Background On September 26, 1986, the City Clerk received an appeal of the Planning Com- mission decision to approve a Traffic Study and amended Use Permit for the Hoag Memorial Hospital Cancer Center from the Villa Balboa Community Association. Analysis The applicant, Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, is requesting these approvals in order to construct a three-story, 45,000 sq.ft. cancer center with a related 5,000 sq.ft. covered walkway system and open parking areas on the site commonly known as CalTrans East near the existing Hoag Hospital parking structure. Attached for the information of the City Council is an excerpt of the Planning Commission minutes of September 4, 1986, and a copy of the Planning Commission staff report which describes the applicant's request. TO: City Council - 8. In making its appeal to the City Council, the Villa Balboa Community Associa- tion made a number of statements regarding availability of information, a judgment and agreement for a bicycle trail and the consistency of a conceptual land use plan for the entire CalTrans East site with the Newport Beach General Plan. These issues are addressed in this staff report. Additionally, staff has become aware of an error made in the original staff report in regards to the existing land use designation of the subject property in the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The General Plan designation is discussed and clarified. Villa Balboa Community Association Comments The Homeowners Association alleges in its letter of appeal that copies of the Negative Declaration were not available when requested by the Association. This statement is false. Copies of the Negative Declaration with the support- ing Initial Study were and are available to persons upon request. Planning Department records indicate that two copies of the Initial Study were given to Mr. Kim Lombard, who represented himself to City staff as the chairman of a committee established by the Villa Balboa Homeowners Association to review the project. A number of persons came to the Planning Department to review the file and the development plans. Many of these persons requested copies of the plans. The Planning Department does not receive project plans for distribution to members of the general public. These people were referred to the developer to obtain copies of the plans. The letter submitted by the Homeowners Association discusses an agreement and recorded judgment pertaining to the development of Versailles -on -the -Bluff and Villa Balboa which includes the provisions and agreements for the bicycle trail and access easement which exist on the southerly edge of Villa Balboa adjacent to the subject property. The Planning Commission, in making the decision on the approval of the Use Permit, considered the public access easement and bicycle trail. Specific Conditions of Approval were attached to the approval of the project which require the applicant to conduct a bicycle trail study to evaluate the possibility of a connection from the Villa Balboa trail to Coast Highway. The construction of the bicycle trail connection is required to be constructed by the applicant. In applying this Condition of Approval, the Planning Commission is connecting the bicycle trail easement on Villa Balboa to Coast Highway. This is considered a benefit to the community at large in the City of Newport Beach. Discussion is included in regards to a Conceptual Land Use Plan provided by Hoag Hospital in the submittal package to the City. This plan was provided at the request of staff in order that overall site circulation could be assessed in order to assure that the approval of the cancer center project would not limit future on -site circulation. The conceptual land use plan was approved by the Planning Commission. The possible future project is not under considera- tion at this time, and its conformance with the City's General Plan and Local Coastal Program is not at question in this application. Conformance of the Project with the Newport Beach General Plan and the Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan The staff report prepared for the Planning Commission indicates that the prop- erty in question is designated for "Recreational and Environmental Open Space" TO: City Council - 9. in the Newport Beach General Plan and the Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan, with the provision in the LCP that the site can be used for the expansion of Hoag Hospital facilities on site. The staff report was in error. On February 11, 1985, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 85-7, approving amendments to the Recreation and Open Space Element of the Newport Beach General Plan. Concurrent with this action, the City Council approved a series of General Plan Land Use Element and Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan, amendments to assure internal consistency of the General Plan and LCP elements. As part of this action, the land use designation of the CalTrans East parcel was amended from the "Recreational and Environmental Open Space" category to "Governmental, Educational and Institutional Facilities." The project in question is consistent with this designation. Respectfully submitted, PLANNING DEPARTMENT JAMES D.

