by staff on the following sites: Block 600; PCH/
Jamboree Road; Corporate Plaza West; Big Canyon/
MacArthur Boulevard; Newporter North; and the deletion
of the Avocado Avenue/MacArthur Boulevard Couplet.
Ms. Temple stated that The Irvine Company is in basic
agreement with some suggested modifications on the
sites as follows:
Fashion Island: The Irvine Company requested a slight-
ly greater increase in the retail and theater develop-
ment than .what was originally recommended by staff.
The Irvine Company has requested an additional 60,000
square feet of retail and commercial development and a
total of 2,500 theater seats. Ms. Temple stated that
the staff reviewed the request and feels that the
expansion of Fashion Island is a community benefit, and
that staff is recommending approval of The Irvine
Company's additional request.
• Civic Plaza Expansion: The Irvine Company has indicat-
ed that in order to accommodate the expansion of the
Art Museum and the City Library, that an additional
15,000 square feet be added to their original 50,000
square feet. Ms. Temple stated that the staff is in
agreement if the total additional 65,000 square feet is
used for the Art Museum and the City Library expansion.
Newport Village: The Irvine Company is in general
agreement with the change in land use from commercial,
office, and retail to residential, and is recommended
by the staff. The Irvine Company has requested that
Corporate Plaza be increased to 84,800 square feet,
totalling 450,000 square feet which was the original
planned development of Corporate Plaza. The Irvine
Company has indicated 80,000 square feet will be
utilized for an athletic or health club. Ms. Temple
stated that if a limitation to this use is agreed to by
The Irvine Company, the staff is in agreement with this
request.
Avocado Avenue/MacArthur Boulevard: The Irvine Company
agrees with staff's recommendation and has made an
additional request to accommodate a 10,000 square foot
day care facility. Ms. Temple stated that staff is in
• I ( I I agreement that an establishment of a use of this nature
is appropriate within Newport Center, and that the
location is acceptable.
WC
Ms. Temple stated that The Irvine Company disagrees
with the staff recommendations on three sites:
Block 800: The Irvine Company has indicated opposition
to the proposed deletion of 140,000 square feet. Ms.
Temple stated that staff maintains that the intensity
of use is out of scale with adjacent areas, and that
staff continues to recommend the maximum 300,000 square
feet.
Bayview Landing: The Irvine Company disagrees with the
reduction to 20,000 square feet of restaurant use with
the limitation to the lower site level only, and is
requesting instead of the original 60,000 square feet,
a development of 35,000 square feet which would allow
approximately four facilities with construction to be
allowed on the upper site level as well as the lower
site level. The Irvine Company would agree to develop
a view park in conjunction with the project. Ms.
Temple stated that the staff has reviewed the proposal
and feels that the site's development potential is
limited, and maintains that public viewing is a
significant benefit to the community. Ms. Temple
further stated that staff's request has been revised
from 20,000 square feet to 25,000 square feet to allow
approximately three restaurant facilities, and that the
site could accommodate the proposed teen center.
Affordable Housing: Ms. Temple stated that staff has
received some indication of tentative agreement;
however, staff has not received a firm indication as to
what would be an acceptable affordable housing program
from The Irvine Company. Ms. Temple stated that since
there is nothing to respond to that staff will continue
to maintain the original recommendation.
Land Use Phasing: The Irvine Company believes that
staff's requirement of 800 dwelling units under con-
struction by the time of occupancy of the Block 600
project was filled is too stringent; however, The
Irvine Company did not indicate what would be an
acceptable program. Ms. Temple stated that staff will
continue to maintain the former recommendation with the
exception that any of the residential projects would
fulfill the requirement.

