Analysis:
ZTA No. 23-002 requests to amend Chapter 212 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinance (HBZSO) to update definitions and processes. The additional text will clarify the
notification process for staff level reviews.
The proposed changes were part of a larger ZTA packet that was approved by the City Council at the
May 7, 2024, City Council meeting (Attachment No. 3). After adoption, a clerical error was
discovered in the ordinance pertaining to Chapter 212. In adding a new definition to Section 212.04,
the land use table related to industrial uses was erroneously replaced with an incorrect table. The
purpose of this ZTA is to adopt a new ordinance that will replace the incorrect ordinance and reflect
the City Council's original approval intended for Chapter 212. No additional changes are proposed
with this ordinance.
Environmental Status:
ZTA No. 23-002 is categorically exempt pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 20,
which supplements the California Environmental Quality Act because the request is a minor
amendment to the zoning ordinance that does not change the development standards intensity or
density.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Goal 5 - Housing, Strategy A- Take action to maintain local control of land-use planning.

SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF APPROVAL
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 23-002
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA:
Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 23-002 is categorically exempt pursuant to City Council
Resolution No. 4501, Class 20, which supplements the California Environmental Quality Act
because the request is a minor amendment to the zoning ordinance that does not change the
development standards intensity or density.
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 23-002:
1. Zoning Text Amendment No. 23-002 is to amend Chapter 212 (I Industrial Districts) of the
Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) to update definitions and
processes.
The proposed zoning text amendment is 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(D)— Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale,
and character to complement adjoining uses.
The proposed ZTA will allow the City to process new development requests with greater clarity
and in a timely manner. The proposed amendments will refine the process for common
maintenance improvements for industrial properties.
These new changes will provide greater customer service as this amendment will provide a
clear, review process for common improvements or inquiries from business owners that will
ultimately benefit the City.
2. Zoning Text Amendment No. 23-002 is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the
standards prescribed for the zoning district for which it is proposed because it primarily revises
the processing of certain permits and clarifies various sections of the HBZSO. The revisions
that have been added or clarified will not change the character of the base zoning district and
the uses authorized therein.
3. A community need is demonstrated for the changes proposed because there is a constant
community desire to improve customer service with decreased processing time and ensure
the HBZSO is clear, current, and is proactive with conflicts in the code.
716
4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning
practice because ZTA No. 23-002 ensures the HBZSO is clear, current, proactive with
conflicts in the code, and reflective of the City's ongoing effort to improve customer service.

City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Amending the Huntington Beach Municipal Code by Adding

..end
Alternative Action(s):
The City Council may make the following alternative motions:
1. Do not approve Zoning Text Amendment No. 23-002 and/or municipal code amendment.
2. Continue Zoning Text Amendment No. 23-002 and/or municipal code amendment and direct staff
accordingly.
Analysis:
A. PROJECT PROPOSAL:
ZTA No. 23-002 represents a request to amend and update certain sections of the Huntington Beach
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) as well as the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific
Plan (BECSP)to update definitions and processes, codify existing policies and code interpretations,
729
introduce a process for space efficient parking, and update the process for street improvements
within the specific plan.
B. BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this update is an ongoing effort to address common clarifications and issues that
arise through the day-to-day operations and interactions of staff, residents, and business owners.
In some cases, it can be as simple as clarifying a definition; in other cases, proposed amendments
address emerging technologies which are not contemplated under the current zoning code. In the
case of the BECSP update, the proposed amendment will provide certainty for street improvement
requirements to property and businesses owners on Beach Boulevard.
C. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND RECOMMENDATION:
On March 26, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the ZTA. There were no
speakers on the item. Only one comment was received prior to the public hearing and it is
addressed in the Planning Commission staff report(Attachment No. 12). The Planning Commission
recommended approval of the request to the City Council.
Planning Commission Action on March 26, 2024:
A motion was made by Adam, seconded by Rodriguez, to recommend to the City Council approval
of ZTA No. 23-002 carried by the following vote:
AYES: Adam, Rodriguez, Pellman, Kennedy, Twining, Wood, Acosta-Galvan
NOES: None
ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: None
MOTION PASSED
D. STAFF ANALYSIS:
The March 26, 2024, Planning Commission staff report provides a more detailed description and
analysis of the proposed ZTA(Attachment No. 12). In summary, staff and the Planning Commission
recommend approval of ZTA No. 23-002 based on the following reasons:
1. It is consistent with general land uses, programs, goals, and policies of the General Plan.
2. It cleans up the HBZSO and BECSP to improve clarity, address deficiencies, and maintain
currency. It also codifies existing policies and code interpretations and allows select entitlement
requests to be permitted by right.
3. It ultimately results in better customer service by providing clear requirements as well as prompt
and cost-effective review process.
E. MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT:
The proposed amendment to the HBMC would require approval of a majority vote of the City Council
in addition to a majority vote of the electors voting in a general or special election on a proposition
to enter into a Joint Powers Agreement for middle income housing development projects.
In July 2021, the City approved a Middle Income Housing Program, which created 649 middle
income housing units at the Elan and Breakwater multi-family rental developments. The properties
were acquired through a Joint Powers Authority with tax exempt bonds. Funding for the program
required the City to forgo property tax revenue for up to a 30-year period while the City's financial
730
benefits would come from the net proceeds after payoff of the bonds anytime between years 15 and
30.
The issue regarding whether the City should be able to approve these types of programs without a
vote of the people was raised by Council Member McKeon and considered by the City Council
during the special City Council meetings on Charter amendments in September 2023. The City
Council discussed the recommended Charter language and the potential to address the issue
through an ordinance rather than a Charter amendment. Ultimately, Council Member McKeon
withdrew the item as a recommended Charter amendment and suggested staff bring an ordinance
forward for City Council consideration with general Council consensus on the direction. As such,
the proposed ordinance (Attachment No. 11) would require a vote of the people if the City were to
approve another Middle Income Housing Program with the same funding structure unless otherwise
amended or repealed by the City Council.
Environmental Status:
ZTA No. 23-002 is categorically exempt pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 20, which
supplements the California Environmental Quality Act because the request is a minor amendment to
the zoning ordinance that does not change the development standards intensity or density.
Additionally, the text amendment to the BECSP is within the scope of the BECSP Program
Environmental Impact Report No. 08-008 certified by the Planning Commission on December 8, 2009.
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and 15163, no subsequent EIR or supplement to
the EIR need be prepared for this ZTA and no further environmental review or documentation is
required. Lastly, the proposed amendment to the HBMC is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3), which exempts projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility'that
the activity in question may have asigrnfcant effect on the environment:
Strategic Plan Goal:
Goal 5 - Housing, Strategy A- Take action to maintain local control of land-use planning. -
The proposed amendment will result in better customer service by maintaining local control in certain
land-use review processes.

