PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT 5-91 - CORNER LOTS /
HOURS OF OPERATION / PUBLIC LAND USE ZONE / WOODEN DECKS /
NON-CONFORMING BUSINESS ACTIVITY
Mayor Laszlo declared the public hearing open to consider
Zoning Text Amendment 5-91. The city Clerk certified that
notice of the public hearing had been advertised as required
by law and reported no communications received either for or
against this matter. The Director of Development Services
asked that the amendment of Code section 28-2002(1), to
include public recreation and park facilities as permitted
uses in the Public Land Use Zone, be removed from
consideration at this time. He described the proposed
standards for the four remaining areas of consideration as
1) amending the minimum corner lot size in all residential
zones of Planning District I (Old Town) from 27.5 by 100
feet to 25 by 100 feet; 2) requiring the~issuance of a
Conditional Use Permit in conjunction with the operation of
any commercial activity between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and
6:00 a.m., and requiring existing businesses that are open
during that period to apply for Conditional Use Permit
approval within six months of the Code amendment; 3)_
allowing the construction of low-level wooden decks within
setback areas, and requiring a minimum of forty percent
landscaped area.-in the front setback; and 4) requiring the
1-13-92
issuance of a Conditional Use Permit in conjunction with the
operation of any existing activity which is non-conforming
due to lack of a Conditional Use Permit, and requiring
existing businesses which are nonconforming due to lack of a
Conditional Use Permit to apply for Conditional Use Permit
approval within six months of the Code amendment. In
response to Council, the Director explained there is I
currently no requirement that a percentage of the front yard -
area be landscaped, in fact the entire front yard could be
concrete, the proposed change would require that at the time
building plans are ,submitted, plans will be required for the
front yard area as well as a permit required for flat work
improvements to ensure that the landscaping requirements are
met. In the case of Conditional Use Permit requests the
City will notify persons within three hundred feet, the cost
associated with such notices included as part of the
application fee, and with regard to a business that has been
the cause of problems, he noted that the CUP process will
allow the Planning Commission, based on public input, to
impose conditions felt appropriate to mitigate the impacts
of an existing operation, if the conditions are not met
there are provisions in the Code to address those
situations, and clarified that he believed the intent of the
Commission was that the CUP process would apply to those
uses that presently require a CUP however were in operation
prior to current Code. He noted that the 2:00 a.m. to 6:00
a.m. provision would apply to all businesses and is an
attempt to address expressed concerns as to the impacts on
adjacent residential neighborhoods, the CUP hearing notice
required to be sent to properties within three hundred feet
of the business location, or in the case of a shopping
center, three hundred feet of the boundaries of the I
property.
Mayor Laszlo invited members of the audience wishing to
speak to this item to come to the microphone and state their
name and address for the record. Ms. Reva Olson, Seal
Beach, inquired as to the status of prohibiting the issuance
of entertainment licenses that back to residential
properties. The Director responded that the matter is being
worked on, however there are a number of court cases and
constitutional issues that need to be researched and
studied. Mr. Bill Orszewsky, 85 Riversea Road, spoke
regarding businesses that cater to round-the-clock living,
offered his opinion that public hearings often create a
hostile atmosphere for business, and suggested that the
Council should waive that potential in the interest of
business. Mr. Bruce Stark, Seal Beach, noted that the
corner lot standards are proposed to apply to all properties
in Old Town rather than medium and high density properties
which was the initial intent, and pointed out that there are
recorded CC & R's for the properties located on the
southerly side of Ocean Avenue which restricts the size of
the lots to thirty foot frontage. He claimed that the
proposed standard is an attempt to revoke the CC & R's,
could result in litigation and could be considered as I
downzoning. There being no further comments, Mayor Laszlo
declared the publicreyaring closed.
ORDINANCE NUMBER 1I~- ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT 5-91 - CORNER
LOTS / HOURS OF OPERATION / WOODEN DECKS / NON-CONFORMING
BUSINESS ACTIVITY
Ordinance Number 1J48 was presented to Council for first
reading entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

consent, full reading of Ordinance Number 1'48 was waived.

The Assistant city Attorney clarified that the City has the
power to zone property regardless of what is contained in CC
& R's, otherwise people would develop their own CC & R's to
avoid city zoning, and the City would not be a party to
conflicts between property owners. Mr. Stark responded that
the CC & R's were at the behest of the City, copies of which
are to be provided the city Manager, and in the absence of
one of the three persons who are supposedly to enforce the
CC & R's the city makes the appointment to fill the vacancy,
thus the City is involved. The Director of Development
Services clarified that the proposed standard applies to
Planning District One, is applicable to medium and high
density properties, and does not apply to the Gold Coast,
Riverbeach, Trailer Park or Bridgeport areas. He noted that
at such time as the General Plan is updated it would be
desirable to amend the Zoning Ordinance to change the
planning district designations to coincide with the
Councilmanic District designations for clarity. Wilson
moved, second by Forsythe, to approve the introduction of
Ordinance Number 1148 as amended to delete reference to
Section 28-2002(1) relating to Public Land Use, and that it
be passed to second reading.

