The public hearing was opened in connection with this item and
David DmohawsK representing The Irvine Company. and David
McMahan, Project Manager for Regis Contractors appeared
before the Planning Commission. In response to a question
posed by Chairman Pomeroy, Mr. Dmohowsld indicated that the
applicants concur with the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A"
with the exception of affordable housing and views,
Mr. Dmohowski referred to Condition No. 2, Coastal Residential
Development Permit No, 17, regarding affordable units. He
requested that the condition be modified so as to be consistent
with the Affordable Housing Agreement that was executed with
the City at the time Phase One, Villa Point, was approved. He
said the Agreement requires 10 percent HUD Low and 10
percent County Median. He requested that Condition No. 2 be
modified to state "nine units as HUD Low Income and nine units
as County Median", so as to be consistent with the previous
Agreement. Mr. Dmohowski explained that there are no
Governmental subsidies or financial incentives available from the
City to assist in the affordable housing provision, therefore, any
subsidies that are provided would be at the expense of the
property owner. Mr. Dmohowski stated that the applicants
concur with all of the remaining terms and conditions of the
affordable hawing program as recommended by staff. In
response to a question posed by Chairman Pomeroy, Mr.
Dmohowski explained that to provide 20 percent affordable units,
the applicants would request a revision as to how the units are
to be broken down in the affordability category. He further
explained that 20 percent of the 90 units requested would be 18
units; and of the 18 units the applicants are requesting nine units
low income and nine units County median.
Commissioner Pers6n referred to Condition No. 3, Coastal
Residential Development Permit No. 17, and he asked if the City
was now requiring a thirty year affordability.
Robert Lenard, Advance Planning Manager, explained that
Condition No. 2 is consistent with the Newport Beach Housing

Element, and the requested affordability standards are similar to
other projects approved by the City. He said that the approval
of Phase One, Villa Point, gave the applicants the ability to
provide the units off -site and that the same Oenbility is proposed
for this phase. 1U affect of Villa Point, Phase One, was to
condition some of the units to be at read that were essentially
above market rate, so rather than have a reduction in rents on
the exisdng apartment project, there was no effect. Too City was
designating specific units where the 'affordable' rent standard
exceeded what could be charged, based on the market. On that
basis, staff has recommended (consistent with the Housing
Element), that the Section 8 Standard be used so that the City
will receive benefit from the imposition of the condition. Mr.
Lenard explained that the Planning Commission could proceed
with the staff recommendation so as to be consistent with the
Housing Element; however, he suggested that the application be
continued to a future Planning Commission meeting if it is the
desire of the Planning Commission to modify the affordable
housing condition so as to allow stiff additional time for further
review of the Housing Element, and preparation of additional
findings.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Pomeroy, Mr.
Lenard explained that Phase One of Villa Point was approved
prior to the adoption of the General Plan Housing Element
currently in effect, and that the most recent amendments were
partly In response to the Villa Point Phase I affordable
requirements which had no effect on rents.
Commissioner Di Sano indicated that the entire Villa Point
project was not approved simultaneously because of the service
station that was previously located at the subject site.
In 'response to a question posed by Commissioner Person with
respect to the twenty year term of affordability, Mr. Lenard
explained that the Housing Element requires a minimum term of
twenty years. He indicated that the City Council has been
placing a thirty year moratorium on high density projects that
include a Density Bonus.

most of the corners in Newport Center and the theme treatment
would be severely impacted by Mitigation Measure No. 15 and
Condition No. 24 of the Tentative Map of Tract No. 14055. Mr.

APPLICANT: Regis Contractors, Inc., Newport Beach
OWNER: The Irvine Company, Newport Beach
ENGINEER: Adams/Streeter, Irvine
If approved, the applications described above will allow the construction of 90 apartment
units which will be Phase 11 of the Villa Point project currently under construction. The
proposed site plan shows the units to be provided in 10 separate structures, with
additional parking facilities and a pool/cabana area. The Newport Beach Municipal
Code and the City Council Policy Manual contain review procedures for these
applications, as follows: Environmental Impact Reports in City Council Policy K-3,
Traffic Studies in Chapter 15.40 and City Council Policy S-1, Amendment to an
established Planned Community Development Plan in Chapter 20.51, Tentative Tract
Maps in Chapter 19.12 and Coastal Residential Development Permits in Chapter 20.69.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA
Guidelines and City Council Policy K-3, an Environmental Impact Report has been
prepared for the proposed project. Environmental issues evaluated in the EIR are
Geology and Soils, Water Resources and Water Quality, Landform Alteration and Visual
Impacts, Traffic and Circulation, Noise, Air Quality, Cultural Resources and Cumulative
Land Use Impacts. Based upon the information contained in the EIR, it has been
determined that the proposed project, as mitigated, will not create a significant impact
on the environment. The construction of the Villa Point Phase II Project will, however,
result in cumulatively significant impacts in the areas of Water Quality, Traffic, Noise,
Energy and Public Services and Utilities.
The Land Use Element of the General Plan and the Local Coastal Program, Land Use
Plan designate the site for Multi -Family Raidouial land use, with a density of 228
dwelling units. The first phase of Villa Point contains 138 dwelling units. The General
Plan allocation will, therefore, allow an additional 90 units, which is proposed by this
project. The Muld-Family Rcsfdrntial designation allows for the construction of multiple
dwelling units on a single subdivided lot, and allows either single ownenhip or

condominium development. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan and the
Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan
Ile site proposed for development is currently vacant. A portion of the site on the
corner of East Coast Highway and Jamboree Road was previously occupied by a gasoline
service station. To the north of the project is the Sea Island eondominfum development.
Northeast of the site is the Newport Beach Country Club. To the east of the site is
Villa Point Phase 1, and beyond that is Am1wes Nursery. To the south of the site,
across East Coast Highway, is the single family area of Irvine Terrace. To the west,
across the intersection of Eat Coast Highway and Jamboree Road, is the Promontory
Point Apartment project. To the west and northwest, across Jamboree Road, is vacant
land which is designated in the General Plan for open space and retail lard uses, the
Newport Dunes recreational area and the Newporter Resort hotel development.
As previously discussed, this project is a 90 unit expansion of the Villa Point apartment
project currently under construction on East Coast Highway easterly of Jamboree Road.
The project includes ten structures for residential occupancy, plus other structures for
parking and recreational uses. Six different floor plans are proposed, 34 of which are
one bedroom units and 56 of which are two bedroom units. Parking for two of the floor
plans is provided in attached garages. The balance of the parking for the project is in
open parking or carports. 2.14 parking spaces are provided for each dwelling unit.
Ingress and egress for the development will be via Back Bay Drive, through a signalized
intersection at Jamboree Road. Emergency access is provided to the east through Villa
Point Phase I and the Amlfngs. Nursery property. 'This project will be served by the
existing Phase I leasing office.

