NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach resolves as
follows:
Section 1: The City Council has considered the decision of the Planning
Commission and determined that modifications to the Project made by the City Council,
if any, are not major changes that require referral back to the Planning Commission for
consideration and recommendation.
Section 2: The City Council does hereby uphold the Planning Commission's
approval of a major site development review and coastal development permit subject to
the conditions of approval set forth in Exhibit "B," which is attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.
Section 3: In accordance with Subsection VII (C) (Back Bay Landing PCDP
Implementation/Site Development Review— Findings) of the NBMC, the following findings
and facts in support of such findings are set forth for the Project:
Finding of Consistency with Section VII(C)(1):
The development shall be in compliance with the General Plan, Coastal Land Use Plan,
Back Bay Landing Planned Community Development Plan, including design guidelines,
and any other applicable plan or criteria related to the development.
Resolution No. 2024-28
Page 4 of 18
Facts in Support of Finding with Section VII(C)(1):
1. The Property is categorized as Mixed -Use Water 2 (MU-W2) by the General Plan
Land Use Element, which is applied to waterfront locations in which marine related
uses may be intermixed with buildings that provide residential on the upper floors.
For nonresidential buildings, the MU-W2 has a maximum floor area to land ratio
("FAR") of 0.5. The Property is 14,592 square feet in area and the Project is 7,244
square feet, resulting in a FAR of 0.49. Additionally, the Property is a part of
Anomaly 80 of the General Plan Land Use Plan. Anomaly 80 includes the Property
as well as 100 Bayside Drive, which is the site of the future Back Bay Landing
Mixed -Use Village and sets a development limit of 131,290 square feet for
nonresidential development within the Anomaly. The Back Bay Landing Planned
Community (PC-9) Zoning District sets additional nonresidential development limits
for the future Back Bay Landing development, which is 61,534 square feet for
commercial and 32,500 square feet for dry stack boat storage, for a total of 94,034
square feet of future nonresidential development. The addition of the 7,244 square
foot pump station results in a total of 101,278 square feet, which is within the
development limit of Anomaly 80. The Project is a replacement of an existing pump
station, which has existed at the Property since 1966, and provides essential
infrastructure to adjacent neighborhoods. The replacement facility is designed in
part to ensure continued safe operation of the facility with modern equipment
meeting current code standards to safeguard against sewage spills.
2. The Property is categorized as Mixed -Use Water Related (MU-W) by the CLUP,
which is intended to provide for commercial development on or near the bay in a
manner that will encourage the continuation of coastal dependent and coastal -
related uses and visitor -serving uses, as well as allow for the development of
mixed -use structures with residential uses above the ground floor. For
nonresidential buildings, the Mixed -Use Water Related (MU-W) has a maximum
FAR of 0.5. Additionally, CLUP Policy 2.1.9.1 limits the maximum floor area to what
is established in General Plan Land Use Element Anomaly 80, as discussed in
Fact 1 in support of Finding VII(C)(1) above. Furthermore, the additional size of the
proposed station, including the new odor control building is necessary to meet current
functional requirements of a modern pump station.
3. The Property is located in the Back Bay Landing Planned Community (PC-9)
Zoning and Coastal Zoning District. Specifically, the Property is categorized by PC-
9 as Planning Area 1 (Mixed -Use Area) where a wastewater pump station is a
permitted use. Per Section 2 of PC-9 (Development Limits and Land Use Plan),
Resolution No. 2024-28
Page 5 of 18
the Orange County Sanitation District wastewater pump station shall not be
counted towards square footage development limits of the PC. Per Section 3 of
PC-9 (Permitted Uses), the initial construction of any new structure, or the
significant reconstruction or major addition to an existing structure requires a Site
Development Review pursuant to Section VII of PC-9.
4. Per Section IV (B) (Development Standards — Permitted Height of Structures), the
maximum building height within Planning Area 1 shall not exceed 30 feet for flat
roofs and 35 feet for sloped roofs. The height of the buildings is measured from a
baseline elevation of 14 feet NAVD 88, as required by Exhibit 3 of PC-9. The
proposed electrical and generator building features a sloped roof design with
parapet walls which is 22 feet. The proposed odor control building features a flat
roof design with parapet walls which is 15.5 feet. All proposed buildings comply
with the required height requirements of PC-9. Furthermore, the proposed height
of the building accounts for the raised floor to floor protection, electrical and
mechanical equipment for station operation, and screening for rooftop HVAC
equipment.