Analysis:
A. PROJECT PROPOSAL:
ZTA No. 23-002 represents a request to amend and update certain sections of the Huntington
Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) as well as the Beach and Edinger Corridors
Specific Plan (BECSP) to update definitions and processes, codify existing policies and code
City of Huntington Beach Page 2 of 5 Printed on 5/15/2024
powered7EQj LegistarTM
File #: 24-377 MEETING DATE: 5/21/2024
interpretations, introduce a process for space efficient parking, and update the process for street
improvements within the specific plan.
B. BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this update is an ongoing effort to address common clarifications and issues that
arise through the day-to-day operations and interactions of staff, residents, and business owners.
In some cases, it can be as simple as clarifying a definition; in other cases, proposed
amendments address emerging technologies which are not contemplated under the current
zoning code. In the case of the BECSP update, the proposed amendment will provide certainty for
street improvement requirements to property and businesses owners on Beach Boulevard.
C. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND RECOMMENDATION:
On March 26, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the ZTA. There were no
speakers on the item. Only one comment was received prior to the public hearing and it is
addressed in the Planning Commission staff report (Attachment No. 12). The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the request to the City Council.
Planning Commission Action on March 26, 2024:
A motion was made by Adam, seconded by Rodriguez, to recommend to the City Council
approval of ZTA No. 23-002 carried by the following vote:
AYES: Adam, Rodriguez, Pellman, Kennedy, Twining, Wood, Acosta-Galvan
NOES: None
ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: None
MOTION PASSED
D. STAFF ANALYSIS:
The March 26, 2024, Planning Commission staff report provides a more detailed description and
analysis of the proposed ZTA (Attachment No. 12). In summary, staff and the Planning
Commission recommend approval of ZTA No. 23-002 based on the following reasons:
1. It is consistent with general land uses, programs, goals, and policies of the General Plan.
2. It cleans up the HBZSO and BECSP to improve clarity, address deficiencies, and maintain
currency. It also codifies existing policies and code interpretations and allows select
entitlement requests to be permitted by right.
3. It ultimately results in better customer service by providing clear requirements as well as
prompt and cost-effective review process.
E. MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT:
The proposed amendment to the HBMC would require approval of a majority vote of the City
Council in addition to a majority vote of the electors voting in a general or special election on a
proposition to enter into a Joint Powers Agreement for middle income housing development
projects.
City of Huntington Beach Page 3 of 5 Printed on 5/15/2024
powered.%LegistarTM
File #: 24-377 MEETING DATE: 5/21/2024
In July 2021, the City approved a Middle Income Housing Program, which created 649 middle
income housing units at the Elan and Breakwater multi-family rental developments. The
properties were acquired through a Joint Powers Authority with tax exempt bonds. Funding for
the program required the City to forgo property tax revenue for up to a 30-year period while the
City's financial benefits would come from the net proceeds after payoff of the bonds anytime
between years 15 and 30.
The issue regarding whether the City should be able to approve these types of programs without
a vote of the people was raised by Council Member McKeon and considered by the City Council
during the special City Council meetings on Charter amendments in September 2023. The City
Council discussed the recommended Charter language and the potential to address the issue
through an ordinance rather than a Charter amendment. Ultimately, Council Member McKeon
withdrew the item as a recommended Charter amendment and suggested staff bring an
ordinance forward for City Council consideration with general Council consensus on the direction.
As such, the proposed ordinance (Attachment No. 11) would require a vote of the people if the
City were to approve another Middle Income Housing Program with the same funding structure
unless otherwise amended or repealed by the City Council.
Environmental Status:
ZTA No. 23-002 is categorically exempt pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 20,
which supplements the California Environmental Quality Act because the request is a minor
amendment to the zoning ordinance that does not change the development standards intensity or
density. Additionally, the text amendment to the BECSP is within the scope of the BECSP Program
Environmental Impact Report No. 08-008 certified by the Planning Commission on December 8,
2009. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and 15163, no subsequent EIR or
supplement to the EIR need be prepared for this ZTA and no further environmental review or
documentation is required. Lastly, the proposed amendment to the HBMC is exempt from CEQA
pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), which exempts projects where it can be seen with certainty that t
here is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Goal 5 - Housing, Strategy A - Take action to maintain local control of land-use planning.
The proposed amendment will result in better customer service by maintaining local control in certain
land-use review processes.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the California State Planning and Zoning Law, the Huntington
Beach Planning Commission and Huntington Beach City Council have held separate, duly noticed
public hearings to consider Zoning Text Amendment No. 23-002, which amends Chapter 231 of
the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance
After due consideration of the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission
and all other evidence presented, the City Council finds that the aforesaid amendment is'proper
and consistent with the General Plan;
NOW,THEREFORE,the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby ordain
as follows:
SECTION 1. That Chapter 231 of the Huntington Beach Zoning Code is hereby amended
to read as follows:
231.02 Basic Requirements for Off-Street Parking and Loading
A. When Required. At the time of initial occupancy of a site, construction of a structure, or
major alteration or enlargement of a site or structure, off-street parking facilities and off-street
loading facilities shall be provided in accord with this chapter and parking area landscaping shall
be provided in accord with Chapter 232. For the purposes of these requirements, "major
alteration or enlargement" shall mean a change of use, an expansion of greater than 50% of the
existing space in a non-residential building or an addition of bedrooms or units in a residential
building. A change in occupancy that does not involve a change in the use classification is not
considered a change in use for purposes of this requirement unless the change in occupancy
involves an intensification of use or an increase in parking demand.
B. Nonconforming Parking or Loading.No existing use of land or structure shall be deemed
to be nonconforming solely because of the lack of off-street parking or loading facilities required
by this chapter, provided that facilities being used for off-street parking and loading as of the
date of adoption of this chapter shall not be reduced in number to less than that required by this
chapter. Expansion of a use with nonconforming parking shall be subject to the following
requirements:
1. A multifamily residential use with nonconforming parking may be expanded by adding
bedrooms or additional units provided that the expansion complies with current standards
contained in this chapter;

