City Council Meeting – Co uncil Member Items Report

From: Gracey Van Der Mark, Mayo r
Pat Burns, Mayor Pro Tem
Casey McKeon, Council Member
Date: July 2, 2024
Subject: PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENT – ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS

FOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS

2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 | www.huntingtonbeachca.gov

ISSUE STATEMENT
The City Council has a duty to protect the Ci ty's environment and typically does so by complying with the State’s environmental laws set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). As we have seen with recent State mandates for high-density housing, the State of California is imposing a draconian development policy on our City that demonstrates a disregard for our precious environment, natural resources, quality of life, and even for CEQA.

The environmental review of the City’s proposed 2023 Housing Element update revealed that the State's high-density housing quota of 13,368 new units, which translates to 41,000 new units at a 20% inclusionary rate of deve lopment, would present several "significant and unavoidable" negative impacts to ou r environment. Those impacts include permanent reduction in our groundwater su pply, permanent increase in greenhouse gases and air pollutants, permanent noise po llution, increased traffic and congestion, and threats to our local wildlife and natural undeveloped regions such as wetlands and large parks. The official Environmental Revi ew document is attached to this item as Exhibit A.

Further, as part of the City’s Housing Element update, the State expects the City Council to adopt a Statement of Overriding Consider ations that essentially states that "the benefits of the State's proposed high-density housing of 13,368 new units outweighs the known significant and unavoidable negative impacts to the City's environment." The proposed Statement of Overriding Considerations that identifies the harm to our environment is attached to this item as Exhibit B.

In April 2023, the City Council was unable to make or adopt this Statement of Overriding Considerations and made clear on the record their unwillingness to "sell out" the City's environment in favor of the Stat e's misguided and onerous high-density development demands. The people of Huntington Beach should have a voice in whether the exchange of the City's current pristine environmental conditions for the State's high-density housing mandates is acceptable. Further, the residents of Huntington 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 | www.huntingtonbeachca.gov

Beach should decide if they are willing to live with the long-term permanent negative impacts to the City's environment that ar e presented by the State's high-density development scheme.

The City has Constitutional rights under Articl e XI, Section 5 of the California Constitution for local control, just as the City Charter currently sets forth in its Preamble and Sections 103 and 104, that local control, known as "home rule," applies to municipal affairs. For decades, and even now, California law has re cognized that a Charter City's planning and zoning of its land is a local, "municipal affair," beyond the reach of State interference and control. This concept was reaffi rmed in a recent decision in the City of Redondo Beach, et al., v. Rob Bonta , in his capacity as California Attorney General, Case No. 22STCP1143 (2024), where the State was stopped from imposing its zoning policies on Charter Cities and the State's SB 9 was declar ed unconstitutional as applied to Charter Cities.

The City Charter Preamble states "We, the people of the City of Huntington Beach, State of California believe fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds is essential for confidence in government, that ethics and integrity are the foundation of public trust and that just governance is built upon these values. Through the enactment of this Charter as the fundamental law of the City of Huntington Beach under the Constitution of the State of California, we do hereby exercise the privilege of retaining for ourselves, the benefits of local government, by enacting the laws, rules, regulations and procedures set forth herein pertaining to the governance and operation of our City. It is incumbent upon those who govern and make decisions for and on behalf of the City of Huntington Beach to legally, as well as morally, abide by the provisions of this Charter, in its strictest sense, to ensure the continued success and well-being of our fair City." Huntington Beach City Charter Section 103 states "The City shall have the power to make and enforce all laws and regulations in respect to municipal affairs, subject only to such restrictions and limitations as may be provided in this Charter or in the Constitution of the State of California."
Huntington Beach City Charter Section 104 states "The general grant of power to the City under this Charter shall be construed broadly in favor of the City. The specific provisions enumerated in this Charter are intended to be and shall be interpreted as limitations upon the general grant of power and shall be construed narrowly. If any provisions of this Charter, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the Charter and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby."