Phasing. Ms. Temple stated that The Irvine Company
requests that the Jamboree Road dedications occur early
with construction completed as an adjacent improvement
of Newporter North. Ms. Temple stated that staff has
reviewed the request and is in agreement. In refer-
ence to San Joaquin Hills Road, Ms. Temple stated that
The Irvine Company has requested that this segment not
be incorporated into the circulation system phasing
program, but they have indicated that they will pursue
construction of the road as soon as possible. Ms.
Temple stated that staff would agree to the change so
long as all dedication and bonding for construction be
accomplished in the previously suggested phase.
Ms. Temple pointed out that the supplemental staff
report addresses questions previously asked by the
Planning Commission, and that the revised Resolution
incorporates the changes in the staff recommendations
and additional language requested by some members of
the Planning Commission. Those recommendations include
recommending initiation of Amendments to the..
Circulation Element for MacArthur Boulevard northerly
of Ford Road, and San Joaquin Hills Road easterly of
Spyglass Hills Road, instead of acting on these
amendments at this time. Ms. Temple stated that in
response to community concerns, staff developed
additional language regarding the phasing of MacArthur
Boulevard improvements. She stated that staff
maintains its position that the six lane major arterial
roadway designation and the requirement for the con-
struction very early in the phasing program is the most
appropriate and desirable from a technical standpoint;
however, staff has provided some language which would
allow the specific segment between Harbor View Drive
and the extended centerline of Crown Drive to be
deferred to some point in the future subject to
specific criteria.
Mr. Roger Seitz, The Irvine Company, appeared before
the Planning Commission regarding the proposed land-
scaping of MacArthur Boulevard from East Coast Highway
to the intersection of the Corona del Mar Freeway and
the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor. Mr.
Seitz stated that The Irvine Company wants to convey
that MacArthur Boulevard is an important entry to the
• City and should be treated in a way that introduces
visitors and residents in an organized and environ-
mentally pleasing manner. He further stated that The
Irvine Company has developed a concept that envisions
MacArthur Boulevard as a completed and totally land-
scaped and inviting entry into the City. Mr. Seitz

explained that Zone 1 includes the San Joaquin Hills
Transportation Corridor interchange and would require
low maintenance, drought- tolerant plant material; Zone
2, Bison Avenue to Ford Road would reflect the same
type of landscaping currently at Belcourt; Zone 3, Ford
Road to San Joaquin Hills.Road, would have a broad open
space area such as meadows and drought - tolerant
landscaping; Zone 4, San Joaquin Hills Road to East
Coast Highway. He said that the landscaping would
include eucalyptus trees in the inland region to the
pine trees in the coastal region. Mr. Seitz described
how the intersections at MacArthur Boulevard will have
palm trees and tropical planting that is occurring at
Belcourt and at Newport Center. He said that
consistent median planting would unify MacArthur
Boulevard. Mr. Seitz explained that The Irvine Company
is interested in pursuing the landscape plan with the
Planning Commission and staff, develop the landscape
concept and then dedicate the landscaped land to the
City.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Person
regarding the annual cost of maintaining the landscap-
ing, Mr. Seitz replied that the estimated maintenance
cost would be from $70,000.00 to $90,000.00. Chairman
Person stated that assuming the land would be developed
and dedicated, the City would maintain the property.
Mr. Seitz replied that the major investment would be to
install and establish the landscaping, and that the
idea is to have a drought tolerant, low maintenance
environment.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Koppelman regarding the square footage of the 245
dwelling units proposed for General Plan Amendment
80 -3, in Block 800, Ms. Temple replied that based on
2,000 square feet for each dwelling unit, the size of
the project would have been approximately 500,000
square feet. Commissioner Koppelman asked if the
recommended teen center at Bayview Landing is a
different land use designation than the
restaurant /commercial use. Ms. Temple replied that the
teen center is a restaurant /night club operation, and
would be considered a retail commercial land use
similar in nature to the restaurants proposed for the
site.
Mr. David Neish, Urban Assist, Inc., appeared before
the Planning Commission representing The Irvine Compa-
ny. Mr. Neish explained that the areas of differences

of opinion are limited in number between the staff and
The Irvine Company, and that The Irvine Company has
tried to be flexible in working with staff and the
community in trying to achieve the goals of these
bodies, and that some significant changes have been
made to the proposed Plan that The Irvine Company has
agreed to. He commented that the desire of The Irvine
Company is to end up with a Plan which they feel is
feasible from a land use standpoint as well as from a
financial standpoint.
Mr. Neish - commented that Newport Center has been
developed during the past twenty years and that the
Master Plan for Newport Center is nearly completed. He
explained that the mixed land use concept has been
preserved, and that the intensity of Newport Center has
been reduced. Mr. Neish stated that the office compo-
nent of the Plan was established and has been imple-
mented as a key component of the Plan. Mr. Neish
explained that because the property is under one
ownership, The Irvine Company was able to provide a
relatively completed circulation and utility
infra - structure for Newport Center from the outset.
Mr. Neish commented that these reasons are important to
consider as part of the proposal. Mr. Neish addressed
the areas of disagreement as follows:
-8-
Block 800: The office space requested is critical to
the proposal and Mr. Neish opined that everyone agrees
with the land use for the site, that the addition of
the high quality mid -rise office space is important in
order to support the retail vitality of Fashion Island
as well as the retention of the existing tenants
needing expanded space, and the attraction of new
tenants to broaden the range of services available in
the Newport Center complex. He pointed out that the
site is a key financial component to The Irvine Company
that enables commitment to transportation improvements
and the affordable housing that are being requested.
Mr. Neish commented that the site is physically suited
for the amount and type of office space proposed. He
pointed out that the only question is the intensity,
and that staff is proposing a reduction of 140,000
square feet. He said that when considering the entire
General Plan Proposal, Newport Center is less dense
than any comparable development within Orange County.
He said that staff is not requesting a change in a
footprint to the two buildings proposed, but the
elimination of approximately three stories per tower.

