Council Member Watt emphasized her
desire to have the Council consider, at
some point in time, the issue of
employee transportation in general, and
participation in the Transportation
Resource Center.
Mayor Strauss commented that he felt
this project was "well done;" however,
he is concerned about the height of the
structure and does not want this project
to set a precedent for future projects
on the waterfront.
The staff reviewed again the proposed
view corridor, noting the minimum width
of 100 feet on the ground level with a
minimum of 50 feet on the second and
third floors. It was also pointed out
that the parking structure is all
subterranean.

separate, and there may be a way in U/P 3361
which the trash for the commercial
component of the project could be
segregated.
Discussion ensued regarding recyclable
materials and the collection thereof,
wherein the City Attorney advised that
if the Council desires, a condition of
approval could be imposed requiring the
applicant to comply with subsequent
policy and ordinances concerning
recyclable materials, inasmuch as the
Council will be considering new
regulations on this issue in the very
near future.
In response to questions raised by
Council Member Hart pertaining to the
height of the structure and the width of
the sidewalks, staff advised that the
maximum height of the structure as shown
on the plans is 38 feet at ridge line,
with the average roof height at 35 feet.
The sidewalk on 28th Street will be 8
feet in width, whereas the sidewalk on
26th Street will be either 5 or 6 feet
wide. The floor area ratio is .97.
John Newcomb, 1821 W. Bay Avenue,
applicant, addressed the Council and
stated that he had met with many
citizens groups and neighbors in the
area regarding the proposed project; he
felt the development would be an asset
to the community, and concurs with the
recommendation of staff. Regarding the
recycling of trash, he is willing to
designate an area where residents can
voluntarily place their aluminum cans,
newspapers, etc., and he will work with
the appropriate entity for collection of
same. Pertaining to the additional
condition regarding free parking for
commercial and marina use, he stated he
would like to leave the commercial
parking open and if it becomes a problem
due to unauthorized use, (such as beach
goers) then either a security guard or
gate mechanism would be utilized; and to
that extent he is willing to accept the
condition to not charge for parking. He
further stated he concurred with the
condition prohibiting charter boat
operations on the site. With respect to
employee transportation to the site, he
stated bicycle spaces will be provided
in the parking garage for those users,
in addition there is an Orange County

contains 35 dwelling units for U/P 3361
condominium purposes and 2,500 sq. ft.
of commercial space. The project is
divided into two building groups,
separated by a ground level corridor and
has a minimum width of 100 feet between
the buildings. On the second and third
floors, above ground level, the window
to the bay is reduced to approximately
50 feet. The open areas of the project
are landscaped with turf, fountain, and
seating areas. The open areas of the,
plan constitute 65% of the site. In
addition, there is a walkway in front of
the project which is 10 feet in width
and is adjacent to the water. There are
four residential floor plans varying in
size from 1600 sq. ft. for 2 bedrooms to
1800 sq. ft. for 3 bedrooms. There will
also be four dwelling units developed
off site on property across from this
parcel which will be coming before the
City Council at a future date. There
will be 194 parking spaces provided, 88
spaces for residential at a ratio of 231
parking spaces per dwelling unit, and
106 spaces for commercial development,
including 16 spaces for a 21 slip boat
marina. Each of the parking areas is
independently accessible, and 183
parking spaces will be in a subterranean
parking structure with 9 parking spaces
on the surface. The City's regulations
provide a floor area ratio of 1.6 x the
buildable area of the site. The project
is actually at .97 which indicates the
project is substantially below the
required floor area ratio. Since the
approval of the Planning Commission,
there have been some issues raised
regarding charter boat operations and
charging a fee for commercial and marina
parking, and as a result of those
concerns, two additional conditions of
approval have been added prohibiting
charter boat operations on the site and
requiring the commercial and marina
parking to be provided at no charge.
Further, there is also a concern with
regard to refuse collection and the
collection of recyclable materials. In
this development, the residential units,
are located on the second and third
floors of the project and the applicant
is proposing trash shutes on each level
where the trash will be deposited in
dumpsters for pickup. The trash storage
areas for commercial and residential are

NOW,TBEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Newport Beach that:
1. The City Council makes the Findings contained in the Statement of
Facts with respect to significant impacts identified in the Final EIR, together with the
Finding that each fact in support of the Finding is true and based upon substantial
evidence in the record, including the Final HR. The Statement of Facts is attached
hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by this reference as if fully set forth.
2. The City Council finds that the Facts set forth in the Statement of
Overriding Considerations are true and supported by substantial evidence in the record,
including the Final EIR. The Statement of Overriding Considerations is attached hereto
as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by this reference as if fully set forth.

significant environmental effects of the project and that there are no known potential
environmental impacts not addressed in the Final EIR.
4. The City Council finds that all significant effects of the project are
set forth in the Statement of Facts.
5. The City Council finds that although the Final EIR identifies certain
significant environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all significant
effects that can be feasibly avoided or mitigated have been avoided or mitigated by the
imposition of Conditions on the approved project and the imposition of mitigation
measures as set forth in the Statement of Fact and the Final EIR.

alternatives not incorporated into the project were rejected as infeasible, based upon
specific economic, social and other considerations as set forth in the Statement of Facts

insignificance has been substantially reduced in impact by the imposition of Conditions
on the approved project and the imposition of mitigation measures. In making its
3
decision on the project,the Planning Commission has given greater weight to the adverse
environmental impact. The City Council finds that the remaining unavoidable significant
impact is clearly outweighed by the economic, social and other benefits of the project,
as set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations.
8. The City Council finds that the Final EIR hark, described all
reasonable alternatives to the project that could feasibly attain the basic objectives of the
project, even when those alternatives might impede the attainment of other project
objectives and might be more costly. Further, the City Council finds that a good faith
effort was made to incorporate alternatives in the preparation of the draft EIR and all
reasonable alternatives were considered in the review process of the Final EIR and
ultimate decisions on the project.
9. The City Council finds that the project should be approved and that
any alternative to this action should not be approved for the project based on the
Information contained in the Final EIR, the data contained in the Statement of Facts

Overriding Considerations.
lo, The City Council finds that a good faith effort has been made to
seek out and incorporate all points of view in the preparation of the Draft and Final
EIR as indicated in the public record on the project, including the Final EIR.
11. The City Council finds that during the public bearing process on the
28th Street Marina Project, the Environmental Impact Report evaluated a range of
alternatives. The project, as approved by this action, is included in that range of
alternatives. The City Council has considered the recommendation of the Planning
Commission in its decision on the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does
hereby certify the Final Environmental Impact Report No. 144 for the 28th Street
Marina Project as complete and adequate in that it addresses all environmental effects

