August 6, 2013 LUEAAC Agenda Item Comments Comments on the Newport Beach Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee agenda from: Jim Mosher ( jimmosher@yahoo.com ), 2210 Private Road, Newport Beach 92660 (949-548-6229) 2) Approval of Minutes for July 16, 2013 Meeting 1. I have read the draft minutes, and the only glaring typo I see is in the list of Staff present, on page 1, Public Works Director Dave Webb being listed as "Don Webb." 2. That said, it is good staff is posting audio minutes, for I recall making several public comments and the July 16 meeting, and was surprised to see no hint of that in the written minutes. I do not know why those comments were suppressed, but at least to me it raises questions about the integrity of the written minutes as a accurate archival record of the proceedings of the LUEAAC. 3. The comments I recall making included: a. That as I understand it the Land Use Element is supposed to be the implementation of the vision and policies articulated in the other elements, making it difficult to see how a new Land Use Element could be justified unless required by changes to the other elements. Yet, the proposed timetable suggests the process of LUEAAC will be to consider and approve changes to the Land Use Element first, and only then invent the vision and policies necessary to justify them, with the changes to the other elements apparently not going to the voters. b. That the brief timeframe for obtaining and finalizing input for the EIR — relying heavily on suggestions received at two August afternoon meetings — coincides with the time period specifically identified by the City Manager in last year's City Charter Update committee proceedings as so inappropriate for City meetings that only a single Council session can be held. c. As clarified by Mr. Tescher, that although careful consideration will be given to the financial viability of each change for the developer proposing it, there is no plan to perform the fiscal analysis required by the present General Plan — that is, whether the change will provide a net financial benefit to the citizens of Newport Beach. d. That although I favor a reduction in vehicular traffic in all parts of Newport Beach, I had trouble understanding the emphasis placed on "trip neutrality" at the July 16 LUEAAC meeting. To the best of my knowledge, neither Greenlight/Charter Section 423 nor the current General Plan prohibit a vision with increased traffic, they merely require that the citizens be made aware of such plans and given a chance to vote on them, ideally on the basis of individual projects within statistical areas. August 6, 2013 LUEAAC comments by Jim Mosher Page 2 of 2 5) OTHER POTENTIAL LAND USE CHANGES a. Issue Papers i. Lido Village 1. I find the references to "the former Civic Center site" slightly confusing. Previous to this, I had always heard it referred to as a City Hall, and do not believe it has ever been thought of as representing anything more than that. 2. The report implies that the 2011 Citizens Advisory Panel (CAP)'s effort involved something more than developing Design Guidelines. My recollection is the CAP members were told their task was confined to developing architectural design guidelines that would appeal to the community, and that the Council's vision for future use of the City Hall site, or Lido Village in general, was not to be considered as part of that effort. ii. Mariners Mile 1. I am confused by the references to the "Best Western Expansion." Is this the hotel portion of the "Balboa Bay Resort" (formerly Balboa Bay Club)? Or is it some other facility (the Best Western property in Newport Shores would not be part of Mariners Mile)? 2. Under "General Plan Policies": a. I find the existing policy to "Require buildings to be located and sites designed to afford clear views and access to the Harbor and Bay from Coast Highway" an excellent one. Unfortunately, much of the current development is inconsistent with that policy. b. I also like the existing policy to "Require buildings to be located and designed to maintain the visual quality and structural integrity of the bluff faces."The currently under construction Mariner's Pointe project seems inconsistent with that, and I don't recall it being mentioned when it was up for approval. 3. Under "Issues/Opportunities," despite what the Issue Paper says, I don't see any of the items listed as actually being new issues "emerging since the General Plan's adoption." 4. Under "Recommendations," I haven't attempted to research how the Mariners' Mile Specific Plan called out in the current General Plan has ceased to exist. iii. Beach and Bay Mobile Home Park Hopefully before presenting a proposal to the voters, the authors will study the difference in meaning of the words "duel' and "dual' (as well as settling on a consistent punctuation for Mariners Mile). b. Other i. Public Correspondence 1. In paragraph "2)" on page 2, I'm not sure I understand the reference to "trolley participation." 2. I also find curious the expectation in the final sentence of that paragraph, that the noise contours of the airport will eventually shrink, rather than expand with increasing use. August 20, 2013 LUEAAC Agenda Item Comments Comments on the Newport Beach Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee agenda from: Jim Mosher ( jimmosherAyahoo.com ), 2210 Private Road, Newport Beach 92660 (949-548-6229) 2) Approval of Minutes (August 6, 2013 Meeting) The following minor corrections are suggested: 1. Page 1: "Members Present: " (Ed was not at the meeting and is correctly listed a bit lower on the page under "Members Absent.") 2. Page 2, under "Lido Village": "... to be reconstructed of with pre-existing floor area and parking spaces ..." 3. Page 3: a. Under "Congregate Care": "Mr. Tescher provided an overview and summary of ..." b. Under "Public Comment on Non-Agendized Items": i. "Staff will follow up with them directly." H. "Public comments were heard both for and against ..." c. Under "Adjournment": i. The date for posting of the agenda, given as "August 13, 2013," could not possibly be correct, since that would be a week after the meeting. August 3 is also unlikely since that would be a Saturday. Possibly August 1 (the Thursday preceding the meeting) is meant? ii. The reference to a "City Hall Bulletin Board" is not quite correct. The physical copy of the agenda is "posted" by placing it in a three-ring binder in the Council Chambers lobby. It is also displayed, along with other agendas, on an electronic screen in the lobby, although the latter is not yet fully functional. 3) Traffic Findings of Potential Land Use Change Areas Is Location 5, where 1022 rooms of Visitor Serving Commercial are being proposed to be removed from "Newport Coast Hotel Rooms" in the Coastal Zone? If so, won't this, by making the Newport Coast portion of the Coastal Zone increasingly available to permanent residents only, create a tremendous obstacle to a finding of consistency with the Coastal Act? 4) Other Area Updates I find it interesting that according to the minutes and materials posted to date, only the possible inclusion of these few "add -on" amendments seems to have been thought controversial enough to require Issue Papers and deliberation by the Committee. Are staff's original eight recommendations, including the huge Irvine Company proposals, thought to be of such obvious necessity and merit that any changes to them would be unthinkable? Or is discussion of those still to come? December 16, 2013 LUEAAC Agenda Item Comments Comments on the Newport Beach Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee agenda from: Jim Mosher ( jimmosher(a)yahoo.com ), 2210 Private Road, Newport Beach 92660 (949-548-6229) Item 3. Public Comments on Non -Agenda Items 1. I would like the Committee to be aware that, to the best of my knowledge, the links to the audio recordings of the previous LUEAAC meetings have been deleted from the City website. I assume the deletion of the links was inadvertent and will soon be corrected, but if it was not I encourage LUEAAC to advocate for the restoration of a full and complete record of its proceedings, including easy public access to the audio recordings. Not only does the absence of easy access to the recordings make it impossible for those who were unable to attend in person to be fully informed about what happened, but it seems particularly problematic in the case of LUEAAC since the written minutes are typically approved "as augmented by the audiotape." 