Community Development
13. 24-778 Adopted Ordinance No. 4327 Approving Zoning Map Amendment No. 21-003 --
Bolsa Chica Senior Care Community Project
{Approved for Introduction on October 15, 2024, by a vote of 4-3 {Burns, Van Der
Mark, McKeon -No)
Mayor Pro Tern Burns pulled this item to note this is a big decision that affects many community
members, and he still has a lot of unanswered questions. He added he believes this should be
evaluated as a Residential Medium High-Density project and clarification is needed from Clearwater
regarding the number of second beds allowed beyond the 159 units because he believes the number of
second beds approved could change required parking spaces.
Mayor Pro Tern Burns also stated his concern regarding the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) which he believes
needs further evaluation because the actual number presented and discussed at the meeting on October
15, 2024, exceeds the allowed ten percent variance. He noted that the project developer admitted the
actual FAR of 1.68 was inaccurately reported in their presentation materials on October 15, 2024. Mayor
Pro Tern Burns cannot just ignore this fact and believes approving this misinformation may be enough to
Council/PFA Regular Minutes
November 19, 2024
Page 9 of 14
repeal, revoke, or reverse Ordinance No. 4327. He encouraged his fellow Councilmembers to vote "No"
so this project can be reconsidered.
Councilmember Kalmick clarified for the record that what was presented and discussed at the October
15, 2024, meeting was not a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) variance and explained that FAR is used in
commercial but not residential projects. He added this is a very ordinary assisted living facility as
described in Huntington Beach land use regulations in the Commercial Code. Councilmember Kalmick
stated that the October presentation was quite clear to him and added that a ten percent FAR deviation
from the design standards is allowed. He noted that the FAR number is 1.75 in the Specific Plan which
has already been approved, and that is not even being considered in Item #13. Item #13 is only
considering the Zoning text amendment as a second reading of an approved legal document. He stated
there has been no new information presented at this time which would require further discussion.
Councilmember Bolton asked staff if the units in this project would count towards the State mandated
Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) numbers. Community Development Director Jennifer
Villasenor responded that no assisted living units can be counted towards RHNA numbers, and noted
there are no independent living units in this project.
Councilmember Bolton stated this information confirms for her the Balsa Chica Senior Care Community
Project is not a residential project, and she will continue to support this item.
Councilmember Moser stated support for the comments of Councilmembers Kalmick and Bolton. She
added that senior housing is needed in Huntington Beach, but clearly this project is a commercial project
which she continues to support.
Councilmember McKean clarified from his perspective that this project is too dense for the property size.
He explained that the allowed Floor Area Ratio (FAR) under current zoning is 1.5 and this project is 1.68.
A Specific Plan for this property was required to make the project fit. As a commercial developer, he
provided examples of appropriate and inappropriate lot sizes for project plans. He added that it is not the
duty of Councilmembers to make accommodations for a project that is too large for the proposed site.
A motion was made by Kalmick, second Strickland to approve Zoning Map Amendment No. 21-003 by
adopting City Council Ordinance No. 4327, "An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Amending the
Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance to Rezone the Real Property Generally Located on
the Southwest Corner of Warner Avenue at Balsa Chica Street from CG (Commercial General) to SP-19
(Specific Plan No. 19) (Zoning Map Amendment No. 21-003)" (Attachment No. 1).

policy determination to use property tax for historical preservation.
