Mr. Nelson expressed his appreciation. l2-19-88 PRESENTATION - DRAFT GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN - SUNSET AQUATIC PARK Mr. Gregg Derr, Orange County Environmental Management Agency, expressed appreciation for the opportunity to present the Draft Development Plan, and introduced Ms. Kathy Sides, Senior Landscape Architect, County of Orange, and Mr. Barry Jesmer of the peridian Group, the firm that prepared the GDP and who would b~:ma~ing,~he presentation. A~ a I point of background he explained,.that the Park consists of a sixty-two acre parcel acquired by the County from the federal government for the development of an aquatic park to be accomplished in two phases, the first of which was completed in 1970 and consists of a two hundred seventy-six slip marina, a dry boat storage area, boat launching and trailer parking area, repair yard, and temporary harbor patrol command post, with.phase two of the development focused on the current planning efforts. He noted that general development plans have been prepared in the past however implementation, for various reasons, has not occurred, for instance, a previous Coastal Commission request that the plans be reevaluated and expansion reduced. Mr. Barry Jesmer, peridian Group, described entry into Sunset Aquatic Park via the bridge from the Huntington Beach side of Edinger, with first views of an unsightly boat yard and dredging spoils, noting this to be the major area that is proposed for development into recreation use. He explained that a number of issues were studied in conjunction with the General Development Plan preparation, some of which were the realignment of the channel to allow a natural flushing, that idea rejected due to the extreme costs involved, and the disposition of the dredged materials I which, under current EPA restrictions must be disposed of at approved offshore locations. Mr. Jesmer reported that extensive studies were conducted by the avian biologist that was retained in connection with the GDP preparation and towards their efforts to try to reestablish the abandoned nesting sites on the County's property of the California Least Tern and Light Footed Clapper RaIl, both of which are California and national endangered and protected species, the studies also representing the interests of the adjacent National Wildlife Refuge and the Naval Weapons Station. Mr. Jesmer stated that the main goal in developing the General Development Plan was in essence to develop the site with a proper mix of facilities for the residents of Orange County, and that the need for the facilities proposed has been shown through the shortfall in the number of boat slips, recreational vehicle camping spaces, dry boat storage and day launch facilities in the coastal areas. He noted other goals were to protect and enhance the wildlife habitat, mitigate impacts on adjacent uses such as the Wildlife Refuge and the residents along Edinger Avenue who will be affected by increased traffic from future development of the Park, and given the County's interest in generating revenue, concerns of the Park concessionaire were also taken into consideration. Given the need to improve and upgrade the appearance of the Park, he reported all plans include I landscaped buffering of the views to and from the Park as well as upgraded circulation to meet the parking and day use of the site. Mr. Jesmer stated there are similarities in all of the the plans proposed, and described the plan that represented all aspects of the potential development, which included a new entrance and identification sign, improved boat yard and boat storage with landscaped screening, ninety-eight overnight screened RV camping spaces, a campground store and operations center, a new open space, day use picnic area, and a nature interpretative center, 12-19-88 I noting that it has been determined that the wildlife area must be separated from human use in order to encourage the endangered species back. He reported that the existing administration building for the boat ramp would remain as it presently exists, the boat ramp parking would be increased, an addition of sixty-five boat slips, noting that an initial plan had proposed more slips that would have been incorporated on both sides of the channel, a new Harbor Master Station including docks and a pumpout station, and a new launch facility for small boating craft. Mr. Jesmer reported the differences in the three plans are in the amount of dry boat storage and the recreational camping facilities, stating the designated Plan IIBII, which is based upon the Draft plan, is the proposal that the staff and their firm feels is the best compromise to furnish the needed recreational facilities. He confirmed that at present there is no overnight camping at the Park. In response to the Council, Chief Stearns explained that by contract the water areas of Sunset Aquatic Park are patrolled by the Orange County Harbor Patrol, with the City's units patrolling the dry land areas, including the parking lots, and respond to requests for services by the Harbor Patrol, as in the case of arrests, adding that Aquatic Park is a regular assigned area, usually patrolled once or twice per shift. He noted that Huntington Beach also responds in the case of emergencies until such time as Seal Beach units arrive, and clarified that reference to incidents of homocide in recent years have in fact been incidents that have occurred in open waters and transported to the Aquatic park, in which case Seal Beach would assume jurisdictional responsibility for such investigations. In response to questions of the Council, Mr. Jesmer stated that in years past the dredged materials were allowed to be placed in their present location most likely from an efficiency standpoint and the fact that there was then no development, also that the additional boat slips will require some dredging of the harbor, the dredged material then transported to an approved offshore area, subject to Coastal Commission, City and County approvals, and acknowledged that any construction at the Park will necessitate obtaining permits from the City of Seal Beach. Councilman Laszlo noted that in order to enter the Park one must