Planning Director Temple stated that the report is a planning amendment
request by The Irvine Company to allow an extension of the Four Seasons
Hotel and that this was initiated by Council in late 1997. She indicated that
staff prepared environmental documentation and traffic studies.
Carol Hoffman, The Irvine Comnanv, stated that The Irvine Company is
pleased to bring a project of this quality to the City and noted that her team
is in attendance tonight to answer questions.
Mayor Edwards opened the public hearing.
Don Gregory stated that there was a lot of debate at the EQAC meeting as
to The Irvine Company's plans for the community. He requested getting The
Irvine Company's master plan so that Council can vote intelligently on how
their plans will impact future areas.
Jan Vandersloot concurred with Mr. Gregory, noting that there is a master
plan for the Newport Center. He believed that there is a CIOSA agreement
between The Irvine Company and City agreeing to certain development
entitlements for circulation and open space. He stated that The Irvine
Company is now coming back and asking for an increased entitlement for an
i office tower to the Newport Center, specifically to the 800 block. Further,
there have been talks about removing open space at the Newport Village site
for housing. He believed that the City is increasing development and traffic,
and decreasing open space, and suggested asking them to provide affordable
senior housing.
Mayor Pro Tem. O'Neil emphasized that he chairs a City ad hoc committee
that deals with the future master plan development of the Newport Center.

He assured everyone that public forums will be conducted to review any
traffic studies and modeling that will occur with the build-out. Regarding
the General Plan Amendment, he stated that it was his understanding that
it was not The Irvine Company's project. He agreed that Council needs to
have a handle on the build-out of the Newport/Fashion Island Center as it is
planned to be the major commercial and retail center for Newport Beach.
He expressed the opinion that The Irvine Company is conscientiously
putting together a plan that will be made public and reviewed by EQAC.
Council Member Hedges noted that the Negative Declaration and analysis
conducted under the existing Traffic Phasing Ordinance shows that there is
virtually no impact or change to enter utilization or to the parking counts
that are studied hourly. He clarified that this project has nothing to do with
the CIOSA Agreement.
Hearing no further testimony, Mayor Edwards closed the public hearing.
Motion by Mavor Pro Tem O'Neil to adopt Resolution No. 98-48
approving General Plan Amendment 97-3(D); and sustain the action of the

a Council Member, make a determination as to the types of retail The Irvine
Company determines is fitting.
Without objection, the motion carried by acclamation.

Request to allow the construction of a 142,500 sq.ft.addition to an existing Recommended for
hotel. The project involves the approval of a General Plan Amendment,a approval
Traffic and Parking Study, a Use Permit and a Modification. The General
Plan Amendment is required to increase the total maximum hotel room
limit designated in Block 400 of Newport Center. The current limit is 325
hotel rooms which will be increased to 425 rooms. A use permit is required
for the expansion of the hotel and its ancillary uses. A modification is
required for the approval of an exterior wall sign which exceeds the
allowable area permitted for wall signs in the APF District. The 142,500 sq.
ft.addition includes:
• a 102-room,sixteen story tower addition;
• a 9,200 sq.ft.ballroom(400 seats);
• six meeting rooms totaling 3,800 sq.ft.;
• reconfiguration (demolition of existing tennis courts and a
portion of the existing health club) and expansion of the
existing health club/spa facilities (including masseuse services)
and;
• a wedding garden and pool facility for outdoor functions.
Ms.Temple noted by way of reference,a memorandum from the Planning
Department with an attached table is intended to be substituted for the
table on handwritten page 127 of the staff report. An older version of this
table was inadvertently included in the packet for copy to the Planning
Commission. Additionally,the applicant has requested and staff concurs

Chairperson Kranzley and all Commissioners noted for the record that they
had met with the applicant and received personal presentations of the
project.
Commissioner Gifford noted that during that process,she had received an
additional booklet that has a lot of data and asked if this should become
part of the record.
Ms. Clauson answered that if it is additional data that is not in the staff

report,then it should be.
Commissioner Adams pointed out that in one of the tables where it
discusses the number of rooms,there should be an asterisk to explain that
the number of rooms is not the number of keys.
Ms.Temple noted that this issue was a source of confusion by members of
the public as well commissioners. She explained that when staff analyzes
hotels, the maximum potential utilization is analyzed and the concept of
key or lock off nodules is used. In hotels,rooms are quite often assembled
and disassembled in to various uses and activities such as suites and
meeting rooms. The entitlement being requested in the General Plan
Amendment and the Use Permit is numbered and assigned based on the
optimal utilization of these facilities based on the smallest increment use or
the greatest number of rooms potential. The existing hotel has
authorization for 325 rooms, they actually use only 285. Were they to
optimize the physical plant to individual rooms, they could have a far
greater number. The request for an additional 100 rooms is the General
Plan entitlement in the optimal utilization,the new tower is 102 rooms. This
approach is used to make sure that the worst case is assessed for traffic
purposes and for the analysis of all the relative impacts of the proposed
project.
Ms. Clauson, having been handed the additional pamphlet referenced
by Commissioner Gifford stated that it appears to contain the same
exhibits that are on the board.
Public Comment was opened.
Carol Hoffman of The Irvine Company stated that their entire team was
present to speak to this issue if needed. They have attempted to present
a comprehensive packet of material for consideration and appreciate
time taken for review. At Commission inquiry,Ms. Hoffman noted that the
employees park in structures in Block 600 if they do not come by public
transportation.
Bernie Rome, President of Big Canyon Community Association spoke on
behalf of this application noting that the applicant gave a briefing to the
affected residents that live across San Joaquin Hills Road. He commented
that approximately 75% of the cars egressing from the complex will be
going north,either on MacArthur or Jamboree. He asked that the green lit
sign indicating San Joaquin Hills Road be replaced. This would alleviate
the cars that inadvertently come into Big Canyon having to turn around,
since this is a private community. Continuing, he noted that in reality,
there should be a 'Not a Through Street', to make it clear to drivers that
there should be either a right or left turn on to San Joaquin Hills Rd.

Request to allow the construction of a 142,500 sq.ft.addition to an existing Recommended for
hotel. The project involves the approval of a General Plan Amendment,a approval
Traffic and Parking Study,a Use Permit and a Modification. The General
Plan Amendment is required to increase the total maximum hotel room
limit designated in Block 600 of Newport Center. The current limit is 325
hotel rooms which will be increased to 425 rooms. A use permit is required
for the expansion of the hotel and its ancillary uses. A modification is
required for the approval of an exterior wall sign which exceeds the
allowable area permitted for wall signs in the APF District. The 142,500 sq.
ff.addition includes:
• a 102-room,sixteen story tower addition;
• a 9,200 sq.ff,ballroom(600 seats);
• six meeting rooms totaling 3,800 sq.ft.;
• reconfiguration (demolition of existing tennis courts and a
portion of the existing health club) and expansion of the
existing health club/spa facilities (including masseuse services)
and;
• a wedding garden and pool facility for outdoor functions.
Ms.Temple noted by way of reference,a memorandum from the Planning
Department with an attached table is intended to be substituted for the
table on handwritten page 127 of the staff report. An older version of this
table was inadvertently included in the packet for copy to the Planning
Commission. Additionally,the applicant has requested and staff concurs
with the modification of Use Permit No. 3631 Condition 5 to add,...Except
short term construction or delivery activities approved through an
Encroachment Permit.
Chairperson Kran7Jey and all Commissioners noted for the record that they
had met with the applicant and received personal presentations of the
project.
CommissionerGifford noted that during that process,she had received an
additional booklet that has a lot of data and asked if this should become
part of the record.
Ms. Clauson answered that if it is additional data that is not in the staff
11
City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Minutes
June 4, 1998 INDEX
report,then it should be.
Commissioner Adams pointed out that in one of the tables where it
discusses the number of rooms, there should be an asterisk to explain that
the numberof rooms is not the numberof keys.
Ms.Temple noted that this issue was a source of confusion by members of
the public as well commissioners. She explained that when staff analyzes
hotels,the maximum potential utilization is analyzed and the concept of
key or lock off nodules is used. In hotels,rooms are quite often assembled
and disassembled in to various uses and activities such as suites and
meeting rooms. The entitlement being requested in the General Plan
Amendment and the Use Permit is numbered and assigned based on the
optimal utilization of these facilities based on the smallest increment use or
the greatest number of rooms potential. The existing hotel has
authorization for 325 rooms, they actually use only 285. Were they to
optimize the physical plant to individual rooms, they could have a for
greater number. The request for an additional 100 rooms is the General
Plan entitlement in the optimal utilization,the new tower is 102 rooms. This
approach is used to make sure that the worst case is assessed for traffic
purposes and for the analysis of all the relative impacts of the proposed
project.
Ms. Clauson, having been handed the additional pamphlet referenced
by Commissioner Gifford stated that it appears to contain the same
exhibits that are on the board.
Public Comment was opened.
Carol Hoffman of The Irvine Company stated that their entire team was
present to speak to this issue if needed. They have attempted to present
a comprehensive packet of material for consideration and appreciate
time taken for review. At Commission inquiry,Ms.Hoffman noted that the
employees park in structures in Block 600 if they do not come by public
transportation.
Bernie Rome, President of Big Canyon Community Association spoke on
behalf of this application noting that the applicant gave a briefing to the
affected residents that live across San Joaquin Hills Road. He commented
that approximately 75% of the cars egressing from the complex will be
going north,either on MacArthur or Jamboree. He asked that the green lit
sign indicating San Joaquin Hills Road be replaced. This would alleviate
the cars that inadvertently come into Big Canyon having to turn around,
since this is a private community. Continuing, he noted that in reality,
there should be a 'Not a Through Street', to make it clear to drivers that
there should be either a right or left turn on to San Joaquin Hills Rd.

Background
At its.meeting of September 12, •1983,the City Council approved:the Certification of the Draft EIR
General Plan Amendment No. 82-2 (Four Seasons Hotel); Acceptance of a Traffic Study;
Resubdivision No. 752; and Site Plan Review No. 32. The hotel was then approved for 319 guest
rooms;meeting/conference rooms,banquet facilities,restaurants, and various recreation and service
facilities. The City Council action on these items was taken after a recommendation for approval
made by the Planning Commission on August 4, 1983.
At its meeting of December 6, 1984 the Planning Commission approved Use Permit No. 3119 and
Site Plan Review No. 32 (Amended), which involved a request to construct a three story parking
structure for the Four Seasons Hotel, a reconfiguration of the existing hotel facility and the
acceptance of two off-site parking agreements.
At its meeting of August 8, 1991,the Planning Commission approved a second amendment to Site
Plan Review No. 32 which permitted the installation of two wall identification signs on the
building.
On January 6, 1994, the Planning Commission approved a third amendment to Site Plan Review
No. 32 which permitted the construction of a 9,000 square foot ballroom/banquet facility with
ancillary uses to include a kitchen, restrooms, storage and pre-function areas. The approval
included a 3,600 square foot lawn area for various outdoor functions. The approval also included a
traffic study for the proposed new facilities, new off-site parking arrangement for a portion of the
hotel's required parking, and the-acceptance,of an environmental impact document. The applicant
tells us that this approval was not implemented due to the economic climate of the hotel market at
that time.
The hotel currently operates with 285 guest rooms,six meeting rooms,and other ancillary-uses.
Analysis
The subject application involves a request to amend the Land Use Element of the City's General
Plan to increase the number of allowable hotel rooms within Block 600 (Financial Plaza) of
Newport Center(Statistical Area LI)by an additional 100 rooms. Currently,the Land Use Element
limits the number of hotel rooms within Block 600 of Newport Center to 325 hotel rooms. The
proposed amendment to the Land Use Element will increase the allowable number of hotel rooms
from 325 to 425 rooms. This amendment is proposed to accommodate the proposed 102 room
tower addition to the Four Seasons Hotel site as well as provide flexibility in reconfiguring the
existing hotel tower's number of room keys for the hotel. Several of the existing meeting rooms
and suites are capable of being further divided to create additional individual rooms. This will
allow for a maximum amount of future expansion to take place without triggering additional traffic
analysis requirements in the future. This project also includes a request to approve,a use permit to

allow the construction of an additional 142,500 square feet to the existing Four Seasons Hotel. The
addition proposes a sixteen story tower addition and associated ancillary uses. The proposal also
includes a request to approve a traffic and parking study for the proposed addition, the acceptance
of an environmental document and a modification for a proposed wall sign in excess of the
permitted sign area.
General Plan Amendment
The Land Use Element of the General Plan is a long range planning document setting forth the
City's policies for the use of land. The Land Use Element designates the site as "Administrative,
Professional and Financial Commercial" and limits Block 600 to 325 hotel rooms. A General Plan
amendment is required to increase the maximum number of permitted hotel rooms from 325 to 425
to accommodate the proposed hotel expansion. The objective of the Land Use Element is to
provide for an orderly balance of residential and commercial uses with an emphasis on preserving
the quality of life found in the City.
The adopted limits for Newport Center (Statistical Area LI) Block 600 provide only a description
of the limits on the existing development in the block and do not provide for further growth at this
time. However, amendments to the General Plan may be approved with the finding that the
amendment is consistent with the intent and policies of the General Plan.
General Plan Policy B allows for some modest growth provided that traffic does not exceed the
level of service desired by the City. In order to assess consistency with this policy, a General Plan
level traffic analysis was conducted. This analysis showed the proposed increase in hotel
development would not result in significant changes to long range traffic service levels. Therefore,
approval of this amendment would be consistent with this policy.
General Plan Policy C in the Land Use Element allows for commercial, recreation or destination
visitor serving facilities when traffic congestion and parking shortages are controlled. The Four
Seasons Hotel is an existing, well established resort hotel seeking to expand its capabilities. Based
on the Traffic Study and parking demand analysis discussed later in this report, adequate on-site
parking is available in Block 600 of Newport Center for the existing uses and proposed addition.
Therefore, the amendment to increase the maximum number of hotel rooms in Block 600 is
consistent with this General Plan policy.
General Plan Policy D requires that the siting of new buildings and structures shall be controlled
and regulated to preserve, to the extent practical, public views and unique natural resources. While
the City remains committed to protect private property rights, it is also committed to regulate the
placement of buildings in areas adjacent to valuable natural resources and environmentally sensitive
habitats.

