All that portion of Farm Lot 22 of the Alamitos Tract, in the City of Signal Hill, County of Los Angeles, State of California, as shown on map recorded in Book 36, Page 37, et seq., of miscellaneous records, in the office of the County Recorder of said County, lying east of a line parallel with and 265.88 feet west of the center line of Temple Avenue and lying north of a line parallel with and 219.56 feet north of the center line of 19th Street, as established on January 20, 1948, and lying southwest of the southwest line of Price and Peterson Tract, as shown on Map recorded in Book 12, Page 85 of maps, records of said County; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Signal Hill Municipal Code, Chapter 20.86, entitled “Amendments,” the subject is properly a matter for Planning Commission review and recommendation for City Council adoption; and WHEREAS, the rezoning of the site from Residential High Density (RH) to The Courtyard Specific Plan (SP-21) is consistent in use and does not exceed the maximum density of the 1.3, High Density Residential designation on the Generalized Land Use Map; and WHEREAS, the Specific Plan would allow for a minimum lot size of 2,038.67 square feet per unit for lot 7 (2,100 square feet minimum in the RH zone), a 13’-7” setback from Temple Avenue for Unit 1 (20’ minimum in the RH zone), a maximum 22 inch projection into the side yard setback (18 inch maximum projection in the RH zone), an 18 inch open trellis projection into the Temple Avenue setback for Unit 1 which is technically not a front yard setback, but functions visually as one (open trellis not permitted in front yard setback in the RH zone), a maximum 30 percent hardscape material within Temple Avenue setback for Lot 8 (25 percent maximum in the RH zone), a minimum two-car garage plus one assigned surface parking space per dwelling unit (four parking spaces for a four-bedroom unit in the RH zone), a minimum 9’ x 20’ surface parking space (10’ x 20’ minimum in the RH zone), and allow a maximum fence and wall height of 5’-6” in the front yard and 6’-6” in the side and rear yard setbacks (four foot and six foot maximum in the RH zone, respectively) consistent with the site plan for Site Plan and Design Review 24-01; and WHEREAS, on March 21, 2024, a duly noticed neighborhood meeting was held in the City Council Chamber of City Hall. Two individuals from the neighboring northern property were in attendance. During the meeting, staff provided an overview of the planning process, the applicant presented preliminary plans, and the community members offered feedback. The primary concerns raised from Units 101 and 102 Temple View condominiums included 1) The distance of the proposed Dwelling Unit. 1, resulting in the second-story roofs being in close proximity to the neighboring northern property’s patios, and 2) The height of the proposed Dwelling Unit 1 second story and roof blocking the view of Temple Avenue from both property’s patios; and WHEREAS, It was determined that the view impacts for Units 101 and 102 of the Temple View condominiums are neither primary nor secondary and therefore are unprotected views of non-eligible street and sky vistas. Since these views are neither the only views nor of a unique landmark, the report concluded that there is no significant impact; and WHEREAS, the applicant voluntarily modified the project design particularly for Dwelling Unit 1 located on the northeast portion of the project site in an effort to further reduce project impacts by preserving the non-eligible street and sky views for Units 101 and 102 of the Temple View condominiums; and WHEREAS, after conducting outreach to those with concerns, no further issues were raised; and WHEREAS, on October 15, 2024, a duly noticed public hearing was held before the Planning Commission, and all interested parties were given an opportunity to comment on the Project and associated documents; and WHEREAS, the Project is considered a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act; and WHEREAS, at the Planning Commission public hearing, the Commission considered the Project, its potential environmental impacts, and all evidence presented; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council adopt Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) SCH #2024100062 related to Tentative Tract Map 74232, Site Plan and Design Review 24-01, and Zoning Ordinance Amendment 24-01 in satisfaction of the California Environmental Quality Act, and adopt Zoning Ordinance Amendment 24-01; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Signal Hill Municipal Code, Chapter 20.52, entitled “Site Plan and Design Review,” the Planning Commission reviewed and approved Tentative Tract Map 74232 and Site Plan and Design Review (SPDR) 24-01 in compliance with the conditions of approval and contingent upon City Council review and adoption of IS/MND SCH #202410006 and Zoning Ordinance Amendment 24-012; and WHEREAS, on November 1, 2024, notice of the City Council public hearing regarding the proposed request was mailed to all property owners and residents within 500 feet of the subject property, was published in the Signal Tribune newspaper, and was posted in accordance with Signal Hill Municipal Code Section 1.08.010; and WHEREAS, the materials and related documents have been made publicly available prior to the date of the public hearing; and WHEREAS, on November 12, 2024, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing regarding IS/MND SCH #2024100062 and Zoning Ordinance 24-01 and all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard regarding the request; and WHEREAS, the City has incorporated all comments received and responses thereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Signal Hill, California, does hereby find as follows:
That Zoning Ordinance Amendment 24-01 is consistent with applicable State law.
