There were four speakers in support of the item and twelve in opposition (Attachment No. 6). Staff also received two phone inquiries about the project and one letter opposing the project (Attachment No. 7). Planning Commission Action on January 27, 2026: A MOTION WAS MADE BY GOLDBERG, SECONDED BY MCGEE, TO FIND THE PROPOSED PROJECT CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO SECTION 15332, CLASS 32; AND APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 22-011 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 22-009 WITH SUGGESTED FINDINGS AND MODIFIED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO LIMIT THE BUNGALOWS TO HUNTINGTON CLUB MEMBERS ONLY AND WORK WITH CITY STAFF TO LIGHT SIX EXISTING UNLIT TENNIS COURTS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: City of Huntington Beach Printed on 4/15/2026Page 2 of 5 25 File #:26-280 MEETING DATE:4/21/2026 MOTION APPROVED C.APPEAL: On February 9, 2026, Douglas Scott Warren, Susan Ridgeway, and Cheryl Gates appealed the project (Attachment No. 3) citing the following: • The proposed land use (lodging) is not consistent with the Open Space Zoning District • The Class 32 CEQA Exemption does not apply to the proposed project • The Planning Commission relied on unsupported economic claims • The Planning Commission decision is not supported by substantial evidence D.STAFF ANALYSIS: The January 27, 2026, Planning Commission staff report (Attachment No. 5) provides a detailed description and analysis of the proposed project. The project consists of bungalows and lofts (six total) intended for short-term lodging, which are incidental and accessory to the site’s primary use as a private tennis and golf club. The club is conditionally permitted as a commercial recreation use within the Open Space - Parks and Recreation (OS-PR) zoning designation. The following responses to the appeal are provided below. Appeal Pursuant to Chapters 204 and 213 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO), accessory uses within the OS-PR zone must be incidental to the principal open space use. Accessory uses to conditionally permitted uses (commercial recreation) are also subject to a conditional use permit by the Planning Commission. The primary use of the property will remain a private tennis and golf club, and the proposed bungalow and loft facilities will function as an amenity exclusively for club members. Campgrounds and overnight recreational vehicles are examples of ancillary uses to an open space use of parks or beaches, which are the primary recreational use. The proposed project is consistent with the City’s General Plan, Coastal Element, and HBZSO, and does not conflict with applicable public recreation or coastal access policies. The project is located within a private tennis and golf facility. It involves a remodel and upgrade of an existing recreational building and amenities. It will continue to serve as a private club for members. Prior to action on the proposed project by the Planning Commission, a Class 32 Exemption justification was prepared by a third-party environmental consultant. The analysis in the exemption justification (Attachment No. 9) provides substantial evidence that the proposed project properly qualifies for an exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (i.e., Class 32) and, as a result, would not have a significant effect on the environment. Additionally, the analysis shows there are no exceptions to qualifying for the Categorical Exemption, as identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2.Accordingly, the project qualifies for an exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section City of Huntington Beach Printed on 4/15/2026Page 3 of 5 26 File #:26-280 MEETING DATE:4/21/2026 Environmental Status: A review of the proposed project was conducted by EPD, a third-party environmental consultant. The review determined that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment and is documented in an Exemption Justification in Attachment No. 9.

The Project meets all conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15332(a) through (e) pertaining to in-fill development projects (Class 32 categorical exemption): (a) The Project is consistent with all applicable general plan designations and policies, as well as applicable zoning designations and regulations; (b) the Project occurs entirely within City of Huntington Beach limits on a 2.46-acre portion of the project site and is surrounded by urban uses; (c) the Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; (d) approval of the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and (e) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Therefore, the Project qualifies for Class 32 exemption and is categorically exempt under Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL – CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 22-011: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 22-011 is a request to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility including removing and replacing a swimming pool, two-story tennis clubhouse (12,046 sq. ft.) at an overall height of 30 ft.-8 in., parking and landscaping and removing four tennis courts. The request also includes the construction of four single-story detached bungalow structures (ranging from 883 sq. ft. to 1,865 sq. ft.) at an overall height of 17 ft.-3 in. and two loft units (3,036 sq. ft. and 1,173 sq. ft.) proposed on the second floor of the new tennis clubhouse for lodging for club members and 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 as the proposed use will be within an existing private golf and tennis club facility. The proposed project is not anticipated to generate any significant noise, traffic, parking or other impacts detrimental to surrounding properties and is consistent with the subject property’s zoning. The proposed amenities are ancillary to an approved commercial recreation use. The design of the tennis clubhouse incorporates contemporary architecture with a combination of façade breaks and architectural elements and materials that provide visual interest such as smooth plaster, contrasting concrete and metal accents, and a standing seam metal roof. The bungalows include similar materials with a modern Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style, clay tile roofs, and primarily smooth plaster façade finish. The shared materials will complement the new buildings with the existing golf clubhouse. New landscaping and net additional 32 parking spaces will enhance the recreational facility. The proposed bungalows will replace four tennis court areas and along with the lofts provide short-term accommodations for members and their guests during club events as an additional amenity to the club. 29 Attachment 1.2 Furthermore, the nearest residence is approximately 75 feet away from the nearest bungalow and more than 100 feet away from the nearest parking space. To minimize potential noise impacts during nighttime hours, the project is conditioned to post signage restricting visitors from congregating outside of the bungalows during nighttime hours and provide onsite club personnel/security to patrol and enforce quiet hours. The new tennis clubhouse/fitness center and swimming pool will be replaced at their existing location, approximately 380 feet away from the nearest residence, and surrounded by the existing golf clubhouse, lake feature, and center tennis court. The new tennis clubhouse and pool will be oriented towards the site’s parking lot. The project will enhance the site and support the continuation of an existing commercial recreation use. 2. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 22-011 to remodel a portion of an existing private golf and tennis club facility (The Huntington Club) and add new lofts and bungalows as ancillary amenity will not adversely affect the General Plan because it is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Open Space-Recreation (OS-R) on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals 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-14 (B): Encourage both coastal and inland visitor-serving uses to offer a wide spectrum of opportunities for residents and visitors. Noise Element Policy N-1 (A): Maintain acceptable stationary noise levels at existing noise-sensitive land uses such as schools, residential areas, and open spaces. Environmental Resources and Conservation Element Policy ERC-2 (D): Encourage and coordinate with private commercial recreational businesses to provide recreational services and facilities that may not otherwise be offered by the City. The proposed development will continue the land use pattern of open space-recreation uses in the surrounding area. The new tennis clubhouse and pool will be updated and located in their existing locations. The new clubhouse will remain two stories and will be similar in height with surrounding properties. The new bungalows will also be compatible in height, proportion, scale, and character with the neighborhood and similar existing recreational uses on-site. The buildings feature quality architecture and exterior finish 30 Attachment 1.3 materials, and the functional site layout integrates landscape improvements with adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation. The existing private golf and tennis club will continue to operate as originally approved. The new units for short-term accommodation will be an additional amenity offered to members of the private club and conditioned to be limited to members and their guests to ensure the development remains compatible with the surrounding uses and compliant with the General Plan and zoning designations. In addition to conditions of approval, adequate distances between new structures and adjacent residential uses are provided to sufficiently buffer and minimize potential impacts on noise-sensitive uses. Site upgrades will support the club’s operations in providing amenities to residents and visitors that promote recreational uses within the coastal zone. 3. Conditional Use Permit No. 22-011 to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility and add new lofts and bungalows 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 because the OS-PR zoning designation allows for commercial recreational uses with the approval of a conditional use permit. The proposed improvements will be located within the premises of an existing commercial recreation facility and conforms to applicable site development standards, including landscaping, setbacks, height, and parking. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 22-009: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 22-009 is a request to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility including removing and replacing a swimming pool, two-story tennis clubhouse building at an overall height of 30 ft.-8 in., parking and landscaping and removing four tennis court areas (three tennis courts and one outdoor event space). The request also includes the construction of four single-story detached bungalow structures (ranging from 883 sq. ft. to 1,865 sq. ft.) at an overall height of 17 ft.-3 in. and two loft units (3,036 sq. ft. and 1,173 sq. ft.) proposed on the second floor of the new tennis clubhouse as short-term accommodation for club members and conforms with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program because the project is consistent with Coastal Element Policy C.1.1.1, which encourages development within, or contiguous to or in close proximity to existing developed areas able to accommodate it. The project’s location would not result in an impact on open space recreational areas. Public services are currently available to the project site, as well as the surrounding parcels, and the project includes improvements to existing infrastructure to ensure adequate service after project implementation. 2. Coastal Development Permit No. 22-009 to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility and add new lofts and bungalows 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 the proposed project complies with applicable development regulations, including building setbacks, building height, parking, and landscaping. It is also consistent with the design guidelines and is compatible with the scale and transition of surrounding development. 3. At the time of occupancy, the proposed development to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility and add new lofts and bungalows can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Local Coastal Program as the proposed project will be constructed on a developed site in an urbanized area with all necessary services and infrastructure available, including water, sewer, and roadways. In addition, the project provides the necessary public improvements. 31 Attachment 1.4 4. Coastal Development Permit No. 22-009 to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility and add new lofts and bungalows conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act because the proposed project will not impede public access and does not conflict with any public recreation policies by the provision of a development consistent with the City’s General Plan, Coastal Element, and HBZSO.

We hereby submit this formal appeal of the Huntington Beach Planning Commission's decision approving Agenda Item 26-039 at its January 27, 2026, hearing. The Planning Commission's action should be reversed because the approval is inconsistent with the Huntington Beach Zoning Code, improperly relies on a Class 32 CEQA exemption, and is based in part on unsubstantiated economic claims that are not supported by substantial evidence in the record. 1. The Approved Lodging Use Is Not Consistent with the Open Space Zoning District The project approved under Agenda Item 26-039 authorizes a lodging use within an Open Space zoning designation. Lodging is neither a permitted nor conditionally permitted use in the Open Space zone under the Huntington Beach Zoning Code. The Commission's attempt to characterize the lodging component as incidental, accessory, or otherwise compatible with Open Space zoning is not supported by the Code and conflicts with the purpose and intent of the Open Space designation, which is intended to preserve land for recreational, conservation, and low-intensity uses-not transient occupancy or commercial lodging. Approving a use that is not allowed by the zoning code exceeds the Planning Commission's authority and constitutes an improper de facto rezoning without legislative action. 2. The Class 32 (Infill) CEQA Exemption Does Not Apply The Planning Commission improperly relied on a Class 32 CEQA exemption. Class 32 applies only to qualifying infill development that meets all of the following criteria, including but not limited to: • Consistency with applicable zoning and General Plan designations; 61 • Development within city limits on a site surrounded by urban uses; • No significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. Because the proposed lodging use is not consistent with the Open Space zoning designation, the project fails the threshold requirement for a Class 32 exemption. An exemption cannot be used to bypass zoning inconsistencies. Additionally, the record does not contain substantial evidence demonstrating that the project would not result in significant impacts related to traffic, noise, or neighborhood compatibility, particularly given the introduction of transient lodging into an Open Space area adjacent to residential uses. For these reasons, reliance on the Class 32 exemption was legally improper. 3. The Commission Relied on Unsupported Economic Claims During deliberations, the Planning Commission relied in part on the applicant's assertion that the project would generate approximately $500,000 per year In tax revenue to the City. No documentation, fiscal analysis, or independent verification was provided to substantiate this claim. Unverified statements by an applicant do not constitute substantial evidence under California land use and CEQA law. Reliance on speculative economic benefits especially when used to justify approval of a zoning-inconsistent project-renders the decision arbitrary and unsupp011ed by the administrative record. 4. The Decision Is Not Supported by Substantial Evidence Taken together, the zoning inconsistency, improper CEQA exemption, and reliance on unsupported financial claims demonstrate that the Planning Commission's approval of Agenda Item 26-039 is not supported by substantial evidence and does not comply with applicable law. 62 For the reasons stated above, we respectfully request that the City Council: 1. Grant this appeal. 2. Reverse the Planning Commission's approval of Agenda Item 26-039; and 3. Require that any future consideration of the project comply fully with the Huntington Beach Zoning Code and CEQA. Thank you for your consideration of this appeal. Please include this letter and all supporting materials in the administrative record. Sincerely, Douglas Scott Warren Tennis Member 19745 Oceanaire Cr.

The Project meets all conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15332(a) through (e) pertaining to in-fill development projects (Class 32 categorical exemption): (a) The Project is consistent with all applicable general plan designations and policies, as well as applicable zoning designations and regulations; (b) the Project occurs entirely within City of Huntington Beach limits on a 2.46-acre portion of the project site and is surrounded by urban uses; (c) the Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; (d) approval of the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and (e) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Therefore, the Project qualifies for Class 32 exemption and is categorically exempt under Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 22-011: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 22-011 is a request to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility including removing and replacing a swimming pool, two-story tennis clubhouse (12,046 sq. ft.) at an overall height of 30 ft.-8 in., parking and landscaping and removing four tennis courts. The request also includes the construction of four single-story detached bungalow structures (ranging from 883 sq. ft. to 1,865 sq. ft.) at an overall height of 17 ft.-3 in. and two loft units (3,036 sq. ft. and 1,173 sq. ft.) proposed on the second floor of the new tennis clubhouse for lodging for club members and 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 as the proposed use will be within an existing private golf and tennis club facility. The proposed project is not anticipated to generate any significant noise, traffic, parking or other impacts detrimental to surrounding properties and is consistent with the subject property's zoning. The proposed amenities are ancillary to an approved commercial recreation use. The design of the tennis clubhouse incorporates contemporary architecture with a combination of fayade breaks and architectural elements and materials that provide visual interest such as smooth plaster, contrasting concrete and metal accents, and a standing seam metal roof. The bungalows include similar materials with a modern Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style, clay tile roofs, and primarily smooth plaster fa9ade finish. The shared materials will complement the new buildings with the existing golf clubhouse. New landscaping and net additional 32 parking spaces will enhance the recreational facility. The proposed bungalows will replace four tennis court areas and along with the lofts provide short-term accommodations for members and their guests during club events as an additional amenity to the club. Furthermore, the nearest residence is approximately 75 feet away from the nearest bungalow and more than 100 feet away from the nearest parking space. To minimize potential noise impacts during nighttime hours, the project is conditioned to post signage restricting visitors from congregating outside of the bungalows during nighttime hours and G:PCINOA\261012726 CUP 22-011_ CDP 22-009 Attachment 1.1 67 provide onsite club personnel/security to patrol and enforce quiet hours. The new tennis clubhouse/fitness center and swimming pool will be replaced at their existing location, approximately 380 feet away from the nearest residence, and surrounded by the existing golf clubhouse, lake feature, and center tennis court. The new tennis clubhouse and pool will be oriented towards the site's parking lot. The project will enhance the site and support the continuation of an existing commercial recreation use. 2. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 22-011 to remodel a portion of an existing private golf and tennis club facility (The Huntington Club) and add new lofts and bungalows as ancillary amenity will not adversely affect the General Plan because it is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Open Space-Recreation (OS-R) on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals 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 (0): Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale, and character to complement adjoining uses. Policy LU-14 (B): Encourage both coastal and inland visitor-serving uses to offer a wide spectrum of opportunities for residents and visitors. Noise Element Policy N-1 (A): Maintain acceptable stationary noise levels at existing noise-sensitive land uses such as schools, residential areas, and open spaces. Environmental Resources and Conservation Element Policy ERC-2 (0): Encourage and coordinate with private commercial recreational businesses to provide recreational services and facilities that may not otherwise be offered by the City. The proposed development will continue the land use pattern of open space-recreation uses in the surrounding area. The new tennis clubhouse and pool will be updated and located in their existing locations. The new clubhouse will remain two stories and will be similar in height with surrounding properties. The new bungalows will also be compatible in height, proportion, scale, and character with the neighborhood and similar existing recreational uses on-site. The buildings feature quality architecture and exterior finish materials, and the functional site layout integrates landscape improvements with adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation. The existing private golf and tennis club will continue to operate as originally approved. The new units for short-term accommodation will be an additional amenity offered to members of the private club and conditioned to be limited to G:PC\NOA\26\012726 CUP 22-011_ CDP 22-009 Attachment 1.2 68 members and their guests to ensure the development remains compatible with the surrounding uses and compliant with the General Plan and zoning designations. In addition to conditions of approval, adequate distances between new structures and adjacent residential uses are provided to sufficiently buffer and minimize potential impacts on noise-sensitive uses. Site upgrades will support the club's operations in providing amenities to residents and visitors that promote recreational uses within the coastal zone. 3. Conditional Use Permit No. 22-011 to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility and add new lofts and bungalows 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 because the OS-PR zoning designation allows for commercial recreational uses with the approval of a conditional use permit. The proposed improvements will be located within the premises of an existing commercial recreation facility and conforms to applicable site development standards, including landscaping, setbacks, height, and parking. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL -COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 22-009: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 22-009 is a request to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility including removing and replacing a swimming pool, two-story tennis clubhouse building at an overall height of 30 ft.-8 in., parking and landscaping and removing four tennis court areas (three tennis courts and one outdoor event space). The request also includes the construction of four single-story detached bungalow structures (ranging from 883 sq. ft. to 1,865 sq. ft.) at an overall height of 17 ft.-3 in. and two loft units (3,036 sq. ft. and 1,173 sq. ft.) proposed on the second floor of the new tennis clubhouse as short-term accommodation for club members and conforms with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program because the project is consistent with Coastal Element Policy C.1.1.1, which encourages development within, or contiguous to or in close proximity to existing developed areas able to accommodate it. The project's location would not result in an impact on open space recreational areas. Public services are currently available to the project site, as well as the surrounding parcels, and the project includes improvements to existing infrastructure to ensure adequate service after project implementation. 2. Coastal Development Permit No. 22-009 to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility and add new lofts and bungalows 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 the proposed project complies with applicable development regulations, including building setbacks, building height, parking, and landscaping. It is also consistent with the design guidelines and is compatible with the scale and transition of surrounding development. 3. At the time of occupancy, the proposed development to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility and add new lofts and bungalows can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Local Coastal Program as the proposed project will be constructed on a developed site in an urbanized area with all necessary services and infrastructure available, including water, sewer, and roadways. In addition, the project provides the necessary public improvements. 4. Coastal Development Permit No. 22-009 to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility and add new lofts and bungalows conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act because the proposed project will not impede public access and does not conflict with any public recreation policies by the provision of a development consistent with the City's General Plan, Coastal Element, and HBZSO.

