July 14, 1981 ME~10RANDUM , TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Redevelopment Agency. FROM: Nicholas Romaniello, Director of Planning . " SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment #3 - Redevelopment Plan I BACKGROUND As you are aware, the development of the Hellman property as proposed requires an amendment to the existing Riverbeach Redevelopment Plan. In accordance with State law, Section 33352 of the California Health and Safety Code, a proposed amendment to a redevelopment plan must be sub- mitted by the "agency" to the "legislative" body in the form of a report that is in compliance with the requirements of Section 33352. This report should also contain the recommendations, if any, of the Planning Commission: REQUIRED PROCEDURES , The "agency" and the "Council" must each adopt the appropriate resolutions (attached) consenting to a joint hearing. This agency must then review the following report and forward the report to the Council for their review. PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT #3 REPORT I The Redevelopment Plan is proposed to be amended in two areas (see attached Exhibit A). The area on Exhibit A marked "2", is a 4.9 acre site that is currently undeveloped. This site has a current zoning designation of "e" commercial which is inconsistent with our General Plan and the recently adopted Specific Plan. - The area on Exhibit A marked "3", is an 11.1 acre park site (Gum Grove). This amendment will only effect some minor boundary changes to the park. The existing park which is zoned Public Land Use (PLU) will retain this zoning designation, will not be significantly altered in total area, will remain in a park setting and is only proposed for amendment in order to remain consistent with our General Plan and the Hellman Specific Plan as required by State law. AREA DESCRIPTION Area 2 is an undeveloped parcel, relatively level, ~hich currently provides no social benefits to the City or owner and produces no economic return to the owner and limited taxes to the City. Area 3 is an improved park area currently leased to the City by its owner. There are no revenues derived by this site, but its value is derived by the social amenities it provides in an urban setting. PLANNING COMMISSION FINDINGS I At their July 1,1981 meeting, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 1234 (attached). This resolution determined that the proposed Redevelop- ment Plan Amendment #3 was in full conformance with our General Plan, that the environmental issues raised were fully and adequately addressed, and that the Environmental Impact Report was prepared in full compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and all City regulations. COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW The proposed Redevelopment Plan Amendment #3 is being requested in full compliance with all known State laws; the Planning Commission Resolution No. 1234 addresses and meets all requirements of Section 21151 of the Govern- ment Code, and the Environmental Impact Report and Hellman Specific Plan addresses all issues and meets all requirements of Section 21151 of the Public Resources Code. AGENCY ITEM #0. .' I I I , Resolution Number , . Proposed Amendment #3 - Redevelopment Pla~ July 14, 1981 Page 2 , IMPACTS OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT .....,,- 1) Neither areas 2 or 3 on Exhibit A contain low or moderate income housing, consequently, no impacts on these areas are expected by virtue of the adoption of the proposed amendment. There will be no impacts upon the residents in the project area or surrounding area in terms of relocations, traffic circulation, community facilities, services, availability or school population. 2) There will be no housing units of any type to be destroyed or relocated by virtue of this proposed amendment. 3) There shall be no displacement of low or moderate income persons by virtue of this proposed amendment. 4) Area 2 on Exhibit A may be developed in the future with 100 dwelling units for senior citizens of low and moderate income. 5) The potential future development of Area 2 of Exhibit A will be the economic responsibility'of the private developer. The General Plan and the Hellman Specific Plan reflect the type of development designated for any future development of this site. 6) At this time, there is no projected time table for any future development on Area 2 of Exhibit A. When a development is approved for this site, it will reflect the General Plan and the Hellman Specific Plan in that it will provide 100 dwelling units for low and moderate income senior citizens. At that time, the surrounding areas will be capable of absorbing the proposed 100 units in terms of providing the site with all necessary and required services to insure the health and safety of the new residents. This type of future development is expected to provide housing for a total of 180 senior individuals in 100 units. All required building and zoning standards applicable by City, State and Federal laws will be reflected in any future development of this area as will all the requirements of our City General Plan and the adopted Hellman Specific Plan and all future Planning Commission, City ~ouncil and Redevelopment Agency "conditions of approval" for the specific development of this site. 7) Area 3 on Exhibit A is currently a neighborhood park. This area will be unaffected in all aspects relative to this proposed amendment or future land use. In accordance with our General Plan and the Hellman Specific Plan, this 11.1 acre site will be designated a neighborhood park and dedicated in fee to the City, This area is included in this proposed amendment solely to adjust its boundaries in a minor way, to accommodate the 11.1 acres of park, as shown on the adopted Hellman Specific Plan. The park is proposed to remain intact; no trees will be touched in the boundary adjustment, The final stages of any future development in the area will result in the park getting a "face lift" i.e., cleaned, trees trimmed, pathways, restoration of existing facilities (fireplaces/barbeques). RECOtliMENDATIONS 1) That the Redevelopment Agency select a Project Area Committee in conformance with the City Manager's recommendations and direct this Committee to review the proposed Amendment #3 to the Redevelopment Plan.