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Place on the November 2024 Ballot a proposed Charter Amendment stating that "No City initiated general plan amendment or zoning change may be approved by the City where the related environmental review (EIR ) finds the same proposed general plan update or zoning change presents "signifi cant and unavoidable" negative impacts to the environment, without first receiving approval by a vote of the people." The proposed 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 | www.huntingtonbeachca.gov

Charter Amendment should include language to the effect of "City Planning and Zoning is a local, "municipal affair," beyond the re ach of State control or interference; and City Planning and Zoning is a local activity reserved for the City and its people, and not the State."
Direct staff to bring back a proposed November 2024 ballot initiative within thirty (30) days for City Council approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS
This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not re sult in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has not potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL
Goal 5 - Housing, Strategy A - Take action to maintain local control of land-use planning.

City of Huntington Beach Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report 2021- 2029 HEU Findings of Fact/ Statement of Overriding Considerations

1. 0 INTRODUCTION
This document presents the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations that must be adopted by the City of Huntington Beach ( City) pursuant to the requirements of Sections 15091 and 15093, respectively, of the CEQAGuidelines prior to the approval of the City of of Huntington Beach 2021- 2029 Housing Element Update ( otherwise referred to as " HEU" or the" Project").

This document is organized as follows:

Chapter 1 Introduction to the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations.

Chapter 2 CEQA Findings of the Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report ( Draft SEIR), including the identified significant cumulative impacts.

Chapter 3 Summarizes the alternatives to the Project and evaluates them in relation to the findings contained in Section 15091( a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. The City must consider and make findings regarding alternatives when a project would involve environmental impacts that cannot be reduced to a less than significant level, or cannot be substantially reduced, by proposed mitigation measures.

Chapter 4 Statement of Overriding Considerations, as required by Section 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines, for significant impacts of a proposed project that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level.

The Housing Element, which is a component of the Huntington Beach General Plan, provides direction for implementation of various programs to meet existing and projected future housing needs for all income levels within Huntington Beach. 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 when accounting for existing applications and projects that are currently under review).

State housing law requires the City to specify the number of housing units that can realistically be 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 Project, as defined for CEQApurposes, consists of the Housing Program to accommodate the lower- income RHNA units, including amendments to existing land use designations and zoning districts, an affordable housing overlay, and identification of underutilized, residentially- zoned parcels in an inventory of 378 candidate housing sites.

The HousingProgramspecificallyaddressedin the SEIRincludes amendments to the Huntington Beach Zoningand SubdivisionOrdinance (HBZSO) (ZoningMap Amendment Nos.22-001and 22-002 and Zoning Text Amendment Nos. 22- 006, 22- 007, 22- 008, and 22- 009) and the Huntington Beach General Plan Land Use Element ( General Plan Amendment No. 22-001) for changes to base/ overlay districts and land use October 2022 Page 2

ER-323
City of Huntington Beach Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report 2021- 2029 HEU Findings of Fact/ Statement of Overriding Considerations designations, as well amendments to other planning documents, as needed for clarification and consistency purposes and to accommodate future housing sites as part of the HEU's Implementation Program. These amendments provide capacity for future development of approximately 19,738 housing units to meet the City' s remaining unmet RHNA of 11,743 housing units.

Other Federal, State, and local agencies are involved in the review and approval of the HEU, including those agencies designated as trustee and responsible agencies. A trustee agency is a State agency that has jurisdiction by law over natural resources affected by a project that are held in trust for the people of the State. A responsible agency is an agency, other than the lead agency, that has responsibility for carrying out or approving a project. Responsible and trustee agencies are consulted by the CEQA lead agency to ensure the opportunity for input and also review and comment on the Draft SEIR. Responsible agencies also use the CEQA document in their decision- making. Several agencies other than the City may require permits, approvals, and/ or consultation to implement various HEU programs.

Responsible/ Trustee Agencies for the HEU include, but are not limited to:

South Coast Air Quality Management District( SCAQMD);
Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board ( RWQCB); and State Department of Housing and Community Development( HCD).

Other agencies may use the Final SEIRin exercising their duties even if they do not have discretionary permit approval authority over all or parts of the HEU( or implementation of individual projects developed as a result of the HEU). All projects that are proposed in the future under the HEU will be required to obtain all necessary discretionary actions and environmental clearance, separate from this HEU.