The proposed location of the hotel addition is Block 600 of Newport Center, known as Financial
Plaza, which contains a mixture of administrative and financial commercial developments. The
existing development is a combination of low rise support structures and high rise office buildings.
The proposed hotel tower addition will maintain an overall height of 170 feet, which is
approximately 40 feet less than the existing hotel tower. The proposed architectural style, finish
and color will be similar to the existing development, and therefore is in keeping with the general
character of the area. The new tower addition is within the existing hotel site,will be developed on
the interior of the block, and will be integrated into the existing hotel site development.
Additionally,the location of the new structure will not adversely affect natural resources nor will it
impact environmentally sensitive habitat. The proposed amendment therefore meets.the intent of
General Plan Policy D.
General Plan,Policy L,provides for the City to promote the prosperity of its commercial districts
through the adoption of appropriate development regulations so that those districts reflect and
compliment the high quality of its residential areas. As previously stated,the proposed amendment
will provide for the'expansion of an existing, high-end hotel. This hotel is an integral part of an
important commercial district in the City,Newport Center. It is the opinion of staff that expansion
of this hotel will improve the prosperity of Newport Center'by increasing recreational and business
visitor accommodations which support the primary retail and office uses in the area. Therefore,the
amendment meets the intent of General Plan Policy L.
Use Permit
The project site is in the APF District, consistent with the General Plan land use designation. The
APF District allows hotels with the approval of a use permit. The proposed hotel addition complies
with all APF District property development regulations with the exception of wall sign area
requirements,which are discussed later in this report.
Approval of this use permit will allow a 142,500 square foot addition. The existing hotel's
approval allowed 319'hotel rooms to be built. 285 rooms were actually established along with the
ancillary uses including 11 meeting rooms, ballroom and banquet facilities. The proposed use
permit will allow a maximum of 102 additional hotel rooms to be located on site. The use permit
will also allow new ancillary uses which include a 9,200 square foot ballroom (600 seats), six
meeting rooms totaling 3,800 square feet,a"Wedding Garden"area with adjacent gardens and pool
facility for outdoor functions, reconfiguration and expansion of the health club/spa facilities from
3,122 square feet to 12,622 square feet, including masseuse services. The proposed additions are
compared to the existing hotel and are summarized in the Area Comparison Table below:

As shown on the site plan,the new tower addition and outdoor function area will be located on the
north and east of the existing hotel facilities adjacent to Center Drive. New construction will
displace the existing turfed area(reserved hotel expansion area)adjacent to the service entry/surface
parking lot behind the hotel's parking structure,the tennis courts, and 14 parking spaces within the
surface parking area which currently serves as a secondary drop off area located behind the Twin
Palms restaurant. Access to the new facilities will utilize the existing primary/main entry, service
entry,and secondary drop off area via Center Drive.

Project Aesthetics
The project site is nearly fully developed and has been developed for more than 15 years,with the
exception of an existing on-site vacant parcel historically planned for hotel expansion use.
Surrounding properties are also fully developed. The proposed 16 story, 170 foot tower is to be
located on the existing vacant parcel. The height and bulk of the new tower are such that it will be
visible from many locations within and around the Newport Center area, and views north from
Pacific Coast Highway. Exhibits 9 and 10 of the Negative Declaration Document illustrate the
existing site conditions and a condition with development of the proposed hotel addition through
photo simulation. The immediate vicinity of the project site includes a number of existing towers,
many over 15 stories. The photo simulation demonstrates the impact of the proposed hotel tower
on the existing view of Newport Center.
Based on the sbade/shadow analysis provided as part of the Negative Declaration, the
shadelshadow cast by the new tower will be confined to the existing hotel tower and immediately
surrounding business properties and structures. Exhibits 11 and 12 of the Negative Declaration
Document depict the extreme southerly and northerly declinations of the sun. Exhibit 11 depicts
the longest shadow cast by the building at 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p,m. on December 21, the shortest
day of the year. December 21 azimuths are a"worst case"due to the extreme southerly declination
of the sun. Exhibit 12 depicts the longest shadow cast by the building at 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
on June 21, the longest day of the year. June 21 azimuths represent the shadow cast during the
extreme northerly declination of the sun. As can be seen by the shade/shadow exhibits,the shadow
cast by the new tower will be confined to the existing hotel tower and immediately surrounding
structures and does not significantly impact Newport Center or Big Canyon properties and
structures.
Off-Street Parkine
Parking for the land uses within Block 600 are provided in two parking structures and six surface
parking lots. The Four Seasons Hotel has a separate parking structure and parking in front of the
hotel which serves only the guests at the hotel. The total number of parking spaces available
specifically for the Four Seasons Hotel,after the proposed hotel expansion,is 408 parking spaces(a
reduction of 14 parking spaces). The total number of parking spaces available within Block 600 of
Newport Center before the hotel addition is 3,167 parking spaces and after the hotel addition is
3,153 parking,spaces. In order to determine whether there is a parking surplus for the overflow
parking from the Four Seasons Hotel, the entire Block 600 was analyzed with the assumption that
all of the land uses within Block 600 would be fully occupied.
The parking ratios established in the Zoning Code for the existing uses in Block 600 (including the
hotel addition)would require a total of 3,074 parking spaces,with a resulting parking surplus of 79
parking spaces. The hotel will require a total of 501 parking spaces after expansion,resulting in an
on-site parking deficit of 93 parking spaces. However, the hotel has existing off-site parking

agreements which provide access to the surplus,parking in the structure. With these agreements,
and given the overall surplus parking in the area, the project provides the parking required by the
Municipal Code.
The actual demand for parking in Block 600 was also analyzed assuming full operation of all uses.
This study showed a total of 2,347 parking spaces are needed for Block 600 uses. After all the uses
are served, including the proposed expansion and activities in the ballroom at the Four Seasons
Hotel, there would be a parking surplus of 806 parking spaces in Block 600 based on the actual
parking demand.
The parking study prepared by WPA Traffic Engineering, Inc., concluded that there is sufficient
parking supply within Block 600 to serve the existing businesses and proposed land uses including
the hotel addition.
Vehicular Access and On-Site Circulation
The proposed on-site circulation for the Four Seasons Hotel is illustrated on the Existing Parking
Site Plan (Exhibit 8, Page 10 of the attached traffic study). Parking Structure No. 2, shown on
Exhibit 8, will provide the overflow parking for the hotel. The ingress/egress to said parking
structure is provided from Center Drive, which is internal to Block 600, extending between Santa
Cruz Drive and Santa Rosa Drive. The City Traffic Engineer has reviewed the plans and does not
anticipate any problems.
Modification
The applicant has proposed a single-faced, illuminated wall sign for identification of the building.
The wall sign will be located at the upper most portion on the north elevation of the new tower. The
proposed illuminated wall sign is comprised of individual channel letters attached directly to the
face of the building. The sign copy measures 5'4" tall by 37'6" long and the logo sign measures
9'0" by 11'9" for a total combined area of 306 sq. ft. Section 20.67 of the Municipal Code limits
the area of a wall sign or signs on any frontage of a building to a maximum of 200 sq. ft. (including
logos). The proposed Four Seasons wall sign exceeds the maximum by 106 sq. ft. However,based
on the size of the tower,the proposed wall sign is in scale with the proposed building and does not
appear excessively large, and is a duplicate of the hotel's existing tower signage previously
approved by the Planning Commission.
Traffic Study
A traffic study has been prepared which analyzes the impact of the proposed project on the peak
hour traffic and circulation system in accordance with Chapter 15 of the Municipal Code and

Council Policy L-18. The City Traffic Engineer has identified ten intersections which could be
affected by the proposed project. Each of these intersections are identified in Table 3 on Page 8 of
the attached traffic study. The traffic study indicates that the proposed project will not have a
significant impact on the level of service at the key intersections identified and, therefore, the
project complies with the requirements of the City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance and Council Policy.
A detailed discussion of the traffic study can be found in the appendix of this report.
Recommendations
The adoption and amendment of the General Plan is considered a legislative act on the part of the
City, and State Planning Law does not set forth any required findings for either approval or denial
of a General Plan Amendment. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed location of the hotel
addition and the proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained are consistent
with the General Plan and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The proposed
project is consistent with General Plan policies because adverse traffic impacts are not anticipated
in association with the project, adequate parking is provided and the project will not affect public
views or unique natural resources. The approval of the amendment to the General Plan's Land Use
Element, for the proposed hotel addition is consistent with the City's land use policies.
Additionally, the project is located within a large regional commercial and office center and
therefore is physically compatible with the existing surrounding development.
Section 20.91.035 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code provides that in order to grant any use
permit,the Planning Commission shall find that the establishment,maintenance or 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.
Based on the analysis contained in this report, staff is of the opinion that the finding for approval of
the use permit can be made for the proposed hotel facility expansion since the proposed hotel
addition will be integrated into the existing hotel site development and will comply with the
objectives of the City's zoning code. The parking requirement and demand of the site can be
adequately met by the parking provided by the reciprocal pool of parking for Block 600. Issues
related to access and site circulation have been addressed by the parking demand and Traffic study
and in •the conditions of approval. Additionally, due to the highly developed character of the
surrounding land uses which include a combination of low rise support structures and several other
multi-story high rise buildings, the development will not impact the character of the existing
development. Furthermore, the proposed exterior illuminated wall sign will not, under the
circumstances of this case, be detrimental to persons, property or improvements in the
neighborhood, and is consistent with the legislative intent of Title 20 of the Municipal Code since
:the sign is located at the uppermost portion of the tower structure, is in scale with the size of the

M
tower, and is consistent with the sign on the existing tower structure previously approved by the
Planning Commission.
Based on the traffic analysis performed for this project, the ICU values during the A.M. and'P.M.
were maintained from the existing plus growth plus committed project conditions and did not
increase with the project. Therefore, it is determined that the proposed project will have a nominal
impact on the level of service at the key intersections identified and is in conformance with the
City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance.
Should the Planning Commission wish to approve the subject project, the actions and findings and
conditions of approval set forth in the attached exhibit for approval are suggested.
Staff cannot reasonably conceive of findings for denial since the proposed hotel use conforms to the
requirements of the Title 20 of the Municipal Code and does not appear to have any detrimental
effect on the surrounding neighborhood. However, should information be presented at the public
hearing which would warrant the denial of this application, the Planning Commission may wish to
take such action.

Expanded Traffic Study Analysis
The attached traffic study satisfies the requirements of the City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance and
Council Policy K-3. The trip generation forecasts are set forth in Table 2, located on Page 7 of the
attached traffic study. A detailed explanation of the criteria used for the trip generation forecasts is
set forth on Page 9 of the traffic study. The City Traffic Engineer has identified ten intersections
which could be affected by the proposed project. These intersections are listed in Table 3, located
on Page 8 of the attached traffic study.
The first step in evaluating intersections is to conduct a one percent 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 one percent of
the projected 2%: hour volume in either the morning or afternoon, an Intersection Capacity
Utilization(ICU)analysis is required.
As summarized in Table 5 located on Page 10 of the attached traffic study, an analysis of each of
the ten intersections identified an increase in traffic at one or more intersection legs that exceeded
1%of the projected 2-%:hour morning and afternoon peak traffic at the following two intersections:
Jamboree Road and San Joaquin Hills Road
MacArthur Boulevard and San Joaquin Hills Road
An Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) analysis was prepared for each of the above noted two
intersections. As indicated in Table 4, located on Page 9 of the attached traffic study, the ICU
values during the A.M. and P.M. peak for these two intersections did not exceed 0.90. These ICU
values were maintained from the existing plus growth plus committed project conditions and did
not increase with the project. Therefore, it is determined that the proposed project will have a very
nominal impact on the level of service at the key intersections and that the project is in
conformance with the City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance.

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL EXPANSION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
r• Intersection analyses were completed for ten study intersections under near
term and long range General Plan conditions. The analyses of the study
intersections for the near term and long range General Plan conditions
indicated that the expansion of the Four Seasons Hotel would not have a
significant impact on the study intersections.
❖ Parking conditions were also analyzed. Under typical operating conditions
at the hotel, which would include full occupancy with the proposed
expansion and no functions in the ballrooms, adequate parking is available
within the parking structure located on-site.
Under conditions where the hotel is at full occupancy,including the proposed
expansion,and functions taking place in the'ballrooms,there would be an on-
site parking shortage of 93 parking spaces; however approximately 806
parking spaces would be available within Block 600 to serve the 93 parking
spaces needed.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Four Seasons Hotel is located on the northeasterly corner of Newport Center Drive and Santa Cruz
Drive, which is known as Block 600 of Newport Center. The hotel is proposing to add 140 guest
rooms to the existing 285 room hotel along with a 9,000 square foot ballroom usable for,meetings
and other functions with a maximum occupancy of 600 persons. Valet parking would be available.
Vehicles would be parked on-site and overflow parking is available in a parking garage located at
630 Newport Center Drive.