2. A single-family residence with nonconforming parking may be expanded by adding
bedrooms provided the dwelling complies with current standards contained in this chapter;
and
3. A nonresidential use with nonconforming parking may be expanded less than 50% of
the existing square footage or intensified if additional parking is provided for the expansion
or intensification. Expansions of 50% or more of the existing square footage require the site
to be in total compliance with the current parking standards contained in this chapter.
C. Spaces Required for Alteration or Enlargement. The number of parking spaces or
loading spaces required for an alteration or enlargement of an existing use or structure, or for a
change of occupancy, shall be in addition to the number of spaces existing prior to the alteration,
enlargement, or change of occupancy unless the preexisting number is greater than the number
prescribed in this chapter. 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 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.

attendant upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning
Commission. The request shall include information about the proposed
parking operations and other information determined to be necessary.
c. Mechanical stacker/lift parking systems shall not result in queuing into any
public right-of-way. The applicant shall prepare a technical study comparing
expected traffic-intensity with parking system capacity to determine the
amount of short-term parking needed, if any,to mitigate the potential impacts
from users seeking short-term parking. At minimum, the study shall address

•
1. Do not approve Zoning Text Amendment No. 23-002 and/or municipal code amendment.
2. Continue Zoning Text Amendment No. 23-002 and/or municipal code amendment and direct
staff accordingly.
Analysis:
A. PROJECT PROPOSAL:
ZTA No. 23-002 represents a request to amend and update certain sections of the Huntington
Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) as well as the Beach and Edinger Corridors
Specific Plan (BECSP) to update definitions and processes, codify existing policies and code
interpretations, introduce a process for space efficient parking, and update the process for street
improvements within the specific plan.
B. BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this update is an ongoing effort to address common clarifications and issues that
arise through the day-to-day operations and interactions of staff, residents, and business owners.
In some cases, it can be as simple as clarifying a definition; in other cases, proposed
amendments address emerging technologies which are not contemplated under the current
zoning code. In the case of the BECSP update, the proposed amendment will provide certainty for
street improvement requirements to property and businesses owners on Beach Boulevard.
C. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND RECOMMENDATION:
On March 26, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the ZTA. There were no
speakers on the item. Only one comment was received prior to the public hearing and it is
addressed in the Planning Commission staff report (Attachment No. 12). The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the request to the City Council.
Planning Commission Action on March 26, 2024:
A motion was made by Adam, seconded by Rodriguez, to recommend to the City Council
approval of ZTA No. 23-002 carried by the following vote:
AYES: Adam, Rodriguez, Pellman, Kennedy, Twining, Wood, Acosta-Galvan
NOES: None
ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: None •
MOTION PASSED
D. STAFF ANALYSIS:
The March 26, 2024, Planning Commission staff report provides a more detailed description and
analysis of the proposed ZTA (Attachment No. 12). In summary, staff and the Planning
Commission recommend approval of ZTA No. 23-002 based on the following reasons:
1. It is consistent with general land uses, programs, goals, and policies of the General Plan.
2. It cleans up the HBZSO and BECSP to improve clarity, address deficiencies, and maintain
currency. It also codifies existing policies and code interpretations and allows select
City of Huntington Beach Page 3 of 5 Printed on 5/1/2024
power LegistarTM
File.#: 24-299 MEETING DATE: 5/7/2024
entitlement requests to be permitted by right.
3. It ultimately results in better customer service by providing clear requirements as well as
prompt and cost-effective review process.
E. MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT:
The proposed amendment to the HBMC would require approval of a majority vote of the City
Council in addition to a majority vote of the electors voting in a general or special election on a
proposition to enter into a Joint Powers Agreement for middle income housing development
projects.
In July 2021, the City approved a Middle Income Housing Program, which created 649 middle
income housing units at the Elan and Breakwater multi-family rental developments. The
properties were acquired through a Joint Powers Authority with tax exempt bonds. Funding for
the program required the City to forgo property tax revenue for up to a 30-year period while the
City's financial benefits would come from the net proceeds after payoff of the bonds anytime
between years 15 and 30.
The issue regarding whether the City should be able to approve these types of programs without
a vote of the people was raised by Council Member McKeon and considered by the City Council
during the special City Council meetings on Charter amendments in September 2023. The City
Council discussed the recommended Charter language and the potential to address the issue
through an ordinance rather than a Charter amendment. Ultimately, Council Member McKeon
withdrew the item as a recommended Charter amendment and suggested staff bring an
ordinance forward for City Council consideration with general Council consensus on the direction.
As such, the proposed ordinance (Attachment No. 11) would require a vote of the people if the
City were to approve another Middle Income Housing Program with the same funding structure
unless otherwise amended or repealed by the City Council.
Environmental Status:
ZTA No. 23-002 is categorically exempt pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 20,
which supplements the California Environmental Quality Act because the request is a minor
amendment to the zoning ordinance that does not change the development standards intensity or
density. Additionally, the text amendment to the BECSP is within the scope of the BECSP Program
Environmental Impact Report No. 08-008 certified by the Planning Commission on December 8,
2009. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and 15163, no subsequent EIR or
supplement to the EIR need be prepared for this ZTA and no further environmental review or
documentation is required. Lastly, the proposed amendment to the HBMC is exempt from CEQA
pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), which exempts projects where it can be seen with certainty that t
here is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Goal 5 - Housing, Strategy A - Take action to maintain local control of land-use planning.
The proposed amendment will result in better customer service by maintaining local control in certain
land-use review processes.

SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF APPROVAL
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 23-002
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA:
Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 23-002 is categorically exempt pursuant to City Council
Resolution No. 4501, Class 20, which supplements the California Environmental Quality Act
because the request is a minor amendment to the zoning ordinance that does not change the
development standards intensity or density. Additionally, the text amendment to the BECSP is
within the scope of the BECSP Program Environmental Impact Report No. 08-008 certified by the
Planning Commission on December 8, 2009. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 and 15163, no subsequent EIR or supplement to the EIR need be prepared for this ZTA
and no further environmental review or documentation is required.
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 23-002:
1. Zoning Text Amendment No. 23-002 is to amend eight chapters of the Huntington Beach
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) to update definitions and processes, provide
clarification by codifying existing policies and code interpretations, and introduce a process
for space efficient parking such as mechanical parking lifts. The chapters to be amended are
Chapter 203 (Definitions), Chapter 210 (Residential Districts), Chapter 211 (C Commercial
Districts), Chapter 212 (I Industrial Districts), Chapter 218 (M Mixed-Use Transit Center
District), Chapter 230 (Site Standards), Chapter 231 (Off-Street Parking and Loading
Provisions), and Chapter 241 (Conditional Use Permits and Variances — Temporary Use
Permits-Waiver of Development Standards). Additionally, the ZTA includes amending Section
2.5: Street Regulations of the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP) to update
the process and provide clarification for street improvements within the specific plan.
The proposed zoning text amendment is 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 consist with the overall goals and needs of the community.
Policy LU-1(D) — Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale,
and character to complement adjoining uses.
Policy LU-4 (D): Ensure that single-family residences are of compatible proportion scale and
character to surrounding neighborhoods.
Goal LU-11 — Commercial land uses provide goods and services to meet regional and local
needs.
Goal LU-13—The city provides opportunities for new businesses and employees to ensure a
high quality of life and thriving industry.
612
Housing Element:
Policy 1.4 — Encourage resident involvement in identifying and addressing maintenance of
housing in their neighborhoods.
Policy 4.3 — Explore continued improvements to the entitlement process to streamline and
coordinate the processing of permits, design review and environmental clearance.
The proposed ZTA will allow the City to process new development requests with greater clarity
and in a timely manner. The proposed amendments will refine the process for common
maintenance improvements for residential properties such as perimeter fencing and
accessory structures while ensuring that improvements are done in a manner that is
compatible in proportion, scale, and character with surrounding uses. The proposed
standards for fences/walls will allow residential applicants different design options for permit
approval that will provide greater privacy, compatibility with existing neighborhood
fences/walls, and with reduced permitting timelines. Providing additional guidance for
accessory structures, such as patio covers, will empower property owners to confidently
design these structures in a manner that will comply with code and reduce plan check
revisions.
The introduction of space efficient parking standards in the form of mechanical stackers/lifts
will provide additional parking design options for commercial and industrial uses. These
standards could provide opportunities for new businesses to move into constrained sites and
still provide required on-site parking. The proposed standards will allow this use to be
designed in a manner consistent with existing parking standards. Development standards
have been added to protect sensitive uses such as height limitation, full enclosure of
mechanical equipment, and additional noise attenuation measures.
These new changes will provide greater customer service as this amendment will provide a
clear, review process for common improvements or inquiries from residents and business
owners that will ultimately benefit the City.
Circulation Element:
Goal CIRC-7 - Designated scenic corridors protect and enhance visual quality and scenic
views.
Goal CIRC-7(D) - Provide landscaped medians and sidewalk treatments in accordance with
City standards within major and primary arterial streets designated as landscape corridors,
and continue to require the construction of landscaped medians and sidewalk treatments in
new developments.
The proposed ZTA will continue the streetscape vision for Beach Blvd. of the specific plan
while clarifying the process for property and business owners. In revising the BECSP's street
regulations, it will provide additional parkway and sidewalk standards for rights-of-way that
are irregular in width in a manner that is compatible with existing properties along Beach Blvd.
The additional amendments will clarify the process for alternative street improvements as well
as the acceptable landscaping for the specific plan. This amendment will remove uncertainty
in the city permitting process that puts property owners and business along Beach Blvd. in a
position where they cannot obtain final permit approval and the City cannot intervene because
613
the street is owned by a different agency. In turn, this will allow the city to expedite street
improvements, provided certainty of final approval for BECSP property owners, and may
encourage more improvements of properties along one of the city's major highways.
2. Zoning Text Amendment No. 23-002 is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the
standards prescribed for the zoning district for which it is proposed because it primarily revises
the processing of certain permits and clarifies various sections of the HBZSO and BECSP.
The revisions that have been added or clarified will not change the character of the base
zoning district and the uses authorized therein.
3. A community need is demonstrated for the changes proposed because there is a constant
community desire to improve customer service with decreased processing time and ensure
the HBZSO and BECSP are clear, current, consistently adapting to new technologies and is
proactive with conflicts in the code.
4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning
practice because ZTA No. 23-002 ensures the HBZSO and BECSP are clear, current,
adapting to new technologies, proactive with conflicts in the code, and reflective of the City's
ongoing effort to improve customer service.

BOOK I : COMMUNITY INTENT
This Specific Plan establishes a planning and design framework to enhance
the economic performance, functionality and beauty of the Beach and
Edinger Corridors in accordance with the forces of the free market and
the community's vision for its primary commercial corridors. This first of
the three "Books" that contain the primary contents of this Specific Plan,
describes the community objectives that the Plan is intended to achieve as
new investment creates change in the Plan Area and its environs. This
section of the Specific Plan also describes the overall development concept
to instigate new investment and to guide the form of that investment to the
mutual benefit of private and public interests. These intended outcomes
and revitalization strategies form the basis of the regulations and planned
public actions contained in the two subsequent Books of this Plan. By
making the community's intent clear, Book I is also intended to provide
supplementary guidance for instances or opportunities not specifically
covered by the development regulations or public improvements contained
in Books II and ILL

incorporate longs,and are not permitted as the primary wall sign.
If used,one of the following treatments should be applied:
• A sheet metal or opaque sign surface with letters cut out so that only
letter shapes or outlines are illuminated from within by translucent
surfaces;
• Or,a color scheme of translucent panels with dark colored
background with light colored letters.
3) Recommended exposed and non-exposed illumination(light source)
types include incandescent,halogen,neon,warm-white encapsulated
compact fluorescent,warm-white encapsulated induction lamps,
and LED light sources. Exposed spiral-tube compact fluorescent,
fluorescent tube,metal halide,and cold-cathode light sources should
only be used for non-exposed illumination,i.e.where lamps are
shielded from view.Exposed high pressure sodium and low pressure
sodium light sources are not recommended due to their color.The use
of energy-efficient illumination sources is strongly encouraged.
4) For legibility,contrasting colors should be used for the color of the
background and the color of the letters or symbols.Light letters on a
dark background or dark letters on a light background are most legible.
5) Colors or color combinations that interfere with the
legibility of the sign copy should be avoided.Too many
O colors can weaken the legibility of the sign.
6) Fluorescent paint or material colors should not be used as predominant
V
colors in permanent signs or on their structural supports(except as
P4 required for municipal traffic and public safety signs). When fluorescent
colors are used as part of temporary signage,they should be limited
to ten(10)square feet of sign area per facade per establishment.

