the Appendices (A and B) for further reference. Development standards are established in section 212.06, IG and IL Districts— Development Standards. The IG and IL zoning designations allow for similar development patterns, with nuances that distinguish the two. The IG zone is designed to provide sites for the full range of manufacturing, industrial processing, resource and energy production, general service, and distribution. The IL zone is designed to provide sites for moderate- to low-intensity industrial uses, commercial services and light manufacturing. These zoning districts share many similarities in development standards and allowed uses. Uses allowed in both districts include public and semipublic uses, commercial uses, industrial uses, and temporary uses. Industrial uses classified as custom, general, limited, research and development, and warehousing, distribution, and storage are all permitted in both districts. Many of the other types of uses are conditionally permitted based on varying levels of review. 379 February 2019 14 Development standards in both districts are similar, requiring buildings to be setback from the street, with relatively low building intensity. The minimum lot area required in both districts is 20,000 square feet, with a minimum lot width of 100 feet. Setbacks are a minimum of 10 feet in front, 10 feet on the street side, and 0 feet in the rear. Side setback distance in the IG district is 0 feet, while the IL district requires 15 feet. Both districts allow 40-foot maximum building height and 0.75 maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR). A table summarizing current development standards and a comparison with relevant standards in other communities is available in Section 4, Case Studies. 4. Stakeholder Feedback In order to better inform the development of the RT zone regulations, City-identified stakeholders were interviewed. These key community members and industry market professionals were invited to discuss their experience with zoning regulation both in Huntington Beach as well as lessons that can be applied from neighboring communities and other Southern California research and technology settings. Feedback received during these meetings were reviewed and grouped into common topics of discussions, or themes. Themes included development standards, use regulations, parking regulations, and process. Other observations on topics that may not be included in the scope of the Research and Technology Zone are also included. Crafting Standards for the Right Type of Building—Development Standards • Buildings should be flexible • Businesses needing 75-100,000 sf or more Huntington Beach are no longer an option • Only ten 100,000 sf buildings in HB, but 5 are build to suite • Need bigger buildings, can be divided • 1.0 FAR for industrial is more than typically needed, 2 stories is not as workable • Generally nothing over .5 FAR—otherwise they have to start compromising • Cube Square-like buildings, or cube space is desirable—want to raise a building’s roof to 30-32 feet, 36 feet max for specialty • 40-foot height limit, 45 with HVAC • Flexibility in process and building form • 1,500 - 3,000 sf is the target • Brewery originally in one building, then needed a second building shortly after • 25,000 sf is the “sweetspot” for start-ups • Favor a form-based approach—just need to understand the building shell and parking • Need performance standards • Increase landscaping requirement 380 City of Huntington Beach Technical Background Analysis 15 • Desire for different regulations near sensitive uses, including parks, schools, and residential • Activities should be enclosed and 55 dBA noise limit should be considered at residential property line • Architectural treatments should be used to improve building façade • Landscaping is important • .75 to 1.0 FAR should be reserved for lot consolidation • Signage standards are important, and consistency is important • Need lighting and odor standards • Ceilings should be more than 14 ft. if possible—truck doors start at 12 ft. Anticipating Viable and Modern Uses—Use Regulations • Light manufacturing/distribution—big trucks in, little trucks out. Receives material from the port, reassembles and distributes on a smaller scale • Doesn’t view Huntington Beach as a heavy distribution hub • Never really too much office • Existing BBQ business is 10% office • R&D is up to 30% office, 2.5-3 per 1,000 sf for parking • Doesn’t see the demand for R&D in Huntington Beach • Employee-serving retail — coffee, sandwiches • Brewery is a good model, since it is close to residential areas • Heavy automotive demand, car restoration • If the City can identify any areas to convert to industrial, they should do that • Concerned with limitations on uses • Doesn’t see distribution uses coming in here • Needed outdoor storage • Need employee recreating areas, amenities • Huntington Beach has a car culture. 15% of the businesses on Gothard are auto- related. • Concern over too many broad uses • Breweries cause odors and should be avoided • Desire to see clean and green uses including technology uses and biomed • High-end auto shops are good tenants • Increase in recreational uses • Allow some retail i.e. showrooms • Need common areas for employees • Possibility of live-work • Would like “employee enhancement” for day care, food, recreation, etc. 381 February 2019 16 Planning for a Shift in Mobility—Parking Regulations • Look at the potential of putting parking on the roof • RT uses: For example, need 96 parking spaces to fulfill the requirement, but only 30 employees at any given time • Parking standards need to be flexible; parking is the biggest issue • C&D Aerospace never had enough parking, now they lease space from Boeing • Tenants put storage in the parking area • Estimate 60-70% of tenants in the northwest area don’t use all their parking • Parking is an issue. Possibility of instating a shared parking program or shuttle since there is underutilized parking nearby • Much of the parking in the Gothard Corridor is being used for storage • Parking is the number one issue in the Gothard Area Balancing Needs—Process • Prefers use classifications rather than lists • People need clarity and certainty • RT industry needs a quick turn-around and expedited permitting Planning for the Future—General Observations and Suggestions • City of Corona, 35-acre site. They have one contact at the City that helps them move them through all the departments • Need tenants to be able to get business licenses • A lot of tenants want to be owners • Flexibility in renovation of existing buildings • Regional water quality requirements are strict when it comes to expanding, the cost and time makes it equivalent to beginning a whole new project • Northwest Industrial Area’s advantage is their proximity to the 405 freeway • Views HB as a city of walls, most of it is disconnected • Press to incentivize clean energy. Encourage renewable sources. • Work with utilities to increase available infrastructure, core industrial gases • Needs revitalization of some sort, personality • When companies with hazardous materials leave, the site is contaminated • New projects along Gothard and Edinger required replaced or upsized sewer infrastructure so they are now at excess capacity • Irvine research and technology and research and development • Emphasis should be on building maintenance, the buildings themselves still look good though they are older • Access to high-speed internet and fiberoptic infrastructure is essential • Utilities should be undergrounded 382 City of Huntington Beach Technical Background Analysis 17 5. Case Studies Examples from other jurisdictions of the implementation of Research and Technology or related zones was analyzed for this report. Examples were drawn from both neighboring cities as well as communities that are further from Huntington Beach that provide relevant zoning examples. A summary of all related development standards is attached in the appendix. Case studies included The McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan in Huntington Beach, the Industrial District in Anaheim, the Medical Science District in Irvine, the Industrial Park District in San Diego, the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan in El Segundo, the Tech Industrial District in Fremont, the Industrial Park District in San Leandro, the Industrial Professional District in San Carlos, the Research and Development Campus in Union City. The McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan in Huntington Beach is included as a case study based on staff feedback regarding its effectiveness in process and standards. The Specific Plan covers the area directly north of the Northwest Industrial Area. The development standards are designed for larger lot sizes and are overall fairly similar to the existing Industrial standards. Setback requirements are larger in this Specific Plan, with a front setback requirement of 20 feet minimum. The Anaheim Industrial (I) District and the Irvine Medical Science Districts were selected based on stakeholder identification as desirable communities to develop in. The Industrial (I) district in Anaheim is a traditional industrial zoning designation, while the Medical Science district in Irvine is more specific, with intended uses including general research and development and medical research and education. The development standards in both of these districts allow for fairly large development. The maximum building height in Anaheim’s Industrial district is up to 100 feet (except when neighboring residential), while Irvine’s Medical Science Districts allow up to 120 feet in some areas. Parking standards in these districts are close to those in the current Huntington Beach Industrial Districts. San Diego’s Industrial Park (IP-1-1) district was also identified as an example of innovative industrial zoning in southern California. The development standards are shaped so that the emphasis is on comprehensive site design. Setbacks are larger and landscaping is required. El Segundo’s Smoky Hollow Specific Plan is a relatively local example of a recently implemented plan to transition a traditional industrial area to support existing economic trends and demand for research and technology space. This example is especially relevant to Huntington Beach, as the trends and setting are very similar. The FAR in the Specific Plan Area is 0.75, with a minimum of 3% of the lot landscaped. 383 February 2019 18 Fremont, San Leandro, San Carlos, and Union City are all examples of Bay Area cities looking to attract more research and technology uses. Interestingly, the development standards for these districts vary widely, with FAR ranging from .35 to 2.0. The maximum height in Fremont, San Carlos, and Union City are all fairly high at 75-100 feet. These cities all have design standards pertaining to outdoor storage and equipment screening. Many require pedestrian or bicycle facilities, and lighting plans. 384 City of Huntington Beach Technical Background Analysis 19 This page left intentionally blank 385 RT Zone: Development Standards Comparison Table City Anaheim Irvine San Diego Fremont San Leandro San Carlos Union City District General Industrial (IG)Limited Industrial (IL) McDonnell Centre Business Park Industrial (I)5.5 Medical Science Industrial Park (IP- 1-1)Tech Industrial (I-T) Industrial Park (IP) Industrial Professional (IP) Research and Development Campus (RDC) Relation to HB RT Zone Existing zoning district in Gothard Corridor Existing zoning district in Northwest Industrial Area Specific plan standards and process is effective in allowing the type of development the City wants to see Feedback from stakeholders indicated that Anaheim standards and process was effective Feedback from stakeholders indicated that Irvine standards and process was effective Example of recently implemented standards to transition from traditional industrial into a zone that supports research and technology uses Example of recently implemented standards to transition from traditional industrial into a zone that supports research and technology uses Example of recently implemented standards to transition from traditional industrial into a zone that supports research and technology uses Example of recently implemented standards to transition from traditional industrial into a zone that supports research and technology uses Example of recently implemented standards to transition from traditional industrial into a zone that supports research and technology uses Purpose/Description The IG General Industrial District provides sites for the full range of manufacturing, industrial processing, resource and energy production, general service, and distribution The IL Limited Industrial District provides sites for moderate- to low- intensity industrial uses, commercial services and light manufacturing The purpose of this section is to provide specific development regulations and standards that will be applied to individual development projects in each Planning Area of the Specific Plan. Upon adoption by the City of Huntington Beach, the McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan will be the zoning document for the project area. The intent of the “I” Industrial Zone is to provide for and encourage the development of industrial uses and their related facilities, recognize the unique and valuable existing industrial land resources, and encourage industrial employment opportunities within the City. Targeted industries include research and development, repair services, wholesale activities, distribution centers, and manufacturing and fabrication. In some situations, other types of uses are allowed with a conditional use permit. This zone implements the Industrial land use designation in the General Plan. This category allows the development of a biomedical/high technology complex combining health care facilities and related businesses, medical research and education, general research and development, and light manufacturing and assembly in one master planned area. The purpose of the IP zones is to provide for high quality science and business park development. The property development standards of this zone are intended to create a campus-like environment characterized by comprehensive site design and substantial landscaping. Restrictions on permitted uses and signs are provided to minimize commercial influence. IP-1-1 allows research and development uses with some limited manufacturing Smoky Hollow West Smoky Hollow East The purpose of the I-T district is to provide areas devoted to research and development activities, “clean and green” tech, and semi- conductor, computer hardware, software and related technological, administrative, sales, and engineering facilities. Within this district certain Group A, B, and C hazardous materials uses, and manufacturing and/or the storage of particularly large sizes/quantities of hazardous materials (Section 18.190.220, High intensity hazardous materials users), are regulated to minimize potential for off-site impacts. Within this area, only certain nonsensitive assembly, business service, and nonsensitive recreational uses may be permitted due to uses that handle hazardous materials. The I-T district is characterized by superior architectural and landscaping treatment and site planning. To provide and protect industrial lands for the development in a landscaped setting of communities of high technology, research and development facilities, limited industrial activities (including production and assembly but not raw materials processing or bulk handling), small-scale warehousing and distribution, industrial office centers, certain types of specified retail sales, and related uses. This district is intended for large or campus-like office and technology development that includes office, research and development, manufacturing, and other large-scale, professional uses. Permitted uses include incubator research facilities, prototype manufacturing, testing, repairing, packaging, and printing as well as offices and research facilities. Accessory or secondary small-scale retail uses that serve local employees and visitors are also permitted. The purpose of the RDC district is to provide space for a flexible range of activities which have low or no nuisance characteristics. This district supports “flex” space that can be adapted to office, research and development, and service/sales uses. In addition, it allows for manufacturing uses consistent with the light industrial designation. The RDC district is a more dense development designation because it is in close proximity to the BART station and the station district. This designation is applied where it is intended to intensify industrial development over a period of years.

Upon adoption by the City of Huntington Beach, the McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan will be the zoning document for the project area. The intent of the “I” Industrial Zone is to provide for and encourage the development of industrial uses and their related facilities, recognize the unique and valuable existing industrial land resources, and encourage industrial employment opportunities within the City. Targeted industries include research and development, repair services, wholesale activities, distribution centers, and manufacturing and fabrication. In some situations, other types of uses are allowed with a conditional use permit. This zone implements the Industrial land use designation in the General Plan. This category allows the development of a biomedical/high technology complex combining health care facilities and related businesses, medical research and education, general research and development, and light manufacturing and assembly in one master planned area. The purpose of the IP zones is to provide for high quality science and business park development. The property development standards of this zone are intended to create a campus-like environment characterized by comprehensive site design and substantial landscaping. Restrictions on permitted uses and signs are provided to minimize commercial influence. IP-1-1 allows research and development uses with some limited manufacturing Smoky Hollow West Smoky Hollow East The purpose of the I-T district is to provide areas devoted to research and development activities, “clean and green” tech, and semi- conductor, computer hardware, software and related technological, administrative, sales, and engineering facilities. Within this district certain Group A, B, and C hazardous materials uses, and manufacturing and/or the storage of particularly large sizes/quantities of hazardous materials (Section 18.190.220, High intensity hazardous materials users), are regulated to minimize potential for off-site impacts. Within this area, only certain nonsensitive assembly, business service, and nonsensitive recreational uses may be permitted due to uses that handle hazardous materials.

This district is intended for large or campus-like office and technology development that includes office, research and development, manufacturing, and other large-scale, professional uses. Permitted uses include incubator research facilities, prototype manufacturing, testing, repairing, packaging, and printing as well as offices and research facilities. Accessory or secondary small-scale retail uses that serve local employees and visitors are also permitted. The purpose of the RDC district is to provide space for a flexible range of activities which have low or no nuisance characteristics. This district supports “flex” space that can be adapted to office, research and development, and service/sales uses. In addition, it allows for manufacturing uses consistent with the light industrial designation. The RDC district is a more dense development designation because it is in close proximity to the BART station and the station district.