City of Huntington Beach Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report 2021- 2029 HEU Findings of Fact/ Statement of Overriding Considerations

2. 0 CEQA FINDINGS
This chapter summarizes the potential impacts that were identified in the Draft Subsequent EIR (Draft SEIR) and the findings that are required in accordance with Section 15091 of the CEQA Guidelines. The possible findings for each significant and/ or potentially significant adverse impact are as follows:
a) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which avoid, substantially lessen, or reduce the magnitude of the significant environmental effect as identified in the Draft SEIR(" Finding 1").
b) Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the findings. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. (" Finding 2") c) Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives in the Draft SEIR (" Finding 3").

CEQA requires that the lead agency adopt mitigation measures or project alternatives, where feasible, to avoid or substantially reduce significant environmental impacts that would otherwise occur as a result of a project. Project modifications or alternatives are not required where they are infeasible or where the responsibility for modifying a project lies with another agency ( CEQA Guidelines § 15091, subd. ( a), [ 3]).

Public Resources Code Section 21061. 1 defines " feasible" to mean " capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social and technological factors." CEQA Guidelines Section 15364 adds: " legal" considerations. ( See also Citizens of Goleta Valley v. Board of Supervisors [ Goleta II] [ 1990] 52 Cal. 3d 553, 565 [ 276 Cal. Rptr. 410].) Only after fully complying with the findings requirement can an agency adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations. ( Citizens for Quality Growth v. City of Mount Shasta [ 1988] 198 Cal.App. 3d 433, 442, 445 243 Cal. Rptr. 727].) CEQA requires the Lead Agency to state in writing the specific rationale to support its actions based on a Final EIR and/ or information in the record. This written statement is known as the Statement of Overriding Considerations. The Statement of Overriding Considerations provides the information that demonstrates the decision making body of the Lead Agency has weighed the benefits of a project against its unavoidable adverse effects in determining whether to approve a project. If the benefits of a project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse effects may be considered " acceptable."
This document presents the findings of the City as required by CEQA, cites substantial evidence in the record in support of each of the findings, and presents an explanation to supply the logical step between the finding and the facts in the record. ( CEQA Guidelines § 15091.). Additional facts that support the findings are set forth in the Draft SEIR, the Final SEIR, staff reports to the Planning Commission and City Council, and the record of proceedings.

Table 1 summarizesthe potentially significant impacts that were reducedto lessthan significant levels with mitigation as well as the significant impacts, as proposed for certification and adoption of the HEU.

City of Huntington Beach Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report 2021- 2029 HEU Implementation Program Findings of Fact/ Statement of Overriding Considerations

3. 0 FINDINGS REGARDING PROJECT ALTERNATIVES

3. 1. Introduction
The Draft SEIR prepared for the HEU considered two alternatives to the Project as proposed. Pursuant to Section 15126. 6(a) of the CEQAGuidelines, the primary intent of an alternatives evaluation is to" describe a range of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project, which would feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the project but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project, and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives." This chapter describes the project objectives and criteria used to develop and evaluate project alternatives presented in the Draft SEIR. A description of the alternatives compared to the Project and the findings regarding the feasibility of adopting the described alternatives is presented for use by the City in the decision- making process.

3. 2. Project Objectives
In accordance with State CEQA Guidelines § 15124, the following primary objectives support the HEU's purpose, assist the City, as the lead agency, in developing a reasonable range of alternatives to be evaluated in this SEIR, and ultimately aid decision- makers in preparing findings and overriding considerations, if necessary. The HEU's purpose is to address the housing needs and objectives of the City and to meet the State Housing law requirements. The HEU has the following goals:

Adopt State- mandated and locally desired programs to implement the City' s Housing Element.

Maintain and enhance the quality and affordability of existing housing in Huntington Beach.

Provide adequate sites to accommodate projected housing unit needs at all income levels identified by the 2021- 2029 RHNA.

Provide for safe and decent housing for all economic segments of the community.

