30169. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that a dispute
exists as to the proper location of the inland boundary of the
coastal zone in the area commonly known as Aliso Viejo and that,
after extensive review of the history of this boundary segment, the
criteria utilized to establish the boundary in 1976, and the relevant
topographical information, it is possible to reach differing
conclusions of equal validity regarding the proper location of the
coastal zone boundary. The Legislature further finds that it is not
possible to determine objectively which ridgeline feature in the
Aliso Viejo area most closely approximates the boundary criteria
utilized by the Legislature in 1976, and that it is in the best
public interest to resolve the current boundary dispute in order to
avoid further delay in the completion of the local coastal program
for Orange County. The Legislature further finds that a timely
resolution of this boundary dispute can best be accomplished by
adjusting the coastal zone boundary in the manner set forth in this
section and within the general framework of Section 30103 and
consistent with the need to protect the coastal resources of the
Aliso Viejo area and to carry out the requirements of Section 30213.
(b) In the Aliso Creek area of Orange County approximately 286
acres are added and approximately 1,020 acres are excluded as
specifically shown on maps 28A and 28B dated April 15, 1980, and
filed on April 22, 1980, with the office of the Secretary of State
and which are on file in the office of the commission. The maps are
hereby adopted by reference. The changes made in the inland boundary
of the coastal zone by this section are in addition to any changes
made by any map referred to in Section 30150, except to the extent
that the changes made by this section affect a segment of the
boundary previously changed by the map, in which case the changes
made by this section shall supersede any of those previous changes.
(c) The executive director of the commission may adjust the
precise location of the inland boundary of the coastal zone not more
than 100 yards in either a seaward or landward direction in order to
conform the precise boundary location to the specific limits of
development adjacent to the coastal zone boundary as shown on maps
28A and 28B. However, in any subdivided area, the executive director
may adjust the precise location of the inland boundary of the coastal
zone not more than 100 feet in a landward direction in order to
include any development of the first row of lots immediately adjacent
to the boundary as shown on those maps, where the executive director
determines that the adjustment is necessary to ensure that adequate
controls will be applied to the development in order to minimize any
potential adverse effects on the coastal zone resources. The
executive director shall prepare a detailed map showing any of the
changes and shall file a copy of the map with the county clerk.
(d) Prior to the adoption and approval of a drainage control plan
by the County of Orange for the Aliso Viejo Planned Community (as
designated by Amendment No. L. U. 79-1 to the Land Use Element of the
Orange County General Plan), the county shall consult with the
executive director of the commission to ensure that any drainage
control facilities located outside the coastal zone are adequate to
provide for no increase in peak runoff, by virtue of the development
of the Aliso Viejo Planned Community, which would result in adverse
impacts on coastal zone resources.
(e) On or before January 31, 1981, the commission shall, after
public hearing and in consultation with the County of Orange, certify
or reject a local coastal program segment prepared and submitted by
the county on or before August 1, 1980, for the following parcel in
the Aliso Creek area: land owned by the Aliso Viejo Company, a
California corporation, as of April 22, 1980, within the coastal zone
as amended by this section. The local coastal program required by
this subdivision shall, for all purposes of this division, constitute
a certified local coastal program segment for that parcel in the
County of Orange. The segment of the county's local coastal program
for the parcel may be amended pursuant to this division relating to
the amendment of local coastal programs. If the commission neither
certifies nor rejects the submitted local coastal program within the
time limit specified in this subdivision, the land added to the
coastal zone by this section shall no longer be subject to this
division. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this
subdivision, that a procedure to expedite the preparation and
adoption of a local coastal program for that land be established so
that the public and the affected property owner know as soon as
possible what uses are permissible.
(f) The commission, through its executive director, shall enter
into a binding and enforceable agreement with Aliso Viejo Company,
and the agreement shall be recorded as a covenant to run with the
land with no prior liens other than tax and assessment liens
restricting the Aliso Viejo Planned Community. The agreement shall
provide for all of the following:
(1) The Aliso Viejo Company shall provide at least 1,000 units of
for-sale housing to moderate-income persons at prices affordable to a
range of households earning from 81 to 120 percent of the median
income for Orange County as adjusted for family size pursuant to the
commission's housing guidelines on affordable housing dated January
22, 1980, and July 16, 1979, and any additional provisions as agreed
to between the commission and the Aliso Viejo Company as referred to
in this subdivision.
