The decision to remove the Special City Landmark Blue Gum Eucalyptus Tree has been appealed to the City Council. Should the decision from the PB&R Commission be upheld, staff recommends City Council approval of a coastal development permit (CDP) and zoning exemption pursuant to Section 20.10.040(A) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) to allow the demolition of the existing, and construction of a new, Fire Station No. 1 and Balboa Branch Library. RECOMMENDATIONS: a) Conduct a public hearing; b) Find this project and removal of the tree exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15301 (Class 1 — Existing Facilities), Section 15302 (Class 2 — Replacement of Reconstruction), and 15303 (Class 3 — New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3; 16-1 PB&R Appeal Regarding the Removal of a Special Landmark Eucalyptus Tree; and Demotion and Construction of Fire Station No. 1 and the Balboa Branch Library September 24, 2024 Page 2 c) Adopt Resolution No. 2024-71, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach California, Denying the Applicant's Appeal of the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission's Decision to Approve the Removal of a Special City Landmark Blue Gum Eucalyptus Tree at the Balboa Branch Library and Fire Station No. 1; d) Find this project exempt from the provisions of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) pursuant to Section 20.10.040(A) (Applicability of Zoning Code) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC"); and e) Adopt Resolution No. 2024-72, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Approving Coastal Development Permit and Zoning Exemption to Demolish an Existing City Fire Station and Library and Construct a New 5,400 Two -Story City Fire Station and an Attached 3,700 One -Story Library Location at 100 East Balboa Blvd. (PA2024-0140). INTRODUCTION: Project Setting and Background The City of Newport Beach's Balboa Branch Library and Fire Station No. 1 facility is located on the Balboa Peninsula, at 100 and 110 East Balboa Blvd. The original 566-square-foot branch library was constructed in 1929 at the northeast corner of Balboa Boulevard and Island Avenue. The building was eventually expanded to 4,500 square feet by 1962. Today, the building includes the 4,140-square-foot branch library and an approximately 360 square foot Newport Beach Historical Society Museum. A 3,423-square-foot fire station was added to the library building and has been operating as Fire Station No. 1 since 1962 (Figure 1, below). Figure 1: Existing Fire Station No.1 and Balboa Branch Library (as viewed from East Balboa Boulevard) A 2021 assessment of the facilities' condition found both were rated as being in poor condition due to environmental and age -related deterioration. As part of the City of Newport Beach's Facility Financing Plan (FFP), the Balboa Branch Library and Fire Station No. 1 facility is scheduled to be reconstructed in 2025. To support this effort, in January 2023, the City Council awarded a design contract to COAR Design Group (COAR) to prepare concepts, permitting and construction plans for a replacement facility. 16-2 PB&R Appeal Regarding the Removal of a Special Landmark Eucalyptus Tree; and Demotion and Construction of Fire Station No. 1 and the Balboa Branch Library September 24, 2024 Page 3 COAR worked with City staff and developed several alternative project site designs. On January 16, 2024, the design team presented the proposed design concept layouts and themes to the Board of Library Trustees and the public at a regularly scheduled meeting. The public comments received at the meeting mostly concerned the disposition of the remaining eucalyptus tree. After review and discussion, the Board of Library Trustees voted in support of a building layout located along Balboa Boulevard and the "Beach Cottage Style" exterior theme. The alternative project site designs were presented to the PB&R Commission at a public meeting on March 5, 2024, along with the request to remove two Special City Landmark Trees — a Canary Island Date Palm tree and a Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree. PB&R approved the removal of the trees with certain conditions, including a pre -removal nest survey for the Blue Gum Eucalyptus, and scheduling the removal for September 2025 at the earliest. Project Description On May 14, 2024, staff presented the site design concepts at a publicly noticed City Council meeting. Council considered the prepared alternatives, heard from the public, and chose a facility layout option with the fire station fronting Balboa Boulevard and not including a Public Works garage on the site. Public testimony included extensive discussion regarding the proposed removal of the Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree. After Council approved the preferred project design concept, which aligned with the PB&R Commission recommendation that called for the removal of both the Special City Landmark Blue Gum Eucalyptus and Canary Island Date Palm located on the project site, staff posted both special trees on May 17, 2024, pursuant to City Council Policy G-1 advising of the decision and approval of their removal. The proposed project includes the following: 1. The demolition of the existing Balboa Branch Library and Fire Station No. 1 buildings and clearing the existing site including the removal of two diseased special city trees located within the property as detailed below; and 2. The construction of a new City fire station and library of approximately 10,900 square feet. The proposed structure is approximately 33 feet 6 inches tall with a sloped roof. The facility includes a proposed installation of a 3,675-square-foot green space and 1,500 square foot playground area (Figure 2, below). AN 16-3 PB&R Appeal Regarding the Removal of a Special Landmark Eucalyptus Tree; and Demotion and Construction of Fire Station No. 1 and the Balboa Branch Library September 24, 2024 Page 4 Air Figure 2: Renderings of Proposed Fire Station No.1 and Balboa Branch Library from East Balboa Boulevard (above) and the proposed parking lot (below) DISCUSSION: Tree Removal Appeal City Council Policy G-1 (Retention, Removal, and Maintenance of City Trees) (Council Policy G-1) provides standards for the retention, removal, maintenance, reforestation, tree trimming standards, and supplemental trimming of City trees. The policy sets forth three classifications of trees including standard trees, problem trees, and special trees with special trees further subclassified as landmark trees, dedicated trees, and/or neighborhood. Section I (Special City Trees) of Council Policy G-1 permits the removal of special trees if removal is related to the death, disease, interference with infrastructure, or the creation of a hazardous condition. Additionally, a special tree that is considered a landmark tree requires a tree inspection report and Level 3 testing- advanced techniques to determine whether specific mitigation measures are feasible or whether it is practical to retain the tree. A tree removal request must not adversely affect the overall inventory, diversity and age of the City's urban forest. In December 2022, Dudek Inc. conducted a tree risk assessment and sonic tomographic study for three eucalyptus trees located at the property. The study showed evidence of disease. At that time, a sonic tomographic analysis was conducted and found that due to the level of decay within the tree trunk of one of the trees, removal was necessary. Dudek conducted a second tree risk assessment and sonic tomography study in August 2023. Based on the assessment, two eucalyptus trees were removed due to their increased level of observed decay and risk of failure. The Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree that is the subject of the appeal had detectable decay of 2% in December 2022, which rose to 7% in August 2023. Based on this rate of decay, the tree is on a path to reach a 30% level of decay, where there is a high risk of whole tree failure, within the next five years. Additionally, if the project were to move forward, impacts from demolition of the existing facilities and construction of the new library and fire station would further hasten the rate of decay and degrade the overall condition of the tree through damage to the tree's extensive root system, should construction be undertaken with the tree in place. 16-4 PB&R Appeal Regarding the Removal of a Special Landmark Eucalyptus Tree; and Demotion and Construction of Fire Station No. 1 and the Balboa Branch Library September 24, 2024 Page 5 The PB&R Commission held a public meeting on March 5, 2024, to review the preferred concept design of the library and fire station as well as City staff's recommendation to remove the tree. Members of the public in attendance shared concerns regarding the impact that removal of the tree would have on blue herons as approximately 10 mating pairs were observed at the site. According to the City's biologist, evidence was provided that blue herons are opportunistic and would find another local habitat if the current site was unavailable. City staff observed, and presented to the PB&R Commission, that there are numerous nesting site opportunities in nearby areas around the harbor. As to concerns regarding tree loss, the evidence presented demonstrates that the removal of the tree does not impact the City's inventory of trees as that has continually increased over the past two decades. For example, in 2005, there were 3,889 public trees in Newport Beach and as of this year, there are 4,573 public trees. There are many more privately owned trees that are not accounted for in this figure. After considering the evidence, including the tomographic analysis, the planning of a new public library and fire station on the site, as well as public comments opposing the tree removal request, the PB&R Commission ultimately recommended approval of the preferred concept design and the removal of the remaining Landmark Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree. The decision was conditioned upon the removal of the tree not taking place until September 2025 following nesting season and, as a further precaution, confirmation that no nests are in place. Subsequently, the City Council approved the new Balboa Branch Public Library and Fire Station Conceptual Design at its May 14, 2024, meeting. After Council approved the preferred project design concept, which aligned with the PB&R recommendation that called for the removal of both the Special City Landmark Blue Gum Eucalyptus and the Canary Island Date Palm located on the project site, staff posted both special trees on May 17, 2024, pursuant to City Council Policy G-1, advising of the decision and approval of the trees' removal. On June 14, 2024, the City received an appeal of the PB&R Commission's decision to approve the removal of the Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree (the Landmark Tree) from Christopher L. Pitet of Adkisson Pitet LLP on behalf of the Friends of Library Park. The appeal outlined several objections to the PB&R Commission's approval as the basis for reconsideration of the decision. Those objections and staff responses are outlined below: Objection 1: The decision fails to comply with City Council Policy G-1, which mandates the retention of Special City Trees and the procedures for the removal of such trees. 16-5 PB&R Appeal Regarding the Removal of a Special Landmark Eucalyptus Tree; and Demotion and Construction of Fire Station No. 1 and the Balboa Branch Library September 24, 2024 Page 6 Staff Response 1: The PB&R Commission's decision complied with City Council Policy G-1. Section I (Special City Trees) of Council Policy G-1 permits the removal of special trees if removal is related to the death, disease, interference with infrastructure, or the creation of a hazardous condition. Additionally, a special tree that is considered a landmark tree requires a Tree Inspection Report (TIR) and Level 3 testing: advanced techniques to determine whether specific mitigation measures are feasible or whether it is practical to retain the tree. A tree removal request must not adversely affect the overall inventory, diversity and age of the City's urban forest. 1. City staff prepared and presented a TIR for the tree, dated February 6, 2024, to the PB&R Commission at its March 5, 2024, meeting (pages 41-44 of the agenda packet). 2. A Level 3 Risk Assessment was performed on the tree on December 1, 2022, and again on August 29, 2023, and presented at the February 7, 2023, PB&R Commission meeting (pages 41-68 of the agenda packet) and November 7, 2023, PB&R Commission meeting (pages 24-49 of the agenda packet). 3. According to the report, the remaining Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree had detectable decay of 2% in December 2022, which rose to 7% in August 2023. Based on this rate of decay, this remaining tree is on a path to reach a 30% level of decay level where there is a high risk of whole tree failure within five years. 4. Additionally, impacts from the demolition of the existing facilities and construction of a new library and fire station at the present site would further hasten the rate of decay and degrade the overall condition of the tree through damage to the tree's extensive root system, should construction be undertaken with the tree in place. 5. The tree interferes with the project in that construction will further degrade the tree, even taking into account best management practices. 6. The removal of the tree does not impact the City's inventory of trees. In 2005, there were 3,889 public trees and, in 2024, that count increased to 4,573 trees. The tree inventory does not take into account the many more trees on private property. Objection 2: The decision fails to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staff Response 2: The PB&R Commission's decision complies with CEQA because removal of the tree is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15301 (Class 1 — Existing Facilities), Section 15302 (Class 2 — Replacement of Reconstruction), and 15303 (Class 3 — New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines. 16-6 PB&R Appeal Regarding the Removal of a Special Landmark Eucalyptus Tree; and Demotion and Construction of Fire Station No. 1 and the Balboa Branch Library September 24, 2024 Page 7 The Class 1 exemption applies to additions to existing structures provided that the addition will not result in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet if the project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and the area in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive; Class 2 exempts replacement or reconstruction of existing structures where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced; and Class 3 exempts the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures including but not limited to structures not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area in urbanized areas on sites zoned for such use. In this case, the project, including removal of the tree, consists of the demolition of the existing 4,140-square-foot branch library, 360-square-foot Newport Beach Historical Society Museum and 3,423-square-foot fire station and replacement with construction of a new Fire Station No. 1 and Balboa Branch Library of approximately 10,900 square feet. The project as proposed results in a net public area increase of approximately 3,000 square feet, does not require any change in the zoning designation, and is located in an urbanized area with adequate public services to serve the area. Based on the foregoing, the project, including removal of the tree, is categorically exempt under the Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 exemption. The exceptions to these categorical exemptions under Section 15300.2 are not applicable. The project, including removal of the tree, does not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, does not damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site, and is not identified as a historical resource. As detailed above, the City's arborist consultant determined that the tree to be removed is diseased. Concerns were also raised regarding impacts that removal of the tree would have on blue herons nesting. According to the evidence provided at the hearing, blue herons are opportunistic and would find other local habitat if the current site was unavailable. City staff observed and presented to the PB&R Commission that there are numerous nesting site opportunities around the harbor. Based on the public's concerns regarding nesting by blue herons, the PB&R Commission approved the removal of the diseased tree, subject to delaying removal of the tree until September 2025, following nesting season. And, as a further precaution, the commission conditioned removal of the tree on the City confirming no nests are in place prior to removal. Therefore, the exception to this categorical exception does not apply. Objection 3: The PB&R Commission has not publicly disclosed reports concerning the Landmark Tree (e.g., the October 2023 Dudek Inc. report) detailing the current health and condition of the Landmark Tree. 16- 7 PB&R Appeal Regarding the Removal of a Special Landmark Eucalyptus Tree; and Demotion and Construction of Fire Station No. 1 and the Balboa Branch Library September 24, 2024 Page 8 Staff Response 3: Dudek's reports were made available to the public through PB&R Commission agenda materials. Specifically, Dudek's December 5, 2022, report was presented to the public at the February 7, 2023, PB&R Commission meeting (pages 41-68 of the agenda packet) and the October 11, 2023, report was presented to the public at the November 7, 2023, PB&R Commission meeting (pages 24-49 of the agenda packet). Objection 4: The PB&R Commission has not obtained a current arborist report addressing the present condition of the Landmark Tree (i.e., after October 2023). Staff Response 4: Per Dudek's October 11, 2023, report, the defined timeframe for the risk assessment is 12 months. Thus, per International Society of Arboriculture Tree Risk Assessment Qualification standards, the report is deemed current. Objection 5: The PB&R Commission has not demonstrated that the Landmark Tree is sick, dying or otherwise presents safety concerns as required by City Council Policy G-1. Staff Response 5: The PB&R Commission was presented findings on November 7, 2023, which demonstrated by Level 3 testing that the detectable internal decay increased from 2% to 7% over a 10-month period. This is an untreatable decay and based on rates experienced in the neighboring Blue Gum trees (previously removed), will likely continue to progress to a point of high risk within five years. Also, a significant amount of the proposed project lies within the dripline of the tree and its root system would be negatively impacted by the necessary building demolition and grading using heavy equipment, if the City was to try to build with it in place. This disturbance will likely both increase the rate of the existing decay and the tree's risk level. Objection 6: The PB&R Commission has not considered the decision's impact on the nearly two dozen great blue herons currently nesting in the Landmark Tree. Staff Response 6: The PB&R Commission considered nesting blue herons at its March 5, 2024, meeting, where City staff presented its consultation with a biologist from Dudek. Approximately 10 mating pairs were observed, and the biologist stated to staff that blue herons are opportunistic and would find other local habitat if the current site was unavailable. City staff observed and presented to the PB&R Commission that there are numerous nesting site opportunities around the harbor. .: PB&R Appeal Regarding the Removal of a Special Landmark Eucalyptus Tree; and Demotion and Construction of Fire Station No. 1 and the Balboa Branch Library September 24, 2024 Page 9 Objection 7: The PB&R Commission's decision to remove the Landmark Tree is motivated solely by the City Council's desire to relocate the Balboa Branch Library and Firehouse rather than any legitimate concerns with the Landmark Tree itself as required by City Council Policy G-1. Staff Response 7: See Staff Response 1. Staff recommends the City Council deny the appeal and uphold the decision by the PB&R Commission to approve the removal of a Special City Landmark Blue Gum Eucalyptus Tree at the Balboa Branch Library and Fire Station No. 1 based on staff's responses to the appeal's objections and the following findings: 1. The Landmark Tree has untreatable decay that is progressing based on sonic tomographic evidence and will very likely continue to progress to a point of high risk within five years. 2. Construction of the Balboa Branch Public Library and Fire Station No. 1 will negatively impact the condition of the tree and the rate of decay, should it remain in place. 