5. Per Section IV (A) (Development Standards — Setback Requirements), a minimum
10-foot landscape buffer is required to be provided to the back of sidewalk.
Additionally, in Section IV (E) (Development Standards — Landscaping), a detailed
landscape and irrigation plan is required which demonstrates compliance with
applicable landscaping requirements specified in the NBMC. Furthermore,
landscaped areas shall only consist of native plants or non-native drought tolerant
plants which are non-invasive. Per Section A.4.d of Section IV, encroachments
may be permitted through a Site Development Review. While the Project provides
a 10-foot landscaping buffer on a small portion of the East Coast Highway frontage,
the remaining landscape along East Coast Highway varies between approximately
9 feet and 6 feet in depth. However, the proposed landscaping meets the intent of
PC-9, which includes reflecting the Project's coastal marine location, providing
creative plant combinations, installing an efficient irrigation system, and preserving
and enhancing view corridors. The Project includes low-water, drought tolerant
plants which includes a mixture of deer grass, slipper plant, foxtail agave, and red
yucca plant types located at the East Coast Highway frontage of the Project. Since
the Project includes property line walls along East Coast Highway for security
purposes, the proposed landscape is appropriate to break up the mass of the walls
and improve the overall aesthetics of the Project as viewed from East Coast
Highway. The proposed plants are relatively low profile in height and will not
diminish any view corridors as identified in PC-9.
Resolution No. 2024-28
Page 6 of 18
Finding of Consistency with Section VII(C)(2):
The development shall not be incompatible with the character of the neighboring uses
and surrounding sites.
Facts in Support of Finding with Section VII(C)(2):
1. The Property is located on East Coast Highway between Bayside Drive and the
Bay Bridge. Adjacent to the Property is the Bayside Village Marina, which includes
visitor serving uses and a recreational vehicle storage parking lot. This adjacent
property is intended to be developed with a future mixed -use waterfront village in
accordance with PC-9. Additional surrounding uses include the Bayside Village
Mobile Home Park to the north and east across Bayside Drive, a restaurant and
the Balboa Marina to the south across East Coast Highway, and various
commercial uses to the southeast including a gas station, shopping center, and
automobile dealerships.
2. The existing Bay Bridge Pump Station structure was constructed in 1966, and
consequently upgraded with new pumps, piping, and ventilation in 1995. In 2014,
an additional pump was added for increased capacity and reliability. The existing
pump station is over 50 years old and requires replacement to serve the City, which
pumps wastewater flow generated by residents and businesses west of Newport
Bay, including Balboa Island and Crystal Cove. The pump station receives
wastewater from a pump station in Crystal Cove, and pumps wastewater to
another treatment facility located in the City of Huntington Beach. The proposed
pump station has modernized architecture which improves the neighborhood
aesthetics.
3. The construction of replacement force mains located on the western side of the
Bay Bridge is not incompatible with neighboring uses, which includes the Bayshore
Apartments to the south, a boat marina directly east, and the end of the Bay Bridge
to the north. The construction of a new vault to house the force mains is a
necessary part of the pump station. The new force mains are an upgrade to aging
infrastructure that will better serve the surrounding area and is screened from
public view within an existing vault. The existing vault, which is located on both the
public right-of-way and private property, is to be abandoned in place. The public
right-of-way area where the new vault is proposed includes new landscaping to
further enhance the area for pedestrians, motorists, and nearby residents.
Resolution No. 2024-28
Page 7 of 18
4. The Project includes structures that are 22 feet and 15.5 feet tall. While it is taller
and larger in area than the existing pump station, it is not out of scale with the
existing and potential future surrounding uses. The architectural design utilizes a
cantilevered roof overhang with a low profile and integrates materials and details
which are consistent with surrounding coastal uses. The design includes a variety
of colors and finishes such as stone and stucco to create architectural interest.
Furthermore, to ensure architectural compatibility with the potential future Back
Bay Landing Mixed -Use Project, a condition of approval stipulates that at the
request and to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director, the
Applicant shall make future alterations to the exterior fagade for consistency and
compatibility with the architecture of a future approved Back Bay Landing Mixed -
Use Project.
Finding of Consistency with Section VII(C)(3):
The development shall be sited and designed to maximize the aesthetic quality of the
project as viewed from surrounding roadways, properties, and waterfront, with special
consideration given to providing a variety of building heights, massing, and architectural
treatments to provide public views through the site.
Facts in Support of Finding with Section VII(C)(3):
1. Fact 4 in support of Finding of Consistency with Section VII(C)(1) is hereby
incorporated by reference.
