Hopkins, City Manager PREPARED BY:Steve Holtz, Deputy Director of Community Development; Jessica Kelley, Homeless Services Manager Subject: Approval of Agreement with Mercy House to Operate the City’s Homeless Navigation Center Statement of Issue: The City of Huntington Beach’s Homeless Navigation Center is a 24/7 shelter that provides unhoused adults with a safe place to stay, along with meals, case management, and support services designed to help them transition off the streets and into stable housing. The program is voluntary and structured, with clear behavioral expectations and individualized housing-focused plans for every participant. Residents must have a verifiable connection to Huntington Beach, such as prior residency, employment, or family ties. Individuals who are homeless in Huntington Beach but do not have local ties are referred by the City’s Homeless Outreach Team to alternative shelters in Orange County. Since opening in 2020, the Navigation Center has served 990 individuals - equivalent to more than 35 people per square mile in Huntington Beach over the past five years. The facility has operated near capacity, averaging 158 residents per day in 2024, with a peak census of 168. Without this resource, many of those individuals would likely have remained unsheltered in vehicles, parks, or other public spaces, increasing emergency response demands and placing added strain on public safety staff and community services. To ensure continuity of services and align with the City’s updated performance and fiscal expectations, staff recommends entering into a new agreement with Mercy House, the current shelter operator. The agreement was competitively procured through a Request for Proposals (RFP) and incorporates key programmatic and cost-saving adjustments designed to strengthen service delivery and long-term sustainability. The proposed contract will begin October 1, 2025, and is funded within the City Council-approved FY 2025-26 Navigation Center budget. Financial Impact: Mercy House’s proposed contract totals $2,528,715.13 for the 9-month period of October 1, 2025 to City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 1 of 6 powered by Legistar™ 24 File #:25-467 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 June 30, 2026. The cost is fully funded in the FY 2025-26 adopted budget through the City’s General Fund. Recommended Action: Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a “Service Agreement between the City of Huntington Beach and Mercy House Living Centers for Operations and Management of a Temporary Shelter,” in a not-to-exceed amount of $2,528,715.13 for the period of October 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, with the option to extend for up to two additional one-year terms, subject to future City Council budget approval, to operate the City’s Homeless Navigation Center. Alternative Action(s): 1. Direct staff to reissue the RFP and seek new proposals. 2. Direct staff to renegotiate terms with Mercy House. 3. Do not approve the agreement and provide alternative direction. Analysis: Shelter Overview and Accomplishments The City’s Navigation Center opened in 2020 with 174 beds to provide structured shelter, case management, and wraparound support for unhoused adults in Huntington Beach. Located at 17642 Beach Boulevard, the facility is operated by Mercy House and provides three meals daily, safe sleeping areas, transportation, health care coordination, mental health and substance use recovery services, job and life skills support, and individualized case management focused on housing placement. Since opening, the Navigation Center has served 990 individuals, helping more than 200 transition into permanent or temporary housing. While this represents about one in five clients, the outcome is consistent with regional benchmarks for shelters serving highly vulnerable populations. For those not yet housed, the shelter provides stabilization, daily structure, and critical connections to supportive services that lay the groundwork for future housing opportunities. In 2024 alone, the shelter served 82 seniors and 18 veterans, and maintained an average occupancy rate of 91%, with daily occupancy averaging 158 and peaking at 168. Based on utilization trends, the bed count was reduced from 174 to 164 in July 2025 to better align capacity with demand. This adjustment supports the City’s efforts to manage expenses responsibly while ensuring continued access and high-quality service delivery. The Navigation Center serves a population with high service needs, which makes its performance outcomes even more notable. Since opening, 80% of guests have had a disabling condition, with 61% reporting two or more such conditions. This includes: ·53% with a mental health disorder ·43% with a chronic health condition ·42% with a physical disability City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 2 of 6 powered by Legistar™ 25 File #:25-467 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 ·20% with a developmental disability Additionally, 63% have been chronically homeless, and 10% have been seniors age 65 and older. While employment rates average 10-11%, the program offers ongoing support to increase income stability through employment assistance and benefit acquisition services. The facility serves as a key tool to reduce homelessness and improve public safety by offering clients an alternative to living in public spaces. Participants agree to behavioral rules and receive case management with a focus on long-term stability and community reintegration. Key service accomplishments include: ·High utilization and efficiency: The shelter maintained an occupancy rate above 90% in 2024, indicating consistently strong demand and successful operations. With an average daily occupancy of 158 (out of 174 beds), the facility operated at over 90% capacity throughout the year, confirming its essential role in keeping people off the streets and out of crisis. ·Streamlined transitions to housing: Clients stay for an average of 4.4 months, a relatively short timeframe that reflects both active case management and regular turnover. For those who do transition into housing (more than 200 since the shelter opened), this efficiency creates opportunities for successful exits while continuing to make beds available for others in need. ·Robust service engagement: Over 800 supportive service connections were made in the past year, including medical care, mental health counseling, job referrals, and life skills training. High levels of service engagement show that clients are actively participating in their case plans and receiving tangible support. ·Health and recovery services: Behavioral health and medical services are provided through partner agencies, ensuring that clients receive care for chronic conditions, medication management, and addiction recovery. These services improve stability, reduce costly emergency visits, and promote long-term health outcomes. ·Skill-building and community reintegration: On-site programming includes recovery groups, budgeting classes, job readiness workshops, and fix-it clinics. These services support stability and independence, helping clients prepare for life beyond the shelter and reintegrate successfully into the community. ·Housing coordination: Case managers partner with regional housing providers and landlords to place clients into available units, contributing to more than 200 housing outcomes since the shelter opened. This demonstrates the program’s role as a critical bridge from homelessness to greater stability. Pathways and Future Planning In June 2024, the City Council approved a partnership with Jamboree Housing Corporation to develop Pathways, a permanent shelter on the City-owned Navigation Center property. Jamboree is currently pursuing funding sources to finance construction of the facility. Once all necessary funding has been secured, Jamboree will return to the City Council for final approval before submitting plans for permits and construction. During this development period, the current Navigation Center will City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 3 of 6 powered by Legistar™ 26 File #:25-467 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 remain the City’s primary homeless services facility. The proposed agreement with Mercy House ensures service continuity, operational stability, and consistent support for clients as the City transitions to the future permanent shelter. Updated RFP Process and Contract Structure The City issued an RFP in January 2025 to identify a Navigation Center operator for the next contract term. Although only Mercy House submitted a proposal, the City paused award due to a projected budget shortfall. Staff revised the RFP to reduce costs and enhance accountability, and reissued it in March 2025 with: ·A reduced bed count (174 to 164): Aligns shelter capacity with actual utilization trends, reducing costs while maintaining access for those in need. ·Stronger performance targets: Clarifies expectations for housing placements, service engagement, and successful exits, ensuring more measurable results. ·Enhanced expectations for cleanliness, safety, and reporting: Strengthens day-to-day operational standards, improves transparency, and reinforces a safe, respectful environment for clients and staff. ·Greater clarity on staff training and policy enforcement: Ensures shelter staff are better equipped to address client needs and maintain consistent enforcement of behavioral expectations and safety protocols. ·A strong recommendation to develop a fundraising plan: Encourages the operator to supplement City funding by seeking private contributions, grants, and other sustainable sources. All regional homeless shelter providers were contacted directly and invited to apply. Mercy House again submitted a responsive proposal, meeting all updated criteria. Contract Phasing and Budget Alignment To allow time for staff and Mercy House to complete contract negotiations and incorporate necessary operational changes, the existing agreement was extended through September 30, 2025. The subsequent agreement proposed in this report will begin October 1, 2025, and continue through June 30, 2026, aligning with the City’s fiscal year and establishing a consistent contract cycle for future renewals. The City Council-approved FY 2025-26 budget allocates $3,394,800 for Navigation Center operations. This total includes funding for both the prior 3-month extension and the proposed 9- month agreement and reflects the full anticipated cost for the program in FY 2025-26. Budget Negotiation and Adjustments Following the release of the revised RFP, staff worked closely with Mercy House to revise their original cost proposal and bring it within the City’s adopted budget. This required several significant City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 4 of 6 powered by Legistar™ 27 File #:25-467 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 adjustments, including: ·Bed count reduction from 174 to 164: Already incorporated in the RFP, this change aligns capacity with actual utilization and provides foundational cost savings without limiting access. ·Elimination of one shuttle vehicle and associated staff: The Navigation Center previously operated two shuttles, but the revised agreement provides funding for only one. Shuttle frequency and routes will be adjusted accordingly, with Mercy House prioritizing access based on client needs and proximity to public transportation. ·Staffing and administrative cost adjustments: Mercy House restructured portions of its staffing plan to improve efficiency and reduce overhead. ·Improved food service coordination: Meal planning will now be tied more directly to actual occupancy, improving efficiency and controlling costs. These negotiated reductions reflect a continued effort to control shelter costs while preserving essential services and improving accountability. Key Contract Enhancements The proposed agreement incorporates several updates to strengthen performance monitoring, clarify expectations, and support long-term program success: ·Updated Management, Operations, and Public Safety Plan (MOPS), subject to City approval: Provides a comprehensive framework for daily operations, site safety, and emergency preparedness, aligned with City standards. ·Clear performance accountability tools: Includes provisions for corrective action and payment adjustments when needed, supporting shared goals of service quality and consistency. ·Quarterly outcome and service reporting: Establishes a regular schedule for reviewing program performance and client progress. ·Real-time exit and termination tracking: Offers the City improved visibility into shelter activity to support coordination and transparency. ·Quarterly client feedback surveys: Promotes ongoing service improvement by incorporating client perspectives. ·Individualized participation tracking: Enhances the ability to tailor support and measure client engagement in services and programs. ·Refined safety and policy protocols: Reinforces consistent enforcement of behavioral expectations to ensure a secure and stable shelter environment. ·Staff parking adjustments: Moves staff parking off-site to ensure available spaces for clients and reduce access barriers. ·Streamlined reporting in City formats: Simplifies and standardizes data and financial submissions to improve coordination and oversight. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 5 of 6 powered by Legistar™ 28 File #:25-467 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 Regional Comparison and Operational Efficiency Compared to other Orange County shelters, including Anaheim, Santa Ana, and Costa Mesa, the Huntington Beach Navigation Center delivers comparable or more comprehensive services at a lower per-bed cost. Regional programs average $60-$85 per bed per night. Huntington Beach’s cost of $56.68 per bed includes full wraparound services and has yielded measurable outcomes, including more than 200 housing placements since opening, an average occupancy rate above 90%, and over 800 service connections provided in 2024 alone. These results demonstrate that the program not only operates cost-effectively but also delivers meaningful progress toward housing stability and client engagement. Community Benefit The Navigation Center is a vital component of Huntington Beach’s strategy to reduce homelessness, lessen the strain on emergency services, and create safer, healthier spaces for the entire community. At the same time, it provides residents experiencing homelessness with structure, stability, and a pathway toward housing and independence. The proposed agreement with Mercy House ensures this balance of public benefit and individual support continues uninterrupted during the transition to the Pathways facility. Approving the agreement reaffirms the City’s commitment to a homelessness response that is fiscally responsible and focused on long-term community wellbeing.

The district provides a reliable funding source to market Huntington Beach as a visitor and conference destination. It is funded by a special assessment paid by hotels and short-term rentals on overnight stays of less than 30 days. The purpose of the district is to attract more overnight visitors, which: ·Increases spending at local restaurants, shops, and attractions. ·Grows the City’s tax revenues, including the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). ·Supports local businesses and jobs. The district is managed by Visit Huntington Beach (VHB), the City’s official destination marketing organization and a nonprofit 501(c)(6). State law requires VHB to prepare and submit an Annual Report to the City Council for approval every year. This report describes the programs, improvements, and budget for the upcoming year. Approval by the City Council ensures legal compliance and allows these efforts to continue. Financial Impact: There is no direct financial impact to the City associated with the recommended action. Recommended Action: Approve the HBTBID Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2025-26. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 1 of 5 powered by Legistar™ 147 File #:25-691 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the report and provide direction to staff. Analysis: Huntington Beach TBID Overview The HBTBID is a special business district that funds improvements and services to strengthen Huntington Beach’s visitor economy. Funds are used exclusively to promote overnight stays through marketing, public relations, and event programming. The district currently includes: ·21 hotels and motels, and ·203 short-term rentals (STRs) across the City, including Sunset Beach. Guests staying fewer than 30 days pay a 6% assessment on gross room revenue, in addition to the City’s 10% Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). This assessment rate and methodology are set forth in the HBTBID Management District Plan (MDP), which was updated and approved by the City Council in June 2024. The 2024 updates to the MDP also: ·Increased the assessment rate from 4% to 6%. ·Directed 10% of assessments to a dedicated Tourism Enhancement Program (TEP) to fund visitor-serving projects. The current HBTBID authorization runs through June 30, 2028. Annual Report Summary No changes to the HBTBID boundaries are proposed for FY 2025-26. VHB continues to strengthen Huntington Beach’s competitiveness as a visitor destination through digital marketing, group sales, and media engagement. Tourism Enhancement Program (TEP) projects funded include wayfinding signage, accessibility upgrades, seasonal beach restrooms, the Ambassador Program, event infrastructure, and planning for the International Surfing Museum. In FY 2025-26, VHB will expand international outreach (with new representation in the UK and Ireland), increase partnerships supporting events and training, enhance accessibility and storytelling in collaboration with the City, and strengthen internal efficiency and research. Budget Summary City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 2 of 5 powered by Legistar™ 148 File #:25-691 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 VHB bases its revenue projections for FY 2025-26 on factors such as group meeting bookings, weather conditions, hotel partner forecasts, and increased demand for short-term rentals. Assessment revenue is projected at $10,354,873, approximately 4% lower than the previous year’s estimate. This reflects a more conservative approach based on recent performance and broader industry trends. With an additional $153,500 in other revenues (retail, ticket sales, digital advertising, and investment income) and $800,058 in rollover funds from the prior year, the total projected income is $11,308,431. Planned expenses total $11,629,855, with the majority allocated to core TBID assessment programs. INCOME FY 25/26 Estimated TBID Assessments $10,354,873 Retail, Ticket Sales, Digital Advertising, Investment Income $153,500 Estimated Carryover from Prior Year $800,058 Total Income $11,308,431 EXPENSES TBID Assessment Expenses Sales and Marketing $7,765,342 Tourism Enhancement Programs (TEP)$1,531,958 Administration $2,178,608 Contingency/Reserve $25,000 City Collection Costs $98,047 Subtotal - TBID Funded Expenses $11,598,955 Non-TBID Fund Expenses (Advocacy, Board/Staff Events)$30,900 TOTAL EXPENSES $11,629,855 The FY 2025-26 budget reflects a planned deficit of $321,424, which will be covered by reserves. VHB’s history of underspending has generated rollover funds and a strong reserve balance, ensuring long-term financial security. This approach sustains robust promotion of Huntington Beach while maintaining flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions. Breakdown of TBID-Funded Programs Percentages reflect the allocation of anticipated TBID revenue, while actual dollar amounts also include rollover, reserve, and other income. Allocations follow Council-approved MDP categories, with additional funds directed to Sales & Marketing per VHB Board guidance. ·Sales and Marketing (69%)- $7,765,342 - Advertising, public relations, sales, events, digital and influencer campaigns, and international promotion (UK/Ireland representation through agency partner JNS Next).

This can result in reduced visibili ty for business pages and posts, leading to lower organic reach. Recent algorithm updates have further emphasized user engagement, meaning posts th at don't generate interaction may be shown to fewer users. These changes have led to a significant decrease in organic reach (the numb er of people reached for free) for business pages. This means that businesses need to rely more on paid advertising to reach their target aud ience.Because paying for visibility provides more visibility on the platform, VHB will be working on optimizing its bidding strategy and incre asing its ad budget to reach a wider audience, as well as reassess its benchmark KPIs for Facebook because of the vast changes. * FY 24 -25 HIGHLIGHTS 158 PUBLIC RELATIONS PRESS TRIP RESULTS Locations Included: US, Canada, Australia & New Zealand, Germany, China and more… VHB Hosted: 34 JOURNALISTS AND 11 INFLUENCERS Surpassed FY 24 -25 goal by 104% Audience: 3.5 BILLION Surpassed FY 24 -25 goal by 1254% Estimated Views: 15.9 MILLION Surpassed FY 24 -25 goal by 1125% PRESS TRIP HIGHLIGHTS Mykenna Dorn, Canada @myeknna Rob Longley, Canada Toronto Sun Micheal Dietz, Germany Reisen Reisen Der Podcast Leslie Hsu Oh, US Travel +Leisure Amber Turpin, US The Mercury News Isa Tousignant, US/Canada TimeOut Anna Halkidis , US Parent Magazine Katherine McMahon, US @vinyardandvoyages FY 24 -25 HIGHLIGHTS 159 PUBLIC RELATIONS MEDIA COVERAGE FY 24 -25 HIGHLIGHTS 160 TOURISM DEVELOPMENT HELLOWORLD GLOBAL STARS FAM Hosted 13 top -selling agents and product managers from Australia for Helloworld and Viva Holiday’s epic 50 th Anniversary Global STARS FAM.