Reduce governmental constraints to housing production, with an emphasis on improving processes for projects that provide on- site affordable units.

Promote equal housing opportunities for all residents, including Huntington Beach's special needs populations.

Promote a healthy and sustainable Huntington Beachthrough support of housing at all income levels that minimizes reliance on natural resources and automobile use.

Maximize solutions for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Improve quality of life and promote placemaking.

Affirmatively further fair housing.

City of Huntington Beach Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report 2021- 2029 HEU Implementation Program Findings of Fact/ Statement of Overriding Considerations

3. 3. Selection of Alternatives
The range of feasible alternatives was selected and discussed in a manner to foster meaningful public participation and informed decision- making. Among the factors that were taken into account when considering the feasibility of alternatives ( as described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15126. 6[ f][ 1]) were environmental impacts, economic viability, availability of infrastructure, regulatory limitations, jurisdictional boundaries, and attainment of project objectives. As stated in Section 15126. 6(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, the Draft SEIR need not consider an alternative whose effects could not be reasonably identified, whose implementation is remote or speculative, or one that would not achieve the basic project objectives. The analysis includes sufficient information about each alternative to provide meaningful evaluation, analysis and comparison with the proposed project.

3. 4. Project Alternative Findings
The following is a description of the alternatives evaluated in comparison to Project, as well as a description of the specific economic, social, or other considerations that make them infeasible for avoiding or lessening the impacts.

As shown below and in Chapter 7. 0 ( Alternatives) of the Draft SEIR, two alternatives were evaluated in comparison to the Project, including the No Project Alternative required by CEQA. The two alternatives analyzed represent a reasonable range of alternatives to the Project. The analysis in this section focuses on significant and unavoidable impacts attributable to each alternative and the ability of each alternative to meet basic project objectives.

No Project" Alternative ( Alternative 1)
According to State CEQA Guidelines § 15126. 6( e), the specific alternative of " No Project" shall also be evaluated along with its impact. The purpose of describing and analyzing a No Project Alternative is to allow decision- makers to compare the impacts of approving the proposed Project with impacts of not approving the Project. The No Project Alternative analysis is required to discuss the existing conditions at the time the Notice of Preparation is published ( August 4, 2021), as well as what would be reasonably expected to occur in the foreseeable future, if the Project were not approved, based on current plans and consistent with available infrastructure and community services.

Under Alternative 1, development within the City would proceed pursuant to the adopted City General Planandzoning.TheCity'sprojectedregionalhousingneedfor the6thCycleRHNAplanningperiod(2021- 2029) is 13,368 dwelling units ( 11,743 units when accounting for existing applications and pipeline projects). Under Alternative 1, the City would not implement the Housing Program required to comply with State law, to accommodate the lower- income RHNA units, including amendments to existing land use designations and zoningdistricts, an affordable housingoverlay, and identification of underutilized, residentially-zoned parcels in an inventory of candidate housing sites. In total, the HEUidentifies 378 candidate housing sites (approximately 419 acres).The proposed amendmentsto the Huntington Beach October 2022 Page 18

ER-339
City of Huntington Beach Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report 2021- 2029 HEU Implementation Program Findings of Fact/ Statement of Overriding Considerations General Plan and the City of Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Municipal Code (Zoning Text and Zoning Map amendments) for changes to land use designations and base/ overlay districts, as well as ancillary amendments to other planning documents, would not be implemented. These amendments, which are needed to accommodate future housing sites as part of the HEU' s Implementation Program, would not be implemented at the 378 identified candidate housing sites.

The capacity to develop 11,743 additional housing units that would be facilitated by Project implementation would not be provided under the No Project Alternative. Because the Project proposes only three candidate housing sites ( Sites 3, 4, and 5) for rezoning, and all other sites would retain their existing underlying zoning, under Alternative 1, rezoning of Sites 3, 4, and 5 would not occur and existing zoning would remain in place.