BACKGROUND
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines
(Guidelines) promulgated pursuant thereto provide:
No public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an EIR
has been completed which identifies one or more significant environmental
effects of the project unless the public agency makes one or more written
findings for each of those significant effects accompanied by a brief
explanation of the rationale for each finding. The possible findings are:
1. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into,
the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant
environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR.
2. Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and
I
urisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the
finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or
can and should be adopted by such other agency.
3. Specific economic,social, or other considerations make infeasible the
mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the Final
EIR (Section 15091 of the Guidelines)."
The City of Newport Beach is considering approval of a request to permit the
construction of a mixed use residential/commercial development which includes two
buildings containing 35 residential condominium units and 22,500 sq.ft. of commercial
floor area on property located in the Recreational and Marine Commercial area of the
Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Plan Area. The project includes the
certification of an Environmental Impact Report, review of a site plan, and approval of
a use permit to allow a building height in excess of 26 feet but not exceeding 35 feet,
the commercial component of the project to be less than 0.25 FAR and providing
incentive uses in conjunction with general commercial uses, tentative tract map, coastal
residential development permit, and a traffic study. Because the proposed actions
constitute a project under the CEQA Guidelines, the City of Newport Beach has
prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). This EIR has identified certain
significant effects which may occur as a result of the project on a cumulative basis in
conjunction with other past,present and reasonably foreseeable future projects. Further,
the City desires to approve this project and, after determining that the EIR is complete
and has been prepared in accordance with CEQA and the Guidelines, the findings set
forth are herein made:
Ultimate development of the project will result in certain significant unavoidable adverse
impacts to the environment, as indicated below and in the Final EIR. With respect to
those impacts, the City Council of Newport Beach makes the findings as stated on the
following pages.

commercial uses with two three-story buildings (35 feet in height) with a
subterranean parking garage.
TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION
Two of eight intersections analyzed exceed the one percent volume criteria when
project traffic is added to 1991 traffic conditions. Of these, the Intersection
Capacity Utilization ratio will not be increased to a level over 0.9 by project
traffic.
PUBLIC SERVICES AND UTILITIES
• The project will add to area-wide demand for fire protection and paramedic
services. The project will not require an additional fire station, equipment or
personnel.
• Demand on police services will not increase significantly due to the project. No
additional personnel or equipment will be needed.
' The project will not adversely impact the park and recreation services.
' The project will generate'a maximum of 7.2 students. This increase in student
population will not adversely effect schools serving the site.
AIR QUALITY
• There is a slight potential for nuisance odors to affect the project site generated
from adjacent boatyard activities.
' The proposed design of the subterranean parking garage contains two vents which
will release air from the garage at the roof top level. This is the most desirable
location for venting underground parking areas.

PROJECT ALTERNATIVES �
Findings
1. The project has been designed in a manner so as to provide the greatest public
involvement in the planning and CEQA process.
2. The following provides a brief description of project alternatives.\
3. The alternatives were rejected in favor of the current project proposal.
4. The rationale for rejection of each alternative is provided below.
5. The rejection rationale is supported by the public record including,but not limited
to, the Certified Final EIR,
NO PROJECT ALTERNATIVE
The No Project Alternative provides for no new development on the site.
Findings
Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the No Project
Alternative described in the Final EIR in that:
1. The No Project Alternative does not provide for a revitalization of the site which
is consistent with the goals and development standards of the Cannery
Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan.
2. The No Project Alternative would not provide for increased marine-related
commercial opportunities.
3. The No Project Alternative would not provide for increased residential uses.
4. The No Project Alternative would not provide increased physical and visual access
to Newport Harbor.
HOTEL ALTERNATIVE
The Hotel Alternative assumes development of a three-story 150-room hotel totalling
94,000 s.E
Flndines
Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the six-story office
alternative described in the Final EIR in that:
1. The alternative would generate more traffic than the proposed project.
2. The scale of the development would appear more intense.
3. No visual access to the Newport Harbor would be provided.
4. The project would provide visitor-serving facilities, but no marine-commercial or
residential uses.
RESIDENTIAL ALTERNATIVE
A residential alternative could be: 1) 20 units on about 4500 s.f, lots; 2) 36 units in a
two story structure with a combination of above grade and subterranean parking; and,
3) 50 units with subterranean parking or a parking structure,
' a�
1
16
Findings
1. Development of solely residential uses is not allowed on the site by the Land Use
Element and Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan unless it is
in conjunction with marine commercial on the ground floor of the structure.
2. The smaller 20-unit, more traditional subdivision would be significantly out of
character with the surrounding area.
3. Noise attenuation for the 204init subdivision would required a noise wall that
would block views to the Newport Harbor.
4. If parking is not subterranean, views across the site would be effected by the
light/glare from parked cars and security lighting.
5. This alternative would not provide increased marine commercial uses.
COMMERCIAL ALTERNATIVE
This alternative would include a mix of marine commercial/office uses. Depending on
the uses proposed, the FAR could range from .50 to 1.0. This intensity of development
would require either subterranean parking or above ground parking garages.
Findings
1. This alternative would generate significantly more traffic than the project.
2. This alternative would cause a greater incremental contribution to cumulative
impacts related to traffic, noise, and air quality.
3. The alternative would not provide additional residential uses in the area.
ALTERNATIVE LOCATIONS
The project could be developed in other locations of Newport Beach.
Findings
1. Given the orientation of the project to marine commercial use and view-oriented
residential, any other location would remain in the vicinity of Newport Bay.
2. The contribution of the alternative to cumulative traffic, air quality, and noise
impacts would remain the same.
REDUCED INTENSITY
This alternative would be a two-story version of the proposed project with marine.
commercial on the ground floor and 18 residential units on the second floor.
Findings
1. The reduced density of the project might make construction of the subterranean
parking garage economically infeasible. If so, then an above ground parking
structure and parking lot would be necessary. This would create a project with
greater mass and visual impact.
2. The project could provide less visual access to the Newport Harbor than the
project.