This annual report, called the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), documents the City’s use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds for the recently completed Fiscal Year (FY 2024-25). The CAPER must be submitted to HUD by September 30. Financial Impact: There is no financial impact associated with this action. This report summarizes expenditures already made. Recommended Action: A) Adopt the FY 2024-25 CAPER for CDBG and HOME funds; and B) Authorize the City Manager to transmit the report to HUD by September 30, 2025. Alternative Action(s): HUD requires submission of the CAPER by September 30 to maintain eligibility for CDBG and HOME funds. Staff does not recommend any alternatives. Analysis: CDBG is the federal government’s primary program for helping local governments improve physical, economic, and social conditions for low- and moderate-income residents. HOME is the principal federal program providing local governments with grants to expand the availability of affordable City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 1 of 4 powered by Legistar™ 208 File #:25-720 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 federal program providing local governments with grants to expand the availability of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income residents. The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan describes the City’s proposed use of CDBG and HOME funds to address housing and non-housing community development needs of low- and moderate-income residents during the five-year plan period. To achieve the goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan, each year the City prepares an Annual Action Plan that outlines the projects, programs, and activities that will be implemented. The current Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan are available for public review on the City’s website at https://www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/cdbg. After the conclusion of each year, the City must prepare a CAPER summarizing the expenditure of funds and the accomplishments for that year. These plans and reports are required to be prepared and submitted to HUD to remain eligible for federal entitlement grant funds. The draft FY 2024-25 CAPER (Attachment 1) has been prepared in a HUD-prescribed format containing the required information. Per federal regulations, the CAPER was made available for public review and comment. A notice was published in The Wave on August 28, 2025, inviting public comment and participation at the City Council meeting. Following this 15-day review period, the CAPER must be approved by the City Council and submitted to HUD by September 30. In FY 2024-25, the City Council provided funding to four nonprofit organizations that delivered a range of services benefitting lower-income Huntington Beach residents. Funds were also allocated to City programs for housing repairs and improvements, special code enforcement, and emergency rental assistance for lower-income residents. The program accomplishments summarized below represent key highlights of the City's CDBG and HOME programs. For a comprehensive overview of all accomplishments for the year, please refer to the attached CAPER. Public Services Accomplishments (CDBG) Federal regulations allow up to 15 percent of annual CDBG funds to be used for public service programs. In FY 2024-25, the City Council allocated the maximum amount of $168,179 for public service programs administered by social service agencies and City departments that assisted youth and homeless individuals. Examples of public service program accomplishments during FY 2024-25 include: ·After-school enrichment activities and healthy development programs for 150 children (achieving the enrollment goal of 150 children). ·Homelessness prevention and assistance services were provided to 170 residents, compared to a goal of 121 individuals. Capital Accomplishments (CDBG) The City Council allocated $947,072 to CDBG capital projects to assist lower-income households. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 2 of 4 powered by Legistar™ 209 File #:25-720 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 The program accomplishments include: ·20 housing units occupied by low- and moderate-income residents were rehabilitated, compared to a goal of 13. ·Two code enforcement officers conducted proactive inspections and compliance assistance at 1,008 housing units serving lower-income residents, exceeding the annual goal of 600 units. ·Infrastructure improvements in Maintenance Zone 2 resulted in the installation/stabilization of 17 curbs and ramps at various locations, providing access to over 2,750 people. ·Accessible restroom improvements were completed at the City’s Central Library in FY 2024- 25, with an estimated 24,225 people anticipated to benefit annually. Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (HOME) The City Council dedicated $400,000 in HOME funds to the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program, which helps prevent homelessness by providing short-term rental and utility assistance to lower-income households. The program is administered by Families Forward and Mercy House. In FY 2024-25, a total of 40 households received emergency assistance through TBRA. In November 2022, the City Council also approved the Mobile Home TBRA Program, which provides similar assistance specifically for lower-income seniors living in mobile homes who are struggling with rising space rents. Unlike the regular TBRA program, the mobile home program is administered directly by Housing Division staff. In FY 2024-25, the City allocated $446,252 in HOME funds to this program. During the year, 22 senior households received assistance, bringing the total number of participating households to 81 since the program launched in April 2023. Navigation Center (HOME-American Rescue Plan) In 2021, as part of the federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) pandemic relief legislation, the City received a special one-time allocation of approximately $2.2 million in HOME-ARP funds. These funds are intended to help communities respond to homelessness and housing instability. Since then, the City has used HOME-ARP funding to support operations at the Huntington Beach Navigation Center. Eligible activities have included housing navigation services, daily meals, transportation support such as shuttle leases, fuel and vehicle repairs, and client transportation assistance (e.g., bus passes, shuttle rides, or similar support). In FY 2024-25, the City expended about $1,061,909 in HOME-ARP funding on these activities, along with approximately $20,596 in administrative costs for City staff. Through these efforts, Mercy House, the Navigation Center operator, assisted 409 unduplicated homeless individuals during the year. The remaining $250,000 in HOME-ARP funds will be used in FY 2025-26 to continue eligible activities and provide ongoing operating support at the Navigation Center.

The City receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD on a formula basis each year, and in turn, implements projects and awards grants to nonprofit, for‐profit, or public organizations for projects in furtherance of the adopted Consolidated Plan. The CDBG and HOME programs generally provide a range of eligible activities for the benefit of low‐ and moderate‐income Huntington Beach residents. The CAPER discusses affordable housing outcomes, homelessness and special needs activities, non-housing community development activities, and other actions in furtherance of the City’s Annual Action Plan projects and programs for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 (July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025). For the 2024/25 fiscal year, the City received $1,121,195 of CDBG funds from HUD, which were combined in the Action Plan with $447,163 of unexpended CDBG funds from prior years, and $44,726.72 in program income receipts for a total investment of $1,613,084.72. In HOME funding, the City was awarded $538,328, coupled with $542,762 in prior year unspent funds, and new program income received in the amount of $17,097, made $1,098,187 available for the fiscal year. This investment of CDBG and HOME funds was a catalyst for positive change in the community. Together with other federal, state and local investments, HUD resources allowed the City and its partners to: • Provide fair housing services to 333 residents. • Provide homelessness prevention and assistance services to 579 residents. • Provide public services to 150 children. • Provide tenant-based rental assistance and housing operation services to 62 eligible households. • Provide 20 homeowners with assistance in the form of grants and loans to make significant housing repairs and improvements. • Remove architectural barriers by upgrading sidewalks and curbs and providing improved and accessible restrooms at the City’s Central Library benefiting 26,975 persons with disabilities. 214 2024/25 CAPER 3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) In 2021, HUD allocated $2,240,675 to the City of Huntington Beach under the HOME-American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP), aimed at reducing homelessness and increasing housing stability. To date, $2,190,675 has been dedicated to supportive services at the Navigation Center, with an additional $50,000 allocated for program administration. During the fiscal year 2024/25, the Navigation Center provided supportive services to 409 unduplicated individuals, including 18 Veterans and 73 elderly persons. This continued investment reflects the City's ongoing commitment to addressing homelessness and enhancing housing stability. The figure below illustrates the City's priority needs as well as the strategies implemented to address these priorities, as outlined in the City's Five-Year Consolidated Plan. 215 2024/25 CAPER 4 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Priority Need 5-Year Implementing Goals and Projects/Programs Households with Housing Problems Sustain and Strengthen Neighborhoods ➢ Owner-Occupied Single Family, Condo, and Mobile Home Rehabilitation Grant Program (40 housing units) ➢ Owner-Occupied Single-Family Rehabilitation Loan Program (10 housing units) ➢ Housing Rehabilitation Loan Administration (50 housing units) ➢ Special Code Enforcement Program (3000 housing units) Preserve Existing and Create New Affordable Housing ➢ Acquisition/Rehabilitation/New Construction (20 housing units) ➢ Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (100 households) Homelessness Support Efforts to Address Homelessness ➢ Homeless Outreach Program (2,000 persons) ➢ StandUp for Kids Street Outreach Program (560 persons) ➢ Robyne’s Nest Housing for Homeless High Schoolers (45 persons) ➢ Navigation Center Operations Program (100 persons) Special Needs Populations Support Agencies that Assist Special Needs Populations ➢ Senior Services Care Management Program (825 persons) ➢ Oakview Family Literacy Program (950 persons) Priority Community Services Increase Access to Community Services for Low- and Moderate- Income Persons ➢ Children’s Bureau (2,000 persons) Priority Community and Public Facilities Preserve Existing and Create New Community and Public Services ➢ Various Community and Public Facility Projects (5,000 persons) Priority Infrastructure Improvements Provide Needed Infrastructure Improvements ➢ Various Public Infrastructure Improvement Projects (2,000 persons) Other Housing and Community Development Needs Planning for Housing and Community Development ➢ CDBG Program Administration ➢ HOME Program Administration ➢ Fair Housing Foundation 216 2024/25 CAPER 5 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CR-05 – Goals and Outcomes Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan.

Table 1 - Accomplishments – Program Year & Strategic Plan to Date 221 2024/25 CAPER 10 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified. Consistent with the City’s Priority Needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan, the City allocated majority of its CDBG funding to non-housing community development activities (public facilities, infrastructure, and services), preceded by the community’s housing needs and program administration funded by both CDBG and HOME. The City’s Priority Needs are a product of the Needs Assessment, Housing Market Analysis, public input, and community needs survey – all conducted during the development of the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan’s five-year priorities for assistance with CDBG and HOME funds also takes into consideration several factors such as: 1) those households most in need of housing and community development assistance, as determined through the Consolidated Plan needs assessment, consultation, and public participation process; 2) which activities will best meet the needs of those identified households; and 3) the extent of other non-federal resources that can be utilized to leverage/match CDBG and HOME funds to address these needs. Overall, the projects and programs approved in the FY 2024/25 Annual Action Plan effectively maximized the impact of the available resources. Under the category of Affordable Housing, the City allocated funds for homeowner rehabilitation and tenant-based rental assistance. The City aimed to fund and complete 13 rehabilitation projects within the year, and overachieved this target by completing 20. Additionally, the City supported three tenant-based rental assistance programs, including one specifically for senior mobile home occupants requiring help with space rents. The original goal was to assist 60 households, but the City surpassed this objective by providing assistance to 62 households, achieving 103% of the goal. The City did not set any goals for the creation of new rental units in FY 2024/25. However, during FY 2020/21, the City allocated $2.8 million to the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project, which was completed during the fiscal year. In collaboration with Jamboree Housing Corporation, the City developed the site at 18431 Beach Boulevard. The project features 42 one-bedroom/one-bath units, one two-bedroom/one-bath manager’s unit, ground-level and subterranean parking, conference and office rooms, resident lounges, and outdoor amenities such as a courtyard and a dog park. The project incorporates nine units with HOME-restricted rents, 21 units designated for Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) eligible individuals experiencing homelessness, and 12 units for non-MHSA senior households facing homelessness. The project was completed in January 2025. The last program under the category of Affordable Housing is the Special Code Enforcement 222 2024/25 CAPER 11 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Program. The City had a goal to inspect 600 housing units under State and local health, safety, and building codes, and met 168% of the goal. Public service allocations amounted to the maximum allowable under CDBG regulations (15 percent of the annual allocation). The City allocated $65,250 to the Children’s Bureau after school program; $19,215 to StandUp for Kids Street Outreach; $50,000 to Robyne’s Nest; and $33,714 to Project Hope Alliance. In its efforts to address homelessness, the City significantly exceeded its goal by assisting 579 individuals out of the proposed 121, achieving over 478% of the target. This support was provided through programs such as StandUp for Kids Street Outreach, Robyne’s Nest, Project Hope Alliance, and the Navigation Center. Additionally, under the goal to increase access to community services for low- and moderate-income persons, the Children’s Bureau met its target of 150 by providing free after-school programming to children in the Oak View neighborhood. One non-housing community development project was funded in FY 2024/25 - the ADA Curb Cuts in Maintenance Zone 2 project. The Project involved removing curbs and reconstructing them as ramps to improve accessibility for wheelchair users and individuals with visual impairments. Completed at the end of FY 2024/25, this initiative has enhanced access to street intersections for 2,750 individuals. Additionally, the Central Library, located at 7111 Talbert Avenue, was completed in FY 2024/25. This 2023/24 project had restrooms from the 1970s that did not meet current ADA accessibility standards. Given that the library serves hundreds of visitors each week, the City undertook improvements to remove architectural barriers and enhance restroom accessibility for all individuals, including those with disabilities. It is estimated that 24,225 disabled persons in Huntington Beach benefit from the restroom improvements. As a reminder, results may vary from year to year based on the timing of funding and project completion. Affordable housing, public facilities, and public infrastructure projects typically span multiple years. 223 2024/25 CAPER 12 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CR-10 - Racial and Ethnic C omposition of F amilies A ssisted Describe the families assisted (including the racial and ethnic status of families assisted).

HOME funds were utilized for tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA) targeting homeless individuals, victims of domestic violence, veterans, and senior mobile homeowners, as well as fair housing services. Among the beneficiaries of the HOME-funded TBRA programs, 85% identified as White, while 21% were of Hispanic ethnicity. Black or African American and Asian individuals comprised 5% of HOME program recipients each. Similarly, CDBG-funded activities benefited 76% of individuals who identified as White, over 9% who were Asian, under 1% who were Black, and over 19% who identified as Hispanic, regardless of race. 224 2024/25 CAPER 13 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CR-15 - Resources and Investments Identify the resources made available.

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provided an entitlement amount of $1,121,195. In addition to this, there was $619,433.73 in unspent funds from prior years, and program income of $116,879.82 (includes 2024 and 2025 receipts), resulting in a total of $1,857,508.55 available for CDBG activities. For the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, the entitlement amount for FY 2024/25 was $538,328. This was supplemented by $17,097 in receipted program income and $542,762 in uncommitted prior year funds, bringing the total available HOME funding to $1,098,187. These funds will be utilized to advance the City's housing objectives for the fiscal year. During the 2024/25 program year, the City expended a total of $3,106,136.16 in federal resources and program income to address the needs of extremely low, low, and moderate- income individuals. Of this, $1,287,473.04 was disbursed to CDBG activities. These expenditures covered a range of projects and programs approved both for FY 2024/25 and earlier years, including public services, public facility and infrastructure projects, code enforcement, homeowner rehabilitation, housing services, and program administration. In addition, $912,576.39 was disbursed from HOME funds, with the majority, $770,329.81, dedicated to tenant-based rental assistance programs. The remainder was used for HOME program administration. Finally, during the reporting period, a total of $906,186.73 was disbursed from the special HOME funds provided through the American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) Program. Of this amount, $881,898.57 supported the Navigation Center, which provides essential services to persons experiencing homelessness, including case management through the Housing 225 2024/25 CAPER 14 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Navigation Team, meals, snacks and beverages, and transportation assistance such as shuttle leases, fuel, and vehicle repairs. An additional $24,288.16 was expended on program administration to ensure effective oversight and management of the HOME-ARP Program. In September 2025, a further $303,575.92 was disbursed, and the remaining balance of $261,114.04 is expected to be expended during the remainder of FY 2025–26.

Narrative In FY 2024/25, the majority of funds were allocated to projects and programs available citywide, covering a range of activities such as public services, homeowner rehabilitation, tenant-based rental assistance, housing services, homeless supportive services, and administrative activities. Typically, projects within the Low- and Moderate-Income Areas focus on public facility or infrastructure improvements. However, for this fiscal year, such projects were limited to the removal of architectural barriers to individuals with disabilities. These accessibility improvements benefit persons with disabilities citywide. A total of six percent of the expended funds were allocated to code enforcement activities, which were conducted within a specific target area designated as the Special Code Enforcement Area, developed in accordance with HUD requirements. The City carried out a visual (windshield) survey of CDBG-eligible areas to identify properties, businesses, parkways, alleys, and structures that met the City's definition of "deteriorated or deteriorating." This survey revealed that low- and moderate-income areas within the boundaries of Bolsa Chica Street to the west, Bolsa Avenue to the north, Brookhurst Street to the east, and Atlanta Avenue to the south exhibited the highest levels of property deterioration. Consequently, this area was designated as the Special Code Enforcement Target Area. The area includes several census tracts and is home to 46,650 residents, of whom 32,395, or 69.44%, are classified as low- or moderate-income. 226 2024/25 CAPER 15 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) SPECIAL CODE ENFORCEMENT TARGET AREA TOTAL POPULATION V.

The City is mandated to provide a 25 percent match for all HOME funds drawn down for HOME activities, excluding those funded by program income or administrative funds. To meet this requirement, the City has historically leveraged resources from other local funds, such as former redevelopment tax increment and, more recently, bond financing, in conjunction with HOME-assisted affordable housing acquisition and rehabilitation. Due to these past leveraging efforts, the City has accumulated a surplus of match credits. As of the end of the 2024 Federal fiscal year (October 1, 2023 – September 30, 2024), the City's HOME match liability is $150,476.19. To fulfill this requirement, the City will utilize its surplus of match credits from previous years. The match carry-over surplus from prior years amounts to $3,753,786.76. After applying the required match for 2024 the remaining excess match to be carried forward into the next Federal fiscal year (October 1, 2024 – September 30, 2025) will be $3,603,310.56.

The City allocated $846,252 in HOME funds to operate three tenant-based rental assistance programs. Families Forward received $200,000 to assist households with children. With an enrollment goal of 15 households, the program exceeded expectations by serving 23 families by year-end. Mercy House was also awarded $200,000 to support individuals who were homeless or at risk of homelessness, including veterans and victims of domestic violence. Their goal was to assist 15 households, and they surpassed this target by serving 17. The third program, the Mobile Home Rental Assistance Program, was allocated $446,252 to help senior 232 2024/25 CAPER 21 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) mobile homeowners with space rents. While the program proposed to serve 30 households, 22 households were enrolled by the end of FY 2024/25. In addition to tenant-based rental assistance programs, the City completed a 43-unit senior affordable housing development at 18431 Beach Boulevard, known as the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Apartments (Pelican Harbor). The project received $2.8 million in HOME funds in FY 2020/21 and approximately $10 million in Project-Based Vouchers from the Orange County Housing Authority. Designed for households earning 30–50 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), 21 of the 33 Project-Based Vouchers are reserved for Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) eligible individuals experiencing homelessness with incomes at or below 30 percent AMI. Twelve vouchers are allocated to non-MHSA senior households at or below 30 percent AMI, and nine units are restricted to households earning up to 50 percent AMI. The development consists of a four-story building with a one-level subterranean parking garage, featuring 42 one-bedroom units and one two-bedroom manager’s unit. Construction was completed, and leasing began in January 2025. Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans. The Huntington Beach 2020/21–2024/25 Consolidated Plan estimated that it could develop 20 housing units through acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction by the end of the Plan period (June 30, 2025). Completion of the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project fulfilled nearly half of this five-year goal. However, due to the City’s high rental costs, the need for tenant-based rental assistance has become more urgent than the development of additional units. In response, the City has prioritized funding rental assistance programs and has formally requested a waiver of the 15% CHDO reservation requirement to more effectively address local housing needs. Future Annual Action Plans will reinforce the City’s focus on rental assistance as the most effective way to respond to the community’s housing challenges. While the development of new affordable housing remains a priority, the completion of the Huntington Beach Senior Housing Project shows that unit production goals can be met gradually over time. At the same time, the overwhelming demand for tenant-based rental assistance highlights the need to direct more resources toward helping residents with immediate housing costs. Future Annual Action Plans will continue to balance long-term housing development with short-term rental assistance.

