You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important Dear Huntington City Council Members,
I am a homeowner in this beautiful city of Huntington Beach.

I am writing to urge you to
Reject the Revised Draft Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) No. 21-004; General Plan Amendment No. 21-004; Zoning Map Amendment No. 21-003; Zoning Text Amendment No. 22-005; and Conditional Use Permit No. 21-024 for the Revised Bolsa Chica Senior Care Community Project located at 4952 and 4972 Warner Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA. 92649 (Southwest corner of Bolsa Chica Street and Warner Avenue).

Nonetheless regardless of its label, it is still a high-density project which is considered mixed use which mandates the residential portion must conform with adjoining residential uses.

Residents welcome the general “concept” of building a new senior care facility, but please cap this monstrosity at 35-feet tall, maintain exiting setback codes, and reduce its density so that it’s compatible with adjoining uses and complies with Land Use Elements LU-1(D) and LU-2(B).

The number of parking spaces should also be significantly increased to eliminate traffic congestion during surge visitor times.

1. Land Use Element Policy LU-1(D) mandates: Ensure that new development projects are of compatible proportion, scale and character to complement adjoining uses.

2. Land Use Element Policy LU-2(B) mandates: Ensure that new and renovated structures and building architecture and site design are context sensitive, creative, complementary of the city’s beach culture, and compatible with surrounding development and public spaces.

3. This Revise Project is still too tall and massive in scale, bulk, proportion, and size for our neighborhood.

4. This 4-story, 53-feet tall, 205,308 ft 2 building which is over 250,000 ft2 viewed from the outside (2.04 FAR) with 159 living units sprawling over 3.1 acres will tower over the three 1- story tall homes across the street on Bolsa Chica Street, and tower over the adjoining 2-story on Warner, and the 3-story Condo’s on Bolsa Chica.

5. When factoring in the grade differential, this Project will be 56-feet tall due to its 3’-6’ feet rooftop parapets.

6. This Project requires a Specific Plan due to its mixed-use designation whereby the general plan requires this project to comply with the adjoining residential density. This Project is almost double the adjoining density.
10/15/2024
18 (24-710)

7. High Density Residential is defined in the 2017 general plan, which Dan Kalmick as Planning Commissioner approved, as 30 or more units-per-acre, yet this Project proposes 56.6 units-per-acre. It is clearly high-density.

8. While Commercial Zoning (CZ) allows a 50-feet tall building, this new zoning should comply with the adjacent residential zoning which only allows 35-feet in height to match neighboring 3-story condominiums.

9. The 32-feet setback will place this towering monstrosity right in the faces of families living in the apartments on the south side of it on Warner Avenue. And it will tower over all other adjoining uses.

10. This Project is grossly under-parked and has insufficient parking spaces for visitors, customers of the ground floor businesses, onsite employees, and a myriad of daily delivery and service trucks.

11. Insufficient parking is due to the developer incorrectly applying parking spaces-per-bed rather than using the correct standards required by the general plan for mixed-use projects which in turn requires significantly more spaces per unit for the residential unit portion of this Project. This mixed-use Project needs to apply a combo of residential parking standards for its residential portion, and apply commercial standards for its commercial use portion in order to calculate the total required number of parking spaces. Parking needs recalculation.

13. An estimated 110 employees will work in 3 shifts at this complex so during their shift change overlaps there will be approximately 70 employees during shift changes who simultaneously need onsite parking spaces out of the 104 available spaces. That leaves only 34 available parking spaces for its 159 residential units, all of their visitors, outside 3rd party workers, and potential customers of the commercial ground floor businesses.

14. The “Senior Care Community” label for this Big Box is intentionally misleading since it will feature commercial restaurants that serve and provide on-site liquor sales. True convalescent care facilities do not serve liquor or include 1,700 - 2,000 square feet apartment units. The developer conveniently uses the designation of “convalescent care” in order to apply for reduced parking in their specific plan which they hope will give them the fewest number of spaces required by our city for any residential use.

