PURPOSE ' A Site Development Permit (SDP) is requested for Development Area 2C-lb which is located within the Newport Coast Planned Community Residential Planning Area 2C, as ' shown on Exhibit 1.1, Regional Location Map, and Exhibit 1.2, Project Location Map. The Newport Coast Local Coastal Program designates Planning Area 2C for Medium - ' Density Residential development (3.5 to 6.5 DU/Ac). This land use designation provides for single-family detached, attached and multi -family housing projects. The proposed SDP reflects modifications to the Site Plan, Grading Plan and project architecture, while maintaining the currently approved forty-one (41) single-family detached homes. ' ' This SDP has been prepared to provide the Director, Orange County Planning and Development Services with the necessary background and supporting information to ' permit the following refinements in Development Area 2C-lb: ' ■ Revision of the previously -approved lotting design to accommodate new architecture on lots averaging 9,000 square feet; ■ Revised architectural elevations and floor plans; and ' ■ Modification of the Grading Plan to add seventeen (17) retaining walls internal to the site to support varying pad elevations and increased lot sizes. ' This document has been prepared to be consistent with the previously -approved Coastal Development Permit (CDP) (PA 970077) and to meet the requirements for a Site Development Permit, as set forth in the Newport Coast Local Coastal Program, Chapter II 10-13.

BACKGROUND 1 F I 1 The Master CDP - Fifth Amendment for Planning Area 2C (Planning Application 970076), was approved by the Orange County Planning Commission on September 23, 1997 (Resolution No. 97-06). PA 970076 permitted construction of a total of 490 residential units in five subareas, including a combination of detached and attached housing products, infrastructure and residential collector streets. A CDP for Development Area 2C-lb (PA 970077) was approved concurrently with the Master CDP - Fifth Amendment permitting the development of 41 single-family detached units on 21.5 acres in DA 2C-lb. In its approval, the Planning Commission determined that the development proposal for the construction of 41 units in DA 2C-lb was consistent with the certified Local Coastal Program (LCP), Master Coastal Development Permit - Fifth Amendment and EIR No. 544A. Subsequent to the Planning Commission approval, the Orange County Subdivision Committee conditionally approved Tentative Tract Map No. 15394 on October 29, 1997. Final Map No. 15394 was recorded on December 22, 1998 (Instrument No. 19980885199, Book 778, Page 12-17 MM).

EXISTING CONDITIONS ' Construction of Vista Ridge Road from the southern limits of DA 2C to the intersection ' with Ridge Park Road is complete. Rough grading activity is completed in DA 2C-lb in conformance with approved Tentative Tract Map No. 15394. A Precise Grading Permit ' GB 990185 is currently being reviewed by the County of Orange Development and Planning Services Department which proposes minor modifications to the existing grades and construction of additional retaining walls to accommodate the revised lotting design and architectural product types within DA 2C-lb. Construction is currently underway in all adjoining Phase III Residential Development Areas.

SITE PLAN 1 As shown on Exhibit 2.1, Development Plan, the approved plan for 37 single-family detached units (4 of the approved 41 units were constructed as part of the Perazul I ' project in accordance with PA 960155) have been modified to reflect new architectural products consistent with the product types constructed with adjacent Development Area ' 2C-la. Four cul-de-sac streets provide access to lots averaging 9,000 square feet. Residential Development Area 2C-lb remains at approximately 21.5 acres (gross) ' resulting in an overall density of 1.9 dwelling units per acre for the site (see Table 2-A). ' Consistent with LCP residential development standards, building site areas will be a minimum of 2,500 square feet with 10-foot minimum building setbacks from any exterior ' property line abutting a street. Straight -in garages will be setback a minimum of 20 feet, and side entry garages are a minimum of 10 feet. All units will utilize roll -up style ' garage doors with automatic door openers. t Minor modifications to the internal grades will not require any modifications to the previously -approved cul-de-sac street design, infrastructure systems for drainage, water ' and wastewater. Similarly, the approved landscape palette and design remain unchanged from the current approval. ' As shown on Exhibit 2.2, Model Complex Location Plan, the Development Area 2C-lb ' (Perazul II) project will utilize the existing model/sales complex located in adjacent Development Area 2C-la.

Coastal Development Permit (PA 990212) proposes to modify previously approved Planning Application (PA) 970076-81 (Orange County Planning Commission-9/23/97, Resolution 97-06) which proposed to establish 41 residential units Planning Area 2C-lb. PA 990212 proposes to construct the remaining 37 detached Single Family (SFD) units (4 of the previously approved 41 were constructed with PA 960155), modifying only the architecture and proposing minor modifications to grading. Tentative Tract Map No. 15394 for PA 2C-lb was conditionally approved by the Subdivision Committee on October 29, 1997 and subsequently recorded on December 22, 1998 (Instrument No. 19980885199, Book 778, Pages 12-17 MM). The proposed modifications are only to the architecture; the minor modifications to grading will not require revisions to the recorded Tract Map 15394. Minor modifications to the internal grades will not require any modifications to the previously approved cul-de-sac street design, or infrastructure systems for drainage, water and wastewater. The approved landscape palette and design remain unchanged from the current approval. The proposed revision are to portions of the Newport Coast Planned Community, Planning Area 2C lb. • The revised plan proposes modifications to PA 970077 for architecture, minor grading, and the addition of retaining walls on lots 1, 4-8, 15-18, 21, 24 & 25, 31-34. PROJECTLOCATION: The project is located in the coastal area of south unincorporated Orange County between the cities of Newport Beach/Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach. The project site in on the inland side of Pacific Coast Highway, easterly of the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Crystal Cove Drive. CEQA DETERMINATION- The CEQA documentation for your proposed project has been completed by the Environmental Planning Division. Based upon its review, E&PPSD has determined that the proper CEQA documentation for the Project is previously certified FEIR 544A. The following information is attached to this memo for your consideration: I. Instructions for Filing CEQA Documents with the County Clerk; and II. CEQA Statement, Action and Findings which should be used for Staff Reports and AITs for the Project, including: A. CEQA Compliance Statement for AIT and Staff Report; and B. Recommended Action for Decision-maker(s) to Re -Certify EIR; and C. Fish and Game Code Finding for Approval of Project; and D. NCCP Findings for Approval of Projects. III. Initial Study Analysis. If clarification is needed regarding this Memo or if there are questions, please contact the following staff person from PDS/Environmental & Project Planning Services Division: E&PPSD Staff Contact: Lyn Ahrens Telephone Number: (714) 834-5154 George Britton, Manager PDS/Environmental & Project Planning Services Division ate::-/ le: �Q(M VJ. Qn',mw Q � Attachments: Attachment A: Filing Instructions for County Clerk Attachment 1: Recommended CEQA Statements, Actions, Findings Attachment 2: Initial Study Analysis FILING CEQA 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 Management Services/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. 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) must be filed with the County Clerk. 2. E&PPSD has determined that your project is exempt from the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) fees because the required fees were previously paid, a memo will be provided by E&PPSD and must accompany your projects NOD. You will need to fill in the information on the NOD 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 NOD, and keep the original set. The Clerk will issue a receipt for the Environmental document which must be returned to Management Services/Accounting Services by the end of the day. A copy of a stamped NOD must be sent to E&PPSD for the file. PA RECOMMENDED CEQA STATEMENTSAND FINDINGS FOR STAFFREPORTSIAITs A. CEQA COMPLIANCESTATEMENT (FOR TEXT OFSTAFFREPORTIAIT): The CEQA compliance statement, located in the text of the staff report shall include the following statement unless advised otherwise by County Counsel or the Manager, Environmental & Project Planning Services Division. The proposed project is covered by Final EIR 544A, previously certified on 6/27/95, appealed, the appeal was denied and Final EIR 544A recertified 8/8/95. Prior to project approval, the decision -maker must assert that this EIR is adequate to satisfy the requirements of CEQA for the proposed project. I find that following is true of this proposed project: (1) No substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken, which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) No new information of substantial importance which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete was adopted, shows any of the following: (A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR; (B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) Mitigation Measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerable different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. B. RECOMMENDED ACTION STATEMENT FOR APPROVING PROJECT: State law requires that action on a CEQA document be taken by the decision -maker prior to approval of the project for which it has been prepared. The following action must be taken before action on the project, unless directed otherwise by County Counsel or the Manager, Environmental & Project Planning Services Division. • The decision -maker has determined that Final EIR 544A, previously certified on 6/27/95, appealed, the appeal denied and Final EIR 544A re -certified 8/8/95, satisfies the requirements of CEQA and has been approved as the Program EIR for the proposed project based upon the following findings: a, Based on the Initial Study, it is found that the EIR serves as the Program EIR for the proposed project; and b. The approval of the previously certified Final EIR for the project reflects the independent judgment of the Lead Agency. C. FISHAND GAME CODE FINDING FORAPPROVAL OFPROJECT.- Find that pursuant to Section 711A of the California Fish & Game Code, this project is exempt from payment of required fees as it has been determined that the required fees have been paid, EIR 544A, Receipt Document Number No. D. NCCP FINDING FOR APPROVAL OFPROJECT: 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 comply with approved Coastal/Central Subregional Natural Communities Conservation Planning (NCCP) Program Newport Coast PC, PA 3A-2a.b,c Page 3 PA 990152 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS CHECKLIST The following checklist takes into consideration the preparation of an environmental document preparedatan earlier stage of the proposed project.