Contributing factors include a shortage of affordable housing, increasing poverty rates, reduced subsidies, substance abuse issues, the de- institutionalization of the mentally ill, and a rising number of individuals who may view homelessness as a lifestyle choice. To address this issue, Orange County conducts a biennial enumeration of both sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals in a 24-hour period. This effort, known as the Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count, is required by Congress for all communities receiving U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding for homeless programs. HUD mandates that the PIT Count take place during the last ten days of January. For 2024, the count was conducted by the County of Orange and the Orange County Continuum of Care, with the sheltered count taking place on the night of January 22, 2024, and the unsheltered count occurring from the morning of January 23 through January 25, 2024. The 2024 PIT Count identified 7,322 homeless individuals in Orange County, marking a significant 28% increase from the 2022 count, which recorded 5,718 individuals. Specifically in Huntington Beach, the count revealed 433 total homeless persons, with 173 classified as unsheltered and 260 as sheltered. This represents an increase from the 2022 figures, where there were 330 total homeless individuals – 188 unsheltered and 142 sheltered. The City of Huntington Beach has implemented an ambitious strategy to address and ultimately end homelessness. In FY 2021/22, the City took significant steps by appointing a Deputy Director of Homelessness & Behavioral Health Services and establishing the Homeless & Behavioral Health System. This comprehensive system aims to support individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness through outreach, engagement, case management, and connecting them with essential services such as shelter, housing, and behavioral health support. Although the Deputy Director’s position has evolved since February 2022, the City continues to staff and support homelessness services. 235 2024/25 CAPER 24 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) The HB Cares Volunteers program is an integral part of the Homeless & Behavioral Health System in Huntington Beach, serving as the backbone of the initiative and driving positive change within the community. Since its launch in 2023, the HB CARES Program has successfully recruited and trained 22 volunteers who have undergone various training sessions, including de-escalation techniques, trauma-informed care, vicarious trauma, and Mental Health First Aid. Volunteers answer the homeless outreach line daily and return calls, so those in need have a streamlined means of communication with our outreach team. Further, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist started in December 2023 and has assisted with 56 Disabling Condition Assessments. The therapist will continue to support mental health services on an as-needed basis. The Homeless & Behavioral Health System also incorporated homeless outreach social workers who actively engaged with unhoused and at-risk of being unhoused individuals, families, veterans, and seniors. Social workers offered support by linking individuals to resources, service providers, and aiding in securing necessary documents for County of Orange housing programs. They maintained close collaboration with local and county shelters, including the Huntington Beach Navigation Center, while also partnering with crisis response teams like Be Well to provide comprehensive assistance and support to those in need. Working in collaboration with Homeless Task Force officers, they ensured that individuals received the necessary care and resources to address their unique situations effectively. Be Well OC in Huntington Beach (BWOC) is another component of the Homeless & Behavioral Health System. BWOC employs a Mobile Crisis Response Team composed of two Crisis Interventionists who drive to locations and provide in-community assessment and stabilization services. The teams are well-trained and experienced in providing appropriate information, referrals, transportation to services, and additional follow-up support and case management - to help address mental health-related situations. In FY 2024/25, the City's CDBG Program continued its support for outreach and assessment of homeless individuals through the StandUp for Kids Street Outreach, Robyne’s Nest, and Project Hope Alliance Programs. StandUp for Kids operates a Street Outreach program where volunteer staff actively patrol the streets to locate and support homeless and at-risk youth aged 12 to 24 who are either unsheltered or unstably housed. The program provided crucial services including food, clothing, hygiene items, and survival kits. In addition to these essentials, the program offered medical assistance and compassionate mentoring aimed at helping young individuals 236 2024/25 CAPER 25 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) transition from homelessness to a more stable and hopeful future. In FY 2024/25, StandUp for Kids received $19,215 in CDBG funding and assisted 24 youth with their homelessness services. In FY 2024/25, Robyne’s Nest was awarded $50,000 to continue its vital work in supporting homeless youth in Huntington Beach. The program plays a crucial role in assessing the needs of homeless youth and helping them become stable and productive citizens. Robyne’s Nest focuses on identifying homeless youth, evaluating their individual needs, and developing personalized plans aimed at stability and success. The program provides a broad array of services, including academic support, financial guidance, and life skills development. This support encompasses assistance with housing resources, essential needs like food and clothing, and educational aid such as tutoring, providing Chromebooks, school supplies, and covering fees. Furthermore, the program offers comprehensive support for the health and well-being of the youth, including counseling, therapy, mentoring, and life skills classes. Over the past fiscal year, Robyne’s Nest assisted 25 homeless youth, surpassing its goal of 20. In FY 2024/25, Project Hope Alliance (PHA) received $33,714 in CDBG funding to provide outreach and assessments for homeless youth. PHA offered comprehensive, wraparound support to 121 homeless individuals through its dedicated case managers. These case managers were available around the clock, allowing them to build meaningful relationships and address both expected and emergent needs or crises as they arose. Their support encompassed a range of services, including academic guidance, social-emotional mentorship, transportation, access to technology, basic needs, and referrals for additional resources. This approach ensured that the youth received the tailored assistance necessary to help them stabilize and succeed. The City continued to support the operations and services at the Navigation Center in FY 2024/25. Located at 17642 Beach Boulevard, the Navigation Center, which opened in December 2020, offers 174 beds for overnight shelter and provides direct access to essential services aimed at helping individuals experiencing homelessness move towards housing stability. Upon seeking assistance at the Navigation Center, individuals are first assessed by the City’s Homeless Task Force. During the fiscal year, the Center provided support to a total of 817 homeless persons with funding from a special allocation of HOME funds from the American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) Act awarded in previous years. These combined efforts reflect the City’s commitment to addressing homelessness and facilitating pathways to long-term housing solutions. 237 2024/25 CAPER 26 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons In FY 2020/21, the City of Huntington Beach partnered with Mercy House to launch the Navigation Center, an emergency homeless shelter. This facility has received significant federal funding to support its operations, including $1,408,395 from CDBG, $2,028,847 from CDBG-CV (for activities related to COVID-19 prevention, preparation, and response), and $2,190,675 from HOME-ARP (unspent funds will be carried over into FY 2025/26). The Navigation Center can shelter up to 174 adults and couples under normal conditions. In FY 2024/25, the Center provided emergency shelter to 409 individuals using HOME-ARP funding. In FY 2021/22, the City initiated the HB Oasis project in collaboration with the State of California Homekey Program, the County of Orange, National CORE, and American Family Housing. This project involved acquiring and rehabilitating the former Quality Inn & Suites motel at 17251 Beach Boulevard to address homelessness in the region. HB Oasis served as interim housing for up to 62 individuals and households in Orange County's Central Service Planning Area. It provided not only transitional housing but also comprehensive property management and residential support services. The focus was on trauma-informed, evidence-based operations to support residents' reintegration into the community through robust case management and connections to permanent housing solutions. In May 2024, the HB Oasis project transitioned to permanent supportive housing. This transition involved renovating the individual units to include kitchenettes and utilizing project- based vouchers to support long-term housing stability for its residents. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals); and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs To prevent homelessness and support at-risk populations, Huntington Beach actively participated in the Orange County Continuum of Care System. This system is designed to provide assistance to individuals at risk of becoming homeless, ensuring a network of support for those in need. In FY 2024/25 the City maintained its commitment to supporting families through rental 238 2024/25 CAPER 27 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) assistance programs. Families Forward received $200,000 to assist households with children, aiming to provide critical support to those in need. Additionally, $200,000 was awarded to Mercy House to provide assistance to income-eligible households, veterans, and victims of domestic violence. Finally, $446,252 was allocated to the Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Program to help senior mobile homeowners manage the rising costs of space rents. Across all tenant-based rental assistance programs, a total of 62 households were assisted during the fiscal year. Although the City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) or Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding and therefore is not required to develop a discharge coordination policy, it remains committed to addressing this issue. The City will continue to work with the Orange County Housing Authority and the Continuum of Care Homeless Issues Task Force to develop and refine its discharge coordination policy. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again In its ongoing efforts to address homelessness and prevent those at risk from falling into homelessness, the City of Huntington Beach has implemented several strategic initiatives aimed at assisting various populations, including chronically homeless individuals, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth. The City's approach focuses on helping these individuals transition to permanent housing and independent living, reducing the duration of homelessness, facilitating access to affordable housing, and preventing recurrence of homelessness among those who have recently been housed. Key efforts include actively securing both short-term and long-term funding, partnering with experienced service providers to leverage additional resources, and creating or securing affordable housing. Additionally, the City provides comprehensive case management services and engages in street outreach to connect homeless individuals to available resources. For example, the conversion of the former Quality Inn Hotel into the Huntington Beach Oasis project provided 62 non-congregate transitional units, offering extensive wraparound supportive services. These services addressed various challenges such as mental and physical health issues, substance use, trauma, and employment barriers. The success of this initiative led to its conversion to permanent housing in May 2024. 239 2024/25 CAPER 28 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Similarly, the Navigation Center, supported by over $3.5 million in CDBG and CDBG-CV funding and nearly $2.2 million in HOME-ARP funding, offers substantial wraparound services to help individuals transition from emergency shelter to more stable housing. Services will continue in FY 2025/26 until all unspent HOME-ARP funding is expended. Also, the City is planning to repurpose the Navigation Center property into a permanent navigation center and affordable housing development project in the future. In June 2024, the City Council approved an 18- month Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with Jamboree Housing to explore the development of a permanent supportive housing project titled “Pathways.” The Pathways Project would replace the temporary Navigation Center with a four-level permanent facility featuring 70 housing units, and supportive services integrated into the design. The project depends heavily on securing grants and funding, and full construction readiness could take two or more years. Finally, the City continued to prioritize tenant-based rental assistance, providing subsidies to 62 households in FY 2024/25 to support those in need. 240 2024/25 CAPER 29 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CR-30 - Public Housing Actions taken to address the needs of public housing. The City of Huntington Beach does not have any public housing developments. However, it benefits from the services of the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA), which manages Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) for residential units within Huntington Beach. Currently, 644 households in Huntington Beach receive Section 8 vouchers from OCHA, including 120 families, 115 disabled individuals, and 409 elderly households. Additionally, OCHA administers various other voucher programs, including 44 Continuum of Care, 13 Family Self-Sufficiency, 22 Family Unification, one Non-Elderly Disabled, 114 Portability, 81 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing, and 56 Emergency Housing Vouchers. Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership. Not applicable. Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs. Not applicable. 241 2024/25 CAPER 30 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CR-35 - Other Actions Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. Through the administration of the CDBG and HOME programs, every effort is made to remove barriers to affordable housing through agreements with for-profit and nonprofit affordable housing developers. These efforts also include working with neighborhood residents to ensure affordable housing projects are acceptable. Ongoing monitoring of “for sale” affordable units is conducted by department staff by assuring that the affordable housing covenants are recorded on title when the unit is sold. To address the decline in sources of housing funds, the City will continue to advocate for and pursue federal, state, local and private funding sources for affordable housing. Additionally, as part of the City’s Housing Element update, the City must assess and to the extent feasible, mitigate, its governmental constraints to housing for lower- and moderate- income households and persons with disabilities. The Housing Element addresses the City’s provisions for affordable housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing. The following programs in the City's 2013-2021 Housing Element specifically address the variety of regulatory and financial tools used by the City to remove barriers and facilitate the provision of affordable housing: Multi-family Acquisition/Rehabilitation through Non-Profit Developers: Acquire, rehabilitate, and establish affordability covenants on 80 rental units. Residential and Mixed-Use Sites Inventory: Maintain current inventory of vacant and underutilized development sites and provide developers with information on incentives. Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan: Facilitate development through flexible, form-based standards and streamlined processing. Encourage affordable housing by requiring inclusionary units to be provided on-site, or within the Specific Plan, and providing additional incentives for increased percentages of affordable units. Inclusionary Housing Program and Housing Trust Fund: Continue implementation and re-evaluate Ordinance to provide consistency with case law and market conditions. 242 2024/25 CAPER 31 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Establish in-lieu fee amount for projects between 10-30 units. Affordable Housing Development Assistance: Provide financial and regulatory assistance in support of affordable housing. Provide information on incentives to development community. Affordable Housing Density Bonus: Continue to offer density bonus incentives as a means of enhancing the economic feasibility of affordable housing development. Development Fee Assistance: Continue to offer fee reductions to incentivize affordable housing. Specify the waiver of 100% of application processing fees in the Code for projects with 10% extremely low-income units. Residential Processing Procedures: Provide non-discretionary development review within the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan. Adopt streamlined review procedures for multi-family development on a citywide basis. Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. To address obstacles in meeting underserved needs, the City of Huntington Beach has developed and implemented a range of strategies, activities, and funding approaches to benefit its residents in the areas of housing and community development. Recognizing that inadequate funding is a significant barrier, the City has actively sought additional resources and explored alternative funding sources to enhance its ability to address these needs. By pursuing innovative and creative solutions, the City has worked to make its service delivery systems more comprehensive. This effort includes maintaining and expanding partnerships with both for-profit and non-profit organizations to leverage additional resources and expertise. The City has effectively utilized HOME and CDBG funds to focus on crucial areas such as affordable rental housing, tenant-based rental assistance, and homeowner rehabilitation programs. Federal funds have also been directed toward addressing specific housing needs, including improving availability, ensuring housing conditions meet standards, and promoting fair housing practices to prevent homelessness. In addition to housing, the City has allocated federal funds to community development projects, including infrastructure improvements, public facility enhancements, and code enforcement initiatives. Moreover, the City is collaborating with neighboring jurisdictions to adopt a regional 243 2024/25 CAPER 32 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) approach to addressing underserved needs, aiming to create a more coordinated and effective response to regional challenges. Through these comprehensive efforts, the City strives to overcome obstacles and better meet the needs of its underserved populations. Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. To protect children and families from lead poisoning, the City of Huntington Beach has implemented HUD's revised lead-based paint regulations, which focus on five key activities: Notification, Lead Hazard Evaluation, Lead Hazard Reduction, Ongoing Maintenance, and Response to Children with Environmental Intervention Blood Lead Levels. In accordance with HUD Lead-Based Paint Regulations (Title X), the City ensures that federally funded rehabilitation projects address lead hazards comprehensively. Lead-based paint abatement is an integral part of the City's Housing Rehabilitation Program and the Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Affordable Rental Housing Program. For units selected for rehabilitation within rental housing projects, lead testing is conducted unless the property is statutorily exempt. If lead is detected, appropriate elimination or encapsulation measures are taken, with costs covered either by the project developer or through CDBG or HOME funds, as suitable. To further reduce lead-based paint hazards in existing housing, all housing rehabilitation projects that receive federal funding are tested for lead and asbestos. If a lead-based paint hazard is identified, the City or its sub-grantee engages a lead consultant to carry out abatement or interim controls based on the consultant's findings. Tenants are informed about the test results and the clearance report. In the Section 8 program, County staff conduct annual inspections of both existing and newly available units. Defective paint surfaces must be repaired in all cases. For units occupied by households with children under six years of age, corrective actions will include testing and, if necessary, abatement, or abatement without prior testing, to ensure a safe living environment. Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. To address poverty and improve economic stability for families in Huntington Beach, the City has established several strategic objectives aimed at reducing poverty levels and enhancing economic opportunities. The primary goals are to reduce the number of f amilies dependent on welfare, decrease the need for housing subsidies, and increase economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income individuals. To expand employment opportunities, the City has two Business Improvement Districts and 244 2024/25 CAPER 33 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) an Economic Development Strategy, which are designed to attract and retain businesses, industries, and investments. Information on economic development opportunities is made available to the public through the City’s official website and the dedicated business portal, www.hbbiz.com . Moreover, the City’s Economic Development Division actively promotes job creation and economic growth, as outlined in the June 2017 Economic Development Implementation Plan and the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan for the City. The plans focus on retaining and creating jobs, as well as attracting new businesses and investments to Huntington Beach. The City is committed to complying with Section 3 of the Housing and Community Development Act, which mandates that, to the greatest extent possible, the City will provide job training, employment, and contracting opportunities to low- and very low-income residents in conjunction with housing and public construction projects. This compliance ensures that local economic development efforts also foster individual self-sufficiency and community advancement. Actions taken to develop institutional structure. As the recipient of federal CDBG, HOME, and HOME-ARP funds, the City delegated the Community Development Department to be the lead department responsible for the overall administration of HUD grants. In that regard, the Department prepared the Consolidated Plan and the Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, drafted the Annual Action Plan, CAPER, and HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, as well as all other reports required by federal rules and regulations. The City has worked with non-profit agencies, for-profit developers, advocacy groups, clubs, organizations, neighborhood leadership groups, City departments, the private sector, and other government entities to implement the City’s five-year strategy to address the priority needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2020/21 – 2024/25. Engaging the community and stakeholders in the delivery of services and programs for the benefit of low to moderate residents has been vital in overcoming gaps in service delivery. The City also utilized public notices, Community Workshops and Meetings (as appropriate), the City’s website, and other forms of media to deliver information on carrying out the Consolidated Plan strategies. Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 245 2024/25 CAPER 34 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) To address the needs of homeless individuals, low-income households, and families with special needs, the City of Huntington Beach continues to strengthen coordination between public agencies, private housing providers, and local service organizations. The City works collaboratively with internal departments—including Police, Library Services, Community Services, and Public Works—to deliver comprehensive support to residents. Partnerships with organizations such as American Family Housing, National CORE, Jamboree Housing Corporation, Habitat for Humanity, Interval House, Mercy House, Families Forward, Colette’s Children’s Home, AMCAL, Community SeniorServ, and Project Self-Sufficiency expand housing opportunities and supportive services. In addition, the City partners with the Fair Housing Foundation, Orange County Housing Authority, 2-1-1 Orange County, and OC Community Services (Orange County Continuum of Care) to coordinate resources and provide targeted assistance. Through these collaborations, the City is able to integrate housing, shelter, supportive services, and fair housing advocacy, ensuring that vulnerable populations are served in a more effective and coordinated manner. Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. In May 2020, Huntington Beach, along with 20 other Orange County cities, the County of Orange, and the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, developed the Orange County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. The AI outlined fair housing priorities and goals to overcome fair housing issues. In addition, the AI laid out meaningful strategies to be implemented to achieve progress towards the County’s obligation to affirmatively further fair housing. The 2020-2024 AI identified these goals: 1. Increase the supply of affordable housing in high opportunity areas. 2. Prevent displacement of low- and moderate-income residents with protected characteristics, including Hispanic residents, Vietnamese residents, seniors, and people with disabilities. 3. Increase community integration for persons with disabilities. 4. Ensure equal access to housing for persons with protected characteristics, who are disproportionately likely to be lower-income and to experience homelessness. 5. Expand access to opportunity for protected classes. To that end, in FY 2020/21, the City of Huntington Beach negotiated the terms of a 43-unit affordable housing development for seniors located at 18431 Beach Boulevard. The HB Senior Housing Project was completed in January 2025 and was a collaborative effort between the City and Jamboree Housing Corporation and the partnership sought to accomplish several of the goals listed above. The project increased the supply of affordable housing, integrated 246 2024/25 CAPER 35 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) persons with disabilities into the project, ensured equal access to housing for persons with protected characteristics (seniors), and expanded access to opportunity for protected classes. The City also invested nearly $3 million in tenant-based rental assistance using HOME funding since July 2020 and has prevented displacement of over 260 lower income Huntington Beach households to date. The City also ensured equal access to housing and expanded access to opportunities for persons with protected characteristics through the work of their contractor, the Fair Housing Foundation (FHF). The FHF provided the following services to affirmatively further fair housing: Landlord/Tenant Services In partnership with the Fair Housing Foundation (FHF), the City of Huntington Beach implemented a comprehensive fair housing program targeting tenants, landlords, property owners, realtors, and property management companies. This program focused on counseling these groups about their rights and responsibilities to identify and address potential fair housing violations. During FY 2024/25, FHF provided direct client services to 333 unduplicated households, with 42% of those served being classified as extremely low or low-income. A significant portion of the inquiries, approximately 86%, came from current tenants seeking guidance on issues such as habitability, rent increases, evictions, and notices. Furthermore, FHF actively investigated and responded to allegations of illegal housing discrimination. Of the seven discrimination claims received, four led to cases being opened for further investigation, while three were resolved. The majority of these allegations were related to familial status and source of income, highlighting a critical area of concern in fair housing enforcement. Education and Outreach Activities The FHF implemented a comprehensive and extensive education and outreach program aimed at raising awareness and understanding of fair housing laws among key stakeholders such as managers, tenants, landlords, owners, realtors, and property management companies. The program was designed to promote media and consumer interest and encourage grassroots involvement within the community. FHF specifically targeted their outreach efforts towards individuals and protected classes most likely to face housing discrimination. 247 2024/25 CAPER 36 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Throughout the year, FHF carried out a variety of activities to benefit residents of Huntington Beach. This included regular "All Area Activities" and specific initiatives focused solely on the Huntington Beach community. The Foundation actively participated in numerous community relations events, including engaging with four agencies to discuss fair housing, staffing two booths in collaboration with the Oak View Family Resource Center, attending nine community meetings, delivering five community presentations, hosting five workshops and walk-in clinics on fair housing, and distributing 4,000 pieces of literature throughout Huntington Beach. These efforts underscore FHF’s commitment to advancing fair housing practices and enhancing community education. Finally, the City worked to enhance access to services and housing for residents with limited English proficiency. For the federal CDBG program, the City offered to make public notices available in English and Spanish, and ensured translators were available at public meetings, if requested. 248 2024/25 CAPER 37 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CR-40 - Monitoring Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements. The City follows monitoring procedures for subrecipients, which includes a thorough in-house review of quarterly progress reports and expenditures, and an annual desk review or on-site visit to ensure compliance with federal regulations. The monitoring system encourages uniform reporting to achieve consistent information on beneficiaries. Technical assistance is provided throughout the program year on an as-needed basis. No formal monitoring of public service agreements was conducted in FY 2024/25; however, staff will pick up monitoring of subrecipients in early 2025/26. The City also performs project monitoring of all rent restricted affordable units assisted with HOME, CDBG, and t former Redevelopment Agency Housing Set-Aside Funds, and in accordance with 24 CFR 92.504 (d): • Annual audits for compliance with regulatory agreement affordability covenants; and • On site visits, which include property inspections of randomly selected units assisted with HOME, CDBG, and former Redevelopment Agency Housing Set- Aside Funds. In addition, the City encouraged minority business outreach in all of its federally assisted (CDBG and HOME) construction work in excess of $2,000. As part of the Notice Inviting Bid procedures, the City requires subrecipients undertaking improvements, reconstruction, or rehabilitation of community and private facilities, infrastructure projects, and affordable housing developments to make a good faith effort to hire women or minority-based businesses and to require equal employment opportunity for all individuals and business concerns. Citizen Participation Plan Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on performance reports. Pursuant to 24 CFR Part 91, the City solicited public review and comment on the draft 2024/25 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). A notice was published in The Wave on August 28, 2025, indicating a public review period from August 28, 2025, through September 16, 2025. The 2024/25 CAPER was available in hard copy at Huntington Beach City 249 2024/25 CAPER 38 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Hall and for public review on the City’s website at: http://www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/cdbg/. Copies were also available to be emailed or delivered via U.S. mail to interested persons. A public meeting to approve the plan will be held on September 16, 2025. 250 2024/25 CAPER 39 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CR-45 - CDBG Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction’s program objectives and indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its experiences. Between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, the City of Huntington Beach submitted two minor amendments to its FY 2024/25 Annual Action Plan. On August 7, 2024, the City submitted an amendment increasing the allocation for the Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants Program from $271,385 to $375,445, which raised the performance goal from 8 to 12 housing units. On October 16, 2024, a second amendment was processed to add $19,644 in unallocated funds to the Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans and Grants Program, bringing the total allocation to $395,089 and increasing the performance goal to 13 housing units. This amendment also allocated $76,882 in unallocated CDBG funds to the Mobile Home Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program, increasing its performance goal from 25 to 30 households, while the Housing Services for Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program goal was increased from 55 to 60 households. Does this Jurisdiction have any open Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI) grants? Not applicable. [BEDI grantees] Describe accomplishments and program outcomes during the last year. Not applicable. 251 2024/25 CAPER 40 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CR-50 - HOME Include the results of on-site inspections of affordable rental housing assisted under the program to determine compliance with housing codes and other applicable regulations. Huntington Beach monitors HOME-assisted affordable rental housing to determine compliance with HOME property standards set forth in 24 CFR 92.251 and with the Housing Quality Standards (“HQS”) found in 24 CFR 882.109. The City has partnered with several CHDOs and for-profit developers throughout the years to develop affordable housing including the Orange County Community Housing Corporation (OCCHC), Collette’s Children’s Home, Interval House, and Jamboree to name a few. In FY 2024/25, 8 HOME affordable housing projects encompassing 56 units total were sampled, monitored and inspected. Properties that were monitored and inspected include: • American Family Housing Barton II, 7802 Barton Drive, 2 units sampled – In Compliance as of June 10, 2025 • OCCHC – Keelson, 17372 Keelson Avenue, 2 units sampled – In Compliance as of June 10, 2025 • OCCHC – Koledo II, 17291 & 17351 Koledo Lane, 4 units sampled – In Compliance as of June 10, 2025 • OCCHC – Koledo III, 17401 & 17432 Koledo Lane, 2 units sampled – In Compliance as of June 10, 2025 • OCCHC – 11th Street, 313 11th Street, 4 units sampled – In Compliance as on June 13, 2025 • OCCHC – Koledo IV, 17411 & 17421 Koledo Lane, 4 units sampled – In Compliance as of June 13, 2025 • OCCHC – Koledo V, 17412 Koledo Lane, 2 units sampled – In Compliance as of June 13, 2025 • Collette’s Pacific Sun, 17452, 17462, and 17472 Keelson Avenue, 3 units sampled – In Compliance as of June 25, 2025 Provide an assessment of the jurisdiction's affirmative marketing actions for HOME units. For new construction and rehabilitation of rental project activities, the City requires the owner/developer to have an Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan prior to any lease-up activities occurring. During FY 2024/25, the City collected and monitored eight Affirmative Marketing and Tenant Selection Plans and all were in compliance with the affordable housing agreements and with the requirements at 24 CFR 200.620. Refer to IDIS reports to describe the amount and use of program income for projects, including 252 2024/25 CAPER 41 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) the number of projects and owner and tenant characteristics. Huntington Beach had a total of $113,198.13 in HOME program income in FY 2024/25 ($96,101.13 from prior year receipts, and $17,097 in new receipts), all of which is attributed to homeowner rehabilitation loan payoffs and residual receipts from affordable housing development projects. The City disbursed program income in the amount of $113,198.13 for the following activities: • $96,101.13 on IDIS #650 HOME Program Administration • $17,097 on IDIS #730 2022 Mercy House Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program (homeless, at risk of homelessness, victims of domestic violence, and veterans) Consistent with HUD regulations, the City drew down program income before requesting funds from the HOME letter of credit. Describe other actions taken to foster and maintain affordable housing. As part of its ongoing commitment to meeting housing needs and supporting vulnerable populations, the City of Huntington Beach has advanced several significant projects and partnerships in recent years. In the FY 2020/21 Annual Action Plan, the City alloca ted $2.8 million in HOME funds to support the development of a 43-unit senior affordable housing community located at 18431 Beach Boulevard. Developed in partnership with Jamboree Housing Corporation, the project created much-needed housing opportunities for older adults in Huntington Beach. Of the 43 units, nine were designated as HOME-restricted and made available to eligible senior households in FY 2024/25, ensuring long-term affordability for some of the city’s most vulnerable residents. In addition to new construction, the City worked collaboratively with the County of Orange, National CORE, and American Family Housing to address homelessness through the adaptive reuse of an existing property. Together, the partners repurposed the former Quality Inn & Suites at 17251 Beach Boulevard into the Huntington Beach Oasis, a non-congregate shelter designed to serve adult individuals and households experiencing homelessness within the Orange County Central Service Planning Area. The Oasis provided 62 interim housing units coupled with supportive services aimed at addressing residents’ complex needs and helping them transition toward stability. By May 2024, the facility had successfully transitioned into permanent housing, representing a major milestone in the city’s efforts to reduce homelessness through innovative housing solutions. 253 2024/25 CAPER 42 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Beyond development projects, the City has also expanded direct assistance programs to help residents maintain stable housing. In collaboration with Families Forward and Mercy House, Huntington Beach provided tenant-based rental assistance that supported 40 households within the city. Recognizing the particular financial challenges facing older residents, the City also launched a housing assistance program for income-eligible senior mobile homeowners. In FY 2024/25, this initiative provided space rent assistance to 22 senior households, offering meaningful relief to a population that often struggles with fixed incomes and rising housing costs. 254 2024/25 CAPER 43 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) CR-58 – Section 3 Identify the number of individuals assisted and the types of assistance provided.

