Project Title: Huntington Beach Senior Center Project
Project Location: The 5-acre project site is located within the 356-acre Huntington Central Park and generally located west of the intersection of Goldenwest Street and Talbert Avenue, between the disc golf course, which is at a higher elevation, and the Shipley Nature Center.
Project Description: The proposed Huntington Beach Senior Center project involves the construction of a new one-story senior center (approximately 45,000 square feet) on an undeveloped portion of Central Park. Access to the facility will be provided from Goldenwest Street/Talbert Avenue. The senior center will include multi-purpose rooms/community hall, group exercise room, fitness room, arts/crafts room, multi-use classrooms, kitchen, dance room, lobby, administrative area, outdoor patio, and outdoor recreation/activity area. Approximately 200 parking spaces will be provided for visitors and City vehicles.
The Planning Department, via the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) process, will analyze the potentially significant environmental impacts of the proposed senior center and identify mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate these impacts. EIP Associates has been retained to prepare all studies and documentation necessary to comply with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as well as conducting an impact assessment, development of mitigation measures, review for CEQA adequacy, attendance at public meetings, responses to comments, coordination between City staff and the project team, and the preparation of a mitigation monitoring plan. Necessary studies include Biological, Traffic, Archeological, Viewshed Analysis, and Geological.