3. The construction of the new Balboa Branch Public Library and Fire Station No. 1 is a City Council approved project, which is a criterion for removal of Special City Trees in City Council Policy G-1. General Plan, Zoning Code, and Local Coastal Program The property is designated as Public Facilities (PF) by the General Plan Land Use Element, Zoning Code, Coastal Land Use Plan, and Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (Title 21). The PF categories are intended to provide public facilities, including public schools, cultural institutions, government facilities, libraries, community centers, public hospitals, and public utilities. The property has been historically used as a fire station and library and the proposed project does not change the existing land use as public facilities, which is consistent with the PF categories. Where the Zoning Code requires a minor use permit for governmental facilities, staff is requesting that the City Council exempt this City -implemented project from a minor use permit, since the project has been previously reviewed and conceptually approved by the City Council, per Section 20.10.040(A) (Applicability of Zoning Code) of the NBMC. Coastal Development Permit The subject property is located within the Coastal Zone. Therefore, the proposed replacement of the fire station and library requires a coastal development permit. The property is in the PF coastal zoning district where government facilities are identified as an allowed use. As previously discussed, staff requests exemption from a minor use permit as the required development standards will be established through the coastal development permit. 16-9 PB&R Appeal Regarding the Removal of a Special Landmark Eucalyptus Tree; and Demotion and Construction of Fire Station No. 1 and the Balboa Branch Library September 24, 2024 Page 10 The proposed building floor area of approximately 10,900 square feet is appropriate for the approximately 24,000-square-foot property. The project provides a setback of approximately 11 feet from the property line along Island Avenue, approximately one foot from the property line along East Balboa Boulevard, approximately 15 feet from the eastern interior property line, and approximately 82 feet from the property line along East Bay Avenue. The project is consistent with the required findings of the certified Local Coastal Program. The neighborhood is predominantly developed with residential uses to the north, south, and east, which includes two- and three-story, single- and two -unit dwellings. The block directly west of the property includes mixed -use and commercial development. The library's proposed design, bulk and scale of the development is intended to provide a modern, right -sized neighborhood branch library with a children's room and work/study areas, including up-to-date technology. The proposed layout of the fire station will be able to house four staff members and two apparatus bay parking spots. The proposed 1,500- square -foot playground area is to establish a recreational component in the neighborhood that complements the proposed library. Zoning Exemption Section 20.10.040(A) (Applicability of Zoning Code) of the NBMC authorizes the City Council to exempt City implemented projects by adopting a resolution at a noticed public hearing setting forth the specific NBMC provisions that apply in the absence of the exemption. Building Height The highest guardrail is less than 20 feet tall, and the highest ridge is approximately 33 feet and 6 inches tall, where Title 21 requires a maximum height of 26 feet for flat roofs and 31 feet for sloping roofs. The proposed sloping roof is designed as a mansard roof which will act as a mechanical well to support necessary rooftop equipment, and act as a screen of the equipment from the surrounding neighborhood. Alternatively, a lower roof would negatively impact the fire station's second floor ceiling height, create difficulty with mechanical equipment, and reduce the roof screening. Required findings for the increase in height above the base height limit per Section 21.30.060(C)(3)(a) of the NBMC are provided in the attached resolution. Parking and Circulation While the property currently provides eight on -site parking spaces and one street parking space on East Balboa Boulevard, the proposed project will provide 14 on -site parking spaces and increase the street parking supply by three spaces due to street layout improvements. Therefore, a net increase of eight parking spaces will be made available to the public. Public Views and Access The property is not located adjacent to a coastal view road, public access way, or Coastal Viewpoint as identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. 16-10 PB&R Appeal Regarding the Removal of a Special Landmark Eucalyptus Tree; and Demotion and Construction of Fire Station No. 1 and the Balboa Branch Library September 24, 2024 Page 11 The nearest coastal viewpoint is Balboa Pier and is not visible from the site. The site is located adjacent to East Balboa Boulevard, which is accessible to the public and provides some limited opportunities to view the bay through Island Avenue, West Ocean Front, and the beach, which is located south of the property. Additionally, the project does not contain any unique features that could degrade the visual quality of the coastal zone. Furthermore, while the property is located between the nearest public road and the sea, the project is the replacement of an existing fire station and library with a design that does not include any features that would obstruct vertical coastal access and lateral coastal access. As previously discussed, the project includes site improvements that increase the overall public parking supply onsite and on the street. The draft resolution which addresses all required findings for this project is included as Attachment D. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of preparing the plans, specifications and estimates for the project were included within the FY 2023/24 Capital Improvement Budget and have been encumbered into the existing design team contracts. The approval FY 2024/25 Capital Improvement Budget includes $9,500,000 budgeted for construction. With the new facility design concepts now complete, a rough construction cost estimate has been completed based on recent regional construction values and market conditions. The estimated rough cost for the construction for the new facility is estimated at approximately $16,000,000. This estimate does not include the cost of the temporary fire facility during the construction. Once construction bids are received for the award of the construction contract, staff will review and revise the budget while asking the City Council to award the construction contract. All project funding is coming from the Facility Financing Plan fund, which is a combination of general funds and development fees. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council further find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15301 (Class 1 — Existing Facilities), Section 15302 (Class 2 — Replacement of Reconstruction), and 15303 (Class 3 — New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). The Class 1 exemption applies to additions to existing structures provided that the addition will not result in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet if the project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and the areas in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive; Class 2 exempts replacement or reconstruction of existing structures where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced; and Class 3 exempts the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures including but not limited to structures not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area in urbanized areas on sites zoned for such use. 16-11 PB&R Appeal Regarding the Removal of a Special Landmark Eucalyptus Tree; and Demotion and Construction of Fire Station No. 1 and the Balboa Branch Library September 24, 2024 Page 12 In this case, the project, including removal of the tree, consists of the demolition of the existing 4,140 square foot branch library, 360 square foot Newport Beach Historical Society Museum and 3,423-square-foot fire station and replacement with construction of a new Fire Station No. 1 and Balboa Branch Library of approximately 10,900 square feet. The project as proposed results in a net public area increase of approximately 3,000 square feet, does not require any change in the zoning designation, and is located in an urbanized area with adequate public services to serve the area. Based on the foregoing, the project including removal of the tree is categorically exempt under the Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 exemption. The exceptions to these categorical exemptions under Section 15300.2 are not applicable. The Project including removal of the tree does not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, does not damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site, and is not identified as a historical resource. As detailed above, the City's arborist consultant, determined that the tree to be removed is diseased. Concerns were also raised regarding impacts that removal of the tree would have on blue herons nesting. According to the evidence provided at the hearing, blue herons are opportunistic and would find other local habitat if the current site was unavailable. City staff observed and presented to the PB&R Commission that there are numerous nesting site opportunities around the harbor. Based on the public's concerns regarding nesting by blue herons, the PB&R Commission approved the removal of the diseased tree, subject to the delaying removal of the tree until September 2025, following nesting season and, as a further precaution, the conditioned removal of the tree on the City confirming no nests are in place prior to removal. Therefore, the exception to this categorical exception does not apply. NOTICING: The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item). Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all owners and occupants of property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights -of -way and waterways), including the applicant and posted on the subject property at least 10 days before the scheduled meeting, consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code.

The grounds for the appeal include, but are not limited to, the following: the decision fails to comply with City Council Policy G-1, which mandates the retention of Special City Trees and the procedures for the removal of such trees; • the decision fails to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"); • PB&R has not publicly disclosed reports concerning the Landmark Tree (e.g., the October 2023 Dudek Inc. report) detailing the current health and condition of the Landmark Tree; 16-13 Letter to John Salazar RE: Appeal Date: June 14, 2024 Page 2 • PB&R has not obtained a current arborist report addressing the present condition of the Landmark Tree (i.e., after October 2023); • PB&R has not demonstrated that the Landmark Tree is sick, dying or otherwise presents safety concerns (as required under the G-1 Tree Policy); • PB&R has not considered the decision's impact on the nearly two dozen great blue herons currently nesting in the Landmark Tree; and • PB&R's decision to remove the Landmark Tree is motivated solely by the City Council's desire to relocate the firehouse and library rather than any legitimate concerns with the Landmark Tree itself (again, in violation of Policy G-1). We would appreciate you confirming receipt of this appeal by emailing me at the email address above. Further, please let us know the steps and timeline for the City Council's consideration of and action on this important appeal. Thank you. Very truly yours, Christopher L.

A notice of time, place and purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with California Government Code Section 54950 et seq. ("Ralph M. Brown Act"), Chapters 20.62 and 21.62 (Public Hearings) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC") and City Council Policy G-1. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by, the City Council at this hearing. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach resolves as follows: Section 1: The City Council hereby denies the appeal and upholds the decisions by City Staff and the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission authorizing removal of the Tree in accordance with the Project. 16-18 Resolution No. 2024- Page 4 of 10 Section 2: The City Council hereby finds that this decision is consistent with Council Policy G-1's (Retention, Removal, and Maintenance of City Trees) based on the foregoing. Council Policy G-1 provides standards for the retention, removal, maintenance, reforestation, tree trimming standards, and supplemental trimming of City trees. Council Policy G-1 sets forth three classifications of trees including standard trees, problem trees, and special trees with special trees further subclassified as landmark trees, dedicated trees, and/or neighborhood. Section I (Special City Trees) of Council Policy G-1 permits the removal of special trees if removal is related to the death, disease, interference with infrastructure, or the creation of a hazardous condition. Additionally, a special tree that is considered a landmark tree requires a Tree Inspection Report and Level 3 Testing: Advanced Techniques to determine whether specific mitigation measures are feasible or whether it is practical to retain the tree. A tree removal request must not adversely affect the overall inventory, diversity and age of the City's Urban Forest. A Tree Risk Assessment and sonic tomographic study of the Trees was conducted by Dudek in December 2022 which demonstrated poor health of the Trees. Specifically, the inspection found that due to the level of decay within the tree trunk of one of the trees, removal was necessary. A second Tree Risk Assessment and sonic tomography study of the Trees was conducted by Dudek in August 2023. Based on the assessments, two eucalyptus trees were removed due to their increased level of observed decay and risk of failure. The remaining Tree had detectable decay of 2% in December 2022, which rose to 7% in August 2023. Based on this rate of decay, the Tree is on a path to reach a 30% level of decay within five years in which case where there is a high risk of whole tree failure. Additionally, construction of the Project would further hasten the rate of decay and degrade the overall condition of the Tree through damage to the tree's extensive root system, should construction be undertaken with the Tree in place. Removal of the Tree would not impact the City's inventory of trees as it has annually increased over the past two decades. To demonstrate, whereas, in 2005, there were 3,889 public trees, in 2024, that count increased to 4,573 trees. This tree inventory does not account for the many more trees on private property. 16-19 Resolution No. 2024- Page 5 of 10 Section 3: The City Council further finds that its decision is supported by the following responses to the appeal: Obiection 1: The decision fails to comply with City Council Policy G-1, which mandates the retention of Special City Trees and the procedures for the removal of such trees. Response 1: The PB&R Commission's decision complied with City Council Policy G-1. Section I (Special City Trees) of Council Policy G-1 permits the removal of special trees if removal is related to the death, disease, interference with infrastructure, or the creation of a hazardous condition. Additionally, a special tree that is considered a landmark tree requires a Tree Inspection Report ("TIR") and Level 3 Testing: Advanced Techniques to determine whether specific mitigation measures are feasible or whether it is practical to retain the tree. A tree removal request must not adversely affect the overall inventory, diversity and age of the City's Urban Forest. 1. City Staff prepared and presented a TIR dated February 6, 2024, for the Tree to the PB&R Commission at their March 5, 2024, meeting (pages 41-44 of the Agenda Packet). 2. Level 3 Risk Assessment was performed on the Tree on December 1, 2022, and again on August 29, 2023, and presented at the February 7, 2023, PB&R Commission meeting (Pages 41-68 of the Agenda Packet) and November 7, 2023, PB&R Commission meeting (Pages 24-49 of the Agenda Packet). 3. According to the TIR, the Tree had detectable decay of 2% in December 2022, which rose to 7% in August 2023. Based on this rate of decay this remaining tree is on a path to reach a 30% level of decay which results in a high risk of whole tree failure, within five years. 4. Additionally, impacts from construction of the Project would further hasten the rate of decay and degrade the overall condition of the Tree through damage to the Tree's extensive root system, should construction be undertaken with the Tree in place. 5. The Tree interferes with the Project in that construction will further degrade the Tree, even utilizing best management practices. 16-20 Resolution No. 2024- Page 6 of 10 6. The removal of the Tree does not impact the City's inventory of trees. In 2005, there were 3,889 public trees and, in 2024, that count increased to 4,573 trees. The tree inventory does not consider the many more trees on private property. Objection 2: The decision fails to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Response 2: The PB&R Commission's decision complies with CEQA because removal of the Tree is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15301 (Class 1 — Existing Facilities), Section 15302 (Class 2 — Replacement of Reconstruction), and 15303 (Class 3 — New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines. The Class 1 exemption applies to additions to existing structures provided that the additional will not result in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet if the project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and the areas in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive; Class 2 exempts replacement or reconstruction of existing structures where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced; and Class 3 exempts the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures including but not limited to structures not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area in urbanized areas on sites zoned for such use. In this case, the Project, including removal of the Tree, consists of the demolition of the existing 4,140 square foot branch library, 360 square foot Balboa Historical Museum and 3,423-square-foot fire station and replacement with construction of a new Fire Station No. 1 and Balboa Branch Library of approximately 10,900 square feet. The Project as proposed results in a net public area increase of approximately 3,000 square feet, does not require any change in the zoning designation, and is in an urbanized area with adequate public services to serve the area. Based on the foregoing, the Project including removal of the tree is categorically exempt under the Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 exemption. The exceptions to these categorical exemptions under Section 15300.2 are not applicable. The Project including removal of the Tree does not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, does not 16-21 Resolution No. 2024- Page 7 of 10 damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site, and is not identified as a historical resource. As detailed above, the City's arborist consultant, determined that the Tree to be removed is diseased. Concerns were also raised regarding impacts that removal of the Tree would have on blue herons nesting. According to the evidence provided at the hearing, blue herons are opportunistic and would find another local habitat if the current site was unavailable. City staff observed and presented to the PB&R Commission that there are numerous nesting site opportunities around the harbor. Based on the public's concerns regarding nesting by blue herons, the PB&R Commission approved the removal of the diseased tree, subject to the delaying removal of the tree until September 2025, following nesting season and, as a further precaution, the conditioned removal of the tree on the City confirming no active nests are in place prior to removal. Therefore, the exception to this categorical exception does not apply. Objection 3: The PB&R Commission has not publicly disclosed reports concerning the Landmark Tree (e.g., the October 2023 Dudek Inc. (Dudek) report) detailing the current health and condition of the Landmark Tree. Response 3: Dudek's reports were made available to the public through PB&R Commission agenda materials. Specifically, Dudek's December 5, 2022, report was presented to the public at the February 7, 2023, PB&R Commission meeting (Pages 41-68 of the Agenda Packet) and the October 11, 2023, report was presented to the public at the November 7, 2023, PB&R Commission meeting (Pages 24-49 of the Agenda Packet). Obiection 4: The PB&R Commission has not obtained a current arborist report addressing the present condition of the Landmark Tree (i.e., after October 2023). Response 4: Per Dudek's October 11, 2023, report, the defined timeframe for the risk assessment is 12 months, so per International Society of Arboriculture Tree Risk Assessment Qualification standards, the report is deemed current. 16-22 Resolution No. 2024- Page 8 of 10 Objection 5: The PB&R Commission has not demonstrated that the Landmark Tree is sick, dying or otherwise presents safety concerns as required by City Council Policy G-1. Response 5: The PB&R Commission was presented findings on November 7, 2023, which demonstrated by Level 3 testing that the detectable internal decay increased from 2% to 7% over a 10-month period. This is an untreatable decay and based on rates experienced in the neighboring Blue Gum trees (previously removed), will likely continue to progress to a point of high risk within five years. Also, a significant amount of the proposed Project lies within the dripline of the tree and its root system would be negatively impacted by the necessary building demolition and grading using heavy equipment, if the City were to try to build with it in place. This disturbance will likely both increase the rate of the existing decay and the tree's risk level. Objection 6: The PB&R Commission has not considered the decision's impact on the nearly two dozen great blue herons currently nesting in the Landmark Tree. Response 6: The PB&R Commission considered nesting blue herons at its March 5, 2024, meeting, where City staff presented its consultation with a biologist from Dudek. Approximately ten mating pairs were observed, and the biologist stated to staff that blue herons are opportunistic and would find another local habitat if the current site was unavailable. City staff observed and presented to the PB&R Commission that there are numerous nesting site opportunities around the harbor. Objection 7: The PB&R Commission's decision to remove the Landmark Tree is motivated solely by the City Council's desire to relocate the Balboa Branch Library and Firehouse rather than any legitimate concerns with the Landmark Tree itself as required by City Council Policy G-1. Response 7: See, Response 1. 