Figure 1 illustrates the location of the site in relationship to the surrounding street system. It should
be noted that a current site plan is unavailable for inclusion in this study. It is estimated,that the
proposed project will be completed by the beginning of the Year 2000.
TRIP GENERATION
In order to estimate the trips generated by the proposed uses, trip generation rates for a hotel land
use was referenced from Th Generation'. In addition, counts were conducted at the existing Four
Seasons Hotel on a Thursday(10-9-97) and a Friday(10-10-97) to determine trip generation rates
for the existing facility. The count data to determine 2.5 peak hour and peak hour rates for the
existing Four Seasons Hotel count be found in Appendix A. A trip generation rate comparison
between the ITE rates, rates based upon existing counts and rates utilized in the original Four
Seasons Hotel study is shown on Table 1. This comparison was conducted to determine the best
rate to use for the proposed Four Seasons Hotel expansion. All of the rates shown in Table 1 were
based upon the number of guest rooms.
Based upon discussions with City Staff, the highest rates obtained through existing counts at the
Four Seasons Hotel,as shown in Table 1 in bold,would be utilized for the proposed project. These
rates would account for not only the proposed 140 rooms,but also the proposed 9,000 SF ballroom.
It should be noted that the trip generation estimates for hotel uses are generally based upon the
number of guest rooms and includes consideration of restaurant, retail and meeting/ballroom
facilities.
In order to establish a daily rate for the Four Seasons Hotel, 24-hour directional counts were
conducted at the main driveway to the hotel and the driveway located to the east of the Four Seasons
Hotel parking structure for four(4) days. Data was also collected regarding the number of rooms
which were occupied during the count. Based upon the number of rooms occupied and the 24-hour

count data,a daily trip generation rate was established for each of the four days counted. Table I
shows the average daily rate(8.28)of the four day period which was utilized in this study.
Table 2 summarizes the trip generation rates utilized in this study and trips generated for the
proposed project. As shown in Table 2, the proposed project is estimated to generate 1,160 daily
trip ends of which 80(55 In,25 Out)would occur during the AM peak hour and 90 (40 In, 50 Out)
would occur during the PM peak hour.
TRIP DISTRIBUTION
Project distribution percentages were developed based upon previously completed and accepted
distributions in the area, the location of the trip attractors, type of land use,proximity of freeways,
and the surrounding street system. Figure 2 illustrates the resulting distribution percentages which
have been previously approved by the City of Newport Beach Engineering Department. The project
generated trip-ends were.then assigned to the road system based on these distribution percentages
and the proposed project accesses.
TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSES
The City of Newport Beach Traffic Engineering Department was contacted to determine the
intersections that were to be included,these analyses. There are a total of ten(10)intersections which
were included in this study and they are listed in Table 3.
The "One Percent Traffic Volume Analysis"which is part of the City of Newport Beach Traffic
Phasing Ordinance(TPO) and provided to us by the City of Newport Beach was utilized for each
of the study intersections. If project generated traffic is greater than one percent of the combined
total of existing, regional growth and committed project traffic on any approach to any of the
selected intersections,then additional analyses are required which consists of Intersection Capacity
Utilization(ICU)analyses. Projects may be approved when the ICU value for an intersection will
not exceed 0.90 or the ICU value does not change when the project is added.

As established by the TPO the basis for the comparison includes existing traffic,regional growth and
approved/committed project traffic. A list of the committed projects is provided in Table 4. Since
the project is scheduled for completion in the Year 2000, the analyses were completed for the Year
2001 as required by the Ordinance.
The proposed project peak 2.5 hour volumes(which are double the peak hour volumes) for the AM
and PM were distributed onto the street system, and these trips were added to the "One Percent
Traffic Volume Analysis". Appendix B contains the data for the individual intersections and the
results are summarized in Table 5.
The criteria established by the City of Newport Beach requires that any intersection where the
project traffic during the 2.5 hour peak exceeds one percent of existing plus regional growth plus
approved project traffic must be analyzed in detail. Review of Table 5 indicates that two of the ten
study intersections exceed the maximum one percent on at least one approach and must be
considered critical and are subject to the ICU analyses.
The two study intersections of Jamboree Rd. & San Joaquin Hills Rd. and MacArthur & San
Joaquin Hills Rd were further analyzed to determine potential impacts.
Utilizing the "Intersection Capacity Utilization Analysis"forms from the Traffic Phasing Ordinance
(TPO)procedure,ICU values were determined including traffic increases due to regional growth and
previously approved projects. The individual analysis sheets are contained in Appendix C and
summarized in Table 6.
Review of Table 6 indicates that the two study intersections of Jamboree/San Joaquin Hills and
MacArthur/San Joaquin Hills would operate at acceptable Levels of Service, with the existing
geometrics, during both the AM and PM peak hours under the TPO guidelines for conditions with
the project.

FUTURE CONDITIONS-LONG RANGE GENERAL PLAN
Based upon information from the City of Newport Beach, a model run of the area utilizing the
NBTAM was conducted by Austin-Foust Associates, Inc. providing traffic daily forecast data on
road segments and peak hour data at the study intersections under Long Range General Plan Baseline
conditions both with and without the project.
Table 2 lists the trip generation rates utilized in the model for Hotel land uses. These rates were
applied to the current number of rooms in the model, 325 rooms, for the Four Seasons Hotel. After
the proposed expansion,the Four Seasons Hotel will have a total of 425 rooms. As shown in Table
2,utilizing the trip generation rates found in the model there was a net increase under Long Range
General Plan conditions of 870 daily trips ends of which 67 (40 In, 27 Out)would occur during the
AM peak hour and 76 (41 In, 35 Out)would occur during the PM peak hour.
Long Range Baseline Conditions Without the Project
A model run was performed under baseline conditions without the project. Figure 3 illustrates the
daily volumes on the road system within the vicinity of the proposed project under Long Range
General Plan conditions without the project.
Baseline intersection analyses under the Long Range General Plan conditions without the project
were also conducted at each of the study intersections. The ICU worksheets can be found in
Appendix C and summarized in Table 7.
As shown in Table 7,all of the study intersections would operate at an acceptable Level of Service
except for the study intersections of Coast HighwayBayside (0.92/E-PM), MacArthur/Jamboree
(1.12/F-PM) and Jamboree/Bristol N. (1.01/F-AM, 1.02/F-PM).

It should be noted that information was obtained from the City of Newport Beach Traffic
Engineering Department regarding the geometrics at°the study intersection of Jamboree/Eastbluff-
Ford. Currently the geometrics show a single eastbound right turn lane. Based upon information
from the City, there is going to be an eastbound free right turn lane which is a planned City
improvement to be completed within the next four years. The ICU sheets were revised to reflect the
change in the geometrics.
Long Range Baseline Conditions With the Project
The model distributed the net increase from the proposed project onto the street system and the
model run was completed under baseline conditions with the project. Figure 4 illustrates the daily
volumes under Long Range General Plan conditions with the project. The volumes indicate that
with the proposed project expansion,daily volumes located on San Joaquin Hills between Jamboree
and Santa Cruz Drive and on San Miguel Drive between Newport Center Drive and MacArthur
Boulevard would have a slight increase,while the daily volumes on all other road segments remain
unchanged. The road segments on San Joaquin Hills and San Miguel Drive would provide direct
access to the project site and a slight change in daily volumes would be expected. As Figure 4
illustrates,all other road segments remain unchanged which indicates that based on a General Plan
overview of the area, the proposed project has an insignificant impact on the surrounding street
system. This is further justified by the specific analyses of intersection operations.
The study intersections were analyzed under Long Range General Plan conditions with the project.
Table 7, which was presented earlier, shows that the same three study intersections of Coast
HighwayBayside (0.92/E-1`M), MacArthur/Jamboree (1.12/F-PM) and Jamboree/Bristol N.
(1.01/F-AM, 1.02/F-PM)continue to operate at unacceptable Levels of Service. An ICU comparison
of conditions with and without the project indicates that there is no increase in the ICU values at
these three study intersections. Utilizing the City's guidelines,no mitigation measures are required.

A parking study'has been completed of the existing parking facilities located within the 600 block
of Newport Center .Drive in Newport Beach. The Block 600 parking study was utilized as a
reference for the parking analyses within this report.
The total parking provided within Block 600 is 3,161 parking spaces which provides parking for the
addresses of 600,610,620,630,660 Newport Center Drive,the Twin Palms Restaurant and the Four
Seasons Hotel. Although the Four Seasons Hotel has on-site parking facilities, at times there is a
need for overflow parking off-site, In order to determine whether there is a parking surplus for the
overflow parking from the Four Seasons Hotel, the entire Block 600 was analyzed with the
assumption that all of the land uses within Block 600 would be fully occupied.
-Existing Parking Su,p !
Parking for the land uses within Block 600 are provided via two parking structures and six surface
parking lots. The Four Seasons Hotel has a separate parking structure and parking in front of the
hotel which serves only the guests at the hotel along with adjacent surface lots. The total number
of parking spaces available specifically, for the Four Seasons Motel, after the expansion,would be
408 parking spaces, as shown in Table 8. With the expansion of the hotel a total of 14 parking
spaces will be displaced. Table 8 also indicates the total number of parking spaces available within
Block 600 Newport Center Drive both before (3,167 parking spaces) and after(3,153 parking
spaces)the expansion of the hotel.
Parking Demand-Based upon City Code
The entire Block 600 of Newport Center Drive was included in the parking analyses to determine
existing parking demands. The City of Newport Beach parking codes, existing parking covenants

and a recent parking study3 in the area were referenced to obtain parking requirements for the land .
.uses within Block 600. Table 9 lists the total number of parking spaces required for the Health.
Club, office buildings, restaurant, existing hotel and the hotel expansion. As shown in Table 9
based upon City code, all the land uses within Block 600 would require a total of 3,074 parking
spaces.
As stated earlier in this study, after completion of the proposed project there would be a total of
3,153 parking spaces available. With a parking demand,based,upon City code, for the entire Block
600 of Newport Center Drive of 3,074, there would be a parking surplus of 79 parking spaces.
Parking Demand-Based upon Current Parking Counts
Parking counts were conducted for Block 600 in August, 1997 and are shown in Table 10. As
shown in Table 10,the peak parking period occurred on Monday(8/11/97)at 11:00 AM with a total
of 1,874 parked vehicles. It should be noted that at the time of these counts,the occupancy rate for
the office land uses was 95 percent. Conditions at the Four Seasons Hotel included 262 rooms that
were occupied at the time of the count and no activity in the ballrooms.
Irrorder to account for full operations at the Four Seasons Hotel,an additional count was conducted
in January, 1998 when there was a function in the ballroom. Table I shows a breakdown of the
Four Seasons Hotel parking count to include 267 parked vehicles in the on-site parking structure
which is valet,31 parked vehicles in adjacent Surface Lots(one is located behind the on-site parking
structure (15) and the other located in back of the Twin Palms Restaurant (16)) and U parked
vehicles in the front court yard for a total of 309 parked vehicles. As stated earlier,at the time of the
count a total of 262 room&were occupied of the 285 rooms available.

Parking,rates were established specifically for the Four Seasons Hotel,based upon the most recent
count data and counts which were conducted earlier at the Four Seasons Hotel. Table 12 shows the
various parking rates for the Four Seasons Hotel both with and without functions in the ballrooms.
Under typical operating conditions, completion of the proposed expansion, full occupancy and no
functions in the ballrooms, a parking rate of 0.703 was established for the Four Seasons Hotel.
As shown in Table 12,for typical daily operations at the hotel with the proposed expansion and no
function in the ballrooms, there would be a need for 299 parking spaces. As stated earlier in this
study there is a total of 408 parking spaces available to the Four Seasons Hotel, specifically 375
parking spaces available in the on-site parking structure. Based upon the number of parking spaces
.needed under a typical operating day at the hotel and utilizing only the on-site parking structure,
there would be a parking surplus of 76 spaces.
In order to obtain the number of parking spaces required at full occupancy of the hotel with functions
in,the ballrooms, a count was�conducted in January 1998 that reflected a function in the ballroom.
As shown,in Table 12, a parking rate of 1.18 was utilized to determine parking conditions after the
proposed expansion and also includes functions in the ballrooms.
Projected Traf c for Vacancies and the Four Seasons Hotel ftan ion
In order to obtain a 100 percent occupancy,rate at the hotel and reflect functions.in the ballrooms,
the parking rate established earlier of 1.18 was applied to the vacant rooms in the hotel along with
the proposed hotel expansion (140 rooms).. Table 11 which was presented earlier in this study
shows a total of 192 spaces would be required for,the vacant hotel rooms and the proposed
expansion.
The total number of parking spaces available for the Four Seasons Hotel, after the expansion,would
be 408 parking spaces; and as shown in Table 11,the Four Seasons Hotel would require a total of
501 parking spaces. There would be an on-site parking deficit of 93 parking spaces. These data are

based upon functions in the ballroom, a 100 percent occupancy rate and the proposed hotel
expansion.
In order to determine whether there would be adequate parking available off-site within Block 600
for the overflow parking from the Four Seasons Hotel at peak operations,additional parking analyses
of the area was conducted. The remaining uses within Block 600 were analyzed at full operations
with no vacancies in the office land uses.
The occupancy rate during the time of the counts for the office land uses was 95 percent; therefore,
based upon this information the City Parking Code was applied to the vacant square footage in each
of the office buildings. Shown in Table 13 are the required number of parking spaces for the
vacancies in each office building. It should be noted that,it was assumed that the health club.and
restaurant uses within Block 600 were at"normal'operating conditions-during the counts and no
additional parking spaces were added for these two uses. Table 13 indicates that the vacancies with
the office land uses would require 103 parking spaces.
Table 14 summarizes the parking for Block 600 based upon existing counts,estimated'parking needs
for the office vacancies, existing count data of the Four Seasons Hotel Parking and estimates for
vacancies and the proposed expansion of the hotel. As shown in Table 14 a total of 2,347 parking
spaces are needed. Table 8 indicates that the proposed,number of parking spaces for Block 600 is
3,153 parking spaces.After all the uses are served,including the proposed expansion and activities
in the ballroom at the Four Seasons Hotel,there would be a parking surplus of 806 parking spaces.
SUMMARY
This study has examined the traffic factors related to the proposed Four Seasons Hotel expansion
project located within the City of Newport Beach. Estimates have been made of traffic to be
generated by the expansion and the ability of the road system to accommodate the added traffic for

both the near term and City Buildout conditions. These analyses were completed to.conform to the
requirements of the City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance. In addition,parking was-also examined.
The following are the principal findings of the study.
1. The proposed expansion is estimated to generate 1,160 daily trip ends of which 80
(55 In,25 Out)would occur during the AM peak hour and 90(40 In, 50 Out)would
occur during the PM peak hour.
2. After discussion with City Traffic Engineering Staff, a total of ten (10) study
intersections were examined. Of these, only two of the study intersections,
Jamboree/San Joaquin Hills and MacArthur/San Joaquin Hills, exceeded the
maximum one percent on at least one approach.
3. ICU analyses were completed for theses two study intersections under near term and
Long Range General Plan conditions.
- Under near term conditions, both the study intersections of Jamboree/San
Joaquin Hills and Mac Arthur/San Joaquin Hills would operate at acceptable
Levels of Service during the AM and PM peak hours.
Under Long Range General Plan conditions, all of the study intersections
were examined both with and without the project. The three study
intersections of Coast HwyBayside, MacArthur/Jamboree and
Jamboree/Bristol N. would operate at unacceptable Levels of Service under
conditions without the project. When the project was added there was no
change in the ICU values at these three study intersections which indicate the
project did not have a significant impact.

