Section 1.0 Introduction

1.1 Overview of the Final SEIR
The City of Huntington Beach (City) has prepared this Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (Final SEIR) for the 2021-2029 HEU Implementation Program (Project) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and State CEQA Guidelines. Before approving a project, CEQA requires that the Lead Agency (i.e., City of Huntington Beach [City]) prepare and certify a Final EIR. Section 15132 of the State CEQA Guidelines, Contents of Final Environmental Impact Report, indicates that the contents of a Final EIR shall consist of the following:
(a) The draft EIR or a revision of the draft;
(b) Comments and recommendations received on the draft EIR either verbatim or in summary; (c) A list of persons, organizations, and public agencies commenting on the draft EIR; (d) The responses of the Lead Agency to significant environmental points raised in the review and consultation process; and
(e) Any other information added by the Lead Agency.

The Final SEIR will be considered by the City of Huntington Beach City Council in determining whether to certify the EIR and approve the proposed Project.

1.2 Organization of the Final SEIR
This Final SEIR contains the requisite components required under State CEQA Guidelines §15132 and is organized as follows:

Final SEIR Section 1.0: Introduction. This section introduces the Final SEIR, including the CEQA requirements and document organization, and summarizes the CEQA process activities to date. • Final SEIR Section 2.0: Comments and Responses . This section provides a list of persons, organizations, and public agencies commenting on the Draft SEIR. It also provides a copy of each written comment received on the Draft SEIR, and the City’s responses to significant environmental points raised in the comment.
• Final SEIR Section 3.0: Errata to the Draft SEIR. This section details changes to the Draft SEIR text intended to clarify or correct information.

1.3 Summary of the CEQA Process
On August 4, 2021, the City circulated a Notice of Preparation (NOP) to various federal, State, regional and local government agencies, and other interested parties. The NOP informed them that an SEIR was being prepared and invited comments on the SEIR’s scope and content, and their participation at a public scoping meeting held August 19, 2021; see Draft SEIR Appendix A: Notice of Preparation and Scoping City of Huntington Beach
2021-2029 HEU Implementation Program Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report

September 2022 1.0 | Introduction

1.0-2
Meeting Materials. The NOP was circulated through September 7, 2021, in compliance with the CEQA- required 30-day circulation period.

In accordance with State CEQA Guidelines §§15087 and 15105, the Draft SEIR was released to the public on June 29, 2022, for a 45-day review period ending on August 15, 2022. During the review period, the Draft SEIR was made available for review and comment to the public, responsible and trustee agencies, and interested groups and organizations. The Draft SEIR was also made available directly to State agencies through the State of California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, State Clearinghouse and Planning Unit. Copies of the Draft SEIR were made available for review at the following locations:
http://www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/government/departments/planning/major/; https://www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/government/departments/planning/environmental- reports/;
https://www.huntingtonbeachca.gov/housing-element-update/; Central Library, 7111 Talbert Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA 92648; and City of Huntington Beach, Planning Division, 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 In Fall of 2022, the City of Huntington Beach City Council will consider the F inal SEIR, inclusive of the Draft SEIR, comments and recommendations received on the Draft SEIR , and responses to those comments, when determining whether to certify the SEIR and approve the 2021-2029 HEU Implementation Program Project.

1.4 Changes to the Draft SEIR
As previously stated, Final SEIR Section 3.0 details the changes to the Draft SEIR. In response to public comments, text changes have been made to the Draft SEIR to clarify and amplify the analysis or mitigation measures, and to make insignificant modifications to the Draft SEIR.

State CEQA Guidelines §15088.5 discusses the conditions that warrant recirculation prior to certification, stating in part:
“(a) A lead agency is required to recirculate an EIR when significant new information is added to the EIR after public notice is given of the availability of the draft EIR for public review under Section 15087 but before certification. As used in this section, the term "information" can include changes in the project or environmental setting as well as additional data or other information. New information added to an EIR is not "significant" unless the EIR is changed in a way that deprives the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment upon a substantial adverse environmental effect of the project or a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect (including a feasible project alternative) that the project's proponents have declined to implement. “Significant new information” requiring recirculation include, for example, a disclosure showing that:

City of Huntington Beach
2021-2029 HEU Implementation Program Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report

September 2022 1.0 | Introduction

1.0-3
(1) A new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented.
(2) A substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless mitigation measures are adopted that reduce the impact to a level of insignificance.
(3) A feasible project alternative or mitigation measure considerably different from others previously analyzed would clearly lessen the environmental impacts of the project, but the project’s proponents decline to apply it. (4) The draft EIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were preclud ed (Mountain Lion Coalition v. Fish and Game Com. (1989) 214 Cal.App.3d 1043). (b) Recirculation is not required where the new information added to the EIR merely clarifies or amplifies or makes insignificant modifications in an adequate EIR.” The information presented in Final S EIR Section 3.0 does not rise to the level of significant new information as the resulting impact analysis and alternatives considered remain essentially unchanged, and no new or more severe impacts have been identified. These changes do not warrant Draft SEIR recirculation pursuant to California Public Resources Code §21092.1 and State CEQA Guidelines §15088.5.

As discussed herein and as elaborated upon in the respective Response to Comments, none of the clarifications or changes made in the Errata reflect a new significant environmental impact, a “substantial increase” in the severity of an environmental impact for which mitigation is not proposed, or a new feasible alternative or mitigation measure that would clearly lessen significant environmental impacts but is not adopted, nor do the Errata reflect a “fundamentally flawed” or “conclusory” Draft SEIR. In all cases, as discussed in individual responses to comments and in the Errata to the Draft S EIR, these minor clarifications and modifications do not identify new or substantially more severe environmental impacts that the City has not committed to mitigate. As such, the public has not been deprived of a meaningful opportunity to comment upon a substantial adverse environmental effect of the Project or an unadopted feasible Project alternative or mitigation measure. Instead, the information added supports the existing analysis and conclusions, and responds to inquiries made from commenters. Therefore, this Final SEIR is not subject to recirculation prior to certification.

Responses to Comment Letter B – California Department of Transportation, Caltrans Scott Shelley, Branch Chief - Regional-IGR-Transit Planning B-1 This comment is introductory and summarizes the main Project components. This comment does not address the adequacy or completeness of the Draft SEIR; does not raise environmental issues; and does not request the incorpora tion of additional information relevant to environmental issues. Such comments do not require a response pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15088(a).

No further response is necessary.

B-2 This comment summarizes Caltrans’ mission and correctly notes that C altrans is a responsible agency on the project. This comment does not address the adequacy or completeness of the Draft SEIR; does not raise environmental issues; and does not request the incorporation of additional information relevant to environmental issues. Such comments do not require a response pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15088(a). No further response is necessary.

B-3 This comment requests that the City consider accounting for off-street parking and alley space or similar areas to reduce the n eed for on-street parking as the Housing Element Update (HEU) is implemented.

B-4 This comment requests that as the HEU is implemented, the City ensure the width of parking lanes are wide enough for freight trucks without encroaching into bicycle lanes or street lanes if truck parking for home deliveries is provided on the street.

B-5 This comments requests that the City consider designating on -street freight-only parking and delivery time windows to reduce the need for double parking and prevent traffic congestion.

B-6 This comments requests that the City consider implementing shared drop -off locations for deliveries and automated parcel systems in future projects implemented under the HEU to reduce the amount of driving done by delivery trucks and to increase efficiency of deliveries.

B-7 This comments requests that the City provide posted speed signs for truckers to follow in areas proposed for increased housing opportunities.

This comment does not address the adequacy or completeness of the Draft SEIR; does not raise environmental issues; and does not request the incorporation of additional information relevant to environmental issues. Although such comments do not require a response, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15088(a), the City will post speed limitations, including speed limitations for trucks (as necessary and where necessary) in areas where future projects are implemented under the HEU. This comment will be forwarded to City decision -makers for their review and consideration. No further response is necessary.