Mr. Roger Seitz reappeared before the Planning Commis-
sion. Mr. Seitz pointed out the characteristics of the
site at the model and advised that there would be two
20,000 square foot office building footprints and a
parking structure. He said that 20 percent of the site
would be occupied by the buildings, 35 percent would be
occupied by the parking structure, and the remaining 45
percent would be open space. He said that the
buildings are approximately eleven stories. Mr. Seitz
explained that the upper end of Newport Center contains
the tall buildings and the base of the circle contains
the one and two story buildings. Mr. Seitz referred to
the impact of the buildings and pointed out the
adjacent golf course and the views.
Newport Village: Mr. Neish stated that 345,000 square
feet of office space and 60,000 square feet of retail
space were proposed for Newport Village before The
Irvine Company agreed to change to residential use.
Mr. Neish pointed out that the elimination of the
square footage has had significant financial implica-
tions to The Irvine Company. He said that they intend
to attempt to provide 560 residential units; however,
some of the constraints associated with the project
such as setbacks, access provisions and the noise
mitigations may not make it feasible to provide 560
units.
Bayview Landing: The plan originally proposed 60,000
square feet of retail on the site, the request was
modified to 35,000 square feet, and staff is recommend-
ing 25,000 square feet, 10,000 square feet less than
The Irvine Company desires. Mr. Neish pointed out that
staff's main concern is the construction of any devel-
opment on the upper level of the pad, adjacent to East
Coast Highway, in order to maintain public views of
Upper Newport Bay from the upper level.
Mr. Roger Seitz reappeared before the Planning Commis-
sion. Mr. Seitz commented. that 60,000 square feet
represented six restaurant sites on the Bayview Landing
property; however, when the concerns were raised

and the right -of -way requirements, The Irvine Company
realized that it was not realistic to think of six
sites but rather four sites. He said that The Irvine
Company was also very cognizant of the view potential.
Mr. Seitz pointed out the model photos and described
the view of the Upper Bay, the view from the restau-
rants, the parking area, view park, and bike trails.
He said that the proposed plan includes approximately
34,000 square feet, and that the non - utilized portion
of the site is roughly thirty percent of the entire
site.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Person
regarding what the thirty percent represents, Mr. Seitz
explained that. the view park represents six percent;
the bluff represents ten percent; and the bike path
represents fifteen percent. Mr. Seitz confirmed
Chairman Person's comment that the parking and building
site would cover seventy percent of the site.
Commissioner Goff commented that the model photos show
access from East Coast Highway and from Jamboree Road.
Mr. Seitz stated that the access would be across from
Promontory Point on East Coast Highway, and
ingress /egress from Jamboree Road and Back Bay Drive.
Donald Webb, City Engineer, explained the possible,
ingress and egress from East Coast Highway and Jamboree
Road and the problems that could occur, and he con-
firmed Chairman Person's remark that it is difficult to
determine the ingress /egress of the site at this time.
Commissioner Koppelman asked Mr. Webb that if the in-
gress /egress from East Coast Highway and Jamboree Road
accesses are not possible, is the entrance at Back Bay
Drive sufficient to carry the traffic generated. Mr.
Webb replied that the intersection of Back Bay Drive
and Jamboree Road will be 'signalized and that there
would be sufficient capacity on Back Bay Drive to
accommodate the Dunes and the proposed project.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Person
regarding the status of the development of the Dunes,
Mr. Hewicker replied that plans are going forward to
develop the Dunes.
Commissioner Turner stated his concern regarding the
impact of traffic on Back Bay Drive going through the
ecological reserve. Mr. Webb pointed out that Back Bay
Drive is a one -way road and that there is an assumption
that there will not be an impact of traffic.