No off-site mitigation measures would be needed under the TPO guidelines under
either the near term conditions or the Long Range General Plan conditions,
4. Existing and proposed parking demands were analyzed. Based upon the City code
requirements for the existing and proposed land uses and the total parking provided
within"Block 600",there would be a parking surplus of 79 parking spaces.
5. Parking,rates which depict typical daily operations at the hotel which were
established by existing count data and room occupancy data, without a function in
the ballroom and after completion,of the proposed project,there would be adequate
parking on-site.
6. Based upon parking rates, which were established by existing count data, room
occupancy data and a function in the ballroom, and after completion of the project
there would be an on-site parking shortage of 93 parking spaces. However,.there
would be more than 806 parking spaces available within Block 600 to handle the
parking deficit.

DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency.)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ❑
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the
mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the
project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. 0
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. ❑
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the
environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an
earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been
addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as
described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially significantimpact"
or"potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain
to be addressed. ❑
I find that although,the proposed project could have a significant effect
on the environment, there WILL NOT be a:significant effect in this case because
all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed-adequately in an earlier
EIR pursuant to applicable standards and(b) have been avoided or mitigated
pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revision&or mitigation measures that are
imposed upon the proposed project. ❑

Four Seasons Hotel Addition, Newport Center
690 Newport Center Drive
General Plan Amendment No. 97-3(d),
Traffic Study& Parking Study No. 14 and Use Permit No. 3631
Protect Description
The project involves the approval of a General Plan Amendment, a Traffic &
Parking Study,and a Use Permit. The General Plan Amendment will allow for a
total maximum limit of 425 hotel rooms designated in Block'600 of Newport Center
whereas the current limit is 325 hotel rooms. The proposed site is a part of an
existing hotel which is located on the northeasterly corner of Newport Center Drive
and Santa Cruz Drive within Block 600 of Newport Center (see Exhibits 1 and 2;
Regional Location Map and Project Vicinity). Currently the site (Four Seasons
Hotel area) is developed with a 285-room'hotel facility with ancillary uses including
meeting rooms, ballroom and banquet facilities. The site Is surrounded by
professional office buildings, financial institutions and Fashion Island retail
commercial (see Exhibit 3; Surrounding Land Uses). The proposed project will
involve construction of an additional 142,500 sq. ft., which Includes a 102-room,
sixteen story tower addition with additional ancillary uses consisting of a 9,200 sq.
ft. ballroom (600 seats), six meeting rooms totaling 3,800 sq. ft. with adjacent
gardens and pool facility for outdoor functions, and consolidation (demolition of
existing tennis courts and a portion of the existing health club) and expansion of the
health dub/spa facilities (including masuesse services). Architectural treatment will
be compatible to that of the existing hotel tower and complex. This new addition is
located to the north and east of the existing facilities, on an existing vacant parcel,
which has long been planned, for hotel expansion purposes. The project site
encompasses approximately 7.2 acres. The project plans and site photo exhibits are
presented in Appendix A of this document.

Surrounding Land Uses
The proposed site is pan of an existing hotel (Four Seasons Hotel) located on the
northeasterly comer of Newport Center Drive and Santa Cruz Drive within Block
600 of Newport Center. As described previously, currently the site is developed
with a 285400m hotel facility with ancillary uses, and includes a vacant parcel
long planned for the Four Seasons Hotel expansion area. The site is surrounded
by professional office buildings, financial institutions and Fashion Island retail
commercial on Newport Center Drive and Santa Cruz Drive within Block 600 of
Newport Center (Exhibit 3 depicts surrounding land uses). The new addition is
to be located to the north and east of the existing hotel facilities on the existing
vacant parcel.
The City's General Plan Land Use Plan designation for the site is Administrative.
Professional & Financial Commercial which includes hotel use. The site is
further designated within the General Plan Land Use Element as Newport Center
(Statistical Area L.)Block 600-Financial Plaza. Under the current General Plan
Land Use provisions, the Block 600 designated area is limited to 325 hotel rooms.
Therefore, the proposed expansion by 102 hotel rooms for a total of 387 hotel
rooms (285 rooms existing on-site, plus 102 rooms per the project plans
presented
in Appendix A), requires a General Plan Amendment. Although, the project plans
(Appendix A) identifies 102' hotel rooms, the General Plan Amendment would
allow an increase from the current designation of 325 hotel rooms to a total
maximum limit of 425 hotel rooms for Block 600.
The City's Zoning Code designation for the site is Administrative, Professional &
Financial Commercial (APF) District which also permits hotel use. This project
is located outside the Coastal,Zone Boundary and therefore a Coastal Permit is not
required.
The project has the potential to result in impacts related to demolition and
construction activities (e.g., dust, noise, and traffic). Additionally, Block 600
businesses nearby the site will be exposed to views of the demolition and
construction of the additional hotel facilities. Through anticipated conditions of
approval and mitigation measures, short and long-term impacts to surrounding
and adjacent properties from the P g
J P proposed
P hotel addition w'P P n will be eliminated or
minimized.
Potential short-term and long-term impacts which will be minimized through
mitigation measures include an increase in local traffic, alteration of views from
surrounding business properties and structures due to the orientation of the new
hotel structure, and a potential for increased food-related odors from hotel food
services. These potential short=term and long-term impacts are discussed with
recommended mitigation measures in the following sections of this document.
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Page 2
/INL
II. Population and Housing
The proposed project is an addition to an existing hotel. The hotel and ancillary
uses are projected to increase hotel employment from an existing 520 to a total of
595 employees (an addition of 75 employees). However, no direct population
increase would result from the project or the increase in employees.
While the proposed project will include a minor increase in employment, which
could generate an incremental increase in the demand for housing, this increase is
not considered significant.
III. Geologic Problems (Earth)
Geology has been previously addressed for the Four Seasons Hotel site in the
Final Program EIR for the City of Newport Beach General Plan and in Final
EIR/GPA 82-2 (pages 37-41). These documents are hereby incorporated by
reference consistent with Section 15150 of the CEQA Guidelines and are on file
and available for review at the Planning Department, City of Newport Beach.
A geotechnical investigation for the existing Four Seasons Hotel was conducted
by LeRoy Crandall and Associates (Law/Crandall Engineering and Environmental
Services) and presented in a report dated April 12, 1984.
The findings and recommendations of the geotechnical investigation report dated
April 12, 1984 have been reviewed in relation to the project plans for the
proposed hotel addition. The geotechnical findings and recommendations
reported April 12, 1984 remain suitable for the planning phase of the hotel
addition (Law/Crandall Engineering and Environmental Services letter dated
April 2, 1998). The April 2, 1998 evaluation recommends that a geotechnical
investigation be conducted prior to final design of the project. The April 12, 1984
geotechnical investigation and the April 2, 1998 report are on file and available
for review at the Planning Department, City of Newport Beach. These documents
are incorporated by reference herein consistent with Section 15150 of the CEQA
Guidelines.
The Final EIR/GPA 82-2 (page 37-41) includes a complete discussion of existing
conditions, impacts and City policy and requirements pertaining to geology and
soils. The topography of the site is relatively flat. The site is not located in an area
of unique geologic or physical features. There are no evident faults on the site. The
closest known active or potentially active fault is the Newport-Inglewood fault
(approximately four miles from the project site).
As this site has long been planned for hotel expansion purposes, the existing
surface parking and vacant turf area on the north of the site will be altered to
accommodate the proposed on-site improvement. The property was originally
graded in conjunction with the development of the existing hotel complex.
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Page 3
Although the project site is relatively flat, precise grading will be required and it's
anticipated that the project will require 2,200 cubic yards of export earthwork.
The excess earthwork will be exported to a site located near the intersection of
Irvine Center Drive and Sand Canyon Avenue in the City of Irvine. It is
anticipated that a total of 158 truckloads (14 c.y. per double trailer rig trucks) will
be necessary to export the 2,200 cubic yards of earthwork. A mitigation measure
is presented requiring consultation with the City of Irvine for the exportation of
earthwork (e.g. haul route) to the disposal site located in Irvine. It is anticipated
that the haul route will proceed from the hotel site to San Joaquin Hills Road to
MacArthur Boulevard, to University Drive/Jeffrey Road to Irvine Center Drive
and then to Sand Canyon Avenue.
Potential impacts to surrounding properties from erosion of the exposed soils
during grading operations will be minimized through conditions of approval
and/or mitigation measures. Stockpiling of excavated earth will contribute to
impacts resulting in erosion and the generation of dust. Dust generated by
grading activities is considered a short-term impact on air quality and is further
discussed in Section V (Air Quality) of this analysis.
Soil contamination is discussed under Hazards.(Section IX). Compliance with the
City Excavation and Grading Code (NBMC Sec.15.04) will reduce any potential
impacts to an insignificant level. No cumulative impacts associated with
geological conditions are anticipated as a result of the hotel addition.
_Mitigation Measure No 1 Prior to commencing grading activities, the applicant shall
consult with the City oflrvine and City of Newport Beach regarding the exportation
of earthwork to a disposal site located in Irvine. The applicant shall consult with
the City of Irvine so that a mutually acceptable agreement is developed regarding
the haul route and truck hauling operations. Evidence of said agreement shall be
submitted to the City of Newport Beach prior to commencing site grading activities.
Mitigation Measure No. 2 During construction activities, the project will comply with
the erosion and siltation control'measures of the City's grading ordinance and all
applicable local and'State building codes and seismic design guidelines, including
the City Excavation and Grading Code (NBMC Section 15.04 or applicable
sections).
Mitigation Measure No 3 Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall
submit a comprehensive geotechnical investigation to the Planning and Building
Department for review and approval.

IV. Water
Water resources have been previously addressed in the Final Program EIR for the
City of Newport Beach General Plan and in Final EIR/GPA 82-2 (pages 41-44).
These documents are hereby incorporated by reference consistent with Section
15150 of the CEQA Guidelines and are on file and available for review at the
Planning Department, City of Newport Beach.
The proposed site is largely developed, and the proposed improvements would not
substantially increase water runoff. The project is located outside of all flood
hazard areas; therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated. Subject to the
incorporation of City standard conditions of approval and/or mitigation measures,
no cumulative impacts associated with hydrologic conditions are anticipated as a
result of the hotel addition. Provisions for drainage requirements are contained in
the City Excavation and Grading Code. To ensure that storm runoff will not
significantly impact the existing drainage system, a mitigation measure is
presented. Compliance with said Code will reduce any potential impacts to an
insignificant level.
Mitigation Measure No 4 The project shall conform to the requirements of the
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and shall be subject to
the approval of the Public Works Department to determine compliance.
V. Air Quality
Regional and local air quality has been previously addressed in the Final Program
EIR for the City of Newport Beach General Plan and in Final EIR/GPA 82-2
(pages 102-106). These documents are hereby incorporated by reference
consistent with Section 15150 of the CEQA Guidelines and are on file and
available for review at the Planning Department, City of Newport Beach.
The project site is located in the South Coast Air Basin: The South Coast Air
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) sets and enforces regulations for
stationary sources in the basin. The California Air Resources Board is responsible
for controlling motor vehicle emissions. The SCAQMD in coordination with the
Southern California Association of Governments has developed the Air Quality
Management Plan (AQMP) for the air basin. The AQMP goals include the
implementation of technological and innovative changes that provide for
achieving clean air goals while maintaining a healthy economy. The AQMP also
addresses state and federal planning requirements and programs.
Potential air quality impacts to surrounding business properties from project
construction activities will be minimized through mitigation measures, including
short-term impacts to air quality from air pollutants being emitted by construction
equipment and dust generated during grading. The small amount of project-
related emissions will have no impact on regional particulate levels. Where
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Page 5
105
grading is near existing development, the dust generated by such activities is a
local nuisance as opposed to an actual health hazard. However, dust will be
minimized as a result of site watering required by City and SCAQMD regulations.
Potential ai' quality impacts to surrounding business properties from hotel
operations (including an incremental increase in emissions and odors associated
with food preparation) will be minimized by incorporation of design features such
as carbon filtration system of mechanical exhaust devices (cooking odors),
therefore, these effects are not considered significant, Additional potential long-
term air quality impacts associated with the proposed project include those
associated with vehicular emissions. A traffic study(dated April 9, 1998 prepared
by WPA Traffic engineering, Inc.) has been prepared for the project and is
discussed in Section VI (Transportation/Circulation/Parking). The traffic study
identified that the project is estimated to generate 1,160 daily vehicle trips. The
findings of the traffic study concluded that the proposed project will not result in
significant impacts to transportation/circulation and parking.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District CEQA Air Quality Handbook
(Table 6-2 & 6-3) provides screening tables which identify projects (based on
size) of potential significance for air quality. The screening tables indicate that
the proposed project (as a result of the size of project) does not have the potential
to exceed the emission thresholds of significance for air quality (for project
construction and project(hotel) operations).
With the implementation of the recommended mitigation measures, it is
anticipated that-the project will not result in a significant impacts to air quality.
Mitigation Measure No 5 The project design shall include adequate hood equipment
with smoke and odor control capabilities to serve the facility. Additionally, the
hood system shall include a charcoal filtering system for the control of odors and a
grease collection system for the capture/removal ofgrease accumulation. The hood
system shall be subject to review and approval by the Building Department and the
Planning Director.
Mitigation Measure No 6 During construction activities, the applicant shall ensure
that the following measures are complied with to reduce short-term (construction)
air quality impacts associated with the project: a) controlling fugitive dust by
regular watering, or other dust,palliative measures to meet South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 403; b) maintaining equipment engines in
proper tune; and c) phasing and scheduling construction activities to minimize
project-related emissions.
Mitigation Measure No 7 During construction activities, the applicant shall ensure
that the project will comply with SCAQMD Rule 402, to reduce nuisance due to
odors from construction activities.