The City Council voted unanimously in support of bringing the ordinance forward for consideration. Financial Impact: Not applicable. Recommended Action: Adopt Ordinance No. 4339, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Amending the Huntington Beach Municipal Code by Adding New Chapter 9.92 Thereof Prohibiting the Sale, Distribution and Possession of Kratom.” Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: Kratom is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia. Its leaves contain psychoactive compounds, including mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, which can produce stimulant effects at low doses and sedative effects at high doses. According to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Kratom use has been associated with a range of adverse health impacts, including psychotic symptoms, dependence, and numerous side effects such as nausea, vomiting, sweating, constipation, tachycardia, seizures, hallucinations, and hepatotoxicity. Although Kratom is often marketed for relief of pain, anxiety, opioid withdrawal, and fatigue, there are City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ 267 File #:25-725 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 Although Kratom is often marketed for relief of pain, anxiety, opioid withdrawal, and fatigue, there are no FDA-approved medical uses for the substance. The FDA continues to monitor reports of adverse events, and current data suggests Kratom’s opioid-like properties may expose users to risks of addiction, abuse, and dependence. Several states and local jurisdictions have prohibited the sale or possession of Kratom, including Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin, the City of San Diego (2016), Newport Beach (2025), and the County of Orange (2025). Kratom is not currently regulated at the federal level, nor is it prohibited statewide in California.

The proposed changes add a new restriction on non-motorized trailers and make the language clearer to ensure it can be better enforced. This addresses community concerns and meets operational needs. Financial Impact: There is no direct financial impact associated with the adoption of this ordinance. The amendment does not require a change to the existing parking bail schedule. Recommended Action: Adopt Ordinance No. 4338, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Section 10.44.060 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Relating to Oversized Vehicle Parking.” Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: Oversized vehicle parking remains a recurring issue in the City of Huntington Beach, particularly in residential neighborhoods where large vehicles and trailers can obstruct visibility, limit street access, and negatively impact neighborhood aesthetics. The existing language in Huntington Beach Municipal Code Section 10.44.060 restricts the parking of motor vehicles that exceed 22 feet in length or 84 inches in width, and prohibits recreational vehicles of any size, as defined by the California Health and Safety Code. However, the current ordinance language is not specific enough City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ 274 File #:25-726 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 California Health and Safety Code. However, the current ordinance language is not specific enough and has caused confusion among residents about which vehicles are actually restricted. Because the wording “over 84 inches wide” appears without being clearly linked to the 22-foot length standard, some have interpreted the code to mean that only vehicles both over 22 feet long and over 84 inches wide are prohibited. This has created a loophole that members of the public have used to dispute citations, particularly in cases involving vehicles that exceed one dimension limit but not the other. Additionally, the ordinance lacks specific provisions addressing non-motorized trailers, further complicating enforcement. Ordinance No. 4338 addresses these concerns by making two key updates to the existing code. First, Section A has been revised to clearly state that vehicles are restricted if they exceed either 22 feet in length or 84 inches in width, and to clarify how both dimensions are measured, specifying that length and width must be taken from the furthest or widest point of the vehicle, including any extensions or attachments. This clarification will ensure consistent enforcement and eliminate ambiguity about which vehicles qualify as oversized. Second, a new Section C has been added to prohibit the parking of any non-motorized trailer, regardless of size or whether it is attached to a vehicle. This addition aims to close a common enforcement gap and provide tools to manage the long-term storage of trailers, such as boat trailers and utility trailers. The revised ordinance maintains the City's flexibility to grant exemptions through HBMC Section 10.44.062 and 10.44.065, allowing residents to obtain temporary permits for oversized vehicles in certain cases, including loading and unloading, visitor accommodations, or short-term work or medical needs. Ordinance No. 4338 will take effect 30 days after adoption, in accordance with California Government Code Section 36937. 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. Strategic Plan Goal: Goal 8 - Public Safety, Strategy A - Community-wide comprehensive risk reduction program to optimize public safety's emergency response and reduce the number of calls.

