A. Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis
1. Candidate Sites Analysis Overview
The Housing Element is required to identify potential candidate housing sites by income category to meet the City’s RHNA Allocation. The sites identified within the Housing Element represent the City of Huntington Beach’s ability to plan for housing at the designated income levels within the 6th housing cycle planning period (2021- 2029). The identified sites were analyzed for realistic capacity and potential for redevelopment. The City of Huntington Beach is a built -out community, with little to no vacant land for new development. It is most likely that future residential will come in the form of infill development, therefore the City has focused the Sites strategy on areas with potential for redevelopment, access to essential resources, proximity to transit or access to highway and road connectivity and overall future residential opportunity.
This appendix describes the strategy the City of Huntington Beach will take to create the viable opportunity to housing and to accommodate the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation.
2. Housing Needs
Future housing need refers to the share of the regional housing need that has been allocated to the City. The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has supplied a regional housing unit goal to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). SCAG then allocated the housing unit goal to each jurisdiction within the region through the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) process. In allocating the region’s future housing needs to jurisdictions, SCAG is required to take the following factors into consideration pursuant to Section 65584 of the State Government Code:
• Market demand for housing
• Employment opportunities
• Availability of suitable sites and public facilities
• Commuting patterns
• Type and tenure of housing
• Loss of units in assisted housing developments
• Over-concentration of lower income households
• Geological and topographical constraint
Huntington Beach’s share of the SCAG regional growth allocation is 13,368 new units for the current planning period (2021-2029). Table B-1 indicates the City’s RHNA need for the stated planning period.

3. Selection of Sites
Table B-2 shows the City’s 2021-2029 RHNA need by income category as well as a summary of the sites identified to meet that need. The analysis within this appendix shows that the City of Huntington Beach has the excess capacity to meet their 2021 -2029 RHNA allocation throughout the planning period through a variety of methods, including:
• Identification of sites suitable for residential through rezone • Identifications of sites suitable for residential through overlay zoning • Identification of sites with opportunity for conversion from motel/hotel to residential • Future development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) The City has identified a total of 1 site to rezone, 318 sites for a designated housing overlay, and 3 sites with opportunity for motel or hotel conversion. The identified sites are shown Figure B-14, and they have been evaluated based on surrounding and existing onsite development to determine the extent to which on-site uses are likely to redevelop within the planning period. Many of the uses are in multi-tenant commercial centers with single owners hip, on small adjacent parcels with single ownership, in under -utilized industrial uses, or show little to no evidence of recent investment or redevelopment.
Table B-14 (at the end of this appendix) identifies each candidate housing site within the City’s sites inventory. The sites are identified by assessor parcel number (APN) as well as a unique identifier used to track sites within the inventory. Additionally, the following information is provided for each parcel. • Address • Existing Zoning
• General Plan Land use • Size (Net developable acres removing known development constraints)
• Rezone designation • Assumed Density

4. Rezone Strategy
As mentioned above, the City of Huntington Beach is a built -out community with little vacant land available as well as majority of non-vacant residential land zoned for low density, single family uses.
Therefore, the City has identified the following rezone strategies to create feasible residential infill opportunities. The City has identified sites in Table B-14 that represent adequate sites t o meet the City’s 2021-2029 RHNA plus a 50% buffer if needed to maintain adequate sites to meet the RHNA throughout the planning period.
• SP 14 – Affordable Housing Overlay: This strategy intends to increase affordable housing options in the existing Beach and Edinger Corridor s Specific Plan. The existing Affordable Housing Overlay permits residential projects that propose at least 20 percent lower income units on site by-right. The SP-14 – Affordable Housing Overlay will expand the provisions of the existing affordable housing overlay to additional areas of the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (SP 14). Currently the Specific Plan is the zoning for the applicable parcels within the SP 14 boundary. More specifically, the Affordable Housing Overlay within SP14 is an additional entitlement for the identified parcels. The existing development standards will remain applicable as they do not currently have a maximum density. Realistic capacity assumptions are set at 80 dwelling units per acre based on an analysis of recent developments within SP14 and their dwelling unit yield as identified in Table B -4. There are no inconsistencies with the base zoning or General Plan Land Use created by the expansion of this overlay. The Maximum Amount of New Development (MAND) in SP14 will not act as an impediment to the application of the Overlay. As specified in the existing overlay, residential projects proposed pursuant to the overlay are not subject to the residential MAND. The Overlay will be updated to state that development within the Overlay will allow for the construction of the unit quantities listed below.
The City has identified 1 51 parcels to expand the overlay which can accommodate the following potential units through redevelopment:
o 3,276 Low and Very Low-Income Units
o 1,539 Moderate Income Units
o 5,827 Above Moderate-Income Units
• Affordable Housing Overlay: This rezone strategy intends to create housing opportunities in well-connected nonresidential areas of the City. The assumed density of the overlay zone will permit residential uses at a range of 55- 65 dwelling units per acre. The Affordable Housing
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-12 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Overlay will not replace the existing zoning but will be an additional entitlement to these properties that looks to promote the development of affordable housing through higher density development and the City’s existing inclusionary housing policy. As with the existing BECSP Affordable Housing Overlay, residential projects that propose at least 20 percent lower income units on-site will be permitted by -right. This is a new overlay within the City of Huntington Beach and development standards will be created within input from the community, experienced developers, and City decision makers. These development standards will be based on historical development within the City and will support development at the densities identified in this housing element. The development standards in this overlay will be conducive for sites to achieve development at maximum density and will not be substantially less than those of existing higher density zones. There are no inconsistencies with the base zoning or General Plan Land Use created by the implementation of this overlay.
The TCAC/HCD Opportunity Indices Maps designates all of the Affordable Housing Overlay parcels identified within the Holly -Seacliff Specific Plan (SP9) and 36 parcels identified within the Research and Technology (RT) Zone as within a Highest Resource area. Approximately 38% of units for moderate income and below within the Affordable Housing Overlay are located in High and Highest Resource areas.
The City has identified 145 parcels to rezone with the Overlay which can accommodate the following potential units:
o 2,034 Low and Very Low-Income Units
o 991 Moderate Income Units
o 3,533 Above Moderate-Income Units
• RH Overlay: This strategy utilizes the City’s existing RH land use designation to create housing opportunities in existing areas within the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan (SP9). This area is approximately 14 acres total and is occupied by oil-related uses, outdoor storage, and a self -storage facility. The sites in SP9 are currently designated as Industrial and surrounded by residentially developed and/or designated land uses. The City has received many inquiries for residential development over the years, but the existing non-residential land use designations precluded residential development from proceeding. The City anticipates that redesignating the site within the SP to RH-35 will result in a project built in this area within the planning period as it has had a substantial amount of development interest, is in close proximity to existing trails and parks , and located along a primary arterial in the City’s circulation plan . The TCAC/HCD Opportunity Indices Maps designates all of these parcels as within a Highest Resource area.
These parcels have been identified due to their potential to redevelop to residential uses when permitted to develop under standards which match the City’s existing RH zone. The City is proposing to permit development which is consistent with existing standards that the City knows to be effective in resulting in residential units being built within the City.
The following developments have occurred within the RH zone:
o The Fountains (271 senior apartments; 32 du/acre)
o Pacific City Residential (516 multi-family rental/apartments; 30 du/acre) These development examples demonstrate the City’s existing RH development standards can successfully facilitate multifamily residential development. This strategy proposes that this area within the Specific Plan will have the option to propose multifamily residential development in accordance with the RH development standards, which will increase the
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-13 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
developable potential of the identified sites. These sites will be able to propose residential development pursuant to the RH Affordable Housing overlay, which will not change the base zoning established within the specific plan. As with the existing BECSP Affordable Housing Overlay, residential projects that propose at least 20 percent lower income units on-site will be permitted by-right. There are no inconsistencies with the base zoning or General Plan Land Use created by the implementation of this overlay.
The City has identified 20 parcels to be designated with the RH Overlay to increase residential development opportunities within the specific plan area. The overlay can accommodate the following potential units:
o 110 Low and Very Low-Income Units
o 62 Moderate Income Units
o 186 Above Moderate-Income Units
5. Calculation of Unit Capacity
Total unit capacity for the sites identified was calculated on a per -parcel basis. Net unit capacity per parcel was calculated by evaluating for buildable acreage, multiplying by an assumed buildout density based on zoning, and subtracting any existing units (if applicable). An example of density calculation is shown below:
• APN: 111-140-32
• ACRES: 1.81 Ac
• BUILDABLE ACREAGE (REDEVELOPMENT): 1.81 (opportunity for redevelopment on underutilized site, previously used for storage)
• REZONE DESIGNATION: RH-30
• MAX DENSITY: 35
• ASSUMED DENSITY: 30
• TOTAL NET UNITS: 53 UNITS
o TOTAL LOWER INCOME UNITS (25 percent of net units): 13 units o TOTAL MODERATE-INCOME UNITS (15 percent of net units): 8 units o TOTAL ABOVE MODERATE-INCOME UNITS (60 percent of net units): 32 units Assumed Density
HCD recommends that sites identified in the inventory to accommodate the RHNA do not assume build at maximum density. While there is feasible opportunity for maximum density in different areas of the city, land constraints, costs, developm ent regulations and other construction or market constraints make maximum density a challenge for redevelopment. Therefore, the City of Huntington Beach assumes a conservative density of 80 percent of maximum permitted; this was calculated using the following steps:
• Identification of maximum density
• Review of current projects in the pipeline and past development performance • Estimated 80 percent of maximum density assumed to be consistent with existing development trends
Additionally, the City anticipates that developers will more commonly utilize density bonus to increase development opportunity on residential sites. Finally, while the 80 percent is a conservative assumed density, the City recognizes that potentially all projects may be propose d at the maximum permitted density. The City does not typically receive requests to develop lower than permitted densities.
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-14 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Potential constraints, to the extent they are known, such as environmentally sensitive areas and steep slopes were considered, and deductions were made where those factors decreased the net buildable area of a parcel.
Realistic Capacity
As noted throughout this section, the Housing Element assumes that the identified sites will be developed at 80% of the maximum permitted density. To support this assumption, Table B -4 below lists 14 recent residential developments that were constructed at the maximum permitted densit y, except for one specific plan area that does not set a maximum density per parcel. Additional analysis on this topic follows the table below.