2. In the absence of written minutes or an audio recording I cannot be absolutely sure my recollection is correct, but my distinct recollection is that at the December 3 meeting LUEAAC repeatedly considered, commented upon, and reached a consensus opinion about sections of staff's recommended changes to the LUE goals and policies, with public comment being invited only at the end, as the Committee was about to adjourn. Whether or not a vote was taken, or a final recommendation made on each section, I believe collective concurrence that a section had been adequately discussed, and was not in need of further change, constituted an "action" under the Brown Act, and that the public at large should have been given an opportunity to comment on each section before the Committee's decision to move on was made. November 5, 2013 LUEAAC Agenda Item Comments Comments on the Newport Beach Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee agenda from: Jim Mosher ( jimmosher(a)yahoo.com ), 2210 Private Road, Newport Beach 92660 (949-548-6229) Item 2. Approval of Minutes (October 1, 2013 Meeting) Page 1: • Jim Walker is listed under both "Members Present" and "Members Absent." It seems unlikely this is correct. My recollection is he was absent (or arrived very late?). • Under IV.A, it might be useful to spell out an acronym whose meaning is not likely to be obvious to some current readers, and certainly not clear to most future ones: "CAP" (= Citizens Advisory Panel). Page 2: • The line preceding Item V seems to end in midsentence. Should the final "to" be deleted? • Under "c. Lyon Communities," a word seems to be missing from the end of the last sentence. Was it meant to read: "... and the Committee could recommend a less intense use"? Attachment No. 2 Policy Comments from Committee Members 1. The agenda suggests this is related to discussion Item 3 ("Schedule of Land Use Element Goal and Policy Review"). I have some difficulty making that connection. It looks, instead, like a list of Land Use goals and policies may have been sent to the LUEAAC members with instructions at the top of the first page that are now partially obscured by an overlay box. The responses would seem to may play more into agenda Item 5 ("Scope of Policy Revisions") than Item 3? 2. It is truly admirable that Committee members Tucker and Watkins took the time to read through the list and to offer their comments and suggested modifications. In many cases it might have been helpful to indicate the reasons for the suggested modifications. I assume that will come out at this meeting or a later one? 3. For the benefit of the public, and perhaps for the benefit of the other Committee members, it might be helpful to combine the responses into a single integrated list, showing all the goals and policies, and highlighting or notating the places where comments or changes were suggested, and by whom. It would seem that might be more efficient than expecting each reader to flip between multiple lists (or use split screens) to determine what is consistent, and inconsistent, and also what may have been overlooked. September 3, 2013 LUEAAC Agenda Item Comments Comments on the Newport Beach Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee agenda from: Jim Mosher ( jimmosher(a)yahoo.com ), 2210 Private Road, Newport Beach 92660 (949-548-6229) 2) Approval of Minutes (August 20, 2013 Meeting) The following corrections are suggested. A number of unusual phrasings and capitalizations are not noted here. 1. Page 1: a. Under "11. Approval of Minutes," an additional sentence is needed to record the vote, saying something like: "Motion carried by acclamation." b. Under "111. Traffic Findings of Potential Land Use Change Areas," fourth bullet point: "Harbor Vies View Center." 2. Page 2: a. Under "a. Lido Marina Village," paragraph 3: "Gardner asked, since this area is already overbuilt, do we change = approach?" b. Paragraph 6: "Selich encouraged the Committee to look the guidelines and other relevant documents ..." c. Under "b. Mariner's Mile," paragraph 3: "A discussion on permitted heights in this area resulted in Gardner requested requesting a visual showing what it would look like." 3. Page 3: a. The text placed under "VI. Public Comment on Non-Agendized Items" seems primarily comment on "IV. Other Area Updates" that was invited by the Chair at the end of item IV, and which was heard before "V. Next Steps." The audio minutes reveal there was no comment on non -agenda items. b. In the last paragraph of this misplaced text, I suspect the last name of Douglas "Lasard" (of Belmont Village Senior Living) may be misspelled. Is it "Lessard"? 3) Economic Analysis for Airport Area I continue to be mystified that the Committee is not asking for the Fiscal Impact Analysis required by Implementation Program 12 of the 2006 General Plan: that is, would the net effect of the suggested developments be beneficial to the residents of Newport Beach as a whole? a. Airport Area (Attachment 2) 1. Since the analysis is no better than the accuracy of the data on which it is based, it would have seemed helpful to indicate the source of the numbers quoted and their relevance to the airport area. August 20, 2013 LUEAAC comments by Jim Mosher Page 2 of 2 2. In the "Background' section on page 1, for comparison with the analyses on page 2 it would have seemed helpful to mention the acreage of the Uptown Newport site, which I believe is 25 acres. From the figures given in the present report, that suggests the existing industrial development is at 0.41 FAR and the planned residential development is at 50 units per acre.. 3. On page 2, the claim in the last paragraph of the first section that retail uses cannot be successfully intensified by adding additional stories seems questionable to me. I thought the classic department store was a multistory affair, as is the recently approved Mariner's Pointe retail development in Newport Beach. 4. Even assuming the information provided is accurate for the airport area, I find little value in the analysis provided. As best I understand the discussion, it tells me that if for $3,539,000 I could acquire one acre of airport land and build a 10,890 square foot (0.25 FAR) one story office building on it, I could expect to be able to rent it out for an annual return of 8%. If I were able to acquire the same acre and build 25 condos on it for $4.5 million, in selling them I could expect a one-time return on my investment of 15%. I fail to see how his tells me if it is actually feasible to create either of those developments for the price quoted, or, assuming it was, which would be the more attractive investment. b. Mariners' Mile (Attachment 3) 1. I have the impression that the "Amount Financed' is treated as if the money could be borrowed for free, that is, that there are no costs associated with borrowing it. 2. The last paragraph on page 2 (handwritten page 15) says "With an IRR target of 15 percent, the pro forma analysis calculates the remaining variable, the residual land value," however the calculation seems to be based on numbers not listed elsewhere on the pro forma. From the information provided, I am unable to deduce how the "Residual Land Value @ 15% IRR" is estimated. 3. The analysis of Site 1 begins, at the start of the second full paragraph on page 6 with a statement that "the total development costs for this scenario to be $51, 740, 000," yet the pro forma starts by listing that cost as "$54,170,000." Without seeing a breakdown of the many unstated costs that go into this, it is hard to know which number was intended. 4. I would think the Site 1 scenario is unfeasible because the estimated value of the project at completion (after 5 years) is substantially less than the total development cost (whichever of the above numbers is correct). The report says it is unfeasible because the fair market cost to acquire the property (which I assume is factored into the total development cost) is $12 million per acre and that is more than the "residual land value" of $7.2 million per acre. However, the remaining two sites are evaluated without stating what the fair market cost to acquire those properties is. If that number is essential to evaluating the Site 1 pro forma analysis, I find it difficult to understand why it is not needed to evaluate the other two pro formas. Sept. 17, 2013 LUEAAC Agenda Item 2 Comments Comments on the Newport Beach Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee agenda from: Jim Mosher ( jimmosher@yahoo.com ), 2210 Private Road, Newport Beach 92660 (949-548-6229) 2) Approval of Minutes (September 3, 2013, Meeting) The following minor corrections are suggested -- 1. Page 2: a. Paragraph 3, last sentence: "Gunnels Gunnells gave an overview of the bayside of Mariners' Mile." b. Paragraph 4: i. First sentence: "Mr. Gary Picket Pickett, representing a property on Mariners' Mile, confirmed ..." [note: the spelling with 2 is is the one that has been used in City Council minutes] ii. Second sentence: "It was discussed that redevelopment of the A-rdel Ardell properties was discussed as part of the 2006 General Plan update." [note: see following agenda item (Attachment No. 2) for owner's spelling] c. Paragraph IV.a heading: "a. The Hangers Hangars" [note: for preferred spelling see applicant's representative's letter in Attachment No. 3, or to quote from the internet "You park your plane in a hangar but hang up your slacks on a hanger."] 2. Page 3: a. Last sentence: "... in the agenda binder and on the City -Hall -Bulletin -Board electronic bulletin board located in the entrance of the Council Chambers at 100 Civic Center Drive." [note: there is no physical bulletin board at the new council chambers. Instead, the paper agenda is filed in a three-ring binder for public inspection, supplemented by a rotating electronic display of the binder contents.] Final note on spelling: The agenda listing for Item 5 ("Overview of Potential Policy Areas") provides a link to a page of "Design Guidelines and Plans" on the City website. Those "background documents" include a "Mariner's Mile Strategic Vision and Design Framework" from 2000, which consistently and insistently uses the spelling "Mariner's". Although the 2006 General Plan uses "Mariners' Mile" 45 times to just 5 uses of "Mariner's Mile," the 2009 version of the Coastal Land Use Plan uses "Mariner's Mile" 22 times compared to 6 uses of "Mariners' Mile." In settling on "Mariners' Mile" the LUEAAC is maintaining consistency with the General Plan, but based on the vision document and the current City wayfinding signs, which say "Mariner's Mile," may be going against the preference of the local stakeholders.