PROJECT PROPOSAL: The project area is within the existing 143-acre Huntington Club (formally known as the Seacliff Country Club) which consists of an existing golf and tennis club. The Huntington Club was established in 1967 as a private golf club. Over time, additional improvements have occurred on the site, including the addition of a pool and spa area, 16 tennis courts, and a two-story tennis clubhouse that was added in the late 80s. The project proposal is to demolish the existing two-story 6,231 sq. ft. tennis clubhouse, four court areas, and existing pool and spa area and redevelop the site with a new two- story, 12,046 sq. ft., tennis clubhouse building at an overall height of 30 ft.-8 in., along with a new junior Olympic-sized pool and spa. The proposed clubhouse building includes 7,837 sq. ft. on the first floor, which includes a range of clubhouse amenities further described under the Tennis Clubhouse/Bungalows section of this report and two loft units (3,036 sq. ft. and 1,173 sq. ft.) on the second floor. The project also includes four stand- alone casitas, referred to as bungalows, which range from 883 sq. ft. to 1,865 sq. ft. at an overall height of 17 ft.-3 in. The bungalows and lofts would serve as short-term accommodation for club members and their guests. The reconfigured court area would result in the permanent removal of three tennis courts and one former tennis court which was previously converted into outdoor event space. The project also includes associated landscaping, additional parking, and utility improvements. ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Subject Property And Surrounding General Plan Designations, Zoning And Land Uses: LOCATION GENERAL PLAN ZONING LAND USE Subject Property: OS-R (Open Space- Recreation) OS-PR-CZ-O (Open Space-Parks and Recreation-Coastal Zone-Oil Overlay) Commercial Recreation – The Huntington Club North of Subject Property: RL-sp (Residential Low Density-Specific Plan Overlay) SP-9-CZ (Holly Seacliff Specific Plan- Coastal Zone Overlay) Single Family Residential South of Subject Property: RMH-sp and OS-P-sp (Residential Medium High Density- Specific Plan Overlay and Open Space-Parks- Specific Plan Overlay) SP12-CZ (Palm Goldenwest Specific Plan- Coastal Zone Overlay) Medium High Residential and Pattinson Park East of Subject Property: RL (Residential Low Density) RL-CZ (Residential Low Density- Coastal Zone Overlay) Single Family Residential 73 West of Subject Property: RM (Residential Medium Density) RM-CZ-O (Residential Medium Density- Coastal Zone-Oil Overlay) Medium Density Residential General Plan Conformance: The request to remodel a portion of an existing private golf and tennis club facility (The Huntington Club) and add new lofts and bungalows for lodging as an additional amenity will not adversely affect the General Plan because it is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Open Space-Recreation (OS-R) on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals 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 LU1-(D): Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale, and character to complement adjoining uses. Policy LU-14 (B): Encourage both coastal and inland visitor-serving uses to offer a wide spectrum of opportunities for residents and visitors. Noise Element Policy N-1 (A): Maintain acceptable stationary noise levels at existing noise-sensitive land uses such as schools, residential areas, and open spaces. Environmental Resources and Conservation Element Policy ERC-2 (D): Encourage and coordinate with private commercial recreational businesses to provide recreational services and facilities that may not otherwise be offered by the City. The proposed development will continue the land use pattern of open space -recreation uses in the surrounding area. The new tennis clubhouse and pool will be updated and located in their existing locations. The new clubhouse will remain two stories and will be similar in height to surrounding properties. The new bungalows will also be compatible in height, proportion, scale, and character with the neighborhood and similar existing recreational uses on-site. The buildings feature quality architecture and exterior finish materials, and the functional site layout integrates landscape improvements with 74 adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation. The existing private golf and tennis club will continue to operate as originally approved. The new units for short-term accommodation will be an additional amenity offered to members of the private club and conditioned to be limited to members and their guests to ensure the development remains compatible with the surrounding uses and compliant with the General Plan and zoning designations. In addition to recommended conditions, adequate distances between new structures and adjacent residential uses are provided to sufficiently buffer and minimize potential impacts on noise-sensitive uses. Site upgrades will support the existing club’s operations in providing amenities to residents and visitors that promote recreational uses within the coastal zone. Zoning Compliance: The proposed project is within the tennis portion of the Huntington Club, which is a 5.49 - acre parcel with the area of work only affecting 2.46 acres of that parcel. Presently, the tennis parcel is developed with 16 court areas (13 tennis courts and three former tennis courts converted into pickleball courts and event space), a tennis clubhouse totaling approximately 6,231 sq. ft., a pool and spa, and associated parking areas that serve the existing amenities. The site contains turf and ornamental landscaping in addition to a variety of mature trees. Chain-link fencing surrounds the existing tennis courts. The request to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility and construct four single-story detached bungalow structures and two loft units within the OS-PR (Open Space – Park Recreation) zoning designation is subject to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) pursuant to Chapter 213 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO). The project complies with the OS-PR zoning requirements including setbacks, building height, minimum landscape, and parking requirements as detailed in the table below: DEVELOPMENT STANDARD REQUIRED PROPOSED MIN. SETBACKS FRONT SIDE REAR 25 ft. 25 ft. 25 ft. 193 ft. 25 ft. and 315 ft. 1,024 ft. MAX. HEIGHT OF BUILDINGS 35 ft. Tennis Clubhouse: 30 ft.-8 in. Bungalows: 17 ft.-3in MAX. LOT COVERAGE 25% .6% MIN. SITE LANDSCAPING 8% 24.7% MIN. PARKING REQUIRMENT Tennis Clubhouse addition: 1,606 sq. ft.; 1 space/35 sf. = 45.8 spaces Bungalows/Lofts: 1.1/unit = 6.6 spaces Total: 45.8+6.6 = 53 spaces Total: 66 75 Parking and Access The property has a main entrance along Palm Avenue. The existing parking area adjacent to the tennis court area will be extended from the main entry drive aisle to the new bungalow units. While four tennis courts and 34 parking spaces will be removed to accommodate the new drive aisle, parking, and bungalows, 66 new parking spaces will be added to the site and onsite vehicular and pedestrian circulation will be maintained . A total of 327 parking spaces (66 new spaces + 261 existing spaces) will be available onsite to visitors of the club. Landscaping The project is proposing 32,365 SF of landscaping, which would result in 24.7 percent of landscaped area within the project area. Landscaping includes grasses and a variety of trees, shrubs, and vines that would be installed along the project site boundary , parking lots, throughout the open space areas, and along internal walkways as shown in the landscape plan (Attachment No. 2). Lighting The project will include new exterior lighting on-site for security, to accent landscaping, and to light walkways and parking areas. As conditioned, a photometric plan of new light standards or fixtures would be provided to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses and existing conditions. The proposed project’s outdoor lighting would be directed downward and shielded to limit off-site illumination as required by the HBZSO. Tennis Clubhouse/ Bungalows The proposed approximately 12,046 sq. ft. tennis clubhouse will have 7,837 sq. ft. on the ground floor and include a fitness center and spa, men’s and women’s locker rooms, a yoga pavilion, performance therapy, a member’s lounge, and a pro shop. The second floor of the clubhouse contains two lofts which will serve as short-term accommodations for club members and their guests. One of the lofts is a 3,036 sq. ft. three-bedroom unit, while the other loft is a 1,173 sq. ft. one-bedroom unit. Each loft has terraces that face the golf course or pool. Because the existing tennis clubhouse was constructed almost forty years ago, reconstructing the building in its current location and upgrading the amenities would support the continuation of the commercial recreation use consistent with existing development and General Plan policies. The project proposes the construction of four detached bungalows designed for short- term accommodations. The bungalows are named Ojai, Casa Palmero, Rancho Valencia, and Mayacama and include one to three bedrooms . The four bungalow units are as proposed: BUNGALOW NUMBER OF BEDROOMS SIZE 76 Casa Palermo 1 bedroom 883 sq. ft. Ojai 1 bedroom 962 sq. ft. Rancho Valencia 2 bedrooms 1,698 sq. ft. Mayacama 3 bedrooms 1,865 sq. with 500 sq. outdoor patio The bungalows and lofts units will serve as short-term accommodation for members and their guests during club events as an additional amenity to the club. The design of the tennis clubhouse incorporates contemporary architecture with a combination of façade breaks and architectural elements and materials that provide visual interest such as smooth plaster, contrasting concrete and metal accents, and a standing seam metal roof. The bungalows include similar materials with a modern Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style, clay tile roofs, and primarily smooth plaster façade finish, which are also compatible with adjacent residences in the vicinity. The shared materials complement each of the new buildings along with the existing golf clubhouse. The nearest residence is approximately 75 feet away from the nearest bungalow and more than 100 feet away from the nearest parking space. To minimize potential noise impacts during nighttime hours, suggested project conditions include posting signage restricting visitors from congregating outside of the bungalows during nighttime hours and providing onsite club personnel/security to patrol and enforce quiet hours. The new tennis clubhouse/fitness center and swimming pool will be replaced at their existing location, approximately 380 feet away from the nearest residence, and surrounded by the existing golf clubhouse, lake feature, and center tennis court. The new tennis clubhouse and pool will be oriented towards the site’s parking lot. Furthermore, the proposed project is not anticipated to generate any significant noise, traffic, parking or other impacts detrimental to surrounding properties and is consistent with the subject property’s zoning. The proposed amenities are ancillary to an approved commercial recreation use. With recommended conditions, the project will enhance the site and minimize potential impacts to adjacent properties. Urban Design Guidelines Conformance: The remodeled tennis clubhouse and proposed bungalows are designed to convey a high level of quality and character that incorporates quality materials and design , such as smooth plaster, board form concrete, metal accents, and standing seam metal and clay tile roofs, consistent with the City of Huntington Beach Urban Design Guidelines. Outdoor areas for the lofts and bungalows are designed to be oriented toward the recreational areas. Enhanced landscaping will beautify the site and complement existing conditions. Environmental Status: A review of the proposed project was conducted by EPD, a third-party environmental consultant. The review determined that the project will not have any significant effect on the environment and is documented in an Exemption Justification in Attachment No. 4. The project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15332, Infill Development, of the CEQA Guidelines as it is 77 consistent with the general plan and zoning designations, the project area is no more than five acres surrounded by urban uses, has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and can be adequately served by al l required utilities and public services. Coastal Status: The project involves the removal and replacement of an existing clubhouse and swimming pool along with the construction of new lofts and detached bungalows for lodging purposes ancillary to an existing golf and tennis club. The site is located within the non- appealable area of the Coastal Zone. The proposed project is subject to the requirements of HBZSO Chapter 245, and a Coastal Development Permit is required. Design Review Board: The Design Review Board reviewed the design, colors, and materials of the project at the October 9, 2025, regular meeting and recommend approval to the Planning Commission as proposed. Other Departments Concerns and Requirements: Public Works, Building, Fire, and Planning staff reviewed the proposed project and identified code requirements applicable to the project.

THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. WITH NO ONE PRESENT TO SPEAK, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. A MOTION WAS MADE BY GOLDBERG, SECONDED BY BABINEAU, TO FIND THE PROPOSED PROJECT CONSISTENT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 17-001 APPROVED AND CERTIFIED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON JANUARY 19, 2021, AND APPROVED TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 19331, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 25-005 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 25-003, WITH SUGGESTED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Pellman, Bush, Thienes, Babineau, McGee, Palmer, Goldberg NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None MOTION APPROVED FINDINGS FOR PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM CEQA: The Planning Commission determines that the proposed project is covered by the Magnolia Tank Farm Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report No. 17-001, which was adopted by the City of Huntington Beach City Council on January 19, 2021. Furthermore, implementation of the project would not result in any new or more severe potentially adverse environmental impacts that were not considered in the certified EIR and the project is required to comply with all applicable EIR No. 17-001 mitigation measures. Considering the whole record, none of the circumstances described under Section 15162 of CEQA Guidelines are present; and therefore, no EIR or MND is required. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - TENTATIVE MAP NO. 19331: 1. Tentative Tract Map (TTM) No. 19331 to subdivide a 29-acre site into seven lettered lots and six numbered lots is consistent with the General Plan land use designations of Open Space Conservation – Specific Plan Overlay, Open Space Park – Specific Plan Overlay, Commercial Visitor – Specific Plan Overlay, and Residential Medium – Specific Plan Overlay and zoning designation of MTF (Magnolia Tank Farm) Specific Plan on the subject property, applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act, and the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO). The TTM complies with all development standards set forth in the MTF Specific Plan and HBZSO. 82 PC Minutes January 27,2026 Page 4 26pcm0127 2. The site is physically suitable for future development as envisioned by the subject property’s General Plan and zoning designations which regulate all future development. Lots A through F are all open space parcels, and Lot G is the private street. Lots 1 through 5 subdivide the residential area into five separate parcels. Lot 6 is the commercial visitor parcel. The proposed subdivision of the 13 lots, along with the import of soil and grading to address projected sea level rise will comply with the requirements of the General Plan, the Magnolia Tank Farm Specific Plan, HBZSO, and other city requirements. 3. The proposed subdivision, the import of soil onto the site, and the proposed onsite and offsite street and infrastructure improvements will not cause serious health problems or substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat because the property was previously developed with oil tanks, is currently used as a parking lot, and is void of any wildlife habitat. Offsite improvements include curb, gutter, sidewalk and pavement along Magnolia Street and Hamilton Avenue. Compliance with regulatory requirements and mitigation measures will ensure that the subdivision will not cause serious health problems or substantial environmental damage. 4. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision unless alternative easements for access or for use will be provided. The subdivision will provide all necessary vehicular access, sidewalk, and utility easements to serve future development. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 25-005: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 25-005 to grade the site with approximately 133,425 cubic yards of imported soil and construct a retaining wall up to 10 feet tall topped with a seven-foot-tall wall along the north property line 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 import of soil onto the site is required to address projected sea level rise as required in the Magnolia Tank Farm Specific Plan. The project will comply with EIR mitigation measures and City codes including the Noise Ordinance. The haul truck routes will avoid neighborhoods and local streets. Trucks will enter and exit the south driveway at the signalized intersection of Banning Avenue and Magnolia Street to Pacific Coast Highway and Beach Boulevard. The existing site elevation ranges from approximately 4.3 feet to 12.5 feet, with an average elevation of 8.4 feet. Pursuant to the Specific Plan, the site wi ll be graded to an average elevation of 11.3 feet. It will gradually slope up west and north towards the Ascon site. The construction of a retaining wall along the north property line will be necessary to protect the increased fill and grade differential. It will retain approximately between five feet and 10 feet of fill, as measured from the north side of the wall and will be topped with an approximately seven-foot-tall wall. The design of the wall will comply with the City’s Urban Design Guidelines, incorporating a stucco finish, pilasters, and elevated landscape planters. Along the Ascon property, the wall will consist of a stucco finish and pilasters. A vegetated slope will be established on the Ascon property at the completion of the remediation. Additionally, the nearest residential development is buffered by Magnolia Street and will not be visually impacted by the new wall and grading operations. 2. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 25-005 to grade the site with approximately 133,425 cubic yards of imported soil and construct a retaining wall up to 10 feet tall topped with a seven-foot-tall wall along the north property line will not adversely affect the General Plan because the project is consistent with the General Plan land use designations of Open Space Conservation – Specific Plan Overlay, Open Space Park – Specific Plan Overlay, Commercial Visitor – Specific Plan Overlay, and Residential Medium – Specific Plan Overlay 83 PC Minutes January 27,2026 Page 5 26pcm0127 on the subject site. The proposed project is also consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies: A. Land Use Element Goal LU-1 – New commercial, industrial, and residential development is coordinated to ensure that the land use pattern is consistent with the overall goals and needs of the community. Policy LU-1A - Ensure that development is consistent with the land use designations presented in the Land Use Map, including density, intensity, and use standards applicable to each land use designation. Policy LU-1B - Ensure new development supports the protection and maintenance of environmental and open space resources. The proposed project will begin to implement the General Plan and zoning designations for the site enabling future development of lodging, visitor serving commercial, residential, and open space to serve residents and visitors. As required by the Specific Plan, the site must be raised to comply with sea level rise along with grading of the site to prepare for future development. B. Natural and Environmental Hazards Goal HAZ-2 – Coastal environments accommodate coastal changes and reduce coastal development impacts. Policy HAZ-2B – Implement priority measures to reduce and mitigate sea level rise impacts to property and infrastructure outlined in the Coastal Resiliency Program. As required by the MTF Specific Plan, the site must comply with its associated Sea Level Rise Study by elevating the property to a minimum elevation of 11.3 feet. To meet this requirement, approximately 133,425 cubic yards of soil will be imported to the site and graded to support future development. C. Coastal Element Policy C 1.1.4 - Where feasible, locate visitor-serving commercial uses in existing developed areas or at selected points of attraction for visitors. Goal C 2 - Provide coastal resource access opportunities for the public where feasible and in accordance with the California Coastal Act requirements. Policy C 2.2.2 - Maintain existing pedestrian facilities and require new development to provide pedestrian walkways and bicycle routes between developments. Objective C 2.4 - Balance the supply of parking with the demand for parking. Policy C 2.4.7 - The streets of new residential subdivisions between the sea and the first public road shall be constructed and maintained as open to the general public for vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian access. General public parking shall be provided on all streets throughout the entire subdivision. Private entrance gates and private streets shall be prohibited. All public entry controls (e.g. gates, gate/guard houses, guards, signage, etc.) and restrictions on use 84 PC Minutes January 27,2026 Page 6 26pcm0127 by the general public (e.g. preferential parking districts, resident-only parking periods/permits, etc.) associated with any streets or parking areas shall be prohibited. Objective C 2.5 - Maintain and enhance, where feasible, existing shoreline and coastal resource access sites. Policy C 2.6.6 - Promote public access to coastal wetlands for limited nature study, passive recreation and other low intensity uses that are compatible with the sensitive nature of these areas. Goal C 3 - Provide a variety of recreational and visitor commercial serving uses for a range of cost and market preferences. Policy C 3.2.4 - Encourage the provision of a variety of visitor- serving commercial establishments within the Coastal Zone, including, but not limited to, shops, restaurants, hotels and motels, and day spas. Policy C 4.1.2 - Designate lands for the provision of passive and visual open space on the Coastal Land Use Map, which provide a balance to the urban and suburban development of the Coastal Zone. Policy C 4.7 - Improve the appearance of visually degraded areas within the Coastal Zone. Policy C 7.1.4 - Require that new development contiguous to wetlands or environmentally sensitive habitat areas include buffer zones. Buffer zones shall be a minimum of one hundred feet setback from the landward edge of the wetland. The proposed project will begin to implement the General Plan and zoning designations for the site enabling future development of lodging, visitor serving commercial, residential, and open space to serve residents and visitors. 3. The proposed project to grade the site with approximately 133,425 cubic yards of imported soil and construct a retaining wall up to 10 feet tall topped with a seven-foot-tall wall along the north property line will comply with the provisions of the MTF Specific Plan and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the HBZSO because raising the site to address sea level rise is required under the MTF Specific Plan and requires a Conditional Use Permit due to the import of more than 25,000 cubic yards of soil. As a result of the imported fill, the approval of a CUP is also required for the retaining wall along the north property line. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL – COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 25-003: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 25-003 for the proposed subdivision, demolition, grading, walls and to construct all onsite and offsite street and infrastructure improvements conforms with the City’s Local Coastal Program, which encourages new housing, comm ercial visitor and open space development to locate within, contiguous to or in close proximity to existing developed areas able to accommodate it. The proposed project will prepare the existing vacant lot for future development in compliance with the adopted MTF Specific Plan. 2. Coastal Development Permit No. 25-003 for the proposed subdivision, demolition, grading, walls and to construct all onsite and offsite street and infrastructure improvements is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the MTF Specific Plan, the HBZSO, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code because the project will 85 PC Minutes January 27,2026 Page 7 26pcm0127 comply with all applicable requirements of the MTF Specific Plan to prepare the lot for future development. 3. At the time of future development and occupancy, all infrastructure will be in place consistent with the Local Coastal Program because Coastal Development Permit No. 25-003 for the subdivision, demolition, grading, walls and to construct all onsite and offsite street and infrastructure improvements is located in an urbanized area and all necessary services and infrastructure will be available, including water, sewer, and roadways. 4. Coastal Development Permit No. 25-003 for the proposed subdivision, demolition, grading, walls and to construct all onsite and offsite street and infrastructure improvements conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act in that the project will not impede but will enhance public access, recreation, or views to coastal resources.

A MOTION WAS MADE BY GOLDBERG, SECONDED BY MCGEE, TO FIND FIND THE PROPOSED PROJECT CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO SECTION 15332, CLASS 32; AND; APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 22-011 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 22-009 WITH SUGGESTED FINDINGS AND MODIFIED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO RESTRICT BUNGALOW RENTAL TO CLUB MEMBERS AND TO EXPLORE ADDITIONAL LIGHTING ON REMAINING TENNIS COURTS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Pellman, Bush, Thienes, Babineau, McGee, Palmer, Goldberg NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None MOTION APPROVED 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 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. The Project meets all conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15332(a) through (e) pertaining to in-fill development projects (Class 32 categorical exemption): (a) The Project is consistent with all applicable general plan designations and policies, as well as applicable zoning designations and regulations; (b) the Project occurs entirely within City of Huntington Beach limits on a 2.46-acre portion of the project site and is surrounded by urban uses; (c) the Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; (d) approval of the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and (e) the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. Therefore, the Project qualifies for Class 32 exemption and is categorically exempt under Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. 91 PC Minutes January 27,2026 Page 13 26pcm0127 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL – CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 22-011: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 22-011 is a request to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility including removing and replacing a swimming pool, two-story tennis clubhouse (12,046 sq. ft.) at an overall height of 30 ft.-8 in., parking and landscaping and removing four tennis courts. The request also includes the construction of four single-story detached bungalow structures (ranging from 883 sq. ft. to 1,865 sq. ft.) at an overall height of 17 ft.-3 in. and two loft units (3,036 sq. ft. and 1,173 sq. ft.) proposed on the second floor of the new tennis clubhouse for lodging for club members and 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 as the proposed use will be within an existing private golf and tennis club facility. The proposed project is not anticipated to generate any significant noise, traffic, parking or other impacts detrimental to surrounding properties and is consistent with the subject property’s zoning. The proposed amenities are ancillary to an approved commercial recreation use. The design of the tennis clubhouse incorporates contemporary architecture with a combination of façade breaks and architectural elements and materials that provide visual interest such as smooth plaster, contrasting concrete and metal accents, and a standing seam metal roof. The bungalows include similar materials with a modern Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style, clay tile roofs, and primarily smooth plaster façade finish. The shared materials will complement the new buildings with the existing golf clubhouse. New landscaping and net additional 32 parking spaces will enhance the recreational facility. The proposed bungalows will replace four tennis court areas and along with the lofts provide short-term accommodations for members and their guests during club events as an additional amenity to the club. Furthermore, the nearest residence is approximately 75 feet away from the nearest bungalow and more than 100 feet away from the nearest parking space. To minimize potential noise impacts during nighttime hours, the project is conditioned to post signage restricting visitors from congregating outside of the bungalows during nighttime hours and provide onsite club personnel/security to patrol and enforce quiet hours. The new tennis clubhouse/fitness center and swimming pool will be replaced at their existing location, approximately 380 feet away from the nearest residence, and surrounded by the existing golf clubhouse, lake feature, and center tennis court. The new tennis clubhouse and pool will be oriented towards the site’s parking lot. The project will enhance the site and support the continuation of an existing commercial recreation use. 2. The granting of Conditional Use Permit No. 22-011 to remodel a portion of an existing private golf and tennis club facility (The Huntington Club) and add new lofts and bungalows as ancillary amenity will not adversely affect the General Plan because it is consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Open Space-Recreation (OS-R) on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals 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. 92 PC Minutes January 27,2026 Page 14 26pcm0127 Policy LU-1 (D): Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale, and character to complement adjoining uses. Policy LU-14 (B): Encourage both coastal and inland visitor-serving uses to offer a wide spectrum of opportunities for residents and visitors. Noise Element Policy N-1 (A): Maintain acceptable stationary noise levels at existing noise-sensitive land uses such as schools, residential areas, and open spaces. Environmental Resources and Conservation Element Policy ERC-2 (D): Encourage and coordinate with private commercial recreational businesses to provide recreational services and facilities that may not otherwise be offered by the City. The proposed development will continue the land use pattern of open space-recreation uses in the surrounding area. The new tennis clubhouse and pool will be updated and located in their existing locations. The new clubhouse will remain two stories and will be similar in height with surrounding properties. The new bungalows will also be compatible in height, proportion, scale, and character with the neighborhood and similar existing recreational uses on-site. The buildings feature quality architecture and exterior finish materials, and the functional site layout integrates landscape improvements with adequate vehicular and pedestrian circulation. The existing private golf and tennis club will continue to operate as originally approved. The new units for short-term accommodation will be an additional amenity offered to members of the private club and conditioned to be limited to members and their guests to ensure the development remains compatible with the surrounding uses and compliant with the General Plan and zoning designations. In addition to conditions of approval, adequate distances between new structures and adjacent residential uses are provided to sufficiently buffer and minimize potential impacts on noise-sensitive uses. Site upgrades will support the club’s operations in providing amenities to residents and visitors that promote recreational uses within the coastal zone. 3. Conditional Use Permit No. 22-011 to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility and add new lofts and bungalows 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 because the OS-PR zoning designation allows for commercial recreational uses with the approval of a conditional use permit. The proposed improvements will be located within the premises of an existing commercial recreation facility and conforms to applicable site development standards, including landscaping, setbacks, height, and parking. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 22-009: 1. Coastal Development Permit No. 22-009 is a request to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility including removing and replacing a swimming pool, two-story tennis clubhouse building at an overall height of 30 ft.-8 in., parking and landscaping and removing four tennis court areas (three tennis courts and one outdoor event space). The request also includes the construction of four single-story detached bungalow structures (ranging from 883 sq. ft. to 1,865 sq. ft.) at an overall height of 17 ft.-3 in. and two loft units (3,036 sq. ft. and 1,173 sq. ft.) proposed on the second floor of the new tennis clubhouse as short-term accommodation for club members and conforms with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program because the project is consistent with Coastal Element Policy C.1.1.1, which 93 PC Minutes January 27,2026 Page 15 26pcm0127 encourages development within, or contiguous to or in close proximity to existing developed areas able to accommodate it. The project’s location would not result in an impact on open space recreational areas. Public services are currently available to the project site, as well as the surrounding parcels, and the project includes improvements to existing infrastructure to ensure adequate service after project implementation. 2. Coastal Development Permit No. 22-009 to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility and add new lofts and bungalows 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 the proposed project complies with applicable development regulations, including building setbacks, building height, parking, and landscaping. It is also consistent with the design guidelines and is compatible with the scale and transition of surrounding development. 3. At the time of occupancy, the proposed development to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility and add new lofts and bungalows can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Local Coastal Program as the proposed project will be constructed on a developed site in an urbanized area with all necessary services and infrastructure available, including water, sewer, and roadways. In addition, the project provides the necessary public improvements. 4. Coastal Development Permit No. 22-009 to remodel an existing private golf and tennis club facility and add new lofts and bungalows conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act because the proposed project will not impede public access and does not conflict with any public recreation policies by the provision of a development consistent with the City’s General Plan, Coastal Element, and HBZSO.