RESOLUTION NO. 1234 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE ,CITY OF SEAL BEACH REPORTING REGARDING THE CON- FORMITY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN OF PROPOSED AMEND- MENT NO. 3 TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE RIVERFRONT REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES, RESOLVES AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1, The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Seal Beach has submitted proposed Amendment No. 3 to the Redevelopment Plan for the Riverfront Redevelop- ment Project, attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the Planning Commission for its report regarding the conformity of such proposed Amendment No. 3 with the Gen- eral Plan of the City of Seal Beach and its recommendations regarding such proposed Amendment No.3. Section 2. The location, purpose and extent of (i) real property to be acquired by dedication or otherwise for street, square, park or other public purposes, (ii) real property to be disposed of, (iii) streets to be vacated or abandoned, (iv) public buildings or structures to be constructed or authorized, all pursuant to or in furtherance of such proposed Amendment No, 3, are in conformance with the General Plan. Section 3. Such proposed Amendment No. 3 is in conformance with the General Plan. Section 4. The Planning Commission hereby certifies that the Final Environ- mental Impact Report for the Hellman Specific Plan (the "Final EIR") is applicable in all respects to such proposed Amendment No, 3 and was completed pursuant to t~e provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and State and City of Seal Beach guidelines with respect thereto and that the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the contents of the Final EIR prior to deciding whether to approve such proposed Amendment No.3, With respect. to the potential significant environmental effects identified in the Final EIR, the Planning Commission finds as follows: 1, The Final EIR identifies as a potential significant environmental effect ~he possible loss of archaeological sites. This potentially signi- ficant environmental effect will be mitigated or avoided by requiring additional investigatiQn which will determine if such activities as preser- vation, salvage excavation, and grading monitoring are required. 2. The Final EIR identifies as a potential significant environmental effect the possible impact of odors on residents of the area from all oil drilling and operations, 'This potentially significant environmental effect will be mitigated or,avoided by requiring sufficient distance between residential units and all oil drilling and operations. 3. The Final EIR identifies as a potential significant environmental effect an increase in seismic safety hazards. This ,potentially significant environmental effect will be mitigated or avoided by requiring all human occupancy structures to be placed a minimum of fifty feet from the fault zone, Further, additional soils, geology, and seismicity studies will be reviewed by the soils and foundation engineering consultant to the City to determine if there is a need for additional mitigation measures. 4, The Final EIR identifies as a potential significant environmental effect a moderate to high potential for liquefaction within portions of the area. This potentially significant environmental effect will be mitigated or avoided by requiring the implementation of the liquefaction mitigation measures specified in Section 3,10.3 of the Final EIR or an acceptable method approved by a licensed geologist and the City of Seal Beach, &'lilfj{rr ,~,. I , .. I I ~ ,. ~ Resolution No. 1234 Page 2 5. The Final EIR identifies as a potential significant environmental effect the possible increase in water run-off and flood hazard. This potentially significant environmental effect will be mitigated or avoided by requiring on-site storm drains, a pump station, grading improvements and greenbelt areas. Further, additional hydrologic studies will be per- formed to determine specific drainage mitigation measures prior to develop- ment of the area. 6. The Final EIR identifies as a potential significant environmental effect the possible increase in safety hazards to residents in the area from oil drilling and transportation operations. This potentially signi- ficant environmental effect will be mitigated or avoided by compliance with State Division of Oil and Gas regulations and the erection of fencing around oil operations. 7. The Final EIR identifies as a potential significant environmental effect the loss of vacant land as open space. Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the alternatives identified in the Final EIR which would in some respects mitigate this potentially significant environmental effect. The alternative of no development would leave the site in its existing condition as privately-owned open space with oil production facilities. Although this alternative will presently avoid the loss of open space, the present condition of the site is not aesthetically attractive. Further, since the area is privately-owned, it is likely to be developed with urban uses as development pressures from the surrounding areas increase.' The alternative of recreation or open space is not economically feasible due to the high land values and service expenses. Further, the area is privately-owned and there has been no commitment by a public agency to purchase the site for recreation purposes. The third alternative of reduced intensity residential development would require the price of the proposed residential units to be significantly increased. Since the proposed development consists of affordable housing units, to be economically feasible, these units must be high density. In addition, the proposed development will have a positive fiscal impact on the Agency. The above statements constitute a statement of overriding considerations pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and the State and City of Seal Beach gu~delines thereto. Section 5. The Planning Commission hereby recommends approval of such proposed amendments by the Agency and by the City Council of the City of Seal Beach.