To that end, we have prepared a few suggested language changes to policies as noted below for consideration by staff and the LUEAC Committee. Thanks, cmmc The additional language is in italics and underlined below. See p. 3-122 et seq. in the existing Land Use Element of the General Plan for the sections on Mariner's Mile. LU 6.19.9 Harbor and Bay Views and Access Require that buildings be located... Clustering of buildings... Modulation of building volume... Variation of building heights including multiple stories where the other policies can be met LU 6.19.12 Properties Abutting Bluff Faces Require that development projects locate and design buildings to maintain visual quality and maintain the structural integrity of the bluff faces._(Note: since the bluffs were determined not to be "coastal bluffs", maintaining the visual quality of the bluffs should no longer be necessary and a retaining wall could assist in making the site more developable.) L U 1.19.12a Allow building heights that protect public views through the creation of building height envelopes during the site development permit process. Create an Implementation Measure related to LUP and zoning changes allowing for increasing heights in Mariner's Mile up to 3-stories on the harbor side and up to 4-stories on the inland side with building envelope criteria Carol Mentor McDermott, AICP Consultant Government Solutions, Inc.

I understand and request that my property be included in the disbursement of the potential 500,000 square feet of office and 50,000 square feet of retail. We now have additional parking giving us a total of 58 spaces and the property is entitled for up to 38,000 square feet of building on the parcel. understand that this process is currently underway and, if you recall, we were not aware of the October 1, 2013 deadline for a formal submission due to our close of escrow on the 23`d of September 2013. Please let me know what I need to do to keep on top of this procedure and thank you for all your assistance in this matter.

You are aware that Big Canyon is located adjacent to Fashion Island/Newport Center, one of the areas proposed for major changes to the land use plan. Our major concern is how the proposed changes will impact the quality of life of our members, and most specifically the increase in traffic at intersections shared with Fashion Island. First, let me say that we are not opposed in principal to an additional 500,000 SF of Regional Office space within Fashion Island, however, before voting to approve a General Plan Amendment, we would like to know, the location of the proposed addition, the height of the proposed building, and the traffic impact on the intersections adjacent to the Big Canyon Community. We have similar concerns for the additional 50,000 SF of Regional Commercial Office Space and would like to know the proposed location and impact on shared intersections. When it comes to the proposal to add an additional 500 Multi -Family Dwellings to the Newport Center/Fashion Island plan we question whether this is a premature move. The Irvine Company has the availability to build roughly 524 Multi -Family units at present. Why not let them build out their product, and let Newport Beach residents decide if this is something they would like to see more of in the future? Of course we would like to know the location and traffic impact of these proposed units. While we recognize that we will see specific plans in the future before approval by the City Council, it is only the General Plan Amendment that we will vote on. One final thought, would you and a member of your planning staff care to make a presentation at one of our Board meetings which is open to all homeowners of the community? Sincerely, Dwight Ryan President September 27, 2013 Gregg Ramirez -Senior Planner City of Newport Beach 100 Civic Center Drive Newport Beach, CA 92660 Re: 150 Newport Center Drive LUE-General Plan Dear Gregg: Please accept this letter as a request to include 150 Newport Center Drive (Beacon Bay Car Wash) in the current Newport Beach General Plan process. This parcel is significant in its proximity to the 2 new restaurants being constructed at Anacapa and Newport Center Drive within the Newport Center North General Plan. The car wash land area is approximately 52,000 square feet and the operation will be closing down in the near future. While a specific plan is difficult to provide at this time, the plan is to process a 125 room, high end suite hotel. There may be a component that includes high end condominiums but at this point in time the request is to consider only the suite hotel concept. The proposed land use requested would be for a MU-H3 to accommodate a ground floor restaurant and the suite hotel. Parking would be sub terrarium. If the land use plan is approved, it would than require either a zone change or CUP to accommodate a height change to 90 feet. This use will grow the tax base, provide bed tax and provide a new amenity that is needed in Newport Center. Thank you for your consideration in presenting this to the Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee. In the meantime if you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