PREFACE In 1995, the County of Orange (County) approved Planning Application No. PA 94 0149, a Coastal Development Permit/Site Development Permit for the devel- opment of the 360 acre "Phase III" area of the Irvine Coast Planned ' Community/Local Coastal Program (changed to Newport Coast Planned Com- munity per LCP - Second Amendment). The overall project included a Master Plan for 635 homes and private open space on 360 acres with an overall density of 2.2 dwelling units per acre. At the time of project approval, it was anticipated that the project would be developed by The Irvine Company and sold as pre -graded sites to individual builders. Included was a Coastal Development Permit for 490 units in Medium Density Residential Planning Area 2C of the Irvine (Newport) Coast and 92 units in Medium Density Planning Areas 14 and 15 of the San Joaquin Hills Planned Community. The previous discretionary approval was processed concurrently with the 1 Master Coastal Development Permit (Master CDP) - Fourth Amendment. The amendment included realignment of common boundaries for Newport Coast PAs 2C, 6, 12A, and 12D and modifications to the alignment of Vista Ridge ' Road. Included in the infrastructure portion of this Master CDP - Fourth Amendment was a replacement of Vista Ridge Road with a circulation system that eliminated a through connection to Ridge Park Road from Newport Coast Drive. Additionally, EIR No. 544A was prepared and certified, outlining mitiga- tion and project design features allowing for construction of roadways, master infrastructure improvements, and the subdivision and construction of individ- ual building sites. Since the time of the Phase III project approvals, Assessment District No. 88-1 has completed construction of Ridge Park Road to the Signal Peak area and residential construction is underway in DA 2C-9 and PA 14 San Joaquin Hills Planned Community (SJHPC) ("Campobella"), an 89 single family unit project on 28 acres. Additionally, with the Planning Commission's approval of Planning ' Application PA 960155 on June 24, 1997, grading operations will commence shortly for 57 single family units on 35 acres in DA 2C-la. As exemplified by the two above referenced projects, the market for large-scale development has changed such that smaller development increments are re- quired for builders to obtain construction financing. As a result, five (5) Coastal Development Permits for Development Areas 2C-lb, -2, -3, -4, and-5 (PA ' 970077-970081) are proposed to replace a major portion of the previously approved large-scale development plan in the western and central portions of PA 2C in the NCPC. The proposed PA 2C CDPs Development Area boundaries ' are substantially consistent with the LCP - Second Amendment and cover ap- proximately the same development limits (approximately 200 acres) as DAs 2C- 1, -2, -3, -4. -6, and -7 in the previous Phase III approval (see Figure 1). I To facilitate the PA 2C CDP projects, the Master CDP - Fifth Amendment (PA 97 0076) is being processed concurrently.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AREA JUNE 1997 Figure 1 i Planning Area 2C Coastal Development Permits Boundary Comparison Map U rsaAmdates, Inc. II II II U Vista Ridge Road, a 40 foot wide (pavement only) major collector currently being constructed by the Irvine Coast Assessment District. The Master CDP - Fifth Amendment reestablishes the previously approved Master CDP - First Amendment (CD 89-11P) alignment for Vista Ridge Road. Approval of the Master CDP - Fifth Amendment will establish two 40 foot wide (pavement) collectors to provide interior circulation for PA 2C. The Master CDP will also provide for mass grading of the entire PA 2C area; adjustment to exterior Plan- ning Area boundaries (12D and 2C) will include areas proposed for grading and fuel modification within residential development areas. The project proposals are similar to the previous Phase III approval; all Devel- opment Areas are being developed with the Medium Density Residential land use designated for PA 2C (3.5 to 6.5 units per acre) on minimum building sites of 2,500 square feet. The proposed PA 2C project actually decreases the overall density within the same limits of development. The projects have also been designed to be consistent with all applicable site development standards of the Newport Coast PC. LCP Second Amendment A second amendmentto the Irvine Coast LCP has been approved by the Califor- nia Coastal Commission (October, 1996), and certified by the County Board of Supervisors and California Coastal Commission (December, 1996). None of the LCP Second Amendment changes substantively affect the Newport Coast Phase III projects. As noted below, there are a number of name changes; however, no land use policies or dwelling unit counts changed with respect to Phase III or PA 2C. The changes are described for informational purposes. This second amendment affects a number of land use planning aspects of the Newport Coast, including, among others, the adjustment of development/open space boundaries adjacent to Crystal Cove State Park to improve habitat con- nectivity; an increase in the maximum number of dwelling units allowed in undeveloped planning areas to match the low end of density ranges established by the land use categories while maintaining the maximum allowed 2,600 total residential units in the NCPC; adjust/expand the types of recreational uses allowed in PA 12 C; add equestrian centers as a permitted use in PAs 5, 6 and 12C. The project location map, Figure 2, also illustrates the land use plan of the LCP Second Amendment. The second amendment also provides for some technical revisions to the LCP, including name changes to roads and planned communities, and designation of new planning area numbers for El Morro Elementary School and Laguna Beach Water District sites. The technical changes most relevant to the revised Phase III project include the changing of the name "Irvine Coast Planned Community" to "Newport Coast Planned Community," and "Pelican Hill Road" to "Newport Coast Drive." What was formerly called "Lower Loop Road" is now called "Pelican Hill Road," and "Upper Loop Road" is now Vista Ridge and Ridge Park Roads.

INTRODUCTION The Newport Coast Planned Community (NCPC) contains 9,493 acres of unin- corporated land in the coastal foothills of Orange County. The Newport Coast is bordered on the north by the City of Newport Beach, on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the City of Laguna Beach, and on the east by San Joaquin Hills Planned Community. Planning Area 2C is located within the northern portion of the NCPC on the east side of Newport Coast Drive, south of Ridge Park Road, and north of Vista Ridge Road (see Figure 2, Project Location Map). Private Open Space Planning Area 12D and Development Area 2C-9 (under construction) lie to the north, Public Open Space Planning Area 12A (Los Trancos Canyon) lies to the south, Planning Area 2B-3 (developed) lies to the west. The remaining undeveloped Planning Areas in 2C (DAs 7 and 8) and PA 6-1 and 15 (SJHPC) lie to the east. The Master CDP project area includes all of PAs 2C, 12D and 6-1 (see Figure 2). ZUS27NG CONDITIONS 4T71U# The elevation of the site ranges from about 840 feet above sea level to approxi- mately 1,166 feet above sea level. There are existing residential developments in Planning Area 2B-3 to the west, and construction underway in Development Area 2C-9 and Planning Area 14 (SJHPC) north of Ridge Park Road. Rough grading activity is underway in the western portion of DA 2C-1a per Grading Permit No. GA 95-0046 issued consistent with the Master CDP - Fourth Amendment and approval PA 96.0155. Grading is also currently underway in conjunction with the extension of Vista Ridge Road (Grading Permit No. GA 96- 0040). The Master CDP amendment focuses primarily on a 310 acre (gross) subarea in the undeveloped northeastern portion of the Master CDP area and provides for the following: • Reestablishment of Vista Ridge Road (formerly Upper Loop Road) as a public street with the 'alignment approved in the Master CDP - First Amendment (CD89-11P); Construction of a community collector ("A" Street) through the western portion of Planning Area 2C; Establishes an additional community collector street C'B" Street) provid- ing access from Vista Ridge Road to the eastern portions of PA 2C; 9/15,97KI:\CCB638\OUTLINE.WPD» 5 1 ' - -'-•- i. ta0 at ' atr.t u y OmVrtOYtNMWd'11 t 14 � 1 17 e 711 10 at 7 e is I 4 ° xit■ 7 1e n a � 10 7 1a a We to 1-0 7 202 292 DEVELOPMEM•AFFAS 2Glb,-2,•3,-4and-6 12E Moor CANYON Nv�a� lAe�� 1 �tY z1•t mte 1tA 2Eu iFt ' 1I 1D2 44 P618CY7 ryey iiO 1702 11a it ' tA 17E7 1761 17D@ ta\ 48 1ea1 170-1 17F1 1ea2 13F 178 ' UA 1M 179 °ELICANHILL 17A2 PIEUCµH1 DDIrWCOLNISE GOLF 7A: taa 17 31 PA= a ww..r 344 14 e2 77 (RfarHDNEafA7EPARt ' POW at .—.