Under this alternative, State Housing Law and legislative requirements for implementation of the Project' s proposed programs and strategies to increase housing capacity and the production of affordable dwelling units in the City would not occur. Overall, Alternative 1 would not consider the candidate housing sites and adoption of the land use amendments and rezones necessary to achieve the City' s RHNA. As a result, the capacity for 11,743 multi- family housing units would not be created. This alternative would not satisfy the Project objectives stated above because implementation of Alternative 1 would not facilitate the development of sufficient residential units to meet the City' s RHNA allocation and would not satisfy legislative mandates for the HEU.

Findings
The No Project Alternative would result in fewer impacts than the Project. Although this Alternative could reduce environmental impacts from future housing development facilitated by the HEU, the No Project Alternative would not achieve any of the project objectives. The No Project Alternative would not provide adequate housingsitesto meet the City's 6thCycleRHNAallocation or satisfy State housinglaw including AB 1397. Under the No Project Alternative, the City would not meet its RHNA obligations. Thus, this Alternative would directly conflict with California Government Code § 65583, which stipulates that a jurisdiction must assessits housingelement every eight yearsand identify adequate sitesfor housingand provide for the existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community.

Beach and Edinger Corridors Alternative ( Alternative 2) Aswith the proposedProject,the Beachand EdingerCorridorsAlternative( Alternative 2) would meet the City's RHNA. However, residential development under Alternative 2 would be concentrated around the Beach and Edinger Corridors area of the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan( Specific Plan 14). More specifically, new residentialdevelopment would occurin portions of SpecificPlan14'sTransition Corridor Areas (TCAs), which would support transit- oriented communities, and on fewer total parcels. This would havethe effect of further reducingvehicle milestraveled (VMT),transportation- related energydemands, and associatedcriteria air pollutant and greenhousegasemissionsassociatedwith housingdevelopment.

However, this approach would require taller building heights and higher densities to achieve the target housing production in this area necessaryto meet the RHNA, which could result in increasedaesthetic October 2022 Page 19

ER-340
City of Huntington Beach Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report 2021- 2029 HEU Implementation Program Findings of Fact/ Statement of Overriding Considerations impacts as compared to the Project. This alternative would also create dense/ confined residential development and not expand housing opportunities across the City and would not affirmatively further fair housing to the same degree as the Project.

Findings
Alternative 2 would meet the majority of the project objectives as it is assumed that development under this alternative would meet the 6thCycle RHNAhousing needs. However, Alternative 2 would fail to affirmatively further fair housing since this alternative would not provide new housing within highest resources areas with accessto highly rated schools, parks and community amenities. New housing would be concentrated within one area of the City. Furthermore, Alternative 2 could result in additional constraints to housing because the densities necessary to accommodate all of the RHNA within the Specific Plan may not be supported by the market ( e. g., land and construction costs), which could potentially make it cost- prohibitive for developers to construct housing. As such, because Alternative 2 would fail to affirmatively further fair housing and could result in additional constraints to the construction of housing, this alternative would likely not be certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development( HCD), as it would not substantially conform to Housing Element Law.

Alternatives Considered but Eliminated from Future Consideration Five additional alternatives were initially considered during the scoping and planning process, but were not selected for detailed analysis in the Draft SEIR. These included: Reduced Dwelling Units Alternative, Alternate Housing Sites Alternative, Palm/ Goldenwest Specific Plan ( SP 12) Alternative, Huntington Harbour Area Sites Alternative, and McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan ( SP 11) Alternative.

Reduced Dwelling Units Alternative
A Reduced Dwelling Units Alternative was considered, but rejected from further consideration. This alternative was considered to assess if it would help mitigate the significant and unavoidable impact to potable water resourcesassociatedwith the proposed Project, asfuture housingdevelopment facilitated by the Projectwould incrementally increasethe demandfor potable water. The projected water demand associated with Project implementation at buildout would increase water demand in the City by approximately 2, 905 acre- feet per year ( AFY), or approximately 11 percent over existing 2022 and projected 2030 City demands. While the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) did not specifically account for the population growth associatedwith the Project, it did project that the City would servea population of 206,499 persons by 20301, which is an additional 9,625 persons over the City's existing population of 196, 874 persons.' Therefore, it can be inferred that at least a portion ( approximately 54 percent3, or 949 AFY)of the water demand associatedwith the Project population growth was accounted 1UWMP Table 3- 2: Retail: Population- Current and Projected.