That the City Council has reviewed Zoning Ordinance Amendment 24-01 and found the proposed amendment to be in the best interest of the community and its health, safety and general welfare in that it is consistent with the following Goals and Policies of the Signal Hill General Plan:
LAND USE ELEMENT GOAL 1 – Manage growth to achieve a well-balanced land use pattern that accommodates existing and future needs for housing, commercial, and industrial land, open space, and community facilities and services, while maintaining a healthy, diversified economy adequate to provide future City revenues.
Land Use Policy 1.2 – Provide opportunities for a variety of residential densities and housing styles.
Finding regarding Land Use Policy 1.2 – The proposed residential development provides eight above moderate (income level) single-family residential dwellings. Development of the project will assist the City in meeting its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) goal for 2021-2029.
Land Use Policy 1.3 – Support the maintenance of residential areas and encourage in-fill of vacant lots close to transportation, municipal facilities, and shopping opportunities.
Finding regarding Land Use Policy 1.3 – The proposed project is an infill parcel with three existing storage structures onsite. The project is located on the west side of Temple Avenue between East 19th and East 20th Streets and is surrounded by condominium complexes on the north, west, and south and single-family on the east. The project site is less than one mile to commercial uses and public transportation systems on Pacific Coast Highway.
LAND USE ELEMENT GOAL 2 – Ensure that new development is consistent with the City’s circulation system, availability of public facilities, existing development constraints and the City’s unique characteristic and natural resources.
Land Use Policy 2.6 – Encourage the development of oil field areas through the removal or relocation of wells and pipelines, or with site plan designs that encourage the joint use of land for oil production and other urban uses while maintaining essential access to petroleum resources.
Finding regarding Land Use Policy 2.6 – The site plan and building placement are subject to Commission-level Site Plan and Design Review. Two plugged/abandoned oil wells are present on the project site. Both wells were located, excavated, and tested for methane leaking, then surveyed and a vent cone installed. The project has been designed to ensure both abandoned wells are accessible in an emergency capacity and that no habitable structures will be placed on top of or within close proximity to them. Well #79 is located near proposed open parking spaces, providing a 10-foot unobstructed radius from the nearest structure and more than 10 feet of clearance from the nearest property lines, allowing for unobstructed access to the wellhead if needed. Similarly, Well #3 is located near proposed open parking spaces, providing a 10-foot radius that is partially unobstructed by a four-foot-tall removable metal picket fence. The fence is designed and installed to be easily removed, ensuring full access to the adjacent wellhead, when necessary, with more than 10 feet of clearance from the nearest property lines.
LAND USE ELEMENT GOAL 3 – Assure a safe, healthy, and aesthetically pleasing community for residents and businesses.
Land Use Policy 3.7 – Maintain and enhance the quality of residential neighborhoods.
Finding regarding Land Use Policy 3.7 – The proposed project is an infill site that will replace three existing, dilapidated buildings previously used for storage. The dwelling units feature a modern, simplified Spanish style architecture including concrete tiled roofs, fine textured stucco finish, decorative Bermuda style awnings, metal window flower shelves, accent iron cross bars, forged steel baluster railings, and Arto Tile Arabesque accent tiles. The development incorporates architectural diversity by providing three exterior elevation designs and two different color schemes. There are four variations of entry porches, four entry door designs, three garage door styles, and several overhang roof style and rooftop configurations, all featuring photovoltaic solar structures.
Land Use Policy 3.18 – Minimize the impacts of stormwater runoff to the maximum extent practicable on the biology, water quality and integrity of natural drainage systems and water bodies.