Unclassified Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, Newport Beach Same as applicant The public hear ing wa s opened in connection with this item, and Mr. Michael Stephens , President of Hoag Me morial Hospital Presbyterian, appeared before the Planning Commission . Mr. Stephens explained that the cancer program is one of the most active and vital p rograms at the hospital, and the space allocated to the cancer center has not been increased since 1974 . He said that statistics indicate that the activity has grown to the point that the need has exceeded the capacity. -41- INDEX Item No.13 UP1421A TS Approved .~VMM1::;::;1UN 11:.H:::> ROL l CALL MINUTt:.~ September 4, 1986 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ' Mr. Stephens stated that every effort has been made to accommodate the expan3ion of the program; however, there is not enough space to provide patient treatment wi thin the hospital. He further stated that the 23 acr e Cal Trans parcel on West Coast Highway is the proposed site of the cancer center , and was purchased by the hospital three years ago. Mr . Stephens comme nted that the land was purchased with the idea that it would provide the hospital with the flexibility and space that they do not have at the current location. He explained that if the hospital had to e xpand at the current location that a structure seven or eight stories would be necessary for economic reasons . In re sponse to concerns previously submitted by adjacent neighbors, Mr. Stephens replied that the parcel is the only adjacent site the hospital has, that the plan will have to service the area for the duration of t he hospital's existence, and that the development will have to be on a planned basis over a considerable period of time. Mr. Stephens stated that the master plan has not been completed. He said that the hospital has been considerate of the adjacent neighbo rhood, and the impact that the proposed development would have on the neighbors. Robert Shapiro, M. D., Acting Director of Radiation Therapy , appeared before the Planning Commission. Dr. Shapiro explained how important the cancer center will be t o the treatment of cancer, the need to centralize the cancer care center on behalf of the cancer patient; and the importance and the mechanics of current radiation equ i p ment . Mr. Phillip R. Schwartze, Vice President, Phillips Brandt Reddick, Planning Consul tan ts, appeared before the Plann ing Commission and presented a slide presentation of the proposed project. Mr. Schwartz de sc ribed the view analysis and the view impact that the proposed project would have on the surrounding neighborhood . He explained how the proposed project wo uld be built into the bluff area to protect views; the pedestrian link between the current hospital structure to the proposed project; the service area from the exi sting parking structure; the utilization of the three floors of the proposed structure; the grading and slope area of the proposed structur8; relocation of the elevator tower and elevation; and the landscaping. Mr. Schwartze also referred to the scale model that was on display. -42- INDEX 1/ RO' CALL MINUTES September 4, 1986 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Dr. Shapiro reappeared before the Planning Commission and introduced Mr . Ron Langseth, a former cancer patient of Dr. Shapiro. Mr. Langseth appeared before the Planning Commission and he explained the importance of the proposed cancer center from a patient's point of view, and he commented that the patient would benefit if the treatment would be entirely under one roof and also from convenient parking. Mrs. Laraine Eggleston appeared before the Planning Commission on behalf of the Sandpipers, a Community Support Group for Hoag Cancer Center . Mrs. Eggleston e xplained the need for the improvement of cancer treatme nt and she said that the Sandpipers have committed to raise $500,000.00 within the next three to fi ve years, wh ich would encourage other support groups and individuals in the area to provide the needed funds fo r the completion of the center. Mr. Michael Stephens reappeared before the Planning Commission and concluded the presentation by s ummarizing the aforementioned testimonies. Mr. Stephens stated that he concurs with the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A ". Mrs. Clara Laidlaw, 240 Nice Lane, President of Villa Balboa Homeowner s Association, appeared before the Pla nning Commission on behalf of the Homeowners Association. Mr s . Laidlaw stated that the foremost c oncern of the homeowners is the view impairment, and she s aid that further concerns are: if the connector link could be underground instead of above the ground; the service road could be lowered; and consideration of another location for the proposed center. Mrs. Laidlaw stated that the General Plan adopted by the City indicated that the 22 acre site would remain as open space, and t hat the Coastal Commission submitted a report indicating open space. She asked for a clarification to the staff report which reads "that this project is considered consistent with the General Plan ". Patricia Temple , Environmental Coordinator, responded to Mrs. Laidlaw's testimony , and stated that the staff did not do any specific analysis of the view impacts related to the service road and parking on the bluff. She said that staff's concern was the blockage of bay and ocean views, and not encroachments into the "view shed ". In reference to the General Plan consistency, -43- INDEX -COMMISSIONE RS CALL MINUTES September 4, 1986 Ms . Templ e stated that the City adopted and the Coastal Commission certified the Local Coastal Program is considered to be the City's most current General Plan within the Coastal zoue. She said that the Land Use Plan designates the Hoag Hospital site as recreational and environmental open spac::e but there is a specific provision with in the designation which allows for the expansion of Hoag Hospital facilities on the site. Ms. Temple further stated that staff indicated that the project wa s consistent with the General Plan, and also that in the event that Hoag Hospital pursued a master site deve lopment plan that a General Plan Amendment will be r equired . In response to the concern regarding another site location for the cancer center, Ms. Temple replied that staff did not do an additional analysis; however, Hoag Hospital did an analysis and they indicated that it was nece ssary to have a direct link to the existing campus, and she e x plained why the cancer center was located into the slope area so that Villa Balboa units would not have a v iew obstruction. In response to a question posed by Chairman Turner , Ms. Temple replied that the service road and the small amount of parking would be between the cancer center and Villa Balboa . Discussion followed between Commissioner Kur lander , Chairman Turner, and Ms . Temple regarding lowering the access road. In respon se to questions posed b y Chairman Turner and Mr. Hewicker, Mr. Phillip Schwartz e reappeared before the Planning Commission and he explaine d why the inte r-link be t ween the cancer center and the hospital would be convenient for the in-patient and the ou t-patie nt. In respon se to a question posed by Commissioner Person regardi ng the legal responsibility of the Planning Cornnission granting or denying a discretionary approval as it relates to the protection of private views, Ms. Korade replied that the Planning Commission can consider private views under certain circumstances, and that in the standard use permit the private views can be considered b ut are not a controlling factor in reaching a decision. Mr. Tim Lombard, 280 Cagney Lane, #105, appeared before the Planning Commission on behalf of the Villa Balboa -44- INDEX I? .(;UMMISSIONt.RS ROI I CALL MINUTES September 4, 198 6 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Homeowners Association. Mr. Lombard requested that the application be continued so that the Villa Balboa Homeowners Association may evaluate what impact the cancer center will have to the surrounding neighborhood. He said that representatives of Hoag Hospital have met with the homeowners, that the repre sentatives were interested in their opinions and that changes were made to the original design. Mr. Lombard commented that 700 questionnaires have been mailed to Villa Balboa homeowners, Versaille homeowners and tenants, and that there has not been enough time to receive all of the replies. He said that 45 responses have indicated concerns regarding the environmental imp act ; opposition to the cancer center as it is currently planned; decrease in property values; and they request for legal counsel regarding the affect the development would have to their property. Mr. Lombard stated that his concern is what affect Hoag Ho s pital's proposed General Plan will have on the surrounding community. In respon se to questions posed by Chairman Turner, Mr. Lombard replied that there has not been enough time to make recommendations for change, and that the entire 22 acre p arcel should be studied instead of the subject project site . Chairman Turner commented that previous testimony has stated that no long range projections have been made by the applicants. He further stated that 550,000 square feet wou ld be roughly twice the size that Hoag Hospital currently is which would be a tremendous amount of growth , and that Hoag Hospital probably is not ready to build out at this time. Mr. Lombard rebutted that the applicants have prepared a design, ann that the public should be given information and additional time. In response to a question posed by Chairman Turner, Mr. Lomb ard replied that the Villa Balboa Homeowners Association is requesting a continuation of thirty days. Mr. Paul Butler, 280 Cagney Lane, No. 110, appeared before the Planning Commission in opposition to the app licat ion on the subject site. Mr. Butler's pre sentation was regarding a newspaper article regarding the Newport -Inglewood Earthquake fault and the impact that an earthquake would have on the subject bluff site; City of Newport Beach Resolution No. 84-49 a dopted by the City Council on March 10, 1975, -45- INDEX COMMISS IONERS ROI ~ALL MINUTES September 4, 1986 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH regarding gee-technical hazards within the City; the Coastal Commission identifying environmental sensitive areas including the coastal bluffs; that the subject application does not conform to the setback requirement; that 170 feet of bluff would be removed; that the cancer center be relocated to another site; that the Coastal Commission has requested no change in land use; a nd that gas seepage and pressure is increasing in the subject area. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Winburn, Mr. Butler replied that his wife has owned the Villa Balboa residence since the development was completed, and that the proposed project will block their v iew of the turning basin; however, their concern is that the building could slide down the hill if there would be a large earthquake. In response to Mr. Butler's concerns, Ms. Temple replied that the subject site by definition is not a bluff, but that the site is an engineered cut slope and that the Coastal Commission recognizes the site as a slope. Ms. Temple stated that the State of California has conducted studies regarding the West Newport area and that there was a determination that the faults in the West Newport area have not experienced any earthquake movement for the past 10,000 years. In reference to the Public Safety Element, Ms. Temple stated that the slope is greater than 25 percent and is not considered a hazardous area. Chairman Turner stated that the State of California proces ses hospital Building Permits, and that the subject appl ication would probably also be processed by the State . Ms. Lynn Smith , 950 Cagney Lane, appeared before the Planning Commission. Ms. Smith stated her concern that the Homeowners Association has not been given adequate time to analyze the proposed project; that Hoag Hospital has been allowed to "bootstrap" the General Plan by starting with the cancer center; why was Hoag Hosp i tal permitted to develop on a site prior to owning the property ; that the west side of Superior Avenue is considered a natural bluff, and recreational and open space area; the legal interpretation of bluff; that the projec t is not consistent with the General Plan; and why the Coastal Commission does not require a General Plan Amendm ent for the cancer center. Ms. Smith emphasized the concern that she has regarding the bluff site. -46- INDEX . COMMISSIO NERS IW'III._...,, I.,_~ ~~}\ CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH September 4, 1986 'LL Ms. Temple responded that the Local Coastal Program designation shows that the Cal Trans West site, westerly of Superior Avenue, as recreational and open space; h owever , that designation has been amended to multi-family residential. Mr. Jerry Scarboro, 280 Cagney Lane, Building No. 5, appeared before the Planning Commission, and he recommended that the Planning Commission look at the entire 22 acre facility. Mr. Scarboro's presentation stated his concerns and he requested additional studies regarding the service road; the traffic; noise; transportation implications of the total development; and the safety concerns of the service road. Mr . Wayne Lamb, 280 Cagney Lane, appeared before the Planning Commission. Mr. Lamb stated his concern that the Villa Balboa Homeowners Association has not had adequate time to study the proposed project; that the homeowners were of the opinion that the proposed site would remain as an open space area; and suggested that the applicants and homeowners come to a compromise regarding lighting, heights, and subterranean parking. Mr . Phillip Schwartze reappeared before the Planning Commission in response to previous testimony. He replied that no Master Plan for Hoag Hospital exists, that the mod e l plan was prepared when the cancer center was conceived , and that the model was designed as a worse case situation for traffic circulation; that the subject site was determined because the link would minimize the distance between the existing hospital campus and the proposed cancer center; and he explained the results of the geo-technical studies. In response to questions posed by Chairman Turner, Mr. Schwartze responded that the applicants have attempted to acquaint the homeowners with the proposed project, and that he did not know what could be accomplished if the application would be continued. Chairman Turner explained that the homeowners may not be as knowledgeable of architectural design, and he commended the applicants regarding the usage of sticks outlining the proposed project on the subject site. Mr. Dan McGregor, 106 Cagney Lane, appeared before the Planning Commission, and commented-that his view would be eliminated completely by the proposed project. His concerns are regarding the lowering of the passenger link to the cancer center; that Villa Balboa homeowners -47- INDEX .LL IW'III ...... I_._, September 4, 1986 I CI T Y OF NEWPORT BEACH will experience depreciation in their property values; what affect an earthquake would have to Villa Balboa because the slope wquld be cut into; that the homeowners should be aware of Hoag Hospital's future development; and that he was requesting a continuation of thirty days. The Planning Commission recessed at 11:35 p.m. and reconvened at 11:43 p.m. Mr. Phillip Schwartze reappeared before the Planning Commission, and in reference to concerns regarding earthquakes, he explained that professional agencies that would be involved in the approval of the geo-technical study before the facility could be constructed. Mr. Schwartze stated that the applicants would be happy to work with interested homeowners during the public hearing process. Mr. W. W. Horningstar, 240 Nice Lane, appeared before the Planning Commission and stated his concerns that when he purchased his property that the subject site would remain as open space; that the long range General Plan for Hoag Hospital would consist of approximately 600,000 square feet including 12 buildings; that the service road would service all of the buildings from the third floor because it would not be aesthetically pleasing for the patients; that the impact of the proposed development should be studied and considered and what affect the proposed project will have on the residents of the surrounding residences; he referred to Finding No. 9 stating "that the use permit will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort, and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the City", and he rebutted that the project would be injurious to the welfare, that the project would be detrimental to property values, traffic and noise; and he commented that the City required an easement for a bicycle trail before Villa Balboa was developed. Mrs. Cordelia Ramsay Butler, 280 Cagney Lane, Building No. 5, No. 110, appeared before the Planning Commission, and requested that the cancer center not be developed on the proposed site because there would be a -48- INDEX C o·M MI S S I ONERS ALL IWll 1•...., I ._._,, September 4, 1986 property depreciation for many of the residents. In response to a question posed by Chairman Turner regarding where the cancer center could be relocated, Mrs. Butler suggested the hospital's current parking area, and that the parking could go underground. She further commented that the third floor service area will obstruct views. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Person regarding the responsibility of the Planning Commission and the City Council concerning the protection of private views, Mr. Hewicker replied that the position of the City has been that when discussing the issues of view and view preservation, the City is talking about preservation of public and not the preservation of private views from private residences. He explained that the City is talking about preservation of views from public parks, public walkways, public bicycle trails , public streets and highways, and public buildings. In response to a question posed by Commissioner Winburn regarding the preservation of view from the bicycle trail, Mr. Hewicker replied that he is aware that there would be some view obstruction by the elevator penthouse, and that the project has taken into consideration the preservation of views in terms of bringing the roof up to the maximum. Mrs. Butler reappeared before the Planning Commission, and added that there is a concern that hospitals could be developed in residential neighborhoods. Chairman Turn er and Commissioner Person explained that the area i has been zoned for hospital use. Ms. Korade referred to her previous statement regarding private views and she explained that the private views cannot control the grantor denial of the use permit, that the function of the Planning Commission is not to protect private views. Mr . Kim Lombard reappeared before the Planning Commission, and he referred to the Land Use Plan and the view shed, and he stated that much could be accomplished if the homeowners and the applicants could discuss the proposed project. Mr. Tom Matthews, 220 Nice Lane, appeared before the Planning Commission questioning the credibility of Hoag Hospital and the presentations that the applicants have -49- INDEX COM MI SSI ON E RS \LL Motion X September 4, 1986 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH given to the homeowners and the Planning Commission. He said that the hom2owners have had two weeks to review the proposed project and that he would request that the application be continued beyond thirty days. Mr. Matthews was concerned about the loss of property values and the traffic that would be generated by the development. In response to questions posed by Commissioner Koppelman regarding implementation of General Plan Amendment, Ms. Temple replied that the proposed plan is one building, that there is no Master Plan that has been submitted for review to the City. She said that the conceptual plan wa s in order for staff to do some base analysis on on-site circulation and staff would be allowed to do some base line analysis in terms of opportunities and constraints on the public view park that is designated within the recreational and open space element of the General Plan. Ms. Temple explained that the Land Use Plan as exhibited, has no official status, it is only a piece of information upon which the staff felt the Planning Commission could be aided in reaching a decision on the cancer center. She further commented that staff does not know what the exact square footage is, and in no event would the approval of this project lead the City into approving any other amount on the balance of the site. Ms . Temple stated that staff has requested that the Planned Community Plan also be submitted simultaneously so that the actual structural siting can also be reviewed if any further amendment to the Local Coastal Program would be considered by the Planning Commission or City Council. The public hearing was closed at this time. Commissioner Person pointed out that the Villa Balboa residents wi l l have opportunities to attend additional public hearings. Motion was made to approve Use Permit No. 1421 (Amended) and Traffic Study subject to the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A". Commissioner Person explained that the Planning Commission has never been involved in the pure protection of private views, that the subject property is owned by Hoag Hospital, that the con sideration is a 50,000 square foot facility, and that the project is worthwhile. -so- INDEX \LL All Ay es September 4, 1986 Commissioner Koppelman stated that she would support the motion because an effort has been made on the part of the hospital to preserve views, the hospital is an advantage to the entire community, and that the project should not be delayed. Chairman Turner stated that he would support the motion. He pointed out that the current project is 50,000 square feet, and not the 600,000 square feet which would have to come before the Planning Commission and the City Council. Chairman Turner advised the homeowners that there will be further public hearings regarding the subject application. He said that the hospital has tried to be a good neighbor and is a valuable asset to the community. Chairman Turner emphasized the necessity of cancer research and treatment. Commissioner Eichenhofer stated that there is more at issue than views, and that she would support the motion. Commissioner Eichenhofer commented that the residents are concerned about the hospital's long-range plans and she encouraged the residents to attend other public hearings, and she suggested that Hoag Hospital keep the residents informed of further developments. Commissioner Merrill stated that Hoag Hospital cannot pred ict what will be developed in the future because there are constant changes in the manner that care is delivered, the requirements of insurance companies, creating surgical centers, and new technology. Chairman Turner agreed to Commissioner Merrill's statement. Motion v oted on to approve Use Permit No. 1421 (Amended) and Traffic Study subject to the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A".

