AYES: Antos, Levitt, Miller, Shanks, Sloan NOES: None Motion carried With no objections Mayor Sloan called for a recess at 8:10 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 8:18 p.m. ITEM "P" / RESOLUTION NO. 5995 / RIVER'S END STAGING AREA & SAN GABRIEL RIVER BIKEWAY ENHANCEMENT PLAN PROJECT / MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION - APPEAL BY BAY CITY PARTNERS LLC Mayor Sloan announced this was the time and place to open the public hearing for the consideration of: River's End Staging Area and San Gabriel River Bikeway Enhancement Plan and Mitigated Negative Declaration - Bay City Partners LLC (appellant) appealed the Planning Commission's decision to adopt a mitigated negative declaration for the project. The Director of Development Services provided a brief staff report indicating what is before the Council for consideration: , • The project of the River's End Staging Area (RESA) and San Gabriel River Bikeway Trail Project - RESA is approximately 2.7 acres consisting primarily of parking lot located at the southerly terminus of 1st Street with approximately 114 parking spaces - the project would be the repaving and restriping of the parking lot adding 1 additional parking space, along with informational kiosks, and directional signage - the Bikeway improvements consist of repaving the trail at the last 3.4 miles section from the intersection of the 405 freeway to the southerly terminus parking lot to the RESA - the project will also include minor landscape improvements replacing non - native plants with native plants. (MND has a list of native plants that would be planted) • The appeal of the Planning Commission decision made on March 18, 2010 in approving the Mitigation Negative Declaration - appellant: Bay City Partners LLC (filed - March 29, 2010): basis of appeal was the City did not adequately Page - 7 City Council 04/26/10 respond to their letters dated March 5th and March 18th (City responded in writing to the March 5th letter and verbally to the March 18th letter) - the Planning Commission did consider all the comments submitted during the 30 day public review period before taking action on the proposed project. • Staff requests Council to: adopt Resolution No. 5995 - adopting the MND and mitigation monitoring report for RESA and San Gabriel Bikeway and approve the construction and landscape improvements pursuant to the MND and implementation of the associated mitigation measures. The Mayor opened the public hearing for comments from the public. Speakers: "Ed Selich, Bay City Partner (BCP) representative & applicant, made general comments specific to the MND appeal: o BCP would be willing to donate the driveway and the San Gabriel River trail at • no cost upon receipt of their zoning entitlements for the development area of their property; o In the interim BCP will grant the City permission to construct the RESA improvements so this can be done in a timely manner; o BCP has no desire to develop the land south of Central Way and has submitted an alternative zoning plan to leave the specific plan untouched south of Central Way and have residential lots similar to Old Town in the development north of Central Way - have agreed to reduce the height limit to 25 feet; o Ask for the Council to reject the RESA MND and work with BCP on a joint environmental process - this would allow time for all the environmental and ownership deficiencies to be cleaned up - the City just received a 2 year extension on the State grant money so there is time to do this the proper way; o There is an opportunity for the City and BCP to work together - so far the negotiations with the City has failed to bring this about - this necessitated the filing of this appeal and CEQA litigation; o Asked for direct negotiations with Council representatives which was rejected - have also suggested a mediation process which would include Council members - this would be less expensive than pursuing the current litigation; o All this unnecessary litigation is costing not only BCP but the residents of Seal Beach unnecessary taxpayers dollars - this could reach millions of dollars to compensate BCP in the condemnation action (this is the land BCP is willing to give the City at no cost); and o Urge Council to overturn the Planning Commission decision and direct staff to work with BCP on a joint environmental and settlement process - settling this would result in a low density development north of Central Way within community standards, public open space south of Central Way and along the river, and an end to the wasteful litigation. *Doug Evertz, attorney for BCP, indicated BCP has submitted detailed comments on the MND - would like to address 3 specific issued in the MND: 1) Project description is not complete or accurate - the City does not own or control all aspects of the bikeway, 2) Traffic and circulation - this project will clearly impact visitors to the area - MND does not quantify the impact of additional visitors (more parking and traffic problems), and 3) Piecemealing - need to evaluate the entire project - RESA project is contingent upon the trail (which BCP owns) therefore the City needs to evaluate the BCP project to see if the City will have use of that trail way or not (need to process the BCP environmental application consistently with and contingent with the City