EXHIBIT A
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Determination
The Garden Office and Parking Structure
215 Riverside Avenue
Newport Beach, CA
CEQA Section 15332. In -Fill Development Projects
The Project is categorically exempt under Section 15332, of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Class 32 (In -Fill Development Projects) set forth in Title 14, Division
6, Chapter 3 ("CEQA Guidelines"). This exemption applies to in -fill development projects in
urban areas that are consistent with the General Plan and applicable development
standards. In addition, the proposed development must occur on a site of no more than
five (5) acres, have no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, be
adequately served by all utilities and public services, and must not result in any significant
effects relating to traffic, air quality, water quality, or any other significant effect on the
environment due to an unusual circumstance.
Class 32 exemptions for in -fill development projects are required to meet the following
conditions:
a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all
applicable general plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning
designation and regulations.
The General Plan Land Use Element designates the site as General Commercial (CG)
which is intended to provide for a wide variety of commercial activities oriented primarily
to serve citywide or regional needs. Development of the site will be consistent with
General Plan policies as indicated below. The Project is consistent with the 0.5 FAR limit
for the Property.
Land Use Policies
Policy LU2.1 Resident -Serving Land Uses. Accommodate uses that support the
needs of Newport Beach's residents including housing, retail,
services, employment, recreation, education, culture, entertainment,
civic engagement, and social and spiritual activity that are in balance
with community natural resources and open spaces.
Policy LU2.2 Sustainable and Complete Community. Emphasize the
development of uses that enable Newport Beach to continue as a
self-sustaining community and minimize the need for residents to
travel outside of the community for retail, goods and services, and
employment.
Policy LU 2.8 Adequate Infrastructure. Accommodate the types, densities, and
mix of land uses that can be adequately supported by transportation
and utility infrastructure (water, sewer, storm drainage, energy, and
9-25
so on) and public services (schools, parks, libraries, seniors, youth,
police, fire, and so on).
Policy LU3.2 Growth and Change. Enhance existing neighborhoods, districts and
corridors, allowing for re -use and infill with uses that are
complementary in type, form, scale, and character. Changes in use
and/or density/intensity should be considered only in those areas
that are economically underperforming, are necessary to
accommodate Newport Beach's share of projected regional
population growth, improve the relationship and reduce commuting
distance between home and jobs, or enhance the values that
distinguish Newport Beach as a special place to live for its residents.
The scale of growth and new development shall be coordinated with
the provision of adequate infrastructure and public services,
including standards for acceptable traffic level of service.
Policy LU 4.1 Land Use Diagram. Accommodate land use development
consistent with the Land Use Plan. Figure LU1 depicts the general
distribution of uses throughout the City and Figure LU2 through
Figure LU15 depict specific use categories for each parcel within
defined Statistical Areas. Table LU1 (Land Use Plan Categories)
specifies the primary land use categories, types of uses, and, for
certain categories, the densities/intensities to be permitted. The
permitted densities/intensities or amount of development for land use
categories for which this is not included in Table LU1, are specified
on the Land Use Plan, Figure LU4 through Figure LU15. These are
intended to convey maximum and, in some cases, minimums that
may be permitted on any parcel within the designation or as
otherwise specified by Table LU2 (Anomaly Locations).
The office use is intended to serve local residents and the parking structure will serve the
Project while also providing additional spaces to serve surrounding businesses and uses
in the Mariners' Mile community on a lease basis. The use complements the existing type
and character of the nearby development, which includes a variety of commercial and
residential development. As further discussed in part (e) of this analysis, there is adequate
capacity in the sewer and water facilities, circulation, and other public services and
facilities to provide an adequate level of service to the Project. The Project (i.e., office and
parking structure) represents "in -fill" development that can be served by the existing
infrastructure.
The Property is located within the Commercial General (CG) Zoning District, which is
intended to provide for a range of neighborhood -serving retail and service uses along
street frontages that are located and designed to foster pedestrian activity. Pursuant to
Section 20.20.020 (Commercial Zoning Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements),
office uses are a permitted use within the Commercial General Zoning District.
A-2
9-26
Project Desiqn Policies
Policy 5.2.1 Architecture and Site Design. Require that new development
within existing commercial districts and corridors complement
existing uses and exhibit a high level of architectural and site design
in consideration of the following principals:
Seamless connections and transitions with existing buildings,
except where developed as a free-standing building,
modulation of building masses, elevations and rooflines to
promote visual interest,
architectural treatment of all building elevations, including
ancillary facilities such as storage, truck loading and unloading,
and trash enclosures,
treatment of the ground floor of buildings to promote pedestrian
activity by avoiding long continuous blank walls, incorporating
extensive glazing for transparency, and modulating and
articulating elevations to promote visual interest,
clear identification of storefront entries,
incorporation of signage that is integrated with the buildings'
architectural character,
architectural treatment of parking structures consistent with
commercial buildings, including the incorporation of retail in the
ground floors where the parking structure faces a public street or
pedestrian way,
extensive on-site landscaping, including mature vegetation to
provide a tree canopy to provide shade for customers,
incorporation of plazas and expanded sidewalks to accommodate
pedestrian, outdoor dining, and other activities,
clearly delineated pedestrian connections between business
areas, parking, and to adjoining neighborhoods and districts
paving treatment, landscape, wayfinding signage, and soon),
integration of building design and site planning elements that
reduce the consumption of water, energy, and other renewable
resources.
The Project includes a 2,744 -square -foot office building and a 41 space parking structure.
The building provides a flat parapet roofline and brick fagade with the primary pedestrian
entrance located along the street frontage. The architectural style of the building is
designed to complement the adjacent retail shopping center to the south, with a brick
fagade, fabric awnings, and arched window and entryways. The parking structure is
accessible from Avon Street and Riverside Avenue and accommodates visitors,
employees, and surplus parking to serve the surrounding area. Appropriate pedestrian
connections are maintained along the adjacent sidewalks of Riverside Avenue and Avon
Street.
A-3
9-27
Neighborhood Compatibility Policies
Policy LU5.2.2 Buffering Residential Areas. Require that commercial uses
adjoining residential neighborhoods be designed to be compatible
and minimize impacts through such techniques as:
Incorporation of landscape, decorative walls, enclosed trash
containers, downward focused lighting fixtures, and/or
comparable buffering elements;
Attractive architectural treatment of elevations facing the
residential neighborhood;
Location of automobile and truck access to prevent impacts on
neighborhood traffic and privacy.
Policy LU6.16.5 Compatibility of Business Operations with Adjoining
Residential Neighborhoods. Work with local businesses to ensure
that retail, office, and other uses do not adversely impact adjoining
residential neighborhoods. This may include strategies addressing
hours of operation, employee loitering, trash pickup, truck delivery
hours, customer arrivals and departures, and other activities.
Policy LU6.16.6 Design Compatibility with Adjoining Residential
Neighborhoods. Require that building elevations facing adjoining
residential units be designed to convey a high-quality character and
ensure privacy of the residents, and that properties be developed to
mitigate to the maximum extend feasible impacts of lighting, noise,
odor, trash storage, truck deliveries, and other business related
activities. Building elevations shall be architecturally treated and
walls, if used as buffers, shall be well-designed and landscaped to
reflect the areas residential village character.
The Project incorporates a variety of features to ensure neighborhood compatibility,
including landscaping at the rear adjacent to residential properties and Cliff Drive Park,
attractive architectural treatments including a trellis at the second level of the proposed
parking structure. The majority of the parking structure is built into the slope on site to
maintain views for surrounding residents and public park areas. Additionally, the Applicant
has reduced the height of the parking structure to the height of the existing building.
Parking structure access is specifically designed with first level access from Avon Street
and second level access from Riverside Avenue to maximize the efficiency of parking and
circulation on the Property. The location of vehicle access will ensure existing
neighborhood traffic and privacy patterns are maintained. A trash enclosure is located at
the southwest portion of the parking structure to minimize odors and noise to the nearby
properties. Project lighting will be reviewed with a photometric study at plan check to
ensure exterior lighting is compatible with surrounding residential development.
Adequate setbacks are incorporated into the Project's design to ensure that the office
building and parking structure will be compatible with the adjoining residential properties.
A minimum five (5) foot setback is provided between the nearest residences.
Mariners' Mile Policies
LU 6.19.11 Pedestrian -Oriented Village. Require that inland properties that
front onto internal streets within the Community/Neighborhood
Village locate buildings along and forming a semi continuous building
wall along the sidewalk, with parking to the rear in structures or in
shared facilities and be designed to promote pedestrian activity.
LU 6.19.12 Properties Abutting Bluff Faces. Require that development
projects locate and design buildings to maintain the visual quality and
maintain the structural integrity of the bluff faces.
The Property is located on an inland portion of Mariners' Mile. The proposed office
building and parking structure is designed for pedestrian access fronting the intersection
of Riverside Avenue and Avon Street to improve the pedestrian oriented quality of the
Village area. The site is a steeply sloping lot that was previously developed with a surface
level parking area of 18 -parking spaces, and 8,056 -square -foot, three-story, commercial
building encompassing office space and a former restaurant. The existing commercial
building continues to include office uses and would be demolished. When redeveloped,
the new parking structure will make use of an existing retaining wall on the site to maintain
the visual quality and integrity of the bluff area at the rear portion of the Property.
b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more
than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
The Project site is within the Newport Beach city limits, and consists of 16,246 square
feet or 0.37 -acres of land area. The Project site is surrounded by other urban uses
including retail, restaurant, and office uses to the south and southwest, residential uses
to the north and east of the site, and Cliff Drive Park to the northwest and northeast.
c) The project site has no value, as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened
species.
The Property is vacant and has no native vegetation and/or habitat. As noted above, the
site is currently developed with a restaurant and office building with an 18 -space surface
parking lot. There is no potential for special -status plants or animals to exist on the vacant
lot.
A biological resources analysis (Exhibit 5) has confirmed the offsite presence of a wetland
resource area, located on the northerly edge of Avon Street to the west of the Property.
The memorandum explains that this wetland is a slope wetland or groundwater fed wetland
that has been documented at this location since at least 1989. The biological analysis
included mapping of the wetland and inventory of the species occupying the area. This
indicates the wetland is three (3) to six (6) feet wide directly adjacent to Avon Street and
includes a mix of native and non-native species. The source of water is fed by a spring
and/or runoff, which drains toward the west, discharging into a drainage culvert west of the
Property across from the BMW dealership property.
A-5
9-29
Even though the wetland is not on the Project site and no diking dredging or filling is
proposed, the following analysis is provided to demonstrate the Project's consistency with
the certified Local Coastal Program pursuant to the California Coastal Act. Coastal Land
Use Policy 4.2.2.3 and Section 21.306.040 (Wetlands, Deepwater Areas, and Other Water
Areas) of the Local Coastal Program requires a 100 foot buffer between development and
wetlands unless:
a. One hundred (100) foot wide buffer is not possible due to site-specific constraints; and
b. The proposed narrower buffer would be amply protective of the biological integrity of the
wetland given the site-specific characteristics of the resource and of the type and
intensity of disturbance.
Existing site wall and driveway encroachments over the Property line would be removed
and increase the buffer distance from 29 feet to 39 feet from the wetland. Further, the
proposed erosion control plan demonstrates that adequate measures such as a silt fence,
straw wattle, and other necessary protections will be taken to protect surrounding properties
from erosion and discharge of pollutants during construction. The biologist's analysis
concluded that there would be no significant impacts to wetland ESHA associated with the
re -development of the Property and that 39 foot buffer is sufficient for the long-term
maintenance and health of the wetland resource.
Additionally, since the Project would not affect the wetland directly through dredging, filling,
or other alteration, notification and/or permitting under California Department of Fish and
Wildlife Section 1602 is not required. Thus, there would be no significant impacts to
wetland ESHA associated with the Project. For these reasons, the Project site has no
value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. Given the urban character
of the surrounding area, no significant impacts to biological resources would occur.
d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to
traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
With respect to traffic, an analysis of traffic trips for the Project concluded that the
generated trips would not result in a significant traffic impact. Construction of the Project
is anticipated to be completed in 2020. The Project is expected to generate 46 trips on a
typical weekday, with five (5) morning peak hour trips and seven (7) evening peak hour
trips. This represents a 248 trip reduction in average daily trips for the Property when
compared to the existing occupied and operating uses. The restaurant is vacant and the
office uses are operating at this time and the existing office uses generate 50 average
daily trips with 6 AM trips and 6 PM trips. As such, the project -related traffic would not
cause or contribute to an unacceptable level of service with the circulation network
adjacent to the Project. The Project will provide adequate, convenient parking for
employees and customers or visitors based upon the review of the City's Traffic Engineer.
Approval of the Project would not result in any significant effect related to traffic or
circulation.
With respect to noise, an acoustical report prepared March 4, 2019 and updated in
February 2020 by Urban Crossroads (Exhibit 2) confirms that sound levels will remain in
9-30
compliance with the noise standards in Section 14.25,025 of the NEMC. The unmitigated
Project operational noise levels were estimated to range from 28.7 to 48.2 db(A)' Leg2 in
the worst case. No significant noise impacts will occur and the exterior noise levels would
comply with the City's more conservative residential exterior noise standard of 55 dBA
Leq for daytime and 50 dBA Leq for nighttime. Therefore, no additional exterior noise
abatement measures are required. Additionally, a supplemental noise assessment was
provided, which compares the projected project noise to the ambient nighttime noise of
four commercial parking areas in the City. The results of the supplemental assessment
found similar noise levels to that of the initial analysis and concludes that the initial
analysis adequately describes the potential project parking lot noise levels.
The Project will comply with all applicable provisions of the City's Noise Ordinance, which
allows for construction between specific hours as set forth in Chapter 10.28 of the NBMC.
The Project must also be consistent with the City's interior noise standards established in
the General Plan Noise Element, including Policy N1.1, N1.2, and N1.5.
With respect to air quality, neither short-term nor long-term air pollutant emissions will
exceed significance thresholds established by the SCAQMD3. Nonetheless, the Project
is required to comply with applicable SCAQM regulations. Therefore, approval of the
Project would not result in any significant effects relating to air quality.
With respect to water quality, a preliminary Water Quality Management Plan (Exhibit 3)
has been reviewed by the City of Newport Beach and implementation of the Project would
not result in potentially significant impacts to the drainage patterns on-site. The Project
results in a reduction of impervious surfaces on-site. Water quality objectives will be
achieved through the incorporation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in
the preliminary Water Quality Management Plan (Exhibit 3) during construction and post -
project implementation. Project implementation will not change the general drainage
pattern of the Property. Current on-site drainage patterns consist of runoff from the front
portion of the Property, which is directed into a gravel bed for infiltration prior to discharge
to the street. Runoff from the remaining portion of the site will be collected in an area drain
system and discharged through a bio -retention planter box at the sides of the property
and then pumped to the street for discharge. Under the Project, hardscape, parking
structure, and landscape area runoff will be collected in proposed bioretention planter
boxes and filter inserts prior to discharge into the underground storm drain system.
Approval of the project would not result in any significant effect related to water quality.
Furthermore, the existing drainage facilities have adequate capacity to accommodate the
increase in surface runoff generated by the proposed project based upon the review by
the Project's engineer.
e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
All required utilities, including sewer, water, energy, telephone, etc., exist within the
project site. A domestic water service and meter and fire water service and meter are
located toward the southwest property line along Avon Street and Riverside Avenue. A
dB(A) Weights a sound spectrum relative to the sensitivity of the human ear.
Leq Steady-state "average" sound level over a stated time period (15 minute time period per the NBMC).