Finding regarding Land Use Policy 3.18 – The Project Site currently accepts storm water runoff from the adjacent Smart Homes project property to the northwest (7216-020-012), which drains into the municipal storm drain system. As part of this project, the Smart Homes applicant reached out to the Courtyard applicant to secure an agreement for shared sewer and stormwater facilities. The stormwater and sewer from the Smart Homes property will be collected via separate stormwater and sewer lines in compliance with the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works and discharged toward Temple Avenue within a six-foot-wide public service easement. This easement between the two parties has been approved by the City Engineer and was recently recorded for the purpose of installing, maintaining, repairing, renewing, and replacing an underground sanitary sewer line, sump pump, and stormwater drain line. Additionally, the proposed project includes a stormwater drainage and erosion control system designed to manage stormwater runoff from both sites. The system features a series of inlet drains, catch basins, a trench drain, and permeable pavement that directs water into an underground modular polypropylene “CUDO” storage system. The project will comply with the City’s Low Impact Development (LID) standards which require that the site must be treated with LID Best Management Practices (BMPs) prior to discharge.
Land Use Policy 3.19 – Maximize to the extent possible the percentage of permeable surfaces to allow more percolation of stormwater runoff into the ground.
Finding regarding Land Use Policy 3.19 – The project includes landscaped backyards and common areas. The private driveway, surface parking, and rear yard patios have been designed to use decorative permeable pavers to allow for percolation of stormwater on-site.
CIRCULATION ELEMENT GOAL 1 – Ensure that new development results in the preservation and enhancement of the City’s circulation system.
Circulation Policy 1.f. – Ensure that new development provides adequate parking for anticipated uses; however, reductions in parking requirements should be considered where alternative modes for transportation or shared parking exist.
Finding regarding Circulation Policy 1.f. – Onsite parking for the project complies with the multi-family parking standard even though the residential product type being proposed is single-family. The project provides two parking spaces within an enclosed garage and one designated surface parking space for each dwelling unit. Additionally, two guest parking spaces are located at the west end of the project site, positioned on each end of the hammerhead.
HOUSING ELEMENT GOAL 1 – Accommodate the housing needs of all income groups as quantified by Regional Housing Needs Assessment.
Housing Element 2021-2029 Program Category #1 Goal – Accommodate the housing needs of all income groups as quantified by Regional Housing Needs Assessment.
Finding regarding Housing Element 2021-2029 Program Category #1 Goal – Development of eight new single-family detached dwelling units sold at market rate will assist the City in meeting its 188 above moderate-income Regional Housing Needs Assessment. The project’s development will be reported with the City’s annual progress report which is sent to the State Department of Housing and Community Development when the building permits are issued.

A. Application of the Specific Plan Concept. A Specific Plan and its function may be described by comparison with the General Plan. The General Plan expresses, in very broad terms, the City’s planning of its future environment, generally on a long-term basis. Adopted by the City as a legislative act, the General Plan may be amended, as required by changing circumstances. The Specific Plan, on the other hand, is a device used to implement the General Plan by focusing on a particular parcel or parcels. The Specific Plan sets standards, against which developments can be judged, and imposes controls on the use of the subject parcels. The Specific Plan replaces the existing zoning designation and is more detailed than a General Plan.
The intent and purpose of this chapter is to establish a Specific Plan to guide the physical development of a particular geographic area within the City. The subject site is constrained due to the size, site configuration (deep and narrow), location of two abandoned oil wells, and potential view impacts to adjacent residential and commercial developments. The site is an infill parcel primarily surrounded by existing high density residential developments to the immediate north, south, and west, and single-family development to the east across Temple Avenue. In an effort to mitigate these constraints and to accommodate the City’s diverse housing needs, the concepts, regulations and conditions set forth in the SP-21, The Courtyard Specific Plan, are added to provide for the development of the site with single-family detached dwellings.
The specific plan has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the California Government Code Sections 64540 through 65507, and addresses all of the issues and topics specified in that code.
B. Location and Boundary. The Specific Plan includes an area of approximately 0.59-acres generally located on the west side of Temple Avenue between 20th and 19th Streets. The boundaries of the area are more specifically set forth in Tentative Tract Map 74232.
C. Goals and Objectives. Goals for the development within the SP-21, The Courtyard Specific Plan, include the following:
1. Reduce the density allowed on the site from 12 dwelling units to 8 dwelling units; and
2. Encourage the development of privately owned detached single-family dwellings; and
3. Provide architectural diversity and avoid uniformity of appearance while achieving a streetscape with pedestrian scale and ambiance consistent with Signal Hill’s small town character.
20.28.020 Adoption of SP-21, The Courtyard Specific Plan. The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all property shown as SP-21, The Courtyard Specific Plan on the official zoning map.