Thus, after considering the existing water demand associated with the displaced land uses that would be removed, the approximately 54 percent assumed to be already accounted for in the UWMP' s anticipated population growth, and unaccounted for net Project water demand of approximately 46 percent or 823 AFY which would remain unmet. In order to not exceed the projected water resources for the City, the Reduced Dwelling Units Alternative would have to reduce the number of housing units to a number that would fail to meet the basic RHNA requirements.

Alternate Housing Sites Alternative
The Alternate Housing Sites Alternative was considered, but rejected from further consideration. This alternative was determined to be infeasible during the scoping process because alternative housing sites not included in the scope of the Project were found to be infeasible due to regulations, site constraints, property owner interest in developing housing, community input, and existing uses. Additionally, some candidate housing sites were considered, but rejected becausepotentially significant effects of future housing development would be avoided or substantially lessenedby rejecting those sites. Examplesof alternative sites initially considered are discussed below.

Palm/ Goldenwest Specific Plan( SP 12) Alternative
This is a 96-acre area bordered by PacificCoastHighway, GoldenwestStreet, and SeapointStreet and is located entirely within the CoastalZone. The property is designatedfor visitor serving commercial uses within the Palm/ Goldenwest Specific Plan. At the time the specific plan was adopted in 2000, the property was an active oil field. Aera Energyowned the property and indicated that the property would remain in oil production for the next 15 to 20years.Assuch,the specific plan was adopted to plan for reuseof the site after oil production activities ceased.

City of Huntington Beach Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report 2021- 2029 HEU Implementation Program Findings of Fact/ Statement of Overriding Considerations Housing Overlay, would accommodate 40 to 50 percent of the City' s total RHNA( 96 acres x 55 du/ acre up to 96 acres x 70 du/ acre). Although this site could accommodate residential uses, the site is located within higher resource areas that could result in greater environmental impacts than other sites included in the scope of the Project. The following are reasons why this alternative was rejected:

The location of the site within the Coastal Zone would require the California Coastal Commission to approve the Affordable Housing Overlay designation; timing of the " rezoning" effort could be lengthy with no guarantee of approval from the Coastal Commission.

The potential for costly remediation of the site due to its historic use as oil field.

The property owner no longer anticipates oil production activities to cease as described in SP 12.

Therefore, the property is not expected to be available for development prior to 2030.

The concentration of almost 50 percent of RHNA allocation on one site may lead to overconcentration of affordable housing in one area.

Huntington Harbour Area Sites Alternative
There are two commercial areas in the Huntington Harbour area with a combined acreage of 21. 5 acres.

One area is the Huntington Harbour mall, which is an older mall developed in the 1960s. This 10. 8- acre site was identified as a potential candidate housing site because it is underutilized with one and two- story buildings developed at a relatively low floor- area- ratio ( FAR) considering that the maximum allowed FAR is 1.5. The site has potential to be redeveloped as a mixed- use project with the inclusion of residential units at 30 du/ acre. The site has close access to Warner Avenue, a major arterial. The second area is Peter' s Landing. This site includes the Peter' s Landing commercial center and adjacent properties along Pacific Coast Highway, and has been studied for mixed use (residential/ commercial) in prior General Plan planningefforts. In addition, the property owners previouslyshowed interest in adding residential usesin existing or new development projects on the sites. Previous site analyses on this site indicate that residential could be accommodated at higher densities.

City of Huntington Beach Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report 2021- 2029 HEU Implementation Program Findings of Fact/ Statement of Overriding Considerations The following are reasons why this alternative was rejected:

The location of these sites within the Coastal Zone would require the California Coastal Commission to approve any changes to the zoning/ land use designation including an Affordable Housing Overlay designation. As such, the timing of the " rezoning" effort could be length with no guarantee that the Coastal Commission would approve the amendments, particularly because residential is a lower priority use in the Coastal Zone.