INDEX
Westbay: The Irvine Company believes that the elimina-
tion of residential development is not related to the
planning issues pertinent to Newport Center and would
suggest that future discussions with the City and with
the County over the feasibility of establishing an
Upper Bay Regional Park would be the appropriate time
to address the site.
Mr. James Parker, attorney, 5000 Campus Drive, appeared
before the Planning Commission in support of the
proposed Plan and Block 800 expansion requested by The
Irvine Company. Mr. Parker explained the economic
relationship of the developer /consumer costs of
infrastructure. He said that the office space pays for
the infra - structure improvements which benefit
residential uses that are adjacent to Newport Center
and would keep homebuyer costs down.
Ms. Audrey Moe, Corona del Mar, appeared before the
Planning Commission representing the Natural History
• Foundation of Orange County. Ms. Moe explained why the
Newporter North site should be considered a future site
for a Natural History Museum, specifically because of
the close proximity to the Art Museum and to the City
Library, that the Museum will be moving to an area
within Orange County, and that the Newporter North site
is an archeologically sensitive region.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Koppelman regarding the requested square footage of the
Natural History Museum, Ms. Moe replied that the first
phase would be 6,000 square feet, similar in size to
the facility that contains the Natural History Museum
currently in the Eastbluff area, and adequate room to
accommodate triple expansion.
In response to questions posed by Chairman Person
regarding other museum sites within the proposed
development of Newport Center, Ms. Moe advised that the

Westbay: The Irvine Company believes that the elimina-
tion of residential development is not related to the
planning issues pertinent to Newport Center and would
suggest that future discussions with the City and with
the County over the feasibility of establishing an
Upper Bay Regional Park would be the appropriate time
to address the site.
Mr. James Parker, attorney, 5000 Campus Drive, appeared
before the Planning Commission in support of the
proposed Plan and Block 800 expansion requested by The
Irvine Company. Mr. Parker explained the economic
relationship of the developer /consumer costs of
infrastructure. He said that the office space pays for
the infra - structure improvements which benefit
residential uses that are adjacent to Newport Center
and would keep homebuyer costs down.
Ms. Audrey Moe, Corona del Mar, appeared before the
Planning Commission representing the Natural History
• Foundation of Orange County. Ms. Moe explained why the
Newporter North site should be considered a future site
for a Natural History Museum, specifically because of
the close proximity to the Art Museum and to the City
Library, that the Museum will be moving to an area
within Orange County, and that the Newporter North site
is an archeologically sensitive region.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Koppelman regarding the requested square footage of the
Natural History Museum, Ms. Moe replied that the first
phase would be 6,000 square feet, similar in size to
the facility that contains the Natural History Museum
currently in the Eastbluff area, and adequate room to
accommodate triple expansion.
In response to questions posed by Chairman Person
regarding other museum sites within the proposed
development of Newport Center, Ms. Moe advised that the
ideal would be a Museum complex that would be conve-
nient for the public to visit. She stated that the
Natural History Museum could be located at either the
Newporter North site or the Civic Plaza site.

Mr. Mark Deven, Recreation Superintendent for the City
and staff liaison for the Youth Ad Hoc Committee. Mr.
Deven referred to the report that was previously
submitted to the Planning Commission from the Ad Hoc
Committee recommending consideration of the youth
restaurant /community facility previously referred to as
the "teen center" be accommodated at the proposed
Bayview Landing site either by the maximum square feet
indicated by staff, or the expansion or revision of the
maximum square feet which would allow the facility to
be included in addition to what has been already
proposed at the site. Mr. Deven stated that the
background of this particular issue is that on January
13, 1986, the Ad Hoc Committee that was previously

formed, was charged with the responsibility to
determine the feasibility. of a teen youth facility to
provide activities for the City's teenage high school
students, and for the possibility of other community
uses. He said that the Committee established and
looked at a number of alternatives to establishing a
facility, including the use of existing sites and the
development of a new site. He advised that it was the
consensus of the Committee that a new site would be
preferred, the operational concept was that a facility
could be made available to teenage students, mostly
from Newport Harbor High School and Corona del Mar High
School, and that the facility would need to be
accessible to both student bodies. He said that the
teen center would be utilized on weekend evenings, for
special events, and activities for youth, and that
daytime and week night uses would be for other
community organizations. Mr. Deven stated that in
addition to the operation concept they entered into
discussions with The Irvine Company in terms of how
such a facility could be established and could be
built. The Irvine Company responded by including the
facility in the proposed Bayview Landing site, which
was a site that was accessible to both high schools.
On April 21, 1986, The Irvine Company gave the Ad Hoc
Committee a proposal and following a study of the
proposal by the Committee with the assistance of the

