Mr. Webb then conducted a review of the five rec mendations of the Public Works Department, as se forth in.the.Staff Report. He further elaborate regarding Recommendation No. 1, on the San Joaqu Hills Transportation Corridor, stating considera tions: a) The Transportation Corridor would begi at MacArthur Boulevard and Bonita Cany Road and travel inland through San Joa qui,n Hills area, and eventually meet t San Diego Freeway somewhere in the vic nity of Crown Valley Parkway, and woul split the area between the San Diego Freeway and Pacific Coast Highway. b) With the incorporation of the Transpor tation Corridor, there is a projection 54,000 cars per day along Coast Highwa whereas without the Transportation Cor ridor, the projection is 84,000 cars p day. c) Without the incorporation of the Corri traffic would be forced to use Coast H way or the San Diego Freeway. -3- i I MINUTES INDEX i fd I )m- t d in n Dn he i- d 0 Y, er do r{, i9 COMMISSIONERS Z City of Newport Beach February 22, 1979 ROLL CALL Mr. Webb then discussed Recommendation No. 2 re- garding the Corona del Mar Freeway, informing the Planning Commission that the State is completing frontage road project along Bristol from Universi Drive North /MacArthur Boulevard to Newport Freewa Corona del Mar Freeway. He further related that this frontage road would extend from Campus Drive via a ramp to the Corona del Mar Freeway, and its ultimate connection with the Newport Freeway and .San Diego Freeway. Mr. Webb stated his feelings relevant to the necessity of the Freeway to accom date the traffic.projections for the area. He fu ther expressed the necessity of the Freeway const ction to tie into the proposed San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor.. Mr. Webb further expres ed that in the review of a circulation .element of 'this nature, the Public Works Department has as y been unable to go into sufficient detail regardir all the intersections in Newport Beach or to pro - 'perly study all alternatives available for a part cular intersection, including an analysis of en- vironmental impact for the roadways themselves.. �. Mr. Webb nex.t stated that Recommendation No 4, c 'Jamboree /Coast Highway and San Joaquin Hills Roac MacArthur /Avocado, included two alternates in ad- dition to several others that have been mentionec that should be reviewed in the environmental. pro - cess for these roadways. He concurred that Coast (Highway would be involved in an extensive enviror mental assessment regarding its widening from foL to six lanes, including other alternatives.. He 'then described the "at- grade" and "grade- separati intersection alternatives, as mentioned in Recom- mendation No. 4, for Jamboree and Coast Highway: a) The "at- grade" intersection would requi four lanes in each direction on Coast Highway with a double left -turn lane or Jamboree Road and a double left -turn It both ways on Coast Highway. Also requ' ed to accommodate the heavy left turn r is the Back.Bay Bypass, a circular roa( starting 1,000 feet down from Jamboree Road to tie into Jamboree. b) The "grade- separated" alternative wouli low Coast Highway to travel level over Jamboree Road and drop down, with a ra of Coast Highway 10 feet above the cen- MINUTES a ty Y/ th o- r- ru s- et 9 i- n , r on re to .ne r- 1ov I I al se :er INDEX COMMISSIONERS City of Newport Beach February 22, 1979 ROLL CALL of the existing intersection-and a dror of Jamboree Road approximately 10 feet to provide clearance, providing also three through lanes in each direction c Coast Highway. It additionally would i cilitate left turn movements and would interrupt traffic only on Jamboree Roac and would not impede the heavier traffi on Coast Highway. Approximately 73% of the vehicles going through the intersec tion would pass through without a trafi signal interruption, which would greatl assist general movement of traffic up a down Coast Highway. c) A modification of the "grade- separated" alternative would separate only the wes bound movement, allowing the eastbound highway to continue through at grade ar join Jamboree Road. He expressed his concern about the inferior t afi :service involved with the above - mentioned modifi( ition at Coast Hwy. and Jamboree, and the diffi icu :with the I.C.U. of .9 at.this intersection, also pending this modification. He conveyed that Pub.l Works has not completed an extensive design study to determine precise cost estimates and noise pre !dictions. He further stated that at the present time, cost benefit data is not available to displ ifull design, quantity figures and precise cost es itimates, and that there may be modifications to t !study that would be more acceptable, both monetar and to the general public that would result from more extensive reviews. 'Mr. Webb then communicated possible alternatives the Avocado /MacArthur /San Joaquin Hill's A igarding intersection, referring to the maps in the Staff Port: a) An Avocado split apart from MacArthur southerly of San Joaquin Hills Road. b) An Avocado split apart from MacArthuir northerly of San.Joaquin Hills Road.' Mr. Webb further described these two alternatives that would provide a "grade- separation" of MacArt _5- MINUTES INDEX n a- c is y nd t- d is a It is ay hi it re oa Re hu COMMISSIONERS City of Newport Beach February 22, 1979 ROIL CALL - Boulevard and San Joaquin Hills Road and would propose that San Joaquin Hills Road be held at !grade, providing an underpass, and drop MacArthur Boulevard north of San Miguel, going under San .Joaquin and rejoining the frontage road halfway !between San Joaquin Hills Road and Ford Road. TI would allow heavy left turn movement from San Mi- ;guel to MacArthur at the same time the MacArthur move occurs, allowing only through traffic to be interrupted, providing a workable intersection. c) A third alternative would provide a log ramp left turn move around and under S Joaquin Hills Road, allowing MacArthur Boulevard northbound to go through the intersection without confronting a del for the left turn move, further delayii San Joaquin Hills Road traffic. "Mr. Webb then reminded the Planning Commission tl the nature of these items require a more adequate discussion in a preliminary engineering study ac the Environmental Assessment, and he companying pressed his concern that these alternatives not .ruled out at this early stage of the study. In conclusion, Mr. Webb addressed Recommendation No'. 5, requesting that the decision regarding th ;future of University Drive between Irvine Avenue ,and Jamboree Road be based on an Environmental !Assessment which would :evaluate both the effects of the construction of the roadway as well as th effects on the surrounding roadways of the delet from the Circulation Element. In response to.a question from Commissioner Haid .finger, Mr. Webb communicated his uncertainty re- garding the completion date for the construction the Transportation Corridor. In response to a. .;second question from Commissioner Haidinger, Mr. !Webb stated that Public Works would like the en- lvironmenta.l process to begin immediately, And th :decisions regarding Jamboree Road /Coast Highway !alternatives would need to be made within the ne .1� years, and that decisions on the MacArthur ,Boulevard /Avocado Road alternative were not quit as imminent.