Parking This section reviews existing off-street parking regulations as well regulations applied for comparable zones in other cities. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) research and recommendations are also considered for applicability to the new Research and Technology zone. Parking regulations may need to be amended to provide flexibility and reflect the needs of envisioned uses. Existing Regulations The Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) governs land uses and development regulations including off-street parking. Section 212.04 governs existing Limited Industrial (IL) and General Industrial (IG) zoning designations for the rezone area and references Chapter 231 for Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements. Relevant existing parking requirements are summarized in the table below and range from 1 space per 200 square feet to 1 space to 2,000 square feet depending upon the building use. An additional development standard relating to off-street parking and loading currently for the IG and IL zones is identified as note J: Truck or rail loading, dock facilities, and the doors for such facilities shall not be visible from or be located within 45 feet of an R district.

Related regulations address vehicular access in Section 231.18 (Design Standards) which require all off-street parking spaces to have access to a public street or alley, and to have internal circulation, safe entrances and exits, drives, and aisles in conformance with City standards. Further, Section 231.20 (Bicycle Parking) provides bicycle parking requirements for nonresidential uses as well as residential uses. Warner-Gothard Center 393 City of Huntington Beach Technical Background Analysis 27 Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Parking Generation ITE Parking Generation (4th Edition) currently does not establish a specific parking generation rate for a research and technology classification. However, Land Use 110 General Light Industrial and Land Use 130 Industrial Park provide for the closest comparable uses and rates provided below. The database relied upon for development of these rates consisted of a mix of suburban and urban sites. Parking demand rates at the suburban sites were similar to those at urban sites and, therefore, the data were combined and analyzed together. • Land Use 110 (General Light Industrial) - Weekday per 1,000 gross square ft ranges from 0.36 to 1.19 parking space (or 1 space per 360 sf to 1,190 sf). • Land Use 130 (Industrial Park) – Weekday per 1,000 gross square ft ranges from 0.55 to 2.44 parking space (or 1 space per 550 sf to 2,440 sf). Parking Requirements Comparison with Other Cities In addition, a survey of parking rates in other comparable jurisdictions was conducted. As part of the evaluation of comparable zoning regulations in other jurisdictions provided earlier in this report, parking standards are also summarized in Table 1. Additional cities with relevant high-tech and research and development districts were also evaluated for relevant parking strategies and generation rates. These include the cities of Mountain View, Clovis, San Jose and Santa Clara. The cities of Clovis and Mountain View have prepared comprehensive reports addressing parking and other requirements for research and development uses. Briefly, the following generation rates were identified for these four additional cities: • City of Clovis: One space per 350 sf for research and development • City of Mountain View: One space per 250 sf for research and development • City of San Jose: One space per 350 sf for research and development • County of Santa Clara: One space per 350 sf plus 1 per employee for research and development (agricultural) In summary the existing parking ratios required for the City of Huntington Beach fall within the standard practices for the range of uses envisioned in the RT zone. Potential Parking Strategies While existing parking ratio regulations are within industry standards, flexibility, streamlined processes, and strategies to address a mix of uses onsite and the envisioned future uses was identified by stakeholders as a priority for the RT zone area. In addition, stakeholder feedback noted that some areas of the study area are characterized by 394 February 2019 28 abundant parking while other areas are challenged to provide adequate parking onsite. Preliminary considerations and strategies are provided below: • Mixed and Accessory Uses. For mixed and accessory uses, the total requirement for off-street parking spaces would be the sum of the requirements of the various uses on the site except as provided in existing regulations. However, for square footage dedicated to accessory uses occupying no more than thirty (30) percent of the gross floor area, this area could be subject to the same parking requirements of the primary use of the building in which it is located. • Transit and Bicycle Parking. Parking reductions of five (5) percent by staff should be considered if the property is near a bus route and less than 600 feet from a bus stop or a minimum for three (3) bicycle racks are provided for employees (on site or in a secure area). • Minor Reduction. Additional parking reductions may be considered up to ten (10) percent through Zoning Administrator review and approval via a parking study prepared by a registered traffic engineer supporting findings that the provided parking is adequate. Alternatively, the level of review could be adjusted to be more ministerial and only require approval by staff or could be adjusted to be more rigorous with approval required at the Planning Commission level. The study may include alternative modes of transportation such as bicycles, scooters, or other types of motorized personal means of transportation that is allowed by the City. The applicant should provide documentation to make the following parking study findings (the findings could be modified): o That the reduction, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not cause fewer off-street parking spaces to be provided for the proposed use than the number of such spaces necessary to accommodate all vehicles attributable to such use under the normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation of such use; o That the reduction, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand and competition for parking spaces upon public streets in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use; o That the reduction, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase the demand and competition for parking spaces upon adjacent property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use (which property is not expressly provided as parking for such use; 395 City of Huntington Beach Technical Background Analysis 29 o That the reduction, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not increase traffic congestion within the off-street parking areas or lots provided for the proposed use; and o That the reduction, under the conditions imposed, if any, will not impede vehicular ingress or egress from adjacent properties upon the public streets in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use. • Comprehensive Approach. The City could undertake a longer-range, comprehensive approach to parking and mobility by supporting extension of active transportation in the study area including bicycle and pedestrian facilities and expanding transit systems and accommodations for ridesharing services. Such implementing actions could effectively reduce the parking demand onsite for individual businesses. In addition, to optimize utilization of parking, a local-serving shuttle could provide the opportunity for employees to park offsite at underutilized areas (perhaps surplus parking on the Boeing site) and easily access workplaces as well as supporting commercial uses (such as lunch vendors). While these strategies are beyond the rezoning effort, such approaches could contribute to making the area more attractive for investment by envisioned research and technology businesses. 7. Wi-Fi, Broadband and Fiber Optic Infrastructure A critical element for the success of envisioned clean-tech uses in the new RT zone is the provision of high-speed internet services and supporting infrastructure. While not necessarily a part of the rezoning effort, background is provided in this section as high- speed internet is an important to the attraction and success of desired businesses. The City’s Broadband Strategic Plan (August 2016) provides a high-level strategic plan that explores options for maximizing the economic development benefits of the City's existing broadband infrastructure, integrating potential future broadband projects with the City's broader economic development planning, and meeting the broadband connectivity needs of business in the City. Broadband is internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. It is generally defined as at least 25Mbps (Megabits per second) download (coming from a service) and 3Mbps upload (sending to a service). Broadband internet service is the most used form of internet access because of its high access speeds; in Huntington Beach it is offered in many forms, DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), fiber optic, cable tv, cellular broadband or microware/satellite. 396 February 2019 30 The Broadband Strategic Plan identifies a number of strategies and methods to improve high-speed internet access including: coordination of improvements with other capital projects for cost efficiencies, building networks to City-owned properties, potential pilot projects with private partners, and potential long-term revenue opportunities. To support implementation of high-speed internet access, the City recently acquired 11,000 streetlights from Southern California Edison (SCE). These new vertical assets provide opportunities for the implementation and installation of smart city initiatives and the collaboration between the City and the telecommunications industry as they seek to deploy small cell technology. In September 2017 the City revised the Zoning Code for the permitting of small cell technology in the public right-of-way. The purpose of this revision was to streamline the process for permitting small cells that meet City design standards within the public right-of-way. In addition, the City has created a Fiber Master Plan that outlines priority areas for fiber optic network improvements. Within the RT zone area as of October 2018, fiber optic infrastructure has been placed along a segment of Gothard Street south of Warner Avenue. Future phases are planned along Bolsa Chica Street, Springdale Street, Graham Street and Edinger Avenue in the Northwest Industrial Area and along additional segments of Gothard Street, Warner Avenue, and Slater Avenue in vicinity of the Gothard Corridor. As additional high-speed internet infrastructure becomes available, the RT zone area will become increasingly attractive to envisioned research and technology uses. 397 City of Huntington Beach Technical Background Analysis 31 A.

(M) Group residential or accessory residential uses shall be subject to standards for minimum setbacks and height of the RH District. (3254-10/94, 4039-12/14) 241.02 Procedures Established This chapter establishes procedures for approval, conditional approval, or disapproval of applications for conditional use permits, and variances, temporary use permits, and waivers of development standards, and neighborhood notification. A. Conditional use permits are required for use classifications typically having unusual site development features or operating characteristics requiring special consideration so that they may be designed, located, and operated compatibly with uses on adjoining properties and in the surrounding area. B. Variances may be granted to resolve practical difficulties or unnecessary physical hardsh ips that may result from the size, shape, or dimensions of a site or the location of existing structures 406 February 2019 40 thereon; from geographic, topographic, or other physical conditions on the site or in the immediate vicinity; or from street locations or traffic conditions in the immediate vicinity of the site. Variances may be granted with respect to fences, walls, landscaping, screening, site area, site dimensions, yards, height of structures, distances between structures, open space, off -street parking and off-street loading, and performance standards.

The Planning Commission shall act on all variances except the Zoning Administrator may act on variances not exceeding 20% deviation from site coverage, separation between buildings, height, setback, parking, and landscape requirements. (3334-6/97, 3410-3/99, 3712-6/05) 241.06 Initiation Applications for conditional use permits and variances shall be initiated by submitting an application and necessary accompanying data as prescribed by the director and the required fee. 241.08 Notice and Public Hearing A. Public Hearing and Notice Required. The Planning Commission or Zoning Administrator shall hold a duly-noticed public hearing on an application for a conditional use permit or variance consistent with the requirements of Chapter 248. B. Multiple Applications. When applications for multiple conditional use permits or variances on a single site are filed at the same time, the director may schedule a combined public hearing. 241.10 Required Findings An application for a conditional use permit or variance may be approved or conditionally approved if, on the basis of the application, plans, materials, and testimony submitted, the Planning Commission or Zoning Administrator finds that: A. For All Conditional Use Permits. 1. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the use will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity nor detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. 407 City of Huntington Beach Technical Background Analysis 41 2. The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan. 3. The proposed use will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20 through 25 and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located. B. For Variances. 1. The granting of a variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. 2. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classification. 3. The granting of a variance is necessary to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. 4. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property in the same zone classification and is consistent with the General Plan. C. Mandatory Denial. Failure to make all the required findings under subsection A or B of this section shall require denial of the application. 241.12 Conditions of Approval In approving a conditional use permit or variance, conditions may be imposed as necessary to: A.

Staff recommended approval of the project with suggested findings and conditions of approval to the Planning Commission. On June 11, 2019, the Planning Commission voted to deny the project. The property owner, Tahir Salim, filed a timely appeal, per Section 248.20 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO), of the Planning Commission’s decision on June 20, 2019. Per Section 248.20(D) “De Novo Hearing”, “The reviewing body shall hear the appeal as a new matter. The original applicant has the burden of proof. The reviewing body may act upon the application, either granting it, conditionally granting it or denying it, irrespective of the precise grounds or scope of the appeal. In addition to considering the testimony and evidence presented at the hearing on the appeal, the reviewing body shall consider all pertinent information from the file as a result of the previous hearings from which the appeal is taken.” At the August 19, 2019,City Council meeting, the Council opened the public hearing and continued the appeal to the September 3, 2019,meeting at the property owner’s request. Financial Impact: No fiscal impact. Action: The City Council may take one of the following action(s): A) Uphold the Planning Commission’s Action and Deny Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 and Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 (Attachment No. 1);OR City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 1 of 5 powered by Legistar™438 File #:19-910 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 B) Find the proposed project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to section 15182 of the CEQA Guidelines and Government Code 65457 and approve Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 and Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 with findings and conditions of approval (Attachment No. 2). Alternative Action: A) Continue Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 and Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: A. PROJECT PROPOSAL: Applicant:Jeff Herbst, MCG Architecture, 111 Pacifica, Suite 280, Irvine, CA 92618 Appellant/Property Owner:Tahir Salim, THDT Investment, Inc., 4740 Green River Road, Suite 304, Corona, CA 92880 Location: 8041 Ellis Avenue (North side of Ellis Ave., between Beach Blvd. and Patterson Ln.) A comprehensive description of the proposed project as well as a General Plan and Zoning conformance analysis can be found in the May 28, 2019,Planning Commission staff report (Attachment No. 3). The staff report and attachments include the proposed site plan, floor plans, elevations, subdivision map, technical studies related to air quality, traffic, hydrology/water quality, and geological/soils, and written communications regarding the project. B. BACKGROUND On May 28, 2019, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed project. Staff had recommended approval with reasons noted in Attachment No. 2. The property owner spoke in support of the project describing the benefits of redeveloping the underutilized and dilapidated site. Two members of the public spoke in opposition due to site access issues, small lot size for the proposed density, parking, traffic, and the existing supply of apartments within the City. The Planning Commission then deliberated and expressed concerns; issues were raised regarding the proposed project’s impact on Ellis Avenue traffic, shadows on adjacent properties, unsafe ingress/egress to the project site, increased U-turns at Patterson Lane, the area of the project devoted to commercial use being too small, and marginal public open space. Ultimately, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing and directed staff to return with suggested findings for denial at the next regularly scheduled meeting of June 11, 2019. A full analysis of the required findings for both the proposed subdivision map and the proposed CUP is contained in the June 11, 2019, Planning Commission staff report (Attachment No. 5). At the June 11 meeting, only one speaker,representing the applicant/property owner,spoke in favor of the project.After deliberations, the Planning Commission denied the project, finding that the subdivision design is not consistent with the General Plan or the Beach and Edinger Corridors City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 2 of 5 powered by Legistar™439 File #:19-910 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 subdivision design is not consistent with the General Plan or the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP) in that the project design fails to further a number of goals and policies contained within the General Plan and BECSP (Attachment No. 6). The Planning Commission also found that development of the proposed project would result in a site that is not physically suitable for the type of development in that the site will not function as an integrated development compatible with the vision of the BECSP by merging three existing lots into a single long and narrow 0.95 acre parcel. The long and narrow parcel is not physically suitable for the proposed mass, bulk, and intensity of the proposed four story mixed use project and does not complement the scale and proportion of surrounding one and two-story developments. The project will generate conflicts with vehicular circulation on Ellis Avenue and there will be no connectivity for bicyclists to continue onto Beach Boulevard. Additionally, the Planning Commission found that approval of the project would result in a site that is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development in that the proposed project results in a density of approximately 50 dwelling units per acre while the adjacent residential property is built at an aggregate density of 13 dwelling units per acre. The Planning Commission was unable to make all of the required findings for a CUP, contained in Section 241.10(A) of the HBZSO, and denied the project. The Planning Commission found the project did not comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20 through 25 in that the project does not further the vision of the Town Center Neighborhood Segment of the BECSP, which envisions a vibrant commercial corridor within the Five Points District of the BECSP. The proposed project site is located within the Five Points District and the Planning Commission found that the project does not further a vibrant commercial corridor because: (1) Only one and a half percent (1.5%) of the total square footage of the project is allocated to commercial use, (2) There is insufficient vehicular ingress and egress to the site, and (3) The project proposes marginal public open space that does not contribute to the BECSP’s vision of walkability and pedestrian connections between public and private property. Planning Commission Action on June 11, 2019 A motion was made by Grant, seconded by Kalmick, to deny Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 and Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 with findings carried by the following vote: AYES: Grant, Kalmick, Mandic, Perkins, Ray, Scandura NOES: Garcia ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: None MOTION PASSED City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 3 of 5 powered by Legistar™440 File #:19-910 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 C. APPEAL: On June 20, 2019, the property owner, Tahir Salim, appealed the Planning Commission’s denial of Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 and Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 (Attachment No. 7). The appeal letter included the following reasons: 1. The Planning Commission’s concerns about the project may instead become conditions of approval. 2. The Planning Commission denied the project for subjective reasons even though the project complied with the applicable development standards of SP14. 3. The project complies with the land use goals and policies including density, consolidation of parcels, and provides a range of housing to meet the needs of the City. The applicant’s appeal also includes additional information for City Council consideration to address the Planning Commission’s concerns related to project design and access. The applicant provided traffic control measures for right turn exit only, additional shadow analysis, and letters of support. The applicant requests the City Council consider the project and the supplemental information in order to achieve a project design that complies with the applicable General Plan policies and required findings. However, the revised traffic control measures do not meet Fire Department access standards and would result in the project failing to comply with all applicable code requirements. More importantly, the raised median design would impede Fire Department access to the site resulting in an additional adverse health and safety impact caused by the project. D. CONTINUANCE: At the August 19, 2019,City Council meeting, the public hearing was opened. Nine members of the public spoke during public comments. Seven people spoke in opposition of the project, citing concerns related to traffic safety and congestion, parking, conflicts with the Elan project, the intensity of development on the site, insignificant commercial area, the existing supply of apartments in the City, and trucks and noise on Ellis Ave. Two members of the public, one being the property owner, spoke in favor of the project. The property owner discussed the proposed improvements to the project site and the need for additional housing within the City. The other public speaker referenced the Housing Accountability Act and the need for the City Council to make objective and specific findings for denial related to health and safety. City Council Action on August 19, 2019 A motion, made by Posey, seconded by Hardy, to continue Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 and Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 to the September 3, 2019, meeting with the public hearing open, carried by the following vote: AYES: Brenden, Carr, Semeta, Peterson, Posey, Hardy NOES: None ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: Delgleize Environmental Status: Pursuant to Section 15182 of the CEQA Guidelines and Government Code 65457, the proposed project is covered under the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan adopted Program EIR No. 08 City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 4 of 5 powered by Legistar™441 File #:19-910 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 project is covered under the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan adopted Program EIR No. 08 -008.