Policies should be updated to protect more open space. Rampant development that wipes land which provides for a balanced ecosystem is dwindling fast. This open space functions in a variety of ways - it lets us residents find some peace in this crazy society, it also is an important migrating stop-overs for birds, as well as provides a home for a variety of species. Just because most developers and politicians don't understand Science does not mean they should ignore it. It is of utmost importance for policies to have a long-term vision in protecting nature around us. That alone will increase home prices. Thank you, Kim Hendricks 1 December 2, 2013 City of Newport Beach Land Use Element- Advisory Committee Ed Selich, Chairman 100 Civic Center Drive Newport Beach CA COMMENTS RE. PROPOSED REVISIONS TO LAND USE ELEMENT - PLEASE DISTRIBUTE AND ENTER INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD We have had the opportunity to only briefly review the proposed revisions to the Land Use Element in Attachment no. 2 of the information package, as have been submitted to the Committee for its review and discussion at the December 3, 2013 meeting. Following are our comments which we request be considered by the Committee(reference is based on handwritten page numbers). Goal LU1- Request that language be included to read: a family oriented community serving residents and visitors. LU 1.x3-Compatible Land Uses- request that language be included to read: Where there are areas in close proximity to residential areas, that the mix of uses be complimentary both physically and by type of use to the character that would promote use, safety and enjoyment of the commercial and marine recreational areas by residents and visitors.pg. 8 LU 3.2-Growth and Change- request that language be modified to include reference to : provide place for people to interact and enjoy an area "as a destination" —remove reference to "congregate" as this suggests assemblies and loitering which could detract from economic viability and integrity of an area. Pp. 9-10 LU 3.3Opportunities for Change: request that language be modified to include "encourage marine and outdoor oriented dining and recreational uses..." and "support the establishment of Destinations used by regular residents and visitors, while preserving the character of the dense, residential neighborhoods in close proximity to each major commercial and recreational area ". Pg. 10 LU 6.6.1 Hospital Supporting Uses integrated with residential neighborhoods - Request harmonization of Land Use and other related plans so that Medical, counselling and similar institutional -type uses are clustered and encouraged proximite to major health care facilities(eg Hoag), and not be permitted in zones where not compatible with other mix of uses —Lido Village, Cannery Village, McFadden,etc. p 22 LU 6.7.2 Marine -based businesses- request that there be policy to consider incentives for other compatible uses in marine areas which provide platform for economic development and use by residents, visitors. Request that the City revisit the Specific Plan for Cannery Village and McFadden, expand to include Lido Village, and provide specific mix of permitted and not permitted uses. Also recommend that "marine uses" be expanded to include all waterfront recreation considering bay and ocean beaches, and the entire menu of recreational outdoor activities, not just boating.P. 29 Districts in Marine area(Lido, Cannery, McFadden, Balboa Village — Comments refer to pp. 29-34 Provide for mix of uses which serve family residential and visitors, promote economic vitality, are environmentally sustainable, and which do not have adverse impact on nearby residential neighborhoods. Recommended permitted Uses: - Hotel - Restaurant - Retail boutique - Recreational - Entertainment-Cultural Recommended incompatible uses: - Tatoo parlors - Bars - Medical(counselling, physician,etc) - Religious and other institutional Establish Concentration parameters for certain uses: bars Establish program for amortization for Non -conforming uses to facilitate transition to compatible mix of uses. No automatic or implicit "grandfathering". Any use subject to CUP would be subject to criteria,above, and public review process. Take measures to preserve the integrity of the surrounding residential neighborhoods(parking management, traffic,etc.) LU 6.9 X "Vested Uses"- Replace this concept with conventionally accepted planning principles concerning conforming and non -conforming uses. A related topic not addressed in the Land Use Element's current construct, but which we request be addressed includes commitment to adherence and compliance with Plan goals and provisions. I appreciate the Committee's consideration of these important principles and proposed modifications to the draft Land Use element, and their incorporation into this, the Local Coastal and Specific Plans.

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions. Gregg Gregg Ramirez Senior Planner City of Newport Beach I Planning Division I Community Development 100 Civic Center Drive I Newport Beach, CA 92660 (949) 644-3219 I (949) 644-3224 (FAX) I gramirez@newportbeachca.gov www.newportbeach.ca.gov From: Paul Watkins [mailto:paul@lawfriend.com] Sent: Saturday, August 03, 2013 1:09 PM To: Ramirez, Gregg Subject: FW: Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee Hi Gregg: I've reviewed the packet for the meeting on Tuesday, August 6. Had a couple of quick questions on Karen Martin's (Pacific Planning Group) July 29 letter and recommendations: (1) Would you please provide me with a list of the "opportunity sites" in the current Housing Element referred to near the bottom of page 1 of Ms. Martin's letter? The list of "opportunity sites" is part of the Housing Element. The opportunity sites portion of the Housing Element is where we demonstrate to HCD (State Department of Housing and Community Develop) that the City has a adequate number of sites with the residential zoning to accommodate the City's regional housing needs assessment 1 (RHNA). Of course developers also use it to find potential housing sites. This Zink will take you to the list: http://www.newportbeachca.gov/PLN/General Plan/06 Ch5 Housing web.pdf#page= 157 (2) Please explain what is meant by "credits for provision of or proof of assessable existing amenities" near the bottom of page 1 of Ms. Martin's letter. I would say this is in regard to trip credits for developments/land uses in or near areas that have a substantial amount of walk-in/bike-in customers or developments that are near mass transit stops. (3) At page 2, Ms. Martin suggests that we consider how Floor Area Ratio maximums/minimums impact the goals of redevelopment. What is her point here? Is she simply saying that in looking at "opportunity sites" we should be mindful of FARs or is she suggesting that the FARs be revised/relaxed? I believe she is saying that we should study construction feasibility from an economic stand point (do the allowed uses, floor area (FAR) and residential density allow a profitable development?). The Planning Center is currently preparing and economic analysis of housing in the Airport Area. We'll report on what the content of that analysis will be at tomorrow's meeting. (4) Can you explain the benefit/rationale for an "Airport Mobility" overlay district? Isn't it NOW possible to transfer development rights in the JWA area? Yes. What additional land uses would be recommended for the JWA area? I think I understand General Plans, Specific Plans, zoning, etc., but I'm not sure how overlay districts fit into the structure of land use in general. Is this sort of a special land use tool? Has it been used elsewhere in the City? I believe she's is saying a comprehensive zoning approach to the Airport Area is needed. Currently, the zoning and general plan designations are not entirely consistent in the Airport Area. The general plan is set up to require that proposed residential or mixed use projects include a Planned Community document (zoning) for each development. This was thought to provide flexibility to developers to design and present their plan without the limitations of pre -adopted zoning. The recently approved Uptown Newport project included a Planned Community document. Additionally, the City has approved an affordable housing overlay in the airport area. Zoning overlays are often applied to portions of broader zoning districts to address a certain issue(s), but many of the use and development regulations of the base (or underlying) zoning district still apply. For example, the zoning code currently has a Bluff (B) Overly. This applies to several areas in the City, but mostly the R-1 zoning district. Within the overlay the R-1 use regulations do not change and many of the development standards don't change (e.g. height, front yard setbacks, etc) however, specific development standards apply bluff side development (e.g. bluff face development restriction, bluff edge setbacks, etc). 2 (5) Could you send me a map of the "noise contour" area? The attached map shows the 65 CNEL contour. Essentially all of Newport Beach westerly of the 65 CNEL dashed line is within the City. Also, we will be proving hard copies of the land use element for all committee members at tomorrow's meeting. Sorry to bug you with these questions. Thanks, Gregg. No bother at all, let me know if you have any follow-up questions and have a great day. See you Tuesday.

