SPECIFIC PLAN CONCEPT
To ensure quality and responsible development of the Hell-
man property, a development monitoring mechanism, reflect-
ing thorough and comprehensive land use planning, is pro-
posed. The planning mechanism most suited to this objec-
tive is the Specific Plan, which is authorized by the
California Government Code, Section 65450 et. seq. The
Specific Plan concept, when adopted by City legislative
action, then serves a planning and regulatory function.
What a Specific Plan is and how it functions are best
descr i bed by a comp ar ison to the Genera 1 P hn. The pur-
pose of the General Plan is to express, in general terms,
the City's thoughtful planning of its future environment.
However, the General Plan does not address specific par-
cels of land in a detailed manner. but rather functions
only as a general blueprint for future development within
the City. The General Plan is adopted by the City as a
legislative act and may thereafter be amended as required
by changing trends.
The Specific Plan differs from the General Plan in that it
is a device used to refine and, implement the goals and
objectives as outlined in the General Plan by focusing on
a particular parceJ or parcels of land. Detailed analysis
of the planning considerations for each parcel are then
made with regulations and controls being adopted for
future development of these parcels. The Specific Plan is
similar to the General Plan as it is adopted and amended
by City legislative action and, when so adopted, controls
all development within the affected area. .
When appl ied to the Hellman property, the Specific Plan
mechanism will serve another important function in terms
of the City's coastal planning obligation under the Cali-
fornia Coastal Act of 1976. The Hellman Specific Plan
will serve as the implementation phase of a portion of the
City's Local Coastal Plan, thus providing assurance that
the pol icies of the Local Coastal Program will guide de-
velopment of the property over time.
As specified by the Government Code, a City may prepare
Specific Plans based on the General Plan and its programs,
as may be required for the systematic execution of the
Gener alP lan. ,The Government Code further st i pu lates th at
a Specific Plan address an array of various concerns with
respect to an affected area, including but not limited to:
the implementation of the applicable provisions of each
element of the General Plan; the location of housing,
business, open space, agriculture, recreation facilities,
education facilities, public buildin9,and grounds, solid
and liquid waste disposal facilities; the location of
areas, such as flood plains, or excessively steep or un-
stable terrain, wherein no buildings will be permitted in
(I
,tl
11/10/80
?
the absence of adequate measures to reduce the level of
risks to that area comparable with adjoining and surround-
ing areas; the location and extent of existing or proposed
streets and roads, their names or numbers, their proposed
widths and prospective standards for their construction
and maintenance, standards for population density and
building density including lot size and permissible types
of construction; provisions for water supply, sewage dis-
posal, storm water drainage and the disposal of solid
waste and standards for the conservation, development and
utilization of natural resources, including underground
and surface waters, vegetation, soils, water courses and
wildlife resources.
I
)
The Hellman Specific Plan, therefore, sets forth the pro-
posed development monitoring mechanism for specific por-
t ions of the Hellman property. In keeping with the pro-
visions of the Government Code, this document consists of
two components; an Enabling Ordinance for the Specific
Plan and the Hellman Specific Plan.
.
The Enabling Ordinance is included in the Specific Plan in,
order to achieve consistency between the Hellman Specific
Plan and all applicable zoning and Redevelnpment Agency I
regulations. The ordinance adopts the Hellman Specific
Plan, creates a new zoning district entitled the Hellman
Specific Plan District Zone, rezones the Hellman property
from existing single family residential, commercial and ')
oil extraction designations to thj! Hellman Specific Plan
District Zone, refines the City Redevelopment Plan and
designates the Specific Plan as the partial implementation
phase of the City's Local Coastal Plan for this property.
The Hellman Specific Plan serves as the principal document
regulatlng development on specific portions of the Hellman
property. In addition to addressing the items specified
by the Government Code, the Specific Plan also sets forth
the concepts which guided the planning of the development,
incorporates maps and exhibits Illustrat ing the planning
concepts, provides property development standards, estab-
1 ishes development phasing sequences and development re-
view procedures. The Hellman Specific Plan establishes
these procedures only for those areas known as Planning
Units 1 through g.

Seal Beach is authorized by the following:
a. Title 7. Division 1, Chapter 3, Articles 8 and 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 judgement of the Plannfng
Commission, be required for the systematic execution
of the General Plan. Such a Specific Plan may include
all detailed regulations, conditions, programs and
proposed 1 eg is lat ion wh i ch may be necessary or con-
venient for the systematic implementation of each ele-
ment 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
I
c. Division 20 of the Cal ifornia Publ ic Resources Code
(which is known as the California Coastal Act of

2. PURPOSE AND INTENT
,I
The Hellman Specific Plan is prepared to provide for the
classification and development of portions of parcels oJ
land as a coordinated comprehensive project 50 as to take
advantage of the superior environment which can result
from large scale community planning. The concepts, regu-
lations and conditions established by the Hellman Specific
Plan are intended to provide for a diversity of land uses
and development standards created specifically for se-
lected portions of the Hellman Property. The Hellman
Specific Plan functions as both a ministerial and regu-
1 atory document in providing for the systematic means of-
executing the Gener31 Plan of the City of Seal Beach. The
Hellman Specific Pl~n provides the opportunity to combine
the concepts, proceoures and regulations of numerous docu-
ments into one. Those documents include the Redevelopment

11/10/80
(
Plan for the portion of the Riverfront Redevelopment Pro-
ject which falls within the SpecHic Plan area and the
implementation component of the City of Seal Beach Local
Coastal Plan for portions of Area 3. The Hellman Specific
Plan when adopted by ordinance establishes the type, loca-
tion, intensity and character of development to take
place, while providing for creative and imaginative com-
munity design concepts which are preferred in dealing with
unique site conditions. Alternative zoning regulations,
development standards and other regulations have been in-
corporated into the Hellman SpecHic Plan in return for
increased development sensitivity and comll\unity amenities
to serve the present and future residents of the City of
Seal Beach.