For purposes of this subdivision, median income constitutes the
figure most recently established by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development at the time the public report for the units, or any
portion thereof, is issued by the Department of Real Estate. The
affordable units required by this subdivision shall be priced equally
over the moderate-income range and shall reflect a reasonable mix as
to size and number of bedrooms.
(2) The 1,000 units provided pursuant to this subdivision shall be
sold subject to controls on resale substantially as provided in the
commission's housing guidelines on affordable housing, dated January
22, 1980, and July 16, 1979, and any additional provisions as agreed
to between the commission and the Aliso Viejo Company as referred to
in this subdivision. On or before entering the agreement provided for
herein, the Aliso Viejo Company shall enter into an agreement,
approved by the executive director of the commission, with the Orange
County Housing Authority or any other appropriate housing agency
acceptable to the executive director of the commission to provide for
the administration of the resale controls including the
qualification of purchasers.
(3) The 1,000 units provided pursuant to this subdivision may be
dispersed throughout the Aliso Viejo Planned Community, and shall be
completed and offered for sale prior to, or simultaneously with,
other units in the overall project, so that at any time at least 7
1/2 percent of the units constructed shall be resale-controlled until
the 1,000 units are completed.
(4) The Department of Housing and Community Development and the
County of Orange shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreement
provided in this subdivision and shall have the power to enforce any
and all provisions of the agreement.
(5) This agreement may only be amended upon the determination of
the Aliso Viejo Company or its successors or assigns, the commission,
the Department of Housing and Community Development, and the County
of Orange that the change is necessary in order to prevent adverse
effects on the supply of low- and moderate-income housing
opportunities and to improve the methods of providing the housing at
continually affordable prices.
The Legislature hereby finds and declares that, because the Aliso
Viejo Company, in addition to the 1,000 units of controlled housing
provided in this subdivision, will provide for 2,000 units of
subsidized affordable housing for low income persons and 2,000
affordable housing units for moderate income persons pursuant to the
company's housing program, the purposes of Section 30213 will be met
by enactment of this subdivision. The Legislature further finds and
declares that the general provisions of this subdivision are
specifically described and set forth in letters by Aliso Viejo
Company and the executive director of the commission published in the
Journals of the Senate and the Assembly of the 1979-80 Regular
Session, and it is the intent of the Legislature that the commission
and Aliso Viejo Company conform the agreement provided in this
subdivision to the specific provisions described in the letters.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the application of
this division by the commission to the development or use of any
infrastructure necessary and appropriate to serve development within
the portions of the Aliso Viejo Planned Community located inland of
the coastal zone as amended by this section, shall be strictly
limited to addressing direct impacts on coastal zone resources and
shall be carried out in a manner that assures that the infrastructure
will be provided. Furthermore, the commission shall amend without
conditions its prior permit No. A-61-76 to provide for its release of
sewer outfall flow limitations necessary and appropriate to serve
the Aliso Viejo Planned Community located inland of the coastal zone
as amended by this subdivision. For purposes of this subdivision,
"infrastructure" means those facilities and improvements necessary
and appropriate to develop, construct, and serve urban communities,
including but not limited to, streets, roads, and highways;
transportation systems and facilities; schools; parks; water and
sewage systems and facilities; electric, gas, and communications
systems and facilities; and drainage and flood control systems and
facilities. Notwithstanding this subdivision, the commission may
limit, or reasonably condition, the use of the transit corridor in
Aliso Creek Valley to transit uses, uses approved by the commission
that will serve the Aliso Greenbelt Project prepared by the State
Coastal Conservancy, the provision of access to and from the sewage
treatment works in Aliso Creek Valley, emergency uses, and drainage
and flood control systems and facilities and other services approved
pursuant to this subdivision.
(h) This section shall become operative only when the commission
and Aliso Viejo Company have entered into the binding and enforceable
agreement provided for in this section, and the agreement has been
duly recorded with the county recorder of Orange County.