Dear Council Member Selich: Belmont Village, L.P. ("Belmont") and the owners of the Property, WPI CAMPUS LLC & UAP JAMBOREE LLC ("WPI/UAP), respectfully request a modification of the allowed Floor Area Ratio ("FAR") for development of an Assisted Living/Congregate Care facility as part of the proposed General Plan Land Use Element Amendment ("General Plan Amendment"). Belmont has participated in the Advisory Committee meetings from the start and has been advised by city staff to locate a suitable site for its proposed development. Belmont proposes to develop an Assisted Living/Congregate Care facility with a maximum of 170 residences on the Property and maintain traffic neutrality. Assisted Living/Congregate Care Needed: Newport Beach is an aging community and demographics strongly support the need for more Assisted Living/Congregate Care. The Zoning Code allows Assisted Living/Congregate Care in only a few sites zoned as Private Institutional. None of these sites are available for redevelopment nor would they allow adequate FAR. A modification to the General Plan is necessary to allow more development of Assisted Living/Congregate Care to address the future care needs of senior citizens in Newport Beach. Traffic Neutrality: The attached traffic study shows that an Assisted Living/Congregate Care facility with 170 residences will produce the same daily traffic as the current entitlements on the Property, but with substantially fewer AM and PM peak trips. We understand that the City has its own model to calculate traffic, but traffic experts have advised that the traffic conversion from Commercial Office to Assisted Living/Congregate Care will be very similar under any calculation model. Belmont Village — General Plan Land Use Element Page 2 of 3 FAR Modification: As part of the General Plan Amendment, we request an increase in FAR to 2.0 in order to develop an Assisted Living/Congregate Care with a maximum of 170 residences on the Property. The proposed project would be approximately 148,000 square feet in size which would require a FAR of 2.0. The proposed project can be built vertical (6 stories & 75 feet as proposed) as the existing zoning allows building height up to 125 feet. We have attached an example site -fit for the proposed project. The 6 story building would have a 25,000 sq. ft. footprint which fits nicely on the 1.7 acre (74,052 sq. f%.) parcel. The building footprint conforms to the previously approved office building envelope and required setbacks of the Koll Specific Plan. The facility would be approximately 148,000 sq. ft. with a maximum of 170 residences. All parking would be underground. Compatible Use: The proposed development would enhance the corner of Jamboree and Campus, a major gateway to the city. Assisted Living/Congregate Care is an institutional type use and compatible with the surrounding uses. Next to the Property are two non-residential uses including a County Courthouse (Institutional) and commercial offices. An Assisted Living/Congregate Care facility will serve as a buffer between those uses and the existing and planned multifamily developments across Jamboree and Campus. Koll Specific Plan: A subsequent zoning amendment to the Koll Specific Plan will also be necessary to allow Congregate Care/Assisted Living on the Property. We thank you for consideration of our request. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or comments.

As the owners of a majority of the property and buildings in the 19+ acre parcel known as Newport Corporate Plaza, (bounded by Von Karman, Birch, Campus and Teller), we sincerely appreciate the Committee's careful consideration for our initial request and the Council's support for the concept at the Study Session on September 24, 2013. We believe that the opportunity to implement the MU-H2 designation of the existing General Plan is contingent on the addition of additional replacement units and on the creation of a quality mixed use project with hotel, residential and retail. Recognizing that the goal of the committee has been to include amendments that are traffic neutral, we initially proposed only the addition of 700 replacement units. As we undertake the major effort to begin the entitlement of the property for a mixed use development of residential, retail and possibly a hotel, the land uses are permitted in the General Plan but current traffic assumptions are an issue that needs resolution. To that end, we wish to clarify our request to offer two options for your consideration as follows: 1. The addition of 700 replacement units (traffic neutral) 2. A mixed use proposal of residential, hotel and retail (850 residential units, 150 hotel rooms, and 85,000 SF of retail, for an additional 5,000 trips) To the extent a project description for the LUE Amendment environmental document can evaluate these two options, then there is an opportunity to examine the traffic assumptions in the Traffic Model and to evaluate the traffic impacts of both options, with the possibility of allowing the mixed use project beyond the traffic neutrality objective. We would like our traffic engineer to work with the City Traffic Engineer and the city's consultant from Urban Crossroads to examine these two options. 4901 Birch Street Newport Beach, CA 92660 = 949-252-9101 phone = 949-252-9202 fax LyonCommunities.com Bringing Quality Nome"' We appreciate your review of this request and look forward to a positive recommendation to the LUE Amendment Committee.

Just a few comments/questions: (1) Please let us know the time/location of the September 9 Informational Meeting. Date/Time: Monday, September 9th at 6:00pm. Location: City Hall- Community Room (2) August 20, 2013 Minutes: III, fourth bullet point, please correct the spelling of "View". IVa., fifth paragraph, what does "making improvements 'organically'" mean? IVa., Councilmember Selich's comment: after "look", please at the word "at". IVa., Committee Member Batley's comment: I believe I may have mentioned that the Newport Blvd -fronting retail across from the old City Hall should also be reviewed to see if we might encourage work -live or other tasteful mixed used development of that strip ---particularly in light of the upscale boutique hotel which may be developed across the street on the old City Hall site. VI, second paragraph, second sentence: needs to be rewritten to the effect that previously available public parking may be lost if the proposed boutique hotel project proceeds. 1 Organically was meant to suggest that the other projects in the area (City Hall re- use, Via Lido townhomes, etc.) could be result in investment and re -development from other property owners without the need to change policies or codes. (3) At our meeting on September 3, will we see the "visual" re the bayside of the Mariner's Mile corridor requested by Councilmember Gardner? Yes (4) Would you and Dave Webb please discuss the outcome of your meeting with the owners on the Buena Vista Open Space issue? (5) There are two issue here, 1) the use of the Buena Vista public right of way and 2) the open space land use designation of the private property bayward of the Buena Vista right of way. I'm meeting with the property owners later this week to discuss the private property. Tony Brine or Dave Webb will provide an update on the right of way issue at the meeting. (6) August 29, 2013 Memorandum on Mariner's Mile: were the property owners of Sites 1, 2, and 3 consulted/interviewed on the analysis/assumptions/conclusions presented? No. This was an independent analysis. Sorry to bother you with these questions. I'm getting better at understanding the issues, but still a little in the dark on some things.

I have now reviewed the "Draft Goals & Policies". I am certainly not an expert on AB 32 (Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006) and 5B 375 (Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008). However, in my view, the language proposed in many of the "Draft Goals & Policies" relating to these Acts seems to have a slight bias in the direction of mandated sustainability, energy reduction, water usage reduction, waste reduction, and grey water usage standards. My concern (based on regrettable experiences in my practice) is that unless a city's goals/policies/strategies are properly qualified and applied, some of our proposed "Draft Goals & Policies" mandated standards relating to sustainability, energy reduction, water usage reduction, waste reduction, and grey water usage may be used by less -than -innocent folks to improperly block, delay, or deny well -qualified projects. To this point, I have suggested in the attachment some "qualifiers" to the proposed "Draft Goals & Policies" relating to the Acts so that our City's policy makers can continue to make good discretionary judgments on projects guided by justified sustainability concerns but not handcuffed by them. My comments are in a "redline" format reflecting the changes I would propose to staff's recommended "Draft Goals & Policies". Thank you for considering my input. Sincerely, Paul PS I have a meeting in Santa Ana on Tuesday starting at 5:00 PM and will need to excuse myself a few minutes before 5:00 PM. Thanks, Gregg. 1 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH; LAND USE COMMITTEE Draft: "Goals & Practices" (Paul Watkins' Suggested Revisions for Discussion at 12/03/13 Meeting) LU 1.X Environmental Health Promote reasonable sustainable land use and developmental practices which make efficient that minimize the use of non-renewable resources and reduce or reasonably control greenhouse gas emissions.

