RESOLUTION NO. ~8 I A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH AMENDING THE NOISE ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN (NOISE ELEMENT AMENDMENT 97-1) THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE: Section 1. In October, 1996, Hellman Properties LLC ("Applicant"), submitted to the City of Seal Beach an application for adoption of a revised Specific Plan for the Hellman Ranch property and adjoining properties and related General Plan Amendments, and approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 15381 and 15402 (collectively "application"). To achieve consistency between zoning restrictions set forth in the revised Hellman Ranch Specific Plan and the General Plan, certain elements of the General Plan, including the Noise Element, are proposed to be amended. I Section 2. Pursuant to 14 Calif. Code of Regs. ~ 15025(a) and ~~ II.C and III of the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, staff prepared an Initial Study and a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), to study the environmental impacts arising from the revised Hellman Ranch Specific Plan and related General Plan amendments, including this amendment. The DEIR was circulated for public review and comment from April 8, 1997 to May 27, 1997, in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (GEQA) and the City's Loc3J. CEQA Guidelines. A Revised DEIR was circu1ated for public review and comments from June 5, 1997 to July 23, 1997. Upon completion of the public review period, a Final Environmenlal Impact Report was reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public hearing held on September 3, 1997. After the public hearing, the Planning Commission found, through the adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No. 97-22 that the Hellman Ranch Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is adequate under CEQA. After considering the Final EIR and public testimony thereto at a public hearing on September 22, 1997, the City Council adopted City Council Resolution No. 4562, certifying the Final EIR and adopting a statement of overriding considerations. City Council Resolution No. 4562 is hereby incorporated by this reference. , Section 3. After a duly noticed public hearing, the Planning Commission recommended approval of Noise Element Amendment 97-1. I Section 4. On September 22,' 1997, the City Council conducted a public hearing to consider the Planning Commission's recommendation. The City Council received into evidence the following reports and minutes: the Planning Commission Staff Report dated September 3, 1997, and Supplemental Staff Reports 1 and 2, also dated September 3, 1997, all attachments thereto, the Minutes of the September 3, 1997 Planning Commission Meeting, and Planning Commission Resolutions 97-22 through 97- 34; the Environmental Quality Control Board Staff Report of September 9, Supplemental Staff Report # 1, also dated September 9, 1997, and Supplemental Staff Report # 2, dated September 16, 1997, the Minutes of the Environmental Quality Control Board of September 9, and Environmental Quality Control Board Resolution 97-1; and, the Archaeological Advisory Committee Staff Report and Minutes of August 27, 1997, and Archaeological Advisory Committee Resolutions 97-1 and 97-2. The City Council also considered all public testimony and written information presented. The record of the hearings indicates the following: Resolution Number~~ (a) Noise measurements were conducted by Robert KaIui, John Kahn & Associates, Inc. in March 1997 at Noise Element measurement locations 21 and 23. The results of those measurements indicate that noise levels at the measured locations have decreased for all noise levels measured at Pacific Coast Highway and First Street, but have increased for all noise levels measured at Seal Beach Boulevard near Forrestal Road. Section 5. Based upon substantial evidence in 'the record of the hearing, including the facts stated in fi 4 of this resolution, and in the environmental documentation prepared in conjunction with this project, and pursuant to fifi 28-2600 and I 28-2602 of the City's Code, the City Council hereby rmds: (a) The proposed General Plan Amendments and Specific Plan Amendments will provide a less intensive use than is presently allowed under current General Plan and Specific Plan regulations. The proposed uses will generate less noise than the uses presently allowed. (b) The proposed Hellman Ranch Specific Plan, and the necessary General Plan Amendments: are beneficial to the short term and long term land use goals of the City of Seal Beach; promote the public health, safety and welfare; and are in the public interest. (c) Pursuant to Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines, an EIR has been prepared and has been certified by the City Council. This amendment is within the scope of the certified EIR, which adequately describes the general environmental setting of the project, its significant impacts, and the alternatives, and mitigation measures related to each significant environmental effect.