Response to Comment Letter 1: Elizabeth Hartman, January 20, 2026 Response to Comment I: Per HBZSO Chapter 204 and 213, accessory uses are limited to facilities incidental to an open space use. The proposed bungalows and lofts are incidental to the primary use which is the tennis and golf club, conditionally permitted as a commercial recreation use within the open space zone. Response to Comment II: The project proposes conditions of approval that address length and frequency of stay, occupancy limits, kitchen facilities and independent living features, and rental, leasing, or marketing practices. The conditions limit the bungalows and lofts to short term accommodation, limited to members and their guests, and prohibits conversion to residential. The primary use will remain a private tennis and golf club which has conditionally been permitted. This project will improve a major recreational facility within the city by adding additional amenities and upgrade existing structures/amenities in a manner that will allow the club to continue with their existing events while also benefiting club members and the surrounding neighborhood. Response to Comment III, III-A, III-B: This comment does not provide any substantial evidence that the Project would result in a significant environmental impact. CEQA is an environmental protection statute that is concerned with physical changes to the environment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15358(b)). The environment includes land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic significance (CEQA Guidelines Section 15360). The project merits, including any economic an d social effects of the project are not treated as effects on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064(e) and 15131(a)). Therefore, consistent with CEQA, the Class 32 includes an analysis of the project’s potentially significant physical impacts on the environment and does not include a discussion of economic harm. Additionally, the project would not displace recreational users to such an extent that existing public facilities would experience substantial overcrowding or physical degradation, nor would it necessitate the construction of new recreational facilities. The tennis courts are privately owned and operated amenities associated with a private club. CEQA does not require preservation or replacement of private recreational amenities absent a demonstrated physical environmental impact. No substantial evidence indicates that the project would result in increased use of public recreational facilities beyond their capacity or otherwise cause a physical environmental effect. Response to Comment IV: This comment does not provide any substantial evidence that the Project would result in a significant environmental impact. The Class 32 examined potential impacts related to traffic, noise, utilities, and public safety. Parking is not a CEQA issue. All project lighting would be designed to be shielded and directed downward, consistent with the City’s design standards and Municipal Code requirements. The project is served by all required utilities and public services and no expansion of offsite utility systems is required. Construction and operational noise impacts were determined to be less than significant. As shown in Table 3 of the Class 32 exemption, the existing tennis club and four tennis courts generates a total of 111 daily trips, with 6 trips during the AM peak hour and 12 trips during the PM peak hour. Comparatively, operation of the proposed Project would generate 48 daily trips including 3 trips during the AM peak hour and 4 trips during the PM peak hour. Therefore, as shown in Table 3 below, the proposed Project would generate 63 fewer net daily trips, including 3 fewer AM peak hour trips, and 8 fe wer PM peak hour trips (proposed Project minus existing). Thus, the project does not represent an intensification of use. 116103 Response to Comment V: The proposed project will not impede public access and does not conflict with any public recreation policies by the provision of a development consistent with the City’s General Plan, Coastal Element, and HBZSO. The site is privately owned and the development will not remove any recreation resources or affect public access. Response to Comment VI: The proposed short term accommodations will be an accessory use/amenity to the principal use, a private golf and tennis club. Conditions have been added to ensure that the principal use does not change and that the accessory use is compatible with the principal use and the surrounding neighborhood. Response to Comment VII. Speculative Revenue Stream: This comment does not provide any substantial evidence that the Project would result in a significant environmental impact. CEQA is an environmental protection statute that is concerned with physical changes to the environment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15358(b)). The environment includes land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic significance (CEQA Guidelines Section 15360). The project merits, including any economic and social effects of the project are not treated as effects on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064(e) and 15131(a)). Therefore, consistent with CEQA, the Class 32 includes an analysis of the project’s potentially significant physical impacts on the environment and does not include a discussion of economic harm. Response to Comment VIII. Suggested conditions have been provided to address these concerns. Please see response to Comment II. Response to Comment IX: This comment is conclusionary in nature and does not raise a specific issue with the adequacy of the Class 32. Because the comment does not express any specific concern or question regarding the adequacy of the Class 32, no further response is warranted. 117104 118105 From: To: Cc: Er'litbetb Hacrmao suopJementalcomm@surfcity;hb.org ttvlaod O?m:,n-r.

Improper Use of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) The project proposes four bungalows and two loft units intended for overnight stays of less than 30 days. This constitutes a lodging or quasi-hotel use, which is not a conditionally permitted use within the Open Space– Recreation (OS-PR) zoning district. A Conditional Use Permit may not lawfully be used to authorize a new or intensified land use that exceeds the zoning code. Approval of paid overnight lodging through a CUP would exceed the City’s administrative authority. 2. CEQA Class 32 Exemption Is Legally Inapplicable The City’s reliance on a Class 32 (In-Fill) CEQA exemption is inappropriate because: The addition of overnight lodging materially intensifies the use of the property The removal of four tennis courts alters the functional character of the site Proximity to residential uses creates potential environmental impacts The project may involve unusual circumstances under CEQA Guidelines §15300.2 CEQA requires evaluation of the whole of the 123110 action, based on how the project will actually operate, not how it is characterized. 3. Unequal Treatment Under Local Short- Term Rental Law Huntington Beach Municipal Code §5.120 prohibits residents from renting homes for periods of less than 30 days, except under narrow, express authorization. Allowing a private landowner or club to operate paid overnight accommodations under a CUP—while residents are prohibited from similar activity—creates unequal treatment under the law and undermines consistent enforcement of municipal regulations. 4. Risk of Ultra Vires Approval If the bungalows and lofts are constructed and monetized as paid overnight accommodations, approval through a CUP would constitute an ultra vires act—an action taken beyond the City’s legal authority— exposing the City to legal and CEQA challenge. PETITION REQUEST We respectfully request that the City of Huntington Beach: Deny the current CUP and CEQA exemption for the bungalows and lofts; or Require the applicant to pursue the appropriate zoning amendment or legislative entitlement; and Ensure any future consideration complies fully with CEQA, zoning law, and equal treatment principles. This petition is submitted to preserve the integrity of the City’s land use process, protect lawful zoning authority, and ensure fair and consistent application of municipal law. 124111 Name City

Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] To: City Clerk, City Attorney, Members of the Huntington Beach City Council, This email is submitted in advance of the upcoming City Council vote regarding matters involving or affecting the Huntington Club. It is intended to create a clear, formal record for the public and the Council. The submission combines a public comment-style disclosure request with a California Public Records Act (CPRA) request, and is made in a good-faith effort to ensure transparency, compliance with state and local law, and preservation of public confidence in Council decision-making. Public Comment / Disclosure Request Pursuant to the California Political Reform Act (Gov. Code §§ 81000–91014), including §§ 87100, 87103, and 87200, as well as applicable Huntington Beach City Charter and Municipal Code provisions regarding Council conduct, conflicts of interest, and disclosure, I respectfully request clarification and recordation on the following: 1. Whether any sitting City Council Member currently holds, or has within the past two years held, a membership at the Huntington Club. 2. If so, whether such memberships were obtained at full market rates, including initiation fees and dues, and whether any discounts, waivers, complimentary services, or other benefits were allegedly or potentially provided, to the extent any exist. 3. Whether any such relationships, to the extent they exist, have been properly disclosed on Form 700 filings and whether a conflict-of-interest analysis has been conducted to determine whether any Council Member with such a relationship may legally participate in this vote. 4. Whether any Council Member’s participation could reasonably foresee, allegedly or potentially, future financial benefits, privileges, or other emoluments arising from the Huntington Club or related entities. 5. Confirmation that appropriate recusals will be made, consistent with state law, FPPC regulations, and Huntington Beach Municipal Code / City Charter provisions, should any current or foreseeable interests exist. This request is not an allegation of wrongdoing, but a good-faith effort to ensure compliance with California law, preserve the integrity of the Council’s decision-making, and maintain public confidence. I respectfully request that any response be addressed on the record prior to the vote. 138125 CPRA Companion Request In addition, pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Gov. Code §§ 6250–6276.48), I request access to the following public records, to the extent they exist and are maintained by the City: 1. Form 700 Statements of Economic Interests for all current City Council Members, including any reporting of Huntington Club memberships, dues, or other benefits. 2. Internal communications, memoranda, or correspondence documenting conflict-of-interest determinations, recusals, or analyses regarding Council Members’ potential financial interests, memberships, or benefits related to the Huntington Club, consistent with Gov. Code §§ 87100, 87103 and FPPC Regulations 18700 and 18702.5. 3. Any records regarding the reasonable foreseeability of future benefits, privileges, or emoluments to any Council Member arising from the Huntington Club or related entities in connection with this agenda item, consistent with state law and City Charter / Municipal Code obligations. I respectfully request acknowledgment of receipt within 10 calendar days, consistent with Gov. Code § 6253(c), and a reasonable estimate for providing these records. If any portion of the records is withheld, please cite the specific statutory exemption relied upon. I request that any responsive records be provided electronically, if available, and included in the public record for this agenda item. Thank you for your attention to this request. Please contact me if clarification is required. Respectfully, Elizabeth Hartman t: 770-344-9236 Sent from my iPhone misspellings and all... 139126 1/13/2026 Project Description HUNTINGTON CLUB The New Tennis Clubhouse/Jr. Olympic Pool/Bungalows & Lofts VISION 1. A joint effort of the Golf and Tennis Clubs to create a world-class health and wellness center at The Huntington Club. 2. Replace the existing Tennis Clubhouse with a new Tennis Clubhouse that will consist of a Member’s Lounge, a Pro Shop, and a state-of-the-art Fitness Center & Spa, including a Strength and Cardio facility, Yoga Pavilion, cutting-edge Performance Therapy, Spa Treatments, and Locker Rooms. 3. Create 4 Bungalows & 2 Lofts, all with small kitchens, for Golf and Tennis members and guests of members. The 4 Bungalows are small stand-alone structures resembling casitas, while the 2 Lofts are located on the second story of the new Tennis Clubhouse. 4. Replace the existing pool with a new Junior Olympic pool, adjacent cabanas, and a jacuzzi. 5. Continue the vision of complimentary California coastal architectural styles and appropriate related building materials incorporated into those various architectural styles. 1 127 □ 1/13/2026 Project Description PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Huntington Club’s 143-acres are currently comprised of the existing Golf Club and Tennis Club facilities with zoning and General Plan designations of “Recreational Open Space.” The proposed project consists of a new two-story, 11,733 square foot Tennis Clubhouse, 4 stand-alone casitas referred to as Bungalows, and a new Junior Olympic sized swimming pool, complete with a jacuzzi and cabanas, all situated on the Tennis portion of the Club, which is also its own separate 5.49-acre parcel. The first story of the new Tennis Clubhouse is 7,540 square feet and will include a Fitness Center & Spa, Men’s and Women’s Locker Rooms, Yoga Pavilion, Performance Therapy, a Member’s Lounge, and a Pro Shop. The second story will contain 2 Lofts, which will serve as short-term overnight accommodations. One of the Lofts is a 3,035 square foot three-bedroom unit, while the other Loft is a 1,157 square foot one-bedroom unit. The 4 Bungalows are named Ojai, Casa Palmero, Rancho Valencia, and Mayacama. Ojai is a 797 square foot one-bedroom unit, Casa Palmero is an 826 square foot one-bedroom unit, Rancho Valencia is a 1,578 square foot two- bedroom unit, and Mayacama is 1,809 square foot three-bedroom unit with a 568 square foot outdoor great room. Like the Lofts, the Bungalows are designed for short-term overnight accommodations. A short-term rental, as intended in this project’s specific use and defined by Governmental Online Services (GovOS.com), is any stay less than a month. 2 128 □ 1/13/2026 Project Description The Bungalows & Lofts (6 total) are for Members and guests of Members. The Huntington Club already hosts weddings, golf tournaments and tennis tournaments, among other events. These events can range in size from 4-150 attendees. Since there is already on average an event every other day, including every weekend, there is no anticipated increase in the number or size of the events. The goal of the Bungalows & Lofts is to allow Members and their families the ability to stay on site of the event they are attending and in close proximity to the other family they may have in SeaCliff, rather than stay off property at the Hyatt or Kimpton Hotels in Huntington Beach or even out of the City entirely. The Bungalows & Lofts would allow the Club to capture additional revenue from events that are already being hosted on site and would improve upon an existing recreation facility by adding additional amenities and additional opportunity for visitors to enjoy the site beyond just single-day experiences. The Bungalows & Lofts are projected to have an average occupancy rate of 50%. We recently obtained approval for a similar project at Spanish Hills Club in Camarillo, where we have the same Tenant, Travis Brasher and Camaraderie Clubs, as we do at The Huntington Club. This exact same idea can also be found at some of the most prestigious golf clubs in the world, like Augusta, where the Masters are played. There are an additional 33 parking spaces in the proposed Project and all parking is in common with The Huntington Club, which already has 295 parking spaces. In order to ensure there is limited noise during nighttime hours, the Project will post signage restricting visitors congregating outside of the Bungalows during 129 1/13/2026 Project Description nighttime hours. Additionally, personnel will be available to enforce the quiet hours and patrol the property. Lastly, the site has been designed such that the parking past the newly relocated sliding gate will not be able to be accessed during quiet hours by anyone other than guests of the Bungalows and Lofts, thus minimizing any parking lot noise associated with the project near surrounding residences. Therefore, the project will not generate a significant noise increase to surrounding noise sensitive uses. The approved and the proposed Project are consistent with and supportive of the policies and goals of the Land Use Element of the General Plan and Local Coastal Plan. The intent of this application is not to make the Huntington Club into a resort. The use will remain a Member’s Only Club as it is today. It is also anticipated that the new components introduced by the proposed Project will fall under the greater umbrella and operation of the Huntington Club. 130 1/13/2026 Project Description BENEFITS TO CITY 1. Generates approximately $500,000 of annual tax revenue to the City, which will likely grow significantly over the years. 2. Stimulates additional revenue for Huntington Beach merchants. 3. Preserves and enhances the iconic Club with much-needed new amenities like the Pool and Fitness Center & Spa and increases the Club’s appeal to families and out of town Members. 4. Enhances visual aesthetic of the Club and surrounding residences, increasing the desirability of the area and property values. 5. Implements the vision of the General Plan. 3 131 □ ATTACHMENT NO. 9 The Class 32 Exemption Justification can be found here: https://www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/business_detail_ T9_R680.php 132 VICINITY MAP CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 22-011/COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 22-009 (HUNTINGTON CLUB REMODEL AND BUNGALOWS) PROJECT AREA 133 I INJ>WIA.POUS I • A11ANTA • IA!OONG I I Department of Community Development Office: (714) 536 – 5271 | 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 | www.huntingtonbeachca.gov January 5, 2026 Jonathan Bailey Golf Realty Fund 1 Upper Newport Plaza Newport Beach, CA 92660 SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 22-011/COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 22-009 (HUNTINGTON CLUB REMODEL AND BUNGALOWS) Dear Jonathan, In order to assist you with your development proposal, staff has reviewed the project and identified applicable city policies, standard plans, and development and use requirements, excerpted from the City of Huntington Beach Zoning & Subdivision Ordinance and Municipal Codes.