The Master CDP - Fifth Amendment is proposed as the entitlement document for the following development rights: • Updates to technical data contained in the Master CDP (CD 88-11P) and ' subsequent amendments including tables, exhibits, and text to maintain consistently with the LUP - Second Amendment; • Serves as a basis for approval of Vesting "A" Tentative Tract Map No. 15393 by the Orange County Subdivision Committee, providing for the subdivision of the undeveloped portion of the Master CDP project area ' (and areas within the San Joaquin Hills PC to the north) into large par- cels for financing, sale to builders, grading, or dedication to the County of Orange; ' Permit construction of remaining backbone domestic and reclaimed water distribution systems from existing storage facilities constructed by the Irvine Ranch Water District and The Irvine Company; ' Permit construction of master drainage and sewer systems within pro- posed streets to serve future development; and • Incorporates minor revisions to acreages and Planning Area boundaries as shown on the PC Development Map and Statistical Table as provided ' for in LCP Chapter II-11. Natural Communities Conservation Program ' The Master CDP - Fifth Amendment includes grading for roads, mass -graded building pads for future residential construction, and future fuel modification I' zones. Pursuant to Section 10.1(b) of,the NCCP/HCP Implementation Agree- ment, a minor amendment will be processed to permit boundary adjustments that result in no net loss of reserve system acreage and no long-term net loss of subregional habitat value. The minor amendment will be processed concur- rently with this Master CDP - Fifth Amendment application and approved by the NCCP non-profit corporation prior to issuance of any applicable grading per- mits. The total acreage of the Los Trancos Canyon dedication area will not change as a result of the Master CDP - Fifth Amendment. As provided for in Chapter 3 of 'I 9l15i97<ACCE6M0VTLINE.WPD» 11 MAnoaraetr, Ina the LCP - Second Amendment, adjustments to the boundary of Los Trancos Canyon will be Incorporated into a phased irrevocable offer of dedication program (Parcel A and B sequence) to the County. The overall Newport Coast Dedication Program will maintain approximately 7,234 acres devoted to open space and ration use, which includes 2,807 areas In Crystal Cove State Park, 2,666 acres in wilderness open space, 1,161 areas in special use open space dedications, and over 600 acres in the golf course and other non -dedicated recreation areas. Planning Area Boundaries, Adjustments; Units, and Acreages Figure 1 illustrates the approved and proposed development area boundaries. Planning area boundaries have been modified due to the proposed roadway alignments and more detailed engineering study, yet proposed acreages remain within the requisite ten percent (10%) of planning area acreage approved in the NCPC as described below. The Master CDP - Fifth Amendment does not pro- pose changes In units permitted by the LCP - Second Amendment. 1. Planning Area 2C The Amendment to the Master CDP addresses the approximately 261.5 acres in PA 2C located in the northeastern portion of the MCDP. As shown on Figure 3, the refitted project boundary in this application varies from the existing LCP - Second Amendment in three (3) areas: The western boundary with existing residential development in DA 2B-3 shows a 0,7 acre net reduction resulting from modifications to the planning area boundary that incorporate grading and slope area for future fuel modification. Other minor adjustments in this area establish consistency with the construction level CDP submitted for DA 2C-1a (Planning Application PA 960155 approved on June 24, 1997). A boundary adjustment is also proposed along the southern boundary with Los Trancos Canyon to facilitate construction level grading and fuel modification. This boundary adjustment results In approximately 3.7 acres (0.6 percent) reallocated from Los Trancos Canyon PA 12A to PA 2C with no net change in overall open space acreage. Approximately 5.1 acres of large existing slopes in private open space have been reallocated from PA 2C to PA 12D. The revised PA 2C acreage, from 258.9 to 261.5 acres, represents a one percent (1.0%) increase from the LCP - Second Amendment. 9/15N791ACCB6M0UUWE.WFD» 8 L F 11 lJ U C C F PA 13 19 �\ RESIDENTIAL ; RECREATOW Q PRIVATE OPEN SPACE Plerc Coax t BourOWY ---- ,, PA14 1 BPlanix=qlolyalloundety — - - — + ` RESIDENTIAL t PA 8-1- RESIDENTIAL ^`\ LOCAL PARK PA 12D RECREATION imma AC PRIVATE OPEN SPACE 34.5 (+1.8ACIncrease) 26-3 lu RESIDENTIAL .8AC 203.3 AC (-0.7AC Decrease) PA 12A PUBLIC OPEN SPACE 606.0 AC (-3.7AC Demase) SOURCE CDC ENGINEERING INC.

Planning Area 12D ' The LCP - Second Amendment allocates 32.7 acres to Private Open Space Plan- ning Area 12D. After boundary adjustments, the Master CDP - Fifth Amendment proposes PA 12D as 34.7 acres. This acreage change represents a six percent ' (6%) increase in acreage, consistent with the maximum of ten percent (10%) permitted by the LCP - Second Amendment. PA 12D boundaries are proposed to be realigned because grading to establish residential pads in PA 2C resulted ' in a large manufactured slope on the southern edge of PA 12D, which was approved for grading based on EIR 544A. ' COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMITS Approval of the proposed Coastal Development Permits (CDP Nos. 970077-81) ' provides for development on portions of Planning Area 2C, and supports the following entitlements (addressed in the CDPs) without further Planning Com- mission approval: L I II �I A. Orange County Subdivision Committee approval of Tentative Tract Map (TTM) Nos. 15394, 15400, 15401, 15467, and 15509 (Vesting) consis- tent with the roadway alignments, mass grading, and large lot subdivi- sion shown on Tentative "A" Tract Map No. 15393 (Vesting);' B.

CEQA BASIS FOR AN ADDENDUM The potential impacts of the project have been evaluated in terms of the criteria outlined in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations) and 15164 (Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration). Between the time an EIR is certified and a project moves to the implementation stage, a number of different things can occur. As identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, these changes might include changes in the project itself, changes in the circumstances under which the project is undertaken, or new information becoming available. These changes in and of themselves would require a subsequent EIR only where the changes will result in new or in- creased significant effects. The analysis for the Master CDP Fifth Amendment and the five PA 2C CDPs, as provided in Section IV (Analysis of Impacts/ Mitigation) of this Addendum, demonstrates that these changes do not trigger the need for a subsequent EIR based on the following key criteria: ' No new significant impacts will result from the project or from new mitigation measures; ' There is not a substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact; • There are no new feasible alternatives or mitigation measures that would reduce impacts that the proponent declines to adopt. ' Any impacts that may be significant either can be mitigated to an acceptable level by adherence to mitigation measures previously identified and adopted in connection with EIR No. 544A or will not be substantially more severe than previously analyzed and discussed in EIR No. 544A. Section IV includes all of the standard conditions and mitigation measures from EIR No. 544A that apply to the project. No additional mitigation measures are required. Based on the evaluation contained in this document, the County has deter- mined that an Addendum, pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15164, is the appropriate environmental document for the project because some minor technical changes or additions are necessary, but none of the conditions trig- gering preparation of a subsequent EIR are present.

POPULATTONAND HOUSING, a - c; NO IMPACT) EIR No. 544A Impacts Previously Ident{Fted No significant land use impacts were identified; therefore, no project specific ' land use mitigation measures are required. Project Impacts Compared to Impacts Described in EIR No. 544A 1 The proposed CDP project, development and construction of 265 single family units, is consistent with and in conformance with the General Plan and its ' implementing documents: Land Use Element: (1C) Urban Residential Commu- nities; and Community Profile (1.5) Medium High Density Residential. The density range is within the designated 3.5 to 6.5 units per acre on minimum ' building sites of 2,500 square feet. There are no conflicts with zoning or Gen- eral Plan designation or with existing or planned land uses. The surrounding area either is currently being developed for residential use or is planned for permanent open space. The reconfiguration of the Planning Area 2C boundaries does not affect the land use designation and does not alter the types or intensities of these land ' uses within any of the sub -planning areas involved. EIR No. 544A provides adequate documentation for the project refinements as currently proposed.