B-8 This comments requests that the City consider accommodating cargo bikes (such as those needed for food delivery services) as part of bicycle parking designs for future projects implemented under the HEU to reduce delivery trucks and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

B-9 This comment notes that Caltrans recognizes their responsibility to assist communities of color and under-served communities by removing barriers to provide an equitable transportation.

B-10 This comment notes that Caltrans embraces racial equity, inclusion, and diversity and requests that the City consider including a discussion on equity in the document.

September 2022 2.0 | Comments and Responses

2.0-13
CEQA Guidelines § 15088(a), it is noted that a robust discussion of equity in relation to the distribution of housing (in particular affordable housing) is included in HEU Section 2, which is the land use document (i.e., the “project”) that serves as the basis for the environmental analysis in the Draft SEIR. No further response is necessary.

B-11 This comment notes there is a bicycle gap east of Ellis Avenue and Beach Boulevard and requests that the City consider closing this gap as future housing development occurs along this corridor.

The comment notes that closing this gap woul d reduce dependency on single-occupant vehicle trips and would improve accessibility.

This comment does not address the adequacy or completeness of the Draft SEIR; does not raise environmental issues; and does not request the incorporation of additional information relevant to environmental issues. Although such comments do not require a response pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15088(a), the City will continue to implement bicycle lane improvements in this area in accordance with the Circulation Element of General Plan (which identifies bicycle lanes in areas east of Ellis Avenue and Beach Boulevard) and with the shared goal of Caltrans to reduced dependency on single-occupant vehicle trips and improved accessibility. No further respo nse is necessary.

B-12 This comment notes that including CalEnvi roScreen percentiles for certain population characteristics would provide more context in the existing environmental setting in Draft SEIR Section 5.10.3.

Information outlined in this comment, including a discussion of CalEnviroScreen percentiles and mapped results, is provided in HEU Section 2, which is the land use document (i.e., the “project”) that serves as the basis for the environmental analysis in the Draft SEIR. As outlined in this section of the HEU, the City will continue to implement inclusionary housing policies to facilitate the production of affordable housing to successfully create mixed -income communities in areas throughout the City. No changes to Draft SEIR Section 5.10.3 are necessary given the inclusion of this information in the HEU and given that the inclusion of such data would not result in changes to the environmental analysis with respect to Population and Housing.

B-13 This comment notes that Census tracts southwest of the Warner Avenue and Beach Boulevard intersection are designated as SB 535 Disadvantaged Communities and would be eligible for investment from the State’s Cap-and-Trade Program for programs that improve health, quality of life, and economic opportunities. The comment notes that including this information in the SEIR would demonstrate efforts of addressing equity in implementing affordable housing.

The inclusion of this information would not result in changes to the analysis or conclusion in the Draft SEIR with respect to Population and Housing and would not be appropriate in the context of Population and Housing impacts, as SB 535 aims to provide funding for projects that would improve public health, quality of life, and provide economic opportunities. For these reasons, the SEIR has not been amended to include a discussion on SB 535. In addition, the draft HEU identifies these census tracts for programs to reduce health risk/burden factors and improve quality of life through neighborhood enhancements and infrastructure improvements funded through State City of Huntington Beach

initiatives such as Safe Routes to School. This comment will be forwarded to City decision-makers for their review and consideration.

B-14 This comment notes that any project work in the vicinity of the State right-of-way would require an encroachment permit and all environmental concerns must be adequately addresse d. The comment provides additional resources regarding encroachment permits and requests that the City meet with Caltrans for any work within or near the State right-of-way.

This comment does not address the adequacy or completeness of the Draft SEIR; does not raise environmental issues; and does not request the incorporation of additional information relevant to environmental issues. Although such comments do not require a response pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15088(a), the City will coordinate with Caltrans on any future plans affecting State rights-of-way. The City will continue to inform project applicants of Caltrans requirements to obtain encroachment permits for work proposed within or adjacent to the State right-of-way.

This comment will be forwarded to City decision-makers for their review and consideration. No further response is necessary.

B-15 This comment provides contact information for the project coordinator at Caltrans should the City have any questions regarding this comment letter and for future reference regarding additional agency-to-agency coordination.

C-1 This comment notes that while none of the candidate housing sites are on a list of hazardous materials sites, the OC Health Care Agency representatives listed in this letter should be contacted if previously unknown contamination or underground storage tanks are encountered during site development.

This comment does not address the adequacy or completeness of the Draft Subsequent SEIR; does not raise environmental issues; and does not request the incorporation of additional information relevant to environmental issues. Such comments do not require a response pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15088(a). No further response is necessary.

C-2 This comment notes that rezoning is planned for some of the candidate housing sites. The comment also notes that No Further Action letters were issued for previous cleanup cases based on the site uses at the time of the No Further Action determination. The commenter notes that a change in the use may nullify the letters for these sites and additional evaluation may be required.

The comment goes on to provide resources where a complete listing of current and historic cleanup cases can be found.

This comment does not address the adequacy or completeness of the Draft SEIR; does not raise environmental issues; and does not request the incorporation of additional information relevant to environmental issues. Although such comments do not require a response pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15088(a), it is noted that implementation of GPU PEIR MM 4.7 -2 and 4.7 -3 would ensure that impacts related to soil contamination and hazards are addressed by the applicant and the appropriate oversight agency is consulted at the time residential p rojects are proposed. No further response is necessary.

Dan Weerasekera, Hazardous Materials Specialist
D-1 This comment is introductory and does not address the adequacy or completeness of the Draft SEIR; does not raise environmental issues; and does not request the incorporation of additional information relevant to environmental issues. Such comments do not require a response pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15088(a). No further response is necessary.

D-2 This comment summarizes the role of the Orange County Health Care Agency (OC Health Care Agency) and does not address the adequacy or completeness of the Draft Subsequent SEIR; does not raise environmental issues; and does not request the incorporation of additional information relevant to environmental issues. Such comments do not require a response pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15088(a). No further response is necessary.

D-3 This comment notes that some of the proposed candidate housing sites identified in the Draft SEIR are outside the landfill boundary, but are within approximately 1,000 feet of the former Gothard Street Landfill and the City of Hunt ington Beach Landfill, both of which the OC Health Care Agency oversees. This comment also provides information on the landfills, including the total landfill area, the types of waste disposed of at the landfill, and the date of the landfill closure.

This comment does not address the adequacy or completeness of the Draft SEIR; does not raise environmental issues; and does not request the incorporation of additional information relevant to environmental issues pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15088(a). This comment will be forwarded to City decision -makers for their review and consideration. No further response is necessary.

D-4 This comments notes that Draft SEIR Appendix E notes the presence of these two landfills, but incorrectly and inconsistently lists the status of the landfill sites. The comment also correctly notes that Draft SEIR Appendix E states that the presence of these landfills do not affect the candidate housing sites because they are not proposed on the landfill parcels and does not raise an environmental issue with this statement . The comment concludes by noting that Draft SEIR Section 5.6.2: Existing Regulatory Setting and Draft SEIR Section 5.6.9: References fail to identify CalRecycle Solid Waste Information System (SWIS) SWIS database review with SWIS numbers listed for the two land disposal sites.

See Final SEIR Section 3.0: Errata for updates to Draft SEIR Sections 5.6.3 and 5.6.9, and Draft SEIR Appendix E. It is assumed that where the commenter referred to Draft SEIR Section 5.6.2, they intended to refer to Draft SEIR Section 5.6.3: Existing Environmental Setting.