16-23 Resolution No. 2024- Page 9 of 10 Section 4: The recitals provided in this resolution are true and correct and are incorporated into the operative part of this resolution. Section 5: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this resolution is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this resolution. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this resolution, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or unconstitutional. Section 6: The City Council finds the adoption of this resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15301 (Class 1 — Existing Facilities), Section 15302 (Class 2 — Replacement of Reconstruction), and 15303 (Class 3 — New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). The Class 1 exemption applies to additions to existing structures provided that the additional will not result in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet if the project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and the areas in which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive; Class 2 exempts replacement or reconstruction of existing structures where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced; and Class 3 exempts the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures including but not limited to structures not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area in urbanized areas on sites zoned for such use. In this case, the project, including removal of the tree, consists of the demolition of the existing 4,140 square foot branch library, 360 square foot Balboa Historical Museum and 3,423-square-foot fire station and replacement with construction of a new Fire Station No. 1 and Balboa Branch Library of approximately 10,900 square feet. The project as proposed results in a net public area increase of approximately 3,000 square feet, does not require any change in the zoning designation, and is located in an urbanized area with adequate public services to serve the area. Based on the foregoing, the project including removal of the tree is categorically exempt under the Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 exemption. The exceptions to these categorical exemptions under Section 15300.2 are not applicable. The Project including removal of the tree does not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, does not damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site, and is not identified as a historical resource. As detailed above, the City's arborist consultant, determined that the tree to be 16-24 Resolution No. 2024- Page 10 of 10 removed is diseased. Concerns were also raised regarding impacts that removal of the tree would have on blue herons nesting. According to the evidence provided at the hearing, blue herons are opportunistic and would find another local habitat if the current site was unavailable. City staff observed and presented to the PB&R Commission that there are numerous nesting site opportunities around the harbor. Based on the public's concerns regarding nesting by blue herons, the PB&R Commission approved the removal of the diseased tree, subject to the delaying removal of the tree until September 2025, following nesting season and, as a further precaution, the conditioned removal of the tree on the City confirming no active nests are in place prior to removal. Therefore, the exception to this categorical exception does not apply. Section 7: This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council, and the City Clerk shall certify the vote adopting the resolution.

Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the City Council at this public hearing for the Project and appeal of the decision to remove a tree. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach resolves as follows: Section 1: The City Council does hereby approve Coastal Development Permit No. PA2024-0140 and in accordance with Section 20.10.040(A) (Applicability of Zoning Code) of the NBMC does hereby exempt the Project as depicted in the preliminary plans, subject to the conditions set forth in "Exhibit A," which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Section 2: The City Council finds the adoption of this resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15301 (Class 1 — Existing Facilities), Section 15302 (Class 2 — Replacement of Reconstruction), and 15303 (Class 3 — New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).

The Project as proposed results in a net public area increase of approximately 3,000 square feet, does not require any change in the zoning designation, and is located in an urbanized area with adequate public services to serve the area. Based on the foregoing, the Project including removal of the tree is categorically exempt under the Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 exemption. The exceptions to these categorical exemptions under Section 15300.2 are not applicable. The Project including removal of the tree does not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, does not damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site, and is not identified as a historical resource. As detailed above, the City's arborist consultant, determined that the tree to be removed is diseased. Concerns were also raised regarding impacts that removal of the tree would have on blue herons nesting. According to the evidence provided at the hearing, blue herons are opportunistic and would find another local habitat if the current site was unavailable. City staff observed and presented to the PB&R Commission that there are numerous nesting site opportunities around the harbor. Based on the public's concerns regarding nesting by blue herons, the PB&R Commission approved the removal of the diseased tree, subject to the delaying removal of the tree until September 2025, following nesting season and, as a further precaution, the conditioned removal of the tree on the City confirming no active nests are in place prior to removal. Therefore, the exception to this categorical exception does not apply. Section 3: In accordance with Subsection 21.52.015(F) (Coastal Development Permits - Findings and Decision) of the NBMC, the following findings and facts in support of such findings as set forth: Finding of Consistency with Section 21.52.015(F)(1): Conforms to all applicable sections of the certified Local Coastal Program. 16-29 Resolution No. 2024- Page 5 of 11 Facts in Support of Finding with 21.52.015(F)(1): 1. The Property is in the PF Zoning District, which requires projects to obtain a required permit (e.g., conditional use permit or minor use permit) to establish development standards. The Project's development standards would have been established during the review of a minor use permit. However, the Applicant is requesting exemption from obtaining a minor use permit as the required development standards will be established through the Project's coastal development permit. The Project is consistent with the required findings of the certified Local Coastal Program. a. The existing Fire Station No. 1 was approved by the Planning Commission on July 7, 1960, under Use Permit No. 654. At the time of approval, no conditions of approval were given in relation to a maximum floor area limit. Subsequently, the existing Fire Station No. 1 was constructed in 1962, and its current floor area is 3,432 square -feet. The existing Balboa Branch Library was constructed in 1929 and has a current floor area of approximately 4,500 square feet (which includes the 360-square-foot City Museum). The Project includes the demolition of the existing Fire Station No. 1 and Balboa Branch Library and construction of a new Fire Station No. 1 and Balboa Branch Library. Since the Project is located in the PF coastal zoning district, there are no specific development standards required. The Project will have total building area approximating to 10,900 square feet, which is appropriate for the approximately 24,000-square-foot Property. b. The Project provides a setback of approximately 11 feet from the property line along Island Avenue, approximately one -foot from the property line along East Balboa Boulevard, approximately 15 feet from the eastern interior property line, and approximately 82 feet from the property line along East Bay Avenue. c. The highest guardrail is less than 20 feet from the established grade (9.00 feet NAVD88) and the highest ridge will be approximately 33 feet and 6 inches from the established grade. The PF zoning district does not include specific development standards for height, but instead establishes standards through the minor use permit, the Property is located in Nonresidential, Shoreline Height Limit Area, which limits the height of a structure to 26 feet for a flat roof and 31 feet for a sloping roof. The Project includes an approximately 33- foot 6-inch sloping roof, which is appropriate and necessary for the fire station 16-30 Resolution No. 2024- Page 6 of 11 to support roof -mounted mechanical equipment. Additional findings required for exceeding the height limit per Section 21.30.060(C)(3)(a) (Increase in Height Limit) of the NBMC are addressed below in this resolution. 2. The neighborhood is predominantly developed with residential uses to the north, south, and east, which includes two- and three-story, one- and two -unit dwellings. The block directly west of the Property includes mixed -use and commercial development. The existing Fire Station No. 1 and Balboa Branch Library have existed since 1962 and 1929, respectively, and provide essential services to the surrounding community. In 2021, an assessment evaluating the facilities' condition was conducted, and both facilities were rated as poor condition, due to environmental and age -related deterioration. The Balboa Branch Library's proposed design, bulk, and scale of the development is intended to provide a modern, right -sized neighborhood branch library with a children's room, and work/study areas, including up-to-date technology. The proposed Fire Station No. 1 layout will be able to house four staff members and two apparatus bay parking spots. The proposed 1,500 square foot playground area is to establish a recreational component in the neighborhood that complements the proposed Balboa Branch Library. Additionally, the Project provides improved vehicular access along Island Avenue and East Bay Avenue, and additional street parking along East Balboa Boulevard, Island Avenue, and East Bay Avenue. 3. The Property currently provides 13 on -site parking spaces. Additionally, there is one street parking space available on East Balboa Boulevard. The Project will provide 14 on -site parking spaces and increase the street parking supply to 8 spaces due to street layout improvements associated with the Project. 4. The Property is located on an inland property in a developed area approximately 850 feet from the bay. The Property is separated from the bay (the nearest body of water) by East Balboa Blvd and a row of residences. The finished floor elevation of the first floor of the proposed structure is 9 feet based on the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), which complies with the minimum 9.0-foot (NAVD88) elevation standard for new structures. The identified distances from the coastal hazard areas coupled with the 9.00-foot NAVD88 finish floor elevation will help to ensure the project is reasonably safe for the economic life of the structure. 5. The Property is in an area known for the potential of seismic activity and liquefaction. A Geologic Stability Report will be provided during plan check. All projects are required to comply with the California Building Code ("CBC") and Building Division 16-31 Resolution No. 2024- Page 7 of 11 standards and policies. Geotechnical investigations specifically addressing liquefaction are required to be reviewed and approved before the issuance of building permits. Permit issuance is also contingent on the inclusion of design mitigation identified in the investigations. Construction plans are reviewed for compliance with approved investigations and CBC before building permit issuance. 6. The Property is located approximately 850 feet southerly from coastal waters. A Preliminary Construction Pollution Prevention Plan ("CPPP") will be provided prior to building permit issuance to implement temporary Best Management Practices ("BMPs") during construction to minimize erosion and sedimentation and to minimize pollution of runoff and coastal waters derived from construction chemicals and materials. 7. Proposed landscaping will comply with Section 21.30.075 (Landscaping) of the NBMC. A condition of approval is included that requires drought -tolerant species. Before the issuance of building permits, the final landscape plans will be reviewed to verify invasive species are not planted. The Project proposes to have 3,675 square -footage of green space and a 1,500 square -foot playground area. In addition, a total of 16 trees will be on the Property at the time of completion. 8. The Property is not located adjacent to a coastal view road, public access way, or Coastal Viewpoint as identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest coastal viewpoint is Balboa Pier and is not visible from the Property. The Property is located adjacent to East Balboa Blvd which is accessible to the public and provides some limited opportunities to view the bay through Island Avenue, West Ocean Front, and the beach, which is located southerly from the Property. Additionally, the Project does not contain any unique features that could degrade the visual quality of the coastal zone. 9. The Project's design provides improved vehicular access which would require the removal of two special landmark trees. However, prior to the removal of any special tree, a Tree Risk Assessment must be prepared and identify special mitigation implementation measures to retain the tree(s). City Council Policy G-1 permits the removal of City Trees set forth in Section IV.A (Removal of Special City Trees) if its removal is related to death, disease, interference with infrastructure, or the creation of hazardous situation. 16-32 Resolution No. 2024- Page 8 of 11 10. A Tree Risk Assessment and tomographic study was conducted by Dudek Consultants in December of 2022, for three eucalyptus trees located at the Property. The inspection evaluated each tree and its risk to the public and surrounding infrastructure. Subsequently, a second Tree Risk Assessment and sonic tomography study was conducted in August of 2023 by Dudek at the Property. Based on the assessments, two eucalyptus trees were removed due to their increased level of observed decay and risk of failure. 11. During the March 5, 2024, PB&R meeting, Public Works staff recommended removal of a Canary Island Date Palm and a Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree due to unavoidable construction impacts and disease of the trees. It is estimated that it may take up to five years for the decay to reach the one-third safety threshold, in which the removal of trees is recommended due to public safety reasons. PB&R supported the recommended removal of both trees but requested that the tree removal would not occur until September 2025, and for Public Works staff to report back to PB&R regarding the health of the trees. 12. Condition of Approval Nos. 3 and 4 requires the Applicant to conduct pre -construction nesting surveys. The survey will allow the Applicant to identify areas with active nests and to create buffers to protect the nests from disturbance during construction. Finding of Consistency with Section 21.52.015(F)(2): Conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act if the project is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline of any body of water located within the coastal zone. Facts in Support of Finding with 21.52.015(F)(2): 1. The Property is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline. Section 21.30A.040 (Determination of Public Access/Recreation Impacts) of the NBMC requires that the provision of public access bear a reasonable relationship between the requirement and the project's impact and be proportional to the impact. In this case, the Project replaces an existing Fire Station No. 1 and Balboa Branch Library with a new Fire Station No. 1 and Balboa Branch Library, which was conceptually approved by City Council on May 14, 2024. Prior to its conceptual approval, meetings were held to discuss the layout and design of the new building. As a result, these meetings enabled the design to be well thought out by providing a neighborhood recreation component essential to the community, 16-33 Resolution No. 2024- Page 9 of 11 improved access to the Property, and a modern fire station that would accommodate four staff members. Additionally, the new library will provide several amenities such as a children's room and work/study areas. The Project does not involve a change in land use, density, or intensity that will result in increased demand for public coastal access and recreation opportunities. Furthermore, the Project is designed and sited (appropriate height, setbacks, etc.) so as not to block or impede existing public coastal access opportunities. 2. Vertical access to the bay and beach is available adjacent to the Property along Island Avenue. Lateral access is available on the beach to the south along Island Avenue and West Ocean Front. Lateral access to the bay and beach is available by a public sidewalk along West Ocean Front. The Project does not include any features that would obstruct access along these routes. 3. The existing development is provided vehicular access from the side of the lot on East Bay Avenue. The proposed development would maintain the same vehicular access from East Bay Avenue and provide additional vehicular access from Island Avenue. Section 4: In accordance with Subsection 21.30.060(C) (Height Limits and Exceptions) of the NBMC, the following findings and facts in support of such findings as set forth: Finding of Consistency with Section 21.30.060(C)(3)(a): The Project is sited and designed to protect public views to and along the ocean and scenic coastal areas. Facts In Support of Findings with Section 21.30.060(C)(3)(a): 1. Fact 8 in Support of Finding of Consistency with 21.52.015(F)(1) is hereby incorporated by reference. 2. The Property is southerly located approximately 850 feet from coastal waters and is surrounded by existing residential and mixed -use properties. Therefore, the Project will not impact public views to and along the ocean and scenic coastal areas. 16-34 Resolution No. 2024- Page 10 of 11 Finding of Consistency with Section 21.30.060(C)(3)(b): The Project is sited and designed to minimize visual impacts and be visually compatible with the character of surrounding areas. Facts In Support of Findings with Section 21.30.060(C)(3)(b): 1. The Project's sloping roof's design allows the mechanical equipment to be screened from public view by the means of a mechanical well. As a result, this method will protect views from neighboring residential properties. If the sloped roof was to be lowered, then it would result in potentially lowering the floor to ceiling height of the fire station's second floor and may negatively impact the roof - mounted equipment by not providing an adequate method of screening. 2. Fact 1 in Support of Finding of Consistency with 21.52.015(F)(2) is hereby incorporated by reference. 3. Fact 2 in Support of Finding with 21.52.015(F)(1) is hereby incorporated by reference. Finding of Consistency with Section 21.30.060(C)(3)(c): Where feasible, the Project will restore and enhance visual quality in visually degraded areas. Facts In Support of Findings with Section 21.30.060(C)(3)(c): 1. Fact 8 in Support of Finding of Consistency with 21.52.015(F)(1) is hereby incorporated by reference. 2. The Project's design will enhance the area by replacing two governmental facilities that needed major repair due to environmental and age -related deterioration. The new and modified design of both facilities will continue to provide essential services to the surrounding community. Section 5: The recitals provided in this resolution are true and correct and are incorporated into the operative part of this resolution. 16-35 Resolution No. 2024- Page 11 of 11 Section 6: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this resolution is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this resolution. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this resolution, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or unconstitutional. Section 7: This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council, and the City Clerk shall certify the vote adopting the resolution.