9-31
sewer line is located along the southern property line in Avon Street, which drains to a
line in Riverside Avenue. A water/waste water calculation has been prepared for the
proposed development (Exhibit 4). Project implementation is estimated to utilize less
water and waste water than the existing restaurant and office building on-site.
Development of a new office and parking structure is estimated to result in a decrease of
3,689 GPD of waste water generation and a decrease of 339 GPD of water demand. No
backbone facilities (i.e., master -planned roads and/or utilities) will be required to
accommodate the Project. The nearest fire station is one (1) mile south of the Project at
475 32nd Street on the Balboa Peninsula. Furthermore, all of the public services, including
police and fire protection, schools and parks and recreation, etc., are adequate to
accommodate the proposed project. Thus, the site can be adequately served by all
required utilities and public services.
Determination
CEQA Class 32 consists of projects characterized as in -fill development meeting the
conditions described above. The Project consists of the demolition of the existing building
and development of a new office building and parking structure with required off-street
parking and is consistent with the City's General Plan land use designation General
Commercial (GC) and Zoning designations Commercial General (CG) as it provides a
resident -serving service use (office tenants) in close proximity to nearby residences and
nonresidential uses in the area. The Project is consistent with the General Plan
designations and policies, and can be found consistent with all applicable zoning
regulations upon approval of the requested applications.
The Property is 0.37 acres in size, is located within an urban area, and can be adequately
served by all required utilities and public services. An acoustical analysis, preliminary
Water Quality Management Plan, and water/waste-water generation memorandum have
been prepared. An analysis of the Property indicates that the Property and adjacent areas
have no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. The Project is
expected to have a less than significant impacts related to traffic, noise, air quality, and
water quality. As described above, implementation of the Project will not result in any
adverse effects on sensitive biological resources, traffic, air quality, noise, or water
quality.
There is no reasonable probability that the Project will have a significant effect on the
environment due to unusual circumstances, nor will the Project result in any short-term or
long-term impacts that were not previously considered in the Newport Beach General
Plan and General Plan EIR. Therefore, the Project meets all of the conditions described
above for in -fill development and qualifies for a Class 32 exemption.
Piecemealing
As identified in the staff report prepared for the City Council hearing, some commenters
claim the "whole of the project" under CEQA should be deemed by the City to include the
preliminary application received for the adjacent 2902 West Coast Highway Project for
the Garden Restaurant. The Project may, however, be reviewed independent of the
Garden Restaurant (PA2019-006) located at 2902 West Coast Highway.
9-32
Under CEQA, generally, the lead agency must consider the "whole of an action" when
determining whether it will have significant environmental effects. (CEQA Guidelines, §§
15993, subd. (h), 15378, subd. (a).) This rule is designed to prevent an agency from
chopping a large project into many little ones" that may be individually insignificant but
have cumulatively significant environmental effects. Breaking a single project into smaller
parts and analyzing those parts separately is often referred to as "piecemealing" or
segmentation." (See also, CEQA Guidelines, §§15165, 15158.)
The California Supreme Court has adopted the following test for determining whether
unlawful piecemealing has occurred. An agency must analyze a future expansion or other
action as part of the initial project "if: (1) it is a reasonably foreseeable consequence of
the initial project; and (2) the future expansion or action will be significant in that it will
likely change the scope or nature of the initial project or its environmental effects." (Laurel
Heights Improvement Assn. v. Regents of Univ. of Cal. (19 88) 47 Ca1.3d 376, 396; see
also Pub. Resources Code, § 21665 [defining "project"].) Absent these two
circumstances, the two proposals are not the same "project" and the lead agency may
analyze them separately.
There is, therefore, no piecemealing where, as here, two projects serve different
purposes, can be implemented independently and/or have different project proponents.
In short, the Project and Garden Restaurant demonstrate "independent utility" under
CEQA for the following reasons:
1. The City has not received a complete application for the Garden Restaurant;
2. The proposals lack a causal link that makes them part of an overarching
scheme, in that the Project does not cause the need for the Garden Restaurant,
and the Garden Restaurant does not cause the need for the Project; and
3. The Project for consideration also does not rely upon the Garden Restaurant
in order for its approval and/or implementation. The approval of the Project, for
example, would not make approval of the Garden Restaurant proposal either
more or less likely.
Also, at the October 3, 2919 meeting, the Planning Commission was provided with a
Parking Agreement Memorandum of Understanding by the Applicant's attorney entered
into between the owner of 2902 West Coast Highway and an adjacent property owner
that agreed to provide parking to 2902 West Coast Highway should the project be
approved by the City in the future.
In the event the City receives a complete application for the Garden Restaurant (PA2019-
006), the City would evaluate the project for full compliance with the City's General Plan,
NBMC and CEQA. No substantial evidence in the record demonstrates that consideration
of the two proposals independently constitutes improper piecemealing. This is not, for
example, a project wherein a developer proposes to consider the potential effects of an
infrastructure improvement (i.e. water or sewer) separate from the project itself (i.e. a
housing project), If, new substantial evidence is introduced or the Council feels differently,
it may refer both applications back to the Planning Commission for concurrent review if
deemed appropriate.

Re: Appeal of Coastal Development Permit No. CD2019-003, Conditional Use
Permit No. UP2019-003, and Modification Permit No. MD2019-003
Dear Mr. Ramirez:
This letter is sent on behalf of Laidlaw Schultz (Applicant), the applicant for the 215
Riverside Avenue project (Project), and 215 Riverside Drive, LLC (Owner), the owner of the
building and parking lot at 215 Riverside, Enclosed please find a Supplemental Noise
Assessment, dated February 4, 2020, prepared by Urban Crossroads for the Project that will be
heard by the City Council on March 24, 2020.
One of the allegations raised in the appeal filed by Berding & Weil on behalf of the four
adjacent residents was that the Noise Impact Analysis (NIA) prepared by Urban Crossroads,
dated April 3, 2019, did not accurately reflect the noise levels anticipated to be generated by the
proposed Project. Although the NIA included 24-hour noise measurements taken from an office
building in Lake Forest that housed a company that operated 24 hours a day with employees
coming and going throughout that 24 hour period, the comment was made that because the
parking at 215 Riverside could be used by off-site restaurants or retail uses, the noise from those
patrons' cars would be different than the noise from the employees' cars in Lake Forest.
In response to that comment, Urban Crossroads took noise measurements from four
commercial uses (including two restaurants and two commercial centers with retail and
restaurant uses) in the City, The noise measurements f om these uses demonstrate that the
original NIA's noise measurements provided an accurate assessment of the noise environment at
215 Riverside. We would appreciate it if you would provide this report to the City Council, and
include it in the record of proceedings for the 215 Riverside Project.
Very truly yours,

SUBJECT: 215 RIVERSIDE SUPPLEMENTAL NOISE ASSESSMENT
Dear Susan Hori:
Urban Crossroads, Inc. is pleased to submit this Supplemental Noise Assessment for the 215 Riverside
Project"), which Is located north of Avon Street and west of Riverside Avenue in the City of Newport
Beach. The purpose of the Supplemental Noise Assessment is to describe the existing noise levels
associated with the planned parking lot for the Project. This assessment expands on the previous parking
lot reference noise level measurements found in the April 3rd, 2019 215 Riverside Avenue Noise Impact
Analysis ("NIA") prepared by Urban Crossroads, Inc. (1)
PREVIOUS FINDINGS OF THE 215 RIVERSIDE AVENUE NOISE IMPACT ANALYSIS
The results of the original April 3rd, 2019 NIA indicated that the highest noise levels that would affect the
adjacent noise -sensitive residential receiver locations are expected to approach 38.2 dBA Lecl from
parking lot vehicle movements and 57.2 dBA Leq from HVAC units when measured at a distance of 50
feet. The NIA demonstrated that the noise generated from the expected Project operational noise
sources (roof -top air conditioning and parking lot vehicle movements) will satisfy the City of Newport
Beach Municipal Code daytime 55 dBA Leq and nighttime 50 dBA Leq exterior noise level standards at the
neighboring residential uses. Based on the findings in the NIA, no additional exterior noise abatement
measures (e.g., noise barriers or operational mitigation measures) are required. The reference noise
level measurements from the original NIA used to describe the Project noise levels are shown in Table 1
below.

