Comment Letter 1: Elizabeth Hartman, January 20, 2026
Response to Comment Letter 1: Elizabeth Hartman, January 20, 2026 Response to Comment I: Per HBZSO Chapter 204 and 213, accessory uses are limited to facilities incidental to an open space use. The proposed bungalows and lofts are incidental to the primary use which is the tennis and golf club, conditionally permitted as a commercial recreation use within the open space zone.
Response to Comment II: The project proposes conditions of approval that address length and frequency of stay, occupancy limits, kitchen facilities and independent living features, and rental, leasing, or marketing practices. The conditions limit the bungalows and lofts to short term accommodation, limited to members and their guests, and prohibits conversion to residential.
The primary use will remain a private tennis and golf club which has conditionally been permitted. This project will improve a major recreational facility within the city by adding additional amenities and upgrade existing structures/amenities in a manner that will allow the club to continue with their existing events while also benefiting club members and the surrounding neighborhood.
Response to Comment III, III -A, III -B: This comment does not provide any substantial evidence that the Project would result in a significant environmental impact. CEQA is an environmental protection statute that is concerned with physical changes to the environment (CEQA Guidelines Section 1535 8(b)). The environment includes land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic significance (CEQA Guidelines Section 15360). The project merits, including any economic an d social effects of the project are not treated as effects on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064(e) and 15131(a)).
Therefore, consistent with CEQA, the Class 32 includes an analysis of the project’s potentially significant physical impacts on the environment and does not include a discussion of economic harm.
Additionally, the project would not displace recreational users to such an extent that existing public facilities would experience substantial overcrowding or physical degradation, nor would it necessitate the construction of new recreational facilities. The tennis courts are privately owned and operated amenities associated with a private club. CEQA does not require preservation or replacement of private recreational amenities absent a demonstrated physical environmental impact. No substantial evidence indicates that the project would result in increased use of public recreational facilities beyond their capacity or otherwise cause a physical environmental effect.
Response to Comment IV: This comment does not provide any substantial evidence that the Project would result in a significant environmental impact. The Class 32 examined potential impacts related to traffic, noise, utilities, and public safety. Parking is not a CEQA issue. All pr oject lighting would be designed to be shielded and directed downward, consistent with the City’s design standards and Municipal Code requirements. The project is served by all required utilities and public services and no expansion of offsite utility systems is required. Construction and operational noise impacts were determined to be less than significant.
As shown in Table 3 of the Class 32 exemption, the existing tennis club and four tennis courts generates a total of 111 daily trips, with 6 trips during the AM peak hour and 12 trips during the PM peak hour. Comparatively, operation of the proposed Project would generate 48 daily trips including 3 trips during the AM peak hour and 4 trips during the PM peak hour. Therefore, as shown in Table 3 below, the proposed Project would generate 63 fewer net daily trips, including 3 fewer AM peak hour trips, and 8 fe wer PM peak hour trips (proposed Project minus existing). Thus, the project does not represent an intensification of use.
Response to Comment V: The proposed project will not impede public access and does not conflict with any public recreation policies by the provision of a development consistent with the City’s General Plan, Coastal Element, and HBZSO . The site is privately owned and the development will not remove any recreation resources or affect public access.
Response to Comment VI: The proposed short term accommodations will be an accessory use/amenity to the principal use, a private golf and tennis club. Conditions have been added to ensure that the principal use does not change and that the accessory use is compatible with the principal use and the surrounding neighborhood.
Response to Comment VII. Speculative Revenue Stream: This comment does not provide any substantial evidence that the Project would result in a significant environmental impact. CEQA is an environmental protection statute that is concerned with physical changes to the environment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15358(b)). The environment includes land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic significance (CEQA Guidelines Section 15360). The project merits, including a ny economic and social effects of the project are not treated as effects on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064(e) and 15131(a)). Therefore, consistent with CEQA, the Class 32 includes an analysis of the project’s potentially significant physical impacts on the environment and does not include a discussion of economic harm.
Response to Comment VIII. Suggested conditions have been provided to address these concerns. Please see response to Comment II.
Response to Comment IX: This comment is conclusionary in nature and does not raise a specific issue with the adequacy of the Class 32. Because the comment does not express any specific concern or question regarding the adequacy of the Class 32, no further response is warranted.

The Issue
To:
The City of Huntington Beach
City Council, Planning Commission, and City
Attorney
Regarding:
Conditional Use Permit No. 22-011 / Coastal
Development Permit No. 22-009
Huntington Club – Bungalows & Lofts
(Agenda Item 26-039)
We, the undersigned residents and
stakeholders of the City of Huntington Beach,
respectfully petition the City to deny or
require further lawful review of the proposed
Huntington Club Bungalows & Lofts project,
as currently proposed, based on the following
concerns:
1. Improper Use of a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP)
The project proposes four bungalows and two
loft units intended for overnight stays of less
than 30 days. This constitutes a lodging or
quasi-hotel use, which is not a conditionally
permitted use within the Open Space–
Recreation (OS-PR) zoning district.