These trees were last inspected by Dudek in December of 2021 due to the City's concerns over deferred maintenance. As such, to evaluate the risk associated with the three eucalyptus trees, the City requested that Dudek's International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist and ISA-qualified tree risk assessor evaluate the trees and provide recommendations for short- and long-term tree management. To that end, Dudek arborist, Katrina Burritt, evaluated the three subject eucalyptus trees and their surrounding environment on December 1st, 2022. During the inspection, the arborist evaluated each tree and the risk each presents to the public and surrounding infrastructure. The inspection done on December 1st, 2022, is a re-evaluation of site conditions recorded in 2021.Tree evaluations included an inspection of the trees' crowns for trimming recommendations, of the trunks and scaffold branches' for overall structural soundness, and of trunk bases for presence of observable cavities or signs of rot. The evaluations focused on identifying trunk and/or branch defects that may pose a risk to the community. Growing environment evaluations included a standard site protocol to determine if there are factors that may be causing or may lead to future tree decline and/or increased risk to the surrounding community. The evaluations focused on collecting information that could be used to determine the trees' risk ratings to help formulate recommendations for short- and long-term tree management. This letter report summarizes the results of Dudek's assessment and provides recommendations for tree management. 1 Overview Dudek's assessment and evaluation consisted of the following: 1. Perform a Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment of three eucalyptus trees located at the Balboa Branch Library. 2. Perform a Level 3 Advanced Assessment of three eucalyptus trees located at the Balboa Branch Library. 3. Develop a letter report and associated tree information matrix that identifies the potentially hazardous trees, their locations, obvious defects, and potential targets and provides recommended mitigation for the observed defects. ' Terms shown in bold are defined in Attachment 1, Glossary of Terms. 13027 December 2022 DUDEK 1 16-84 Mr. Kevin Pekar Subject: Eucalyptus Tree Risk Evaluations - Balboa Branch Library, City of Newport Beach, California, 92660 2 Evaluation Methods On December 1st, 2022, Dudek ISA certified arborist and ISA-qualified tree risk assessor, Katrina Burritt, evaluated the three blue gum eucalyptus trees located atthe Balboa Branch Library. The library is located nearthe intersection of Island Avenue and East Bay Avenue in Newport Beach, California. The evaluations consisted of a Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment and a Level 3 Advanced Assessment with the use of a PiCUS 3 Sonic Tomograph. The evaluations focused on the trunk, crown, and roots. No root excavations were performed during the assessment. Tree health and structure were evaluated based on the ISA tree risk assessment guidelines. The following subsections detail the methods used during the evaluation. 2.1 Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment The Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment is a 3600 visual assessment that evaluates the tree's crown, trunk, and trunk flare, visible aboveground roots, and site conditions. The assessment involves inspection of the tree's crown, branches, trunk, and root collar for the presence of structural defects such as included bark, cavities, fungal fruiting bodies, and/or decay. The Level 2 assessment also evaluates the likelihood that an observed defect could fail, the likelihood of the defect impacting a specific target should failure occur, and the subsequent damage that may occur should failure and impact occur. Through this evaluation, the level of risk for a tree and/or a specific tree part is determined using ISA's Tree Risk Matrix and based on a defined time frame. The defined time frame establishes the period for which risk is being evaluated to determine the likelihood of failure during the given time frame. The defined time frame for this risk assessment is 12 months, with the assumption of normal weather conditions for the region. The Tree Risk Matrix, provided in Exhibit 1, consists of two matrices that are used to estimate the likelihood of a tree impacting a specific target (e.g., automobile, person, house) and to determine the level of risk as a combination of likelihood of tree or tree partfailingand impacting target and the severity of the consequences from that failure. Usingthe Tree Risk Matrix, the qualified arborist is able to determine if the observed defect and/or tree has a low, moderate, high or extreme risk of failure. 13027 D U D E K 2 December 2022 16-85 Mr. Kevin Pekar Subject: Eucalyptus Tree Risk Evaluations - Balboa Branch Library, City of Newport Beach, California, 92660 Exhibit 1.

Specialized equipment, data analysis, and expertise are usually required for advanced assessments. For this assessment, sonic tomography was the specialized equipment used to perform a Level 3 Advanced Assessment of the lower trunk of all three of the eucalyptus trees located at the Balboa Branch Library. The sonic tomograph provides a detailed analysis of the structural integrity of the lower trunk and is discussed in the following section. Sonic Tomography Sonic tomography detects decay, cavities, and fractures in trees by measuring the velocity of sound waves as they pass through wood. Differences in velocity help determine areas of healthy wood and areas of damaged wood, as damaged wood has less elasticity and density than healthy wood. The reduction in elasticity results in the inability of sound waves to take a direct path through the wood, thereby indicating the presence of damaged wood. The speed of sound in wood correlates with wood quality and is, therefore, a measure of the breaking safety of the trunk (i.e., acceptable level of trunk damage/hollowness) and residual wall thickness (i.e., remaining undamaged wood). 13027 D U D E K 3 December 2022 16-86 Mr. Kevin Pekar Subject: Eucalyptus Tree Risk Evaluations - Balboa Branch Library, City of Newport Beach, California, 92660 To evaluate the presence and level of potential decay, cavities, and/or fractures within trees, a series of evenly spaced measuring points (MPs) are installed. MPs consist of pins that are tapped into the tree with a hammer until they make contact with the wood and are past the tree's bark layer. Contact with wood allows for accurate sound transmission. Upon completion of MP placement, the geometry of each tree was recorded using PiCUS calipers and a triangulation method (Exhibits 2 and 3). During the triangulation method, the MP positions are split into triangles, and the lengths of all sides are measured. The resulting measurements provide a detailed image of the tree's geometry, which is essential for calculating the sonic tomogram of a tree. Exhibit 2.

Triangulation Method MP2.3.4 *r a I� IMP1 MP5 Once the tree's geometry has been calculated and recorded, sensors are attached to the MPs and sonic measurements are taken. The sonic measurements are taken by tapping each MP with an electronic hammer that creates sonic waves (Exhibit 4). Exhibit 4. Graphic Representation of Sonic Measurement Method These sonic waves reverberate through the tree and the velocity of each wave is recorded at each of the MPs. This process is repeated until all MPs have been tapped and the corresponding velocities are recorded. The sonic tomograph's main unit (a computer) records and calculates the sonic tomogram when all readings have been taken. The tomogram then shows the relative and apparent ability of the wood to transmit acoustic waves. This representation displays different colors that represent the various properties of the wood (Exhibit 5). The colors displayed and their corresponding properties are as follows: • Dark brown - Areas of healthy wood, where the fastest velocities occur • - Varies, but describes the distance between healthy and damaged wood, and can be indicative of early fungus infection • Violets and blues - Damaged wood 13027 December 2022 DUDEK 5 16-88 Mr. Kevin Pekar Subject: Eucalyptus Tree Risk Evaluations - Balboa Branch Library, City of Newport Beach, California, 92660 Exhibit 5. Graphic Representation of Sonic Tomogram Reading (not subject tree) Following the sonic tomography sampling, data was electronically transferred into the PiCUS 3 software program (i.e., custom software created for the analysis and presentation of sonic tomograph data) for detailed analysis. The software calculates 2D tomograms that show the ability of wood to transmit sonic waves, which allows the user to measure residual wall thickness. During the analysis, the extent and level of decay within the tree was calculated and the structural integrity of the tree was analyzed. Following completion of the damaged/decayed wood analysis, Dudek calculated the overall level of damaged wood at the cross -sectional plane of evaluation using PiCUS Q74 software for the evaluation of sonic tomograms. After completion of the analysis, management recommendations for each tree were made. The management recommendations are based upon the findings of the Level 2 and Level 3 evaluations. The combination of the Level 2 and Level 3 evaluations provides a comprehensive overview of each tree and the associated risk. Note that the failure risk described in this study is based on failure at the point of inspection and does not include failure risk associated with other tree components, such as root crown, root, and branch failure. 3 Results The following subsections detail the results from the Level 2 and Level 3 tree risk assessments. 3.1 Results — Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment Summary The Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessments evaluated site history, tree health and species profiles, load factors, and tree defects and conditions affecting the likelihood of failure in the crown and branches, trunk, and roots/root collar for three trees. The following subsections provide a summary of those findings, and Attachment 2, Basic Risk Assessment Matrix, provides a detailed summary on an individual tree basis. Attachment 3, Photograph Log, provides photographs of the three evaluated trees. 13027 D U D E K 6 December 2022 16-89 Mr. Kevin Pekar Subject: Eucalyptus Tree Risk Evaluations - Balboa Branch Library, City of Newport Beach, California, 92660 Targets Targets represent people and property that may be impacted should failure of the tree or tree part occur. Targets were first classified by their distance in relation to the tree. Anything that is a distance beyond 1.5 times the height of the tree is not considered a target, as impact would not occur in the event of whole tree failure. For the three trees, the main targets identified were the library/fire station, vehicles (parked and moving), pedestrians, library visitors, street signs, a high voltage power box, and utility boxes. The distance of targets from trees varied from being within the drip line, within 1 times tree height, and 1.5 times tree height. Occupancy rate is the other factor used to assess targets, or how often a target is within the fall distance from the tree. For this site, frequency was identified as the following for each target: • Rare: Moving cars - This reflects that while cars travel on a road adjacent to the trees, the actual time spent within the fall distance of an individual tree is brief. • Occasional: Pedestrians - Pedestrians are infrequently or irregularly within the fall distance of an individual tree, but they are not uncommon. • Frequent: Parked cars, library visitors - Cars were located parked on streets and in the library/fire station parking lots. Parked cars and library visitors are considered to have a frequent occupant rate as parked cars and library visitors will eventually move, but may remain in the same location for an extended period of time. • Constant: Library, houses, street signs, utility boxes, and high voltage power box - These structures are fixed and do not move. As such, they are constantly within the fall distance of the assessed trees. Growing Environment All three trees are large, mature blue gum eucalyptus trees located on flatterrain. The trees are in a well -maintained turf landscape and parking lot behind the Balboa Branch Library. Surrounding land uses include residential homes to the north, a public library and fire station to the south, a public parking garage and restaurant to the west, and library/fire station designated parkingto the east. In general, the landscaping consists of turf, small ficus trees, and ornamental plants. Irrigation throughout the site generally consists of pop-up sprinklers. Site history was evaluated and includes factors such as previous land uses; grade changes; and potentially cut/damaged roots from construction related activities, landscaping, and irrigation installation. All three of the assessed trees appeared to be subject to a mixture of direct and indirect impacts that may have resulted from the development process. In general, the prevailing wind direction is from the west, with common occurrences of high wind events from Santa Ana wind conditions. Load Factors Load factors evaluate a tree's level of exposure to wind and the ability of the tree to disperse the force of the wind throughout the crown. Trees with a dense crown have more canopy area to buffer the impact of wind, and therefore have a lower overall load placed on limbs and branches. A lower load factor reduces the potential for limbs and branches to break during a wind event. The wind exposure for the three trees is consistent, with each individual tree partially protected from wind exposure by the adjacent trees. The trees crowns have a density described as sparse due to recent thinning and reduction pruning. 