2. Fact 4 in support of Finding of Consistency with Section VII(C)(2) is hereby
incorporated by reference.
3. Section 5 (Design Guidelines) of PC-9 provide guidelines intended to express the
desired character of the future mixed -use waterfront village that helps achieve
overall consistency of architectural quality. The guidelines call for a "coastal
architectural theme" and flexible design, provided a project follows principles of
quality design and exhibits a high level of architectural standards and compatibility
with surrounding area. The Project is designed with a modern coastal architectural
theme, incorporating a modern design with a cantilevered roof overhang and an
integration of materials and details that is compatible the surrounding coastal
context. The buildings avoid long, continuous blank walls with a simple fagade
composition of a base and top separated by different colors. There is a mixture of
heights and roof types (sloping and flat) to create visual interest.
Resolution No. 2024-28
Page 8 of 18
4. The Project emphasizes clean lines, simplicity and avoids excessive
ornamentation, which will more easily allow for future modifications per PC-9
design guidelines so that it would be visually consistent with the future Back Bay
Landing Mixed -Use Village. Per Section 5.D.10, the building exterior will be
aesthetically improved with entirely new buildings and perimeter walls to reflect
PC-9 design standards. The Project considers future residents, businesses, and
patrons of the Back Bay Landing Mixed -Use Village by including louvers which are
designed to conceal the odor control facility, and screening for on -site mechanical
equipment. The simple clean lines and avoidance of excessive ornamentation
allows the coast's natural beauty to be prominent which is consistent with the
concept of coastal architectural design.
5. Landscaping is proposed along the East Coast Highway frontage, which further
reduces the massing of the property walls. The landscape buffer also enhances
the appearance of the public right-of-way so that the Project does not appear
walled off from public viewsheds. The landscape buffer will improve the overall
aesthetic of the Project from East Coast Highway, which is identified as a coastal
view road by the CLUP.
6. The Project is designed to preserve the six view corridors conceptually identified
by PC-9. The existing view of the Back Bay bluff to the north of the Project, as well
as views of the bay through other portions of the future Back Bay Landing, are not
obstructed by the Project.
Finding of Consistency with Section VII(C)(4):
Site plan and layout of buildings, parking areas, pedestrian and vehicular access ways,
landscaping and other site features shall give proper consideration to functional aspects
of site development.
Facts in Support of Finding with Section VII(C)(4):
1. The Property is located on East Coast Highway between Bayside Drive and the
Bay Bridge. This adjacent property is the site of the future Back Bay Landing
project, which is a mixed -use waterfront village which has not yet been
constructed. Currently, vehicular access to the existing pump station is through a
curb cut on East Coast Highway, followed by gates that are opened for vehicles to
Resolution No. 2024-28
Page 9 of 18
access. The existing access is challenging due to traffic on East Coast Highway
and the necessity for vehicles to drive across the public right-of-way.
2. While an access gate will remain adjacent to East Coast Highway, it will be used
only for when access at the Bayside Drive entrance is temporarily hindered. To
improve access, the Applicant proposes access through a permanent access
easement taken through Bayside Drive and into the Back Bay Landing property at
100 Bayside Drive. As described by the certified environmental impact report
("EIR"), the Project would require a maximum of approximately 15 vehicle trips per
week for staff to perform period maintenance, inspections of facilities and
equipment, and/or chemical deliveries. Since a similar number of trips are required
for the existing pump station, the Project is not expected to result in additional
vehicle trips.
3. The overall layout of structures is efficiently arranged on a constrained lot and is
designed to accommodate service vehicle access and maneuvering requirements.
4. Fact 5 in support of Finding of Consistency with Section VII(C)(1) is hereby
incorporated by reference.
Finding of Consistency with Section VII(C)(5):
The development shall not be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of the
City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience,
health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood of the proposed development.
Facts in Support of Finding with Section VII(C)(5):
1. The Project provides essential infrastructure to the surrounding community for
waste management and a pump station has existed in this location for many
decades. Orange County Sanitation District has aging infrastructure throughout
the City and it is typical for utilities such as the Project to be replaced and
upgraded. The Project improves an existing pump station, which serves the overall
community as part of a larger wastewater collection system.
2. The Project includes a new odor control room, which the existing facility currently
lacks. The odor control room is included to mitigate odors from the Property to the
surrounding neighborhood and includes treatment for both liquid and vapor phase
Resolution No. 2024-28
Page 10 of 18
waste. The odor control room accounts for a significant portion of the expanded
footprint of the Project.