A traffic study has been prepared for the proposed project in conformance with the City%
Traffic Phasing Ordinance and Coundl Policy S-1. The proposed project is expected to
be completed in 1990. Analyzes were, therefore, complete! for 1991. The City Traffic
Engineer identified thirteen (13) intersections which could be affected by the project at
full occupancy.
The first step in evaluating intersections is to conduct a 1% traffic volume analysis,
taking into consideration a fisting traffic, regional growth, and committed projea traffic.
For any intersection where, on any approach leg, project traffic is estimated to be greater
than 1% of the projected peak N hour volume in either the morning or afternoon,
Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) is required.
The 1% volume analysis identified one (1) intersection where traffic exceeded the one
percent criteria, in the afternoon peak hour. The following chart summarizes the results
of the Intersection Capacity Utilization analysis for the project.
ICU SUMMARY - 1991

In order to meet the criteria of the CiVs Traffic Phasing Ordinance, a project must be
found to neither cause nor make worse an intersection capacity utilization of 0.90 for the
year of analysis which includes all committed traffic and regional growth. As shown by
the above chart, the intersection affected by the project operates at an acceptable level.
The project meets the criteria of the Traffic Phasing Ordinance.
An amendment to the Villa Point Planned Community District Regulations and
Development Plan is proposed in conjunction with this project. The amendment is
necessary in order to change the land uses allowed in Area 2 from ice wlor
CommercW to Muldpk Family Residential and to establish the density lintitof 90u tie
This amendment is an implementation of the General Plan, and staff has no objections
to the request. A number of.other amendments are also proposed which are minor in
nature, but serve to spe4f3ally describe the actual development standards applied to the
property.

1. The ability to utilize park daiecation credits from the Month of Big Cwiy+on and
North Form is refarncad. In aooepting dedication of the Mouth of Big Carryon
from The Irvine Company, the City and the Company entered into a Dedication
and Park Credit Agreement establishing 5 acres of park dedication credit for the
dedication of t 40 acres. Residential sites in Big Canyon and Newport Center
were specifically identified as eligible to utilize these credits. The Irvine Company
has used 2.67 acres of this credit for the Big Canyon area 10, Big Canyon area
16 and Villa Point Phase I. 2.33 acres of park dedication credit from the Mouth
of Big Canyon remain. Additionally, 2 acres of park credit exist from the
dedication of Bonita Creek Park. This project generates a requirement of 1 acre.
Staff has no objection to the use of park dedication credit to satisfy the
requirements of this project.
2. A statement regarding Internal bicycle and pedestrian trml has been removed There
was a reference in the original P-C Text to residential area being designed to
encourage bicycle and pedestrian travel. It is the opinion of staff that internal
requirements of this nature are not necessary, so long as pedestrian and bicycle
access to the arterial roadways is provided. Provision of this access is discussed
in the section on the tentative tract map.
3. The deptition of buildable acreage has been removed The concept of buildable
acreage was removed from the General Plan in the comprehensive General Plan
update. The deletion of the definition is consistent with the General Plan, and
staff has no objections to the request.
4. Temponvy gasoline monitoring and recovery equOnva is allowed at a permitted
use, and is allowed in a setback area The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality
Control Board has required the former service station site to be monitored for a
period of two years. If gasoline is detected at any time, removal will be required.
The monitoring facility is located inside the project fence, and will not be visible
outside the project. Staff has no objections to location for the monitoring system,
nor to the temporary siting of gasoline recovery facilities in a setback if it is
required.
5. Regulations pertaining to detached garage or carport .structures on non -strut property
lines have been eliminated The project has no internal property lines so this
regulation has no meaning to.the proposed project. Staff has no objection to the
elimination of the. language.
6. The parking requirement has been increased to two (2) parkhy spaces per dwelling
unit. A detailed parking survey of large apartment projects was conducted for the
original adoption of the Villa Point Planned Community. A chart describing the
parking demand is on the following page. Based on these results, the City
adopted a sliding parking requirement of 1.5 spaces per one bedroom unit, 1.75
spaces per two bedroom unit and 2.0 spaces per three bedroom unit. In their
review of the Phase i project. the California Coastal Commission required that
parking be provided at a rate on 2.14 spaces per unit. It is the opinion of stiff
that the proposed parking requirement of two spares per dwelling unit Is adequate

for this project The previous parking study dearly showed that larger apartment
projects require less puking than that required by the City generally ni tMmulti-
Family Residential areas (2.5). Staff has no objections to the proposed standard.
7. Regulations rgprdbW jaue heights have been rr dwd Provisions regarding view site
setbacks have been eliminated. These Tare not necessary since no views are
available through the site. Staff has no objections to this request.
In addition to these changes proposed by the applicant, staff has some specific concerns
and suggestions for revisions to the proposed Planned Community District Regulations
and Development Pl=
Setbacks. The P-C Text calls out a 15 foot setback from Back Bay Drive, a private
street. Another section of the text calls out a five foot setback from private streets. The
site plan shows a 10 foot setback from back of sidewalk on Back Bay Drive. Staff has
reviewed the site plan and has no problem with the 10 foot setback on Back Bay Drive.
We would, therefore, suggest that the defined setback on Back Bay Drive be established
at 10 feet, and that the statement regarding "Streets - Dedicated and Private" be
amended to read as follows:
"...In the case of private or non -dedicated streets;�,�,�y
a minimum setback from said streets of rive (5) feet shall be required for
all structures..."
Sewer Easement Setback. The County Sanitation Districts of Orange County has a sewer
line easement crossing the property near the corner of East Coast Highway and
Jamboree Road. In a letter dated February 27, 1990 (attached), the Districts requested
that no permanent structures be allowed over the sewer line, or within fifteen (15) feet
of either side of the sewer line. Additionally, they request that no mounding or rill be
permitted on the sewer line, nor the planting of any tree or bush larger than six (6) feet
in height at full growth. Staff has no objections to the request of the Sanitation
Districts, although it should be noted that this requirement would significantly impact the
proposed landscaping plan for this corner of the project. The landscape plan in this area
is discussed in greater detail later in this report Should the Planning Commission desire
to add the Districts' request to the P-C Text, an additional General Note should be
added as follows:
"16. No permanent structures - are permitted over the sewer line of the -
County Sanitation Districts of Orange County, nor within fifteen (15)
feet of either side of this line. No mounding or fill is permitted
over this sewer line setback area, and no tree or bush larger than
six (6) feet in height at full growth is allowed in this area"
Landscape Plan. The proposed landscape plan includes the edge treatment of areas
along Jamboree Road and East Coast Highway. The landscape plan for this area has
been revised from the original submittal to slightly relocated the project fence, to remove
the sports court, and to show the landscaping for the corner. A copy of the revised
corner treatment is attached to this report.
39
r •
TO: Pang Commission - 8.
The primary feature of the revised landscape plan is the placement of a dense stand of
palm trees mixed with aleppo pines in a significant portion of the corner setback area.
This area is very large due to the combined requirements to setback from the sewer
line and to provide roadway reservation for the potential grade separation at Jamboree
Road and East Coast Highway. The plan also shows mounding in this area The plan
proposed reduces the potential for public views from Fast Coast Highway across this
corner of the site to the cliff surrounding Upper Newport Bay, and on clear days, to a
panorama which includes the distant mountains.
It is the position of staff that the landscape design for this corner of the project be
revised to address the combined concerns of the County Sanitation Districts and the
potential for enhanced public views. This could be achieved through an elimination of
the mounding at the corner, and a change in the landscaping concept away from the
dense stand of palm trees to a use of more low growing shrubbery and ground cover,
with screening bushes at the fence line. Additionally, some existing berms should be re-
graded to lower the elevation of parts of the area. In this concept, a limited number of
trees could be allowed to provide interest to the landscape without totally obscuring the
views through to the Dover Shores bluff faces. Should the Planning Commission desire
to implement this proposal, the following language should be added to General Note No.
7 in the P-C Text, as follows:
"7. Undacaping
Project Elevation and Visual Prominence. In addition to landscaping, the elevation of
the project as related to adjacent development has been identified as an Issue. The pad
elevation of this project is 85 feet. It is at a similar elevation to the Villa Point Phase I
project. The other adjacent project, Sea Island, was developed under a different design
concept which included the tiering of 'the residential pads up from Jamboree toad. As
a result, the residential units immediately adjacent to the project, across Back Bay Drive,
are at elevations ranging from 54 feet to 68 feet. It is important to note, however, that
the lowest tier of Sea island Is immediately adjacent to Jamboree Road. The
right-of-way reservations associated with this project require significantly greater setbacks
than that required of Sea Island. The second tier of homes in Sea Island range in
elevation from 62 to 104 feet, and the third tier is from 74 to 116 feet. It is the
opinion of staff that the project will be visually prominent, but no more so than the
adjacent developments.

