Phase III Site Development Permit for DA 2C-9/PA 14 Page 1
' A. INTRODUCTION
Purpose
A Site Development Permit is requested for the combined residential development area consisting
of Irvine Coast Planned Community (ICPC) Development Area 2C-9 and San Joaquin Hills
Planned Community (SJHPC) Planning Area 14, located along the northern side of Ridge Park
Road, as indicated by Exhibit 1, Project Location Map. This area represents the first
development project within the approved Newport Coast Phase III CDP/SDP.
The combined CDP/SDP for the Newport Coast Phase III development projects (PA 94-0149)
was approved by the Orange County Planning Commission on June 27, 1995 (Resolution No. 95-
13). Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 14786 was subsequently approved on June 28, 1995 by
the Orange County Subdivision Committee. The project was later re -approved by the Orange
County Board of Supervisors with their denial of an appeal on August 8, 1995 (Resolution No.
95-597).
The above stated project approvals provided for the construction of a total of 635 dwelling units
on lots ranging in size from 4,000 to 8,000-square feet and all associated infrastructure on a
combined total of approximately 361-acres (gross). The residential project area consists of
292.4-acres (gross), excluding Signal Peak facilities in DA 2C-10 and the Community Park in
DA 2C-8. The total number of units approved as well as the project density of 2.2 dwelling
units per acre fall far below the Medium -High Density Residential land use category which
ranges from 3.5 to 6.5 dwelling units per acre. Additionally, the recreation/open space
component of the approved project totals approximately 50-acres (gross), excluding the 12.5-acre
active recreation and view park located adjacent to the existing IRWD reservoir site along Vista
Ridge Road in DA 2C-8.
This submittal is the result of design modifications that better represent the marketing program of
' the builder, California Pacific Homes, and also responds to more detailed engineering
information now available for the ICPC DA 2C-9/SJHPC PA 14 site. Approval of this Site
Development Permit will allow for the following modifications to the approved CDP/SDP (PA
94-0149) Site Development Plans:
❑ Provide for minor adjustments (1.1-acre total) in the Planning Area boundaries between
ICPC PAs 8 and 2C and SJHPC PAs 13, 14 and 19;
❑ Substitute amended Site Development, Grading and Landscape/Fuel Modification Plans for
ICPC DA 2C-9/SJHPC PA 14;
❑ Implement a process for tracking ongoing minor modifications to the approved CDP/SDP;
❑ Reduce ICPC DA 2C-9 by 1 unit; resulting in 489 total units within PA 2C;
❑ Increase SJHPC PA 14 by 1 unit from 63 units to 64 units; well under the permitted
maximum of 89 units;
❑ Provide for revisions to the design of the gated community entrance;
❑ Provide for the inclusion of a community recreation area, including improvements such as
a swimming pool, restrooms, sun deck and barbecue areas; and

Phase III Site Development Permit for DA 2C-9/PA 14 Page 2
❑ Provide an adequate level of detail to permit the re -subdivision of the ICPC DA 2C-
9/SJHPC PA 14 portion of Tentative Tract Map No. 14786 with the lotting and
construction shown on Tentative Tract Map No. 15078 (which is being processed
concurrently as a separate and distinct entitlement document and is included in the
appendices of this document for reference purposes only).
This document has been prepared to be consistent with the CDP/SDP and to
previously -approved
meet the requirements for a Site Development Permit, as set forth in The Irvine Coast Local
Coastal Program (LCP), Chapter H-10-13 and San Joaquin Hills Planned Community Program,
Chapter X. It is intended to provide the Director, Orange County Environmental Management
Agency, with the necessary information to permit the above listed refinements to the approved
CDP/SDP (PA 94-0149).
Existing Conditions
The topography of the site is comprised primarily of hilly terrain that has been partially modified
by the grading and construction activities of the IRWD Reservoirs at Signal Peak and, more
recently, by the construction of Ridge Park Road.
Ongoing Tracking Procedures
Although the Phase III CDP/SDP was processed and approved as a comprehensive plan of
development for the combined 361-acre project area, because it has been divided into as many as
�. 16 planning areas/development areas to allow for the greatest opportunity to provide a variety of
different land uses/project types, it is likely that a number of minor modifications to the approved
development plan will be proposed prior to project build -out. These refinements will be
processed pursuant to Orange County Zoning Code Section 7-9-150.3 (h) which provides Orange
County EMA staff with some flexibility to determine if the proposed changes are in substantial
conformance with the previously -approved discretionary action.
To facilitate the orderly development of the project and provide a means for review of any
proposed plan modifications in the context of the overall project approval, a 1 " =200'-scale
Master Development Plan has been provided. This plan is intended to provide a comprehensive
picture of the proposed Site and Grading Plan refinements by placing them in the context of the
,original approval. In addition, a revision block is provided to document descriptions of the
ongoing plan revisions, a revised Project Statistical Summary (if appropriate) and any appropriate
EMA project administrative references. It is anticipated that at the time any request to modify
the approved CDP/SDP plans is made, the submittal would be accompanied within an updated
Master Development Plan. In this way, County staff and the landowner will be better able to
ensure the consistency of any proposed refinements with the original approval.
Also, consistent with the approach for tracking ongoing refinements to the approved CDP/SDP, a
similar method is proposed for monitoring progressive changes to the approved Tentative Tract
Map No. 14786. A Master Community Subdivision Map will be provided to EMA Subdivision
staff to demonstrate the compatibility and consistency between subsequently prepared maps
intended to replace subareas of the originally approved Tentative Tract Map No. 14786.

B. CURRENT PLAN DESCRIPTION
' The Site Development, Grading, and Landscape/Fuel Modification Plans associated with this Site
Development Permit replace the previously approved CDP/SDP (PA 94-0149) for ICPC DA 2C-
9 and SJHPC PA 14. The refinements provided herein offer a level of detail which is consistent
with the originally approved CDP/SDP. Additionally, the proposed refinements enhance the
design of this residential development by providing an important community recreation amenity
while maintaining the approved densities.

The Site Development Plan, Exhibit 2, has been modified to provide the residential units
with enhanced view opportunities and a private community recreation complex. In so
doing, 1 unit was eliminated from ICPC DA 2C-9 and 1 unit was added to SJHPC PA 14.
The Site Development Plan also reflects minor adjustments to the boundaries of ICPC
Planning Areas 2C and 8, as well as SJHPC Planning Areas 13, 14 and 19. These
adjustments increase the overall site area of the Phase III projects by 0.5 acre. ICPC DA
2C-9 increased by 0.8 acre, which is offset by a corresponding decrease within ICPC PA
8. Additionally, SJHPC PA 14 decreased in size by 0.3 acre while PA 13 increased by the
same amount. Although the boundaries for SJHPC PA 19 have been modified, the area
remains at 1.0 acre, as approved. These modifications are reflected in the updated Phase
III Project Statistical Summary, Table A, the Irvine Coast Planned Community Statistical
Table — Tenth Revision, Table B, and the San Joaquin Hills Planned Community
Statistical Table — Second Revision, Table C'.
As noted on the updated Phase III Project Statistical Table, ICPC DA ZC-9 now provides
25 residential units on 8.6 acres for a density of 2.9 dwellings per acre. The overall
density for ICPC Planning Area 2C remains unchanged at 1.9 dwellings per acre. SJHPC
PA 14 maintains the approved overall density of 2.4 dwellings per acre with the increased
unit and acreage. The total of 64 residential units is within the permitted maximum of 89
units.
The Site Development Plan reflects modifications to the street patterns, which now consist
of a series of short cul-de-sac streets. These private streets maintain the previously
approved widths and will be constructed in a manner consistent with the Irvine Coast,
Master CDP and Orange County street standards or approved deviations.
Community Recreation Center
A private community recreation complex including a pool, spa and a structure which
provides showers, restrooms and the pool equipment has been incorporated into the revised,
Development Plan. This facility, located at the intersection of the project entry street and
the primary cul-de-sac street, encompasses a total of 0.27 acre and provides a prominent
' Although the statistics in this table reflect the current planning area acres, this table was not previously updated to indicate the
approved Phase III acres. Therefore, the increase in PA 13 and decrease in PA 14 does not coincide with the descriptions above.

visual amen for the community. Exhibit 3 Recreation Center/En Plaza Detail Plan
t3'Center/Entry ,
diagrams the recreational facilities proposed with this SDP.
The architectural character of the recreation center building reflects the LCP-approved
Mediterranean style, incorporating a color palette for the building materials consistent
throughout the development area. The floor plan and elevations for this structure are
shown on Exhibit 4, Recreation Center Floor Plans/Elevations. Consistent with the
certified LCP, the building does not exceed 35-feet in height.
,. Entry Plan
The entry plaza diagrammed on Exhibit 3, Recreation Center/Entry Plaza, has been
redesigned to reflect an informal character, departing from the formal, walled entry
courtyard typical within the Irvine Coast Planned Community. The walled courtyard has
been replaced with a softly bulbed entry drive which incorporates enriched paving materials
and is reinforced with plant materials demonstrating a layering effect. This revised entry
complements the informal, gated entries approved along Ridge Park Road and Vista Ridge
Road.
The entryincorporates vehicular and pedestrian ornamental iron gates which will be
rP P
operated by an electronic key. A knock -box for emergency personnel access is included.
The gatehouse has been replaced with thematic pilasters and walls that incorporate signage
specific to this development project, as shown on Exhibit 5, Entry Plaza Elevation/
Sections.
Model Complex
The refinements to the Site Development Plan have prompted the relocation of the model
complex. Although it is still located within the ICPC DA 2C-9 portion of the project, it is
now across from the community recreation center, as shown on Exhibit 6, Model
Complex. Consistent with the approved CDP/SDP, the model complex includes three
residential units connected by a sidewalk. The sales office is located in the garage of the
unit adjacent to the temporary parking area which provides 11 parking spaces, one of
which is handicap accessible. Flags, temporary signs and 42-inch high tubular steel trap
fences will assist the sales efforts.
An interim structure consisting of a temporary modular trailer, may be installed prior to
the completion of the model homes to assist the sales efforts. This facility will be located
adjacent to the temporary parking lot and maintain the size and characteristics as indicated
on Exhibit 6a, Temporary Sales Trailer. This facility is not intended to replace the
construction of the model homes and will be removed from the site as soon as they are
complete.
Elevations of the proposed signs and flagpole are provided on Exhibit 6b, Model Complex
Signs. The locations of these features is identified on Exhibit 6, Model Complex.

