reimbursement agreement.
Alternative Action(s):
The City Council may make the following alternative motions:
A. Deny the reimbursement agreement between the City and Socal Holdings, LLC.
B. Continue the item and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
Socal Holdings, LLC, recently submitted applications to amend the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan,
which was originally adopted by the City in February, 2000. Socal Holdings, LLC owns approximately
94 acres of property within the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan boundary located along Pacific Coast
Highway between Goldenwest Street and Seapoint Street. The submittal consists of four applications
(Local Coastal Amendment (LCPA-2025-001), General Plan Amendment (GPA-2025-001), Zoning
Text Amendment (ZTA-2025-002), and Environmental Assessment (EA-2025-002)) to change the
current adopted land useplan and development standards for the future redevelopment of an
P P
existingoilproduction facilitylocated within the Specific Plan area. The proposed land use plan ,
P P P
would provide for a mix of uses including residential, visitor-serving commercial, and open space
uses. The proposed applications require environmental review in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based on the scope of the proposed amendments, an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is required to analyze the potential environmental impacts
associated with the project.
Preparation of the EIR for this project exceeds the capacity of full-time staff and requires technical
expertise in several environmental topic areas. As such, an environmental consultant firm
specializing in CEQA is necessary to complete the work. After requesting proposals from the list of
existing CEQA consultants contracted by the City, LSA Associates was selected.
An on-call professional services contract exists between the City and LSA Associates (Attachment
No. 2) for completion of the CEQA document. This contract was approved and executed on April 5,
2022. Funding for the work associated with preparation of the EIR for the proposed project will be
paid for by Socal Holdings, LLC, as required through the requested reimbursement agreement.
Environmental Status:
This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections
15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change
in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the
CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for
resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. The proposed amendments to
the Palm Goldenwest Specific Plan will be analyzed within an EIR to be prepared pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) upon approval of the subject reimbursement
agreement.

RE: Agenda Item #25-536—Preparation of Environmental Impact Report(EIR) for
Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan Amendment
Dear Chair Pierson and Members of the Planning Commission,
The Kennedy Commission(the Commission) is a broad-based coalition of residents and community
organizations advocating for the production of homes affordable for families earning less than
$30,000 annually in Orange County. Since 2001, we have successfully partnered with jurisdictions
across the county to create housing and land-use policies that increase affordable housing
opportunities for lower-income working families.
We are writing in regards to the reimbursement agreement with Socal Holdings LLC to fund the
preparation of the EIR for the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan amendment. We are aware that Socal
Holdings LLC, owner of 94-acres of property in the Palm/Goldenwest Specific Plan, submitted four
applications to amend and change the adopted land use plan. The proposed amendment would
change the land use of the existing oil production facility into mixed uses like residential,
commercial, and open space. This land use amendment would provide opportunity for
redevelopment of residential units and production of affordable housing.
As future plans for the area are considered,the City has a responsibility to ensure that any new
residential development contributes to meeting the housing needs of its most underserved residents.
The City should be committed to support the affordable housing needs of its low-income residents
that would foster mixed-income communities. The City should focus on providing more affordable
housing opportunities for its communities, especially to address the need of its low income residents
for affordable housing.
The City's RHNA progress highlights the need to prioritize affordable housing production in future
residential developments. In the current housing cycle (2021-2029),the City has completed 186 out
of 3,661 units for very-low income,216 out of 2,184 for low income, 198 out of 2,308 for
moderate, and 560 out of 5,215 for above moderate. While housing production is important at all
income levels, we strongly encourage the City to continue prioritizing the production of affordable
housing for households at the very low-and low-income levels,particularly through long-term
deed-restricted units. Prioritizing affordable housing production should help the City make
measurable progress in meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) goals—especially
in the most underserved income categories.
Moving forward, since the City granted these mixed use opportunities to provide development
incentives there should be public benefit where at least 15%of any units constructed should be
designated as affordable housing, especially for very-low and low income levels.

We look forward to working with the City of Huntington Beach to support the creation of affordable
housing to increase housing opportunities for lower-income residents. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact me at(949) 250-0909 or cesarc@kennedycommission.org.
Sincerely,
Cesar Covarrubias
Executive Director
