PUBLIC NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY
Draft Environmental Impact Report SCH No. 2010051094
Project Title & Location: Uptown Newport (PA2011-134). The 25.05-acre project site is within the Airport
Business Area of the City of Newport Beach and located on the north side of Jamboree Road, at 4311-4321
Jamboree Road, which is west of MacArthur Boulevard and east of Birch Street.
Project Description: The proposed Uptown Newport project consists of the removal of existing office and industrial
uses overtime in two primary phases and the construction of a mixed use community consisting of 1,244 residential
units, 11,500 square feet of neighborhood-serving retail space, and approximately two acres of park space.
Residential product types would be for-sale and rental with a mix of townhomes, mid- and high-rise condominiums.
Of the 1,224 housing units, 184 units would be set aside for affordable housing. Proposed buildings would range
from 30 feet to 75 feet in height; with several residential towers up to 150 feet high.. Vehicular access to the site
would be from Jamboree Road, Birch Street, and Von Karman Avenue.
The project approval requires a Planned Community Development Plan amendment and adoption, Tentative Tract
Map, Development Agreement, Traffic Study, Affordable Housing Implementation Plan, Phasing Plan and Design
Guidelines. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City of Newport Beach has prepared
a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the project. The Draft EIR indicates there may be significant
unavoidable adverse environmental impacts associated with three environmental categories: short-term,
construction-related air quality impacts; land use impacts related to a determination of consistency with the Airport
Environs Land Use Plan by the Airport Land Use Commission; and short-term, construction-related noise impacts.
Upon compliance with regulatory requirements and recommended mitigation measures (as appropriate), all other
environmental impacts were found to be less than significant.
Review Period: The DEIR will be available for a 45-day public review period beginning on Monday, September 10,
2012. All interested parties are invited to submit written comments or via email on the DEIR through the close of
business on October 24, 2012.