2. Grading Plan
The Grading Plan for ICPC DA 2C-9 and SJHPC PA 14, Exhibit 7, reflects the grading
currently proposed for this combined development area and incorporates the refinements
' shown on the Site Development Plan. The most significant modifications proposed by this
SDP to the approved Grading Plan include an expansion to the limits of grading (both
development related and remedial grading) and a lowering of the western portion of the site
which corresponds with an increase in the proposed elevations in the eastern portion of the
' site. The lowering in the west enhances the view opportunities throughout the site as the
elevations step up towards the eastern project boundary. The expansion of the grading
activities occurs primarily along the northern boundary and the newly expanded western
' edge. The new limits of grading extend into SJHPC PA 13 and beyond the .planned
community boundary to the north which is acceptable to The Irvine Company, the adjacent
landowner for both areas. The expansion into PA 13 is highlighted in the Grading Plan,
' Exhibit 7.
The grading for this residential development project will occur in two separate operations.
The first mass grade phase will be done in conjunction with other adjacent development
areas within the approved CDP/SDP and will provide a graded site with large pads. The
second phase will create the elevations as indicated on the Grading Plan, Exhibit 7.
' As in the approved CDP/SDP, contour grading techniques will be utilized to maintain a
gradual transition between the manufactured and natural slopes and all grading activities
will be completed in a manner consistent with the Irvine Coast LCP, Master CDP, Special
Provisions of the San Joaquin Hills Planned Community Program, the Orange County
Grading and Excavation Code and the Orange County Grading Manual.
'
Exhibit 7 also represents the key map for the five sections provided on Exhibit 8, Site
Development Sections, which illustrate the relationship of the proposed refinements .to the
natural contours. The three sections in the approved CDP/SDP that reflected the
development in this area, Sections B-B, C-C and D-D, have been revised to reflect the
proposed refinements. Two additional sections have been incorporated (Section 1 and
Section 2) to better illustrate the expanded areas of grading relative to these proposed
'
refinements.
The following is a summarization of the revised sections compared to the previously
approved plan.
Section B-B: The proposed pad elevations are higher than the previously -approved
plan.
Section C-C: The proposed refinements are lower at the western edge while closely
resembling the grading relationships of the approved CDP/SDP near the
entry plaza.
Section D-D: The proposed refinements closely resemble the elevations presented in
'
the approved CDP/SDP.

' The combined Landscape and Fuel Modification Plan for ICPC DA 2C-9 and SJHPC PA
14, Exhibit 9, refines and expands the landscape components expressed in the approved
CDP/SDP by incorporating a revised gated entry courtyard, a pedestrian sidewalk
extending from the most southerly cul-de-sac to the sidewalk along Ridge Park Road and
revised fuel modification areas which reflect the currently proposed residential lot,
boundaries.
' The Landscape Plan provides screening with vertical accent trees for both the 11-foot
retaining wall at the eastern edge and the 18-foot loffelstein wall along the northern edge of
the project. Plan materials will also be incorporated into the loffelstein wall to further
soften the impact of this structure. Additionally, refined planting concepts for the .
manufactured slopes and trees within the front yards are included to provide neighborhood
continuity.
Exhibit 10, Landscape/Fuel Modifications Sections, describes typical planting concepts for
' the manufactured slopes and the fuel modification zones along with identification of the
maintenance responsibility for these areas.
The Landscape/Fuel Modification Plan maintains the approved Mediterranean character in
that the landscape employs a rich layering of plant materials and is comprised of a simple
palette of trees and shrubs that serves to unify the separate neighborhoods into a cohesive
' community. The Proposed Plant List, Table D, reflects the proposed landscape plantings
which are in addition to those identified in the approved CDP/SDP. These refinements do
not propose any modifications to the Plant List for Fuel Modification Zones, Table 2-C
' within the previously -approved CDP/SDP.
4. Architectural Plans
The approved CDP/SDP included four floor plans with only one, Plan 4, providing a 3-car
garage. Plan 4, which also incorporated a 10-foot elevation split, has been deleted while
Plans 1, 2 and 3 remain unchanged, except that they now provide an alternate plan that
includes the 3-car garage, in addition to the 2-car garage version. The original plans and
alternates along with front elevations are included with Exhibits 11, 12 and 13. The side
' and rear elevations did not change.
Consistent with the approved CDP/SDP, the proposed refinements maintain the approved
Mediterranean style of the architecture and the approved building heights, which are
restricted to 35-feet maximum.
The mixture of architectural plans to be constructed has been revised as shown on the Site
Development Plan, Exhibit 2, reflecting the deletion of Plan 4 and the addition of the 3-car
garage option.

This Administrative Site Development Permit, for residential Development Area 2C-9 of the Irvine Coast Planned Community and residential
Planning Area 14 of the San Joaquin Hills Planned Community, proposes refinements to the previously approved Coastal Development
Permit (PA 94-0149) for the Irvine Coast to include:
• Expansion of this development project by 0.9 acres;
• One additional residential unit in SJHPC PA 14 for a total of 64;
• One less residential unit in ICPC DA 2C-9 for a total of 25;
• Site Plan refinements to lot lines and street alignments;
• Refinements to the Grading Plan to incorporate Site Plan Revisions and enhanced view opportunities;
• Modifications to the gated entry courtyard and the Landscape/Fuel Modification Plan; and
• The addition of a community recreation center within SJHPC PA 14.
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS:
Portions of the site have been modified by the grading and construction of Vista Ridge Road, the IRWD's Zone 4 Reservoir, the 6.8 acre
signal transmission towers site and the adjacent residential development in Planning Area 213-3. The IRWD Zone G and-6 Reservoirs are
currently under construction. Additionally, the site has been modified by construction of an SCE utility access road into Los Trancos
Canyon. The SJHPC portion of the project is currently undeveloped except for temporary improvements such as dirt access and fire.roads.

Conceptual Fire Fuel Modification Plan
Tract 15078 County of Orange
Signature of Approval
Dear Page:
April 12, 1996
I Subsequent to your acknowledgment of the Conceptual Fire Fuel Modification Plan for Tract
15078 in the County of Orange on November 8, 1995, modifications were made to the Tract
15078 site plan. A meeting was held April 4, 1996 to present these changes to you and to discuss
Orange County Fire Authority issues affected by these changes.
The following issues were discussed in the April 4, 1996 meeting regarding the site plan
modifications.
Loffel Wall: As discussed in the meeting, the proposed Loffel wall is ± sixteen feet (161) tall. It
was agreed that the twenty foot (20') non-combustible setback zone would begin from the back
of the concrete bench drain atop of the Loffel wall and extend twenty feet (20') to the dwelling
unit (see attached Exhibit). The Loffel wall will be planted with an evergreen vine which resists
dead undergrowth and a possible fire hazard. Tempered glass was discussed as an acceptable
wall material meeting O.C.F.A. guidelines. Ten foot (10') wide gates will be provided at each
0 maintenance access for truck entrance provisions.

Fire Fuel Modification Maintenance Access: Fire Fuel Modification Maintenance Access is
provided every five hundred feet (500') with the exception of one (1), seven hundred foot (700')
access separation constituted by 2:1 manufactured slopes at the development edge near Ridge
Park Road.

Temporary Fire Safe Zone: A temporary fire safe zone will occur on the west end of Tract
15078 above the adjacent development if the permanent slopes have not been graded and
installed. The temporary fire safe zone will extend from the back of the dwelling units one
hundred feet (100') down the slope as directed by yourself. The zone will be planted with an
O.C.F.A. approved hydroseed, shrub and tree palette and will be temporarily irrigated.
Permanent irrigation and planting will be installed as approved by the O.C.F.A.
Street Widths: All double loaded streets will be thirty-six feet (36') wide. `B' Street between
`A' and `C' Streets, `F' and `G' Streets will have thirty-two foot (32') wide streets with parking
on one (1) side. Fire hydrants will be located on non -parking sides of the street and no parking
signs per O.C.F.A. standards.
Fire Fuel Modification Zone: The fifty foot (50') wet zone immediately behind the development
area will be permanently irrigated and planted with O.C.F.A. approved plant material. The one
hundred foot (100') dry zone, below the wet zone, will consists of two (2), fifty foot (50')
thinning zones as specified in the O.C.F.A. guidelines.
Interior Slopes: The interior slopes will be permanently irrigated and planted with an
ornamental plant palette meeting O.C.F.A. guidelines.
Plan Notes: A note will be added to the Landscape Plans indicating that dimensions for the fire
fuel modification zones are shown in plan view and the contractor is responsible for calculating
the slope factor when measuring the distance in the field to achieve the required distance for each
zone.

FILE: PA 96-0065
SUBJECT: Planning Application PA 96-0065 for Site Development Permit within
Planning Area 14 of the San Joaquin Hills Planned Community; and,
Site Development Permit within Development Area 2C-9 of the Irvine
Coast Planned Community Local Coastal Program.
APPLICANT: California Pacific Homes, developer
Coastal Community Builders, land owner
I. NATURE OF PROJECT:
A revision to previously approved Planning Application PA 94-0149 which is
a Site Development Permit (SDP) and a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) for
the 360 acre, 635 dwelling unit Phase III Irvine Coast Planned Community.
Phase III approval includes development within San Joaquin Hills Planned
Community (SJHPC) Planning Areas (PA)s 14, 15, 19 and 20; and, the Irvine
Coast Planned Community/Local Coastal Program (ICPC) PAs 2C, 6 and 12D. PA
94-0149 was approved by the Planning Commission on June 27, 1995 and by the
Board of Supervisors on August 8, 1995. The Site Development Permit and
Coastal Development Permit were approved as "construction level" permits
which allows construction of all the infrastructure and the 635 homes
within the SJHPC/ICPC Phase III development area.
The revision requested by this Planning Application is the 28.4 acre
portion of Phase III covering Planning Area 14 of the SJHPC and Development
Area (DA) 2C-9 of ICPC. The original approval permitted tract map
approval, landscaping, grading and the construction of 63 single-family
detacheddetached homes in the SJHPC portion and 26 single-family detached homes in
the ICPC portion. The proposed revision includes the following changes
and/or modifications:
1. Provide for minor adjustments (1.1 acre total) in the Planning
Area boundaries between ICPC PAs 8 and 2C and SJHPC PA 13, 14 and
19.
2. Associated revisions to the approved grading, landscaping and fuel
modification plans.
3. Implement a process for tracking ongoing minor modification to the
approved CDP/SDP.
PA 96-0065
Page 2 of 4
4. Reduce the number of dwelling units in ICPC DA 2C-9 by one unit
from 26 to 25. The total number of dwelling units in PA 2C is
reduced by one unit to 489.
5. Increase the number of dwelling units in SJHPC PA 14 by one unit
from 63 to 64. The maximum number of dwelling units permitted in
this PA is 89.
6. Modifications to lot lines and street alignments.
7. Revision of the gated entrance. The major change includes the
deletion of the manned gate house to an unmanned gate.
8. Add a new private recreation area (within SJHPC PA 14) including:
a swimming pool, restrooms, sun deck and barbecue areas.
9. New location of model homes sales complex.
10. Approval of the above changes will allow for the necessary
revision to TT 14786 (the overall Phase III tract map) by TT 15078
(the ICPC DA 2C-9/ SJHPC PA 14 tract map).
The project site is located in the northern section of the Irvine Coast
Planned Community, approximately 1,500 feet west of the intersection of
Newport Coast Drive and San Joaquin Hills Road on the north side of Ridge
Park Road. While a portion of this project is in the Coastal Zone, a
Coastal Development Permit is not required for that portion of the project
within the ICPC DA 2C-9. Since the original Coastal Development Permit for
the ICPC was a construction level permit, the Irvine Coast Master Coastal
Development Permit allows technical amendments and revisions to an approved
construction level Coastal Development Permit to be revised through the
approval of a Site Development Permit.
II. REFERENCE: (Authority for Administrative action is given by what
ordinance, regulation, etc.)
Orange County Zoning Code section 7-9-150 "Discretionary Permits and
Procedures" and the development regulations from:
1. First Amendment - Irvine Coast Planned Community/Local Coastal Program;
2. Irvine Coast Master Coastal Development Permit (as amended); and,
3. First Amendment - San Joaquin Hills Planned Community.