Acceptance of a Traffic Study and an Environmental Document is also r equested. Use Permit procedures are contained in Chapter 20. 80; Modi fication procedures are in Chapter 20. 81; and Traffic Study procedure s are in Chapter 15.40 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Environmental Significance In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines and City Council Policy K-3, an Initial Study has been prepared for the proposed project. Environmental issues evaluated in the Initial Study are Land Use, Earth Resources, Air Quality, Hydrology /Water Quality, Biological Resources, Noise, Transportation/Circulation, Cultural Resources, Visual/Aesthetics, Public Services and Utilities and other environmental issues. Based upon the information contained in the Initial Study, it has been determined that the proposed project, as mitigated, will not create a significant adverse environmental effect and a Negative Declaration has been prepared. A copy of the Negative Declaration and Initial Study are attached to thi s report for the consideration of the Plan- ning Commission . Conformance with the General Plan and Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan The Land Use Element of the Newport Beach General Plan designates the site for "Recreational and Environmental Open Space" to be used for parking, public recreational and visual-environmental purposes. The Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan carries a similar designation for the site and specifically accommodates the expansion for Hoag Hospital facilities on the site. The proposed project will use approximately 5% of the site , with the balance remaining undeveloped at this time. The project is consistent with the General Plan and Local Coastal Program. Subject Property and Surrounding Land Use The site proposed for development is a small portion of the site commonly known as "CalTrans East." The site is currently vacant with the exception of a parking lot wh ich is not in use at this time, and a noxious gas recovery and burn-off facility. To the north of the site is the Villa Balboa and Versailles-on-the-Bluff condominium projects and the main campus of Hoag Memorial Hospital. Easterly of the site is the Coast Highway /Newport Boulevard interchange with commercial uses in Mariners' Mile beyond. Southerly of the site, across Coast Highway, are residentia l uses in Balboa Coves. To the west of the site are vacant portions of the CalTrans East site and, beyond Superi- or Avenue , the vacant CalTrans West site. 30 TO: Planning Commission -3. Analysis As previously indicated , the proposed project would allow construction of a cancer treatment facility on a small portion of the CalTrans East site immediately adjacent to the existing Hoag Hospital parking structure . This particular project has been proposed by the hospital at this time in order to allow construction to commence this year if the project is approved. The hospital is currently in the process of developing a Master Site Development plan for the entire CalTrans East s ite. A preliminary concept plan for the entire site was requested by staff for thi s permit in order to allow analysis of opportunities and constraints relative to on-site circulation. This was done to insure that the cancer center siting would not unduly restrain general on-site circulation. A copy of the. Conceptual Site Plan has been attached to the Plans and Elevations of the project for the informa- tion of the Planning Commission. Subsequent to the s ubmittal of the plans and elevations of the Use Permit , representatives of the hospital held a series of meetings with homeowners in the Villa Balboa condominium project. As illustrated in the Initial Study, the project, as submitted, included a covered walkway and elevator penthouse which blocked views of lower Newport Bay from ground-floor units in Building 5 of the Villa Balboa project. In response to concerns e xpressed by residents at these meetings, the project proponent ha s developed several design alternatives to reduce the view impacts of the project. In studying the various alternatives, the applicant has now proposed to revise the original submittal in such a way as to minimize the need for the walkway and penthouse encroachment into the view-shed. The revised plans and view impacts are discussed in detail in later sections of this report. Statistical Summary. No development standards are provided in the Unclassified District.

