Re: Reallocation and Expansion of Vehicle Parking Space at the Orange County Airport Gentlemen: On behalf of our client, the City of Newport Beach, I wish to file this formal written protest in opposition to the reallocation and expansion of vehicle parking space at the Orange County Airport. The City has recently learned that the County plans to expand public parking at the Orange County Airport by 395 spaces, without an Environ- mental Impact Report. Such an expansion in our opinion would be a violation of the California Environmental Quality Act, and would not be conducive to good planning, in that it would presuppose the result of the comprehensive Environmental Impact Report being prepared for the County by Daniel, Mann, Johnson & Mendenhall, which purports to. cover public parking expansion. The City of Newport Beach first learned of the expansion pro- posal on January 13, 1976, while in attendance at an Airport Commission meeting. The matter had to be continued to the Commission meeting of January 27, 1976, due to the fact that none of the Commissioners had received any backup material and interested parties such as the City of Newport Beach had not previously, been informed of the project. On January 19, 1976, the City received a letter from the General Services Agency addressed to this Honorable Board via the -Airport Commission, dated January 2, 1976, which purported to outline the proposal. To the City's amazement, the January 2 letter purported to, divide this single project, with a single purpose, into four separate projects, in order to avoid the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. This was done even though both County and State Environmental Quality Act Guidelines describe a "project" as "the whole of an action RUYAN & TUCKER ATTORNEYS AT LAW Honorable Board of Supervisors, -2- February 2, 1976 which has a potential for physical impact upon -the environment, directly or ultimately." The January 2 letter•further asserted that the Cali- fornia Environmental Quality Act could be complied with by declaring the project in part categorically exempt and covering the remainder by a negative declaration. .A consultation of the State Environmental Quality Act Guidelines reveals, however, that there can be no categori- cal exemption whenever there is an expanded use of any existing facility or where there can be a cumulative impact of successive projects. See California Administrative Code Title 14, Sections 15100.2(b), 15102, and 15104. The City appeared at the Airport Commission meeting of January 27,.1976, and formally protested proceeding with this project until the California Environmental Quality Act has been complied with. Among other things, the City pointed out that the increase of public vehicle parking would have both a cumulative and secondary impact upon airport usage, both in terms of increasing vehicle miles traveled and emissions, and airport use, with accompanying increase in noise and other related Air- port problems. (Any change from employee parking, where cars are station- ary for eight hour periods, to a metered public parking situation with a high turnover has an obvious substantial and significant effect upon the environment.) The City pointed out to the Commission that such drastic changes prior to completion of the aforementioned Environmental Impact Report for the entire Airport without any environmental impact considera- tion was both ill-advised and illegal. The City. has also learned that a negative declaration was filed for a portion of the project on January 7, 1976, and purportedly posted on that date. The negative declaration did not purport to even consider the cumulative or secondary impact of the project. Even though the initial study recognized that the project was in the sphere of influence of the City of Newport Beach, the City was not contacted for its input. The City has also learned that a contract which could include a portion of the work was awarded on January 20, 1976,,based on the grounds that a categorical exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act was appropriate. Again_, the City was not informed that the matter was to be considered by this Board on that date. The City of Newport Beach can only conclude that such a procedure amounts to an effort to deny the City of Newport Beach the opportunity to challenge the undertaking of this'project without complying with the California Environmental Quality Act. The City of Newport Beach therefore wishes bthis king of complying with the tCalifornia er to eEnvironmental st the aQuality Act sanproject without d equestsa.

Dear Stan: 02660 city Ball 3300 Newport Blvd. (7141673-2N10 640-2197 We appreciate the opportunity to review the preliminary sections of the Orange County Airport Alternative Futures E.I.R. We have received the Project Description and Land Use and Urban Development Sections. As I indicated by phone, I have been unable to thoroughly review the Land Use and Urban Development Sections, because of the lack of the graphics showing the location of the various CNEL impact areas projected for the various alternatives. I understand that these are in the Noise Section which. has not yet been completed. As soon as I receive that section, I will go back over the Land Use and Urban Development Section. I would also like to confirm that while we will continue to review the preliminary sections at a staff level, the City will want to review the entire draft E.I.R. before formally submitting a complete set of comments. Therefore, we request that the City be notified of the completion of the draft, and a schedule of review periods and hearing dates.

This exch-ar ,e of parking areas would result in a net in— crease of. 50 spaces for public parking. The enlarged parking area would be controlled by parking meters and signs would be placed in strategic locations to a7:vrt the public that such short tern parking is available.