travel through the jurisdiction of Huntington Beach, inquired as to the number of residents in the Park, and further, if the Park, owned by the County of Orange and located in the City of Seal Beach would be required to comply with the City's zoning and building ordinances. Mr. Jesmer stated the Park is presently zoned public open space, the City's Local Coastal Plan and General Plan allowing the proposed use, and that any construction would require City plan check and approvals. The City Attorney advised that provisions of the Government Code address the powers a City has over other governmental agencies and vary depending upon what agency is involved and the use proposed for a property. He offered to research and report back to the Council whether or not the City's zoning regulations would apply to this type of County facility. Again in response to Council, Mr. Jesmer stated the Harbors, Beaches and Parks Commission has approval authority over boat dock rates, and that he believed the launch ramps are available to sailing as well as motorized water craft. Mr. Derr reported there was a recently completed contract for dredging the channels in this area, and Mr. Jesmer noted that the cost to the County to transport the dredged materials to approved seaward sites will be much more costly than if they were able to dispose of the materials lands ide. Councilman Laszlo stated he has often wondered why the City does not deannex the Sunset Aquatic Park and turn it over to the County, for reasons of I I 12-19-88 access if nothing else, and noted his preference for the proposed Plan IIBII. Mr. Jesmer responded that at one time there was a plan to extend Edinger across the channel and connect to Pacific Coast Highway which would then provide direct access to and from the Park. Mr. Derr did clarify that the Draft General Development Plan was presented as part of the public review process and that any comments will then be transmitted to the Harbors, Beaches and Parks Commission, therefore some action or recommendation from the City would be in order. Councilman Grgas suggested that this item be held over until Councilmember Risner, who is also a member of the Harbors, Beaches and Parks Commission, is present to comment on the Plan. The City Manager stated this item would be rescheduled as an action item on a future agenda. I PUBLIC HEARING - ALARM SYSTEMS / FEES Mayor Hunt declared the public hearing open to consider amending Chapter 2A of the Code of the City of Seal Beach relating to alarm systems.

AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Grgas, Hunt, Laszlo, Wilson None Risner Motion carried I AD HOC TRAFFIC IMPACT COMMITTEE REPORTS Councilman Grgas recalled the Council esta~lishing the Ad Boc Traffic Impact Committee with the intent that guildelines and/or language be formulated and transmitted to the Council to adopt by ordinance or submitted for voter approval concerning mitigation of future traffic impacts in the City of Seal Beach. He noted that the reports from the Committee basically reflect accomplishment of that goal with the exception of the question as to what level the 'City can mitigate traffic beyond the prorata share of a project, one viewpoint being to mitigate traffic to no less than level of service oDD, the other being to require an applicant/ developer to improve traffic beyond the pro rata share. Mr. Grgas compared Seal Beach Measure OF" with the identical San Clemente Measure "EII which through legal challenge the court has determined to be unconstitutional, and asked what affect that would have upon determining standards for Seal Beach. The City Attorney responded it is uncertain what direction the courts will ultimately take, that an appellate court decision will most likely be necessary before it is known 12-19-88 what the guildelines will be, also confusing this area of law has been the Nolan decision and the passage of AB 16oo which imposes restrictions on exactions that can be imposed upon a development project. He noted that in the San Clemente case the court focused.on the issue of requiring a development to improve traffic circulation to a specified level, and in that instance the court felt that would require future development to pay for past deficiences thus I struck down the measure. Mr. Stepanicich stated he felt this is an area that poses a potential liability, that adoption of any specific objectives on behalf of the City should be carefully worded, and that by using different language there may be ways of attaining the same result. He reported initial research has been done, and upon direction of the Council a report could be prepared with an analysis of this issue. Councilman Grgas moved to direct the City Attorney's office to review and analyze the objectives and standards submitted by the Ad Hoc Taffic Impact Committee, giving particular attention to the issue regarding level of service, and to offer an opinion as to what could be included in an ordinance and how that ordinance would be formed for consideration. Councilmember Wilson seconded the motion. Mayor Hunt commended the members of the Committee for mutually attaining their goals with only one exception. Councilman Laszlo inquired if the City is obligated to approve zone changes. The City Attorney responded that in most cases the Council has tremendous discretion in deciding whether or not to approve a zone change and as an example, the City could seek a development agreement as a condition of a zone change and if there were no such agreement could withhold approval of the zone change. He noted the exception would be if there was no longer an economic use of I a property, the City would then be required as a matter of law to approve some type of zone change that would give the property owner some reasonable use, however if under existing-zoning the property owner has a viable economic use then the Council would not have an obligation to change the zoning. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Grgas, Hunt, Laszlo, Wilson . None Risner Motion carried PRELIMINARY BUDGET WORKS BOP The City Manager requested that the Council consider scheduling a preliminary budget workshop to discuss priorities and matters of immediate concern to the City Council in preparation of the 1989/90 budget_and prior to the completion of proposed budgets by the individual departments, and noted particular concern of staff with the minimum increase in revenues to date as compared to the percentage increase of expenditures to continue existing services. The Council voiced no objection to holding a preliminary budget workshop on Monday, January 30th at 6:00 ..p.m. REQUEST - RUBY'S ~ PIER SIGNAGE I Councilman Grgas noted the request from Ruby's fo~ consideration of the placement of a sign at the entrance to the pier, suggesting something similiar to that in Santa Monica" highlighting the pier location as well as the existance of the restaurant and sportsfishing facilities at the end of the pier. Mr. ~rgas requested that this item be held over until all members of the Council are present and the community has an opportunity to comment on the request. Members of the Council suggested that the news media could publicize the request for community information. I'" ; ,. 12-19-88 1 CITY COUNCIL ITEMS Councilman Grgas requested a report from staff with regard to the fund raising efforts of the Junior Womens Club to benefit Eisenhower Park to include the amount of money raised, expenditures to date, forecast of future costs and the responsibilities for sharing those costs for easterly and westerly park areas, and an anticipated time frame for the improvements. The City Manager reported approximately $23,000 remaining in the Eisenhower Park fund less the amount approved for payment this date, the amount anticipated to be adequate to complete the east park however additional donations will be needed to commence improvements to the west park. The City Engineer added that improvements to the ea~t park are-completed with the exception of the plant materials, the Junior Womens Club having obtained some donated one and two gallon plant materials to date, and that the remaining landscape materials will be purchased from the balance-of funds. Councilman Laszlo reported he had attended a meeting at the Armed Forces Reserve Center with representatives from the Rossmoor Homeowners Association, the City Council's of Los Alamitos, Westminster, and Cypress, and a representative for Congressman-elect Dana Rohrabacher, the purpose of the meeting to discuss the airport situation at the Center in light of the upcoming proposed closure of approximately twenty-five bases . nationwide. He stated that many knowledgable persons of authority have advised that the Armed Forces Reserve Center will not be on the closure list, including Congressman Lungren's office, also that the concerns of the cities in the area were passed on to Congressman-elect Rohrabacker with a request that he stay abreast of anything that may be forthcoming. Mr. 'Laszlo noted that should the Base be on the closure list it would require a more concerted, formal organization and action. Councilman Laszlo also commended the City Engineer on the recent Lampson Avenue improvement project and the addition of new street signs. The City Manager announced that the rebroadcast of this meeting will take place on December 26th at 5:00 p.m. rather than Christmas Eve, December 24th. I 1 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Hunt declared Oral Communications open. Mr. Galen Ambrose, 613 Seabreeze Avenue, inquired as to the accuracy of information he had received that not only does Mola Development have an option on the lower portion of the Hellman property, but a Lincoln Development Company also has an option on the northerly portion of the site, and asked if that would need to be reflected in the Mola Specific Plan. The City Manager 'responded that he had no direct information regarding another option on the Bellman land, noting however that at one time he understood there were discussions of Lincoln Development working with Mola in,~ joint development proposal. The City Attorney explained that the Specific Plan would apply to whomever the developer of the property may be and would not reflect a specific developer. The City Manager added that a Specific Plan is a designation of land uses, that the property owner and the developer are not relevant to the zoning on a property. Mr. Ambrose made reference to the communication received from the National Fish and,W~ldlife Service that indicated somewhere between twenty-five-and one hundred forty acres of wetlands could possibly be restored on the Hellman site, also to a historical book he had obtained on Newport Beach and the efforts of Frank and Fran Robinson who were instrumental in the Newport Back Bay restoration. Mr. Ambrose stated the Hellman Ranch property could be used for mitigation of other developments as well as a source of funds for such mitigation, also that the Port of Long Beach has again assured their group that they would still be interested in the Hellman property. Councilmember Wilson asked if a developer would be allowed to subcontract a portion of a 12-19-88 I 1-3-89 development, and the City Manager advised that once the zoning is in place on a property, the property owner, developer, lessee or whomever can file for the permits to develop the property consistent with the zoning. Councilman Laszlo then asked if the Council could regulate who actually does the development. ~he City Attorney responded that.if the City or Agency owns the property that could be the case, however if the property is privately owned it is not a land I use issue and the City can not decide who will be the developer, the only requirement would be that the developer comply with regulations imposed by the City, additionally the City can set forth bonding requirements to insure that the project is completed. Ms. Marilyn Hastings, 121 - 12th Street, inquired if the Council had met to establish guidelines for the Hellman property development as had been requested by Mr. Mola at the last meeting. Mayor Hunt . advised that the Council has not met since December 5th and that at the meeting of January 3rd it is the intent that members of the Council will make their individual statements as to what their objectives and views are with'regard to gevelopment of the Hellman property.
