Subject Annual Report for Development Agreement DA 2010-005
Newport Beach Country Club
Tennis Club, Spa, Villas and Bungalows - Tract 15347
Dear Rosalinh,
Pursuant to Section 7 of Development Agreement DA2010-005, an Annual Report is required for the
Newport Beach Country Club Planned Community (PC) to provide an accurate record of the development
that has been approved on the Tennis Club Site, which consists of The Villas Sub-Area, The Tennis Club
Sub-Area and The Bungalows. This Annual Report documents Golf Realty Fund’s (GRF) compliance with
the Development Agreement from March 2012 to March 2017.
Entitlement Approvals
On March 27, 2012, the City Council approved the redevelopment of Tennis Club Site which consisted of
removal of some existing tennis facilities, construction of new site infrastructure, parking, clubhouse
buildings, pool, tennis stadium court, residential villas and bungalows as depicted on Tentative Tract Map
15347.
On August 28, 2012, a Coastal Development Permit No. 5-12-160 application was filed with the California
Coastal Commission (CCC). It was approved on April 10, 2013 and a Notice of Intent (NOT) to issue the
permit was published.
On April 10, 2015 (2 years after the CCC approved project) the (NOT) expired.
In October of 2015 the CCC issued a one-year time extension for the CDP for the proposed development.
The Notice of Intent expired a second time on April 10, 2016.
GRF requested a second extension of the CDP from the CCC. The CCC delayed processing this request
because it was nearing the end of long process of approving a Local Coastal Plan (LCP) for the City of
Newport Beach that would allow the City to issue CDPs within its LCP area.
In 2017, the CCC approved the City of Newport Beach’s LCP and instructed GRF to redirect its request
for an extension to the City. When that request was made, the City determined that it could not ‘extend’
the CDP because it was not the agency that issued it originally and they directed GRF to re-apply for the
CDP from the City.
GRF is currently working with the City for the re-approval of the CDP Notice of Intent and ultimately the
issuance of the Coast Development Permit. GRF anticipates that the approval process will be expedited
and result in substantially the same approval and conditions as the original CDP issued by the CCC.

No Change to Project Since Entitlement
There has been no significant change in the project planning or details since Tentative Map 15347 and
the related support documents were approved.
Subdivision Mapping
A Final Tract Map for Tract 15347 has been submitted to the City and County for final review, approval
and recordation. This will facilitate the subdivision and construction of the residential Villas each upon a
separate legal lot.
A Tentative Parcel Map 2016-151 for Finance and Conveyance was approved by the City on
1/26/2017. This Parcel Map allows parcels to be separately financed or sold but it does not create or
change any development rights. A Final Parcel 2016-151 has been submitted concurrently to the City
and County for final review, approval and recordation.
Site Improvements
Site Improvement Plans have been completed and are ready for submittal and review for the entire site
infrastructure inclusive of Demolition, Grading, Erosion Control, Drainage, Water Quality, Water, Sewer,
Street and Parking and the Precise Grading of the decorative hardscape and landscaping around the
tennis club and spa.

It is anticipated that the construction of the initial temporary club facility, demolition, grading and
infrastructure will be commenced by the end of July 2017.