It is important to note that the Project operational noise levels provided in the study assumed a
conservative estimation of the future noise environment, with the roof -top air conditioning units and
parking lot vehicle movements all operating continuously, and simultaneously. Moreover, the analysis
assumed that the highest reference noise source activity for all noise sources operate every minute of
every hour in each day. Therefore, the analysis includes no periods of inactivity, and describes the
continuous operation of operational noise source activities across both daytime and nighttime hours. In
reality the noise level impacts will likely vary throughout the day. For example, rooftop air conditioning
will not be operating at night for the 215 Riverside Avenue building.
In addition, at the October 17, 2019 Planning Commission hearing the project proponent agreed to
extend the rooftop trellis and prohibit parking on the upper parking level after 11:00 pm. Any cars on
the upper parking level parked before 11:00 pm would be allowed to remain. The upper parking level
restrictions would also contribute to reducing potential noise levels associated with parking activities.
REFERENCE NOISE LEVEL MEASUREMENTS
As previously indicated, the purpose of this assessment is to supplement the existing parking lot
reference noise level measurements with additional noise level measurement data describing similar
parking lots in area. To identify the potential parking lot noise levels from the Project, long-term
reference noise level measurements were collected at the following locations as shown on Exhibit A:
Mariner's Mile Square Parking Lot
On the Rocks Bar and Grill Parking Lot
Parking Lot at West Oceanfront and 22nd Street
The Landing Parking Lot
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
To assess the potential noise levels generated by the proposed Project parking lot, reference noise level
measurements were collected between 11:00 a.m. on Friday, December 131h, 2019 to 8:00 a.m. on
Sunday, December 16th, 2019. Appendix A includes photographs of the reference parking lot activities.
The long-term noise level measurements were recorded using Piccolo Type 2 integrating sound level
meter and dataloggers. The sound level meter was calibrated using a Larson -Davis calibrator, Model CAL
200. All noise meters were programmed in "slow" mode to record noise levels in "A" weighted form.
The sound level meters and microphones were equipped with a windscreen during all measurements.
All noise level measurement equipment satisfies the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
standard specifications for sound level meters ANSI S1.4-2014/IEC 61672-1:2013. (2)
REFERENCE NOISE LEVEL MEASUREMENT SUMMARY
Table 2 shows the peak hour nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) reference parking lot noise level
measurements collected in similar parking lots near the Project site in City of Newport Beach. All
reference measurements are presented at both the reference distance they were taken, in addition to a
uniform reference distance of 50 feet for comparison purposes. To present a conservative approach,

CONCLUSIONS
The reference parking lot measurements show that the original NIA adequately describes the potential
Project parking lot noise levels. The four supplemental noise levels at similar reference parking lots in
the City of Newport Beach ranged from 35.7 dBA Leq to 40.5 dBA Leq at 50 feet during the peak nighttime
hours. This is generally consistent with the original NIA parking lot reference noise level measurement
of 38.2 dBA Leq from the Panasonic Avionics Corporation parking lot.
It is also important to recognize that while this assessment focuses on parking lot noise level impacts,
the primary operational noise source activity of 57.2 dBA Leq is related to the HVAC units, which will not
be operating at night. In effect, the reference noise levels of 38.2 dBA Leq associated with the parking
lot are largely overshadowed by the HVAC.operational noise levels of 57.2 dBA l..eq, which will not operate
at night. This Supplemental Noise Assessment demonstrates that original parking lot reference noise
level of 38.2 dBA Leq adequately reflects the reference noise source levels ranging from 35.7 to 40.5 dBA
Leq at similar parking lots in Newport Beach. Therefore, the analysis in the original NIA adequately
describes the potential parking lot noise level impacts at the nearby noise sensitive residential land use.

215 Riverside Avenue Noise Impact Analysis
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Urban Crossroads, Inc. has prepared this noise study to evaluate the potential operational noise
levels associated with the proposed two-story commercial office with attached parking structure
at 215 Riverside Avenue ("Project"), and to identify whether exterior noise abatement measures
are required to meet the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code exterior noise level standards.
1) The Project site is located at 215 Riverside Avenue in the City of Newport Beach, and consists
of a two-story commercial building with attached two-level parking structure. Using reference
noise levels of conservatively -representative operational activities, including roof -top air
conditioning units and parking structure vehicle movements, this analysis estimates the Project -
related operational (stationary -source) noise levels at the nearby noise -sensitive residential
homes and adjacent commercial uses, consistent with the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code.
The City of Newport Beach Municipal Code identifies base exterior noise level standards which
do not account for the existing ambient noise level. If existing ambient noise levels in the Project
study area are higher than the base exterior standards, the ambient noise levels become the
adjusted exterior noise level standards per Section 10.26.025 (A) of the City of Newport Beach
Municipal Code. As such, to present a conservative approach, this analysis relies on the more
restrictive base exterior noise level standards of 55 dBA LeQ daytime and 50 dBA L.eq nighttime at
residential uses per the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code; rather than adjusted exterior
noise levels based on higher existing ambient noise levels measured in the Project study area
which ranged from 54.8 to 63.2 dBA 4Q during the daytime, and 47.2 to 59.6 dBA L.eq during the
nighttime hours, as shown in Table 4-1 of this report.
Moreover, it is important to note that the Project operational noise levels described in this report
assume a worst-case noise environment with the Project's roof -top air conditioning units and
parking structure vehicle movements operating continuously throughout the daytime and
nighttime hours. However, the noise levels associated with the Project are anticipated to vary
throughout the day under typical operating conditions.
The results of this conservative analysis show that the Project -related operational noise levels
associated with roof -top air conditioning units and parking structure vehicle movements will
remain below the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code daytime and nighttime exterior noise
level standards at the nearby noise -sensitive residential homes and adjacent commercial uses.
Therefore, no additional exterior noise abatement measures (e.g., noise barriers) are required.

1 INTRODUCTION
This noise analysis has been completed to evaluate the potential future operational noise levels
associated with the operation of a two-story commercial office building with attached parking
structure at 215 Riverside Avenue ("Project"), and to identify the necessary exterior noise
abatement measures, if any, to satisfy the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code exterior noise
level standards. (1) This noise study describes the Project, provides information regarding noise
fundamentals, outlines the local regulatory setting, provides the study methods and procedures
for operational noise analysis, and evaluates the operational noise levels from the Project.
1.1 SITE LOCATION
The Project is located at 215 Riverside Avenue in the City of Newport Beach, as shown on Exhibit
1-A.
Existing noise -sensitive uses in the Project study area include residential homes to the north and
east. It is important to note that the residential homes to the north and east of the Project site
are situated at a higher elevation than the 215 Riverside Avenue site. Commercial uses in the
Project study area are located to the west and south of the Project site.
1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project consists of two-story commercial building with attached two-level parking structure.

2 FUNDAMENTALS
Noise has been simply defined as "unwanted sound." Sound becomes unwanted when it
interferes with normal activities, when it causes actual physical harm or when it has adverse
effects on health. Noise is measured on a logarithmic scale of sound pressure level known as a
decibel (dB). A -weighted decibels (dBA) approximate the subjective response of the human ear
to broad frequency noise source by discriminating against very low and very high frequencies of
the audible spectrum. They are adjusted to reflect only those frequencies which are audible to
the human ear. Exhibit 2-A presents a summary of the typical noise levels and their subjective
loudness and effects that are described in more detail below.