Highly expansive soils should not be at or near final grades where structures or other improve- ments are planned, unless special design and construction procedures to mitigate the effects ofhighly expansive soils are planned. Impact 2 Z Rlppability ofDlabase and Bedrock wltbin the Project Site The proposed project will probably require very heavy ripping and blasting in the diabase and the bedrock of the Bommer Member and parts of the Los Tran. cos Member of the Topanga Formation which may result in groundshaking in the developed properties adjacent to the site. In addition, moderate to large quantities of oversize materials will be generated by ripping hard bedrock and will require special handling and disposal. Over- sized material may be placed in deep -fill areas as rock windrows or In pits. Alternate handling of oversized materials includes crushing or disposal off site. Impact 2.3. Secondary Seismic Hazards Liquefaction is not considered to be a hazard at the site. Some slight potential for seismically induced settlement is present in existing uncertified fill, topsoil, colluvium, alluvium, and weathered bedrock. Impact2.4. Slope Stability Removal of landslide materials, construction of shear keys, and placement of design fill in canyon areas are necessary to offset existing landslide hazards within the site. ,Impact2.5. Settlement The overburden soils have moderate to high compressibility characteristics, and settlement could occur if foundations, fill embankments or other Improve- ments were placed directly on these materials. Compressible/collapsible mate- rials will require excavation and removal or recompaction. Project Impacts Compared to Impacts Described in EIR No. 544A The proposed revisions will change the topography and ground surface relief features somewhat differently than identified In EIR No. 544A. However, the magnitude of these changes does not result in significant new impacts. The refinements to the project do not change any of the analysis or conclusions In EIR No, 544A. EIR No. 544A provides adequate documentation for the project refinements as currently proposed. 9/11N71(JACCB638\OUndNE.wPD» 17 ISAA=dates, Inc Project Design Features/Standard Conditions/Mitigation Measures - MCDP and PA 2C CDPs Project Design Features PDF 2-1 Per the CDP, 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.

The report shall include the information and be in a form as required by the Grading Manual (SC Gl). Mitigation Measures Mitigation Measure 2-1. RVanslon Potential Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the project applicant shall submit plans Indicating measures to avoid expansion potential. Measures should include pre -saturation of sub -grade soils, increased reinforcement of concrete elements, increased foundation embedment, use of post -tensioned grade beams and floor slabs, blanketing the surface with non -expansive compacted fill, blending ex- pansive soils with non -expansive soils, chemical stabilization, and increased jointing of buildings and improvements, as recommended by the geotechnical engineer. In addition, during project grading operations, placing expansive soils near basement walls or other retaining walls will be avoided. Lateral expansion pressures caused by wetting of expansive soils may over stress retaining walls unless walls are designed to resist the solid expansion. A buffer zone of non - expansive fill adjacent to retaining walls will limit lateral pressures against these walls. The above plan measures shall meet the approval of the Manager, PWISubdiuision and Grading Services. Mitigation Measure 2 2a: Rippability Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, in locations where harder earth and rock materials are noted and difficult ripping may be encountered, a geophysi- cal survey shall be required to identify areas requiring blasting. Any necessary blasting will be done utilizing COSHA and County standards regarding accept- able levels of associated shaking. The survey shall meet the approval of the Manager, PDS/Subdioision and Grading Services. Mitigation Measure22b: Rippability Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall Indicate on the grading plans the location of proposed oversized placement. The geotechnical review report for the grading plan should include the specific details for place- ment of oversized materials.

Remedial Grading The Project Design plans shall specify removal of existing uncertified fill, top- soil, colluvium, alluvium, and weathered bedrock prior to the development of areas proposed to support structures and other improvement areas. This measure will be verified prior to issuance of a grading permit, thereby meeting the approval of the Manager, PDS/Subdivision and Grading Services. Mitigation Measure 2-4a: Remedial Grading, PA 15 (SJHPQ Stability hazards in cut and fill slopes will be mitigated by construction of but- tresses, stabilization fills, fill keys, and conversion of cut slopes to fill slopes. Canyon filling and building setbacks may be necessary above steep natural slopes. Construction of a buttress and/or replacement of all or a portion of the cut slope with a stabilization fill will be implemented so that the slope meets the minimum 1.5 factor of safety. Preliminary buttress designs are planned for the graded SJHTC slope condition, as well as for a daylight to the existing condi- tion, should construction of the SJHTC be delayed. This measure will be veri- fied through plan check by the Manager, PDS/Subdivision and Grading Ser- vices, Grading Section, prior to issuance of grading permits in PA 15. Mitigation Measure 2-4b Temporary back cut slopes steeper than 1:1 should not be constructed during ' remedial grading for bedding conditions and, depending on field conditions, may need to be less steep. Stability of critical back cut slopes should be addi- tionally analyzed during final grading design, and mitigation measures should be provided on a case by case basis. Stability hazards in retaining wall back cuts and trenches may be satisfactorily mitigated by observing safe standard con- struction regulations and procedures, such as those of COSHA and local gov- ernmental agencies. This measure will be verified through the grading permit ' process by the Manager, PDS/Subdivision and Grading Services, prior to issu- ance of applicable grading permits. I LJ II It II Mitigation Measure 2 5 Compressible/collapsible materials will be excavated and removed, or recom- pacted to prevent ground settlement in all areas of project development. The type and sizes of all foundations for structures in the area of project develop- ment will be designed in accordance with design recommendations of the project geotechnical engineer to minimize the potential for ground settlement impacts. This measure will be verified through the grading permit process, by the Manager, PDS/Subdivision and Grading Services, prior to issuance of applicable grading permits. 9/15i97«I:\CCE638\otT LUiE.wPD» 20 II I MAssodaM; Ina 4.3 LANDFORMIMPOGRAMW (NO CIMCKUST SECTION, NO IMPACTBEYOND PEIR 544A) AIR No. 544A Impacts Previously Ident(/%d Impact 3a Major Cut andYW Areas Major cut and fill locations 50 feet or greater will be implemented.

Impact3.2 Sign(/%antLam(form Mod(/7cations The proposed project grading will result in significant modifications of existing knolls and drainage areas on -site. The modified features are part of contiguous landform features in the Newport Coast, Including Signal Peak, Los Trancos Canyon, Buck Gully, and several unnamed ridge/hill formations. Project Impacts Compared to Impacts Described in EfR No. 544A Master Grading Plan The Master Phase III Master Grading Plan (Figure 4) establishes the concept for development of large lot pads and major collector roads to service planned development in NCPC PA 2C and PA 6.1. The Master Grading Plan, consistent with Tentative "A" Tract Map No. 15393 will establish existing grades for future development of individual Development Areas. The mass grading operation Is planned to proceed from the lower elevations at the southwest portion of the site (west of Vista Ridge Road) to the higher eleva• tions at the future Intersection of Vista Ridge and Ridge Park Roads. Grading Is also phased east of Vista Ridge Road, moving up the existing rise from the south to higher elevations near Signal Peak. Figure 5, Cut and Fill Plan, demonstrates this concept. Cuts from approximately 20 to 60 feet will provide fill material to develop gradually sloping mass graded pads that blend with natural rises sur. rounding the Phase III CDP area. The eastern limits of the Phase III CDP area will serve as a portion of a borrow site providing approximately 1.3 cubic yards of fill material to establish mass graded building pads in the central areas of PA 2C on both sides of Vista Ridge Road. The borrow site shows daylight cuts within the limits of the Master CDP - Fifth Amendment area and off site in SJHPC PA 15. A balanced grading opera- tion will be achieved with a total of approximately 4,000,000 cubic yards of material and remedial grading.

The grading concept includes construction of several Loffel walls to stabilize terraced slopes between future residential pads and local streets. Loffel walls with variable heights ranging from approximately 5 to 21 feet are proposed mid -slope on manufactured slopes that front Ridge Park Road to the north and Vista Ridge Road in the central Area of PA 2C. A Loffel wall ranging from ap- proximately 3 to 13 feet will also be constructed adjacent to "A" Street to facili- tate a terrace approximately 30 feet high between development pads. Several spans of Loffel walls approximately 10 to 15 feet high will also be con- structed on slopes establishing future building sites in the western limits of PA 2C. Planting and maintenance of the Loffel walls will occur with construction in individual development areas per separate Coastal Development Permit submittals. Figures 6 and 7 show three development sections to demonstrate how the mass grading operation will provide for the terracing of large pads to facilitate future development and ensure effective drainage and compatibility with existing grades surrounding the site. Some manufactured slopes will utilize retaining walls in lieu of terrace drains. (wading Plan - CDPs The mass grading of all PA 2C CDP areas enables each individual development area to proceed independently with precise grading. The individual develop- ment areas each require less than 10,000 cubic yards of balanced grading to groom mass graded slopes, establish building sites, and install local streets and cul-de-sacs. Contour grading techniques will be used along interior private streets to reflect natural topography and achieve the appearance of a gradual transition between manufactured and natural slopes.

To implement this feature, the following aspects are included in the project design: • Contour grading of residential areas to implement a smooth and gradual transition between graded and natural slopes; undulat- ing fills blending into adjacent contours; • A variety of slopes to reflect a more natural appearance; • A series of cul-de-sacs terracing into hillsides and integrating into the natural topography of the site; • Numerous overviews within development areas result from topographically conforming site layout and earthwork. • Retaining walls only as required to achieve the topographic variation within each of the Development Areas. • Contour grading along "A" Street, Ridge Park Road and interior private streets to enact a gradual transition between manufac- tured and natural slopes. The project will be developed in accordance with the grading plan and tentative tract maps, which reflect the landform design features above. The Manager, PDS/Subdivision and Grading Services will ' verify these features during the plan check process. PDF 3-2 The project grading will be balanced overall among PAs 2C, 6-1, 14, ' 15, and 20.

