ORDINANCE NUMBER 1146 - MORATORIUM - STATE LANDS PROPERTY - FIRST STREET/
PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY
Ordinance Number ll46 was presented to Council entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF
THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON CERTAIN
LAND USE APPROVALS AND PERMITS RELATED TO THAT PORTION OF THE CITY LYING
IN THE VICINITY OF PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY AND FIRST STREET AND DECLARING
THE URGENCY THEREOF." By unanimous consent, full reading of Ordinance
Number 1146 was waived. The Principal Planner stated that the proposed
mOratorium deals with the State Lands Commission 2.4 acre parcel located
I
at First Street and Pacific Coast Highway, and is zoned C-l, Service
Commercial. Mr. Antos stated that the City'S General Plan references
this site as a major entrance to the cODDDunity and further that the
Redevelopment Plan permits either commercial or public use, and briefly
reviewed past uses of this property. The Principal Planner reported
that pursuant to discussions with the City Attorney, it has been
6-13-83
determined that a moratorium on development of this site, pending
the preparation of a Specific Plan, would be in the City's best
interest for the following reasons: 1) the property is located at a
major entrance to the City and on a scenic highway; 2) the site lies
about ten feet below 'the finished grade of Pacific Coast Highway; 3)
land directly to the north of the site is a designated wetland that
must be protected; 4) the property is located at the entrance to the
Hellman Specific Plan area proposed for one thousand residences; 5)
all access to the site will be from Haynes Road, which ~il1 be
widened and improved into an arterial highway status; 6) west of the
site is a public fishing area with public access that must be main-
tained; 7) that these issues should be addressed through the Specific
Plan process permitting compatible development on the site; and 8)
without the moratorium, development could take place which would be
in conflict with the Specific Plan. The City Attorney explained the
applicability of the city's zoning regulations to State or private
development projects, noting the advantage of the Specific Plan where
land use would be more restrictive to allow the most appropriate use
of this site. The City Attorney clarified the basis for the forty-
five day term of the moratorium, after which a public hearing will
be held, a Specific Plan adopted or the moratorium extended up to a
maximum two-year period. The City Manager reported that the State
Lands Commission is currently negotiating with a lessee for a specific
use of this site, therefore staff felt that a moratorium would be in
the city's best interest until a determination is made of the appropriate
uses for that location. Risner moved, second by Vanderstaay, to adopt
Ordinance Number 1146 as presented.

Resolution Number 3279 was presented to Council entitled "A RESOLUTION
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA, INCREASING
RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL MONTHLY TRASH COLLECTION CHARGES." By
unanimous consent, full reading of Resolution Number 3279 was waived.
The Finance Director reported that as a result of recent Board of
Supervisors action to raise the trash transfer fees from $8.50 to
$13.25 effective July 1, 1983, it is appropriate for the City to
I
consider a respective increase in the City'S user rates in order to
recoup the additional expenses to the City of approximately $80,000.
Mr. Thomas reported that the City's new rates would be $7.50 per
month for a single family residential unit and $7.10 for each multi-
family unit. In addition, Mr. Thomas reported commercial bin rates
would range from $72.00 for once a week service to $117 for service
six times per week. The City Manager reported that pursuant to dis-
cussion during the budget workshop, the staff had met with Mr. Briggeman
of Seal Beach Disposal to discuss service levels of twice versus once
per week, comparing costs of the City of Los Alamitos and the Rossmoor
area, we well as the practice of depositing trash at the transfer III
stations or direct delivery to the dump site. Councilmember Risner,
stating she is a member of the County Solid Waste Management Board,
referred to testimony given to the Board by a representative of Mr.
Briggeman, that trash would not be deposited at the transfer stations
exclusively and that trips directly to the dump sites would become
6-13-83
I
more frequent with the increase of transfer station fees, which could
result in some cost saving to the City. The City Manager reported Mr.
Briggeman had stated he would be disposing all trash at the transfer
stations and that a report of the tonnage from Seal Beach had not as
yet been received from the disposal company. The Finance Di rector
clarified that the fifty-six percent increase was the transfer fee
only, not the overall rubbish collection rate. Mr. Briggeman addressed
the Council and verified that drop-off boxes are taken directly to the
dump site, which accounts for less than ten percent of the total trash
collection, and made reference to the length of time and cost of labor
to go directly to the landfill. Council discussed service levels of
once and twice per week, compared Rossmoor and Los Alamitos costs, as
well as the estimated tonnage figure. It was pointed out that one
cost saving factor to Seal Beach is that the refuse billing is done
by the City. Mr. Briggeman referred to a recent report from the County
of Orange addressing refuse collection and rate structure, and indicated
that once a week service could be provided for $6.40 per residence
versus the proposed $7.50 for twice weekly. Discussion continued.
It was the consensus of the Council to hold this item over pending a
report from the City Manager setting forth a cost comparison of once
or twice per week trash service and the actual tonnage figures for
Seal Beach trash collection.
RESOLUTION NUMBER 3280 - SKATEBOARDS AND WHEELED DEVICES ON SIDEWALKS
Resolution Number 3280 was presented to Council entitled "A RESOLUTION
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DESIGNATING SIDEWALKS ON
WHICH IT IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE SKATEBOARDS AND WHEELED DEVICES." By
unanimous consent, full reading of Resolution Number 3280 was waived.
Vanderstaay moved, second by Risner, to adopt Resolution Number 3280
as presented.