15. This project will result in substantial impacts to biological resources requiring mitigation.

Project site is located on the Pacific Flyway, a major migratory bird corridor that uses our nearby state-protected Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve which is a Global Biodiversity Hotspot that supports 23 endangered species of birds and raptors. This complex will be the tallest building in the area and undoubtedly cause numerous endangered species fatalities from bird strikes into its upper 4th-floor and extended rooftop parapets.

16. This high-density apartment complex is a precedent-setting Trojan Horse that will allow other developers to saturate this area with more high density Big Boxes that will destroy our quiet “Surf City” beach community.

17. This project is a blatant attempt to Spot Zone which is the oldest recognized form of zoning scheming and corruption. The City lacks substantial evidence to support the “findings” for Zoning Map Amendment, Zoning Text Amendment, and Conditional Use Permit amongst multiple other violations of City Code, regulations, and established and accepted practices.

Approval of this Project can only be obtained by significant abuse of the City’s discretionary approval process.

18. The Draft Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) fails to provide and analyze an accurate and complete project description, the EIR’s analysis of cumulative impacts is deficient; and the EIR’s analysis of alternatives is deficient; and the EIR fails to support its findings with substantial evidence amongst multiple other violations of the EIR and CEQA that include but are not limited to inadequate traffic, sewer capacity, water capacity, storm drain, loss of scenic vista, project alternatives, and shadow studies that reflect the true height of the structure. The EIR must be revised and recirculated.

19. This Project is located in the City Designated “Preserve Zone” (not a Transform Zone) where land use changes are not envisioned and are not necessary to implement the Community Vision.

20. The project fails to comply with the City’s governing land use policies and codes. The project applicant has proposed a Specific Plan as a creative means to overcome such non- compliances. This ploy must be rejected in favor of protecting and preserving the proportions and character of our local neighborhood community. This Revised Project is not compatible in proportion, scale and character to complement adjoining uses, and is certainly not complementary of our city’s beach culture. This Project violates LU-1(D) and LU-2(B).

Please Vote NO and Reject this High-Density Project in its current format and design.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Stacey Le-Tran

Please stop the proposed HIGH DENSITY project for a senior center on Bolsa Chica and Warner! I urge all of you to stop this project located at 4952 and 4972 Warner Ave, Huntington Beach. They are trying to build a high density project and it does not conform with all the adjoining residential housing in this area. This is a preserve zone!! Birds migrate through here to the Bolsa Chica wetlands. This complex that is proposed will be the tallest building in the area and undoubtably cause numerous endangered species fatalities from its proposed 4th floor and expanded rooftop parapets. This proposed complex does not match our residential neighborhood!!! Also the added traffic and lack of parking in the area will be a nightmare. I urge you to have them revise this project to be proportion to the area and our beach culture. I live right here and asking for our city to help us.

1 Objection Letter to Huntington Beach City Council
September 29, 2024

Dear Huntington City Council Members, I urge you to Reject the Revised Draft Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) No. 21-004; General Plan Amendment No. 21-004; Zoning Map Amendment No. 21-003; Zoning Text Amendment No. 22-005; and Conditional Use Permit No. 21-024 for the Revised Bolsa Chica Senior Care Community Project located at 4952 and 4972 Warner Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA. 92649 (Southwest corner of Bolsa Chica Street and Warner Avenue).

This Project requires a Specific Plan because it is a high-density 159 apartment unit complex featuring separate and independent dwelling units that happens to offer extra amenities under the auspices of “Senior Care” to tenants. Nonetheless regardless of its label, it is still a high-density project which is considered mixed use which mandates the residential portion must conform with adjoining residential uses.

Because of multiple city code, zoning, and architectural and site design issues, this Big Box Project still fails to meet city planning requirements and must be rejected in its current “as is” submission format and sent back to the developer for further revisions. Residents welcome the general “concept” of building a new senior care facility, but please cap this monstrosity at 35-feet tall, maintain exiting setback codes, and reduce its density so that it’s compatible with adjoining uses and complies with Land Use Elements LU-1(D) and LU-2(B).