IVV, wATER, a . i; NO IMPACT BE. , POND FEW 544A) EM No. 544A Impacts Previously Identoed , Impact 4.1- Runoff Volumes and Associated Streambed Impacts Development of the project area will result in a substantial increase in the total ' quantity or volume of water draining into Buck Gully, Los Trancos Canyon, and Muddy Canyon due to construction of impervious surfaces and less infiltration , of water into the soil and more water flowing over the surface. An estimated three fold increase in the total runoff volume is projected. 1 Grading is permitted in open space areas for infrastructural facilities pursuant to LCP Policy I-3-C-2b.3. , 9/1597«1.\CCB638WUTLINLWPD» 28 r MA.=odate.;1= 7 L I Direct offsets for the increase in runoff volumes are not feasible since increases in stormwater runoff and reductions in sediment production are inherent in the development of a natural area. This change was recognized by the County of Orange in previous approvals of the ICPC and SJB PC, and is not a significant adverse impact. Impact 4.2 - Peak Discharge Rates and Streambed Impacts The peak rate of runoff from the watersheds within the project boundary will experience an overall increase under post -development conditions. Detention basins will attenuate increases in peak discharges by reducing the post -develop- ment discharges at the basin outlets to rates less than the existing, natural discharge rates. Impact 4.3 - Sediment Yield With construction of the proposed project, the overall sediment yield from Buck Gully, Los Trancos Canyon, and Muddy Canyon is expected to decrease as compared to existing conditions. Impact 4.4 - Beach Sand Replenishment The continuation of natural landslide and sheet erosion processes in the natu- ral canyons downstream of the project is expected to supply the streams with sufficient quantities of sand materials to ensure the replenishment of beach sands continues. Impact 4.5 - Water Quality Urban runoff from developed areas carries pollutants from man-made surfaces and chemicals used in urban areas. It is anticipated that a majority of these pollutants will be assimilated and will infiltrate into the streambed soils before reaching the ocean. Impact 4.6 - Marine Environment Impacts Past studies concluded that no significant impacts to the marine environment would occur as the result of the Irvine Coast planned development (EIR No. 485). In the Los Trancos and Buck Gully watersheds, source controls as well as stream assimilation would limit the amount of chemical pollutant loads reach- ing these watersheds and Areas of Significant Biological Sensitivity (ASBS) (Rivertech, 1991). 9/15i974<I:\CCB638\OUTLME.WPD» 29 lSAArroclareglna ' ' Project Impacts Compared to Impacts Described to ErR No. 544A The refinements to the project do not change any of the analysis or conclusions in EIR No. 544A. EIR No. 544A provides adequate documentation for the project refinements as currently proposed. Master Drainage Improvements The Master CDP will construct storm drains in the backbone streets only. When development comes on-line in individual development areas, additional facilities will tie into the overall drainage system. The majority of storm runoff in PA 2C will be captured in underground pipes and facilities in "A" Street, "B" Street, or Vista Ridge for temporary holding In a series of detention basins and eventual release into Los Trancos Canyon, In DA 2C-1a (Planning Application PA 960155), two detention facilities are approved to be created by a natural land depression and Vista Ridge Road canyon fill. Two detention facilities in the southern region of PA 2C may also be built with grading for development. These facilities can reduce the peak runoff flows during major storms. Two major 30 inch storm drains with energy dissipators will discharge into Los Trancos Canyon from these areas. The energy dissipa- tors at the terminus of these facilities will be partially buried concrete struc- tures, about 10 feet by 10 feet. Storm drainage from the northern areas of PA 2C (west of Signal Peak) will be collected in streets and underground pipes, and connect to the existing system in Ridge Park Road, which will connect to Newport Coast Drive drains for discharge through an existing 45 inch outlet into Buck Gully. DA 2C-2 Surface runoff generated in DA 2C-2 will be collected in a series of catch basins located at low points throughout neighborhood streets and into 24 to 30 inch storm drain lines that connect to existing storm drain lines in Vista Ridge and Ridge Park Road (see CDP, Exhibit 3.21), DA 2C-2 Drainage Plan). Drainage collected in "A" Street will be conveyed to two detention basins ap- proved as part of the DA 2C-1a (PA 960155) development project located adja- cent to Ridge Park Road. A storm drain will then be extended from the deten- tion basins beyond the development limits, and discharge directly into Los Trancos Canyon through an energy dissipator being constructed as part of Vista Ridge Road improvements. DA,2C3 Storm runoff from DA 2C-3 will be captured in a series of catch basins located at the entry cul-de-sac intersections and flow in two directions. Some drainage Is via "A" Street in 24 to 36 inch storm drain lines into existing lines in Ridge 9/1597*1ACCB638\0UTUNLWPD» 30 11 ' MAsrodate; Ina Park Road, and additional flow is accommodated through the entry plaza to lines in Vista Ridge Road (see Exhibit 3.31)) provided by the Master CDP. Drainage collected in "A" Street will be conveyed to two detention basins ap- proved as part of the DA 2C-1a (PA 960155) development project located adja- cent to Vista Ridge Road. A storm drain will then be extended from the deten- tion basins beyond the development limits, and discharge directly into Los Trancos Canyon through an energy dissipator being constructed as part of Vista Ridge Road improvements. ' Drainage flowing to existing facilities in Ridge Park Road will be conveyed to an existing detention basin in DA 2B-3 adjacent to Newport Coast Drive for dis- charge into Buck Gully. ' DA2C-4 Surface runoff generated in DA 2C-4 will be collected in concrete gutters in each cul-de-sac to catch basins located in "B" Street that flow to 24 to 30 inch ' storm drain lines. Grades decrease from north to south, facilitating gravity flow into two proposed detention basins in DA 2C-4 and located adjacent to Vista Ridge Road. Consistent witli the Master Drainage and Runoff Management Plan (October, 1988), a storm drain will then be extended from the detention basins beyond the development limits, and discharged directly into Los Trancos Can- yon (PA 12A) through an energy dissipator. ' DA2C-S ' Surface runoff generated in DA 2C-5 will flow from each cul-de-sac to catch basins located in "B" Street. Twenty-four to 30 inch storm drain lines will flow into two detention basins proposed in DA 2C-4 and located adjacent to Vista ' Ridge Road.

' Project Design Features/Standard Conditions/Mitigation Measures - MCDP and PA 2C CDPs ' Project Design Features PDF 4-1 A project specific Drainage Plan (see the Master CDP and PA 2C CDPs) has been prepared for the project, and the finalized Drainage ' Plan shall be submitted to the Manager, PDS/Subdivision and Grad- ing Services for approval prior to the issuance of grading permits. Drainage from the project site will be collected in catch basins lo- cated throughout the site and conveyed to a system of storm drains, as described above. This plan identifies the locations of proposed catch basins, as well as the locations of the proposed storm drains ' 9/15/97441ACCB638\0UTLIN&.wPD» 31 LCtAWdat*4 Ma within the project area. As can be seen from the Master CDP and PA 2C CDPs, all runoff generated by the site will be conveyed to natural channels or intercepted by storm drains in the coastal devel- opment area that have been constructed or will be installed as part of the Refined MDRMP for the ICPC. The drainage plan will protect on -site structures from flooding hazards. PDF 4-2 In accordance with the Refined MDRMP and storm drain plans pre• pared for the proposed project, four permanent detention basins will be constructed as part of the project (two constructed with PA 2C-1a). Final design plans for the detention basins shallhe submit- ted to the Manager, PDS/Subdivision and Grading Services for review prior to the issuance of grading permits. The purpose of the four proposed detention basins is to reduce the peak flows during storm events. The detention basins would capture the large quanti- ties of water running quickly off the impervious surfaces, and would release the water evenly over a longer period of time. By reducing the peak flows, the maximum rate of water flowing Into the natural drainages will be equal to or less than the existing peak rates. This Is intended to reduce the excessive streambed erosion and potential downstream flooding which would occur if the flows were not de- tained (i.e. if large quantities of water released very quickly). PDF 4-3 The detention basins will be designed as "sediment balance basins," as specified in the Addendum MDRMP for Phase III. Conformance with this design criteria shall be assured by drainage plan checks, prior to the issuance of applicable grading permits, by the Manager, PDS/Subdivision and Grading Services. The basins will be designed to allow sediment flowing into the basins to pass through without being trapped. This design is intended to curb streambed erosion by allowing the incoming bedload to be transported down stream. PDF 4-4 Impact type energy dissipators will be constructed at the outlets of storm drains receiving drainage from Watersheds Bl, L1, L2 A, L4, M1, M2, and M3. The energy dissipators shall be designed to pre- vent excessive erosion adjacent to the pipe outlets. The energy dissipator at the outlet of the 60 inch pipe under Newport Coast Drive draining Watershed Bl has previously been constructed. In addition to providing energy dissipators, the outlets of all storm drains shall be extended to the bottom of the canyons. These de- sign features shall be included on the final drainage plans to be submitted to the Manager, PDS/Subdivision and Grading Services, prior to the Issuance of applicable grading permits.

