Re: City of Newport Beach and Hoag Hospital Development Agreement Amendment
Development Agreement Amendment No. 5-09-008
Dear Mr. Selich & Mr. Afable:
Please accept this letter as confirmation that the California Coastal Commission, at its February 5,
2009 meeting in Huntington Beach, approved Development Agreement Amendment No. 5-09-008
between the City of Newport Beach and Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian. The approved
development agreement amendment allows changes to the approved development agreement (1994)
including: maintaining the overall development cap for the entire site of 1,343,238 square foot,
transferring up to 225,000 square feet of the existing 577,889 square feet of development potential
from the lower campus portion of the site (which is located within the coastal zone) to the upper
campus (located outside the coastal zone) that will then have a maximum development potential of
990,349 square feet.
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65869, a development agreement is not valid for
any development project located in an area for which a local coastal program is required to be
prepared and certified unless the Commission approves such development agreement by formal
Commission action. This requirement has now been fulfilled. However, for any project that has not
yet received Coastal Act authorization, the Development Agreement as amended does not relieve the
hospital or the City of their obligation to obtain Coastal Act authorization prior to commencing
development that falls within the scope of the Development Agreement. Thus, future development at
the subject site located within the coastal zone will require approval of a coastal development permit.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at the above telephone number with any questions regarding this
matter.
Sincerely
rn
Meg Vaughn