• Exhibit 2
STATEI\EM OF OVERRiDING CONSIDERATIONS
The California Environmental Quality Act requires a public agency to balance the
benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks in determining
whether to approve the project. The City of Newport Beach has determined that the
unavoidable risks of this project, giving greater weight to the unavoidable environmental
risks. In making this determination, the following factors and public benefits were .
considered or decisions made:
1. The proposed project is consistent with other existing uses in the vicinity of the
project and the community in general.
2. The proposed project represents in6ll development located in an urban area
where adequate facilities and services exist.
3. The density and intensity of the project is appropriate.
4. The proposed project will contribute to a fair share of local and regional roadway
improvements, specifically the City's Fair Share Traffic Contribution Ordinance.
5. The project will provide commercial space which will serve marine-related
businesses.
6. The project will provide increased housing opportunities.
7. The project has been designed to be sensitive to the surrounding neighborhood
by:
• including a "view corridor"
• providing adequate parking
• dedicating a 1110-foo0 public walkway along the bayfront
• providing an architecturally aesthetic project that
upgrades the area while blending into the existing
neighborhood

SUBJECT: DEIR for 28th Street Marina Project
Dear Ms. Temple:
The above referenced item is a draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR)
for a mixed-use residential/marine commercial development on 2.095 acres
including 36 units and 21,315 sq. ft. of general recreation/marine commercial.
The County of Orange has reviewed the DEIR resulting in the following comments
regarding recreation and landscaping:
° In order to provide public access to the bay, it is recommended that the M-1
project proponent provide a public boat launch.
° Commercial uses on the site should be only ones which support marine
activities in Newport Harbor. Waterfront development along the harbor to EMA-2
service the needs of boating interests, both recreational and commercial,
are rare and should be encouraged.
• It is recommended that the landscape plan for the public shoreline edgeA-g
include Canary Island Date Palms and Torrey Pines to enhance project
compatibility with established bayfront landscapes.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the DEIR. If you have questions,
please call Kari Rigoni at (714) 834-2109.

RE: 28th Street Marina Project
The al
ct
for them
28the Street has eMarina Project,viewed the rdated tAugust a30,R1989t
The following instances appear to be inadequacies in the Report.
1. The Project's EIR does not deal with open space/parks/ EQAC-1
en lieu park dedication fees or recreational facilities
for residents (particularly children) who might live in
the project.
2. The Project depends upon residential° uses in order to '
get the height (38 feet) and bulk which are not allowed
in the Specific Area Plan. However, residential uses are
not currently included in the specific Area Plan. Since EQAC-2
the Specific Area Plan has not been amended to allow the
residential use, approval of this project and its vari
ances appears to be premature.
3. According to the EIR (page 45) , "The proposed building
height is 35 feet, which can be allowed only through the
issuance of a use permit. " Furthermore, "at� 35 feet the EQAC-3
project is described in height as follows: 35 ft. above
high water line and site elevation. " Meanwhile the archi-
tectural drawings (7a and 7b) show a height above the
site elevation of 38 feet. Currently, builders in this
specific area must get variances for buildings between 26
and 35 feet in height and are not allowed to exceed 35 .
feet.
4. The issue of underground parking and the cumulative
imoact on both traffic and density were not addressed in
the EIR. Much of the justification for the density in the' EQAC-4
Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan was
based on above ground parking. By not addressing this
issue the project' s EIR fails to address the cumulative
impacts adquately.
5
,
5. The project 's EIR does not address the problem of
noise which the mixed use residential/commercial/
marine might bring. Noise from restaurants, fast-food EQAC-5
stands, bars or nightclubs (particularly if there is
music and if alchohol is sold) is compatable with
commercial/marine uses but not residential. To miti-
gate this problem, the EIR should provide a provision
which prevents incompatable noise-producing uses;
i.e. ' nightclubs, bars, restaurants, with music.
6. The omission of a pump-out station for the marine�EQAC-6
oriented facilities is an inadequacy in the proposed
project.
, 7 . The Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area
Plan calls for improvements in the circulation plan
which will eliminate the "mixmaster" configuration but
this particular project's EIR does not address the cir- E AC-7
culation in the "mixmaster" and indeed the EIR acknow-
ledges that the project will contribute cumulatively to
the problem.
B. The economic viability of "marine-oriented facilities"
(and the concomitant denser developement) has not been AC-8
addressed -in this EIR. The cumulative impacts of use EQ
permits being changed from marine-oriented uses to other
uses would have a major bearing on the local envirnment.
9. The EIR describes the "UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE IMPACTS"
on page 80. "Specifically, the project causes an iCOe" QAC-9
mental increase in traffic, noise, and air pollution.

In order to provide public access to the bay, it is recommended that the project
proponent provide a public boat launch.
EMA-1 Response
The comment is noted and included in the final record of the project for review and
consideration by appropriate decision makers. In the review of this project a great deal
of consideration was given to the provision of public access to the bay. There is a public
boat launch to

EMA-2 Comment
Commercial uses on the site should be only ones which support marine activities in
Newport Harbor. Waterfront development along the harbor to service the needs of
boating interests, both recreational and commercial, are rare and should be encouraged.
EMA-2 Response
The comment is noted and included in the final record of the project for review and
consideration by appropriate decision makers. The City of Newport Beach General Plan
establishes the priorities for the use of waterfront properties designated for Recreational
and Marine Commercial. Coastal dependent uses are the highest priority. Coastal related
and visitor-serving facilities are the next priority, with general commercial uses the lowest
priority. The project provides a mix of the land uses, including coastal-dependent and
visitor-serving uses, as required by the General Plan and the provisions of the Cannery
Village/McFadden Square Specific Plan.
EMA-3 Comment
It is recommended that the landscape plan for the public shoreline edge include Canary
Island Date Palms and Torrey Pines to enhance the project compatibility with established
bayfront landscapes.