condominium map is proposed, the property owner intends the occupancy of the project
to be as apartments.
An issue which has been identified is the provision of pedestrian access from the project
to the arterial highway system. The project is located in close proximity to the
recreational resources of Upper Newport Bay across Jamboree Road, and Balboa Island
and Lower Newport Bay across Coast Highway. It is the opinion of Planning and Public
Works Department staff that walkway connections should be placed between Back Bay
Drive and East Coast Highway and between the westerly project corner and the
intersection of Fast Coast Highway and Jamboree Road to facilitate this pedestrian
movement. A eorAtion of approval requiring these connections is included in those
suggested for the tentative tract map.
Public Works and Planning Department staff have reviewed the proposed subdivision,
and have no objections to the request.
The proposed development is in the Coastal Zone and contains 10 or more dwelling
units. The project must, therefore, comply with the provisions of Chapter 20.69 of the
Newport Beach Municipal Code, which requires the inclusion of low or moderate income
housing in the Coastal Zone, where feasible. It is currently envisioned that the project
will provide 18 units (20%) off -site for affordable housing in the Baywood apartment
project. The project is, therefore, in compliance with Chapter 20.69. The conditions of
approval have been worded to address the provision of affordable units either on or off
site, subject to the mutual agreement of the City and The Irvine Company. The term
of affordability will be for 20 years, preference will be given to Section 8 voucher
holders, income keels shall be established using the Section 50093 standards (Health and
Safety Code) and rents shall be as defined by Section 8 Fair Market Rents.
Chapter 15.40 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code sets forth specific findings which
must be made in order to approve a Traffic Study. Section 19.12.020(D) provides that
the Commission shall make specific findings in order to approve a tentative tract map.
Requirements for the approval of a Coastal Residential Development Permit are in
Chapter 20.69.
It is the opinion of staff that the project meets all the specified criteria for approval of
this project. While no specific findings are set forth in the Code for the approval of an
amendment to Planned Community District Regulations and Development Plum, it is the
opinion of staff that the proposed changes are consistent with the Genend Plan, and the

FAX 1534-2395
The above referenced item is a draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the City
of Newport Beach. The proposed project would build a 90 unit apartment/condominium
development at 1100 East Coast Highvay' near Jamboree Road. The County of Orange has
reviewed the DEIR resulting in the following comments:
Vater Resources
The section on mitigation of water quality impacts does not elaborate on any elements
of the proposed plans to limit/prevent water quality deterioration. It is
impossible, without further information, to make any assessments as to the
feasibility of any of these programs. The final EIR should contain this informstion.
It should include commitments to incorporate structural (eg. detention basins) and
non-structural (eg. street sweeping, catch basin cleaning, public education of the
residents) Best Management Practices for reducing pollution (eg. eroded soils, heavy
equipment residues, waste oil, fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides) in runoff
during the construction and post -development phases.
The County's Transportation Planning Division will be sending their comments under
separate cover to you within the week.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the DEIR. If you have questions, please
call Kari Rigoni at (714) 834-2109.

The following section responds to all comments related to the Draft Environmental
Impact Report. Several comments do not address the completeness or adequacy of the
EIR, do not raise significant environmental issues, or request additional information. A
substantive response to such comments is not appropriate within the context of the
California Environmental Quality Act. Such comments are responded to with a
"comment acknowledged" reference. This indicates that the comment will be forwarded
to all appropriate decision makers for their review and consideration.
CO-1 Comment
The section on mitigation of water quality impacts does not elaborate on any elements
of the proposed plans to limit/prevent water quality deterioration, It is impossible,
without further information, to make any assessments as to the feasibility of any of these
programs. The final EIR should contain this information. It should include
commitments to Incorporate structural (eg. detention basins) and non-structural (eg. street
sweeping, catch basin cleaning, public education of the residents) Best Management
Practices for reducing pollution (eg. eroded soils, heavy equipment resides, waste oil,
fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides) in runoff during construction and post development
phases.
CO-1 Response
It appears that the maker of the comment did not read the entire Environmental Impact
Report before making the above comment. The EIR addresses erosion of soils in the
section on Geology, rather that in the section on water quality. Within that section is
discussion of many of the concerns addressed by the comment, and Includes a complete
set of mitigation measures for both structural and non-structural erosion control measures.
The mitigation measures are as follows:
1. Development of the site shall be subject to a grading permit to be approved by
the Building and Planning Departments.
2. That grading shall be conducted in accordance with plans prepared by a Civil
Engineer and based on recommendations of a soils engineer and an engineering
geologist subsequent to the completion of a comprehensive soil and geologic
investigation of the site. Permanent reproducible copies of the "Approved as
Built" grading plans on standard size sheets shall be furnished to the Building
Department.
5
3. The grading permit shall include a description of haul routes, access points to the
site, watering, and sweeping program designed to minimize the impact of haul
operations.
4. An erosion, siltation and dust control plan, if required, shall be submitted and be
subject to the approval of the Building Department and a copy shall be forwarded
to the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Santa Ana Region.
Erosion control measures shall be done on any exposed slopes within 30 days
after grading or as required by the City Grading Engineer.
5. Prior to approval of the final grading plan, recommendations of the geotechnical
report shall be incorporated into the final design and engineering of the project.
6. The Irvine Company has provided approximately 1,100 linear feet of an off -site
storm drain, from Jamboree Road down Back Bay Drive to an existing storm
drain inlet structure at the back bay. This storm drain was constructed as
mitigation for Villa Point Phase I and will be adequate for the additional runoff
from Phase 11.
7. A storm drain was provided as part of the project, to channel surface waters from
the project site and a portion of East Coast Highway to the mmter-planned off -
site storm drains. This storm drain was constructed as mitigation for Villa Point
Phase 1.
8. The velocity of concentrated runoff from the project site shall be evaluated and
erosive velocities controlled as a part of project design.
9. Prior to the issuance of the grading permit, the design engineer shall review and
state that the discharge of surface runoff from the project will be performed in
such a manner to assure that Increased peak flows from the project will not
increase erosion immediately downstream of the system. This shall be reviewed
and approved by the Building Department.
10. The development shall provide for vacuum sweeping of parking areas.
11. Landscaped areas shall be irrigated with a system designed to avoid surface run-
off and over -watering.
12. A landscape plan, prepared by a licensed landscape architect, shall be submitted
which includes a maintenance program that controls the use of fertilizers and
pesticides. The plan shall be reviewed by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Department and approved by the Planning and Public Works Departments. Prior
to the issuance of an occupancy permit, a licensed landscape architect shall certify
to the Planning Department that the landscaping has been installed in accordance
with the approved plan.