Regarding the Gothard Street Landfill, the SWIS finds that there are no areas of concern or violations based on quarterly inspections completed.1 The State Geotracker website indicates that the site is an open – closed with monitoring case, as the landfill is closed but ongoing monitoring

events occur. Currently the site is undergoing a post-closure land use change (PCLUCP) with recent OC Waste and Recycling (OCWR) correspondence.2 In 2013, OCWR applied for the landfill to be covered under the general wast e discharge requirements (WDRs) for closed, abandoned , and inactive landfills, Order No. R8-2013-0010. The PCLUCP is intended to provide a description of the project related to changes that are relevant to regulatory agencies, including CalRecycle, OC Health Care Agency (OCHCA), which is the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA), the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (SARWQCB), and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), for understanding the scope of the PCLUCP and site specific modific ations taken to protect the environment and public health. The PCLUP also serves as an amended Report of Waste Discharge for a land use change, in compliance with SARWQCB Order No. R8-2013-0010.

D-5 This comment opines that future residential housing projects within 1,000 feet of the landfill boundary should consider installing landfill gas monitoring protection systems and/or structural monitoring to ensure landfill gas buildup, if any, will not cause adverse impacts t o the public health or safety and the environment.

As outlined in Draft SEIR Section 5.6 : Hazards and Hazardous Materials , all future housing development subject to rezoning and within overlay zones would be subject to compliance with GPU PEIR MM 4.7 -1, wh ich would require future housing developments to comply with Huntington Beach Fire Department City Specification No. 429, Methane Mitigation Requirements.

Among other requirements, City Specification and GPU PEIR MM 4.7-1 require that project-level applicants develop a plan to test soils for the presence of methane and submit the plan to the Huntington Beach Fire Department for review and approval. If significant levels of methane gas are discovered in the soil on a future development site, the project -level applicant’s grading, building, and methane plans shall reference that a sub-slab methane barrier and vent system will be installed at the site per City Specification No. 429, prior to plan approval. If required by the Huntington Beach Fire Department, additional methane mitigation measures to reduce the level of methane gas to acceptable levels shall be implemented. Following compliance with this mitigation measure, impacts associated with methane gas emissions from these landfills and/or other potential contaminants on future candidate housing sites, would be reduced to a less than significant level.

E-1 This comment thanks the City for the opportunity to review the Draft SEIR and communicates that questions and comments on the Draft SEIR follow. This comment does not address the adequacy or completeness of the Draft SEIR; does not raise environmental issues; and does not request the incorporation of additional information relevant to environmental issues. Such comments do not require a response pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15088(a). No further response is needed.

E-2 This comment asks if “CEQA Project” is a defined term in the Draft SEIR and does not address the adequacy of the environmental analysis or raise an environmental issue.

The CEQA Project is described in detail and defined throughout Draft SEIR Section 3.0: Project Description. Specifically refer to Draft SEIR Section 3.6: Housing Element Update - CEQA Project, for a definition of the CEQA Project and a description of the Project analyzed throughout the Draft SEIR.

For clarity, State CEQA Guidelines §15378: Project, states the following concerning a project under CEQA:
a) “Project” means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and that is any of the following:
1) An activity directly undertaken by any public agency including but not limited to public works construction and related activities clearing or grading of land, improvements to existing public structures, enactment and a mendment of zoning ordinances, and the adoption and amendment of local General Plans or elements thereof pursuant to Government Code Sections 65100–65700.
2) An activity undertaken by a person which is supported in whole or in part through public agency contacts, grants, subsidies, loans, or other forms of assistance from one or more public agencies.
3) An activity involving the issuance to a person of a lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use by one or more public agencies.

Therefore, “CEQA Project ,” as used in the Draft SEIR and pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15378, is interchangeable with “Project under CEQA” and includes all proposed Project activities that by their nature are c apable of causing a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical impact on the environment.

E-3 This comment requests that the SEIR include appeal procedures if residents need to appeal ministerial approvals of the housing development.

September 2022 2.0 | Comments and Responses

2.0-34
State CEQA Guidelines §15088(a), it is noted that future projects requiring discretionary action would be subject to appeal procedures in effect at the time action is taken on the project. The appeal period and procedures for filing an appeal would be disclosed at the time a decision is made on the project and in the Notice of Action for the project. M inisterial permits are not discretionary and, as such, action is not taken during a public meeting and no written notice of action is required. However, Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) Chapter 248 provides for appeals of a decision, requirement, or determination made by the Director in the administration of the zoning and subdivision ordinances not otherwise provided.

Additionally, Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) Chapter 17 provides for appeals of decisions made by the Building Official. The HBZSO and HBMC are availab le to the public at all times on the City’s website or by contacting the City Clerk’s office or Community Development Department. No further response is needed.

E-4 This comment requests that, along with the Floor Area Ratio (FAR), Draft SEIR Table 3-3:

Candidate Housing Sites Involving Rezoning include the projected number of units that would result if the rezoned candidate housing sites were developed with residential units.

Please refer to Draft SEIR Table 3-3 in Draft SEIR Section 3.2: Existing Environmental Setting.

Rezoning is a Project activity that is more appropriately discussed as a potential Project impact; see Draft SEIR page 5.8 -21. It is also noted that z one changes are proposed on o nly three candidate housing sites: Sites 3, 4, and 5. Draft SEIR Table 5.8-6: Proposed Zone Changes – Candidate Housing Sites , provides the existing and proposed zoning for these three sites. As indicated in Draft SEIR Table 5.8-6, the zoning on Sites 3, 4, and 5 would change from IL, IG, and CG (with an existing development capacity of 765,458 square feet of non-residential land uses) to RMH, with a resultant development capacity of 428 housing units.

The maximum allowable development on an individual parcel is regulated by the maximum density or intensity fo r the parcel’s land use designation. Density applies to residential designations and is expressed as the maximum number of dwelling units per acre of land. Intensity applies to nonresidential development and is expressed as floor -to-area (FAR) ratio. Candidate housing sites proposed to be rezoned to RMH (Residential Medium High Density) would be subject to the maximum density allowable for that land use designation, which is 25 dwelling units per acre. No FAR standard is established for the RMH land use designation.

E-5 This comment requests that Draft SEIR Appendix B: Candidate Housing Sites Inventory also include the anticipated FAR for each candidate housing site.

The Project’s proposed rezoning and overlay strategies are all intended to accommodate additional residential development . Therefore, Draft SEIR Appendix B appropriately includes residential development density, which is expressed in terms of dwelling units per acre. There is no FAR proposed for the candidate housing sites. Further, FAR as suggested in this comment, is a quantitative measure that typically applies to non-residential development, including as part of a mixed-use development. The Project’s proposed rezoning and overlay are intended for residential development and not non-residential or mixed-use developments.

E-6 This comment requests clarification, asking if the statement “except for development permitted by right” found on Draft SEIR page 3-10 refers to any residential development within an overlay.

This statement does not refer to “any” project, instead it refers to projects that meet State housing law requirements (i.e., by providing a minimum of 20 percent lower income units on site).

To further clarify, Draft SEIR page 3-10 paragraph 3 is revised in the Final SEIR, as follows:
….. Similarly, discretionary permits and future CEQA evaluation will be required prior to approval of future housing development facilitated by the HEU, except for development permitted by right, which includes housing projects within overlay zones that meet State housing law requirements (e.g., by providing a minimum of 20% lower income units on site) , emergency shelters, low barrier navigation centers, and small licensed residential care facilities for six or fewer persons; and ADUs and Junior ADUs, which ar e exempt from CEQA, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15268 (Ministerial Projects) and PRC §21080(b)(1) and discretionary permits per CGC §§65852.2 and 65852.22. In addition, ADUs can be categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §§1 5301 and 15303, authority cited under PRC §§21083 and 21087.