35. The portion of the CDP encompassing the proposed
residential housing project within a portion of Planning
Area 6 is consistent with LCP Site Development Standard
Provisions (LCP II-4-C-6) in that:
a. Although the density within Development Area 6-1 is
3.7 dwelling units per acres, the LCP policies
specify that the Planning Area density is based
upon the total gross acres within the Planning
Area. The overall gross density of 0.3 dwellings
per acre is consistent with the Low Density
Residential Land Use Category.
36. The proposed alternative development standard for
Development Area 6-1 is consistent with LCP Residential
'Policies Section I-4-D-4 addressing development. within
Muddy Canyon (PA 6) in that:
a. To protect the visual and habitat resources of
Muddy Canyon, residential development is limited to
a maximum of 75 single-family dwelling units and
requires a public hearing;
b. Although the proposed building site area of the
alternative development standard is smaller than
the 30,000 square feet minimum average established
for PA 6, the smaller lots allow these residential
units to be clustered adjacent to ICPC PA 2C and
SJHPC PA 15 as an extension of the development
proposed in PA 2C. This clustering allows for a
greater residential setback from Crystal Cove State
Park;
C�
u
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 95-13
PA 94-0149 -- FINDINGS
Page 11
c . Access to PA 6 will be from the network of local
roadways within PA 2C;
d. The proposed residential development in DA 6-1 is
located at least 450-feet from the public
recreation lands within Crystal Cove State Park and
does not necessitate the incorporation of a special
buffer or transition zone separating the
development edge from the state park; and
e. As demonstrated by Site Sections F-F and G-G, CDP
Exhibit 2.8, the proposed development within DA 6-1
will not degrade the existing undeveloped visual
qualities from the potential Moro Canyon Trail as
described by LCP Exhibit K. The manufactured
slopes located at the rear of the lots along the
perimeter of DA 6-1 facing Crystal Cove State -Park
lands will be planted with materials consistent
with Table 2-C Proposed Plant List _within Fuel
Modification Zones. These materials resemble the
plants in the natural areas of The Irvine Coast and
Crystal Cove State Park and provide a transition
from natural areas to the development" edge.
37. The proposed residential housing project and recreational
improvements are consistent with the LCP Archeological
policies in that:
a. The MCDP 89-26P conditions of approval require that
a County -certified archeologist complete a
literature and records search and a field survey.
The search and survey for PAs 2C, that portion of
6, 14, 15, 12D, 19 and 20 has been completed.
Twelve archeological sites have been identified
with these Planning Areas.
b. The MCDP 89-26P conditions of approval require that
a County -certified archeologist conduct subsurface
tests prior to grading and determine site
disposition. Subsurface excavations have been
completed and analyzed, and reports are being
prepared. Resource .surveillance will be provided
during grading operations.

38. The proposed residential housing project and recreational
improvements are consistent with the LCP Paleontological
policies in that:
a. The MCDP 89-26P conditions of approval require that
a County -certified paleontologist complete. a
literature and records search and a field survey.
This search and survey had been completed. No
paleontological resources were identified.
b. The MCDP 89-26P conditions of approval required
that a County -certified paleontologist conduct
pregrading salvage and resource surveillance if
necessary. Since no resources were identified, no
pregrading activities are required. During
grading, resource surveillance will be conducted.
39. The proposed project complies with the LCP Erosion,
Sediment, Grading and Runoff policies in that the prof ect will
be developed in accordance with the Refined Master Drainage
and Runoff Management Plan (MDRMP) prepared by Rivertech Inc.
Storm runoff from DAs 2C-1, 2C-2 and 2C-7 will be captured in
a series of catch basins located throughout the neighborhood
streets and the primary project collector Vista Ridge Road for
release into Los Trancos Canyon (PA 12A) . Storm flows will be
detained in two detention basins, one located in 2C-1, the
other straddling DAs 2C-7 and 2C-8, upstream of the Los
Trancos Canyon outlet.
DA 2C-3, a portion of DA 2C-4, San Joaquin Hills Planning
Areas 14 and most of 15 will drain into Buck Gully (PA 11A).
The runoff will be collected in streets and underground pipes,
connecting to the system in Ridge Park Road that is tied into
a detention basin facility located in the Local Park (DA 2B-3 )
and released into Buck Gully.
Runoff from DAs 2C-5, 6-1 and a portion of PA 15 will drain to
both Los Trancos and Muddy Canyons. The MDRMP was approved by
the County in connection with approval of the MCDP 88-11P.
The MDRMP addresses, in a comprehensive manner, the policies
contained in Sections I-3-E,-I,-J,-K and -L of the LCP. It
provides data on existing water quality and quantity, and an
assessment of project impacts on water resources, existing and
proposed riparian habitats, and off -shore marine life.
Mitigation measures, long-term maintenance, and a monitoring
program are described. This report demonstrates compliance
with the applicable LCP policies, and its findings
demonstrating such compliance are incorporated herein by
reference. Specifically:

a. The areas to be developed are used for grazing and
have a high erosion rate. After development,
erosion rates will be significantly lower than
existing rates and will approximate natural
conditions. (LCP I-3-I-1 [page I-3, 301)
b. Plans for sedimentation and erosion control will
respond to requirements for reseeding and planting
disturbed soil. (LCP I-3-I-2 [page I-3.291)
C. Erosion control devices will be installed.
Additional preventive erosion control measures
described in the Orange County Grading Manual and
the City of Irvine's Sedimentation and Erosion
Control Manual will be integrated into each
Development Area site plan, as appropriate. (LCP

d. The MDRMP recommends that detention basins be
converted to desilting basins during construction.
During the design stage and prior to the initial
grading operations, configurations and structural'--- --
details of these desilting basins will be prepared
as part of the submitted design. The erosion
control design plans for each development cluster
will identify additional desilting basins in
accordance with the Orange County Grading Manual.
(LCP I-3-J-1 [page I-3.301)
e. Vegetative cover and temporary mechanical means of
controlling sedimentation will be established and
conducted as described in the MDRMP and in
accordance with Orange County's Grading Manual.
(LCP I-3-J-2 and-3 [pages I-3.30 and I-3.311)
f. In order to maintain channel stability, Rivertech
has identified a number of locations where
detention basins may be constructed. Chapter VII
of the MDRMP includes a detailed study of the
mechanics of Buck Gully downstream from Newport
Coast Drive. That chapter identifies and describes
size and configuration of the facilities required
to maintain the stability of the downstream reach
of Buck Gully. The sediment yield to the beach is
expected to be less than existing and will
approximate natural conditions. (LCP I-3-J-5 [page
I-3.311 )

g. Except during the construction, Rivertech foresees
no long term need for sediment catch basins. (LCP
I-3-J-5 [page I-3.311)
h. Planning Areas 2C, a portion of 6 and 12D drain
into Buck Gully, Los Trancos and Muddy Canyons.
Most drainage goes into the Los Trancos Canyon
where all the detention basins described in PA 94-
0149 were sized to take 2C, a portion of 6 and 12D
drainage flows. The small amount of drainage that
flows to Muddy Canyon will be di s charged' through
energy dissipators into the natural vegetation of
Muddy Canyon (PA 12E).
i. Hydrologic computations performed by The Keith
Companies revealed that peak discharges from the
study area at Pacific Coast Highway after
development would not exceed the existing peak
discharges by more than 10 percent in the major
canyons. The Keith Companies utilized a number of
swales in the golf course and Wishbone Hill as
detention basins to achieve further --reduction to
less than existing within Pelican Hill and Wishbone
Hill watersheds. Subsequent to The Keith Company's
hydrology computations, Rivertech has identified a
number of additional potential locations for
detention basins. These detention basins are
proposed to achieve channel stability. (LCP I-3-K-
1 (page I - 3 .311 )
j. Drainage facilities will be designed and submitted
with the project grading plans. (LCP I-3-K-2 and -
3 [page I - 3 .3 2 ] )
k. No retention basins will be required on -site. (LCP
I-3-K-4 (page I-3.321)
1. Impact type energy dissipaters with riprap are
proposed to reduce the flow velocity and shear
stress to non -eroding values at the outlet of storm
drains. (LCP I-3-K-5 [page i-3.323)
M. Based on analysis performed by The Keith Companies,
all structures draining into the study area across
Newport Coast Drive have adequate capacity to
convey the design discharges. Runoff from the
proposed development will be released to the
natural water courses. The exact terminus location
of each storm drain will be determined during the

n. Soils and engineering studies have been submitted
to the County. (LCP 1-3-L-1 [page I-3.321)
o. The MDRMP addresses grading from October 15 through
April 15, and identifies those measures necessary
for adequate erosion control. (LCP I-3-L-2 [page
I-3.331)
P. Project plans call for appropriate permanent and
temporary stabilization techniques as identified in
the soil and geotechnical reports for PAs 2C, a
portion of 6 and 12D. (LCP I-3-L-3,-5, and -6
[pages I-3.33 and I-3.341) f
q. Stockpile locations for topsoil will be identified
in the final landscape plans.
r. Grading for 12D---is — limited to the removal of
vegetation in identified graded areas, (i.e., for
development, public/private roads, utilities, storm
drains, and other infrastructure), trails, and
access/haul roads, and for areas of fuel
modification. Similarly, construction equipment
will be limited to these areas. (LCP I-3-L-7 (page
I-3.341)
S. The grading for Irvine Coast Planning Areas 2C, a
portion of 6, and San Joaquin Hills Planning Areas
14, and 15 will be terraced -to conform to the
general topography. Terraces will have variable
heights to avoid uniformity. Through the use of a
meandering interior roadway, a stair -stepped
appearance will be avoided. Perimeter edges will
be treated with daylight cuts and fills following
the existing topography where possible. Slopes
will be varied from 2:1 and flatter, and contoured
into the existing topography. Slopes will be
terraced along the project interface with Ridge
Park and Vista Ridge Roads, integrating the slopes
created by roadway construction with grading for
residential projects. Thus, the graded slopes will
appear natural, blending into the existing
environment and mitigating the potential visual
effects of grading. (LCP I-3-L-8 [page I-3.341)

40. The LCP Development/Open Space Edge policies apply to the
interface between Planning Areas 2C and 12D and 2C and 12A, in
that:
a. The use of trees within the community slopes
adjacent to Los Trancos Canyon will help screen -the
edge of development from views along Crystal Cove
State Park and Los Trancos Canyon.
b. The trees planted in the community slopes adjacent
to PA 12D will help screen the development edge
viewed from Newport Coast Drive. The fuel
modification program approved in Master CD 89-26P
allows three methods of fuel modification -
expanded wet zones, expanded wet zone with
thinning, and wet zones at roadways. In expanded
wet zone areas, fuel modification will include
shrubs, meadows, and groundcover. This variation
in methods has been developed to avoid the visual
impacts often associated with fuel modification.
All of the fuel modification will occur within
Planning Areas 2C, a portion of 6 and 12D and
temporary within Planning Areas 8 and 13. The
depth of fuel modification will meander depending
upon topography. Conceptual Fuel Modification
Plans for the project site have been approved by
the County Fire Department and EMA Planning.
Emergency access points to the fuel modification
edges, have been identified and annual maintenance
will be the Homeowners Association responsibility
(LCP I-3-M-4 through -10 [pages I-3.36 through I-
3.401)
41. The proposed project complies with the LCP Circulation
policies (LCP I-4-E [pages I-4.19 through I-4.341) in that:
a. Roads are designed to meet County safety standards;
b. Roads will be landscaped;
C. All internal roadways are curvilinear and all
slopes contoured into the existing topography;
d. Residential areas are served by private streets
and/or driveways;
e. All modifications to existing roadway standards
have been. carefully considered and justified by
safety and circulation conditions.

