Primary access to Block 800 is provided via San Clemente Drive and Newport Center Drive, though limited by a right -turn -only access point. Santa Maria Drive, a private street, runs between these two streets. It is anticipated that this internal roadway would jointly serve the Block 800 development and Pacific Mutual located on Block 700. PCH/JAMBOREE This parcel of land is located in the northeast quadrant of the Coast Highway/Jamboree Road intersection. Project access is to be from an internal roadway parallel to Coast Highway which would intersect Jamboree Road at Back Bay Drive to the west, and Clubhouse Drive just north of Coast Highway to the east. It is anticipated that the internal roadway would jointly serve the proposed development, as well as the approved villa Point development located immediately north of the proposed site.

Primary access to the site will be along Back Bay Drive. A secondary access, limited to only right turns from Coast Highway opposite Promontory Drive, may be possible depending upon the ultimate config- uration of the Coast Highway at that point.

It connects to the surrounding arterial system via Santa Cruz Drive, Santa Rosa Drive, San Miguel Avenue, Avocado Avenue, Newport Center Drive, and Santa Barbara Avenue. Traffic signals are located at the intersection of each of these connections with the arterial system. Newport Center Drive has three lanes in each direction with a raised (and landscaped) median. Internally, traffic signals control the following intersections along Newport Center Drive (East and West): Santa Rosa Drive Newport Center Drive Santa Barbara Drive Granville Drive/Farallon Drive Coast Highway The intersections of Newport Center Drive East with San Miguel Avenue and Newport Center Drive West with Santa Cruz Avenue are controlled by four-way stop signs. Construction to install a traffic signal at Newport Center Drive and Santa Cruz is underway and is expected to be completed soon. Several other roadways are significant to circulation within Newport Cen- ter. Avocado Avenue presently extends between San Joaquin Hills Road and Farallon Drive, parallel to and west of MacArthur Boulevard. Between San Joaquin Hills Road and San Nicolas Drive, Avocado is a one-way roadway in the southbound direction. South of San Nicolas Drive to Farallon, Avocado is a two-way roadway with one lane in each direction. The intersection of Avocado Avenue at San Miguel Drive is controlled by stop signs on Avocado Avenue. In accordance with the adopted City of Newport Beach Circulation Element, Avocado Avenue would be extended to connect with the segment north of Coast Highway and would operate, in conjunction with MacArthur Boulevard, as a one-way couplet. Farallon Drive is in an approximate east -west orientation and connects New- port Center Drive and Avocado Avenue. It presently provides access to Gateway Plaza and Design Plaza. Its intersection with Newport Center Drive (across from Granville Drive) is controlled by a traffic signal. Anacapa Drive extends between Newport Center Drive East and Farallon Drive and provides access to Design Plaza, Gateway Plaza and Block 100. San Clemente Drive lies between Santa Barbara Drive and Santa Cruz Drive. Its intersection with Santa Barbara Drive is controlled by a traffic sig- nal. C.. 19 San Nicolas Drive connects Newport Center Drive East and Avocado Avenue between Blocks 400 and 500. It also extends west of Newport Center Drive as a driveway, and provides access to Fashion Island. FASHION ISLAND Fashion Island access is provided at eleven locations along Newport Center Drive. At nine of these locations, full access (left and right turns) is provided. Three of these locations (Santa Rosa Avenue, Santa Barbara Avenue and Newport Center Drive) are controlled by traffic signals. The access location along Newport Center Drive at Santa Cruz Drive permits full Fashion Island access and is controlled by four-way stop signs. Construction to signalize this intersection is underway and will be completed in the near future. Full access is also provided along Newport Center Drive at San Miguel Avenue, also controlled by four-way stop signs. At the present time, the OCTD bus passenger waiting facility is located along the San Miguel access leg into Fashion Island. Breaks in the median along Newport Center Drive permit full access to/from Fashion Island at Center Drive, Anacapa Drive, San Nicolas Drive and east of the Newport Turtle. The minor streets at each of these locations are controlled by stop signs. Right -turns -only out of Fashion 4sland onto Newport Center Drive are pos- sible west of Santa Cruz Drive. Right -turn -only in and out of Fashion Island is permitted onto Newport Center Drive east of Santa Cruz Drive. Figure _ shows the existing circulation system within Fashion Island. The proposed modifications to the access and circulation for Fashion Island would eliminate the right -turn drive onto Newport Center Drive east of Santa Cruz Drive and would close the full access locations to Fashion Island along Newport Center Drive at Center Drive and at San Nicolas Drive. At Center Drive and at San Nicolas Drive, the Fashion Island vehicular access roads would be convert to provide enhanced pedestrian access to the center. At Center Drive a twelve foot wide walkway from Newport Center Drive to the mall entrance near Neiman Marcus would be developed. At San Nicolas Drive, a ten foot wide walkway would extend from Newport Center Drive to the mall, near Atrium Court. BLOCK 600 Block 600 is bounded by San Joaquin. Hills Road on the north, Newport Center Drive on the south, Santa Cruz Drive on the west and Santa Rosa Drive on the east. Full Block 600 access is currently provided on Santa Cruz Drive at San Clemente Drive, on Santa Rosa Drive directly across from the access to Block 500, and on San Joaquin Hills Road between Santa Cruz Drive and Santa Rosa Drive. Right -turn only access is provided on Newport Center Drive between Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Drives. 21 )u'� t/o Existing development within Block 600 consists of approximately 800,000 7)72 -Pw,4 square feet of office space. A 325-room hotel (the Four Seasons) is pres- -k� Yatk' ently under construction and due for completion in Summer 1986., BLOCK 800 Block 800 is the area located within San Clemente Drive, Newport CenterQ Drive, Santa Barbara Drive and Santa Cruz Drive. The proposal included in GPA 85-1(B) would permit the development of approximately 440,000 square feet of additional office space within this area. Primary access to Block 62C&A�v ? 800 is provided via San Clemente Drive.