Bolling Managing Partner jbolling@epggblaw.com P a g e | 1 April 10, 2026 SENT VIA EMAIL Huntington Beach City Council 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Email: City.Council@surfcity-hb.org Re: April 21, 2026 Hearing re The Huntington Club Remodel and Bungalows Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council, I submit this letter in two capacities: (1) as pro bono counsel to appellants Cheryl Gates, Susan Ridgeway, and Douglas Scott Warren; and (2) as a current member of The Huntington Club with a direct interest in the continued availability and character of its facilities. I am an active golf and tennis member of the Club, and my family and I regularly participate in its athletic programs. To summarize, Golf Realty Fund has a reported contractual obligation of approximately $10 million to $15 million to complete improvements at the Club. In structuring that arrangement, Golf Realty Fund retained control over the buildout, positioning itself to convert that obligation into an additional revenue stream through hotel-like lodging for “members and their guests.” At the most recent hearing, Golf Realty Fund implied that it does not need that additional revenue to fund the renovations; it simply seeks an additional revenue stream from the property. Standing alone, that economic choice would not necessarily be problematic. The problem is the particular plan Golf Realty Fund has chosen to pursue. As proposed, it introduces serious safety risks for Club members and their families. Members and their children move constantly through this area—circulating among the courts, the pool, the fitness center, and food service locations—often in unpredictable patterns that are inherent to an active recreational environment. The proposed design forces those same children to cross an internal roadway serving both lodging-related traffic and everyday member vehicle traffic, as members will naturally use that area for convenient parking in the more than thirty new parking spaces located directly adjacent to the tennis and pickleball courts. The plan therefore concentrates vehicle traffic in the exact space where children and families are moving on foot. This creates a direct and foreseeable conflict between vehicles and pedestrians. That risk is compounded by the nature of the proposed use, which will introduce guest traffic, ride-share 168 Orange County Office 3200 Bristol Street, Suite 400 Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (714) 292-0262 epggblaw.com Jesse K. Bolling Managing Partner jbolling@epggblaw.com P a g e | 2 activity, deliveries, and the potential for alcohol-related driving into the same space where children are playing and moving freely. The foreseeable result is not minor or theoretical—it is the risk of serious injury in a setting that has always functioned as a protected recreational environment. Up until now, Golf Realty Fund has asked the Council to allow that plan to proceed without the benefit of a comprehensive safety study, ostensibly because its contractual deadline to complete these improvements will expire in early May 2026. That private timing pressure is no substitute for a complete and reliable public record, particularly where the safety of Huntington Beach families who use what many regard as the City’s crown jewel is at stake. More time is needed to determine whether this design can be made safe. Without that work, approval would expose Golf Realty Fund, its tenant, and the City of Huntington Beach to substantial liability if a member—or worse, a child—is injured. In good faith discussions between the Appellants and Golf Realty Fund, the concept of a comprehensive safety study has been raised. Golf Realty Fund appears amenable to conducting such a study, but there remains a critical procedural issue. It is my understanding that Golf Realty Fund prefers that the safety study be imposed along with approval of the plan. We respectfully submit that this approach is improper under the circumstances and should be rejected. The Council should instead retain jurisdiction over this matter and require completion of the safety study before any approval is granted. The Appellants’ ability to advocate on behalf of the Club’s membership is tied to this appeal. As a non-equity club, members do not control the property; their voice is exercised through this process and through the Council’s oversight. If the project is approved subject to later study, that voice is effectively extinguished, and future decisions regarding safety, design, and implementation will be left to private entities whose interests may not align with those of the citizens most directly affected. Moreover, the Council cannot make the required findings in support of approval without first establishing, based on substantial evidence, that the project can be operated safely. Nor may the Council defer that determination to a future study, as doing so would leave a critical component of the approval unsupported by the administrative record at the time of decision. Where material safety concerns remain unresolved, approval would be premature because the record would not contain substantial evidence sufficient to support the findings required for a Conditional Use Permit. Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request that the Council continue this hearing for at least 60 days so that the proposed plan can be more fully evaluated, particularly in light of the serious safety concerns created by placing a roadway with significant parking capacity in the middle of the Club’s tennis and pickleball facilities. The Council should direct Golf Realty Fund to conduct a comprehensive safety study by an independent consultant approved by the Council 169 Orange County Office 3200 Bristol Street, Suite 400 Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (714) 292-0262 epggblaw.com Jesse K. Bolling Managing Partner jbolling@epggblaw.com P a g e | 3 and Appellants. Once completed, that study should be circulated for review and comment, and only then should the Council determine whether the project, as proposed, is safe enough for approval. 1. The factual background demonstrates no evaluation of safety concerns amid contractual time pressure and a breakdown between owner and operator. The factual statements set forth in this letter are based on a combination of publicly available materials and information obtained through discussions with individuals represented to have knowledge of the operations, agreements, and history of the Club. Except where expressly supported by cited documents or witnessed by me or my clients, these statements are provided on an informational basis only. I therefore do not present these statements as adjudicated fact, but rather as contextual background to assist the Council in understanding the circumstances surrounding the proposed project. • The entity operating the Club, Camaraderie Clubs, is led by Travis Brasher, who previously served as a golf professional at the Club when it operated under its former name, Seacliff Country Club. Mr. Brasher founded the Travis Mathew apparel brand, which was later sold, and has since returned, now as the tenant overseeing operations at the Club, rebranding it as The Huntington Club. • Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Camaraderie Clubs entered into a long-term lease agreement—reported to be approximately 30 years in duration—with the property owner, Golf Realty Fund, under which it operates the Club. • As part of that long-term lease arrangement, both Camaraderie Clubs and Golf Realty Fund are understood to have contemplated and committed to significant capital improvements to the Club’s infrastructure in recognition of the age and condition of the existing facilities. • Camaraderie Clubs has invested substantial capital into the Club, reported to be in the range of approximately $8 million to $10 million. • Golf Realty Fund, as property owner, is likewise understood to have committed to a significant capital contribution toward redevelopment of the property, reported to be in the range of approximately $10 million to $15 million, none of which has yet been deployed. The lease or related agreements reportedly include a deadline for completion of those improvements in early May 2026. Based on that reported deadline, Golf Realty Fund appears to be under substantial time pressure to obtain approvals and move the project forward. 170 Orange County Office 3200 Bristol Street, Suite 400 Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (714) 292-0262 epggblaw.com Jesse K. Bolling Managing Partner jbolling@epggblaw.com P a g e | 4 •The proposed project includes demolition and replacement of fitness and swimming facilities, as well as the addition of new structures, including bungalow units, loft-style accommodations, and related site improvements. More specifically, the project includes (i) conversion or construction of second-floor space within a proposed fitness facility into loft-style accommodations and (ii) construction of detached bungalow-style units on the property. The project would also eliminate three lit tennis courts used for nighttime play and divide the tennis and pickleball facilities with a large internal road serving the bungalow component, including more than thirty parking spaces located within that internal circulation area. •Golf Realty Fund also submitted an alternative concept involving the addition of a third story to the fitness facility without including the bungalow lodging component. According to information provided by a City employee, that submission was marked “Incomplete” because it did not contain sufficient detail to determine whether it complied with applicable height limitations. Even if that proposal ultimately raised height- compliance issues, the City retains discretion to evaluate whether such limitations could be addressed or modified through appropriate planning mechanisms. A plan without an internal roadway through the recreational core, therefore, is theoretically possible. •At a presentation by Golf Realty Fund to Club members on Friday, January 23, 2026, at which Camaraderie Clubs was absent, a representative of Golf Realty Fund told members that revenue from the bungalow component was necessary to fund reconstruction of the pool and fitness improvements. Golf Realty Fund has also provided the City with aggressive revenue projections for these rental units, particularly in light of the competition from multiple high-end beachfront hotels in the area. In subsequent representations to the City Council, however, Golf Realty Fund indicated that it has sufficient financial resources to build and maintain the proposed improvements even if those revenue projections were not realized. Those two positions are difficult to reconcile and bear directly on whether the bungalow component is truly necessary or instead an added revenue stream being pursued despite the costs it imposes. •I received a written communication distributed by Camaraderie Clubs to Club members dated February 7, 2026 (Exhibit A). In that communication, Camaraderie Clubs expressly states that it “has no financial interest or contractual obligation to manage the bungalows and loft apartments proposed by Golf Realty Fund.” •The same communication also alludes to the statements made by Golf Realty Fund during its town hall meeting with Club members concerning the proposed project. At that meeting, Golf Realty Fund stated that members were “free to speak with [their] wallets” in response to the proposed changes. 171 Orange County Office 3200 Bristol Street, Suite 400 Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (714) 292-0262 epggblaw.com Jesse K. Bolling Managing Partner jbolling@epggblaw.com P a g e | 5 • The February 7, 2026 communication further clarifies that Camaraderie Clubs does not endorse that statement and distinguishes its operational role from that of the property owner with respect to the proposed development. • It is anticipated that, if the contemplated redevelopment obligations are not satisfied within the early May 2026 timeframe, a dispute between landlord and tenant may arise, potentially resulting in litigation. This point is noted solely to provide context regarding the relationship between landlord and tenant, which, from my perspective, is troubling. • In negotiations among the parties, there has been a general refusal to have all sides sit down together to resolve their issues. Golf Realty Fund has asserted that Camaraderie Clubs contractually agreed to limit or waive its ability to object to certain aspects of the redevelopment plan, including the bungalow component. I have learned nothing that contradicts that assertion. At the town hall meeting, Golf Realty Fund flashed a specific portion of the lease when making that point to members, but I was not provided with a sufficient opportunity to review that provision in full. Further, Appellants’ suggestion that a thorough dialogue among all the affected parties would be the best course toward resolution has been dismissed. 2. Golf Realty Fund proposes an unsafe conflict zone within the Club’s recreational core that introduces high-traffic areas into the center of club facilities visited daily by families. The plans submitted to the City do not merely remodel a private club. They change the way this entire recreational area would function on a daily basis. Instead of keeping vehicular circulation at the perimeter, the proposed design pulls vehicle movement into the same part of the site where members and their families naturally move back and forth between the tennis courts, the pickleball courts, the bungalow area, the food truck location, and the pool and fitness complex. That matters because this part of the Club is not a static space. It is one of the most active family areas on the property. During a recent tennis tournament, I watched my own three children—ages 8, 6, and 3—consistently move among the courts, the fitness center, the pool, and the food truck area. Children were running back and forth for smoothies, food, and breaks between matches. Parents and members were doing the same thing. That pattern of movement is not unusual; it is exactly how this area of the Club is actually used. The City would never design one of its own recreational spaces this way. In publicly used Huntington Beach recreation areas, vehicular circulation is kept at the edges, while the interior is reserved for fields, courts, trails, playgrounds, and gathering space. That is not accidental. It 172 173 Orance County Office 3200 Bristol Street, Su ite 400 Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (714) 292-0262 epggblaw.com Jesse K.

By Golf Realty Fund’s own later account, it does not need this additional revenue stream to construct and maintain the facilities. If that is true, then the question for the Council is not whether more revenue would be desirable. The question is whether this added safety risk is worth the cost. It is not. The concern becomes even more serious because Camaraderie Clubs has already stated that it will not manage the lodging facilities. That means a third party will do so. A third-party lodging operation brings with it its own traffic patterns: guest arrivals and departures, deliveries, rideshare traffic, off-site food runs, and trips for alcohol and other services that are not necessarily integrated with Club operations, including when dining facilities are closed (e.g. Mondays). These risks are compounded by the fact that members themselves will use the same internal circulation area for parking and access to the tennis and pickleball facilities, further increasing vehicle volume in the same environment where children and members are walking and running between athletic and pool facilities. And in each and every one of these scenarios, the Council should assume alcohol will be consumed. The timing of this application only heightens the concern. Golf Realty Fund appears to be trying to push this project through because it is running out of time under its own contractual obligations, which may expose it to financial consequences. But a private deadline is not a legal basis to shortcut public safety review. The fact that the owner may feel urgency is a reason for the Council to slow down, not a reason to approve an incomplete and under-analyzed design. A comprehensive, independent safety study must be completed. At a minimum, that study should evaluate pedestrian circulation, child movement patterns, vehicle conflict points, visibility and sightlines, construction-phase hazards, and the operational risks associated with the bungalow and loft component. Without that work, approval would be premature. The City would never route an internal lodging-access road through one of its own active recreational spaces without rigorous safety analysis. It should not permit that result here simply because the project is privately proposed. The stakes are high. If a child is struck by a vehicle in a conflict zone the plans themselves create, the resulting liability exposure would be extraordinary. As a trial lawyer, I view the owner, the operator, and the City as the approving authority as obvious defendants in that scenario, and the exposure could exceed $100 million in a catastrophic injury case. That outcome is not worth a minor, unnecessary revenue stream. And it can only even be argued to be worth the risk if a comprehensive safety study is done first. 175 Orange County Office 3200 Bristol Street, Suite 400 Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (714) 292-0262 epggblaw.com Jesse K.

The proposed plan will have additional adverse effects on the Club’s tennis program and daily operations, and if the back courts are not lit, tennis will wither at the Club. Beyond the serious safety concerns addressed above, the proposed project would also materially impair the Club’s tennis and pickleball program and its broader day-to-day operations. First, the project threatens the viability of nighttime tennis at the Club. As the proposed plan makes clear, the six back courts at the far western end of the property become critically important if three existing lit courts are removed. If those back courts cannot be lit, the Club will effectively go from seven lit courts to only four. That reduction would fundamentally alter the Club’s evening tennis program and, in practical terms, could cause tennis at the Club to wither. Most notably, it would jeopardize some of the Club’s some of the most popular organized evening events, including Men’s Night and Ladies’ Night, where large groups of players participate in round-robin doubles. The junior program, which goes until 7:00 p.m. PST, would also be jeopardized. For many members, those events are the core of the Club’s tennis culture and one of the principal reasons they remain active members. Any loss of courts must be tethered to the back courts being capable of lawful nighttime use. At present, however, the problem is that the prior conditional use permit associated with those courts reportedly does not allow lighting because of their proximity to neighboring homes. (Exhibit B.) Golf Realty Fund appears to be exploring technological solutions to reduce light spill, but the practical reality remains the same: nearby homeowners would be looking at illuminated courts on a nightly basis. That issue should not be ignored or deferred. It should be confronted directly now because, without a realistic and enforceable solution, the project substantially diminishes the Club’s ability to function as a tennis facility. Second, the elimination of three tennis courts will materially affect daytime operations as well. The Club’s tennis program is not limited to casual drop-in use. It supports numerous teams, private lessons, daily junior programs, clinics, and organized member play throughout the week. While no club can honestly claim that every court is full at every hour of every day, that is not the standard. The relevant question is whether the reduction in court inventory will impair operations during the hours that matter most. It plainly will. Peak usage periods will be squeezed. Team practices and matches will be harder to schedule. Private instruction and junior programming will face greater competition for court time. The junior program in particular is a meaningful asset to the Club, run by a strong professional staff and designed to develop high- level young players. Orange County has already produced elite junior talent, and there is no reason that program should be diminished by a redevelopment plan that prioritizes lodging over courts. 176 Orange County Office 3200 Bristol Street, Suite 400 Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (714) 292-0262 epggblaw.com Jesse K. Bolling Managing Partner jbolling@epggblaw.com P a g e | 10 Third, Golf Realty Fund has represented that the courts will remain open during construction. On the present record, however, it is difficult to see how that can occur in a safe and functional way. The project already proposes to remove courts, insert internal circulation, and carry out major construction immediately adjacent to active recreational use. If the road and bungalow components were eliminated, there would at least be a greater possibility of preserving meaningful tennis operations during construction. But under the current design, the notion that children can safely attend junior camp, that coaches can conduct lessons, and that teams can play normally while roads are being paved and heavy construction is underway has not been substantiated. The Council should not simply assume that normal Club operations can continue through a prolonged and invasive construction process without a detailed, credible operational plan. Taken together, these impacts are not secondary or incidental. They go to the heart of what The Huntington Club is and how it functions. This is not merely a question of replacing old facilities with new ones. It is a question of whether the Club’s tennis community, junior development program, and nighttime member culture will survive the project in anything like their present form. On the current record, there is substantial reason to doubt that they will. 4. The City’s Zoning Code does not allow people to sleep overnight in recreational space. The Council’s discretion under the Conditional Use Permit process is not unlimited. A CUP is not a blank check to authorize any use the City wishes to allow based on generalized notions of “good cause.” Under the Huntington Beach Zoning Code, a CUP may be granted only where the Council can make the required findings, including that the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and all applicable requirements of the Municipal Code. Most importantly, the Council must be able to find that the proposed use will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code. If those findings cannot be made, denial is required. That requirement has procedural consequences here. The Council must be able to support each required finding with substantial evidence in the administrative record at the time of approval. Where material issues—such as whether the project can be operated safely—remain unresolved, the Council cannot defer that determination to a future study. Absent substantial evidence demonstrating that the project can be operated safely, the Council cannot make the findings necessary to approve the Conditional Use Permit. That is the core issue here. The subject property is in the OS-PR district. Huntington Beach’s zoning regulations provide that uses not listed in a district’s land use controls are prohibited. In OS-PR, “Park & Recreation Facilities” may be allowed with a CUP, and certain 177 Orange County Office 3200 Bristol Street, Suite 400 Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (714) 292-0262 epggblaw.com Jesse K. Bolling Managing Partner jbolling@epggblaw.com P a g e | 11 ancillary uses may be permitted in limited form, but the Code does not separately list general lodging or visitor accommodations as an authorized OS-PR use. From a legal perspective, the threshold question, therefore, is not whether the bungalow and loft component may be desirable or financially beneficial. The threshold question is whether that lodging component is actually an authorized use in OS-PR at all. The City’s own use-classification scheme sharpens that issue. Huntington Beach distinguishes between “Clubs and Lodges,” on the one hand, and “Visitor Accommodations,” on the other. “Clubs and Lodges” are recreational or social facilities primarily for members or guests. “Visitor Accommodations” are separately defined lodging uses, including hotels, motels, and similar short-term occupancy arrangements. The Code thus does not treat private club use and overnight lodging use as interchangeable. They are different use categories. That distinction matters here because the proposed bungalow and loft component appears, in substance, to function as a lodging use rather than merely as part of the Club’s traditional recreational operations. Accordingly, if the City’s position is that the bungalow and loft component constitutes a lodging or visitor-accommodation use, then the Council should identify precisely where that use is permitted or conditionally permitted in OS-PR. If the City’s position is instead that the lodging component is merely accessory or incidental to the recreational use, then the Council should explain how overnight accommodations are truly subordinate to, and customarily associated with, the principal recreational use of the site, rather than a separate revenue-generating use added to the property. Either way, the Council must still make the finding that the project complies with the base district. A CUP does not eliminate that requirement. There is a further problem. The Huntington Beach Code contemplates that, if a proposed use cannot be clearly classified within an existing use category, the answer is not simply to approve it by CUP anyway. Rather, the Code assigns use-classification decisions to the Director and, where no existing classification clearly applies, the proper remedy is a change to the zoning text. In other words, the City may not use the CUP process to create a new hybrid use that the Code does not presently authorize. For that reason, the Council should require a clear answer to a simple question before acting: what, exactly, is the legal use classification for the proposed bungalows and lofts, and where is that use authorized in OS-PR? And critically, the Council must also be able to determine—based on substantial evidence—that the project, as designed, can be operated safely before any approval is granted. Unless and until those questions are answered in a manner that allows the Council to make the required findings, approval of the lodging component would be legally vulnerable and premature. 178 Orange County Office 3200 Bristol Street, Suite 400 Costa Mesa, CA 92626 (714) 292-0262 epggblaw.com Jesse K. Bolling Managing Partner jbolling@epggblaw.com P a g e | 12 5. There is no justifiable basis to move forward with the proposed plan unless and until, at a minimum, a comprehensive safety study is conducted. For all of these reasons, there is no justifiable basis for the Council to move forward with the proposed plan unless and until a comprehensive safety study is completed. Without that study, the Council lacks substantial evidence necessary to determine that the project can be operated safely and therefore cannot make the findings required for approval of the Conditional Use Permit. We therefore respectfully request that the Council continue this matter for at least 60 days so that the proposed project can be evaluated on a more complete and reliable record.

Over the past two weeks, we have noticed some confusion regarding the relationship between the tenant of THC (Camaraderie Clubs) and the landlord/property owner (Golf Realty Fund). To clarify, Camaraderie Clubs pays rent to Golf Realty Fund through a triple net lease. This lease outlines obligations for capital expenditures for both the tenant and the property owner. So far, Camaraderie Clubs has met and exceeded its capital obligations. However, as the property owner mentioned in the planning commission meeting on January 27th, they have yet to fulfill their obligations. In the past six years since the lease was signed, Golf Realty Fund is still in the process of obtaining the necessary approvals for the project. In addition, Camaraderie clubs would like to clarify the following misconceptions we have heard from the members. 1.Johnathon Baily represents Golf Reality Trust and is not affiliated with Camaraderie Clubs or involved in our operational decisions regarding THC. We want to make it very clear: WE DO NOT ENDORSE HIS STATEMENT MADE DURING THE TOWN HALL MEETING, where he said, "WE ARE COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT IN THE ECONOMICS, AND YOU GUYS ARE FREE TO SPEAK WITH YOUR WALLETS AND SAY, 'HEY, NO, THIS CLUB ISN'T FOR US; WE WILL LEAVE.'" Jonathon Baily and Golf Realty Trust do not have the authority to make such statements to you, our valued customers, and members of THC. As made evident by the recent survey, we value member feedback and will use that feedback to frame our capital investment and operational opportunities. We deeply value your membership and thank you for choosing to be a part of our Club. 2.Currently, Camaraderie Clubs has no financial interest or contractual obligation to manage the bungalows and loft apartments proposed by Golf Realty Fund. Camaraderie Clubs has been steadfast in its efforts to compel the landlord to honor its obligations to construct a new swimming pool and upgrade the fitness facilities over the past 6 years . The ownership of The Huntington Club is dedicated to the ongoing improvement of the Club and its facilities, aiming to preserve and enhance the experience enjoyed by its members. 181 2 We will always advocate for the interests of the Club and its members with conviction and respect. Please direct any questions about the project to Golf Realty Fund as they will be best equipped to answer questions about their project.

If you haven't already, I urge you to read it. This letter points out key safety issues, which have been my main concern since discussions began about this proposed project. I remember making the comment, "With a street running directly through the club courts, it is not a matter of someone potentia the applicant, Jonathon why there should be a need for parking in front of the bungalows. His response was that this was a city requirement. A more viable solution for all parties would be to maintain the original design with the bungalows instead as penthouse units on the new tennis clubhouse. Raising the building one story does not impact any of the parties. The original penthouse design to lights and residences whose current golf course views will be diminished by the proposed to mitigate the heightened liability exposure to the landlord, tenant, and city. The new lodging units are not likely to maintain 100% occupancy on a regular basis; therefore, the need for additional parking is quite minimal. Many of the guests are not likely to have more than one vehicle, and the availability of ride share reduces the need even further. It is clear that the liability exposure to all interested parties should warrant more scrutiny and alternative plan solutions.

The proposed lease establishes a five-year initial term with one optional five-year extension, sets fixed rent with annual increases, and allows for site improvements, including repairs, cleanup, and installation of a new irrigation system. The agreement also provides a minimum discount on plant purchases for City use and maintains the site’s longstanding wholesale nursery operations in accordance with its Conditional Use Permit (which limits the property to a wholesale nursery use). Currents Outdoor, LLC has executed the lease and is prepared to begin operations and site improvements upon lease commencement, pending City Council approval. Financial Impact: The lease will generate the following revenue: ·Base Rent - Year 1: $2,620 per month ·Annual Rent Increases: 2% per year Revenue will be deposited into the General Fund (10000100.43075 - Land Lease Income). Recommended Action: Approve and authorize the Mayor, City Clerk, and City Manager to execute the lease with Currents Outdoor, LLC. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the lease and provide alternative direction to staff. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 4/15/2026Page 1 of 3 263 File #:26-245 MEETING DATE:4/21/2026 Analysis: The City-owned parcel at 10449 Adams Avenue has operated as a wholesale nursery since 1985 under a Conditional Use Permit. The property includes an access easement to an adjacent Southern California Edison (SCE) parcel, which is currently occupied by PoolMax, and is subject to SCE- imposed restrictions that limit permanent structures and certain land uses. The prior tenant had been operating on a month-to-month basis and experienced financial challenges that resulted in unpaid rent and limited reinvestment in the site. After issuing a notice to vacate, the City began evaluating options to secure a new operator. The prior tenant, who had also leased the adjacent SCE parcel, coordinated with PoolMax to relocate product and equipment to that rear parcel, which SCE subsequently reassigned to PoolMax. Staff initially engaged with Moon Valley Nursery; however, that opportunity did not move forward due to easement constraints associated with the adjacent SCE parcel. Separately, PoolMax, a local design and construction firm with nearly 30 years of experience in Huntington Beach and coastal Orange County, expressed interest in leasing the property. PoolMax currently occupies the adjacent SCE parcel and created Currents Outdoor, LLC as a related entity to operate a wholesale nursery and plant-growing use on the site. Public Works cleared and remediated the property, avoiding the need to provide a potential rent credit to a new tenant for those improvements. Following Council direction, staff negotiated a lease with Currents Outdoor, LLC, which will continue the longstanding wholesale-only nursery use of the site. The tenant plans to invest in site improvements, including fence repairs and installation of a new irrigation system, and will introduce drought-tolerant and California-native plant inventory with a focus on sustainable practices. Key Lease Terms and Public Benefits: Five (5) years, with one optional five-year extension (by mutual agreement) Wholesale nursery only (no retail sales to the general public) $2,620/month in Year 1, with 2% annual increases Six (6) months’ rent prepaid plus one-month security deposit Minimum 20% off standard wholesale pricing for City plant and tree purchases Insurance, possessory interest tax, permits, licenses, and regulatory compliance The proposed lease secures a qualified tenant, restores active use of the property, and ensures private investment in a City-owned asset. It maintains consistency with the existing Conditional Use Permit and provides public benefits including stable lease revenue, improved site conditions, and discounted plant materials for City projects. The proposed base rent reflects site constraints, including utility easements and restrictions on permanent structures, which limit the range of allowable uses and development intensity. If the lease is not approved, the property may remain vacant. This would delay site improvements, City of Huntington Beach Printed on 4/15/2026Page 2 of 3 264 File #:26-245 MEETING DATE:4/21/2026 Environmental Status: Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not constitute a project. Strategic Plan Goal: Goal 2 - Fiscal Stability, Strategy A - Consider new revenue sources and opportunities to support the City's priority initiatives and projects.