D.APPEAL: On June 18, 2025, the project was appealed by Mayor Pat Burns citing that the proposed project was not compatible with the surrounding community. (Attachment No. 3). E.STAFF ANALYSIS: The June 10, 2025 Planning Commission staff report (Attachment No. 6) provides a more detailed description and analysis of the proposed project. Multiple homes in Huntington Harbour contain third story habitable areas and decks and vary in architectural style. The proposed project, as conditioned, will comply with applicable code requirements, including confining the third-floor habitable area within the second-story roof volume and the overall building height of 30 feet below the maximum height of 35 feet in the RL zone. In summary, the City Council may approve CUP No. 24-007 and CDP No. 24-005 based on the following reasons: 1. The proposed project complies with requirements of the base RL zoning district including parking, building setbacks, building height, lot coverage, and privacy design standards. 2. Huntington Harbour is developed with single story, 2-story and 3-story homes ranging in heightCity of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 3 of 4 powered by Legistar™ 283 File #:25-678 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 2. Huntington Harbour is developed with single story, 2-story and 3-story homes ranging in height up to 35-feet. 3. The proposed third-floor habitable space is designed within the confines of the second-story roof volume promoting compatibility with other multi-story homes in the area. 4. As required by code, the proposed third-floor balcony will be oriented toward the water and will be setback five feet from the building exterior. This code requirement provides privacy for abutting properties. 5. The project is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan Land Use Element designation of RL (Residential Low Density) as demonstrated in Attachment No. 1 including compatible development within surrounding neighborhoods. Environmental Status: CUP No. 24-007 and CDP No. 24-005 are categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 of the California Environmental Quality Act because the project consists of the construction of a new single-family residence in a residential zone.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 24-007: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 24-007 to demolish an existing 2,845 sq. ft., 13-ft. high single- story residence and construct a new 7,696 sq. ft., 3-story, 4-bedroom, single-family residence at an overall height of 30 ft., including a 715 sq. ft. two-car garage, 530 sq. ft. of second floor balconies, and a 110 sq. ft. 3rd floor balcony 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 the third floor space is designed to be confined within the second floor roof volume, which facilitates the structure’s resemblance to a two-story home with a mass and scale that is similar to the proportion and scale of homes in the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, the third- floor balcony is setback a minimum of five feet from the building exterior and is oriented towards the public right-of-way (water), which will minimize the visual mass and bulk of the structure and maintain privacy for abutting residences. 2. The granting of the Conditional Use Permit No. 24-007 to demolish an existing 2,845 sq. ft., 13-ft. high single-story residence and construct a new 7,696 sq. ft., 3-story, 4-bedroom, single-family residence at an overall height of 30 ft., including a 715 sq. ft. two-car garage, 530 sq. ft. of second floor balconies, and a 110 sq. ft. 3rd floor balcony will not adversely affect the General Plan because it is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of RL (Residential Low Density) on the subject property and with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: 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-1(A): 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-1(D): Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale, and character to complement adjoining uses. 285 Policy LU-4(D): Ensure that single-family residences are of compatible proportion, scale, and character to surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed project conforms with the requirements of the RL base zoning district including parking, building setbacks, building height, lot coverage, and privacy design standards. The proposed third-floor balcony will be oriented toward the rear (water) and will be setback five feet from the building exterior, ensuring privacy is maintained for abutting residences. 3. The proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 24-007 to demolish an existing 2,845 sq. ft., 13- ft. high single-story residence and construct a new 7,696 sq. ft., 3-story, 4-bedroom, single-family residence at an overall height of 30 ft., including a 715 sq. ft. two-car garage, 530 sq. ft. of second floor balconies, and a 110 sq. ft. 3rd floor balcony will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) because as conditioned, the project complies with parking, building setbacks, building height, lot coverage, and privacy design standards. In addition, the third-floor area is designed to be within the confines of the second story roof volume and the proposed third floor balcony will be set back five feet from the building façade, as required by the HBZSO. Third floor habitable area is permitted for all single-family dwellings in the RL zoning district with the approval of a conditional use permit. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 24-005: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 24-005 for the development project conforms with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program. The request to demolish an existing 2,845 sq. ft., 13-ft. high single-story residence and construct a new 7,696 sq. ft., 3-story, 4-bedroom, single-family residence at an overall height of 30 ft., including a 715 sq. ft. two-car garage, 530 sq. ft. of second floor balconies, and a 110 sq. ft. 3rd floor balcony conforms with the City’s Local Coastal Program, including Coastal Element Land Use Policy C 1.1.1 which encourages new development to locate within, contiguous to or in close proximity to existing developed areas able to accommodate it. The proposed development will occur entirely on a site previously occupied by a single-family residence, contiguous to properties also developed with single-family residential uses. 2. Coastal Development Permit No. 24-005 to demolish an existing 2,845 sq. ft., 13-ft. high single-story residence and construct a new 7,696 sq. ft., 3-story, 4-bedroom, single-family residence at an overall height of 30 ft., including a 715 sq. ft. two-car garage, 530 sq. ft. of second floor balconies, and a 110 sq. ft. 3rd floor balcony is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the base zoning district, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code because as conditioned, the project will comply with all applicable development regulations, including maximum building height, minimum yard setbacks, lot coverage, and privacy design standards. No code exceptions are requested as part of this project. 3. At the time of occupancy, the proposed development can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Local Coastal Program because Coastal Development Permit No. 24-005 to demolish an existing 2,845 sq. ft., 13-ft. high single- story residence and construct a new 7,696 sq. ft., 3-story, 4-bedroom, single-family 286 residence at an overall height of 30 ft., including a 715 sq. ft. two-car garage, 530 sq. ft. of second floor balconies, and a 110 sq. ft. 3rd floor balcony is located in an urbanized area with all necessary services and infrastructure available, including water, sewer, and roadways. 4. Coastal Development Permit No. 24-005 to demolish an existing 2,845 sq. ft., 13-ft. high single-story residence and construct a new 7,696 sq. ft., 3-story, 4-bedroom, single-family residence at an overall height of 30 ft., including a 715 sq. ft. two-car garage, 530 sq. ft. of second floor balconies, and a 110 sq. ft. 3rd floor balcony conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act in that the project will not impede public access, recreation, or views to coastal resources.

LOCATION: 16471 Malden Circle, 92649 (Gilbert Island in Huntington Harbour) APPELLANT:Bradley Bailey, 16481 Peale Ln., Huntington Beach, CA 92649 APPLICANT: Duc-Huy Huynh, 15551 Eden St. Westminster CA, 92683 PROPERTY OWNER: Benjamin Voong, 16471 Malden Cir., Huntington Beach, CA 92649 In considering this request, the Planning Commission may either uphold the Zoning Administrator’s decision (with or without modifications) or take an alternative action. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ACTION: A) Find the proposed project categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3; and B) Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 24-007 and Coastal Development Permit No. 24-005 with suggested findings and conditions of approval (Attachment No. 1) City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/5/2025Page 1 of 7 powered by Legistar™ 312 File #:25-265 MEETING DATE:6/10/2025 ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): A) Do not make the suggested findings, which will result in a mandatory denial per Section 241.10(C) and Section 245.30 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance; or B) Continue Conditional Use Permit No. 24-007 and Coastal Development Permit No. 24-005 and direct staff accordingly. PROJECT PROPOSAL: The project includes the following requests: Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 24-007/Coastal Development Permit (CDP) No. 24-005 - To demolish an existing 2,845 sq. ft., 13-ft. high single-story residence and construct a new 7,696 sq. ft. three-story single-family dwelling at a height of 30 ft., including a 715 sq. ft. two-car garage, 530 sq. ft. of second floor balconies, and a 110 sq. ft. third floor balcony. (Attachment No. 2) Zoning Administrator Action: The Zoning Administrator (ZA) held a public hearing on February 5, 2025, to consider the proposed project. The applicant/architect, Duc-Huy Huynh, and the property owner’s representative, Kevin Voong, were present to answer questions. There were two persons who spoke in opposition to the proposed project. An adjacent neighbor commented on the proposed size and height of the new residence, stating that the structure was not compatible with the sizes of existing homes in the neighborhood. He indicated the height of the structure would impact direct sunlight to his solar panels, and that there could be impacts to the sea wall from the new development (Attachment No. 4). Another neighbor testified his concerns with the size, height, design, and architecture of the project. He cited city’s land use policies that development projects be compatible in proportion, scale and character to complement adjoining uses. He didn’t believe the proposed residence was compatible with the neighborhood. Staff reported that the project was in compliance with all development standards for the RL (Residential Low Density) zoning designation, including maximum height, lot coverage, and minimum building setbacks. Staff further explained that the proposed third floor was designed within the confines of the second-floor roof volume with the third-floor balcony oriented towards the public right of way (channel). The conceptual plans had been routed to the Fire and Public Works Departments, and the Building Division for comments and, if approved, would be reviewed for compliance during the building plan check process. While the ZA agreed with staff’s findings, additional code requirements and conditions were included or modified for clarification: ·Maximum balcony cover projection of 30-inches; ·Minimum 5 ft. setback from 3rd floor balcony railing to 2nd floor building wall; ·Rooftop mechanical equipment shall be screened from public view; ·Any modification or new installation of 3 rd floor windows require review and approval by the Department of Community Development; ·The entablature (frieze/architrave/cornice) along the front elevation be enlarged in height; and ·Maximum 2 ft. differential between the highest adjacent curb and finished floor. With these modifications, the ZA approved the project with staff’s suggested findings and modified City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/5/2025Page 2 of 7 powered by Legistar™ 313 File #:25-265 MEETING DATE:6/10/2025 With these modifications, the ZA approved the project with staff’s suggested findings and modified conditions of approval (Attachment No. 3). Appeal: On February 20, 2025, following the ZA’s action, the project was appealed by Mr. Bradley Bailey, an adjacent property owner, citing the following reasons (Attachment No. 5): ·Safety concerns over the design of the proposed third floor deck ·Location of proposed air conditioning units adjacent to his property ·Architectural consistency and compatibility with the neighborhood ·Concerns over the structural integrity of the seawall ·Parking impacts ·Potential uses other than a single family residence ·Community opposition including petition opposing project In his appeal letter, the appellant extended an offer to meet with the applicant to discuss his concerns and potential solutions. Staff requested the applicant meet with the appellant to discuss concerns raised in his letter prior to the Planning Commission meeting. The applicant indicated that he made several attempts to contact the appellant by email, phone and in person with no success. The applicant also provided responses to each of the points made by the appellant which is included in Attachment No. 6. Staff had also attempted to contact the appellant to discuss the appeal process and to obtain a copy of a petition cited in his letter. On Thursday, April 17, 2025, staff received an email from the appellant with questions about the development process and information from the Zoning Administrator meeting. Staff responded to the appellant’s email by providing the requested information while inquiring about his availability for the Planning Commission meeting. Responses to the appeal are discussed below: ·Safety concerns over the design of the proposed third floor deck The proposed third floor deck complies with zoning code provisions with respect to height, location, and design. All construction must also comply with California Building Code standards. Any proposed third-story floor area, whether enclosed habitable space or as an open deck, is specifically regulated to avoid impacts to safety and privacy. ·Location of the proposed air conditioning units adjacent to his property The air conditioning units are proposed on the rooftop which will minimize noise impacts to adjacent properties. ·Architectural consistency and compatibility with the neighborhood There is a range of single story, two-story and three-story homes located in Huntington Harbour, many of which are located along the channel. The proposed three-story residence has been designed to conform to the City’s zoning ordinance. Specifically, the structure is designed to appear as a two-story structure with all third-floor habitable area within the confines of the roof volume. Exceptions for vertical projections include dormers and decks provided those features are setback a minimum of five feet from the exterior of the building and meet height requirements. Open decks and balconies must be oriented towards the public right of way. In this case, the proposed third floor deck City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/5/2025Page 3 of 7 powered by Legistar™ 314 File #:25-265 MEETING DATE:6/10/2025 is oriented toward the public channel. Gilbert and Admiralty Islands include a variety of single story to three-story homes that have a diverse range of architectural styles. The proposed 30-ft. height of the home is compatible with other two-story homes in the area that generally range from 25 to 30 feet. Although zoning allows up to a 35-ft. height limit, the proposed home is designed below the maximum height. ·Concerns over structural integrity of the seawall The proposed development will require the preparation of geotechnical/soils studies for review and approval by the City’s Building Division prior to issuance of building permits. This will include review of any potential impacts to the existing seawall as a result of the new development. ·Parking impacts The proposed 4-bedroom residence will comply with the city’s parking requirements by providing two enclosed parking spaces (garage) and two open spaces on the driveway. Although tandem spaces aren’t counted toward the parking requirement in this zoning district, the project will provide an additional tandem parking space in the garage for a total of five spaces on site. ·Potential uses other than a single-family residence There is no proposal to utilize the proposed property for anything other than a single- family residence. ·Community opposition including petition opposing project At the Zoning Administrator meeting, there were two persons who spoke in opposition to the project. As of the publishing of this report, no petition has been received by the City.

Policy LU-1(A):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-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. The proposed project complies with requirements of the base RL zoning district including parking, building setbacks, building height, lot coverage, and privacy design standards. Huntington Harbour is developed with single story, 2-story and 3-story homes ranging in height of up to 35-feet. This project proposes a 30 ft. height limit which will be compatible with other 2-story and 3-story homes in the area. The proposed third-floor habitable space is designed within the confines of the second-story roof volume ensuring compatibility with other multi-story homes in the area. As required by code, the proposed third-floor balcony will be oriented toward the water and will be setback five feet from the building exterior. This code requirement provides privacy for abutting properties. Zoning Compliance: The proposed project complies with the provisions in Titles 20-25 of the HBZSO including setbacks, building height, minimum landscape, privacy standards, and parking requirements as demonstrated in the table below: STANDARD REQUIRED PROPOSED Setbacks Front Side Rear Min. 15 ft. Min. 5 ft. Min. 10 ft. 20 ft. 5 ft. 27 ft. Lot Coverage (Building Footprint) Max. 50% of 7,741 sq. ft. 3,870 sq. ft. 49.9% 3,863 sq. ft. Building Height Max. 35 ft.30 ft.

Parking Min. 2 enclosed, 2 open 2 enclosed, 2 open Single-family residences with habitable living space above the second floor, including roof top decks, are subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Zoning Administrator. Within the RL zoning designation, residential projects that do not include improvements above the second floor are not subject to a CUP, do not need a public hearing, and may proceed directly to the building permit process. As detailed in the table above, the proposed single-family dwelling complies with minimum RL development standards but is subject to a CUP approval due to the proposed third floor. A Coastal Development Permit (CDP) is required for new construction on a waterfront lot. The subject property is approximately 7,741 sq. ft., slightly larger than the 5,000 to 6,000 sq. ft. typical lot size for single-family residences in the Huntington Harbour area. Homes in the City of Huntington Beach Printed on 6/5/2025Page 5 of 7 powered by Legistar™ 316 File #:25-265 MEETING DATE:6/10/2025 typical lot size for single-family residences in the Huntington Harbour area. Homes in the neighborhood vary between single-story, two-stories, and three-stories with a maximum height of 35 feet. The proposed three-story residence is consistent with residential developments that have been built throughout Huntington Harbour within the same zoning district. Although the allowable height in the RL district is limited to three stories at a maximum height of 35 ft., this project is proposed at a maximum height of 30 feet. As older properties redevelop, projects are typically designed to the fullest extent allowed by the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO). The new residence is consistent with the requirements of the zoning district and will be compatible with the area. The third-floor space is designed within the confines of the second-floor roof volume, which facilitates the structure’s resemblance to a two-story home. The 30-ft. building height and appearance of a two-story home is similar to the proportion and scale of two- and three-story homes in the area, some of which exceed 30 feet in height. Furthermore, the third-floor balcony is setback five feet from the building exterior and is oriented towards the rear (water), which will maintain privacy for abutting residences. Urban Design Guidelines Conformance: The proposed single-family residence is designed to convey a high level of quality and a character that incorporates quality materials and design such as stucco siding, stone veneer, and a slate tile roof which are consistent with the City of Huntington Beach Urban Design Guidelines. Although the applicant is proposing a three-story structure, the third story is designed within the confines of the second-story roof volume. The third-floor balcony is setback from the second story building façade to provide articulation and reduce massing. The balcony is designed centrally on the rear elevation and oriented toward the water to address the privacy of adjacent properties. Environmental Status: 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 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines because the project would develop a single-family residence within an existing urbanized residential zone. Coastal Status: The project involves the removal and replacement of a single-family residence that is located within the appealable area of the Coastal Zone. The proposed residence with third floor habitable area is subject to the requirements of HBZSO Chapter 245, and a Coastal Development Permit is required. Other Departments Concerns and Requirements: The Departments of Community Development, Fire, and Public Works have reviewed the project and identified a list of code requirements (Attachment No. 7) applicable to the project. Public Notification: Legal notice was published in the Huntington Beach Wave on May 29, 2025, and notices were sent to property owners of record and tenants within a 500 ft. radius of the subject property, individuals/organizations requesting notification (Planning Division’s Notification Matrix), applicant, and interested parties.