In response to Board of Supervisors' Resolution 75-1202 dated August 26, 1975, the General Services Agency is planning to make specific recommendations to the Board of Supervisors for the reallocation of parking space usage at the Orange County Airport. The recommendations call for the reallocation: of space presently being used for parking. No additional space will be involved. Advice is requested as to whether an environmental impact report, negative declaration, or other environmental action will be required in implementing these recommendations: 1. Switch car rental vehicles from the area just north of the terminal building to the metered public parking area just south of the.terminal building, and convert the area vacated -by this change to a larger metered.public parking lot. No additional parking spaces would be gained by this action. 2. Restripe the main parking lot to maximize the utili- zation of the existing area. It is estimated that this will result in a gain of approximately 150 parking spaces. ' Mr. H. G. Osborne Attn: Dennis Sundstrom December 22, 1975 Page 2 3.

City of Newport Beach, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California, 92663 Re: Parking Expansion at Orange County Airport Dear Dennis: Enclosed please find copies of the following documents: 1) Unexecuted Appeal of Negative Declaration. 2) Copy of posted Negative Declaration. 3) Satisfaction of Consultation Requirements. 4) Initial Study. 5) Letter to Director of Environmental Management Agency from R. I. Morris, dated December 22, 1975. 6) Letter to R. I. Morris from Dennis Sundstrom, dated February 19, 1976. As we discussed in our telephone conversation of February 18, 1976, the City staff should review these documents to determine if in the City's opinion an Environmental Impact Report should be required for this project. As you are aware, an appeal from the Negative Declar- ation must be received by the Secretary of the Orange County Planning Commission within seven days from the posting of the Negative Declara- tion. From the letter to Mr. Morris from Mr. Sundstrom, dated Febru- ary 19, 1976, the Negative Declaration was posted on February 18, 1976. However, your information that you related to me on February 17, 1976, indicates that the Negative Declaration may have been posted on that day. RUTAN & TUCKER • ATTORNEYS AT LAW 0 I Dennis D. O'Neil, City Attorney City of Newport Beach -2- February 20, 1976 Therefore, I would suggest that any appeal be filed with the Secretary of the Planning Commission no later than February 24, 1976. As a result of my review of the documents to date, I have the following comments which should be'considered by your staff in analyz- ing the project and any Environmental Impact Report requirement: 1) The scope of the project as outlined in the letter to the Director of Environmental Management Agency of December 22, 1975, is different from the'scope of the project outlined in the letter to the Board of Supervisors dated January 2, 1976, which you previously fur- nished to this office. The January 2 letter appears to indicate that a greater increase of public parking will take place. The Negative Declaration however appears to address itself to the project as out- lined in the December 22, 1975, letter. 2) Both the Negative Declaration and the letter to Mr. Morris of February 19, 1975, from the County Environmental Management Agency state that the project will be covered by the comprehensive Environ- mental Impact Report now being prepared. As in the matter involving the Hughes Airwest lease, it would appear that any coverage of this project in an Environmental Impact Report to be completed in the future would be totally inadequate and the future Environmental Impact Report would be nothing but an after -the -fact justification. Implicit within the letter and the Negative Declaration is a recognition that the mat- ter should be discussed in the context of Airport expansion as presented in that Environmental Impact Report and therefore the project should not be undertaken until it has been objectively treated in such context. 3) The Negative Declaration appears to ignore secondary impacts which could result from an increase in public parking, i.e., increased airport usage and increased demand for commercial aviation. 4) The Initial Study, without any explanation, states that there will be no impact on traffic by increased public parking. Such a state- ment appears to be inconsistent with the obvious and with at least the spirit of the indirect souree rules of the Environmental Protection Agency, which maintain that public parking increases vehicle miles travelled and therefore vehicle emission pollutants. I would suggest that any appeal filed with the County have appended to it as exhibits the Negative Declaration, the Initial Study, RUTAN & TUCKER ATTORNEYS AT LAW Dennis D. O'Neil, City Attorney City of Newport Beach, -3- February 20, 1976 the letter of December 22, 1975, and the letter of February 19, 1976, copies of which are enclosed, as well as a copy of the letter to the Board of Supervisors dated January 2, 1976. In addition, at any public hearing it should be made blear that all these documents and the Notice of Appeal itself are to be part of the record. If I can be of any further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, RUTAN & TUCKER, 0�� David C. Larsen DCL:rg Encs.