f. Roadway grading has been blended into existing
topography by contour grading, where feasible.
Retaining walls and other structures have been used
to minimize grading impacts.
g. Traffic Management Program measures have been
incorporated into the project where appropriate.
h. Road design and sections for entry roads, collector
roads, residential streets, and private driveways
have been designed to be consistent with LCP
Exhibit R, Residential Entry Road & Residential
Streets -- Typical Sections.
i. All roadway improvements established in LCP Exhibit
Q, Irvine Coast Arterial Roadway Phasing Summary,
will be installed on or before the triggering
mechanisms called for in the Exhibit Q.
42. The proposed project complies with the LCP Public
Works/Infrastructure policies in that it includes necessary
sewer improvements and drainage improvements. All public
works/infrastructure are provided in the major public roadways
approved under Master CD 89-26P and the Pelican Hill Road CDP
(for Newport Coast Drive), and the roadways proposed in this
project. (LCP I-4-F-1 through -7 [pages I-4.19 through I-
4.34)
43. The proposed project complies with the LCP ESHA policies
in that development within PAs 2C and a portion of 6 is
permitted to modify or eliminate vegetation and drainage
courses within Category "D" ESHAs. The Irvine Coast Open
Space Dedication Program and Riparian Habitat Creation
mitigate habitat lost as a result of development. (I-3-F
[pages I-3.24 and I-3.251)
44. Residential uses approved as part of the LCP were found
consistent with the requirement of Coastal Act Section 3-0250
in that development within the Irvine Coast has been clustered
near existing residential areas and existing employment
centers. Clustering of residential units preserves open
space, reduces grading impacts, and enhances the compatibility
of private development with public open space. By clustering
residential uses on the ridges away from sensitive habitat
areas in the canyon bottoms the LCP complies with Coastal Act
Section 30240. Approval of this CDP carries out these
policies.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 95-13
PA 94-0149 -- FINDINGS

45. In accordance with Section 30007.5 of the Coastal Act,
the LCP Open Space Dedication Program protects certain
specified coastal resources and offsets adverse environmental
impacts in residential development and recreation areas which
are otherwise not mitigated. Permanent protection and
preservation of major canyon watersheds, visually significant
ridgelines, stream courses, archeological and paleontological
sites, riparian vegetation, coastal chaparral and wildlife
habitat is provided by dedication to a public agency. Large-
scale master planning and dedication programming ,for The
Irvine Coast enables the permanent protection of large,
contiguous open space areas rather than the protection of
smaller, discontinuous habitat areas that might result from a
project -by -project site mitigation approach. A much greater
degree of habitat and open space protection can be achieved by
dedication programs that assemble large blocks of habitat area
contiguous to Crystal Cove State Park than would be possible
with project -by -project mitigation measures. The Irvine Coast
Dedication Program will result in approximately 7,234 acres
devoted to open space and recreation use which includes 2,807
acres in Crystal Cove State Park, 2,666 acres in Wilderness
Open Space, 1,161 acres in Special Use Open Space Dedications,
and over 600 acres in the Golf Course and other non -dedicated
recreation areas.

FILING CEOA DOCUMENTS WITH THE COUNTY CLERK
Your division will be responsible for filing the CEQA documentation and
paying its related $38.00 filing fee with the County Clerk for your
project. The County Clerk now only needs your CEQA document(s) with your
project charge number in the upper right corner in order to post the
document and recover this fee. You must, however, obtain a fee receipt
from the County Clerk which must then be turned in immediately to
EMA/Accounting Services. The County Clerk requires the $38.00 documentary
handling fee for the following items:
* Negative Declarations (ND);
* Notices of Determinations (NOD); and
* Notices of Exemption (NOE)
Please note the following:
1. In the case of NDs, the County clock for public review does not begin
until the Office of the County Clerk has posted the document.
2. Within 5 days of approval action by the decision -making authority
(e.g. Board, Planning Commission, Zoning Administrator) on a project,
a Notice of Determination (NOD) or Notice of Exemption (NOE) must be
filed with the County Clerk.
3. If EPD has determined that your project is exempt from the Department
of Fish and Game (DFG) fees, a De Minimus Finding (Certificate of Fee
Exemption) will be provided by EPD and must accompany your project's
NOD.
4. If EPD cannot find your project exempt from the DFG fees, you will be
required to pay $1288.00, or $888.00, respectively, for NDs and EIRs,
including the $38.00 handling fee.
You will need to fill in the information on the NOD or NOE form and get an
original authorizing signature from your division after the approval action
on your project. You will need to take the original set, and at least one
set of copies to the EIR Clerk located in the Recorders/Clerks Office,
Building 12, Civic Center•Plaza. The Clerk will stamp the ND, NOD or NOE,
and keep the original set. The Clerk will issue a receipt for the
Environmental document which must be returned to EMA/Accounting Services by
the end of the day. A copy of a stamped NOD/NOE must be sent to EPD for
the file.

The CEQA compliance statement, located in the text of the staff report
or body of the AIT under "Additional Data", shall include an appropriate
statement from the following list unless advised otherwise by County
Counsel or the Manager, Environmental Planning Division.
(XX) 1. The proposed project is covered by Final EIR No. 544A, previously
certified on 8/8/95 and Addendum No. PA 960065. Prior to project
approval, the decision -maker must assert that together, they are
adequate to satisfy the requirements of CEQA for the proposed

has not been prepared for the proposed project, one of the following actions
must be taken before action on the project, unless directed otherwise by County
Counsel or the Manager, EMA/EPD.
(XX) l.The decision -maker has considered Final'EIR 544A , previously certified
on 8/8/95 and Addendum No. PA 960065 prior to project approval.
Together they are approved for the proposed project based upon the
following findings:
a. Together, these documents are adequate to satisfy the
requirements of CEQA by the decision -maker;
b. The additions, clarifications and/or changes to the
original document caused by the Addendum, do not raise new
significant issues which were not addressed by the EIR; and
c. The approval of the EIR and Addendum for the proposed
project reflect the independent judgment of the Lead
Agency.
C. hSH AND GAME CODE FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF PROJECTS SUBJECT TO CEQA
(XX) Find that pursuant to Section 711.4 of the California Fish and
Game Code, this project is subject to the required fees as it
has been determined that potential adverse impacts to wildlife
resources may result from the project.
E. NCCP FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF PROJECTS
(XX) 1. Find that the proposed project will not have a significant
unmitigated impact upon Coastal Sage Scrub habitat and,
therefore, will not preclude the ability to prepare an effective

PROJECT LOCATION:
The proposed project, a residential development is a part of the Irvine Coast,
Phase III phased component, which links two larger planned communities, Irvine
Coast Planned Community (ICPC) and San Joaquin Hills Planned Community
(SJHPC) (Figure 1). Irvine Coast Planned Community/San Joaquin Hills Planned
Community is located in the southwestern area of unincorporated Orange County,
between the cities of Newport Beach/Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach. Phase III
is located east of Newport Coast Drive and north of Vista Ridge Road (Figure 2).
The proposed project (Revision to DA 1, PA 2C-9 (ICPC) and PA 14 (SJHPC), is
located in the northwestern area of the Irvine Coast Phase III. This is in the
Fifth Supervisorial District.
EXISTING SITE CONDITION:
The Irvine Coast/San Joaquin Hills Planned Communities topography consists
primarily of hilly terrain. The project site has been minimally graded in
connection with infrastructure and roads.
CEQA BACKGROUND
PROJECT DEFINED:
Under Section 15002(d) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines, a project is defined as an activity subject to CEQA. Further, the
term project refers to an activity which is proposed that has a potential for
resulting in a physical change in the environment either directly or ultimately.
A private project is defined by the Guidelines as a project which
will be carried out by a person other than a governmental agency, but
the project will need i discretionary approval from one or more
governmental agencies.
The proposed development is regarded as a private project, because of the
discretionary approvals required to implement it. These include Planning
Application/Site Development Permit PA 960065 and Tentative Tract Map TT15078.
LEGISLATIVE INTENT OF CEQA:
The Legislature's intentions in enacting the California Environmental Quality Act is
identified in the Public Resources Code, Chapter 1. Policy of Division 13. CEQA
emphasizes the following:
It is the intent of the Legislature that all agencies of the state
government which regulate activities of private individuals,
corporations, and public agencies which are found to affect the quality

CEQA BASIS FOR AN ADDENDUM:
Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) 544A was certified 6/27/95 and Irvine
Coast, Phase III, approved 6/27/96; approval appealed, appeal denied, re -certified
8/8/95. In accordance with the Guidelines 7, an Initial Study (PA 960065) was
completed on the subject project by the Environmental & Project Planning Division
(EP&PD). Based upon the foregoing information, it was determined that EIR 544A
adequately analyzes all of the major impacts of the proposed project, that no
subsequent changes are proposed with respect to the circumstances surrounding this
project, and that no new information has become available, that would substantially
affect the validity of EIR 544A. It was determined an Addendum is necessary to
provide project specific analysis, to provide clarification and address minor
technical changes to Final EIR 544A.
ANALYSIS OF IMPACTS/MITIGATION:
(1) LAND USE AND PLANNING, A through E, No Impact
The proposed project is consistent with and in conformance with General Plan and
its implementing documents; under the Land Use Element: (1C) Urban Residential
Communities; Community Profile (1.5) Medium High Density Residential. The San
Joaquin Hills Planned Community and the Irvine Coast Planned Community are
separate and distinct areas in terms of zoning and land use regulation. Although
distinct from a regulatory and zoning perspective, physical land planning design
components such as roads, open space areas, and ownerships for -development
projects within SJHPC Planning Area 14 may cross over the common boundary shared
with The ICPC Planning Area 2C-9. There is no conflict with zoning or general
plan designation nor conflict with existing, or planned land uses. The project
area is currently being developed residential. No mitigation measures required.
(2) POPULATION AND HOUSING, A through C, No Impact.
The proposed project will not cumulatively exceed adopted regional or local
population projection, neither will it induce substantial growth in an undeveloped
area or extension of major infrastructure or displace existing housing. The