BOOK III : PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
The revitalization and ongoing development of the Beach and Edinger
Corridors will be supported by a program of community action and
investment.Given the substantial length of the corridors and the multiplicity
of needs represented, this program will be implemented in phases in
accordance with the availability of city resources. The prioritization of
public improvements will be guided by the goals and strategies of this
Specific Plan. Complementing the Development Standards, the strategic
investment of community resources planned in this section are intended to
accelerate the revitalization process and to add to the appeal and success of
the corridors as the central spines of the city. As opportunities arise that
were not known at the time of the Plan's adoption, the city may consider
alternative investment strategies to more effectively realize the community's
vision for the Beach Boulevard and Edinger Avenue Corridors.

c) Special Conditions:
i) There are special conditions along the length of the Parkway
Improvement segment that will require the streetscape treatment to be tailored
for these areas. These special conditions include:
(1) Large canopies of existing trees at back of sidewalk that limit installation
of sidewalk planter strip vegetation.
(a) A closer look at this condition will be required to determine
if the existing tree canopies should be pruned to allow for the
new streetscape treatment,or if the installation of low-medium
height groundcover and streetlights is more appropriate.
(2) Narrow existing sidewalks that do not allow for a 9'wide planter strip.
(a) Trees will be located in a narrower continuous
planter strip or in tree grates.
(3) A frontage road with curbed landscaped separators
(a) A closer study is required to determine if the proposed sidewalk
planter strip treatment can be installed in the separator.
4) Gateway Monmument—Beach Blvd.&Edinger Ave.
As part of the City's ongoing sign program,a new city entry sign will be built at
the intersection of Beach Blvd.and Edinger Ave.to mark this major gateway into
the City.
5) Connection between Town Center Neighborhood and
Village at Bella Terra
As a supplement to an on-site pedestrian walkway system,potential future pedestrian
and bicycle access such as an at-grade crossing or an above-ground crossing shall
be pursued across the existing rail line between the former Levitz and Montgomery
Ward(Village at Bella Terra)sites. Funding mechanisms,including a fair share
analysis for the Edinger Corridor,shall be pursued by the City of Huntington Beach
in conjunction with affected property owners.

An operational deficiency is noted at the Beach Boulevard/Main Street intersection
and at the immediately adjacent Main Street/EllisAvenue intersection.This is related
to the close spacing between the intersections and the resulting queue interference.
A number of improvement options at this intersection are available,mostly dealing
with the role of Ellis Avenue west of Main Street in the circulation system for this m
area. Such options range from lane configuration changes,possibly with some p
individual movement prohibitions,to full closure of Ellis Avenue at this location v

Currently,the City has in place a Master Plan of Drainage(MPD),which is a
comprehensive drainage study of the community that identifies and creates an LEGEND: /
inventory of existing storm drain facilities and identifies where system elements City Boundary

corrections. Upgrade Storm Drain Pipe
As analyzed in Environmental Impact Report No.08-008,the majority of the land (Prop.Upgraded Pipe size)
within the Specific Plan Area is currently developed and in comparison to existing
conditions,the proposed land use changes and increases in development intensity /
would not result in a significant increase in impervious surfaces and storm runoff. /
Therefore, the recommendations here mirror those deficient storm drain pipes

SUBJECT:
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 23-002 (ZONING UPDATE)
REQUEST:
Amend eight chapters of the Huntington Beach Zoning and
Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) to update definitions and
processes, provide clarification by codifying existing policies and
code interpretations, and introduce a process for space efficient
parking such as mechanical parking lifts. The chapters to be
amended are Chapter 203 (Definitions), Chapter 210 (Residential
Districts), Chapter 211 (C Commercial Districts), Chapter 212 (I
Industrial Districts), Chapter 218 (M Mixed-Use Transit Center
District), Chapter 230 (Site Standards), Chapter 231 (Off-Street