13027 December 2022 DUDEK 16-90 Mr. Kevin Pekar Subject: Eucalyptus Tree Risk Evaluations - Balboa Branch Library, City of Newport Beach, California, 92660 Tree Health and Species Profile The health and species profile of each tree was evaluated to determine vigor; percent of the crown that is normal, chlorotic (abnormal), or necrotic (dead); observable pests, abiotic disorders (human inflicted), and the known failure issues associated with the tree species. Overall, the vigor of the trees was classified as normal and showed little to no signs of decline. All three trees were observed to have minor levels of tortoise beetle activity. Tortoise beetle feeds on the leaf of a tree but is not a threat to tree mortality. Damage to a tree from tortoise beetle is largely aesthetic. The species failure profile is categorized by branches, trunk, and roots, and is specific to an individual tree species. Blue gum eucalyptus trees are commonly observed to have branch part failure that results in branches breaking and falling. The trunks and roots of blue gum trees are susceptible to fungal diseases that can cause decay to the hard wood of a tree. If the decay is severe, blue gum trees will typically experience failure in the root system, as opposed to the trunk breaking. Tree Defects and Conditions Affecting the Likelihood of Failure The assessment of tree defects and conditions affecting the likelihood of failure represents the observations of the arborist's visual assessment of the trees' crown and branches, trunk, and roots and root collar. Each tree part was assessed on multiple factors that reflect poor structural conditions, dead wood, pests, diseases, previous maintenance work, and other factors that may result in a defect of the tree part. For each tree, the arborist identified the defect of main concern, rated the likelihood that failure would occur within the given 12-month time frame, and rated the total load (mass) of the defect. The following section provides a review of the observed defects and conditions affecting the likelihood of failure for the trees' crown and branches, trunk, and root/root collar. Crown and Branches The tree crowns and branches were assessed on conditions such as crown balance, live crown ratio, and other factors that reflect weak attachments like co -dominant stems, included bark, and response growth from previous pruning. The tree crowns reach approximately 50 to 55 feet in height and range from 40 to 60 feet across at their widest points. The scaffold branches for all three trees vary with regard to their evaluated "weak" or "strong" attachment points. Many trees exhibit evidence of past pruning (wounds, both callused and those that became injuries). Examples of weak attachment points include co -dominant stems and epicormic sprouts that have grown to a large size and included bark from acute attachment angles. Conversely, stronger attachments consisted of accommodating attachment angles with no included bark and sound branch architecture. Additional maladies observed within the tree crowns included co -dominant form with multiple leaders, crossed branches and poor branch attachments, and previous scaffold branch failure in the crown. Details forthe individual crown and branch assessments can be found in Attachment 2. It should be noted that the crown and branch evaluations were limited attimes by interior foliage, branches, and/or obstructions that limited viewing. Aerial crown evaluations of the trees were beyond the scope of this assessment. 13027 D U D E K 8 December 2022 16-91 Mr. Kevin Pekar Subject: Eucalyptus Tree Risk Evaluations - Balboa Branch Library, City of Newport Beach, California, 92660 Trunk The trunk of each tree was assessed for defects that could lead to failure, includingthe presence of conks, co -dominant stems, signs of decay, damage to sapwood or heartwood, and a noticeable lean. The trees' trunks range from 19 to 56 inches in diameter at standard height. Below are the most common tree trunk conditions and defects observed in the three trees: • Lean: All three of the trees were observed to be leaning (from vertical), with lean degrees ranging from 3 to 22. While all the trees have an observed lean, typically a tree's lean will result in a failure of the root system, and not a breaking of the trunk itself. • Cankers/Galls/Burls: Tree ID 3517580 has a large burl on the south side of the tree, approximately 6 feet above the base. • Main Concern: Tree ID 3517579 has a large old wound with observed sulfur fungus (Laetiporus sulphureus). Sulfur fungus causes brown cubic rot in the heartwood of the trees that it infects and is routinely identified in blue gum eucalyptus. Brown cubical rot primarily attacks the cellulose and hemicellulose in wood, leaving behind the brown, brittle, and weakened lignin. As the decayed wood dries, the wood will shrink and break into cubes, causing decreased flexibility in wood, which can leave the tree vulnerable to failure due to its weakened structural state. Additional concerns can be found in Attachment 2. Roots and Root Collar The root collars of two of the trees were buried at the time of the evaluations. Root crown evaluations of trees 3517579 and 3517537 were limited to the visible portion of the crown. None of the trees exhibited signs of root fungal decay. Damage to the roots due to development and landscape maintenance was the main concern for all three trees' roots Risk Categorization In order to evaluate potential risk, a Dudek Tree Risk Assessment Qualified arborist evaluated the trees using the ISA Basic Tree Risk Assessment Form. As observed at the time of the tree inspection, potential targets should tree failure (whole tree, branch, trunk, or root) occur included the library/fire station, vehicles (parked and moving), pedestrians, library visitors, houses, street signs, a high voltage power box, and utility boxes. Examples of each observed evaluated target can be seen in photographs in Attachment 3. Potential targets ranged from within the trees' canopies to within 1.5 times the height of the trees. It should be noted that any specific target may or may not be associated with all of the trees on site and may only be associated with one individual tree. The frequency of the targets ranges from constant (i.e., library, houses, street signs, utility boxes, and high voltage power box ) to rare (i.e., moving cars). Details are provided in the Level 2 Basic Risk Assessment Matrix in Attachment 2. Risk rating is a factor of the potential for tree or tree part failure, the likelihood of impact with a target, and the consequences of failure. The moderate risk rating is related to a probable likelihood that any specific part would fail, a high likelihood that a target would be present during the potential failure, and a significant level of consequence should failure and impact occur. The high -risk rating is related to a probable likelihood that any specific part would fail, a high likelihood that a target would be present during the potential failure, and a severe level of consequence should failure and impact occur. Based on the findings of the Level 2 evaluations, Tree ID 13027 D U D E K 9 December 2022 16-92 Mr. Kevin Pekar Subject: Eucalyptus Tree Risk Evaluations - Balboa Branch Library, City of Newport Beach, California, 92660 3517579 and 3517537 were found to have a high -risk rating and Tree ID 3517580 was found to have a moderate risk rating. 3.2 Results — Level 3 Advanced Assessment Summary The following describes the findings of the Level 3 Advanced Assessment. Sonic Tomography All three eucalyptus trees at the Balboa Library were evaluated for the presence of internal decay, damaged wood, and/or cracks. Dudek found that both trunks of Tree ID 3517580 had low detectable internal damage (less than 5%), Tree ID 3517537 had an elevated level of detectable internal damage (17%), and Tree ID 3517579 had a very high level detectable internal damage (47%) at the reading location. Attachment 5, Tomography Matrices, presents the sonic tomography evaluations on an individual basis. Individual sonic tomograms for the three trees are presented in Attachment 6, Individual Sonic Tomograms. 4 Recommendations Based on the tree risk evaluations, Dudek recommends the following management actions to mitigate potential tree risk, and reduce the likelihood of tree and/or tree part failure (see Attachment 4, Management Recommendations, for further recommendations): Tree ID 3517579: Due to the location of Tree ID 3517579 in the landscape and based on the findings of the risk evaluation, Dudek recommends that the tree be removed. The increased level of observed decay in between the northern flush cut codominant stump and the two stems to the south increases the risk of failure associated with the tree. As such, to reduce the likelihood of failure and associated risk Dudek recommends the tree be removed. Tree ID 3517580: Dudek recommends maintainingthe tree's annual reduction pruning cycle. Pruning should focus on reducing the end weight of large scaffold branches, removing weakly attached epicormic growth and removing structurally unsound limbs (e.g., crossing or rubbing branches, dead wood/branches). Reduction cuts should be made per ISA guidelines, and avoiding stub cuts. Due to the heavy crown thinning that occurred this year, no additional thinning is recommended until 2023. Following completion of the recommended maintenance, the residual risk associated with the tree will be low. It is recommended that the tree be monitored using a Level 1 limited visual inspection and a Level 3 evaluation using a PiCUS 3 Sonic Tomograph on an annual basis to identify any new potential defects that pose a risk to the community. Tree ID 3517537: Dudek recommends maintaining the tree's annual reduction pruning cycle. Pruning should be focused on reducing the end weight of large scaffold branches, removing weakly attached epicormic growth along the branches and removing any structurally unsound limbs (e.g., crossing or rubbing branches, dead wood/branches). Due to the heavy crown thinning that occurred this year, no additional thinning is recommended. Following completion of the recommended maintenance, the residual risk associated with the tree will be moderate due to the elevated levels of internal decay in the trunk. It is recommended that the tree be monitored using a Level 1 limited visual inspection and a Level 3 evaluation using a PiCUS 3 Sonic Tomograph on an annual basis to identify any new potential defects that pose a risk to the community. Should the levels of decay increase to a high level, tree removal may be necessary to minimize the risk the tree presents to the community. 13027 D U D E K 10 December 2022 16-93 Mr. Kevin Pekar Subject: Eucalyptus Tree Risk Evaluations - Balboa Branch Library, City of Newport Beach, California, 92660 In addition to the individual tree management recommendations discussed above, Dudek recommends the following: 1. Maintenance schedule: To minimize the risk of branch, limb, and/or trunk failure, Dudek recommends that the trees be maintained on an annual maintenance cycle. An annual maintenance cycle will include the following: • Reduce hazardous/dead branches on a more regular basis • Help reduce weight and mass in the upper tree crowns • Allow the tree -trimming contractor to visually inspect the tree crowns on a routine basis for defects and potential failure points 2. Pruning: Weight reductions and corrective pruning will help correct the observed weak branch attachments. The recommended crown cleaning should remove no more than 20% of the crown, unless it is necessary to correct branching defects. Crown reduction and removal of structurally unsound limbs will reduce identified hazards, including dead and declining branches/limbs. 3. Tree Inspection: The routine inspection and analysis of these three trees is recommended to help identify and minimize the risk associated with the trees. However, inspections alone may not be sufficient to reduce the risk presented by them to a level acceptable to the City. As such, it is recommended that the City incorporate specifications into the tree maintenance contract that require the contractor to record and submit all abnormal or suspicious tree irregularities to the City. This will help reveal potential issues early so they can be appropriately managed and mitigated. It is recommended that the tree inspections occur following storms, high wind events such as Santa Ana winds, and on an annual basis during routine maintenance. 5 Migratory Bird Treaty Act The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (1918) requires tree removal and potentially disturbing construction activities to occur during certain times to avoid harassment of nesting birds. According to this act, no construction or other disturbing activities can occur within 500 feet of an active bird nest duringthe period beginning in January and ending in June each year. Biological surveys should be conducted to provide clearance for project initiation. 6 Concluding Notes This letter report provides conclusions and recommendations based on the assessment of three eucalyptus trees located at the Balboa Branch Library in Newport Beach, California, by ISA Certified Arborists and ISA-qualified tree risk assessors. The conclusions and findings discussed in this report and the associated tree or tree -part risk opinions are valid for no longer than 12 months and only under normal weather conditions. Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to examine trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to reduce the risk of living near trees. No internal, aerial, and subterranean evaluations were conducted as part of this assessment. Therefore, the extent of any internal rot conditions of the trunk and roots were not determined. Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the failure of a tree. Trees are living organisms that fail in ways not fully understood. Conditions are often hidden within trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances or for a specified period of time. There are no 13027 D U D E K 11 December 2022 16-94 Mr. Kevin Pekar Subject: Eucalyptus Tree Risk Evaluations - Balboa Branch Library, City of Newport Beach, California, 92660 guarantees that a tree's condition will not change over a short or long period due to climatic, cultural, or environmental conditions. Trees provide many benefits to those who live near them. They also include inherent risk that can be minimized, but not eliminated.

Obvious and significant defects such as excessive lean, soil heaving or lifting, severe cracks, hangers, wounds/cankers, large dead or broken branches, and obvious fungal fruiting bodies are noted during the inspection. Level 2 Basic Tree A Level 2, or basic, assessment is a detailed visual inspection of a tree and its Risk Assessment surrounding site, and a synthesis of the information collected. It requires that a tree risk assessor walk completely around a tree looking at the site, buttress roots, trunk, and branches. A basic assessment may include the use of simple tools to gain additional information about the tree or its defects. Level 2 Tree Risk Assessment A Level 2, or basic, assessment is a detailed visual inspection of a tree and its surrounding site, and a synthesis of the information collected. It requires that a tree risk assessor walk completely around a tree looking at the site, buttress roots, trunk, and branches. A basic assessment may include the use of simple tools to gain additional information about the tree or defects. Level 3 Advanced Assessment Advanced assessments (generally more time intensive) are performed in conjunction with or after a Level 2 assessment to provide detailed information about specific tree parts, defects, targets, or site conditions. Specialized equipment, data collection and analysis, and/or expertise are usually required for advanced assessments. Procedures and methodologies should be selected and applied as appropriate, with consideration for what is reasonable to specific conditions and situations.