It was also further noted that the County's previous response to this study was tha the request for the discussion and an environmen document was premature. In response to .a second :question by Commissioner McLaughlin, Mr. Webb fu ther concurred that the environmental assessment preceeds an E.I.R., that both are required precE ing any action, and that both.would in all likel hood be both extensive and expensive, the expens due to the need for an extensive public review p cess, in which are prepared as many different cc struction alternatives as possible, including pL lic hearings, cost of which .would primarily be borne by the City. .Commissioner Agee expressed his concern relativE the seriousness of the decision and the large cc involved. • ` ;Commissioner Beek pointed out that the circulati :system study which is underway will develop datz the effect on the surrounding streets of buildir or not building University Drive; therefore, the bulk of the work for the environmental document be completed by the time the document.is needed. In response to questions by Commissioners Cokas and Haidinger, Mr. Webb gave the assurance that volumes discussed were one -way volumes rather tt two -way volumes. He further.clarified that the pacity figures reflected a major cross- section, suming the build -out designation in the capacity not including the capacity of the existing cyst( as it is today, but as proposed in the Master P1 :demonstrating average daily traffic figures ratt than peak traffic figures. :Commissioner Frederickson introduced a comment, pressing his understanding that there would be :more specific plan presented.to the City Counci' including definite.street configurations and in' changes, including an E.I.R., as opposed to the concepts presently under discussion. •v i i -7- MINUTES in, ss s ou d t to r- ed i- e ro n- b- st on 0 9 wi iW an Ca as M an ier ex i :er 11 INDEX COMMISSIONERS City. of Newport Beach February 22, 1979 ROLL CALL :Commissioner Cokas stated that his understandipq was that they were to assess the traffic plan as 'currently presented, and thereafter determine the capacity and adjust the densities to coincide wii ,the traffic plan. :Commissioner Haidinger then relayed his observati ;that the only areas not reasonably close to the 'circulation system meeting traffic requirements t 'the Corona del Mar Freeway and two segments of Ni .port Boulevard on the peninsula. The public hearing. was opened in connection with ;this item and Jeff Georgevich, Executive Director of the Friends of the Irvine Coast, appeared befc :the Planning Commission to express his opposition 'to the staff's recommendation that the Commission :endorse the idea of the San Joaquin Hills Corridc 'due to the specific concern that the San Joaquin ;Hills Corridor would cut through the center of an area currently being considered as a national urt :park. He further stated his feeling that the con • ridor would never be completed, due to the fundin need of $500,000,000 for the project. He.stated ;that the Federal Government and Caltrans make no provision for it, and it would necessarily be paid for by taxpayers. He further concur .County 'that Spyglass Hill, Harbor View Hills area would ':severely impacted by noise and air pollution. M1 ;Georgevich then proposed several alternate route! .that would allow a through system for Newport Bei without allowing existing regional traffic to rui through, including a suggested eventual,use.of a Mass Transit System. Commissioner McLaughlin expressed her concern re. ;garding the fact that .Santa Ana Freeway and San. (Diego Freeway are already at capacity, and that I ':.definite preference would be an alternate througl 'freeway. In response to a question by Commissioner McLaugl ilin, Mr. Georgevich stated that the Laguna.

Mr. Georgevich also ;conveyed their intention to bypass the Corona del ;Mar area with the Corona del Mar Freeway down to !Culver or out San Canyon, traveling around the Corona del.Mar area either onto Pacific Coast Hi( :way or San Diego Freeway. :Margo Skilling appeared before the Planning Comm! sion to comment regarding the "grade- separated" tersections.

She stated her views as to the distr< .ing .. tion of this project to the residential atmospher of the area, and she asked that the Planning Comn sion take this into consideration. :Debra Allen then appeared before the Planning Con mission to present a question regarding the Tran< portation Corridor. Her question involved the or gin of the 80,000 to 90,000 estimated .trips per c figure presented in the traffic study, to which I Webb responded that the figure was taken from the ,model studies, including the 50,000 downcoast de- velopment. She further stated on behalf of Harbc View Hills residents her concern regarding the strong endorsement of a one -way couplet for Avoce and MacArthur. She further stated her feelings r levant to the undesirability of the underpass cor cepts for San Joaquin and MacArthur and the pre - ferability of the present Master Plan, due to the undesirable freeway atmosphere, the high cost, ar the visual obstruction.

In response to a question by Commissioner Cokas, ;Bill Dye, Public Works Engineer, informed the :Plan - 'ning Commission that the inadequately detailed', quantified analysis was due to the necessity to de- vote time to analyze all intersections, and refine 'traffic projections, and he further assured the Planning Commission that when model studies are • complete, there will be sufficient data to make an immediate initial determination. Commissioner Beek offered as a point of view the possible requirement by the Traffic Phasing Ordi- nance to produce a Circulation Element which is suf ficiently clear to Permit the calculation of I.C.U.'s. He expressed his belief that no res:ults would be obtained from the traffic.model for about a year.
