THRU: David Carmany, City Manager
FROM: Lee Whittenberg, Director of Development Services
SUBJECT: RECONSIDERATION OF AD HOC GENERAL
PLAN/LOCAL COASTAL PLAN CITIZENS ADVISORY
COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
After review and discussion, consider adoption of Resolution No. 5852, A
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Seal Beach, California, Reestablishing
the Membership of the Ad Hoc General Plan/Local Coastal Plan Citizens Advisory
Committee. Receive and File Staff Report.
BACKGROUND:
The Ad Hoc General Plan/Local Coastal Plan Citizens Advisory Committee (GP-
LCP Committee) was established pursuant to City Council Resolution 5036 on
July 22, 2002. Please refer to Attachment B to review City Council Resolution
5036.
The adopted resolution indicates the following regarding its membership:
^ The City Council shall appoint one member, and the Environmental
Quality Control Board shall appoint two members of the respective boards
to the GP-LCP Committee (Section 2 of Resolution No. 5036); and
^ The GP-LCP Committee shall consist of thirteen (13) voting members: one
City Council Member, two Environmental Quality Control Board Members;
and ten additional Council appointees. Each Councilperson shall have
two appointments to the Committee and shall have the discretion to
appoint two alternates, and those appointments need not reside within the
appointing councilperson's district. It is desirable that the members of the
Committee have particular skills, background, and knowledge of land use
planning, local coastal issues, transportation planning, or other related
areas of urban development (Section 3 of Resolution No. 5036).
Agenda Item L
Page 2
The City Council minutes of July 8, 2002, reflect the initial discussion regarding
this matter and that the initial proposal was to have one member of the City
Council, Planning Commission, and Environmental Quality Control Board serve,
along with ten additional appointees (2 by each Councilperson). During
discussion on the matter the City Attorney requested the matter to be continued
to the next City Council meeting to ensure that there were no conflicts with the
City Charter provisions. Please refer to Attachment C to review the City Council
Minutes of July 8, 2002.
On July 22, 2002 this matter was reconsidered and extensive discussion and
several motions were made regarding the matter. The ultimate action of the City
Council was to adopt Resolution No. 5036, as summarized above. Please refer
to Attachment D to review the City Council Minutes of July 22, 2002.
That action was taken in response to recommendations of the City Attorney, in
light of appointments made by then Councilpersons Yost and Campbell of
Planning Commissioners Shanks and Hood to the GP-LCP Committee, resulting
in the potential of having a third member of the Commission serving on the GP-
LCP Committee (including the Planning Commission appointment). This would
have required all meetings of the GP-LCP Committee being noticed as Planning
Commission meetings, due to a quorum of the Planning Commission being in
attendance at the CP-LCP Committee meetings.
At this time there are no members of the Planning Commission serving on the
CP-LCP Committee. The current appointees are provided as Attachment E for
the information of the City Council.
OPTIONS FOR CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION RE: PLANNING
COMMISSION MEMBERS SERVING ON GP-LCP COMMITTEE:
If the City Council determines it is appropriate to have seated members of the
Planning Commission serve on the GP-LCP Committee the following options are
available to the Council:
^ Council may determine to replace current members of the GP-LCP
Committee with no more than .a total of two Planning Commission
members. This action would not require any amendment to the current
provisions of Resolution No. 5036 - it would require the removal of two
current members of the GP-LCP Committee, as would determined by the
City Council and appointing two members of the Planning Commission; or
^ Council may determine to consider adoption of prepared Resolution No.
5852, which would reestablish the membership of the GP-LCP Committee to
include one member of the City Council, Planning Commission, and
Environmental Quality Control Board. This action would not result in the
changing of the current membership, as the EQCB currently has a
vacancy on the GP-LCP Committee, and there are no members of the
Page 3
Planning Commission currently serving on the GP-LCP Committee.
Under this option the Planning Commission appointment would replace
the vacant EQCB position and all other members of the GP-LCP
Committee would remain. The prepared resolution to accomplish this
option is provided as Attachment A.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Minor. Future activities in reviewing the Draft Housing Element and Draft Local
Coastal Plan will result in the allocation of existing staff resources as necessary
to provide technical and clerical support functions for the Committee during those
review periods.
RECOMMENDATION:
After review and discussion, consider adoption of Resolution No. 5852, A
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Seal Beach, California, Reestablishing
the Membership of the Ad Hoc General Plan/Local Coastal Plan Citizens Advisory
Committee. Receive and File Staff Report.

