REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

SUBMITTED BY: Travis Hopkins, City Manager

VIA: Jennifer Villasenor, Director of Community Development

PREPARED BY: Jason Kelley, Senior Planner

Subject:
title
Approve Zoning Text Amendment No. 25-003 (Reapplication Process for Group Homes) by approving for introduction Ordinance Nos. 4340 and 4341
body

Statement of Issue:
Transmitted for City Council's consideration is Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 25-003, a City Council initiated request to amend the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO) by prohibiting group homes from reapplying for permits for five years from the date of the denial or revocation of a permit. There is also an accompanying amendment to incorporate the same provisions into the Municipal Code.

Financial Impact:
Not Applicable

Recommended Action:
recommendation
A) Find Zoning Text Amendment No. 25-003 and amendment to Municipal Code Chapter 5.110 exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 4501, Class 20, which supplements the California Environmental Quality Act because the request is a minor amendment to the municipal code and zoning ordinance that does not change the development standards intensity or density; and,

B) Approve Zoning Text Amendment No. 25-003 with findings (Attachment No. 1) and approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4341, "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Chapter 230.28 Group Homes of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (Zoning Text Amendment No. 25-003)"; (Attachment No. 2); and,

C) Approve amendment to Municipal Code Chapter 5.110 and approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4340, "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Chapter 5.110 Group Homes of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Titled Group Homes" (Attachment No. 3).