In addition, if Lessee elects to terminate the Lease, Lessee must still comply with all of its obligations, liabilities, duties and responsibilities under the Lease, including, without limitation, paying any Rent due up to the time of termination and surrendering the Property, pursuant to Sections 53 and 54 below. In the event of the damage or destruction of the Facilities, and/or personal property located on the Property not giving rise to a termination of this Lease, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, replace and repair the same as soon as reasonably possible to permit the prompt continuation of Lessee's business at the Property. SECTION 50. NO ABATEMENT OF RENT DURING REPAIR WORK The Rent shall not be abated for the time Lessee is prevented from using the whole or a portion of the Property. In addition, Lessee shall not be excused from the payment of taxes, insurance or any other obligations for the time Lessee is prevented from using the whole or a portion of the Property. SECTION 51. EMINENT DOMAIN If, during the term of this Lease or any renewals or extensions thereof or during any holdover period, City's real property (whether held by City in fee simple, an easement interest or otherwise) and/or the Property is taken in eminent domain, the entire award (that is, all forms) of compensation, other than as provided herein, shall belong to and be paid to City. In the event of 26-17772 407652 30 296 condemnation, Lessee shall be entitled to an award of only the following forms of compensation, if any, from the condemning authority: compensation for loss of business goodwill; compensation for the value of any of Lessee's personal property; compensation for the value of any of Lessee's trade inventory; and compensation for relocation benefits as authorized by law. All other forms of compensation, such as, for example, but not by way oflimitation, any bonus value of Lessee's interest in this Lease, shall belong to and be paid to City. In the event of condemnation, unless Lessee is allowed by the condemning authority to continue its operations on the Property, the Lease shall terminate on the earliest of the following dates: the date the condemning authority obtains a prejudgment order for possession; the date title to the Property vests in the condemning authority; or the date when Lessee is required by the condemning authority to cease its operations. SECTION 52. IRRIGATION PIPELINES AND APPURTENANCES Lessee agrees that any and all irrigation pipelines and appurtenances, as well as all well pumping equipment, located on the Property at the commencement of Lessee's occupancy thereof are the property of City, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the premises upon the termination of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof. In consideration of the privilege of using the same, Lessee agrees to maintain, operate, repair and replace if necessary, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, any and all of said irrigation pipelines and appurtenances and well pumping equipment, during the continuance of this Lease. Any and all well pumping equipment placed on the Property by Lessee, the installation of which is made with the consent of City and for which a rent adjustment is made, and any and all irrigation pipelines and appurtenances and well pumping equipment installed by Lessee to replace equipment located on the Property at the time Lessee entered into possession thereof, shall thereupon be and become 26-17772 407652 31 297 the property of City and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Property upon the termination of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof. Lessee agrees to promptly deliver to City a good and sufficient bill of sale for any and all such irrigation pipelines, appurtenances and well pumping equipment installed on the Property at the time the same is installed. Lessee further agrees that no such replacement pipelines or well pumping equipment shall be purchased on other than a cash basis. SECTION 53. RESTORATION AND SURRENDER OF PROPERTY/TITLE TO IMPROVEMENTS On expiration or termination of this Lease, Lessee shall, without compensation to Lessee, promptly surrender and deliver the Property to City in as good condition as such were at the commencement date of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Lessee shall, at the option of the City, remove the Facilities and restore the Property to its natural condition to the satisfaction of, and at no cost to the City. In the alternative, and again and at the option of the City, Lessee shall and without compensation to Lessee, surrender all Facilities to City in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Lessee shall remove all personal property and trade inventory. City may in its sole discretion accept all or any portion of the Facilities and no sum whatsoever shall be paid to Lessee or any other person; or City may require Lessee to remove all or any portion of the Facilities, at Lessee's own risk and cost and expense; or City may itself remove or have removed all or any portion of the Facilities, at Lessee's own risk and cost and expense. If required by City to do so, in removing any such Facilities, Lessee shall restore the Property as nearly as possible to the conditions existing prior to their installation or construction. All such removal and restoration shall be to the satisfaction of City and shall be completed within thirty (30) days of 26-17772 407652 32 298 the expiration or termination of this Lease; provided, however, that Lessee shall be considered a holdover tenant (pursuant to the "Holdover" Section hereof) after expiration or termination of the Lease until the time Lessee completes this removal and restoration work, including, without limitation, the removal of any personal property and trade inventory left on the Property. In addition, any personal property or trade inventory left on the Property after the expiration of this 30-day period, regardless of cause, shall be deemed abandoned by Lessee. In City's sole discretion, it may choose to do one or more of the following: (1) take any or all of such personal property and trade inventory as City property; (2) store any or all of such personal property and trade inventory in a public warehouse or other location at the sole cost, expense and risk of Lessee, and for the account and in the name of Lessee; or (3) dispose of any or all of such personal property and trade inventory without any liability to Lessee. In addition, Lessee's indenmification, hold harmless and defense obligations set forth in this Lease shall apply to such personal property and/or trade inventory, and to City's actions with respect thereto. SECTION 54. FORCE MAJEURE -UNA VOIDABLE DELAYS Should the performance of any act required by this Lease to be performed by either City or Lessee be prevented or delayed by reason of an act of God, strike, lockout, labor troubles, inability to secure materials, restrictive govermnental laws or regulations, or any other cause except financial inability not the fault of the party required to perform the act, the time for performance of the act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of delay and performance of the act during the period of delay shall be excused. Provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section shall excuse the prompt payment of the Rent or other consideration by Lessee as required by this Lease or the performance of any act rendered 26-17772 407652 33 299 difficult solely because of the financial condition of the party, City or Lessee, required to perform the act. SECTION 55. CITY'S OPTION TO CLOSE THE PROPERTY City may close the Property without liability and without advance notice to Lessee therefor at any time as City in its sole discretion deems necessary for the protection of life, limb or property, or for public health, safety or welfare purposes, or upon reasonable notice to effect any repair, remodeling or rebuilding deemed necessary by City in its sole discretion. The length of time of any closing of the Property by City longer than two (2) weeks during a period when the Facilities would otherwise be open shall extend the term of the Lease by the same amount of time. If this occurs, Lessee and City shall memorialize this extension in writing. SECTION 56. DELIVERIES OF SUPPLIES City may establish the days and times deliveries of supplies may be made and advise Lessee in writing thereof. SECTION 57. EMPLOYEE PARKING City shall establish the days, times and locations where Lessee and Lessee's employees may park, and the number of automobiles, trucks, and other motorized and non-motorized vehicles that Lessee and Lessee's employees may park, and advise Lessee in writing thereof. SECTION 58. CONFLICT OF INTEREST Lessee warrants and covenants that no official or employee of City, nor any business entity in which an official or employee of City is interested, (I) has been employed or retained by Lessee to solicit or aid in the procuring of this Lease; or (2) shall be employed by Lessee in the performance of this Lease without the immediate written divulgence of such fact to City. In the event City determines that the employment of any such official, employee or business entity 26-17772 407652 34 300 is not compatible with such official's or employee's duties as an official or employee of City, Lessee, upon request of City, shall terminate such employment immediately. For breaches or violation of this Section, City shall have the right both to terminate this Lease without liability and, in its discretion, recover the full amount of any such compensation paid to such official, employee or business entity. No official or employee of City shall have any financial interest in this Lease in violation of the applicable provisions of the California Government Code. SECTION 59.

Animal control and shelter services are essential for protecting public safety, promoting animal welfare, and ensuring compliance with state and local regulations. These services play a critical role in rabies control, handling dangerous animals and related incidents, managing stray populations, investigating animal cruelty cases, and providing rescue, licensing, and adoption programs. Outsourcing these services ensures comprehensive coverage, including field response, animal care, shelter operations, licensing, adoptions, and response to barking dog complaints, allowing the Police Department and other City staff to focus on core public safety and community priorities. OCAC has demonstrated that it is a qualified, stable, and comprehensive provider, and remains well- positioned to continue serving the City effectively over the next five years. Financial Impact: The contract with OCAC will be a five-year agreement, with annual funding determined through a Notice of Intent (NOI) submitted by OCAC each fiscal year. The FY 26/27 NOI is approximately $1.74 million ($1,738,803), but this is not a fixed amount, as actual costs will vary based on services provided. Funding for these services is included in the City’s annual operating budget, with no additional General Fund impact anticipated. Contracting with OCAC provides cost efficiencies through shared regional resources and avoids the substantial expenses of establishing a City-operated system. City of Huntington Beach Printed on 4/15/2026Page 1 of 2 321 File #:26-339 MEETING DATE:4/21/2026 Recommended Action: Approve and authorize the Chief of Police and City Clerk to execute the "Agreement for Provision of OC Animal Care Services Between County of Orange and the City of Huntington Beach." Alternative Action(s): Do not approve agreement, and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: When the City first considered partnering with the County, it evaluated alternatives, including establishing its own animal services department. Research showed that creating a standalone City operated system would require significant time and resources. This analysis supported the decision to partner with OCAC, providing comprehensive services efficiently and cost-effectively. The proposed agreement with Orange County Animal Care (OCAC) covers the term from May 31, 2026, through May 30, 2031. The agreement provides city-wide animal care services, including field response, patrol, investigations of cruelty and bites, licensing, sheltering and adoption services, and barking dog complaint response. Continuing this partnership ensures consistent, reliable service delivery while avoiding the significant operational, staffing, and capital costs required to establish a standalone City-operated system. By leveraging regional resources and established facilities, the City maintains high-quality animal control and shelter services efficiently and cost-effectively. Environmental Status: Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not constitute a project. 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.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES/DELAYS It is agreed by the parties hereto that in case the total work called for hereunder is not in all parts and requirements finished or completed within the number of calendar days as set forth herein, damage will be sustained by CITY; and that it is, and would be, impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the actual damage which CITY would sustain in the event of and by reason of such delay. It is, therefore, agreed that CONTRACTOR will pay to CITY, as liquidat ed damages and not as a penalty, the sum of ______ O=N::....:=E-=T=H=--=O=-=U=S=A=N..:..::D:....cD:::....=:.O=L=L=AR=S _____ ($ 1,000.00 ) per each calendar day's delay in completing the work in excess of the number of working/calendar days set forth herein, which represents a reasonable endeavor by the parties hereto to estimate a fair compensation for the foreseeable damages CITY would sustain m the event of and by reason of such delay; and CONTRACTOR agrees to pay these damages herein provided, and further agrees that CITY may deduct the amount thereof from any monies due or that may become due to CONTRACTOR hereunder. CONTRACTOR will be granted an extension of time and will not be assessed damages for any portion of the delay in the completion of the work due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of CONTRACTOR, mcluding, but not limited to, acts of God or of the public enemy, fire, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unsuitable weather, or delays of subcontractors due to such causes.

No claims for additional compensation or damages for delays, irrespective of the cause thereof, and including without limitation the furnishing of materials by CITY or delays by other contractors or subcontractors will be allowed and an extension oftime for completion shall be the sole remedy of CONTRACTOR. 12.

Attachment(s): 1. Declaration of Theodore Roosevelt Day - Memo City of Huntington Beach Printed on 4/15/2026Page 1 of 1 418 City Council Meeting – Council Member Items Report To: City Council From: Mayor McKeon Date: April 21, 2026 Subject: DECLARATION OF MAY 7, 2026 AS THEODORE ROOSEVELT DAY IN HUNTINGTON BEACH 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 | www.huntingtonbeachca.gov ISSUE STATEMENT This proposal recommends designating May 7, 2026 as Theodore Roosevelt Day in Huntington Beach, California. The date marks the anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt’s first visit to California in 1903 during his well-known nine-week “Great Loop” tour—one of the most memorable presidential journeys in American history. The year 1903 is also notable for several milestones in American history, including the Wright brothers’ first flight, the first World Series, and the introduction of the teddy bear, named after Roosevelt. Historical Significance May 7, 1903 is meaningful for several reasons: 1. First Official Recognition This would be the first time a city in California officially sets aside a day to honor Theodore Roosevelt, whose impact on conservation and national parks is still felt today. 2. Connection to Huntington Beach’s Beginnings In that same month in 1903, Henry Huntington purchased Pacific City, which eventually became Huntington Beach. This shared timing creates a strong historical link between Roosevelt’s visit and the city’s founding. 3. Influence on Conservation During his 1903 trip, Roosevelt spent three days camping in Yosemite with naturalist John Muir. That experience helped shape his commitment to conservation and the protection of public lands. 4. A Deeper Historical Connection The story of Yosemite’s preservation goes back to Abraham Lincoln in 1864, influenced by photographer Carleton Watkins. Watkins had ties to Collis Huntington, whose railroad was later passed on to Henry Huntington. These connections highlight how local and national history are closely linked. It’s also worth noting that in the 1930s, the Pacific Coast Highway running through Huntington Beach was named Roosevelt Highway in his honor. Designating May 7 as 419 CITY OF . HUNTINGTON BEACH 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 | www.huntingtonbeachca.gov Theodore Roosevelt Day would help reconnect with that history and encourage continued appreciation for conservation and environmental stewardship. Recognizing this day would honor Roosevelt’s legacy while also tying into the celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary.

The City Council has undertaken ongoing efforts to ensure these assets are managed strategically to maximize their value and deliver intended amenities that benefit residents, visitors, and the City ’s overall financial position. These efforts have resulted in several key initiatives, including the centralization of lease administration, improved management of lease revenues, updating outdated agreements, and aligning lease terms with current market conditions. There are additional areas of improvement that should be considered, includin g the implementation of an open-bid leasing process in which prospective tenants compete in a transparent and competitive environment. Given the scope and importance of the City’s lease portfolio, establishing a dedicated forum for focused review will enhance oversight and strategic alignment. An ad hoc committee composed of City Council Members would provide the opportunity to review lease agreements, evaluate terms and conditions, review market alignment, participate in or provide input on lease negotiations, evaluate open bid leasing, and develop recommendations for city Council consideration. RECOMMENDED ACTION Establish a City Council Lease Review Ad Hoc Committee, consisting of three Council Members, through December 31, 2026, to review City leases and provide recommendations for City Council consideration. 422 .• CITY OF _ HUNTINGTON BEACH City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 File #:26-373 MEETING DATE:4/21/2026 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION Subject: Item Submitted by Mayor McKeon to Create a City Council Ad Hoc Committee to review and make recommendations on the Request for Proposals for the Creative Strategy, Branding, Merchandising, Media, Communications, and Film Industry Development Systems Recommended Action: Create a City Council Ad Hoc Committee consisting of three Council Members to review the process, received proposals and provide a recommendation on the approach for this project.

HUNTINGTON BEACH HUNTINGTON BEACH BRAND & SYSTEMS AUDIT & REPORT Draft V4. | Presented for: Travis Hopkins, City Manager, Huntington Beach, CA W WOLFFHAUS An Introduction to Wolffhaus. Wolffhaus is not a traditional agency, and this report was not built through a conventional compliance-only lens. Our work comes from operating daily at the intersection of brand strategy, creative direction, media, business development, public perception, product development, and systems building for major brands, public-facing organizations, celebrities and public figures. Our approach is not conventional, and the economics of a place like Huntington Beach are not conventional. In a tourism city and identity-driven world, value is not created only through contracts and line items. It is also created through perception, visibility, cultural relevance, desirability, and third-party amplification. Those factors influence tourism demand, visitor spending, sponsorship pricing, media value, business attraction, and overall brand strength. When they are ignored simply because they are harder to quantify, cities can miss major economic opportunities hiding in plain sight. While traditional audits often focus on what is formally documented, financially reported, or procedurally required, our work is built around identifying the gaps between what an organization has, what it communicates, what it controls, and what it fails to capture. We are brought into complex environments to diagnose overlooked problems, connect disconnected issues, and find opportunities that others miss. We look for structural weaknesses, hidden inefficiencies, underused assets, outdated systems, fragmented ownership, missed revenue, and reputational blind spots — then work backward to identify what should and can be corrected, built, modernized, or brought under stronger control. Wolffhaus is a hybrid agency with capabilities that extend beyond any single traditional discipline. We do not operate like a narrow agency confined to one category. We work across creative direction, branding, communications, media, manufacturing, experiential, strategy, and operational problem-solving. That cross-functional experience allows us to evaluate situations more holistically and identify patterns that may be invisible when viewed through a single departmental or technical lens. This report reflects that perspective. It is not simply a review of isolated line items or contracts. It is a broader examination of how value is created, protected, lost, and left uncaptured across the City’s brand, assets, partnerships, systems, and public-facing infrastructure. 2 Huntington Beach Is Operating Without Systems to Protect or Capture the Value of One of the Most Recognizable Coastal Brands in the World Huntington Beach is not suffering from a revenue problem. It is suffering from a systems problem. Over the past several weeks, this detailed audit was conducted examining the City’s: ● Licensing agreements ● Branding and IP controls ● Outsourced marketing structures ● Revenue-sharing models ● Contract oversight ● Reporting and audit enforcement processes ● City owned assets & IP tied to brand value This report reveals a consistent pattern: The City has repeatedly undervalued its most powerful assets —its brand, its intellectual property, its physical locations, and its leverage. Across multiple departments and agreements, the City: • Accepts below-market royalty rates • Locks into long-term concession structures with weak performance triggers • Relies on self-reported revenue without mandatory deep auditing cycles • Failed to modernize expired intellectual property protections • Outsources high-margin revenue channels This report identifies: • Immediate revenue recovery opportunities • Mid-term contract restructuring pathways • Long-term institutional infrastructure improvements If properly implemented, these corrections could conservatively recover and generate: $2M–$5M+ annually across corrected systems The gap between asset value and revenue capture is substantial. This report exists to highlight that gap. 3 Huntington Beach possesses an asset most cities will never have: a globally recognized coastal brand. Rooted in decades of surf heritage, beach culture, recreation, and the classic Southern California lifestyle, this identity has shaped perceptions in media, tourism, and popular culture for generations. The California Dream. This identity carries real economic power. Many residents may not fully recognize the true economic value of this identity. A strong city brand is a form of intellectual property: it influences how people view the destination, drives visitor decisions, supports local commerce, generates tax revenue, creates employment, and contributes to overall community prosperity—all without requiring new taxes or major infrastructure projects. Cities with strong global identities routinely convert that recognition into tourism revenue, media exposure, cultural influence, and long-term economic development. When managed strategically, a city’s brand functions much like intellectual property — an asset capable of generating sustained public value. Yet despite possessing one of the most recognizable coastal identities in the world, Huntington Beach currently operates without a coordinated system designed to manage, protect, or monetize that asset. Instead, the economic value associated with the Huntington Beach identity is dispersed across fragmented initiatives, outside organizations, private operators, and media platforms that capture portions of the value without a unified strategy that benefits the city itself. Since Covid, Huntington Beach has received growing national and regional media attention centered on political debates and divisions, rather than the surf culture, suburban beach lifestyle, and community traditions/values that have long defined its worldwide appeal as Surf City USA. While no city can dictate every story written about it, when external narratives become the dominant lens through which a place is viewed, the deeper qualities that residents and visitors cherish can become less visible. Over time, this kind of shift in public perception can carry real implications for the community's image, tourism, local pride, and overall sense of unity. Reputation affects tourism behavior, media partnerships, event attraction, investment decisions, and civic pride. When a city’s narrative drifts away from the qualities that created its global appeal, the resulting damage is not merely reputational — it becomes economic. The purpose of this audit is to examine the structural systems behind Huntington Beach’s brand, its IP and assets, and identify where value is currently being lost. 4 The findings that follow document a series of gaps in how the city manages media, events, cultural programming, communications infrastructure, and brand stewardship. Taken together, these gaps represent a fundamental issue: Huntington Beach possesses extraordinary brand power, but it does not currently operate with the systems required to protect that power or convert it into sustained economic value for the community.

