Zoning Changes
In 1988 it was zoned M1-A Restricted Manufacturing District. When did that change? Re-Zoning attempts made at the end of 2022 from Industrial Limited (IL) to Residential Medium High Density (RMHD), Thankfully it failed! But when did it get updated to Class A Industrial?

2023 HBFD
HBFD reviewed and approved sampling work plans from Partner to conduct sampling in 2023
Arsenic Found
07/18/2023 PARTNER performed a Phase II Subsurface Investigation Report (Phase II) for the Site, dated July 18, 2023, on behalf of Kelemen Company, to evaluate the potential impact of petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), PCBs, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), herbicides, metals, methane, and/or hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to soil and/or soil gas as a consequence of a release or releases from the onsite operations and oil production activities in the Site vicinity. None of the analyzed soil samples containedTPH, VOCs, PCBs, PAHs, and/or chlorinated herbicides above applicable screening criteria.Arsenic was detected in one of the analyzed soil samples (B13-5) at a concentration of 17 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), which exceeds the background concentration of 12 mg/kg. None of the remaining metals were detected in the analyzed soil samples exceeding commercial/industrial screening levels and typical background concentrations for California soil.
Geo Study 2023
Geotechnical Recommendations and Water study by PARTNER and ADS Aug 2023
VOC and Arsenic Exceeds Screening Levels
10/13/2023 PARTNER conducted an Additional Subsurface Investigation, dated October 13, 2023, at the Site to further evaluate the extent of VOC and/or arsenic impacts to soil and/or soil gas. PCE was detected in the analyzed soil gas samples at concentrations exceeding the commercial/industrial screening level. The previously detected benzene impacts in soil gas appear to be limited in nature and are not expected to represent a concern to the environment at this time. The PCE impacts appear to decrease to the east, south, and west of previous boring B3 and appear to be similar to the north of previous boring B3 in boring B22. PCE impacts also extend to at least 20 feet bgs in the vicinity of boring B3. The vertical extent and extent of PCE impacts to the north of previous boring B3and boring B22 are unknown. These detections indicate that there is a potential that the soil gas exceedances are a result of an on-site release rather than an off-site release. Based on the lack of vertical characterization of the PCE impacts, Partner recommended additional investigation to further evaluate the known PCE impacts in soil gas at the Site.
Methane gas testing needed
Due to the site history and the proximity of oil wells (less than 500 feet), this project will need to show compliance with City Specification #429, soil gas testing for methane gas is required. According to California Department of Conservation (DOC), Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) Southern District, no oil or gas wells are located on the subject property; however, the subject property is located within the Huntington Beach Oil Field. The closest oil well to the subject property, API 0405901826/HKR #1, is located approximately 430 feet to the east of the subject property. A methane sample plan shall be submitted to the City of Huntington Beach Fire Department for review and approval, prior to the commencement of sampling.
Soil Sampling Study
January 19, 2024, ABC advanced four borings to a terminal depth of 15 feet bgs using the direct push rig. At boring location B36, ABC cored the surface with a concrete coring machine. The asphalt slab was approximately 4 inches thick.
Soil Gas Study
01/25/2024: Two soil gas samples were collected on January 25, 2024, and transported to Jones Environmental, Inc. (JEI), a state-certified laboratory (SWRCB ELAP Certificate number 2882) in Santa Fe Springs, California to be analyzed for VOCs in accordance with EPA Method 8260B. Each soil gas probe was allowed to equilibrate for at least 48 hours prior to purging and sampling.
Study Results - Partner
02/02/2024: Based on the results of this investigation, Partner concludes that the subsurface has been impacted with VOCs, in part, from an on-Site release. It is Partner’s understanding that the Site will be redeveloped for commercial use in the future. Partner recommends remediating the subsurface VOC impacts at the Site to mitigate the risk of vapor intrusion in the future redevelopment and reduce groundwater impacts.

HB City partnered with Triple H Properties LLC
HB signed agreement with David Higman of Triple H Properties LLC to get reimbursed for EIR Report. According to CA Gov Code Section 87103.3
Inadequate Noise Study
11/8/2024 Friday afternoon an inadequate noise study was completed in and around the project site. ** Full EIR needs to take sound samples from a similar warehouse for at least one hour, not one movement to a loading dock. The baseline study is the sound recorded at an existing facility similar in nature. The sound study should include a trailer connecting to a tractor, backing up, dropping off a trailer, and disconnecting the brake system. During and after business hours. 7am-10pm then 10pm-7am baseline is low density residential 50/70 dBA **
Traffic Increase Estimates
The project proposes to demolish a 5,172-square-foot building and lumber yard facility to construct two industrial warehouse buildings totaling 186,680 square feet. Compared to the existing land use on the site, the Project will generate 56 more daily trips, with 64 more trips in the morning peak hour and 53 more trips in the evening peak hour.
Emissions Rate
Vehicle DPM emissions were calculated using emission factors for particulate matter less than 10µm in diameter (PM10) generated with the 2021 version of the EMission FACtor model (EMFAC) developed by the CARB. EMFAC 2021 is a mathematical model that CARB developed to calculate emission rates from motor vehicles that operate on highways, freeways, and local roads in California and is commonly used by CARB to project changes in future emissions from on-road mobile sources (7). The most recent version of this model, EMFAC 2021, incorporates regional motor vehicle data, information and estimates regarding the distribution of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by speed, and number of starts per day.

The IS/MND will be available for public review and comment for a 20-day review period. Ending 12/1/2025
Initial Comments
11/20/2025: The comments on record after the initial NOI included one from the City of Huntington Beach, Planning Commissioner, Brian Thienes (BT)—November 20, 2025 .... The commenter indicates that the “Environmental Impact Report” should consider the proximity of the proposed Project to the existing residential properties to the south. The commenter adds that maintaining the existing masonry wall along the south property line will not provide sufficient screening and sound protection to the residential neighborhood to the South. A reference is made to other agencies’ requirements for a 14-foot-tall screen wall between industrial uses and residential uses. The comment concludes that a 14-foot screen wall should be constructed along the south property line and set back from the ultimate right-of-way for Taylor Drive to meet the current zoning building setback, which in their opinion is 10 feet....

PSOMAS Noise Summary
"Furthermore, it is highly recommend that the use of backup alarms be prohibited during the nighttime hours unless they are absolutely necessary due to safety concerns. The pure tone from backup alarms could result in community complaints due to heightened sensitivity during nighttime hours, even if they dont result in levels that exceed the applicable noise limits. " page 7
DETERMINATION by Lead Agency
I (Joanna Cortez ) find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. (Eventhough a $100k has already been contracted with the city for EIR) page 35 of MND