In light of the evidence in the record, the project would have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety due to unsafe ingress/egress conditions caused by the project. Vehicular access is provided via a single driveway along Ellis Avenue. Due to the proximity of the project access driveway to the Beach and Ellis intersection, the project will require right turns only in and out of the project site. This would prohibit motorists from exiting the project site to turn left onto Ellis Avenue. Residents and visitors also cannot access the project site from eastbound Ellis Avenue without continuing past the project to make a u-turn at Patterson Lane to make a right turn into the project site. The Ellis/Patterson intersection is currently unsignalized. According to the project Traffic Impact Analysis, prepared by a licensed traffic engineering firm, the project will generate 222 additional u-turns at the Ellis/Patterson intersection. Based on accident data provided by the Transportation Division of the Huntington Beach Public Works Department, the Ellis/Patterson intersection has experienced an increase in traffic accidents within the last few years, while other intersections and street segments near the project site have had a decrease in accidents . The increase in approximately 222 u-turns at this intersection as a result of the project will exacerbate accident rates at this intersection causing an adverse public safety impact. Furthermore, the Traffic Impact Analysis discloses that motorists entering and exiting the site may experience significant delays during the PM peak hour due to westbound vehicular queuing along Ellis Avenue. Traffic delays on Ellis Avenue will contribute to motorists attempting to turn left to enter and exit the project site. The Traffic Impact Analysis recommends installation of a “STOP” sign and signage restricting outbound movements to right turns only in an effort to improve safe ingress and egress at the site. However, these measures are not adequate enough to improve safety and the study also recommends additional driveway treatments to further regulate the turn restrictions, such as the installation of raised pavement to physically prevent left turns out of the site. This suggests that is a reasonable assumption that motorists will lose patience and attempt left turns out of the site onto Ellis Avenue creating an unsafe condition, particularly during the PM peak hour when there is a long vehicular queue of traffic on Ellis Avenue in front of the project driveway. Additionally, motorists may attempt to avoid having to make a u-turn at the unsignalized Ellis/Patterson intersection resulting in additional delay due to vehicular queuing on westbound Ellis Avenue. These motorists entering the site from eastbound Ellis Avenue will attempt left turns from a through lane across traffic into the project driveway creating unsafe conditions on both eastbound and westbound sides of Ellis Avenue. 2. There is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate the adverse impact. The site cannot accommodate an alternative access point or an additional access point to mitigate the negative safety impacts caused by project generated traffic. The project site does not have access to another street or alley. The appellant proposed a raised “porkchop” design at the 443 driveway entrance to prevent left turns out of the project site as recommended by the Traffic Impact Analysis. This could potentially address the adverse health and safety impact to a n uncertain degree. However, this design does not meet Fire Department access standards and would result in the project failing to comply with all applicable code requirements. Huntington Beach Fire Department Specification No. 401 contains minimum standards for fire apparatus access and No. 403 has additional requirements for driveway width when there are multiple lanes of travel with an “island divider”, like the proposed driveway with the raised “porkchop” design. Each lane of travel must be a minimum of 14 ft. wide. Two lanes of travel require a minimum 28 ft. wide driveway, without counting additional width required for an “island divider”. The proposed project driveway is 24 ft. wide total. Since the proposed raised “porkchop” design would take up a portion of the driveway width, it will result in a driveway that is less than 24 ft. wide. Since the proposed driveway is only 24 ft. wide when there is a 28 ft. minimum width (excluding additional width required for the raised “porkchop”), there is no feasible mitigation available for the adverse health and safety condition resulting from the proposed “porkchop” driveway design. The raised “porkchop” design would impede Fire Department access to the site resulting in an additional adverse health and safety impact caused by the project. Therefore, insufficient access to the project site and project generated traffic will have a direct adverse impact to health and safety which cannot be mitigated. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 18157: The City Council finds and determines that certain conditions (b), (c) and (d) listed in Government Code Section 66474 would result as a consequence of approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 18157, for reasons more particularly described herein: 1. Approval of the project would result in a design of the proposed subdivision that is not consistent with the General Plan and Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP) in that the project design fails to further a number of goals and policies contained within the General Plan and BECSP. More particular detail and analysis is contained below. 2. Approval of the project would result in a site that is not physically suitable for the type of development in that the site will not function as an integrated development compatible with the vision of the BECSP by merging three existing lots into a single long and narrow 0.95 acre parcel. The long and narrow parcel is not physically suitable for the proposed mass, bulk, and intensity of the proposed four story mixed use project and does not complement the scale and proportion of surrounding one and two-story developments. The project will generate conflicts with vehicular circulation on Ellis Ave. and there will be no connectivity for bicyclists to continue onto Beach Blvd. 3. Approval of the project would result in a site that is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development in that the proposed project results in a density of approximately 50 dwelling units per acre while the adjacent residential property is built at an aggregate density of 13 dwelling units per acre. The design and improvement of proposed Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 does not further the goals and policies of the General Plan or the BECSP as follows: Land Use Element 444 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. Policy LU-1D: Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale and character to complement adjoining uses. Goal LU-3: Neighborhoods and attractions are connected and accessible to all residents, employees, and visitors. Policy LU-3A: Ensure that future development and reuse projects are consistent with the Land Use Map to provide connections between existing neighborhoods and city attractions. Policy LU-3C: Ensure connections are well maintained and safe for users. Circulation Element Goal CIRC-1c: Through ongoing evaluation of jurisdiction, efficient transportation management provides the highest level of safety, service and resources. Policy CIRC-1F: Require development projects to provide circulation improvements to achieve stated City goals and to mitigate to the maximum extent feasible traffic impacts to adjacent land uses and neighborhoods as well as vehicular conflicts related to the project. Policy CIRC – 1G: Limit driveway access points, require driveways to be wide enough to accommodate traffic flow from and to arterial roadways, and establish mechanisms to consolidate driveways where feasible and necessary to minimize impacts to the smooth, efficient, and controlled flow of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. The proposed lot consolidation, subdivision, design and improvement is not consistent with the above goals and policies of the General Plan or the BECSP because the infill project is not compatible in density, intensity, proportion, scale, and character w ith the surrounding land uses and does not complement the adjoining uses in that the proposed four story mixed use development is significantly more intense than the adjacent one-story commercial and two-story multi-family residential developments. The BECSP encourages buildings to orient towards streets and provide enhancements to the pedestrian and public experience. However, in the proposed project, approximately five percent of the building length is oriented towards Ellis Ave. while the remainder is oriented to the established residences to the east and commercial uses to the west. Further, the project architectural design and scale is not compatible with the vision of the BECSP. The adjacent properties will be impacted by the height and massing of the proposed project. The length and height of the proposed building is not compatible with the long, narrow characteristics of the 0.95 acre site because it is too bulky and too intense for the available land area. The project does not support the vibrant commercial corridor envisioned in the BECSP Five Points District because only one and a half percent (1.5%) of the total square footage of the project is allocated to commercial use. 445 The proposed project does not create continuity with new and existing development along the Beach Boulevard corridor because the project does not propose to augment or expand the existing bikeways. Furthermore, ingress and egress to the project site generates conflicts with the flow of traffic on Ellis Ave. There is no access or connectivity to the project site from Beach Blvd and insufficient vehicular access is provided via a single driveway along Ellis Avenue. Motorists exiting the project site will be unable to safely turn left onto Ellis Ave. from the driveway and motorists entering the project site from eastbound Ellis Ave. will be unable to turn left into the project site due to congestion and narrow roadway widths. Residents and visitors cannot directly access the project site from eastbound Ellis Ave. and must continue past the project to Patterson Ln. to make a u-turn on Ellis Ave., resulting in inefficient vehicular movements. Additionally, even though motorists will be required to exit the project via a right hand turn onto Ellis Ave., motorists who do not abide by this restriction may create vehicular hazards and conflicts due to frequent congestion and queuing on Ellis Ave. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 17-042: The City Council finds and determines that it is unable to make all of the required findings, contained in Section 241.10(A) of the HBZSO, for reasons more particularly described below: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 for the development of a mixed-use building consisting of 48 condominium residences and 891 sf. of retail space will not comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20 through 25 and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located in that the project does not further the vision of the Town Center Neighborhood Segment of the BECSP, which envisions a vibrant commercial corridor within the Five Points District of the BECSP. The proposed project is located within the Five Points District and does not further a vibrant commercial corridor because only one and a half percent (1.5%) of the total square footage of the project is allocated to commercial use, there is insufficient vehicular ingress and egress to the site, and the project proposes marginal public open space that does not contribute to the BECSP’s vision of walkability and pedestrian connections betw een public and private property. 446 SUGGESTED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 18157 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 17-042 SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA: The Planning Commission finds that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15182 of the CEQA Guidelines and Government Code 65457, because the project is a mixed-use development that conforms with the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan for which Program EIR No. 08-008 was adopted and implementation of the project would not result in any new or more severe potentially adverse environmental impacts that were not considered in the Final EIR for the BECSP. Compliance with all applicable mitigation measures adopted for the Specific Plan will be required of the project. In light of the whole record, none of the circumstances described under Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines are present and, therefore, no EIR or MND is required. The Project, located on the north side of Ellis Avenue between Beach Boulevard and Patterson Lane, consists of a four-story mixed-use building including 48 condominium residences with on- site public and private open space, a three level subterranean parking structure and 891 square feet of commercial space. The development site is located within the Town Center Neighborhood Segment of the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP) area. The City certified Program EIR No. 08-008 on December 8, 2009 and adopted the BECSP on March 1, 2010. In 2015, the City Council amended the BECSP to reduce the Maximum Amount of New Development to 2,100 total new dwelling units including 725 units on Beach Boulevard. There are 200 undeveloped units remaining within the MAND on Beach Boulevard. The 48 units contemplated by the project is within the total new dwelling units permitted on Beach Boulevard under the approved BECSP. The project conforms to all standards and regulations of the BECSP development code. Accordingly, no changes requiring revision of the previously certified Program EIR are proposed as part of the project, nor have any circumstances changed requiring revision of the previously certified Program EIR. In addition, no new information identifies that implementation of the BECSP, including the project, will have significant effects that were not discussed in the previously certified Program EIR or that the significant effects identified in the certified Program EIR will be substantially more severe than determined in the Program EIR. Nor is there new information showing that mitigation measures or alternatives not previously adopted would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 18157: 1. Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 for the consolidation of three parcels into one 0.95 acre parcel is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element designation of Mixed Use on the subject property. The project complies with all applicable code provisions of the Subdivision Map Act, Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, and Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan. The project will result in the demolition of an existing commercial building, one dwelling unit, and a portion of a former car wash and facilitate the development of a mixed-use building permitted by code. The proposed subdivision is consistent with goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan Land Use Element that govern new subdivisions and residential development. 447 2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development in that the project site is able to accommodate the type of development proposed from a public service, circulation, and drainage perspective. The site is located within the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan, which permits mixed-use buildings and residential uses within close proximity of commercial uses. The specific plan is a form-based code that does not rely on density to limit development, but rather the building form to create an attractive public experience appealing to pedestrians. By merging the three existing lots into one, the site will function as an integrated development compatible with the vision of the growing urban Beach Boulevard corridor. 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 wildlife or their habitat because the site has been previously used as a car wash, one dwelling unit, and a convenience store. The site does not contain any significant habitat for wildlife or fish. Design features of the project as well as compliance with the provisions of the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan will ensure that the subdivision will not significantly impact the function and value of any resources adjacent to the project site. The project will comply with applicable mitigation measures pursuant to Program EIR No. 08- 008. 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. Vehicular access is provided via a driveway along Ellis Avenue. The subdivision will provide all necessary street, sidewalk, and utility easements to serve the new subdivision. The project will dedicate four feet of land to widen the existing sidewalk (public right-of-way) along Ellis Avenue. The project will provide all necessary easements and will not affect any existing easements. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL – CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 17- 042: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 for the development of a mixed-use building consisting of 48 condominium residences, 891 sf. of retail space and associated infrastructure and site improvements will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood because as conditioned, the project will result in less than significant impacts related to traffic, noise, lighting, aesthetics, and privacy of adjacent residences. Existing multi-family residences adjacent to the east will be buffered from the project by an approximately 33 ft. 7 in. setback on the east side of the project site consisting of landscaping and a driveway. Residents of the project and the general public, including nearby residents, will benefit from the new commercial portion of the building and the public plaza. Based upon the conditions of approval and BECSP mitigation measures, the proposed project will not result in significant impacts onto adjacent properties in that the project complies with setbacks, onsite parking requirements, and allowable building height. The project is a four-story building that is compatible with surrounding developments in terms of architectural design and scale pursuant to the massing and scale requirements of the BECSP. The proposed mixed-use development will be compatible with the surrounding multi-family residential uses and commercial uses in terms of density, layout and overall design. With the conditions of 448 approval imposed, the project’s grading and drainage pattern will result in compatible finished grades between adjacent properties. 2. The proposed project will comply with the Town Center Neighborhood Segment of the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan, and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) because the project complies with all other setback standards, building height, top and base architectural element requirements, and parking. 3. The General Plan Land Use Map designation on the subject property is currently M-sp (Mixed Use – Specific Plan Overlay). Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 for the development of a mixed-use building consisting of 48 condominium residences, 891 sf. of retail space and associated infrastructure and site improvements is consistent with this designation and the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan as follows: 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. Policy 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. Policy LU-1B: Ensure new development supports the protection and maintenance of environmental and open spaces resources. Policy LU-1C: Support infill development, consolidation of parcels, and adaptive reuse of existing buildings. Policy LU-1D: Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale and character to complement adjoining uses. Policy LU-2D: Maintain and protect residential neighborhoods by avoiding encroachment of incompatible land uses. Policy LU-3A: Ensure that future development and reuse projects are consistent with the Land Use Map to provide connections between existing neighborhoods and city attractions. Goal LU-4: A range of housing types is available to meet the diverse economic, physical, and social needs of future and existing residents, while neighborhood character and residences are well maintained and protected. Policy LU-4A: Encourage a mix of residential types to accommodate people with diverse housing needs. Policy LU-4B: Improve options for people to live near work and public transit. 449 Goal LU-13: The city provides opportunities for new businesses and employees to ensure a high quality of life and thriving industry. Policy LU-13A: Encourage expansion of the range of goods and services provided to accommodate the needs of all residents and the market area. The proposed development is consistent with the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan which encourages buildings to orient towards streets, wider walkways, and large open space areas to enhance the pedestrian and public experience. Approximately 2,703 sq. ft. of public open space will be provided in a plaza accessible from Ellis Avenue. This area will be designed with enhanced landscaping, seating areas, and visually appealing amenities. The architecture of the building is contemporary, incorporating notches, major façade offsets, and façade composition changes to break up the massing of the building at street frontages. Brick veneer is applied along the base of the building with canopies at entrances to cater to the pedestrian scale. The façade skyline is then capped with parapets and articulating rooflines. Additionally, this mixed-use development will provide an on-site commercial component and is proposed within close proximity of new and existing commercial uses thus reducing the need for automobile use. By permitting a mix of land uses closer together, greater interaction will occur between developments and further the vision and viability of the BECSP. Housing Element Policy 2.1 Variety of Housing Choices: Provide site opportunities for development of housing that responds to diverse community needs in terms of housing types, cost and location, emphasizing locations near services and transit that promote walkability. Policy 2.2 Residential Mixed Use: Facilitate the efficient use of land by allowing and encouraging commercial and residential uses on the same property in both horizontal and vertical mixed-use configurations. Policy 2.3 Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan: Encourage and facilitate the provision of housing affordable to lower income households within the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan. Policy 6.4 Transportation Alternatives and Walkability: Incorporate transit and other transportation alternatives including walking and bicycling into the design of new development, particularly in areas within a half mile of designated transit stops. The suggested conditions of approval for Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 would ensure that the project is developed in accordance with the proposed project narrative and guarantee that the project provides 5 onsite affordable housing 450 units. The project represents new housing in the City that will help to fulfill the City’s share of the regional housing need. The proposed project would accommodate and is designed to appeal to different age groups and household types. A minimum of ten percent of the units are required to be designated for affordable housing. The project applicant proposes to provide five on-site affordable housing units in order to comply with the affordable housing requirement. Residents will benefit from the proximity of the project to different activities and uses. The project provides opportunities and convenience for many households to use alternate travel modes such as walking, bicycling, and public transit to complete their daily routines and run errands, thereby serving the need for affordable housing for this segment of the population. Circulation Element Goal CIRC-3a: Convenient and efficient connections between regional transit and areas of employment, shopping, recreation, and housing will increase ridership and active mobility, with a focus on first/last mile solutions. Goal CIRC-6: Connected, well-maintained, and well-designed sidewalks, bike lanes, equestrian paths, and waterways allow for both leisurely use and day-to- day required activities in a safe and efficient manner for all ages and abilities. Policy CIRC-6(C): Require new commercial and residential projects to integrate with pedestrian and bicycle networks, and that necessary land area is provided for the infrastructure. The proposed streetscape will create continuity with new and existing development along the Beach Boulevard corridor by providing a sidewalk with new landscaping to buffer pedestrians from the vehicular thoroughfare. Pedestrian connectivity is improved with landscaping and architectural elements through the proposed public open space and wider sidewalks. The project is serviced by an existing bus stop at the intersection of Beach Blvd. and Ellis Ave. and also provides bicycle parking in the subterranean parking structure to accommodate alternative methods of transportation.