Environmental Ouali1y Affairs Committee
EQAC-1 Comment
The Project's EIR does not deal with open space/parks/in lieu park dedication fees or
recreational facilities for residents (particularly children) who might live in the project.
EQAC-1 Response
The proposed project will be required to pay in lieu, park dedication fees as required
by Chapter 19.50 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. No park will be dedicated to
the City as a result of the project. It is anticipated that the residents will make use of
the recreation facilities generally available on the Balboa Peninsula. The Recreation and
Open Space Element of the Newport Beach General Plan identifies deficits in
recreational facilities on the Balboa Peninsula to be tennis courts, swimming pools and
soccer fields. In this area, the ocean beaches can serve for recreational swimming.
Tennis courts are located in close proximity to the project at Las Arenas Park. Large
parcels of land for playing fields are not available on the Peninsula. It is important to
9
3�
note that the Recreation and Open Space Element identifies the Balboa Pen Peninsula area
as one which exceeds the 5 acres per 100 residents open space standard of the ty.
City does not require the provision of private recreational facilities in small residential
projects.
EQAC-2 Comment
The project depends upon residential uses in order to get the height (38 feet) and bulk
which are not allowed in the Specific Area Plan. However, residential uses are not
currently included in the Specific Area Plan. Since the Specific Area Plan has not been
amended to allow the residential use, approval of this project and its variances appears
to be premature.
EQAC-2 Response
The Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Plan is being amended on a separate
but concurrent track with this project. The conditions of approval include a provision
that the approval of this project will not become effective until the effective date of the
Ordinance amending the Specific Plan. No variances are being processed in conjunction
with this request.
EQAC-3 Comment
According to the EIR (page 45), "The proposed building height is 35 feet, which can be
allowed only through the issuance of a use permit." Furthermore, "at 35 feet the project
is described as follows: 35 Ft. above the high water line and site elevation." Meanwhile,
the architectural drawings (7a and 7b) show a height above the site elevation of 38 feet.
Currently, builders in this specific plan must get variances for buildings between 26 and
35 feet in height and are not allowed to exceed 35 feet.
EQAC-3 Response
Section 20.87.205 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code defines the height of buildings
as follows:
The height of a structure shall be the vertical distance between grade at any
point and the highest point of the structure immediately above, provided that
a roof shall be measured to the average heighteo athe bove roof, but
that
no height
of the roof shall extend more than five (5) f permitted
limit in the height limitation zone.
The Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Plan further defines the point from
which building height is to be measured as the greater of the high water line or the site
elevation.
The average roof height of the structure is the average of the ridge and eave lines. This
project has a ridge line at 38 feet but an average height of 35 feet, as measured from
10
I
3��
1 �
the high water line. The building height is in compliance with the provisions of the
Newport Beach Municipal Code.
A variance is not needed to allow a structure to exceed the basic height limit to the
second allowed height limit. This can be achieved through the review and approval of
use permit, which is subject to specific criteria and findings. A structure which is higher
than 35 feet (average roof height), would require the approval of a variance. This
proposal does not include a variance to exceed the height limit.
EQAC-4 Comment
The issue of underground parking and the cumulative impact on both traffic and density
were nor addressed in the EIR. Much of the justification for the density in the Cannery
Village McFadden Square Specific Area Plan was based on above ground parking. By
not addressing this issue the project's EIR fails to address the cumulative impacts i
adequately.
EQAC-4 Response
The Cannery Village/Mc Fadden Square Specific Plan and the Newport Beach General
Plan limit floor area for mixed use residential/commercial projects as follows: 0.5 FAR
for the commercial component, 0.75 FAR for the residential component, and 0.35 FAR
for any covered parking which is above ground. If above ground parking which is
covered exceeds 0.35 FAR, the portion in excess of that limit would reduce either
commercial or residential floor area by that amount. The total building bulk above
ground which is allowed is 1.6 FAR.
The proposed project has 0.25 FAR in commercial uses, 0.70 FAR in residential uses,
and 0.02 FAR in above ground covered parking. These are all below the maximum
allowed in the Plan. The total building bulk is 0.97 FAR, which is 39% less than the
maximum allowed in the Plan. The -project also provides a significant public open space
area which reduces the visual impact of the buildings. No cumulative impacts on the
visual environment are anticipated.
The provision of parking below grade does not increase the allowed floor area of the
building, nor the traffic which is generated by the project. The provision of most of the
parking below grade does reduce the potential visual mass and bulk of the project.
Traffic has, however, been identified as an area where there is a cumulatively significant
effect on the environment.
EQAC-5 Comment
EIR does not address the problem of noise which the mixed use
The projects residential/commercial/marine might from restaurants, fast-food stands,bars
bring.g g,
or nightclubs (particularly if there is music and if alcohol is sold) is compatible with
commercial/marine uses but not residential. To mitigate this problem, the EIR should
11
provide a provision which prevents incompatible noise-producing uses: i.e., nightclubs,
bars, restaurants, with music.
EQAC-5 Response
The EIR is not required to address land uses which are not part of the project
description. The proposed project shows the commercial space to be occupied by office
and retail uses; no restaurants, nightclubs, bars or live music are proposed. If such uses
were proposed an additional traffic study and a use permit would be required. It should
be pointed out that the uses of concern also require more parking than office or retail
uses. There is not any excess commercial parking sufficient to sustain the conversion to
more intense restaurant uses, so the conversion to such uses is not anticipated.
EQAC-6 Comment '
The omission of a pump-out station for the marine-oriented facilities is an inadequacy
in the proposed project.
EQAC-6 Response
The comment is noted and included in the final record of the project for review and
consideration by appropriate decision makers. It should be noted that the marina is only
21 slips, and that the City's Harbor Permit policies do not require the provision of pump
out facilities at all marinas.
EQAC-7 Comment
The Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan calls for improvement in the
circulation plan which will eliminate the "mixmaster" configuration but this project's EIR
does not address the circulation in the "mixmaster" and indeed the EIR acknowledges
that the project will contribute cumulatively to the problem.
EQAC-7 Response
The Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Plan does call out improvements in the
area of the "mixmaster". The potential change is proposed to address problems with the
configuration of the facility in order to ease the confusion which sometimes results from
the crossing patterns of traffic. The mixmaster is not an intersection which experiences
unacceptable levels of traffic service from a volume standpoint. The most recent ICU
at this intersection is 0.47. Additionally, only 10 o of the project traffic is anticipated to
travel through the mixmaster. The statement made in the EIR is that the project, in
association with existing development and reasonable foreseeable future projects, will
have a cumulatively significant effect on the circulation system as a whole.
12
3�
EQAC-8 Comment
The economic viability of "marine-oriented facilities (and the concomitant denser
development) has not been addressed in this EIR. The cumulative impacts of use
permits being changed from marine-oriented uses to other uses would have a major
bearing on the local environment.
EQAC-8 Response
The marine uses being provided on site are the 21 slip marina, the parking in support
of that marina (16 Spaces) and the public access easement. 'These uses are available to
allow a portion of the building to be occupied by general office uses. These uses are
not susceptible to conversion to other land uses. No additional density is granted for the
provision of these uses. A portion of the building must be occupied by either marine-
related or retail land uses, consistent with the revised General Plan and Specific Plan.
Is anticipated the ability to occupy these areas with retail commercial uses will alleviate
the problems of finding enough marine-related uses previously experienced by similar
projects.
EQAC-9 Comment
The EIR' describes sa nAes e ns ea on ll
Specifically, he project causes incremental inc i traffic, noise, and air pollution.
EQAC-9 Response
The comment is noted and included in the final record of the project for review and
consideration by appropriate decision makers. In order to approve the project under the
provisions of California Environmental Quality Act the City Council will have to make
a statement of overriding considerations to explain the specific reasons why the project
should be approved in light of these cumulatively significant effects.