project proposes revising the number of proposed units in PA 2C-9 (ICPC) from 490
units to 489 units and the number of proposed units in PA 14 (SJHPC) from 63 units
to 64 units. The proposes revision will balance out from one planning area to
another within the two planning areas included in the proposes project (2C9-ICPC
and 14-SJHPC).
(3) GEOPHYSICAL, A through I, No Impact Beyond FEIR 544A.
Final EIR 544A, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines, Section 15126(b) included a
discussion describing changes to contiguous topographic features in the Irvine
Coast Phase III project area as one that cannot be mitigated to a level of
insignificance. Although the project proposes remedial grading beyond the
Planned Community boundaries in order to provide stabilization to the revised
location of lots, mitigation measures addressing these issues have been added to
ensure that potential impacts will be mitigated to a level of insignificance. The
proposed revisions will not result in changes to topography and ground surface
relief features substantially beyond those identified in FEIR 544A. Landslide and
earthquake potential still exists in the project area. Remedial grading may be
required to ensure stabilization of landslides that may exist within PAs 2C9 and
14. Grading policies found in the Orange County Grading and Excavation Code as
well as the Irvine Coast Local Coastal Program and the following mitigation
measures will ensure that no further potentially significant impact will occur.
Mitigation Measure #1
Prior to the issuance of any grading permit, the developer shall submit a
soils engineering and geologic study to the Manager, EMA, Development
Services Division, for approval. This report shall include assessment of
potential soil -related constraints and hazards such as slope instability,
settlement, liquefaction, or related secondary seismic impacts where
determined to be appropriate by the Manager, EMA, Development Services
Division.
The report also shall include evaluation of potentially expansive soil and
recommended construction procedures and/or design criteria to minimize their
effect of these soils on the proposed development. More specifically, the
report shall address the following topics:
a. Settlement: Locations where settlement is encountered shall be
removed and recompacted to provide better support.
b. Seismic Shaking: Compliance with the current Orange County Grading
and Excavation Code and Uniform Building Code shall be required to
mitigate the potential effects from seismic shaking on wood frame
structures.
C. Landslides: Mitigation measures identified in EIR 517, Table
4.2.B, which address specific landslides, shall be verified in the
above -required soils/geologic report. Any required off -site
remedial grading and associated impacts shall be addressed in
construction -level environmental documents for the project.
d. Compressible Materials: Locations where compressible materials are
encountered should be removed and recompacted in place, if
feasible. If, due to the depth of the compressible materials in
certain locations, removal/recompaction is not feasible, then
surcharge fills, monitoring, and construction of storm drains shall
be required.
Planning Area 14(SJHPC) PA 960065
Planning Area 2C-9 (ICPC) Page 5
(3) GEOPHYSICAL(continued) Mitigation Measure #1 (continued)
e. Expansive Soils: Where expansive soils are encountered, these
soils shall be uniformly distributed over the project site. Extra
reinforcement, presoaking of the sub -grade, and special foundations
design (e.g., in compliance with the Uniform Building Code and
Orange County Grading and Excavation Code) may be required.
f. Rippability: In locations where harder earth and rock materials
are noted and difficult ripping may be encountered, a geophysical
survey shall be required to identify areas requiring blasting.
All reports shall be completed in the manner specified in the Orange County
Grading Manual, State Subdivision Map Apt, and Orange County Subdivision
Code. (Implements Mitigation Measure 4.2.1 - EIR 517)
Mitigation Measure #2
Prior to the issuance of the any preliminary grading permit for projects
located immediately adjacent to or including portions of significant open
space corridors, regional parks, or other environmentally sensitive areas,
the project proponent shall provide evidence acceptable to the Manager,
Development Services, in consultation with the Manager, Environmental &
Project Planning Division, that graded areas shall be compatible with
natural land characteristics of the adjacent areas. Treatment,to achieve
the desired effect shall include:
A. Smooth and gradual transition between graded slopes and existing
grades using variable slopes ratios (2:1-4.1); and
B. Urban Edge Treatment/Landscaping Plan(s) for all graded areas
adjacent to open space; and
C. Incorporating architectural and design techniques into the project
in order to enhance off -site views attained from within parks and
other environmentally sensitive areas.
Mitigation Measure #3
Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit
detailed grading plans, including an off -site haul route, approved off -site
disposal site and an erosion control plan, further defining the extent of
earthwork requirements for the project meeting the approval of'the Manager,
Development Services. The plan shall be in accordance with stated grading
concepts as required by the Orange County Grading and Excavation Code.
Mitigation Measure #4-
Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, if review of the grading plan
for the project site by the Manager, Development Services, indicates
significant deviation in elevations from the proposed grading illustrated
on approved PA 960065 and approved Tentative Tract 15078, specifically with
regard to slope heights, slope ratios, and pad elevations and
configuration, the plan shall be reviewed by the Manager, Land Use Planning
Division for a finding of substantial conformance with concurrence of
Environmental & Project Planning. Failure to achieve such a finding may
require processing a Change Plan or new Site Development Permit to be
reviewed by the Orange County Planning Commission; per the Orange County
Zoning Code Section 7-9-139 and 7-9-150.

(4) WATER, A through I, No Impact Beyond FEIR 544A
FEIR 544A determined that the Phase III development will alter existing drainage
conditions resulting in increased urban runoff generated from development of
Phase III which will increase impervious surfaces. Development the Phase II -I
area will also result in higher peak runoff values and increased runoff volumes.
Pursuant to the LCP, a Refined Master Drainage Run-off Management Plan (MDRMP)
was prepared and subsequently updated with an Addendum (1991) and a Revised
Addendum (1994) which were approved by the County of Orange. FEIR 544A
incorporated mitigation measures and project design features from the MDRMP
(Revised and Attended) which will be incorporated into this -Addendum to
adequately mitigate potential impacts to a level of insignificance.
Implementation of this plan in the proposed project area will provide facilities
and practices to address changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns,
erosion, and the rate and amount of surface water runoff. The SJHPC has
implemented and incorporates National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Standards. These newer NPDES standards will be incorporated into the
MDRMP.
Mitigation Measure #5
Prior to issuance of building permits, permit applicant shall submit for
approval of the Manager, Subdivision & Grading, a Water Quality Management
Plan (WQMP) specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that
will be used on site to control predictable pollutant runoff.
This WQMP shall identify the structural and non-structural measures
specified in the Countywide NPDES Drainage Area Management Plan Appendix
which details implementation of BMPs whenever they are applicable to a
project, the assignment of long-term maintenance responsibilities
(specifying the developer, parcel owner, maintenance association, lessee,
etc.); and, shall reference the location(s) of structural BMPs.
Mitigation Measure #6
Prior to recordation of final Tract Map or prior to the issuance of any
grading permit, whichever comes first and if determined applicable by the
Manager, Subdivision & Grading, the applicant shall submit a WQMP that
identifies the application and incorporation of those routine structural
and non-structural BMPs outlined in the Countywide NPDES Drainage Area
Management Plan Appendix detailing implementation of BMPs not dependent on
specific land uses, for approval of the Manager, Subdivision & Grading.
Mitigation Measure #7
Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall show
drainage consistency with the Refined Master Drainage Run-off Management
Plan (MDRMP) and the Revised Addendum (1994) which was approved by the
County of Orange meeting the approval of the Manager, Flood Programs.
(5) TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION, A through G, No Impact Beyond FEIR 544A
Traffic and circulation is discussed on pages 4.5-1 through 4.5-37 of EIR 544A.
The Phase III project, in conjunction with other development within the Irvine
Coast Planned Community, will cumulatively contribute to increased demand on the
existing roadway system, however, not beyond the level of service requirements
set forth in the County's Growth Management Plan guidelines.
Planning Area 14(SJHPC) PA 960065
Planning Area 2C-9 (ICPC) Page 7
0 0
(5) TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION,(continued)
It is not anticipated that additional vehicular trips will be generated by the
proposed project in addition to what is already existing and was analyzed in
Final EIR 544A. The project would have no impact on parking within the site or
in surrounding areas.
The project would not impact waterborne, rail, or air traffic nor create
significant hazards to equestrians, motor vehicles, bicyclists, or pedestrians.
No mitigation measures are warranted.
(6) AIR, A through D, No Impact Beyond FSIR 544A
Final EIR 544A in its analysis of Air Quality in the Phase III project
determined that the Phase III project is consistent with the adopted plans and
the County General Plan and SCAQMD projections, however, Orange County is
located within the South Coast Air Basin which is considered impacted, with
average daily air quality pollutant levels exceeding the Pollutant Standard
Index (PSI). The Phase III project will only add to the already impacted air
quality since the site is currently undeveloped. Although EIR 486 addressed
this issue in-depth, the impact is still considered potentially significant.
The EIR provided a detailed discussion and included applicable mitigation
measures to reduce the Phase III project impacts.
The proposed project will generate short-term exposure of locally elevated air
pollution levels, which includes fugitive particulates and exhaust resulting
from construction activities. Sensitive receptors are not close to equipment
emission sources during the initial construction activities and, therefore, will
not be adversely impacted by the project. With the application of standard dust
control procedures required by AQMD Rule 403 and by local ordinances, short-term
construction impacts are expected to be insignificant.
Final EIR 544A stated that the Phase III project will result in long -term -mobile
emissions. Electrical power generation and natural gas usage associated with
the completed land uses of the Phase III project will result in long-term
stationary emissions.
The proposed project is not anticipated to affect wind direction, air
temperature or other atmospheric processes on a local or regional scale (EIR No.
544A). In addition, due to the residential, infrastructure and recreational
nature of the project, and the relatively small size of the project area in a
regional context, it is not anticipated that any aspect of the proposed project
will cause a change in local or regional climate.
During construction activities for the project, diesel exhaust will result in
occasional odor effects within a few feet of the equipment. Because sensitive
receptors are not located in close proximity to emission sources, odor is not
considered an environmental concern. The residential/open space nature of the
project will not produce objectionable odors.

Planning Area 2C-9 (ICPC) Page 8
(6) AIR (continued)
Mitigation Measure #7
A. Fugitive Dust Suppression: Prior to issuance of grading permits, the
project applicant shall demonstrate measures to ensure compliance with
SCAQMD Rule 403, and shall identify the dust suppression measures, such
as regular watering, which shall be implemented to reduce emissions -
during construction and grading in a manner meeting the approval of the
Manager, Subdivision & Grading. This shall assist in reducing
short-term impacts from particles which could result in nuisances that
are prohibited by Rule 403.
B. SA Winds: Grading and excavation shall be halted during periods of high
winds meeting the approval of the Manager, EMA, Subdivision Division,
Grading Inspection Section. According to AQMP Measure F-4, high winds
are defined as 30 m.p.h. or greater. This level occurs only under
unusually extreme conditions, such as Santa Ana wind conditions.
Notations in the above format, included with other notations on the front
sheet of grading plans, will be considered as adequate evidence of
compliance with this condition.
(7) NOISE, A and B, No Impact Beyond FEIR 544A
Construction of the project will result in short-term noise increases. Noise
generated by construction equipment (i.e., trucks, graders, bulldozers, concrete
mixers, portable generators) and project construction activities can reach high
levels. Construction equipment noise is regulated by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Noise Control Program (Part 204 of Title 40, Code of
Federal Regulation). With implementation of mitigation measures, such as
regulation of construction hours, noise impacts can be minimized.
Noise impacts to planned single family homes will occur from vehicular traffic
along Ridge Park Road and Vista Ridge Road. The current site plan indicates
that the nearest noise sensitive single family development receptor will be
located approximately 80 feet from Ridge Park Road. Although no significant
noise impacts from Ridge Park Road are anticipated for the single family units
planned as part of this project, The EIR will provide a detailed discussion of
potential impacts a noise analysis will be prepared. Mitigation measures will be
provided to help reduce project impacts.
Future development will temporarily expose people to noise levels in excess of
JL County standards, however, EIR 544A provided a detailed discussion of these
impacts and included mitigation measures which will reduce project impacts.
Although a noise analysis was performed for the site as part of FEIR Nos. 485
and 517, an update of the noise information is contained in FEIR Nos. 544A.
Mitigation Measure #8
All residential lots and dwellings shall be sound attenuated against
present and projected noise which shall be the sum of all noise impacting
the project so as not to exceed a composite interior standard of 45 dBA
CNEL in all habitable rooms and a source specific exterior standard of 65
dBA CNEL in outdoor living areas. Evidence prepared by a County -certified
acoustical consultant, that these standards will be satisfied in a manner
consistent with Zoning Code Section 7-9-137.5, shall be submitted as
follows:

