L A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEAL BEACH ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND
APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT ("GPA") 19-1
TO CHANGE THE LAND USE CATEGORY OF 328 13TH
STREET FROM RESIDENTIAL HIGH-DENSITY TO GENERAL
COMMERCIAL
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES HEREBY FIND AND
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. A duly noticed public hearing was held before the City Council on
October 23, 2023 to consider the proposed Negative Declaration (including Initial Study and
related Appendices) and the application for GPA 19-1, a request to amend the Land Use
Map of the City's General Plan to change the land use designation of the property located
at 328 13th Street from Residential High Density to General Commercial, at which time all
interested parties were given the opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. At the
public hearing, the City Council received and considered all evidence presented, both written
and oral, regarding the subject application.
Section 2. GPA 19-1 is part of a development application (Project) that was heard
before the Planning Commission on May 15, 2023 and September 5, 2023, for which the
Commission conditionally approved Conditional Use Permit 19-7 and Variance 22-1 to allow
the reconstruction of the gas station at 1300 PCH and 328 13th Street, with the addition of a
1,200 square foot convenience store; and for which the Commission recommended that the
City Council approve GPA 19-1 and Zone Change 19-1, an associated request to amend
the City's Zoning Map to change the zoning designation of the property located at 328 13th
Street from RHD-20 (Residential High Density — 20 units per acre) to GC (General
Commercial) and to change the zoning designation of the property located at 324 13th Street
from RHD-20 (Residential High Density — 20 units per acre) to RHD-33 (Residential High
Density — 33 units per acre).
Section 3. In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Cal. Pub.
Res. Code § 21000 et seq. ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines 14 C.C.R. § 15000 et
seq., a Negative Declaration ("ND") has been prepared for General Plan Amendment
("GPA") 19-1 , which would amend the Land Use Map of the City's General Plan to change
the land use designation of the property located at 328 13th Street from Residential High
Density to General Commercial. The ND finds that proposed General Plan Amendment and
Zone Change would not have a significant effect on the environment. Based on the City
Council's review of the record, and in the exercise of its independent judgment, the City
Council hereby approves and adopts the ND in connection with the approval of GPA 19-1
and Zone Change 19-1.
Section 4. No findings are required for legislative acts such as a General Plan
I L Amendment. However, the City Council finds that the General Plan Amendment to change
the land use category of the property at 328 13th Street to General Commercial will be
1 of 2
consistent with other properties located along the southern portion of this area of the Pacific
Coast Highway and will be internally consistent with the General Plan.
Section 5. The General Plan of the City of Seal Beach is hereby amended to
change the land use category of the property located at 328 13th Street to General
Commercial.
Section 6. The documents, staff reports, technical studies, appendices, plans,
specifications, and other materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which this
resolution is based are on file for public examination during normal business hours at the
Community Development Department, City of Seal Beach City Hall, 211 8th Street, Seal
Beach, CA 90740.