The rezone strategy discussed in Section 4 describes three overlays. There are a few differences between each of the overlays. The SP14 Affordable Housing Overlay currently exists within the SP14 document and is proposed to be applied on the identified candidate sites. The Cit ywide Affordable Housing Overlay (HO) is a new overlay that intends to create housing opportunities in well -connected nonresidential areas of the City. The RH overlay utilizes the City’s existing Residential High Density (RH) land use designation to create housing opportunities in existing areas within the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan (SP9). Each of the overlays is discussed below in reference to the ability of development within these overlays to achieve construction at the maximum permitted density.
SP14 Affordable Housing Overlay
The SP14 Affordable Housing Overlay expands an existing overlay within SP14 to be applied throughout the entire specific plan area, including the identified sites inventory. The application of the SP14 Affordable Housing Overlay does not change the existing Zoning and General Plan designations of these sites. SP14 is a mixed-use specific plan that already permits the development of residential uses. The purpose of the overlay is to incentivize residential development by providing for a ministerial entitlement process in addition to regulatory relief of other standards for projects that propose to provide a minimum of 20% of the total units as deed-restricted lower income affordable units. Residential development is still permitted if any of the identified sites were to be developed utilizing the underlying zoning rather than the overlay. As depicted in Table B-4 above, SP14 does not limit density and no maximum density is established within the entire specific plan area. The analysis in Table B-5 describes how the density for each SP14 project was derived. For some projects, the maximum achievable density was determined based on the specific plan’s form-based code and specific lot configurations. For other projects, the resulting density was a product of market and/or financing conditions at the time of development. It is therefore demonstrated and adequately supported that all sites within the SP14 Affordable Housing Overlay exhibit a realistic capacity for achieving development at densities as high as 100 units per acre, with an average of 86 du/ac constructed by these projects. Based on this past performance, the Housing Element assumes development of the SP14 Affordable Housing Overlay sites at 80 du/ac. In addition, the City is currently reviewing a residential project in the existing Overlay proposing a density of 87 units per acre. As such, for purposes of this analysis, an assumption of 80 units per acre is a reasonable and realistic assumption for the SP14 Overlay.
The projects in Table B-4 share several common characteristics with the sites identified for development during the planning period. These characteristics include: existing development consisting of aging commercial buildings (primarily constructed in the 1960’s, ‘70’s and 80’s) with the same use types and similar occupancy rates; assemblage of consolidated l ots; large areas of surface parking; similar site layouts consisting of one and two story buildings generally within a FAR range of 0.2 to 0.4; and location along a SCAG-designated HQTA. The characteristics of the properties already developed within SP14 established a development trend that has extended to sites that are currently under review by the City.
For example, one residential project is proposed on the site of an existing surface parking lot while another residential project under review is proposed on a site with a mix of commercial uses including commercial recreation/entertainment, restaurants, and retail within aging buildings constructed in 1970.
Given the similarities between the previously developed SP14 past performance sites, the sites under review and the sites identified in the site inventory, the City expects that the development trend will continue into the planning period.
Citywide Affordable Housing Overlay (HO)
The Citywide Affordable Housing Overlay (HO) is a new overlay that w ill be applied to properties with existing Zoning designations of Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan (SP9), Research and Technology (RT), and Commercial General (CG) . The Affordable Housing Overlay will not replace the existing Zoning or
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-16 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
General Plan Land Use designations but will be an additional entitlement available to these properties that looks to promote the development of affordable housing through higher density development and the City’s existing inclusionary housing policy. There are no inconsistencies with the base Z oning or General Plan Land Use created by the implementation of this overlay. As supported by the City’s Economic Memo, several factors such as high land value and market forces contribute to the likelihood that these sites will be sold, on- site uses will discontinue, and residential development will occur. The projects in Table B-4 share several common characteristics with the identified sites, such as occupied with oil -oriented uses, non- residential uses, and location along major arteri al roads. It is therefore demonstrated and adequately supported that all sites within the Citywide Affordable Housing Overlay exhibit a realistic capacity for development at maximum density, even though 80% of maximum density has been assumed in accordance with HCD’s preferences.
RH Overlay
The Residential High Density Overlay (RH) utilizes the City’s existing RH land use designation to create housing opportunities in an existing area within the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan (SP9) . This area is approximately 14 contiguous acres total and is occupied by oil-related uses, outdoor storage, and a self- storage facility. The existing General Plan and Zoning designation for the site is SP 9- Industrial.
Application of the RH Overlay will not replace the existing Zoning or General Plan Land Use designations but will be an additional entitlement available to this property to promote the development of housing through higher density development. Table B-4 depicts the City’s past performance of development at maximum density within the RH zone. The Pacific City Apartments project has many characteristics to the SP 9 site, including a larg e contiguous lot size. Additionally, residential development within the vicinity of the SP9 site has occurred at higher densities, demonstrating that market demand for housing at higher densities is present. Refer to Section 3: Constraints and Resources for an analysis of the RH Zone development standards and prototype project demonstrating that these requirements do not act as a constraint to achieving the maximum permitted density.
Further, Program 2A: Adequate Sites within Section 4: Housing Plan also requires the City to continually monitor candidate housing sites and overall development within the City to ensure overall development capacity is maintained via the Annual Progress Reporting process. If the City’s remaining inventory falls below its remaining housing needs, the City will take the appropriate actions to identify additional sites to accommodate the shortfall. Implementation of Program 2A ensures that replacement sites will be identified if any of the candidate sites are developed with non-residential uses or with a project that is lower than the maximum permitted density. The City is committed to the success of the identified sites; however, if timely development of the candidate sites is not achieved, Program 2A is in place to ensure that the sites inventory will be updated to meet the required RHNA capacity.
Affordability Calculations
Huntington Beach’s 2021- 2029 Housing Element sites analysis assumed that each identified candidate housing site will develop at a range of income levels. Primarily it is assumed that sites identified within Table B-14 will redevelop with the following affordability characteristics:
Identified sites which are nonvacant and permit at least 30 du/acre:
• 30% of units available to residents in the low and very low-income categories • 15% of units available to residents in the moderate-income category • 55% of units available to residents in the above moderate-income category
Identified sites which are nonvacant and permit less than 30 du/acre:
• 0% of units available to residents in the low and very low-income categories
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-17 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
• 30% of units available to residents in the moderate-income category • 70% of units available to residents in the above moderate-income category
Identified sites which are City own and permit at least 30 du/acre:
• 100% of units available to residents in the low and very low-income categories • 0% of units available to residents in the moderate-income category • 0% of units available to residents in the above moderate-income category
Huntington Beach recognizes that not all sites within the inventory will develop such that they meet the exact affordability assumptions identified. For example, some sites may develop at a higher density or with varying affordability levels using density bonus incentives, and some may develop with a higher rate of market rate units (units affordable to the moderate and above moderate- income households). For this reason, the City has included an overall buffer of 51 percent on the total number of RHNA units to assist in accommodating potential differences in future housing development and provides additional rezone sites if needed to maintain adequate sites to accommodate the RHNA throughout the planning period. The strategy also includes the following buffers by income category:
• A buffer of 10.2 percent to accommodate low and very low-income units • A buffer of 22 percent to accommodate moderate Income units • A buffer of 109 percent to accommodate above moderate-income units Additionally, the City has established goals, policies, and programs within the Housing Element to identify funding opportunities and work with housing developers to increase opportunities to develop 100 percent affordable projects and increase the overall production of housing at all income levels in the City.
6. Redevelopment of Nonvacant Sites for Residential Use The City of Huntington Beach does not have sufficient vacant land available to accommodate 50 percent of the low/very-low income RHNA. To accommodate the need at all income levels, the City has analyzed sites within non- residentially zoned/developed areas for rezoning to permit residential at a variety of densities.
Lease analysis
The City does not have access to leasing information as these are generally private documents but has conducted an analysis to identify sites that show characteristics indicating they are likely to redevelop within the planning period. The City has had discussions with some property owners to determine interest in redevelopment for residential uses, and on occasion received formal requests to rezone a property. A Loopnet.com (commercial real estate website) survey conducted in May 2022 indicated that approximately 20 si tes within the Beach Edinger Corridor SP and 6 sites along the Gothard St. corridor are vacant and actively marketed for lease. The viability of brick and mortar commercial businesses has significantly decreased in the past decade with the rise of e- commerce.
Redevelopment can often occur in “phases” as the first non- residential property to convert to residential takes the biggest risk. Risk decreases as additional property owners follow suit and more residential development occurs.
Past Performance of Redevelopment of Non- Residential Uses As part of the candidate housing sites analysis, the City has evaluated recent projects that have redeveloped within non-residentially zoned and developed areas that included residential units. Those projects, including the zoning, use prior to redevelopment, and a project analysis of the approved
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-18 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
development plan, are shown in Table B -5. The City’s analysis showed that prior uses on these redeveloped sites were similar in nature to the existing uses on sites identified within the sites inventory in Table B-14 (mainly commercial and light industrial in nature).
The following residential development projects have been constructed on parcels that were either non- residentially zoned or had an existing non-residential use on-site within Huntington Beach. The City has identified primarily commercial parcels within the inventory in Table B -13. The table below is included within the housing element to demonstrate the suitability of the nonvacant sites w ithin the inventory by drawing direct comparisons between the types of parcels the City has seen develop recently in non-residential areas, including both commercial and industrial sites, with the sites in the inventory. As shown in the project analysis, these sites had previous uses which included large commercial centers, gas stations, restaurants, retail stores, car rental/sales lots, multi -tenant strip commercial centers, and offices. These uses are common within the City of Huntington Beach and the City has a history of redeveloping these types of sites for high density residential uses up to 100 dwelling units per acre.