(7) NOISE, (continued)
A. ACOUSTICAL RPT-MAP: Prior to the recordation of a final tract map
or prior to the issuance of grading permits, as determined by the
Manager, Building Permits, an acoustical analysis report shall be
submitted to the Manager, Building Permits, for approval. The
report shall describe in detail the exterior noise environment and
preliminary mitigation measures. Acoustical design features to
achieve interior noise standards may be included in the report in
which case it may also satisfy "B" below.
B. ACOUSTICAL RPT-BUILDING PERMITS: Prior to the issuance of any
building permits for residential construction, an acoustical
analysis report describing the acoustical design features of the
structures required to satisfy the exterior and interior noise
standards shall be submitted to the Manager, Building Permits, for
approval along with satisfactory evidence which indicates that the
sound attenuation measures specified in the approved acoustical
report have been incorporated into the design of the project.
C. ACOUST BARRIERS: Prior to the issuance of any building permits,
all freestanding acoustical barriers must be shown on the
project's plot plan illustrating height, location and construction
in a manner meeting the approval of the Manager, Building Permits.
(8) BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES A-F, No Impact Beyond FEIR 544A
Final EIR 544A (FEIR) contains the primary biolgical resources characterizing the
project site. The FEIR indicates that the project site contains a number of
significant biological resources and wildlife features including wildlife mobility
corridors, oak woodlands, major ridgelines, rock outcroppings, etc. The FEIR also
indicates that the project site contains significant Coastal Sage Scrub (CSS)
resources that were determined to be occupied by the California gnatcatcher.
The project site is located within the Coastal subarea of the Central -Coastal
Subregional Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP)/Habitat Conservation
Plan (HCP) program area. Specific CSS resources have been identified for removal
as part of the implementation of the project. The applicant has applied for and
obtained approval to remove these resources through the provision of a 4(d)
Detailed Interim Habitat Loss Mitigation Plan (IHLMP) permit approved by the
County of Orange, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish
and Game. Findings associated with the 4(d) permit determined that the project
would not preclude the preparation of an effective NCCP/HCP program. In addition,
the 4(d) (IHLMP) permit included certain mitigation measures that must be carried
out as part of the project's development.
Bran&e*Countyl o9afdto�f Supervisors. iIR__5 wasaalso certifies as°pars oY the
Board's action. As such, the project must comply with the provisions of the
NCCP/HCP.
The applicant now proposes to modify the grading limits beyond those approved for
the Phase III project area. The applicant re -surveyed the project area to
determine if any additional impacts to biological resources would occur and
determined that approximately .3 acres of CSS would be effected. Environmental
and Project Planning Division staff, in consultation with the Administrator,
Planning and Zoning, has determined that these modifications represent minor
revisions and are in substantial compliance with the approved 4(d) permit.

(8) BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES (continued)
Mitigation Measure #9
Prior to the issuance of the first grading permit for Development Area 1
(PAs 14, SJHPC and 2C-9, ICPC), the applicant will provide a revision of
the Detailed Interim Habitat Loss Mitigation Plan and Biological Mitigation
Monitoring Plan for Newport Coast Phase III, Development Areas 1, 2A, 2B,
3, 4 to reflect the revisions proposed by PA 960065, meeting the approval
of the Manager, Environmental & Project Planning Division.
Mitigation Measure #10
Prior to approval of any grading permit, the developer shall include either
graphically, as notes on grading or building plans, as written construction
instructions, or as otherwise deemed appropriate, meeting the approval of
the Manager, Environmental Planning Division the following:
a. Prohibit the driving or parking of construction vehicles within the drip
lines of any oaks or oak woodlands:
b. Avoid unnecessary driving in undisturbed areas;
c. Do not remove brush except where necessary;
d. Do not harass wildlife such as deer, foxes, coyotes, snakes, -etc.
(harassment includes shooting, throwing rocks, etc.); and
e. Installation of a wildlife watering facility in adjacent open space to
mitigate the loss of the existing seasonal watering source:
f. Contact person for field complaints: Gerhard Bombe, Sr. Park Ranger,
Bruce Buchman at Laguna Niguel Park.
g. Grading shall not be started without first notifying the.County of
Orange Grading Inspector. A pre -grade meeting on the site is required
before start of grading with the following people present: owner,
grading contractor, design civil engineer, soils engineer, geologist,
(and any others required by the EIR and LCP) as well as a
County -certified Archaeologist and County -certified Paleontologist. The
required inspections for grading shall be explained at this meeting.
Notes in the above format, appropriately numbered and included with other
notations on the front sheet of grading plans under GENERAL NOTES will be
considered as adequate evidence of compliance with this condition.
Mitigation Measure #11
Prior to the issuance of grading permits which include fuel modification a
revised revegetation/landscape plan, which includes the revised graded
areas and areas of remedial grading outside the Planned Community boundary
line, shall be approved by the Manager, EMA Development Services Division
with concurrence from the Manager, Environmental & Project Planning.
Mitigation Measure #12
All remedially graded slopes shall be stabilized and revegetated with plant
species from the Approved Plant List (FEIR 544A & PA 960065) and be
consistent with the Revised Detailed Interim Habitat Loss Mitigation Plan
and Biological Mitigation Monitoring Plan for Newport Coast Phase III,
Development Areas 1, 2A, 2B, 3, 4 meeting the approval of the Manager,
Environmental & Project Planning Division, Grading Review Section.

(9) AESTHETICS, A - D, No Impact Beyond FEIR 544A
Final EIR 544A determined that implementation of the Phase III development was
potentially significant with regard to Aesthetics. Development of the Phase III
project will change the appearance of the project area. Structures and grading
associated with the development of the planning areas, roads and infrastructure
systems, will alter the natural topography and vegetation of the area. A visual
impact analysis was prepared for Final EIR 544A to address potential impacts and
to be consistent with the Irvine Coast LCP viewshed analysis, along with the
analysis of viewsheds contained in FEIR Nos. 485 and 517. The viewshed analysis
was based on the conceptual grading plans included in EIR 544A, and addressed
visual impacts associated with the alteration of the existing terrain of the
project site resulting from the creation of cut and fill slopes.
The revisions proposed are within substantial compliance and consistent with the
visual impact analysis prepared for Final EIR 544A. The revised grading plan
proposes remedial grading beyond the Planned Community boundaries. The results
of this grading may potentially impact the viewshed, however, this potential
impact will be mitigated to a level of insignificance through application of
Mitigation Measure Nos. 10 and 11.
(10) CULTURAL/SCIENTIFIC RESOURCES, A - E, No Impact Beyond FEIR 544A ,
Final EIR 544A, within the Cultural & Scientific Resources Section, stated that
in September, 1989, a record search and literature review was conducted for the
project area by LSA personnel. The research revealed that the project area had
been systematically surveyed in the past as part of several larger- regional
projects (PCAS N.D.; Cottrell 1977; Macko 1986). The results of these, and
subsequent monitoring projects, indicated some archaeological sites exists
within the project area. Most of the archaeological excavation and salvaging
has been completed. The following mitigation measures requiring completion of
all salvage excavation and associated reports shall reduce proposed impacts
below a level of insignificance.
Mitigation Measure #13
Prior to the issuance of any grading permit which affects any of the
following sites, the mitigation report(s) for CA-Ora-232, CA-Ora-233,
CA-Ora-673, and CA-Ora-737 shall be completed by the landowner, and
approved by the Manager, Harbors, Beaches and Parks/Program Planning
Division. At sites CA-Ora-274, CA-Ora-668 and CA-Ora-670, a data recovery
program shall be conducted. This program shall follow the research design
and tasks outlined in the Irvine Coast Archaeological Resources Technical
Appendix. The tasks below list the general program to be followed:
a. The first phase shall consist of an intensive on -foot survey of the site
area in order to identify all surface artifacts. Subsequently, the
cultural material shall be systematically collected, with the locations
plotted on a base map.
b. Following completion of the surface collection, excavation of a number
of hand dug units shall be undertaken. This shall sample the subsurface
area of the site.
c. The third step shall be a detailed analysis of the cultural material
retrieved during the surface/subsurface portions of the data recovery
program.

d. Finally, a report shall be prepared thoroughly documenting the
procedures and results of the data recovery program, and addressing the
research design questions. The report shall included recommendations
for monitoring if appropriate.
e. All work at the sites shall be conducted under the direction of an
Orange County certified archaeologist.
Mitiaation Measure #14
Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the project applicant shall provide
written evidence to the Chief, Grading Section, that a County -certified
archaeologist has been retained to conduct salvage excavation of the
archaeological resources in the permit area. Excavated finds shall be
offered to County of Orange, or designee, on a first refusal basis.
Applicant may retain said finds if written assurance is provided that they
will be properly preserved in Orange County, unless said finds are of
special significance, or a museum in Orange County indicates desire to
study and/or display them at this time, in which case items shall be
donated to County, or designee. A final report of the salvage operation
shall be submitted to and approved by the Manager, Harbors, Beaches and
Parks/Program Planning Division.
Mitiaation Measure #15
Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the project applicant shall
provide written evidence to the Chief, EMA/Regulation/Grading Section, that
a County -certified paleontologist has been retained to observe grading
activities and salvage and catalogue fossils as necessary. The
paleontologist shall be present at the pre -grading conference, shall
establish procedures for paleontological resource surveillance,
temporarily halting or redirecting work to permit evaluation of the
fossils. Excavated finds shall be offered to the County of Orange, or its
designee, on a first -refusal basis. Prior to the issuance of a precise
grading permit, the paleontologist shall submit a follow-up report for
approval by the Manager, Harbors, Beaches and Parks/Program Planning
Division. Monthly grading observation reports shall be submitted to the
grading inspector on all projects which exceed 100,000 cubic yards, unless
no earthwork has been done during the month.
RECREATION A, B and C, No Impact Beyond FEIR 544A
The proposed project is partially within the Irvine Coast LCP, and partially
with the San Joaquin Hills Planned Community. The Phase III project addressed
both of these development areas and determined they provide for a large network
of open space/recreation facilities. In addition, the Irvine Coast Planned
Community provides substantial regional open space amenities.
The revision to Phase III proposes to add a community recreation area which will
include swimming pool and spa areas, patio and barbecue areas and restrooms. No
mitigation measures are warranted.

(12) ENERGY & MINERAL RESOURCES, A and B, No Impact Beyond FEIR 544A
Final EIR 544A determined the Phase III project will generate an incremental
increase in demand for electricity, natural gas, and gasoline. Projected energy
demands will be satisfied by three principal sources, including electricity from
Southern California Edison Company, natural gas from the Southern California Gas
Company, and motor fuels from a variety of private oil companies. Utility
providers have indicated with past approvals that they will be able to serve the
proposed project. The revisions proposed by Site Development Permit PA 960065
do not propose impacts beyond EIR 544A, no additional units are proposed.
(13) HAZARDS, A - E, No Impact Beyond FEIR 544A•
The Phase III project/FEIR 544A concluded that development of the Phase III
project will not involve or expose people to levels of hazardous substances
beyond those normally used in residential and recreational land uses (e.g., oil,
pesticides, fertilizer). in addition, the proposed project will not be
adversely affected by microwave transmissions from the microwave towers located
on Signal Peak. Measurements taken at the project site by the EMA Environmental
Health Division indicated that radio frequency radiation levels are below
recommended standards and, as a result, there would be no negative health
effects on the general population in the proposed housing development. There is
also no risk of exposure to toxic or radioactive gas or industrial fire to
surrounding residents. The project site will be used strictly for residential
and recreational purposes. No impacts are anticipated. Potential impacts from
the Coyote Canyon Landfill (closed in March, 1990) were discussed and thoroughly
mitigated in FEIR No. 517.
Increased fire hazard in designated high fire hazard areas (e.g., flammable
brush, grass, or trees) such as the Phase III development area, as noted in the
Orange County Master Environmental Assessment, December, 1980, due to the
combined Irvine Coast & San Joaquin Planned Community size, its topography and
wildland exposure required that necessary water and street improvements be made.
In addition, consistent with LCP requirements and the requirements of FEIR No.
544A a fuel modification plan was prepared for the Phase III area. The
following mitigation measure will ensure that potential impacts will be
mitigated to a level of insignificance.
Mitigation Measure #16
- Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, a revised fuel modification
' plan and program shall be submitted and approved by the Fire Chief. Contact
the Wildland Fire Defense Planning Section at 744-0498 for requirements and
clearance of this condition. The plan shall indicate the proposed means of
achieving an acceptable level of risk to structures by vegetation. Include
the method (mechanical or hand labor) for removal of flammable vegetation and
the planting of drought tolerant fire resistant plants. The approved fuel
modification plan shall be installed prior to the issuance of building
permits, under the supervision of the Fire Chief, and completed prior to the
issuance of any use and occupancy permits. The CC&R's shall contain
provision for maintaining the fuel modification zones including the removal
of all dead and dying vegetation and the inspection and correction of any
deficiencies in the irrigation system three times a year.

