INTRODUCTION This Report to the City Council ("City Council") of the Citjt of Seal Beach ("City") on the proposed Redevelopment Plan (' Redevelopment Plan") for the Surfside Redevelopment Project ("Project") has been prepared by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Seal Beach ("Agency-") ~ursuant to the California Community Redevelopment Law ("CRL I; Health and Safety Code, Section 33000, et seq.), specifically Section 33352 thereof to: 1. Advise the Citr Council on the reasons for the selection of the geographica area' encompassed by the boundaries of the proposed Project (the "Project Area"); 2. Describe the phys ica1 , social and economic conditions existing in the Project Area; 3. Discuss the proposed method of financing the redevelopment of the Project Area; 4. Note that no property acquisition is contemplated under the proposed Redevelopment Plan, and therefore no persoDs, families, owners, tenants or businesses, will be temporarily or permanently displaced from the Project Area. Accordingly, no plan and method of relocation is required. S. Analyze the project pre1iminaTy plan ("Preliminary Plan") formulated for the Project Area by the Planning Commiuion of the City of Seal Beach ("Planning Commission") ; 6. Include the report and recommendations of the Planning Commission on the proposed Redevelopment Plan, and the report required by Section 65402 of the GoveTnment Code; 7. Provide a record of meetings with residents and community organizations to consult with and obtain the advice of such persons and organizations concerning Project matters; 8. Note that the limited scope and emergency nature of the redevelopment activities proposed within the (I-1) - I I I I Katz HolI is Project Area preclude the necessity of preparing an environmental impact report on the effects of adopting and implementing the proposed Redevelopment Plan; 9. Include the report of the Orange County Auditor-Controller (fiscal officer) on the proposed Project; 10. Note that neither Orange County nor any affected taxing agency called for the creation of a fiscal review committee to report to the Agency on the fiscal impact of the proposed Redevelopment Plan; 11. Note that the nature of the proposed Project precludes the necessity of preparing a neighborhood impact report describing the effects of the proposed Project upon residents and the surrounding areas; and 12. Anal,ze the report of the Orange County Auditor-Controller (fiscal officer) on the proposed Project, and to sUIDIDarize the Agency's consultantions with affected taxing agencies. (1-2) - I I I I Katz Hollis II. REASONS FOR SELECTION OF PROJECT AREA The Project Area of the proposed Surfs ide Redevelopment Project, as approved by the Planning Commission, generally encompasses the Surfs ide Colony portion of the City, and is more particularly described in Section III of this Report to City Council. The selection of the Project Area was based upon and ftuided by a report prepared br Agency staff entitled, Surfside Colony Blight Report', which showed that the proposed Project Area suffers from certain physical liabilities including the existence of inadequate public improvements, facilities and utilities, and the existence of lots or other areas subject to being submerged by water, and that these characteristics of blight cause a reduction of, and in some cases, a lack of proper utilization of the proposed Project Area to such an extent that it constitutes a serious physical, social and economic burden on the City which cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. The report concluded that redevelopment of the proposed Project Area would: 1. Stablize and restore the beach; 2. Protect adjacent homes from wave damage; 3. Improve the sewer system; 4. Improve the water system; 5. Underground utilities; 6. Provide curbs/gutters/sidewalks along Pacific Coast Highway; and 7. Install a traffic signal at Pacific Coast Highway' and Phillips Street. The proposed Redevelopment Plan contemplates activities related to only items 1 and 2 above. (II-1) . I I I I Katz HoU is " DESCRIPTION OF PHYSICAL~ SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS EXISTING IN ROJECT AREA A. Existing Physical' Conditions 1. ~ect Location The Surfs ide Project Area is located within the Surfside Planning District, as identified in the General Plan, and includes all property east of the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Depot, south of Pacific Coast Highway, west of Anderson Avenue, and north of the ordinary high water mark of the Pacific Ocean. The boundaries of the Project Area are shown on Map III-l, "Surfside Redevelopment Project". Ill. 2. Land Uses and Acreages The bulk of the property within the Project Area is owned by or leased to Surfside Colony, Ltd., or the members thereof. Surfside Colony, Ltd. is private (limited access) residential community incorporated in 1931. Individual residential lots are privately owned by members of the corporation, while the beach, roads and maintenance areas are owned in cOlDlllon by all members through the corporation. Surfside Colony residential property is zoned R-l, "Low Dens ity Res identia1", and the beach property is zoned PLU, "Public Land Use". The remainder of the Project Area consists of approximately 6 acres of undeveloped Na~ property on the west end zoned PLU, "Public Land Use I. one acre (approximately) of cOlDlllerica1 use property on the east end along Pacific Coast Highway at Anderson Avenue, zoned C-2, "General Commercial". and 8.4 acres of public rights-of-way (Pacific Coast Highway and Anderson Avenue.) Total acreages within the Project Area, by land use category, are shown on Table III-1. A review of Orange County property assessment rolls shows a total of 271 parcels of property in the Project Area, including 252 residential parcels within the Surfs ide Colony portion, most of which are 25 feet in width by 40 to 50 in length. 3.

