DEVELOPMENT PLAN '
.'
I
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY FIND,
DETERMINE AND RESOLVE:
Section 1. On November 23, 1998, the City Council for the City of Seal Beach
adopted Resolution No. 4660, certifYing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Bixby Old
Ranch Towne Center Development Plan. Subsequent to such certification, the City adopted certain
ordinances and resolutions and issued permits in reliance upon such EIR.
Section 2. The City of Los Alamitos, the Rossmoor Homeowners Association
and Century National Properties, Inc. filed a petition for writ of mandate challenging the City's
action certifying tl1e EIR.
Section 3. On June t8, 1999, the Superior Court for the County of Orange,
Honorable William F. McDonald issued a minute order finding:
(a) The EIR does not analyze impacts associated with increasing the size I
of the commercial project on Area "A" above the 286,967 square foot project identified in the
project description.
(b) The EIR does not analyze impacts on schools arising from 75 single
family homes.
(c) TIle EIR docs not address whether revitalization of the Rossmoor
Business Center, alone, instead of expansion, is reasonably foreseeable or speculative impact and
thus the writ is granted to determine if anticipated revitalization of the Rossmoor Center is a
speculative or reasonably foreseeable impact, and if the latter, whether it is significant and must be
addressed in the EIR.
(d) The writ is granted as to inadequate consideration and participation
with the City of Los A1amitos regarding mitigation measures with respect to the Los
Alamitos/Katella and D100mfieldlKatella intersections.
(e) The finding that the increased lighting caused by a 286,967 square
foot commercial development is not a significant cumulative impact should be supported by
additional evidence and analysis, and or addressed by mitigation measures, alternatives, or a
Statement of Overriding Considerations.
Section 4. On August 3, 1999, the Court issued its writ compelling the City to I
"set aside, vacate and void each of the following actions:
(a) Resolution No. 4660
(b) The Notice of Determination issued on November 24, 1998; and
(c) Any and all actions of any body of the City of Seal Beach, including
but not limited to, the Seal Beach Planning Commission, that rely in
whole or in part on the Bixby Ranch EIR."