I AYES: Brownell, Grgas, Laszlo, Risner, Vanderstaay
NOES: None Motion carried
Mayor Grgas declared a brief recess at 8:40 p.m.; the meeting reconvened
at 8:53 with the Mayor calling the meeting to order.
STREET LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING DISTRICT
Mr. Roy Butler, Willdan Associates, presented an overview of the
6-13-83
Engineering Report prepared pursuant to City Council action of March
28, 1983 and as mofified by Council action at the May 16, 1983 workshop
session. Mr. Butler reviewed the zones which parcels within the City have
been divided, explained the assessment formulae for each of the four
assessment categories; 1) direct benefit street lighting; 2) general
benefit street lighting and maintenance; 3) park maintenance; and 4)
local street tree maintenance, noting the assessments have been spread
based upon the benefit received and in compliance with the 1972 Land-
scaping and Lighting Act. A member of the audience, Mr. Halldin, 635
Siver Shoals, spoke at length regarding the proposed assessment districts,
expressed opposition to the equity of the assessments in proportion
to benefit received, voiced objection to specifics of the Engineers
Report. suggested cable franchise fees be used to offset revenues lost
as a result of the winter storms, objected to funds expended for
consultants, recommending staff preparation of specialized reports,
recommended consideration of energy conservation measures, service
and personnel savings, and questioned the expertise of those providing
technical data to the city relating to the assessment districts.
Discussion continued regarding parkway trees, the number of trees on
a given parcel, tree replacement policies, and tree trimming schedules.
Councilmember Risner expressed her objection to the assessment for
local street tree maintenance and urged that it be deleted. Mr.
Butler stated that the rationale of the general benefit assessment for
street tree and park maintenance is that it provides an asthetic
benefit to citizens throughout the city. Mayor Grgas stated for the
record that the assessments would be paying the costs incurred for
specific services therefore relieving General Fund monies for capital
improvements that have been deferred, and referred to assessment under
the 1911 or 1915 Acts which would be more costly to the property
owner. A member of the audience expressed opposition to street tree
maintenance assessment and inquired as to the amount of assessment in
Zone 2. Mr. Butler reported that assessment of a single family
residential unit in Zone 2 would be $49.24 annually, with multi-family
residential based upon the number of dwelling units. Councilmember
Risner moved to consider the assessment categories in three stages,
I
I
I
6-13-83
direct benefit street lighting, general benefit street lighting and
landscaping and park maintenance, and local street tree maintenance.
There was no second to the motion. Discussion continued. Councilmember
Risner moved to eliminate the assessment for local street tree
I
maintenance for a total reduction of $60,100. There was no second
to the motion. Stating that the actual street tree maintenance cost
is unknown at this time, Councilmember Risner moved to subsidize
local street tree maintenance costs from the General Fund in the
amount of $30,000. Mayor Grgas seconded the motion for discussion.
Mr. Butler confirmed that the City Council has the option of making
changes to the proposed assessments at this time or at the time of
public hearing, noting that the notices mailed to the property owners
will contain the proposed assessment fi~ures approved at this meeting.
Councilmember Laszlo moved a substitute motion to waive further
reading and adopt Resolution Number 3281 entitled "A RESOLUTION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH APPROVING THE ENGINEER'S
"REPORT" FOR CERTAIN STREET LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE IN
I
A PROPOSED STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT WITHIN SAID CITY" as presented.
Councilmember Vanderstaay seconded the motion. Councilmember Risner
suggested that the third "Whereas" of Resolution Number 3281 be amended
to read "the City will only assess for direct cost recovery." The
City Attorney clarified that staff had removed all indirect costs
from the proposed assessments and recommended that the Resolution
wording remain as presented.
Vote on substitute motion to adopt Resolution Number 3281 as presented.
AYES:
Brownell, Grgas, Laszlo, Vanderstaay
NOES:

Motion carried
With regard to previous comments relating to the content of the
Engineer's Report, Mr. Butler stated he would like to meet with the
I

of the "1972 Act" have been addressed.