The Bailey Residence is directly adjacent to16471 Malden Circle, Huntington Beach (“Property”), the real property that is the subject of the City of Huntington Beach’s (“City”) Project No. 25-265 (“Project”). Mr. Bailey provides the following comments related to the appeal of the Zoning Administrator’s approval of Conditional Use Permit ("CUP") No. 24-007 and Coastal Development Permit ("CDP") No. 24-005 (“Approvals”). 1. The Project’s Macabre Mansionization of Huntington Harbor’s Unique Residential Development Character Conflicts with the City’s General Plan. The purpose of zoning and land use regulations/development standards is to function similarly to contracts, wherein property owners forego certain rights to use their land as they wish in exchange for the assurance that neighboring properties will be similarly restricted. This mutual restriction on development is intended to enhance the total welfare of the community itself. (Stolman v. City of Los Angeles (2003) 114 Cal.App.4th 916, 923.) Here, the proposed Project seeks to invalidate that social contract. 360 Planning Commission June 10, 2025 Page 2 Las Vegas | Newport Beach | Walnut Creek newmeyerdillion.com The Project’s design, massing, and height are in direct conflict with multiple aspects of the City’s General Plan. Indeed, the General Plan’s Land Use Element identifies multiple goals to be followed when applicants seek to develop or redevelop their properties. For example, Goal LU-1 of the City’s Land Use Element ensures that, “[n]ew commercial, industrial, and residential development is coordinated to ensure that the land use pattern is consistent with the overall goal and needs of the community.” Further, LU-1, Policy D, requires the City to, “ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale, and character to complement adjoining uses.” Land Use Goal LU-2 requires that, “New development preserves and enhances a distinct Surf City identity, culture, and character in neighborhoods, corridors and centers.” In this regard, the City must ensure new development complies with these goals by requiring building design and architecture be context-sensitive, creative, complementary of the City’s beach culture, and compatible with surrounding development. (City’s Land Use Element, p. 2-33, Goal LU-2, Policy C.) Finally, Goal LU-4 requires that the City ensure single-family residences are of compatible proportion, scale, and character to surrounding neighborhoods. (Id., p. 2-34, Goal LU-4, Policy D.) The current existing home on the Property includes a 2,845 square foot, 13-foot high, single-story residence. The Project proposes a complete scrape and rebuild (new development) to a large, three-story mansion, thirty-five feet in height, and approximately 275 percent larger than the current residence (7,696 square feet). The building would encompass almost the entire area of the lot, with only minimal setbacks from the adjoining properties (including the Bailey Residence). In other words, the new building will stand as out as a monolith, towering over all other properties in the area. To call this Project a, “demolition and rebuild,” is an understatement. Instead, the Project would accomplish a complete redesign of the neighborhood’s character. Currently, the nearby neighborhood consists of one/two-story coastal homes with direct access to the Huntington Harbor. This Project runs roughshod through that character, which was built throughout the years on the collaborative efforts of numerous prior and existing owners. The Applicant’s Project changes that character to the detriment of those they will share space with – their neighbors. In addition, the Project proposes a thirty-foot Victorian-style roof (totaling thirty- five feet in height with the various AC-units and decorative additions), with immense open windows reminiscent of the Notre Dame, and two 23-foot tall Corinthian-style Roman columns parallelling the large front glass door. For the back of the Property, the Project proposes three-story glass windows with metal balconies that overhang the main structure and cover the width of the entire building. The entire size, scale and mass of the Project is completely out of touch with other single-family homes within the 361 Planning Commission June 10, 2025 Page 3 Las Vegas | Newport Beach | Walnut Creek newmeyerdillion.com neighborhood. Simply put, granting the Approvals would not maintain neighborhood compatibility and negatively affect neighboring properties by decreasing light and ventilation (air) between structures and increase building bulk and massing to the detriment of the entire community. The Project must be redesigned. Following client discussion with former and current City officials, they are fully aware of the issues the community faces from this Project and share many of the concerns identified herein. 2. The Project’s Constitutes an Invasion of Privacy By Increasing Noise and Effecting the Quiet Enjoyment of the Surrounding Community. The Project includes three five-ton AC units located on top of the building, directly adjacent to the Baily Residence’s master bedroom. The AC units will substantially increase the noise output at the Property, and will immediately affect all adjacent properties owners whenever used. Further, the Project also calls for an elevator shaft and expansive, round windows which point directly to the Bailey Residence’s courtyard. Direct sight access of this magnitude and at that height, when compared to the surrounding properties, constitutes an invasion of privacy. Finally, the Project’s three-story glass wall and large metal balconies on the second and third floors expand the width of the building to the property’s lot lines. The balconies effectively loom over the neighboring properties, establishing an oppressive presence over the adjoining properties and directly affect the quiet enjoyment (impacts to light, air and view) of those properties. 3. The Project’s Size and Safety Threats Require Further Investigation and Environmental Review. Adding a structure nearly three times the size of the current building, prompts the need for a full analysis of the structural integrity of the surrounding area, including the Huntington Harbor’s seawall. Notably, the Huntington Harbor recently received a “D” rating by the City on its Infrastructure Report Card. (See, City Council Public Hearing, January 21, 2025, HB Report Card Study Session PowerPoint, p. 5.) Here, the Project’s additional mass and weight puts a strain on an already dilapidated infrastructure. The City’s proposed conditional approvals do not require the Applicant to reinforce the seawall or update the foundation to ensure the structural integrity of the land. This places the Property (and any homes adjacent thereto) at the potential danger of collapse. Proper analysis of the Project’s effect(s) on the environment and neighboring properties must be analyzed by and through proper environmental review as set forth in 362 Planning Commission June 10, 2025 Page 4 Las Vegas | Newport Beach | Walnut Creek newmeyerdillion.com the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000, et seq.) (“CEQA”). Instead of performing the required analysis, the City has permitted the Applicant to avoid the same by claiming the Project holds a Class 3 Exemption pursuant to Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines. However, this exemption is not applicable where there is a reasonable probability that the Project will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. (North Coast Rivers Alliance v. Westlands Water District (2014) 227 Cal.App.4th 832, 868, citing 14 CCR § 15300.2.) An unusual circumstance is “some feature of the project that distinguishes it from others in the exempt class.” (Ibid.) As the Project is not proposed on flat land but on the water with substantial modifications, a higher level of due diligence and review is necessary. Moreover, the Project falls within the City’s Coastal Zone, prompting further analysis as to the Project's impact on the ocean and seawall. The City’s review of the Project provides no such analysis to determine whether further review and analysis is required. Certainly, additional loads on a specific area of dilapidated infrastructure (i.e. an unusual circumstance) establish potential significant effects on the environment prompting further analysis pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2. (Id., p. 869, “What is ‘unusual’ is ‘judged relative to the typical circumstances relates to an otherwise typically exempt project.”) 4. Conclusion. Therefore, Mr. Panebianco and Mr. Bailey respectfully request that the Planning Commission grant the appeal/overturn the Approvals for the Project and require the Applicant to provide a plan that conforms with the neighboring community’s characteristics, remains code-compliant, and fully analyzes the potential risks of the Project’s effect(s) on the environment. Should the Planning Commission deny the appeal, Mr. Panebianco and Mr. Bailey fully intend to appeal this issue to the City Council and Coastal Commission, as necessary. Mr. Panebianco and Mr. Bailey reserve the right to amend and supplement these comments up and until the decision on the Project’s Approvals are final. Should you have any questions regarding the items set forth in this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 1 of 4 powered by Legistar™ 381 File #:25-679 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 Analysis: A.PROJECT PROPOSAL: Applicant: ANHA Studio, 13472 Jessica Dr., Garden Grove, CA 92843 Location: 16482 Somerset Lane, 92649 (Gilbert Island in Huntington Harbour) Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 24-032 and Coastal Development Permit (CDP) No. 24-036 - to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story single-family dwelling at a height of 35 ft. with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. B.BACKGROUND: The project was initially considered at the May 21, 2025 Zoning Administrator meeting. Following a public hearing, the project was approved with conditions (Attachment No. 7). The Zoning Administrator’s action was appealed to the Planning Commission by Mayor Pat Burns. A Planning Commission meeting to hear the appeal was scheduled for July 8, 2025. C.PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND RECOMMENDATION: On July 8, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the project. There was one speaker in support of the item (Attachment No. 4). Planning Commission Action on July 8, 2025: A MOTION WAS MADE BY BUSH, SECONDED BY MCGEE, TO FIND THE PROPOSED PROJECT CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO SECTION 15303, CLASS 3; AND APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 24- 032 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 24-036 WITH SUGGESTED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Babineau, Bush, McGee NOES:Pellman, Thienes, Palmer ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None MOTION FAILED As a result of the tied vote, the Zoning Administrator’s approval was upheld. D.APPEAL: On May 29, 2025, Mayor Pat Burns appealed the project citing that the proposed home is not compatible in proportion and/or scale to the surrounding neighborhood and that the proposed structure is not consistent with General Plan Land Use Policy LU-4 (D) (Attachment No. 3). E.STAFF ANALYSIS: The July 8, 2025 Planning Commission staff report (Attachment No. 6) provides a more detailed City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 2 of 4 powered by Legistar™ 382 File #:25-679 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 The July 8, 2025 Planning Commission staff report (Attachment No. 6) provides a more detailed description and analysis of the proposed project. Lot sizes and homes in Huntington Harbour are generally larger than typical single-family residential lots. Three-story homes are also prevalent within the vicinity of the subject site. The proposed project, as conditioned, will be consistent with existing single-family homes in the neighborhood and comply with applicable code requirements, including confining the third floor habitable area within the second-story roof volume. In summary, the City Council may approve CUP No. 24-032 and CDP No. 24-036 based on the following reasons: 1. The proposed project complies with requirements of the base RL zoning district including parking, building setbacks, building height, lot coverage, and privacy design standards. 2. Huntington Harbour is developed with single story, 2-story and 3-story homes ranging in height up to 35-feet. 3. The proposed third-floor habitable space is designed within the confines of the second-story roof volume promoting compatibility with other multi-story homes in the area. 4. As required by code, the proposed third-floor balcony decks will be oriented toward the public street and channel and will be setback five feet from the building exterior. This code requirement provides privacy for abutting properties. 5. The project is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan Land Use Element designation of RL (Residential Low Density) as demonstrated in Attachment No. 1. The proposed home is compatible with the existing surrounding uses in proportion, scale, and character. Environmental Status: CUP No. 24-032 and CDP No. 24-036 are categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 of the California Environmental Quality Act because the project consists of construction of a new single-family residence in a residential zone.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 24-032: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 24-032 to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story, single-family residence at a height of 35 ft., with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd-floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd-floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. 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 the third floor space is designed to be confined within the second floor volume, which facilitates the structure’s resemblance to a two-story home with a mass and scale that is similar to the proportion and scale of homes in the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, the third-floor balconies are setback a minimum of five feet from the building exterior and are oriented toward the public right-of-way, which will minimize the visual mass and bulk of the structure and maintain privacy for abutting residences. 2. The granting of the Conditional Use Permit No. 24-032 to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story, single-family residence at a height of 35 ft., with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd-floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd-floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. will not adversely affect the General Plan because it is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of RL (Residential Low Density) on the subject property and with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: 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-1(A): 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-1(D): Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale, and character to complement adjoining uses. 385 Policy LU-4(D): Ensure that single-family residences are of compatible proportion, scale, and character to surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed project conforms with the requirements of t he RL base zoning district including parking, building setbacks, building height, lot coverage, and privacy design standards. The proposed third-floor balconies will be oriented toward the front (street) and rear (water) and will be setback a minimum of five feet from the building exterior, ensuring privacy is maintained for abutting residences. The proposed 35-ft. building height is similar to the height of the homes on abutting properties. 3. The proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 24-032 to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story, single-family residence at a height of 35 ft., with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd-floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd-floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) because as conditioned, the project complies with parking, building setbacks, building height, lot coverage, and privacy design standards. In addition, the third-floor habitable area is designed to be within the confines of the second story roof volume and the proposed third floor balconies will be setback five feet from the building façade, as required by the HBZSO. Third floor habitable area is permitted for all single- family dwellings in the RL zoning district with the approval of a conditional use permit. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 24-036: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 24-036 for the development project conforms with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program. The request to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story, single-family residence at a height of 35 ft., with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd-floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd-floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. conforms with the City’s Local Coastal Program, including Coastal Element Land Use Policy C 1.1.1 which encourages new development to locate within, contiguous to or in close proximity to existing developed areas able to accommodate it. The proposed development will occur entirely on a site previously occupied by a single-family residence, contiguous to properties also developed with single-family residential uses at similar building heights. 2. Coastal Development Permit No. 24-036 to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story, single-family residence at a height of 35 ft., with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd-floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd-floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the base zoning district, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code because as conditioned, the project will comply with all applicable development regulations, including maximum building height, minimum yard setbacks, lot coverage, and privacy design standards. No code exceptions are requested as part of this project. 3. At the time of occupancy, the proposed development can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Local Coastal Program because Coastal Development Permit No. 24-036 to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story, single-family residence at a height of 35 ft., with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3- car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd-floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd-floor balconies totaling 166 sq. 386 ft. is located in an urbanized area with all necessary services and infrastructure available, including water, sewer, and roadways. 4.

LOCATION: 16482 Somerset Lane, 92649 (Gilbert Island in Huntington Harbour) RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Planning Commission take the following actions: A) Find the proposed project categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3; and B) Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 24-032 and Coastal Development Permit No. 24-036 with suggested findings and conditions of approval (Attachment No. 1) The Commission made the following disclosures: • Commissioner McGee spoke with Vice-Chair Bush. • Vice-Chair Bush spoke with Commissioner McGee, Chair Thienes, and Councilmember Williams. • Chair Thienes spoke with Commissioners McGee and Bush and Mayor Burns. • Commissioner Babineau spoke to Councilmember Twining and visited the site. • Commissioner Palmer visited the site. MINUTES HUNTINGTON BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION TUESDAY, JULY 8, 2025 HUNTINGTON BEACH CIVIC CENTER 2000 MAIN STREET, HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA 92648 405 PC Minutes July 8, 2025 Page 2 25pcm0708 • Commissioner Pellman spoke with staff and Chair Thienes. Wayne Carvalho, Contract Planner, gave the staff presentation for the proposed project. There was lengthy discussion regarding the following: the definition of adjacent uses, the floor area ratio for the proposed project, the potential for seawall failure, ownership of the seawall, the geotechnical and soils studies required before building permit approval, lot coverage versus floor area ratio, and the impacts of building materials on the seawall. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Tim Branoff, resident, spoke in support of Item No. 25-516, citing the comparable size of adjacent houses. Mr. Branoff indicated that the seawall is not maintained or owned by the Homeowner’s Association. WITH NO ONE PRESENT TO SPEAK, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. There was lengthy discussion on the following items: the geotechnical studies required prior to finalizing a building permit, the proposed massing, neighborhood compatibility, potential infrastructure impacts, the intent of the code restrictions regarding habitable third floors in residential low density, and the Coastal Commission appeal process. A MOTION WAS MADE BY BUSH, SECONDED BY MCGEE, TO FIND THE PROPOSED PROJECT CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO SECTION 15303, CLASS 3; AND APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 24-032 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 24-036 WITH SUGGESTED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Babineau, Bush, McGee NOES: Pellman, Thienes, Palmer ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None MOTION FAILED As a result of the tied vote, the Zoning Administrator’s approval was upheld. 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 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines because the project consists of the construction of a single-family residence within a residential zone. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 24-032: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 24-032 to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story, single-family residence at a height of 35 ft., with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd-floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd-floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. will not 406 PC Minutes July 8, 2025 Page 3 25pcm0708 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 the third floor space is designed to be confined within the second floor volume, which facilitates the structure’s resemblance to a two-story home with a mass and scale that is similar to the proportion and scale of homes in the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, the third-floor balconies are setback a minimum of five feet from the building exterior and are oriented toward the public right-of-way, which will minimize the visual mass and bulk of the structure and maintain privacy for abutting residences. 2. The granting of the Conditional Use Permit No. 24-032 to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story, single-family residence at a height of 35 ft., with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd-floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd-floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. will not adversely affect the General Plan because it is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of RL (Residential Low Density) on the subject property and with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: 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-1(A): 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-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. The proposed project conforms with the requirements of the RL base zoning district including parking, building setbacks, building height, lot coverage, and privacy design standards. The proposed third-floor balconies will be oriented toward the front (street) and rear (water) and will be setback a minimum of five feet from the building exterior, ensuring privacy is maintained for abutting residences. The proposed 35-ft. building height is similar to the height of the homes on abutting properties, including the adjacent three-story home that is 35 feet in height. 3. The proposed Conditional Use Permit No. 24-032 to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story, single-family residence at a height of 35 ft., with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd-floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd-floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) because as conditioned, the project complies with parking, building setbacks, building height, lot coverage, and privacy design standards. In addition, the third-floor habitable area is designed to be within the confines of the second story roof volume and the proposed third floor balconies will be setback five feet from the building façade, as required by the HBZSO. Third floor habitable area is permitted for all single-family dwellings in the RL zoning district with the approval of a conditional use permit. 407 PC Minutes July 8, 2025 Page 4 25pcm0708 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 24-036: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 24-036 for the development project conforms with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program. The request to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story, single-family residence at a height of 35 ft., with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd-floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd-floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. conforms with the City’s Local Coastal Program, including Coastal Element Land Use Policy C 1.1.1 which encourages new development to locate within, contiguous to or in close proximity to existing developed areas able to accommodate it. The proposed development will occur entirely on a site previously occupied by a single- family residence, contiguous to properties also developed with single-family residential uses at similar building heights. 2. Coastal Development Permit No. 24-036 to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story, single-family residence at a height of 35 ft., with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd-floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd-floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the base zoning district, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code because as conditioned, the project will comply with all applicable development regulations, including maximum building height, minimum yard setbacks, lot coverage, and privacy design standards. No code exceptions are requested as part of this project. 3. At the time of occupancy, the proposed development can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Local Coastal Program because Coastal Development Permit No. 24-036 to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story, single-family residence at a height of 35 ft., with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd-floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd-floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. is located in an urbanized area with all necessary services and infrastructure available, including water, sewer, and roadways. 4. Coastal Development Permit No. 24-036 to demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story, single-family residence at a height of 35 ft., with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd-floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd-floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act in that the project will not impede public access, recreation, or views to coastal resources.