These sites, in conjunction with the general Huntington Harbour area, are shown in the City' s Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment as one of the most vulnerable areas in the City with development in this area having the highest exposure to sea level rise hazards ( e.g., storm and non- storm flood projections becoming widespread with 1.6-foot and 3. 3-foot sea level rise, respectively).

McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan( SP 11) Alternative The McDonnell Centre Business Park Specific Plan encompasses 307 acres in the northwestern portion of the City. It has accessfrom Bolsa Chica Street and Bolsa Avenue, both major arterials, with close accessto the 405 freeway. The area was first developed for the aerospace industry in the 1960s and a specific plan was adopted in 1997 with amendments in 2002 and 2006 that allowed for approximately eight million square feet of industrial, office, and ancillary uses (including the existing development). Boeing has been the primary landowner in the area, although other major business tenants have moved into the specific plan area. In 2018, Boeingbeganmarketing someof its properties in the specific plan area. As such, the City evaluated housing potential within portions of the specific plan area for the 6thCycle, particularly workforce housing and lower income worker housing. The specific plan could accommodate a large capacity of housing units at higher densities due to its size and existing and planned infrastructure. ton Gabriel Mil Fry

There is a strong market for industrial land in this area of the City. The site was even more attractive to potential developers due to its proximity to the freeway and because zoning and environmental approvals were already in place.

Potential conflicts between industrial uses and residential uses.

Potential costs to remediate site to residential standards.

Properties have already started redeveloping with new industrial buildings recently completed and future phases approved.

(a) CEQA requires the decision-making agency to balance, as applicable, the economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks when determining whether to approve the project . If the specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of a proposed project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects may be considered "acceptable ." (b) When the lead agency approves a project which will result in the occurrence of significant effects which are identified in the Final EIR but are not avoided or substantially lessened, the agency shall state in writing the specific reason to support its actions based on the Final EIR and/or other information in the record. The statement of overriding considerations shall be supported by substantial evidence in the record .
(c) If an agency makes a statement of overriding considerations, the statement should be included in the record of the project approval and should be mentioned in the notice of determination .

The City of Huntington Beach proposes to adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations regarding the significant cumulative air quality, greenhouse gas, hydrology and water quality, noise, and utilities/water supply impacts of the Project. This section describes the anticipated benefits and other considerations of the Project to support the decision to proceed, even though significant and unavoidable impacts are anticipated .

4.2. Significant Adverse Project and Cumulative Impacts The City of Huntington Beach is proposing to approve the proposed Project, with revisions to reduce environmental impacts, and has prepared a SEIR as required by CEQA. Even with revisions to the Project, the following impacts have been identified as being unavoidable as there are no feasible mitigation measures available to further reduce the impacts. Refer to Chapter 2 (CEQA Findings) for further clarification regarding the impact listed below.

Air Quality
Despite compliance with General Plan policies, GPU PEIR mitigation, and MM AQ-1 and AQ-2, the Project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts concerning construction -related and operational emissions. In addition, sites over two acres could expose sensitive receptors to significant impacts by exceeding construction LST thresholds . The Project-related contribution of daily construction and operational emissions associated with the HEU are considered cumulatively significant and unavoidable.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Despite the recommendation of Greenhouse Gas Reduction program GHG reduction strategies, the Project would generate GHG emissions that may have a significant impact on the environment and could Octobe r 2022 Page 25

Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report
Findings of Fact/Statement of Overriding Consideration s conflict with applicable plans for reducing GHG emissions. Therefore, impacts on GHG are considered significant and unavoidable, both for the Project and cumulative conditions .

Hydrology and Water Quality
The Project could substantially decrease groundwater supplies resulting in a significant and unavoidable impact concerning sustainable management of the Basin. The Project's impact concerning groundwater supplies would be cumulatively considerable and a significant unavoidable impact would occur.

Noise
Despite compliance with GPU PEIR mitigation, the Project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts concerning construction-related noise and vibration levels and operational noise levels associated with traffic. The Project's impact concerning the substantial temporary and permanent increase of ambient noise levels would be cumulatively considerable. The Project's impact concerning construction­ related noise and groundborne vibration would also be cumulatively considerable.

