CITY OF SEAL BEACH WORK PROGRAM FOR
PREPARATION OF THE LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM
Introduction
According to the revised statewide L0881 Coastal Program budgets
prepared by the State Commission staff, it appears that less money
will be available for local funding of Local Coastal Programs due to
significant revenue reductions as a result of the passage of Proposition
13 and for other reasons. It appears that no more than $30,000 would
be available to fund Seal Beach's Local Coastal Program and, therefore,
it seems appropriate for the City to prepare a work program based on
this ceiling figure of $30,000.
In preparing the work program, Seal Beach will propose tasks and
programs that are of statewide significance first, of regional significance
second, and of local stgnificance last.
Format
Seal Beach has a locally approved Issue Identification document
containing a large number of issues that range from statewide significance
to strictly local, The Issue Identification document is attached to
the work program as adopted. The work program will be presented in
as abbrevtated a format as possible to reduce duplication of the Issue
Identification and assist anyone reviewing the work program to easily
determine tasks, time and costs. The following format will be used:

Many of the issues in the Issue Identification can be combined into
subject heading even though they apply to difference planning areas.
For example: The issue of providing housing for low and moderate
income persons applies to all areas of the coast. The issue of beach
access, beach capacity and beach use is one related issue. Alternative
land uses for the nine-acre Department of Water and Power property,
State Lands parcel and the Hellman land are related. For these reasons
the issues will be redefined into subject areas as follows:
1. Shoreline Access
(a) Evaluate existing access in Area 1 (Coastal District)
to determine adequacy and consistency with the Coastal
Act.
(b) Evaluate existing access in Area 5 (Surfside Colony) to
determine adequacy and consistency with Coastal Act.

PART 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLANNING AREA
The City of Seal Beach is a coastal community located in the
northwest corner of Orange County adjacent to Los Angeles County. The
city is about twelve square mi1es~tn(ar~~. Approximately 8 square miles
of the city lies within the boundaries of the Seal Beach Naval Weapons
Station. In 1976, the city conducted a special census and the population
was 27,671. The city population has not increased significantly since
that time.
I~,
The coastal zone boundary in..:fhe city is Westminster Avenue.
As a result of the boundary location, approximately one-half of the
city lies within the coastal zone. Because of the diversity of neighborhoods
in the coastal zone, the city will be divided into five planning areas.
Each area wi'" be considered separately in this report. The planning
areas will be:
Area 1 - Coastal District
Area 2 - Mari'na Hi 1 1
Area 3 - Hellman-Rockwell Property
Area 4 - Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station
Area 5 - Surfside Colony
AREA 1 - COASTAL DISTRICT
Existing Uses. This portion of the city was subdi'vided in the
early 1900s. A majority of the lots are 25' x 117.5' and contain just
under 3000 square feet. Street and alley access are provided to the
lots. Properties have been developed with a mix of single family dwellings,
duplexes and apartments. In the larger developments, lots have been
consoli'dated. Very few vacant lots remain, and some of the older units

are being demolished and replaced with new units. The Coastal District
retains an attractive, small town character. The land use distribution
in the coastal district is as follows:
Residential 75%
Commercial 15%
Pub1 ic 10% (*)
(*) Includes one linear mile of public beach.
In 1976 the City conducted a special census. The following residential
unit mix existed at that time.
Single Family
Dup1ex-fourp1ex
Five or more
Trailers
Mi see 11 aneous
Total
1088 units
1042 units
1320 units
197 units
.....l.i un i ts
3681 units
(including Oakwood 549 units)
Commercial uses are generally- restricted to Pacific Coast Highway, Main
Street, Seal Beach Boulevard and Marina Drive. Most of the businesses are
retail commercial establishments serving the needs of 10c~1 residents
and recreational visitors.
Primary public facilities within this district are the City Adminis-
tration Building, an elementary school, a fire station a ,community center,
a library and a Senior Citizen center. Recreational, open space consists
of.th~ public beach and municipal pier, three parks and one greenbelt.
A majority of the streets in the coastal district have 60 foot
:fi~nt~.qf~..~~~ and are deSigned for two-way traffic with parking. There
are some streets in the eastern portion of the coastal district and
~""""'-~- --'-~- -
mostly north of Electric Avenue that have 40 foot street ttg~t-o~-waYf'
and are restricted to one-way traffic with parking.. The Electric
Avenue Greenbelt is a linear park that is located in the center of the
coastal district'and enhances the appearance'of the district. The
Greenbe1t,is over half a mile long and is planted with trees, shrubs,and
turf. The Greenbelt provides an attractive setting for walking, viewing
and passive recre~tion. A library and senior citizen center have been
built on a small portion of the Greenbelt.