These original -residences were small single sto-ry, wood frame construction. Recent trends have seen substantial reconstruction of original buildings, including demolition and construction of new residences. However. a member of the Surfs ide Colony board estimates that as many one-quarter of the original structures still remain. This is consistent with the conclusions of a recent field survey conducted by the Seal Beach Building Department in which 92 dwellings were determined to be substandard in terms of modern construction, housing, plumbing and/or electrical codes. According to 1980 U. S. Census figures, the Surfs ide Colony census tract (995.06) contains a total of 233 residential structures, of which 229 are single family and four are multi-family. If 92 of these structures are substandard, this amounts to almost two out of every five. or nearly 40 percent. 4. Properties Properties within the Project Area suffer from the factors described below. Inadeiuate Public Improvements Faci1 ties and Utilities Sewer lines serving the Project Area are substandard and in need of upgrading or replacement. Water lines are also substandard in -relation to the Area's needs. Pacific Coast Highway, the northern boundary of the Project Area, is in need of curbs, gutters and sidewalks. A traffic signal at the western Surfside Colony entrance/exit at Pacific Coast Highway and Phillips Street is needed because of the high speed of east-bound PCH traffic and the limited visabi1ity to the west. Finally, there is a potential danger to homes within the area because of overhead power lines in close proximity to them. Such lines need to be relocated or undergrounded. b. Bein a. y The most urgent problem within the Project Area, and the principal reason for undertaking a redevelopment rroject, is the persistent erosion of beach sand due to the a tering of normal wave action caused by the Anaheim Bay entrance jetties on the west end of the Project Area. This erosion has eliminated nearly 500 feet of beach depth within a relatively short period of time. and 20 or more developed lots having a combined taxable value of $4.4 million are in (III-2) - I Katz Holll S I immediate danger of being submerged by water should an intense storm causing high waves strike. Due to the inhibiting effect of Proposition 13 on taxable values, the $4.4 million figure is probably very low. Actual market value of these threatened homes is estimated at $10+ million. In a January, 1982, report entitled "Feasibility of Shore Projection Measures for Surfs ide Colony, City of Seal Beachll, Moffatt and Nichol, Engineers, described the extent, nature, and reasons for the erosion problem; gave the history of the Corps of Engineers' sand replenishment efforts; projected the likely effect if the problem is not treated; and explored the feasibility and cost of alternative permanent protection measures. The Moffatt and Nichol report is incorporated into this Report to City Council by this reference. I I Ever since the Navy constructed the Anaheim Bay jetties, the Surfside Colony Beach has experienced a beach erosion problem which the Corps of Engineers periodically treats through sand replenishment. Three aerial photographs included as Figures 4, Sand 6 in the Moffatt and Nichol report dramatically illustrate the rapidity with which beach erosion occurs. More recent photographs, taken in August, 1982, show the then current extent of the erosion problem. These photographa (Plates 1 though S of this Report) clearly indicate that residences at the western end of the Project Area were in imminent danger. The aerial photograph shown in Plate 6, the same photograph as Figure 4 from the Moffatt and Nichol report, shows the beach as it existed on July 7, 1980. The dashed line shows the approximate berm line at the time the August, 1982 photographs were taken. The Moffatt and Nichol report included a figure showing projections of the beach berm locations by Summer, 1982, and October, 1983. This figure, included in this Report as Figure 1, reveals that Moffatt and Nichol accurately projected the current situation (as shown in Plates 1 through S), and given this accuracy there is no reason not to believe that, in the absence of protective measures, the severe erosion would have continued in the manner projected in the Moffatt and Nichol report. Because of the clear and immediate threat to existing homes, the City in early November, 1982, as an emergency project installed a temporary 16-foot rock revetment along the western 600 feet of beach within the