Analyses were, therefore, completed for En gineer identified ten (10) intersections t he project at full occupancy . 1988. The City Traffic which could be affected by The first step in evaluating intersections is to conduct a 1% Traffic Volume Analysis, taking into consideration existing traffic, regional growth and the traffic of previously committed projects. For any intersection where, on any approach leg , the project traffic is estimated to be greater than 1% of the projected morning and afternoon peak two and one-half hour volume, Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) i s required. Results of the one percent test i ndicate that the project traffic e xceeded 1% of projected traff ic on an approach leg of two inter- sections in the morning a n d two intersections in the afternoon. An ICU Analysis wa s conducted for each of these intersections, with Intersection Capacity Utilization ratios as shown in the following table: Intersection Superior Avenue at: Placentia Avenue Newport Boulevard at: Hospital Road 1988 ICU SUMMARY Existing AM PM 0.52 0.52 0.5 0 0.63 Intersection Capacity Utilization 1988 Exist. 1988 Exist. + Committed + Growth + Improvement AM PM 0 .56 0.54 0.57 0.78 +Committed + Growth + Improve. + Project AM PM 0.56 0.54 0.59 0.80 As illustrated , the projected ICU ratios for the two intersections do not exceed O. 90 in either the morning or afternoon peak hours , and therefore meet the requirements of the Traffic Phasing Ordinance. It should be noted, howe ver, that the ICU ratios presented assume com- pletion of a committed intersection improvement at Newport Boulevard and Hospital Road which has not y et been constructed. When this occurs, it is the standard practice of the City to require the inter- section improvement of all subsequent projects which are dependent on that improvement to achieve an acceptable level of service. As such, the "c ommitted" improvement at Newport Boulevard and Hospital Road is also a condition of this project, and a condition requiring a propor- tional contribution to this improvement has been included. TO: Planning Commission -5. Use Permit No. 1421 (Amended) The property in question is located in the Unclassified District. Development is permitted in the zoning district which is consistent with the General Plan subject to the approval of a use permit in each case. The site is located in the 26/35 Foot Height Limitation Dis- trict. Therefore, the u se of the site and the proposed height of the structure necessitate the use permit. In addition, the provision of parking based upon a demonstrated formula with a portion provided as compact spaces had also been requested. The various issues associated with this application are discussed in this section of the report. Land Use . A Use Permit is required to allow construction of the proposed project in the Unclassified District. Development is allowed in this district so long as the development is consistent with the General Plan. As previously discussed, the project is considered consistent with the General Plan. The cancer facility is a three-level structure providing for diagnos- tic and treatment services for patients. The uses include examination rooms, treatment rooms , waiting areas, reception areas and office support, and offices for physicians associated with the facility. The use proposed is a facility which is ancillary to Hoag Hospital, and generates a relatively low level of traffic. It can, therefore, be served by the existing access roads which serve the hospital and does not require the provision of independent access via West Coast High- way. It was this desire to limit the need for an additional full access point on Coast Highway which led the City to support the concept of the hospital use of the site. The Recreation and Open Space Element and the Circulation Element Master Plan of Bikeways provide for a bluff top secondary bike trail paralleling Coast Highway from Newport Boulevard to Bluff Road (Balboa Boulevard extended). The trail would have a bridge over Superior Avenue. The purpose of this trail is to provide a view of the ocean and bay, and is not considered to be a transportation or commuter link in the system. Villa Balboa has provided a joint bike trail/emergency access road between the Hoag Hospital access road and Superior Avenue. The Master Plan of Bikeways shows a connection from this bike trail/access road to Coast Highway in the vicinity of the ramp to Newport Boulevard. This connection goes through the Hoag site, and when constructed will need to be coordinated with the grading and improvements for the cancer center . There appears to be sufficient space to construct the trail, but to obtain acceptable grades for the trail may require some side hill cuts and retaining structures. An alignment feasibility study has been included as a condition of approval if the application is approved by the Planning Commission. This study will be required prior to the issuance of building or grading permits so that trail construction can be included as a part of the cancer center project. Building Height and Views. During the preliminary staff review of the project, a great deal of attention was given to the potential effects the project may have on views from the Villa Balboa bike trail/access road and from the ocean and bay facing units in Villa Balboa. TO: Planning Commission -6. Detailed view analysis studies were conducted for the proposed project and are included in the Initial Study. Additionally, representatives of Hoag Hospital have held a series of meetings with the residents of Villa Balboa. As a re s ult of these meetings, additional building design alternatives were developed in order that the project have a minimal impact of the public and private views . The original project included a covered walkway system and elevator penthouse whi c h were the highest portions of the structure . While the r oof of the building itself wa s only three to five feet higher than the elevation of the bike trail easement, the walkway and elevator penthouse were 17 feet and 14 feet higher, respectively. These facilities were the only sources of significant view obstructions. The alte rnate building designs studied are included in the Planning Commission packet. The various alternatives revolve around ways to lower the cove r ed walkway one full level, thereby eliminating the need for any walkway encr oachments above the roof elevation. The elevator penthouse will now be only three feet higher than the roof elevation. The hospital ha s , therefore, revised its original proposal to incor- porated the preferred alternative one into the proposed project to mitigate these view impacts. The site is located in the 26/35 Foot Height Limitation District. The proposed structur e reaches a maximum height of 35 feet , which necessi- tates the approva l of a use permit. Section 20 .02.040 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code sets forth specific findings which must be made in order to approve a use permit to exceed the Basic Height Limit, as follows: 20 .02.040 PLANNING COMMISSION OR CITY COUNCIL REVIEW . The Planning Commission or City Council in approving any Planned Comrnuni ty Di strict , any Specific Area Plan , or in approving any use permit for structures in excess of the basic height limit in any zone shall find that each of the following four p oints have been complied with: a. The increased building height would result in more public vi s ual open space and views than is required by the bas ic height limit in any zone . Particular atten- tion s hall be given to the location of the structure on the lot, the percentage of ground cover , and the treatment of all setback and open areas. b. The increased building height would result in a more desirable architectural treatment of the building and a s tronger and more appealing visual character of the area that i s r equired by the basic height limit in any zone . c. The increased building height would not result in any undesirable or abrupt scale relationships being created between the structure and existing developments or public spaces . Particular attention shall be given to 31/ TO: Planning Commission -7. the total bulk of the structure including both horizon- tal and vertical dimensions. d. The structure s hall have no more floor area than could have been achieved without the use permit. (Ord. 1454 § 4 (part) , 1972.) The project involves development of a structure on a very small portion of a 22 acre undeveloped site. As such, the project is of very low overall intensity and is within the level of intensity generally approved by the City. Since approximately 95% of the site is not proposed for development at this time, considerable public visual open space will remain. Staff is aware, however, of the Master Site Development Plan which is forthcoming for the site. Hoag Hospi- tal has provided a preliminary concept plan for the entire site wh.ich enables some assessment of the impact the whole project may have on public open space. Based on the plan, it does not appear that the approval of this use permit will preclude future opportunities for public view parks. The building itself will be built into the graded slope which will minimize the visual bulk of the structure. The three story structure is of a similar height to the Villa Balboa buildings, which are also three story structures. It is the opinion of staff that the criteria to exceed the basic height limit have been met by the project as revised by the applicant. Parking. The applicant has proposed to provide parking based upon a demonstrated formula and to provide a portion of the parking as compact spaces. A parking demand study was prepared by the consulting firm of Basmaciyan-Darnell, Inc. This study has been reviewed by the City Traffic Engineer. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed number of parking spaces will be adequate for the proposed project. The City has consistently allowed compact parking spaces in lots of sufficient size, so long as the total number of compact spaces does not exceed 25%. Conclusion and Recommendation In order to grant any use permit, the Planning Commission must find that the establishment , maintenance or operation of the use or build- ing will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the City. Additionally, specific findings in regards to public visual open space and views, architectural treat- ment, scale relationships and floor area must be made to approve a use permit to exceed the basic height limit. The use proposed for the property meets the criteria of the Traffic Phasing Ordinance. The redesign of the project submitted by the applicant enhances the compliance of the project with the criteria to exceed the basic height limit, and the use is consistent with the General Plan . Staff recommends approval of Use Permit No. 1421 (Amended) and the related Traffic Study. Should the Planning Commission concur with staff, Findings and Conditions for Approval are TO: Planning Commission -8. attached as Exhibit "A". Should the Planning Commission desire to deny the project, Findings for Denial are attached as Exhibit "B". PLANNING DEPARTMENT JAMES D. HEWICKER, Director By /},tu&,,j~,K PATRICIA L.

