RESIDENTIAL LAND USE
ItZSID!NTIAL LAND USE: INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
.
Residential uses take .any forms. varying from
houses and row or townhouses to apartment houses.
environmental differences relate to how the units are
well as to how many unlts there are on a given parcel
single f_lly
The major
arranged as
of land.
.
Residential Lot Areas: Terminoloay
-Lot Area" ls the relationship between the lot area ln square
feet and one dwelllno unit. As the lot area per dwelllng unit
decreases. the number of dwelllno.~its' ln any Oiven area will
lncrease. The followlng residential propos~ls lndicate the range
of lot area per dwelllng unlt from the" relatively small lots of
the coastal Area to the larger lots of college Park East and
West.

Due to the stabl1lty and excellent quallty of these resldentlal

Land Use Ilement.

.
!!!!tlna.Medlum Denslty ~esldentlal
There are five exlstlng aedlum denslty areas 1n the City: I
Leisure World, Suburbla, and the resldentlal nelghborhood located
between the Coast Hlghway. the Paclflc Electrlc Rlght-of-Way.
Seal Beach Boulevard. and Twelfth Street. The medlum denslty
residential nelghborhood in the Coastal Area ls less stable,
.~perlencing at ~he present tlme a transltion from fairly low
densitles to bigher residential densitles. This transition ls
due aainly to the comblnation of rislng land costs, older
structures. and a tremendously invlting beach environment.
The fourth area is the 7.8& acre parcel located on Lampson Avenue
1n COllege Park East. A minlmum lot area of 2&00 square feet per
dwelling unit was r~quired for thls parcel.
The .fifth aedlum densIty resldential area is approxlmately 3
acres of land previously utillzed as the City Yard. Upon
relocation of the City Yard to a more centralized locatlon, thls
slte was redeveloped wlth resldentlal unlts that are compatible
with those found 1n Brldgeport.
'roDosed ~edlum Dens~ty R~sld~ntlal
At present. there are three areas of proposed new medlum denslty
resldentlal development and pr1vate rehabilitatlon wlthln an
establlshed medlum denslty nelghborhood in the Coastal Area I
bounded by the Paciflc Coast Highway. Seal Beach Boulevard, the
Paclflc Electric Rlght-of-Way, and Twelfth Street. This area is
proposed to remain as medlum denslty wlth a mlnimum lot area of
2500 square feet per dwelllng unlt. Thls lot area wl11
facilitate the consolidation of lots so that a combination of one
and a half lots .111 allow a duplex or two-unlt structure. A
small portlon of thls resldentlal nelghborhood ls deslgnated as
hlgh denslty (standards dlscu~sed in the followlng sectlon). the
frontage lots along Electrlc Avenue an~ ~elfth Street.

~he second aedlum density residential .rea Is the Department of
Water and Power parcel 1n the Coastal D1str1ct. Thl. parcel due
to Its unique location has generated 1nten.e 1ntere.t within the
~Q..unlty and Que to the unique 10cat1on, 1t 1. felt that further
atudy 1. required to determine the exact portions of uses f9r
thl. parcel. The recommended u.es 1nclude aedium density

~he third aedlum density residential .rea consl.ts of

between Gum Grove Park and the Pollee Station/City Corporation
Yard facility. This alte is proposed to be developed through the
Specific Plan Concept and yield L13 sl~le fa~I~_homes at
.pproxlmately! dwelling units per .cre with .n anticipatea
population of .pproximately 396.
HIGH DENSITY' RESIDENTIAL PROPOSALS
(Minimum lot .rea of 1350 aquare feet per dwelling unit)
(Minimum lot area of 2178 square feet per dwelling unit in
District 1 south of Pacific Coast Highway and Marina Drive)
(Minimum lot area of 160 .quare feet per dwelling unit in
District VI, consisting of the Rossmoor Business Center)
~hi. den.lty classification allows for the highest density
considered appropriate for Seal Beach. The Intensity of
dev~lopments at this density requires detailed consideration of
traffic circu1ation, relationships of larger buildlngs to each
other and to open apaces, and the provlsion of usable outdoor
living areas for resldent..
It has been determined that the concept of high rise developme~t
and the densities associatea with such structures 1s not in
accord wlth the goals of the community. Thls resldentlal
classification will allow for the development of a one unit. on
the average lot 1n the Coastal Area.
Existing Hi~h Density'Residentia1
High density residential exist. In three locations 1n the City:
the area directly adjacent to the Rossmoor Center, Surf.ide, anc
the Coastal Area. The residentla1 developments located behlnd
the Rossmoor Center are fairly new and very stable and should
remaln .0 for some time. The Surfslde resldentla1 neighborhooa
Is presently undergolng a constant rebuilding of old .tructures
to update 'them, and In some cases, to entirely replace them. The
only remaining .hlgh density area 1. .the Coastal Area where there
1s a constant rebuilding going on. Thl. rebuilding can be
attributed to three main reasons: ri.lng cost of 1and, the
deterloratlon of older .tructures, and the extremely invlting
lNtach living environment. " ",

Proposed Hiah Densitv Residential
The Coastal Area is where the greatest residential change i&
taking place. As previously discussea, this area Is subject to a
continuing transltlon from the older single and multi-family
residential units to new high density units. It is anticipated
that some of the exlstlng single family units and most vacant
lots will be recycled into custom single family resiaences and a
few apartments in the time frame of this plan. A slight
population growth is anticipated In this area.
Outside of the Coastal Area, one additional area Is proposea for
high denSity resiaential. A 24 acre site locatea northeast of
the State Lanas Parcel and between the First Street Extension and
Marina Hill is orODosea for 660 condominium units. This project
will generate approximately 1.188 persons ana will be developea
through the SpeCific Plan process.

Civic Center. City
~i~t1ng Parks and Open_.!!pa~
The City has developed Heather Park In College Park East to help
alleviate the park deficiency in that neighborhood. Through
conscientious design methods. the City created very desirable and
usable park spaces at the present park sites for the College Park
neighborhoods.
Another proposal for parkS and open space Is to convert the I
present County Flood Control Basin for park purposes. The County
of Orange has agreed to allow joInt use of this facility as long
as the City can afford to run the program. Development of the
Flood Control Basin will take place as part of the Amended
Hellman R~ch Specific Plan process.
Adjacent to and south of the Flood Control.basin is a proposed
~7.~ acre community park to be developed as part of the amended
~lman Ranch Specifi~.Plan process.