PROJECT PROPOSAL: The project site is approximately 0.95 acres and consists of three parcels with two existing buildings - a liquor store and a residence. The existing buildings will be demolished in order to construct the proposed four-story building with three levels of subterranean parking. The north side of the project site was formerly utilized as part of the Metro Car Wash located at 18400 Beach Boulevard. Metro Car Wash has ceased operations and the owner of 18400 Beach Boulevard is currently constructing a new car wash on the property. The proposed condominium project and new car wash do not have any overlapping elements and are entirely separate projects. According to the Applicant’s narrative (Attachment No. 3), the project owner intends for the units to be sold to individual buyers as condominiums so there will be no permanent on-site staff. Building maintenance, regular up-keep, and cleaning will be handled by the HOA management team via contracts with local services. The project owner proposes to provide five affordable units on-site in order to comply with the Affordable Housing requirement. In the event the project is operated as rental apartment units, five on-site units will be designated as rentals affordable to low income households. Background: 1.In 2010, the City adopted the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (SP14). The goal of SP14 was to transform the current development of commercial strip centers lined with surface City of Huntington Beach Printed on 5/29/2019Page 2 of 17 powered by Legistar™460 File #:19-545 MEETING DATE:5/28/2019 SP14 was to transform the current development of commercial strip centers lined with surface parking lots and generally low-rise commercial buildings to a pattern of centers and segments characterized with clusters of shops and activity of varying intensity. These new active areas would include a mix of residential, offices, and commercial uses oriented to alternative modes of transportation including walking and bicycling. Along the Beach Boulevard corridor near Ellis Avenue, the development of a “Town-Center Neighborhood” segment would feature the City’s widest range of contemporary housing types and possibly a wide mixture of uses. 2. In 2015, the City Council amended SP14 to decrease the total number of residential units allowed from 4,500 to 2,100, increase setbacks, increase minimum parking standards, require upper story setbacks, require a commercial component in all residential buildings, and permit residential subject to approval of a CUP. Other amendments related to auto dealers and civic and cultural uses were also approved. Out of the 2,100 Maximum Amount of New Development (MAND) units currently permitted, approximately 1,900 have been constructed leaving a balance of 200 units. Study Session: The Planning Commission held a Study Session on May 14, 2019 and discussed the following issues: General Solar panels on adjacent properties The Planning Commission discussed the potential impact of the project on adjacent properties to the east that have rooftop solar panels. The applicant has provided a shadow analysis exhibit (Attachment No. 6). Per the exhibit, the adjacent buildings to the east may experience shade/shadow beginning at approximately 6:00 PM during the summer months, approximately 4:00 PM during the fall months, and approximately 3:30 PM during the winter months. Distance of the project site from the intersection The proposed project site is approximately 96 ft. from the intersection of Beach Blvd. and Ellis Ave. Pets At this time, the applicant has not provided information regarding pets at the property. Comparable projects The Planning Commission requested a list of comparable projects. Staff has prepared an exhibit of comparable completed projects within SP14 (Attachment No. 7). Revised site plan for clarity The Planning Commission requested a revised site plan exhibit which removes the utilities and other layers in order to depict the property lines, setbacks, etc. more clearly. The applicant has prepared a revised site plan to fulfill this request (Attachment No. 8). Environmental Artifacts on the project site Since the project site has been previously disturbed and developed, it is not likely that construction of the proposed project will result in discovery of cultural resources. Program Environmental Impact City of Huntington Beach Printed on 5/29/2019Page 3 of 17 powered by Legistar™461 File #:19-545 MEETING DATE:5/28/2019 the proposed project will result in discovery of cultural resources. Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 08-008 for BECSP included a Cultural and Paleontological Resources survey of the entire SP14 area. Two archeological sites were identified within the SP14 area and are labeled as CA-ORA-296 and CA-ORA-358. CA-ORA-296 is located on the west side of Newland Ave. between Slater Ave. and Talbert Ave. CA-ORA-358 is located on the corner of Indianapolis Ave. and Beach Blvd. Neither of these sites are within the immediate vicinity of the proposed project. Although there are no archeological sites near the project, the project will comply with BECSP MM 4.4 regarding Cultural and Paleontological Resources. For example, in the event that native soil is disturbed, an archeology professional will be retained to determine if a substantial adverse change would occur to an archeological resource. Acoustic study The Planning Commission asked why the Acoustic Study is not required to be submitted prior to project approval. The BECSP Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program includes Mitigation Measure 4.9-5 which requires an acoustic study to be submitted prior to issuance of building permits. The acoustic study will present an analysis of the potential noise impacts of the surrounding environment on exterior (ex: patios and balconies) and interior components of the proposed project. MM 4.9-5 includes a provision that requires final project design to incorporate special design measures in the construction of the proposed residential units, if necessary. Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (SP14) Zoning Pre-2010 Prior to the 2010 adoption of SP14, the property had a General Plan Land Use designation of CG - F2 - d (Commercial General - Flood Overlay - design overlay) and a Zoning designation of CG (General Commercial). Did SP14 envision narrow lot development or unconsolidated development? SP14 divides the Beach Blvd. and Edinger Ave. corridors into five general areas or segments. The overall vision for SP14 is to develop primarily residential and neighborhood retail uses in the southern portion of Beach Boulevard, transitioning to mixed uses in the middle segment of Beach Boulevard, then to a more dense “town center” adjacent to and at the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Edinger Avenue, and extending along Edinger Avenue. Geographically, the intention is to intensify land uses as one travels north along Beach Boulevard from the southern boundary of the SP area. The project site is within the Five Points district of SP14, which is envisioned to enable investment in a visible, mixed-use cluster at this central location. SP14 discusses infill development on underutilized properties responding to the broad framework of the Specific Plan which will contribute to an emerging pattern of coherent arrangements of buildings, streets, and blocks. Although it might be ideal for clusters of small properties to consolidate and propose a unified project, it is not always possible due to market conditions and the interests of individual property owners. This is contemplated in the SP14 Development Concept which states that the common purpose of development within the Specific Plan is the realization of a vision of the future that is sufficiently specific to meet the revitalization goals, yet loose enough to respond to opportunities and changes in the marketplace that will inevitably arise. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 5/29/2019Page 4 of 17 powered by Legistar™462 File #:19-545 MEETING DATE:5/28/2019 Traffic Impacts, Traffic Improvements, and Grading Required Dedications The Public Works Department has indicated that the only dedication the project requires is a four foot dedication along Ellis Ave. Traffic Mitigation The Public Works Department has indicated that payment of fair share traffic fees and implementation of a right in, right out only driveway along with on-street striping and driveway improvements to supplement the right in/out only movements are the required traffic mitigations. The project does not result in other traffic related impacts requiring mitigation. Also, the Planning Commission requested information regarding Level of Service (LOS) in the project vicinity. LOS is a method of describing the delays experienced by drivers at a particular intersection or roadway. If a project is determined to create a significant traffic delay, it may impact and downgrade the LOS rating. The Traffic Impact Analysis finds that the proposed project driveway is forecast to operate at acceptable LOS B during the AM and PM peak hours for Year 2020 traffic conditions. LOS B is defined as 0.61 - 0.70 seconds of delay and is described as a very good traffic condition with short delays. It must be noted that although the level of service calculation indicates LOS B operations at the project driveway, residents of the project may experience delays entering/exiting the project site due to vehicle queueing on Ellis Ave. The Public Works Department has prepared a summary of volume to capacity ratio at AM/PM Peak Hours in the project vicinity (Attachment No. 11). Will payment of fees at “full buildout” of SP14 cover all needs for traffic? The Public Works Department has indicated that collection of the fair share payment is sufficient to mitigate all the identified intersection improvements of the Specific Plan. Description of all traffic requirements for the project The Public Works Department has indicated that the following items are required related to traffic and street improvements: BECSP EIR Transportation/Traffic Mitigation Measures (by payment of fair share traffic impact fees), BECSP Streetscape Improvement Development Standards (four ft. dedication), CP Circulation Element and PW standards (with implementation of right in/out driveway, on-street striping, and driveway improvements). North side grading The preliminary grading plan (Attachment No. 12) depicts the subject site with a grade of approximately 6.6 ft. for drainage purposes with a 6.6 ft. high retaining wall. The six ft. grade is proposed as the highest point with a gradual reduction in grade to approximately three to four ft. near the subterranean garage entrance. Staff recommends a condition of approval (Attachment No. 1) to require the proposed drainage pattern and system to be revised prior to issuance of a grading permit to reduce retaining wall and grade differential impacts to adjacent properties to the north, east, and west. Staff recommends a maximum two ft. retaining wall may be constructed and topped with a maximum six ft. high block wall. What (if any) grading or construction activities can occur outside of 10 AM - 4 PM? What time can City of Huntington Beach Printed on 5/29/2019Page 5 of 17 powered by Legistar™463 File #:19-545 MEETING DATE:5/28/2019 they start grading? Public Works Code Requirements for the project limit the hours of hauling trucks at the site from 8:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M., Monday - Friday only. The BECSP Mitigation Measures limit high noise-producing activities to the hours of 8:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M. Fire Access Ladder pads Per the Huntington Beach Fire Department, all bedroom windows are required to be accessible from ground ladders. The applicant has provided HBFD with plans that show the ladder pads for ground ladder access to egress windows. Elan Statistics on increased accidents due to Elan The Public Works Department has provided information regarding accident rates at three intersections in the project vicinity three years prior to occupancy of the Elan building and three years after the occupancy of the Elan building (Attachment No. 9). The analysis concludes that accidents after the occupancy of Elan have decreased compared to the rate of accidents prior to the occupancy of Elan. Comparison of the proposed project to Elan On May 15, 2012 the Planning Commission approved Site Plan Review No. 12-001 (Elan) to develop a mixed use project consisting of 274 residential units including six live-work units, 8,500 square feet of commercial space, an internal 430 space parking garage and 54,546 sf of private and public open space on a 2.74 acre site. The Planning Commission requested a comparison chart of the proposed project to Elan. It must be noted that Elan was approved prior to the 2015 BECSP Amendments which included the following revisions to topics relevant to Elan and the proposed project: ·Reduce the residential Maximum Amount of Net New Development (MAND) from 4,500 units to 2,100 units ·Require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for all residential and mixed use (residential/commercial) projects ·Increase the residential parking requirements ·Increase front yard setbacks on all public streets ·Limit maximum building height to four stories ·Create an upper-story setback above the third floor ·Require all residential projects to include retail/commercial uses at the street level Provision Elan Proposed Project Number of Units 274 48 Density 100 units per acre 50 units per acre Height Ellis Ave.: ranges from 4-6 stories 4th story: 43 ft. high 6th story: 63 ft. 6 in. high 4 stories 46 ft. to the highest point Setbacks Ellis Ave.: 0 ft. 2 in.Ellis Ave.: 30 ft.