Public Hearings
The Planning Commission and the City Council will conduct public hearings oa the proposed
General Plan and the Coastal Land Use Plan. In addition, the California Coastal Commission will
conduct a public hearing regarding the review of the Coastal Land Use Plan. These opportunities
for public input will be advertised and noticed as required by state law.
General Plan Advisory Committee and Workshops
CAA proposes the forasatioa of a General Plan Advisory Committee, or GPAC, to serve as the core
group to work with the consultant team in review and development of the dram General Plan and
Coastal Land Use Plan documents The role of the GPAC will be to review and comment on
proposed updated drafts of individual elements. We recommend the GPAC be comprised of
approximately 10 people and include representatives ofthe Planning Commission and other standing
commissions and committees, and representatives of the community ai large. The GPAC could also
include a City Council representative.
CAA proposes to conduct four GPAC workshops as follows:

with any applicable supporting documentation in advance of each meeting. CAA will facilitate a
discussion of each element and help identify issue areas and any proposed changes. Representatives
from Mestre Greve Associates will participate in the Noise Element workshop, and a representative
from Kunanan Associates will participate in the Circulation Element workshop. Of course,
applicable City staff will participate in each workshop as well. Each workshop is assumed to be
approximately three hours long.

CEQA Compliance Documeatatioa
The proposed General Plan update is a considered a `project" under CEQA CEQA cotapliance

tasks required for the preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration. If significant adverse
environmental effects are identified that cannot be mitigated, an Environmental Impact Report will
need to be prepared In this evea~ a revised scope of work will need to be prepared to accommodate

July 8, 2002
The City Council of the City of Seal Beach met in regular session at 7:00 p.m.
with Mayor Larson calling the meeting to order with the Salute to the Flag.
ROLL CALL
Present: Mayor Larson
Councilmembers Antos, Campbell, Doane, Yost
Absent: None
Also present: Mr. Bahorski, City Manager
Mr. Barrow, City Attorney
Mr. Whittenberg, Director of Development Services
Mr. Dancs, Director of Public Works/City Engineer

Ms. Yeo, City Clerk
RESOLUTION NUMBER 5036 - AD HOC GENERAL PLAN/LOCAL COASTAL
PLAN CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Director of Development Services noted that this item is returned for
consideration based upon the direction of Council at last meeting and the
determination to form a General Plan/Local Coastal Plan Citizens Advisory
Committee, to that a Resolution has been prepared that is believed to reflect
Council direction, it would be a thirteen member committee, one appointee from
each of the Council, Planning Commission and Environmental Quality Control
Board, each member of the Council will have two appointees, attached to the
Resolution as exhibit A is the Scope of Work for the public participation program
as adopted by the Council which indicates the meetings and the related topics of
those meetings.
Councilman Yost inquired if this Plan will be considered by the Environmental
Quality Control Board, the Planning Commission and then the Council for
approval, the response of the Director was that the General Plan and Local
Coastal Plan are required to have public hearings before the Commission and
the Council, the EQCB will review the environmental document which at this
point is believed will be a mitigated negative declaration rather than an
environmental impact report, they will review that document during the review
period, make comments, and those comments will ultimately be forwarded to the
Commission and Council. Councilman Yost then asked if it would be a conflict to
have a member of the EQCB sit on the Committee. The City Attorney advised
that there is no conflict under State provisions, and offered to review and
determine if there may be a conflict with the Charter. As to the four workshops,
Councilmember Campbell asked when they are presumed to start and end. The
Director responded that a work schedule has not been developed as yet however
noted that a meeting is scheduled with the consultant the following day, once the
schedule is known Council will be advised, the workshops will be tied to the
schedule of the consultant and dependent upon the appointments to the
committee and schedules of those individuals. He explained further that the
committee is set up to review the existing document for each Element as well as
the revision document, that could be four to six months, once all of the Elements
are in draft form the process should go fairly quickly. Councilman Antos said he
would hope that the Local Coastal Program could be on its own track rather than
wait until the end, once the changes that are necessary are dealt with in the Land
Use Element and if any would affect the Coastal Zone then the LCP should be
able to move forward, as there are a number of projects in the downtown area
that are held up because of the ladk of a Local Coastal Program, therefore if the
LCP can be processed through provided it is consistent with the Land Use
Element it will then be consistent with the other Elements. Councilman Antos
offered to serve as the Council appointed member of the committee, explaining
that he is involved in planning and much of the coastal areas are in the First
District. Mayor Larson noted that the committee Resolution allows each member
of the Council to appoint two members, and inquired if it would be appropriate to
have alternates so in effect there would be four members, the response was that
that would be at the discretion of the Council, staff would have no opposition just
so it is understood that the voting member would be either/or but not both. The
City Attorney mentioned that staff is looking at whether or not members of the
EQCB, Planning Commission, and Council can sit on this committee, noting
however in the past there have been Council and board members that have
served as ex-officio members of ad hoc sub-committees, his preference would be
to look at the issue a bit further, Councilman Yost offered that his EQCB and
Commission appointees would he his first choice in that they have the most
experience with the General Plan, the history of the community, and
environmental issues. Councilman Antos said if the Attorney determines that
those persons could only sit as ex-officio members, he would still like to serve in
that capacity. Given the fact that the Resolution cites members being appointed
by the City Council, Planning Commission, and the Environmental Quality
Control Board, the City Attorney recommended that both the Resolution and
appointees to the ad hoc committee be held over until the next meeting. Doane
moved, second by Yost, to continue this item until the next meeting.
AYES: Antos, Campbell, Doane, Larson, Yost
NOES: None Motion carried