•
(14) PUBLIC SERVICES & UTILITIES, A - E, No Impact Beyond FEIR 544A
Final EIR 544A determined that potential impacts regarding Public Services were
less than significant. Development Agreement (DA) 87-16 required the
construction of Fire Station No. 52 to serve the fire service needs of the
Irvine Coast area. Station No. 52 is located west of Newport Coast Drive (NCD),
near the extension of Ridge Park Road, within the SJHPC directly adjacent to the
project site. The County Orange Fire Authority operates this station. This
Fire Station, as required by DA 87-16, is currently in service. No mitigation
measures are warranted.
Potential impacts regarding Public Services from the county and the City of
Newport Beach were addressed in Final EIR 544A:
a) County Sheriff's Department, in conjunction with the Newport Beach Police
Department, has indicated it will be able to provide adequate police services
to the project.
b) The proposed project area will generate additional students for the
Newport -Mesa Unified School District (NMUSD). NMUSD reopened several schools
previously closed by NMUSD because of declining enrollment. These reopended
schools will address the expected increased enrollment in the Phase III area.
c) Maintenance: The proposed project will not result in any extraordinary
impacts to public facilities that would require maintenance above and beyond
routine upkeep.
d) Transit: OCTA will provide service to the area
e) Libraries: As mandated by the Irvine Coast Development Agreement (1988), the
project applicant is required to pay the County fees to be used for the
enhancement or construction of library facilities, which will serve the
Irvine Coast and surrounding areas.
The project would not impact the quality and quantity of any public services.
The following potential impacts regarding Utilities were addressed in Final EIR
544A:
a) Solid waste: b) Water/Wastewater:
c) Electricity/Gas: d) Telephone:
e) Cable Television:
FINDINGS:
A- The proposed project will not significantly jeopardize any fish or wildlife
population or habitat neither will it affect any period of California history or
prehistory beyond those addressed in FEIR 544A.
B. The project has been redesigned to have as little impact as possible to the
surrounding environment, thus achieving both short-term and long -term -goals.
C. EIR's 544A, 460, 485 and 486 partially satisfied the requirements of CEQA for
this project. The revision to Development Area 1, PA 2C-9 (ICPC) and PA 14
(SJHPC), of the Phase III Project's specific impacts are considered to be
individually limited, and not cumulatively considerable. The project,is not
expected to result in any impacts beyond those previously analyzed in FEIR 544A.
The Statutory Findings found in EIR 486 (prepared for the Irvine Coast Planned
Community Development Agreement) stated that no overriding considerations have
been specifically identified for this project, therefore the overriding
considerations set forth in FEIRs 485 and 544A are hereby incorporated by
Planning Area 14(SJHPC) PA 960065
Planning Area 2C-9 (ICPC) Page 15
•
•
FINDINGS: (continued)
C. (continued)
reference. The Board of Supervisors found that the benefits of the project will
outweigh the adverse environmental effect found to be unavoidable. Based on
this finding, the Board of Supervisors found that the unavoidable adverse
environment effect would be acceptable, and therefore approved the project.
D. The project, as proposed, will not have any adverse affects or impacts on humans
or otherwise. The project will not have impacts on fish or wildlife habitats or
communities, rare or endangered species or any periods of California history.
Pursuant to Section 711.4 of the Fish and Game Code the applicant shall comply
with the requirements of AB 3158 prior to the filing of the Notice of
Determination for the project in a manner meeting the approval of the Manager of
the Environmental Planning Division.

The following is a brief discussion of the major project development components
of the Phase III development. Refer to Coastal Development Permit submittal
package (Exhibit 2) Section II for additional background information.
PROJECT ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN
Three different architectural/builder product types are integrated into the
residential development of the project providing a total of 635 single-family
dwelling units. The different product types are further varied by providing
three model designs. The architectural elevations and character for all Phase
III development proposal reflect the approved Mediterranean style of
architecture using a consistent color palette for building materials, including
tile roofs. Varying pad elevation and special building articulation creates
visual interest for off -site and on -site view points. All homes, except for
homes in DA 2C-9 and PA 14, have lots 5,500 to 8,000 square feet, are two-story
with three -car garages, have four to five bedrooms, and range in floor area from
2,900 to 3,450 square feet. Homes in DA 2C-9 and PA 14 have lots averaging
4,000 square feet, are two-story with two and three -car garages, have three to
four bedrooms, and range in floor area from 2,250 to 3,750 square feet.
PROJECT PHASING
While the project is anticipated to be developed in multiple phases, each of the
residential Development Areas may also develop in phases depending on the
prevailing market conditions. Generally, following completion of the community
entry at Vista Ridge (the southerly road) and the extension of Ridge Park Road
(the northerly road), residential clusters will be developed progressively along
Ridge Park Road and the primary project collector, followed by the interior loop
road. Phased development is also facilitated by Vesting Tentative Tract Map
14786 through the creation of individual single-family lots. To accommodate the
project phasing, a series of nine (9) model home sales complexes are proposed
with locations corresponding to the major individual development areas.
PROJECT CIRCULATION
Access to the site is from Newport Coast Drive via Ridge Park Road to the north
and Vista Ridge Road to the south. Ridge Park Road is a public road that ends
at a cul-de-sac at the eastern edge of the site in development area 2C-5.
Development areas 2C-9 and 14; and, 2C-5 6-1 and 15 take access from Ridge. Park
Road from a private gated streets. Vista Ridge Road is a public road from
Newport Coast Drive to the recreation area in development area 2C-8 and then
becomes a private gated road at the residential area. Vista Ridge Road
terminates at its intersection with Ridge Park Road at Planning Area 20. A-11
residential lots take access from gated private streets that are laid out in a
series of cul-de-sac. A total of four manned or unmanned gated entrance plazas
are proposed to service the residential community. Sidewalks on both sides of
the private collector streets and sidewalks on one side of the main loop street
provides for safe pedestrian circulation.

PROJECT GRADING
The grading plan is comprised of three distinct area of development. ICPC
Development Areas 2C-1, -2, -3, -4, -6, and -7 make up the larger central
portion of the project. Development Area 2C-9 and SJHPC PA 14 comprise the
northern -most project area. Development Areas 2C-5, 6-1 and SJHPC PA 15
represent the eastern -most development. The project will be graded
incrementally by Development Areas and will require approximately_ 4,400-,000
cubic yards of cut and fill to create the development and achieve an on -site
balance. Although the Grading Plan provides an on -site balance in the earthwork
necessary to develop the project, not all individual Development Areas will
maintain an internal balance. Remedial grading will be required to correct
several areas of geologic instability within and adjacent to the project site.
Approximately 1,194,000 cubic yards of earth will require removal and
replacement according to County Standards. Contour grading techniques will be
used whenever possible along Vista Ridge and Ridge Park Roads, as well as along
the interior private streets to achieve the appearance of a gradual transition
between manufactured and natural slopes. All grading activities will be
completed in a manner consistent with the Orange County Grading Codes, Irvine
Coast and San Joaquin Hills Planned Community regulations.
PROJECT LANDSCAPING
The landscaping theme and design in the Irvine Coast Planned Community is
controlled by the ICPC/LCP and the Master CDP. The landscaping in the San
Joaquin Hills Planned Community is an extension of the Irvine Coast landscaping
theme. The landscaping theme in these communities is influenced by the historic
landscapes of the coastal Mediterranean region. The Mediterranean landscapes
are characterized by "layering" of plant material in which the ornamental
landscape of developed areas is blended with with the natural character of the
undeveloped canyons and hillsides. The landscaping program for the project is
composed of a simple palate of trees, shrubs and groundcover which unifies the
separate neighborhoods into a coherent community. The theme emphasizes the
usage of pines and eucalyptus in an open planning concept that affords greater
views from adjoining parcels. The landscaping plan is shown on Exhibit 2.13 of
the CDP submittal package.
ALTERNATE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Included with the Coastal Development Permit/Site Development Permit is a
request to allow alternate development standards in two development areas. The
applicant's request is as follows:
1) Permit the lots in "Low Density" ICPC Development Area 6-1 to be
developed at the "Medium Density" 'residential standards. Low Density
permits residential development with 30,000 square feet minimum lot
sizes. Medium density permits residential development with 2,500
square foot minimum lots. The purpose of the lot area reduction in
Development Area 6-1 is for a development standard is to allow this
portion of Planning Area 6 to be development in conjunction with the
Medium Density development standards of Planning are 2C. This
EMA REPORT June 27, 1995
PA 94-0149 The Irvine Company
Page 5 of 8
alternate development standard does not change the total number of
residential units permitted in Planning Area 6.
2) Permit driveways to be 18 feet in length from back of sidewalk to
garage entrance in ICPC Development Area 2C-9 and SJHPC Planning Area
14. The site development standard for this area is driveway lengths be
20 feet or more; or, 7 or less from the back of sidewalk to the garage
entrance.
.MASTER COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
The Phase III development includes an amendment to the Irvine Coast Planned
Community Master Coastal Development Permit (MCDP), as permitted by the LCP
Sections II-11-B and II-11-C. The applicant's proposal includes a request for
technical amendments adjusting the boundary line between residential and open
space planning areas; and, the Planned Community Statistical Table update
reflecting the current project. The Appendix section of the CDP submittal
package has a detailed narrative of this component. The following is a summary
of the Master Coastal Development Permit - Forth Amendment:
1) An adjustment to the MCDP boundary to include Planning Development Area-
6-1 from Planning Area 6;
2) A refinement to the boundary between ICPC residential PA 2C and private
open space PA 12D;
3) An adjustment to the Planning Area boundary between PA 2C and PA 12A
(Los Trancos Canyon open space). Acreage is not altered for either
Planning Area.
4) An adjustment to the boundary line between PA 2C and 6;
5) Modifications to the alignment of Vista Ridge Road; and
6) A description of the emergency/utility road from development areas
2C-4/2C-5 to PA 12A.