PUBLIC HEARING - ESTABLISHING FEES - FILMING ACTIVITIES and
ANIMAL CONTROL
Mayor Laszlo declared the public hearing open to consider
establishing fees for filming activities and to revise the
fees for animal control activities. The city Clerk
certified that notice of the public hearing had been
advertised as required by law, and reported receipt of no
communications. The City Manager explained that the filming
fees are a follow-up to the recently adopted Ordinance
establishing regulations for filming, the proposed fees and
charges relate to commercial still photography and motion
filming, including video, cover an annual permit
application, business license, location fee, use of city
property, equipment and vehicles, personnel time, and
parking lot usage. He stated the fees for animal services
basically relate to an adjustment of the cost of animal
licenses, the proposed adjusted fees anticipated to increase
revenue in the animal services operation by $5000 to $7000,
thus a reduction of the General Fund subsidy.
There were no public comments relating to the proposed fees
for filming activities or animal control services. Mayor
Laszlo declared the public hearing closed. Discussion
continued with regard to the various animal services fees.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN
The City Manager presented the staff report, specifically
noted that the Plan was developed to the guidelines,
policies and Codes of the State Office of Emergency Services
and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, that both
agencies have reviewed the Draft Plan and' found it to be
consistent and compatible with both Federal and State
requirements. He explained that although there is no
obligation for the city to have an Emergency Plan, it will
increase the capability for quick response and enhance the
ability to manage and coordinate response efforts in the
case of emergency, and having an OES and FEMA approved Plan
reduces city liability and provides an assurance of full-
cost reimbursement in certain emergencies. Doane moved,
second by Wilson, to adopt the Emergency Operations Plan as
presented.

RESOLUTION NUMBER 4117 - ORANGE COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION
DISTRICT - PARTICIPATION IN FORMATION
Resolution Number 4117 was presented to Council entitled "A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING AND AGREEING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
FORMATION OF AN ORANGE COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT." By
unanimous consent, full reading of Resolution Number 4117
was waived. The city Manager presented the staff report
relating to an evaluation of the financial feasibility for
an Orange County Fire Protection District, initiated by the
Structural Fire Fund (direct property tax funding) contract
cities, the District to be separate from the County Fire
Department, administered through a joint powers agreement,
with each participating city having one representative to
the governing board of the District. He noted that the four
cash contract cities, Seal Beach, Placentia, Stanton and
Tustin, were invited to participate in the phase one
feasibility study of a Fire Protection District, which has
now been completed, and the request for Council
consideration is for authorization to participate in phase
two of the study at a cost not to exceed $5000. He
clarified that participation is not a commitment to shift I
from the present county Cash Contract to a special district,
that there is no dissatisfaction with the services provided
by orange County Fire, and in fact the County is a --
participant in the process of the Fire District concept, yet
the study allows the City'S needs to be analyzed and
subsequently an evaluation of whether there is a more cost
effective means to provide fire services. The Manager
mentioned that as a participant in the Project steering
Committee, he and the other cash contract cities have
emphasized the need for a interim service contract wherein
the rates would be pre-established for an initial term of
three to five years before any final action of participation
1-13-92
I
could be recommended. He explained that the concept of the
District would be to establish fire service zones where the
cost of service would be different in the stable areas from
those where there is growth and new stations and manpower
are needed, which has been the primary impact on the County
Fire budget as a result of the growth in South county, which
in turn causes somewhat of an inflated cost to cities such
as Seal Beach. He added that at the conclusion of phase two
of the study an action would be required to authorize the
filing of an application with LAFCO to form the District,
and even if formed, Seal Beach could continue on a cash
contract basis with the District, pending further evaluation
of other options such as joining the District.
Wilson moved, second by Forsythe, to adopt Resolution Number
4117 as presented and direct the city Manager to report back
the results of negotiations of a proforma agreement for cash
contract fire services prior to processing of the LAFCO
application for formation of a Fire District. In response
to Councilmember Hastings, the city Manager reported the
Naval.Weapons station have a fire station and provide their
own first response, that the city would respond in an
emergency situation as would be the case with other cities.
Mr. Richard Williamson, NWS Public Relations Officer,
advised that there are three engines on the Station, that
mutual aid assistance training is currently being received
from the County, and confirmed that mutual aid would be
utilized in the case of a second alarm, where additional or
specialized equipment is needed, and that funds flow between
the governmental agencies for any related costs.

COUNCIL CONCERNS
Councilmembe~ Forsythe inquired as to the status of reducing
the speed limit on Bolsa Avenue as well as Seal Beach -
Boulevard in the vicinity of McGaugh School. The City
Manager advised that a report will be forthcoming on Bolsa
and that the accident history of Seal Beach Boulevard is
being reviewed. Mayor Laszlo again mentioned the need to
update the General Plan, and even though it may take a year
to do so, asked if an interim ordinance could be adopted to
require any new project to meet the new General Plan
criteria. The Assistant city Attorney advised that there
was a recent case where the court allowed the application of
a draft General Plan.
I
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mayor Laszlo declared Oral Communications open. Ms. Seretta
Fielding, Seal Beach Boulevard, expressed appreciation to
the staff and Council for the time and effort devoted to
accomplish the zone change for seai Beach Boulevard. Ms.
Fielding said until recently she had not been aware that the
speed limit on Seal Beach Boulevard adjacent to McGaugh
School is fifty miles per hour, and until the speed limit
can be changed, she suggested that some type of barrier be
placed next to the school, where only a chain link fence now
exists, as a safety factor for protection of the children.--
Councilmember Forsythe expressed concern with the small
children in attendance in the portable classrooms and with
those crossing the Boulevard to and from the Navy housing.
The city Manager reported that there are State standards for
establishing speed limits, that radar enforcement is not
allowed to be used on a street where the speed limit is set
below that which eighty-five percent of the people drive.