VI. Transportation/Circulation/Parking
A traffic and parking study have been prepared for the proposed project by WPA
Engineering, Inc. and are available for review at the Planning Department, City of
Newport Beach. These studies are herein incorporated by reference consistent with
Section 15150 of the CEQA Guidelines.
The traffic report includes an analysis of existing traffic conditions and future
conditions with and without development of the proposed project. The parking
study includes a complete analysis of existing parking demand as well as projected
parking demand with development of the project.
The Four Seasons Hotel is located on the northeasterly comer of Newport Center
Drive and Santa Cruz Drive, which is known as Block 600 of Newport Center.
Exhibit 4 illustrates the location of the project site in relationship to the surrounding
street system. The following describes information presented in the traffic report
and parking study prepared by WPA Engineering, Inc.
Traffic Impact Analyses
a. Site Access '
Site access will remain the same as that which currently exists. Access to the
hotel is provided off of Santa Cruz Drive. Additional secondary access points to
the hotel are provided from Center Drive. A pedestrian walkway area is also
provided at Center Drive.
b. Trip Generation
A trip generation rate comparison between ITE (Institute of Transportation
Engineers) rates, rates based on existing traffic counts and rates utilized in the
original Four Seasons Hotel study are shown in Table 1. Table 2 identifies that the
proposed project is estimated to generate 1,160 daily trip ends of which 80 would
occur during the AM peak hour and 90 would occur during the PM peak hour.
C. Trip Distribution
Project distribution percentages were developed based upon previously completed
and accepted distributions in the area, the location of the trip attractors, type of
land use, proximity of freeways, and the surrounding street system. The project
generated trip ends were then assigned to the road system based on these
distribution percentages and the proposed project accesses. Exhibit 5 illustrates
the trip distribution percentages in relation to the road system.

d. Traffic Intersection Analyses
Intersection analyses were completed for the following ten (10) study
intersections identified by the City Traffic Engineer:
1. Bristol Street North&Jamboree Rd.
2. Bristol Street&Jamboree Rd.
3. Coast Highway& Dover Drive-Bayshore Dr.
4. Coast Highway& Bayside Dr.
5. Coast Highway&Jamboree Rd.
6. Jamboree Rd. & San Joaquin Hills Rd.
7. Jamboree Rd. &Ford-Eastbluff Dr.
8. Jamboree Rd. &MacArthur Blvd.
9. MacArthur Blvd. &San Joaquin Hills Rd.
10. MacArthur Blvd. &Ford'Rd.
The 'fine Percent Traffic Volume Analysis"which is part of the City of Newport
Beach Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) was utilized for each of the study
intersections. If project generated traffic is greater than one percent of the
combined total of existing, regional growth and committed project traffic on any
approach to any of the selected intersections, then additional analyses are required
which consists of Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) analyses.
The proposed project peak 2.5 hour volumes (which are double the peak hour
volumes) for the AM and PM were distributed onto the street system, and these
trips were added to the 'tine Percent Traffic Volume Analysis': The criteria
established by the City of Newport Beach requires that any intersection where the
project traffic during the 2.5 hour peak exceeds one percent of existing plus
regional growth plus approved project traffic must be analyzed in detail. Table 3
indicates that two of the ten study intersections exceed the maximum one percent
on at least one approach and therefore are subject to the ICU analyses.
The two study intersections of Jamboree Rd. & San Joaquin Hills Rd. and
MacArthur &,San Joaquin Hills Rd, were further analyzed to determine potential
impacts. Table 4 indicates that the two study intersections 'of Jamboree/San
Joaquin Hills and MacArthur/San Joaquin Hills would operate at acceptable
Levels of Service, with the existing geometrics, during both the AM and PM peak
hours under the TPO guidelines for conditions with the project.
Projects may be approved when the ICU value for an intersection will not exceed
0.90 or the ICU value does not change when the project is added. As established
by the TPO the basis for the comparison includes existing traffic, regional growth
and approved/committed project traffic.

e. Future Traffic Conditions (Long Range General Plan)
Table 1 (previously presented) lists the trip generation rates utilized for Hotel land
uses. These rates were applied to the number of rooms allowed per the current
General Plah designation. The City's General Plan allows a maximum limit of
325 hotel rooms for Block 600. The proposed General Plan Amendment would
increase the maximum limit from 325 hotel rooms to a maximum of 425 hotel
rooms. Table 1 identifies that with development of the hotel expansion
(increasing the maximum limit to 425 hotel rooms) there was a net increase under
Long Range General Plan conditions of 870 daily trips ends of which 67 would
occur during the AM peak hour and 76 would occur during the PM peak hour.
Exhibit 6 identifies the daily traffic volumes on the road system within the
vicinity of the project site under Long Range General Plan conditions without the
proposed project. Exhibit 7 illustrates the daily volumes under Long Range
General Plan conditions with the project. The volumes indicate that with the
proposed project expansion, daily volumes located on San Joaquin Hills between
Jamboree and Santa Cruz Drive and on San Miguel Drive between Newport
Center Drive and MacArthur Boulevard would have a slight increase, while the
daily volumes on all other road segments remain unchanged. The road segments
on San Joaquin Hills and San Miguel Drive would provide direct access to the
project site and a slight change in daily volumes would be expected. Exhibit 7
identifies that all other road segments remain unchanged which indicates that
based on a General Plan overview of the area, the proposed project has an
insignificant impact on the surrounding street system. This is further verified by
the specific analyses of intersection operations.
Intersection analyses under the Long Range General Plan conditions without the
project were also conducted at each of the study intersections. Table 5 identifies
that all of the study intersections would operate at an acceptable Level of Service
except for the study intersections of Coast HighwayBayside,
MacArthur/Jamboree and Jamboree/Bristol (North).
The study intersections were analyzed under Long Range General Plan conditions
with the project. Table 5 shows that the same three study intersections of Coast
HighwayBayside, MacArthur/Jamboree and Jamboree/Bristol (North) continue
to operate at unacceptable Levels of Service. An ICU comparison of conditions
with and without the project indicates that there is no increase in the ICU values at
these three study intersections.
The traffic report prepared by WPA Traffic Engineering, Inc. concludes that the
proposed project (General Plan Amendment increase from 325 hotel rooms to 425
hotel rooms) will not result in a significant impact to transportation and
circulation. Therefore, no mitigation measures are required.

Parking
The total parking provided within Block 600 is 3,161 parking spaces which
provides parking for the addresses of 600, 610, 620, 630, 660 Newport Center
Drive, the Twin Palms Restaurant and the Four Seasons Hotel. Although the Four
Seasons Hotel has on-site parking facilities, at times there is a need for overflow
parking off-site. In order to determine whether there is a parking surplus for the
overflow parking from the Four Seasons Hotel, the entire Block 600 was analyzed
with the assumption that all of the land uses within Block 600 would be fully
occupied.
a. Existing Parking
Parking for the land uses within Block 600 are provided via two parking
structures and six surface parking lots (see Exhibit 8). The Four Seasons Hotel
has a separate parking structure and parking in front of the hotel which serves
only the guests at the hotel along with adjacent surface lots. The total number of
parking spaces available specifically for the Four Seasons Hotel, after the
proposed hotel expansion, would be 408 parking spaces, as shown in Table 6.
With the expansion of the hotel, a total of 14 parking spaces will be displaced.
Table 6 also indicates the total number of parking spaces available within Block
600 Newport Center Drive both before (3,167 parking spaces) and after (3,153
parking spaces) the expansion of the hotel.
b. Parking Demand(Based upon City Code)
The entire Block 600 of Newport Center Drive was included in the ,parking
analyses to determine existing parking demands. The City of Newport Beach
parking codes, existing parking covenants and a parking study prepared for the
Twin Palms Restaurant (dated April, 1995 prepared by Linscott, Law &
Greenspan, Engineers) in the area were referenced to obtain parking requirements
for the land uses within Block 600. Table 7 lists the total number of parking
spaces required for the Health Club, office buildings, restaurant, existing hotel and
the hotel expansion. As shown in Table 7 based upon City code, all the land uses
within Block 600 would require a total of 3,074 parking spaces.
Following completion of the proposed hotel expansion (e.g. a maximum limit of
425 hotel rooms for Block 600) there would be a total of 3,153 parking spaces
available. With a parking demand, based upon City code, for the entire Block 600
of Newport Center Drive of 3,074, there would be a parking surplus of 79 parking
spaces.

C. Parking Demand (Based upon Parking Counts)
Parking counts were conducted for Block 600 in August, 1997 and are shown in
Table 8. As shown in Table 8, the peak parking period occurred on Monday
(8/11/97) at•11:00 AM with a total of 1,874 parked vehicles. It should be noted
that at the time of these counts, the occupancy rate for the office land uses was 95
percent. Conditions at the Four Seasons Hotel included 262 rooms that were
occupied at the time of the count and no activity in the ballrooms.
In order to account for full operations at the Four Seasons Hotel, an additional
count was conducted in January 1998 when there was a function in the ballroom.
Table 9 shows the Four Seasons Hotel parking count to include the following; 267
parked vehicles in the on-site parking structure which is valet; 31 ,parked vehicles
in adjacent Surface Lots (one is located behind the on-site parking structure (15)
and the other located in back of the Twin Palms Restaurant (16) and 11 parked
vehicles in the front court yard for a total of 309 parked vehicles.. As stated
earlier, at the time of the count a total of 262 rooms were occupied of the 285
rooms available. ,
Parking rates were established specifically for the Four Seasons Hotel, based upon
the most recent count data and counts conducted earlier at the Four Seasons Hotel.
Under typical operating conditions, completion of the proposed expansion, full
occupancy and no functions in the ballrooms, a parking rate of 0.703 was
established for the Four Seasons Hotel. In order to obtain the number of parking
spaces required at full occupancy of the hotel with functions in the ballrooms, a
count was conducted in January 1998 that reflected a function in the ballroom. A
parking rate of 1.18 was utilized to determine parking conditions after the
proposed expansion and also includes functions in the ballrooms.
For typical daily operations at the hotel with the proposed expansion and no
function in the ballrooms, there would be a need for 299 parking spaces. There
are a total of 408 parking spaces available to the Four Seasons Hotel after the
expansion, with 375 parking spaces available in the on-site parking structure.
Based upon the number of parking spaces needed under a typical operating day at
the hotel and utilizing only the on-site parking structure, there would be a parking
surplus of 76 spaces.
d. Projected Traffic for Vacancies & the Four Seasons Hotel Addition
In order to obtain a 100 percent occupancy rate at the hotel and reflect functions in
the ballrooms, the parking rate established earlier of 1.18 was applied to the
vacant rooms in the hotel along with the proposed hotel expansion (140 rooms).
Table 9 shown previously, identifies that a total of 192 spaces would be required
for the vacant hotel rooms and the proposed expansion.