PROJECI ALTERNATIVES
EiWin
I. The project his been designed in a manner to as to provide the greatest public
involvement in the planning and CFAA process.
I The following provides a brief description of project alternatives.
3. The alternatives were rejected in favor of the current project proposal.
4. The rationale for rejection of each alternative is provided below.
S. The rejection rationale is supponed by the public record including, but not limited
to. the Certified Final EIR.
NO PROJECT ALTERNATIVE
The No Project Alternative provides for no development on the site.
Findinim
Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the No Project
Alternative described in the Final EIR in that:
1. The No Project Alternative does not provide for an increase in the hnusln= stock
of the City of Newport Beach, and will not contnbute to the prrrvision of
affordable housing.
2. The No Project Alternative will leave the site in as undeveloped state, which
would be subject to erosion during storms, and mould therefore continue to
contribute incrementally to siltation in Newport Hay,
LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ALTERNATIVE
17he Low Density Residential Alternative assume& development of a detached, single•
family residentlal development.
Sp"Mc economla, soda}, cc other considerations make InfeauNe this altcrnative
described In the Final EIR in that:
L The alternative would only slightly reduce the inaemcatal contribution to traffic
congestion, ambient noise kvcls, air quality and service/utility usage,
2. The alternative would not result in the tame provisions for affordable housing.
3. The configuration of the site is not conducive to detached residential developrrsent.
4. The site Is Phase H of an apartment project already under oaWnxtioa.
5. The alternative would be more difficult to mltigate from ■ noise impact
startdpotnt.
HIGHER -DENSITY RESIDPNTIAL ALTERNATIVE
A h1&r-donslty resldentlal alterntive could be 20 units per adze, or a total of 196
dwel1ing units.
IN
13
Ella=
I. Development of this density of residential use is not allowed on the site by the
Land Use Element and Goal Coastal Program. Land Use Plan.
2. The larger. more intense subdivision *mid be significantly out of dyracter with
the surrounding uts.
OFFICE/COMMERCIAL ALTERNATIVE
Thb alternative would include an 80,000 sq.ft office building which would include a
restaurant facility.
Badim
I. This alternative would generate slgnificantly more traffic thaw the project.
2. This altrrnativc would cause a Greater incremental contribution to cumulative
Impacts related to trafflc� noise, and air quality.
3. The alter atix would not provide additional realdentlat uses in the uca.
PARK/OPEN SPAM ALTERNATIVE
This alternative would result in the drvelopment of an open apace amenity on the
subject site.
Findings
1. The site is not highly accessible in a resional sense, due to the loatlao oo Bast
Coast 114 ft y Lad its separation from the Upper Newport Bay area by Jamboree
Road.
2. The site immediately across Jamboree Road (Bayview larding) is designated
predorafnaat1y for open space, and will provide the same opera t�aca amenity as
could be uhk-nd by this site, except that its location Is awe directly accessible
for the Newport Bay and Newport Duna areas.
ALITJLNATDZ LOCATIONS
The project could be developed in other locations of Newport Desch. Acxording to the
Housing Memexe, there are only eight major undeveloped site& sultabte for residential
devc1opmeat remaining in the City of Newport Beack with a total unit aWadry of 1.49&
VW& Point Phase U is ooe of these, and 90 units are allowed on the site.
1. The RcgkxW Housing Need Assessment (RHNA) prepared by SCAG (Southern
CaIdDraia Avociatiaa of Qoveruments) projects that Z062 units wW be ro�
In txder to fnMI1 future (2010) bousing needs in the City of Newport
Therefore, ad c4W of these undeveloped sites would require rW&ntial
devel caw* and could not be substituted as an alternate loadoo for"project.
The California Environmental Quality Act req�a a pubUc agency to balance the
benefits of a proposed project against lts unavoidable cwimwnental rides in determining
whether to approve the project The City of Newport bleach has determined that the
unavoidable risks of this project are acceptable and are ckady outweighed by "cif c
social. economic and other benefits of the project, giving greater weight to the
unavoidable environmental risks. In nuking this determinatkx%. the following facture and
public benefits were consWered or decisions made:
The proposed project is consistent with other existing uses in the vicinity of the
project and the community in general.
2. The proposed project represents infill devclopment Incated in an urban area
where adequate facilities and services east.
3. The density and Intercity of the project is appropriate.
4. The proposed project will contribute to a fair share of local and regional roadway
improvements, specifically the City's Fair Share Traffic Contribution Ordinance.
S. The project will provide increased housing opportunities.
6. The project has been designed to be sensitive to the surrounding neighborhood
e providing adequate puking
e providing an architecturally ac thetic project that
upgtaces the area while blending into the existing
neighborhood
• providing landscaping adequate to reduce the visual.
impact of the development

Ccxle and the City Council Policy Manual contain review procedures for these
applications, as follows: Environmental Impact Reports in City Council Policy K-3,
Traffic Studies in Chapter 15.40 and City Council Policy S-1, Amendment to an
established Planned Community Development Plan in Chapter 20.51, Tentative Tract
Maps in Chapter 19.12 and Coastal Residential Development Permits in Chapter 20.69,
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA
Guidelines and City Council Policy K-3, an Environmental Impact Report has been
prepared for the proposed project. Environmental issues evaluated in the EIR are
Geology and Soils, Water Resources and Water Quality, Landform Alteration and Visual
Impacts, Traffic and Circulation, Noise, Air Quality, Cultural Resources and Cumulative
Land Use Impacts. Based upon the information contained ' in the EIR, it has been
determined that the proposed project, as mitigated, will not create a significant impact
on the environment. The construction of the Villa Point Phase 11 Project will, however,
result in cumulatively significant impacts in the areas of Water Quality, Traffic, Noise,
Energy and Public Services and Utilities.
The Land Use Element of the General Plan and the Local Coastal Program, Land Use
Plan designate the site for Multi -Family Residemial land use, with a density of 228
dwelling units. ' The tint phase of Villa Point contains 138 dwelling units. The General
Plan allocation will;, therefore, allow'an additional 90 units, which is proposed by this
project. The Multi -Family Residential designation allows for the construction of multiple
dwelling units on a single subdivided lot, and allows either single ownership or