Existing Use on Candidate Sites
The City has also conducted a parcel specific analysis of existing uses for each of the identified sites.
This analysis of existing uses, including indicators of a likelihood that the existing use will redevelop within the next eight years, are provided in Table B-14. This analysis is based on information readily available to the City and research that can be found through online research. The City does not typically have access to private lease information but has included information that property owners have shared regarding individual sites. Additionally, aerial maps with site IDs are provided after Table B-14 showing existing conditions on each site and confirming opportunity for redevelopment.
Market Demand
In addition to an on- the-ground existing use analysis, the City of Huntington Beach has market conditions to facilitate the redevelopment of non-vacant sites for residential. Table B-5 above shows that a total of 1,900 dwelling units have been constructed through redevelopment in the City.
Additionally, a California Association of Realtors report for Historic Housing trends shows that the average time a unit spends on the market in Orange County is just 18.6 days in the last four years (2017-2021) and just 13.3 days in the last two years.
1 Additionally, according to the CAR Current
1 Median time on Market of Existing Detached Homes, Historical Data, California Association of Realtors (CAR), Accessed online: September 28, 2021. https://www.car.org/marketdata/data
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-24 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Sales and Price Statistical Survey, the median cost of a home for sale in Orange County increased by 20 percent from 2020-2021 (from $930,000 in October 2020 to $1,120,000 in October 2021) .2 Both indicators signify an increased market demand for new housing.
To further demonstrate that market and economic conditions exist to support the redevelopment of the non-vacant sites, the C ity commissioned an economic memo for two prototype sites (Appendix D).
Each of the prototype sites is currently developed with structures occupied by various uses (retail, place of worship, surface parking, and industrial outdoor storage). The analysis determined that residential development can be supported on properties that are currently developed with non- residential uses (non-vacant sites). Based on the results of the analysis, the memo concludes that economic characteristics of residential development are strong enough to support redevelopment of existing non-vacant sites. Specifically, the memo determined via pro- forma analysis that developer profit is projected to fall within the typical range currently seen in the market place for residential development. Three development scenarios were analyzed: a project constructing 100% market-rate units, a project constructing 20% lower-income and 80% market-rate units, and a project constructing 10% very -low income and 90% market -rate units. The pro- forma determined that in all three scenarios, the City’s development incentives and development impact fee waivers that are offered to projects that construct affordable housing units completely offset any financial impacts created by the affordable housing requirements.
The greatest return on investment was generated by the project constructing 10% very -low income units. However, the memo concluded that the ministerial approval incentive offered to projects allocating 20% of the units to lower-income households provides benefits that justify accepting a lower threshold return on investment. Overall, this economic memo and pro-forma analysis determines that the existing uses are not an impediment to residential development during the planning period, these uses are likely to discontinue during the planning period, and provides real-world analysis and support for the identification of the non-vacant properties in the sites inventory Relating Past Development Trends to Identified Sites Inventory The sum of the analysis throughout this section regarding redevelopment of nonvacant sites for residential uses supports the conclusion that the existing uses will likely discontinue and are not an impediment to residential development during the planning period. Further, as shown in Table B -3:
Summary of Pipeline Projects, the City is experiencing continued market demand for residential development during the 6 th Cycle. As discussed throughout each section of the Housing Element, Huntington Beach is a predominantly built -out City with a limited supply of vacant land available for development. The sites inventory relies substantially on the redevelopment of non- vacant sites to fulfill RHNA requirements, including lower income housing. The sum of the analysis throughout Appendix B presents substantial evidence that existing uses will not act as impediments to residential development and are likely to discontinue during the planning period.
All non-vacant parcels in the site inventory were chosen because they contain at least two of the following characteristics: low physical utilization of the parcel, existing uses are marginal or discontinued, large surface parking area, vehicular access to a main road, availability of infrastructure/utilities, existing uses do not include condominiums, and redevelopment can accommodate residential development (including lower-income housing).
Table B-5 summarizes residential projects that were constructed or entitled in the City during the 5 th
Cycle. All of these projects were developed on non- vacant sites and constructed deed- restricted affordable housing units.
2 Current Sales and Price Statistics, California Association of Realtors (CAR), Accessed online: September 28, 2021. https://www.car.org/marketdata/data
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-25 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
During the 5 th Cycle, non-vacant sites comprised the vast majority of the proposed residential development in the City. Existing uses that were redeveloped include:
• Single-Family Detached
• Industrial
• Outdoor Storage
• Auto Repair
• Gas Station
• Commercial
• Mixed Commercial/Office
• Mixed Commercial/Industrial
• Educational/School Sites
A majority of the currently entitled and pending projects anticipated for the 6 th Cycle (Table B-3) are also proposed on non-vacant sites. These projects include:
• Cameron Ln. Townhomes: SFD
• Gisler SFD: Former Gisler Elementary School
• Olson Townhomes: MFD (3 detached units)
• Pearce Drive Condos: MFD (9 detached units)
• HB Tri Townhomes: Industrial glass cutting shop and auto storage • Bella Terra Apartments: 182,332 sf anchor tenant retail & commercial units (all occupied) • Garfield SFD: SFD
• NWC Beach & Yorktown: 2 single-story commercial buildings (1 occupied) with surface parking
• 18750 Delaware: Single story medical and office building with surface parking • 7225 Edinger: 2 single-story commercial buildings with surface parking
These projects demonstrate the continued development trend of residential intensification on non- vacant sites. A majority of the sites identified for the 6 th Cycle are non- vacant. Uses that are anticipated to be redeveloped include:
• Industrial
• Auto Repair
• Auto Storage
• Gas Station
• Commercial
• Multi-Family Residential (Note: Only two identified sites are developed with existing MFR . A cumulative total of four rental units are developed between the two parcels.) • Mixed Commercial/Office
• Mixed Commercial/Industrial
• Educational/School Sites
For any site within the inventory that includes residential development, redevelopment will at minimum double the number of existing on- site dwelling units . Additionally, none of the identified sites are currently developed with condominiums.
These projects in the housing development pipeline demonstrate the continued trend of redevelopment and intensified residential development into the 6 th Cycle. In order to continue
facilitating and encouraging the redevelopment of non- vacant sites for residential uses, Program 4E establishes direction for the City to continue to promote development on underutilized land and remove barriers to infill development.