2.1 RANGE OF NOISE
Since the range of intensities that the human ear can detect is so large, the scale frequently used
to measure intensity is a scale based on multiples of 10, the logarithmic scale. The scale for
measuring intensity is the decibel scale. Each interval of 10 decibels indicates a sound energy ten
times greater than before, which is perceived by the human ear as being roughly twice as loud.
2) The most common sounds vary between 40 dBA (very quiet) to 100 dBA (very loud). Normal
conversation at three feet is roughly at 60 dBA, while loud jet engine noises equate to 110 dBA
12356-04 Noise Study O URBANCROSSROADS
9-61
215 Riverside Avenue Noise Impact Analysis
at approximately 100 feet, which can cause serious discomfort. (3) Another important aspect of
noise is the duration of the sound and the way it is described and distributed in time.
2.2 NOISE DESCRIPTORS
Environmental noise descriptors are generally based on averages, rather than instantaneous,
noise levels. The most commonly used figure is the equivalent level (L,q). Equivalent sound levels
are not measured directly but are calculated from sound pressure levels typically measured in A -
weighted decibels (dBA). The equivalent sound level (L,Qj represents a steady state sound level
containing the same total energy as a time varying signal over a given sample period and is
commonly used to describe the "average" noise levels within the environment.
While sound pressure levels (e.g. Leq) quantify in decibels the intensity of given sound sources at
a reference distance, sound power levels (PWL) are connected to the sound source and are
independent of distance. Sound pressure levels vary substantially with distance from the source,
and also diminish as a result of intervening obstacles and barriers, air absorption, wind and other
factors. Sound power is the acoustical energy emitted by the sound source and is an absolute
value that is not affected by the environment.
2.3 SOUND PROPAGATION
When sound propagates over a distance, it changes in level and frequency content. The manner
in which noise reduces with distance depends on the following factors.
2.3.1 GEOMETRIC SPREADING
Sound from a localized source (i.e., a stationary point source) propagates uniformly outward in a
spherical pattern. The sound level attenuates (or decreases) at a rate of 6 dB for each doubling
of distance from a point source. Highways consist of several localized noise sources on a defined
path and hence can be treated as a line source, which approximates the effect of several point
sources. Noise from a line source propagates outward in a cylindrical pattern, often referred to
as cylindrical spreading. Sound levels attenuate at a rate of 3 dB for each doubling of distance
from a line source. (4)
2.3.2 GROUND ABSORPTION
The propagation path of noise from a highway to a receiver is usually very close to the ground.
Noise attenuation from ground absorption and reflective wave canceling adds to the attenuation
associated with geometric spreading. Traditionally, the excess attenuation has also been
expressed in terms of attenuation per doubling of distance. This approximation is usually
sufficiently accurate for distances of less than 200 ft. For acoustically hard sites (i.e., sites with a
reflective surface between the source and the receiver, such as a parking lot or body of water),
no excess ground attenuation is assumed. For acoustically absorptive or soft sites (i.e., those
sites with an absorptive ground surface between the source and the receiver such as soft dirt,
grass, or scattered bushes and trees), an excess ground attenuation value of 1.5 d6 per doubling
of distance is normally assumed. When added to the cylindrical spreading, the excess ground
12356-04 Noise Study L% URBAN
8 CROSSROADS
9-62
215 Riverside Avenue Noise Impact Analysis
attenuation results in an overall drop-off rate of 4.5 d6 per doubling of distance from a line
source. (5)
2.3.3 ATMOSPHERIC EFFECTS
Receivers located downwind from a source can be exposed to increased noise levels relative to
calm conditions, whereas locations upwind can have lowered noise levels. Sound levels can be
increased at large distances (e.g., more than 500 feet) due to atmospheric temperature inversion
i.e., increasing temperature with elevation). Other factors such as air temperature, humidity,
and turbulence can also have significant effects. (4)
2.3.4 SHIELDING
A large object or barrier in the path between a noise source and a receiver can substantially
attenuate noise levels at the receiver. The amount of attenuation provided by shielding depends
on the size of the object and the frequency content of the noise source. Shielding by trees and
other such vegetation typically only has an "out of sight, out of mind" effect. That is, the
perception of noise impact tends to decrease when vegetation blocks the line -of -sight to nearby
resident. However, for vegetation to provide a substantial, or even noticeable, noise reduction,
the vegetation area must be at least 15 feet in height, 100 feet wide and dense enough to
completely obstruct the line -of sight between the source and the receiver. This size of vegetation
may provide up to 5 dBA of noise reduction. The FHWA does not consider the planting of
vegetation to be a noise abatement measure. (5)
2.4 NOISE CONTROL
Noise control is the process of obtaining an acceptable noise environment for an observation
point or receiver by controlling the noise source, transmission path, receiver, or all three. This
concept is known as the source -path -receiver concept. (6) In general, noise control measures
can be applied to these three elements. Exhibit 2-13 shows the source -path -receiver concept.
2.5 NOISE BARRIER ATTENUATION
Effective noise barriers can reduce noise levels by 10 to 15 dBA, cutting the loudness of traffic
noise in half. A noise barrier is most effective when placed close to the noise source or receiver.
Noise barriers, however, do have limitations. For a noise barrier to work, it must be high enough
and long enough to block the path of the noise source. (5)

2.6 COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO NOISE
Community responses to noise may range from registering a complaint by telephone or letter, to
initiating court action, depending upon everyone's susceptibility to noise and personal attitudes
about noise. Several factors are related to the level of community annoyance including:
Fear associated with noise producing activities;
Socio-economic status and educational level;
Perception that those affected are being unfairly treated;
Attitudes regarding the usefulness of the noise -producing activity;
Belief that the noise source can be controlled.
Approximately ten percent of the population has a very low tolerance for noise and will object to
any noise not of their making. Consequently, even in the quietest environment, some complaints
will occur. Another twenty-five percent of the population will not complain even in very severe
noise environments. Thus, a variety of reactions can be expected from people exposed to any
given noise environment. (7) Surveys have shown that about ten percent of the people exposed
to traffic noise of 60 dBA will report being highly annoyed with the noise, and each increase of
one dBA is associated with approximately two percent more people being highly annoyed. When
traffic noise exceeds 60 dBA or aircraft noise exceeds 55 dBA, people may begin to complain. (7)
Despite this variability in behavior on an individual level, the population can be expected to
exhibit the following responses to changes in noise levels as shown on Exhibit 2-C. An increase
or decrease of 1 dBA cannot be perceived except in carefully controlled laboratory experiments,
a change of 3 dBA are considered barely perceptible, and changes of 5 dBA are considered readily
perceptible. (5)

3 REGULATORY SETTING
To limit population exposure to physically and/or psychologically damaging as well as intrusive
noise levels, the federal government, the State of California, various county governments, and
most municipalities in the state have established standards and ordinances to control noise. In
most areas, automobile and truck traffic is the major source of environmental noise. Traffic
activity generally produces an average sound level that remains fairly constant with time. Air and
rail traffic, and commercial and industrial activities are also major sources of noise in some areas.
Federal, state, and local agencies regulate different aspects of environmental noise. Federal and
state agencies generally set noise standards for mobile sources such as aircraft and motor
vehicles, while regulation of stationary sources is left to local agencies.
3.1 CITY OF NEWPl7RT BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE NOISE STANDARDS
The City of Newport Beach Municipal Code, Chapter10.26 Community Noise Control, establishes
the permissible exterior noise levels that may intrude into a neighboring property. According to
Section 10.26.025(A) exterior noise levels at single-family residential land uses (Noise Zone 1)
shall not exceed 55 dBA Leq during the daytime hours (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and 50 dBA Leq
during the nighttime hours (10:40 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.). (1) For commercial uses, exterior noise
levels shall not exceed 65 dBA Leq during the daytime hours (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and 60 dBA
Leq during the nighttime hours (10:00 p.m_ to 7.00 a.m.). The City of Newport Beach Municipal

4 EXISTING NOISE LEVEL MEASUREMENTS
To assess the existing noise level environment, 24-hour noise level measurements were taken at
four locations in the Project study area. The receiver locations were selected to describe and
document the existing noise environment within the Project study area. Exhibit 4-A provides the
boundaries of the Project study area and the noise level measurement locations. To fully
describe the existing noise conditions, noise level measurements were collected by Urban
Crossroads, Inc. on Tuesday, February 26th, 2019. Appendix 4.1 includes study area photos.
4.1 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE AND CRITERIA
To describe the existing noise environment, the hourly noise levels were measured during typical
weekday conditions over a 24-hour period. By collecting individual hourly noise level
measurements, it is possible to describe the daytime and nighttime hourly noise levels and
calculate the 24-hour CNEL. The long-term noise readings were recorded using Piccolo Type 2
integrating sound level meter and dataloggers. The Piccolo sound level meters were calibrated
using a Larson -Davis calibrator, Model CAL 150. All noise meters were programmed in "slow"
mode to record noise levels in "A" weighted form. The sound level meters and microphones
were equipped with a windscreen during all measurements. All noise level measurement
equipment satisfies the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard specifications for
sound level meters ANSI 51.4-2014/IEC 61672-1:2013. (8)
4.2 NOISE MEASUREMENT LOCATIONS
The long-term noise level measurements were positioned as close to the nearest sensitive
receiver locations as possible to assess the existing ambient hourly noise levels surrounding the
Project site. Both Caltrans and the FTA recognize that it is not reasonable to collect noise level
measurements that can fully represent every part of a private yard, patio, deck, or balcony
normally used for human activity when estimating impacts for new development projects. This
is demonstrated in the Caltrans general site location guidelines which indicate that, sites must be
free of noise contamination by sources other than sources of interest. Avoid sites located near
sources such as barking dogs, lawnmowers, pool pumps, and air conditioners unless it is the
express intent of the analyst to measure these sources. (4) Further, FTA guidance states, that it is
not necessary nor recommended that existing noise exposure be determined by measuring at
every noise -sensitive location in the project area. Rather, the recommended approach is to
characterize the noise environment for clusters of sites based on measurements or estimates at
representative locations in the community. (9)
Based on recommendations of Caltrans and the FTA, it is not necessary to collect measurements
at each individual building or residence, because each receiver measurement represents a group
of buildings that share acoustical equivalence. (9) In other words, the area represented by the
receiver shares similar shielding, terrain, and geometric relationship to the reference noise
source. Receivers represent a location of noise sensitive areas and are used to estimate the
future noise level impacts. Collecting reference ambient noise level measurements at the nearby
12356-04 Noise Study URBAN
is

215 Riverside Avenue Noise Impact Analysis
sensitive receiver locations allows for a comparison of the before and after Project noise levels
and is necessary to assess potential noise impacts due to the Project's contribution to the
ambient noise levels.
4.3 NOISE MEASUREMENT RESULTS
The noise measurements presented below focus on the average or equivalent sound levels (Leq).
The equivalent sound level (Leq) represents a steady state sound level containing the same total
energy as a time varying signal over a given sample period. Table 4-1 identifies the hourly
daytime (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) noise levels at each
noise level measurement location. Appendix 4.2 provides a summary of the existing hourly
ambient noise levels described below:
Location Ll represents the noise levels northwest of the Project site on Cliff Drive in an
existing park near residential homes. The energy (logarithmic) average daytime noise level
was calculated at 55.7 dBA Leq with an average nighttime noise level of 50.0 dBA Leq.
Location L2 represents the noise levels within the existing parking lot at the Project site, south
of existing residential homes. The energy (logarithmic) average daytime noise level was
calculated at 54.8 dBA LeQ with an average nighttime noise level of 47.2 dBA 4,
Location L3 represents the noise levels on northeast of the Project site on Riverside Avenue
adjacent to an existing park. The energy (logarithmic) average daytime noise level was
calculated at 63.2 dBA Leq with an average nighttime noise level of 59.6 dBA Le,
Location L4 represents the noise levels east of the Project site on Ocean View Avenue adjacent
to existing residential homes. The energy (logarithmic) average daytime noise level was
calculated at 56.2 dBA Le, with an average nighttime noise level of 48.7 dBA LeQ.
Table 4-1 provides the (energy average) noise levels used to describe the daytime and nighttime
ambient conditions. These daytime and nighttime energy average noise levels represent the
average of all hourly noise levels observed during these time periods expressed as a single
number. Appendix 4.2 provides summary worksheets of the noise levels for each hour as well as
the minimum, maximum, Ll, L2, Ls, LB, Les, Lso, L9o, L9s, and L99 percentile noise levels observed
during the daytime and nighttime periods.
The background ambient noise levels in the Project study area are dominated by the
transportation -related noise associated the arterial roadway network. This includes the auto and
heavy truck activities on study area roadway segments near the noise level measurement
locations. The 24-hour existing noise level measurement results are shown on Table 4-1.

5 METHODS AND PROCEDURES
The following section outlines the methods and procedures used to model and analyze the noise
levels due to Project operational activities.
5.1 REFERENCE OPERATIONAL NOISE LEVELS
To estimate the Project operational noise levels, reference noise level measurements were
collected from conservatively -representative types of activities to represent the noise levels
expected with the development of the proposed Project. This section provides a description of
the reference noise level measurements shown on Table 5-1 used to estimate the Project
operational noise impacts. It is important to note that the following projected noise levels
assume the worst-case noise environment with the roof -top air conditioning units and parking
structure vehicle movements all operating continuously. These noise level impacts will likely vary
throughout the day.