project) - last comment made was in reference to the southern portion of the BCP property as open space - this would create addition demands on the RESA project as well as parking and restroom facility - these are environmental impacts that need to be analyzed concurrently with both the RESA project and the BCP project. *Joyce Parque, 6th Street, stated her opinions on the issue - City cannot apply for grant funds for private property. There being no other speakers the Mayor Page 8 - City Council 04/26/10 closed the public hearing. Councilman Levitt asked if staff could provide a map of the area to better understand what is being discussed. The City Attorney asked for a recess to confer with the Director of Development Service to address the 3 additional issues that were presented by the applicant's attorney - will return to provide staff response to the issues and a possible revised resolution for Council consideration. With no objections the Mayor called for a recess at 8:35 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:20 p.m. City Attorney stated during the recess the City Engineer was able to get a map of the River's End project from a 2008 presentation showing the areas for enhancement and what is presently there. The Director of Development Services responded to the 3 issues brought up by the appellant's attorney: 1) Project description is complete and does adequately describe the project - the public and decision makers know where the project is, what the proposed project will be, and what the impacts will be - all parties acknowledge there are site control issues however impacts on the environment are independent of site control issues; 2) Traffic and circulation impacts were identified in the MND in section 4 -15 (this would be less than significant); and 3) Piecemealing was covered in the staff report. The standard that the City needs to use is have the comments submitted been considered prior to making the determination - Council has all the information they need to reach a conclusion to adopt the MND and to approve the project described in the MND. Antos moved, second by Shanks, to enter into the record all documents listed in the staff report and draft Resolution No. 5995 Section 7. - the Initial Study, the MND, the comments on the MND, the responses to the comments on the MND, written and oral staff reports, all correspondence, all public testimony, the statement made by the appellant's attorney, and all exhibits attached to the staff report. AYES: Antos, Levitt, Miller, Shanks, Sloan NOES: None Motion carried The City Attorney reviewed the revised draft resolution that was prepared during the recess to address the issues raised by the appellant's attorney: • Section 6 - added language after the first sentence to where the wording states "Staff responded to those arguments." • Section 8 - added items 3 through 6 • Section 5 - was added as a housekeeping measure (addresses the Planning Commission's decision) Council Comments: • Agree with item #5 of the revised resolution in section 8 - personally believes that global warming is a myth - the appeal application is a separate issue from the adjacent area known as DWP property issue and should not try and tie the two together; • There are 2 different subjects - BCP wants to develop housing on their property - Council has not agreed to any of their proposals so far - have not seen a recent design submitted for the DWP property - all the proceeding on the appeal stems from the City's response to their unrelated request - if Council agrees to their proposal maybe this appeal would not be necessary; • BCP is requesting a joint EIR - what would be the estimated cost for this? Response: There is currently a proposal to have a MND for the DWP property project at a cost of approximately $350,000 - and EIR for about $450,000 - to add the RESA project would add about another $100,000 to $150,000 - this would be a total of about $500,000 for an MND and environmental document and $600,000 for an EIR - it is not the size of the Page - 9 City Council 04/26/10 project that would determine which is the appropriate document it would be what are the impacts that are created. • See no need to do a joint environmental review. Antos moved, second by Shanks, to adopt the revised /amended Resolution No. 5995 entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE RIVERS END STAGING AREA AND SAN GABRIEL RIVER BIKEWAY ENHANCEMENT PLAN PROJECT AND MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM, APPROVING THE PROJECT AND INSTRUCTING STAFF TO FILE APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION WITH THE COUNTY OF ORANGE AYES: Antos, Levitt, Miller, Shanks, Sloan NOES: None Motion carried Shanks moved, second by Antos, to approve the River's End Staging Area and San Gabriel River Bikeway Enhancement Plan (SCH #2010021026) Project and Mitigation Monitoring Program.

Council and community suggestions: Install rain gauges to help determine the rain fall in certain areas; provide a list of projects complete with the costs, what priority it was listed at, and what affect it had to remediate the flooding concerns; how much money the City has received from the TOT for the storm drain projects; continue to lobby the legislators for funding; possible neighborhood matching funds program; and assessment to residents (float 30 year bond).
