PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDING GENERAL PLAN and ADOPTING HELLMAN SPECIFIC
PLAN
Mayor Laszlo declared the concurrent public hearing open to consider
amendments to the General' Plan and the Hellman Specific Plan, said
amendments bringing the City's General Plan into conformance with the
proposed Specific Plan and the Hellman Specific Plan would be the basic
plan approval for the one thousand unit development. The City Clerk
certified that notices had been mailed to residents adjacent to the
project site and published as required by law, that no communications
had been received either for or against the matter. The Planning
Director presented an indepth staff report setting forth the pTocedures
as required by law to adopt the proposed Specific Plan and to amend the
I
City's General Plan accordingly. Mr. Romaniello reviewed the environ-
mental findings as amended and adopted by the Environmental Quality
Control Board and the Planning Commission and presented the recommen-
dations of those bodies to the City Council. Mr. Romaniello explained
each of the amendments proposed to the Land Use Element, Open Space/
6-8-81 ~
I
Recreation/Conservation Element and the Circulation Element of the
General Plan, as set forth in the staff report. The Planning Director
reported comments had been received from the State Clearinghouse
regarding the Environmental Impact Report, and that those comments
along with the city's responses are incorporated as part of the E.I.R.
Councilmember Vanderstaay asked if there was any provision for develop-
ment of a golf course in conjunction with the project. The Planning
Director stated there had been no direction to request inclusion of a
golf course, however that would not exclude the possibility of a golf
facility in the area at a future time. Mayor Laszlo invited members
of the audience wishing to speak to this item to come to the microphone,
state their name and address for the record.
Mr. George Putnam, Senior Vice President of Ponderosa Homes, 2082
Business Center Drive, Irvine, provided an illustrated site plan of
the proposed project and explained the various areas designated thereon.
Mr. Putnam clarified the conceptual site plan is only for location
reference, that no specific development plans or maps have been
prepared at this time. Mr. Putnam responded to numerous questions
posed by Council, described the single family lots as being between
5,000 and 10,000 square feet, stated that the condominium square
footage would range from 700 to 1300 square feet, some elderly project
units may be as low as 400 square feet, described the spread of afford-
able units, required compliance with state law regulations for affordable
housing, funding of the elderly housing portion of the project, the
development procedures for grading and terracing specific areas, noting
the grade Change on the easterly portion of the project would be twenty-
five to thirty feet to a ten to twelve foot change at the westerly
portion of the project site near Pacific Coast Highway, explained the
necessity to construct no less than one thousand units, and discussed
the estimated time frame for the project. Mr. Putnam affirmed that
the grading of the south-easterly project site would not affect the
Marina Hill homes abutting the project, and reported the buffer zone
near Seal Beach Boulevard would be approximately sixty to eighty feet.
Mr. Putnam also stated a soil erosion plan will be prepared for the
project and that any structural failure of the grading and terracing
I
I
~ 6-8-81
or damage to homes abutting the bluff will be the responsibility of
the developer. CoUncil discussed criteria of the affordable units,
estimated costs, and requirements of state law for affordable housing
and distribution of those units within the project. Mr. Putnam
affirmed that Area Eight would be HUD funded, guaranteeing the loans
and establishing rental schedules for the duration of the loan,'that
Areas Six and Seven are expected to be marketable without HUD funds.
Council questioned the number of children estimated to be generated
from the project with Mr. Putnam reporting the School District had
provided the figures shown and explained that children would be
entering the system gradually during the extended period of project
development. Mr. Putnam was questioned as to whether a developer
ever allocates funds to a school district when the number of children
impacts the school system's capabilities, to which he responded, only
under state law whereby the district finds a deficiency exists in the
educational opportunities due to the additional student population.
Council asked if an alternative to HUD funding could be used. Mr.
Putnam stated Section 8 funds provide the only viable means of
providing the low income units. Concern was expressed regarding
upkeep and aesthetic maintenance of the low income development.
The City Attorney stated the Council can require any assurances for
development and maintenance of the project at the time subdivision
documents are considered. With regard to noise and safety provisions
for the condominium development adjacent to Seal Beach Boulevard, Mr.
Putnam stated the units would be lower than the noise generating level,
that a berm and/or wall may be constructed in that area and that the
developer must also meet all state regulations.
Mr. Richard Gunnarson, 965 Catalina, was duly sworn by the Clerk, and
stated he had not seen the amendments to the Plan subsequent to the
Environmental Quality Control Board and Planning Commission meetings,
stated he felt questions had been raised at those meetings which are
yet unanswered, expressed his objection to the densities proposed
for the project, suggested the local press should have provided more
publicity of the E.Q.C.B. and Planning Commission hearings, stated
alternatives with a financial analysis of each should have been