CORE CONCERNS Huntington Beach is currently operating under increasing fiscal pressure while simultaneously managing several public-facing assets that generate economic activity tied directly to the city’s global identity. This audit evaluates whether the City is effectively capturing the value generated by those assets and whether existing systems are structured to protect the City’s long-term economic interests. The review was driven by five core concerns: Loss of Intellectual Property (IP) Control and use as a revenue generator. Huntington Beach possesses one of the most recognizable coastal identities in the world, yet the City lacks systems designed to manage and monetize that identity as a strategic asset. Budget Deficit Pressure The City faces increasing pressure to identify sustainable revenue sources and reduce structural inefficiencies. Vendor Dependency Risk The Huntington Beach brand relies heavily on outside vendors, consultants, or organizations, creating long-term dependency, reduced internal control and inflated expenses. Revenue Leakage Multiple revenue-generating activities tied to tourism, events, media, and licensing operate without systems or oversight that ensure the City captures a proportional financial return. Fragmented Ownership Responsibility for brand-adjacent economic activity is dispersed across departments, partnerships, and outside operators without centralized coordination. 2. IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE OPPORTUNITIES Huntington Beach already possesses the core asset many cities spend decades trying to build: a globally recognized identity with proven tourism, cultural, and commercial value. The issue is not whether value exists. The issue is whether the City has the systems required to capture, protect, and grow that value. 6 This audit identified several opportunities where stronger oversight, modernized agreements, clearer ownership, and better internal coordination could begin producing measurable returns. These opportunities do not depend on creating a new identity. They depend on managing existing assets with greater structure, accountability, and intent. The most immediate opportunities appear in merchandising and licensing, film and media activity, event and sponsorship monetization, and the reduction of inefficiencies tied to fragmented communications and outdated operating structures. Together, these areas represent the clearest starting points for revenue recovery, cost savings, and long-term institutional improvement. FINANCIAL SNAPSHOT Preliminary analysis indicates that several areas tied to the Huntington Beach brand are severely underperforming due to outdated agreements, fragmented ownership, limited internal systems, and weak revenue capture. Based on currently available records, benchmark comparisons, and observed structural gaps, the following ranges reflect conservative estimates of annual lost value, cost savings opportunity, and longer-term recoverable impact if corrected through modernized systems and agreements. Category Estimated Annual Opportunity Estimated 5-Year Opportunity Merchandising & Licensing $500,000–$1,000,000+ $3,000,000–$5,000,000+ Film & Media Production $100,000–$300,000+ direct revenue potential $10,000,000+ in related economic activity Events & Sponsorships $500,000+ $3,000,000+ Media & Communications $250,000–$500,000 Multi-year operational savings capacity gains, earned media Total 5-Year Direct + Indirect Impact Projection: $18,000,000+ in combined direct revenue opportunity, cost savings, and related economic 7 activity through improved asset management, stronger revenue capture, and system modernization. These figures are estimates based on the information currently available and are intended to illustrate the scale of the opportunity, not a guaranteed financial outcome. More precise values would require deeper financial review, contract analysis, vendor reporting validation, and implementation-stage analysis. 3. CORE DIAGNOSIS The central issue identified in this audit is not a lack of opportunity. Huntington Beach possesses valuable economic assets. What it lacks are the systems required to manage them effectively. The current structure produces five recurring conditions: Fragmented Ownership Economic drivers connected to the Huntington Beach brand operate across multiple departments and external partnerships without a unified management framework. Under-Captured Revenue Tourism activity, media exposure, events, sponsorships, and licensing opportunities generate economic value that is not consistently converted into direct revenue for the City. Limited Internal Control Over Public-Facing Brand Representation External organizations and media outlets frequently shape the public perception surrounding Huntington Beach. The City does not currently appear to operate with the level of media infrastructure, production consistency, or distribution reach needed to regularly showcase the full breadth of community activity, assets, and positive developments taking place across Huntington Beach. No Integrated Systems Huntington Beach currently lacks an integrated framework that connects tourism, media, film production, events, licensing, and cultural programming into a coordinated economic system. Overburdened & Short Handed Staff Huntington Beach currently operates with a severely limited number of staff in the creative department. In many organizations, the strategic value of creative leadership, media 8 infrastructure, and relationship-driven brand development is often underestimated, particularly when those functions are not viewed as direct contributors to revenue generation. This report also makes clear that many City staff are operating under real strain. Too much is being carried by too few people, often without the systems, staffing structure, internal coordination, or specialized support required to manage a city with assets of this scale and public visibility. In several areas, the City does not simply appear overextended. It appears structurally underbuilt. Certain roles commonly found in modern cities — including centralized creative leadership, media support, content development, and coordinated brand and communications personnel — appear limited, fragmented, or absent altogether. As a result, existing staff are left carrying responsibilities that extend well beyond what current structures are designed to support. Any recommendations in this report are intended not to add to that burden, but to reduce it. By improving revenue capture, modernizing workflows, and building durable internal systems, the City can create new capacity rather than continuing to overextend the teams already in place. Over time, the funding generated through these corrections could help support expanded staffing, internship and workforce pipelines, stronger creative and media infrastructure, and the tools needed to make City operations more effective and sustainable. 4. CORE RECOMMENDATIONS The City does not need to create new identity assets. It already possesses them. What is required is the implementation of systems that allow Huntington Beach to own, manage, and benefit from the economic value these assets produce. The recommended framework focuses on five priorities: 1. Build Internal Ownership Establish internal systems responsible for managing the Huntington Beach brand ecosystem rather than relying on fragmented external control. 2. Standardize Systems Create coordinated operational structures connecting tourism, media, events, film production, sponsorships, and licensing. 3. Capture Intellectual Property Treat the Huntington Beach identity as a strategic municipal asset with defined licensing, merchandising, and partnership frameworks. 9 4. Train and Transfer Institutional Knowledge Develop internal city capabilities related to brand IP that reduce reliance on outside consultants and vendors. 5. Eliminate Long-Term Dependency Design systems that allow Huntington Beach to operate more independently rather than relying on external organizations to manage core economic drivers. If implemented, these structural changes would allow Huntington Beach to transition from a city that just hosts economic activity tied to its identity to a city that actively manages and captures the value that identity produces. As these programs grow, they can generate enough revenue to expand internal capacity and reduce pressure on the teams currently carrying these responsibilities. 5. AUDIT METHODOLOGY The findings in this report were developed through a multi-step review process designed to evaluate both the operational structure and financial implications of programs tied to the Huntington Beach brand ecosystem. Methods used during this audit include: Public Records Review Examination of publicly available agreements, reports, contracts, and program documentation related to tourism, events, media, and other city-affiliated activities. Department Interviews Discussions with relevant city personnel and stakeholders involved in programs connected to tourism, communications, cultural programming, and economic activity tied to Huntington Beach’s public identity. Revenue Analysis Review of available financial information to identify potential gaps between economic activity occurring within the Huntington Beach ecosystem and the direct revenue captured by the City. Benchmark City Comparison Reference to structural models used by comparable municipalities to manage tourism, media, film production, events, and brand-related economic assets. Comparative Fee Structures Evaluation of how Huntington Beach’s fees, agreements, and revenue structures compare to similar cities and programs. Workflow Observation Assessment of operational workflows and departmental coordination to identify fragmentation, redundancy, or system gaps. Limitations of Available Public Data 10 This report relies in part on publicly available records, reported figures, interviews, and benchmark comparisons. Because complete financial, contractual, and operational data was not available in all areas at the time of review, certain findings and projections are best understood as conservative estimates based on the information currently accessible, and may require further validation through deeper internal review. THE HUNTINGTON BEACH BRAND ECOSYSTEM The Huntington Beach brand ecosystem functions best when film, tourism, events, licensing, merchandising, media, sponsorship, cultural programming, and city-owned venues are treated as connected parts of one larger system rather than separate activities operating in silos. Each area feeds the others. Film and media drive attention. Tourism converts attention into visits, spending, and broader recognition. Events create moments that generate attendance, press, sponsorship value, and merchandising opportunities. Licensing and merchandising capture revenue from the City’s identity and extend its presence into everyday life. Cultural programming strengthens authenticity, community pride, and local participation. City-owned venues and public assets serve as the stages where these experiences are activated. When aligned under a unified strategy, these categories build momentum for one another, increasing public value, strengthening the City’s identity, and creating more sustainable long-term economic return. Includes: ● Film ● Tourism ● Events ● Licensing ● Merchandising ● Media ● Sponsorship ● Cultural programming ● City owned venues & Assets ____________________________________________________________________________ 6. CORE ISSUE: BRAND & BRAND VOICE 11 1. Discovery Huntington Beach possesses one of the strongest municipal identities in California. The pier, surf culture, major events, coastline, and “Surf City” association generate significant national and international recognition. Third-party voices — including national media, influencers, event promoters, and independent organizations — play an outsized role in shaping public perception of the brand. However, brand management remains fragmented across tourism promotion, city communications, department-level outreach, event marketing, and media production. There is no centralized authority responsible for integrating these efforts into a unified, strategic system or effectively managing third-party portrayals. Upon interviews with department heads, current creative and public information staff is severely overburdened, limiting capacity for proactive, high-quality content production and brand stewardship. Additionally, media storage does not currently meet modern archive standards and lacks a digital asset management (DAM) system, hindering ease of access for press, internal teams, partners, and content repurposing. The City also lacks a robust network of strong, positive third-party voices in the influencer and creator economy. There are few sustained, authentic relationships with lifestyle, surf, family-travel, or coastal influencers who could consistently amplify the welcoming, fun Surf City culture to wider audiences. What exists: ● Miles of beaches, 350+ acres of parks, hundreds of events annually ● Major events drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors ● A thriving business community and restaurant scene ● Cultural institutions and historic landmarks ● Daily moments of community pride, achievement, and beauty What doesn't exist: ● A unified creative and communication vision across departments ● A professional media archive and asset management system ● Modern video production that competes with what residents see elsewhere ● A content strategy that proactively tells the city's story ● Systems to capture, organize, and distribute high-quality media ● Coordination between tourism, parks, business services, and city communications ● A YouTube channel or social media presence with large meaningful impact 2. Current Structure Tourism marketing is primarily executed through an external nonprofit entity focused on hotel performance, while City communications operate separately with limited scope, infrastructure, and distribution reach. Across departments, content is produced independently without a shared brand framework, unified messaging architecture, or centralized asset system. The result is a fragmented public-facing identity where major parts of the Huntington Beach story are being told in silos rather than through a coordinated citywide strategy. 12 In recent years, there appears to be limited collaboration and few high-impact joint initiatives between the current DMO (Destination Marketing Organization - Visit Huntington Beach) and the City that meaningfully advance broader brand objectives beyond core hotel and tourism metrics. This structural separation reduces the City’s ability to align campaigns, amplify key moments, and fully leverage the Surf City identity across tourism, culture, community, and civic pride. Without greater unification, Huntington Beach risks continuing to operate with disconnected voices, duplicated effort, and underleveraged brand assets. For that reason, the City must take a more active role in building alignment across stakeholders and owning the systems that shape its authentic voice, so the welcoming, fun, family-friendly coastal culture of Huntington Beach is consistently represented, reinforced, and protected. 3. Financial Data (Indirect Impact) While brand infrastructure does not generate direct revenue line-items, it materially impacts tourism spend, event participation, business attraction, sponsorship pricing power, merchandising performance, and film location desirability. Modern destination marketing studies consistently show that perception and digital visibility heavily influence visitor spending patterns, length of stay, and willingness to purchase branded products. The power of third-party voices amplifies both positive and negative messaging, directly affecting economic outcomes. 4. Benchmark Comparison Comparable cities with strong tourism economies maintain centralized brand governance, in-house creative direction or integrated oversight, unified digital strategies, proactive media outreach, and coordinated tourism + city messaging. These systems allow them to better harness third-party voices while protecting core brand value and aligning public perception with economic goals. Huntington Beach currently operates without this level of integration, leaving its brand identity vulnerable to external forces. 5. Structural Risk The lack of centralized brand oversight creates several critical vulnerabilities: ● Loss of control over brand identity during periods of negative attention, particularly as national media sometimes frames Huntington Beach in ways that overshadow its actual culture ● Negative or controversy-focused third-party coverage can amplify narrow or incomplete portrayals of the City, reducing visibility for the broader coastal identity, family appeal, and community strengths that support tourism, events, and civic pride. ● Limited positive amplification from influencers and creators due to few established, mutually beneficial relationships ● Missed amplification of positive community developments ● Reduced tourism yield per visitor 13 ● Weak sponsorship leverage ● Inefficient cross-department communication ● Underperformance in digital engagement ● Severe overburdening of creative staff, constraining proactive storytelling and response capabilities ● Inadequate modern media archiving and access, slowing content reuse, press support, and overall efficiency ● Businesses and investors deterred by persistent negative brand narrative, perceiving higher risk or reputational concerns when deciding where to open, expand, or host events — despite the City’s world-class location and infrastructure ● Potential long-term economic chilling effect, as negative or polarized media coverage discourages corporate partnerships, film productions, retail development, and tourism-related investment that would otherwise flow to a strong, positive brand like Huntington Beach. For a city with Huntington Beach’s level of public visibility, fragmented communications and brand systems create avoidable risk. In a fast-moving media environment, perception can shift quickly, and without coordinated infrastructure the City is less equipped to reinforce the identity that supports tourism, investment, partnerships, and long-term economic value. 6. Revenue Gap Brand fragmentation, weak control over brand identity, and heavy reliance on third-party voices contribute to measurable economic losses. Without a more professional and coordinated media, content, and storytelling strategy, the City is unlikely to convert the full strength of its identity into its highest potential economic return across tourism, sponsorships, film activity, merchandising, and related categories. This results in lower per-visitor spending, under-monetized opportunities in merchandising and licensing, reduced film and event sponsorship pricing power, and missed ancillary revenue from cultural assets and branded experiences and fewer new businesses opening in the city. Conservative annual lost opportunity due to ineffective brand and media execution: $1.1 million – $2.25 million in direct, quantifiable revenue (merchandising, film, parade sponsorships, Art Center commissions, etc.) — with the true economic and community impact far larger and largely immeasurable, as it compounds through reduced tourism yield, deterred business investment, diminished national perception, and lost cultural relevance that erodes the Surf City brand’s long-term value every year we fail to act. Brand infrastructure and content quality directly influence revenue conversion rates across multiple categories. When third parties dominate the voice and the City lacks professional, engaging media capabilities, it captures significantly less value than the underlying asset justifies. 7. Corrective Path 14 Immediate: ● Establish centralized brand oversight authority with clear responsibility for brand identity strategy and third-party engagement ● Conduct full communication infrastructure audit ● Define unified messaging architecture that protects core Surf City identity Mid-Term: ● Implement modern media archive and digital asset management (DAM) system for secure, searchable storage and easy access ● Create collaborative cross-department creative content calendar & execution ● Align tourism and city messaging through structured coordination, including proactive media response protocols ● Launch staff training program focused on effective, engaging content creation, digital storytelling, video production, and brand-aligned messaging ● Develop internship structure to support overburdened creative teams, provide fresh capacity, and build talent pipeline ● Initiate targeted influencer and creator outreach program to build authentic, positive third-party relationships and opportunities for collaboration Long-Term: ● Develop in-house creative direction capacity with professional media planning and execution ● Build proactive press engagement framework and third-party amplification strategy ● Establish performance metrics tied to economic impact, brand sentiment, content engagement rates, and revenue capture ● Leverage current brand assets (e.g., merchandising, licensing, film, events) to generate additional revenue streams, directly bolstering staffing and resources in communications and creative departments Additional Context: DMO Reliance & Scope Over the past decade, Visit Huntington Beach (VHB) has gradually positioned itself as the default point of contact for much of the City’s broader destination brand, marketing narrative, visitor experience strategy, and creative initiatives — responsibilities that extend well beyond its core mandate of lodging-focused promotion. VHB’s mission statements, annual reports, and public materials consistently claim ownership over “inspirational destination marketing,” “brand management,” and “economic vitality” and even public relations and crisis communication. Based on our research and interviews, the City appears to have relied heavily on VHB for event amplification, media coordination, content creation, and broader brand-related functions, areas outside the scope of the city’s arrangement and whose board composition appears to remain heavily weighted toward hotel industry interests. 15 This drift has created an unintended over-reliance. People and partners now automatically turn to VHB when they want to do anything creative or marketing-related with the City. While this may have seemed convenient, or even standard based on how some DMO’s operate, VHB’s performance in visitor marketing and broader destination promotion has been largely standard rather than standout, with recent campaigns for hotels and events often feeling outdated and out of touch with current industry trends. More importantly, the City has no proactive relationships with key promoters, event producers, film commissioners, and other partners of its own, because those connections have quietly shifted to VHB over the past several years — an organization not technically responsible or structured to manage them for the city. The result is fragmented strategy, weaker accountability, and missed opportunities across the board. The Surf City brand deserves clearer governance, stronger city-led direction, and balanced stakeholder input rather than defaulting to a model that has expanded beyond its original scope. Suggested Solutions If the City chooses to continue outsourcing some of these functions, several structural improvements could restore alignment and accountability: ● Stronger, clearly defined ownership roles and lines of responsibility in the management agreement. ● A more collaborative board structure with meaningful council oversight and regular reporting requirements. ● Inclusion of internal city stakeholders on the board to ensure broader community and departmental representation. ● Adoption of an operational model closer to Visit Newport Beach’s, where the DMO is responsible for the larger marketing of the entire city — not just lodging — through a formal city contract with integrated public-private governance, shared priorities, direct accountability to the full city organization, and built-in collaboration across stakeholders. This structure could also ease burdens and responsibility on internal city staff but comes with its own set of risks as well. Structure of the Visit Newport Beach Model and Potential Benefits Visit Newport Beach operates as a city-contracted DMO within the broader Newport Beach & Company framework, funded primarily through TOT but governed under a formal agreement with the City of Newport Beach. This structure gives the DMO clear responsibility for overall city-wide destination marketing, brand management, visitor experience development, event promotion, and economic vitality initiatives — not just hotel performance. Governance includes a TBID board, an executive committee, and direct city oversight through ordinances and shared priorities, ensuring collaboration with the full range of stakeholders (residents, businesses, cultural organizations, and city departments) rather than a narrow lodging focus. 16 For Huntington Beach, adopting a similar model would allow the DMO to focus on comprehensive brand marketing and city-wide destination promotion with strong built-in accountability and stakeholder collaboration. This structure would clearly define roles, maintain proactive city relationships with promoters and partners, and align marketing efforts more closely with the entire community’s needs — delivering better results for the Surf City brand while keeping governance transparent and balanced. Additional Context: Recent Press and Media Patterns In recent years, Huntington Beach has received a growing volume of national and regional media attention centered on political conflict and controversy rather than the broader coastal lifestyle, surf heritage, community traditions, and quality of life that have long shaped its public identity. While no city can control every headline, sustained imbalance in external coverage can distort public perception over time and reduce visibility for the attributes that have historically driven tourism, civic pride, and broader brand appeal. In a media environment where controversy often receives disproportionate attention, cities with strong public identities must work more intentionally to ensure their broader strengths remain visible. For Huntington Beach, that means a more proactive and coordinated approach to communications, third-party engagement, and brand storytelling so that public perception is not shaped disproportionately by isolated controversies. As part of this audit, a representative sample of more than 100 relevant news articles and reports from Google News, major California outlets, and local sources was reviewed to better understand the dominant themes shaping public perception of Huntington Beach. No independent third-party media monitoring study specific to Huntington Beach was identified during this review. Based on this sample, the majority of higher-visibility coverage appeared to be political or controversy-oriented, while positive or lifestyle-driven coverage was present but materially less prominent in overall volume and reach. ● Political coverage: Approximately 75–85% of all press mentions are political or controversy-focused. ● Negative or critical tone: Approximately 60–70% of stories carry a negative or critical tone. Even neutral local stories are often overshadowed by controversy. Positive or neutral coverage makes up only 20–30% and rarely goes national. Positive coverage relating to Huntington Beach’s businesses, beach culture, community events, and everyday quality of life exists, but appears materially less prominent than controversy-driven coverage in overall visibility and distribution. How This Affects the City Brand 17 This heavy political tilt has shifted national and regional perception of Huntington Beach away from “Surf City USA” — the fun, welcoming, family-friendly coastal icon — and toward a polarized political flashpoint. When controversy becomes the dominant frame through which a city is seen, it can overshadow the qualities that historically attracted visitors, businesses, families, event partners, and broader cultural interest. The constant focus on controversy creates a feedback loop: it drives more political coverage while crowding out stories about life here in HB and community strengths that actually reflect the vast majority of residents’ experience. The result is diminished tourism appeal, weaker third-party advocacy, and missed opportunities to showcase the full value of the Huntington Beach identity. What We Need Moving Forward The City would benefit from a more intentional and coordinated communications strategy that increases the visibility of authentic, positive, and community-centered stories. The goal is not to manufacture perception, but to better represent the full reality of Huntington Beach by amplifying the people, places, traditions, and everyday experiences that continue to define its long-term appeal. Stronger coordination, better media infrastructure, and more proactive third-party engagement would help restore balance and improve the City’s ability to shape how its identity is understood. 7. CORE ISSUE: MERCHANDISING & REVENUE LOSS 1. Discovery Huntington Beach possesses one of the most powerful and valuable municipal brands in the world through its pier, surf culture, major events, coastline, and decades of national and international recognition. The global surfing apparel and accessories market is currently valued at $10.37 billion and is projected to exceed $15 billion by 2033. Individual major surf brands generate hundreds of millions in annual revenue. Quiksilver, Hurley, Billabong, Volcom, Roxy, Ripcurl, RVCA, and Reef are the major players in the market and Huntington Beach should rightfully have a seat at that table. Huntington Beach captures virtually none of the economic value its name and reputation should generate through retail sales, licensing and partnerships. We have the visibility, authenticity, heritage, and audience to claim a meaningful share, yet the category remains almost entirely untapped. By way of scale only, even a very small share of a multi-billion-dollar surf and coastal lifestyle market would translate into substantial retail volume. For example, 0.25% of that broader market would equate to approximately $27.5 million in gross annual retail sales. That figure is not presented as a short-term municipal revenue 18 forecast, but as an illustration of how large the surrounding market is relative to the City’s current level of participation. 2. Current Structure Merchandising and licensing are currently locked into a single outdated third-party agreement tied to the Surf City Store on the Pier, featuring a severely undervalued 5% royalty rate on branded merchandise, well below common industry standards, extremely low pier lease rent of $950 per month for a high-traffic prime location, no minimum royalty guarantees, and limited audit and verification protections. The referenced servicemark (“Surf City, Huntington Beach”) is dead/cancelled (USPTO Reg. No. 74/350/258, lapsed 2005), weakening enforceability. The website for direct consumer orders is hard to find, has a very limited selection, little to no active marketing or promotion, and product designs that have remained largely stagnant for years. Seasonal collections are not regularly introduced, and the overall program appears commercially underdeveloped and largely invisible relative to the millions of visitors who come to Huntington Beach each year. Beyond the pier store, our research indicates widespread sales of Huntington Beach-branded apparel and products across the city, from liquor stores and small shops to major retail outlets, some openly selling HB-branded apparel with no licensing agreement and zero revenue return to the City. All of this unauthorized activity likely accounts for millions of dollars in annual sales that are completely lost to the city. 3. Financial Data (Indirect Impact) The current program generates very limited direct revenue for the City relative to the strength of the Huntington Beach brand. Financial evidence from 2024–2025 Surf City Store reports shows total reported sales of $1,515,215.94, with the City receiving only $75,760.81 in royalties under the current 5% structure. Average monthly sales were approximately $63,134, while the average monthly return to the City was approximately $3,157. This gap is significant because the value behind Huntington Beach-branded merchandise was built over decades through the identity, reputation, and cultural contributions of the community itself. Yet under the current structure, much of that value does not appear to be returning to the City in a meaningful way. From July through December 2025, more than $400,000 in reported sales appears to have generated only approximately $18,000 in revenue to the City. 4. Benchmark Comparison Other major coastal cities manage their brands far more aggressively. The iconic “I ❤NY” is reported to generate $30 million annually in revenue. Comparable coastal destinations with active, professionally managed licensing programs (including Santa Monica, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Miami Beach) generate $1 million to over $5 million per year in direct licensing and merchandise revenue through modern e-commerce platforms, regularly updated product lines, aggressive digital marketing, and reasonable royalty structures. 19 These cities capture a meaningful share through official branded merchandise. Huntington Beach, with stronger global surf and coastal recognition than most peers, receives virtually nothing in comparison. 5. Structural Risk The current third-party deal — combined with rampant unlicensed sales — is a raw, one-sided arrangement that is actively costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands (likely millions) of dollars every single year: ●A 5% royalty rate that hands the vast majority of profits to outside operators while the City gets almost nothing ●Revenue that belongs to the generations of Huntington Beach residents who built this brand is instead being pocketed by third parties ●Complete absence of any marketing or promotion — consumers who want official Huntington Beach merchandise literally cannot find it ●The absence of an official website, online store, or meaningful direct-to-consumer pathway is a major structural gap for a destination brand of this caliber. ●Weak audit rights, weak oversight, limited minimum protections, and reliance on outside reporting create avoidable exposure and potential for underreporting where the City should be demanding greater transparency and accountability. ●Severely undermarket pier space lease - A prime high traffic retail location appears to be operating under terms that do not reflect the value of the site or the traffic associated with it. ●Product execution appears stagnant, with limited evidence of the kind of ongoing design development, seasonal refreshes, and quality control expected in the $10+ billion surf market ●Widespread unlicensed sales at 50+ locations across the city, including major retailers here in the city, generating large amounts in unauthorized (and in some cases un-taxed) revenue with zero return to residents ●Missed retail partnerships, sponsorships, and brand extensions that other major destination cities are actively cashing in on That combination of weak economics, weak oversight, weak enforcement, and weak modern retail infrastructure does not reflect the standard that should apply to an asset of this magnitude. 6. Revenue Gap With $580 million (per VHB) in annual direct visitor spending, shopping and souvenirs typically account for 12-18% — representing a massive revenue opportunity. A professionally managed merchandising program should capture a meaningful share through official branded products. Instead, due to the outdated third-party agreement, complete lack of marketing, absence of any substantial online sales platform, stagnant product designs, rock-bottom terms, and the 20 explosion of unlicensed sales across multiple locations, the City is failing to capture even a fraction of this opportunity. Conservative annual lost opportunity due to ineffective merchandising and licensing: $500,000 – $1 million (with potential for $750,000 – $2 million net annually under internalized operations on $1M+ sales, plus millions more once unlicensed sales are brought under control and the program is built and structured. When outsiders control licensing under terrible terms and the City allows widespread unauthorized sales, it captures a tiny fraction of the value its brand actually justifies — value built by local generations and now being handed away for almost nothing. 7. Corrective Path Existing unlicensed sales should not be treated as a reason to avoid correction. They should be treated as proof that real demand exists and that the City has waited too long to bring this category under proper control. Rather than leading with immediate enforcement, the City should offer a short structured transition period for businesses that currently sell unlicensed HB merchandise and want to begin selling authentic merchandise through legitimate channels, including wholesale pricing, collaboration opportunities, and access to stronger official product collections. This approach allows the City to reestablish control, capture appropriate value, and bring willing retailers into a better system moving forward. Immediate ● Establish clear centralized authority for merchandising and licensing strategy ● Conduct a full audit of the existing third-party structure, including royalty terms, lease economics, sales history, audit rights. ● Finalize current trademark and IP protection work and define stronger product and licensing standards ● Identify the full scope of unauthorized, unlicensed, or weakly controlled retail activity tied to Huntington Beach branding Mid-Term ● Renegotiate, restructure, or replace the current underperforming arrangement where legally and operationally appropriate ● Launch an official City-controlled or City-governed e-commerce platform and direct-to-consumer sales system ● Develop stronger product lines aligned with current surf, coastal, and lifestyle demand ● Implement active marketing, authentication, and retail partnership strategies ● Establish a practical enforcement pathway for unauthorized or uncompensated commercial use of City brand assets Long-Term 21 ● Build internal licensing, merchandising, and creative capability sufficient to manage the category professionally ● Implement royalty and partnership structures with meaningful accountability, audit rights, and performance standards ● Create measurable performance benchmarks tied to direct revenue, sales growth, distribution reach, and brand protection ● Reinvest a portion of new merchandising revenue into the communications, creative, and operational infrastructure required to sustain and protect the broader Huntington Beach brand Key U.S. Tourism Expenditure Data (Shopping/Souvenirs): ● Overseas Tourists (2024): 18% of total spending, amounting to about $325 per trip. ● North American Tourists (2024): 12.8% of total spending, about $152 per trip. ● General Travelers: 25% of travelers list purchasing souvenirs as a financial priority. ● Spending Amount: Vacationers often spend between $50 and $200+ on merchandise and gifts per trip. Context on Spending Habits: ● Top Categories: Shopping is consistently ranked behind accommodation (30-35%) and food/beverage (20-21%). ● Buyer Behavior: Roughly 65% of Americans bring back souvenirs, with 44% gifting to family and 39% for themselves. Progress Already Underway: Strengthening Trademark and IP Protections At the forefront of Huntington Beach's globally recognized coastal identity are its logos and core visual marks—the instantly recognizable symbols that represent the city in merchandise, events, partnerships, and media worldwide. For years, our main city logo has remained unprotected or inadequately registered, leaving it vulnerable to unauthorized use, dilution, and lost licensing opportunities. This long standing gap has allowed value to slip away quietly, even as the city's brand continues to carry significant cultural and economic weight. During the audit, we conducted a deep review of all of the city's trademarks and intellectual property. We found that the city's original iconic HB logo mark was not properly registered or protected. Staff explained that past attempts years ago were abandoned after being told registration might not be possible due to widespread use by others. The matter was left unresolved. We took a fresh approach: identified the specific lapses (expired filings, incomplete applications, missed opportunities), the original curation process, and worked directly with the city's legal and 22 IP team. We gathered documentation, addressed the issues, and successfully restarted the protection process. Steps are now actively in progress to secure stronger registrations for these core brand elements—helping prevent unauthorized use, reduce dilution, and enable better enforcement and monetization. This is a clear example of what focused effort can accomplish: uncovering long-standing gaps and closing them through internal collaboration—no major obstacles, just persistence. This early progress shows that many audit findings are fixable with similar diligence. Securing foundational IP like logos is a critical first step toward reclaiming control over the city's brand value and stopping leakage in licensing and merchandising. Building on this momentum will help shift from a reactive to a proactive approach, delivering lasting benefits for the community. Additional opportunities: Beyond just apparel: The City is overlooking an easy, low-overhead revenue channel inside facilities it already owns and operates. The Art Center, libraries, and other public-facing spaces should function not just as civic amenities, but as retail touchpoints for Huntington Beach’s brand and creative identity. A kiosk-based merchandising system would allow visitors to purchase City-branded goods, art prints, photography, and other curated products onsite and have them shipped directly to their homes. That approach dramatically reduces risk,storage, staffing, and operational friction while expanding what the City can monetize. Huntington Beach has no shortage of talented local artists and world-class surf and lifestyle photographers whose work could be featured through this system. Under a revenue-share model, the City would participate in each sale while artists retain the balance, creating a program that supports both municipal revenue and the local creative economy. With minimal setup and management costs, these kiosks could become a meaningful tourism revenue tool while reinforcing the culture and visual identity that make Huntington Beach valuable in the first place. 