This building is to be located on the former Caltrans East property adjoining the existing hospital campus and the Villa Balboa service road/fire lane. The purpose of this meeting is to share the design concept of the forthcoming Cancer Center Building and to serve as a forum for your valued input. We realize there have been many concerns expressed over view impairment, construction disruption and overall building impact. Our goal is to alleviate these fears by sharing and reviewing our design intent. This meeting will be held in the Grace Hoag Conference Center on Thursday, August 14, 1986 at 7:00 p.m. Please feel free to call F. w. Evins, Director of Facilities Design and Construction, at 760-5908, if you have any questions. We look forward to meeting with you soon. Sincerely, ~()-~ Michael D.

When we purchased our unit at the 280 building, we were told by the developers that the vacant land directly in front of us was owned by Cal Trans and would always remain as open space, e-xcept for a strip along the highway that could be used for widening the highway. Now it appears that parcel has been sold to Hoag and will be developed. We paid, as undoubtedly you did also, an additional premium for our unit because of the unobstructed bay and ocean view. (Enclosed original price list showing ocean view units and prices.) If Hoag is allowed to proceed with their proposed building it is certain the value of our unit, and yours, will decrease. It is extremely important that we all make every effort to attend the meeting called by Mr. Mike Stevens on August 14 at 7 p.m. at Grace Center, Hoag Hospital, and express our concerns.

The radia tion generated in the treatment of patients is much like that of a standard Xray but with a higher electrical energy force and a more focused point of destination -the cancerous tumor. The radiation generated during treatment is kept within the treatment room with the use of lead-lined walls. When the equipment is turned off, the radiation stops just as it does with a standard Xray machine. The radiation is generated by electricity and therefore there is no radioactive material used o r generated . If you have any questions, we will be happy to try and answer them either before or at the hearings. Please feel free to contact me at 760-2250. Sincerely , t Peter M.