The traffic analysis for FEIR NO. 485 concluded that the implementation of Newport Coast Drive would result in a net benefit to traffic flow on Pacific Coast Highway through Corona del Mar, and the diversion of more traffic to Newport Coast Drive than will be generated on Pa- cific Coast drive by development of the entire ICPC. Furthermore, the design of the local circulation system provides adequate capacity within the ICPC to result in satisfactory levels of service in the long term build out condition.

' 4.7 NOISE (CHECKLIST• x NOISE, a - b; NO IMPACT BEFOND FEIR NO.544A) EIR No. 544A Impacts Previously Identified II 11 II Impact 7.1 Short -Term Construction Noise Construction noise will occur as a result of project implementation. Construc- tion noise represents a short-term impact on ambient noise levels. 9/15i97aI:\CCB638\0UTUNE.WPD0 43 II MAwdate;Ina ' Impact 7.2 Short -Term Military Aircraft Noise The project site may experience periodic high noise levels from helicopter flyovers generated by USMCAS-Tustin. Although no specific feasible mitigation is available to reduce the noise level effects on the site, project residents should be notified of the existence of the military flyover corridor, and the potential for significant single event noise exposures while the air station remains in opera- tion. Impact 7.3 Exterior Noise Levels Four of the five modeled noise receptors (Rl, R2, R3 and R4) are anticipated to experience project related noise increases In excess of three dB. The noise increases range from 5.1 dB (at R2 and R4) to 6.0 dB (at R3). Thus, these receptors indicate that the proposed project would result in noticeable (and therefore significant) noise increases within the project site. Of these noise receptors, two (Rl and R3, both along Ridge Park Road) are predicted to ex- ceed the Orange County exterior noise standard of 65 dBA CNEL. Impact 7.4 Interior Noise Levels The proposed residential uses will be subject to meeting the 45 dBA CNEL Interior noise standards specified by the California Noise Insulation Standard and the Noise Element for the County of Orange. The analysis results indicate that all future structures in the proposed project will have exterior noise levels of 66.1 dBA CNEL or lower. Therefore, the Interior noise levels of all planned residential units will be below the 45 dBA CNEL interior noise standard (with windows closed). Project Impacts Compared to Impacts Described in BIR No. 544A The reestablishment of Vista Ridge Road will change the traffic distribution and the location of traffic noise. Traffic volumes would have to double in order to cause a noticeable increase in noise. The traffic volumes are not high enough to change any of the analysis or conclusions in EIR No. 544A. EIR No. 544A provides adequate documentation for the project refinements as currently proposed.

BIOLOGICAL RESOVRCVS, a - f NO t IMPACT BEYOND FEIR NO. 544A) EIR No. 544AImpacts Previously ldentifted Impact 8.1 - Habitat Fragmentation and Loss of Plant and Animal Resources to the 1CPC (Previously Identified) Impacts of the ICPC to biological resources include fragmentation and loss of habitat, isolation of habitat and associated animal populations, decreases in local plant communities and animal populations, and cumulative impacts. There will also be a loss of habitat for several sensitive plant and animal species. Impact 8.2 - Habitat Fragmentation and Loss of Plant and Animal Resources in the San Joaquin Hills Planned Community and Impact 8.3 - Wildlife Movement Impacts of the SJHPC to biological resources Include loss of habitat accompa- nied by decreases in local plant communities and animal populations. Impact 8.4 - Pffects on Sensitive Species The proposed project will result in a decrease in the range or number of the coastal California gnatcatcher, recently listed by the USFWS as a threatened species. Other listed species are not likely to be affected by project implemen- tation. The proposed project will result In the reduction of habitat for some sensitive non -listed species. Impact 8.5 - Loss of Coastal Sage Scrub Construction of the current Newport Coast residential community in the ICPC PAs and in the previously approved SJHPC PAs will result in the loss of approx imately 162.4 acres of this habitat (including 74.2 acres of southern cactus scrub) on site, and in immediately adjacent areas. The total loss of coastal sage scrub habitat acreage amounts to approximately 174.9 acres when the planned community impacts are added to the previously approved inf-Astrugture development impacts. An additional 5.9 acres will be subject to severe distur- bance as a result of fuel modification activity that requires the removal of high 9/15,97<.-\cC9688\0UTUNLVPD» 46 ,UAAssodate41= fuel volume plants such as California sagebrush and California buckwheat. This impact is considered significant due to continued reduction of this habitat in Southern California and the number of sensitive and special interest species associated with it. Impact 8.6- Loss of Oak Woodlands Grading impacts associated with the proposed development of the SJHPC would result in the removal of approximately 1.5 acres of oak woodlands. Removal of some brush and annual grasses is not expected to have a detrimen- tal effect on this habitat, but will minimize fire hazards to existing trees. Wild- life, which otherwise would potentially frequent this woodland, may avoid using this area due to incidental impacts associated with the proposed project and surrounding development, however. Impact 8.7 - Loss of Native Grasslands Native grasslands and scrub -grasslands are sensitive biological resources, and the loss and disruption of 46.7 acres of these communities represent a sub- stantial loss to these communities in Orange County and cismontane Southern California as a whole. Note: includes impacts from planning areas not part of the Master CDP or PA 2C CDPs. Impact 8.8 - Effects on ESHA Drainages The uppermost reaches, or "headwaters," of three drainages, designated as Category "D" ESHAs, will be directly impacted by the proposed development in PA 2C. Alone, this impact is not considered significant, because these drainages contain water flows only when it rains and have little or no riparian vegetation associated with them. However, the project will contribute to the significant cumulative impact of the loss of Category "D" ESHA drainages. Impacts to the ESHA A drainages within the Newport Coast, including Los Trancos Canyon, will occur as the result of infrastructure development. Planned road construc- tion will require filling of portions of some drainages, as will the construction of water and sewer lines and drainage facilities throughout the Planned Com- munity. Impact 8.9 - Long Term Human Disturbance Long-term human disturbance will have incidental impacts on the surrounding habitats, as recognized and discussed in previous environmental documents. Impact 8.10 - Construction Impacts Construction activities may entail ancillary impacts to sensitive habitat adjacent to the construction area. 9/15/97< -.\CCB638\OU=E.WPD» 47 1 LSAAwOateghm , Impact &11-Bffect on NCCP Program The project grading limits are not within the proposed NCCP Reserve. The project is consistent with the NCCP Program as It has been developed to date. However, continued participation in the NCCP process, through the implemen- tation phase, is required to fully mitigate the projeces impacts to coastal sage scrub habitat. A portion of the project is scheduled for development prior to the Implemen- tation of the Subregional plan. Therefore, these areas must be found to be consistent with the NCCP interim process guidelines. Project Impacts Compared to Impacts Described in EfR No. 544A The revisions to the project do not change any of the analysis or conclusions in EIR No. 544& EIR No. 544A provides adequate documentation for the pro- posed project revisions. Since EIR No. 544A was certified, the NCCP was adopted. Prior to the adoption of the NCCP/HCP in July, 1996, the applicant applied for and obtained approval to remove these resources through an approved 4(d) Detailed Interim Habitat Loss Mitigation Plan (IHLMP) Permit. 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 were carried out with previous crushing of coastal sage scrub vegetation on the site. The reveg- etation measures are being implemented in the 1996/97 and 1997/98 planting seasons. The applicant, as a participant in the NCCP/HCP program, has applied for and been granted a 10a Permit, which covers impacts within the project site and other development areas. The Amendment to the Master CDP includes grading for roads, mass graded building pads for future residential construction, and future fuel modification zones. Pursuant to Section 10.1(b) of the NCCP/HCP Implementation Agree- ment, a minor amendment will be processed to permit boundary adjustments that result in no net loss of reserve system acreage and no long-term net loss of subregional habitat value. The minor amendment will be processed concur- rently with this Master CDP Amendment application and approved by the NCCP non-profit corporation prior to issuance of any applicable grading permits. The total acreage of the Los Trancos Canyon dedication area will not change as a result of the NCPC Phase III revisions. As provided for in Chapter 3 of the LCP - Second Amendment, adjustments to the boundary of Los Trancos Canyon will be incorporated into a phased Irrevocable offer of dedication program (Parcel A and B sequence) to the County. The overall Newport Coast Dedica- tion Program will maintain approximately 7,234 acres devoted to open space and recreation use, which includes 2,807 areas in Crystal Cove State Park, 2,666 acres in wilderness open space, 1,161 areas in special use open space dedica- 9/15,97«IACCB638WtMJNB.WPD» 48 11 IA 1_1 lions, and over 600 acres in the golf course and other non -dedicated recreation areas. The 1HLMP includes an off -site restoration plan that has been completed for all Planning Areas/Development Areas. On -site restoration in Upper Los Trancos Canyon adjacent to DA 2C-5 and 2C-10 is no longer needed as a result of an amendment to the central/Coastal NCCP/HCP to reflect the LCP Second Amend- ment (amendment approved December, 1996). The possibility for the NCCP Amendment of December, 1996, was acknowledged in EIR No. 544A, in Appen- dix D-2 (Restoration Plan Specifications). Based on the text in Appendix D-2, the IHLMP measure (8-11) is replaced by the following: the upper Los Trancos Canyon open areas shown in the DA 2C-5 Development Plan in the DA 2C-5 CDP, which are graded but are not part of the fuel modification area, will be planted with a basic landscape program, using native plants. Fuel modification areas shall be landscaped in accordance with the current Orange County Fire Authority Fuel Modification zone plant list for areas adjacent to reserve lands. This measure will be implemented via Standard Condition 13-5. Project Design Features/Standard Conditions/Mitigation Measures - NCPC, Phase lll, Revision Project Design Features Project Design Feature 8-IA - Local Coastal Program Open Space Dedication Program The 1988 LCP established the Open Space Dedication Program that, in combi- nation with Crystal Cove State Park, will provide for nearly 7,000 acres of open space within the NCPC. This open space contains a substantial portion of coastal sage scrub habitat, as determined through the subsequent NCCP pro- gram. With this program, the Coastal Commission and County of Orange found the impacts of the Planned Community to non -sensitive and sensitive biological resources to be mitigated to a level of insignificance, according to the "balancing" provision for protection of resources. Also, any impacts to ESHAs caused by development are considered to be mitigated to a level below signifi- cance through implementation of this program. Project Design Feature 83 - Open Space Linkages The provision of nearly 7,000 acres of contiguous habitat through the Open Space Dedication Program and acquisition of Crystal Cove State Park, along with the HMP developed to facilitate wildlife movement between open space in Buck Gully and Los Trancos Canyon through PA 11B, offsets impacts to wildlife movement resulting from the proposed project and reduces them to a level of insignificance. 9/15i97«1ACCB638\0UTUNE.WPD» 49 11 LSAAnodater, Ine. Project Design Feature 8.8 - Continued Implementation of Drainage Resource Protection Measures There are several aspects of the overall ICPC that are designed to mitigate impacts to ESHA drainages: Project Design Feature 8-8C-Implementation of &SHAPolicies The LCP policies governing CategoryA and B drainages dictate that these drain- ages be preserved in their existing state. All development will be set back a minimum of 50 feet from the edge of the riparian habitat, with certain excep- tions, which are detailed in the LCP. ESHA Category C habitats will be protected from degradation of water quality through monitoring of runoff into these habitats, and the restriction of the use and application of chemicals (on the golf course and other areas) to those approved by State, County and federal agencies. ESHA Category D drainages have the lowest quality habitats. These drainages have no riparian habitat or year round surface water. Impacts to Category D ESHAs are mitigated by the open space dedication program and RHCP, as des- cribed earlier. Project Design Feature 89 According to the site development standards in the LCP, all lights shall be designed and located so that light rays are aimed at the development site. Evidence of project conformance with these standards will be provided in the Coastal Development Permit (CDP) documentation approved by the Planning Commission.