Regarding my Coastal Commission comment on this item during the public hearing segment of the meeting, that was prompted by receiving in the mail this afternoon, quite unprompted and unexpected, a notice of the CCC's August 14 Santa Cruz hearing on the Marina Park CLUP amendment. Since I had never written to them about it, it appeared that commenting on the item at a CNB meeting placed me on the list of "interested parties." I rather doubt that will happen here, but I thought it was worth a try.

Since the meeting held on September 9, 2013 with Brenda, Tony, Gregg Ramirez and Marlie Whiteman regarding The Hangars site, we have continued to consider how better to devise a land use proposal to allow for the local serving retail the Airport Area needs at this 16-acre site. While we have been requesting a change from CO-G to CG, we are also open to a Mixed Use designation, whether the MU- H2 as shown on surrounding property or a new MU category we might work with you to create. Responding to unmet demand for retail in the airport area of the city, but needing to protect the existing office entitlement, we reviewed the current traffic model traffic generation factors to determine how to increase the entitlement while respecting the goal of traffic neutrality. We discovered that without amending the traffic model to better reflect the capture of existing trips in the area which can be expected to utilize the proposed retail, adding adequate retail development potential could not be traffic neutral. However, we also recognized that there are 10,00o s.f. of office allowed on the site but not built, which can be traded for capacity in the traffic system. Therefore allocating the unused trips from this site with saved trips from other reductions is a positive approach. 5000 Birch Street f Suite 400 I Newport Beach J California 192660 In addition, we are engaging the traffic consulting firm of LLG, Paul Wilkinson, to work with us on how the Model Trip Generation Rates might be refined to better address the conditions surrounding our site, recognizing how many trips currently leave the airport area mid -day due to a lack of locally serving retail. The findings from the study will not be available for a few weeks but we respectfully request committee support for keeping this property on the list of proposed amendments while we work with the consultant and the Staff to determine some creative way to determine more realistic traffic assumptions for this site. It continues to be our goal to retain the current office entitlement while adding the maximum retail to the site. While we recognize this letter is late for the mailing to the Committee, we respectfully request the Committee's support for time to work with the staff and consultant to consider a revised proposal of both the amount of square footage for the site and the traffic assumptions that will support it. We thank you for your efforts to work with us to address this issue.

Approval of Minutes (November 5, 2013, Meeting) I would like to suggest the following extremely minor changes to the last two paragraphs on page 3 of the draft minutes: • "Staff identified that two of the potential land use changes that were to be studied by the SEIR (Fletcher Jones and Promitory Promontory Point) have been resided rescinded by the property owners." • "The agenda for the Regular Meeting was posted on Novmeber 1, 2013, at 2:30 p.m., on the City Hall Electronic Bulletin Board and in the agenda binder located in the entrance of the Council Chambers at 100 Civic Center Drive." Notes: 1. Since the Electronic Bulletin Board is not yet fully and reliably functional, the hard copy printout in the agenda binder is currently the "official" Brown Act posting of the agenda. 2. The vote reported at the bottom of page 2 — "(4 Approved, 2 Opposed, 2 Abstained)" — raises an interesting questions of how decisions will be made on matters where the Committee is divided. For a motion to pass, will it need "yes" votes by: (1) a majority of the Committee membership? or (2) a majority of the members present? or (3) a majority of the votes cast? and (4) how will abstentions be counted? I don't think the committee has adopted clear rules of procedure at this point. Item 3.a. Review & Discuss Draft Revisions (to Goals & Policies) Aside from the correction of obvious typos in the existing Land Use Element (LUE), I think it would have been helpful to indicate both the reason for each proposed change and an explanation of how, in the author's opinion, the interpretation of the proposed new language would differ from that of the existing language. Without that, and probably even with that, I find this item nearly impossible to comment on. Nor can I visualize how the Committee will handle it. Before even soliciting further suggestions from its members and the public, changes are proposed to more than 100 paragraphs over 44 densely written pages. It is difficult for me to believe thoughtful deliberation can be given to each of so many changes at a single meeting, and finalized at the next. I am also struggling to understand how these revisions to the LUE could be made without substantially modifying the Implementation Program and possibly other elements of the General Plan which the Land Use Element is itself supposed to summarize and implement. November 5, 2013 LUEAAC comments by Jim Mosher Page 2 of 2 Item 3.b. Public Correspondence (re: Review of Goals & Policies) I agree with Dorothy Kraus that many of the proposed revisions she commented on, some of which may already have been mysteriously dropped before being considered by the Committee, seem arbitrary, pro -growth and inconsistent with the Vision Statement of the current General Plan. And to me such pro -growth relaxation of existing commitments by a small Committee seems particularly problematic given that when voters were asked to give the "Greenlight" to the current development plan — developed with much more extensive public input and participation — they were told (see City Council Resolution 2006-77) it managed to add 1,166 residential units while reducing non-residential development and traffic. I share Dorothy's confusion as to what changes to the circumstances of the City in the last seven years dictate the need for a new vision. October 1, 2013 LUEAAC Agenda Comments Comments on the Newport Beach Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee agenda from: Jim Mosher ( jimmosher@yahoo.com ), 2210 Private Road, Newport Beach 92660 (949-548-6229) 2) Approval of Minutes (September 17, 2013, Meeting) The following minor corrections are suggested -- 1. Page 1: a. Location: "Oasis OASIS Senior Center ..." b. Item IV.a, sentence 3: "Gary Pickcr Pickett, representing Ardell, ..." 2. Page 2: a. Paragraph 3: "Gary Picket Pickett, representing Ardell, ..." b. Item b.ii. Saunders: "... including 1.2 M SF or of office and ..." ii. The following "sentence" -- "(An increase of 10,840 trips) (4,192 are attributed to residential) (13,296 office trips)"- seems notes rather than minutes and makes little sense as presented. Is 13,296 an increase or a new total? c. Paragraph 3 from end: "(ii) Patrick Strader Strader representing Saunders gave an overview, ..." 3. Page 3: a. Paragraph 2: "McDermott described potential options for moving forward through TDR ..." [TDR = Transfer of Development Rights ? — might be helpful to spell out what it stands for] b. Item (iv): "... and an increase of FAR of to [?] approximately 2.0 FAR. Their intent is to stay trip neutral on this site." c. Item d.: "The Irvine Company — Requested removal of 357 residential units at Newport ridge Ridge." 4. Page 4: a. Last sentence: "... in the agenda binder and on the electronic bulletin board located in the entrance of the Council Chambers at 100 Civic Center Drive." October 1, 2013 LUEAAC comments by Jim Mosher Page 2 of 2 5) Finalize Land Use Changes to be Considered in Environmental Impact Report 1. The pre -meeting handout ("Attachment No. 3 : Potential Land Use Changes Chart") has what appears to be a typo in the footnote at the bottom of the first page where it says "Property owner has revised original request of a 1,200 hotel room reduction to retain 25 hotel rooms." I believe the original request was for a 1,022 room reduction, which would have left zero remaining hotel room entitlement. 2. This document, like those that have preceded it, describes traffic impacts in terms of "ADT" which I believe stands for "Annual Daily Traffic." Since the Charter Section 423 voter approval requirement is based on the quite different "Peak Hour Trips" combined with 80 percent of previous non -voter -approved increases in the preceding 10 years, it is very difficult to assess which of the proposed General Plan changes would, by themselves, require voter approval. City staff presumably keeps track of how much new development is currently allowable in each statistical area without a Section 423 vote. It would seem helpful to relate that information to the present chart in such a way that the Committee could see which proposals actually need to be placed on the ballot, and which do not. 3. I continue to have heard no explanation to the Committee, nor discussion by the Committee, of how the proposed new Newport Center/ Fashion Island development entitlements (first item on page 2 of Attachment No. 3) benefits the City's residents, or how it would likely be used.