Daytime" = 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; "Nighttime" = 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
5.1.1 ROOF -TOP AIR CONDITIONING UNITS
To assess the impacts created by the roof -top air conditioning units at the Project buildings,
reference noise levels measurements were taken over a four-day total duration at the Santee
Walmart on July 27th, 2015. Located at 170 Town Center Parkway in the City of Santee, the noise
level measurements describe mechanical roof -top air conditioning units on the roof of an existing
Walmart store, in addition to background noise levels from additional roof -top units. The
reference noise level represents Lennox SCA120 series 10 -ton model packaged air conditioning
units. At 5 feet from the closest roof -top air conditioning unit, the highest exterior noise level
from all four days of the measurement period was measured at 77.2 dBA Leq. Using the uniform
reference distance of 50 feet, the noise level is 57.2 dBA Leq. The operating conditions of the
reference noise level measurement reflect peak summer cooling requirements with measured
temperatures approaching 96 degrees Fahrenheit ff) with average daytime temperatures of
82°F. This reference noise level measurement is anticipated to conservatively overstate the roof-
top air conditioning unit noise levels of the Project since it represents the cooling equipment of
a larger, commercial -retail box store.

5.2.2 PARKING STRUCTURE VEHICLE MOVEMENTS
To determine the noise levels associated with parking structure vehicle movements, Urban
Crossroads collected reference noise level measurements over a 24-hour period on May 17th,
2017 at the parking lot for the Panasonic Avionics Corporation in the City of Lake Forest. The
peak hour of activity measured over the 24-hour noise level measurement period occurred
between 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., or the typical lunch hour for employees working in the area.
The measured, peak -hour reference noise level at 50 feet from the parking activity was measured
at 38.2 dBA Leq. The parking activity noise levels are mainly due to cars pulling in and out of
spaces during peak lunch hour activity and employees talking. This reference noise level
measurement is anticipated to conservatively overstate the parking structure noise levels of the
Project since it represents the parking activity associated with that of a larger, commercial office
use with a greater number of parking spaces.
5.2.3 WORST -WE PROJECT OPERATIONAL NOISE LEVELS
As previously indicated, it is important to note that the Project operational noise levels provided
in this study assume a conservative estimation of the future noise environment, with the roof-
top air conditioning units and parking structure vehicle movements all operating continuously,
and simultaneously. Moreover, this analysis assumes that the highest reference noise source
activity for all noise sources is operating every minute of every hour in a given day. Therefore,
the analysis assumes no periods of inactivity, and assumes consistent operation across both
daytime and nighttime hours. In reality, these noise level impacts will likely vary throughout the
day.
5.2 CADNAA NOISE PREDICTION MODEL
To fully describe the exterior operational noise levels from the 215 Riverside Avenue, Urban
Crossroads, Inc. developed a noise prediction model using the CadnaA (Computer Aided Noise
Abatement) computer program. CadnaA can analyze the noise level of multiple types of noise
sources and calculates the noise levels at any location using the spatially accurate Project site
plan and includes the effects of topography, buildings, and multiple barriers in its calculations
using the latest standards to predict outdoor noise impacts.
Using the spatially accurate Project site plan and flown aerial imagery from Nearmap, a CadnaA
noise prediction model of the Project study area was developed. The noise model provides a
three-dimensional representation of the Project study area using the following key data inputs:
Ground absorption;
Reflections at buildings and barriers;
Reference noise level sources by type (area, point, etc.) and noise source height;
Multiple noise receiver locations and heights;
Barrier and building heights.
12356-04 Noise Study LlFo URBAN
20 CROSSROADS
9-74
215 Riverside Avenue Noise Impact Analysis
Based on these data inputs, the CadnaA noise prediction model will calculate the distance from
each noise source to the noise receiver locations, using the ground absorption, distance, and
carrier/building attenuation inputs to provide a summary of noise level calculations at each
receiver location and the partial noise level contributions by noise source. The reference sound
power level (PWL) for the highest noise source expected at the Project site was input into the
CadnaA noise prediction model. While sound pressure levels (e.g. LQ) quantify in decibels the
intensity of given sound sources at a reference distance, sound power levels (PWL) are connected
to the sound source and are independent of distance. Sound pressure levels vary substantially
with distance from the source, and also diminish as a result of intervening obstacles and barriers,
air absorption, wind, and other factors. Sound power is the acoustical energy emitted by the
sound source and is an absolute value that is not affected by the environment.
The sound power level used in this analysis has been calibrated in the noise prediction model to
accurately describe the reference d8A L, -q noise levels. Based on the technical guidance provided
for CadnaA, (10) the reference noise source is created in a separate CadnaA noise model with a
receiver at the reference distance of the noise level measurement. The PWL of the noise source
is then adjusted in the separate CadnaA noise model until the noise level at the given reference
distance equals the measured reference noise level -
The operational noise level calculations provided in this noise study account for the distance
attenuation provided due to geometric spreading, when sound from a localized stationary source
i.e., a point source) propagates uniformly outward in a spherical pattern. Soft site conditions
are used in the operational noise analysis which result in noise levels that attenuate (or decrease)
at a rate of 7.5 dBA for each doubling of distance from a point source, given the soft ground and
vegetation between the Project site and adjacent sensitive receiver locations. Appendix 6.1
includes the CadnaA noise model inputs and calculation data.

6 OPERATIONAL IMPACTS
This section analyzes the potential operational noise levels due to the Project's stationary noise
sources at the adjacent residential and commercial receiver locations. Exhibit 6-A shows the
noise source and receiver locations used to assess the Project -related operational noise levels
generated by roof -top air conditioning units and parking structure vehicle movements. Based on
the reference noise level measurements, previously described in Section 5.1, the Project
operational stationary -source noise levels are estimated at each of the nearby receiver locations.
All operational noise level calculations include the noise barrier attenuation provided by the
planned parapet walls, Project building, existing buildings, and topography in the Project study
area, as shown on Exhibit 6-A.
Table 6-1 shows the Project -only noise levels at receiver locations R1 to R7 range from 26.7 to
48.2 dBA Leq based on the reference noise levels used in the analysis. At receiver locations R1 to
R5, which represent noise -sensitive residential uses, the Project operational noise levels range
from 26.7 to 48.2 dBA Ley, and are shown to satisfy the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code
daytime 55 dBA Lett and nighttime 50 dBA Lel exterior noise level standards For residential uses.
At receiver locations R6 and R7, which represent existing commercial uses, the Project
operational noise levels range from 37.4 to 37.9 dBA Leq, and are shown to satisfy the City of
Newport Beach Municipal Code daytime 65 dBA Leq and nighttime 66 dBA Leq exterior noise level
standards for commercial uses. Therefore, the results of the analysis show that the Project -
related operational noise levels associated with roof -top air conditioning units and parking
structure vehicle movements will satisfy the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code daytime and
nighttime base exterior noise level standards at the nearby noise -sensitive residential homes and
adjacent commercial uses. As such, no additional exterior noise abatement measures (e.g., noise
barriers) are required.

Section II Project Description
IIA Project Description
Description of Proposed Project
Development 8. All significant redevelopment projects, where significant redevelopment is
Category defined as the addition or replacement of 5,000 or more square feet of
Verbatim from c impervious surface on an already developed site. Redevelopment does not
WQMP): include routine maintenance activities that are conducted to maintain original
line and grade, hydraulic capacity, original purpose of the facility, or
emergency redevelopment activity required to protect public health and safety
If the redevelopment results in the addition or replacement of less than 50
percent of the impervious area on-site and the existing development was not
subject to WQMP requirement, the numeric sizing criteria discussed in Section
7.II-2.0 only applies to the addition or replacement area. If the addition or
replacement accounts for 50 percent or more of the impervious area, the Project
WQMP requirements apply to the entire development
Project Area (ft2): 16,290 •Number of Dwelling Units: 1 .SIC Code: 1521
i..................................................
Narrative The project consists of the following: (1) demolition of the existing building and
Project c associated parking areas; (2) construction of a new retail space along with a 2 -level
Description: parking garage and appurtenant hardscape, landscape, and drainage improvements.
Runoff from the roof and upper level parking garage will be directed to and treated
by a bioretention planter box prior to discharge. Runoff from within the basement
Ievel covered parking garage will be treated by filter inserts prior to discharge. L...."'........... ............................................................ ..........................................................

II.3 Hydrologic Conditions of Concern
Hydrologic Conditions of Concern (HCOCs) do not exist for this project since site runoff is
conveyed in a storm drain system and discharged directly into Newport Bay.
II.4 Post Development Drainage Characteristics
Post -construction surface drainage will be directed to the same ultimate discharge points as prior to
construction. Runoff from the front portion of the property will be directed to a gravel bed for
infiltration prior to discharge to the street. Runoff from the remaining portions of the site will be
collected in an area drain system and discharged into the existing street through drain box filter at
the rear of the property and then pumped up to the street for discharge. The drainage system is
shown on the Preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan and the Preliminary Water Quality
Management Plan for the project.

IV.2. SITE DESIGN AND DRAINAGE PLAN
Overview
The ultimate plan of development for the proposed project is shown on the WQMP Site Plan in
Section VI of this report. The project Precise Grading Plan shows the proposed grading, site
improvements, and retaining walls necessary for construction of a single-family residence.
Site Design Practices
The project incorporates Site Design practices as follows:
Preserve Existing Drainage Patterns and Time of Concentration - The ultimate
points of discharge are the same for the pre- and post -project conditions. Time of
concentration will be similar, since pre -and post -project flow path lengths will be
similar.
Drainage Management Areas (DMAs)
There is one (1) Drainage Management Area (DMA) for this commercial development. The
following LID BMP will be used to meet the calculated Design Volume for the DMA:
Bioretention with Underdrain (Biotreatment BMP)
DM Area (sq.
A ft.) Impervious
BMP Type Sizing
1 14,470 0.T7
BIO -1: Bioretention w/
SWQDvUnderdrain
See discussion for the selected BMP in Section IV.3.
See the WQMP Site Plan provided in Section VI of this report for DMA location and characteristics.
The GIS coordinates for all BMPs are nearIy identical at: 33.6219, -117.9237.

Use and Location
The indoor parking garage will not be directed to the Bioretention planter box for treatment. Because
it is indoor, there is no runoff tributary to this area, however, drain inlets in the garage can collect
contaminated water from cars that enter the garage. Therefore, the drains in the garage will be fitted
with treatment filters. Locations of proposed treatment control BMPs are shown on the BMP Exhibit
in Section VI.

XIV.5. Biotreatment BLIP Fact Sheets (BIO)
Conceptual criteria for biotreatment B\IP selection, design, and maintenance are contained in
Appendix Xll. 'Mese criteria are generally: applicable to the design of biotreatment BiIPs in
Orange County and BiV9P-specific guidance is provided in the following fact sheets.'' -'t
Note: 8iotreatm.ent 13MPs shall he designed to provide the maximum feasible infiltration and F,"I' based on
criteria contained in Appendix X1.2.
BIO -1: Bioretention with Underdrains
Bioretention stormwater treatment facilities are landscaped
shallow depressions that capture and filter stormwater
runoff. These facilities function as a soil and plant -based
filtration device that removes pollutants through a variety of
physical, biological, and chemical treatment processes.'I'he
facilities normally consist of a ponding area, mulch layer,
planting soils, and plants. As stormwater passes down
through the planting soil, pollutants are filtered, adsorbed,
biodegraded, and sequestered by the soil and plants.
Bioretention with an underdrain are utilized for areas with
low permeability native soils or steep slopes where the
underdrain system that routes the heated runoff to the storm
drain system rather than depending entirely on infiltration.
Bioretention must be designed without an underdrain in areas of
high soil permeability.