Environmental Significance
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA
Guidelines and City Council Policy K 3, an Environmental Impact Report has been
prepared for the proposed project. Environmental issues evaluated in the EIR are Earth
Resources, Water Resources, Land Use and Aesthetics, Traffic and Circulation, Noise,
Air Quality and Public Services and Utilities. Based upon the information contained in
the EIR, it has been determined that the proposed project, as mitigated, will not create
a significant impact on the environment in these areas except noise. The construction
of the 28th Street Marina Project will result in significant short term noise effects during
the excavation, de-watering and construction of the subterranean parking structure.
Minor modifications have been made to the project since the preparation of the Draft
Environmental Impact Report. These changes, a one unit reduction and an increase in
commercial floor area to 22,500 sq.ft., do-not change the information contained in the
draft EIR. An addendum to the Traffic Study has been prepared to make necessary
technical amendments to the Traffic and Circulation section. The findings of the Traffic
Study are unchanged.
Conformance with the General Plan and Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan
The Land Use"Element of the Newport Beach General Plan and the Local Coastal
Program, Land Use Plan designate the site for Recreational and Marine Commercial land
use. This land• use designation is intended to encourage coastal-dependent, coastal-
related and visitor serving-land uses.' Residential development is.allowed above the first
floor. General commercial or office land uses require the provision of a 40% mix of
incentive uses.
The Land Use Element specifies-a land use intensity limit of 0.511.0 FAR, with mixed
use commercial/residential development allowed up to a floor area limit of 1.25. The
parking structure FAR allocation for mixed use is 0.35, so the mixed use building bulk
limit is 1.60. One residential unit is allowed for each 2,375 sq.ft. of buildable lot area.
The proposed project of 35 dwelling units has 2,378 sq.ft of buildable lot area per unit.
The residential portion of the project is 0.7 FAR. The 22,500 sq.ft of commercial
development equals 0.246 FAR. Above grade covered parking occupies 2,204 sq.ft., or
0.02 FAR. The total building bulk of the project is 0.97 FAR. The project is consistent
with the provisions of the Land Use Element of the General Plan and the Local Coastal
Program, Land Use Plan as modified by the General Plan review process. The City is
currently processing comprehensive amendments to the Certified Local Coastal Program
to reflect these changes, including the ability to construct mixed use commercial/
residential projects in the Recreation and Marine Commercial category.

commercial uses. A 42 space .access-controlled parking lot on site serves these uses.
Recently, the majority of the site was used for dry boat storage on the fenced asphalt
lot, but this use has been discontintied. To the north and northwest of the project site,
across 28th Street, is the El Ranchito Restaurant, a parking lot and a marine
commercial/office building. To the east, across The Rhine channel, are commercial and
residential uses on Lido Peninsula. To the southeast, across 26th Street is a boat yard.
To the southwest, across Newport Boulevard, are retail commercial and motel uses.
Analysis
As previously discussed, the proposal is a mixed use commercial/residential project on
the 28th Street Marina site. The project was originally proposed and analyzed in the
Environmental Impact Rdport as a 36 unit project with 21,370 sq.ft. of commercial
development. Precise calculations of the buildable lot area required the elimination of
one unit from the project, and made two additional parking spaces available for
commercial development.
The project includes a completely subterranean parking structure which is divided into
two areas, with the residential parking separate from the commercial and marina parking.
The residential portion of the parking structure will be access controlled by key card
gates. The above grade construction will be in two buildings, each of which consists of
ground floor commercial with two residential floors above. A large landscaped plaza
is provided in the central portion of the property to provide public visual open space as
required to exceed the basic height limit. This open space will be a minimum of 100
feet wide on the ground floor level, and 50 feet wide on the second and third levels.
The open space plaza will be accessible to the public, and will tie directly into the ten
foot wide lateral access easement at the existing bulkhead along the entire lot frontage
between 26th Street and 28th Street.