Members of the Council and Committee: I am travelling and unable to attend the upcoming September 3rd meeting of the General Plan update and Local Coastal Program Implementation Committee. I am requesting that the Committee carefully consider the particular characteristics of the Lido Village and Balboa Penninsula coastal area, and the Requirements for successful Revitalization. i The area of Lido Village, including City Hall site reuse, has been identified by the City as an area targeted for revitalization. It is critical that the right Mix of Uses be identified to preserve the environmental integrity and attractiveness of the area, which in turn will maximize sustainable Economic benefit to the City. I request that the the Committee consider and incorporate into the plan, complementary the following Land Use program: We request that the Committee incorporate into the plan updates Uses compatible to and synergistic with one another, such as: Upscale Hospitality; boutique retail; high end and contemporary casual dining(including open air); outdoor coastal -oriented recreation and specialty entertainment(theater);cosmetic personal care. Both the sustained community and visitors can visit and enjoy these uses. We request that Incompatible Uses such as(but not necessarily limited to) the following not be included or permitted: Tatoo parlors; pool halls; educational/institutional facilities;counseling or medical type facilities. Educational, counseling and medical -type facilities are certainly important for the City, and are best located in one of the numerous , appropriate areas of the City(eg. Medical proximite to Hoag or Fashion Island medical complexes,etc) Uses which tend to perpetuate concentrations of groups smoking and loitering, should not be permitted and are particularly inappropriate in an area encouraging family,health-oriented use . THANK YOU in advance for your consideration of these comments, and their incorporation into the recommended Plan updates.

Museum staff reports that they have no record or recollection of any public notice concerning this planning process. We collectively became aware of this process only in the last few business days. We understand that issues associated with prospective changes to north Newport Center entitlements have been under public review and discussion for some months, or at least since some time in October. OCMA has no desire to hold up the pace of the current process. At the same time, it is OCMA's desire to have their interest duly noted, and to become involved. OCMA hopes that a way can be identified to accommodate its involvement and in a manner that does not compromise the relevant timetable. Yours truly, 4(4 Craig W.

(See attached aerial of the property outlined in red.) We are undertaking a major effort to begin the entitlement of the property for a mixed use development of residential, office, retail and possibly a hotel all of which will be replacement development. Because we have been made aware of the Land Use Element Amendment process currently underway, we recognize that it is important to insure the adequacy of the residential units in this Statistical Area, L4. We are also aware of a number of residential projects currently being prepared for submittal to the city. As a result, we are hereby requesting your support for an increase of 700 units to the current unit cap. This request does not include any increase in the number of trips to accommodate the proposed development at this time. As you know, Lyon Communities has been located in Newport Beach for over 25 years. Many Lyon Communities employees both work and live within the City, so you can be well aware of our commitment to making sure that any of our proposals utilize the most current and high-level planning concepts while maintaining Newport Beach's unrivaled quality of life. We appreciate your review of this request and look forward to a positive recommendation to the LUE Amendment Committee. We thank you for your efforts to work with us to address this important opportunity. cerely, an T.

Currently we have a 14,000 sq. ft. building on this site and it is being used as office space. I understand that there are going to be some changes proposed for a General Plan Amendment for the City of Newport Beach that will affect various sites in Newport Center, I would respectfully request that I, as the property owner, be given the consideration for (1) an increased allotment of square footage for expansion and (2) for a potential change of use, which could include retail or other services, such as restaurants and commercial occupancy. I know this is a complicated program and there are many moving parts and that inevitably it will probably require a traffic study and City vote, but it is very apparent to me that my location is potentially underutilized and the City of Newport Beach might benefit from a zone change, and I could certainly utilize the additional square footage as well. I thank you for your consideration.

From: Paul Watkins [mailto:paul@lawfriend.com] Sent: Saturday, September 14, 2013 11:43 AM To: Ramirez, Gregg Cc: Brandt, Kim; Wisneski, Brenda Subject: RE: Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee Agenda Packet Hi Gregg: I wanted to pass along a few thoughts/questions concerning the package for the meeting next Tuesday, September 17: (1) Attachment 2 (Ardell Property): The information provided is very helpful. I note that no land use changes are recommended at this time. On reflection, did the property owner choose not to request land use changes for the time being? Yes (2) Airport Area Discussion Paper 2 "A" (The Hangars): Should this title read "The Hangars"? Yes, the spelling is wrong. (3) Airport Area Discussion Paper 2 "A" (The Hangars) Property Location: Should this reference be to "Westerly Place"? Yes, it should be Place, not Plan (4) Airport Area Discussion Paper 2 "A" (The Hangars) LUEAC Option 3: Is it the recommendation of staff that all "saved" trips totaling 342 trips be allocated to The Hangars site? Is it possible that other sites under consideration or to be considered by the Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee will require an allocation of trips and, if so, should some trips be reserved for that possibility until all sites are fully vetted? (Perhaps the Committee has now considered all potential opportunity sites in which case the staff's recommendation may be appropriate.) This is the recommendation to the Committee. We have received other requests since the publication of the agenda material that the Committee may want to consider. (5) Airport Area Discussion Paper 2 "B" (Coastal Gateway Overlay Zoning (Saunders Properties)) Property Location: Should this reference "Dove Street"? Yes, another typographic error. 1 (6) Airport Area Discussion Paper 2 "B" (Coastal Gateway Overlay Zoning (Saunders Properties)) LUEAC Options: Do you know if the property owner would favorably consider Option 4 which would grant the applicant the proposed land use designation with a condition precedent that the applicant first obtain reduced trips from other sites in the City or Airport Area which at least match the increased trips generated from the proposed land use designation? The property owner or representative will be at the meeting and may be able to address that question. Thanks, Gregg. See you Tuesday. Best regards and have a great weekend, Paul Paul K.