TECHNICAL GUIDANCE DOCUMENT APPENDICES
Bioretention with underdrain facilities should be lined if contaminant plumes or geotechnical
concerns exist. If high groundwater is the reason for infiltration infeasibility, bioretention facilities
with underdrains do not need to be lined.
Opportunity Criteria
Land use may include commercial, residential, mixed use, institutional, and subdivisions.
Bioretention may also be applied in parking lot islands, cul-de-sacs, traffic circles, road shoulders,
road medians, and next to buildings in planter boxes.
Drainage area is15 5 acres.
Area is available for infiltration.
Site must have adequate relief between land surface and the stormwater conveyance system to
permit vertical percolation through the soil media and collection and conveyance in underdrain to
stormwater conveyance system.
OC-Specirrc Design Criteria and Considerations
El greater
depth should not exceed 18 inches; fencing may be required if ponding depth is
greater than 6 inches to mitigate drowning.
The minimum soil depth is 2 feet (3 feet is preferred).
El drawdown
maximum drawdown time of the bioretention ponding area is 48 hours. The maximum
drawdown time of the planting media and gravel drainage layer is 96 hours, if applicable.
Infiltration pathways may need to be restricted due to the close proximity of roads, foundations,
or other infrastructure. A geomembrane liner, or other equivalent water proofing, may be placed
along the vertical walls to reduce lateral flows. This liner should have a minimum thickness of
30 mils.
If infiltration in bioretention location is hazardous due to groundwater or geotechnical concerns,
a geomembrane liner must be installed at the base of the bioretention facility. This liner should
have a minimum thickness of 30 mils.
ElThe planting media placed in the cell shall be designed per the recommendations contained in
MISC-1: Planting/Storage Media
Plant materials should be tolerant of summer drought, ponding fluctuations, and saturated soil
conditions for 48 hours; native place species and/or hardy cultivars that are not invasive and do
not require chemical inputs should be used to the maximum extent feasible
The bioretention area should be covered with 2-4 inches (average 3 inches) or mulch at the
start and an additional placement of 1-2 inches of mulch should be added annually.
Underdrain should be sized with a 6 inch minimum diameter and have a 0.5% minimum slope.
Underdrain should be slotted polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe; underdrain pipe should be more
than 5 feet from tree locations (if space allows).
A gravel blanket or bedding is required for the underdrain pipe(s). At least 0.5 feet of washed
aggregate must be placed below, to the top, and to the sides of the underdrain pipe(s).
An overflow device is required at the top of the bioretention area ponding depth.
Dispersed flow or energy dissipation (i.e. splash rocks) for piped inlets should be provided at
basin inlet to prevent erosion.
Ponding area side slopes shall be no steeper than 3:1 (H:V) unless designed as a planter box
BMP with appropriate consideration for trip and fall hazards.

Simple Sizing Method for Bioretention with Underdrain
If the Simple Design Capture Volume Sizing Method described in Appendix 111.3.1 is used to size a
bioretention with underdrain facility, the user selects the basin depth and then determines the appropriate
surface area to capture the DCV. The sizing steps are as follows:
Step 1: Determine DCV
Calculate the DCV using the Simple Design Capture Volume Sizing Method described in Appendix
111.3.1.
Step 2: Verify that the Ponding Depth will Draw Down within 48 Hours
The ponding area drawdown time can be calculated using the following equation:
DDp = (dp / KMEDIA) X 12 in/ft
Where:
DDp = time to drain ponded water, hours
dp = depth of ponding above bioretention area, ft (not to exceed 1.5 ft)
KMEDIA = media design infiltration rate, in/hr (equivalent to the media hydraulic conductivity with a
factor of safety of 2; KMEDIA of 2.5 in/hr should be used unless other information is available)
If the drawdown time exceeds 48 hours, adjust ponding depth and/or media infiltration rate until 48
hour drawdown time is achieved.
Step 3: Determine the Depth of Water Filtered During Design Capture Storm
The depth of water filtered during the design capture storm can be estimated as the amount routed
through the media during the storm, or the ponding depth, whichever is smaller.
dFILTERED — Minimum [ ((KNiEDIA X TROUTING)/12), dp]
Where:
dFILTERED = depth of water that may be considered to be filtered during the design storm event, ft
KNIEDIA = media design infiltration rate, in/hr (equivalent to the media hydraulic conductivity with a
factor of safety of 2; Kt,,IED,A of 2.5 in/hr should be used unless other information is available)
TRouTING = storm duration that may be assumed for routing calculations; this should be assumed to be
no greater than 3 hours. If the designer desires to account for further routing effects, the Capture
Efficiency Method for Volume -Based, Constant Drawdown BMPs (See Appendix If 1.3.2) should be
used.
dp = depth of ponding above bioretention area, ft (not to exceed 1.5 ft)
Step 4: Determine the Facility Surface Area
A = DCV/ (dp + dFILTERED)
Where:
A = required area of bioretention facility, sq -ft
DCV = design capture volume, cu -ft
dFILTERED = depth of water that may be considered to be filtered during the design storm event, ft
dp = depth of ponding above bioretention area, ft (not to exceed 1.5 ft)
In South Orange County, the provided ponding plus pore volume must be checked to demonstrate that it
is greater than 0.75 of the remaining DCV that this BMP is designed to address. See Section 111.7 and
Worksheet SOC -1.

TECHMC:\L GliiD:-\NCE DOCUMENT APPENDICES
Capture Efficiency Method for Bioretention with Underdrains
If the bioretention geometry has already been defined and the user wishes to account more explicitly for
routing, the user can determine the required footprint area using the Capture Efficiency Method for
Volume -Based, Constant Drawdown BMPs (See Appendix 111.3.2) to determine the fraction of the DCV
that must be provided to manage 80 percent of average annual runoff volume. This method accounts for
drawdown time different than 48 hours.
Step 1: Determine the drawdown time associated with the selected basin geometry
DD = (dr / KDESIGN) x 12 in/ft
Where:
DD = time to completely drain infiltration basin ponding depth, hours
dp= bioretention ponding depth, ft (should be less than or equal to 1.5 ft)
Koesicr, = design media infiltration rate, in/hr (assume 2.5 inches per hour unless otherwise proposed)
If drawdown is less than 3 hours, the drawdown time should be rounded to 3 hours or the Capture
Efficiency Method for Flow -based BMPs (See Appendix 111.3.3) shall be used.
Step 2: Determine the Required Adjusted DCV for this Drawdown Time
Use the Capture Efficiency Method for Volume -Based, Constant Drawdown BMPs (See Appendix 111.3.2)
to calculate the fraction of the DCV the basin must hold to achieve 80 percent capture of average annual
stormwater runoff volume based on the basin drawdown time calculated above.
Step 3: Determine the Basin Infiltrating Area Needed
The required infiltrating area (i.e. the surface area of the top of the media layer) can be calculated using
the following equation:
A = Design Volume / dp
Where.
A = required infiltrating area, sq -ft (measured at the media surface)
Design Volume = fraction of DCV, adjusted for drawdown, cu -ft (see Step 2)
d„ = ponding depth of water stored in bioretention area, ft (from Step 1)
This does not include the side slopes, access roads, etc. which would increase bioretention footprint. If
the area required is greater than the selected basin area. adjust surface area or adjust ponding depth and
recalculate required area until the required area is achieved.
In South Orange County, the provided ponding plus pore volume must be checked to demonstrate that it
is greater than 0.75 of the remaining DCV that this BMP is designed to address. See Section 111.7 and
Worksheet SOC -1
Configuration for Use in a Treatment Train
Bioretention areas may be preceeded in a treatment train by HSCs in the drainage area, which
would reduce the required design volume of the bioretention cell. For example. bioretention could
be used to manage overflow from a cistern.
Bioretention areas can be used to provide pretreatment for underground infiltration systems

PRC -2: Catch Basin Insert Fact Sheet
Catch basin inserts are manufactured filters or Fabric placed in
a drop inlet to remove sediment and debris and may, include
sorbcnt media (oil absorbent pouches) to remove floating oils
and grease. Catch basin inserts are selected specifically based
upon the orientation of hhe inlet and du: expected sediment
and debris loading.
Opportunity Criteria
Catch basin inserts come in such a wide range of
configurations that it is practically impossible to generalize
the expected performance. Inserts should mainly be used for
catching coarse sediments and floatable trash and are
effective as pretreatment in combination with other types of
structures that are recognized as water ualit treatment
v Drop Inlet Filters
Catch Basin, Filters
q Y
BMPs. Trash and large objects can greatly reduce the effectiveness of catch basin inserts with
respect to sediment and hydrocarbon capture.
Catch basin inserts are applicable for drainage area that include parking lots, vehicle
maintenance areas, and roadways with catch basins that discharge directly to a receiving water.
OC -Specific Design Criteria and Considerations
Frequent maintenance and the use of screens and grates to keep trash out may decrease the
likelihood of clogging and prevent obstruction and bypass of incoming flows.
Consult proprietors for specific criteria concerning the design of catch basin inserts.
Catch basin inserts can be installed with specific media for pollutants of concern.

Clean beaches
and healthy creeks,
rivers, bays, and
ocean are important to
Orange County. However,
many common activities
can lead to water pollution
if you're not careful.
Swimming pools and spas are
common in Orange County,
but they must he maintained
properly to guarantee that
chemicals aren't allowed
to enter the street, where
they can flow into the storm
drains and then into the
waterways. Unlike water in
sanitary sewers (from sinks
and, toilets), water in storm
drains is not treated before
entering our waterways.
You would never dump pool
chemicals into the ocean, so
don't let it enter the storm
drains. Follow these easy
tips to help prevent water
pollution.
FIcIp Prevent Ocean Pollution:
Tips for
Pool
Maintenance
Many pools are
plumbed to allow the
Pool to drain directly
to the sanitary sewer.
If yours is not, follow
these: instructions for
disposing of pool and
Spit water.
Acceptable and Pr- ferred
Method of Disposal
NAVhen you cannot dispose of pool water
in the sanitary sewer, the release of
dechlorinated swimming pool water is
allowed if all of these Lips are followed:
Tyle residual chlorine does not
exceed 0.1 mg/l (parts per million).
MThe pH is between 6.5 and 8.5.
Thc water is free of any unusual
coloration, dirt or algae.
IN here is no discharge of filter media
I'lirre is no discharge of acid
cleaning wastes.
Some cities may have ordinances
that do not allow pool water to be
disposed into a storm drain. Check
with your City.
How to Know if You're
Following the Standards
You can find out how much chlorine
is in your water by using a pool testing
kit. Excess chlorine can be removed
by discontinuing the use of chlorine
for a few days prior to discharge
or by purchasing dechlorinating
chemicals from a local pool supply
company. Always make sure to follow
the instructions that come with any
products you use.