a 6 a
The total number of parking spaces available for the Four Seasons Hotel, after the
expansion, would be 408 parking spaces; and as shown in Table 9, the Four
Seasons Hotel would require a total of 501 parking spaces. There would be an on-
site parking deficit of 93 parking spaces. These data are based upon functions in
the ballroom, a 100 percent occupancy rate and the proposed hotel expansion.
In order to determine whether there would be adequate parking available off-site
within Block 600 for the overflow parking from the Four Seasons Hotel at peak
operations; additional parking analyses of the area was conducted. The remaining
uses within Block 600 were analyzed at full operations with no vacancies in the
office land uses.
The occupancy rate during the time of the counts for the office land uses was 95
percent; therefore, based upon this information the City Parking Code was applied
to the vacant square footage in each of the office buildings. The vacancies with
the office land uses would require 103 parking spaces.
Table 10 summarizes the parking for Block 600 based upon existing counts,
estimated parking needs for the office vacancies, existing count data of the Four
Seasons Hotel Parking and estimates for vacancies and the proposed expansion of
the hotel. As shown in Table 10, a total of 2,347 parking spaces are needed. Table
6 (previously presented) indicates that the proposed number of parking spaces for
Block 600 is 3,153 parking spaces. After all the uses are served, including the
proposed expansion and activities in the ballroom at the Four Seasons Hotel, there
would be a parking surplus of 806 parking spaces.
The parking study prepared by WPA Traffic Engineering, Inc. concluded that
there is sufficient parking supply within the Block 600 to serve the existing
businesses and proposed land uses (including the hotel addition),
VII. Biological Resources (Plant and.Animal Life)
Biological resources have been previously analyzed in the City's General Plan EIR
and Final EIR/GPA 82-2 (Page 47-49). These documents are hereby incorporated
by reference consistent with Section 15150 of the CEQA Guidelines and are on
file and available for review at the Planning Department, City of Newport Beach.
The site is vacant and located in an urbanized area of the City. No rare, endangered,
or threatened plan or animal species have been previously reported, or are expected
to inhabit the project site. The project will not affect any natural vegetation.
The project site is near fully developed and has been developed for more than 15
years. Surrounding properties are also fully developed. On-site flora consists of
ornamental landscaping, with no natural or native communities of vegetation
remaining. Due to the highly developed nature of the subject property and

surrounding properties, on-site fauna is limited to small rodents and/or mammals
adaptive to an urbanized area.
Therefore, the project will not result in a significant impact to plant and/or animal
life.
VIII. Energy and Mineral Natural Resources
Energy and mineral natural resources have been previously addressed for the Four
Seasons Hotel site in the Final Program EIR for, the City of Newport Beach
General Plan and in Final EIR/GPA 82-2 (pages 106-109). These documents are
hereby incorporated by reference consistent with Section 15150 of the CEQA
Guidelines and are on file and available for review at the Planning Department,
City of Newport Beach.
The project site is near fully developed and has been developed for more than 15'
years. Surrounding properties are also fully developed. The use of natural
resources will not be significantly affected by this project. No significant increase
in the use of energy or natural resources is anticipated.
IX. Hazards
The proposed use is an addition to an existing hotel operation. Therefore, no
foreseeable hazard to public health and safety is anticipated. The proposed project
will not utilize hazardous materials on the site, therefore, no adverse effect on
human health or risk of upset is anticipated.
X. Noise
Noise has been previously addressed for the Four Seasons Hotel site in the Final
Program EIR for the City of Newport Beach General Plan and in Final EIR/GPA
82-2 (pages 95-102). These documents are hereby incorporated by reference
consistent with Section 15150 of the CEQA Guidelines and are on file and
available for review at the Planning Department, City of Newport Beach.
Construction noise represents a short-term impact on ambient noise levels. Noise
generated by construction equipment, including trucks, graders, bulldozers,
concrete mixers and portable generators can reach high levels. However,
intervening structures and/or topography will, act as noise barriers and reduce
levels further. Noise levels will be further mitigated by limiting the hours of
construction through provisions contained in the City Noise Control Regulations
(NBMC Chapter 10.28).
The Big Canyon residential area to the north of the project site is the nearest noise
sensitive land use. However, the nearest homes are located a minimum of 500
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Page 13
feet from the proposed project and are separated from the site by intervening
structures and/or topography which will act as noise barriers. Therefore,
construction noise effects are not expected to be significant.
Operational Impact
Future on-site noise impacts will not significantly differ from those, which now
exist. The increase in traffic noise is not of a magnitude that would be discemable
to the average person. Traffic from the hotel addition, together with other planned
projects in the area will cumulatively cause an incremental increase in ambient
noise levels. However, with the incorporation of City standard conditions of
approval and/or mitigation measures, no cumulative impacts associated with hotel
operations to noise are anticipated as a result of the hotel addition.
Mitigation Measure No 8 The applicant shall ensure that the project will comply with
the provisions of the City of Newport Beach General Plan Noise Element and the
Municipal Code pertaining to noise restrictions. During construction activities, the
hours of construction and excavation work are allowed from 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
on weekdays and 8:00 a,m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and not at any time on
Sundays and holidays.
M. Public Services
Public services have been previously addressed for the Four Seasons Hotel site in
the Final Program EIR for the City of Newport Beach General Plan and in Final
EIR/GPA 82-2 (pages 109-114). These documents are hereby incorporated by
reference consistent with Section 15150 of the CEQA Guidelines and are on file
and available for review at the Planning Department, City of Newport Beach.
The project site is near fully developed and has been developed for more than 15
years. Surrounding properties are also fully developed. There are sufficient public
or governmental services that serve the area and the project would not create
additional demand for these services.
XII. Utilities and Service Systems
Utilities and service systems have been previously addressed for the Four Seasons
Hotel site in the Final Program EIR for the City of Newport Beach General Plan
and in Final EIR/GPA 82-2 (pages 109-114). These documents are hereby
incorporated by reference consistent with Section 15150 of the CEQA Guidelines
and are on file and available for review at the Planning Department, City of
Newport Beach.
The existing Four Seasons Hotel is already being serviced by utilities and service
systems. A survey was conducted to assess any possible changes on demand for
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Page 14
existing community services and public utility providers.currently serving the site.
Each appropriate agency was given a project description (overview), regional
location map, vicinity map, a preliminary plot plan of the proposed addition, and a
Service Availability/Capacity Information Request questionnaire designed to
determine any possible impacts on services. The agencies contacted and which
provide services to the site are:
Fire Protection City of Newport Beach Fire&Marine Department
Law Enforcement City of Newport Beach Police Department
Natural Gas The Gas Company
Electricity Southern California Edison Company
Telecommunications Pacific Bell
Water/Wastewater City of Newport Beach Utilities Department
Solid Waste Waste Management of Orange County
Transit System Orange County Transportation Authority
The survey and responses from these service providers are presented in Appendix
B of this document. The following information discusses the results of the
survey and potential impacts associated with the proposed project.
a. Fire Protection
Fire protection and emergency response services for the Four Seasons
Hotel are currently being provided by the City of Newport Beach Fire and
Marine Department. The City of Newport Beach Fire and Marine
Department will continue to provide fire protection and emergency
response services to the hotel site once the addition is complete. The
closest emergency response facility to the site is Station #3 located.at 868
Santa Barbara Drive and is approximately three-tenths (3/10) of a mile
from the subject site. Housed at the facility is the following equipment:
Engine 63, Truck 63, Medic 63, Ambulance 63, and Battalion 6. Five
other facilities are also available for emergency response service.
Response times to the site are dependent on various factors. Emergency
calls receive the quickest response times with alarm calls and non-
emergency calls having longer response times respectively. The
availability of personnel and extenuating circumstances may further affect
response times. It is anticipated that the hotel addition will increase the
number of calls for service to the location; however, no new facilities or
staff will be required.
Current emergency equipment and facilities at the project site must be
evaluated to ensure that the current facilities are adequate and serviceable
for the hotel addition. Items that need to be evaluated include, but are not
limited to, the following: the fire alarm panel, firefighter communication
equipment, fire pump, emergency generator, and on site water supply.

All fire protection must be designed as an integral part of the construction
process with all improvements and/or modernization of equipment
systems or devices identified and agreed upon by the City of Newport
Beach Fire and Marine Department prior to any construction approval.
b. Law Enforcement
Law enforcement services for the Four Seasons Hotel are currently being
provided by the City of Newport Beach Police Department. The City of
Newport Beach Police Department will continue to provide law
enforcement services to the hotel site once the addition is complete. The
City's police facility is located at 870 Santa Barbara Drive and is
approximately three-tenths (3/10) of a mile from the subject site.
Response times to the site are dependent on various factors. Emergency
calls receive the quickest response times with alarm calls and non-
emergency calls having longer response times respectively. The
availability of personnel and extenuating circumstances may further affect
response times. It is anticipated that the hotel addition will increase the
number of calls for service to the location; however, no new facilities or
staff will be required.
C. Natural Gas
The Gas Company currently provides the Four Seasons Hotel with natural
gas services. They will continue to provide the service once the addition
is complete. Their ability to meet any future demand is dependent on the
supply of natural gas and the policies of the California Public Utilities
Commission. There are no expected negative impacts from the hotel
addition and no new facilities or staff will be required.
To accommodate the hotel addition, one of their existing on-site facilities
may have to be altered. If this is determined to be the case (via detailed
plot plan and/or building plans), the applicant must enter into a collectible
work agreement with The Gas Company. Fees for this work will be
collected prior to work being performed.
d. Electricity
The Southern California Edison Company currently provides electricity to
the Four Seasons Hotel and will continue to provide this service once the
addition is complete. The transformer ormer currentlyserving
ng the hotel is at
approximately sixty percent 60% of capacity and it is. . P ( ) p tY anticipated that no
new facilities or staff wil
l be required.
ed. There are no ex
pected ected negative
impacts on electric service expected from the hotel addition.
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Page 16
e. Telecommunications
Pacific Bell currently provides telecommunications services to the Four
Seasons Hotel and expects to provide their services once the hotel addition
is complete. There are no expected negative impacts from the hotel
addition. Further, no new facilities or staff will be needed for the
continued service to the hotel.
f. Water and Wastewater
Water and wastewater services to the Four Seasons Hotel are currently
provided in the public right-of-way (Newport Center Drive and City
Easements) by the City of Newport Beach Utilities Department. It is the
opinion of the City of Newport Beach Utilities Department that there is
adequate capacity to serve the planned hotel addition. Additional
information via site plan and/or detailed building plans, including water
and sewer calculations for the hotel addition, will be required before the
City can determine any negative impacts from the addition, including
calculations showing the quantity of additional water and wastewater
demand expected as a result of the hotel addition. The points of
connection for all applicable Water and sewer lines will need to be
identified and agreed to by the City of Newport Beach Utilities
Department prior to any construction approval.
g. Solid Waste
The Four Seasons Hotel is currently being provided solid waste services
by Waste Management of Orange County. Waste Management of Orange
County will continue to provide solid waste disposal services to the hotel
once the addition is complete. They provide compactor trash disposal and
cardboard recycling services. The location of the facilities they service are
inside of the hotel's loading dock area. The only expected change is the
replacement of the current trash compactor to a smaller, more efficient
piece of equipment. This change is independent of the hotel addition.
Further, there are no expected negative impacts from the hotel addition,
and no new facilities or staff are anticipated.
h. Transit System
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) currently provides
public transportation services to and around'the site. They are expected to
continue their services once the hotel addition is complete. The OCTA
provides transit service to the project area along Newport Center Drive via
bus routes 1, 57 and'61. Bus route 61 also includes service along Santa
Cruz Road. The number of bus trips may increase in the future. A bus
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Page 17
r�-:z
stop is located on the outer ring of Newport Center Drive directly in front
of the project site. It is the belief of the OCTA that there is adequate
capacity available to service the site. The City of Newport Beach, is
currently developing a parking plan which may require the relocation of
bus stops; however, the hotel addition is not expected to negatively impact
OCTA services. Further, the addition is not expected to necessitate any
new facilities or staff.
Mitigation Measure No 9 Prior to the commencement of grading activities, the
applicant shall coordinate with utility and service organizations regarding any
construction activities to ensure existing facilities are protected and any
necessary expansion or relocation of facilities are planned and scheduled in
consultation with the appropriate public agencies.
XIII. Aesthetics
Aesthetics have been previously addressed for the Four Seasons Hotel site in the
Final Program EIR for the City of Newport Beach General Plan and in Final
EIR/GPA 82-2 (pages 58-66). These documents are hereby incorporated by
reference consistent with Section 15150 of the CEQA Guidelines and are on file
and available for review at the Planning Department, City of Newport Beach.
The project site is near fully developed and has been developed for more than 15
years, with the exception of an existing on-site vacant parcel historically planned
for hotel expansion use. Surrounding properties are also fully developed. Site
photos are presented in Appendix A of this document. The proposed addition
includes a new 16-story 170 foot tower to be located on the existing vacant parcel.
Applicable zoning code regulations for the site restrict the height to a maximum
of 375 feet. The new tower will be compatible with the existing 194 foot tower
(Four Seasons Hotel) in architectural style, finish and color. The height and bulk
of the new tower are sufficient that it will be visible from many locations within
and around the Newport Center area, and views north from Pacific Coast
Highway. Exhibits 9 and 10 illustrate the existing site conditions (existing
views/site photo) and a conditions with development of the proposed hotel
addition(views/site photo with simulation). The immediate vicinity of the project
site includes a number of existing towers (many over 15 stories) as shown in
Exhibit 9 and 10. The photo simulations demonstrate that the proposed hotel
tower does not represent a significant .alteration of the existing views of the
Newport Center.
The shadow cast by the new tower will be confined to the existing hotel tower and
immediately surrounding business,properties and structures. Exhibit 11 depicts
the longest shadow cast by the building at 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on December
21. December 21 azimuths are a "worst case" due to the extreme southerly
declination of the sun. Exhibit 12 depicts the longest shadow cast by the building