Although not related to the SEIR’s environmental analysis, to further clarify, within the proposed Overlay areas, if a project does not provide a minimum of 20 percent lower income units on site, an applicant would be subject to development pursuant to the base/underlying zoning designation. For some candidate housing sites, this would preclude residential development on the site and any nonresidential development proposed would be subject to th e City’s discretionary processes and be subject to CEQA. In instances where the base zoning designation allows residential (such as the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan) a project that does not provide a minimum of 20 percent lower income units o n site would be subject to the City’s discretionary processes and be subject to CEQA.

E-7 This comment requests clarification on when in the process City Council will decide concerning the statement made on Draft SEIR page 3-11 “the Huntington Beach City Council will decide which housing sites from the candidate housing sites inventory will be identified in the 6th Cycle Housing Element, as action programs to accommodate the assigned affordable housing obligations.” This comment does not address the adequacy or completeness of the Draft SEIR; does not raise environmental issues; and does not request the incorporation of additional information relevant to environmental issues. Although such comments do not require a response pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15088(a), it is noted that the Huntington Beach City Council will make these decisions at the time the HEU an d its associated SEIR are brought forth for their consideration.

This is tentatively scheduled to occur during a City Council meeting to be held in Fall of 2022.

Public notices of this meeting will be made available in accordance with all applicable regulations No further response is needed.

E-8 This comment requests clarification regarding the 60 percent buffer.

As stated on Draft SEIR page 3-13, a buffer of 60 percent is included to accommodate the RHNA during the entire planning period given the State’s requirements of the “no net loss” statute. The purpose of No Net Loss Law ( CGC §65863) is to ensure development opportunities remain available throughout the planning period to accommodate a jurisdiction’s RHNA, especially for lower- and moderate-income households.3
The Project does not propose new residential or other development on the 378 candidate housing sites; rather, it provides capacity for future development of approximately 19,738 housing units to meet the City’s remaining unmet RHNA of 11,743 housing units, consistent with State law.

Because private property development is largely the result of market forces, it is possible that a candidate site would be developed with nonresidential uses pursuant to the base zoning designation or be developed with fewer units than the assumed capacity. The City is required to accommodate a buffer to ensure that residential capacity will continue to accommodate the City’s RHNA targets for each income level in the event this happens. While the 11,743 units of remaining unmet R HNA is not a development cap, the City only has to allow residential development pursuant to the proposed Affordable Housing Overlays (i.e., by-right development) until the RHNA is met. The 19,738 units, which do account for the buffer, reflect the development capacities for all 378 candidate housing sites. There is no additional buffer or other sites aside from the 378 sites identified. The assumed development densities are detailed in Draft SEIR Appendix B. Lastly, during the planning period, residential development projects could be proposed in other areas of the City designated for residential uses on sites not identified in the Housing Element . These residential projects are not part of the Project analyzed in the SEIR and would be subject to the City’s established discretionary process and CEQA. These projects would also contribute to meeting the City’s RHNA targets.

E-9 This comment requests clarification concerning developments that have previously received CEQA clearance (Draft SEIR page 3-18). This statement refers to the 1,625 units that are already entitled and current in the pipeline projects- it does not refer to the buffer units. To further clarify, Draft SEIR page 3-18 last paragraph is revised in the Final SEIR, as follows:

It is noted, while the candidate housing sites’ development capacity totals 19,738 housing units, this includes a 60 percent buffer, which is intended to serve as a sites contingency. Therefore, the CEQA Project analyzed in this SEIR assumes 11,743 additio nal housing units over existing conditions, which excludes the 60 percent 7,995 buffer units and 1,625 pipeline units (i.e., existing applications and current projects)4 since these have previously received CEQA clearance….

The candidate housing sites included in the inventory have already undergone a site suitability analysis as part of the HEU and have been deemed suitable to accommodate residential capacity pursuant to Housing Element law.

As discussed in Response E -8, the 19,738 units conside r the development capacities of all 378 candidate housing sites and includes the buffer (7,995 units). The locations of the 378 candidate housing sites are depicted on Draft SEIR Exhibit 1-1: Candidate Housing Sites. All of the parcels would be located wit hin Overlay areas, except for the three sites proposed to be rezoned. There are no additional parcels being considered beyond the 378 sites depicted on Draft SEIR Exhibit 1-1.

E-10 This comment requests a discussion on how the Affordable Housing Overlay is implemented.

The Housing Element’s Affordable Housing Overlay is a subsequent implementing action to be adopted by the City Council at a duly noticed public hearing. Upon adoption, the Overlay will become the official standards regulating land uses subject to the Overlay. It is noted that the Draft SEIR analyzes the whole of the Project in that it evaluates and identifies potential environmental impacts associated with the total development capacity on all of the candidate housing sites, including sites within the Affordable Housing Overlay. By doing so, the Draft SEIR outlines a worst- case scenario of potential Project impacts on the environment. Residential projects proposed pursuant to the Overlay would be required to provide 20 percent lower income units on site and would not be allowed to pay in-lieu fees to satisfy the affordable requirement.

E-11 This comment requests additional information concerning flooding from Prado Dam failure. The comment states that the Draft SEIR should provide support for concluding that risk of flooding from Prado Dam failure is unlikely due to the short duration that the reservoir is full.

In acc ordance with the State CEQA Guidelines, t he Draft SEIR addresses the following impact statement: Would the Project in flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to project inundation? Draft SEIR Section 5.7: Hydrology and Water Quality states that future development facilitated by the Project could place housing and structures within a 100-year flood hazard area and/or dam inundation area. The section further discloses that General Plan Figure HAZ-8, Dam Flooding Area, identifies portions of the City, including 154 candidate housing sites, in the Prado Reservoir Dam inundation area. The Association of State Dam Safety Officials reports the most likely cause of dam failure is flooding from overtopping.5 The General Plan Natural and Environmental Hazards Element reports that Prado Dam releases water in a controlled manner down the Santa Ana River to recharge the groundwater aquifer underlying Orange County. 6 Although upstream dam failure could occur, it is likely only a threat to Huntington Beach during a relatively small part of the year when the reservoir behind Prado Dam is at its fullest. Therefore, the Draft SEIR appropriately concludes that flood risk from dam failure is unlikely. Although unlikely, potential for flooding from dam failure due to overtopping or other cause of failure, in

addition to flooding and inundation from storm events, would be addressed through Building Code and other applicable requirements. The analysis addresses federal and local requirements as follows: FEMA requires municipalities that participate in the NFIP to adopt certain flood hazard reduction standards for construction and development in 100-year flood plains. Accordingly, the City requires all new development within a 100 -year flood hazard area to obtain all necessary permits from applicable governmental agencies, comply with Floodplain Overlay District requirements (HBZSO Chapter 222), and ensure that proposed housing sites would be reasonably safe from flooding. A discussion of the measures the County of Orange, Federal government, and other regional governments implement to reduce flood risks from Prado Dam failure would not inform the analysis because the impact threshold is adequately addressed, and the Project is not the analysis of potential Prado Dam failure, but rather of potential Project impacts. It is also noted that all of the 154 candidate housing sites within or partially within the dam flooding area are currently designated for residential, commercial, or industrial land uses that could place housing and structures within flood hazard areas.

E-12 This comment is concerning GPU PEIR MM 4.15-2, which is intended to mitigate impacts to water supplies and the commenter alleges is for commercial businesses with employees. See revisions to Final SEIR Section 3.0: Errata for revisions to GPU PEIR MM 4.15-2 to account for the residential component.

E-13 This comment opines that the Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis included in the Draft SEIR is inadequate because it screens out several of the candidate housing sites identified in the HEU, and therefore does not describe the total VMT generated by the Project.