Based on the development trends observed during the 5 th and 6 th Cycles, declining demand for commercial/industrial space, high market demand and developer profitability for residential development, and policies and programs included in the Housing Element, non-vacant sites are likely to discontinue during the planning period.
Several key sites that were selected as most representative of the properties within the identified sites inventory are described in more detail on the following pages.

Site Aerial Street View Image
Description: These five parcels total approximately 1.78 acres in size and have an identified capacity of 42 lower income units and 56 above moderate income units for a total of 98 dwelling units (APNs 165-312-16, -17, -18, -20). These parcels are held by two owners and located within the Beach- Edinger Corridor Specific Plan (SP 14), which does not have a maximum density. Based on past performance of residential development in SP14, Appendix B assumes an average density of 80 du/ac.
The site is currently developed with two commercial buildings, an auto repair building, surface parking lots, industrial outdoor storage, and detached multi -family dwellings. The site is underutilized. The surrounding area is developed with multi-family residential and commercial uses. It is also across the street from Huntington Beach Hospital and its associated medical pavilion complex and is one block west of Huntington Central Park. The parcels have vehicular access to Beach Boulevard, Newman Avenue, and Liberty Drive. Further, Beach Boulevard is a SCAG-designated High-Quality Transit Area (HQTA).
Relating Past Residential Development Trends to the Identified Sites Inventory These parcels share characteristics with several projects identified in Table B -5: Example Development of Non-Vacant Sites for Residential Uses. For example, the site is located within SP14, has frontage on an arterial street, and is located within a SCAG -designated HQTA. Past residential projects within Table B -5 that share these characteristics include Boardwalk, Elan, Monogram, Oceana, HB Lofts, and Beach and Ocean, which cumulatively constructed 1,900 dwelling units, including deed-restricted affordable units in all income categories (Extremely Low: 8 units, Very Low:
42 units, Low: 45 units, Moderate: 173 units; Total: 268 affordable units). This is an average of 15% affordable units developed throughout the SP14 area. Each of these projects also had frontage on a major street (Beach Blvd. or Edinger Ave.), access to utilities, and were occupied with marginal uses similar to these five parcels, including a furniture store, multi -tenant commercial, mixed-commercial and industrial, single-story commercial buildings, and large areas of surface parking.
Further, as shown in Table B-4: Summary of Pipeline Projects, the 18750 Delaware project is located within the SP14 Affordable Housing Overlay. The project was approved ministerial because it proposed to construct 20% of the proposed units as deed- restricted affordable housing. These five parcels identified within the sites inventory are also proposed to be included within the SP14 Affordable Housing Overlay. Ministerial approval is an incentive to develop a high- quality project that also provides on-site affordable units. The 18750 Delaware project also shares other characteristics similar

to the five identified parcels, including frontage on a major street, access to utilities, and was occupied with a commercial building that had a large amount of surface parking area.

Description: This parcel (142- 191-47) totals approximately 1.68 acres in size and has an identified capacity of 60 lower income units and 73 above moderate income units for a total of 133 dwelling units. This parcel is held by a single owner and located within the Beach-Edinger Corridor Specific Plan (SP14), which does not have a maximum density. Based on past performance of residential development in SP14, Appendix B assumes an average density of 80 du/ac. The si te is currently developed with one frees tanding restaurant building, an in- line commercial tenant building, and a surface parking lot. The site is underutilized and does not contain any existing residential units . As depicted above, the multi -tenant commercial building is primarily unoccupied and some of the units are boarded up. End-cap units in multi-tenant buildings are highly sought after and both end-cap units in this building are vacant. The surrounding area is developed with multi -family residential and commercial uses. It is also less than half a mile from local services such as drugstores, grocery stores, restaurants, and banks. T he parcel has vehicular access to Beach Boulevard, which is a SCAG - designated High-Quality Transit Area (HQTA).
Relating Past Residential Development Trends to the Identified Sites Inventory This parcel shares characteristics with several projects identified in Table B-5: Example Development of Non-Vacant Sites for Residential Uses. For example, the site is located within SP14, has frontage on an arterial street, and is located within a SCAG-designated HQTA. Past residential projects within
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-30 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Table B-5 that share these characteristics include Boardwalk, Elan, Monogram, Oceana, HB Lo fts, and Beach and Ocean, which cumulatively constructed 1,900 dwelling units across all income categories from Extremely Low income to Above Moderate income. Each of these projects also had frontage on a major street (Beach Blvd. or Edinger Ave.), access to utilities, and were occupied with marginal uses similar to this parcel , including a furniture store, multi -tenant commercial, single-story commercial buildings, and large areas of surface parking.
Further, as shown in Table B-5: Summary of Pipeline Projects, the 18750 Delaware project is located within the SP14 Affordable Housing Overlay. The project received ministerial approval because it proposed to construct 20% of the proposed units as deed- restricted affordable housing. This parcel identified within the sites inventory is also proposed to be included within the SP14 Affordable Housing Overlay. Ministerial approval is an incentive to develop a high- quality project that also provides on- site affordable units. The 18750 Delaware project also shares other characteristics similar to this parcel, including frontage on a major street, access to utilities, and was occupied with a commercial building that had a large amount of surface parking area.
Overall, the above analysis demonstrates and supports that the existing on- site uses are not an impediment to residential development during the planning period. Market demand for the existing on-site uses is marginal while market demand for residential development is very strong. Past trends and the City’s performance in conversion of non-vacant sites to residential development adequately support the conclusion that the non-vacant parcels identified in the sites inventory will be successfully developed with residential development, including deed-restricted affordable units.