Site Plan Review No. 50, The Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan
requires Site Plan Review for all development in all RMC - Recreation and Marine
Commercial areas. The review of site plans have specific standards of review as
established in Section 20.01.070 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Each standard
is listed below, with a brief discussion of the project as it relates to each.
1. Sites subject to Site flan Review under the provisions of this chapter shall be graded
and developed with due regard for the aesthetic qualities of the natural terrain, harbor,
and landscape, giving. special consideration to waterfront resources and unique
landforms such as coastal bluffs or other sloped areas, trees and shrubs shall not be
indiscriminately destroyed: The proposed site plan does not include relocation of
the existing bulkhead, and will not, therefore, have any permanent effects on
waterfront resources. There are no coastal bluffs or sloped areas on site, nor are
there any trees or shrubs on-site. The project as proposed contributes significantly
to aesthetic values in the.area, through the provision of significant public visual
open space through the site to Newport Bay, and the provision of public access
along the existing bulkhead.
2. Development shall be compatible with the character of the neighborhood and
surrounding sites and shall not be detrimental to the orderly and harmonious
development of the surroundings and of the City: The Cannery Village area which
surrounds the project site is intensively developed with a'mixture of marine and
visitor serving retail, restaurants, and office uses. Recent redevelopment in the
Cannery Village area has been predominantly mixed use (commercial/residential)
TO: planning Commission - 6. ' •
in nature:-. This.-project represents=-a•-coutinuation.of the trend to• commercial • - •residential mixed use in the,area.
3. Development shall be sited and designed to maximize protection of public views, with
special consideration given to views from public parks and from roadways designated
as Scenic Highways and Scenic Drives in the Recreation and Open Space Element
of the General Plan There are no view parks or roadways designated as a Scenic
Highway or Drive in the vicinity of the project. The project is designed, however,
to maximize public view through the project from Newport Boulevard to the bay.
4. Environmentally sensitive areas shall be preserved and protected. No structures or
landform alteration shall be permitted in environmentally sensitive areas unless specific
mitigation measures are adopted which will reduce adverse impacts to an acceptable
level or the Planning Commission or City Counci4 on review or appea4 finds that the
benefits outweigh the• adverse impacts. The site does not contain any
environmentally sensitive areas.
5. No structures shall be permitted in areas of potential geologic hazard unless specific
mitigation measures are adopted which will reduce adverse impacts to-an acceptable
level or the Planning Commission or City Council, on review or appea4 finds that the
benefits outweigh the adverse impacts: The site is not located in an area of
particular geologic hazard, other than the seismic hazards common to the Southern
California area. Excavation of the parking structure will be done subject to site
specific soils studies reviewed by the City's Grading Engineer prior to the issuance
of a grading permit.
6. Residential development shall be permitted in areas subject to noise levels greater
than 65 CNEL, only where specific mitigation measures will reduce noise levels in
exterior areas to less than 65 CNEL and reduce noise levels in the interior of
residences to 45 CNEL or less: Specific mitigation measures will be made
conditions of approval to assure that these noise standards are met.
7. Site plan and layout of buildings, parking areas, pedestrian and vehicular access
ways, and other site features shall give proper consideration -to functional aspects of
site development: The site plan gives maximum consideration to pedestrian access
to the site with a minimum of pedestrian/automobile conflict. The placement of
most of the parking in the subterranean parking garage assures that most of the
site not occupied by buildings will be usable by commercial tenants and customers,
the residents of the building, and incidental users. Lateral access to the public
access easement on the bay is achieved via the street ends at 26th and 28th
streets, as well as through the plaza. The parking garage includes separate egress
points for commercial and residential users, and the residential parking area is
completely separate from the commercial portion of•the parking garage.
Parking for the commercial portion of the development is provided as required
by the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Residential parking is provided at a ratio
of 2V2 spaces for each dwelling unit, which exceeds the minimum requirements (2
per D.U.) of the Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan.
i
TO: Planning Commission - 7.
-8.:—-- Development shall be- consistent with specific.General Plan atrd. applicable Specific" :. ..
Area Plan policies and objectives, and shall not preclude the implementation of those
policies and objectives: As discussed in the General Plan Compliance section, the
proposed project is consistent with the General Plan.
9. Development shall be physically compatible with the development site, taking into
consideration site characteristics including, but not limited to, slopes, submerged areas,
and sensitive resources. The proposed development is a mixed use, commercial/
residential project which includes marina uses in the submerged portions of the
site. The provision of most.of the parking entirely below grade minimizes the
building mass and bulk of the project, which is significantly below the maximum
allowed in the area. This increases the physical compatibility of the project,
because the large size of the site is unique in the Cannery Village area, and a
maximum intensity project would have more visual impacts than that which would
result on smaller lots in-the are .
10. When feasible, electrical and similar mechanical equipment and trash and storage
areas shall be concealed: Mitigation measures have been identified and will be
made conditions of approval which mandate the screening of electrical and
mechanical equipment, and conceal trash enclosures. Additionally, utilities along
Newport Boulevard will be placed underground as a condition of development.
11. Archaeological and historical resources shall be protected to the extent feasible:
There are no archeological or historical resources on-site.
12. Commercial development shall not have significant adverse effects on residences in
an abutting residential district: The site does not abut any residential district.
Use Permit No. 3361, A Use Peniut is required for three components of the project:
to allow the structure to be 35 feet in height in the 26/35 Foot Height Limitation Zone,
to allow general commercial and office uses in conjunction with incentive uses in the
Recreation and Marine Commercial District of the-Cannery Village/McFadden Square
Specific Area Plan, and to allow the commercial component of the project to have a
floor area ratio less that 0.25. Each of these requests is discussed below.
Buildine Height. The project,,is in the 26/35 Foot Height Limitation District. The
Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan sets forth specific criteria which
must be met in order to exceed the basic height limit to the higher limit established for
the area. Each of these criteria are listed below, with a discussion of the project relative
to each.
1. The development will provide for both public physical and visual access to the bay
within the limits that public safety is ensured and private property protected: The
design of the project includes a.10 foot public access easement along the bulkhead
from'26th Street to'28th Street: -Additionally, a plaza 'area between the two
buildings provides a broad visual access corridor, which is also available for use
by the public. The public plaza is 120 feet wide on the Newport Boulevarcrside
of the property, 170 feet wide on the Bay, and is a minimum of 100 feet wide
� I
TO: Plartng Commission - 8. •
throughout the property. On the second and third floors, the corridor is 50 feet
wide. These features of the plan combine to assure physical and visual access to
Newport Bay.
2. The increased building height would result in more public visual open space and
views than would result from compliance with the basic height limit. Particular
attention shall be given to the location and orientation of the structure on the lot,
the percentage of ground coverage, and the treatment of all setback and open area:
The development standards of the Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific
Area Plan would 'theoretically allow a structure 26 feet in height spanning the
property, although provisions for parking would have to be made, and the project
would still be subject to Site Plan Review. The only mandatory setbacks are 5
feet from Newport Boulevard and 10 feet from,the bulkhead line.
The-.proposed project provides setback areas greatly in excess of minimum
standards. The structure is at the minimum 5 foot Newport Boulevard setback for
65 feet, or approximately 20% of the Newport Boulevard frontage. The structure
is set back from the U.S. Government Bulkhead line a minimum of 20 feet, and
increases to as much as 42 feet.
The two structures are arranged on the site so that the "view corridor" is located
through the deepest portion of the property. This orientation results in a highly
useable open space area. At grade open space areas occupy approximately 6501b
of the site area.
3. The increased building.height would result in a more desirable architectural treatment
of the building and a stronger and more appealing visual character of the area within
the general theme of a marine environment: The two structures have been sited
and designed in a way which results in a good variation of building mass on
Newport Boulevard. The only elevation which presents a solid building mess is
on 26th Street,,across from the Balboa Boat Yard. This design minimizes the
visual impact of the two three-story structures. The large open space plaza
integrates the project with the marine environment provided by Newport Bay.
4. The increased building height would not result in undesirable or abrupt' scale
relationships being created between the structure and existing developments or public
spaces. Particular attention shall be given to the total bulk of the structure including
both horizontal and vertical dimensions: The dominant structure height in the
Cannery Village area is two stories, with most new construction at the 26 foot
height limit. The additional height of these building is not considered an abrupt
change from existing development.
5. The increase in height shall not result in floor area exceeding the floor area otherwise
permitted. The proposed project contains less floor area for both the residential
and-commercial components of-,the-project-than that permitted by--the- General" —
Plan.
Y
TO: Planning Commission - 9.
Incentive Use Provisions, The Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan
requires the provision of incentive uses if general purpose office, industrial or retail uses
are provided on-site. Marine-related office, visitor serving retail and residential uses do
not require the provision of incentive uses. The marina, the public access easement and
the marina support parking are incentive uses which will allow a portion of the building
to be occupied by general commercial uses. The Cannery Village/ McFadden Square
SAP describes the methodology for the provision of incentive uses, based upon the usage
of the site, the inclusion of parking in the calculation, and the omission of permitted
non-incentive uses from the calculation. Since this is a mixed use project, parking is
included in the calculations, and 350 sq.ft. is assumed for each parking space.
Incentive uses: 3,950 sq.ft. Public access
8,022 sq.ft. Marina
5,600 sg.ft. Marina parking
17,572 sq.ft. Incentive uses provided
17,572 sq.ft. is 40% of 43;930 sq.ft. Therefore 26,358 sq.ft. (43,930 —17,572) of use plus
parking can be general commercial uses. In order to determine the square footage of
the building that can be occupied by general commercial uses, this number is divided by
600 sq.ft.•[1 parking space (350 sq.ft.) plus 250 sq.ft. .floor area). This factor (43.93)
times 250 equals the floor area which may be-general commercial uses.