The purpose of this letter is to express my support for this project . Most Newport Beach residents have probably had a personal expe rience with cancer--either themselves or someone in their famil y. In my case, my father died of cancer in 1985. During the illness which preceded his death, he was treated at Hoag Hospital and received excellent care. Today , under less than optimum conditions with respect to physical plant and equipment, Hoag Hospital is providing outstanding care to cancer patients from Newport Beach--a city in which I both live and work and in which I both pay taxes and provide employment to others. The Cancer Center is very important to those of us in Newport Beach if Hoag Hospital is to be able to continue to provide quality care to Newport Beach residents .

I understand that your commission wi 11 be reviewing this plan on September 4. As a resident of Villa Balboa and as an individual whose family has been affected by cancer, I strongly support this new facility. I think it is important that everyone understand the tremendous need for a modern facility to care for and treat those unfortunate people who are struck by this disease. Hopefully the other citizens of Newport will agree that the care and hopefully someday the prevention of cancer are more important than any traffic problems and/or view interruptions that could be generated by this new facility. 3191A Airport Loop Drive.

As you may know, Hoag Hospital presently provides treatment for more cancer patients than any other hospital in Orange County. Recently, the most successful cancer treatment programs have demonstrated the value of concentrating cancer related serv.i.ces in defined "centers." Such centers have produced clear benefits in reducing patient mortality and morbidi~y.

As a physician, I see the creation of this center as a major advantage for cancer patients (by centralizing their care), a convenience for the physicians, and a plumb for the city of Newport Beach which will gain in prestige by having a cancer center here in addition to enhancing the services available to the local community. I hope that the commission will enthusiastically support this endeavor. Cancer remains a leading cause of death and efforts to combat this disease should know no political boundaries.

After seeing several long-time family friends suffer with cancer and the burden of cancer treatment, I believe this new facility will provide a tremendous community service.

Turner Chairman, Planning Commission Members of the Planning Commission City of Newport Beach Planning Department 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, CA 92663 Subject: The Hoag Cancer Center Project Dear Mr. Chairman and Members: ; _\ •. On September 4, 1986, you will review the proposed Hoag Cancer Center project. Because I will be out of town on business and unable to attend the Planning Comm i ssion meeting, I am taking the liberty of writing this letter of support for the proposed project. My wife and I have been residents of the City of Newport Beach for 15 years and for the past 10 years we have lived within walking distance of Hoag Memorial Hospital. In fact, I am alive and well today because of the radiation therapy I received earlier this year as a cancer patient of Hoag's Radiation Therapy Department. The medical care I received, professionalism of the experienced doctors and trained radiation therapists, plus the positive and tender loving care of the entire staff, unquestionably exceeded my expectations. That's the positive result from a patients point of view. The negatives were that unless I came as early as 7:00 A.M., finding a parking space was difficult and the patient load factor ( in spite of the best efforts of the staff) required lengthy waiting for treatment. It is obvious that the current hospital facilities are grossly inadequate to provide space for patient care and the necessary equipment and treatment rooms to handle the volume of people requiring comprehensive cancer care. As a recent patient, I implore you, the Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission, to vote for approval of this application. Cordially, ~d.✓~kt_,; Karl 0.

I urge your a~proval of this excellent project subject of course to compliance with all City ordinance policy and codes. Three years ago I was fortunate enough to have the facilities of the Hoag Cancer Center available to me when I had a bout with this frightening disease. The excellence of the care they provided cannot be overstated. However, it was apparent then that the facilities were overtaxed to an extent that created some discomfort and distress to the patients, both resident and outpatient. The community certainly needs this expanded facility and I urge your approval of it. Thank you for considering these thoughts.

I have personally inspected the proposed site and outline where the building is to be situated. I have also been advised that Hoag Hospital has tried to minimize the impact on the adjacent residential area. It appears that the Cancer Center can be built in a satisfactorily environmental manner. Hoag currently treats more cancer patients than any other hospital in Orange county. My own father was treated for cancer at the hospital in 1972. The exising facilities are inadequate for present and expected future needs. The new Hoag Compre- hensive Cancer Center will provide needed additional services, both to patients and to affected family members. Personally, I am on the Board of Directors of the 552 Club of Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian and in charge of the 552 Club Cancer Campaign Committee. As such, I am involved with the funding of the Cancer Center. As you can understand, the neces- sary fund raising, approximately $14,000,000, cannot proceed with any momentum without the City approval process having been com- Clarence J.

Turner Chairman, Planning Commission City of Newp o rt Beach Planning Department Po s t Office Box 1768 Ne wp o rt Beach, Ca 92658-8915 Dea r Mr. Turner, I 1 d like to introdu ce myself. I am a homeowner at 280 Cagney Lan e # 105 -one of the Villa Balboa buildings adjacent to Hoag Hospital. I wa s recently elected by the Villa Balboa Home Owners As sociat ion (HOA) to chair a committee to review the proposed Hoag Ho s pital Cancer Center. The reason I am writin g this letter is to request continuous of approval of Use Perm it No. 1421 and for additional time to review the impact o f the entire Hoag Hospital rezoning. I feel that the homeowners at Villa Balboa have been given inadequate time to pr epare for your September 4 public hearing. I cite the following examples: -Hoag Ho sp ital has spent over 5 months in planning for the proposed Cancer Center while Villa Balboa has had only a few weeks t o respond. -The negative declaration prepared by the City Planning Staff has not been available for public review until this week. -The Villa Balboa HOA board of directors met on August 20, (earliest po ssib le) to set up a committee to review the Hoag propo sa l . We need time to organize. -A high percent age of the homeowners of both Villa Balboa and the Ver sai lle s are absentee -this requires extra time to be notified. -A questi o ner was been mailed to both HOA's on August 28. Because of the holiday weekend and subsequent reduced number of days mail service we are still awaiting reply 1 s -Hoag Ho s pital is continually revising their plans proposed Cancer Center. Villa Balboa homeowners be allowed to review the final plan rather transient plan, subject to further change. for the should than a Villa Balboa HOA is considering legal counsel in regards to thi s matter. In order to obtain qualified representation we need more time. -Ow ners and residents of both Villa Balboa and the Ve r sailles are deeply concerned about the intensity and i mpac t of th e long term development of the 22 acre site a d jacent to us. I feel that it is responsibility of the Pl a nnin g Depa r tment and Hoag Hospital to take the time to de ve l o p a l o ng term plan. -No s t ud y has been sanctioned to evaluate the potential c h ange to h omeowners in Villa Balboa due to the proposed Ca nc er Ce nter. I feel adequate time is necessary to study th e fin a ncial impact against our property values. I h a ve atta c he d a copy of our August 28 mailing for your information. As yo u ca n see , our homeowners association is re s ponding as s oon as possible to these changing events. Under the circumstan c e s , I feel at leist a 60 day extension is not an unr e asonable request. Pete Foulke at Hoag Hospital has continually a ss ur ed me t h at they wish to be good neighbors in regard s to th e s e ma tt e r s. Please demonstrate to the homeowners and r e sident s o f Vil la Balboa that the City Planning Department a l so wi s h es to extend a similar spirit of cooperation.