V. FINDINGS A. The proposed project will not significantly jeopardize any fish or wildlife population or habitat, nor will it affect any period of Califor- nia history or prehistory beyond those addressed in FEIR No. 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 Nos. 460, 485, 486, and 544A with Addendum PA 970076- 970081 satisfied the requirements of CEQA for this project. The revision to Planning/Development Area PA 2C (NCPC) of the Phase III project's specific impacts is 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 No. 544A Addendum PA 970076-970081 has been prepared to address minor technical revisions to the previously approved Phase III pro- ject. The Statutory Findings found in EIR No. 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 FEIR Nos. 485 and 544A are hereby incorporated by 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 un- avoidable adverse environment effect would be acceptable and, therefore, approved the project. D. The project, as proposed, will not have any unmitigated 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. 9/15/97«I:\CCB638\OUT7.INE.WPD» 70 O c, /11�.vv M IU PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 9LlFOR� APPLICATION Application #: PA990212 Date Filed: 12/30/1999 Application Type: COASTAL DEVELOPMENT TO PC Application Name: AREA 2C-1B NEWPORT COAST Parcel(s): 15394 OTM 05/22/97 IRVCPLNG 05/29/97 Address(es): Location: PA 2C-1B NEWPORT COAST; TTM15394 Project Area: 21.50 ACRE Public Project: N Initial Study Required: Y IS Charge #: P53921 IS Summary #: 082 Application Charge #: P55582 Summary #: 404' Owner Information Applicant/Agent Information Name: IRVINE COMMUNITY DEVELOP.

Mathews, Director, Planning and Development Services Department SUBJECT: Planning Application PA99-0212 for Site Development Permit APPLICANT: Taylor Woodrow Homes, Inc I. NATURE OF PROJECT: Revisions to a residential project in Development Area (DA) 2C-lb of the Newport Coast Planned Community to reflect a revised product type. The project was originally approved by the Planning Commission under Planning Application PA 97-0077, a Coastal Development Permit to permit the development of 41 single-family homes. Subsequent to approval of PA 97-0077, 4 of the approved 41 units were constructed as part of the Perazul I project in accordance with PA 96-0155. The revised project maintains the same number of lots and proposes the following revisions to the above referenced approved CDP: • Revisions to the approved Site Plan to reflect new architectural products consistent with three product types constructed by the same builder in adjacent Development Area 2C-la. The two- story residential units range in size from 3,800 square feet to 4,400 square feet. The three different floor plans provide options for up to 4 bedrooms and garage parking for up to three - cars; • Deletion of the proposed model/sales complex (project will use the existing model/sale complex in DA 2C-la); and Revisions to the approved Grading Plan to modify internal lot grades supporting increased building pads averaging 9,000-square feet and the addition of 17 side -yard retaining walls varying in height from 1.5 to 5-feet. The Master Coastal Development Permit of the Newport Coast Planned Community/Local Coastal Program permits modifications to a previously approved Coastal Development Permit by Site Development Permit. Consistent with the original Coastal Development Permit, this Site Development Permit is in conjunction with Vesting Tentative Tract Map 15394. (Final Map 15394 was recorded on December 22, 1998.) The Conditions of Approval and the Findings for this proposal are carried forward from Planning Commission Resolution No. 97-07 which was for development of Development Area 2C-lb approved under Planning Application PA 97-0077. PA99-0212 -- DA2C-lb, NCPC Page 2 Planning Area 2C is located east -of Newport Coast Drive and north of Vista Ridge Road. Access to the site is provided by Ocean Heights Drive from Vista Ridge and Ridge Park Roads. H.

