AYES: Kredell, Laszlo, Seitz, Supple, Vanderstaay NOES: None Motion carried CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM Mayor Kredell declared the continued public hearing open to consider the Draft Land Use Component of the Local Coastal Program for the City of Seal Beach. The City Clerk reported that notices of the continued public hearing had been posted as required by law and that no communi- cations had been received either for or against the matter. The Associate Planner presented a brief review of the staff report presented at the March 9 meeting. Mayor Kredell 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. Mrs. Risner, 845 Driftwood Avenue, expressed her opposition to the Department of Water and Power property land use as stated in the Local Coastal Program, that the Council has taken action to approve the 70/30 land use concept only for the site and to date has not approved the Coastal Conservancy Restoration Plan. Mrs. Risner noted that the Draft L.C.P. referred to specific uses for the Department of Water and Power property and expressed concern with the city's ability to modify the Plan at a I I I 3-23-81 37.:r I future date if the L.C.P. is adopted as written. She referred to the anticipated cash flow to the city upon completion of the project as proposed, expenses to be incurred for maintenance and safety services, and suggested the proposed D.W.P. project receive extensive financial evaluation on a long range basis prior to approval. Mrs. Risner requested that all reference to the Coastal Conservancy Plan for restoration of the D.W.P. site be deleted from the L.C.P. Mr. Phil Lund, President of Surfside Ltd., expressed opposition, on behalf of the residents of Surfside Colony, to providing beach access to Surfside via Phillips Street, cited the danger of entrance off of Pacific Coast Highway, no traffic signal, lack of parking and restroom facilities, and noted the six acre parcel adjacent to Suffside Colony owned by the Navy and proposed for recreational use, is still a matter of negotiation. Mr. Lund explained that access is currently provided at Anderson Street where a traffic signal, parking and restroom facilities are available. Mr. Lund also spoke regarding private frontage property in Surfside, purchased by the Colony and owned by its residents. Mr. Lund objected to further restrictions being placed on the Colony and the ultimate imposition of access at Phillips Street as a condition of future Coastal Commission permit requests. The Planning Director explained that if the L.C.P. is adopted without the additional access to the beach, Surfside will be subject to the determination of the Coastal Commission to require the Phillips Street access at a future time and most likely as a condition of permit requests. Mr. Lund acknowledged that it would be acceptable if access to the west beach area was provided through the adjacent six acre Naval property if and when it is acquired. Mr. Gilkerson, member of the Local Coastal Program Committee, stated the Committee had discussed Surfside access at length, that present conditions would be virtually unchanged, and that Phillips Street would provide access for bicyclists and pedestrians and that no public parking is to be provided. Mr. Gilkerson also stated that should the adjacent Navy property be obtained no parking is foreseen and that access would continue for bicycle/pedestrian traffic only. It was suggested that the Phillips Street access be deleted from the Draft Local Coastal Program. The I I 3-23-81 3'f~ ...'l4:.... ..... Planning Director cautioneq that should the L.C.P. not address the State guidelines for all coastal property, the city would remain under Coastal Commission control 'for each and every project within the Coastal zone and reminded that the L.C.P. must be submitted by July 1st. Discussion continued. Mayor Kredell asked if the Phillips Street I access could be eliminated from the L.C.P. The Planning Director stated those policies relating to beach access in Surfs ide Colony by Phillips Street could be deleted, that parking, danger to pedestrian and bicycle crossings of Pacific Coast Highway could be pointed out to the Coastal Commission and that Phillips Street would be an inappropriate access for the public to the Surfside beach areas. RECESS Supple moved, second by Vanderstaay, to declare a brief recess at 9:15 p.m. AYES: Kredell, Laszlo, Seitz, Supple, Vanderstaay NOES: Motion carried None The meeting reconvened at 9:30 p.m. with Mayor Kredell calling the I meeting to order. Mr. Blackman, 421 Beryl Cove Way, spoke in opposition to the Local Coastal Program Policies referred to for the proposed development of the Department of Water and Power property in accordance with the Coastal Conservancy Plan. Mr. Blackman made specific reference to the proposed youth hostel, restaurants, convention center, and noted parking and police patrol as prime concerns. Mr. Blackman suggested the Council reconsider the original proposal for the property of forty- two single family residences with three acres of parkland. Mr. Milt Stein, 240 Corsair Way, expressed his opposition to the Department of Water and Power Restoration Plan as proposed. Mayor Kredell stated he did not feel the City should be locked into all aspects of the D.W.P. Plan as proposed. Mrs. Risner addressed the Council and I referred to page seventeen of the L.C.P. "D.W.P./Coastal Conservancy Plan" items "a" through "f" relating to specific uses for the site. Mr. Gilkerson responded that the last paragraph of Section 2.2.6 provided for flexibility and economic changes to make the Plan feasible. Councilman Seitz read the proposed amendment to Section 2-23-81 ~S I 2.2.6 providing for modification of the Plan provided: (a) minimum of 70% of site remains in open space; (b) maximum of 30% of site is devoted to development; and (c) the open space and developed areas on the site are as shown in Map 9. Councilman Laszlo pointed out that the amendment refers to an approved Plan which has not as yet been approved by the Council. Councilman Laszlo also made reference to the C.E.I.P. loan and conditions of acceptance, and questioned whether certain aspects of the Plan would be made a condition of obtaining the loan and questioned whether or not that would be acceptable to the Council. Mayor Kredell agreed that modifications may have to be made to the Plan as proposed and spoke in favor of the 70/30 usage. The Planning Director referred to the letter presented during the Redevelop- ment Agency meeting which raised the question as to the availability of federal funds for development of the site and stated that if Council felt development would not be feasible without the federal loan it may be to the city's best interest if no reference is made to development of the D.W.P. site in any specific way, explaining that the City retains the ultimate control and power of approval for any proposed development plan. Mayor Kredell stated he had talked to the Coastal Conservancy and they had verified what the subject letter had indicated regarding the C.E.I.P. loan, however they had stated there may be a possibility of an amendment that would allow funds for three different projects within the states, one being the D.W.P. Councilman Seitz referred to the specific description of the Conservancy Plan in the L.C.P. document, increased costs and questionable availability of financing and suggested that reference to the D.W.P. be deleted from the Draft Local Coastal Program and that a Specific Plan be prepared for the property. Mrs. Keefer, 369 Galleon Way, spoke in support of the reconnnendation made by Councilman Seitz. Mr. Rappaport, Harbor Way, questioned the availability of Federal funding for the project and recommended the development of the D.W.P. site be placed with a private developer.

Mr. Supple referred to the numerous specific references to the 70/30 land use ratio and urged that the Council retain flexibility for the D.W.P. development and inquired as to the legal I effect of the Coastal Plan over the city's zoning regulations. The City~ttorney responded that the city's zoning would be required to be consistent with the goals of the Coastal Plan. Councilman Supple stated it was his understanding that with the adoption of Resolution 3041 as amended, the 70/30 use of the site would then become condition with no remaining flexibility. 'The City Attorney affirmed Mr. Supple's statement. Councilman Supple expressed concern that litigation may occur should the strict 70/30 usage be approved. Councilman Supple moved to refer the proposed Resolution Number 3041 back to the Planning Commission to delete all reference to the Department of Water and Power project in the Draft Land Use Plan, including amendments thereto, and resubmit I the revised Draft Land Use Plan as amended to the Council for further consideration. Councilman Seitz seconded the motion. The Planning Director stated reference to the Department of Water and Power property with current zoning regulations would remain within the L.C.P., however reference to the €onservancy Plan could be deleted.