As discussed in Responses E-8 and E-9 above, the inventory of candidate housing sites results in a development capacity of 19,738 units, including the 7,995 unit buffer (60 percent), although the City’s unmet RHNA is only 11,743 units. As the housing development projects’ built environment characteristics (e.g., d ensity, bicycle facilities, transportation demand measures, sequence and combination of candidate housing sites , and displaced land uses, among others) , that could influence trip generation and VMT cannot be known at this time, calculating VMT for all sites for 19,738 units would generate VMT for an unrealistic development scenario that is not anticipated to occur. The Housing Element is a policy-level document that presents the City’s proposed policies and programs to achieve the City’s housing objectives within the 2021 -2029 planning period. Growth assumptions included in the HEU represent a theoretical development capacity (based on the City’s RHNA allocation as determined by SCAG), which, consistent with the Housing Element planning period, is estimated to occur by 2029. The Project does not propose development, but rather is intended to accommodate and encourage housing development to accommodate projected housing needs at all income levels within the City. The 19,738 dwelling unit development capacity, inclusive of the buffer needed to meet the remaining unmet RHNA of 11,743 dwelling units, and planning period are based on theoretical conditions used to conduct a thorough and conservative analysis of potential environmental impacts that would result from future development accommodated by the HEU and corresponding updates to the LUE. The actual rate and location of housing development would be outside of the City’s control and would be dictated by factors that influence development, such as eco nomics and market forces, among City of Huntington Beach

others. Individual projects would occur incrementally over time, largely based on economic conditions, market demand, and other planning considerations.

As stated on Draft SEIR page 5.13-10, to quickly identify when a project should be expected to cause a less than significant impact without conducting a detailed study, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research 2018 December Technical Advisory (OPR TA) suggests that a lead agency may screen out VMT impacts using pr oject size, maps, transit availability, and provision of affordable housing. The OPR TA specifies that land development projects that have one or more of the following attributes may be presumed to have a less than significant impact on transportation and circulation: Small Projects; Low VMT Area Projects; Proximity to Transit (Projects in Transit Priority Areas (TPAs)/High-Quality Transit Area (HQTA); Affordable Residential Development Projects. A land use project needs to meet only one of these screening criteria to be presumed to have a less than significant impact on transportation and circulation, under CEQA and pursuant to SB 743. Accordingly, the Draft SEIR provides the VMT Assessment for screened projects beginning on page 5.13-16. All 378 candidate housing sites were analyzed based on their maximum allowable density, maximum development capacity, maximum trip generation, location and each screening criteria (i.e., Small Projects; projects in low VMT areas; projects in TPAs/ HQTA; and affordable hous ing projects ). Moreover, t o provide forecast ADT for representative residential developments, the ADT for the maximum, mean, and 90 th percentile development capacities were estimated. The daily trip generation per candidate housing site and the exhibits that depict the sites in the context of projects in low VMT areas and projects in TPAs/ HQTA are provided in Draft SEIR Appendix F: Vehicle Miles Traveled Assessment; see the following:
▪ Attachment A: Forecast Trip Generation by Candidate Housing Site ▪ Attachment C: Small Project Screening Map
▪ Attachment E: Low VMT Area Screening Map
▪ Attachment F: Transit Proximity Screening Map
Therefore, the Draft SEIR analysis screens out the candidate housing sites based on their ability to qualify for the four screening criteria.

Future housing development in the City will be processed in accordance with the applicable zoning regulations and development standards in effect at the time a project is submitted. Future developments would be examined in light of the assumptions for that site included in the SEIR to determine whether they would be subject to a “by right” site plan review process or further discretionary review, including environmental clearance requirements pursuant to CEQA. As discussed above, the assumed developments on each candidate housing site are theoretical- lot consolidation, etc. is speculative and cannot be determined at this policy-level analysis. See Response E-4 concerning FAR , which is a quantitative measure th at typically applies to non - residential development, thus, the densities specified in Draft SEIR Appendix B were used for screening purposes.

E-14 This comment requests information on proximity to transit and bicycle facilities and opines that the SEIR needs to discuss transit within the Project area in relation to VMT impacts.

See Response E-13 concerning adequacy of the VMT analysis, transit screening, and Attachment F: Transit Proximity Screening Map . The City’s Bicycle Master Plan (2013) and General Pla n Circulation Element Figure CIRC-5, Bikeway Plan, which detail the existing bicycle network and also offer future improvements intended to enhance the City’s bicycle network are discussed on Draft SEIR page 5.13-6. Additionally, the Existing Transportation Network (Draft SEIR page 5.13-6) discusses for each roadway the locations of bicycle facilities and which candidate housing sites are present/would be served by that facility.

The use of bicycling as an alternative mode of transportation is not solely relied upon to mitigate VMT impacts. Other examples of potential measures to reduce VMT, as outlined in MM TRANS-1, include:
▪ Increase access to common goods and services, such as groceries, schools, and daycare. ▪ Incorporate affordable housing into the project.
▪ Provide traffic calming.
▪ Limit or eliminate parking supply.
▪ Unbundle parking costs.
▪ Implement or provide access to a commute reduction program. ▪ Provide transit passes.

E-15 This comment questions whether the Draft SEIR defers VMT mitigation as part of the VMT analysis by noting that individual projects will need to undergo and prepare a separate VMT evaluation.

As discussed in Response E -13, the housing development projects’ built environment characteristics (e.g., density, bicycl e facilities, transportation demand measures, sequence and combination of candidate housing sites , and displaced land uses, among others), that could influence trip generation and VMT cannot be known at this time. These are practical considerations that preclude conducting site-specific VMT analyses and devising site-specific mitigation measures, and are moreover not appropriate for this policy level analysis. Additionally, MM TRANS-1 includes the elements necessary to devise site-specific mitigation measures: the Lead Agency’s commitment to devise such measures in the future; inclusion of performance standards (i.e., low VMT threshold); and identification of potential actions that could feasibly achieve the performance standard.

E-16 This comment notes the two alternatives provided in the SEIR. The State CEQA Guidelines do not require an EIR to consider every plausible alternative to a project, but rather must examine in detail only the ones which the lead agency determines could feasibly attain most of the basic project objectives. Given the Project’s objectives, and most notably the ability to meet R HNA requirements, the SEIR has both identified those alternatives considered but rejected, and analyzed in detail two alternatives that could at least in part attain Project objectives.

E-17 See Responses E-13, E-14, and E-15 concerning the adequacy of the VMT analysis.

State CEQA Guidelines §15126.6(d): Evaluation of Alternatives states: The EIR shall include sufficient information about each alternative to allow meaningful evaluation, analysis, and comparison with the proposed project. A matrix displaying the major characteristics and significant environmental effects of each alternative may be used to summarize the comparison.

If an alternative would cause one or more significant effects in addition to those that would be caused by the project as proposed, the significant effects of the alternative shall be discussed, but in less detail than the significant effects of the project as proposed. Therefore, the level of detail provided is suitable for an alternative s analysis. Further, under Alternative 2, new residential development would occur in portions of Specific Plan 14’s (Beach Edinger Corridors Specific Plan) Transition Corridor Areas (TCA s), which would support transit -oriented communities, and on fewer total parcels throughout the City. This would further reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT), transportation-related energy demands, and associated criteria air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions associated with housing development. Thus, the analysis found that compared to the proposed Project, Alternative 2 would better support goals to reduce Citywide and regional VMT.

This alternative would not restrict the City’s ability to implement a ny planned transportation improvements and new development would continue to be subject to HBMC Chapter 17.65: Fair Share Traffic Impact Fees. Following compliance with General Plan Policies CIRC-1.B, 1.F, 2.C, 3.C,

3.D, 5.A, 6.C, 9.B, payment of traffic i mpact fees, and implementation of GPU PEIR MMs 4.14-1 through MM 4.14 -3 and MM TRANS -1 (which would remain applicable to Alternative 2), Alternative 2’s potential to conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadways, bicycle and pedestrian facilities would also be less than significant. Thus, Alternative 2 would be considered environmentally superior to the Project concerning transportation.

E-18 This comment notes that there has been public controversy over high-rise development fronting Beach Boulevard. See Response E-17, regarding the adequacy of the Alternative 2 analysis.