5. When factoring in the grade differential, this Project will be 56-feet tall due to its 3’-6’ feet rooftop parapets.

12. There is essentially no available street parking near this particular intersection. There is no street parking on Warner Avenue. And Bolsa Chica Street is a predominantly “red-curbed” zone with extremely limited street parking that also serves as a major parking area and gateway to the public hiking trails in the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. Bolsa Chica Street is the only two-way ingress and egress access point to the Brightwater, Sandover, and Los Patos Avenue communities which makes Bolsa Chica Street a vital high- traffic-volume thorofare that this project will adversely affect and inhibit the flow of traffic. 2 13. An estimated 110 employees will work in 3 shifts at this complex so during their shift change overlaps there will be approximately 70 employees during shift changes who simultaneously need onsite parking spaces out of the 104 available spaces. That leaves only 34 available parking spaces for its 159 residential units, all of their visitors, outside 3rd party workers, and potential customers of the commercial ground floor businesses.

Objection Letter to Huntington Beach City Council

October 1, 2024

Dear Huntington City Council Members, I urge you to
Reject the Revised Draft Environmental Impact
Report (“EIR”) No. 21-004; General Plan Amendment
No. 21-004; Zoning Map Amendment No. 21-003;
Zoning Text Amendment No. 22-005; and Conditional
Use Permit No. 21-024 for the Revised Bolsa Chica
Senior Care Community Project located at 4952 and
4972 Warner Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA. 92649
(Southwest corner of Bolsa Chica Street and Warner
Avenue).

Because of multiple city code, zoning, and architectural and site design issues, this Big Box Project still fails to meet city planning requirements and must be rejected
in its current “as is” submission format and sent back to the
developer for further revisions. Residents welcome the
general “concept” of building a new senior care facility, but please cap this monstrosity at 35-feet tall, maintain exiting setback codes, and reduce its density so that it’s compatible with adjoining uses and complies with Land
Use Elements LU-1(D) and LU-2(B). The number of
parking spaces should also be significantly increased to eliminate traffic congestion during surge visitor times.

I strongly object to the project for many valid reasons that include but are not limited to the following
objections-

1: This high- density Big Box high-rise apartment is too massive in size, proportion, scope, and density for
surrounding neighborhood.
2: This 4-story, 53-feet tall, 205,308 ft2 building which is over 250,000 ft2 viewed from the outside (2.04 FAR)
with 159 living units sprawling over 3.1 acres will tower over the three 1-story tall homes across the street on
Bolsa Chica Street, and tower over the adjoining 2-story on Warner, and the 3-story Condo’s on Bolsa Chica.
3: This monstrosity will loom 4 stories high in a
neighborhood of single story and two-story buildings.
4: Built on a Zero Lot line with only 10 feet setback from the curb, this monstrosity will sprawl over 3.5 acres
crowding a major traffic intersection in Huntington
Beach.
5: High Density Residential is defined in the 2017
general plan, which Dan Kalmick as Planning
Commissioner
approved, as 30 or more units-per-acre, yet this Project proposes 56.6 units-per-acre. It is clearly high-density! 6: The grossly inadequate parking spaces will not
provide enough parking for visitors, vendors, delivery
/service trucks. Spillover parking will saturate the
streets which are all ready overcrowded. This will
grossly impact the major gateway to the public hiking
trails to the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserves.
7: This project is a blatant and improper attempt to Spot Zone which is the oldest recognized form of zoning
scheming and abuse.
8: The Senior Living Community label for this is
misleading as only the wealthy will be able to these
rents
9: This Revise Project is still too tall and massive in scale, bulk, proportion, and size for our neighborhood.
10: Huntington Beach is turning into an overpriced,
overbuilt Los Angeles suburb which is not why we live
here.
11: This project will result in substantial impacts to

RE: SUPPORT FOR BOLSA CHICA SENIOR CARE

Dear Mayor Van Der Mark:

I am in favor of a senior care facility, a new commercial use, that will help to revitalize the corner of Bolsa Chica Street and Warner Avenue with minimal impact to the surrounding neighbors.