PUBLIC NOTICES AND REFERRAL FOR COMMENT
A -Notice of Hearing was mailed to all owners of record within 300 feet of the
subject site and a notice was posted at the site and at designated posting areas
in the County complex as is required by established public hearing posting
procedures. A copy of the planning application and a copy of the proposed site
plan were distributed for review and comment to 16 County Divisions, the cities
of Newport Beach and Irvine, Friends of the Irvine Coast and Laguna Conservancy.
COMMENTS RECEIVED
Those County divisions submitting comments recommend applicable conditions of
approval. The recommended conditions have been incorporated in to the project
conditions of approval. The Draft EIR prepared for the project and the CDP
package were distributed together. Most comments received related to the Draft
EIR. These comments and the response to the comments are contained in the Draft
EIR distributed to the Planning Commission under separate cover. The Planning
Commission should refer to the "Response to Comments" Section in the Draft EIR
for a complete discussion of the comments received. The were no site specific
comments received that raised specific land planning or zoning issues that were
not addressed in the Draft EIR.
CEOA COMPLIANCE
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) 554A has been prepared for the Irvine Coast
Planned Community Phase III Development. A report on the EIR prepared by the
EMA Environmental/Project Planning Division was distributed to the Planning
Commission under separate cover. Environmental Planning Division staff -will
present a separate presentation on EIR 554A at the hearing. The required CEQA
finding for the Coastal Development Permit and Site Development Permit is
included as Attachment A-1 of the draft Planning Commission resolution.
REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
The applicant's proposed Irvine Coast Planned Community and San Joaquin Hills
Planned Community - Phase III development includes the following for major
elements or components:
1) Coastal Development Permit/Site Development Permit to permit all
associated development involved to allow for the construction of 635
detached single-family dwelling; and,
2) Forth Amendment to the Irvine Coast Master Coastal Development Permit;
and,
3) Amendments to the PC Boundary Map and PC Statistical Table; and,
4) Modifications to certain site development standards.
0 0
EMA REPORT June 27, 1995
PA 94-0149 The Irvine Company
Page 7 of 8
Subject to approval of the requested alternate site development standards, the
proposal is in conformance with the site development regulations of both the
Irvine Coast and San Joaquin Hills Planned Community. That portion of the
project in the coastal zone is conformance with the Land'Use Polices of the
Local Coastal Program. The proposal is consistent with the overall development
theme established for both PCs.
The request for site development modifications does not appear to disrupt
orderly development established in both the Irvine Coast and San Joaquin Hills
Planned Community. The request for driveway lengths of 18 feet in ICPC
Develment Area 2C-9 and SJHPC PA 14 is becoming a normal requested modification.
More and more new residential developments are requesting this modification and
it is becoming the normal driveway length. A driveway length of 18 feet still
provides ample length for a car to park in the driveway while allowing
pedestrians to pass by on the sidewalk. Staff has no issue with the requested
modification.
The request to modify the lot size standard in Development Area 6-1 from the
minimum 30,000 square feet to a minimum of 2,500 square feet would appear to be
an unreasonable request. However, when taken in context with this Phase III
development and the future Phase IV development which includes Planning,Areas 3,
4, 5 and the balance of 6, the requested site development modification appears
to be more reasonable.
Presently PA 6 is designated as "Low Density Residential" which has the 30,000
square feet minimum lot size. PA 6 permits a total of 75 residential dwelling
units. Also the present configuration of Planning Development Map shows PA 6
separated from the PA 2C Phase III development by the future extension of Sand
Canyon Avenue. The future Phase IV development of PAs 3, 4, 5 and 6, as
presented to staff, will involve a major revision to the ICPC and will
necessitate an amendment to the Local Coastal Program. In part, Phase IV
development proposes alter Sand Canyon by deleting the extension now show going
to the City of Irvine. The Phase IV proposal has Sand Canyon connection with
Ridge Park Road in the Phase III development. In addition to the major change
to Sand Canyon, Phase IV proposed a major reconfiguration of the planning areas.
Also, open space Planning Areas 12A (Los Trancos Canyon) and 12E (Muddy Canyon),
which are presently separated by PA 5 and 6, are proposed to be joined to form
one large open space, wild life corridor as opposed to two separate areas.
By clustering the lots in'Development Area 6-1 and combining them with the PA 2C
Phase III development, less grading and infrastructure improvements; and
associated impacts to surrounding open spaces will occur than would the total
improvements required for all the larger lots presently permitted combined. The
lots in PA 6-1 will still maintain the LCP policies for development in PA 6
related to setbacks from public open space area and visual and habit resources
of Muddy Canyon.
The Planned Community Statistical Summary - Seventh Revised reflects the
adjustments in acreage, which are the result of minor modifications to Planning
Area boundaries; and, the final dwelling unit counts approved by this permit.
The Planned Community Development Map - Fifth Revision incorporates the boundary
• •
BHA REPORT June 27, 1995
PA 94-0149 The Irvine Company
Page 8 of 8
adjustments as well. These minor amendments requested are for "book keeping"
purposes to reflect the current Phase III proposal. The Master Coastal
Development Permit - First Amendment, permits Planning Commission approval of
these minor refinements without the need for an amendment to the Irvine Coast
Planned Community/Local Coastal Program. The total acreage and total dwelling
unit count for both Planned Communities is not affected by the requested
modification.
CONCLUSION
The proposed project was reviewed by staff for consistency with the Irvine Coast
Planned Community/Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan and Implementing Action
Program; and, the San Joaquin Hills Planned Community development regulation.
Staff's determination is that the proposed project, with approval of the
requested site development modification and the incorporation of the recommended
conditions of approval, is in conformance with the applicable development
regulation of both the Irvine Coast and San Joaquin Hills Planned Community.
Land Use Planning Division support the Irvine Company request for the proposed
Phase III development.

Phase III Site Development Permit for DA 2C-9/PA 14
❑ Provide an adequate level of detail to permit the re -subdivision of the ICPC DA 2C-
9/SJHPC PA 14 portion of Tentative Tract Map No. 14786 with the lotting and
construction shown on Tentative Tract Map No. 15078 (which is being processed
concurrently as a separate and distinct entitlement document and is included in the
appendices of this document for reference purposes only).
Page 2
This document has been prepared to'be consistent with the previously -approved CDP/SDP and to
meet the requirements for a Site Development Permit, as set forth in The Irvine Coast Local
Coastal Program (LCP), Chapter H-10-13 and San Joaquin Hills Planned Community Program,
Chapter X. It is intended to provide the Director, Orange County Environmental Management
Agency, with the necessary information to permit the above listed refinements to the approved
CDP/SDP (PA 94-0149).
Existing Conditions
The topography of the site is comprised primarily of hilly terrain that has been partially modified
by the grading and construction activities of the IRWD Reservoirs at Signal Peak and, more
recently, by the construction of Ridge Park Road.
Ongoing Tracking Procedures
Although the Phase III CDP/SDP was processed and approved as .a comprehensive plan of
development for the combined 361-acre project area, because it has been divided into as many as
16 planning areas/development areas to allow for the greatest opportunity to provide a variety of
different land uses/project types, it is likely that a number of minor modifications to the approved
development plan will be proposed prior to project build -out. These refinements will be
processed pursuant to Orange County Zoning Code Section 7-9-150.3 (h) which provides Orange
County EMA staff with some flexibility to determine if the proposed changes are in substantial
conformance with the previously -approved discretionary action.
To facilitate the orderly development of the project and provide a means for review of any
proposed plan modifications in the context of the overall project approval, a 1 " =200'-scale
Master Development Plan has been provided. This plan is intended to provide a comprehensive
picture of the proposed Site and Grading Plan refinements by placing them in the context of the
original approval. In addition, a revision block is provided to document descriptions of the
ongoing plan revisions, a revised Project Statistical Summary (if appropriate) and any appropriate
EMA project administrative references. It is anticipated that at the time any request to modify
the approved CDP/SDP plans is made, the submittal would be accompanied within an updated
Master Development Plan. In this way, County staff and the landowner will be better able to
ensure the consistency of any proposed refinements with the original approval.
Also, consistent with the approach for tracking ongoing refinements to the approved CDP/SDP, a
similar method is proposed for monitoring progressive changes to the approved Tentative Tract
Map No. 14786. A Master Community Subdivision Map will be provided to EMA Subdivision
staff to demonstrate the compatibility and consistency between subsequently prepared maps
intended to replace subareas of the originally approved Tentative Tract Map No. 14786.

NEWPORT COAST/NEWPORT RIDGE
Phase, III Site Development Permit for DA 2C-9/PA 14 Page 1
A. INTRODUCTION
I, PuMose
A Site Development Permit is requested for the combined residential development area consisting
of Irvine Coast Planned Community (ICPC) Development Area 2C-9 and San Joaquin Hills
Planned Community (SJHPC) Planning Area 14, located along the northern side of Ridge Park
Road, as indicated by Exhibit 1, Project Location Map. This area represents the first
development project within the approved Newport Coast Phase III CDP/SDP.
The combined CDP/SDP for the Newport Coast Phase III development projects (PA 94-0149)
was approved by the Orange County Planning Commission on June 27, 1995 (Resolution No. 95-
13). Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 14786 was subsequently approved on June 28, 1995 by
the Orange County Subdivision Committee. The project was later re -approved by the Orange
County Board of Supervisors with their denial of an appeal on August 8, 1995 (Resolution No.
95-597).
The above stated project approvals provided for the construction of a total of 635 dwelling units
on lots ranging in size from 4,000 to 8,000-square feet and all associated infrastructure on a
combined total of approximately 361-acres (gross). The residential project area consists of
292.4-acres (gross), excluding Signal Peak facilities in DA 2C-10 and the Community Park in
DA 2C-8. The total number of units approved as well as the project density of 2.2 dwelling
units per acre fall far below the Medium -High Density Residential land use category which
ranges from 3.5 to 6.5 dwelling units per acre. Additionally, the recreation/open space
component of the approved project totals approximately 50-acres (gross), excluding the 12.5-acre
active recreation and view park located adjacent to the existing IRWD reservoir site along Vista
Ridge Road in DA 2C-8.
This submittal is the result of design modifications that better represent the marketing program of
the builder, California Pacific Homes, and also responds to more detailed engineering
information now available for the ICPC DA 2C-9/SJHPC PA 14 site. Approval of this Site
Development Permit will allow for the following modifications to the approved CDP/SDP (PA
94-0149) Site Development Plans:
❑ Provide for minor adjustments (1.1-acre total) in the Planning Area boundaries between
ICPC PAs 8 and 2C and SJHPC PAs 13, 14 and 19;
t] Substitute amended Site Development, Grading and Landscape/Fuel Modification Plans for
ICPC DA 2C-9/SJHPC PA 14;
❑ Implement a process for tracking ongoing minor modifications to the approved CDP/SDP;
❑ Reduce ICPC DA 2C-9 by 1 unit; resulting in 489 total units within PA 2C;
❑ Increase SJHPC PA 14 by 1 unit from 63 units to 64 units; well under the permitted
maximum of 89 units;
❑ Provide for revisions to the design of the gated community entrance;
❑ Provide for the inclusion of a community recreation area, including improvements such as
a swimming pool, restrooms, sun deck and barbecue areas; and

This Administrative Site Development Permit, for residential Development Area 2C-9 of the Irvine Coast Planned Community and residential
Planning Area 14 of the San Joaquin Hills Planned Community, proposes refinements to the previously approved Coastal Development
Permit (PA 94-0149) for the Irvine Coast to include:
• Expansion of this development project by 0.9 acres;
• One additional residential unit in SJHPC PA 14 for a total of 64;
• One less residential unit in ICPC DA 2C-9 for a total of 25;
• Site Plan refinements to lot lines and street alignments;
• Refinements to the Grading Plan to incorporate Site Plan Revisions and enhanced view opportunities;
• Modifications to the gated entry courtyard and the Landscape/Fuel Modification Plan; and
• The addition of a community recreation center within SJHPC PA 14.
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS:
Portions of the site have been modified by the grading and construction of Vista Ridge Road, the IRWD's Zone 4 Reservoir, the 6.8 acre
signal transmission towers site and the adjacent residential development in Planning Area 2B-3. The IRWD Zone G and 6 Reservoirs are
currently under construction. Additionally, the site has been modified by construction of an SCE utility access road into Los Trancos
Canyon. The SJHPC portion of the project is currently undeveloped except for temporary improvements such as dirt access and fire roads.