These trees were last inspected by Dudek in November 2022 due to the City's concerns over the trees' structural integrity. To evaluate the risk associated with the two eucalyptus trees, the City requested that a Dudek International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist and ISA-qualified tree risk assessor evaluate the trees and provide recommendations for short- and long-term tree management. Dudek Arborist Katrina Burritt evaluated the two subject eucalyptus trees and their surrounding environment on August 29, 2023. Duringthe inspection, the arborist evaluated each tree and the risk each presents to the public and surrounding infrastructure. The inspection done on August 29, 2023, was a re-evaluation of site conditions recorded in 2022. Tree evaluations included an inspection of the trees' crowns for trimming recommendations, of the trunks and scaffold branches' for overall structural soundness, and of trunk bases for presence of observable cavities or signs of rot. The evaluations focused on identifying trunk and/or branch defects that may pose a risk to the community. Growing environment evaluations included a standard site protocol to determine if there are factors that may be causing or may lead to future tree decline and/or increased risk to the surrounding community. The evaluations focused on collecting information that could be used to determine the trees' risk ratings to help formulate recommendations for short- and long-term tree management. This letter report summarizes the results of Dudek's assessment and provides recommendations for tree management. 1 Overview Dudek's assessment and evaluation consisted of the following: 1. Perform a Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment of two eucalyptus trees located at the Balboa Branch Library. 2. Perform a Level 3 Advanced Assessment of two eucalyptus trees located at the Balboa Branch Library. 1 Terms shown in bold are defined in Attachment 1, Glossary of Terms. TO: KEVIN PEKAR SUBJECT: EUCALYPTUS TREE RISK EVALUATIONS - BALBOA BRANCH LIBRARY, CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, 92660 3. Develop a letter report and associated tree information matrix that identifies the potentially hazardous trees and their locations, obvious defects, and potential targets and provides recommended mitigation for the observed defects. 2 Evaluation Methods On August 29, 2023, Dudek ISA certified arborist and ISA qualified tree risk assessor Katrina Burritt evaluated the two blue gum eucalyptus trees located at the Balboa Branch Library. The library is located near the intersection of Island Avenue and East Bay Avenue in Newport Beach, California. The evaluations consisted of a Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment and a Level 3 Advanced Assessment with the use of a PiCUS 3 Sonic Tomograph. The evaluations focused on the trunk, crown, and roots. No root excavations were performed during the assessment. Tree health and structure were evaluated based on the ISA tree risk assessment guidelines. The following subsections detail the methods used during the evaluation. 2.1 Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment The Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment is a 360' visual assessment that evaluates the tree's crown, trunk, and trunk flare, visible aboveground roots, and site conditions. The assessment involves inspection of the tree's crown, branches, trunk, and root collar for the presence of structural defects such as included bark, cavities, fungal fruiting bodies, and/or decay. The Level 2 assessment also evaluates the likelihood that an observed defect could fail, the likelihood of the defect impacting a specific target should failure occur, and the subsequent damage that may occur should failure and impact occur. Through this evaluation, the level of risk for a tree and/or a specific tree part is determined using ISA's Tree Risk Matrix and based on a defined time frame. The defined time frame establishes the period for which risk is being evaluated to determine the likelihood of failure during the given time frame. The defined time frame for this risk assessment is 12 months, with the assumption of normal weather conditions for the region. The Tree Risk Matrix, provided in Exhibit 1, consists of two matrices that are used to estimate the likelihood of a tree impacting a specific target (e.g., automobile, person, house) and to determine the level of risk as a combination of likelihood of tree or tree partfailingand impacting a target and the severity of the consequences from that failure. Usingthe Tree Risk Matrix, the qualified arborist is able to determine if the observed defect and/or tree has a low, moderate, high, or extreme risk of failure.

Specialized equipment, data analysis, and expertise are usually required for advanced assessments. For this assessment, sonic tomography was the specialized equipment used to perform a Level 3 Advanced Assessment of the lower trunks of both eucalyptus trees located at the Balboa Branch Library. The sonic tomograph provides a detailed analysis of the structural integrity of the lower trunk and is discussed in the following section. Sonic Tomography Sonic tomography detects decay, cavities, and fractures in trees by measuring the velocity of sound waves as they pass through wood. Differences in velocity help determine areas of healthy wood and areas of damaged wood, as damaged wood has less elasticity and density than healthy wood. The reduction in elasticity results in the inability of sound waves to take a direct path through the wood, thereby indicating the presence of damaged wood. The DUDEK 13027 OCTOBER 2023 16-114 TO: KEVIN PEKAR SUBJECT: EUCALYPTUS TREE RISK EVALUATIONS - BALBOA BRANCH LIBRARY, CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, 92660 speed of sound in wood correlates with wood quality and is, therefore, a measure of the breaking safety of the trunk (i.e., acceptable level of trunk damage/hollowness) and residual wall thickness (i.e., remaining undamaged wood). To evaluate the presence and level of potential decay, cavities, and/or fractures within trees, a series of evenly spaced measuring points (MPs) are installed. MPs consist of pins that are tapped into the tree with a hammer until they make contact with the wood and are past the tree's bark layer. Contact with wood allows for accurate sound transmission. Upon completion of MP placement, the geometry of each tree was recorded using PiCUS calipers and a triangulation method (Exhibits 2 and 3). During the triangulation method, the MP positions are split into triangles, and the lengths of all sides are measured. The resulting measurements provide a detailed image of the tree's geometry, which is essential for calculating the sonic tomogram of a tree. Exhibit 2. Calculating a Tree's Geometry r DUDEK 13027 4 OCTOBER 2023 16-115 TO: KEVIN PEKAR SUBJECT: EUCALYPTUS TREE RISK EVALUATIONS - BALBOA BRANCH LIBRARY, CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, 92660 Exhibit 3. Triangulation Method MP2.3.4 mpg MP-5 i Once the tree's geometry has been calculated and recorded, sensors are attached to the MPs and sonic measurements are taken. The sonic measurements are taken by tapping each MP with an electronic hammer that creates sonic waves (Exhibit 4). Exhibit 4. Graphic Representation of Sonic Measurement Method These sonic waves reverberate through the tree and the velocity of each wave is recorded at each of the MPs. This process is repeated until all MPs have been tapped and the corresponding velocities are recorded. The sonic tomograph's main unit (a computer) records and calculates the sonic tomogram when all readings have been taken. The tomogram then shows the relative and apparent ability of the wood to transmit acoustic waves. This representation displays different colors that represent the various properties of the wood (Exhibit 5). The colors displayed and their corresponding properties are as follows: ■ Dark brown - Areas of healthy wood, where the fastest velocities occur ■ - Varies, but describes the distance between healthy and damaged wood, and can be indicative of early fungus infection ■ Violets and blues - Damaged wood DUDEK 13027 5 OCTOBER 2023 16-116 TO: KEVIN PEKAR SUBJECT: EUCALYPTUS TREE RISK EVALUATIONS - BALBOA BRANCH LIBRARY, CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, 92660 Exhibit 5. Graphic Representation of Sonic Tomogram Reading (not subject tree) Following the sonic tomography sampling, data was electronically transferred into the PiCUS 3 software program (i.e., custom software created for the analysis and presentation of sonic tomograph data) for detailed analysis. The software calculates 2D tomograms that show the ability of wood to transmit sonic waves, which allows the user to measure residual wall thickness. During the analysis, the extent and level of decay within the tree was calculated and the structural integrity of the tree was analyzed. Following completion of the damaged/decayed wood analysis, Dudek calculated the overall level of damaged wood at the cross -sectional plane of evaluation using PiCUS Q74 software for the evaluation of sonic tomograms. After completion of the analysis, management recommendations for each tree were made. The management recommendations are based upon the findings of the Level 2 and Level 3 evaluations. The combination of the Level 2 and Level 3 evaluations provides a comprehensive overview of each tree and the associated risk. The failure risk described in this study is based on failure at the point of inspection and does not include failure risk associated with other tree components, such as root crown, root, and branch failure. 3 Results The following subsections detail the results from the Level 2 and Level 3 tree risk assessments. 3.1 Results - Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessment Summary The Level 2 Basic Tree Risk Assessments evaluated site history, tree health and species profiles, load factors, and tree defects and conditions affecting the likelihood of failure in the crown and branches, trunk, and roots/root collar for two trees. The following subsections provide a summary of those findings, and Attachment 2, Basic Risk Assessment Matrix, provides a detailed summary on an individual tree basis. Attachment 3, Photograph Log, provides photographs of the two evaluated trees. DUDEK 13027 6 OCTOBER 2023 16-117 TO: KEVIN PEKAR SUBJECT: EUCALYPTUS TREE RISK EVALUATIONS - BALBOA BRANCH LIBRARY, CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, 92660 Targets Targets represent people and property that may be impacted should failure of the tree or tree part occur. Targets were first classified by their distance in relation to the tree. Anything that is a distance beyond 1.5 times the height of the tree is not considered a target, as impact would not occur in the event of whole tree failure. For the two trees, the main targets identified were the library/fire station, vehicles (parked and moving), pedestrians, library visitors, street signs, a high voltage power box, and utility boxes. The distance of targets from trees varied from being within the drip line, within 1 times tree height, and within 1.5 times tree height. Occupancy rate is the other factor used to assess targets, or how often a target is within the fall distance from the tree. For this site, frequency was identified as the following for each target: ■ Rare: Moving cars - This reflects that while cars travel on a road adjacent to the trees, the actual time spent within the fall distance of an individual tree is brief. ■ Occasional: Pedestrians - Pedestrians are infrequently or irregularly within the fall distance of an individual tree, but they are not uncommon. ■ Frequent: Parked cars, library visitors - Cars were located parked on streets and in the library/fire station parking lots. Parked cars and library visitors are considered to have a frequent occupant rate as parked cars and library visitors will eventually move but may remain in the same location for an extended period of time. ■ Constant: Library, houses, street signs, utility boxes, and high voltage power box - These structures are fixed and do not move. As such, they are constantly within the fall distance of the assessed trees. Growing Environment Both trees are large, mature blue gum eucalyptus trees located on flat terrain. The trees are in a well -maintained turf landscape and parking lot behind the Balboa Branch Library. Surrounding land uses include residential homes to the north, a public library and fire station to the south, a public parking garage and restaurant to the west, and library/fire station designated parkingto the east. In general, the landscaping consists of turf, small ficus trees, and ornamental plants. Irrigation throughout the site generally consists of pop-up sprinklers. Site history was evaluated and includes factors such as previous land uses; grade changes; and potentially cut/damaged roots from construction -related activities, landscaping, and irrigation installation. Both of the assessed trees appeared to be subject to a mixture of direct and indirect impacts that may have resulted from the development process. In general, the prevailing wind direction is from the west, with common occurrences of high wind events from Santa Ana wind conditions. Load Factors Load factors evaluate a tree's level of exposure to wind and the ability of the tree to disperse the force of the wind throughout the crown. Trees with a dense crown have more canopy area to buffer the impact of wind, and therefore have a lower overall load placed on limbs and branches. A lower load factor reduces the potential for limbs and branches to break during a wind event. The wind exposure for both trees is consistent, with each individual tree partially protected from wind exposure bythe adjacenttrees. The trees' crowns have a density described as normal, though past thinning and reduction pruning has occurred. DUDEK 13027 OCTOBER 2023 16-118 TO: KEVIN PEKAR SUBJECT: EUCALYPTUS TREE RISK EVALUATIONS - BALBOA BRANCH LIBRARY, CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, 92660 Tree Health and Species Profile The health and species profile of each tree was evaluated to determine vigor; percent of the crown that is normal, chlorotic (abnormal), or necrotic (dead); observable pests; abiotic disorders (human inflicted); and the known failure issues associated with the tree species. Overall, the vigor of the trees was classified as normal and showed little to no signs of decline. Both trees were observed to have minor levels of tortoise beetle activity. Tortoise beetle feeds on the leaf of a tree but is not a threat to tree mortality. Damage to a tree from tortoise beetle is largely aesthetic. The species failure profile is categorized by branches, trunk, and roots, and is specific to an individual tree species. Blue gum eucalyptus trees are commonly observed to have branch part failure that results in branches breaking and falling. The trunks and roots of blue gum trees are susceptible to fungal diseases that can cause decay to the hard wood of a tree. If the decay is severe, blue gum trees will typically experience failure in the root system, as opposed to the trunk breaking. Tree Defects and Conditions Affecting the Likelihood of Failure The assessment of tree defects and conditions affecting the likelihood of failure represents the observations from the arborist's visual assessment of the trees' crown and branches, trunk, and roots and root collar. Each tree part was assessed on multiple factors that reflect poor structural conditions, dead wood, pests, diseases, previous maintenance work, and other factors that may result in a defect of the tree part. For each tree, the arborist identified the defect of main concern, rated the likelihood that failure would occur within the given 12-month time frame, and rated the total load (mass) of the defect. The following section provides a review of the observed defects and conditions affecting the likelihood of failure for the trees' crown and branches, trunk, and root/root collar. Crown and Branches The tree crowns and branches were assessed on conditions such as crown balance, live crown ratio, and other factors that reflect weak attachments like co -dominant stems, included bark, and response growth from previous pruning. The tree crowns reach approximately 40 to 45 feet in height and range from 40 to 70 feet across at their widest points. The scaffold branches for the two subject trees vary with regard to their evaluated "weak" or "strong" attachment points. Each tree exhibits evidence of past pruning (wounds, both callused and those that became injuries). Examples of weak attachment points include co -dominant stems and epicormic sprouts that have grown to a large size and included bark from acute attachment angles. Conversely, stronger attachments consisted of accommodating attachment angles with no included bark and sound branch architecture. Additional maladies observed within the tree crowns included co -dominant form with multiple leaders, crossed branches and poor branch attachments, and previous scaffold branch failure in the crown. Details forthe individual crown and branch assessments can be found in Attachment 2. The crown and branch evaluations were limited at times by interior foliage, branches, and/or obstructions that limited viewing. Aerial crown evaluations of the trees were beyond the scope of this assessment. DUDEK 13027 8 OCTOBER 2023 16-119 TO: KEVIN PEKAR SUBJECT: EUCALYPTUS TREE RISK EVALUATIONS - BALBOA BRANCH LIBRARY, CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, 92660 Trunk The trunk of each tree was assessed for defects that could lead to failure, including the presence of conks, co -dominant stems, signs of decay, damage to sapwood or heartwood, and a noticeable lean. The trees' trunks range from 64 to 89 inches in diameter at standard height. Below are the most common tree trunk conditions and defects observed in the two trees: ■ Lean: Tree ID351780 has codominant stems that were observed to be leaning (from vertical) away from each other, with lean degrees of 15 and 22. While all the trees have an observed lean, typically a tree's lean will result in a failure of the root system, and not a breaking of the trunk itself. ■ Cankers/Galls/Burls: Tree ID 3517580 has a large burl on the south side of the tree, approximately 6 feet above the base. ■ Included Bark: Tree ID 3517537 has multiple co -dominant stems that fuse together at approximately 3 feet above the base and then again at approximately 12 feet above the base of the tree. Additional concerns can be found in Attachment 2. Roots and Root Collar Root crown evaluations of trees 3517580 and 3517537 were limited to the visible portion of the crown. None of the trees exhibited signs of root fungal decay. Damage to the roots due to development and landscape maintenance was the main concern for both trees' roots. Risk Categorization In order to evaluate potential risk, a Dudek qualified tree risk assessor evaluated the trees using the ISA Basic Tree Risk Assessment Form. As observed at the time of the tree inspection, potential targets should tree failure (whole tree, branch, trunk, or root) occur included the library/fire station, vehicles (parked and moving), pedestrians, library visitors, houses, street signs, a high voltage power box, and utility boxes. Examples of each observed evaluated target can be seen in photographs in Attachment 3. Potential targets ranged from within the trees' canopies to within 1.5 times the height of the trees. It should be noted that any specific target may or may not be associated with all of the trees on site and may only be associated with one individual tree. The frequency of the targets ranges from constant (i.e., library, houses, street signs, utility boxes, and high voltage power box ) to rare (i.e., moving cars). Details are provided in the Level 2 Basic Risk Assessment Matrix in Attachment 2. Risk rating is a factor of the potential for tree or tree part failure, the likelihood of impact with a target, and the consequences of failure. The moderate risk rating is related to a possible likelihood that any specific part would fail, a high likelihood that a target would be present during the potential failure, and a significant or severe level of consequence should failure and impact occur. The high -risk rating is related to a probable likelihood that any specific part would fail, a high likelihood that a target would be present during the potential failure, and a significant level of consequence should failure and impact occur. Based on the findings of the Level 2 evaluations, tree ID 3517537 was found to have a high risk rating and tree ID 3517580 was found to have a moderate risk rating. Tree ID 3517537's high risk rating occurred due to the risk associated with the tree's trunk impacting the library. Tree ID 3517580's moderate risk rating occurred due to the risk associated with the tree's crown, trunk, or roots impacting the library and parked cars. DUDEK 13027 OCTOBER 2023 16-120 TO: KEVIN PEKAR SUBJECT: EUCALYPTUS TREE RISK EVALUATIONS - BALBOA BRANCH LIBRARY, CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, 92660 3.2 Results - Level 3 Advanced Assessment Summary The following describes the findings of the Level 3 Advanced Assessment. Sonic Tomography Tree IDs 3517537 and 3517580 at the Balboa Branch Library were evaluated for the presence of internal decay, damaged wood, and/or cracks. Dudek found that both trunks of tree ID 3517580 had low detectable internal damage (less than 7%), and tree ID 3517537 had very high level of detectable internal damage (more than 43%) atthe reading location. Attachment 4, Tomography Matrices, presents the sonic tomography evaluations on an individual basis. Individual sonic tomograms for the two trees are presented in Attachment 5, Individual Sonic Tomograms. 