condominium development. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan and the
Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan
The site proposed for development is currently vacant. A portion of the site on the
corner of lust Coast Highway and Jamboree Road was previously occupied by a gasoline
service station. To the north of the project is the Sea Island condominium development.
Northeast of the site is the Newport Beach Country Club. - To the east of the site is
Villa Point Phase L and .beyond that is Amling's Nursery. To the south of the site,
across East Coast Highway, is the single family area of Irvine Terrace. To the west,
across the' intersection of East Coast Highway and Jamboree Road, is the- Promontory
Point Apartment project. To the west and northwest, across Jamboree Road, is vacant
land which is designated in the General Plan for open space and retail land uses, the
Newport Dunes recreational area and the Newporter Resort hotel development.
As previously discussed, this project is a 90 unit expansion of the Villa Point apartment
project currently under construction on East Coast Highway easterly of Jamboree Road.
The project includes ten structures for residential occupancy, plus other structures for
parking and recreational uses. Six different floor plans are proposed, 34 of which are
one bedroom units and 56 of which are two bedroom units. Parking for two of the floor
plans is provided In attached garages. 'The balance of the parking for the project is in
open parking or carports. 2.14 parking spaces are provided for each dwelling unit.
Ingress and egress for the development will be via Back Bay Drive, through a signalized
Intersection at Jamboree Road. Emergency access is provided to the east through Villa
Point Phase I and the Amling's Nursery property. This project will be served by the
existing Phase I teasing office.
Statistical Summary. The development standards are governed by the Villa Point Planned
Community District ' Regulations and Development Plan. The development 'standards
originally established for Phase I will now be applied to Phase p. A comparison of the
project profile to these development standards is presented below:

tridric study has been prepared for the proposed project in conformance with the City's
Traffic Phasing Ordinance and Council Policy S-1. The, proposed project is ,expected to
be completed in 1990. Analyses were, therefore, completed for 1 1. The City Traffic
Enyjncer identified thirteen (13) intersections which could be affected by the project at
full occupancy.
The first step in evaluating intersections is to conduct a 1% traffic volume analysis,
taking into consideration existing traffic, regional growth, and committed projects' traffic.
For any intersection where, on any approach leg, project traffic'' is estimated to be greater
thun 1%, of the projected peak N hour volume in either the morning or afternoon,
Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) is required.
The 1% volume analysis identified one (1) intersection where traffic exceeded the one
percent criteria, in the afternoon peak hour. The following chart summarizes the results
(if the Intersection Capacity Utilization analysis for the project.
ICU SUMMARY - 1991

In order to meet the criteria of the City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance, a project must be
found to neither cause nor make worse an intersection capacity utilization of 0,90 for' the
year of analysis which includes all committed traffic and regional growth. ' As 'shown' by
the above chart, the intersection affected by the project operates at an acceptable level.
The project meets the criteria of the Traffic Phasing Ordinance.
An amendment to the Villa. Point Planned Community. District Regulations and
Development Plan is proposed in conjunction with this project., The , amendment is
necessary in order to change the land uses allowed in Area 2 from Cffi r/;Wor Serving
Commercial to Multipte Famity Raidmdal and to establish the denslty. liimit.of 90 units.
This amendment is an implementation of the General Plan, and staff has no objections
to the request. A number of other amendments are also proposed which are minor in
nature, but serve to specifically describe the actual development standards applied to the
property.
•
TO: Pla�ing Commission • 1',
1. The ability to utilize park dedication a►edits from the Mouth of Big Canyon and
North Ford is referenced. In accepting dedication of the Mouth of Big Canyon
from The Irvine Company, the City and the Company entered into a Dedication
and Park Credit Agreement establishing 5 acres of park dedication credit for the
dedication of ±40 acres. Residential sites in Big Canyon and Newport Center
were specifically identified as eligible to utilize these credits. The Irvine Company
has used 2.67 acres of this credit for the Big Canyon area 10, Big Canyon area
16 and Villa Point Phase 1. 2.33 acres of park dedication credit from the Mouth
of Big Canyon remain. Additionally, 2 acres of park credit exist from the
dedication of Bonita Creek Park. This project generates a requirement of 1 acre.
Staff has no objection to the use of park dedication credit to satisfy the
requirements of this project.
2. A statement regarding internal bicycle and pedestrian travel has been remover!. There
was a reference in the original P-C Text to residential area being designed to
encourage bicycle and pedestrian travel. It is the opinion of staff that internal
requirements of this nature are not necessary, so long as pedestrian and bicycle
access to the arterial roadways is provided. Provision of this access is discussed
in the section on the tentative tract map.
3. The definition of buildable acreage has been removed The concept of buildable
acreage was removed from the General Plan in the comprehensive General Plan
update. The deletion of the definition is consistent with the General Plm and
staff has no objections to the request.
4. Temporary gasoline monitoring and recovery equipment is allowed as a permftted
use, and is allowed in a setback area. The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality
Control Board has required the former service station site to be monitored for a
period of two years. If gasoline is detected at any time, removal will he required.
The monitoring facility is located inside the project fence, and will not be visible
outside the project. Staff has no objections to location for the monitoring system,
nor to the temporary siting of gasoline recovery facilities in a setback if It is
required.
5. Regulations pertaining to detadied garage or carport structures on non -street property
lines have been eliminated The project has no internal property lines so this
regulation has no meaning to the proposed project. Staff has no objection to the
elimination of the language.
6. The parking requirement has been increased to two (2) parking ,space) per dwelling
unit. A detailed parking survey of large apartment projects was conducted for the
original adoption of the Villa Point Planned Community. A chart describing the
parking demand is on the following page. Based on these results, the City
adopted a sliding parking requirement of 1.5 spaces per one bedroom unit, 1.75
spaces per two bedroom unit and 2.0 Spaces per three bedroom unit. In their
review of the Phase I project, the California Coastal Commission required that
parking be provided at a rate on 2.14 spaces per unit. It is the opinion of staff
that the proposed parking requirement of two spaces per dwelling unit is adequate