This building i s t o be l ocated directly adjacent to the Villa Balboa pr ope rty on the fo r mer Caltrans site. The construction of this cent e r as plann e d may have a serious impact on your current and future prope r ty va lu e . On August 20, on beha l f of the Homeowners Association, the Villa Ba lb oa Community Association Board of Directors established a c omm it t ee to i nve stiga t e the various environmental, physical and l ega l impact s of the proposed Hoag Hospital expanion. This c om mittee will c ir culate a petition against the proposed de velopent, th e im pai r ment of our views, the potential decline in prop e rty valu e s an d the potential negative effect on the quality of living at Villa Balboa and the Versailles. On Wedne ~d a y, Au g ust 27 and September 3 at 7:00 p.m. the Review Committ e e will hav e meetings outside in the pool/ common area behind 950 Ca gn e y Lane . The purpose of these meetings is to organize a working committee which can make recommendations to the Villa Balb oa Home Owners Association Board of Directors and to formulat e a str a t egy for a proposal to the City Planning Commission . On Thur s day, Septemb er 4 at 7:00 p.m. the Newport Beach Planning De partment will hold .a public hearing to assess the Hoag Hospital appli c ation f o r use of this property. All homeowners are invited. Several legitimate concern s h a ve already been voiced to both Hoag Hospital and the Vill a Ba l boa Board. Among these are the following: -Altern a ti ve design and location -Vi e w Impairment from 280 Cagney Lane -La c k of lo ng term master plan from Hoag -Sec ur ity of Vi lla Balboa -Potenti a l i nc r eased earth quake threat -Incr eased congestion and traffic -Legal remedies We solicit the i nvolvement of ALL homeowners in this vital matt e r.

I am a strong supporter of Hoag Hospital and very much in favor of building the new Cancer Center. This facility would serve more than 1,900 patients who desperately need cancer care . At present, Hoag Radiation Therapy Department treats 50 patients a day and is the busiest cancer center in the county. This new facility, operating as the Hoag Cancer Center, will house a new radiation therapy department, out- patient chemotherapy center, counseling center, a store for special needs of the cancer patient, a pharmacy, laboratory and offices for the physicians specializing in the care of cancer patients . I feel, with the number of people needing this center and the number of new cancer cases everyday, the Hoag Cancer Center will be a vital part of our community.

Hoag has been a long time leader in cancer care in Orange County. In fact, Hoag admits more cancer patients each year than any other hospital in the County. Che of the most canpelling needs for the new cancer center is the size of Haag's radiation therapy department. Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for many cancer patients. The present unit was designed to accornnodate 20 patients per day and now often treats more than 60 patients daily. At this pace the equiµnent is wearing out. Waiting and treatment areas are crowded. Haag's new cancer center will double the cqpacity to serve the coomunity's cancer patients. Another primary reason for construction is to enhance patient convenience. Many of the services cancer patients regularly require are scattered throughout the hospital. It is difficult for these patients, who often do not feel well due to the effects of the cancer or the side effects of the treatment, to find parking and traverse the hospital corridors. The new cancer center will provide easy access parking and most of the services the patient will need in one convenient location. We need your help. The Hoag Cancer Center project will be reviewed by the City of Newport Beach Planning Commission on September 4th at 7:00 p.rn. in the City Council Chambers located at 3300 Newport Boulevard. Your support of this project in the form of a letter to the Chairman of the Planning Coomission would be truly appreciated. A fact sheet giving information on the project has been attached for your reference. Letters should be addressed to: Mr. Clarence. J.

As you are well aware, Hoag has been a longtime leader in cancer car e in Orange County; and, in fact, admits more cancer patients each year than any other hospital in the County. Numerous other arguments on behalf of this project could also be presented; but perhaps brevity at this time is more important, as I am confident you are receiving numerous letters of support. Therefore, I would like only to say that I believe Hoag Hospital has documented a truly outstanding record of community service over the years, and I can genuinely believe that only further benefits to Orange County can accrue from this new comprehensive cancer center.

Wednesday, Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, As concerned citizens, homeowners and residents of Villa Bal- boa we wish to extend our opposition to the location of the Hoag Canc e r Cent er. This is much against our wishes for many reasons which only a few can be voiced here. SAFETY-The proposed Bldg as planned is requesting the neces -sity of cutting deeply into "The Bluff", thereby creating a more unstable condition than alraedy exists and a hazard to our Bldg which alr~~dy is within proximity of the Newport -Inglewood fault within this coastal zone. Our place has alr8~y shown some damage f r om the last two recent earthquakes by two of our doors jamming, bearing witness to the fact of the unstable ground condition. HEALTH-For health reasons we will be exposed to smog due to th e many vehicles and transportation, especially of trucks that will b e delivering supplies to the rear of their bldg as planned a n d whi c h is at our doorstep (as the rear of proposed bldg-is just a few f ee t from our door). We will be breathing in these exhaust fumes as truck s k ee p running and unloading. What a sight to behold i n an exc lu s ive n e i g hborh o od! As citizens, we have always consider -ed New poTt Be a c h a s a well planned community. Also for health rea -s ons they (Hoag Hosp .) have not filled . enough data or guarantee that ~here will not be damage from their High Powered Electron ac- c el e rator that a c celerates electrons at the speed of light within the reac h of our home . It would appear to be very poor community planning to allo w this . NOISE-We as citizens of this community are entitled to a q uiet , peaceful enviroment , and if this center is erected as alrea -dy planned on this site we will be exposed to extra traffic at I n i ght and early morning hours causing loss of sleep as well as lights from cars glaring into our windows etc ... VIEW-Please refer to the letter of August 6th, 1986 written by Richard & Carol Panghurn and Mary Petropoulos stating that a high premium has been paid for our view of the Bay and ocean with ~· the supporting documents to verify such. W~also enclosing some further data to supplement this. Exhibits A & B .-Black lines representing sold condos after the printing . Exhibit A . Shown price range of the various condos as to floor plan . Exhibit B . Pri ce range as to view, square footage and view. For comparison purposes plan #6-condo #104 sold for $165,000 as well as #204 and #J04. Wheras #110 (Plan #6) with the same square footage but with a view sold for $229,000 and each floor plan #6(namely #210 & 310) J and with same square footage increased in value accordingly as to view. In view of the above we stand the lose $64,000 in value on our property at the 1981 level not counting the appreciation in va r -lue since that time. Their latest revised plans still does not solve the problem. In view of all this and more facts too numerous to mention,we would like for you to consider keeping this area for recreational and open space and to zone it as such, and not issue a permit for this high rise structure in this exclusive residental neighborhood.