3. The Project includes buildings both below and above grade which are larger in
area than the existing pump station. The above -grade structures include an
electrical room, generator room, and odor control structure. The electrical room
includes increased clearances between electrical equipment per Orange County
Sanitation District standards which provides safety for electricians while
performing maintenance. The new underground pump also requires a larger
underground footprint to meet current industry standards. Since the existing pump
station was constructed nearly 60 years ago, increases in working clearances and
equipment types and sizes is expected which leads to the overall increase in the
Project footprint.
4. The Project uses equipment with lower noise. The highest noise producer of the
Project is the standby generator, which is to be used in emergency situation if there
is a power outage. The generator is proposed to be enclosed in a building with
sound attenuation panels and is not expected to negatively affect surrounding
uses.
5. The Applicant has provided a Site Photometric Plan and Lighting Plans which
describe the Project's lighting around the Property. There are lights proposed to
be attached to the Electrical Room, Generator Room, and Odor Control Area, with
minimal lighting around the interior of the perimeter security walls. The Project's
lighting is conditioned to comply with the outdoor lighting standards of the NBMC
and will not negatively affect surrounding uses. As conditioned, the Director may
order the dimming of light sources or other remediation upon finding that the site
is excessively illuminated.
6. If the pump station facility were to fail, sewage would build up in upstream sewers
and could result in an overflow from the lowest elevation manhole upstream from
the Property. Furthermore, backups and/or spills could occur at specific residences
or businesses that have sewer laterals lower than the lowest elevation manhole. If
the force mains in the bay were to fail, a sewage spill could occur into the bay. The
Project seeks to upgrade the existing pump station and provide improvements to
an existing utility which serves a large portion of the city.
Resolution No. 2024-28

Section 4: In accordance with Section 21.52.015(F) (Coastal Development
Permits - Findings and Decision) of the NBMC, the following findings and facts in support
of such findings as set forth:
Findinq of Consistency with Section 21.52.015(F)(1):
The development shall not be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of the
City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience,
health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood of the proposed development.
Facts in Support of Finding with 21.52.015(F)(1):
1. Facts 2 through 5 in support of Finding of Consistency with Section VII(C)(1) are
hereby incorporated by reference.
2. Facts 1 and 2 in support of Finding of Consistency with Section VII(C)(2) are
hereby incorporated by reference.
3. A Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis was prepared by Arcadis
U.S., Inc. dated October 1, 2023, for the Project. The current maximum bay water
elevation is 7.7 NAVD 88 (North American Vertical Datum of 1988 ("NAVD88")
Based on the State of California's Sea Level Rise Guidance, the sea level rise for
the Los Angeles region is 6.6 feet NAVD 88, under the H++ scenario. Since the
life expectancy of the new pump station is approximately 50 years, the 6.6-foot sea
level rise for the year 2080 is appropriate to use for evaluation of the Project.
Therefore, the sea level is estimated to reach approximately 14.3 feet NAVD88
(7.7 + 6.6 feet NAVD 88). The finished floor elevation of the electrical room and
entrance to the dry well is 15.5 feet, which provides more than adequate protection
from sea level rise. The generator room has a finished floor elevation of 14.17 feet.
While slightly under the 14.3-footsea level rise elevation projection, the generator
is proposed to be mounted on a 2-foot-high fuel tank and the generator panels will
be mounted 3.5 feet above the finished floor, which will provide adequate
protection from flooding. For the Odor Control area, there is a proposed finished
floor elevation of 14 feet. Equipment within the area is proposed to be mounted on
pads higher than 14.3 feet NAVD 88, to protect from cases of flooding. Additionally,
temporary flood barriers such as sandbags can be deployed for openings during
flooding situations. Finally, the Applicant is proposing to waterproof a portion of the
Odor Control area's block walls to provide additional protection from flooding.
Resolution No. 2024-28
Page 12 of 18
4. The Project includes the construction of upgraded replacement force mains, which
run from the Property onto the western side of the Bay Bridge through micro -
tunneling. The new force mains are an upgrade to aging infrastructure that will
better serve the surrounding area and is screened from public view within an
existing vault. The existing vault, which is located on both the public right-of-way
and private property, is to be abandoned in place. The public right-of-way area
where the new vault is proposed includes new landscaping to further enhance the
area for pedestrians, motorists, and nearby residents.