The City is building additional recreational facilities at the First
Street beach area. These include rest rooms, a snack bar, showers,
volleyball courts and a basketball court. These facilities will help
make the beach west of the pier better equipped to serve the needs of
beach visitors. Sand dunes also are located in this section of beach.

of (1) the redevelopment ot the Seal Beach Trailer Park into a 140
space mobile home park and BO townhouse units, (2) development of a
35 lot single family residential subdivision, and (3) the gradual
replacement of older beach cottages with custom single family residences,
duplexes and occasional apartment bui1din9s.
Future commercial development will primarily be limited to construction
of a neighborhood.shopping center on a ~~5 acre site located at Pacific
Coast Hi9hway and 5th Street, and some remodeling of existing commercial
&u1,rdi ngl='
The only planned future public land uses at this time are (1)
expansion of Marina Park and (2) development of a portion of the
Department of Water and Power site for recreational use.
The only public works project that is ,planned is the continuing alley
repa i r program.
Major Issues. (1) Future use of the nine acre City of Los Angeles
Department of Water and Power property, and funding if it is to be

Items Determined Not To Be Issues. (1) height of residential
development in the Goasta1 D)strict and (2) ~here is not a need for
commercial clustering along Pacific Coast Highway be~juse the area is
completely developed.
AREA 2 - MARINA HILL
Existing Uses., This area was subdivided in the 1950's. i'nto 5000
sq. ft. lots and developed w~th single family units. Some of the lots
were not developed when the property was subdivided. Over a period of
approximately 15 years, custom homes have been built on these lots.
There are approximately 960 developed lots and about five vacant lots
on Marina Hill. In addition to the residential development there is
a neighborhood shopping center fronting on Pacific Coast Highway and
one public intermediate school in this area.
Planned Development. It is anticipated that the few remaining
vacant lots will be developed with single family residences and some
remodeling of existing residences will take place.
No major public works projects will take place.
No major or secondary ~oastar-is~u.es exisCi.ri'fhls area.

corner of Seal Beach Boulevard an~ Westminster Avenue. (2.5 acres).
Planned Development. It is anticipated that the vacant Hellman
property will be developed with residential ~ses and recreational uses.
A comprehensive development plan for the Hellman Property should be
completed in the next several months. The oil extraction could continue
for the next ten to twenty years. The remainder of Rockwell International's
property is now zoned for development with light industrial uses. A
portion of the flood control retarding basin may be used for recreational
purposes.
Major Public Works. First Street may be extended to connect
Pacific Coast Highway and Seal Beach Boulevard and a new street will be
built to connect the First Street extension and Westminster Avenue.
Major Issues. (1) provision of major recreational facilities
on Hellman land, (2) development of the vacant Hellman land, (3) future
use of the State Lands Commission property, and (4) provision of low
and moderate income housing in the area.

Existing Use. The Naval Weapons Station contains approximately
3280 acres within the coastal zone bou~daries. The Nav~'has operated
the Weapons Station at this location s1!!~E!' the ear1y.1940's. All .
indications are that the Navy will remain at this location indefiniteiy;
Approximately 1200 acres of the Weapons Station has been designated as
a National Wildlife Refuge.
The County of Orange operates a public small bpat harbor (Sunset
Aquatic Park) at one corner of the Weapons Station. . This harbor 'has .,

Resolution Number
Major Public Works. Enlargement of Sunset Aquatic Park. Additional
boat slips would be provided, a campground would be developed and two
least Tern nesting areas would be created.
~or Issue. Expansion of the Sunset Aquatic Park.
Item Determined Not To Be An Issue. Lack of public access to
National Wildlife Refuge.
AREA 5.- SURFSIDE COLONY
Existing Uses. This area is a private community of single family
residences located adjacent to the beach. There are approximately 230
single family dwellings located on three parallel rows. The lots in
this area are very small, with the minimum lot size of 25 ft. x 35 ft.
Apprdximate1y 90% of the lots are developed. Any access into Surfside
Colony is restricted to residents and their guests.
One small commerctal development is located adjacent to Pacific
Coast Highway and Anderson Street. The Sunset Beach Water Tower is alao
located near thi's intersecti'on in Seal Beach.
Planned Development. Future development in Surfside will consist
of replacing older beach cottages with custom three story single family
residences. The Sunset Beach Water Tower will be refurbished and
maintained by a public agency. It is proposed that the City of
Huntington Beach dedicate the tower and land under the tower to the City
of Seal Beach. The County of Orange will then refurbish the tower and
the City of Seal Beach will miintatn the WaterTTower.
No major public works are anticipated or planned in this area.