From: Patrick Strader f mailto: PSClstarpointeventures.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 9:30 AM To: Wisneski, Brenda Cc: Tim Strader Jr.; john@@spcnb.com Subject: Saunders Properties Brenda, Please share this email with the Committee today. Thank you for taking the time to further discuss the properties which have commonly been referred to as the "Saunders Properties" at the important gateway to the City of Newport Beach. Through the process, which Mr. Saunders has been participating in from the beginning, we have attempted to refine the proposal in order to fit within the planning process the City is currently undertaking. It is important to note again that a General Plan Update is not a short term or a small focus document, but rather a long term and general focus document which must look at the Airport proposals as part of a comprehensive look at the City's evolution. The City Council was clear in their direction at the Study Session that these proposals should be considered as part of this undertaking. Based upon the sensitivity expressed by Staff regarding the total number of trips proposed by the Saunders Properties and, with a nod to the likelihood of near term redevelopment, Mr. Saunders is willing to further refine his request in the following ways: 1. By drawing an imaginary line through the block along Corinthian Way and limiting the proposal to the block North of this line (which lowers the affected area from approximately 26 acres to 19 acres and which takes into account the long-term ownership of those southern properties by car rental companies as well as the likelihood of redevelopment in the near term). 2. With a request to amend the Zoning to MU-H2 to allow for the mixed -use, live -work plan consisting of office, retail/restaurant/ and residential. 3. By lowering the request to an FAR of 1.0 for these remaining acres (with a trip reduction of almost % of the number of ADT trips) and by lowering the request to 329 units of residential (again with a trip reduction of almost % of the number of ADT trips), the overall proposal is reduced by almost half. The residential would again, be limited to the area outside of the 65CNEL noise contour lines and is based on a density of roughly 50 du/ac. For the acreage which falls within the block, but outside of the noise lines. Other sites within the AELUP have included residential in close proximity to the airport and this site is screened by several buildings per the FAA requirements. 4. These reductions in trip count would bring the total to less than 5,000 ADT trips, however, two things are important to note, first, that the trips may come from excess trips within the City of Newport Beach (i.e. R2 1 zoned areas of the City with very little likelihood of more than single family occupancy and excess studied trips and/or units in the airport area) resulting in net traffic neutrality. Second, and most important, CEQA studies impacts and impacts are based on peak hour trips. Applying only ADT as a basis for reviewing Mr. Saunders proposal ignores the obvious benefits of locating apartments near jobs and commercial and fails to account for the "trip capture" which traffic engineers agree occurs when trips which would have had to originate or end from elsewhere are consolidated. As the policymakers have clearly stated, these proposals should be analyzed and then reviewed after the impacts or lack thereof are known. Please also consider this a request for any "unused" trips or units to be allocated to this project as available. This is an important project for the long term vision of the City of Newport Beach as well as the specific airport area and should be given due consideration as part of this General Plan Update. Based on the foregoing reasons, Mr. Saunders requests that these proposals be included in the study undertaken by the City and that Staff continue to work with Mr. Saunders to further refine this request based upon General Plan assumptions. Unfortunately, I cannot be at the meeting this afternoon due to a previously scheduled conflicting meeting, but my partner, Tim Strader, Jr. will be present should the Committee have any questions about this proposal.

To: Subject: Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee ADDITIONAL MATERIALS RECEIVED - APRIL 1, 2014 From: Paul Watkins [mailto:paul@lawfriend.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2014 8:06 AM To: Ramirez, Gregg Cc: Wisneski, Brenda; Brandt, Kim Subject: Agenda Packet for April 1, 2014 Meeting of Newport Beach Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee Hi Gregg: I had a chance to look at the Agenda, Minutes from February 4, 2014, Chapter 14 Glossary, Environmental Review Findings, and Land Use Element Amendment Recommendations for our meeting scheduled for Tuesday, April 1 at 2:30 PM in the Friends Room. If it's OK, I wanted to pass along the following thoughts: (I) Agenda: (1) Under II.1., was the word "test" inadvertently included? (II) Minutes of the February 4, 2014 Meeting: (1) Under II, I believe the comments to the January meeting came from "Watkins and Jim Mosher". (2) Page 2, "Public Comment", third paragraph, line 3: please change "fpr" to "for" (3) Page 2, first "Action": please change the language to read: "The substitute motion was unanimously approved." (4) Under IV, Page 3, last "Public Comment": please correct the spelling of "approval". Under V, line 1: Please correct the first three words to read: "Gary Pickett recommended". (5) (III) Chapter 14 Glossary: (1) befinition of "Climate Change": please revise this definition to read as follows: "Possible increased average temperatures over the past several decades resulting in possible reduction in snowpack coverage, possible reduction in water runoff and supply, possible drier vegetative cover, and possible sea rise." In my view, the Glossary for our City's General Plan should remain politically neutral. The term "Climate Change" seems to polarize folks; maybe it's best to "qualify" parts of the proposed definition until there is more universal acceptance 1 of the components of "Climate Change", e.g., increased temperatures, sea rise, etc. (2) Definition of "Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG)": please revise this definition to read as follows: "Heat -trapping gases including water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and ozone (03). The primary source of GHG emissions is the combustion of fossil fuels." In my view, the Glossary for our City's General Plan should remain politically neutral and should not include such statements as "Scientists have concluded that human activities are contributing to global climate change by adding large amounts of heat trapping gasses [sic] ...." (3) Definition of "Greenhouse Gas Emission (GHG) Reduction": please revise this definition to read: "The California Air Resources Board (CARB) established regional targets for the reduction of GHG emissions in compliance with Senate Bill 375. These were incorporated in the Orange County Sustainable Communities Strategy (OCSCS), developed as a sub -area component of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)SCS. While SB 375 and the OCSCS do not regulate land in Newport Beach, Newport Beach is obligated to comply with applicable laws including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)." In my view, the simple reference to Newport's obligation to comply with applicable GHG laws (including CEQA) is sufficient for our City's General Plan Glossary. GHG regulation is fast moving on the statutory and case law fronts. It seems to me that rather than trying to set forth in a definition the details of current evolving regulations in a Glossary that may have a 20-year life, we should simply indicate that the City's policy makers will comply with applicable Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction laws (including CEQA) in effect at the time they make a decision on a project. (4) Definition of "Sustainability": I think the definition can be simplified without the reference to "the guiding principle for long term global development". How about simply borrowing from the World Commission on Environment and Development as follows (and slightly adding to it): "Sustainability--Development that meets the needs of the present without unreasonably compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable development seeks to achieve, in a balanced manner, economic development, social development, and environmental protection." As previously indicated, the Glossary for our City's General Plan should remain politically neutral and I would refrain from references to a guiding principle for global development. (IV) Implementation Program Addendum: 2 Do you know when the actual "Climate Action Plan" will be proposed for the City? Can you please direct me to where I can review the City's already -adopted Energy Action Plan? (V) Land Use Changes: Will the public be able to give input on the Draft Supplemental EIR including Section 5.11 Transportation and Traffic? (VI) Policy Amendments: No comments. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Thanks, Gregg. Best regards, Paul Paul K.