Doing Your Part
By complying with these guidelines,
you will make a significant contribution
toward keeping pollutants out. of
Orange County's creeks, streams, rivers,

Purpose
The purpose of this report is to present the results of the evaluation of the water demand
analysis for the 215 Riverside Avenue project.
Project Site Location
The existing site is located in the City of Newport Beach, CA. The site is to the northwest of
the intersection of Riverside Avenue and Avon Street.
Existing Conditions
The site area is 0.4 acre. Based on our review, the existing two-story building currently
serves as office space, along with a restaurant. Sheet G7 -W of the City of Newport Beach
water atlas map shows that there is an existing 8" waterline in Avon Street along with a
12" waterline in Riverside Avenue, fronting the property. A fire hydrant flow test was
performed for a nearby project, located on WCH approximately 2,000 feet easterly from
the 215 Riverside Avenue project. A copy of the G7 -W water atlas map is included as
Attachment 1. The fire hydrant location (address) and test results are presented on the

First Floor Restaurant; 2,910 square feet (220 gal/ksf/day) = 640 gallons/day
Second Floor Office; 2,830 square feet (60 gal/ksf/day) = 170 gallons/day
Third Floor Office; 2,316 square feet (60 gal/ksf/day) = 139 gallons/day
Total Existing Water Demand = 949 gallons/day = 1.1 ac -ft per year
The water demand for the proposed development is based on IRWD demand coefficient
for commercial development. The IRWD value of 220 gallons/ksf/day was used, along
with the total area calculation of 2,772 square feet. The water demand calculations are as
follows:
2,772 square feet (220 gal/ksf/day) = 610 gallons/day
Total Proposed Water Demand = 610 gallons/day = 0.7 ac -ft per year.
Conclusion
The water demand calculations show that the proposed project will require approximately
0.7 ac -ft of water per year. This will be a reduction from the existing water demand of 1.1
ac -ft per year. It is proposed to replace the existing service with a new water service line.
The proposed new service location is shown on the Preliminary Utility Plan (Attachment 3).

Sewer Capacity Memorandum
2l- RIVERSIDE AVENUE
Newport Beach, CA June 5, 2019
Purpose
The purpose of this report is to present the results of the evaluation of the sewer capacity
analysis for the 215 Riverside Avenue project.
Project Site Location
The existing site is located in the City of Newport Beach, CA. The site is to the northwest of
the intersection of Riverside Avenue and Avon Street.
Existing Conditions
The site area is 0.4 acre. Based on our review, the existing two-story building currently
serves as office space, along with a restaurant. Based on our review of CC Appeal of PC
Approval of Use Permit for Nesai Restaurant (see Attachment 1), the following is the usage
of the existing site:
First -Floor Restaurant (107 seats)
Second Floor Office Space (2,830 square feet)
Third Floor Office Space (2,31 6 square feet)
Based on our review of the City of Newport Beach GIS sewer atlas map (see Attachment
2), it appears that the existing wastewater is directed to an existing 6" City sewer line in
Avon Street. From there, the line drains to the existing 8" sewer line in Riverside Avenue.
The line continues southerly, and becomes a 12" diameter line at the southerly end of
Riverside Avenue, and then connects to the existing Orange County Sanitation District
OCSD) sewer line in West Coast Highway (WCH).

of the new retail building. According to the Preliminary Utility Plan (see Attachment 4) the
existing sewer lateral in Avon Street will be replaced with a new lateral cleanout. The total
proposed commercial building area will be 2,772 square feet. The area calculations for
the proposed project are as follows:
Main Level:

Sewer Generation Calculations (City of Los Angeles Sewer Factors)
Since the City of Newport Beach does not have sewer generation factors for retail,
commercial, or office uses (only residential), City of Los Angeles Sewer Factors were used.
The calculations are based on the building square footage, along with a peaking factor.
The following are the sewer calculations for both existing and proposed conditions:
Existing Condition
o First Floor Restaurant; 107 seats x 30 gpd = 3,210 gpd
o Second Floor Office; 2,830 square feet x 120/1000 gpd = 340 gpd
o Third Floor Office; 2,316 square feet x 120/1000 gpd = 278 gpd
Total Average Daily Flow = (3,210+340+278) = 3,828 gpd
Peak Flow (peaking factor = 2.5): 9,570 gpd (0.0148 cfs)
Proposed Condition (commercial/retail): (50 gpd/1000 sf) x 2,772 square feet
0 139 gpd
o Peak Flow (peaking factor = 2.5): 348 gpd (0.0006 cfs)
A copy of the City of Los Angeles Sewerage Generation Factor Table is included as
Attachment 2.
Sewer Flow -Depth Calculations
The flow -depth calculations of the peak flow were prepared using FlowMaster computer
program. The flow -depth calculations shows an existing and proposed percent -full of
11 .2% and 2.5%, respectively. The calculations demonstrate that the proposed
development will not adversely impact the existing sewer system, since the percent -full of
the sewer system does not exceed 50% -full. In addition, the proposed sewer loading will
be less than the existing condition loading. The calculations are included on the following
pages.

Conclusion
The calculations presented in this memorandum show that the proposed 215 Riverside
Avenue project will not adversely impact the existing sewer system. The proposed condition
sewer loading will be less than that of the existing condition for the project site. In
addition, the depths in the existing sewer lateral of 1 1.2% -full (existing condition) or 2.5% -
full (proposed) do not exceed the City of Newport Beach design criteria of 50% -full.

FOOTNOTES TO SGFs TABLE
a) SFC rates for these facilities have historically been published in SFC ordinances.
b) Bureau of Sanitation will determine the flow based on the information given by
applicants for facilities with industrial discharge. The flow will be redetermined by
Sanitation inspectors annually based on water bills. If the actual flow exceeds the
previous year's determined flow, the applicants will be charged for the difference.
If this type of facility is exempt from an industrial discharge permit, only the domestic
SFC will be assessed.
c) The SFC for a bar shall be the sum of SFC's for all areas based on the SGF for each area
ex. fixed seat area, public table area, dancing area).
d) The determination of SGF for juice bars and coffee houses previously depended on the
extent of the actual food preparation in house, not by the types of food provided. Food is
assumed to be prepared offsite and as such, the three prior subcategories have been
consolidated.
1) SGF for no pastry baking and no food preparation is 720 gpd/I000 gr.sq.ft.
2) SGF for pastry baking only and no food preparation is 720 gpd/1000 gr.sq.ft.
3) SGF for complete food preparation is 25 gpd/seat, the same as a fast food
restaurant.
Juice bars and coffee houses do not serve any alcoholic drinks.
e) Building construction includes trailers, field offices, etc.
f) Cocktail lounge usually does not serve prepared food.
g) Cold storage facilities are categorized as follow:
1) No Sales - the cold storage facility is used only for temporary storage, no selling
is involved. For example, cold storage facilities at the harbor temporarily store
seafood until it is distributed.
2) Cold storage w/ retail sales - the primary function of this facility is to support the
wholesale/retail operation of a store, such as supermarket freezers, refrigerators,
etc.
h) Counseling centers include marriage counseling centers. alcohol/drug rehabilitation
dependency centers, nutrition centers, diet centers, etc.

0) Domestic waste is estimated at 50 gpd/1,000 square feet in addition to total process flow.
k) Bureau of Sanitation will determine if an industrial permit is needed for health spas. The
first year flow is based on 650 gpd/1000 gr.sq.ft., and the Sanitation inspectors will
redetermine the flow annually based on water bill from the previous year. The applicants
are responsible for paying the difference of SFC.
Health club/spa includes lobby area, workout floors, aerobic rooms, swimming pools,
Jacuzzi, sauna, locker rooms, showers, and restrooms. if a health club/spa has a
gymnasium type of facility, this portion should be charged separately at the gymnasium
SFC rate.

FROM: Tony Bomkamp
DATE: September 23, 2019
SUBJECT: 215 Riverside Avenue, Newport Beach: Delineation and Evaluation of
Wetland within Avon Street Right -of -Way West of Subject Property
On September 3, 2019, I conducted a site visit to examine a potential wetland in the Avon Street
right-of-way, west of the 215 Riverside Avenue project site (Exhibits 1 — Vicinity Map). During
the site visit, I conducted a delineation of wetlands as defined in the City of Newport Beach Local
Coastal Program (LCP) as well as in the California Coastal Act. I also evaluated the area to
determine whether the area that is vegetated with predominately southern cattail (Tvpha
donningensis) meets the definition of a stream pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game
Code. Finally, I evaluated the functions of the potential wetland area to determine the need for set
backs or buffers in accordance with Section 21.30B.040.0 of the City's Local Coastal Program
regarding Wetlands, Deepwater Areas, and Other Water Areas. Based on the presence of a
predominance of wetland indicator plant species and wetland hydrology indicated by the presence
of surface water I determined that a wetland is present along Avon Street. Wetland data sheets are
provided as Appendix A.
It is also important to note that during review of the City's files, additional information was found
that documents the presence of wetlands at this location. Specifically, a letter trom Dr. Jan
Vandersloot dated April 19, 1989 detailing the results of a hydrological studv of the area which
indicates that the wetland is supported by a "spring" which drains toward the west, discharging to
a culvert near the western terminus of the wetland, consistent with my observations. Dr.
Vandersloot's letter is attached as Exhibit 5. A hand -drawing of the wetland area is also included
as Exhibit 6.
WETLANDS
The right-of-way for Avon Street supports a narrow strip of wetland dominated by southern cattail
Typha domin yensis, OBL) with a few scattered arroyo willows (Salix lusiolepi.s. FACW) in the
canopy laver with an understory of saltgrass (Dislichlis spicala, FAC). that is intertwined with the
southern cattail. The extent of wetland area in the Avon Street right-of-way is depicted on Exhibit

2. The narrow strip of wetland area is bisected by two pedestrian bridges connected to sidewalks
north of Avon Street. During the September 3, 2019 site visit, water from the wetland was detected
discharging to a pipe at the west end of the wetland area beneath a dense thicket of giant reed
Arundo donax, FAC W), which appears to allow excess water in the wetland to drain. The wetland
area is restricted on the south by the Avon Street curb and on the north by a steep slope, such that
wetland area typically ranges from two to six feet in width.
In order to evaluate the need for buffers, measurements were taken beginning approximately 100
feet from the 215 Riverside Avenue property. For the entire 100 -foot wetland segment nearest the
215 Riverside Avenue Property, the wetland is dominated by southern cattail with saltgrass
understory and there are no arroyo willows within 100 feet of the 215 Riverside Avenue property.
At the eastern pedestrian bridge, as depicted on Exhibit 3, the wetland vegetation transitions from
mostly southern cattail to alkali bulrush (Schoenoplectus marilimus, OBL), which is the dominant
wetland plant east of the pedestrian bridge. The area immediately east of the bridge exhibited
surface water of one to two inches in depth, with surface water no longer present toward the eastern
extent of the alkali bulrush. As depicted on Exhibit 3, the wetland ends abruptly where the
vegetation changes to a monoculture of alkali heliotrope (Heliotropium currasavicum, FACU)
Exhibit 4, Photographs 1). The area dominated by alkali heliotrope, immediately east of the
wetland was evaluated for hydric soils and subsurface water. Neither were detected confirming
that the extent of alkali bulrush is the limit of the wetland on the east.
SECTION 1602 NOTIFCIATION REQUIREMENTS
In an email to the City dated August 23, 2019, Mr. Charles Klobe made the following assertion:
On another note the adjacent riparian areas and stream of water are absolutely
jurisdictional and the development of this site should be required to file a formal
notification with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to ensure that
CDFW also concurs that there are no impacts from the proposed development. The
site does not drain into this area however it is directly adjacent to the development
and the CDFWS could at minimum require specific on-site protection to protect
their stream.
in my professional opinion, I do not believe that the wetland within the Avon Street right-of-way
meeting the California Fish and Game Code for a "Stream"; rather, the feature is best characterized
as a "Slope wetland''. Nevertheless, this is a moot point because, as discussed below, the wetland
area is 29 feet from the closest area of impact and thus, there would be no Notification
Requirements under Section 1602 as there is no potential alteration of a streambed or lake.