PART 2 - EVALUATION OF COASTAL ACT POLICIES
This section of the Issue Identification Report is intended to
evaluate the City's existin9 plans and regulations in terms of the
policies contained in Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act of 1976.
This policy evaluation will be organized on the basis of six (6) policy
groups contained in the Coastal Act.
POLICY GROUP 1: PUBLIC ACCESS
Coastal Act Policies related to public access can be summarized
as follows:
--Development shall .not interfere with the public's right of
access to the sea.
--Public access to the coast shall be provided in new. development.
, '
--Public facilities shall be distributed throughout an area to
prevent overuse or over crowding.
--Low-cost visitor facilities and low-cost hou~jng shall be
preserved,' and where feasible, provided.
CONSISTENCY OF CI1Y PLANS AND REGULATIONS. In Area 1 (Coastal
District) beach access is provided at 13 dedicated street stubs, at
three beach parking lots containing approximately 590 parkin9 spaces
and via Seal Way Walkway, a dedicated public walk between the Seal Way.
residences and the beach (see map 2). Public transportation is provided
by three bus companies providing six routes into the area.
'If new subdivisi,ons ,are proposed adjacent to the beach, public
access will be provided at street stubs or through the project site in
compliance with provisions of the Subdivision Map Act.
The City has attempted to distribute public facilities throughout
the area in order to prevent overuse and over crowdin9. To this end,
the City has constructed beach related facilities at the First Street
beach parking lot. The effect of these new facilities is to encourage
family use of the First Street beach area which is the widest stretch
of beach in the City. ~
.

'I
.
Resolution Number.
With respect to low-cost visitor facilities and low-cost housing,
the City permits visitor serving facilities, motels and hotels, by
zoning, but has not actively solicited these types of development. The
municipal pier provides an opportunity for people to fish, walk, and view
the coast. Low-cost housing has been provided by two means; through the
Orange County Housin9 Authority (Section 8) and through the redevelopment
of the Seal Beach Trailer Park (Redevelopment Agency Project), The
City will evaluate all existing programs aimed at low-cost housing as
a part of the Local Coastal Program.
Potential Conflict. Overuse of the Seal Beach main beach which
can result in environmental damage to sand dunes, pollution of the water
and general degradation of the beach due to litter. To evaluate beach
use, the State standard of one person for each 100 sq. ft. of beach
will be uti1izied to determine the capacity of the beach.
The 'other factor that should be evaluated is available parking
as well as public transportation systems.
POLICY GROUP 2: RECREATION
Coastal Act policies related to recreation are summarized as
follows:
--Coastal areas suited for water-oriented recreation over private
development.
--Visitor-serving facilities will have priority over private
deve 1 opment.
--Upland areas to support coastal 'recreation shall be reserved,
where feasible.
--Increased recreational boating use of coastal waters shall be
.
encouraged.
Consistency of City Plans and Regulations. The Land Use Element,
Open Space/Recreation/Conservation Element and the Zonin9 Ordinance show
all beach areas and the Sunset Aquatic Park as public land use and permits
only public recreational type uses.
Although visitor servin9 facilities are permitted by zoning, there
are no specific provisions to give visitor serving priority over other
type of development. The concept of providing priority for visitor
servin9 projects will be explored in the Work Program for the Local
Coastal Program.

Open Space/Recreation/ Conservation Element provide for an enlargement
of Sunset Aquatic Park to further encourage boating in the coastal waters.
Potential Conflicts. The ability to provide significant
additional visitor serving facilities in the coastal district or upland
areas. It will be necessary to evaluate the capacity of the main beach
to determine if any other visitor serving or upland support facilities
should be provided. To evaluate capacity of the beach, the following
will be considered: size of the beach, State standards on personstarea~
of beach, present usage of beach, possibility of damage to the beach
(sand dunes, etc), available parking (on street and in lots), public
transporation systems and services available on the beach (restrooms,
lifeguards, drinking water, showers, etc).
POLICY GROUP 3: MARINE ENVIRONMENT
Coastal Act policies related to the marine environment are
summarized as follows:
--Marine resources shall be maintained, and where feasible,
restored.
--Biological productivity and quality of coastal waters shall be
maintained, and where feasible, restored.
--Diking, filling and dredgin9 shall be permitted in accordance
with regul~tions.
-- Facilities serving commercial fishing and recreational
boating shall be protected.
--Construction on or over coastal waters shall incorporate the
best mitigation measures available.
Consistency of City P1an~ and Regulations. The City's Open
Space/Recreation/Conservation Element to the General Plan specifically
requires that the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge be protected in
its present form and encourages restoration of the marshlands. The
City's policies regarding the Wildlife Refuge marshland help to
encourage biological productivity of the immediately adjacent open ocean
water area.