OWNER:
Not applicable
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission take the following actions:
A) Find the project exempt from additional environmental review pursuant to City
Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 20, which supplements the California Environmental
Quality Act because the request is a minor amendment to the zoning ordinance that does
not change the development standards intensity or density and in accordance with the
771
BECSP Program Environmental Impact Report No. 08-008 certified by the Planning
Commission on December 8, 2009 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and 15163, no
subsequent EIR or supplement to the EIR need be prepared for this ZTA and no further
environmental review or documentation is required; and
B) Recommend approval of Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 23-002 to the City
Council with findings (Attachment No. 1).
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
A) Recommend denial of Zoning Text Amendment No. 23-002 with findings for denial;
or
B) Continue Zoning Text Amendment No..23-002 and direct staff accordingly.
PROJECT PROPOSAL:
Background:
ZTA No. 23-002 represents a request to amend and update certain sections of the
Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) as well as the Beach and
Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP). The last HBZSO update occurred in 2019
while the BECSP was last updated with a minor amendment in 2023. It is considered a
"best management practice" for cities to complete periodic updates such as this. The
purpose of this update is an ongoing effort to address common clarifications and issues
that arise through the day-to-day operations and interactions of staff, residents, and
business owners. In some cases, it can be a simple as clarifying a definition; in other
cases, proposed amendments address emerging technologies such as tandem car lifts
which are not contemplated under the current zoning code. In the case of the BECSP
update, the proposed amendment will provide certainty for street improvement
requirements to property and businesses owners on Beach Boulevard. The proposed
zoning text amendment will amend the following chapters:
• Chapter 203 (Definitions)
• Chapter 210 (Residential Districts)
• Chapter 211 (C Commercial Districts)
• Chapter 212 (I Industrial Districts)
• Chapter 218 (M Mixed-Use Transit Center District)
• Chapter 230 (Site Standards)
• Chapter 231 (Off-Street Parking and Loading Provisions)
• Chapter 241 (Conditional Use Permits and Variances — Temporary Use
Permits-Waiver of Development Standards)
• BECSP — Section 2.5: Street Regulations
For ease of reference, a summary matrix providing a comparison between the current
code sections and the proposed changes is included (Attachment No. 2). Legislative
drafts of each complete chapter are provided (Attachment Nos. 3-11). In the legislative
drafts, bold and underlined indicates new text; strikeout indicates removal of text.
772
Study Session:
This request was introduced to the Planning Commission for study session on February
13, 2024. The following questions were raised during the meeting:
Antenna Update
Commissioner Pellman asked if 5G wireless technology regulations had been considered
with the updated definition of "antenna". Staff explained that the proposed zoning text
amendment would be updating the general definition of antenna, which includes all types
of antennas, not just telecommunication antennas. Staff further stated no changes were
proposed for regulations related to wireless communication facilities as found in Section
230.96 of the HBZSO.
Artificial Turf
Commissioner Pellman inquired about artificial turf as permitted landscaping. Staff stated
that required landscaping may include artificial turf as proposed in the updated definition
for "Landscaping". However, since the study session, artificial turf has been removed
from the landscaping definition and no change is proposed.
Specific Plan Updates
Vice-Chair Kennedy asked if there was a reason BECSP had been chosen to be updated
and whether other specific plans would be updated in the future. Staff explained that
BECSP was being updated to address a conflict in the plan related to required street
improvements and Caltrans ownership of Beach Boulevard. Staff further explained that
no amendments were planned for other specific plans.
Current Projects in BECSP
Vice-Chair Kennedy requested a list of current BECSP projects. Staff stated that the
information was not available at the moment, but staff would present the information at
the following Planning Commission meeting. The projects are listed in the following
analysis section.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS:
General Plan Conformance:
The proposed zoning text amendment is 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 consist with the overall goals and needs of the
community.
Policy LU-1(D) — Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion,
scale, and character to complement adjoining uses.
773
Policy LU-4 (D): Ensure that single-family residences are of compatible proportion scale
and character to surrounding neighborhoods.
Goal LU-11 — Commercial land uses provide goods and services to meet regional and
local needs.
Goal LU-13 — The city provides opportunities for new businesses and employees to
ensure a high quality of life and thriving industry.
Housing Element:
Policy 1.4 — Encourage resident involvement in identifying and addressing maintenance
of housing in their neighborhoods.
Policy 4.3 — Explore continued improvements to the entitlement process to streamline
and coordinate the processing of permits, design review and environmental clearance.
The proposed ZTA will allow the City to process new development requests with greater
clarity and in a timely manner. The proposed amendments will refine the process for
common maintenance improvements for residential properties such as perimeter fencing
and accessory structures while ensuring that improvements are done in a manner that is
compatible in proportion, scale, and character with surrounding uses. The proposed
standards for fences/walls will allow residential applicants different design options for
permit approval that will provide greater privacy, compatibility with existing neighborhood
fences/walls, and with reduced permitting timelines. Providing additional guidance for
accessory structures, such as patio covers, will empower property owners to confidently
design these structures in a manner that will comply with code and reduce plan check
revisions.
The introduction of space efficient parking- standards in the form of mechanical
stackers/lifts will provide additional parking design options for commercial and industrial
uses. These standards could provide opportunities for new businesses to move into
constrained sites and still provide required on-site parking. The proposed standards will
allow this use to be designed in a manner consistent with existing parking standards.
Development standards have been added to protect sensitive uses such as height
limitation, full enclosure of mechanical equipment, and additional noise attenuation
measures.
These new changes will provide greater customer service as this amendment will provide
a clear, review process for common improvements or inquiries from residents and
business owners that will ultimately benefit the City.
Circulation Element:
Goal CIRC-7 - Designated scenic corridors protect and enhance visual quality and scenic
views.
774
Goal CIRC-7(D) - Provide landscaped medians and sidewalk treatments in accordance
with City standards within major and primary arterial streets designated as landscape
corridors, and continue to require the construction of landscaped medians and sidewalk
treatments in new developments.
The proposed ZTA will continue the streetscape vision for Beach Blvd. of the specific plan
while clarifying the process for property and business owners. In revising the BECSP's
street regulations, it will provide additional parkway and sidewalk standards for rights-of-
way that are irregular in width in a manner that is compatible with existing properties along
Beach Blvd. The additional amendments will clarify the process for alternative street
improvements as well as the acceptable landscaping for the specific plan. This
amendment will remove uncertainty in the city permitting process that puts property
owners and business along Beach Blvd. in a position where they cannot obtain final permit
approval and the City cannot intervene because the street is owned by a different agency.
In turn, this will allow the city to expedite street improvements, provided certainty of final
approval for BECSP property owners, and may encourage more improvements of
properties along one of the city's major highways.
Zoning Compliance:
Zoning Text Amendment
The following analysis provides a review of the proposed amendments in five sections
consisting of minor language cleanup and clarification to maintain consistency within the
HBZSO, codification of existing policies or code interpretations, introduction of
development standards for tandem car lifts/stackers, revised development standards for
both fences/walls within the HBZSO, and public street improvements within the BECSP.
A. Language Cleanup and Clarification
The following items are amended for minor cleanup and/or clarification purposes.
Section 203.06 Definitions
Definitions in the HBZSO have been amended or deleted due to various reasons. Certain
definitions have been deleted because a definition exists in other applicable codes such
as the Huntington Beach Municipal Code or California Building Code. In other cases,
definitions have been deleted to align with changes that have already occurred within the
HBZSO or are proposed with this ZTA. Finally, most definitions have been updated
primarily for clarification and currency purposes. The complete list of deleted and
amended definitions can be found in Attachment No. 2.
Section 210.04 Land Use Controls, Section 211.04 Land Use Controls, Section 212.04
Land Use Controls, and Section 218.04 Land Use Controls
775
A text addition was included to the sections listed above to define the "Neighborhood
Notification" process referenced within the provisions of the Land Use Control Table of
each zoning district. Currently, a neighborhood notification is required for certain land
uses but the code does not state clearly that the review process is an Administrative
Permit by the Director. The inclusion of this text provides clarity.
Section 210.06.P RL, RM, RMH, RH, and RMP Districts—Property Development
Standards and Section 230.68 Building Projections into Yards and Courts
References to "Courts" have been removed from this section. Courts are development
standards for open space for multi-family development. Currently, the code is written in
a manner that requires these standards for this type of development; however, this design
provision does not align with other development standards within Section 210.06. and
appears to regulate a specific architectural style, creating confusion. This provision has
been unutilized for years as the City has adopted Urban Design Guidelines which work in
conjunction with the code's development standards; therefore, removing the courts
provision eliminates an unused section of the HBZSO as well as confusion for property
owners and project applicants.
Section 230.12 Home Occupation Permits
The additional text will clarify the Home Occupation Permit and business license process
for residents. Language has also been added to clarify which uses may qualify for a
permit. Finally, language has been added to prohibit the renting of homes for commercial
purposes to ensure continuous compatibility with existing residential neighborhoods.
Section 230.68 Building Projections into Yards and Courts
References to courts have been removed to align with the proposed changes of this ZTA.
Additionally, references to covered patio projections have been deleted to eliminate
conflict with other sections of the HBZSO, specifically Section 230.08.
Section 241.22 Waiver of Development Standards
