NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach resolves as
follows..
Section 1: The City Council has considered the recommendation of the

Council, if any, are not major changes that require referral back to the Planning
Commission for consideration and recommendation.
Section 2: The City Council hereby approves the Affordable Housing
Implementation Plan and Water Supply Assessment, which are attached hereto as
Exhibits "B" and "C," respectively, and incorporated by reference.
Resolution No. 2025-19
Page 4 of 9
Section 3: The Affordable Housing Implementation Plan was prepared by CAA
Planning, Inc. dated April, 2025, for the Project to outline its affordable housing benefits
and performance requirements. The AHIP is consistent with the City's housing goals
identified in the adopted and certified General Plan Housing Element for the following
reasons:
1. The Applicant has committed to assisting the City in the provision of additional
affordable housing opportunities. The location, type, affordability level, design,
and other details will be determined in the future as part of a site -specific
project review. The AHIP is attached as Exhibit "B" to this resolution. Pursuant
to the AHIP, the Applicant will be responsible for obtaining building permits for
a minimum of 105 affordable dwelling units within a specified timeframe. If the
dwelling units are not permitted by the identified date, then alternatives have
been provided to dedicate land to the City for the future construction of
affordable housing or to provide payment of in -lieu fees based on the number
of market rate units constructed as part of the Project.
2. The AHIP has been prepared consistent with the provisions of Section
20.52.015 (Affordable Housing Implementation Plan) of the NBMC.
Section 4: A WSA has been prepared by Fuscoe Engineering, Inc. dated
January 14, 2025, for the Project to evaluate the water supply availability pursuant to
Senate Bill No. 610 adopted in 2011 and codified in Section 21151.9 of the California
Public Resources Code, and Section 10910 et seq. of the California Water Code and as
contemplated in the City's Housing Implementation Program Final Program EIR. The
WSA is attached hereto as Exhibit "C." The WSA conforms to the applicable requirements
and is acceptable for the following reasons:
1. The WSA evaluates whether the total projected water supply, determined to
be available by the City for the Project during normal, single dry, and multiple
dry water years during a 20-year projection, will meet the projected water
demand associated with the Project, in addition to existing and planned future
uses, including agricultural and manufacturing uses.
2. The WSA identifies all existing water supply entitlements, water rights, or water
service contracts relevant to the water supply for the Project and describes the
quantities of water received in prior years by the existing water supply
entitlements, water rights, or water service contracts.
Resolution No. 2025-19
Page 5 of 9
3. The Utilities Department has reviewed the WSA and found it to be acceptable.
Based on the facts and analysis contained in the WSA, adequate and reliable
water supplies are and will be available to serve the Project for the next 20
years.
Section 5: The City Council finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA
determinations and approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In
addition, project opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As
project applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that
such applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial
challenge, and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which
may be awarded to a successful challenger.
Section 6: The recitals provided in this resolution are true and correct and are
incorporated into the operative part of this resolution.
Section 7: 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 8: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") as set
forth in California Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. and its implementing
guidelines set forth in California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3
("CEQA Guidelines"), the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-50 on July 23, 2024,
certifying Final Program Environmental Impact Report SCH No. 2023060699 ("PEIR"),
approving a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ("MMRP"), and adopting
Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations related to the implementation of
the Housing Element involving amendments to the General Plan, Coastal Land Use Plan,
and Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) and Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation
Plan) of the NBMC which is attached hereto as Exhibit "D," and incorporated herein by
reference.
Resolution No. 2025-19
Page 6 of 9
1. The Project is not subject to further environmental review pursuant to Section
21083.3 of the PRC and Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines because,
inasmuch as the Properties involved are all within the HO-4 Subarea, the
Project does not change the underlying land use or zoning designations; and
would not result in new significant impacts or a substantial more adverse
impact than addressed in the PEIR.
2. Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines provides, in relevant part:
a. Projects which are consistent with the development density established
by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which
an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review,
except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project -
specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.
This streamlines the review of such projects and reduces the need to
prepare repetitive environmental studies.
b. In approving a project meeting the requirements of this section, a public
agency shall limit its examination of environmental effects to those
which the agency determines, in an initial study or other analysis:
Are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project
would be located;
ii. Were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the
zoning action, general plan, or community plan, with which the
project is consistent;
iii. Are potentially significant off -site impacts and cumulative
impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for
the general plan, community plan or zoning action; or
iv. Are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of
substantial new information which was not known at the time the
EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe
adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR.
Resolution No. 2025-19
Page 7 of 9
C. If an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the project, has been
addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially
mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies
or standards, as contemplated by subdivision (e) below, then an
additional EIR need not be prepared for the project solely on the basis
of that impact.
d. This section shall apply only to projects which meet the following
conditions:
The project is consistent with:
A. A community plan adopted as part of a general plan;
B. A zoning action which zoned or designated the parcel on
which the project would be located to accommodate a
particular density of development; or
C. A general plan of a local agency; and
ii. An EIR was certified by the lead agency for the zoning action,
the community plan, or the general plan.