Project Area. While this action temporarily mitigated the primary blight (III-3) . I I I I KatzHollis " condition within the Project Area, the underlying threat remains and will continue to remain until a peT1llanent revetment is installed or other solution to the cyclical erosion/replenishment problem 1s implemented. B. Existing Social Conditions Statistics from the 1980 census show that the Project Area contains a resident population of 415 people, 21 percent of which are 18 years of age or younger; 76 percent between the age of 18 and 65; and three percent over 65 years of age. Household income data is not currently available from the 1980 Census. The 1976 State Department of Finace Special Census for the Surfside area found that of the households which reported their income, 78 percent had incomes of $12,000 per year or more, and 91 percent reported annual income of $8,000 or more. Over 35 percent of reporting households had incomes of $25,000 or more per year. C. Existing Economic Conditions The Project Area contains only one acre of commercial land uses, which uses include a gasoline service station and a seafood restaurant. Both businesses appear to be viable.

PLAN AND METHOD OF RELOCATION The proposed Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area does not provide for the power of eminent domain. Property acquisition by any other means is also not contemplated to implement the limited purposes of the Plan. As a result there will be no displacement of persons, families, owners, tenants or businesses from the Project Area. Accordingly, a plan and method of relocation is not required. (V-I) - I KatZHolIls .. VI. ANALYSIS OF PRELIMINARY PLAN I The Preliminary Plan for the Surfs ide Redevelopment Project was formulated and approved by the Seal Beach Planning CODllllission by Resolution No. 1271. adopted September 15, 1982. In accord with the requirements of the CODllllunity Redevelopment Law (CRL), the Preliminary Plan: a) describes the boundaries of the Project Areaj b) contains general statements of the land uses, street layout, population desities, building intensities. and proposed redevelopment standardsj c) shows how the purposes of the CRL would be attained through redeve10pmentj d) shows that the proposed redevelopment conforms to the General P1anj and e) generally describes the impact of the proposed Project upon the residents. The proposed Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area conforms to the standards and provisions of the Preliminary Plan, except for the following: 1. The boundaries of the Project Area have been reduced to exclude the 880 acres of Pacific Ocean area and 18 acres of public beach which were within the Preliminary Plan Project Area boundaries_ I I 2. Because of the reduction of Project Area acreage. total population density will increase accordingly. Such density will confirm to City General Plan and zoning standards, however. 3. Impacts of the Project, as now proposed, would not include water system, sewer system. traffic signal, utility and curb/gutter improvements. (VI-1) - I I I I Katz HolI is VII. REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PLANNING ~~:~S~~O~6~:~0~~D~QUIRED BY SECTION When the Report and Recommendations of the Planning Commission has been issued, it will be submitted to the City Council to be added to this Report to City Council. The report of the Planning Commission required by Section 65402 of the Government Code will be included in the Report and Recommendations of the Planning Commission. (VII-I) ......... - I Katz'Hollis VIII. PROJECT AREA COMMITTEE RECORD I I A. No Project Area Committee Formed for Proj~ The Community Redevelopment Law provides for the formation of a Project Area Committee (PAC) if a proposed redevelopment project will displace a substantial number of low and moderate income families. Implementation of the Surfs1de Redevelopment Project will be limited to the installation of a temporary revetment to protect threatened residences from being destroyed by beach erosion. No Project Area property will be acquired by eminent domain or otherwise, thus no low or moderate income families, if any exist within the Project Area, will be displaced. Accordingly, no PAC was called for or formed in connection with the Project. B. Consultations with Residents, Community Organizations and Others City/Agency staff attended the annual meeting of shareholders of Surfs ide Colony, Ltd. on July 11, 1982, to discuss establishment of a redevelopment project as a method of treating the Surfs ide area's