PROJECT PROPOSAL: The project includes the following requests: Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 24-032/Coastal Development Permit (CDP) No. 24-036 - To demolish an existing residence and construct a 7,392 sq. ft., 3-story single-family dwelling at a height of 35 ft. with an attached 682 sq. ft. 3-car garage, a 35 sq. ft. 2nd floor balcony, and two (2) 3rd floor balconies totaling 166 sq. ft. (Attachment No. 2) Zoning Administrator Action: The Zoning Administrator (ZA) held a public hearing on May 21, 2025, to consider the proposed project. The applicant/architect, An Ha, and the property owner’s representative, Kyle Tran, were present to answer questions. There was one person who spoke in opposition to the proposed project. An adjacent neighbor commented on the proposed height of the new residence, stating that the height may impact his solar panels. He also inquired about the potential design of fencing and a rolling vehicular access gate along the front property line, requesting that the project not be designed as a compound (Attachment No. 4). Staff reported that the project was in compliance with all development standards for the RL (Residential Low Density) zoning designation, including maximum height, lot coverage, and minimum building setbacks. Staff further explained that the proposed third floor was designed within the confines of the second-floor roof volume with the third-floor balconies oriented toward the public right of way (street/channel). There was no proposal for walls, fencing, or gates along the front property line with the request. The conceptual plans had been routed to the Fire and Public Works Departments, and the Building Division for comments and, if approved, would be reviewed for compliance during the building plan check process. While the ZA agreed with staff’s findings, an additional condition was included: ·All windows shall be proportional in size, alignment, and symmetry along the front elevation of the third floor. With this added condition, the ZA approved the project with staff’s suggested findings and modified conditions of approval (Attachment No. 3). Appeal: On May 29, 2025, following the ZA’s action, the project was appealed by Mayor Pat Burns citing that the house was out of scale with the neighborhood, and that the proposed structure was not consistent with General Plan Land Use Policy LU-4 (D) in that it was not compatible in proportion and/or scale to the surrounding neighborhood. (Attachment No. 5) Architectural consistency and compatibility with the neighborhood There is a range of single story, two-story and three-story homes located in Huntington Harbour, City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/2/2025Page 2 of 6 powered by Legistar™ 425 File #:25-516 MEETING DATE:7/8/2025 There is a range of single story, two-story and three-story homes located in Huntington Harbour, many of which are located along the channel. The proposed three-story residence has been designed to conform to the City’s zoning ordinance. Specifically, the structure is designed to appear as a two-story structure with all third-floor habitable area within the confines of the roof volume. Exceptions for vertical projections include dormers and decks provided those features are setback a minimum of five feet from the exterior of the building and meet height requirements. Open decks and balconies must be oriented towards the public right of way. In this case, the proposed third floor decks are oriented toward the street and channel. On a historical note, the City Council adopted an ordinance in 1992 to regulate third-story design applicable to single-family homes in low density residential districts. Between 1986 and 1992, the zoning code permitted 3 stories without design limitations subject to approval of a CUP by the Planning Commission. Before 1986, third story construction was permitted by right provided the overall height did not exceed 30 feet. Prior to adoption of the 3 rd story ordinance in 1992, a Harbor Code Committee was created by the City Council to review 3-story construction in Huntington Harbour. The focus of the committee was to review design requirements taking into account issues of compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. The committee ultimately determined not to prohibit 3 rd stories, but allow them subject to restrictions on size, design and interior use. Such restrictions were intended to minimize the obtrusiveness of third stories and maximize compatibility with surrounding one- and two-story homes. These provisions are incorporated in the current zoning code and the project complies with them. Gilbert and Admiralty Islands include a variety of single story to three-story homes that have a diverse range of architectural styles. The proposed height of the home is compatible with other two and three-story homes in the area that generally range from 25 to 35 feet. Note that the adjacent property directly southeast is occupied with an approximate 6,300 sq. ft., 35 ft. high, 3-story home. The adjacent property directly northwest had a CDP and CUP previously approved in 2002 for a 7,054 sq. ft., 34’-9” high, 3-story home. However, the third story addition on that project was never constructed. ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Subject Property and Surrounding General Plan Designations, Zoning and Land Uses: LOCATION GENERAL PLAN ZONING LAND USE Subject Property:RL (Residential Low Density) RL-CZ (Residential Low Density - Coastal Zone Overlay) Residential North, South, East (across Huntington Harbour), and West (across Somerset Ln.) of Subject Property: RL RL-CZ Residential City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/2/2025Page 3 of 6 powered by Legistar™ 426 File #:25-516 MEETING DATE:7/8/2025 General Plan Conformance: The project is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of RL (Residential Low Density) on the subject property and with the following goal and policies of the General Plan: 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(A):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-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. The proposed project complies with requirements of the base RL zoning district including parking, building setbacks, building height, lot coverage, and privacy design standards. Huntington Harbour is developed with single story, 2-story and 3-story homes ranging in height of up to 35-feet. This project proposes a 35 ft. height limit which will be compatible with other 2-story and 3-story homes in the area. The proposed third-floor habitable space is designed within the confines of the second-story roof volume ensuring compatibility with other multi-story homes in the area including those directly adjacent to the subject property. As required by code, the proposed third-floor balcony decks will be oriented toward the public street and channel and will be setback a minimum of five feet from the building exterior. This code requirement provides privacy for abutting properties. Zoning Compliance: The proposed project complies with the provisions in Titles 20-25 of the HBZSO including setbacks, building height, minimum landscape, privacy standards, and parking requirements as demonstrated in the table below: STANDARD REQUIRED PROPOSED Setbacks Front Side Rear Garage Min. 15 ft.

Within the RL zoning designation, residential projects that do not include City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/2/2025Page 4 of 6 powered by Legistar™ 427 File #:25-516 MEETING DATE:7/8/2025 the Zoning Administrator. Within the RL zoning designation, residential projects that do not include improvements above the second floor are not subject to a CUP, do not need a public hearing, and may proceed directly to the building permit process. As detailed in the table above, the proposed single-family dwelling complies with minimum RL development standards but is subject to CUP approval due to the proposed third floor. A Coastal Development Permit (CDP) is required for new construction on a waterfront lot. The subject property is approximately 7,215 sq. ft., slightly larger than the typical 5,000 to 6,000 sq. ft. lots for single-family homes in Huntington Harbour. Homes in the neighborhood vary between single-story, two-stories, and three-stories with a maximum height of 35 feet. The proposed three- story residence is consistent with residential developments that have been built throughout Huntington Harbour within the same zoning district. As older properties redevelop, projects are typically designed to the fullest extent allowed by the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO). The new residence is consistent with the requirements of the zoning district and will be compatible with the area. The third-floor space is designed within the confines of the second-floor roof volume, which facilitates the structure’s resemblance to a two-story home. The 35-ft. building height and appearance of a two-story home is similar to the proportion and scale of two- and three-story homes in the area. Furthermore, the third- floor balcony decks are setback five feet from the building exterior and are oriented towards the front (street) and rear (channel), which will maintain privacy for abutting residences. Urban Design Guidelines Conformance: The proposed single-family residence is designed to convey a high level of quality and a character that incorporates quality materials and design such as stucco siding, tempered glass railings, and a standing seam metal roof which are consistent with the City of Huntington Beach Urban Design Guidelines. Although the applicant is proposing a three-story structure, the third story is designed within the confines of the second-story roof volume. The third-floor balconies are setback from the second story building exterior to provide articulation and reduce massing. Environmental Status: 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 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines because the project would develop a single-family residence within an existing urbanized residential zone. Coastal Status: The project involves the removal and replacement of a single-family residence that is located within the appealable area of the Coastal Zone. The proposed residence with third floor habitable area is subject to the requirements of HBZSO Chapter 245, and a Coastal Development Permit is required. Other Departments Concerns and Requirements: The Departments of Community Development, Fire, and Public Works have reviewed the project and identified a list of code requirements (Attachment No. 6) applicable to the project. Public Notification: Legal notice was published in the Huntington Beach Wave on June 26, 2025, and notices were sent to property owners of record and tenants within a 500 ft. radius of the subject property, individuals/organizations requesting notification (Planning Division’s Notification Matrix), applicant,City of Huntington Beach Printed on 7/2/2025Page 5 of 6 powered by Legistar™ 428 File #:25-516 MEETING DATE:7/8/2025 individuals/organizations requesting notification (Planning Division’s Notification Matrix), applicant, and interested parties.

Analysis: A.PROJECT PROPOSAL: ZTA No. 25-003 represents a request to amend Section 230.28 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) to strengthen enforcement against unlawful group homes to protect residential neighborhoods and the residents of these facilities. Specifically, the amendment establishes a five-year prohibition on applying or reapplying for a Special Use Permit or Conditional Use Permit for any group home found to be operating in violation of applicable laws or zoning regulations. There is also an accompanying amendment to incorporate the same provisions into the Municipal Code. B.BACKGROUND: On July 20, 2020, the City Council adopted the Group Homes Ordinance amending the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) and the Municipal Code (HBMC) to establish regulations for group homes, sober living homes and residential care facilities. Since the adoption of the Ordinances, there have been sober living facilities that are either operating without the required permits or are in violation of the conditions of approval outlined in their permit. To ensure greater accountability among sober living facilities, the City Council directed staff (Attachment No. 6) to draft an amendment to the HBZSO and the HBMC to prevent group homes from applying or reapplying for a permit for five years once they have been found to be operating unlawfully. C.PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND RECOMMENDATION: On August 26, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the ZTA. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request to the City Council. Planning Commission Action on August 26, 2025: A motion was made by Goldberg, seconded by Palmer, to recommend to the City Council approval of ZTA No. 25-003 carried by the following vote: AYES: Thienes, Goldberg, Pellman, Palmer, Bush, Babineau, McGee NOES: None ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: None MOTION PASSED D. STAFF ANALYSIS: The August 26, 2025, Planning Commission staff report provides a more detailed description and analysis of the proposed ZTA (Attachment No. 7). During the meeting, the Planning Commission also approved a minute action to forward additional buffer recommendations for sober living facilities to the City Council for consideration, which was provided to the City Council via a separate memorandum. In summary, staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of ZTA No. 25- City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™ 468 File #:25-708 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 003 based on the following reasons: 1. It updates the HBZSO to prevent unlawful operators; 2. Addresses community need to further protect neighborhoods from operators in violation of the ordinance; and 3. Is consistent with General Plan goals and policies. Approval of the associated Municipal Code amendment would correspond and be consistent with the Zoning Code amendment. Environmental Status: ZTA No. 25-003 and amendment to Municipal Code Chapter 5.110 are 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; and Section 15061 (b)(3) (General Rule) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the amendments to the HBMC will have a significant effect on the environment.

SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 25-003: 1. Zoning Text Amendment No. 25-003 is to amend Section 230.28 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance by introducing additional requirements for Sober Living Homes and Group Homes operating in violation of their permit or without proper permits. The proposed zoning text amendment is consistent with the policies of the City’s General Plan including: Land Use Element: Policy LU-2(D): Maintain and protect residential neighborhoods by avoiding encroachment of incompatible land uses. Housing Element: Policy H-1.1: Preserve the character, scale, and quality of established residential neighborhoods. The proposed ZTA introduces language to Section 230.28 to strengthen enforcement against unlawful group homes to protect residential neighborhoods and the residents of these facilities. Specifically, the amendment establishes a five-year prohibition on applying or reapplying for a Special Use Permit or Conditional Use Permit for any group home found to be operating in violation of applicable laws or zoning regulations. Additionally, the amendment defines all categories of group home operators — including owners, operators, individuals, corporations, and landowners — to prevent circumvention of the five-year restriction through changes in ownership or management structure. 2. In the case of a general land use provision, ZTA No. 25-003 is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the standards prescribed for the zoning district for which it is proposed because the proposed amendment further strengthens the ordinance to prevent the operation of illegal and unsafe Sober Living Homes and Group Homes in single- family residential neighborhoods by operators and owners who have illegally operated in the past. 3. A community need is demonstrated for the changes proposed in that the City of Huntington 470 Beach has experienced a rise in the number of unlicensed and unpermitted Group Homes including Sober Living Homes within single family residential neighborhoods. The operation of these unlicensed and unpermitted homes is illegal. The proposed ZTA No. 25-003 seeks to strengthen the enforcement requirements for unlawful Group Home and Sober Living Home operations. 4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice. The amendment will result in the City’s ability to strengthen enforcement against unlawful Group Homes and Sober Living Homes by establishing a five-year prohibition on applying or reapplying for a Special Use Permit or Conditional Use Permit for any Group Home and Sober Living Home found to be operating in violation of their permit or the HBZSO. 471 472 473 474 475 476 477 478 479 480 481 482 483 484 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT § 230.28. Group Homes. A. Purpose. This section is intended to preserve the residential character of single-family residential neighborhoods and to further the purposes of the FEHA, the FHAA and the Lanterman Act by, among other things: (1) ensuring that group homes are actually entitled to the special accommodation and/or additional accommodation provided under the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and not simply skirting the City's boarding house regulations; (2) limiting the secondary impacts of group homes by reducing noise and traffic, preserving safety and providing adequate on street parking; (3) providing an accommodation for the disabled that is reasonable and actually bears some resemblance to the opportunities afforded non-disabled individuals to use and enjoy a dwelling unit in a single-family neighborhood; and (4) to provide comfortable living environments that will enhance the opportunity for the disabled and for recovering addicts to be successful in their programs.

(4213-8/20) 498 City Council Meeting – Council Member Items Report To: City Council From: Pat Burns, Mayor and Don Kennedy, Councilman Date: May 6, 2025 Subject: SOBER LIVING HOME ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 | www.huntingtonbeachca.gov ISSUE STATEMENT On July 20, 2020, the Huntington Beach City Council adopted the Group Homes Ordinance [Nos. 4214, 4212, 4215, and 4213] amending the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance and Municipal Code. The Group Homes Ordinance established regulations for Group Homes, Sober Living Homes, and Residential Care Facilities (together: Group Homes) striking a balance between the interests of the City, its residents, and residents of Group Homes. Effective implementation of the City’s Group Homes Ordinance has been hampered due to a number of sober living homeowners/operators who are either operating without the required permits or are in violation of the conditions outlined in their existing permits. Unpermitted or non- compliant facilities create public safety issues, neighborhood quality of life issues, and the level of care being provided to residents of Group Homes is compromised when the law is not followed. I request the City Attorney and City Manager draft an amendment of the current Group Home Ordinance to ensure greater accountability among sober living homeowners/operators. The intent is to amend the Group Homes Ordinance to prevent owners/operators from applying or re-applying for permit(s) for five years once they have been found to be operating unlawfully. RECOMMENDED ACTION Direct the City Manager and City Attorney to amend the Group Homes Ordinance to prevent owners/operators from applying or re-applying for Group Home permit(s) for five years once they have been found to be operating unlawfully and agendize the Ordinance for Planning Commission review and City Council review and approval. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS Not applicable. STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL Not Applicable - Administrative Item. 499 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT SUBMITTED TO: Planning Commission SUBMITTED BY: Jennifer Villasenor, Director of Community Development PREPARED BY: Jason Kelley, Senior Planner SUBJECT: ..title ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 25-003 (REAPPLICATION PROCESS FOR GROUP HOMES) REQUEST: To amend Section 230.28 (Group Homes) of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance to prohibit a group home from reapplying for permits for five years from the date of the denial or revocation of a permit. LOCATION: Citywide ..body APPLICANT: City of Huntington Beach PROPERTY OWNER: Various RECOMMENDATION: ..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. B) Recommend approval of Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 25-003 to the City Council with suggested findings (Attachment No. 1). ..end ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S): A) Recommend denial of Zoning Text Amendment No. 25-003 with findings for denial; or B) Continue Zoning Text Amendment No. 25-003 and direct staff accordingly. 500 PROJECT PROPOSAL: Background: On July 20, 2020, the City Council adopted the Group Homes Ordinance amending the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) and the Municipal Code (HBMC) to establish regulations for group homes, sober living homes and residential care facilities. Since the adoption of the Ordinance, there have been sober living facilities that are either operating without the required permits or are in violation of the conditions of approval outlined in their permit. To ensure greater accountability among sober living facilities, the City Council directed staff (Attachment No. 6) to draft an amendment to the HBZSO and the HBMC to prevent group homes from applying or reapplying for a permit for five years once they have been found to be operating unlawfully. ZTA No. 25-003 represents a request to amend Section 230.28 of the HBZSO to prohibit a group home from reapplying for permits for five years from the date of the denial or revocation of a permit. A draft City Council ordinance (Attachment No. 2) along with a legislative draft (Attachment No. 4) of the amendment are provided. In the legislative draft, bold and underlined indicates new text; strikeout indicates removal of text. There is an accompanying amendment to Section 5.110 of the HBMC that will be presented to City Council only together with the Planning Commission’s recommendation on ZTA No. 25-003. The draft City Council ordinance (Attachment No. 3) and legislative draft (Attachment No. 5) of the HBMC amendment are provided for reference only and not for Planning Commission review or recommendation. ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: General Plan Conformance: The proposed zoning text amendment is consistent with the policies of the City’s General Plan including: Land Use Element: Policy LU-2(D): Maintain and protect residential neighborhoods by avoiding encroachment of incompatible land uses. Housing Element: Policy H-1.1: Preserve the character, scale, and quality of established residential neighborhoods. The proposed ZTA introduces language to Section 230.28 to strengthen enforcement against unlawful group homes to protect residential neighborhoods and the residents of these facilities. Specifically, the amendment establishes a five-year prohibition on 501 applying or reapplying for a Special Use Permit or Conditional Use Permit for any group home found to be operating in violation of applicable laws or zoning regulations. Additionally, the amendment defines all categories of group home operators — including owners, operators, individuals, corporations, and landowners — to prevent circumvention of the five-year restriction through changes in ownership or management structure. Zoning Compliance: The ZTA amends the HBZSO by introducing regulations for group homes whose permits have been denied or revoked in Section 230.28 (C) Effect of Denial or Revocation of Special Use Permit or Conditional Use Permit. It provides additional reinforcement to hold owners and operators accountable with their uses in residential neighborhoods and ensure a high quality of life for the community as well as residents of these facilities. Environmental Status: ZTA No. 25-003 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. 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 were prepared with input from the City Attorney’s Office. Public Notification: Legal notice was published in the Huntington Beach Wave on Thursday, July 31, 2025, and notices were sent to individuals/organizations requesting notification (Planning Division’s Notification Matrix). In lieu of sending notices to all property owners within the City, a minimum 1/8 page advertisement was published. As of August 19, 2025, no communication regarding this request has been received. SUMMARY: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Zoning Text Amendment No. 25-003 with suggested findings and forward to the City Council based on the following: • It addresses a community need to prevent group homes from applying or reapplying for a group home permit for five years once they have been found to be operating unlawfully; and • Consistent with General Plan Policies.

Retiree (Annuitant) Coverage As required by the Government Code, retired employees (annuitants) shall have available the ability to participate in the PEMHCA program. The City’s requirement to provide retirees and/or annuitants medical coverage is solely governed by the Government Code that requires the City to extend this benefit to retirees (annuitants). While the City is contracted with CalPERS to participate in the PEMHCA program, CalPERS shall be the sole determiner of eligibility for retiree and/or annuitant to participate in the PEMHCA program. a. City Contribution (Unequal Contribution Method) for Retirees As provided by the Government Code and the CalPERS Board, and requested by the Association, the City shall use the Unequal Contribution Method to make City contributions on behalf of each retiree or annuitant.

The City shall make these payments only while the City is a participant in the PEMHCA program. b. Termination of Participation in the CalPERS PEMHCA Program – Impact to Retirees The City’s requirement to provide retirees (annuitants) medical coverage is solely governed by the Government Code requirement that PEMHCA agencies extend this benefit to retirees (annuitants).