There is no high -rise development anticipated by the Project. As detailed for each candidate housing site in VMT Assessment Attachment A: Forecast Trip Generation by Candidate Housing Site, either low-rise or mid-rise developments were assumed for the sites. Therefore, no visual analysis of high-rise development is warranted.

See Final SEIR Section 3.0: Errata for revisions to the Aesthetic analysis under Alternative 2.

E-19 This comment opines that there will be additional impacts to recreational facilities within areas around Beach Boulevard under Alternative 2, as this alternative would result in an increase i n population concentrated within this area, which could result in an increased demand for parks and recreational facilities. See Draft SEIR Section 5.12: Recreation, for an analysis of the Project’s potential impacts on recreational facilities. As with the Project, the increased use of existing recreational facilities associated with Alternative 2 is not anticipated to result in the substantial physical deterioration of these facilities because Alternative 2 buildout would occur incrementally through 2029, based on market conditions and other factors, such that recreational facilities are not overburdened by substantially increased demands at any single point in time. Also, as stated in Draft SEIR Section 7.0: Alternatives, Alternative 2 does not include recreational facilities but may require the construction or expansion of facilities to meet the demand for recreational City of Huntington Beach

facilities to meet General Plan Policy ERC -1.A’s park per capita target ratio of 5.0 acres per 1,000 persons.

E-20 This comment notes that high-rise development is costly and may not be affordable to renters if developers choose to pay in -lieu fees rather than provide affordable housing . As such , the comment opines that housing locations and development envisioned under Alternative 2 should be rejected.

See Response E-18 concerning high-rise development. Residential projects proposed within the Overlay areas would be required to provide 20 percent lower income units on site and would not be able to satisfy the affordable requirements through the payment of in-lieu fees. The rejection of Alternative 2 based on a hypothetical scenario in which rental units could be too costly to maintain and rent would be speculative, and would conflict with the State CEQA Guidelines, which require an evaluation of a reasonable range of alternatives that could lessen or eliminate Project- related environmental impacts.

E-21 This comment requests that additional alter natives (i.e., the Huntington Harbour Area) be analyzed. See Response E-16 concerning th e Alternatives analyses. In addition, as discussed in Draft SEIR Section 7.0: Alternatives, sites in the Huntington Harbour area would be subject to approval of a Local Coastal Program Amendment by the California Coastal Commission. The comment asserts that development can occur in areas vulnerable to hazards from sea level rise if the design mitigates sea level rise. However, when considering land use plan amendments, the Coastal Commission’s adopted guidance policies provide that jurisdictions should identify sea level rise hazard areas and limit new development in current and future sea level rise hazard zones. The Huntington Harbour area is mapped as a potential Sea Level Rise Hazard Area in General Plan Figure HAZ -6. The City has no assurances that the Coastal Commission would approve land use amendments to designate this area for residential uses. Therefore, this area would not be available to accommodate residential development (i.e. , the City’s RHNA targets) during the planning period and would not meet this Project objective. Further, the number of residential units that would need to be accommodated in the HEU would remain the same regardless of site location. As such, environmental impacts would not necessarily be reduced.

Since impacts would not be reduced and Project objectives would not be met, alternatives to consider different sites were not selected for further analysis.

E-22 This comment requests that the McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan (SP11) Alternative not be rejected. See Response E-16 concerning the Alternatives analyses. In addition, as discussed in Draft SEIR Section 7.0: Alternatives, properties within the SP11 area that were considered for housing in the HEU are proposed to be developed with industrial uses. The first phase of buildings was recently completed, and additional phases were approved for over one million square feet of industrial, office , and warehouse space . Therefore, these sites would not be available to accommodate residential development (i.e., the City’s RHNA targets) during the planning period and would not meet this Project objective. Further, the number of residential units that would need to be accommodated in the HEU would remain the same regardless of site location. As such, environmental impacts would not necessarily be reduced. Since impacts would not be reduced City of Huntington Beach

Section 3.0 Errata to the Draft SEIR

3.1 Introduction to the Errata
In accordance with State CEQA Guidelines §15132: Contents of Final Environmental Impact Report, the Final SEIR for the 2021-2029 HEU Implementation Program Project includes the Draft S EIR (SCH #2021080104, June 2022), as well as any proposed revisions or changes to the Draft SEIR. Changes to the Draft SEIR are listed below in this section by Draft SEIR Section, page, paragraph, etc. to best guide the reader to the revision. Changes are identified as follows:

Deletions are indicated by strikeout text.

Additions are indicated by underlined text.

It is noted, the changes to the Draft SEIR provided below do not affect the Draft SEIR’s overall conclusions, and instead represent changes to provide clarification, amplification, and/or insignificant modifications, as needed as a result of public comments on the Draft SEIR, or due to additional information received during the public review period. These clarifications and corrections do not warrant Draft SEIR recirculation pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15088.5; see also Final SEIR Section 1.4: Changes to the Draft SEIR.

None of the changes or information provided in the comments identify a new significant environmental impact, a substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact for which mitigation is not proposed, or a new feasible alternative or m itigation measure that would clearly lessen significant environmental impacts but is not adopted. In addition, the changes do not reflect a fundamentally flawed or conclusory Draft SEIR.

….. Similarly, discretionary permits and future CEQA evaluation will be required prior to approval of future housing development facilitated by the HEU, except for development permitted by right, which includes housing projects within overlay zones that meet State housing law requirements (e.g., by providing a minimum of 20% lower income units on site) , emergency shelters, low barrier navigation centers, and small licensed residential care facilities for six or fewer persons; and ADUs and Junior ADUs, which ar e exempt from CEQA, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15268 (Ministerial Projects) and PRC §21080(b)(1) and discretionary permits per CGC §§65852.2 and 65852.22. In addition, ADUs can be categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §§15301 and 15303, authority cited under PRC §§21083 and 21087.

Review.

There is one hazardous waste site (Ascon Landfill, located at 21641 Magnolia Street) in the City that is on the Hazardous Waste and Substances Site List (Cortese List) compiled pursuant to California Government Code §65962.5.5 This property is not included in the inventory of candidate housing sites.

In addition, CalRecycle’s SWIS identified two other landfills in the City : the City of Huntington Beach Landfill (No. 30 -AB-0026, previously located between Gothard Street and Goldenwest Street ); and the Gothard Street Landfill (No. 30-AB-0014, previously located at 18131 Gothard Street). These landfills have a “closed” operational status and are not included in the inventory of candidate housing sites. The State Geotracker website indicates that the Gothard Street Landfill is an open – closed with monitoring case, as the landfill is closed but ongoing monitoring events occur.

Section 5.12: Recreation
Pages 5.12-3 and -4, Section 5.12.3: Existing Environmental Setting Parks2
The City is served by a wide variety of recreational programs run by the City of Huntington Beach Department of Community Services. There are 7 89 parks and public facilities, public golf courses, city facilities, and public beaches in the City totaling 1,073 767 acres, 190 playground apparatus, and irrigation systems. In addition to the 767 acres of parkland, the City also has 208 acres of public beach and a 98-acre public golf course. City recreational facilities also include community centers, senior centers, clubhouses, a gym and pool, bikeways and equestrian trail systems, and campgrounds. City -run marine -based amenities, such as beaches, a pier, and harbor channels, as well as two State beaches and one regional park (operated by Orange County), are also available for recreational usage.

Parks/Parkland
Based on the City’s existing population of 196,874 persons (see Table 5.10-2: Existing and Forecast Population -City) and City target to maintain or exceed the current park per capita ratio of 5.0 acres per 1,000 persons, including the beach in the calculations (see General Plan Policy ERC-1.A), the City’s current parkland demand is 985 acres. As discussed above, there are 1,073 975 acres of parkland in the City , including 767 acres of parks and 208 acres of public beach. Therefore, the City is currently over under its parkland demand by approximately 88 10 acres.