8. MISSED OPPORTUNITIES & REVENUE: FILM COMMISSION 1. Discovery 23 Huntington Beach stands out as one of Southern California’s most versatile and underutilized filming destinations. Its iconic pier, expansive beaches, modern Civic Center, Equestrian Center, and Sports Complex, Pacific City, and variety of community housing styles give production companies a rare mix of coastal beauty and diverse inland locations that few competitors can match. Beyond direct revenue, successful film and television production delivers powerful cultural relevance, high-value earned media, authentic third-party voice amplification, and increased off-season tourism that can extend visitor stays and spending throughout the year. 2. Current Structure Film permitting is currently managed through a basic, decentralized process with modest fees and limited dedicated support that producers are used to. The program lacks proactive marketing, a streamlined one-stop shop experience, and a professional location library. While basic beach and pier permitting exists, the City currently does not actively promote its full range of unique assets or position itself as a competitive filming destination near Los Angeles. 3. Financial Data (Indirect Impact) Direct permit and location fees represent the most tangible and reliable form of revenue from film activity. Currently, these direct returns remain modest. At the same time, the broader economic impact of film production is enormous and can reach hundreds of millions of dollars for cities that actively pursue it. Industry data shows the average location shoot day generates $50,000-$670,000 in local spending and supports hundreds of jobs, while major productions can exceed $1.3 million per day in direct local economic activity. These dollars flow into hotels, restaurants, transportation, retail, and local suppliers — especially valuable during off-season months — while also creating lasting cultural relevance, earned media exposure, and positive third-party amplification that drives future tourism and visitation. 4. Benchmark Comparison Several peer cities have built professional film commissions that generate both meaningful direct revenue and massive economic impact. San Francisco’s Film SF collected $127,000 in direct permit fees (This does not include staffing, or location use or any other fees) in FY 2024-25 while driving $17.5 million in estimated direct production spending. Fort Worth’s Film Commission has generated over $800 million in cumulative economic impact since 2016 through focused outreach. Nashville’s broader arts, culture, and creativity economy has been reported by Metro planning materials at approximately $13 billion annually, and a single major production — ‘9-1-1: Nashville’ — is expected to generate more than $50 million in local economic impact. Comparable coastal destinations like Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Miami Beach maintain dedicated offices with competitive fees, active marketing, and 24 streamlined processes that attract productions and deliver both direct fees and hundreds of millions in broader economic benefits. 5. Structural Gaps The current structure presents several opportunities for improvement that would help the City fully realize its potential: ● Absence of a dedicated Film Commission or centralized one-stop permitting office ● Limited relationships, marketing and outreach to productions and location scouts ● Under-promotion of the City’s diverse non-beach assets (Civic Center, Equestrian Center, Pacific City, Sports Complex, etc) ● Multi-department coordination that can slow response times (including the current requirement that applicants obtain a separate business license before even submitting a film permit application — a step that is not typical in peer cities and production process) ● No proactive strategy to highlight speed, efficiency, and location diversity that could undercut larger jurisdictions These gaps mean Huntington Beach is not yet fully capitalizing on productions that could deliver direct revenue, economic value and valuable earned media exposure. 6. Revenue Gap Huntington Beach has the locations and proximity to Los Angeles to compete effectively — particularly by offering faster permitting turnaround and greater location diversity than many parts of LA. Professional programs in comparable destinations routinely generate $125,000 to several million in annual direct revenue, while driving tens to hundreds of millions in broader economic impact (e.g., Fort Worth’s ~$800M cumulative since 2016, San Francisco’s $17.5M direct spending in one year). Currently, due to the absence of a dedicated Film Commission, limited marketing, outdated processes, and lack of streamlined permitting, the City is not capturing its full potential in either direct revenue or indirect benefits, or economic impact. Conservative annual lost opportunity due to under-developed film permitting: $100,000 – $1 million + in direct revenue (plus multi-million-dollar economic impact, earned media value, and off-season tourism lift once the program scales). 7. Corrective Path Immediate: ● Establish a centralized Film Commission with clear responsibility for permitting, marketing, and revenue strategy ● Conduct a full review of current fees, processes, and past production inquiries ● Develop streamlined one-stop permitting guidelines 25 Mid-Term: ● Launch a dedicated Film Commission with fast-track permitting designed to undercut Los Angeles on speed and ease (target 48-72 hour turnaround) ● Create a professional location library and comprehensive production resource book for producers, including local workforce talent, hotels, parking, and other production resources ● Update fees to competitive levels with improved tracking ● Initiate active outreach to location managers and production companies (leveraging current staff to grow the program with minimal additional stress until revenue supports dedicated staffing) Long-Term: ● Build professional in-house location management and creative partnership capabilities ● Establish a high-performance permitting framework focused on both direct revenue and earned media outcomes ● Set measurable goals tied to permit revenue, production days, and off-season tourism impact ● Direct new film revenue into communications, creative departments, and public asset maintenance Source Data ● City of Huntington Beach Film, Video and Still Photography Permit Fees (2024) ● Film SF Annual Impact Report FY 2024-25 ($127,000 permit fees, $17.5M direct spending) ● California Production Coalition: average location shoot adds $670,000/day and 1,500 jobs ● Fort Worth Film Commission economic impact reports (2016–2025 data showing nearly $800 million cumulative impact, recent annual ~$1B) ● Tennessee Entertainment Commission 2025 Economic Impact Report ($8.2 billion in entertainment production clusters for 2024, including film/TV) ● FilmLA & peer city reports (2024–2025) ● Film Santa Monica, Long Beach, Miami Beach, Fort Worth, and Nashville Film Commission data (public documents, 2025–2026) ● UNWTO and industry analyses on direct film revenue vs. earned media, tourism, and economic multipliers ● Internal City tracking of production activity (2023–2025) 9. MISMANAGED & UNDERUTILIZED ASSET: ART CENTER 1. Discovery Huntington Beach owns and operates a dedicated Art Center in a high-visibility location, supported by decades of community investment, public support, and taxpayer funding. On paper, it offers classes, camps, events, exhibitions, and artist programs that should contribute to the City’s creative life and welcoming coastal identity. In practice, however, the Center appears to remain relatively unknown not only regionally and nationally, but within Huntington Beach itself. Public awareness, foot traffic, participation, and overall utilization appear limited. Much of the programming feels more insular than open and inviting, and does not clearly reinforce Huntington Beach’s identity as a fun, welcoming, family-friendly coastal destination. 26 The issue is not that the Art Center lacks value opportunity. The issue is that much of that value is not fully reaching the community. There appears to be limited general awareness among residents about what is happening there, who it serves, and why it matters. Its programs, exhibitions, and activities do not appear to generate the level of participation, excitement, cultural relevance, or civic benefit that comparable city-run arts facilities often provide. As a result, an asset that should be helping elevate local artists, expand community engagement, and strengthen Huntington Beach’s creative identity is operating below its potential. The opportunity is not simply financial, but civic and cultural: to make the Art Center more visible, more welcoming, more connected to residents, and more valuable to the artists and audiences it should be serving. Many exhibitions also appear to receive little meaningful press attention or lasting public documentation. In many cases, once a show closes, there is little to no accessible visual archive, photo gallery, or digital record that allows residents, visitors, collectors, or supporters to see what was exhibited. That limits the public reach of the work, reduces long-tail exposure for participating artists, and reflects a broader weakness in the City’s PR, content capture, and cultural documentation efforts. A city-run gallery should not only host exhibitions well in the moment, but also preserve and extend their value through visibility, promotion, and accessible online archives for those who could not attend in person or wish to revisit the work after the exhibition has ended. In addition, many exhibitions appear to lack supporting print, merchandise, or take-home purchase opportunities tied to the show itself. That creates a missed opportunity both for participating artists, who lose additional exposure and sales potential, and for the City, which loses a practical and low-friction revenue capture channel connected directly to its own cultural programming. 2. Current Structure The Art Center seems to operate with little to no integrated revenue strategy beyond the offered community art classes. Programming focuses almost exclusively on small shows and regional artists. There is no gallery sales commission program, no on-site or online retail/merchandise operation, no market-rate facility rentals, and no formal sponsorship or branded partnership framework. Oversight is split between City departments and external nonprofit/Foundation support, with limited coordination or performance accountability tied to financial return or community impact and engagement. 3. Financial Data (Indirect Impact) The City fully subsidizes operations. FY 25-26 Revised Expenditures ● Admin (Personnel + Operating): $437,399 ● Classes (Personnel + Operating): $97,856 ● Total City Cost: $535,255 27 Revenues (Full-Year Projection Based on YTD) ● Class/Camp fees: ~$83,451–$107,708 (explicitly covers only instructor/program costs) ● Memberships: ~$2,725 ● Artist Council fees: ~$6,407 ● Rentals & Special Events: ~$5,240 ● Total Revenue: ~$97,823–$114,178 Net Annual Subsidy to the Art Center: $421,000 – $437,000 in taxpayer dollars. The revenue generated by activities at this City-owned facility rightfully belongs, at least in part, to the residents who built and maintain the brand and infrastructure — yet virtually none returns to the General Fund. 4. Benchmark Comparison Comparable coastal-city cultural facilities treat their centers as revenue-generating assets that actively elevate both the institution and local artists. Laguna Art Museum generated $3.27 million in total revenue in 2024 through gallery/exhibition sales and commissions. Long Beach Museum of Art Foundation reported $2.17 million in revenue in 2024. These and other peer institutions routinely feature nationally and internationally renowned artists alongside local talent, capturing 20–50% commissions while dramatically increasing the market value of regional artists through association and exposure. Huntington Beach does not participate in or compete with major regional events such as Newport Beach’s art festivals or Laguna Beach’s Festival of the Arts, missing out on shared tourism and cross-promotion that other cities actively leverage. 5. Structural Gaps The current model creates clear vulnerabilities: ● Heavy General Fund subsidy with no requirement for break-even or revenue-sharing ● Programming that feels exclusionary and insular, focusing almost exclusively on small shows and regional artists, rendering the Center incapable of curating exhibitions with nationally or internationally renowned artists ● Complete absence of gallery sales commissions, on-site city branded retail, or branded art merchandise ● Minimal facility rental income and no corporate/private event strategy ● No collaboration with hotels or other local partners to build community experiences around major festivals, and no participation in or alongside Newport or Laguna events ● Missed opportunities to elevate local artists’ value by placing their work beside major names — an approach proven to deliver immeasurable uplift in artist prestige, sales, and tourism draw 28 These gaps mean the City is subsidizing cultural programming while capturing almost none of the economic upside created by its own brand and location and the majority of the community never participates in the value it generates. 6. Revenue Gap With hundreds of thousands of annual visitors and a globally recognized coastal identity, the Art Center should at minimum break even and ideally generate net revenue. Comparable facilities routinely produce $200,000 – $600,000+ in direct annual revenue (and in stronger cases millions) through commissions, rentals, events, and retail. Instead, Huntington Beach is subsidizing the operation to the tune of $421,000 – $437,000 (this number not including maintenance or utilities cost) per year with virtually no return. This represents a clear structural failure to monetize a public asset tied to the City’s brand and to compete for the tourism and cultural value flowing to neighboring cities’ festivals. Conservative annual lost opportunity / subsidy reduction potential: $400,000 – $750,000 (through commissions, rentals, retail/merch, major-artist exhibitions, festival collaboration, and broader community outreach — turning the current subsidy into breakeven or positive contribution within 2–3 years). 7. Corrective Path The Art Center is a meaningful civic asset. The challenge is making sure its value is more visible, more accessible, and more fully delivered to the artists, residents and visitors it should be serving. That begins with increasing public awareness, improving the accessibility and visibility of programming, and more intentionally positioning the Center as a community-serving and regionally / nationally recognized cultural hub rather than a facility known only to a narrow audience. The goal should be to create a stronger bridge between the Art Center, local artists, residents, and tourists. With the right structure and attention, the Art Center can at least break even on its operating costs as well as become a more visible source of community pride, a stronger platform for Huntington Beach artists, and a more valuable cultural asset for the residents. Immediate: ● Establish centralized oversight with clear revenue targets, performance metrics, and community-engagement goals ● Conduct a full audit of operations, agreements, revenue opportunities, and current public awareness/perception ● Define brand standards for any future partnerships, programs or shows. Mid-Term: 29 ● Implement a professional gallery/exhibition commission program and actively curate shows featuring nationally/internationally renowned artists alongside local talent ● implement a consistent system for professionally photographing, cataloging, and archiving every exhibition, ensuring that each show remains accessible online as a lasting public resource and an ongoing source of visibility for participating artists. ● Launch on-site and online retail/merchandise tied to the Huntington Beach brand ● Introduce and promote market-rate facility rentals and corporate/private event packages ● Develop sponsorship and Artist Council revenue-sharing framework ● Audit & Performance overhaul of how the HBAC oversight currently functions ● Begin collaboration with hotels and participation alongside Newport and Laguna festivals to build joint community experiences ● Mentorship programs and classes between renowned artists and local artists. Long-Term: ● Build integrated creative and merchandising capacity (leveraging existing staff and internships) ● Establish performance metrics tied to direct revenue, subsidy reduction, artist elevation, tourism impact, and community utilization/awareness ● Direct all new Art Center revenue back into cultural programming and General Fund support so residents finally benefit from the asset they fund Sources - City of Huntington Beach – General Fund Art Center Accounts (FY 24/25 Actuals & FY 25-26 Revised/YTD, provided March 2026) - Laguna Art Museum – ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer (FY 2024 revenue $3.27M) - Long Beach Museum of Art Foundation – ProPublica / CauseIQ (FY 2024 revenue $2.17M) - Santa Monica FY 2025-27 Adopted Biennial Budget (Recreation & Arts Department context) - Industry benchmarks: Licensing International (LIMA) and American Alliance of Museums reports on gallery commission rates (20–50%) and cultural facility earned revenue models - Laguna Beach Pageant of the Masters and Newport Beach arts festival public attendance/economic reports (2024–2025) 10. UNDERVALUED: FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION 1. Discovery Huntington Beach has built one of the largest Independence Day celebrations in the country, consistently drawing 300,000–500,000 attendees and earning a regional television partner and coverage during the parade event. We’ve done an excellent job attracting that scale of crowd and showcasing our patriotic, family-friendly Surf City identity. What we haven’t done as well is capitalize on the opportunity this creates. The focus of this section is not to be a profit generator for the city, but to secure more funding that elevates the parade’s production quality and delivers a richer, more memorable experience for residents, families, and visitors, this in turn, will grow our earned media, and event prestige. 30 Right now the event lacks many of the high-impact elements that would make it truly special: elaborate floats, celebrity appearances, large helium balloons, live drone streaming of our fireworks show for those who can’t attend and larger community activation zones and other events that could bridge the morning parade and evening fireworks into a full-day celebration. While we draw the crowds, we currently lack a strong third-party voice, sustained social media presence, and meaningful post-event media coverage — clear evidence that we are missing the kind of engaging, memorable moments that people naturally want to share and talk about long after the day ends. National brands with patriotic, family-oriented values cannot replicate access to our unique audience size and demographic. With a professional sponsorship approach, we could partner with them to fund those missing pieces and turn the parade into something even more extraordinary for the entire community. 2. Current Structure The parade is organized primarily through a contract event production with limited City oversight. Sponsorship packages exist (tiers from $1,000 to $6,000+ for banners, bleachers, announcing, etc.), but there is no evidence of a dedicated sponsorship sales team, no professional outreach to large national brands, and no strategy for premium corporate partnerships or branded integrations. The City provides the prime route, public safety, infrastructure, and brand prestige, while the contractor manages production. There is no centralized city-led effort or sales team to maximize sponsorship revenue for better floats, helium balloons, staging, or other elements that enhance family appeal and overall quality. 3. Financial Data (Indirect Impact) Direct City revenue from the parade remains minimal, with the event relying almost entirely on private fundraising rather than taxpayer dollars. Revenue streams include sponsorships, parade entry fees (e.g., $1,200+ for business/group entries), VIP/bleacher tickets, general donations, and ancillary on-site sales—all managed through the professional contractor, PSQ Productions (hired under a multi-year Professional Services Contract approved by the City Council in 2024). The contractor reports an annual production budget need of approximately $500,000+, covering high-cost items like the fireworks display over the ocean (a major expense), parade logistics (barricades, sound systems, staging, insurance, permits), the Surf City 5K, marketing and earned media (including TV coverage on KABC), entertainment, safety, cleanup, and more. The City contributes in-kind support (police/fire/public works overtime, permits), but the bulk is privately raised. While PSQ Productions provides professional management to handle the event's massive scale the dollars—or lack thereof—highlight a clear shortfall in sales and sponsorship pursuit. 31 Despite all of the high-value promotional opportunities and a dedicated sponsorship contact/channel, insufficient or inconsistent sponsorship and donation revenue persists—suggesting a lack of proactive, high-effort sales outreach (e.g., targeted corporate pitches, leveraging attendee demographics for premium activations, or expanding beyond basic tiers). This leaves the city forcing compromises on production quality—such as smaller-scale fireworks, fewer high-impact entries, reduced media, or limited "wow factor" elements—which diminishes long-term event prestige, community excitement, and growth potential. The true return is indirect: earned media amplification, boosted family tourism, and reinforced brand value for Huntington Beach. However, with stronger, more aggressive sponsorship sales aligned to the event's unmatched assets, revenue could more reliably meet or exceed needs—unlocking higher production standards, greater sustainability under professional management, and even expanded programming without relying so heavily on donations or cutting corners. 4. Benchmark Comparison Comparable large-scale parades and events treat sponsorship as a professional revenue engine to fund premium production and visibility. ● Rose Parade (Pasadena) generates $1M–$5M+ in direct sponsorships to support elaborate floats and broadcast quality. ● Regional events like the Surf City Marathon (Huntington Beach, ~18,000–22,000 participants) secure a title sponsor that brings in over $200,000 alone, funding a beautiful, high-quality event despite much smaller attendance. ● Brands like Carnival Cruiseline regularly commit $100,000+ just to sponsor the fireworks portion of San Diego's Big Bay Boom 4th of July celebration. These examples show that even smaller-scale events monetize sponsorships effectively through professional sales. Huntington Beach’s parade — with 15–25x the crowd and televised exposure — severely under-prices and under-sells its opportunity. 5. Structural Gaps The current model creates clear vulnerabilities: ● No dedicated sponsorship sales team or professional outreach to large national brands, resulting in low pricing and limited premium partnerships ● Sponsorship tiers capped at $6,000 despite massive attendance and TV coverage — far below market rates for comparable visibility ● Insufficient revenue to fund high-quality production (e.g., elaborate floats, helium balloons, professional staging), lowering appeal and reducing overall impact ● Missed opportunities for premium branding, corporate integrations, or merchandise tie-ins that could amplify earned media and third-party voice 32 ● No formal collaboration with hotels, tourism partners, or national brands to package experiences around the event ● Limited City oversight or strategy to maximize sponsorship revenue while keeping the parade free and community-focused These gaps mean the parade under-delivers on production quality and brand amplification despite its massive scale. Missed Merchandising Opportunity – Americas 250 Huntington Beach’s three-day Fourth of July celebration creates a massive short-term captive audience — especially with America’s 250th birthday in 2026 driving huge demand for patriotic souvenirs and commemorative items. A third-party deal with a local surf shop currently gives them 70% of official parade merchandise sales, leaving only 30% for parade organizers. There is no valid reason to hand the majority of this one-weekend windfall to an outside entity when the crowd, the event, and the historic milestone belong to Huntington Beach residents and taxpayers. A city-controlled merchandising program — on-site booths, pre-sale, limited-edition 250th anniversary t-shirts, hats, flags, beach towels, and collectibles — could realistically generate $250,000 or more in revenue over the three-day weekend (conservative estimate based on high-attendance holiday event benchmarks and the expected semiquincentennial surge). Missed Opportunity: America 250 Exhibition at the Huntington Beach Art Center With America’s 250th birthday this year, Huntington Beach has a prime chance to host a highly curated “Americana” gallery exhibition at the Art Center — featuring patriotic themes, historical reinterpretations, Veteran artists and works from both established and emerging artists that celebrate our nation’s journey. This show timed to coincide with the Fourth of July weekend could draw significant regional and national tourism and media. This would create a major cultural draw, generate earned media, boost third-party voice, and position the HBAC as a meaningful tourism destination in the city. It could also produce direct revenue through commissions on featured works, and limited-edition prints/merchandise — all while elevating the facility’s national recognition and giving local artists exposure alongside bigger names. Instead, the opportunity remains untapped, leaving the HBAC disconnected from one of the most significant cultural moments of the century and missing both tourism and prestige gains that neighboring cities would aggressively pursue. 6. Revenue Gap 33 Our Independence day celebration attracts 300,000–500,000 attendees and significant TV coverage, yet sponsorship revenue remains low due to under-pricing and lack of professional sales. Comparable events (e.g., Surf City Marathon with ~22,000 participants securing >$200K from a single title sponsor) demonstrate that a dedicated sales approach can generate substantial funding for quality. Huntington Beach struggles to cover enhanced production costs, limiting floats, helium, and other family-friendly elements. Conservative annual lost sponsorship opportunity: $200,000 – $1,000,000 (through higher-tier pricing, national brand partnerships, and premium integrations — enough to dramatically improve parade quality, increase earned media value, and strengthen community pride without charging admission). 7. Corrective Path Immediate: ● Establish more integrated City oversight for creative,event functions and sponsorship strategy with clear revenue and production-quality targets ● Conduct a full review of current sponsorship agreements, pricing, and production costs ● Define unified premium sponsorship guidelines tied to the Huntington Beach brand Mid-Term: ● Launch a professional sponsorship sales effort (dedicated team or contractor) targeting national brands for higher-tier packages (leveraging televised exposure and crowd size) ● Introduce premium branding opportunities (e.g., title sponsorships, branded floats, helium integrations) to fund production upgrades ● Strengthen coordination with hotels and tourism partners for packaged family experiences ● Develop proactive media outreach to boost national coverage and third-party amplification Long-Term: ● Expend Event & Celebrity Activations ● Build professional sponsorship capacity (leveraging existing staff and internships) ● Establish performance metrics tied to sponsorship revenue, production quality, earned media value, and tourism lift ● Direct all new sponsorship revenue back into parade production, public safety, and community programs so residents benefit from a higher-quality event Sources ● City-provided parade sponsorship and cost estimates (internal documents, 2024–2025) ● Public attendance estimates and economic impact reports for Huntington Beach 4th of July Parade (local media and tourism authority data, 2023–2025) ● Surf City Marathon attendance and sponsorship reports (Running USA, local news, 2025–2026: ~18,000–22,000 participants; title sponsor >$200K) ● Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade sponsorship revenue benchmarks (Licensing International and event industry reports) 34 ● Rose Parade and regional 4th of July event financial summaries (Pasadena Tournament of Roses, coastal city festival reports) ● Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Long Beach 4th of July event public budgets and sponsorship data (2024–2025) 11. Overburdened & Reactive In many areas, Huntington Beach operates in a reactive mode rather than a proactive one, in part, because our creative staff is severely overburdened. Creative teams across departments are stretched thin or don’t exist, responding to immediate demands instead of actively identifying and pursuing high-value opportunities. Without dedicated creative leadership, brand infrastructure, and modern systems to coordinate efforts, the City lacks the capacity to bridge departments, meaningfully collaborate with key stakeholders across the city, or drive strategic initiatives that turn our Surf City identity into real economic and community value. All the issues we’ve examined — merchandising, film permitting, the Art Center, the Fourth of July parade, and others — may seem separate, but they are deeply symbiotic. Together they form a powerful ecosystem: better brand management fuels stronger tourism, stronger events drive higher merchandising and sponsorship revenue, improved cultural assets elevate third-party voice and earned media, and proactive collaboration across these areas creates richer community experiences while generating sustainable returns. Growth doesn’t happen through reactive fixes — it comes from intentional communication, coordination, and creative direction focused on harnessing these interconnected opportunities. We’ve barely scratched the surface of identifying opportunities with just a few short weeks of research. The potential we’ve uncovered so far is only the beginning — there are likely dozens more levers waiting to be pulled. These opportunities aren’t just about revenue; they can generate funding to help ease the burden on our overburdened staff, allowing them to shift from constant firefighting to strategic, proactive work that benefits the entire community. Our brand is one of the City’s most valuable and overlooked assets: globally recognized, built over generations by residents, and capable of delivering millions in revenue and enhanced quality of life if managed proactively. Until we address staff overburdening, invest in creative leadership, and build the infrastructure and systems needed to operate strategically, we will continue missing significant revenue, tourism lift, and community value. Our brand deserves proactive care — not just reactive maintenance. 12. MISSED OPPORTUNITIES - CIVIC PATHWAYS 35 During our research we noticed a lack of internship programs throughout many areas of the city. A developed program can ease burden on city staff and provide youth with meaningful opportunities to help shape their futures. From Volunteering to Viable Futures — Building Local Talent That Stays Huntington Beach is rich in talent, pride, and civic culture — but we are losing our youth to other cities. Not because they don’t love this place, but because we haven’t given them a clear, visible path to build a future here. We already run some of the best youth programs in the country: the world-class Junior Lifeguard program builds discipline, leadership, and physical excellence; the Police Explorers program delivers real exposure to public safety and civic responsibility. These prove Huntington Beach knows how to create elite, structured opportunities for young people. The problem is scope: these programs are exceptional but narrow — focused on specific careers and not available to every student. Broader volunteer opportunities across departments are valuable, but they are mostly adult-oriented, short-term, service-based, and not tied to skill-building, certifications, or employment pipelines. They answer “How can I help?” — not “What can I become here?” The Gap Huntington Beach currently lacks: ● A city-wide youth career pipeline ● Internships embedded in departments ● Clear pathways from high school → training → local employment or industry careers As a result: ● Our most capable students leave for cities with better opportunities ● Trades, creative fields, and technical roles struggle to recruit locally ● Civic careers remain invisible to the next generation The Solution: Civic Pathways Initiative A structured, city-wide internship and apprenticeship system for high-school students — paid and non-paid — spanning every department and industry: libraries, parks, media, design, public works, skilled trades, administration, and more. This complements (does not replace) existing volunteer, Junior Lifeguard, and Police Explorers programs — it’s the natural evolution. Program Structure ● Tier 1: Civic Exploration (Ages 15–16) — Short rotations (6–8 weeks) for discovery and exposure 36 ● Tier 2: Civic Internships (Ages 16–18) — Non-paid, semester/summer programs/roles with real deliverables and skill-building ● Tier 3: Civic Apprenticeships (18+) — Direct workforce tracks with unions, contractors, and priority city hiring Department-Specific Pathways (Examples) ● Library & Cultural Services → Digital archiving, event programming, community storytelling ● Parks, Recreation & Beaches → Environmental stewardship, facilities operations ● Media, Film & Communications → Video production, social media, event documentation (major strategic advantage for in-house capacity) ● Design & Creative Services → Graphic design, branding support ● Public Works & Skilled Trades → Electrical/plumbing/HVAC shadowing, safety certifications, union pipelines ● City Administration → Policy research, budgeting, operations Integration ● Partner with HB Union High School District for Career Technical Education alignment, work-study credit, and merit-based applications ● Each participant gets a mentor, clear goals, evaluations, work samples, certifications, and recommendation letters Funding & Sustainability Low-risk model: ● Workforce development grants ● Business/union partnerships ● Long-term savings from reduced outsourcing, faster recruitment, and local talent retention Why This Matters This initiative: ● Keeps talent local and builds generational ownership ● Strengthens the workforce across departments ● Creates debt-free career paths in high-demand fields ● Turns youth engagement into long-term civic and economic value The city already knows how to run elite youth programs — They’ve proven it on our beaches and in public safety. Now it’s time to bring that same excellence to libraries, trades, media, design, and civic leadership. When young people can see a real future here, they’ll stop looking elsewhere. 37 Other cities recruit talent. Huntington Beach can grow it — and keep it. MOVING FORWARD What comes next is an opportunity to fix broken systems and rebuild the city’s revenue engines. The opportunities outlined in this report represent only the initial layer of what may be possible. After only a few weeks of research, this research has already identified several areas where improved coordination, modernized agreements, and stronger infrastructure could generate millions in additional value while improving the experience of residents, visitors, and businesses alike. There are likely many more opportunities still waiting to be uncovered. With the right systems in place — and with the collaboration of City leadership, staff, community stakeholders, and industry partners — Huntington Beach has the potential not only to protect its identity, but to turn that identity into a powerful engine for sustainable economic growth, cultural relevance, and community pride. The goal moving forward is not simply to identify problems, but to help build the infrastructure, partnerships, and institutional knowledge that allow the city to operate independently, confidently, and strategically in managing the Surf City brand.