The conditions of approval set forth the required ratio of incentive to general commercial
and office land uses (40%). The provision of additional incentive uses within the
building would result in a change in the square footage presented here.
Commercial Floor Area Ratio. The newly adopted Floor Area Ratio Ordinance requires
the approval of a Use Permit for mixed use projects-where the commercial component
of the project is less than 0.25 FAR. For this project, the minimum commercial
development under this criteria is 22,815 sq.ft., and the project is proposed to be
22,500 sq.ft. of commercial development. Parking constraints preclude the addition of
the 315 sq.ft. necessary to meet the 0.25 FAR standard. The specific findings required
by the Floor Area Ratio Ordinance are listed below, with a discussion of the project
relative to each:
1
TO: Planning Commission,- 10.
1. That the proposed commercial space constitutes a significant portion of the project:
The commercial component of the project is 22,500 sq.ft. and the residential
component is 63,074 sq.ft. The commercial development is approximately 26% of
the total square footage. The determination of what constitutes a "significant
portion" of the project is a judgement to be made by the Planning Commission.
The provision of a significant amount of commercial development is,, in part,
limited by the parking requirements of that development. In this particular case,
the residential portion of the project is providing more parking than is required
by Code, in order to offset the fact that little on-street parking is available for
residential guest parking. Additionally, the parking required by the commercial
marina reduces the amount of parking available, while not contributing to the
commercial floor area of the project. Of the total parking provided, 55% is
required by commercial or marina parking.
In the past, projects involving subterranean parking have lost parking spaces as a
result of final engineering requirements. In order to assure that the commercial
development remains a significant portion of the development, a minimum amount
of commercial development should be established. Staff has suggested in the
conditions provided for approval a minimum of 20,000 sq.ft. for the commercial
component of the project, which is 0.22 FAR.
2. That the proposed commercial space is large enough to accommodate a viable
business: A total of 22,500 sq.ft. of commercial'development is proposed in the
two buildings. This is considered a viable amount of floor area to sustain
commercial businesses.
Traffic Study No. 59, A traffic study has been prepared for the proposed project in
conformance with the City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance and Council Policy S-1. Since
there has been a slight modification to the project as originally analyzed in the EIR and
Traffic Study, an addendum to the Traffic Study has been prepared and is attached to
this report. 'The proposed roject-15'16XpeC'ted-�to'Ve completed"'kn 1990i Analyses
therefore, completed for 1991. The City Traffic Engineer identified eight (8)
intersections which could be affected by the project at full occupancy.
The first step in evaluating intersections' is to conduct a 1% traffic volume analysis,
taking into consideration existing traffic, regional growth, and committed projects' traffic.
For any intersection where, on any approach leg, project traffic is estimated to be greater
than 1% of the projected peak 2'/2 hour volume in either the morning or afternoon,
Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) is required.
The 1% volume analysis identified two (2) intersections where traffic exceeded the one
percent criteria, one (1) in the morning peak hour and two (2) in the afternoon peak
hour. The following chart summarizes the results of the Intersection Capacity Utilization
analysis for the project.

In order to meet the criteria of the City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance, a project must be
found to neither cause nor make worse an intersection capacity utilization of 0.90 for the
year of analysis which includes all committed traffic and regional growth. As shown by
the above chart, intersections affected by the project operate at acceptable levels. The
project meets the criteria of the Traffic Phasing Ordinance.
Tentative Man of Tract No. 14025, The project includes a request to subdivide 26
existing lots into a vertical subdivision. This particular type of subdivision has not
previously been proposed in the City. It allows the parcel to be divided both horizontally
and vertically in order to create separate lots for each of the unique land uses. The
below grade parking area is divided into two lots, one for residential parking and one
for commercial parking. The at-grade lot is for the commercial, marina and open space
uses and is held as a single parcel. Two "air space" lots are created above the at-grade
lot for the residential condominium use. As a result, the commercial property owner has
ownership and maintenance-responsibilities-for the•commercia.jot;'structure-and-parking
garage and the residential condominium association and individual owners have ownership
and maintenance responsibilities for the residential lots, structure and parking garage.
Access provisions and structural maintenance responsibilities will be defined in the
Covenants, Codes and Restrictions. Public Works and Planning Department staff have
reviewed the proposed subdivision, and have no objections to the request.
Coastal Residential Development Permit No. 18, The proposed development is in the
Coastal Zone and contains more than two dwelling units. The project must, therefore,
comply with City Council Policy P-1, which requires the inclusion of low or moderate
income housing in the Coastal Zone, where feasible. It is currently envisioned that the
project will provide four off-site units for affordable housing in the Cannery Village area.
The project is, therefore, in compliance with Council Policy P-1. The conditions of

Conclusions and Specific Findings _ ._ . . _ ._ ._ -••
Section 20.01.070(F) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code sets forth the standards by
which the Commission is to evaluate Site Plan Reviews. Section 20.80.060 provides that
in order to grant any use permit, the Planning Commission shall find that the
establishment, maintenance and operation of the use or building applied for will not,
under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, peace,
morals, comfort and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood
of such proposed use or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the
neighborhood or the general welfare of the City. Additionally, specific findings must be
made to approve a use permit to exceed the basic height limit [Section 20.63.045(H)] and
to allow a commercial/residential mixed use project where the commercial component
is less than 0.25 FAR [Section 20.07.040(C)]. Findings required for the approval of a
Traffic Study are in Chapter 15.40. Section 19.12.020(D) provides that the Commission
shall make speck findings in order to approve a tentative tract.map: Requirements for

Dear Ms. Baesel :
This is an addendum letter to our July 24, 1989 study which summarized our
analysis of traffic factors related to the proposed 28th Street Marina
development in the City of Newport Beach. The study has been conducted to
satisfy the requirements of the City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance. This study
- is based upon information provided by you, City Staff and previous 'studies.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The site is located easterly of Newport Boulevard between 26th and 28th
Streets. At present, the site contains 8,000 square feet (SF) of marine
commercial , parking, dry boat storage and 21 boat slips. Planned development
includes 22,500 SF of commercial 'uses• and 36 residential dwelling units along
with the existing boat slips. Table 1 summarizes , existing and proposed
development quantities. Parking for 194 vehicles is proposed on site with
both surface and subterranean parking. All vehicular access to the site is
proposed from 28th Street. Figure 1 illustrates the site location.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Newport Boulevard is the southerly extension of the Route 55 Freeway and
extends southeasterly along the Balboa Peninsula. Adjacent to the site, it is
a one-way, northbound street 'with two travel lanes and on-street' parking.
Both 26th and 28th Streets have one -lane in each direction and extend from
Balboa Boulevard to the site. While 26th Street' terminates at the channel ,
28th connects to Lafayette Avenue. The intersection of Newport Boulevard and
28th Street is signalized. STOP signs control 26th Street traffic at Newport