The City does not regulate any diking, filling or dredging in
any ocean, bay, marsh or river area. All such proposals are referred
to the Army Corps of Engineers. Fish and Game, Flood Control or other
responsible agency.
Two facilities exi'st in the City which serve recreational
fishing and boating. (No commercial fishing exists in Seal Beach).
The Seal Beach Pier, a City owned facility, provides recreational
fishing opportunitues by pier fishing, barge fishing and sports fishing.
The City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance recognize the pier as
serving an important recreational fishing need and calls for preservation
and maintenance of the pier. The Sunset Aquatic Park (operated by Orange
County) provides a facility devoted to recreational boating. The City's
General Plan recognizes the Park as a regional small boat facility with
the potential for expansion to provide additional ~ecreationa1 boating
in this section of the County.
The City neither encourages not permits private construction on
or over coastal waters.
Potential Conflicts. There appears to be no conflicts between
the City's policies and the Coastal Act regarding the marine environment.
POLICY GROUP 4: LAND RESOURCES
Coastal Act policies related to land resources are summarized
as foll ows:
--Environmentally sensitive habitat areas shall be protected.
--Where development would adversely impact archaeological and
paleontological resources, mitigation measures shall be required.
Consistency of the City's Plans and Regulations. The City's
Land Use Element, Open Space/Recreation/Conservation Element and Zoning
Ordinance all recognize the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge as
an environmentally sensitive habitat area which needs to be protected.
The land is zoned Public Land Use, PLU, which specifically precludes
any private development. The Wildlife Refuge was created by an Act
of Congress, is wholly owned by the United States of America, is within
a Federal military reservation (Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station) and
is administered by the Department of the Interior. It is the stated
objective of the Federal Government to permanently protect and preserve
thi s refuge.

There is one area in Seal Beach which contains known archaeological
sites; the vacant Hellman land. These sites have been noted and
referenced in several Environmental Impact Reports prepared for projects
in the City. Any proposed development of the Hellman property must
include consideration of preserving or properly excavating the
archaeological sites as required by the California Environmental Quality
Act and present State law.
Potential Conflict. No significant conflicts with this policy
have been identified.
GROUP POLICY 5: DEVELOPMENT
Coastal Act policies related to development are summarized as
follows:
--New development shall be located contiguous to existing
developed areas.
--Scenic and visual qualities of coastal areas shall be
considered and protected.
--The location and amount of new development should enhance
public access to the coast.
--Development shall minimize risk to life and property in
areas of high flood, fire and geologic hazard.
--Development shall minimize energy consumption and vehicle
miles traveled.
--Where existing or planned public works facilities can
accomodate a"limited amount of deve10pement, visitor serving
facilities shall not be precluded by other development.
--Coastal dependent developments shall have priority over
other developments on or near the shoreline.
With regard to development, two categories should be discussed;
subdivided land and vacant land.
Subdivided Land. The downtown area, Marina Hill and Surfside are
all subdivided. Any new construction in these three areas will be
restricted to existing lots and will constitute infilling consistent
with surrounding development. The provisions of the General Plan and
Zoning Ordinance insure compatibility with surrounding development.

Vacant Land. All non-subdivided vacant land is located behind
the Marina Hill single family residential area. The location of the
land precludes any impact on (1) scenic and visual qualities of the
coast, and (2) public access to the coast.
This land is contiguous to existing developed areas. Any
development in this area must include assurances that no flood, fire
or geologic risk will result from the development (Alquist-Priolo
Geologic Special Studies, Seismic Safety-Safety Element to the General
Plan) .
Any development must comply with the latest energy conservation
requirements. The location of the vacant land provides access to
Pacific Coast Highway, Seal Beach Boulevard and Westminster Avenue,
Existing or planned public works facilities can accomodate
all anticipated development of all types.
No developments are planned on or near the shoreline.
Potential Conflicts. There appears to be no conflict between
, ,
the City's policies and the Coastal Act regarding development.
GROUP POLICY 6: ,INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.
Coastal Act policies related to industrial development are
summarized as follows:
--Coastal dependent industrial facilities shall be encouraged
to located or expand within existing sites and shall be permitted
reasonable long term growth.
Consistency of City Plans and Regulations. There are no coastal
dependent industrial facilities in the City of Seal Beach.
Potential Conflicts. No conflicts have been identified.