WETLAND BUFFERS
As noted. during the September 3, 2019 site visit, 1 evaluated the functions of the potential wetland
area to determine the need for setbacks or buffers in accordance with Section 21.30B.040.0 of the
Local Coastal Program, which states
C. Wetland Buffers. A protective open space buffer shall be required to horizontally
separate wetlands fi-orn development areas. Wetland buffers shall be of a sufficient
size to ensure the biological integrity and preservation of the tivetland. Wetlands
shall have a mininnun buffer width of'one hundred (100) -feet wherever possible.
1. Exception: Smaller ivetlancl bakers may be allotived only where it can be
demonstrated that:
a. A one hundred (100) foot is-ide buffer is not possible dare to site-
specific constraints: and
b. The proposed nar•rotiver• buffer vi)ould be amply protective of the
biological integrity of'1he tivetland given the site-specific characteristics
of the resource and of the type and intensity of disturbance.
Existing Condition
As described above, the wetland consists of a narrow strip (typically three- to six -foot -wide)
immediately adjacent to the concrete curb along Avon Street. such that along the entire length of
wetland, Avon Street is located approximately one to two feet from the wetland edge (see Exhibit
4, Photographs 2). The northern slope vegetated with mostly non-native species including
overhanging Brazilian pepper trees (Schinus terebinthifoliars), an invasive species.' giant reed, also
an invasive species'- and non-native ornamentals such as plumbago (Plumbago ccrpensis) and blue
gum eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus), which line the majority of the slope.
As depicted on Exhibit 3, the 215 Riverside Avenue site currently contains a vacant building with
associated asphalt parking area. Immediately west of the parking area is a concrete wall that was
constructed in a manner that encroaches on to City property and will be removed as a component
of the project.
As depicted on Exhibit 3, the existing retaining wall is located approximately 29 feet from the
eastern -most extent of the wetland, which is approximately 39 feet west of the property line and
the limit of development upon completion of the project.

Purposes for Wetland Buffers
Wetland buffers are often necessary to protect or ensure the integrity/functions of wetlands with
high resource value. Wetland functions typically are separated into three areas for purpose of
evaluating functions and associated impacts: Hydrologic, Biogeochemical (Water Quality), and
Biological. Wetland buffers often are necessary to protect one or more of these functions from
degradation. The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate the potential effects of the proposed project
at 215 Riverside Avenue.
Hyd rological/Hyd rology
As noted above, the source of water detected in the wetland is from groundwater that ultimately
drains to the western -most end of the wetland, discharging to a culvert approximately 430 feet
from the eastern end of the wetland. Thus, the proposed project would have no potential to affect
the hydrology of the wetland area, which is totally dependent on a groundwater source
unconnected to the proposed project.
Wetlands also provide certain functions such as surface water storage, groundwater discharge and
support of aquatic plants and animals. The proposed project exhibits no potential for changing the
ability of the narrow wetland area to store limited amounts of surface water or groundwater
originating from the adjacent slope that discharges to the wetland area. The project would also
have no effect on the hydrology such that changes to wetland species would be caused by the
project. Other potential biological impacts are discussed below.
Biogeochemical/Water Quality
Buffers often protect wetlands from degradation of biogeochemical functions such as sediment
inputs, discharge of pollutants originating from landscaped areas, discharge of pollutants as street
runoff, or pollutants from other sources. Any potential impacts to water quality during
construction would be fully addressed through project BMPs such as silt fence, straw wattle, and
other necessary protections deten-nined in coordination with the City. In the post -project condition,
the proposed project would have no potential to impact water quality.
Biologica[/Habitat Functions
As noted above, the cattail -dominated wetland is immediately adjacent to Avon Street, typically
within a few feet of the street for its entire length as can be seen on Exhibit 4, Photographs 1 and
2. Thus, based on the existing conditions, as summarized above, the wetland exhibits very limited
functions for wildlife, given the immediate surroundings, larger urban environment, very high
edge to habitat area" ratio, and the general low -value of cattails as habitat for special -status plants
and animals. This is also the case for the area dominated by alkali bulrush east of the eastern
9-218

pedestrian bridge, which has a much lower stature than the cattails (three feet for the bulrush and
over ten feet for the cattails).
Given the low -habitat value associated with the narrow strip of cattail and alkali bulrush, the
proposed project at 215 Riverside Avenue would have no potential for indirect impacts on
biological resources (as noted above, temporary grading would be approximately 29 feet from the
eastern edge of the wetland) and in the final project, any potential development would be 39 feet
from the wetland which is identical to the existing condition.
Thus, in the final project configuration, there would be no development within 39 feet of the
wetland, identical to the current conditions. The 39 -foot set back in the final configuration would
provide more than adequate protection of the wetland, given that it is of low value and within one
or two feet from Avon Street for the entire length.
CONCLUSIONS
The Avon Street Wetland is a slope wetland or groundwater fed wetland that has been documented
at this location since at least 1989. The proposed development at 215 Riverside Avenue would
have no potential to affect the wetland directly through dredging, filling, or other alteration. The
proposed development would not affect the functions of the wetland which is located as close as
two feet from Avon Street along its entire length, limiting the wetland functions. The proposed
development has no potential to affect the wetland hydrology, which consists of discharging
groundwater. The proposed project also exhibits no potential to affect biogeochemical (water
quality) functions and would not affect potential habitat functions. Thus, the proposed
development has not potential to adversely affect the Avon Street Wetland.

ct° n i tanning Dir. Re: Avon Street Creek Frri;ce Chief
Diram
Dear Mayor Strauss, and City Council Members, Wien s
I wish to thank the City of Newport Beach for abandoning` the
proposed parking lot along Avon Street, which would have destroyed
the wetland along the street known as Avon Street Creek.
However, there now appears to be another threat to this
wetland which deserves your attention. Orange County Vector Control,
apparently concerned about mosquitoes, has recently been asking the
Public Works Department to clear out the vegetation in the wetland.
It appears that there is presently not enough water in certain areas
of the creek to support the mosquito fish which eat the mosquito
larvae. In the past, the City has routinely removed vegetation in the
creek with a backhoe, indiscriminately removing all. vegetation every
year or so.
Before authorizing this drastic step, however, I would like to
request that the City hold off on the backhoe until our citizen's
group, the Friends of Avon Street Creek, can meet and devise a plan
to present to the City to protect and enhance the wetland vegetation,
while restoring the water needed for the mosquito fish.
The problem is basically twofold. One is that vegetation has
grown to the point of crowding out the water, and needs to be thinned
out. The other problem is that the recently completed storm drain
under Avon Street is diverting ground water which normally would
surface in the creek alongside the road, providing the water sourceforthecreek. This diversion of water, approximately 22 gallons a
minute of crystal clear fresh water, can be measured at the main rear
entrance of the Newport Imports dealership at the manhole there.
The water from the artesian springs uncovered by the construction
of the storm drain is now largely being lost into the storm drain
pipes, due to the leaky nature of the storm drains.
The result is that before the storm drain construction, water
flowed in the creek at the second set of stairs going up the west side
of Cliff Drive Park at between 2 and 5 gallons a minute as measured by
my geology consultants. After the storm drain, the soil is merelydampatthispoint, although thecmek flows at its normal rate of
about 3 gallons a minute at the western terminus of the creek.
Because of these changes, we would like to be given the opportunitytoanalyzealternativesdesignedtorestorewatertothecreek. These
alternatives range from elevating the drain pipes at the west end of

of the creek, so that the water level is increased throughout the
wetland (due to the positive pressure nature of the artesian springswhichfeedthecreek, water height in the creek can be adjusted byraisingorloweringthedrainageoutletsofthecreekatitswestern
end. The springs will keep pumping water up to the level of drainage.
If the drainage is blocked, flooding of the area occurs, which is
what happened last Spring when a worker bulldozed over the drain pipe. The drain at the western end, if raised two feet, will raise the waterlevelinthemiddleofthecreek, where it is now needed). Water can
also be restored into the creek by dredging down closer to thewatertable. Water can also be brought up from the water table by apump, which might actually be cheaper to maintain than regular andrepeatedbackhoeoperations (the Environmental Nature Center also usesapumptocirculatewater, although it has to purchase its water,
while here it is free and available).
In any case, a well thought out plan should be considered andanalyzed, then implemented, rather than allowing precipitous and
indiscriminate removal of vegetation as requested by Vector Control.
I would like to request that the Public Works Department and the
General Services Department not be authorized to remove the vegetation
until our group can work with the City in devising an alternative plan.
In addition, I would also recommend that since the Department of
Fish and Game has determined that this area represents a wetland,
and since this wetland lies within the Coastal Zone, that a CoastalPermitbeappliedfor, before indiscriminate disruption of the floraandfaunainthecreek.
In this same regard, and since the status of this area as a
wetland is disputed by some of the City's staff, I would like to
request that the City initiate the proper procedures to determine
once and for all that this area is indeed a wetland, so that in thefuture, this wetland will receive the normal official protections
that heretofore have been lacking.
Thank you.

NEWPORT BEACH — A 40-

The env ironmentnlists say the

And somewhere within the near

35 years, the wetlands strip has

Ilia sentiments are shared by
Jan Vandersloot, leader of a pro -
lest group that has named itself
Friends of the Avon Street Wet-
lands.
Vanderaloot, a Newport Heights
resident, has commisafoned blolog-
ical and geological assessments of
the Avon Street area and cliff site.
The results of a study by biological
consultant Karlin Marsh confirm
Vanderoloot's notion that the area,
though small, is a natural wetlands
area — a remaining piece of histor-
ic wetlands once extensive In the
Newport Beach area.
The (freshwater) wetland is
small, flat it's nice, and quite un-
usual in something as intensely de-
veloped on area as Newport
Heights," Marsh said.
It's a reminder of what used to
be. ... the last of its kind. That
makes it special."
It has a good assortment of
plants and animals within the en-
vironment ... aquatic insects -
butterflies nectaring on flowers
the watercress is coming into
bloom..., It's functioning as a for-
aging source and a source of water
of animals and birds," Marsh said.
I'm not a hydrologist," Marsh
said, "but I observed what ap-
Ef"ared to be spring -fed seepageIothatlittlecreek, movement
from where it spring seemed to be
entering it." Wherever that water
comes from, Marsh sold, "It's not
surface runoff."
City officials in the planning and
Public Works departments think
otherwise. They say the water
comes from urban runoff _ the
residue of watering lawns in New-
port Heights mixed with is high wa.
ter table.
The city also received contrary
biological information from a
study it commissioned. 'Mat re-
port, by Hnnen Swfraky of Michael
Brandmmt Associates, found stag-
nant water intend of moving wa-
ter on the Avon Street waterway
and said the urea did not represent
a significant biological resource.