severe beach erosion problems. Following this meeting, the members voted 134 to 47 in favor of studying the feasibility of proceeding with a project. Other meetings have also been held between City/Agency staff and officers and members of the Surfs ide Colony, Ltd. board. When the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3188 designating the Surfside area as a redevelopment Survey Area, officers and members of the Surfside Colony, Ltd. board appeared in support of the action. I (VIII-l) - I Katz HolIIs IX. PROJECT AREA ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT I, The sole proposed redevelopment activity to be undertaken pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan is the installation of a temporary rock revetment urgently needed to protect Project Area residences from destruction due to beach erosion. Because of the extreme emergency which existed, the City in early November, 1982, proceeded with the installation of the revetment. In connection with this action the City prepared an initial study and determined that the project was emergency in nature and therefore exempt from the preparation of an environmental impact report (EIR) or a negative declaration. A Notice of Exemption was prepared and filed with the Secretary for Resources and the Orange County Clerk. Copies of the inital study and Notice of Exemption are included in'this Section IX of the Report to City Council.

REPORT OF FISCAL REVIEW COMMITTEE Section 33353 of the Community Redevelopment Law provides that a county or any affected taxing agency may call for the creation of a fiscal review committee within IS days afteT receipt from a redevelopment agency a description and map of the boundaries of a proposed redevelopment project area and a statement that a plan for the redevelopment of the area is being prepared. To be composed of one representative from each of the affected taxing agencies (including the county), the committee's purpose would be to report to the redevelopment agency on the fiscal impact of the proposed redevelopment plan on each of the committee's members. In accord with Section 33327 of the Community Redevelopment Law, on October 12, 1982, the Redevelopment Agency for the City of Seal Beach transmitted a boundary deseription, Project Area Map, and statement for the Surfside Redevelopment Project to the governing bodies of each affected taxing agency, to the Orange County Auditor- Controller. Assessor and Tax Collector, and to the State Board of Equalization. By these filings the County and other affected taxing agencies were pToperly advised of the Agency's intent to prepare and adopt a redevelopment plan for the Project Area. Neither the County nor any other affected taxing agency called for the creation of a fiscal review eommittee to report on the fiscal impact of the proposed Redevelopment Plan. Accordingly, there is no fiscal review committee report included with this Report to City Council. (Xl-I) - 1 Katz HolIis XII. NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT REPORT Section 33352(1) of the Community Redevelopment Law requires the preparation of a neighborhood impact report if a proposed redevelopment project contains low or moderate income housing. The purpose of the report is to describe the impact of the project upon the residents of the project area and surrounding areas in terms of relocation, traffic circulation and other specified areas. The report is also to address various aspects of displacement to result from the project, including the number of low and moderate income dwelling units to be destroyed or removed from the market, the number of low and moderate income persons and families to be displaced. and information on the location, number, financing and scheduling of dwelling units to be rehabilitated, developed or constructed as low and moderate income replacement or other housing. 1 It is apparent that the requirements imposed by Section 33352(1) were designed to apply to those projects which contain low or moderate income housing, and where implementation of redevelopment activities will involve displacement of persons and families occupying such housing. The Surf Bide Redevelopment Project will not involve land acquisition of any sort. Therefore, no low or moderate income persons or families, if any exist within the Project Area, will be displaced. Accordingly, a neighborhood impact report has not been prepared as part of this Report to City Council. 1 I (XII-I) - 1 1 1 I Katz Hollis . . ANALYSIS OF REPORT OF COUNTY FISCAL OFFICER.

