Posted October 25, 2026 | By Eric Engelbert | Sourced from City of Huntington Beach 6th Cycle Housing Element and SEIR Filings.
Just north of Talbert Avenue on the unstriped cul-de-sacs of Redondo Circle and Kovacs Lane, 7600 Redondo Circle represents one of the most substantial light industrial redevelopments in central Huntington Beach. Cataloged in municipal land inventories as Site 3, this property encompasses 9.52 gross acres situated directly adjacent to established residential neighborhoods.
As part of Huntington Beach's 6th Cycle Housing Element implementation, the property underwent a permanent base zoning amendment from Limited Industrial (IL) to Medium High Density Residential (RMH). The rezoning eliminates over 311,000 square feet of potential industrial building capacity to unlock planned capacity for 190 brand-new residential homes.

Why Site 3 Transitions from Industrial to Residential
Huntington Beach's industrial areas were largely established during the mid-to-late 20th century. Over time, suburban residential tracts expanded around pockets like Redondo Circle, creating land use friction between heavy freight trucks and residential side streets.
In the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update, city planners identified 7600 Redondo Circle as an ideal candidate to phase out commercial truck circulation:
- Natural Residential Infill: Because the property directly abuts residential uses on multiple property lines, redeveloping the site with RMH townhomes completes the residential fabric of the Talbert Avenue neighborhood.
- Traffic Reduction: The transition eliminates lumber trucks, forklifts, and outdoor industrial machinery noise, replacing industrial operations with landscaped courtyard townhomes.
- Comprehensive Remediation: Consistent with the city's General Plan PEIR mitigation measures, all earth-disturbing activities on former industrial sites require site-specific soil investigations, methane mitigation review, and hazardous materials clearance prior to grading.
Fulfilling Regional Housing Obligations (RHNA)
The Southern California Association of Governments assigned Huntington Beach a mandate of 13,368 new homes for the 2021-2029 planning period. State law requires that cities show adequate zoned capacity across all economic tiers.
While the city's commercial overlay programs along Beach Boulevard focus on vertical mixed-use apartment buildings, Site 3 delivers a product style oriented toward for-sale family housing. Under the RMH zoning designation, the 9.52-acre site is modeled for 190 attached homes, directly contributing toward the city's moderate and above-moderate income requirements.