Utilities and Service Systems
Despite compliance with GPU PEIR mitigation, until the water supply situation improves, the water demands from future development pursuant to the HEU would result in a significant and unavoidable impact concerning water supplies. Additionally, until such time as greater confidence in and commitment from water suppliers can be made, or the water supply situation improves, the Project's impacts concerning water supplies to serve future development would be cumulatively considerable.

4.3. Findings
The City of Huntington Beach has evaluated all feasible mitigation measures and potential changes to the Project with respect to reducing the impacts that have been identified as significant and unavoidable (see Chapter 2, CEQA Findings). The City of Huntington Beach has also examined a reasonable range of alternatives to the project as proposed (see Chapter 3, Findings Regarding Project Alternatives). Based on this examination, the City of Huntington Beach has determined that the No Project Alternative is considered to be the environmentally superior alternative.

4.4. Overriding Considerations
Specific economic, social, or other considerations outweigh the significant and unavoidable impacts stated above. The reasons for proceeding with the proposed project, notwithstanding the identified significant and unavoidable impacts are described below.

Proposed Project Benefits
1) The HEU would facilitate the development of a wide range of housing types in sufficient supply to meet the needs of current and future residents, particularly for persons with specific needs, including but not limited to extremely low, very low, and lower income households; seniors; persons October 2022 Page 26

2) The HEU would increase the supply of affordable housing in high opportunity/resource areas, including areas with access to employment opportunities, community facilities and services, and amenities .
3) The HEU would provide a comprehensive system of support and would expand housing options aimed to prevent and end homelessness.
4) The HEU would reduce constraints to the development of housing, including affordable housing, through programs that allow ministerial approval processes, permit ready plans for Accessory Dwelling Units, a review and update of the City's small lot ordinance, and housing overlays in non­ residential areas.
5) The HEU would address planning and monitoring goals for long-term affordability of adequate housing.
6) The HEU would facilitate the development of an accessible housing supply for all persons without discrimination in accordance with State and federal fair housing laws. The HEU would enhance existing lower resource neighborhoods by promoting livable, healthy, and safe housing for all residents.
7) The HEU provides a plan for meeting the City's RHNA goals and to affirmatively further fair housing, which substantially complies with State law, thereby enabling the City to achieve certification of the HEU through the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Certification of the HEU would also enable the City to maintain eligibility for funding programs tied to a compliant HEU.
8) The HEU would allow the City of to revitalize commercial corridors and older industrial areas by allowing for additional housing opportunities in the City while maintaining the character of existing, long-established single-family residential neighborhoods in the City. Consistent with General Plan Implementation Program LU-P.14, the Affordable Housing Overlay allows for housing within the Research and Technology zoned areas, which establishes housing opportunities for employees of business in these areas. The provisions of the Affordable Housing Overlay ensure that potential conflicts between residential and non-residential uses in these areas would be minimized . The City would continue to ensure that all standards for building design, streetscape design, and landscaping would be adhered to and would review development proposals to ensure consistency with the character and visual appearance of the surrounding neighborhood. 9) The HEU would encourage future housing developments to better integrate with alternative modes of traditional transport because over half of the candidate housing sites identified in the HEU are located along High Quality Transit Areas. New development would also be encouraged to promote and support public transit and alternative modes of transportation by incorporating bus turnouts and shaded bus stops (where appropriate) and providing enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities . 10) With more organized development and guided use of existing resources, such potential impacts to water supply can be monitored and improved for the health and benefit of residents.

Findings of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations lands and open spaces can be protected and retained in place throughout the planning horizon to provide recreational benefits to residents, visitors and school aged students. A shift toward sustainable resources and self-sufficiency, as outlined in the HEU, will allow for the continuation of the valued way of life within the City of Huntington Beach throughout the planning horizon. For example, future projects would be required to comply with General Plan Goal ERC-15 and Policies ERC-15.A and ERC-15.B, which aim to maintain an adequate supply of water and distribution facilities capable of meeting existing and future water supply needs and require monitoring to reduce impacts to the water system in an effort to maintain and expand water supply and distribution facilities.