Boulevard. There are 10 on-street parking spaces and two driveways along the
Newport Boulevard frontage. At present, there are single driveways on both
26th and 28th Streets with seven parking spaces on 26th Street and eight on
28th Street.
Existing daily traffic volumes and 1988 ICU values at major intersections are
illustrated on Figure 2. These . data were provided by the City of Newport
Beach.
TRIP GENERATION
Trip generation rates for various land uses have been developed from studies
conducted by government agencies and consultants. The City of Newport Beach
Traffic Engineer has recommended a rate for General Retail and residential
uses which would apply to this project. These rates are listed in Table 2.
The estimated 2.5 and peak hour trip generation for the existing and
development are listed in Table 3. These estimates are based upon the
quantities listed in Table 1. Since trips are currently being generated by
the existing uses, these trips were deducted so that the actual increase in
traffic could be estimated. The current trip generation from the site is
included in the existing traffic data utilized for the traffic analysis later
in this report. An estimated increase of 60 trips would be generated during
the AM 2.5 hour peak and 150 during the PM 2.5 hour peak. During the AM peak
hour, an increase estimated to be 30 trips would be generated and 75 during
the PM peak hour.
TRIP ASSIGNMENT
In order to assign project traffic to the street system, it is necessary to
develop a trip distribution pattern. A trip distribution pattern was
developed based upon regional land use and circulation, previous studies and
consideration of the proposed uses. This distribution is illustrated on
Figure 3. The estimated trips to be generated by the project were assigned to
the street system in conformance with this distribution.

TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
The traffic analysis has been ^completed to conform to the criteria of the City
of Newport Beach Traffic Phasing Ordinance. A total of eight intersections
were identified by the City Traffic Engineer for inclusion in the analysis.
The first required analysis is. the 'One Percent" test. An intersection is
defined as critical by the Ordinance when the project traffic exceeds one
percent of existing plus committed project plus regional growth traffic on any
approach to an intersection during the AM or PM 2.5 hour peak period. A list
of committed projects was provided by the City for inclusion in this study and
these projects are listed in Table 4. Since the project is scheduled for
completion in 1990, the analyses were completed for 1991 as required by the
Ordinance.
Appendix A contains the 'One Percent" analysis sheets for the eight
intersections analyzed and the results are summarized in Table 5. Review of
Table 5 indicates that all intersections passed the 'One Percent" test except
Newport Boulevard/32nd Street and Newport Boulevard/Via Lido.
In conformance with the Traffic Phasing Ordinance, ICU analyses were completed
for the two intersections for those periods that.were found to be critical .
These analyses are contained in Appendix B and included ex*'.sti'ng, existing
plus regional growth plus committed project_and.existing plus regional growth
plus committed project plus project traffic conditions. The results of these
analyses are summarized in Table 6. Review of Table 6 indicates that all
intersections are projected to have ICU values of less than 0.90 for the
critical periods with the project and committed project traffic. On this
basis the project would not be defined as having an impact in conformance with
the Ordinance.
Construction activity would be expected to generate increased truck traffic
durng some periods which could impact traffic operations. It is especially
important to consider the seasonal variation in traffic activity in the area
with respect to construction. Since the heaviest truck activity is understood
to be related to the excavation and concrete pouring, it is recommended that
these activities be restricted to the period between Labor Day and Easter.

It is further understood that the property owner also owns a half acre site on
28th Street that can be utilized for construction staging, storage of
materials and employee parking. This would reduce impacts upon traffic
operations in the area and is recommended to be a part of the construction
program.
The general impact of the proposed project on traffic in the area was also
reviewed. This review was directed toward the proposed uses and relationship
to summer peak traffic periods. As indicated in Table 1, the boat slips are
existing and would not be expected to add trips to the system. While the
residential uses are new, they would not be anticipated to add a significant
number of new trips during peak times. The residents would tend to arrange
travel patterns to avoid peak periods. In addition, as indicated in Table 3,
the residential trip generation is minimal. Finally, the commercial use would
be expected to serve a local market area due to its size. Commercial uses of
i
this size do not usually attract patrons from beyond the local area. On this
basis, the commercial would ease travel by providing additional services in
the area and reducing the need to go off the peninsula. In summary, the
proposed uses would not be expected to contribute significant increases to
summer peak traffic periods.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Vehicular access to the site will be provided on 28th Street with all except
12 parking spaces being below ground level. The subterranean parking will be
separated to reserve resident parking spaces by a gate system, A total of 90
spaces are provided for residents and their guests or 2.5 spaces per unit.
The remaining 104 spaces are for commercial uses and the boat slips (88
commercial and 16 boat slips).
Data relative to the grades and/or vertical profile of the ramps were not
provided. The design should be reviewed to determine the grade, grade breaks,
transitions and sight distance.
The project will allow the closing of two existing driveways on Newport
Y
Boulevard and one on 26th Street which will increase on-street parking. No
change in street parking will occur on 28th Street as a driveway currently
.w
�0 3
he
• • -10-
exists on this street. It is recognized that vehicles currently park in the
driveway areas on both 26th and 28th streets on occasion; however, these are
not legal parking spaces and not a part of the supply.
It is understood that the ramp from 28th Street to the parking area will
include a sidewalk or pedestrian facility. This will allow for persons with
material and/or equipment to take to their boats to reach the dock area and
serve the needs of shoppers with strollers or other equipment. It is further
understood that short term parking for loading and unloading will be provided
at ground level for deliveries, mail , drop-offs, etc.
SUMMARY
This study has reviewed traffic factors related to the 28th Street Marina
development as required by the City of Newport Beach Traffic Phasing
Ordinance. Estimates were made' of trips to be" generated by the project and
the impact of these trips evaluated in terms of ' the Ordinance. No
intersections were found to be impacted by the project. Some concerns related
to the site design with respect to vehicle access, loading facilities and
pedestrian circulation were identified.
Principal findings of the study are the following:
The project will generate 30 AM peak hour and 75 PM peak hour trip
ends over that generated by existing development.
2. Of the eight intersections evaluated, two did not pass the "One
Percent" test required by the Traffic Phasing Ordinance.
3. Of the two critical intersections, all were found to have ICU
values less than 0.90 with project traffic.
4. On an overall basis, the proposed uses are not expected to
significantly increase traffic during peak summer periods.
5. The closure of two existing driveways on Newport Boulevard and one
one 26th Street will increase the on-street• parking supply.
' 0
MITIGATION MEASURES
The following measures are recommended to mitigate potential traffic impacts
of the project.
1. Limit truck intensive construction activity (excavation, concrete
pouring) to the period between Labor Day and Easter.
2. Utilize property on 28th Street for construction phasing, storage
and employee parking.
3. Review the ramp designs with respect to grade, grade changes and
sight distance.
We trust that this study will be of assistance to you and the City of Newport
Beach. If you have any questions or require additional information, please
contact us.