at 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on June 21. June 21 azimuths represent the shadow
cast during the extreme northerly declination of the sun.
As can be seen by the shade/shadow exhibits, the shadow cast by the new tower
will be confined to the existing hotel tower and immediately surrounding business
and Newport Center properties and structures,
Due to the highly developed nature of the subject property and surrounding
business properties, including existing multi-story high rise office buildings, the
aesthetic impacts associated with the new, tower addition is not considered a
significant impact. In addition, with the incorporation of the project's design,
signs, landscaping and other aesthetic features of the site, as well as the
application of City standard conditions of approval and/or mitigation measures,
any impacts will be reduced to.an insignificant level.
The proposed project will introduce additional lighting associated with the
operation of the building (security lighting, landscape lighting, etc.). The exterior
lighting will be visible, however, due to the high urbanized developed nature of
the immediate vicinity, potential impacts. of light and glare are not considered
significant. Additionally, to ensure that exterior lighting is designed such that
direct rays are confined to the site (to the greatest.extent feasible) a mitigation
measure is recommended to limit affects on the neighboring uses.
Mitigation Measure No. 10 Prior to the issuance of any building permit, the applicant
shall demonstrate to the Planning Department that the lighting system shall be
designed, directed, and maintained in such a manner as to conceal the light
source and to minimize light spillage and glare to the adjacent properties. The
plaits shall be prepared and signed by a licensed Electrical Engineer, with a letter
from the engineer stating that, in his opinion, this requirement has been met.
XIV. Cultural Resources
Cultural resources have been previously addressed for the Four Seasons Hotel site
in the Final Program EIR for the City of Newport Beach General Plan and in Final
EIR/GPA 82-2 (pages 44-47). These documents are hereby incorporated by
reference consistent with Section 15150 of the CEQA Guidelines and are on file
and available for review at the Planning Department, City of Newport Beach.
The project site is located in an area where archaeological and paleontological
resources have been discovered in the past and may potentially exist on this site.
Previous surveys (as documented in Final EIR/GPA 82-2) indicate that there are
no observable cultural resources on the property. One archeological site CA-Ora-
137 was recorded in Block 600 (in 1965), however, documentation indicates that
the site has been eradicated. No known paleontological resources exist onsite,
however, fossils (i.e. marine mammals, invertebrate fossils etc.) may potentially
exist under the surface. Therefore, the following mitigation measure is
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Page 19 q
1 �i U
recommended to ensure compliance with City Council Policies regarding
archaeological and paleontological surveys and recovery of resources.
Mitigation Measure No 11 Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall
demonstrate to the Planning Department that the project will comply with
Council Policies regarding archaeological and paleontological resource
investigation, surveillance and recovery.
Mitigation Measure No 12 A qualified archeologist shall be present during grading
activities to inspect the underlying soil for cultural resources. If significant
cultural resources are uncovered, the archeologist shall have the authority to stop
or temporarily divert construction activities for a period of 48 hours to assess the
significance of the find.
XV. Recreation
Due to the highly developed nature of the subject property and surrounding
properties, including existing multi-story high rise office and other
commercial/retail land uses and the visitor serving nature of the hotel addition, the
demand for additional neighborhood or regional parks is not anticipated.
Additionally, the project includes development of health club/spa facilities
(including masseuse services), gardens and pool facility that will provide on-site
recreational opportunities for the hotel. The quality and quantity of recreational
activities will not be impacted by the project.
CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Page 20 2 Q
XV1. Mandatory Findings of Significance
1. On the basis of the foregoing analysis; the proposed project does not have the
potential to significantly degrade the quality of the environment.
2. There are no long-term environmental goals that would be compromised by the
project.
3. No cumulative impacts are anticipated in connection with this or other projects.
4. That there are no known substantial adverse effects on human beings that would be
caused by the proposed project.

Received your fax dated December 9, 1997, regarding the expansion of the-Four
Seasons Hotel. It appears that a portion of our existing facilities may have.to be altered
near the trash enclosure.If the gas facilities indeed need to be altered, this would require
a collectible work agreement,with fee's collected prior to work being performed. When

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mr. Gil Villalobos, Southern California GasCompany
FROM: Kevin Culbertson
DATE: December 9, 1997
SUBJECT: Response to questions with the proposed Four Seasons Newport Center Hotel
Expansion
We have relayed your questions regarding the gas valve main(between the tennis courts and
the Twin Palms Restaurant, housed within the trash enclosure) to the project engineer and
have obtained the requested information. In short, the above grade gas main may require
some form of reconstruction and or relocation.
We are cognizant of the fact that this trash enclosure.and gas main will put certain restraints
on this project. The engineer has offered explanation of these restraints in terms of below
grade and above grade concerns. To enhance the responses to your question, I have
included a current plan illustrating the existing building and topography in the area with the
proposed building footprint superimposed.
With reference to the plan, note that the east wall of the proposed building addition is 20'
from the existing east property line (or roughly 6'from an existing 2"diameter underground
gas main). It is the opinion of the project engineer that the existing underground gas main
can be protected in place during construction and need not be relocated.
The above ground gas main however, may require some relocation/reconstruction. The
trash enclosure in which the gas main is currently housed will undergo some reconstruction
as a function of the site design due to the hotel addition. More specific information relative
to this detail will be generated as preliminary and final grading,plans progress. The projeci
engineers will consult with the Southern California Gas Company as the project progresses.
If you have any questions about the information furnished in this memo (and associated
plan), or any other aspect of this project, please give me a call at (714) 581-2888.

V, Southern California Gas Company Request for Additional
z Information
Dear Mr. Culbertson:
W In a memo dated November 24, 1997, Chris Harrison posed the following
question (as originally generated by Gas Company service representatives):
a
V Will the expansion impact the nearby gas valve/main housed in the
O trash receptacle enclosure, located between the tennis courts and
the Twin Palms Restaurant to the north? The Gas Co. needs to
cn know the direct boundary/footprint of the expansion to determine
Cn if it will have an impact on this gas valve/main.
Q I am furnishing herewith two prints of a plan illustrating the existing building
0 and topography in the area; superimposed on said plan is the building.footprint
Z of the proposed addition. With reference to the plan, note that the east wall of
Q the proposed building addition is 20' from the existing easterly property line (or
roughly 6' from an existing 2" diameter underground gas main). Based upon
this clearance, I am of the opinion that the existing underground gas main can
W be protected in place during construction and need not be relocated.
J Above-ground facilities, on the other hand, may require some relocation/
reconstruction. As mentioned above, the gas valve assembly is situated'in an
a existing trash enclosure. Said trash enclosure will undergo some reconstruction
J as a function of site redesign due to the proposed building addition; thus, the
valve assembly may require similar reconstruction or potential relocation. More
specific information relative to this detail will be generated as preliminary and
final grading plans progress.

SUBJECT: FOUR SEASONS HOTEL EXPANSION - Southern California Gas
Company Request for Additional Information
In response to our service letters request, Southern California Gas Company has contacted
us with some questions. In order for their representative to provide us with the data we
requested, he needs information in regards to two specific questions. The two questions
they have are as follows:
1. Will the hotel's expansion increase the amount of gas consumed on site? For
example, will there be new boilers, cooking apparatus, washers/dryers, etc. that will
increase the net gas consumption? And if so, what are the projected gas
consumption amounts?
2. Will the expansion impact the nearby gas valve/main housed in the trash receptacle
enclosure, located between the tennis courts and the Twin Palms Restaurant to the
north? The Gas Co. needs to know the direct boundary/footprint of the expansion
to determine if it will have an impact on this gas valve/main.
We need to provide this information to the Gas Company as quickly as possible. Please
contact me with any questions and/or comments at your earliest convenience so that we can
clarify these issues.

Re: Four Seasons Hotel Newport Center Addition
Dear Nlr. Culbertson:
This letter shall serve to inform you that under its present plans, Pacific Bell expects to be
in a position to provide telephone facilities as required for the above-referenced project in
accordance with the rates and charges specified in its tariffs on file with the California
Public Utilities Commission.
Pacific Bell offers a myriad of services within the project area on both fiber and copper
applications. Some questions were asked regarding the possible negative impact of this
project. I assure you that this project is one we welcome. The Planner and Route
Engineer for the area are aware of the project and will allocate the necessary facilities to
continue to provide the Four Seasons with service.
It is my understanding that the Route Engineer, Ken Lapham, sent substructure maps
detailing our facilities to the developer of this project.
As plans become more finite, I would like to consult with you and/or your representatives
to determine what Pacific Bell services will enhance this resort.
If you have any questions,please do not hesitate to call upon me.

Dear Mr. Culbertson:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with information regarding the City's water
and sewer systems for the subject development. The following are responses to your
request for information:
1. Water and Sewer services are provided in the public right-of-way (Newport Center
Drive and City Easements).
2. The attached City water and sewer atlas shows the location of these facilities.
3. The "available capacity" is dependent on several factors and difficult to define. We
believe thhat there is adequate capacity to seine the plan xted expansion. However,
the City requests that calculations be provided showing the additional water
demand and sewage generation for the hotel. In addition, the points of connection
will need to be defined.
4. No.
5. As stated in 3 above, additional information will be needed before the City can
determine any negative impacts.

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
Four Seasons Hotel Addition, Newport Center
690 Newport Center Drive
General Plan Amendment 97-3(d), Traffic & Parking Study No.114 and
Use Permit No. 3631
I. OVERVIEW
This mitigation monitoring program was prepared in compliance with Public Resources Code
Section 21081.6 (AB 3180 of 1988). It describes the requirements and procedures to be followed
by the applicant and the City to ensure that all mitigation measures adopted as part of this project
will be carried out. Attachment 1 summarizes the mitigation measures, implementing actions, and
verification procedures for this project.
II. MITIGATION MONITORING PROCEDURES
Mitigation measures can be implemented in three ways: (1) through project design, which is
verified by plan check and inspection; (2) through compliance with various codes, ordinances,
policies, standards, and conditions of approval which are satisfied prior to or during construction
and verified by plan check and /or inspection; and (3) through monitoring and reporting after
construction is completed. Compliance monitoring procedures for these three types of mitigation
measures are summarized below.
A. Mitigation measures implemented through project design:
Upon project approval, a copy of the approved project design will be placed in the official project
file. As part of the review process for all subsequent discretionary or ministerial permits, the file
will be checked to verify that the requested permit is in conformance with the approved project
design. Field inspections will verify that construction conforms to approved plans.
B. Mitigation measures implemented through compliance with codes, ordinances,
policies, standards, or conditions of approval:
Upon project approval, a copy of the approved project description and conditions of approval will
be placed in the official project file. As part of the review process for all subsequent discretionary
or ministerial permits, the file will be checked to verify that the requested permit is in compliance
with all applicable codes, ordinances, policies, standards and conditions of approval. Field
inspections will verify that construction conforms to applicable standards and conditions.
C. Mitigation measures implemented through post-construction monitoring:
If any mitigation measures require verification and reporting after construction is completed, the
City will maintain a log of these mitigation monitoring and reporting requirements, and will
review completed monitoring reports. Upon submittal, the City will approve the report, request
additional information, or pursue enforcement remedies in the event of noncompliance. Final
monitoring reports will be placed in the official file.

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL EXPANSION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Intersection analyses were completed for ten study intersections under near
term and long range General Plan conditions. The analyses of the study
intersections for the near term and long range General Plan conditions
indicated that the expansion of the Four Seasons Hotel would not have a
significant impact on the study intersections.
440 Parking conditions were also analyzed. Under typical operating conditions
at the hotel, which would include full occupancy with the proposed
expansion and no functions in the ballrooms, adequate parking is available
within the parking structure located on-site.
Under conditions where the hotel is at full occupancy,including the proposed
expansion,and functions taking place in the ballrooms, there would be an,on-
site parking shortage of 93 parking spaces; however approximately 806
parking spaces would be available within Block 600 to serve the 93 parking
spaces needed.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Four Seasons Hotel is located on the northeasterly corner of Newport Center Drive and Santa Cruz
Drive, which is known as Block 600 of Newport Center. The hotel is proposing-to add 140 guest
rooms to the existing 285 room hotel along with a 9,000 square foot ballroom usable for meetings
and other functions with a maximum occupancy of 600 persons. Valet parking would be available.
Vehicles would be parked on-site and overflow parking is available in a parking garage located at
630 Newport Center Drive.

Figure 1 illustrates the location of the site in relationship to the surrounding street system. It should
be noted that a current site plan is unavailable for inclusion in this study. It is estimated that the
proposed project will be completed by the beginning of the Year 2000.
TRIP GENERATION
In order to estimate the trips generated by the proposed uses, trip generation rates for a hotel land
use was referenced from Trip Generation'. In addition,counts were conducted at the existing Four
Seasons'Hotel on a Thursday(10-9-97) and a Friday(10-10-97)to determine trip generation rates
for the existing facility. The count data to determine 2.5 peak hour and peak hour rates for the
existing Four Seasons Hotel count be found in Appendix A. A trip generation rate comparison
between the ITE rates, rates based upon existing counts and rates utilized in the original Four
Seasons Hotel study is shown on Table 1. This comparison was conducted to determine the best
'rate to use for the proposed Four Seasons Hotel expansion. All of the rates shown in Table 1 were
based upon the number of guest rooms.
Based upon discussions with City Staff, the highest rates obtained through existing counts at the
Four Seasons Hotel,as shown in Table 1 in bold,would be utilized for the proposed project. These
rates would account for not only the proposed 140 rooms,but also the proposed 9,000 SF ballroom.
It should be noted that the trip generation estimates for hotel uses are generally based upon the
number of guest rooms and includes consideration of restaurant, retail and meeting/ballroom
facilities.
In order to establish a daily rate for the Four Seasons Hotel, 24-hour directional counts were
conducted at the main driveway to the hotel and the driveway located to the east of the Four Seasons
Hotel parking structure for four(4) days. Data was also collected regarding the number of rooms
which were occupied during the count. Based upon the number of rooms occupied and the 24-hour

count data, a daily trip generation rate was established for each of the four days counted. Table 1A
shows the average daily rate(8.28)of the four day period which was utilized in this study.
Table 2 summarizes the trip generation rates utilized in this study and trips generated for the
proposed project. As shown in Table 2, the proposed project is estimated to generate 1,160 daily
trip ends of which 80(55 In,25 Out)would occur during the AM peak hour and 90 (40 In, 50 Out)
would occur during the PM peak hour.
TRIP DISTRIBUTION
Project distribution percentages were developed based upon previously completed and accepted
distributions in the area, the location of the trip attractors,type of land use,proximity of freeways,
and the surrounding street system. Figure 2 illustrates the resulting distribution percentages which
have been previously approved by the City of Newport Beach Engineering Department. The project
generated trip ends were then assigned to the road system based on these distribution percentages
and the proposed project accesses.
TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSES
The City of Newport Beach Traffic Engineering Department was contacted to determine the
intersections that were to be included these analyses. There area total often(10)intersections which
were included in this study and they are listed in Table 3.
The "One Percent Traffic Volume Analysis"which is part of the City of Newport Beach Traffic
Phasing Ordinance(TPO) and provided to us by the City of Newport Beach was utilized for each
of the study intersections. If project generated traffic is greater than one percent of the combined
total of existing, regional growth and committed project traffic on any approach to any of the
selected intersections,then additional analyses are required which consists of Intersection Capacity
Utilization(ICU) analyses. Projects may be approved when the ICU value for an intersection will
not exceed 0.90 or the ICU value does not change when the project is added.

