by the following:
a. Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Articles Band 9 of the California
Government Code (Section 65450 et. seq.). Pursuant to these provisions,
the Planning Commission may, or shall if so directed by the City
Council, prepare Specific Plans based on the General Plan and drafts
of such regulations, programs and legislation as may, in the judgment
of the Planning Commission, be required for the syste~atic execution
of the General Plan. Such a Specific Plan may include all detailed
regulations, conditions, programs and proposed legislation which
may be necessary or convenient for the systematic implementation of
each element of the General Plan; and
b. Division 24, Part 1, Chapter 2, Articles 4 and 12 of the California
Health and Safety Code which relate to the preparation and adoption
of redevelopment plans and amendments thereto by the Redevelopment
Agency; and
c. Division 20 of the California Public Resources Code (which is known
as the California Coastal Act of 1976), Chapter 6, Article 2, Sections
30510, 30511 and 30513 which require the submission of zoning ordinances,
zoning district map or other implementing actions to the Regional

integrated community planning. The concepts, regulations and conditions
established by the DWP Specific Plan are intended to provide for open space
and visitor serving land uses and development standards created specifically
for selected portions of the DWP property. The DWP Specific Plan functions as
both a ministerial and regulatory document in providing for the systematic
means of executing the General Plan of the City of Seal Beach. The DWP
Specific Plan provides the opportunity to combine the concepts, procedures and
regulations of numerous documents into one. Those documents include the
Redevelopment Plan for the portion of the Riverfront Redevelopment Project
which falls within the Specific Plan area and the implementation component of
the City of Seal Beach Local Coastal Plan for the site. The DWP Specific Plan,
when adopted by ordinance, establishes the type, location, intensity and
character of development to take place, while providing for creative and
imaginative community design concepts which are preferred in dealing with
unique site conditions. Alternative zoning regulations, development standards
and other regulations have been incorporated into the DWP Specific Plan in
return for increas~d dtvelop~ent sensitivity and community amenitles to serve
the present and future residents of the City of Seal Beacn.
3. LOCATION
The DWP Specific Plan applies only to that property cited in the precise
legal description in Appendix 1. The land use development plan (Exhibit A)
is the map indi~ating the property whicn is subject to the provislons of the

River Channel to the west, 1st Street to the east, Marina Drive to the north