Hoag has been a long time leader in cancer care in Orange County. In fact, Hoag admits more cancer patients each year than any other hospital in the County. One of the most canpelling needs for the new cancer center is the size of Hoa.g's radiation therapy department. Radiation therapy is an essential treatment for many cancer patients. The present unit was designed to accornnodate 20 patients per day and now often treats more than 60 patients daily. At this pace the equipnent is wearing out. Waiting and treatment areas are crowded. Hoag's new cancer center will double the cqpacity to serve the comnunity's cancer patients. Another primary reason for construction is to enhance patient convenience. Many of the services cancer patients regularly require are scattered throughout the hospital. It is difficult for these patients, who often do not feel well due to the effects of the cancer or the side effects of the treatment, to find parking and traverse the hospital corridors. The new cancer center will provide easy access parking and most of the services the patient will need in one convenient location. We need your help. The Hoag Cancer Center project will be reviewed by the City o f Newport Beach Planning Commission on September 4th at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers located at 3300 Newport Boulevard. Your support of this project in the form of a letter to the Chairman of the Planning Corrnnission would be truly appreciated. A fact sheet giving information on the project has been attached for your reference. Letters should be addressed to: ~ Vo /. Mr. Clarence . J.

Turner Chairman , Planning Commission Members of the Planning Commission City of Newport Beach Planning Department 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, CA 92663 Subject : The Hoag Cancer Center Proj e ct Dear Mr. Chairman and Members : S::T :.: 1986 ;"\ '. On Septe mber 4 , 1986, you will review the proposed Hoag Cancer Center project. Because I will be out of town on business and unable to attend the Planning Commission meeting , I am taking the liberty of writing this letter of support for the proposed project. My wife and I have been residents of the City of Newport Beach for 15 years and for the past 10 years we have lived within walking distance of Hoag Memoria l Hospital. In fact, I am alive and well today because of the radiation the r apy I received earlier this year as a cancer patient of Hoag's Radiation Thera p y Department. The medical care I received, professionalism of the e x perienced doctors and trained radiation thera pists, plus the positive and tender lo v ing c a re of the entire staff, unquestionably e x ceeded my e x pectations. That's the positive result from a patients point of view. The negatives were that unless I came as early as 7 :00 A .M., finding a parking space was difficult and the patient load factor ( in spite of the best efforts of the staff) required lengthy waiting for treatment. It is obvious that the current hospital facilities are grossl y inadequate to provide space for patient care and the necessary equipment and treatment rooms to handle the volume o f peopl e requiring c omprehensi v e cancer care . A s a r ecent patient, I implore y ou , the Cha irman and Members of the Planning Commi s sio n , to v ote for approv al of this application. Cordiall y, 4a ✓~ku Ka r l O.

This ... building is to be located directly adjacent to the Villa Balboa -~- property on the former Caltrans site. The construction of this - center as planned may have a serious impact on your current and future property value. On August 20, on behalf of the Homeowners Association, the Villa Balboa Community Association Board of Directors established a committee to investigate the various environmental, physical and legal impacts of the proposed Hoag Hospital expanion. This committee will circulate a petition against the proposed developent, the impairment of our views, the potential decline in property values and the potential negative effect on the quality of living at Villa Balboa and the Versailles. On Wedne~day, August 27 and September 3 at 7:00 p.m. the Review Committee will have meetings outside in the pool/ common area behind 950 Cagney Lane. The purpose of these meetings is to organize a working committee which can make recommendations to the Villa Balboa Home Owners Association Board of Directors and to formulate a strategy for a proposal to the City Planning Commission. On Thursday, September 4 at 7:00 p.m. the Newport Beach Planning Department will hold a public hearing to assess the Hoag Hospital application for use of this property. All homeowners are invited. Several legitimate concerns have already been voiced to both Hoag Hospital and the Villa Balboa Board. Among these are the following: -Alternative design and location -View Impairment from 280 Cagney Lane -Lack of long term master plan from Hoag -Security of Villa Balboa -Potential increased earth quake threat -Increased congestion and traffic -Legal remedies We solicit the involvement of ALL homeowners in this vital matter. The proposed Cancer Center represents less than ten percent of the possible construction between Villa Balboa and Pacific Coast Highway over the next several years. Only through a united effort at City Planning and City Council hearings will we have a voice in the outcome of this and future projects. Kim Lombard, Chairman 280 Cagney Lane# 105 Newport Beach, Ca 92663 (714) 631-5539 September 3, 1986 Mr. Clarence J. Turner Chairman, Planning Commission City of Newport Beach Planning Department Post Office Box 1768 Newport Beach, Ca 92658-8915 Dear Mr. Turner, I'd like to introduce myself. I am a homeowner at 280 Cagney Lane # 105 -one of the Villa Balboa buildings adjacent to Hoag Hospital. I was recently elected by the Villa Balboa Home Owners Association (HOA) to chair a committee to review the proposed Hoag Hospital Cancer Center. The reason I am writing this letter is to request continuous of approval of Use Permit No. 1421 and for additional time to review the impact of the entire Hoag Hospital rezoning. I feel that the homeowners at Villa Balboa have been given inadequate time to prepare for your September 4 public hearing. I cite the following examples: -Hoag Hospital has spent over 5 months in planning for the proposed Cancer Center while Villa Balboa has had only a few weeks to respond. -The negative declaration prepared by the City Planning Staff has not been available for public review until this week. -The Villa Balboa HOA board of directors met on August 20, (earliest possible) to set up a committee to review the Hoag proposal. We need time to organize. -A high percentage of the homeowners of both Villa Balboa and the Versailles are absentee -this requires extra time to be notified. -A questioner was been mailed to both HOA's on August 28. Because of the holiday weekend and subsequent reduced number of days mail service we are still awaiting reply's -Hoag Hospital is continually revising their plans proposed Cancer Center. Villa Balboa homeowners be allowed to review the final plan rather transient plan, subject to further change. for the should than a Villa Balboa HOA is considering legal counsel in regards to this matter. In order to obtain qualified representation we need more time.

Wednesday, Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, As concerned citizens, homeowners and residents of Villa Bal- boa we wish to extend our opposition to the location of the Hoag Cancer Center. This is much against our wishes for many reasons which only a few can be voiced here. SAFETY-The proposed Bldg as planned is requesting the neces -sity of cutting deeply into "The Bluff", thereby creating a more unstable condition than alraedy exists and a hazard to our Bldg which alr~~dy is within proximity of the Newport -Inglewood fault within this coastal zone. Our place has alra~y shown some damage from the last two recent earthquakes by two of our doors jamming, bearing witness to the fact of the unstable ground condition. HEALTH-For health reasons we will be exposed to smog due to the many vehicles and transportation, especially of trucks that will be delivering supplies to the rear of their bldg as planned and which is at our doorstep (as the rear of proposed bldg-is just a few feet from our door). We will be breathing in these exhaust fumes as trucks keep running and unloading. What a sight to behold in an exclusive neighborhood! As citizens, we have always consider -ed NewpoTt Beach as a well planned community. Also for health rea -sons they (Hoag Hosp.) have not filled enough data or guarantee that ~here will not be damage from their High Powered Electron ac- celerator that accelerates electrons at the speed of light within the reach of our home. It would appear to be very poor community planning to allow this. NOISE-We as citizens of this community are entitled to a quiet, peaceful enviroment, and if this center is erected as alrea -dy planned on this site we will be exposed to extra traffic at ) night and early morning hours causing loss of sleep as well as lights from cars glaring into our windows etc ...

I believe that enlarging the facility is of utmost importance not only to the members of our community, but also to people in adjacent communities. It would be a tremendous asset to have a treatment cente r of this kind close to so many of our citizens who need the help it can provide.