Pages 5.12-5 and -6, Section 5.12.6: Project Impacts and Mitigation, Impacts REC-1 and -2

IMPACT ANALYSIS
Implementation of the HEU w ould not, in and of itself, construct new housing in the City but would facilitate the development of residential units by providing programs and policies that would promote housing for all persons.

Future housing development facilitated by the Project would incrementally increase the City’s population by approximately 29,475 persons; see Table 5.10-8: Existing Plus Project Growth Projections. Additionally, this forecast population growth would require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities to meet General Plan Policy ERC -1.A’s park per capita target ratio of 5.0 acres per 1,000 persons.

Table 5.12-1: Projected Parkland Demand – Project and Representative Development Capacities, provides the projected parkland demand for Project buildout and indicates the Project would generate a demand City of Huntington Beach
2021-2029 HEU Implementation Program Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report

for approximately 147 acres of parkland. Although the Project-related increase in population is anticipated to increase the use of existing recreational facilities, the increased use of existing recreational facilities is not anticipated to result in the such that substantial physical deterioration of these facilityies could occur or be accelerated because much of the project-related growth has. It is noted that Project buildout would occur incrementally through 2029, based on market conditions and other factors, such that recreational facilities are not overburdened by substantially increased demands at any single point in time.

Additionally, the Project -related increase in population (and resulting increase in parkland demand) represents a conservative, worst-case scenario because there is an overlap in growth anticipated as part of the Project and growth anticipated as part of the GPU (2017). Namely, growth ant icipated as part of the Project could occur on many of the same sites that were forecasted for development as part of the GPU. Furthermore, it is not anticipated that each candidate housing site would be developed with a maximum development scenario, and thereby would not result in the maximum potential for an increased demand for parkland and recreational facilities in the City. For context, Table 5.12 -1, also provides the projected parkland demand for the average size development (Site 53 with 51 dwelling units) and maximum size development (Site 217 with approximately 601 dwelling units), respectively. As also indicated in Table 5.12-1, at most, the parkland demand associated with a single housing development site would be 8.4 acres.

All future housing development subject to rezoning and within overlay zones would also be subject to compliance with General Plan Policy ERC -1.A, which ensure existing parks and their current and future development meet the changing recreational and leisure needs of existing and future residents through processes such as: current park per capita would be maintained or exceeded; Policy ERC-1.B, which seeks opportunities to develop and acquire additional parks and open space in underserved areas where needed; and Policy ERC-1.C, which ensures distribution of future developed park and recreational sites to equitably serve neighborhood and community needs while balancing budget constraints; as well as General Plan Policies ERC-1.E, ERC-1.F, ERC-1.G, and ERC-1.H. All future housing development subject to rezoning and within overlay zones would also be subject to compliance with GPU PEIR MM 4.13 -1 and MM 4.13 -2, which would ensure project applicants demonstrate compliance with City parkland requirements identified in HBZSO §254.08 (or Ordinance No. 3596), either through the dedication of Table 5.12-1: Projected Parkland Demand –

onsite parkland or through payment of applicable fees and that project applicants pay the Park Land/Open Space and Facilities Development Impact Fees in effect at the time of permit. Payment of fees would help offset the co sts associated with the physical deterioration of existing facilities and construction or construction or expansion of facilities.

The Project does not include recreational facilities, but may require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities to meet the Project’s demand for parkland, as concluded above. Construction or expansion of recreational facilities could have an adverse physical effect on the environment. Any future expansion of existing facilities or construction of new facilities, if required, would be subject to environmental review under CEQA.

Following compliance with General Plan Policies, and GPU PEIR MM 4.13-1 (HBZSO §254.08) and 4.13-2, the Project’s potential impacts associated with recreational facilities would be reduced t o less than significant.

Pages 5.12-7 and -8, Section 5.12.7: Cumulative Impacts The Project would result in a parkland demand of approximately 147 acres. As concluded above, this would be a less than significant impact following compliance with the City’s General Plan, HBZSO, and GPU PEIR MM 4.13-1 and 4.13-2. Cumulative development combined with the Project would generate a demand for 1,132 1,202 acres of parkland.6 There are 975 1,073 acres of parkland in the City, including 767 acres of parks and 208 a cres of public beach. When accounting for existing facilities, the remaining unmet parkland demand associated with cumulative development would be 59 227 acres. Additionally, the cumulative population forecast combined with the Project’s forecast population growth would total 240,523 persons, which cwould increase the use of existing recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of a facility could occur or be accelerated. However, cumulative development would occur incrementally, based on market conditions and other factors, such that recreational facilities are not overburdened by substantially increased demands at any single point in time. All cumulative development would also undergo environmental review on a project-by-project basis pursuant to CEQA to evaluate potential impacts concerning recreational facilities. All cumulative projects would be subject to compliance with General Plan Policies ERC-1.A through ERC-1.H. Future cumulative development would also be subject to compliance with GPU PEIR MM 4.13 -1 and 4.13 -2, which would ensure project applicants demonstrate compliance with City parkland requirements identified in HBZSO §254.08, either through dedication of on-site parkland or payment of applicable fees and that project applicants pay the Park Land/Open Space and Facilities Development Impact Fees in effect at the time of permit. Where significant or potentially significan t impacts are identified, implementation of all feasible site -specific mitigation would be required to avoid or reduce impacts. For future residential development subject to a ministerial “by right” site plan review process, projects would be required to submit a GPU PEIR Mitigation Checklist identifying how they would comply with the GPU PEIR mitigation measures. Consequently, the Project combined with cumulative development would not result in significant cumulative environmental impacts concerning recreational facilities and no mitigation is required.

Project proponents, as applicable, shall:
1) Require employees and residents to report leaks and water losses immediately and shall provide information and training as required to allow for efficient reporting and follow up.
2) Educate employees and residents about the importance and benefits of water conservation.
3) Create water conservation suggestion boxes, and place them in prominent areas.
4) Install signs in restrooms and cafeterias that encourage water conservation. 5) Assign an employee or resident to evaluate water conservation opportunities and effectiveness.
6) Develop and implement a water management plan for its facilities that includes methods for reducing overall water use.
7) Conduct a water use survey to update current water use needs. (Processes and equipment are constantly upgrading, thus changing the need for wa ter in some areas.)
8) Repair leaks. Check the water supply system for leaks and turn off unnecessary flows.
9) Utilize water-efficient irrigation systems and drought tolerant plant palette and ensure that sprinklers are directing water to landscape areas, and not to parking lots, sidewalks or other paved areas.
10) Adjust the irrigation schedule for seasonal changes.

11) Install low-flow or waterless fixtures in public and employee restrooms. 12) Instruct cleaning crews to use water efficiently for mopping. 13) Use brooms, squeegees, and wet/dry vacuums to clean surfaces before washing with water; do not use hoses as brooms. Sweep or blow paved areas to clean, rather than hosing off (applies outside, not inside). 14) Avoid washing building exteriors or other outside structures. 15) Sweep and vacuum parking lots/sidewalks/window surfaces rather than washing with water.
16) Switch from “wet” carpet cleaning methods, such as steam, to “dry,” powder methods. Change window -cleaning schedule from “periodic” to “as required.”
17) Set automatic optic sensors on icemakers to minimum fill levels to provide lowest possible daily requirement. Ensure units are air-cooled and not water- cooled.
18) Control the flow of water to the garbage disposal
19) Install and maintain spray rinsers for pot washing and reduce flow of spray rinsers for prewash
20) Turn off dishwashers when not in use – wash only full loads 21) Scrape rather than rinse dishes before washing
22) Operate steam tables to minimize excess water use
23) Discontinue use of water softening systems where possible 24) Ensure water pressure and flows to dishwashers are set a minimum required setting.
25) Install electric eye sensors for conveyor dishwashers 256) Retrofit existing flushometer (tankless) toilets with water-saving diaphragms and coordinate automatic systems with work hours so that they don’t run continuously
267) Use a shut-off nozzle on all hoses that can be adjusted down to a fine spray so that water flows only when needed.