The proposed project is consistent with this designation 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. Policy 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. Policy LU-1B:Ensure new development supports the protection and maintenance of environmental and open spaces resources. Policy LU-1C:Support infill development, consolidation of parcels, and adaptive reuse of City of Huntington Beach Printed on 5/29/2019Page 7 of 17 powered by Legistar™465 File #:19-545 MEETING DATE:5/28/2019 Policy LU-1C:Support infill development, consolidation of parcels, and adaptive reuse of existing buildings. Policy LU-1D:Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale and character to complement adjoining uses. Policy LU-2D:Maintain and protect residential neighborhoods by avoiding encroachment of incompatible land uses. Policy LU-3A:Ensure that future development and reuse projects are consistent with the Land Use Map to provide connections between existing neighborhoods and city attractions. Goal LU-4:A range of housing types is available to meet the diverse economic, physical, and social needs of future and existing residents, while neighborhood character and residences are well maintained and protected. Policy LU-4A:Encourage a mix of residential types to accommodate people with diverse housing needs. Policy LU-4B: Improve options for people to live near work and public transit. Goal LU-13:The city provides opportunities for new businesses and employees to ensure a high quality of life and thriving industry. Policy LU-13A:Encourage expansion of the range of goods and services provided to accommodate the needs of all residents and the market area. The proposed mixed-use development is consistent with the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan which encourages buildings to orient towards streets, wider walkways, and large open space areas to enhance the pedestrian and public experience. Approximately 2,703 sq. ft. of public open space will be provided in a plaza accessible from Ellis Avenue. This area will be designed with enhanced landscaping, seating areas, and visually appealing amenities. The architecture of the building is contemporary, incorporating notches, major façade offsets, and façade composition changes to break up the massing of the building at street frontages. Brick veneer is applied along the base of the building with canopies at entrances to cater to the pedestrian scale. The façade skyline is then capped with parapets and articulating rooflines. Additionally, this mixed-use development will provide an on-site commercial component and is proposed within close proximity of new and existing commercial uses thus reducing the need for automobile use. By permitting a mix of land uses closer together, greater interaction will occur between developments and further the vision and viability of the BECSP. B.Housing Element Policy 2.1 Variety of Housing Choices:Provide site opportunities for development of housing that responds to diverse community needs in terms of housing types, cost and location, emphasizing locations near services and transit that promote walkability. Policy 2.2 Residential Mixed Use:Facilitate the efficient use of land by allowing and encouraging commercial and residential uses on the same property in both horizontal andCity of Huntington Beach Printed on 5/29/2019Page 8 of 17 powered by Legistar™466 File #:19-545 MEETING DATE:5/28/2019 encouraging commercial and residential uses on the same property in both horizontal and vertical mixed-use configurations. Policy 2.3 Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan:Encourage and facilitate the provision of housing affordable to lower income households within the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan. Policy 6.4 Transportation Alternatives and Walkability:Incorporate transit and other transportation alternatives including walking and bicycling into the design of new development, particularly in areas within a half mile of designated transit stops. The project includes six one-bedroom units and forty-two two-bedroom units that would accommodate and is designed to appeal to different age groups and household types. The units range from 645 - 880 sf. The proposed project will help to fulfill the City’s share of the regional housing need by providing smaller dwelling units which will be more financially attainable by virtue of size. A minimum of ten percent of the units are required to be designated for affordable housing. The project applicant proposes to provide five on-site affordable housing units in order to comply with the affordable housing requirement. Residents will benefit from the proximity of the project to different activities and uses. The project provides opportunities and convenience for many households to use alternate travel modes such as walking, bicycling, and public transit to complete their daily routines and run errands, thereby serving the need for affordable housing for this segment of the population. C.Circulation Element Goal CIRC-3a:Convenient and efficient connections between regional transit and areas of employment, shopping, recreation, and housing will increase ridership and active mobility, with a focus on first/last mile solutions. Goal CIRC-6:Connected, well-maintained, and well-designed sidewalks, bike lanes, equestrian paths, and waterways allow for both leisurely use and day-to-day required activities in a safe and efficient manner for all ages and abilities. Policy CIRC-6(C):Require new commercial and residential projects to integrate with pedestrian and bicycle networks, and that necessary land area is provided for the infrastructure. Although the site is relatively narrow, the proposed streetscape will create continuity with new and existing development along the Beach Boulevard corridor by providing a sidewalk with new landscaping to buffer pedestrians from the vehicular thoroughfare. Pedestrian connectivity is improved with landscaping and architectural elements through the proposed public open space and wider sidewalks. The project is serviced by an existing bus stop at the intersection of Beach Blvd. and Ellis Ave. and also provides bicycle parking in the underground parking structure to accommodate alternative methods of transportation. Zoning Compliance: The proposed project is located within Specific Plan No. 14 Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan and complies with the requirements of the Town Center Neighborhood Segment. The purpose of the BECSP is to enhance the overall economic performance, physical beauty and functionality ofCity of Huntington Beach Printed on 5/29/2019Page 9 of 17 powered by Legistar™467 File #:19-545 MEETING DATE:5/28/2019 of the BECSP is to enhance the overall economic performance, physical beauty and functionality of the Beach Boulevard and Edinger Avenue Corridors. Future development would transform existing commercial strips, which are predominantly lined with large expanses of pavement or underperforming uses, to a pattern of centers and segments generating increased activity and greater interaction between developments. As previously mentioned, the project site is located in the Town Center Neighborhood segment of the Five Points District within the BECSP. The Five Points District is designated as a potential City center characterized by convenience and urban vitality. Development within the Town Center Neighborhood segment is encouraged to be revitalized through infill development on underutilized properties. This segment is envisioned to have greater development intensity than surrounding segments, including new apartments or condominiums with shopfronts and parking areas screened from view. Development is to be more compact in this segment in order to provide the activity expected in a vibrant urban district. The table below shows an overview of the project’s conformance to the significant development standards of the BECSP. In addition, a list of City Code Requirements of the applicable provisions of the BECSP and the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) and Municipal Code has been provided to the applicant and attached to this report (Attachment No. 19) for informational purposes only.

The project also includes 891 sf. of commercial space to serve residents of the project and nearby neighborhoods. The project site is also within close proximity to other key developments including Five Points Plaza and Elan, which provide the commercial and public services that the proposed development will support. The urban environment will further form when there is sufficient supporting residential uses to accommodate the growing commercial uses. Alternate modes of travel such as walking and bicycling become more appealing when enhanced larger walkways are provided and integrated between developments. Proposed site improvements will provide wider pedestrian sidewalks throughout the project and an open public plaza. As discussed under the Zoning Conformance section of this report, the project complies with the BECSP development code and does not include any requests to deviate from the development standards. Adequate emergency access is provided in and around the site with the driveway from Ellis Ave., also functioning as the fire lane. Sufficient parking (exceeds code requirements) for the residential and commercial portion of the project is incorporated in a subterranean parking structure which supports the BECSP vision for quality urban spaces. The project is within the allowable MAND in the BECSP. As of the 2015 BECSP amendment, the Beach Boulevard corridor has 525 dwelling units approved of which 325 dwelling units have been constructed. There is a remaining capacity of 200 units in the Beach Boulevard corridor. The Beach Boulevard corridor also has a MAND of 532,000 sf. for retail development. The proposed project includes 891 sf. of retail space and 48 dwelling units, which do not exceed the Beach Boulevard corridor MAND. Building Massing and Scale The BECSP relies on massing and scale to dictate the desired building form and interaction with the public experience. As the building expands horizontally, the height of the building is vertically proportioned for orientation to the pedestrian environment. The flat plane of the façade is then separated into volumes accented with insets, offsets, notches, material and colors changes. For the City of Huntington Beach Printed on 5/29/2019Page 13 of 17 powered by Legistar™471 File #:19-545 MEETING DATE:5/28/2019 separated into volumes accented with insets, offsets, notches, material and colors changes. For the proposed design, the building facades incorporate a variety of attractive elements. The dominant treatment along the exterior base involves brick veneer as well as the placement of metal trellises and canopies on the ground floor building entrances. The top element of the facades applies cornices and varied rooflines. Inset balconies and intermittent setbacks combine with rich landscaping to beautify the street frontages creating an inviting pedestrian and public space. The maximum allowable height for the subject site is four stories. The proposed building is four stories high and 46 ft. tall at the highest point of the building cornice. As seen along the Ellis Ave. frontage, the height is articulated from the pedestrian scale featuring a 20 ft. high retail portion of the building and a notch at the residential entrance. The facades facing Beach Blvd. (west) and Patterson Ln. (east) are further articulated with the addition of metal trellises and open railings on third and fourth floor balconies. The pedestrian bridge provides architectural relief and reduces visual massing via transmission of light and air through the building frontage. Land Use Compatibility The proposed four-story mixed-use development is compatible with existing and anticipated land uses in the immediate vicinity. This includes the mixed-use Elan building which ranges in height from 4-6 stories on Ellis Ave. and is also composed of a mixture of commercial and residential land uses. The project will be served by the existing commercial uses to the north, west, and south (Elan) of the project site. Existing multi-family residential uses are located east of the site and existing single family residential uses are located further east, beyond Patterson Ln. The project will not significantly impact existing residential uses because the proposed building is located approximately 260 feet away from the nearest single family residential building. Existing multi-family residences are buffered from the proposed commercial use through perimeter setback areas of landscaping, sidewalks, and a driveway. Interior noise would be minimized through noise attenuation features. Development of the site would enhance the visual image of the Beach Boulevard corridor and expand the vision of the specific plan. Site Layout & Circulation Access Vehicular access to the project site is proposed via one primary entry point on Ellis Avenue. There are no improvements necessary to the existing street or medians to accommodate vehicular access to the project site. The driveway on Ellis Ave. is designed with two-way travel lanes which provide entrance into the subterranean parking structure. The project will enhance the pedestrian experience on Ellis Ave. by dedicating four ft. of property to provide a 12 ft. wide public right-of-way. Pedestrian access to the project site will feature a six ft. wide planter along the street frontage which buffers the adjacent six ft. wide sidewalk. The sidewalk along Ellis Ave. is also adjacent to the proposed public plaza. The building is oriented towards the street which connects the sidewalk to the shopfront retail entrance and the common lobby residential entrance along Ellis Ave. Interior corridors connect the residential units to the parking garage and roof deck via stairs/elevators. The sidewalk connects to a pathway which provides access to the ground floor residential entrance and pedestrian security gates. The security gates will enclose the residential area from the public open space through controlled access scan cards. The project’s access points have been designed to comply with the requirements of the BECSP andCity of Huntington Beach Printed on 5/29/2019Page 14 of 17 powered by Legistar™472 File #:19-545 MEETING DATE:5/28/2019 The project’s access points have been designed to comply with the requirements of the BECSP and respond to the Fire Department’s request for emergency access. The site includes a fire truck turnabout and marked fire lanes. The project has proposed an Alternate Means & Methods (AM&M) strategy to satisfy exterior hose pull distance requirements. The AM&M has been reviewed and conceptually approved by the HBFD. Open Space The 2,703 sf. public open space plaza is accessible via the public sidewalk on Ellis Ave. and visible along the street frontage. The plaza includes seating areas for public use and decorative stamped concrete pathways which encourages public use from the sidewalk. The inclusion of these improvements creates an inviting pedestrian experience for both visitors and residents. The project proposes porches as private open space for the ground floor residential units. Although each of the ground floor residents will benefit from the enjoyment of open space accessible directly from their unit, the porch type private open space is noncompliant with the Town Center Neighborhood segment of BECSP. For this reason, the ground floor porches are excluded from private open space calculations for the project. All residents will have access to the fourth floor roof deck common area. Units on the fourth floor also have private balconies which are separate from the common area. Parking The 2015 amendments to the BECSP increased the parking ratio requirements from the original 2010 adoption of the BECSP. The proposed project meets and exceeds the minimum amount of required vehicle parking based on the current BECSP. A total of 125 parking spaces are required for the project and a total of 128 parking spaces are provided. The project provides 120 parking spaces for residences, including 24 spaces reserved for guests, and 5 spaces reserved for the retail tenant. The subterranean parking structure will provide access to all 128 parking spaces. According to the Parking Management Plan (Attachment No. 13), the parking garage will remain open between the hours of 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM and require a scan card for gate access outside these hours. Affordable Housing As required per the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP) and Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) Section 230.26 - Affordable Housing, 10% of the proposed units are required to be designated for sale at affordable income levels. Thus, 4.8 of the proposed 48 units are required to be designated for sale at affordable income levels. The applicant proposes to provide five affordable units on-site in order to comply with the Affordable Housing requirement. Three of the affordable units will be made available to moderate income households and two affordable units will be available to low income households, as defined by HBZSO Section 230.26(B)(3). In the event the project is operated as rental apartment units, five on-site units will be designated as rentals affordable to low income households, as defined by HBZSO Section 230.26(B) (2). In addition, there are requirements for a 45-year affordability period (for-sale units) and 55-year affordability period (rental units) and the timing for which the affordable units shall be constructed. The suggested conditions of approval for Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 stipulates these requirements to be recorded in an Affordable Housing Agreement approved by the City Council. Urban Design Guidelines Conformance: The project is required to comply with the architectural regulations and guidelines of the BECSP. ACity of Huntington Beach Printed on 5/29/2019Page 15 of 17 powered by Legistar™473 File #:19-545 MEETING DATE:5/28/2019 The project is required to comply with the architectural regulations and guidelines of the BECSP. A detailed discussion of the project’s design is provided in the Analysis section of this staff report.