for. this project. The previous parking study clearly showed that larger apartment
projects require less parking than that required by the City generally in Multi.
Family Residential areas (2.5). Staff has no objections to the proposed standard.
7. Reg dadans rcgfa►dutg fence heights have been revised Provisions regarding view site
setbacks have been eliminated. These arc not necessary liana no views are
available through the site. Staff has no objections to this request.
In addition to these changes proposed by the applicant, staff has some specific concerns
and suggestions for revisions to the proposed Planned Community District Regulations
and Development Plan.
Setbacks. The P-C Text calls out a 15 foot setback from Back Bay Drive, a private
street. Another section of the text calls out a five foot setback from private streets. The
site plan shows a 10 foot setback from back of sidewalk on Back Bay Drive. Staff has
reviewed the site plan and has no problem with the 10 foot setback on Back Bay Drive.
We would, therefore, suggest that the defined setback on Back Bay Drive be established
at 10 feet, and that the statement regarding "Streets . Dedic;tted and Private' be
amended to read as follows:
"...In the case of private or nun dedicated streets, except : Back =Uay.:D vc,
a minimum setback from said streets of five (5) feet shall be required for
all structures..."
Sewer Easement Setback. The County Sanitation Districts of Orange County has a sewer
line easement crossing the property near the corner of East Coast Highway and
Jamboree Road. In a letter dated February 27, 1990 (attached), the Districts requested
that no permanent structures be allowed over the sewer line, or within fifteen (15) feet
of either side of the sewer line. Additionally, they request that no mounding or fill be
permitted on the sewer line, nor the planting of any tree or bush larger than six (6) feet
in height; at- full growth. Staff has no objections to the request of the Sanitation
Districts, although it should be noted that this requirement would significantly impact the
proposed landscaping plan for this corner of the project. The landscape plan in this area
is discussed in greater detail later in this report. Should the Planning Commission desire
to add the Districts' request to the P-C Text, an additional General Note should be
added as follows:
"16. No permanent structures are permitted over the sewer line of the
County Sanitation Districts of Orange County, nor within fifteen (15)
feet of either side of this, line., No mounding or fill is permitted
over this sewer line setback area, and no tree or bush larger than
six (6) feet in height at full growth is allowed in this area."
Landscape Plan. The proposed landscape plan includes the edge treatment of areas
along Jamboree Road and East Coast Highway. The landscape plan for this- area has
been revised from the original submittal to slightly relocated the project fence, to remove
the sports court, and to show the landscaping for the corner. A copy of the revised
corner treatment is attached to this report.
TO: Planning 'n Commission 8. • .
The primary feature of the revised !plan is the
� � p placement of a dense stand of
palm trees mixed with ale ppd pines in a significant portion of the comer setback area.
This area is very lame due to the combined requiremems to setback from the sewer
line and to provide roadway reservation for the potential grade separation at Jamboree
Road and East Coast Highway. The plan also shows mounding in this area: The plan
proposed reduces the potential for public views from East Coast Highway across tills
corner of the site to the cliff surrounding Upper Newport Bay, and on clear days, to a
panorama which includes the distant mountains.
It is the position of staff that the landscape design for this corner of the project be
revised to address the combined concerns of the County Sanitation DistricU and the
potential for enhanced public views. This could be achieved through an elimination of
the mounding at the corner, and a change in the landscaping concept away from the
dense stand of palm trees to a use of more low growing shrubbery and ground Cover,
with screening bushes at the fence line. Additionally, some existing berms should be re-
graded to lower the elevation of parts of the area. In this concept, a limited number of
trees could be allowed to provide interest to the landscape without totally obscuring the
views through to the Dover Shores bluff faces. Should the Planning Commission desire
to implement this proposal, the following language should be added to Ocneral Note No.
7 in the P-C Text, as follows:
'7. Landscaping
All landscaping shall be installed in accordance with landscape plans,
subject to the review a latlidF arks, h ��qp
and approval of the Planning Department and
Project Elevation and Visual Prominence. In addition to landscaping, the elevation of
the project as related to adjacent development has been identified as an issue. ,The pad
elevation of this project is 85 feet. It is at a similar elevation to the Villa Point Phase I
project. The other adjacent project, Sea Island, was developed under a different design
concept which included the tiering of the residential pads up from Jamboree Road. As
a result, the residential units immediately adjacent to the project, across Back Bay Drive,
are Bt elevations ranging from 54 feet to 68 feet. It is important to note, however, that
the lowest tier of Sea Island : is immediately adjacent to Jamboree Road. The
right-of-way reservations associated with this project require significantly greater setbacks
than that required of Sea Island. The second tier of homes In Sea island range in
elevation from .62 to 104 feet, and the third tier is from 74 to 116' feot.E. f It is ithe
opinion of staff :that the project .will be -visually prominent. but no more ! so than the
adjacent developments. . 11

The project includes a request to subdivide 2 existing parcels of land containing ±9.3
acres into a single lot for a 90 unit residential condominium development. Although a
condominium map is proposed, the property owner intends the occupancy of the project
to be as apartments.
An issue which has been identified is the provision of pedestrian access from the project
to the arterial highway system. The project is located in close proximity to the
recreational resources of Upper Newport Bay across Jamboree Road, and Balboa Island
and Lower Newport Bay across Coast Highway. It is the opinion of Planning and Public
Works Department staff that walkway connections should be placed between Back Bay
Drive and East Coast Highway and between the westerly project corner and the
intersection of East Coast Highway and Jamboree, Road' to facilitate this pedestrian
movement. A condition of approval requiring these connections' Is included in those
suggested for the tentative tract map.
Public Works and Planning Department staff have reviewed the proposed subdivision,
and have no objections to the request.
The proposed development is in the Coastal Zone and contains 10 or more dwelling
units. The project must, therefore, comply with the provisions of Chapter 20.69 of the
Newport Beach Municipal Code, which requires the inclusion of low or moderate income
housing in the Coastal Zone, where feasible. It is currently envisioned that the project
will provide 18 units (20%) off -site for affordable housing in the Baywood apartment
project. The project is, therefore, in compliance with Chapter 20.69. The conditions of
approval have been worded to address the provision of affordable units either on or off
site, subject to the mutual agreement of the City and The Irvine Company. The term
of affordability will be for 20 years, preference will be given to Section 8 voucher
holders, income levels shall be established using the Section 50093 standards (Health and
Safety Code) and rents shall be as defined by Section 8 Fair Market Rents.
Chapter 15AO of the Newport Beach Municipal Code sets forth specific findings which
must be made In order to approve a Traffic Study. Section 19.12.020(D) provides that
the Commission shall make specific findings in order to approve a tentative tract map,
Requirements for the approval of a Coastal Residential Development Permit are in
Chapter 20.69.
It is the opinion of staff that the project meets all the specified criteria for approval of
this project. While no specific findings are set forth in the Code for the approval of. an
amendment to Planned Community District Regulations and Development, )Plans, je is the
opinion of staff that the proposed changes are consistent with the General` Plan, and the

Measures No. 23, 36, and 37, and Tentative Map of Tract No.
14055, Condition No. 26.
The public hearing was opened in connection with this item and
David Dmohowski representing The Irvine Company, and David
McMahan, Project Manager for Regis Contractors, appeared
before the Planning Commission. In response to a question
posed by Chairman Pomeroy, Mr. Dmohowski indicated that the
applicants concur with the findings and conditions In Exhibit W
with the exception of affordable housing and views.
Mr. Dmohowski referred to Condition No. 2, Coastal Residential
Development Permit No. 17, regarding affordable units. He
requested that the condition be modified so as to be consistent
with the Affordable Housing Agreement that was executed with
the City at the time Phase One, Villa Point, was approved. fie
said the Agreement requires 10 percent HUD Low and 10
percent County Median. He requested that Condition No. 2 be
modified to state "nine units as HUD Low Income and nine units
as County Median", so as to be consistent with the previous
Agreement. Mr. Dmohowski explained that there are no
Governmental subsidies or financial incentives available from the
City to assist in the affordable housing provision, therefore, any
subsidies that are provided would be at the expense of the
property owner. Mr. Dmohowski stated that the applicants
concur with all of the remaining terms and conditions of the
affordable housing program as recommended by staff. In
response to a question posed by Chairman Pomeroy, Mr.
Dmohowski explained that to provide 20 percent affordable units,
the applicants would request a revision as to how the units are
to be broken down in the affordability category. He further
explained that 20 percent of the 90 units requested would be 18
units, and of the 18 units the applicants are requesting nine units
low income and nine units County median.
Commissioner Person referred to Condition No. 3, Coastal
Residential Development Permit No. 17, and he asked If the City
was now requiring a thirty year affordability.
Robert Lenard, Advance Planning Manager, explained that
Condition No. 2 is consistent with the Newport Beach Housing