Each January 1st the amount per month paid to the City for each retiree and/or annuitant described above shall increase by the amount PEMHCA requires the City to pay on behalf of each retiree (annuitant). Article IX.A.3.a. provides an example of expected payments per retiree or annuitant per month. In the event of passage of State Legislation, Judicial Rulings, or CalPERS Board Actions that increases the mandatory minimum monthly contribution for retirees (annuitants), the Association shall pay an equal amount to the City. Payments shall be made the first of the month (following implementation). If the Association fails to make timely payments for two consecutive months, the City shall implement a decrease in the supplemental benefit contribution to health insurance for each unit employee by an amount equal to the total increased cost paid by the City. [For example, if the increased cost for retirees equals $6,000 per year, the monthly supplemental benefit for each employee will be decreased as follows: $6,000 divided by twelve (months) = $500, which is then divided by the number of employees receiving supplemental benefits]. b. Termination Clause The City and Association may each request termination of the City’s contract with CalPERS after the announcement of State Legislation, Judicial Rulings, or a CalPERS Board Action that changes the employer’s contribution, insurance premiums or program changes to the CalPERS medical plan. The City and Association may elect to terminate its participation in the CalPERS PEMHCA program by mutual agreement through the meet and confer process between the Association and the City. B. Medical Cash-Out If an employee is covered by a medical program outside of a City-provided program (evidence must be supplied to the Human Resources DivisionHuman Resources Department), the employee may elect to discontinue City medical coverage and receive three hundred twenty two dollars and sixty one cents ($322.61) bi-weekly to deposit into a deferred compensation account or any other pre-tax program offered by the City, so long as the contribution is in accordance with applicable Internal Revenue Code of regulations.

Plan Participation Requirements 1. At the time of retirement, the employee has a minimum of ten (10) years of continuous regular (permanent) City service or is granted an industrial disability retirement; and 2. At the time of retirement, the employee is employed by the City; and 3. Following official separation from the City, the employee is granted a retirement allowance by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). The City’s obligation to pay the Service Credit Subsidy as indicated shall be modified downward or cease during the lifetime of the retiree upon the occurrence of any one of the following: a. During any period the retired employee is eligible to receive or receives medical insurance coverage at the expense of another employer, the payment will be suspended. “Another employer” as used herein means private employer or public employer or the employer of a spouse. As a condition of being eligible to receive the Service Credit Subsidy as set forth in this plan, the City shall have the right to require any retiree to annually certify that the retiree is not receiving or eligible to receive any such medical insurance benefits from another employer. If it is later discovered that a misrepresentation has occurred, the retiree will be responsible for reimbursement of those amounts inappropriately expended and the retiree’s eligibility to receive further benefits will cease. b. On the first of the month in which a retiree or dependent reaches age sixty-five (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 Service Credit Subsidy may be adjusted downward or eliminated. c. In the event of the death of an eligible employee, whether retired or not, the amount of the Service Credit Subsidy benefit which the deceased employee was eligible for at the time of their death shall be paid to the surviving spouse or dependent for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months from the date of death. 4. Minimum Eligibility for Benefits – With the exception of an industrial disability retirement, eligibility for Service Credit Subsidy begins after an employee has completed ten (10) years of continuous regular (permanent) service with the City of 563 MARINE SAFETY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION EXHIBIT B – SERVICE CREDIT SUBSIDY PLAN MSMA MOU January 1, 2022 2025 – December 31, 20242027 26 Huntington Beach. Said service must be continuous unless prior service is reinstated at the time of their rehire in accordance with the City’s Personnel Rules. To receive the Service Credit Subsidy retirees are required to purchase medical insurance from City sponsored plans. The City shall have the right to require any retiree (annuitant) to annually certify that the retiree is purchasing medical insurance benefits. 5. Disability Retirees – Industrial disability retirees with less than ten (10) years of service shall receive a maximum monthly payment toward the premium for health insurance of one hundred twenty dollars ($120). Payments shall be in accordance with the stipulations and conditions, which exist for all retirees. 6. Service Credit Subsidy – Payment shall not exceed dollar amount, which is equal to the qualified medical expenses incurred for the purchase of City sponsored medical insurance. 7. Maximum Monthly Service Credit Subsidy Payments – All retirees, including those retired as a result of disability whose number of years of service prior to retirement exceeds ten (10), continuous years of regular (permanent) service shall be entitled to maximum monthly Service Credit Subsidy by the City for each year of completed City service as follows: Maximum Service Credit Subsidy Retirements After: Years of Service Service Credit Subsidy 10 $120 11 135 12 150 13 165 14 180 15 195 16 210 17 225 18 240 19 255 20 270 21 285 22 299 23 314 24 329 25 344 564 MARINE SAFETY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION EXHIBIT B – SERVICE CREDIT SUBSIDY PLAN MSMA MOU January 1, 2022 2025 – December 31, 20242027 27 The Service Credit Subsidy will be reduced every January 1st by an amount equal to any required amount to be paid by the City on behalf of the retiree (annuitant). Article IX.A.3.a. provides an example of expected reductions per retiree per month. 8. Medicare a. All persons eligible for Medicare coverage at age sixty-five (65). Those with sufficient credited quarters of Social Security will receive Part A of Medicare at no cost. Those without sufficient credited quarters are still eligible for Medicare at age sixty-five (65), but will have to pay for Part A of Medicare if the individual elects to take Medicare. In all cases, the participant pays for Part B of Medicare. b. When a retiree and their spouse are both sixty-five (65) or over, and neither is eligible for paid Part A of Medicare, the Service Credit Subsidy shall pay for Part A for each of them or the maximum subsidy, whichever is less. c. When a retiree at age sixty-five (65) is eligible for paid Part A of Medicare and their spouse is not eligible for paid Part A of Medicare, the spouse shall not receive the subsidy. When a retiree at age sixty-five (65) is not eligible for paid Part A of Medicare and their spouse who is also age sixty-five (65) is eligible for paid Part A of Medicare, the subsidy shall be for the retiree’s Part A only. 9. Cancellation a. For retirees/dependents eligible for paid Part A of Medicare, the following cancellation provisions apply: i. Coverage for a retiree under the Service Credit Subsidy Plan will be eliminated on the first day of the month in which the retiree reaches age sixty-five (65). ii. At age sixty-five (65) retirees are eligible to make application for Medicare. Upon being considered “eligible to make application”, whether or not application has been made for Medicare, the Service Credit Subsidy Plan will be eliminated. 565 MARINE SAFETY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION EXHIBIT C – MODIFICATION TO EMPLOYEE-EMPLOYER RELATIONS RESOLUTION MSMA MOU January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2024 28 A.

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. Employees who accrue vacation, general leave or compensatory time may donate such leave to another 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 a 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 may be donated. The minimum donation an employee may make is two (2) hours and the maximum is forty (40) hours. 4. Eligibility 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 571 MARINE SAFETY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION EXHIBIT E – VOLUNTARY CATASTROPHIC LEAVE DONATION PROGRAM MSMA MOU January 1, 2022 2025 – December 31, 20242027 34 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 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 (City payroll). 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.

Financial Impact: Not applicable Recommended Action: Direct staff to research grants and other funding opportunities through the state and federal government and return in the first quarter of 2026 to report on possible funding sources. Alternative Action(s): Direct staff accordingly Analysis: DNA - Forensic Biology Unit DNA identification is one of the most effective ways to solve crimes. The City of Huntington Beach contracts with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) for forensic laboratory services. DNA evidence collected at a crime scene by the Huntington Beach Police Department is analyzed by OCSD. Due to high demand from multiple agencies, the turnaround time for forensic results can range from City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ 583 File #:25-739 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 several months up to a year, impacting the speed and effectiveness of investigations. When HBPD submits evidence to the OCSD Laboratory, there is a minimum 9 month waiting period before HBPD receives the results of the DNA examination. In most cases, the waiting period is well over 12 months. During this period, potential suspects may continue committing crimes against Huntington Beach residents while the HBPD awaits completion of the lab work. Computer Forensics In almost every crime in Huntington Beach, the suspect, victim, or witness has an electronic device such as a cellular phone, tablet, or computer. HBPD has a small High-Tech Crime Unit consisting of one Police Detective and a Forensic Systems Specialist. These two employees process approximately 300 electronic devices a year for the HBPD Detective Unit. An expansion of the High-Tech Crime Unit to include two additional Forensic Systems Specialists would allow the HBPD to examine electronic data at a much faster rate and also offer services for a fee to other local police agencies. This expansion would allow the High-Tech Crime Unit to double its output to about 600 electronic devices per year. An expansion would allow HBPD to charge other agencies for the additional 300 cases per year. HBPD could charge $2500 per case recovering up to $750,000 per year. A proposed laboratory expansion would increase turnaround time for laboratory personnel to process each device. Funding Although the cost recovery on from the DNA laboratory is minimal at best, the cost recovery for an expansion of the High-Tech Laboratory could more than cover the annual operating costs. One of the most important aspects of this project is the reduction of time spent waiting for results from the OCSD Crime Laboratory and the High-Tech Crime Unit. HBPD waits a minimum of 9 months for DNA evidence on major violent crimes. The wait for DNA evidence on nonviolent crimes can up upwards of 18 months. The residents of Huntington Beach would not have to wait for justice if the HBPD had its own DNA crime laboratory as results would be obtained months sooner.

An Independence Day task force will be formed that will include current Independence Day Board members and new volunteers to lead fundraising and volunteer efforts. This structure encourages greater community involvement, collaboration, and flexibility, while allowing all members to participate together in planning and event activities without the restrictions of subcommittees under the Brown Act. Financial Impact: Not applicable. Recommended Action: Approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4335, “An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach deleting Chapter 2.106 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and Dissolving the Huntington Beach Independence Day Board.” Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: The Independence Day Board (IDB) was established in 1983. Per Huntington Beach Municipal Code City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ 592 File #:25-271 MEETING DATE:9/16/2025 (HBMC) Chapter 2.106, the IDB is an advisory body to the City Council, implementing policy as set by the City Council. The IDB shall work with staff and volunteers to assist in coordinating the City's annual Fourth of July parade and celebration. When the IDB was originally established, board members were fully responsible for planning and executing the City’s annual Independence Day events with the support from Community Services staff. The IDB would provide recommendations to the City Council regarding event policies and procedures, logistics, and annual budgets. The IDB was solely responsible for soliciting event sponsorships and donations while Community Services staff processed invoices, purchase orders, facilitated meetings and prepared minutes. In August of 2020, the City of Huntington Beach released a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit a qualified event management firm (Contractor) to assume the responsibility for the planning and execution of the City’s Independence Day event. Under the new model, the City would pay a predetermined management fee to the Contractor, who would then be responsible for the financials of the event, including soliciting donations and sponsorships, booking service providers and event vendors, and processing all invoices. The function of the IDB transitioned at this time, with the main role of the IDB evolving to supporting the event contractor, soliciting community sponsorships, and providing invaluable volunteer hours to support event operations throughout the week of events. The Contractor works closely with City staff to implement all event policies and procedures, approve annual budgets, and confirm event logistics, thereby eliminating the need for the IDB to serve in an advisory capacity to City Council. Since the IDB’s role has shifted from a Council Advisory Board to event volunteerism and support, staff is recommending the introduction for adoption of Ordinance No. 4335 of the City of Huntington Beach deleting Chapter 2.106 of the HBMC and dissolving the Independence Day Board. Annually, staff will establish a task force for the Independence Day event, inviting existing IDB members to participate in the new task force. The task force will focus on fundraising and volunteerism for the Independence Day event. The new format expands opportunities for increased community involvement and collaboration between all members on projects rather than dividing projects into sub-committees, as required by the Brown Act. The task force will allow all members to be present and volunteer together during the Independence Day events and provide more flexibility for ongoing planning meetings.

E-bikes, often ridden by minors without driver training, are capable of speeds exceeding 28 mph—and even higher when modified. Their use on sidewalks and other pedestrian areas creates a safety risk for pedestrians in our city. Since May 2023, HBPD has documented more than 1,300 micromobility -related nuisance calls, highlighting the community-wide impact. While most reported collisions have occurred on roadways, the same risk factors —high speeds and untrained riders—make sidewalks increasingly unsafe. Huntington Beach has seen e-Bike crashes more than double since 2022, with 2025 projections exceeding 160 crashes. According to CHOC, youth e-bike trauma admissions have risen over 1,500% since 2019, with Huntington Beach leading Orange County in emergency department cases. These statistics highlight the need to act now, proactively addressing sidewalk risks before injuries increase. The Municipal Code already restricts bicycles on sidewalks in certain areas, but it predates widespread e-bike use. Updating the ordinance will strengthen these rules by explicitly including e-bikes and other electric conveyances, while also establishing enforceable standards for speed, right-of-way, and pedestrian safety. Updating the ordinance will provide clear rules, stronger enforcement tools, and safer sidewalks for the community. RECOMMENDED ACTION Direct the City Manager and City Attorney to prepare an ordinance amending Huntington Beach Municipal Code § 10.84.160 (Riding on Sidewalks) to read as follows: A. No person shall ride a bicycle, electric bicycle, or any other electric conveyance: 1. Upon a sidewalk within any business district, unless explicitly allowed by signage. 2. Upon any sidewalk located within 100 feet of the property line of a public school building, church, recreation center, or playground. 3. Upon any pedestrian overcrossing or within any crosswalk. 4. Upon a sidewalk against the normal flow of traffic. 600 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 | www.huntingtonbeachca.gov B. Where sidewalk riding is permitted, operators shall: 1. Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and exercise due care to avoid collisions. 2. Provide an audible signal prior to overtaking and passing pedestrians. 3. Operate at a speed not exceeding ten (10) miles per hour, and at a speed not exceeding five (5) miles per hour when pedestrians are present. C. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the use of a wheelchair, mobility scooter, or other assistive device by a person with a disability, whether manually operated or motorized, when used for mobility assistance. 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.

In Huntington Beach, we must continue to build off the success of our Streamline H.B. program and take a proactive and creative approach to supporting our local business and economy by streamlining and enhancing services. A thriving local economy where our businesses prosper will help fund the critical services, programs, and infrastructure our residents and businesses count on every day. An Ad Hoc City Council Committee should engage with the City Manager and each department’s staff to create a holistic approach to improve the service for our business community. The outcome should provide streamlining of permitting process, offering a more personalized “white glove” follow-up service, and expand our outreach efforts to be more business friendly, attract new businesses, and promote and market our businesses and industries that have invested in Huntington Beach. Opportunities may include: • Further enhance Streamline H.B. • Proactive business outreach to attract new businesses and investments • Business Roundtables • Restaurant Association • Job Fairs • Specific Event Process Workflow and Template • Explore incentive opportunities for rehabilitation of commercial properties This vision is supported by the Goals and Strategies of the 2023 -2027 Strategic Plan. Economic Development: Greater business retention, investment, and job growth in Huntington Beach. Fiscal Stability: Available Funding to support a high -quality level of programs, services, and capital investments and to build a structural surplus. High Performing Organization: An engaged City workforce that is committed to responsive and exceptional public service for all. Public Engagement: A community that has easy access to clear, accurate, and timely City information and expresses increased awareness and involvement in City activities. 603 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 | www.huntingtonbeachca.gov RECOMMENDED ACTION Create the Business Development Team and Service Improvements Ad Hoc City Council Committee comprised of three City Council Members and direct the City Manager to select department representatives.

Attachment(s): 1.Gruel Memo City of Huntington Beach Printed on 9/10/2025Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™ 605 City Council Meeting – Council Member Items Report To: City Council From: Andrew Gruel, C ouncilman Date: September 16, 2025 Subject: E XPLORE THE TERMINATION OF THE SYMPHONY OF FLOWERS EVENT 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 | www.huntingtonbeachca.gov ISSUE STATEMENT The Symphony of Flowers was initiated to provide seasonal programming and community engagement. While the event was designed with good intentions, it has not achieved the desired alignment with Huntington Beach. As stewards of public resources, it is critical that City events reflect fiscal responsibility, strong community support, and alignment with our civic priorities. The Symphony of Flowers has required significant staff time, public safety allocations, and logistical costs without generating commensurate community benefit. Feedback from residents has consistently reflected concerns that the event did not capture the character of Huntington Beach or provide the type of seasonal experience residents value. In light of current budgetary constraints and the need to focus on core services, it is appropriate to sunset the Symphony of Flowers and free resources for programs that better serve the community. This action does not preclude the City from exploring new community events in the future. Staff and community partners may bring forward alternative proposals that are more cost-effective, sustainable, and reflective of the values and character of Huntington Beach. Termination of the Symphony of Flowers will eliminate ongoing City expenses associated with staffing, equipment, permitting, and public safety. These savings can be redirected toward higher- priority community programs. RECOMMENDED ACTION Direct staff to explore steps to terminate the Symphony of Flowers event. 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.

As Surf City USA, we should fully support the application of USA Surfing to be recertified as the National Governing Body. After the 2020 Tokyo Games, Surfing America — now USA Surfing — voluntarily decertified as the sport’s national governing body due to auditing issues under previous management. The organization worked with the USOPC to correct those issues with the underst anding it would be eligible for recertification before the 2024 Paris Games. In the meantime, USA Surfing continued to run its Prime Series, develop athletes and oversee longboarding, adaptive surfing, and other programs. Earlier this year, it submitted its application for recertification. While Orange County based USA Surfing was working toward recertification, U.S. Ski & Snowboard, based in Park City, Utah, submitted its own bid to oversee Olympic surfing. Many Olympic and professional surfers call California home, and having a Governing Body that recognizes and understands the importance of surfing in California and is familiar with the community is crucial. As Surf City USA, we should fully support the application of USA Surfing to be recertified as the National Governing Body. RECOMMENDED ACTION Authorize the Mayor to issue a letter of support to the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee for recertification of US Surfing as the National Governing Body for the sport of surfing in the United States. 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 608 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 | www.huntingtonbeachca.gov 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.

Stretching across 10 miles of uninterrupted coastline, Huntington Beach is a cornerstone of American surf culture and one of the premier surfing destinations in the nation. Our community proudly hosts the International Surfing Museum, the Surfing Hall of F ame, the Surfing Walk of Fame, and the U.S. Open of Surfing. USA Surfing represents the interests of U.S. Olympic Surfing and has consistently demonstrated the leadership and vision necessary for the sport’s success. A Governing Body that both understands the significance of surfing in communities like Huntington Beach and is deeply connected to the culture of the sport is essential. USA Surfing has established trusted relationships with athletes, community leaders, and the surf industry, ensuring a strong foundation for the sport’s continued growth and recognition. As Surf City USA, Huntington Beach proudly urges that USA Surfing be designated as the official Governing Body for surfing in the United States. Sincerely, Pat Burns Mayor 610