Description: These two parcels total approximately 0.96 acres in size and have an identified capacity of 22 lower income units and 28 above moderate income units for a total of 50 dwelling units (APNs 165-392-43 and 165-392-44). These two parcels are held by a single owner and currently occupied with outdoor vehicle storage, two industrial businesses, and surface parking areas. The site is underutilized and does not contain any existing residential units. The parcels have vehicular access to Gothard Street (a secondary arterial) and access to utilities. The surrounding area is developed with industrial uses to the east and single- family residential to the northwest. It is also across the street from Huntington Central Park and less than half a mile from Ocean View High School and local services such as drugstores, grocery stores, restaurants, and banks.

Each of these past project sites were occupied with industrial uses, including outdoor vehicle storage and other industrial businesses. Each of these projects also had immediate vehicular access to a street, access to utilities, and were occupied with industrial uses similar to these two parcels, including outdoor vehicle storage and other industrial businesses. Additionally, the Luce/Monogram project was also developed with occupied industrial buildings on a portion of the site. As shown in Table B-4: Past Performance of Residential Development Maximum Density, each of the past performance projects constructed a residential development above the maximum permitted density. Additionally, the Garfield project consolidated three small parcels that were acquired by a single owner into a single 0.56 acre parcel for development, similar to the two identified parcels that are each less than 0.50 acres but are collectively held under a single owner.
Further, as shown in Table B -6: Summary of Pipeline Projects , the HB Tri Townhomes project is occupied with an industrial glass cutting shop and auto storage. The HB Tri Townhomes project requested approval of a General Plan Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, and Specific Plan Amendment to change the existing non-residential designation to residential. The two parcels are part of the proposed Citywide Affordable Housing Overlay, which will not require approval of the entitlements listed above in order to construct residential development. The HB Tri Townhomes project also shares other characteristics similar to this parcel, including frontage on a major street, access to utilities, and was occupied with an operating industrial business and outdoor vehicle storage.
Additionally, Table B-4: Past Performance of Residential Development at Maximum Density shows that the HB Tri Townhomes project developed a residential project above the maximum permitted density. The HB Tri Townhomes project also consolidated 12 small parcels that were acquired by a single owner into a s ingle parcel for development, similar to the two identified parcels that are each less than 0.50 acres but are collectively held under a single owner.
Overall, the above analysis demonstrates and supports that the existing on- site uses are not an impediment to residential development during the planning period. Market demand for the existing on-site uses is marginal while market demand for residential development is very strong. Past trends and the City’s performance in conversion of non-vacant sites to residential development adequately support the conclusion that the non-vacant parcels identified in the sites inventory will be successfully developed with residential development, including deed-restricted affordable units.

Description: These four parcels total approximately 107 acres in size and have an identified capacity of 272 lower income units and 328 above moderate income units for a total of 600 dwelling units (APNs 142-072-05, -11, -02, -03). These four parcels are part of the Golden West College (GWC) campus, which is owned by the Coast Community College District. The existing General Plan land use designation is Public and the Zoning designation is Public-Semipublic. The existing designations do not permit residential development. These parcels will be part of the Citywide Affordable Housing Overlay, which enables the GWC campus to continue operating as a higher education institution while capitalizing on vast underutilized areas, such as the parking lots pictured above in the street view image. As shown in the site aerial image above, the GWC campus also has extensive surface parking that fronts Edinger Avenue, Goldenwest Street, and Gothard Street.
The surrounding area is developed with multi-family residential, commercial, single-family residential, and mixed-use properties. It is also located immediately across Gothard Street from the Goldenwest

Transportation Center, which is a bus depot/park and ride center owned and operated by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). The parcels also have vehicular access to Edinger Avenue, Goldenwest Street, and Gothard Street.
Relating Past Residential Development Trends to the Identified Sites Inventory These parcels share characteristics with several projects identified in Table B -5: Example Development of Non-Vacant Sites for Residential Uses . For example, the site has a General Plan land use designation of Public and the Zoning designation is Public -Semipublic. The Sea Dance residential project site was developed with the former Franklin Elementary School. The General Plan land use designation was Public and the Zoning designation was Public-Semipublic. The City Council approved the project’s request for a General Plan Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment to change the applicable designations to Residential Low Density to construct the project. The GWC parcels are part of the proposed Citywide Affordable Housing Overlay, which will not require a Gener al Plan Amendment or Zoning Map Amendment in order to construct residential development.
Additionally, the GWC parcels share other common characteristics with the Sea Dance site, such as large parcel size, vehicular access to several improved streets, and access to utilities. The Sea Dance project constructed a residential development at the maximum permitted density and included on-site affordable ownership housing.
Further, as shown in Table B-7: Summary of Pipeline Projects, the Former Gisler School project site was developed with the former Gisler Elementary School. T he General Plan land use designation was Public and the Zoning designation was Public-Semipublic. Similar to the Sea Dance project, the Gisler School project required approval of a GPA and ZMA to proceed. The GWC parcels are part of the proposed Citywide Affordable Housing Overlay, which will not require a General Plan Amendment or Zoning Map Amendment in order to construct residential development. T he Gisler School project developed the site at the maximum permitted density. The Gisler School project also shares other characteristics similar to the GWC parcels, including large parcel size (14 acres), vehicular access to several improved streets, and access to utilities.
Overall, the above analysis demonstrates and supports that the existing on- site uses are not an impediment to residential development during the planning period. Market demand for residential development is very strong within the City of Huntington Beach. Discussions with GWC Administration and GWC’s Comprehensive Master Plan demonstrate that GWC is planning to operate a community college campus and residential apartments simultaneously during the 6 th Cycle planning period. Past
trends and the City’s performance in conversion of non- vacant sites to residential development adequately support the conclusion that the non-vacant parcels identified in the sites inventory will be successfully developed with residential development, including deed-restricted affordable units.

Description: These six parcels total approximately 1.85 acres in size and have an identified capacity of 25 lower income units and 30 above moderate income units for a total of 55 dwelling units (APNs 111-120-29, -20, -19, -18, -17, -16). These six parcels are held by a single owner and currently occupied with outdoor vehicle storage and industrial oil-related uses. The parcels are underutilized and do not contain any existing residential units. The parcels have vehicular frontage to a major arterial street (Garfield Ave.) in addition to Stewart Lane; the sites also have access to utilities . The surrounding area is developed with i ndustrial uses to the north, east, and south; single-family residential and commercial development is located to the west. The parcels are less than half a mile from Seacliff Elementary School and local services such as grocery stores, gyms, hair salons, restaurants, and banks.
Relating Past Residential Development Trends to the Identified Sites Inventory These parcels share characteristics with several projects identified in Table B -5: Example Development of Non-Vacant Sites for Residential Uses. For example, the parcels are located within the Holly-Seacliff Specific Plan (SP9). A large portion of the specific plan area is developed with residential uses on former industrial and oil land. The SP9 area has a past performance of residential
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-36 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
development at (or above) maximum density. Recent past residential projects within Table B -5 including Holly Townhomes, Gothard Townhomes, and Garfield Condos are all located within SP9 and were constructed at or above the maximum permitted density. This demonstrates that market demand for residential development exists within the SP9 area and land values have supported the conversion of occupied industrial properties to multi-family residential.
The six identified parcels share several characteristics wit h the Holly Townhomes, Gothard Townhomes, and Garfield Condos projects, including occupied with various industrial uses (outdoor vehicle storage and oil-related uses), frontage on an arterial street and/or local street, and has access to utilities. The SP9 past performance projects cumulatively constructed 63 dwelling units, including deed-restricted affordable ownership units. Additionally, the Garfield project consolidated three small parcels that were acquired by a single owner into a single 0.56 acre parcel for development . This is similar to the six identified parcels; five of the six are less than 0.50 acres but are collectively held under a single owner. Each of the SP9 past performance projects constructed residential development above the maximu m permitted density, as listed in Table B -4: Past Performance of Residential Development at Maximum Density
Further, as shown in Table B -8: Summary of Pipeline Projects , the HB Tri Townhomes project is occupied with an industrial glass cutting shop and auto storage. The HB Tri Townhomes project requested approval of a General Plan Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, and Specific Plan Amendment to change the existing non-residential designation to residential. The six parcels are part of the proposed RH Overlay, which will not require approval of the entitlements listed above in order to construct residential development. The HB Tri Townhomes project also shares other characteristics similar to this site, including frontage on a major street, access to utilities, and was occupied with an operating industrial business and outdoor vehicle storage. Additionally, the HB Tri Townhomes project consolidated 12 small parcels that were acquired by a single owner into a single parcel for development. This is similar to the six identified parcels; five of the six are less than 0.50 acres but are collectively held under a single owner. The HB Tri Townhomes project constructed residential development above the maximum permitted density, as listed in Table B -4: Past Performance of Residential Development at Maximum Density.
Overall, the above analysis demonstrates and supports that the existing on- site uses are not an impediment to residential development during the planning period. Market demand for the existing on-site uses is marginal while market demand for residential development is very strong. Past trends and the City’s performance in conversion of non-vacant sites to residential development adequately support the conclusion that the non-vacant parcels identified in the sites inventory will be successfully developed with residential development, including deed-restricted affordable units.
Replacement Analysis
A total of one of the nonvacant sites (identified to accommodate the lower income RHNA) have existing residential units. Table B-14 contains a detailed description of the existing use. The site is currently a market rate housing development, the owner has expressed desire to increase density and redevelopment for new or additional housing. The site does not include affordable deed restricted housing units. Additionally, unit capacity on this site was calculated by removing existing units from the net total units if the site were to be redeveloped. Therefore, any existing residential units would not be displaced by the City’s capacity assumptions.