As established by the TPO the basis for the comparison includes existing traffic,regional growth and
approved/committed project traffic. A list of the committed projects is provided in Table 4. Since
the project is scheduled for completion in the Year 2000, the analyses were completed for the Year
2001 as required by the Ordinance.
The proposed project peak 2.5 hour volumes(which are double the peak hour volumes)for the AM
and PM were distributed onto the street system, and these trips were added to the "One Percent
Traffic Volume Analysis". Appendix B contains the data for the individual intersections and the
results are summarized in Table 5.
The criteria established by the City of Newport Beach requires that any intersection where the
project traffic during the 2.5 hour peak exceeds one percent of existing plus regional growth plus
approved project traffic must be analyzed in detail. Review of Table 5 indicates that two of the ten
study intersections exceed the maximum one percent on at least one approach and must be
considered critical and are subject to the ICU analyses.
The two study intersections of Jamboree Rd. & San Joaquin Hills Rd. and MacArthur & San
Joaquin Hills Rd. were further analyzed to determine potential impacts.
Utilizing the "Intersection Capacity Utilization Analysis"forms from the Traffic Phasing Ordinance
(TPO)procedure,ICU values were determined including traffic increases due to regional growth and
previously approved projects. The individual analysis sheets are contained in Appendix C and
summarized in Table 6.
Review of Table 6 indicates that the two study intersections of Jamboree/San Joaquin Hills and
MacArthur/San Joaquin Hills would operate at acceptable Levels of Service, with the existing
geometrics,during both the AM and PM peak hours under the TPO guidelines for conditions with
the project.

FUTURE CONDITIONS-LONG RAN E GEXERAL PLAN
Based upon information from the City of Newport Beach, a model run of the area utilizing the
NBTAM was conducted by Austin-Foust Associates, Inc. providing traffic daily forecast data on
road segments and peak hour data at the study intersections under Long Range General Plan Baseline
conditions both with and without the project.
Table 2 lists the trip generation rates utilized in the model for Hotel land uses. These rates were
applied to the current number of rooms in the model, 325 rooms,for the Four Seasons Hotel. After
the proposed expansion,the Four Seasons Hotel will have a total of425 rooms. As shown in Table
2,utilizing the trip generation rates found in the model there was a net increase under Long Range
General Plan conditions of 870 daily trips ends of which 67(40 In,27 Out)would occur during the
AM peak hour and 76(41 In, 35 Out)would occur during the PM peak hour.
Lagg Range Baseline Conditions Without the Project
A model run was performed under baseline conditions without the project. Figure 3 illustrates the
daily volumes on the road system within the vicinity of the proposed project under Long Range
General Plan conditions without the project.
Baseline intersection analyses under the Long Range General Plan conditions without the project
were also conducted at each of the study intersections. The ICU worksheets can be found in
Appendix C and summarized in Table 7.
As shown in Table 7,all of the study intersections would operate at an acceptable Level of Service
except for the study intersections of Coast HighwayBayside(0.92B-PM), MacArthur/Jamboree
(1.12/F-PM) and Jamboree/Bristol N. (1.01/F-AM, 1.02/F-PM).

It should be noted that information was obtained from the City of Newport Beach Traffic
Engineering Department regarding the geometrics at the study intersection of Jamboree/Eastbluff-
Ford. Currently the geometrics show a single eastbound right turn lane. Based upon information
from the City, there is going to be an eastbound free right turn lane which is a planned City
improvement to be completed within the next four years. The ICU sheets were revised to reflect the
change in the geometrics.
Long Range Baseline Conditions With the Project
The model distributed the net increase from the proposed project onto the street system and the
model run was completed under baseline conditions with the project. Figure 4 illustrates the daily
volumes under Long Range General Plan conditions with the project. The volumes indicate that
with the proposed project expansion,daily volumes located on San Joaquin Hills between Jamboree
and Santa Cruz Drive and on San Miguel Drive between Newport Center Drive and MacArthur
Boulevard would have a slight increase,while the daily volumes on all other road segments remain
unchanged. The road segments on San Joaquin Hills and San Miguel Drive would provide direct
access to the project site and a slight change in daily volumes would be expected. As Figure 4
illustrates, all other road segments remain unchanged which indicates that based on a General Plan
overview of the area, the proposed project has an insignificant impact on the surrounding street
system. This is further justified by the specific analyses of intersection operations.
The study intersections were analyzed under Long Range General Plan conditions with the project.
Table 7, which was presented earlier, shows that the same three study intersections of Coast
HighwayBayside (0.92/E-PM), MacArthur/Jamboree (1.12/F-PM) and Jamboree/Bristol N.
(1.01/17-AM, 1.02/F-PM)continue to operate at unacceptable Levels of Service. An ICU comparison
of conditions with and without the project indicates that there is no increase in the ICU values at
these three study intersections. Utilizing the City's guidelines,no mitigation measures are required.

PARKING
A parking study'has been completed of the existing parking facilities located within the 600 block
of Newport Center Drive in Newport Beach. The Block 600 parking study was utilized as a
reference for the parking analyses within this report.
The total parking provided within Block 600 is 3,161 parking spaces which provides parking for the
addresses of 600,610,620,630,660 Newport Center Drive,the Twin Palms Restaurant and the Four
Seasons Hotel. Although the Four Seasons Hotel has on-site parking facilities, at times there is a
need for overflow parking off-site. In order to determine whethenthere is a parking surplus for the
overflow parking from the Four Seasons Hotel, the entire Block 600 was analyzed with the
assumption that all of the land uses within Block 600 would be fully occupied.
Existing Parking Sunnly
Parking for the land uses within Block 600 are provided via two parking structures and six surface
parking lots. The Four Seasons Hotel has a separate parking structure and parking in front of the
hotel which serves only the guests at the hotel along with adjacent surface lots. The total number
of parking spaces available specifically for the Four Seasons Hotel, after the expansion,would be
408 parking spaces, as shown in Table 8. With the expansion of the hotel a total of 14 parking
spaces will be displaced. Table 8 also indicates the total number of parking spaces available within
Block 600 Newport Center Drive both before (3,167 parking spaces)- and after (3,153 parking
spaces)the expansion of the hotel.
Parking Demand-Based upon C* Code
The entire Block 600 of Newport Center Drive was included in the parking analyses to determine
existing parking demands. The City of Newport Beach parking codes, existing parking covenants
' "Block 600 Newport Center",prepared for the City of Newport Beach; dated April 8,
1998.

and a recent parking stud? in the area were referenced to obtain parking requirements for the land
uses within Block 600. Table 9 lists the total number of parking spaces required for the Health
Club, office buildings, restaurant, existing hotel and the hotel expansion. As shown in Table'9
based upon City code, all the land uses within Block 600 would require a total of 3,074 parking
spaces.
As stated earlier in this study, after completion of the proposed project there would be a total of
3,153 parking spaces available. With a parking demand,based upon City code,for the entire Block
600 of Newport Center Drive of 3,074,there would be a parking surplus of 79 parking spaces.
Parking Demand-Based upon Current Parking Counts
Parking counts were conducted for Block 600 in August, 1997 and are shown in Table 10. As
shown in Table 10,the peak parking period occurred on Monday(8/11/97)at 11:00 AM with a total
of 1,874 parked vehicles. It should be noted that at the time of these counts, the occupancy rate for
the office land uses was 95 percent. Conditions at the Four Seasons Hotel included 262 rooms that
were occupied at the time of the count and no activity in the ballrooms.
In order to account for full operations at the Four Seasons Hotel,an additional count was conducted
in January, 1998 when there was a function in the ballroom. Table 11 shows a breakdown of the
Four Seasons Hotel parking count to include 267 parked vehicles in the on-site parking structure
which is valet,31 parked vehicles in adjacent Surface Lots(one is located behind the on-site parking
structure (IS) and the other located in back of the Twin Palms Restaurant (16)) and I parked
vehicles in the front court yard for a total of 309 parked vehicles. As stated earlier,at the time of the
count a total of 262 rooms were occupied of the 285 rooms available.

Parking rates were established specifically for the Four Seasons Hotel,based upon the most recent
count data and counts which were conducted earlier at the Four Seasons Hotel. Table 12 shows the
various parking rates for the Four Seasons Hotel both with and without functions in the ballrooms.
Under typical operating conditions, completion of the proposed expansion, full occupancy and no
functions in the ballrooms, a parking rate of 0.703 was established for the Four Seasons Hotel.
As shown in Table 12, for typical daily operations at the hotel with the proposed expansion and no
function in the ballrooms, there would be a need for 299 parking spaces. As stated earlier in this
study there is a total of 408 parking spaces available to the Four Seasons Hotel, specifically 375
parking spaces available in the on-site parking structure. Based upon the number of parking spaces
needed under a typical operating day at the hotel and utilizing only the on-site parking structure,
there would be a parking surplus of 76 spaces.
In order to obtain the number of parking spaces required at full occupancy of the hotel with functions
in the ballrooms, a count was conducted in January 1998 that reflected a function in the ballroom.
As shown in Table 12, a parking rate of 1.18 was utilized to determine parking conditions after the
proposed expansion and also includes functions in the ballrooms.
Protected Tratrc for Vacancies and the Fn„■.Ceasons Hotel Expattston
In order to obtain a 100 percent occupancy rate at the hotel and reflect functions in the ballrooms,
the parking rate established earlier of 1.18 was applied to the vacant rooms in the hotel along with
the proposed hotel expansion (140 rooms). Table 11 which was presented earlier in this study
shows a total of 192 spaces would be required for the vacant hotel rooms and the proposed
expansion.
The total number of parking spaces available for the Four Seasons Hotel, after the expansion,would
be 408 parking spaces; and as shown in Table 11,the Four Seasons Hotel would require a total of
501 parking spaces. There would be an on-site parking deficit of 93 parking spaces. These data are

based upon functions in the ballroom, a 100 percent occupancy rate and the proposed hotel
expansion.
In order to determine whether there would be adequate parking available off-site within Block 600
for the overflow parking from the Four Seasons Hotel at peak operations,additional parking analyses
of the area was conducted. The remaining uses within Block 600 were analyzed at full operations
with no vacancies in the office land uses.
The occupancy rate during the time of the counts for the office land uses was 95 percent; therefore,
based upon this information the City Parking Code was applied to the vacant square footage in each
of the office buildings. Shown in Table 13 are the required number of parking spaces for the
vacancies in each office building. It should be noted that it was assumed that the health club and
restaurant uses within Block 600 were at"normal"operating conditions during the counts and no
additional parking spaces were added for these two uses. Table 13 indicates that the vacancies with
the office land uses would require 103 parking spaces.
Table 14 summarizes the parking for Block 600 based upon existing counts,estimated parking needs
for the office vacancies, existing count data of the Four Seasons Hotel Parking and estimates for
vacancies and the proposed expansion of the hotel. As shown in Table 14 a total of 2,347 parking
spaces are needed. Table 8 indicates that the proposed number of parking spaces for Block 600 is
3,153 parking spaces.After all the uses are served,including the proposed expansion and'activities
in the ballroom at the Four Seasons Hotel,there would be a parking surplus of 806 parking spaces.
SUMMARY
This study has examined the traffic factors related to the proposed Four Seasons Hotel expansion
project located within the City of Newport Beach. Estimates have been made of traffic to be
generated by the expansion and the ability of the road system to accommodate the added traffic for

both the near term and City Buildout conditions. These analyses were completed to conform to the
requirements of the City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance. In addition,parking was also examined.
The following are the principal findings of the study.
1. The proposed expansion is estimated to generate 1,160 daily trip ends,of which 80
(55 In,25 Out)would occur during the AM peak hour and 90(40 In, 50 Out)would
occur during the PM peak hour.
2. After discussion with City Traffic Engineering Staff, a total of ten (10) study
intersections were examined. Of these, only two of the study intersections,
Jamboree/San Joaquin Hills and MacArthur/San Joaquin Hills, exceeded the
maximum one percent on at least one approach.
3. ICU analyses were completed for theses two study intersections under near term and
Long Range General Plan conditions.
Under near term conditions, both the study intersections of Jamboree/San
Joaquin Hills and Mac Arthur/San Joaquin Hills would operate at acceptable
Levels of Service during the AM and PM peak hours.
Under Long Range General Plan conditions, all of the study intersections
were examined both with and without the project. The three study
intersections of Coast Hwy/Bayside, MacArthur/Jamboree and
Jamboree/Bristol N. would operate at unacceptable Levels of Service under
conditions without the project. When the project was added there was no
change in the ICU values at these three study intersections which indicate the
project did not have a significant impact.

No off-site mitigation measures would be needed under the TPO guidelines under
either the near term conditions or the Long Range General Plan conditions.
4. Existing and proposed parking demands were analyzed. Based upon the City code
requirements for the existing and proposed land uses and the total parking provided
within`Block 600",there would be a parking surplus of 79 parking spaces.
5. Parking rates which depict typical daily operations at the hotel which were
established by existing count data and room occupancy data,without a function in
the ballroom and after completion of the proposed project,there would be adequate
parking on-site.
6. Based upon parking rates, which were established by existing count data, room
occupancy data and a function in the ballroom, and after completion of the project
there would be an on-site parking shortage of 93 parking spaces. However, there
would be more than 806 parking spaces available within Block 600 to handle the
parking deficit.