The original Master Coastal Development Permit (MCDP) for Newport Coast (MCDP 88-11P) and Vesting Tentative Tract Map 13337 established master utilities and backbone infrastructure, allowing large-scale land subdivision for the overall Newport Coast community. The Master Coastal Development Permit — Fifth Amendment (PA 970076) and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 15393 established the boundary lines between Planning Areas ("PA") 2C and 12A, 2C and 12D, 2C and 6-1, updated the Planned Community Development Map and Planned Community Statistical Table contained within the Newport Coast Master Coastal Development, expanded the Master CDP boundary to include a portion of PA 6; and modified the alignment of Vista Ridge Road. j. Newport Coast Development Agreement. The project proposed by the application conforms with the Newport Coast Development Agreement (DA 87-16) approved by the Board of Supervisors on April 20, 1988 (Resolution No. 96-537) and the Development Agreement First Amendment (DA 96-03), approved on December 3, 1996 (Resolution No. 96-861), and as demonstrated in the following findings. 2. Based on the information and analysis contained in Initial Study/Addendum PA 970076 and EIR 544A, the project will have no new significant adverse to environmental effects beyond those identified, mitigated, or for which overriding considerations were adopted in connection with previous environmental documentation prepared for the Newport Coast LCP — Second Amendment, the Irvine Coast Master Coastal Development Permit, and the Irvine (Newport) Coast Development Agreement. The findings approving the LCP — Second Amendment and contained in Board of Supervisors' Resolution No. 87-1327 and the findings certifying EIRs 485 486, 511 and 528 contained in Resolution Nos. 88-24, 88-45, 89-38, 92-07 are hereby incorporated by reference. 970077M.US 9/97 ATTACHMENT A-1 -- FINDINGS PA 970077 / DA 2C-lb Page 3 3. All development projects within the Newport Coast Planned Community are subject to approval of a Coastal Development Permit in compliance with Chapter 10 of the Newport Coast LCP and the County's "Coastal Development" District Regulations, Orange County Zoning Code Section 7-9-118. 4. This Coastal Development Permit is for the development proposal in The Newport Coast Planned Community Medium Density Residential Planning Area 2C, Development Area 2C-lb. 5. Development within Newport Coast Development Area 2C-lb, related to residential development and providing fuel modification will modify category "D" ESHAs. No other category of ESHA will be affected, and the development within Development Area 2C-lb complies with LCP ESHA policies in that development is permitted to modify or eliminate vegetation and drainage courses in category "D" ESHAs, which have little or no riparian habitat value; and all development impacts will be mitigated by the Open Space Dedication and Riparian Habitat Creation Programs (LCP I-2-A-2a [page I-2.4]). 6. Development within Development Area 2C-lb complies with LCP Visual Quality polices which protect views of major landforms in a comprehensive manner as depicted in LCP Exhibit C. DA 2C-lb is not depicted on Exhibit C as containing visually significant lands. 7. Development within Development Area 2C-lb complies with LCP Appendix Item 6, "Visual Analysis; The Newport Coast Proposed Land Use Element" in that residential development has been pulled back from Newport Coast Drive, Ridge Park Road and Vista Ridge Road, and clustered on the ridgetops. 8. Development within Development Areas 2C-lb is consistent with LCP Special Use Open Space policies in that an offer of dedication for Los Trancos Canyon Planning Area 12A has been made to the County of Orange in a form approved by the Manager, Public Facilities and Resources Department/HBP-Program Management (LCP I- 3-A-2b [page 1-3.5]). 9. Development Area 2C-lb is proposed for development as a single-family residential housing project, with a total of 41 dwelling units on approximately 21.5 acres with an overall density of 1.9 dwelling units per acre. 970077M.MS 9/97 ATTACHMENT A-1 -- FINDINGS PA 970077 / DA 2C-lb Page 4 10. In terms of adopted procedure, this CDP sets forth certain elements of planning approval and is processed as a large-scale plan that implements the Newport Coast LCP Chapter II-10, Discretionary Permits and Procedures; Section II-10-A-2 and -3, Coastal Development Permits and Applications. 11. The portion of the CDP encompassing the proposed residential housing project within Development Area 2C-lb is consistent with the applicable LCP Site Development Standard provisions (LCP II-4-C-6)based on the following: a. Under the LCP, the DA 2C-lb site is designated for Medium Density Residential development, which permits a maximum density of 6.5 dwelling units per gross acre. b. No building site area will be less than 2,500 square feet for detached/attached single-family, or non- residential development. c. Regardless of the slope of the land, the gross land area per dwelling unit is above the 1,000 square feet minimum. d. Building height will be consistent with the maximum 35 feet standard as defined in LCP Chapter II-14 (page II-4.17). e. Two or more car garages will be provided for all units. f. Street lights will be designed and located so that rays are aimed at the site. g. Areas of disturbed soil will be hydro -seeded to control erosion. h. Manufactured slopes along development edges will incorporate contour -grading techniques. i. The principle project collector road will maintain 36 feet of paving with a 48-inch sidewalk on one side of the street. Single -loaded cul-de-sacs maintain 28 feet of pavement with 48-inch sidewalks on one side of the street. Lighting along the streets will be limited to intersections and cul-de-sacs. 970077FN.RES 9/97 ATTACHMENT A-1 -- FINDINGS PA 970077 / DA 2C-1b Page 5 12. The proposed residential housing project is 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 DA 2C-lb has been completed. 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 complete and analyzed, and reports are being prepared. Resource surveillance will be provided during grading operations. 13. The proposed residential housing project's 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. 14. The proposed project complies with the LCP Erosion, Sediment, Grading and Runoff policies in that the project will be developed in accordance with the Refined Master Drainage and Runoff Management Plan (MDRMP) prepared by Rivertech Inc. Storm runoff from Residential Development Area 2C-lb will be captured in a series of catch basins located at the end of each cul-de-sac and routed to detention basins in DA 2C-la via easements at the lowest perimeter. Storm flows will be detained in two detention basins in DA 2C-la. The MDRMP was approved by the County in connection with approval of the Master CDP 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 970077M.RES 9/97 ATTACHMENT A-1 -- FINDINGS PA 970077 / DA 2C-lb Page G 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. Plans for sedimentation and erosion control will respond to requirements for reseeding and planting disturbed soil. (LCP I-3-I-2 [page I-3.29]). b. 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 the site plan, as appropriate. (LCP I-3-I-3, -4, and -5 [page I-3.30]). c. 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 Orange County's Grading Manual. (LCP I-3-J-1 [page I-3.30]). d. 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-3.31]). e. 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 facility 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-3.31]). 970077FN.MS 9/97 ATTACHMENT PA 970077 Page 7 N A-1 -- FINDINGS / DA 2C-lb 9• Except during the construction, Rivertech foresees no long term need for sediment catch basins. (LCP I-3-J- 5 [page I-3.31]). Development Area 2C-lb drains into DA 2C-la as approved under Master CDP 89-26P. h. 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 Lower Wishbone as detention basins to achieve further reduction to the 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-3.31]). i. No retention basins will be required on -site. (LCP I- 3-K-2, -3 and -4 [page I-3.32]). j. Impact type energy dissipators 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-3.321). k. Based on analysis performed by The Keith Companies, all structures draining into the study area 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 design stage, based on geotechnical, hydraulics, and stream mechanics analyses. (LCP I-3-K-6 [page I- 3.32]). 1. Soils and engineering studies have been submitted to the County (LCP I-3-K-6 [page I-3.321). 970071FN.RES 9/97 ATTACHMENT A-1 -- FINDINGS PA 970077 / DA 2C-lb Page 8 m. 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- 3.33]). n. Project plans call for appropriate permanent and temporary stabilization techniques as identified in the soil and geotechnical reports for DA 2C-lb. (LCP I-3-L-3, -5, and -6 [pages I-3.33 and I-3.34]). o. Stockpile locations for topsoil will be identified in the final landscape plans. p. The grading for DA 2C-lb 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 Vista Ridge Road, 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- 3.34]). 15. The proposed project complies with the LCP Circulation policies (LCP I-4-E [pages I-4.19 through I-4.34]. 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 an/or driveways; e. All modifications to existing roadway standards have been carefully considered and justified by safety and circulation conditions. 970077MUS 9/97 ATTACHMENT A-1 -- FINDINGS PA 970077 / DA 2C-lb Page 9 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 P, Residential Entry Road & Residential Streets - Typical Sections. i. All roadway improvements established in LCP Exhibit Q, Newport Coast Arterial Roadway Phasing Summary, will be installed on or before the triggering mechanisms called for in Exhibit Q. 16. 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 is provided in the major public roadways approved under Master CDP 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]) 17. The proposed project complies with the LCP ESHA policies in that development in DA 2C-1b is permitted to modify or eliminate vegetation and drainage courses within category "D" ESHAs. The Newport 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-3.25]) 18. The LCP Development/Open Space Edge policies apply to the Fuel Modification Zone along the northwestern and southeastern limits of PA 2C, including DA 2C-lb, in that: a. The use of trees will help screen the edge of development from off -site views. b. The fuel modification program utilized at the northern and western 'edge, as approved in Master CD 89-26P, will consist of the following zones: Zone A provides a 20-foot setback as defensible space immediately adjacent to private yards and residences. The down 970077M.MS 9/97 ATTACHMENT A-1 -- FINDINGS PA 970077 / DA 2C-lb Page 10 slope in this zone is planted and irrigated. Zone B is 50 feet of permanently irrigated landscaping to be maintained by the homeowners association. Zone B may include medium height, open tree groups near common property lines. Drought -tolerant and fire-resistant plant materials are required. Zone C is a 50-foot-wide thinning zone (with plants thinned to 50 percent of existing density) that will be maintained by the master community association. Natural vegetation is thinned to reduce the fuel load, and all dead and dying vegetation, debris and trimmings shall be removed from the site. Zone D is a 50-foot-wide thinning zone to 30 percent, immediately adjacent to native open space. 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 Authority. Emergency access points to the fuel modification edges have been identified and annual maintenance will be a responsibility of the Homeowners Association. (LCP I-3-M-4 through -10 [pages I-3.36 through I-3.401) 19. Pursuant to Section 711.4 of the California Fish and Game Code, there is no evidence that this project will have any potential for adverse effects on wildlife resources. 20. The proposed project maintains the ability to promote an effective subregional natural Communities Conservation Planning (NCCP) Program and will not have a significant unmitigated impact upon Coastal Sage Scrub habitat. 21. Residential uses approved as part of the LCP were found consistent with the requirement of Coastal Act Section 30250 in that development within the Newport 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. 970077M.069 9/97 ATTACHMENT A-1 -- FINDINGS PA 970077 / DA 2C-lb Page 11 22. 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 Newport 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 Newport 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. 970007FN.AE9 9/97 ATTACHMENT A-2 -- CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 97-07 PLANNING APPLICATION 970077 FOR NEWPORT COAST DEVELOPMENT AREA 2C-lb CDP 1.