Language was added to clarify the type of permit required for a waiver of development
standards. Currently, the code does not specify the type of permit. This addition specifies
the current Administrative Permit process for readers and aligns it with other sections of
the HBZSO.
Section 241.24 Neighborhood Notification
A minor text amendment will amend the notification period for Administrative Permits.
The current notification period is 10 working days. By modifying the notification period to
10 calendar days, it will align with other sections of the HBZSO.
B. Codify Existing Policy and Code Interpretation
776
Section 210.06.D; Section 230.08.E; Section 230.08.G Patio Cover Separation
Currently, the HBZSO requires a separation of 10 feet between buildings. It does not
distinguish separation between buildings or buildings and accessory structures such as
patio covers. Furthermore, it does not specify the point of measurement for such
accessory structures. The inclusion of this policy will allow property owners to have a
building separation of less than 10 feet for patio covers and clarify the point of
measurement.
Section 230.68 Eaves in Required Yards
The code is currently unclear as to the types of allowable projections into required yards,
such as eaves. Projections into required yards are limited in length; however, the code
does not account for other projections, such as balconies or bay windows, that may have
built-in eaves. Clarifying that eaves area not limited in length will clarify allowable
projections for property owners.
By codifying these polices and interpretations in the HBZSO, information is readily
accessible by applicants. This will further the City's goal of assisting applicants in project
planning and improving customer service.
C. Tandem Car Stackers/Lifts
The HBZSO does not currently provide standards for alternative parking designs. In this
section, the following provisions are proposed in Section 231.02.G for space efficient
parking in the form of mechanical car stackers/lifts.
Applicability:
• Single Family Residential Uses
o Only surplus parking may be stored and accessed by mechanical •
stackers/lifts. Minimum off-site parking must be provided without the need
of mechanical parking.
o Mechanical parking for a single-family residential use will not be subject to
any discretionary permits, such as a Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
• Commercial and Industrial Uses
o Up to 20% of required on-site may be provided by mechanical stackers
and/lifts with an attendant.
■ Subject to approval of a CUP to the Zoning Administrator (ZA).
O 21%-40% of required on-site may be provided by mechanical stackers
and/lifts with an attendant.
■ Subject to approval of a CUP to the Planning Commission (PC).
Mechanical Parking Design Standards:
• Except for required ingress and egress, all mechanical parking systems shall be
enclosed.
777
• No more than one vehicle shall be stacked over another parked vehicle.
• All equipment shall be sound attenuated to comply with the noise standards in
Chapter 8.40, Noise Control, of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code.
• Except for single-family residential, all mechanical parking systems are subject to
review by the Design Review Board (DRB).
Operations for Mechanical Parking Systems:
• Mechanical stacker/lift parking systems shall not result in queuing into any public
right-of-way.
• Covenants will be required for the operation and maintenance of the mechanical
parking system and for a required attendant.
• All parking systems will be required to provide an on-site generator and a manual
override feature to retrieve vehicles in the event of a power outage.
This section is a response to public inquiries over the years. For residential purposes,
many property owners have extra vehicles, such as classic cars, that they would like to
store onsite. The City of Huntington Beach has a large population of the classic car
collectors and is home to many classic car shows. To comply with minimum residential
parking requirements, many property owners store their vehicles off-site. The proposed
provisions would provide additional parking options for single-family residential property
owners and not impact neighborhood parking or aesthetics.
Commercial and industrial property owners have in the past inquired about providing
additional parking in the form of mechanical stackers/lifts. By creating a process for this
design, it would provide additional parking options for business and property owners in a
manner that is consistent with the HBZSO. Requiring fully enclosed mechanical parking
system with DRB review will align with existing development standards for parking
structures. The proposed percentages allowed for tandem mechanical parking and
associated hearing bodies will also align with existing tandem/valet parking standards in
the Downtown Specific Plan, which operate with parking attendants, similar to the
proposed parking standard. In addition to these standards, technical studies will be
required to compare expected traffic-intensity with the parking system capacity to
determine the amount of short-term parking and attendants needed to ensure minimal
traffic/parking impacts.
D. Revised Development Standards— Section 230.88 Fencinq and Yards
This ZTA includes revised development standards to Section 230.88, specifically to
Section 230.88.A Permitted Fences and Walls. Additional text from this section has been
deleted or revised to align with the proposed amendments listed below and other sections
of the HBSZO. All changes can also be found in Attachment Nos. 2 and 8.
Current Requirements:
• Fences or walls a maximum of 42 inches in height within any portion of a lot
o Fences or walls in RMH-a zoned properties must be setback three feet from
the front property line
778
• Fences or walls a maximum of six feet in height may be located in required side and
rear yards
o Exception — a maximum two-foot lattice (wood or plastic) extension that is
substantially open may added to the top of a six-foot-high fence or wall
without a permit
• Deviations from the maximum height requirements may be permitted subject to a
CUP by the ZA
Proposed Requirements:
• Fences or walls a maximum of 42 inches in height within any portion of a lot
o Fences or walls in RMH-a zoned properties must be setback three feet from
the front property lino
• Fences or walls a maximum of six eight feet in height may be located in required
side and rear yards
o Exception — a maximum two-foot lattice (wood or plastic) extension that is
substantially (minimum 50%) open may added to the top of a six-foot-high
fence or wall without a permit
• Deviations from the maximum height requirements may be permitted subject to a
CUP by the ZA
Revising these standards will provide consistency for wall height and setbacks amongst
most zoning districts, eliminating confusion for property owners. These changes will
primarily apply to residential uses, particularly benefiting single-family residents.
Currently, a building permit is not required for walls 42 inches or less; however, current
standards create a scenario where some property owners may inadvertently construct a
wall at the incorrect location if no plan or permit is required. This revision would help
property owners avoid a costly scenario where a completed wall has to be demolished
and relocated, or an entitlement is required to rectify the situation.
Likewise, this section allows lattice extensions for perimeter fences and walls for
additional privacy. While the code allows for lattice, it is unclear how open or solid the
wall extension may be. To avoid extensions that do not meet the intent of the code and
to not compromise the structural integrity of an existing fence or wall, additional language
has been added to explain that lattice means 50% open.
Similarly, the desire for more privacy and uniform aesthetic is a common request
concerning side and rear perimeter walls. A recommendation to raise the maximum
height for side and rear perimeter walls from six feet to eight feet is proposed with this
ZTA. Staff does not foresee any issues related to this change and any issues could be
adequately handled at staff level through the plan check process. Fences and walls that
are higher than six feet will still require a building permit and engineering. A CUP by the
ZA for wall/fence deviations currently has a processing time of approximately two-three
months and a fee of $2,757. Removing the discretionary permit process of non-
controversial applications would be beneficial for property owners.
E. Revised Development Standards— BECSP Section 2.5 Street Improvements
779
Revised development standards are proposed for improvements along the public frontage
(or right-of-way) within the BECSP. The analysis below focuses on the key changes
proposed. All changes can be found in Attachment Nos. 2 and 11.
Public street improvements are code requirements that are part of the development
process for larger property improvements citywide. The existing condition of a site will
determine what type of public improvements may be required. These improvements may
include new sidewalks, curbs, gutter, landscape planters, and street dedications.
Most properties along Beach Blvd. are located within the BECSP. The BECSP has very
specific design requirements and guidelines for tree species, sidewalks, landscape
planters, and street furniture along the public right of way. These requirements include
minimum widths for sidewalks and landscape planters. Required sidewalk widths are
minimum six feet wide and required landscape planter widths range from four to nine feet
along Beach Blvd. Many Beach Blvd. properties have existing public right of way that is
narrower than what is required by the specific plan to accommodate the required public
frontage improvements. This prompts the need for the property owner to offer to dedicate
a portion of their property to accommodate the required curb, gutter, sidewalk, and
landscape planter. While most streets and sidewalks are within the control of the City,
certain streets, such as Beach Boulevard, are owned by the state agency, Caltrans. While
the property owner may offer to dedicate to Caltrans to comply with BECSP, it is up to
that agency whether to accept the dedication. If they do not, the property owner cannot
comply with City requirements and cannot finalize their building permit. Since the
approval of BECSP in 2010, the following projects were approved with required street
improvements:
• CVS — 16961 Beach Blvd.
• Hoag Medical — 19582 Beach Blvd.
• Elan Apartments - 18504 Beach Blvd.
• Beach and Ocean Apartments - 19891 Beach Blvd.
• G&M Oil service Station — 16990 Beach Blvd.
• Subaru Dealership - 18801 Beach Blvd.
While several projects have been approved, in 2020 Caltrans amended their review
process for public street improvements, including those that included offers for dedication.
The current review process, QMAP (Project Delivery Quality Management Assessment
Process), is about 18-24 months long and there is no guarantee Caltrans will accept offers
for dedications. As such, as new developments are approved and under construction on
Beach Blvd., there is a likelihood that they will not be able to comply with the City's street
improvement requirements. The Subaru dealership is one example of a business
affected by this issue. The dealership was approved in 2018 and was finalized in 2023.
During the 5-year construction process, the car dealer owner went through a protracted
process of getting his final certificate of'occupancy. This level of uncertainty in the
process puts property owners and business along Beach Blvd. in a position where they
cannot obtain final permit approval and the City cannot intervene because the street is
780
owned by a different agency. The proposed revision to Section 2.5 of BECSP is a
proactive step to provide alternative standards to property owners that cannot
accommodate the required street improvements prescribed in BECSP. For the properties
that have existing narrower public right of way, reduced sidewalk and landscape planter
widths may be proposed as defined in the attached legislative draft.

