RESOLUTION NO. 1728
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH FINDING THE VACATION OF A 46 SQ. FT. OF EXISTING RIGHT-OF-WAY AT THE EAST SIDE OF THIRD STREET (AT 302 THIRD STREET),
NORTH OF OLIVE AVENUE, IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE GOALS AND
POLICIES OF THE GENERAL PLAN
(GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE NO. 23-002)
WHEREAS, the Government Code of the State of California, Section 65402, provides that a local agency shall not acquire real property, nor dispose of any real property, nor construct a public building or structure in any county or city until the location, purpose, and extent of such activity has been reported upon as to conformity with the adopted General Plan; and WHEREAS, staff has reviewed the subject request and submitted it to the Planning Commission for review on July 25, 2023; and
Council Vestions o. 450 a ins sated anticabli Genera an goes and polices to establish conformance with the General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission of the City of Huntington Beach finds the proposed vacation of existing right-of-way upon subject property is exempt from CEQA and in conformance with the goals and policies of the General Plan as follows:
A. Land Use Element
Policy LU-1 (A): Ensure that development is consistent with the land use designations presented in the Land Use Map, including density, intensity, and use standards applicable to each land use designation.
The vacation of a 46 sq. ft. portion of existing right-of-way will not impair public use of the adjacent street, sidewalk and on-street parking spaces or the City's ability to maintain those facilities. In addition, vacating the 46 sq. ft. portion of existing right-of-way and reversion of the square footage to the adjacent property owner will not change the density of the subject property or surrounding properties as allowed by the General Plan Land Use Map.
B. Circulation Element
Goal CIRC-1 (A): The circulation system supports existing, approved, and planned land uses while maintaining a desired level of service and capacity on streets and at critical intersections.
Policy CIRC-1 (J: Investigate current jurisdictional control of roadways and determine where adjustments may be made in the future.
Goal CIRC-6: Connected, well-maintained, and well-designed sidewalks, bike lanes, equestrian paths, and waterways allow for both leisurely use and day-to-day required activities in a safe and efficient manner for all ages and abilities.
C. Coastal Element
Objective CE 2.1: Balance the circulation system with the circulation demands generated by the implementation of the Coastal Land Use Plan.
The subject area to be vacated is not essential for the provision of right-of-way infrastructure (i.e. - pedestrian and vehicular access) to meet the needs of the public in a safe manner consistent with City standards. The vacation of the 46 sq. ft. right-of-way area will not reduce capacity of the surrounding streets or remove existing on-street parking in the Coastal Zone.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED by the Planning Commission of the City of Huntington Beach at a regular meeting held on the Twenty-Fifth day of July 2023, by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Acosta-Galvan, Adam, Rodriguez, Wood, Twining, Kennedy NOES: None
ABSENT: Pellman