RESOLUTION NUMBER 5036 -CREATING AD HOC GENERAL PLAN/LOCAL
COASTAL PLAN CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE -APPOINTMENTS
The Director of Development Services made reference to the request of the
Council at the last meeting that the City Attorney determine the acceptability of
members of the Environmental Quality Control Board and Planning Commission
serving on this Committee inasmuch as those bodies will eventually be reviewing
environmental documents and drafts of the General Plan and Local Coastal Plan.
He reported the City Attorney did research the Charter finding that there are no
prohibitions, therefore it is possible for a member of the Council, Commission,
and EQCB to serve on the Committee with each of those bodies making the
appointment, the Resolution having been revised to reflect that.
Campbell moved, second by Yost, to adopt Resolution Number 5036 entitled "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, CREATING AN AD HOC GENERAL PLAN/ LOCAL COASTAL
PLAN CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE." By unanimous consent, full reading
of Resolution Number 5036 was waived.
AYES: Antos, Campbell, Doane, Larson, Yost
NOES: None Motion carried
With regard to appointments to the Ad Hoc Committee, Councilmember
Campbell stated she had none at this time, Councilman Yost appointed Mr.
Gordon Shanks, a member of the Planning Commission and held over the
second appointment, and Councilman Antos noted that he had made his
appointments in conjunction with the regular board and commission
appointments, Mr. John Regnier and Mr. Joe Ribal, as well as alternates Mr.
Dave Evans and Ms. Barbara Barton, these appointments were approved by
Council, if the other members of the Council choose to make appointments of
alternates it would be appropriate that they do so. He also mentioned that since
there will be a member of the Council on the Committee he offered to serve in
the capacity of a voting member or an ex-officio member if it is determined that
the Council appointee can not vote, he has a planning background and was
involved in most of the Elements to the current General Plan and Local Coastal
Plan, the members of the Council agreed to Councilman Antos serving as the
Council appointee. Councilman Doane appointed Mr. Mike Levitt as the District
Five appointee as well as Mr. Phil Ladner, also a member of the Planning
Commission. Concern was expressed with a potential conflict with the
appointment of a third member of the Planning Commission, confirmed by the
City Attorney, at which time Councilman Doane withdrew the nomination of Mr.
Ladner and appointed Mr. Rallie Rallis to the Committee. Mayor Larson
appointed Ms. Ruth Harrison and Mr. Tom Pontac. Councilmember Campbell
noted having inquired as to when the Planning Commission was going to make
an appointment, if the Commission does not intend to choose Dr. Hood she
intended to appoint him as one of her two appointees. The City Attorney offered
that with the two Planning Commission nominations the Council could reconsider
the Resolution to reflect that the Planning Commission would not have the power
to appoint a third member from the Commission. It was clarified that Planning
Commissioners Shanks and Hood had been appointed.
Yost moved, second by Antos, to reconsider Resolution Number 5036
AYES: Antos, Campbell, Doane, Larson, Yost
NOES: None Motion carried
The City Attorney suggested the deletion of the Planning Commission from
Section Two of the Resolution. Yost moved, second by Antos, to approve the
revised language of Resolution Number 5036. Mayor Larson clarified that that
would not include a second appointee by the EQCB.
AYES: Antos, Campbell, Doane, Larson, Yost
NOES: None ~ Motion carried
Councilman Doane suggested that the Environmental Quality Control Board
make their own appointments. The City Attorney posed options that the EQCB
make two appointments or the EQCB make one appointment and the Council
make a second appointment.
Yost moved, second by Antos, that the Environmental Quality Control Board
make two appointments from that body.
AYES: Antos, Campbell, Doane, Larson, Yost
NOES: None Motion carried
Councilmember Campbell mentioned that the Council has made appointment of
two members of the Planning Commission, their background is known and they
will work well, if the EQCB is allowed to make two appointments that takes away
the ability of the Council to make two appointments. Councilman Doane
countered that the EQCB knows its membership and they should have the ability
to appoint the thirteenth member, argument was again made that that takes away
an appointment by a member of the Council.
The City Attorney offered that based upon the motion adopted the language of
Section 2 is that the Council shall appoint one member to the Committee, the
EQCB sha11 appoint two members to the Committee, if it is felt that needs to be
revised again there could be another motion to reconsider, or if the EQCB does
not actually make the two appointments this could be revisited once again.
Confidence was expressed with regard to the EQCB making the two
appointments. Mayor Larson clarified that each person named shall be a member
of the Ad Hoc Committee including Councilmember Antos. Announcement was
made of the names of the appointments made thus far, also clarified that
Councilmembers Campbell and Yost each have a remaining appointment, and
after some discussion it was determined that nine appointments had been made.
Councilman Antos noted a listing of workshops, his presumption is that they
would be with the consultant, he would imagine that the staff and committee
would likely need to meet more than the four workshops proposed, the response
of staff was that the schedule was proposed by the consultant in their scope of
work.