5. The Applicant submitted a Construction Management Plan ("CMP") prepared by
Arcadis U.S., Inc., dated October 2023, which documents the construction phase
implementation, construction requirements and quality control, and traffic control
associated with the construction of the Project. The CMP discusses construction
easements at the Property for construction access as well as offsite staging areas
at Lower Castaways Park and the Orange County Sanitation District Plant No. 2 in
Huntington Beach. A Temporary License Agreement was approved by City Council
on September 12, 2023, allowing for the siting of office trailers, temporary staging
and storage of construction equipment and materials, and the parking of vehicles
to support the Project during construction. The agreement is for a limited basis only
and includes a term until December 31, 2028, or the completion of the Project,
whichever first occurs. The CMP also includes a Traffic Control Plan which includes
closing of necessary sidewalks during construction hours and re -opening during
non -working hours. The Traffic Control Plan has been reviewed by the City's Public
Works department and has been determined to be sufficient to minimize traffic
impacts during the construction period.
6. The Property is located in an area known for the potential of seismic activity and
liquefaction and is required to comply with the California Building Code ("CBC") and
City's Building Division standards and policies. Geotechnical investigations
specifically addressing liquefaction are required to be reviewed and approved prior
to the issuance of building permits. Permit issuance is also contingent on the
inclusion of design mitigation identified in the investigations. Construction plans are
reviewed for compliance with approved investigations and CBC requirements prior
to building permit issuance.
7. The Property is located on East Coast Highway between Bayside Drive and the
Back Bay Bridge. East Coast Highway and Bayside Drive (south of East Coast
Highway) are identified as a Coastal View Roads by the CLUP. The Property
Resolution No. 2024-28
Page 13 of 18
currently includes multiple pump station buildings, visible mechanical equipment,
security block walls and vegetation which impair the view of the back bay. This
specific pump station has existed since its original construction in 1966.
Additionally, the adjacent Recreational Vehicle Storage parking lot includes many
recreational vehicles which also impair the view of the bay. The Project includes a
22-foot high electrical and generator room above a subterranean pump room on
the west of the property. There is also a 15.5-foot-high odor control building to the
east of the property. Site walls are proposed for security purposes but do not
exceed the height of the proposed buildings. From East Coast Highway, the Project
does not impair the existing view of the bay and maintains a view of the Back Bay
bluff to the north. Two nearby Public Viewpoints are identified as part of a
pedestrian trail at Castaways Park, located approximately 1,500 feet northwest of
the Property. When viewing the Property from Castaways Park, East Coast
Highway, the Back Bay Channel and marina, and Recreational Vehicle Storage are
within immediate view, while a commercial shopping center and Promontory Point
residences are located further east across East Coast Highway. Although the
Project proposes to replace the existing pump station buildings with taller buildings,
the views from Castaways Park are mostly unchanged. Parts of East Coast
Highway may be impaired by the new structures, but the marina, commercial
shopping center, and Promontory Point are not affected by the Project. The Project
does not interfere with any of the identified Public Viewpoints due to the large
distances from them. The Project may be in the distant viewshed of the Public
Viewpoints but will not interfere with the public views that are currently provided.
8. Under Section 21.35.050 (Water Quality and Hydrology Plan) of the NBMC, due to
the proximity of the development to the shoreline and the development containing
more than 75% of impervious surface area, a Water Quality and Management Plan
("WQMP") is required. The Applicant submitted a Non -Priority Project Water Quality
Plan ("NPP"), prepared by Arcadis U.S., Inc., and dated October 17, 2023. An NPP is
required for new development or significant redevelopment projects that do not meet
the criteria for Priority Projects as defined by the County's Model WQMP, but instead
qualify as Non -Priority Projects as defined in the Drainage Area Management Plan.
The NPP provides stormwater Best Management Practices ("BMPs") that are planned
for controlling discharges of pollutants from the Project.
Finding of Consistency with Section 21.52.015(F)(2):
Conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal
Act if the project is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline of
Resolution No. 2024-28
Page 14 of 18
any body of water located within the coastal zone.
Facts in Support of Finding with 21.52.015(F)(2):
1. The Property does not currently provide nor inhibit public coastal access. The
Property is located in close proximity to potential lateral access to the Back Bay
Channel, as designated by the CLUP. The lateral access is a small beach located
along the Back Bay Landing property, which ranges from 250 feet north and 550
feet west from the Property. The Project consists of the replacement of an existing
pump station with an upgraded pump station. Access to the bay remains available
Back Bay Landing. Therefore, the Project will not impact public access to local
coastal resources.
