Analysis:
On September 11, 2018, the Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map No. 18147 to subdivide approximately 8.75 acres into 51 numbered lots for single-family residential purposes and five lettered lots (A-E) for private streets, public utilities, common areas, water quality purposes, and a 1.30-acre public park. The Planning Commission also approved General Plan Amendment No. 16-001, Zoning Map Amendment No. 16-002, Conditional Use Permit No. 16-031, and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 16-002 as part of the proposed project.
The Planning Commission discussed issues related to park maintenance between project approval and project construction, RV parking on the street, in-lieu affordable housing fees, additions and setbacks, and HOA maintenance.
The City Council approved the project on November 5, 2018. Pursuant to Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) Section 230.26 - Affordable Housing, ten percent of the 51 approved dwelling units are required to be affordable. Through the process, TRI Pointe Homes requested approval of a proposed Affordable Housing Agreement. The Windbourne Residential Agreement will restrict the sale of one (1) unit on-site to moderate income households for a period of 45 years and fund four (4) rental units at an off-site project for very low or extremely low-income persons for a period of 55 years, for a total of five (5.0) deed restricted units. Payment of a pro rata in-lieu fee is required with respect to the remaining fractional 0.1 unit.
Staff is working with several non-profits to create affordable rental units within the City of Huntington Beach.