In addition, an anlysis of the Auditor-Controller's report will be prepared and submitted to the City Council for addition to this Report. XIll. B. Summary of Consultations with Affected Taxing Agencies 1. Orange County and County-Governed Affected TaxIng Agencies On October 12, 1982. the Seal Beach Redevelopment Agency, in accord with the Section 33327 of the Community Redevelopment Law, transmitted a boundary description, Project Area Map, and a statement for the Surfs ide Redevelopment Project to the governing bodies of the County, County-governed, and all other affected taxing agencies; to the Orange County Auditor-Controller, Assessor and Tax Collector; and to the State Board of Equalization. On October 15, 1982, the Agency's Executive Director and a member of the Agency board met with a senior analyst from the County Administrative Officer' s staff and the executive assistant to the supervisor from the Second Supervisorial District, which district includes the City of Seal Beach and the Surfs ide Redevelopment Project. The County representatives acknowledged the extreme emergency affecting the Surfside Project Area, and stated that State special district assistance monies may be available to fund the needed roek revetment, but such funds could not be appropriated until the 1983-84 budget cycle. In the meantime, the County would have no objection to establishment of the Surfs ide Project and funding of the revetment through the redevelopment process. It was agreed that if State special district funds were appropriated in 1983-84 to reimburse the Agency for the cost of the Project, the Project would be closed out. (XllI-l) .. 1 ~ IV; PROPOSED METHOD OF FINANCING REDEVELOPMENT "OF PROJECT AREA I A. General Financing Methods Available to Agency The proposed Redevelopment Plan authorizes the Agency to finance redevelopment of the Project Area by the issuance of tax increment bonds or by any other legally available means. Project debts may not be established or incurred beyond two years after the Plan has been adopted. (Repayment of Project debts, however, may extend beyond two years.) The proposed Redevelopment Plan limits the amount of tax increment dollars which may be allocated to the Agency to a cumulative total of $1,000,000. The proposed plan limits the amount of Agency bonded indebtedness which is to be repaid in whole or in part from tax increment funds to a total of $400,000 outstanding at anyone time. 1 B. Proposed Financing Method The sole redevelopment activity contemplated under the proposed Redevelopment Plan is the installation of a temporary l6-foot rock revetment along the western 600 feet of beach to protect the residences from imminent erosion danger. Due to the extreme emergency, the Agency in early November, 1982, proceeded with the necessary work, financed through a loan from the City's Plant and Equipment Fund. The total cost of the revetment was $217,000. When staff and other overhead costs are added, it is estimated that total Project costs will not exceed $300,000. Allor a portion of these costs may be repaid by the County of Orange from future funds received from the State for special district assistance. It is also anticipated that Surfside Colony, Ltd. will pay a portion of the Project costs. To the extent that County and tax increment funds are insufficient to cover total project costs the City and Surfs ide Colony, Ltd. will share the costs equally. An analysis of recent property assessment value trends within the Project Area by Agency staff revealed that valuation totals have been increasing by approximately $3.0 million per year. If this trend continues following Project adoption, the Agency would have approximately $30,000 per year in tax increment revenues available for debt. I An analysis of assessment value trends within the Project Area by Agency staff and the ability of the Agency to repay its indebtedness from tax increment is reflected on the following table IV-I-A: (IV-I) tQ:' '. ~ $ ~ 'C- c..>' ~ '" .... .- , , , , , \ t \ ~ ~ $ ~ 'C- i III ... ~ ~ .- ..,. ~ '" ~ t: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ "5 to . . . . .