Republic Will-Service Letter 19.Code Requirements Letter City of Huntington Beach Printed on 5/29/2019Page 17 of 17 powered by Legistar™475 SUGGESTED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 18157 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 17-042 SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA: The Planning Commission finds that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment and is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15182 of the CEQA Guidelines and Government Code 65457, because the project is a mixed-use development that conforms with the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan for which Program EIR No. 08-008 was adopted and implementation of the project would not result in any new or more severe potentially adverse environmental impacts that were not considered in the Final EIR for the BECSP. Compliance with all applicable mitigation measures adopted for the Specific Plan will be required of the project. In light of the whole record, none of the circumstances described under Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines are present and, therefore, no EIR or MND is required. The Project, located on the north side of Ellis Avenue between Beach Boulevard and Patterson Lane, consists of a four-story mixed-use building including 48 condominium residences with on- site public and private open space, a three level subterranean parking structure and 891 square feet of commercial space. The development site is located within the Town Center Neighborhood Segment of the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP) area. The City certified Program EIR No. 08-008 on December 8, 2009 and adopted the BECSP on March 1, 2010. In 2015, the City Council amended the BECSP to reduce the Maximum Amount of New Development to 2,100 total new dwelling units including 725 units on Beach Boulevard. There are 200 undeveloped units remaining within the MAND on Beach Boulevard. The 48 units contemplated by the project is within the total new dwelling units permitted on Beach Boulevard under the approved BECSP. The project conforms to all standards and regulations of the BECSP development code. Accordingly, no changes requiring revision of the previously certified Program EIR are proposed as part of the project, nor have any circumstances changed requiring revision of the previously certified Program EIR. In addition, no new information identifies that implementation of the BECSP, including the project, will have significant effects that were not discussed in the previously certified Program EIR or that the significant effects identified in the certified Program EIR will be substantially more severe than determined in the Program EIR. Nor is there new information showing that mitigation measures or alternatives not previously adopted would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 18157: 1. Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 for the consolidation of three parcels into one 0.95 acre parcel is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element designation of Mixed Use on the subject property. The project complies with all applicable code provisions of the Subdivision Map Act, Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance, and Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan. The project will result in the demolition of an existing commercial building, one dwelling unit, and a portion of a former car wash and facilitate the development of a mixed-use building permitted by code. The proposed subdivision is consistent with goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan Land Use Element that govern new subdivisions and residential development. 476 2. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development in that the project site is able to accommodate the type of development proposed from a public service, circulation, and drainage perspective. The site is located within the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan, which permits mixed-use buildings and residential uses within close proximity of commercial uses. The specific plan is a form-based code that does not rely on density to limit development, but rather the building form to create an attractive public experience appealing to pedestrians. By merging the three existing lots into one, the site will function as an integrated development compatible with the vision of the growing urban Beach Boulevard corridor. 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 wildlife or their habitat because the site has been previously used as a car wash, one dwelling unit, and a convenience store. The site does not contain any significant habitat for wildlife or fish. Design features of the project as well as compliance with the provisions of the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan will ensure that the subdivision will not significantly impact the function and value of any resources adjacent to the project site. The project will comply with applicable mitigation measures pursuant to Program EIR No. 08- 008. 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. Vehicular access is provided via a driveway along Ellis Avenue. The subdivision will provide all necessary street, sidewalk, and utility easements to serve the new subdivision. The project will dedicate four feet of land to widen the existing sidewalk (public right-of-way) along Ellis Avenue. The project will provide all necessary easements and will not affect any existing easements. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL – CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 17- 042: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 for the development of a mixed-use building consisting of 48 condominium residences, 891 sf. of retail space and associated infrastructure and site improvements will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood because as conditioned, the project will result in less than significant impacts related to traffic, noise, lighting, aesthetics, and privacy of adjacent residences. Existing multi-family residences adjacent to the east will be buffered from the project by an approximately 33 ft. 7 in. setback on the east side of the project site consisting of landscaping and a driveway. Residents of the project and the general public, including nearby residents, will benefit from the new commercial portion of the building and the public plaza. Based upon the conditions of approval and BECSP mitigation measures, the proposed project will not result in significant impacts onto adjacent properties in that the project complies with setbacks, onsite parking requirements, and allowable building height. The project is a four-story building that is compatible with surrounding developments in terms of architectural design and scale pursuant to the massing and scale requirements of the BECSP. The proposed mixed-use development will be compatible with the surrounding multi-family residential uses and commercial uses in terms of density, layout and overall design. With the conditions of 477 approval imposed, the project’s grading and drainage pattern will result in compatible finished grades between adjacent properties. 2. The proposed project will comply with the Town Center Neighborhood Segment of the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan, and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) because the project complies with all other setback standards, building height, top and base architectural element requirements, and parking. 3. The General Plan Land Use Map designation on the subject property is currently M-sp (Mixed Use – Specific Plan Overlay). Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 for the development of a mixed-use building consisting of 48 condominium residences, 891 sf. of retail space and associated infrastructure and site improvements is consistent with this designation and the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan as follows: 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. Policy 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. Policy LU-1B: Ensure new development supports the protection and maintenance of environmental and open spaces resources. Policy LU-1C: Support infill development, consolidation of parcels, and adaptive reuse of existing buildings. Policy LU-1D: Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale and character to complement adjoining uses. Policy LU-2D: Maintain and protect residential neighborhoods by avoiding encroachment of incompatible land uses. Policy LU-3A: Ensure that future development and reuse projects are consistent with the Land Use Map to provide connections between existing neighborhoods and city attractions. Goal LU-4: A range of housing types is available to meet the diverse economic, physical, and social needs of future and existing residents, while neighborhood character and residences are well maintained and protected. Policy LU-4A: Encourage a mix of residential types to accommodate people with diverse housing needs. Policy LU-4B: Improve options for people to live near work and public transit. 478 Goal LU-13: The city provides opportunities for new businesses and employees to ensure a high quality of life and thriving industry. Policy LU-13A: Encourage expansion of the range of goods and services provided to accommodate the needs of all residents and the market area. The proposed development is consistent with the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan which encourages buildings to orient towards streets, wider walkways, and large open space areas to enhance the pedestrian and public experience. Approximately 2,703 sq. ft. of public open space will be provided in a plaza accessible from Ellis Avenue. This area will be designed with enhanced landscaping, seating areas, and visually appealing amenities. The architecture of the building is contemporary, incorporating notches, major façade offsets, and façade composition changes to break up the massing of the building at street frontages. Brick veneer is applied along the base of the building with canopies at entrances to cater to the pedestrian scale. The façade skyline is then capped with parapets and articulating rooflines. Additionally, this mixed-use development will provide an on-site commercial component and is proposed within close proximity of new and existing commercial uses thus reducing the need for automobile use. By permitting a mix of land uses closer together, greater interaction will occur between developments and further the vision and viability of the BECSP. Housing Element Policy 2.1 Variety of Housing Choices: Provide site opportunities for development of housing that responds to diverse community needs in terms of housing types, cost and location, emphasizing locations near services and transit that promote walkability. Policy 2.2 Residential Mixed Use: Facilitate the efficient use of land by allowing and encouraging commercial and residential uses on the same property in both horizontal and vertical mixed-use configurations. Policy 2.3 Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan: Encourage and facilitate the provision of housing affordable to lower income households within the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan. Policy 6.4 Transportation Alternatives and Walkability: Incorporate transit and other transportation alternatives including walking and bicycling into the design of new development, particularly in areas within a half mile of designated transit stops. The suggested conditions of approval for Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 would ensure that the project is developed in accordance with the proposed project narrative and guarantee that the project provides 5 onsite affordable housing 479 units. The project represents new housing in the City that will help to fulfill the City’s share of the regional housing need. The proposed project would accommodate and is designed to appeal to different age groups and household types. A minimum of ten percent of the units are required to be designated for affordable housing. The project applicant proposes to provide five on-site affordable housing units in order to comply with the affordable housing requirement. Residents will benefit from the proximity of the project to different activities and uses. The project provides opportunities and convenience for many households to use alternate travel modes such as walking, bicycling, and public transit to complete their daily routines and run errands, thereby serving the need for affordable housing for this segment of the population. Circulation Element Goal CIRC-3a: Convenient and efficient connections between regional transit and areas of employment, shopping, recreation, and housing will increase ridership and active mobility, with a focus on first/last mile solutions. Goal CIRC-6: Connected, well-maintained, and well-designed sidewalks, bike lanes, equestrian paths, and waterways allow for both leisurely use and day-to- day required activities in a safe and efficient manner for all ages and abilities. Policy CIRC-6(C): Require new commercial and residential projects to integrate with pedestrian and bicycle networks, and that necessary land area is provided for the infrastructure. The proposed streetscape will create continuity with new and existing development along the Beach Boulevard corridor by providing a sidewalk with new landscaping to buffer pedestrians from the vehicular thoroughfare. Pedestrian connectivity is improved with landscaping and architectural elements through the proposed public open space and wider sidewalks. The project is serviced by an existing bus stop at the intersection of Beach Blvd. and Ellis Ave. and also provides bicycle parking in the subterranean parking structure to accommodate alternative methods of transportation.

The new development will demolish the existing liquor store at 8041 Ellis Avenue, the single family residence behind the liquor store and part of the lot adjacent to the Metro car wash at 18400 Beach Boulevard to build a new four story mixed use building with an approximately 891 s.f. retail use on the ground floor along Ellis Avenue and a combination of single and two bedroom condominium units throughout the remainder of the approximately 79,000 s.f. building. The proposed unit mix would be 42- 2 bedroom units - approximately 880 s.f. ea. and 6 single bedroom units - approximately 645 s.f. ea. for a total of 48 units overall. The City of Huntington Beach Business Development staff provided the total number of required affordable housing units to be 4.8. The developer is seeking to provide 5-affordable units overall. Parking to serve the development will consist of three sub-grade levels for a total of 128 parking stalls. The intention is for the units to be sold to individual buyers so there will be no permanent on-site staff. Building maintenance and regular up-keep and cleaning will be handled by the owners management team via contracts with local services. This new development will be an enhancement to the community by adding a modern environmentally friendly & small scale mixed use complex with unit pricing sized to suit the average consumer. The location allows owners to visit amenities such as Helme Park, medical, dental and eye care centers as well as local markets all within a short walking distance. Public transportation is close by as well via the existing bus stop on Beach Boulevard in front of the Metro Car Wash. Owners on the upper floors of the south and west side units will be afforded serene ocean views and breezes to help enhance their lifestyles.

I'm hoping that my email is as sufficient at voicing my concerns for this complex. I am born and raised in Huntington Beach and I currently live at 18311 Patterson Ave, #2.This is my third time living on this street in the last ten years and I have currently been in my apartment for 4 years. My neighborhood, which is directly behind this proposed site, already has horrendous parking due to the entire neighborhood being fourplexes. We have been having a problem with Elan parking on our street because they do not want to pay for the monthly parking fee to park there on top of their astronomical rent. I have actually spoken to residents while they park in front of my house. They also told me that they tell their guest to park on our street as well. We see people every day walking to and from their cars and Elan. (And no, they are not using the crosswalk on beach) I have been petitioning to get our neighborhood permit parking and all of the residents are in favor of this. On top of the terrible parking, getting in and out of the neighborhood is horrendous. I can't even come out on my own street because the traffic is often backed up all the way to the next exit. Sometimes I can't even get out on that street (Goodwin). This intersection is already a dangerous area and I was almost t- boned coming into my tract on Monday morning on my way home from work. Adding even more traffic and congestion to this intersection will be a disservice to the city and increase the amount of accidents that already occur here. I personally know someone who was side swiped due to someone making a left turn out of the DK/jack in the box parking lot, which is I'm sure the proposed driveway for this complex. I know these complexes are all about making money for the developers, who have already greased the palms of numerous council members to push this through. Our residents do not want this! Most of these complexes have rent so high that most people can't even afford it. I really hope this email helps keep this eye sore off this corner and keep traffic and accidents to a minimum and safety as the highest priority.