4 Recommendations Based on the tree risk evaluations, Dudek recommends the following management actions to mitigate potential tree risk, and reduce the likelihood of tree and/or tree part failure (see Attachment 2 for recommendations): Tree ID 3517537: Due to the location of Tree ID 3517537 in the landscape and based on the findings of the risk evaluation, Dudek recommends that the tree be removed. The increased level of observed decay near the root collar at approximately 3 inches above grade increases the risk of failure associated with the tree. As such, to reduce the likelihood of failure and associated risk, Dudek recommends the tree be removed. Tree ID 3517580: Dudek recommends maintainingthe tree's annual reduction pruning cycle. Pruning should focus on reducingthe end weight of large scaffold branches (rather than the height of the tree), removing weakly attached epicormic growth, and removing structurally unsound limbs (e.g., crossing or rubbing branches, dead wood/branches). Weight reductions and corrective pruning will help correct the observed weak branch attachments. Reduction cuts should be made per ISA guidelines, avoiding stub cuts and pruningto a lateral branch that is at least one third the size of the original branch. The recommended pruning should remove no more than 20% of the crown unless it is necessary to correct branching defects. Crown reduction and removal of structurally unsound limbs will reduce identified hazards, including dead and declining branches/limbs. Following completion of the recommended maintenance, the residual risk associated with the tree's crown will be low. The residual risk associated with the tree's trunk and roots will remain at moderate. It is recommended that the tree be monitored using a Level 1 limited visual inspection and a Level 3 evaluation using a PiCUS 3 Sonic Tomograph on an annual basis to identify any new potential defects that pose a risk to the community. Dudek recommends that the tree - trimming contractor visually inspect the tree crown on a routine basis for defects and potential failure points. Inspections alone may not be sufficient to reduce the risk presented by the tree to a level acceptable to the City. As such, it is recommended that the City incorporate specifications into the tree maintenance contract that require the contractor to record and submit all abnormal or suspicious tree irregularities to the City. This will help reveal potential issues early so they can be appropriately managed and mitigated. It is recommended that tree inspections occur following storms, high wind events such as Santa Ana winds, and on an annual basis during routine maintenance. 5 Migratory Bird Treaty Act The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (1918) requires tree removal and potentially disturbing construction activities to occur during certain times to avoid harassment of nesting birds. According to this act, no construction or other disturbing D U D E K 13027 10 OCTOBER 2023 16-121 TO: KEVIN PEKAR SUBJECT: EUCALYPTUS TREE RISK EVALUATIONS - BALBOA BRANCH LIBRARY, CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, 92660 activities can occur within 500 feet of an active bird nest during the period beginning in January and ending in June each year. Biological surveys should be conducted to provide clearance for project initiation. 6 Concluding Notes This letter report provides conclusions and recommendations based on the assessment of two blue gum eucalyptus trees located at the Balboa Branch Library in Newport Beach, California, by Dudek's ISA certified arborist and ISA qualified tree risk assessor. The conclusions and findings discussed in this report and the associated tree or tree - part risk opinions are valid for no longer than 12 months and only under normal weather conditions. Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to examine trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to reduce the risk of living near trees. No aerial, and subterranean evaluations were conducted as part of this assessment. The extent of any internal rot conditions of the trunk were only determined at the point of measurement. Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the failure of a tree. Trees are living organisms that fail in ways not fully understood. Conditions are often hidden within trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances or for a specified period of time. There are no guarantees that a tree's condition will not change over a short or long period due to climatic, cultural, or environmental conditions. Trees provide many benefits to those who live near them. They also include inherent risk that can be minimized, but not eliminated.

Obvious and significant defects such as excessive lean, soil heaving or lifting, severe cracks, hangers, wounds/cankers, large dead or broken branches, and obvious fungal fruiting bodies are noted during the inspection. Level 2 Basic Tree A Level 2, or basic, assessment is a detailed visual inspection of a tree and its Risk Assessment surrounding site, and a synthesis of the information collected. It requires that a tree risk assessor walk completely around a tree looking at the site, buttress roots, trunk, and branches. A basic assessment may include the use of simple tools to gain additional information about the tree or its defects. Level 2 Tree Risk Assessment A Level 2, or basic, assessment is a detailed visual inspection of a tree and its surrounding site, and a synthesis of the information collected. It requires that a tree risk assessor walk completely around a tree looking at the site, buttress roots, trunk, and branches. A basic assessment may include the use of simple tools to gain additional information about the tree or defects. Level 3 Advanced Assessment Advanced assessments (generally more time intensive) are performed in conjunction with or after a Level 2 assessment to provide detailed information about specific tree parts, defects, targets, or site conditions.

To require that in approving any tree removal or reforestation request, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission ("Commission") shall find that the tree removal request will not adversely impact the overall inventory, diversity and age of the City's Urban Forest. To educate the public of the protections of the City's Urban Forest and guide, in a user-friendly way, the mechanisms in place for tree replacements. Purpose The purpose of this policy is to establish definitive standards for the retention, removal, maintenance, reforestation, tree trimming standards, and supplemental trimming of City trees. City trees are an important part of the character and charm of the entire City and provide environmental benefits as well. Regular care, trimming, root pruning, maintenance, and programmed replacement are necessary to preserve this charm while at the same time protecting public views consistent with City Council Policy G-3, providing personal safety, and preventing public and private property damage and providing a sustainable urban forest. The City classifies public trees in one of three categories: Special City Trees, Problem City Trees, and Standard City Trees. I. SPECIAL CITY TREES It is the City's policy to retain Special City Trees ("Special Trees") categorized as Landmark, Dedicated, or Neighborhood trees, because they have historical significance, and/or contribute to, and give character to, a location or to an entire neighborhood. Landmark, Dedicated, and Neighborhood trees are identified by species in Exhibit A and shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as Special Trees. Trees within these three categories shall be identified, mapped, recorded and administered by staff for the Commission. When staff proposes modifications, the Commission shall review the Special Tree list and forward recommendations for additions or deletions to the City Council for approval. Landmark Trees are identified as those individual Special Trees that possess historical significance by virtue of their size, age, location, or species. Dedicated Trees are Special Trees donated in the memory of specific individuals or organizations. Updates will be made annually to the City tree inventory system that correspond to the amended B-17 Policy: Parks, Facilities, and Recreation Program Donations. Exhibit A of this Policy will be updated annually to reflect updates. 16-138 Neighborhood Trees are Special Trees that by their unusual size, number, species, or location lend a special character to a residential, commercial, or business area. All Special Trees shall be retained unless there are overriding problems which will require their removal such as death, disease, interference with infrastructure, or the creation of a hazardous situation. Prior to considering the removal of any Special Tree(s), the Public Works Deputy Director, or designee, shall prepare a Tree Inspection Report, with a Tree Risk Assessment, identifying and implementing specific mitigation measures to retain the tree(s). For Landmark Tree(s), the Tree Risk Assessment shall include Level 3 Testing: Advanced Techniques to confirm the presence of any potential risks, unless waived by the City Council in advance. Where Tree Risk Assessment and Level 3 Testing: Advanced Techniques are required, the full costs of such testing and associated report will be the sole responsibility of the applicant. If the specific mitigation measures are unsuccessful or impractical in retaining a tree(s), then a full staff report shall be made to the Commission before any further action considering removal is taken. The reports shall also be provided to the Councilperson of the district in which the Special Tree is located. Prior to any removal of Special Tree(s), the City must comply with the noticing and appeal provisions set forth in Section IV.A (Removal of Special City Trees), unless a Special Tree is considered so hazardous as to necessitate an emergency removal. In the case of emergency removals, the Landscape Manager or the City Arborist shall have the authority to direct the removal of a hazardous tree. Long term, most trees reach maturity and decline, and will be replaced one -for -one with the same species or the closest equivalent wherever possible. An alternate species may be recommended by Staff if the same species is unavailable and will be subject to approval by the Commission. During normal sidewalk, curb, and street repair activity requiring root pruning, all steps shall be taken to retain Special Trees. If tree roots are to be pruned in association with sidewalk, curb, and gutter improvements, sufficient timing in advance must be planned to ensure that pruning will not destabilize or kill the tree. If both sides of a Special Tree's roots are to be pruned, one side should be pruned at minimum two years in advance of the other side depending upon the species and other related factors. If root pruning methods are not practical and/or critical to the health of the tree, then alternate or special hardscape improvements should be considered by the City in order to retain the tree providing that these measures are practical, costs are reasonable, and that they comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. All proposed root pruning or other tree treatment shall be evaluated and approved by the City Arborist. Special Trees may be considered for removal in conjunction with a City Council -approved beautification project utilizing the Removal of City Trees procedures as noted in Section IV.A. of this Policy. 16-139 11. PROBLEM CITY TREES A Problem City Tree ("Problem Tree") is defined as a tree that by virtue of its species is known to cause excessive hardscape or utility damage due to its excessive root system. The following trees are defined as Problem Trees: • Ficus nitida (Indian Laurel Fig) • Ficus rubiginosa (Rusty Leaf Fig) • Ficus benjamina (Weeping Fig) • Fraxinus uhdei (Shamel Ash) • Cupaniopsis anacardioides (Carrotwood) • Liquidambar styraciflua (American Sweet Gum) • Schinus terebinthifolius (Brazilian Pepper) Problem Trees shall not be designated as City parkway trees on the Street Designation Tree List of City Council Policy G-6 unless they are Special Trees. Problem Trees that are not designated Special Trees may be removed for the following reasons: A. The Problem Tree has had a repeated history of damaging public or private sewers, water mains, roadways, sidewalks, curbs, walls, fences, underground utilities, or foundations based on City records or other competent and reliable authority. Water or sewer blockage that results from tree roots and causes significant documented private property damage (greater than $1,000.00) may be sufficient criterion for tree removal; or B. The Problem Tree has had a repeated history of significant interference with street or sidewalk drainage, despite specific treatment by the City to alleviate repeated damage; or C. The Problem Tree has created, in the opinion of the City Arborist, a view impediment that cannot be resolved by normal nor alternative tree trimming procedures. Problem Trees may be proposed for removal by either staff or private property owners. The City Arborist has the authority to remove Problem Trees. No more than 50 Problem Trees may be removed per year by staff under the above criteria without special approval of the Commission. Replacement trees of a minimum 36-inch box size shall be planted if funding, availability, and growth space permits. Staff is responsible for notifying the adjacent property owner, the legally established homeowners association, if applicable, and the Councilperson of the district where the removal is proposed, of the intent to remove a Problem Tree. 16-140 The decision by the City Arborist to remove a problem tree is final unless called up by at least one Councilperson. The City Arborist shall report the removal of Problem Trees under the above criteria on a monthly basis to the Commission. The cost to remove and replace Problem Trees will be the sole responsibility of the City based on funding, availability, and growth space, except for Category C (view). I11. STANDARD CITY TREES A City tree which is located on City real property (parkways, parks, other City -owned property) and not designated as a Special or Problem Tree is designated as a Standard City Tree ("Standard Tree"). It is the City's policy to retain Standard Trees unless removal is necessary for one of the following reasons: A. The City tree has had a repeated history of damaging public or private sewers, water mains, roadways, sidewalks, curbs, walls, fences, underground utilities, or foundations based on City records or other competent and reliable authority. Water or sewer blockage that results from City tree roots and causes significant public or private property damage (greater than $1,000.00) may be sufficient criterion for tree removal; or B. The City tree has had a repeated history of significant interference with street or sidewalk drainage; or C. The City tree is dead, diseased, dying, or hazardous, and presents a liability to the City. A dead tree is one that has been assessed by the City Arborist and found to have deceased. Diseased trees are defined as those trees that cannot be cured by current arboricultural methods, are in an advanced state of decline, and have no prospect of recovery. Dying trees are those that have no prospect of recovery. Hazardous trees are defined as those that are defective, have a potential to fail, and would cause damage to persons and property upon failure. The City Arborist will perform a Level 2: Basic, Tree Risk Assessment whenever a tree is identified as hazardous. The assessment will identify: structural defects of the tree, parts of the tree most likely to fail, targets where imminent personal injury or property damage may result with tree failure, and procedures or actions necessary to mitigate the hazard. After assessment, the City Arborist will expeditiously convey his written findings and recommendations to the Landscape Manager for evaluation. In the case of imminent tree failure, the Landscape Manager or the City Arborist shall have the authority to direct the emergency removal of a hazardous tree without further approvals; or D. The tree(s) have been requested to be removed in conjunction with a City Council -approved City, commercial, neighborhood, or homeowners association beautification program; or 16-141 E. The tree(s) have been requested to be removed in conjunction with a commercial or residential project. Approval will only be granted if the City tree unreasonably impedes the planned construction. In these cases, the applicant will coordinate and assume all costs for the removal and replacement. Replacements will be a minimum of 36-inch box size, but larger sizes may be required at the Landscape Manager's discretion; or F. The City Manager, upon the advice of the Public Works Deputy Director, City Attorney, Risk Manager or the Traffic Engineer, shall have the authority to remove individual Problem or Standard Trees to resolve claims or safety issues. IV. REMOVAL OF CITY TREES A flowchart detailing tree removal procedures is available on the Public Work's website: www.newportbeachca. gov/govemment/departments/public-works/municipal-operations The initiation to remove City tree(s) may be made by the staff of the Public Works Department, a homeowners association, or a private property owner by submitting an application to the City Arborist, utilizing the City Tree Removal form available on the Public Works website: www.newportbeachca. gov/government/departments/public-works/municipal-operations The City will replace all trees removed in accordance with the Standard Trees removal criteria on a one for one