NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach ordains as
follows..
Section 1: The City Council does hereby approve the PC Amendment referred
to as PA2022-0158 to amend the Corporate Plaza Planned Community (PC-17)
Development Plan as set forth in Exhibit "B," which is attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.
Ordinance No. 2024-2
Page 3 of 7
Section 2: An amendment to the PC-17 Development Plan is a legislative act.
Neither the PC-17 Development Plan, Chapter 20.66 (Planning and Zoning,
Amendments) of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the NBMC, nor Article 2 (Adoption of
Regulations) of Chapter 4 (Zoning Regulations) of Division 1 (Planning and Zoning) of
Title 7 (Planning and Land Use) of the California Government Code set forth any
required findings for either the approval or denial of such amendments. Nonetheless,
the PC Amendment is consistent with the City of Newport Beach General Plan and the
purpose and intent of the PC-17 Development Plan.
Findings and Facts in Support of Findings of General Plan Consistency:
1. The Project includes a GPA to amend the development limit for Anomaly Number
34. The development limit for the anomaly will be increased by 2,711 square feet to
a maximum of 471,591 square feet. The GPA does not include a change in land
use category and would remain as Regional Commercial Office (CO-R).
2. The Project is in furtherance of the General Plan's Goals and, specifically, the
following Policies:
a. Land Use Element Policy LU1.1 (Unique Environment). Maintain and
enhance the beneficial and unique character of the different neighborhoods,
business districts, and harbor that together identify Newport Beach. Locate
and design development to reflect Newport Beach's topography, architectural
diversity, and view sheds.
b. Land Use Element Policy LU6.14.4 (Development Scale). Reinforce the
original design concept for Newport Center by concentrating the greatest
building mass and height in the northeasterly section along San Joaquin Hills
Road, where the natural topography is highest and progressively scaling
down building mass and height to follow the lower elevations toward the
southwesterly edge along East Coast Highway.
The Project will add a new medical office to an area of the City that is already
developed with professional offices. The additional floor is located entirely
underground resulting in no visible change to the character of the PC-17
Development Plan or to the greater Newport Center area.
Ordinance No. 2024-2
Page 4 of 7
c. Land Use Element Policy LU1.4 (Growth Management) Implement a
conservative growth strategy that enhances the quality of life of residents and
balances the needs of all constituencies with the preservation of open space
and natural resources.
d. Land Use Element Policy LU3.3 (Opportunities for Change). Provide
opportunities for improved development and enhanced environments for
residents in the following districts and corridors, as specified in Polices 6.3.1
through 6.22.7: Fashion Island/Newport Center: expanded retail uses and
hotel rooms and development of residential in proximity to jobs and services,
while limiting increases in office development.
e. Land Use Element Policy LU4.1 (Land Use Diagram). Accommodate land
use development consistent with the Land Use Plan.
f. Land Use Element Policy LU6.14.2 (Newport Center). Provide the
opportunity for limited residential, hotel, and office development in
accordance with the limits specified by Tables LU1 and LU2.
While the Project would add 2,711 square feet in intensity, the actual medical
office will be approximately 5,081 square feet. There is currently 2,370 square
feet of unbuilt intensity within Anomaly Number 34. It is unlikely that the
unbuilt intensity would be used to develop new retail or hotels, as suggested
in Land Use Element Policy LU3.3, as Anomaly Number 34 is specific to the
PC-17 Development Plan where only office uses are allowed. The increase
helps provide a viable development opportunity to use the unbuilt intensity.
The Applicant has stated that reducing the size of the office would render the
Project infeasible.
g. Land Use Element Policy LU1.5 (Economic Health) Encourage a local
economy that provides adequate commercial, office, industrial, and marine -
oriented opportunities that provide employment and revenue to support high -
quality community services.
h. Land Use Element Policy LU2.2 (Sustainable and Complete Community).
Emphasize the development of uses that enable Newport Beach to continue
as a self-sustaining community and minimize the need for residents to travel
outside of the community for retail, goods and services, and employment.
Ordinance No. 2024-2
Page 5of7
i. Land Use Element Policy LU2.4 (Economic Development). Accommodate
uses that maintain or enhance Newport Beach's fiscal health and account for
market demands, while maintaining and improving the quality of life for
current and future residents.
While other types of professional offices have incurred higher vacancy rates
in a post COVID-19 environment, medical offices remain in demand. The
Project diversifies the allowed uses within Building Site 20 which is in line with
market demands. Additionally, the Project provides for an additional service
use, increasing the likelihood residents can remain within the community
when accessing medical procedures.
Facts in Support of Finding of PC-17 Development Plan Consistency:
1. The PC-17 Development Plan was originally adopted in 1992, and has since
been amended five times. The PC-17 Development Plan encompasses
approximately 48 acres of developed commercial area and provides a method
whereby properties may be classified and developed for commercial activity,
professional, business, and medical offices. The most recent amendment in 2015
included transferring 15,468 square feet of office intensity out of PC-17
Development Plan and into the North Newport Center (PC-56) Planned
Community.
2. The PC-17 Development Plan sets a maximum development limit not to exceed
468,880 gross square feet. While the PC-17 Development Plan allows for
adjustments to square footage for individual building sites to be reviewed by the
Community Development Director, this provision only applies if the overall
development limit is not exceeded. In this case, the Project increases the total
square footage for 20 Corporate Plaza, referred to within the PC-17 Development
Plan as Building Site 20, and the total development within the PC-17
Development Plan above the specified limit of 468,800 square feet. The PC-17
Development Plan must be amended to account for the increase.
3. Additionally, while the PC-17 Development Plan allows for medical offices, they
are restricted to specific building sites. Currently, 20 Corporate Plaza is not listed
as a building site where medical uses are allowed. The PC-17 Development Plan
must be amended to allow a maximum of 5,081 gross square feet of medical
office within Building Site 20.
Ordinance No. 2024-2
Page 6 of 7
4. The Project would allow for a minor increase to the development limit and the
expansion of an already permitted use to an additional building site. The Project
is generally consistent with the purpose and intent of the PC-17 Development
Plan and would not change the operational character of the PC-17 Development
Plan.
Section 3: The City Council finds the introduction and adoption of this
ordinance is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or
Conversions of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because the Class 3 exemption includes
the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor
modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. The exemption also includes
additions of up to 10,000 square feet to an office within an urbanized area on sites
zoned for such use if not using a significant amount of hazardous substances, all
necessary public services are available, and the surrounding area is not
environmentally sensitive. The Project involves the conversion of subterranean parking,
in an urbanized area, resulting in an addition of 5,081 square feet of office floor space,
which is consistent with the Class 3 exemption.
The exceptions to this categorical exemption under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA
Guidelines are not applicable. The Project location does not impact an environmental
resource of hazardous or critical concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does
not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, does not
damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site,
and is not identified as a historical resource.
Section 4: The recitals provided in this ordinance are true and correct and are
incorporated into the substantive portion of this ordinance.
Section 5: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not
affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The
City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each section,
subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
Ordinance No. 2024-2
Page 7 of 7
Section 6: Except as expressly modified in this ordinance, all other sections,
subsections, terms, clauses and phrases set forth in the PC-17 Development Plan shall
remain unchanged and shall be in full force and effect.
Section 7: The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall attest to the passage
of this ordinance. The City Clerk shall cause the ordinance, or a summary thereof, to be
published pursuant to City Charter Section 414. This ordinance shall be effective thirty
(30) calendar days after its adoption.

of Newport Beach held on the 23rd day of January, 2024, and adopted on the 13t" day of
