he Huntington Beach City Council voted 5-2 to approve zoning changes to the controversial Magnolia Tank Farm site in southeast Huntington Beach during a virtual meeting Tuesday night.
Mayor Pro Tem Tito Ortiz, Dan Kalmick, Natalie Moser, Barbara Delgleize and Mike Posey voted for the zoning changes, which were considered after more than an hour of comments during a public hearing. Mayor Kim Carr and Erik Peterson voted against them.
The move was the first step in paving the way for future development of the 29-acre site at 21845 Magnolia St. It would change zone use of the Tank Farm site from public/semi-public heavy industrial to four land uses: residential medium density, coastal conservation, open space park and coastal visitor serving/commercial.