basis, as funding, availability, and growth space permits. Replacement trees will be a minimum of a 36-inch boxed size. If 36-inch boxed trees are not available or if funding or space constraints prevent planting of a 36-inch boxed tree, then the largest tree available for the space available will be planted. The full costs of removal and replacement of all City Tree(s) will be the sole responsibility of the City, unless an applicant voluntarily pays for a new tree(s), or desires to upgrade to a box size larger than a 36-inch box as a replacement (if available), then the resident will be responsible for the difference in price. A. Removal of Special City Trees Special Trees, other than Landmark Trees, may be considered for removal under the same criteria as Standard Trees in Section III if a full staff report, prepared by the Public Works Deputy Director and approved by the City Manager, is provided to the Commission detailing the necessity of removal and any specific previous treatment of the tree. Removal of a Special Tree(s) is initiated by submitting an application utilizing the City Tree Removal form. 16-142 • After receipt of the application, a Tree Inspection Report shall be prepared by the City Arborist to determine if the tree(s) meets the criteria for consideration for removal outlined in Section III. The City Arborist shall determine whether in his/her judgment additional specific mitigation measures can be initiated to retain the tree provided the costs are reasonable. • Private property owners, residential communities, neighborhoods, or business organizations who apply for a Special Tree removal(s) must submit a petition signed by a minimum of 60% of City of Newport Beach property owners within a radius of 500 feet from the location of the proposed tree removal. The petition content must be approved and dated by City staff prior to distribution by the applicant. The staff - approved petition must be distributed by the applicant to all private property owners within the 500-foot radius. Signatures by non -property owners are not acceptable for petition purposes, and there may be no more than one signature per property. All petition signatures shall be verified by City staff for property owner status of the person(s) signing the petition. • Private property owners represented by a homeowners association with mandatory membership and within the 500-foot radius must, instead of the above petition procedure, submit a petition through their association. The association shall submit a resolution of the Board of Directors formally requesting a Special Tree removal(s) with a statement that all members of the homeowners association affected have been officially notified and given an appropriate opportunity to respond before the Board voted on the request. • The City Arborist shall also provide a notice of the proposed tree removal to the adjacent property owner (if not the applicant), the private property owners immediately adjacent to the applicant's property, and the appropriate homeowners association if applicable (not applicable to the emergency removal of hazardous trees under Section I (Special Trees)). • Once a recommendation is made by the City Arborist and the Landscape Manager to the Public Works Deputy Director or designee and the Deputy Director concurs, then the applicant, and private property owners within a 500-foot radius of the tree location, and a homeowners association if applicable, shall be notified via postcard of the recommendation at least 30 days before the Commission meeting. The postcard will include the date, time, and location of the Commission meeting and a City contact number. A homeowners association is responsible for notification of all association members pursuant to their established procedure. • An 8" x 5" placard will be posted on the Special Tree(s) considered for removal at least 30 days before the Commission meeting. The placard will include the following information: the date of its posting, the date, time and location of the Commission meeting, and a City contact number. 16-143 • The Public Works Deputy Director, or a designee, shall prepare a full staff report for a regularly scheduled Commission meeting of all trees recommended for removal, except for the emergency removal of hazardous trees in Section I (Special City Trees) of this Policy. • Following Commission approval for removal of a Special Tree(s), the tree(s) will be posted with a new 8" x 5" placard at least 30 days prior to the removal notifying the public that they have the right to appeal. The placard shall also note a Staff contact number and a date on which it was posted. • Any appeal to the Council regarding a Commission tree decision must be received by the Public Works Deputy Director no later than 30 calendar days following the date of the above reposting after the Commission decision. The Public Works Deputy Director will delay any tree removals until the appeal period has expired or until the Council has acted upon the appeal. • The full costs of removal and replacement of a Special Tree(s) will be the sole responsibility of the City, unless an applicant voluntarily pays for a new tree(s). B. Removal of Problem City Trees • Problem Trees may be proposed for removal by either City staff, a homeowners association, or private property owners by written application utilizing the City Tree Removal form. The City Arborist has the authority to remove Problem Trees. • If there are no removal criteria other than it being a Problem Tree species, then no more than 50 Problem Trees may be removed per year by staff without special approval of the Commission. • If there are no removal criteria other than it being a Problem Tree species, then no more than one of three problem parkway trees in a continuous row may be removed in a one-year period unless part of a reforestation approved by the Commission. Replacement trees of a 36" boxed size shall be planted if funding, availability, and growth space permits. • Staff is responsible for providing advance written notification, as applicable, to the adjacent property owner, the legally established homeowners association, and the Councilperson of the district where the removal is proposed of the intent to remove or retain a Problem Tree. 16-144 • Except for those trees categorized as Item C (dead, diseased, or dying trees) or Item F (claims and safety issues) in Section III (Standard City Trees), all Problem Tree removal(s) shall be posted with a minimum 8" x 5" placard at least 14 calendar days prior to the scheduled removal. The placard shall also note a Staff contact number and a date on which it was posted. Unless deemed an emergency, posting for the removal of dead, diseased, or hazardous trees shall be at least 72-hours prior to the scheduled removal. • The decision by the Landscape Manager to remove a problem tree is final unless called up by at least one Councilperson. The City Arborist shall report the removal of Problem Trees on a monthly basis to the Commission. • The cost to remove and replace Problem Trees will be the sole responsibility of the City based on availability of funding, with the exception of Category C (view) in Section II, which is the sole responsibility of the applicant. C. Removal of Standard City Trees • The initiation to remove a Standard Tree(s) may be made by the staff of the Public Works Department, a homeowners association, or a private property owner by submitting an application to the Landscape Manager, utilizing the City Tree Removal form. • After receipt of the application, a Tree Inspection Report shall be prepared by the City Arborist to determine if the tree(s) meets the criteria for consideration for removal as outlined in the above Section III (Standard City Trees). The City Arborist shall determine whether in his/her judgment additional specific mitigation can be initiated to retain the tree provided the costs are reasonable. • Once a recommendation is made by the City Arborist to the Landscape Manager, or designee, and the Manager agrees with the recommendation, the City may remove the tree(s). The authority to remove Standard Trees rests with the Landscape Manager. • Staff is responsible for providing advance written notification, as applicable, to the adjacent property owner, the legally established homeowners association, and the Councilperson of the district where the removal is proposed of the intent to remove or retain a Standard Tree. • Except for those trees categorized as Item C (dead, diseased, or dying trees) or Item F (claims and safety issues) in Section III (Standard City Trees), all Standard Tree removal(s) shall be posted with a minimum 8" x 5" placard at least 14 calendar days prior to the scheduled removal. The placard shall also note a Staff contact number and a date on which it was posted. Unless deemed an emergency, posting for the dead, diseased, or hazardous trees shall be at least 72-hours prior to the scheduled removal. 16-145 Any appeal to the Commission regarding a tree decision must be received by the Public Works Deputy Director no later than 14 calendar days following the date of posting or notice of intent. The Public Works Deputy Director will delay any tree removals until the appeal period has expired or until the Commission has acted upon an appeal. The City will replace all trees removed in accordance with the Standard Trees removal criteria on a one for one basis. Replacement trees will be a minimum of a 36" boxed size. If 36" boxed trees are not available, or funding or space constraints prevent planting of a 36-inch box tree, then the largest tree available for the space available will be planted. If resident/applicant desires to upgrade to a 48-inch boxed tree or larger, the resident/applicant will be responsible for the difference in price. The full costs of removal and replacement of a Standard Tree(s) will be the sole responsibility of the City, unless an applicant voluntarily pays for a new tree(s) or desires to upgrade to box size larger than 36-inch planted as a replacement, then the applicant will be responsible for the difference in price. V. REFORESTATION OF CITY TREES A. Description of Reforestation Reforestation is defined as the concept of systematically replacing Problem or Standard Trees which are creating hardscape and/or view problems and cannot be properly trimmed, pruned or modified to alleviate the problem(s) they create; or those which have reached their full life and are declining in health; or are simply the wrong species of trees for the planted location. It is recognized and acknowledged that many City trees were planted years ago and in some cases were planted with specific species that when fully mature cause damage to curb, gutter, sidewalk, or underground utilities. Within the geographical boundaries of certain view neighborhoods, City street trees may encroach into blue water views from public and private property depending on the length of time since the trees were last trimmed, or the age and height of the trees. In other cases, the wrong species of tree was planted originally and simply does not conform to the current treescape or may represent a safety hazard. The City Street Tree Designation List and the City Parkway Tree Designation List attached to City Council Policy G-6 reflect an effort by the City to designate appropriate tree species that will not cause future problems. The City understands the importance of trees and the beauty they bring to a community, and desires to continually improve the urban forest through reforestation. In areas where City trees have been removed through City initiation, the City will endeavor to replace the trees one for one with the appropriate street tree. 16-146 B. Application for Reforestation Reforestation requests shall be made by submitting an application to the Landscape Manager for consideration by the Commission. Requests shall comply with the following requirements: • The proposed area must have clearly defined contiguous geographical boundaries that include the tree(s) proposed for removal and replacement, street address(es), block number(s), or other geographical information. • Submission of a petition signed by the owners of a minimum of 60% of the properties within a radius of 500 feet from the location of the proposed reforestation. The petition content must be approved and dated by City staff prior to distribution by the petitioner. Signatures by non -property owners shall be invalid and only one signature per property shall be counted towards the 60% threshold. The 60% threshold is based on the number of properties, not the number of property owners. All petition signatures shall be verified by City staff for property owner status of the person(s) signing the petition. • Private property owners who are mandatory members of a homeowners association must submit reforestation requests through their association. The request shall include a resolution of the Board of Directors formally requesting a reforestation with a statement that all members of the homeowners association have been officially notified and given an appropriate opportunity to respond before the Board voted on the request. The homeowners association is responsible for notification of the outcome of the Board's vote to all association members, pursuant to their established procedure. • The requestor agrees, in writing, to pay 100% of the costs of the removal and replacement of the public tree(s) in advance of any removal activity. The actual removal and replacement work will be performed by a City contractor coordinated by the Public Works Department, Municipal Operations Division. The total costs for removal and replacement work shall include only the contractor's costs and be paid in advance of any removal actions. C. Action Upon Application • Petitions that are submitted more than 90 days past the date stamped by staff before distribution shall be invalid and the request shall not be forwarded to the Commission for consideration. The Landscape Manager may extend this timeframe at his or her discretion. 16-147 City staff shall post the tree(s) proposed for reforestation with an 8" x 5" placard at least 14 calendar days prior to the scheduled Commission meeting. The placard will include the date it was posted, the date, time and location of the Commission meeting and a City contact number. For requests from a homeowners association: City staff shall notify private property owners within a 500-foot radius of the tree(s) requested for reforestation via postcard at least 14 calendar days prior to the Commission meeting. The postcard will include the date, time and location of the Commission meeting and a City contact number. In hearing reforestation requests, the Commission may consider any and all relevant circumstances, including but not limited to the following: o Health or overall condition of the tree(s) o Degree of verifiable public or private property damage from the tree(s) o Degree of verifiable view impairment from the tree(s) o If the tree species is a Problem City Tree (Section II) o The level of community support and/or opposition o The value of the existing tree(s) versus the value of the replacement tree(s) o Whether the tree species is inappropriate for the location or does not conform to the current treescape o Efforts made to ensure adequate notification The decision of the Commission shall be final unless called up by a Councilmember. D. Reforestation Work The replacement tree(s) shall be an appropriate tree(s) that meets the criteria of the City's Street Tree Designation List or the City Parkway Tree Designation List as identified in City Council Policy G-6, or the requestor must obtain approval from the Commission of the designation of a different tree species other than the designated street tree, or an appropriate species based on the City Tree Designation Lists. There shall be a minimum of a one -for -one replacement of all trees. Replacement trees shall be a minimum size of 36-inch boxed trees, unless the parkway space will not accommodate a 36-inch boxed tree or a tree cannot be planted due to planting restrictions contained in City Council Policy G-6. Per the Landscape Manager's discretion, a larger sized box tree may be planted if it is replacing a tree of significant size or value in the City's inventory and ample planting space is available. If there is not room for the replacement tree(s) at a specific site as designated by City Council Policy G-6, then the replacement tree(s) shall be planted in a public area in the same neighborhood at the option of the requestor. 16-148 • The requestor shall be responsible for the watering and fertilizing of replacement trees to ensure their proper growth and development as outlined in City Council Policy G-6. Section 13.09.030 of the Municipal Code also requires property owners to water and fertilize parkway trees adjacent to their property. VI. TREE MAINTENANCE The City will endeavor to fund the care of the Urban Forest to the highest level possible through the efficient use of regular tree trimming, root pruning, root barrier and pesticide programs in accordance with City Council Policy G-6. Section 13.08.040 of the Municipal Code prohibits any person from tampering with City trees. VII. ENCROACHMENT AND DEMOLITION PERMITS All encroachment permits (permits for private property development which are proposed to install improvements in the City right of way) or demolition permits that involve the removal or replacement of City tree(s) must be specifically noticed by the property owner to City staff prior to the building and/or demolition permit process whenever possible. The proposed construction plans must indicate preservation of existing City trees wherever possible (except trees that are dead, dying, or in an advanced state of decline). If the proposed development requires the removal of City trees (that are not dead, dying or in decline), the property owner must submit a tree removal form to the Landscape Manager, pay for all related tree removal and one -for -one replacement costs, and meet all provisions of City Council Policies L-2 and L-6 and City Municipal Code Sections 13.08 and 13.09, or any successor policies or sections. Approval or disapproval of all tree removal/ replacement requests associated with encroachment and demolition permits will be the responsibility of the Public Works Deputy Director or a designee. VIII. TREE TRIMMING STANDARDS The City Council has adopted tree trimming cycles for trees of different ages and species. Tree trimming cycles and trimming standards shall represent the maximum feasible frequency given current fiscal conditions. Except as provided in the Supplemental Trimming Section below, trimming shall be in accordance with the standards of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). In those communities with a homeowners association, periodic tree trimming with an emphasis on crown reduction or vista trimming will be considered by the City Arborist upon written request by the association. 16-149 IX. SUPPLEMENTAL TREE TRIMMING The City will consider requests to trim certain trees more frequently or to trim trees consistent with practices applied prior to the adoption of ISA standards (to enhance public and private views, preserve required sight/distance standards, or other public purposes) which are submitted by affected private property owners or the board of a homeowners association and the request is accompanied by a completed "Supplemental Tree Trimming Form" and full payment for the requested tree trimming. However, since these practices often require 'topping' or possible disfiguring of a tree(s) and are often aesthetically displeasing and injurious to a tree, reforestation shall be considered when supplemental tree trimming is impractical or infeasible as determined by the City Arborist.