3. As part of its decision -making process, the City is required to review and
consider whether the Project would create new significant impacts or
significant impacts that would be substantially more severe than those
disclosed in the PEIR. Additional CEQA review is only triggered if the Project's
new significant impacts or impacts that are more severe than those disclosed
in PEIR such that major revisions to the PEIR would be required. A detailed
consistency analysis has been prepared by T & B Planning Inc., dated April
2025, and peer reviewed by Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc. The CEQA
consistency analysis is attached hereto as Exhibit "E" and hereby incorporated
by reference.
4. The PEIR contemplated those future projects meeting the thresholds of
Senate Bill No. 610 ("SB 610") would require the preparation of a WSA. As
evidence of the Project's compliance with the PEIR and Section 15183 of the
CEQA Guidelines, a WSA has been prepared for the Project. Although the
PEIR concluded that there would be a potentially significant and unavoidable
impact related to water supply for which the City adopted a Statement of
Overriding Considerations, the Project specific WSA concluded that adequate
Resolution No. 2025-19
Page 8 of 9
and reliable water supplies are and will be available to serve units that are
developed through this Project for at least the next 20 years.
5. Although the Project includes a zoning amendment to change the designation
of 100 and 190 Newport Center Drive from the Office -Regional (OR) Zoning
District to the PC-56 Zoning District, these properties were already identified
in the HO-4 Subarea of the Housing Overlay, which would not change as part
of the Project. Therefore, the analysis contained in the PEIR would remain
applicable to those two sites and the Project would be consistent with the
existing zoning that allows 20 to 50 dwelling units per acre of residential
development.
6. The Project is consistent with the development density and use characteristics
established by the City's General Plan Housing Implementation Program as
analyzed by the PEIR, and the required determinations can be made.
Therefore, in accordance with Section 21083.3 of the PRC and Section 15183
of the CEQA Guidelines, no additional environmental review is required to
approve the Project. The City Council determines:
a. The Project is consistent with the development density of 20 to 50
dwelling units per acre established by existing zoning and general plan
policies for which the PEIR was certified;
b. There are no significant environmental effects that are peculiar to the
Project or the parcels on which the Project would be located;
C. There are no significant environmental effects of the Project that were
not analyzed as significant effects in the PEIR;
d. There are no potentially significant off -site impacts or cumulative
impacts which were not discussed in the PEIR; and
e. There are no previously identified significant effects which, as a result
of substantial new information which was not known at the time the
PEIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse
impact than discussed in the prior PEIR.

Affordable Housing Implementation Plan
I. Introduction
The North Newport Center Planned Community (Planned Community) approval by the City of
Newport Beach includes a Planned Community Development Plan that implements the goals and
policies of the City's General Plan. The Planned Community, as shown on Exhibit 1, consists of seven
sub -areas within North Newport Center, a regional center comprised of major retail, professional
office, entertainment, recreation, hotel, and residential development.
Block 500, Block 600, and San Joaquin Plaza are designated in the General Plan as MU-H3, a
designation that allows for a mixed -use area combining commercial, office, entertainment, and
residential uses. A total of 1,500 residential units may be developed on the Housing Opportunity Sites
as identified in Newport Beach Municipal Code Sections 20.80.025 (Housing Opportunity Overlay
Zoning Districts maps) and 20.28.050 (Housing Opportunity (HO) Overlay Zoning Districts) including
Fashion Island, Block 100, Block 400, Block 600 and San Joaquin Plaza. The City has not adopted an
inclusionary housing policy. However, the City is encouraging new residential development projects
to provide affordable housing. This Affordable Housing Implementation Plan (AHIP) outlines how
affordable housing will be provided relative to the 1,500 new residential units allowed in the Planned
Community.
Background
On September 13, 2022, the Newport Beach City Council adopted the 6th Cycle Housing Element for
the 2021-2029 planning cycle in response to the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
allocation. The Housing Element identifies moderate income households as those with annual incomes
between 8 1 % and 120% of the County median household income. Low-income households are those
with annual incomes between 51 % and 80% of the County median household income. Very -low
income households are those with annual incomes between 31% and 50% of the County median
household income. Extremely low-income households are those with annual incomes of 30% or less
of the County median household income. While the Housing Element does not require an AHIP, this
document has been prepared to outline how the development will meet the City's affordable housing
goal.
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) prepares the state -mandated RHNA.
The RHNA quantifies the need for housing within each jurisdiction during specified planning periods.
The City's General Plan Housing Element must include its "fair share" regional housing needs
allocation for all income groups which must be updated periodically. The most recently published
SCAG RHNA identifies the City allocation as follows:
• Total allocation between 10/15/2021 and 10/15/2029 — 4,845 units
• Very -low income allocation — 30% (1,456 units)
• Low-income allocation —19% (930 units)
• Moderate -income allocation — 22% (1,050 units)

Affordable Housing Implementation Plan
II. Affordable Housing Plan
Proposed Plan
This Affordable Housing Implementation Plan includes the following plan.