7. Development of Small and Large Site Parcels
Small Sites
The City of Huntington Beach has identified a total of 186 candidate housing sites that are smaller than half an acre in size, total 831 units in the lower income category, 372 units in the moderate- income category and 1,598 units in the above moderate- income category . Assembly Bill 1397 identifies general size requirements for candidate housing sites of greater than half an acre and less than 10 acres in size. The City has only identified sites smaller than half an acre that show the likelihood of redeveloping in conjunction with other parcels that collectively meet the half acre requirement. The likelihood of redevelopment was based primarily on common ownership amongst adjacent parcels that share a property line or developer interest in lot consolidation, shared owner, and development propensity analysis for sites smaller than .5 acres can be found in Table B-5 below.
Table B-5 lists 31 “clusters” of adjacent small s ite parcels. Figure B -14 through Figure B-19 displays aerial images of the small sites. The images and Table B-5 show the following results:
• Each site is well connected to a street or highway grid • Each small site is adjacent to additiona l small sites which have a high opportunity for consolidation and redevelopment
• Majority of the small sites are adjacent to sites which are at least one acre, many of which are primarily pave surface parking in commercial or business centers • The maps show that the small sites chosen are not islands, instead they well connected to existing infrastructure and one another. Though they are not larger than .5 acres, each can be consolidated and redeveloped for residential or mixed uses. • 12 of the small site parcel clusters are held by a single owner, which supports the likelihood of redevelopment.
Small site parcel clusters with more than one owner are likely to redevelop due to:
• High land value that is currently underutilized
o Clusters are under -performing properties (i.e. sea of surface parking, single -tenant commercial buildings, aging industrial, outdoor storage, etc.) • Existing uses are likely to discontinue during the planning period as property owners seek to capitalize on high land value
• Site-specific low barriers to redevelopment
o All clusters have street frontage access to at least one major street and ability to utilize existing utilities/infrastructure
o All clusters are within the Beach Edinger Corridor Specific Plan (SP14) Affordable Housing Overlay, Citywide Affordable Housing Overlay, or Residential High Density Zone, which allow for the development of higher density residential projects. The development potential permitted by these zoning designations supports the economics of site redevelopment into new higher density residences. • Past Performance with Lot Consolidation
o Several past projects required acquisition of lan d from multiple property owners and the sites were also non-vacant.
o The economic potential of redeveloping these sites incentivized developers to acquire adjacent small sites for consolidation into a larger residential project.
Additionally, the City has a past performance of lot consolidation for single use development on small parcels, past performance is shown below in Table B-6.