Element, and the requested affordability standards are similar to
other projects approved by the City. He said that the approval
of Phase One, Villa Point, gave the applicants the ability to
provide the units off -site and that the same flexibility Is proposed
for this phase. The affect of Villa Point, Phase One, was to
condition some of the units to be at rents that were essentially
above market rate, so rather than have a reduction In rents on
the existing apartment project, there was no effect. The City was
designating specific units where the "affordable` rent standard
exceeded what could be charged, based on the market. On that
basis, staff has recommended (consistent with the Housing
Element), that the Section 8 Standard be used so that the City
will receive benefit from the imposition of the condition. Mr.
Lenard explained that the Planning Commission could proceed
with the staff recommendation so as to be consistent with the
Housing Element; however, he suggested that the application be
continued to a future Planning Commission meeting if it is the
desire of the Planning Commission to modify the affordable
housing condition so as to allow staff additional time for further
review of the Housing Element, and preparation of additional
findings.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Pomeroy, Mr.
Lenard explained that Phase One of Villa Point was approved
prior to the adoption of the General Plan Housing Element
currently In effect, and that the most recent amendments were
partly in response to the Villa Point Phase i affordable
requirements which had no effect on rents.
Commissioner Di Sano Indicated that the entire Villa Point
project was not approved simultaneously because of the service
station that was previously located at the subject site.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Person with
respect to the twenty year term of affordability, Mr. Lenard
explained that the Housing Element requires a minimum term of
twenty years. He indicated that the City Council has been
placing a thirty year moratorium on high density projects that
include a Density Bonus.

Robin Flory, Assistant City Attorney, addressed the new
Government Cade provisions, of the Incentive Density Bonus that
require the thirty year affordability.
Mr. Dmohowskl addressed Condition No. 15, the landsope plan
for the corner of East Coast Highway and Jamboree Road. He
explained that a view analysis evaluates the project with the
proposed landscaped treatment. Mr. Dmohowski and Mr.
McMahan presented an overlay of the project in conjunction with
the proposed landscape plan, and the visual impact the
landscaping would have from East Coast Highway. Mr.
Dmohowski explained that the intent of the landscaping is, to
screen the profile of the project from the East Coat Highway
and Jamboree Road intersection.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Person
regarding a modification to Condition No. 15, Mr. Dmohowski
requested the provision of an adequate landscape plan be
required prior to the issuance of the Building Permit. Mr.
Dmohowski did not object to Condition No. 15 as submitted by
staff; however, he said this theme landscape treatment exists on
most of the corners in Newport Center and the theme treatment
would be severely impacted by Mitigation Measure No. 15 and
Condition No. 24 of the Tentative Map of Tract No. 14055. Mr.
Dmohowski recommended a revision to Mitigation Measure No.
15 as follows; 'The landscape plan for the corner of East Coast
Highway and Jamboree Road shall be designed in such a manner
as to allow for public views through the area to the Dover
Shores bluff faces', and that Condition No. 24 be deleted. Mr.
Dmohowski did not oppose a further review by the Planning
Commission provided it would not delay the permit process.
Commissioner Person opposed The Irvine Company's revised
Mitigation Measure No. 15 and deleted Condition No. 24
inasmuch as he said there is no density study for the proposed
palm trees as the trees relate to the project, and it would be an
opportunity for the applicant to review with staff the density as
it relates to the entrances to Newport Center as the project
progresses. Commissioner Merrill and Commiuloner Person

In response to a question posed by Commissioner Merrill, Mr.
Webb replied the former service station was not constructed over
the sewer easement. Mr. McMahan demonstrated from the
exhibit that the casement is located substantially behind the wall.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Merrill with
respect to a review of the landscape plan, James Flewlcker,
Planning Director, explained that staff recommended mitigation
measures and conditions that reflect concerns previously
expressed by the City Council regarding the location, height and
landscape treatment of walls and the loss of public views.
Commissioner Edwards supported revised Mitigation Measure No.
15 as suggested by Commissioner Person so as to allow further
review by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Dmohowski requested that "No increase in grade elevation
is allowed, and some reduction in grade elevation may be
required to enhance views across the site', be deleted from
Mitigation Measure No. 15 inasmuch as the mitigation measure
and Tentative Map of Tract No. 14055, Condition No. 24 would
be in conflict with a future decision made by the Planning
Commission wherein it would necessitate a further amendment
to the conditions of approval.
Commissioner Merrill and Mr. McMahan discussed the visual
impact of the proposed grading outside of the wall inasmuch as
it elevates from 81 feet to 87 feet.
Commissioner Glover expressed her concern that the developer
should be aware of the public's interest in the development on
the undeveloped site inasmuch as it could be considered an
Intrusion of the view plane. Mr. Dmohowski responded that the
public view is minimal for the westbound driver on Past Coast
Highway; however, he indicated that the developer Is attempting
to preserve a view plane at the development site.

In response to a question posed by Commissioner Merrill, the
maker of the motion requested that the landscape plan be
reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to the
implementation of any landscaping. Discussion ensued between
the Planning Commission and staff with respect to when the
Planning Commission should consider reviewing the landscape
plan. Commissioner Merrill suggested a modification to
Mitigation Measure No. 15 by deleting the reference to the grade
elevation. Patricia Temple, Principal Planner. suggested that the
mitigation measure be modified to state that one of the issues
that would be addressed would be the grade elevations at the
intersection, and that the Planning Commission review the
landscape prior to the issuance of the Grading Permit.
Ms. Temple addressed staffs request to revise the proposed
Planned Community District Regulations and Development Plan
with respect to private street setback; that no structures are
permitted over the sewer line as requested by the County
Sanitation District of Orange County; and a landscape condition
that would be modified to reflect the mitigation measure. The
maker of the motion agreed to include the foregoing changes in
the motion.
Mr. Dmohowski reappeared before the Planning Commission
wherein he requested a flexibility of proceeding with the grading
plan, recognizing the landscape treatment would be subject to
review. Chairman Pomeroy concurred; however, he explained
that if the grading plan would be required to be further modified
that there would be an additional cost to the developer. Mr.
Webb indicated that the cost incurred would be minimal
inasmuch as the structures and roadways are set back if
additional grading is required. Commissioner Merrill expressed
his concerns with respect to the foregoing request. Commissioner
P"n modified Mitigation Measure No. 15 stating that the
Planning Commission review the landscape plan prior to the
issuance of the Building Permit for the wall.