With the future of office space uncertain, cities must look for creative land uses as replacements.

Senior care facilities can be an asset in a community. They provide new home opportunities for seniors, yes, but they provide so much more. With amenities and services provided within, seniors can be well taken care of, and enjoy their golden years with familiar shops, restaurants, and doctors nearby, as well as family members.

This type of community is good for Huntington Beach and specifically a good use for this piece of property.

The developer made significant changes to the project based on community input. It’s time to allow this new, quality amenity for Huntington Beach to move forward.

Thank you for your consideration.

RE: SUPPORT FOR BOLSA CHICA SENIOR CARE

Dear Mayor Van Der Mark:

I am writing to express my support of a proposed senior care facility, new commercial use, that will help bring new professional aesthetics, vibrancy through new development, and revitalize the corner of Bolsa Chica Street and Warner Avenue with minimal impact to the surrounding neighbors.

The future of office space remains trending downward with demand and there are no positive drivers on the horizon to turn the collapse around. As a commercial real estate broker for nearly 15 years in Orange County that specializes in office buildings, I am, unfortunately, routinely in the position of advising clients to look for creative land uses as replacements to office space.

There is a massive over supply of office space in the general market. The challenge is identifying viable alternative uses that minimize concerns and provide tangible benefits to the residents of the surrounding area.

I believe senior care facilities are an asset in a community. They provide new home opportunities for seniors and so much more. With amenities and services provided within, seniors can be well taken care of, and enjoy their golden years with familiar shops, restaurants, and doctors nearby, as well as family members. Senior care facilities play a crucial role in maintaining family connections, which can significantly benefit the mental and physical well-being of individuals.

This, in turn, positively impacts the overall health and vitality of the community. The ability for families to be close to their aging parents is needed more than ever given the ever-rising costs of housing in Orange County.

I believe this type of community is good for Huntington Beach and specifically a good use for this piece of property.

Based on the community input and concerns, I understand the developer made significant changes to the project. I believe moving forward with this project is the right path.

Thank you!

I respectfully ask that you do not approve the building of a new Senior Community at the corner of Warner and Bolsa Chica even though the Planning Commision recently approved this. Not only would this project seriously impact the adjacent residential and commercial areas with additional traffic, but most importantly, this building project sends the wrong message at a time when our city is fighting state mandates to build almost 14,000 new residences. How does such a building project get approved and become a reality while we, as a city, fight against the state mandates in an effort to maintain the city's charm? Very bad optics indeed!

Please do not approve the Senior Community building projects. Enough is enough

Thank you for your consideration on this very important issue.

Re: BOLSA CHICA SENIOR CARE COMMUNITY

Dear Mayor and City Council Members,
I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed new senior living community in Huntington Beach. I have been associated with this property professionally as a leasing broker for the prior owner and personally having owned a home close by off Golden Gate Ln. The current office building was hard to maintain years ago and is even more expensive today. There is no demand for office space, construction costs are higher than ever and it is a generally undesirable location for office users and their employees.

Having a brand-new thriving senior living community at this location provides the most benefit to the local community with the least amount of impact.

Having worked in Huntington Beach for years now I have seen firsthand the need for this type of development. Our community is aging rapidly, and I do not see enough senior housing options out there.

It is a shame that many seniors are forced into apartments or staying in their oversized homes. This new senior living community is a great alternative. Not to mention, it would also free up existing home inventory without the need to build a single new unit.

In addition to meeting the needs of our seniors, the proposed senior living community would also provide several economic benefits to Huntington Beach. The project would create jobs during construction and operation, and it would generate significant tax revenue for the city. The community would also attract new residents to Huntington Beach, which would boost our local businesses and economy.

I urge you to approve the proposed senior living community. It is a much-needed development that would benefit both our seniors and our community.

Sincerely,
Evangelo Karantonis