Large Sites
The City has identified five sites in the site inventory to accommodate 370 units estimated to affordable to low and very low -income households. The City will work with local developers, market rate and affordable, to utilize the opportunity sites to their highest potential for new housing. Additionally, the City of Huntington Beach is a built -out community, with few lots larger than 10 acres remaining, however, as development continues the large sites provide the most opportunity for subdivision and redevelopment as they provide an appropriate amount of land.
Golden West College
Three of the large sites are part of Golden West College (GWC). Through discussions with GWC administration, the sites inventory has identified a maximum of 600 units that could develop across the GWC site during the planning period, in accordance with GWC’s Comprehensive Master Plan that has a horizon year of 2030. GWC has several potential locations to develop units on the site due to the property’s large size. Development of residential units at GWC will build upon Coast Community College District’s successful development of a multi -family residential project on the Orange Coast College (OCC) campus in Costa Mesa. Similar to the OCC development, GWC will construct and operate the housing units on its property. The housing units on the GWC site are intended to be available to the general public.
The GWC site is located in a high resource area. GWC’s location along the Edinger Ave. corridor has efficient access to SCAG-designated HQTA, the Goldenwest Transit Center, and car travel via the 405 freeway. Development of housing on the GWC property will provide lower income households access to education, technical certificates to increase household income and improve labor market engagement, and immediate proximity to high- quality jobs on the college campus and surrounding area. Intentionally planning for development of residential units on this site will improve upward mobility for lower income households and continue to foster diverse, mixed-income areas throughout all areas of the City.
Regency Palms Redevelopment
This site is identified due to property owner interest in redevelopi ng the site at a higher density.
Development of the site with additional housing units will improve conditions for lower income households. The site is located in a moderate resource area and adjacent to high resource areas.
Identification of this site to accommodate a portion of the City’s lower income RHNA will improve upward economic mobility and produce better environmental/health opportunities for low and moderate income households.
The property owner submitted a letter of interest in site redevelopment and support of a higher zoning designation for the site. In addition, the property owner has shared site plan concepts showing how the site would be reconfigured to accommodate the proposed units. The site does not currently contain any deed- restricted affordable housing units. Site redevelopment will trigger the City’s inclusionary housing ordinance, thus creating new deed- restricted affordable housing units and increasing the City’s affordable housing stock.
The redevelopment of the site will oc cur in compliance with SB 330 requirements. Pursuant to SB 330, any developer of a proposed project on this site is required to provide occupants residing in existing protected units relocation benefits and a right of first refusal for a comparable unit available in the new housing development affordable to the household at an affordable rent or affordable housing cost.
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-47 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Frontier Industrial Yard
Lastly, APN 111-010-39 is 10.1 acres and currently occupied as an industrial service yard with a large portion of vacant land and few buildings. This site has been identified due to several years of developer interest in pursuing a residential project. Prior discussions with the property owner have focused on potential site development and that the existing land use designation is non-residential.
While there was express developer interest in constructing multifamily residential on the site, the existing industrial land use designation prevented potential projects from starting the development process. The City will reduce associated barriers to multifamily residential development such as risk, time, and cost by including the site in the Affordable Housing Overlay. Applying the Affordable Housing Overlay to the site means that the Zoning to permit a multifamily residential project will be in place and applications for land use changes are not necessary. This results in at least $100,000 in cost savings and at least 12 months of review time savings for developers. The Affordable Housing Overlay streamlines the entitlement process for multifamily residential development by providing a ministerial review process. A ministerial review process does not require a public hearing, which reduces developer risk and decreases project time to construction.
Development pursuant to the Affordable Housing Overlay requires a minimum of 20% of the units to be deed-restricted affordable units. The incentive of ministerial review and other provisions of the Affordable Housing Overlay assists developers in providing lower income units as part of a residential project. The site’s large size is attractive to developers because Huntington Beach is a built -out community with few lots larger than 10 acres remaining. This site provides the most opportunity for subdivision and redevelopment as it provides an appropriate amount of land to accommodate a cohesive mixed-income development that includes lower income units.
The 10.17 acre size of the site will facilitate multi -family residential development, including the provision of affordable (lower income) residential, due to availability of utilities, vehicular access to two arterial streets, and Housing Element programs that facilitate innovative lot subdivision configurations and streamline the residential review proces s. The property has immediate availability of utilities including water, sewer, and electric. The site is just over 10 acres (10.17 acres). The site has vehicular access to two primary arterial streets, Slater Ave. and Gothard St. The property has over 1,000 feet of street frontage along Slater Ave. The wide frontage makes the property uniquely ideal for a lot split or multiple lot splits to potentially tailor a site for competitive funding to develop a 100 percent affordable project. It also allows for construction of a variety of multifamily residential product types.
The City is committed to facilitating lot splits during the planning period by implementing Program 4D:
Small Lot Ordinance Amendment and Program 4E: Zoning Code Maintenance. Program 4D will review and amend the existing Small Lot Ordinance to accommodate contemporary housing and subdivision lot configurations, as well as more attainable housing products and feasible project financing. Program 4E will focus on residential processing procedures and other residential code provisions and propose amendments that will result in reduced processing times and costs. Both of these programs will help facilitate multifamily residential development on the Frontier site. These programs are intended to streamline the development process while facilitating innovative subdivision lot configurations. Further, Table B -8 demonstrates that the City has a track record in facilitating lot splits, including the Brightwater, Fairwind, and Pacific Shores residential developments.
Additionally, there are no environmental constraints known that would constrain the development of housing on the Frontier site during the planning period. Aerial imagery of the site demonstrates the site is primarily utilized as parking/fleet vehicle storage with a few large storage containers. The fleet vehicles (small vans) are kept at the site until they are dispatched to other areas. The majority of business activity at the site occurs within the four office buildings.
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-48 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Further, the site is able to accommodate a portion of the City’s RHNA for lower income households.
As detailed in Table B-5 below, the City’s past performance with residential development on sites at least 10 acres in size resulted in on-site production of affordable housing units, including units available to very low income households. Development of this site will affirmatively further fair housing for lower income households because of its proximity to key resources, including high-performing schools, jobs along the adjacent Gothard St. corridor. The site directly abuts Huntington Central Park, a 350-acre park with many community facilities such as the Central Library, Senior Center, Sports Complex, an Urban Forest, Nature Center, fitness and walking t rails and multiple passive and active recreation areas to promote healthy lifestyles and improve environmental justice. For example, the site is approximately 0.4 miles (within walking distance) to Golden View Elementary School, Mesa View Middle School, and Ocean View High School. The Ocean View High School campus also includes the Huntington Beach Adult School (HBAS). HBAS provides educational resources for adults that allow them to achieve career and educational goals, such as GED programs, English learner classes, and career training classes in diverse fields like medical assistant, accounting clerk, and notary public.
The Frontier site’s proximity to these educational resources will assist lower income households in achieving upward economic mobility through education and career training.
The Frontier site is located along the Gothard Street corridor. The City’s Economic Development Division has noted that this area has the highest concentration of jobs within the City. Close proximity to a wide variety of jobs will benefit lower income households by improving their financial and economic conditions. The site is also one block from Beach Boulevard. This area of Beach Boulevard provides many job opportunities and daily needs, including Huntington Beach Hospital and its medical complex, offices, retail, grocery stores, and other services. The walkability of this area will benefit working families that can walk to nearby schools (elementary through high school), jobs, and businesses for daily needs.
Additionally, the Frontier site is immediately adjacent to Huntington Central Park. Huntington Central Park is home to the City’s Central Library and Senior Center. These facilities provide community resources and programming, including meals and health screenings for seniors, afterschool homework help for junior high students, and inclusive bilingual Spanish/English story time for kids and parents.
Huntington Central Park also provides a multitude of recreational amenities, including four playgrounds, a nature center, disc golf course, horseshoes, dog park, and an equestrian center.
Immediate access to Huntington Central Park, the Senior Center, and Central Library will promote healthy lifestyles and improve environmental justice for lower income households.
Overall, development of the Frontier site will affirmatively further fair housing for lower income households because of its proximity to key community resources. This includes being walking distance to high-performing schools, jobs, services, and daily needs along the adjacent Gothard St. corridor and nearby Beach Blvd. Access to these types of resources will contribute to upward economic mobility. The Frontier site is also adjacent to Huntington Central Park, Central Library, and Senior Center. Proximity to these community resources and facilities promote healthy lifestyles and improve environmental justice. Identification of the Frontier site to accommodate the RHNA intentionally improves conditions for lower income households.
In addition to the analysis above, the City has a past performance of subdividing and developing sites larger than ten acres, as shown in Table B-
8 below.

The City’s past performance with development of residential projects on large sites demonstrates that the sites identified in this section can adequately assist the City in accommodating its RHNA for lower-income housing. Past projects on large sites have been on vacant and non-vacant sites, provided on- site affordable housing, acquired/rehabilitated off -site affordable units, and constructed both rental and ownership units. The past performance large sites identified above were developed prior to newer housing legislation and incentives for development, such as Density Bonus. The three large sites identified are likely to produce affordable units due to the City’s inclusionary zoning requirements , the incentives associated with the proposed zoning designations for these sites, and the higher densities permitted by the zoning designations .
Factors such as high cost of land, construction materials, and labor contribute to the likelihood that projects on the identified large sites will utilize the incentives of the proposed zoning designations to construct housing units on the properties, including affordable units as required by the City’s inclusionary zoning ordinance as well as the proposed zoning designations . The City’s inclusionary zoning ordinance requires a minimum of 10% of all new dwelling units to be reserved as deed-restricted affordable units. All proposed developments, including on the three identified large sites, will be required to satisfy any and all inclusionary zoning requirements.
The City has extensive experience in developing housing units on educational properties. While many past projects were developed on closed school sites, the GWC site is an active education facility that will provide increased opportunities to lower income households. The development of multi-family housing on the GWC campus will provide housing available to households of all income levels in a high resource area, which assists the City in affirmatively furthering fair housing.
This development can realistically accommodate its assumed portion of the City’s lower income RHNA as it builds upon Coast Community College District’s successful development of a multi - family residential project on the Orange Coast College campus in Costa Mesa.

8. Accessory Dwelling Uni ts
Accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, are housing units that may be developed in addition to an existing single- or multi-family residential use. These housing units can be free- standing or attached to a primary structure and are intended to provide additional housing on an existing residential lot. Often ADUs provide housing for family members or are rented to members of the community. In accordance with State law, ADUs are allowed in all zones that allow single dwelling unit or multiple dwelling unit development in the City; Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) are permitted only in single dwelling unit zones.
As a result of new legislation and an increased effort by the City to promote ADUs, Huntington Beach has seen an average year over year ADU increase of 80 percent from 2018 to 2020. In 2018, the City permitted 13 ADUs, followed by 28 in 2019 and 31 in 2020 – a total increase of 138 percent between 2018 and 2020. In 2021, the C ity experienced a year over year increase of 9 0 percent with 5 9 permitted ADUs.
The City of Huntington Beach has determined based on past performance that it is appropriate to anticipate the development of 487 ADUs from 2021 to 2029. Table B-9 below displays the calculation and estimated projection for the 8- year planning period. This estimation is based off the following calculations:
• Total ADU permitting increase from 2018 to 2020: 138 percent • Average increase from 2018 to 2020: 80 percent
• 2020-2021 Increase of 70 percent
• 32 ADUs permitted from 1/1/2022 – 5/12/2022

Table B-9 provides conservative production targets for ADUs during the 6 th Cycle planning period.
The following information is provided to support the City’s production assumptions for the planning period, including past permit data since 2017 when state ADU laws were implemented to streamline the process and increase ADU production. The information also includes data covering the 6 th Cycle
planning period from October 15, 2021 through July 8, 2022 to demonstrate that the City is on track to exceed the ADU production assumptions listed in Table B-9.
The City is actively monitoring its ADU performance during the 6 th Cycle planning period. The data below in Table B -10 demonstrates that the City’s ADU performance is on track to exceed the projections assumed to satisfy the RHNA requirements. The City has received applications to develop 90 ADUs between January 1, 2022 and July 8, 2022. The ADU production assumptions in Table B-9 are conservative because they were developed based on ADU permit data from January 1, 2022 through May 12, 2022 while Table B -10 below demonstrates that the City has received a significant increase in ADU permit volume since May 12, 2022. Further, ADU permit data from 2017- 2019 indicates that an average of 74% of all ADU applications received are “finaled”, meaning that the ADU is constructed and ready for residential occupancy. Using this average, the City is on track to produce 66 ADUs in the first half of 2022, which exceeds the entire calendar year projection of 62 ADUs.

