BACKGROUND:
Submission of Application for Development Entitlements — Department of Water
and Power Property ( "Ocean Place "):
An application was filed on August 20, 2003 by Bay City Partners LLC, for development on
the DWP property, referred to by the application as "Ocean Place ". The application is for the
following matters:

❑ General Plan Open Space/Conservation /Recreation Element Amendment;

Staff has 30 days to review the application materials and determine if the application as filed is
complete. If it is not (a preliminary review indicates that all of the required submissions have
not been submitted) the City will prepare a letter indicating the necessary items to be
submitted for the application to be deemed complete. That information will be provided to the
project proponent for preparation of the additional required materials, and upon submission of
the appropriate items, an additional 30 -day review period will be initiated. This process will -

Consideration of Restructuring Committee Membership —
Department of Water and Power Specific Plan Advisory Committee
City Council Staff Report
September 22, 2003
During this 30- day time period, staff will also be reviewing the provisions of CEQA, the DWP
Specific Plan, the Riverfront Redevelopment Plan, the General Plan, and the Zoning
Ordinance to determine the necessary steps for the review and consideration of this project. A
detailed analysis of the various advisory committees (DWP Advisory Committee, Project
Area Committee, and Archaeological Advisory Committee), EQCB, Planning Commission,
and City Council reviews will be formulated during the 30 -day review period and presented to
the project applicants and the affected committees, boards, commissions and the City Council.
Overview of Advisory Committee Status:
As part of this application review process, it is apparent that the membership of the
Department of Water and Power Specific Plan Advisory Committee needs to be
restructured, as the two organizations that have members on the Committee, the San
Gabriel Parks Society and the Old Town Business Association, no longer exist. In
addition, the current member representing the San Gabriel Parks Society is now a
member of the Planning Commission, and has a conflict as he will be making
recommendations on the project applications, and cannot serve on the Committee
The Department of Water and Power Specific Plan Advisory Committee was established
in conformance with provisions of the Department of Water and Power Specific Plan,
initially adopted by the adoption of City Council Resolution No. 3228 on November 22,
1982. The adopted Specific Plan states in Section 4.i:
"4.i. A nine (9) member Advisory Committee shall be established to
provide citizen input and review of all matters relating to this
Specific Plan."
On January 10, 1983, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 3236, which amended
Section 4.i. of the Department of Water and Power Specific Plan to read:
"4.i. That a seven member Advisory Committee shall be established to
provide citizen input and review of the Specific Plan."
The City Council also adopted Resolution No. 3234 on January 10, 1983, which created a
seven member "Department of Water and Power Specific Plan Advisory Committee ",
consisting of the following membership:
❑ Five (5) members selected by the City Council from the respective districts;
❑ One (1) member of the San Gabriel Parks Society;
❑ One (1) member selected by the Old Town Business Association.
The current membership of the Committee is:
❑ Linda Devine District 1
❑ Allene Harding District 2
❑ Rita Strickroth District 3
DWP Comnuttee Consideration.CC Staff Report 2
Consideration of Restructuring Committee Membership —
Department of Water and Power Specific Plan Advisory Committee
City Council Staff Report
September 22, 2003 ,
❑ Delmar L. Smith District 4
❑ Harold Robertson District 5
❑ Gordon Shanks San Gabriel Parks Society
❑ John Baker Old Town Business Association
In discussions with Gordon Shanks, the current representative of the San Gabriel Parks
Society, he has indicated that the organization no longer exists. As Mr. Shanks is now a
member of the Planning Commission, he has a conflict, and cannot serve on the
Committee.
The Old Town Business Association is also non - existent, as it has merged with the Seal
Beach Chamber of Commerce.
Alternatives for Restructuring Committee membership:
Staff has two alternatives for the City Council to consider regarding the restructuring of
the Department of Water and Power Specific Plan Advisory Committee. They are
presented below.
❑ Alternative 1: Maintain 7 Member Committee
Under this alternative staff would suggest changing the organizational
members to the Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce and the Riverbeach
Homeowner's Association. The Riverbeach condominium project is directly
across Marina Drive from the proposed project location. Staff would
recommend that only one resident of the Riverbeach development be
appointed to the Committee.
A current member of the Committee, Rita Strickroth, is a resident of
Riverbeach and could be appointed to serve, or the City Council could request
the Homeowner's Association to make an appointment to the Committee. In
discussing this matter with Mrs. Strickroth she has indicated that the
Riverbeach Homeowners Association Board of Directors has previously
confirmed her representation on the Advisory Committee.
Staff would also recommend that the Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce be
requested to make an appointment to the Committee.
The Riverbeach Homeowner's Association and the Seal Beach Chamber of
Commerce should provide written notice of the selection of said
representative to the City Clerk
❑ Alternative 2: Restructure Committee to a Five Member Committee
Under this alternative staff would suggest changing the organizational
members to only include the City Council district representatives.
DWP Committee Consideration.CC Staff Report 3
Consideration of Restructuring Committee Membership —
Department of Water and Power Specific Plan Advisory Committee
City Council Staff Report
September 22, 2003
The City Council will need to adopt a resolution amending the make -up of the
Committee, as the existing Committee make -up was established by City Council
Resolution No. 3234. Staff has prepared a draft resolution for City Council
consideration. Please refer to Attachment 1 to review the proposed Resolution. Please
note that the resolution has alternate sections regarding the size of the Committee. The
City Council determination on this issue will result in the adoption of the resolution with
the appropriate Committee make -up.
This Committee has not held a meeting for several years, and the City Council may wish
to confirm their current appointments or make new appointments this evening.
Overview of Anticipated Public Review Process to Consider Project Applications:
As indicated above, the application is for the following matters:
❑ General Plan Land Use Amendment;
❑ General Plan Open Space/Conservation /Recreation Element Amendment;
❑ Zone Change from Specific Plan Regulation to Medium Density Residential;
❑ Repeal of the DWP Specific Plan;
❑ Tentative Tract Map for a proposed 39 lot subdivision; and
❑ Development Agreement.
These requests are all discretionary applications before the City, and must be reviewed
and considered in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and the planning law requirements of the State of California. Staff
has prepared an "Anticipated Public Review Process — Ocean Place Development"
timeline that is provided as Attachment 3 for the information of the City Council. The
indicated timeline is based on reasoned assumptions as to the time periods involved in
preparing the necessary environmental review document, staff reports, and other project
related documentation. At this point, the time schedule does not factor in time
allowances for any public neighborhood meetings or study sessions before the Planning
Commission or City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Minimal. Staff support costs would be reduced somewhat if the Committee membership
is reduced from 7 to 5 members. The primary reduction in costs would be for the
provision of agenda materials relating to meetings of the Committee.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider the restructuring of the Department of Water and Power Specific Plan Advisory
Committee. Adopt Resolution No. , A Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Seal Beach Restructuring the Membership of the Department of Water and Power
Specific Plan Advisory Committee.