as follows:
On March 8. the Planning Commission
considered the project and those in
attendance voted to recommend
approval of the project, with
modification to two primary issues.
i.e.. affordable housing conditions
and the landscape program. In this
second phase there are 90 rental
units: the first phase had 138 units,
which is adjacent to this project,
and together there are 228 units
which is permitted in the City's
General Plan. The Traffic Phasing
Ordinance (TPO) analysis was
conducted on this project, and one
intersection was found to be impacted
by 1• or more: therefore an
Intersection Capacity Utilization
(ICU) study was done at the
intersection of Jamboree and Santa
Barbara Drive. and it was found that
the ICU was .70. which is well below
the standard of the TPO. The Park
Dedication Requirements for this
project are being satisfied by the
credits granted the to The Irvine
Company by the Big Canyon dedication
a number of years ago, and there are
still 2.33 acres of credit available
in that Big Canyon acceptance by the
City. The requirement of the 90
units would be one acre dedication.
and they are proposing to apply that
to the 2.33 acres of credit available
at Big Canyon, which will leave them
1.33 for future consideration. The
Planning Commission reco=ended that
is affordable units for 20 years be

provided off -site in the Baywood
Apartment project, which is 20% of

has suggested a modification
regarding affordable housing. since
this was approved by the Planning
Commission on March 8. and Condition
No. 2 to section E. C082tal
Residential Deyelopment Permit No. 17
(Exhibit "A." page 18) has been
modified to be consistent with the
paragraph on page 3 of the staff

or to low income families based on

In response to Council inquiry. the Public
Works Director illustrated on the wall map.
the triangular area at the intersection of
Jamboree Road and Pacific Coast Highway,
and provided the following explanation
concerning landscaping and moving the
proposed sound attenuation wall:
The intent of the previously
recommended condition of approval by
the Planning Commission was to reduce
the elevation of some of the higher
mounded dirt in this area to improve
the sight distance from vest bound
Coast Highway over to the Upper Bay
area. so that more of the bluffs
along Dover Shores would be visible.
The project plans are to provide
landscaping in this triangular area.
as well as a sound wall to attenuate
sounds from the high traffic volumes
on both the Pacific Coast Highway and
Jamboree Road. The Planning
Commission did require the condition
that the landscaping and the grading
on this triangular parcel at the
corner go back to the Planning
Commission for review (Condition No.
15). Relocating the wall and
designing the landscaping must be

done in such a way so as to not
interfere with the view corridor from
vest bound Pacific Coast Highway and
the 30 foot wide sewer easement
located on the aligr=ent of the
Sanitation District trunk sewer.
Also, there was once a service
station on this site, and there has
been contamination of the ground
underneath. Mobil Oil Corporation is
required to place some cleanup
facilities on this site (25' x 25')
but the problem of siting those tanks
and pumps is somewhat difficult. In
conclusion, it was suggested that a
site plan be developed that would
show the grading, the wall, the
landscaping and the clean up
facilities to satisfy the
requirements, and if necessary. some
additional language can be
incorporated in Condition No. 15.
Dave Dmohowski. representing The Irvine
Company. addressed the Council. stating
that they have reviewed the staff report
and the recommended conditions of approval.
and are in agreement. However. he stated
that he wanted to clarify two issues, i.e..
the landscaping at the corner, as well as
the affordable housing modification.
Although they are in agreement with the
changes in the affordable housing
condition. he commented on the rent
schedule that would have to be approved by
the Orange County Housing Authority (OCILA).
He added that in the event the alternative
rent schedule is not approved by the OCHA,
The Irvine Company may have to bring this
issue back to the Council for possible
clarification. With respect to the
landscape treatment. he pointed out that
their landscape architect and site planners
have reviewed the proposed corner treatment
in view of the comments and discussion that
occurred at the Planning Commission
meeting. and they are prepared to move the
whole landscape design back a minimum of
30' from the corner of the intersection.
In addition. he commented that it might not
be possible to change the dimensions or
location of the gasoline monitoring
station. which they understand will be in
place for approximately two to five years.
but this is viewed as a temporary
condition.

In answer to Council inquiry regarding the
proposed landscaping and watering
maintenance. Mr. Dmohowski commented that
the long-term maintenance and limitations
on water supply have been taken into
account. He added that this particular
landscape program does emphasize pines and
other types of larger scale foliage which
is more drought tolerant. and at the
suggestion of Mayor Pro Tea Sansone, stated
that The Irvine Company would be glad to
work out zone type of arrangement with the
Newport Beach Country Club for the use of
reclaimed water.
Mr. Dmohowski stated that they are not
opposed to going back to the Planning
Commission for review of the proposed
landscaping changes, but it would be
important to The Irvine Company to get some
type of 'approval in concept` at this time
for the subject project, so that they can
file an application with the Coastal
Commission. He added that any changes that
eight result from further Planning
Commission or City Council review could be
incorporated into the project at a later
time..
David McMahan. Project Manager for Regis
Contractors. addressed the Council in
response to the clean up of the Mobil Oil
Company. stating that the 25' x 25' area
that is required for the clean up facility
will be housing equipment chat could be as
high as four to six feet.
The Public Works Director presented. for
Council consideration. some additional
language for Condition No. 15. as follows:
'It is the intent of this condition that
the landscaping and grading design and wall
relocation be configured to provide maximum
public views from Coast Highway.'
Barbara Tappan. 1007 Dolphin Terrace,
addressed the Council regarding the EIR and
Traffic Study. stating that her home is
subject to additional noise and traffic
from the proposed project. as she lives in
the second house down from the triangular
tip at the intersection of Pacific Coast
Highway and Jamboree. She stated the
statistics indicate that there is going to
be more noise. more stop and go at the
intersection. and more cars because of the
expansion by CalTrans. and she is
requesting that a wall be continued around
the corner for at least two houses to,
mitigate the noise.

invitation. presented the following Fills Pt
information in response to Ms. Tappan•s
concerns: The reference by Ms. Tappan to
'
page 4-3 of the Traffic Study represents
ICU traffic service levels at
intersections, and this particular project
does not raise the ICU at the intersection
of Coast Highway and Jamboree. The
Improvement project at this intersection is
not complete and most of the traffic lanes
are temporary and substantially closer to
the curbs than they will be in the ultimate
configuration. and in fact. the cars are
much closer to Ms. Tappan's home than they
were before. As indicated in the Traffic
Study. the project itself adds very little
traffic to the intersection. and the
project in itself is not causing the noise
impact. At some point in time, after the
intersection improvement is completed. the
Council might want to look at this
particular side of Irvine Terrace for some
additional study. Based on all the
information and substantiating technical
studies in the £IR. this project is not
causing an adverse noise impact onto the
adjacent neighborhood.
At the concurrence of Council Member Turner
and Mayor Pro Ten Sansone, it was suggested
that this particular location be studied
after the completion of the improvements.
and the results brought back to the
Council. However, the study should be
Independent of the subject project, as
there is no ICU impact related to the Villa
Point Planned Community Project. It was