The City’s 6
th Cycle performance further demonstrates and supports the ADU production assumptions in Table B-9. As depicted in Table B-10, the City has received 115 applications to construct a total of 123 ADUs thus far in the 6th Cycle. The City’s past performance ADU construction average supports the assumption that of the 123 ADUs proposed during the planning period to date, at least 74% ( 91 ADUs) will be constructed and approved for occupancy. Program 2E commits the City to monitoring ADU production annually to ensure that production estimates are achieved.
Permit Process
In the first six months of 2022 (through July 8, 2022), permits were initiated for 90 ADUs, which are in various stages of the permit process. Many ADU applications are submitted by residential property owners that do not have experience with construction or the permitting process. Lack of familiarity
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-53 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
with the plan review process and requirements can lead to increased time and costs due to plan check corrections and multiple rounds of plan submi ttals. To expedite the time experienced from permit application submittal to permit issuance, the City will implement Program 2D to provide permit -ready ADU plans. This will provide property owners with an accessible and simple path to begin construction on their ADU even faster. The permit process will also become more efficient for City staff because the plans are pre- approved and require less staff review time. Based on the volume of permit applications received thus far in the 6 th Cycle, the City anticipates a continued substantial annual increase in ADU permit volume throughout the planning period. The permit-ready ADU plans provided by Program 2D will enable City staff to absorb the higher volume of permit activity with its existing staff resources. Overall, the quantity of ADU permit applications received so far in the 6 th Cycle and the
City’s successful track record regarding ADU construction in conjunction with Program 2D support the ADU assumptions in Table B-9 and will result in an expedited ADU permit process.
Local ADU Trends
Several other local trends support ADU development during the planning period. For example, local trends in ADU development demonstrate that an increased number of multi -family properties are constructing ADUs. 6th Cycle permit monitoring data indicates that approximately 40% of all ADU applications and total quantity of ADUs are proposed on parcels that have a multi -family zoning designation.
Other local trends in ADU development support the assumptions in Table B -9. Recent permit data demonstrates that many newly constructed ADUs are sited above existing garages in small lot areas.
Additionally, many single-family properties on standard lots propose to convert their existing garage to ADUs, convert existing living space to an ADU, or construct a detached ADU in the front or rear yard. Further, while some property owners may choose to finance ADU construction themselves, market conditions are optimal for ADU financing. High household incomes combined with high land values incentivize property owners to capitalize on their home equity and generate a return on their investment by constructing an ADU. These local trends in ADU development and other local factors further supports the ADU assumptions to achieve the RHNA.
For the purposes of this projection exercise, the City assumes a percentage of ADUs develop affordably based on ADU Affordability Assumptions produced by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). SCAG conducted analysis consists of the following steps:
• Calculating maximum rent limits for RHNA income categories for one-person and two person households by county
• Conduct survey of rents for ADUs in the SCAG region
• Use survey data to determine proportion of ADUs within each income category • Create assumption of how many persons will occupy each ADU, finalize proportions Using the proportions SCAG created for Orange County, the City has allocated the following ADUs for each income category:
Table B-11: Accessory Dwelling Unit Projections by Income Category Income Category Units
Low and Very Low Income (63%) 307 units
Above Moderate Income (2%) 10 units
Moderate Income (35%) 170 units
Total 487 units

To assist in reaching the City’s ADU development projections, Huntington Beach has included Programs 2D and 2E, which explores actions the City will take to promote and incentivize the development of ADUs during the planning period. As outlined in the program, these actions may include:
• Implementation of a permit ready ADU program
• Waiving specific permitting fees to make ADU development more feasible • Creating an expedited plan check review process to ease the process for homeowners • Explore potential State and Regional funding sources for affordable ADUs
9. Lodging, Hotel , and Motel Conversion
In addition to the sites identified for development and redevelopment, the City has also identified 3 sites for opportunity for Hotel/Motel Conversion. HCD allocates funding for the redevelopment of hotel and motel properties for permanent housing. Per HCD’s website, “Homekey ” is an opportunity for state, regional, and local public entities to develop a broad range of housing types, including but not limited to hotels, motels, hostels, single- family homes and multifamily apartments, adult residential facilities, and manufactured housing, and to convert commercial properties and other existing buildings to Permanent or Interim Housing for the Target Population. The City anticipates the use of Projec t HomeKey funds on several properties within Huntington Beach.
On December 28
th, 2021, the City submitted an application for funds in order to obtain its first HomeKey property. On February 16th, 2022, the City was awarded $17 million for their project and are planning to use seed funds to acquire the property by the summer of 2022. After acquisition, the City plans to rehab the property and would use it for transitional housing for at least five years. Eventually, the development would be used for permanent supportive housing for the City.
The following sites have been identified for opportunity for conversion to residential at a low and very low-income affordability.

B. Water, Sewer and Dry Utility Availability
Appendix B: Adequate Sites Analysis [DRAFT November March 20232] Page B-55 Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
Huntington Beach Housing Element Update
1. Water Service
The City of Huntington Beach’s water service area population was 201,327 in 2020 and is projected to increase to 207,402 by 20403. Additionally, the RHNA allocation as determined by HCD and SCAG projects a total growth need of 13,368 units through 2029. The City relies on a combination of local groundwater, and imported water to meet its water needs. The City works with three primary agencies, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) , Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC), and Orange County Water District ( OCWD) to ensure reliable water supply. The City of Huntington Beach relies primarily on groundwater wells located throughout the City for water supply. The City pays a replenishment assessment to the Orange County Water District for each acre- foot of water taken from the groundwater basin. The balance of the City’s water demand is met with imported water delivered by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
As the City has developed, it has correspondingly increased its number of connections, installed more wells, built a series of reser voirs, and greatly expanded the transmission and distribution system to meet the water service requirements of a growing number of customers. Additionally, all sites identified within this section to accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation are within the City’s water service area or are already connected to the system (non-vacant sites). The City will work with the water providers to ensure that housing developed for low and very low -income households received priority service connection (Program 2G).
2. Sewer Service
The City operates and maintains the local sewer system consisting of approximately 360 miles of pipeline and 27 sewer lift stations that connect to OCSD's trunk system to convey wastewater to OCSD's treatment plants.4 The City’s main plants have the following capacity:
• Plant No. 2 in Huntington Beach: 312 MGD
3. Dry Utilit ies
Utilities services for gas are provided by Southern California Gas Company (SCGC) and electricity are provided by Southern California Edison (SCE). In accordance with the California Public Utilities Commission and in compliance with SCE’s “Rules for the sale of electric energy” all electric and gas service will be provided for future development in the City of Huntington Beach as requested.
C. Adequate Sites Table and Supplemental Maps
Table B -14 below displays the sites identified to accommodate Huntington Beach’s RHNA at all income levels plus a 50% buffer if needed to maintain adequate sites to meet the RHNA throughout the planning period. Following the sites table, additional maps are provided which display all the sites identified to accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation.