Page 3 of 17 4. COMPENSATION In consideration of the Services to be performed under this Agreement and Exhibit A, City shall pay Consultant a fixed monthly retainer in the amount of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) payable in twenty-four (24) monthly installments. In no event shall the total compensation paid to Consultant exceed Seven Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($720,000.00.). The first payment will be due 5 days after City’s receipt of the initial Monthly Progress Deliverable, and following payments will be due the first Friday of every month thereafter. Consultant shall submit, on or before the 21st of each month, (i) an invoice for the applicable billing period, and (ii) a Monthly Progress Deliverable, and City shall pay the applicable monthly installment on the first Friday of every month thereafter. “Monthly Progress Deliverable” means a monthly submission evidencing substantive advancement of the Scope of Services, which may include progress summaries, strategic plans, recommendations, draft or final materials, implementation updates, milestone tracking, issue logs, requested City actions or approvals, and other documentation showing material progress across the contracted programs. The parties acknowledge that the Services under this Agreement consist of an ongoing professional engagement across multiple concurrent initiatives, including strategy, development, implementation, coordination, system design, operational buildout, creative direction, program development, oversight, and milestone advancement. Accordingly, monthly payment shall not require the completion of a final end-product or fully completed milestone in any individual month, provided that Consultant has materially advanced the Services and submitted the required invoice and Monthly Progress Deliverable. Page 4 of 17 City review of each Monthly Progress Deliverable shall be limited to confirming that Consultant has materially performed and advanced the contracted Services during the applicable billing period. City may not withhold payment based on subjective preference, discretionary dissatisfaction, or the absence of a fully completed long-term milestone where measurable progress has been made within the Scope of Services. Unless City provides written notice within five (5) business days after receipt of the invoice and Monthly Progress Deliverable identifying with reasonable specificity a material deficiency in Consultant’s performance for the applicable billing period, the Monthly Progress Deliverable shall be deemed accepted for payment purposes, and receipt of such invoice and Monthly Progress Deliverable shall automatically trigger payment of the applicable monthly installment on the first Friday of the immediately following month. Any objection to a Monthly Progress Deliverable must be made in writing and must describe with reasonable specificity the alleged deficiency. City may withhold only the specific portion of payment reasonably related to a properly noticed and substantiated deficiency, and City shall timely pay all undisputed amounts when due. All City-specific deliverables produced under this agreement shall become the property of the City upon payment for services rendered. Certain initiatives, programs, or operational improvements recommended or developed by the CONSULTANT under this agreement may require additional funding, budget allocations, or expenditures by the City in order to implement at the City’s sole discretion. The Consultant can achieve milestones without major city financial expenditure. In addition, the performance of services under this agreement may require reasonable project-related expenses, including but not limited to specialty travel, production costs, materials, Page 5 of 17 third-party services, or other costs necessary to support the execution of approved initiatives. The CONSULTANT shall not incur any of these expenses on behalf of the City without prior written authorization from the City Manager. Any approved project-related expenses shall be reimbursed by the City if pre-approved by the City Manager. If implementation of a program requires City funding approval, procurement processes, or third-party contracting, the associated project timelines and deliverable schedules shall be adjusted to reflect the City’s approval and funding process. Any additional funding, other than set forth in Compensation section, shall be subject to approval by the City Manager. 5. EXTRA WORK In the event CITY requires additional services not included in Exhibit "A" or changes in the scope of services described in Exhibit "A," CONSULTANT will undertake such work only after receiving written authorization from CITY. Additional compensation for such extra work shall be allowed only if the prior written approval of CITY is obtained. 6. METHOD OF PAYMENT CONSULTANT shall be paid pursuant to the terms set forth herein and Exhibit "B." 7. DISPOSITION OF PLANS, ESTIMATES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS CONSULTANT agrees that title to all materials prepared hereunder, including, without limitation, all original drawings, designs, reports, both field and office notices, calculations, computer code, language, data or programs, maps, memoranda, letters and other documents, shall belong to CITY, and CONSULTANT shall turn these materials over to CITY Page 6 of 17 upon expiration or termination of this Agreement or upon PROJECT completion, whichever shall occur first. These materials may be used by CITY as it sees fit. 8. HOLD HARMLESS CONSULTANT agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless CITY, its officers, elected or appointed officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all third-party claims, damages, losses, expenses, demands and defense costs, including costs and attorney’s fees, but only to the extent arising out of the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT, its officers, agents, employees, or approved subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement. CONSULTANT shall have no obligation under this Section to the extent any such claim arises from the negligence, willful misconduct, directions, approvals, content, or independent acts or omissions of CITY or third parties not under CONSULTANT’S direction or control. CONSULTANT’S obligations under this Section shall be limited to matters within the scope of services under this Agreement and shall not extend to final governmental decisions, legal compliance determinations reserved to CITY, procurement decisions, budget approvals, permitting decisions, or operational acts undertaken exclusively by CITY. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the total cumulative liability of CONSULTANT to CITY arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) the total compensation actually paid by CITY to CONSULTANT under this Agreement; or (ii) the proceeds actually available under any insurance required to be maintained by CONSULTANT under this Agreement. This limitation shall not apply to damages arising from CONSULTANT’S fraud or willful misconduct, or to the extent such limitation is prohibited by applicable law. Page 7 of 17 CONSULTANT shall have no claim against the City for third-party claims, damages, losses, expenses, demands and defense costs, including costs and attorney’s fees, in law or equity, regarding any challenge to this Agreement such as the contracting process, directions, approvals, content, or independent acts or omissions of CITY or third parties not under CONSULTANT’S direction or control 9. PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE CONSULTANT shall obtain and furnish to CITY a professional liability insurance policy covering the work performed by it hereunder. This policy shall provide coverage for CONSULTANT’s professional liability in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and in the aggregate. The above-mentioned insurance shall not contain a self-insured retention without the express written consent of CITY; however an insurance policy "deductible" of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or less is permitted. A claims-made policy shall be acceptable if the policy further provides that: A. The policy retroactive date coincides with or precedes the initiation of the scope of work (including subsequent policies purchased as renewals or replacements). B. CONSULTANT shall notify CITY of circumstances or incidents that might give rise to future claims. CONSULTANT will make every effort to maintain similar insurance during the required extended period of coverage following PROJECT completion. If insurance is terminated for any reason, CONSULTANT agrees to purchase an extended reporting provision of at least two (2) years to report claims arising from work performed in connection with this Agreement. Page 8 of 17 If CONSULTANT fails or refuses to produce or maintain the insurance required by this section or fails or refuses to furnish the CITY with required proof that insurance has been procured and is in force and paid for, the CITY shall have the right, at the CITY’s election, to forthwith terminate this Agreement. Such termination shall not affect CONSULTANT’s right to be paid for its time and materials expended prior to notification of termination. CONSULTANT waives the right to receive compensation and agrees to indemnify the CITY for any work performed prior to approval of insurance by the CITY. 10.

The City maintains discretion on which programs to implement which will not affect the CONSULTANT’s milestone deliverables. Once these elements are transferred, they cannot be practically removed or reversed. If the City elects to terminate this agreement prior to completion of the contracted scope of work for reasons other than termination for cause, the City shall compensate the CONSULTANT for: all services performed through the effective date of termination; completed deliverables not yet invoiced; A termination payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the remaining unpaid contract balance. The termination payment reflects the remaining value of the engagement that cannot be recovered or withdrawn once the work has begun.