Is the project proposal consistent with the City of Huntington Beach’s adopted land use regulations (i.e. General Plan, Zoning Map and Zoning Code including the Beach and Edinger City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/6/2019Page 1 of 5 powered by Legistar™583 File #:19-666 MEETING DATE:6/11/2019 Corridors Specific Plan)? 2. Does the project satisfy all the findings required for approval of a Tentative Tract Map and Conditional Use Permit? RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission take the following action: A) Consider the suggested findings for denial of Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 and Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 as directed by the Planning Commission on May 28, 2019. PROJECT PROPOSAL: Background: On May 28, 2019, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the project proposal to consolidate three parcels for a one-lot condominium map and development of a 48 unit mixed-use project as described in the May 28, 2019 staff report (Attachment No. 2). The requested permits to allow such development included 1) Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 and 2) Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042. The Planning Commission held a public hearing, considered public testimony, deliberated on the project and expressed concerns related to the required findings, and directed staff to return with suggested findings for denial at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission scheduled for June 11, 2019 (Attachment No. 1). Tentative Tract Map: Per Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) Section 251.08(F), the Planning Commission shall deny approval of a tentative subdivision map if it determines that approval will result in any of the conditions as described in Government Code Section 66474. The conditions described in Government Code Section 66474 are as follows: (a) That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans. (b) That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans. (c) That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development. (d) That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development. (e) That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvement are likely to cause substantial environmental damage and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. (f) That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause serious public health problems. (g) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. After considering public testimony the Planning Commission discussed the project and expressed concerns relating to conditions (b), (c), and (d) listed above. In particular, the Planning Commission expressed concerns that approval of the project would result in the following conditions for the reasons specified: ·Approval of the project would result in a design of the proposed subdivision that is not City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/6/2019Page 2 of 5 powered by Legistar™584 File #:19-666 MEETING DATE:6/11/2019 ·Approval of the project would result in a design of the proposed subdivision that is not consistent with the General Plan and Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP) in that the project design fails to further a number of goals and policies contained within the General Plan and BECSP. More particular detail and analysis is contained below. ·Approval of the project would result in a site that is not physically suitable for the type of development in that the site will not function as an integrated development compatible with the vision of the BECSP by merging three existing lots into a single long and narrow 0.95 acre parcel. The long and narrow parcel is not physically suitable for the proposed mass, bulk, and intensity of the proposed four story mixed use project and does not complement the scale and proportion of surrounding one and two-story developments. The project will generate conflicts with vehicular circulation on Ellis Ave. and there will be no connectivity for bicyclists to continue onto Beach Blvd. ·Approval of the project would result in a site that is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development in that the proposed project results in a density of approximately 50 dwelling units per acre while the adjacent residential property is built at an aggregate density of 13 dwelling units per acre. The proposed project does not further the following General Plan and BECSP goals and policies: 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. Policy LU-1D:Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale and character to complement adjoining uses. Goal LU-3:Neighborhoods and attractions are connected and accessible to all residents, employees, and visitors. Policy LU-3A:Ensure that future development and reuse projects are consistent with the Land Use Map to provide connections between existing neighborhoods and city attractions. Policy LU-3C: Ensure connections are well maintained and safe for users. Circulation Element Goal CIRC-1c:Through ongoing evaluation of jurisdiction, efficient transportation management provides the highest level of safety, service and resources. Policy CIRC-1F:Require development projects to provide circulation improvements to achieve stated City goals and to mitigate to the maximum extent feasible traffic impacts to adjacent land uses and neighborhoods as well as vehicular conflicts related to the project. Policy CIRC - 1G: Limit driveway access points, require driveways to be wide enough to accommodate traffic flow from and to arterial roadways, and establish mechanisms to consolidate driveways where feasible and necessary to minimize impacts to the smooth, City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/6/2019Page 3 of 5 powered by Legistar™585 File #:19-666 MEETING DATE:6/11/2019 efficient, and controlled flow of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. The proposed lot consolidation, subdivision, design and improvement is not consistent with the above goals and policies of the General Plan or the BECSP because the infill project is not compatible in density, intensity, proportion, scale, and character with the surrounding land uses and does not complement the adjoining uses in that the proposed four story mixed use development is significantly more intense than the adjacent one-story commercial and two- story multi-family residential developments. The BECSP encourages buildings to orient towards streets and provide enhancements to the pedestrian and public experience. However, in the proposed project, approximately five percent of the building length is oriented towards Ellis Ave. while the remainder is oriented to the established residences to the east and commercial uses to the west. Further, the project architectural design and scale is not compatible with the vision of the BECSP. The adjacent properties will be impacted by the height and massing of the proposed project. The length and height of the proposed building is not compatible with the long, narrow characteristics of the 0.95 acre site because it is too bulky and too intense for the available land area. The project does not support the vibrant commercial corridor envisioned in the BECSP Five Points District because only one and a half percent (1.5%) of the total square footage of the project is allocated to commercial use. The proposed project does not create continuity with new and existing development along the Beach Boulevard corridor because the project does not propose to augment or expand the existing bikeways. Furthermore, ingress and egress to the project site generates conflicts with the flow of traffic on Ellis Ave. There is no access or connectivity to the project site from Beach Blvd and insufficient vehicular access is provided via a single driveway along Ellis Avenue. Motorists exiting the project site will be unable to safely turn left onto Ellis Ave. from the driveway and motorists entering the project site from eastbound Ellis Ave. will be unable to turn left into the project site due to congestion and narrow roadway widths. Residents and visitors cannot directly access the project site from eastbound Ellis Ave. and must continue past the project to Patterson Ln. to make a U-Turn on Ellis Ave., resulting in inefficient vehicular movements. Additionally, even though motorists will be required to exit the project via a right hand turn onto Ellis Ave., motorists who do not abide by this restriction may create vehicular hazards and conflicts due to frequent congestion and queuing on Ellis Ave. Per Section 251.08(F) of the HBZSO if the Planning Commission determines that any of the conditions listed in Government Code Section 66474 (and listed in this staff report for reference) would result as a consequence of approval of the project, the Planning Commission shall deny approval of the tentative subdivision map. These findings are reflected in Attachment No. 1. Conditional Use Permit: Per HBZSO Section 241.10, related to required findings for conditional use permits and variances, subsection C requires the Planning Commission to deny a conditional use permit if it cannot make all of the required findings under subsection A, which are as follows: 1. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the use will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity nor detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/6/2019Page 4 of 5 powered by Legistar™586 File #:19-666 MEETING DATE:6/11/2019 2. The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan. 3. The proposed use will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20 through 25 and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located. After considering public testimony the Planning Commission discussed the project and expressed concerns relating to finding 3 listed above. In particular, the Planning Commission expressed concerns that the project does not further the vision of the Town Center Neighborhood Segment of the BECSP, which envisions a vibrant commercial corridor within the Five Points District of the BECSP. The proposed project is located within the Five Points District and does not further a vibrant commercial corridor because only one and a half percent (1.5%) of the total square footage of the project is allocated to commercial use, there is insufficient vehicular ingress and egress to the site, and the project proposes marginal public open space that does not contribute to the BECSP’s vision of walkability and pedestrian connections between public and private property. Per Section 241.10, subsection C of the HBZSO, if the Planning Commission cannot make all of the required findings under subsection A (listed in this staff report for reference) the Planning Commission is required to deny the conditional use permit. These findings are reflected in Attachment No. 1. ATTACHMENTS: 1.Suggested Findings for Denial of TTM No. 18157 and CUP No. 17-042 2.

Approval of the project would result in a design of the proposed subdivision that is not consistent with the General Plan and Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP) in that the project design fails to further a number of goals and policies conta ined within the General Plan and BECSP.

Approval of the project would result in a site that is not physically suitable for the type of development in that the site will not function as an integrated development compatible with the vision of the BECSP by merging three existing lots into a single long and narrow 0.95 acre parcel. The long and narrow parcel is not physically suitable for the proposed mass, bulk, and intensity of the proposed four story mixed use project and does not complement the scale and proportion of surrounding one and two-story developments. The project will generate conflicts with vehicular circulation on Ellis Ave. and there will be no connectivity for bicyclists to continue onto Beach Blvd. 3. Approval of the project would result in a site that is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development in that the proposed project results in a density of approximately 50 dwelling units per acre while the adjacent residential property is built at an aggregate density of 13 dwelling units per acre. The design and improvement of proposed Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 does not further the goals and policies of the General Plan or the BECSP as follows: 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. Policy LU-1D: Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale and character to complement adjoining uses. Goal LU-3: Neighborhoods and attractions are connected and accessible to all residents, employees, and visitors. Policy LU-3A: Ensure that future development and reuse projects are consistent with the Land Use Map to provide connections between existing neighborhoods and city attractions. Policy LU-3C: Ensure connections are well maintained and safe for users. 588 Circulation Element Goal CIRC-1c: Through ongoing evaluation of jurisdiction, efficient transportation management provides the highest level of safety, service and resources. Policy CIRC-1F: Require development projects to provide circulation improvements to achieve stated City goals and to mitigate to the maximum extent feasible traffic impacts to adjacent land uses and neighborhoods as well as vehicular conflicts related to the project. Policy CIRC – 1G: Limit driveway access points, require driveways to be wide enough to accommodate traffic flow from and to arterial roadways, and establish mechanisms to consolidate driveways where feasible and necessary to minimize impacts to the smooth, efficient, and controlled flow of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. The proposed lot consolidation, subdivision, design and improvement is not consistent with the above goals and policies of the General Plan or the BECSP because the infill project is not compatible in density, intensity, proportion, scale, and character with the surrounding land uses and does not complement the adjoining uses in that the proposed four story mixed use development is significantly more intense than the adjacent one-story commercial and two-story multi-family residential developments. The BECSP encourages buildings to orient towards streets and provide enhancements to the pedestrian and public experience. However, in the proposed project, approximately five percent of the building length is oriented towards Ellis Ave. while the remainder is oriented to the established residences to the east and commercial uses to the west. Further, the project architectural design and scale is not compatible with the vision of the BECSP. The adjacent properties will be impacted by the height and massing of the proposed project. The length and height of the proposed building is not compatible with the long, narrow characteristics of the 0.95 acre site because it is too bulky and too intense for the available land area. The project does not support the vibrant commercial corridor envisioned in the BECSP Five Points District because only one and a half percent (1.5%) of the total square footage of the project is allocated to commercial use. The proposed project does not create continuity with new and existing development along the Beach Boulevard corridor because the project does not propose to augment or expand the existing bikeways. Furthermore, ingress and egress to the project site generates conflicts with the flow of traffic on Ellis Ave. There is no access or connectivity to t he project site from Beach Blvd and insufficient vehicular access is provided via a single driveway along Ellis Avenue. Motorists exiting the project site will be unable to safely turn left onto Ellis Ave. from the driveway and motorists entering the proj ect site from eastbound Ellis Ave. will be unable to turn left into the project site due to congestion and narrow roadway widths. Residents and visitors cannot directly access the project site from eastbound Ellis Ave. and must continue past the project to Patterson Ln. to make a U- Turn on Ellis Ave., resulting in inefficient vehicular movements. Additionally, even though motorists will be required to exit the project via a right hand turn onto Ellis Ave., motorists who do not abide by this restriction may create vehicular hazards and conflicts due to frequent congestion and queuing on Ellis Ave. 589 SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 17-042: The Planning Commission finds and determines that it is unable to make all of the required findings, contained in Section 241.10(A) of the HBZSO, for reasons more particularly described below: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042 for the development of a mixed-use building consisting of 48 condominium residences and 891 sf. of retail space will not comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20 through 25 and any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located in that the project does not further the vision of the Town Center Neighborhood Segment of the BECSP, which envisions a vibrant commercial corridor within the Five Points District of the BECSP. The proposed project is located within the Five Points District and does not further a vibrant commercial corridor because only one and a half percent (1.5%) of the total square footage of the project is allocated to commercial use, there is insufficient vehicular ingress and egress to the site, and the project proposes marginal public open space that does not contribute to the BECSP’s vision of walkability and pedestrian connections between public and private property 590 591 592 593 594 595 596 597 598 599 600 601 602 603 604 605 606 607 608 609 610 611 612 613 614 615 616 617 618 619 620 621 622 623 1 Aube, Nicolle From:James, Jane Sent:Wednesday, July 24, 2019 1:11 PM To:Luna-Reynosa, Ursula; Villasenor, Jennifer; Aube, Nicolle Subject:FW: 🆕MyHB-#175843 City Council [06637] FYI Jane James | Planning Manager City of Huntington Beach Department of Community Development 714.536.5596 | jjames@surfcity‐hb.org From: Esparza, Patty <PEsparza@surfcity‐hb.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2019 12:58 PM To: James, Jane <jjames@surfcity‐hb.org> Subject: FW: 🆕 MyHB‐#175843 City Council [06637] Communication received on the Ellis Ave. condo project being appealed.

Your Planning Commission denied their request to build these condos after a lengthy discussion of the many reasons this building is not a good fit nor intended to fit with the BECP. I am sure you are aware of the many issues why the Planning Commission denied their request. Issues such as entry and exit of the apartments, the shade study which the developers presented was found to be completely flawed, the "coffee shop" which does not fit with the intent of the BECP, just too big of a building for such a small narrow space. I could go on, but I think you are all aware of how this project is NOT a good fit for this area. In the event you have not driven down Ellis in the morning or afternoon, give it a try during "rush hour". Quite often westbound traffic is backed up to Goodwin Ln and sometimes as far back as Chapel Ln. To throw in an apartment entrance and exit on Ellis would do nothing but increase this traffic and subject the area to more accidents by people trying to make a U turn on Ellis to come back and make the "right turn only" entrance into this proposed building. As a long time resident of Huntington Beach, this is not a good idea. As I mentioned earlier, your Planning Commission denied the project by a 6-1 vote. I am asking you to deny the Developers appeal of this project. Thank you, Steve Farnsworth 18401 Goodwin Ln.

California Government Code § 65589.5, the Housing Accountability Act, prohibits localities from denying housing development projects that are compliant with the locality’s Zoning Ordinance and General Plan at the time the application was deemed complete, unless the locality can make findings that the proposed housing development would be a threat to public health and safety. The most relevant section is copied below: (j) When a proposed housing development project complies with applicable, objective general plan and zoning standards and criteria, including design review standards, in effect at the time that the housing development project's application is determined to be complete, but the local agency proposes to disapprove the project or to approve it upon the condition that the project be developed at a lower density, the local agency shall base its decision regarding 626 the proposed housing development project upon written findings supported by substantial evidence on the record that both of the following conditions exist: (1) The housing development project would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety unless the project is disapproved or approved upon the condition that the project be developed at a lower density. As used in this paragraph, a "specific, adverse impact" means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete. (2) There is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the adverse impact identified pursuant to paragraph (1), other than the disapproval of the housing development project or the approval of the project upon the condition that it be developed at a lower density. The Applicant proposes to construct a 48-unit, 4-story mixed use building on a 0.95 acre site within the Beach and Edinger Corridor Specific Plan (SP 14). The above captioned proposal is zoning compliant and general plan compliant, therefore, your local agency must approve the application, or else make findings to the effect that the proposed project would have an adverse impact on public health and safety, as described above. In their denial of the project, the Huntington Beach Planning Commission failed to provide objective criteria that the project violates. Instead the Planning Commission made subjective assertions about the project’s conformity with the Specific Plan (SP 14) that do not constitute valid conditions for denial and contradict the actual content of the Specific Plan. CaRLA is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation whose mission is to restore a legal environment in which California builds housing equal to its needs, which we pursue through public impact litigation and providing educational programs to California city officials and their staff. Sincerely, Sonja Trauss Co-Executive Director California Renters Legal Advocacy and Education Fund California Renters Legal Advocacy and Education Fund - hi@carlaef.org 1260 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103 627 California Renters Legal Advocacy and Education Fund - hi@carlaef.org 1260 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103 628 629 630 631 1 Aube, Nicolle From:Tahir Salim <salimtheone@yahoo.com> Sent:Tuesday, August 06, 2019 2:53 PM To:Aube, Nicolle Cc:Scott Yorkison Subject:Continuance of the meeting Nicole, Based on our conversation regarding 2 members being absent on the 19th, please move my hearing date to the September 3rd.