A Conditional Use Permit may not lawfully be
used to authorize a new or intensified land
use that exceeds the zoning code. Approval
of paid overnight lodging through a CUP
would exceed the City’s administrative
authority.
2. CEQA Class 32 Exemption Is Legally
Inapplicable
The City’s reliance on a Class 32 (In-Fill)
CEQA exemption is inappropriate because:
The addition of overnight lodging materially
intensifies the use of the property
The removal of four tennis courts alters the
functional character of the site
Proximity to residential uses creates potential
environmental impacts
The project may involve unusual
circumstances under CEQA Guidelines
§15300.2
CEQA requires evaluation of the whole of the
action, based on how the project will actually
operate, not how it is characterized.
3. Unequal Treatment Under Local Short-
Term Rental Law
Huntington Beach Municipal Code §5.120
prohibits residents from renting homes for
periods of less than 30 days, except under
narrow, express authorization.
Allowing a private landowner or club to
operate paid overnight accommodations
under a CUP—while residents are prohibited
from similar activity—creates unequal
treatment under the law and undermines
consistent enforcement of municipal
regulations.
4. Risk of Ultra Vires Approval
If the bungalows and lofts are constructed
and monetized as paid overnight
accommodations, approval through a CUP
would constitute an ultra vires act—an action
taken beyond the City’s legal authority—
exposing the City to legal and CEQA
challenge.
PETITION REQUEST
We respectfully request that the City of
Huntington Beach:
Deny the current CUP and CEQA exemption
for the bungalows and lofts; or
Require the applicant to pursue the
appropriate zoning amendment or legislative
entitlement; and
Ensure any future consideration complies
fully with CEQA, zoning law, and equal
treatment principles.
This petition is submitted to preserve the
integrity of the City’s land use process,
protect lawful zoning authority, and ensure
fair and consistent application of municipal
law.

To: City Clerk, City Attorney, Members of the Huntington Beach City Council, This email is submitted in advance of the upcoming City Council vote regarding matters involving or affecting the Huntington Club. It is intended to create a clear, formal record for the public and the Council. The submission combines a public comment-style disclosure request with a California Public Records Act (CPRA) request, and is made in a good-faith effort to ensure transparency, compliance with state and local law, and preservation of public confidence in Council decision-making.
Public Comment / Disclosure Request
Pursuant to the California Political Reform Act (Gov. Code §§ 81000–91014), including §§ 87100, 87103, and 87200, as well as applicable Huntington Beach City Charter and Municipal Code provisions regarding Council conduct, conflicts of interest, and disclosure, I respectfully request clarification and recordation on the following:
1. Whether any sitting City Council Member currently holds, or has within the past two years held, a membership at the Huntington Club.
2. If so, whether such memberships were obtained at full market rates, including initiation fees and dues, and whether any discounts, waivers, complimentary services, or other benefits were allegedly or potentially provided, to the extent any exist.
3. Whether any such relationships, to the extent they exist, have been properly disclosed on Form 700 filings and whether a conflict-of-interest analysis has been conducted to determine whether any Council Member with such a relationship may legally participate in this vote.
4. Whether any Council Member’s participation could reasonably foresee, allegedly or potentially, future financial benefits, privileges, or other emoluments arising from the Huntington Club or related entities.
5. Confirmation that appropriate recusals will be made, consistent with state law, FPPC regulations, and Huntington Beach Municipal Code / City Charter provisions, should any current or foreseeable interests exist.
This request is not an allegation of wrongdoing, but a good-faith effort to ensure compliance with California law, preserve the integrity of the Council’s decision-making, and maintain public confidence. I respectfully request that any response be addressed on the record prior to the vote.
CPRA Companion Request
In addition, pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Gov. Code §§ 6250–6276.48), I request access to the following public records, to the extent they exist and are maintained by the City:
1. Form 700 Statements of Economic Interests for all current City Council Members, including any reporting of Huntington Club memberships, dues, or other benefits.
2. Internal communications, memoranda, or correspondence documenting conflict-of-interest determinations, recusals, or analyses regarding Council Members’ potential financial interests, memberships, or benefits related to the Huntington Club, consistent with Gov. Code §§ 87100, 87103 and FPPC Regulations 18700 and 18702.5.
3. Any records regarding the reasonable foreseeability of future benefits, privileges, or emoluments to any Council Member arising from the Huntington Club or related entities in connection with this agenda item, consistent with state law and City Charter / Municipal Code obligations.
I respectfully request acknowledgment of receipt within 10 calendar days, consistent with Gov. Code § 6253(c), and a reasonable estimate for providing these records. If any portion of the records is withheld, please cite the specific statutory exemption relied upon. I request that any responsive records be provided electronically, if available, and included in the public record for this agenda item.
Thank you for your attention to this request. Please contact me if clarification is required.
Respectfully,
Elizabeth Hartman