presented for consideration, objected to use of the wetlands area,
referred to the eighteen acre parksite as the only additional
dedication other than Gum Grove Park, the legal requirements for
dedication by population, questioned the number of school age children
anticipated, and the ability to provide an adequate level of safety
services. Mr. Gunnarson continued and referred to the legal require-
ments for development near an earthquake fault, questioned the mitigating
measures in the area of liquefaction, expressed concern that City
streets will be damaged due to truck transportation of heavy loads, and
suggested Council further investigate these concerns, and spoke for a
compatible development with the wetlands and wildlife remaining intact.
Gordon Shanks, 215 Surf Place, expressed concern with certain points
contained in the E.I.R., tax increment funding of safety services,
streets and maintenance of public areas. The City Attorney stated
maintenance is an allowable expenditure if based upon specific findings,
that police and fire personnel salaries are not a function of the
Redevelopment Agency except in rare cases where it has been shown
there was a direct affect on providing those services. Mr. Shanks
stated he did not feel the E.I.R. adequately addressed the liquefaction
problem, that this development was not the best plan for the city and
that the E.I.R. document was not complete. Mr. Doug Armfield, 1737
Crestview Avenue, stated he resides adjacent to the proposed Area Six
and opposed construction of condominium units within fifty feet of his
property, suggested they be placed elsewhere, and stated he felt the
plan was not in the best interest of the community. It was noted a
buffer zone is proposed between the Marina Hill properties and the
condominium complex. The City Attorney clarified the Specific Plan
only deals with location and density of the specific areas of the
proposed development. Dr. George Jeweler, 1709 Crestview Avenue,
expressed concern with removal of the Marina Hill bluff area and
potential problems in the event of heavy rainfall and requested a
concrete retainer be constructed. The Planning Director explained
that the Specific Plan is similar to a zoning document, that it does
not approve the development or provide specific criteria for walls,
slopes or engineering conditions. The City Attorney stated that
I
I
\. ~30 6-8-81
~ -fa ~
adoption of the Specific Plan commits development of the areas denoted
for specific use in the densities so designated and can be changed
only through the amendment process based on additional information
or specific findings. The Planning Director reported at least nine
,
development plans have been reviewed during the past two and one-half
I
years that have been found to be incompatible for that area based on
physical constraints of the property, city and state regulations and
marketability, and noted the densities proposed are approximately one
half that which is currently allowed in the city. Mr. Putnam again
addressed the Council noting the total number of dwelling units to
make a feasible project had been discussed with Council and the
Planning Commission during two study sessions, referred to concerns
expressed regarding soil slippage and reported no slope failures have
occurred since the 1970 grading standards became effective and
assured the Council this project would abide by the most stringent
of the grading codes. Mr. Putnam stated that in actuality the condo-
minium development will be approximately one hundred feet from the I
Marina Hill properties, and with regard to overload trucks on city
streets, he assured Council all city regulations will be met. Mr.
Putnam stated further that construction near the inactive earthquake
fault will be dealt with as required by law, reported citizens
attending the Planning Commission meeting had opposed any highrise
development adjacent to Seal Beach Boulevard, and stated that the
liquefaction problem is solvable and will be to the satisfaction of
the Gity prior to any development. Mr. Putnam again referred to the
two study sessions held with the Council and Commission, stating that
the proposed plan reflects concerns expressed at those sessions and
addresses the needs of the city. Mr. Armfield asked if it would be
his responsibility to obtain legal representation if problems should
arise from the grading and terracing. The City Attorney stated the
I
State of California Department of Real Estate would be the agency
responsible for handling legal complaints and if unsatisfied with
the determination, the property owner could then seek private counsel.
Mr. Gunnarson referred to the Coastal Commission jurisdiction of the
wetlands. Mr. Putnam responded that the wetlands issue would be
6-8-81
431
addressed when the project is submitted for Coastal Commission considera-
tion. There were no other oral communications, Mayor Laszlo declared the
public hearing closed.
The City Manager referred to the financial aspects of the proposed
I
project, noting funds to be generated to the Redevelopment Agency,
repayment of the Agency debt to the City, and the possible use of
some Agency funds for certain general fund purposes in the future.

PLAN
Resolution Number 3066 was presented to Council entitled "A RESOLUTION
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH MAKING CERTAIN
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS RELATING TO THE ADOPTION OF THE HELLMAN
SPECIFIC PLAN AND THE AMENDMENTS TO THE GENERAL PLAN RELATED THERETO."
By unanimous consent, full reading of Resolution Number 3066 was waived.
With reference to Resolution Number 3066, item 2, Councilman Seitz
suggested a provision requiring conversion of oil drilling apparatus to
electric units. The Planning Director stated item 2 deals specifically
I
with noise, that the developer has no authority over the OE designated
land and that a noise ordinance will be forthcoming for Council
consideration. Mr. Romaniello also suggested the Council may also
wish to review the current oil drilling regulations. Councilman Seitz
requested item 3 be amended to include the words "at builders expense",
that "a copy of the final geological report be available to each
purchaser" be added to item 4, "at the builders expense" be included
in item 5, that item 6 be amended to read..." the erection of fencing
around oil operations, the type height and materials of said fencing
to be determined by the City", and an item 8 be added to read "Developer
shall comply with all mitigating measures as identified in the EIR."
Council discussed their right to impose conditions prior to final
I
development approval and provisions for architectural design. The
City Attorney clarified that the Council can not impose requirements
on this development that would not be imposed on other developments
in the city, that architectural requirements could be imposed if they
related specifically to fire danger and affirmed that information
regarding environmental issues not addressed in the EIR under consideration
4'32- 6-8-81
could be requested at a later time. Seitz moved, second by Vanderstaay,
to adopt Resolution Number 3066 with amendments to items 3, 4, 5, 6
and new item 8.

de annexation of the Sunset Aquatic Park area. Mayor Laszlo referred to
page seven of the Element, suggested neighborhood parks be listed first,
that a sub-total of that acreage be included, and objected to designa-
tion of fifty-two acres of beach as a regional park. The Planning
I

specific uses for parcels 10 through 13, stating he felt it would be

adjacent to the development site and must be addressed as required by
State law, that areas 1 through 9 are proposed for development and