Government Code section 54954.6 requires that a public meeting be held, to provide members of the public an opportunity to comment on the renewed assessment. Conducting this public meeting satisfies the statutory required step in the DTBID, and the Public Hearing scheduled for September 16. The modifications would increase the assessment for businesses within Zone 1 by 17% under the categories of Retail Business, Restaurants, Hotels, Services/Office, and Cart/Kiosk. Financial Impact: No Fiscal Impact. Recommended Action: Open the public meeting to allow members of the public to provide comments. Alternative Action(s): Direct staff as necessary. Analysis: In September 2004, the City Council approved Resolution No. 3661, establishing the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (DTBID) to fund promotional activities benefiting all businesses within the district area. In addition, pursuant to State Law, the City Council appointed an Advisory Board for the District. The purpose of the BID Advisory Board is to make recommendations to the City Council regarding the expenditures of revenues derived from the assessments, on the City of Huntington Beach Printed on 8/28/2019Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™669 File #:19-875 MEETING DATE:9/3/2019 classifications of businesses, and on the method of levying the assessments. The Advisory Board recommendations are then considered by the City Council at a noticed public meeting and approved or modified by the City Council. In February 2008, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3797, which amended Ordinance No. 3661, to change the manner in which the District’s Advisory Board was selected. Following adoption of Ordinance No. 3797, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2008-04 appointing a non-profit corporation known as the Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (the “Non- Profit Corporation”) to act as the Advisory Board for the District. The Non-Profit Corporation has continued to act as the Advisory Board for the District since the adoption of the Resolution. In April 2017, the City Council recommended that the DTBID retain the services of an outside, industry-specific consultant to review and evaluate the DTBID’s operations and structure, and provide recommendations to improve the functionality and professionalism of an organization to the benefit of its members. The DTBID subsequently contracted with the International Downtown Association (IDA) to review the DTBID. The panel spent significant time in the Downtown area, interviewed over 55 stakeholders, and in July 2017, produced a report detailing their observations and recommendations. Changes to the DTBID budget, organizational structure, and employee compensation were recommended. In July 25 2019, at a Directors special BID meeting, the committee voted in favor of amending the boundary map and assessment formula from the current year. The northeast corner of Main Street and Orange Avenue (which is under construction) has been added to Zone 1. Fees for businesses within Zone 1 under categories Retail Businesses, Restaurants, Hotels, Services/Office, and Cart/Kiosk have been increased by 17%. For businesses under the category of Services/Office that are located on the second floor, a new category has been created based on square footage. In addition, a new category, Seasonal, has been created for businesses that are open fewer than nine months per year. This category includes the beach cabanas businesses.

ABOUT The Huntington Beach Downtown Business Improvement District (HBDBID) is an organization formed in 2004 by the City Council at the request of the businesses within the downtown area. The purpose of the Business Improvement District is to fund and promote activities which benefit businesses located and operating in the HBDBID assessment zone within the City of Huntington Beach. The businesses within the boundaries are assessed an annual HBDBID fee based on their size, location and business type. The HBDBID Board of Directors are selected through an election process by the stakeholders located within the Downtown Business District boundaries. The Directors act as an Advisory Board, making recommendations to the City Council on the expenditures of revenues derived from the assessments to strengthen, improve and enhance the experience of those visiting and doing business within the HBDBID boundaries. 675 2 2018 - 2019 HBDBID BOARD OF DIRECTORS “Great things in business are never done by one person.” – Steve Jobs EXECUTIVE BOARD: President: DAVE SHENKMAN Vice President: BRETT BARNES Kite Connection Duke’s Huntington Beach Secretary: MOE KANOUDI Treasurer: KATE LEIGH Main Street Eyeware & Boutique A Street Partners, 5th & PCH Past President: MATT PETERSON Legend’s Surf City DIRECTORS: MURATA “COACH” KOC MIKE WILLIAMS Coach’s Mediterranean Grill The Longboard Restaurant & Pub DANNY OTHMAN SUSIE WORTHY 602 Café ME Helme Antiques MICHELLE VESPE Healing Beauty STAFF: Interim HBDBID Executive Director JOHN GILBERT Surf City Nights & Event Coordinator DARCI HENDERSON Administrative Assistant FAITH WOMACK Downtown Huntington Beach is the beating heart of our community. Nearly 40% of our businesses have been serving customers for over ten years! QUICK GLANCE: The HBDBID exists to positively affect the business climate in the downtown district. Duke’s Huntington Beach celebrated its 20th Anniversary in October 2018. In fact, 42 businesses have been serving downtown customers for well over 20 years. Here is a quick glance of the Years in Business for our downtown business members: 14 members in business downtown for over 30 years = 5% 28 for 20-30 years = 11% 59 for 10-20 years = 22% 57 for 5-10 years = 23% 102 for 1- 5 years = 39% 30+ Years 20-30 Years 5-10 Years 10-20 Years 1-5 Years YEARS IN BUSINESS IN DOWNTOWN 676 3 HIGHLIGHTS 2018 – 2019 In the 2018-2019 year, The HBDBID launched a new website, increased security, and designated community dollar support to the HB International Surfing Museum, HB Art Center, and HB Children’s Library. Currently, BID Management is ready to implement a new software program to improve communication, maintenance of member information, and records or other relevant requests from business members. Around town, owners for both commercial and residential properties made important investments in the downtown district. Compass Realty moved into new luxury offices in the re-purposed, renovated building at 301 Olive Street (Former site of 24 hour Fitness) Ruby’s redesigned their stunning oceanfront upstairs dining to add a tropical getaway destination location for downtown. “Jan & Dean’s Tiki’s Lounge” and Mangiamo Gelato returned to the renovated building at 126 Main Street. We are excited for the new construction at 401 Main Street, bringing future retail and office opportunities to the downtown district. In 2018-2019, we welcomed new wayfinding from Visit HB, and improved public restrooms from the City. This annual report highlights the 2018-2019 HBDBID’s efforts to positively impact the business district in accordance to its mission related to the marketing, safety, maintenance, tourism, parking, and specific events. Additionally, the report provides relevant financial information and addresses current priorities. 677 4 MARKETING & ADVERTISING FOR THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS DISTRICT A new and improved HBDOWNTOWN.COM WEBSITE launched in March 2019. We are finishing the few final pages, and are pleased with the updated design of this important marketing tool. One of the best improvements is the friendly interface with our member directory, improving the ability of our visitors to locate and link directly to our member businesses. E-NEWSLETTERS CONTINUE TO BE A WELL-RECEIVED MARKETING TOOL FOR BUILDING A POSITIVE IMAGE OF HUNTINGTON BEACH DOWNTOWN. We currently reach over 6600 subscribers with monthly newsletters.

We actively follow our business members on social media, increasing their reach by sharing on our platforms. Facebook.com/hbdowntown | Twitter.com/hbdowntownusa Intagram.com/hbdowntownusa | YouTube.com/hbdowntown 678 5 SAFETY Ever since its conception, the HBDBID has been deeply committed to ensuring that the downtown district is safe and welcoming. In July 2014, the HBDBID partnered with Visit Huntington Beach to provide Ambassador service 365 days a year. Ambassadors answer visitor questions and act as eyes and ears to improve public safety. In addition to daytime Ambassadors, HBDBID helps to fund evening Ambassadors for our popular Thursday – Saturday late night crowds. In July 2018, the HBDBID launched a trial program to provide daytime security patrols. With uniformed security personnel supplementing the presence of Ambassadors, the downtown district manages public safety concerns such as skateboarding, homeless, individuals possibly disturbing the peace, and more. The trial program was well-received. In May 2019 the HBDBID board entered into a contract with Allied Universal, to provide private security daily for our destination. The HBDBID has invested over $100K annually to maintaining this vital program. By working closely with law enforcements in their efforts to monitor and manage homelessness activity in downtown we ensure the safety of our customers and guests while giving our businesses the opportunity to succeed. The HBDBID continues to advocate for appropriate police coverage and meet regularly to discuss ways the HBDBID can assist in improving safety. 679 6 MAINTENANCE & BEAUTIFICATION The HBDBID and City of Huntington Beach work together through a MOU currently authorizing $160,000 annually for sidewalk cleaning in HB Downtown. This maintenance partnership with the City is credited for providing a cleaner, more beautiful downtown district. Day Porters maintain cleanliness in most downtown areas, except for private buildings that provide their own cleaning service. Porters are responsible for litter, trash removal, spot mopping of sidewalks, minor graffiti removal, dusting storefront sills and gum removal. Steam / Power Washing is a critical element in our maintenance program which includes steam cleaning of sidewalks throughout the downtown district, including alleys and gutters, with service increased during the busy summer months. For nearly 15 years, the HBDBID has provided a tremendous service to our destination by managing this contract and ensuring that downtown is clean and welcoming. HBDBID staff communicates with the City Public Works Department to keep on top of any issues as they arise. In 2018-2019 the HBDBID funded $10,000 to upgrade planter boxes, providing an inviting place for our visitors to rest along Main Street, enjoying an ice cream, people watching, or waiting while friends and family stroll in and out of one of our shops. PARKING Parking accessibility, availability, and the overall cleanliness and safety of the city parking lot is a key component of the visitor experience to HB Downtown. CONVENIENT PARKING and PUBLIC RESTROOMS is an ongoing concern for the HBDBID. In recent years, the city refreshed the paint and improved the lighting in the parking structure. Residents and visitors alike can visit the downtown district by riding the FREE Surf City Shuttle, provided by Visit HB during summer weekends. 680 7 TOURISM is a key component to business opportunities in Huntington Beach Downtown. While the HBDBID focuses on creating a sense of community pride and possesses a deep appreciation and affection for our local shoppers and diners, we are equally in love with our visitors from out of town. This quick glance of a recent page on Trip Advisor shows where visitors are traveling from and what they are saying about us: Downtown Huntington Beach loves mixing locals with tourists, reinforcing Huntington Beach as a premier Southern California tourist destination. The uniqueness of our downtown district plays a critical role in why business and leisure travelers alike chose to stay at one of our Oceanfront hotels or resorts. With over 1,400 oceanfront guestrooms in the area, we recognize our responsibility to ensure guest satisfaction, and build a return customer base. 681 8 BID SIGNATURE EVENTS SURF CITY NIGHTS Each Signature Event is designed to bring locals and visitors to our downtown destination. For our residents, these events provide an important sense of community pride, adding value to our city and positively impact the quality of life for those who live here. For our hotel guests and other visitors, these special events add to the attraction and uniqueness of our “Nothing Else Like It!” destination, creating memorable experiences for everyone. HBDBID’S success with Surf City Nights makes it possible to bring other special events to downtown throughout the year. Surf City Nights - Weekly Street Fair & Certified Farmers’ Market Since the Business Improvement District first created Surf City Nights as a year round event in 2007, this signature event has established itself as the largest year-round weekly festival in Southern California. SURF CITY NIGHTS features over 90 unique vendors, stretching up the first three blocks of Main Street. In addition to providing significant funds, and increasing visitors to the downtown destination weekly. Surf City nights provides booth space for city services, local non-profit groups, a venue for youth and local entertainers, and an Information Booth to help guide visitors and promote upcoming downtown events. 682 9 BID SIGNATURE EVENT HALLOWEENFEST It was another memorable event, as we welcomed record numbers of trick-or-treaters to a safe and friendly downtown experience. The Kids & Canine Costume Contest on 5th & PCH provided the perfect setting for hundreds of participants and spectators. FREE CANDY plus free attractions on Main Street such as inflatables, bounce houses, slides, games, and reptile zoo added to the family fun memories. Families also loved visiting with our Police, Fire & Marine Safety along with our Park & Recreation staff crafts table. This special event helps define downtown as a fun family destination. Visit HBDowntown.com to see the dozens more smile-making memories. 683 10 BID SIGNATURE EVENT MIRACLE ON MAIN STREET - TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY This Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony has grown into a wonderful tradition for our local families. The holiday décor expenditure is a significant percent of the HBDBID budget, representing the commitment of the businesses in downtown to provide a place for families to gather during the season. We are proud to be the place where families and friends gather to make memories and experience a sense of pride in their city. With a sparkling new tree over the fountain, HB Downtown kicked off the winter holiday season with an afternoon full of free entertainment, including a visit from both the Grinch and Santa Claus. Holiday entertainment was provided by local dancers and musicians, mostly youth groups. Plus, the HBDBID invited the City’s Park & Recreation Department and the HB Youth Shelter to participate. The HBDBID arranged for Santa Claus to visit the downtown district for five consecutive weeks, giving hundreds of families and friends the chance to visit and take photos with Santa for no charge, bringing more locals to downtown during the off-season. HALLOWEENFEST & MIRACLE ON MAIN ST. TREE LIGHTING represent two of the biggest events the business district presents, which are one-hundred percent about “giving back to the community.” 684 11 CHILI AT THE BEACH JUNE 2019 This Chili and Salsa Tasting Competition event gets hotter every year! This is one of HBDBID’s largest events. Main Street filled with both returning and first-timer participants and guests. In between samples of chili and salsa, the public enjoyed all-day music on two stages, a variety of unique vendors, and the company of friends and family. Kids’ events were held on 5th and PCH. This annual event, held the Saturday before Father’s Day, is a benefit for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley. SURF CITY DAYS SEPTEMBER 2018 Surf City Days is an event designed for locals to “take their beach back.” With a locals-only surfing contest, CBVA Volleyball Tournament, HSS/Surfline Demo Days, HB Cult Old Skool Skate, Kowabunga Van Klan Vintage VW Bus Show, and Surfin’ Sundays concert, 2018 was another stellar event for the community. We are in the process of planning an even bigger event for September 2019, when we combine Surf City Days with the He’e Nalu Aloha Pier Festival. By celebrating the spirit and culture of the South Pacific, we are excited to be building a weekend of entertainment and fun for families – both locally and from all over Southern California. 685 12 ADDITIONAL HIGH PROFILE DOWNTOWN EVENTS The HBDBID uses social media to support other downtown events that draw visitors into the HBDBID stakeholder’s businesses. Whether the streets are filling with locals for our popular annual Senior Saturday at the Pier, or over-flowing with visitors from all over for Vans US Open of Surfing or the Great Pacific Airshow, the HBDBID office works non-stop to promote these events, inviting guests to visit our businesses, and planning additional maintenance and safety services. For the 2018 Great Pacific Airshow, the HBDBID provided hours of FREE Valet Bike Parking. We are currently working with the promoter to determine how the downtown district will participate in 2019.