There are currently two approved BECSP projects that will be affected by this dedication
issue including:
• Jamboree Housing — 18431 Beach Blvd.
• G&M Oil Convenience Store — 19442 Beach Blvd.
781
However, it should be noted that this issue will continue to come up for most future
development projects on Beach Blvd.
Other revisions have been proposed to eliminate waivers or pay of in-lieu fees. The
payment of fees in-lieu of providing the required street improvements was codified in the
BECSP, but the City opted not to establish this program to ensure that public
improvements were installed at the time of development. Additionally, instead of waivers,
new provisions have been added to provide alternative improvements for properties that
cannot comply with minimum street improvements.
The main goal of the BECSP amendment is to provide certainty for property owners and
ensure that the City's requirements can be achieved upon approval of a development
project. By removing potential for conflicts with Caltrans requirements, the City can assist
property owners and maintain local control of Beach Blvd. public right of way
improvements and minimize the lengthy and uncertain Caltrans process.
Environmental Status:
ZTA No. 23-002 is categorically exempt pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501,
Class 20, which supplements the California Environmental Quality Act because the
request is a minor amendment to the zoning ordinance that does not change the
development standards intensity or density. Additionally, the text amendment to the
BECSP is within the scope of the BECSP Program Environmental Impact Report No. 08-
008 certified by the Planning Commission on December 8, 2009. In accordance with
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and 15163, no subsequent EIR or supplement to the
EIR need be prepared for this ZTA and no further environmental review or documentation
is required.
Coastal Status:
The proposed amendment will be forwarded to the California Coastal Commission as a
minor Local Coastal Program Amendment for certification.
Other Departments Concerns and Requirements:
The proposed amendments to the City's existing ordinance and specific plan were
prepared with input from the City Attorney's Office, the Building Division, and Department
of Public Works.
Public Notification:
Legal notice was published in the Huntington Beach Wave on Thursday, March 14, 2024,
and notices were sent to individuals/organizations requesting notification (Planning
Division's Notification Matrix). As of March 19, 2024, one communication regarding this
request has been received, regarding the potential inclusion of artificial turf to the
definition of permitted landscaping.
SUMMARY:
782
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Zoning Text
Amendment No. 23-002 with findings and forward to the City Council based on the
following:
• Cleans up the HBZSO and BECSP to improve clarity, address deficiencies, and
maintain currency.
• Codifies existing policies and code interpretations and allows select entitlement
requests to be permitted by right.
• Results in better customer service by providing clear requirements as well as
prompt and cost-effective review process.
• Consistent with General Plan goals and policies.