Aesthetics. New housing development under Alternative 2 would concentrate developments in the TCAs of the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan 14; however, development on the proposed Project candidate housing sites would still be able to occur. Alternative 2 is different than the proposed Project in that Alternative 2 assumes higher density development in the TCAs but continues to allow development in the candidate housing sites. With higher densities in the TCAs under Alternative 2, it is anticipated that housing development would be predominately multi-family.

Similar to Unlike the Project, Alternative 2 would not impact City identified scenic vistas such as the Pacific Ocean, the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, the Huntington Beach Mesa, and the low, steep bluffs on the south side of the Pacific Coast Highway due to the taller building heights and higher densities. The increase in development associated with both the proposed Project and Alternative 2 could affect the Huntington Beach Municipal Pier with the increase in light and glare in the area. Following Despite compliance with General Plan Policies LU-7.A through LU-7.C, LU-8.B through LU-8.D, CIRC-7.E, and the California Building Standards Code (Part 11 of Title 24), and HBZSO design guidelines that address light and spillage and glare on adjacent properties), both the proposed Project and Alternative 2 would have a less than significant impact on aesthetic resources. Thus, the Alternative 2 would be considered environmentally equivalent inferior to the Project concerning aesthetics.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
Notice is herebyg iven by the Department of Community Development of the City of Huntington Beach that the following Notice of Availability has been prepared to notify interested parties that the Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report( SEIR) has been prepared for the Huntington Beach 6th Cycle Housing Element Update (HEU) (2021- 2029) Implementation Program (Project). The City of Huntington Beach is the lead agency for the preparation of this SEIR. The Draft SEIR will be available for public review and comment for 45 days commencing Wednesday, June 29, 2022 and ending Monday, August 15, 2022.

The Draft SEIR identifies the potentiale nvironmental impacts associated with the proposed HEU Implementation Program,i ncluding the Project’sp otential to result in significant and unavoidable impacts concerning Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise, and Utilities and ServiceS ystems. Impacts concerning the following resource areas were determined to be less than significant or less than significant with mitigation incorporated: Cultural Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Land Use and Planning, Population and Housing, Public Services, Recreation,Transportation,andTribalCulturalResources.

PROJECT LOCATION: Citywide
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Housing Element, which is ac omponent of the Huntington Beach General Plan, provides direction for implementation of various programst om eet existing and projected future housing needs for all income levels within HuntingtonB each. The City’s projected housing need for the 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) planning period (2021-2029) is 13,368 dwelling units (11,743 units whenaccountingforexistingapplicationsandprojectsthatarecurrentlyunderreview).

State housing law requirest he City to specify the number of housing units that can accommodated on candidate housing sites. The City is not required to build dwelling units in order to meet its RHNA allocation, only to identify potential sites and create the framework to allow the market the opportunity to develop these units. Therefore, the City has developed aH ousing Program to accommodate the RHNA units, including amendments to existing land use designations and zoning districts,a na ffordable housing overlay,a nd identification of underutilized, residentially-zoned parcels in an inventory of 378 candidate housing sites (approximately 419 acres). None of these sites are on al ist of hazardous materialssitescompiledpursuanttoGovernmentCodeSection65962.5.

The Housing Program specifically addressedi nt he SEIR includes amendments to the HuntingtonB each Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) and the Huntington Beach General Plan Update (GPU) for changes to base/overlay districts and land use designations, as well as amendments to other planning documents, as needed for clarification and consistencyp urposes and to accommodate future housing sites as part of the HEU’s Implementation Program. These amendments provide capacity for future development of approximately 19,738h ousing units to meet the City’s remaining unmet RHNA of 11,743 housing units. Of the 378 candidate housing sites, 372 sites would be assigned an overlay to permit housing by right. These 372 overlay sites, as well as the three hotel conversion sites, would retain their existingu nderlyingz oning/land use designations -o nly three sites would be rezoned/redesignated. The CEQA Project analyzed in the SEIR assumes 11,743 additional housing units will result from the proposed planning document amendments.

The HEU Implementation Program requires adoptionb yC ityC ouncilR esolution at ad uly noticed public hearing. Additionally, California Department of Housing and Community Development will review the HEU Implementation Program for compliance with applicable statutory provisions. The SEIR, which has been prepared in compliancew itht he California Environmental Quality Act, requiresc ertification by City Council. The following discretionaryactionsarealsorequiredfortheProject:

During the site -specific entitlement and/or the design review process, the City of Huntington Beach Community
Development Department shall require a project-specific Health Risk Assessment for future residential development proposed within 500 feet of the I-405 freeway right -of- way, pursuant to the recommendations set forth in the
CARB Air Quality and Land Use Handbook. The Health Risk Assessment shall evaluate a project per the following
SCAQMD thresholds:
• Cancer Risk: Emit carcinogenic or toxic contaminants that exceed the maximum individual cancer risk of 10 in one million.
• Non‐Cancer Risk: Emit toxic contaminants that exceed the maximum hazard quotient of one in one million.

The SCAQMD has also establi shed non -carcinogenic risk parameters for use in HRAs. Noncarcinogenic risks are
quantified by calculating a “hazard index,” expressed as the ratio between the ambient pollutant concentration
and its toxicity or Reference Exposure Level (REL). An REL is a concentration at or below which health effects are not likely to occur. A hazard index less of than one (1.0) means that adverse health effects are not expected.

If projects are found to exceed the SCAQMD’s Health Risk Assessment thresholds, mitigation measures, such as
requiring MERV 13 air filters in all dwelling units, shall be Project-specific

The City of Huntington Beach shall require that adequate capacity in the storm drain system is demonstrated from a specific development site discharge location to the nearest main channel to accommodate discharges from the
specific development. If capacity is demonstrated as
adequate, upgrades may not be required. If capacity is not adequate, the City of Huntington Beach shall identify
corrective action(s) required by the specific development applicant to ensure adequate capacity. Corrective action could include, but is not limited to:
1) Construction of new storm drain infrastructure, as
identified in the Master Plan of Drainage or based on
the Hydrology and Hydraulic Study, if the Hydrology and Hydraulic Study identifies greater impacts than the
Master Plan of Drainage
2) Improvement of existing storm drain infrastructure, as identified in the Master Plan of Drainage or based on
the Hydrology and Hydraulic Study, if the Hydrology and Hydraulic Study identifies greater impacts than the
Master Plan of Drainage
3) In-lieu fees to implement system -wide storm drain
infrastructure improvements
4) Other mechanisms as determined by the City of
Huntington Beach Public Works Department.
5) For nonresidential areas, if redevelopment would result in an impervious fraction of less than 0.9 and does not increase the directly connected impervious area
compared to existing conditions, runoff is expected to
remain the same or less than as assessed in the Master
Plan of Drainage and only Master Plan of Drainage

Because some storm drai n system constraints may be
located far downgradient from the actual development
site, several properties may serve to contribute to system capacity constraints. Therefore, the City of Huntington Beach Public Works Department shall assess each site
development and system characteristics to identify the
best method for achieving adequate capacity in the storm drain system. Drainage assessment fees/districts to
improve/implement storm drains at downstream locations
or where contributing areas are large are enforced through Municipal Code (§14.20).

The City of Huntington Beach Public Works Department
shall review the Hydrology and Hydraulic Study and
determine required corrective action(s) or if a waiver of corrective action is applicable. The site -specific
development applicant shall incorporate required
corrective actions into their project design and/or plan.

Prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy or final