A. Construction of New Affordable Housing Units
The Irvine Company owns property within Newport Beach that would allow for the development of
new affordable housing. Irvine Company proposes to identify an appropriate site for the development
of affordable housing and to develop a new affordable housing project. Due to land costs, the location
may be located outside of Newport Center.
The units must be sold or rented to households qualifying as very -low or low-income households. The
annualized rents chargeable for occupancy of the Affordable Units shall not exceed thirty percent
(30%) of the Very -Low or Low- income limits. The restriction on these units — for example, tenant
selection procedures, monitoring — will be included in an affordable housing agreement, which shall
be submitted for review and approval by the City Attorney and recorded against the property(ies).
B. Dedication of Property to the City
If Irvine Company is unable to construct new affordable housing units as described in Section II.A
above and in a manner consistent with the Implementation terms below, Irvine Company shall dedicate
land to the City, which could include land not currently zoned for residential use, for the purpose of
future affordable housing development. The site shall be of adequate size to allow for construction of
at least 105 affordable housing units at an assumed density of 20-50 dwelling units to the acre. The site
shall be free of any restrictions such as easements, covenants, conditions, or other restrictions that
would preclude or make financially infeasible the development of the intended affordable housing
development as determined by the City. The City shall coordinate with Irvine Company regarding
design. Notwithstanding any covenants, conditions or other restrictions, the City shall be the final
review authority regarding design of the building(s) and property.
C. Fee Payment
In the event that construction of new affordable housing units as described in Section II.A above, or
dedication of property as described in Section II.B above, is not possible, Irvine Company shall pay
the City an affordable housing in -lieu fee of $36,690 per market -rate unit constructed. If the City
determines that the conditions in Sections II.A and II.B above cannot be met, the fee for any market -
rate unit that has received a building permit shall be paid to the City within 90 days of said
determination. For any remaining market -rate units to be constructed, the in -lieu fee shall be paid at
the time of building permit issuance.
Number and Type of Affordable Units
The Irvine Company proposes to build new affordable housing units which equate to 7% of new
market -rate housing units built in Newport Center or other areas. Irvine Company shall be permitted
to construct conventional affordable housing or senior affordable housing. Irvine Company shall be
required to build the number of affordable housing units equivalent to 7% of new market -rate
residential units. Irvine Company is contemplating the construction of approximately 1,500 new
market -rate residential units in Newport Center, which would require construction of 105 new
North Newport Center Planned Community
Affordable Housing Implementation Plan
affordable units. If affordable units are provided (or land is dedicated that will accommodate more
affordable housing units) in excess of the 7% requirement, Irvine Company shall be allowed to offset
any future residential development against the excess affordable units provided.
Implementation
The new affordable housing units shall be constructed on a single site and may be implemented in a
single phase or in multiple phases. Irvine Company shall secure the first approved building permit
from the City by January 31, 2029, for the affordable housing units required under this AHIP (Section
II.A), unless the deadline is extended by the Director of Community Development upon mutual consent
of the parties.
Conclusion
Implementation of this AHIP will result in the availability of affordable housing units as identified
above within the City of Newport Beach in accordance with the City's Housing Element.
North Newport Center Planned Community
Affordable Housing Implementation Plan
III. Consistency with Housing Element
The City of Newport Beach adopted a Housing Element Implementation Plan in 2024. A Housing
Element was included in the General Plan in accordance with state law. The Housing Element was
updated in 2022 and amended in 2024. The Housing Element identifies goals and programs for the
provision of affordable housing in the City. The AHIP is intended to meet the specific goals of the
Housing Element as follows:
Housing Goal #3 A variety of housing types, designs, and opportunities for all social and
economic segments.
Housing Policy 3.1 Encourage preservation of existing and provision of new housing
affordable to extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate -income
households.
The AHIP supports the City's requirement for the provision of affordable housing for all new
residential development. The Irvine Company has prepared a Development Agreement in accordance
with this Policy/Program.
Housing Goal #5 Preservation of the City's housing stockfor extremely low-, very low-, low-, and
moderate -income households.
Housing Policy 5.1 Continue or undertake the followingprograms to mitigate potential loss of "at risk"
units due to conversion to market -rate units. These efforts utilize existing City and
local resources. They include efforts to secure additional resources from public and
private sectors should they become available.
The affordable housing provided per the AHIP will increase the City's affordable housing stock. The
units will be deed -restricted to remain affordable for a period of 55 years. In addition, the developer
will provide periodic reports in the form required by the City. The provision of the affordable housing units
will assist the City in meeting Housing Element Goal # 1: Provision of adequate sites to accommodate projected
housing unit growth needs identified by the 2021-2029 RHNA.