2. The Project includes installation of force mains in a new subterranean utility vault
within a small portion of the public right-of-way area on the southwestern side of
the Bay Bridge. This public -right-of-way includes an existing fence which leads to
a walkway to the north side of the bridge. There is no direct access to the water in
the area of the vault and therefore the Project does not affect public access in this
location.
3. The Project includes temporary construction staging at Lower Castaways Park,
which is approximately 1,100 feet west of the Property, and across the Bay Bridge.
Lower Castaways Park is not identified as a Public Park by the CLUP. The
construction staging is temporary for the duration of construction for the Project,
as stipulated by the Temporary Lease Agreement between the City and the
Applicant. The temporary construction staging does not alter access to the bay.
The Applicant is only using a portion of the park, which has been historically used
for construction staging and off -site parking since the City acquired the property.
The staging site is buffered and screened from adjacent right of ways by existing
landscaping which is to remain. The portion of the Staging Area that is open and
available for public parking and access is not affected by the Project. The public
access for small vessel launching into the bay is also unaffected.

Section 6: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
resolution is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not
affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this resolution. The City
Council hereby declares that it would have passed this resolution, and each section,
subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
Section 7: On the basis of the entire environmental review record, the Project
(inclusive of recommended conditions of approval) will not result in any new significant
impacts that were not previously analyzed in the EIR and Addendum, which is attached
hereto as Exhibit "C" adopted by OC Sanitation District for the Project.
In February of 2021, the Applicant, as the Lead Agency under the California
Environmental Quality Act, approved the Bay Bridge Pump Station and Force Mains
Replacement Project (Project No. 5-67) and certified an EIR for Project No. 5-67 pursuant
to CEQA set forth in the California Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. and its
implementing State regulations set forth in the California Code of Regulations Title 14,
Division 6, Chapter 3 ("CEQA Guidelines").
On April 1, 2021, Bayside Village Marina filed a Verified Petition for Writ of Mandate
against the Applicant in Orange County Superior Court alleging that the EIR failed to
comply with CEQA on numerous grounds (Orange County Superior Court Case No. 30-
2021-01194238.) On December 16, 2022, the Court issued a ruling that upheld the EIR
in all respects except one (not having identified project construction staging area).
Thereafter, the Court issued a limited writ directing OC Sanitation District to sufficiently
identify project construction staging areas.
In response to the Court ruling, OC Sanitation District prepared an Addendum to
the EIR for the Bay Bridge Pump Station and Force Mains Replacement Project which
was certified by OC Sanitation District Board on July 23, 2023 pursuant to Section 15164
of the CEQA Guidelines which authorizes a lead agency to prepare an Addendum to a
previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but one of the
conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have
not occurred. The Addendum clarifies the use of the Lower Castaways Park in the City
as a construction Staging Area and adds a new construction staging area at OC
Sanitation District's Plant No. 2, located in the City of Huntington Beach, for soil
storage/drying activities and determined that Project No. 5-67, as modified by the
Addendum, would not result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in
Resolution No. 2024-28
Page 16 of 18
the severity of previously identified significant impacts in accordance with Section 21166
of the California Public Resources Code and Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines.
Section 8: Pursuant to Section 21166 of the California Public Resources Code
and Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, when an EIR has been certified for a project,
no subsequent EIR is required unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of
substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
a. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major
revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects;
b. Substantial changes occurred with respect to the circumstances under which
the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR
due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
C. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not
have been known with the exercise of reasonable due diligence at the time the
previous EIR was certified as complete, shows any of the following:
The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous EIR;
ii. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe
than shown in the previous EIR;
iii. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible
would, in fact, be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to
adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
iv. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerable different from
those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or
more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents
decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
Resolution No. 2024-28
Page 17 of 18
The Addendum analyzed the impacts associated with temporary use of the Staging
Area for construction of the Project. In addition, there are no substantial changes to the
circumstances under which the Project would be undertaken that would result in new or
more severe environmental impacts than previously addressed in either the EIR or the
Addendum nor has any new information regarding the potential for new or more severe
significant environmental impacts been identified. Therefore, the previously adopted
Addendum addresses all environmental impacts associated with the Project.
Section 9: The City Council finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA
determinations and approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In
addition, project opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As
project applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that
such applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial
challenge, and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which
may be awarded to a successful challenger.
Resolution No. 2024-28

Section 10: This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the
City Council, and the City Clerk shall certify the vote adopting the resolution.