responded with a counter - proposal which was submitted
to The Irvine Company on May 12, 1986. He stated that
the actions by the Planning Commission and The Irvine
Company are very critical in order for the Ad Hoc
Committee to make a determination of whether this
facility would be supplied by the City Council.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Turner,
Mr. Deven replied that the Youth Ad Hoc Committee is
requesting a 7,500 square foot to 10,000 square foot
site.
Ms. Luvena Hayton, Transportation Chairman of the
Corona del Mar Chamber of Commerce appeared before the
Planning Commission. Ms. Hayton read a letter dated
March 10, 1986, from the Corona del Mar Chamber of
Commerce to the Newport Beach City Council stating that
the Chamber of Commerce approves of the buildout of
Newport Center but only if Pelican Hill Road is con-
nected to San Joaquin Hills Road and in place before
the buildout. Ms. Hayton commented that the Chamber of
Commerce supports Newport Village as a residential
community. She cited the number of automobiles parked
at the State Beach south of Corona del Mar on a Sunday
afternoon, and how automobiles affect the "quality of
life" of the local residents. Ms. Hayton emphatically
stated that a time limit must be set to connect San
Joaquin Hills Road and Pelican Hill Road.
Mr. Tom Bay, 324 Marguerite Avenue, appeared before the
Planning Commission in support of the General Plan
Amendment. Mr. Bay stated that he serves on the
Newport Harbor Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors
and has heard several presentations given by The Irvine
Company concerning the traffic generated by the
buildout of Newport Center. Mr. Bay reasoned how the
construction of Pelican Hill Road will divert traffic
around Corona del Mar.
Ms. Deedee Masters, 140 Fernleaf Avenue, appeared
before the Planning Commission. Ms. Masters commented
that she approves that San Joaquin Hills Road is
recommended as a separate project from Pelican Hill
Road because there could be a delay in construction, or
litigation of the roadways. Ms. Masters pointed out
• how the traffic congestion has affected the maintenance
of the commercial property on East Coast Highway. She

stated that she approves of the subject General Plan

Road be connected to Pelican Hill Road so that the
traffic will not go through Corona del Mar's residen-
tial streets.
Ms. Bonnie Rohrer, Balboa Island, employer in Newport
Center, President of Newport Center Association,
appeared before the Planning Commission in support of
the General Plan Amendment. Ms. Rohrer stated that the
Newport Center Association enlisted a child care
consulting.group who took a survey and found there is a
need for a child care facility on -site with a minimum
capacity for 75 children. The survey concluded that
3,960 employees in Newport Center would have a future
need for child care. Ms. Rohrer said that the Newport
Center Association office has a copy of the findings on
file. Ms. Rohrer stated that The Irvine Company has
been very receptive to the need for a child care center
and has two sites presently under consideration, that
within the next few months The Irvine Company will
begin a request for proposals from child care
operations interested in the Newport Center project,
and that a list of ten private enterprises have shown
an interest in making a proposal. Ms. Rohrer commented
that Senator Marian Bergeson has sponsored a bill which
is presently in Committee that would add child care
centers to the list of approved projects for funding
using industrial development bonds. Ms. Rohrer stated
that as an employer of Newport Center she has lost a
competent staff due to the lack of affordable child
care.
In response to questions posed by Commissioner
Koppelman, Ms. Rohrer replied that the recommended
10,000 square feet recommended for a child care center
at the Avocado Avenue /MacArthur Boulevard site would be
adequate, and that she is only aware that another site
within Newport Center has been considered.
Mrs. Mary Westbrook, 2531 Blackthorne, appeared before
the Planning Commission in support of the day care
center. Mrs. Westbrook commented that she has been
investigating day care centers in Newport Beach because
she will be needing one soon, and she has found there
• 11111111 are long waiting lists. Mrs. Westbrook explained that
many of her fellow workers in Newport Center take their
children to day care centers throughout Orange County.

She said that the alternatives to day care centers
would be to have family members take care of the
children or to pay a high cost each week to have
someone come into the home. Mrs. Westbrook commented
that she would like to have a day care center near
where she is employed to enable her to be near her

Mr. Bill Hamilton, owner of the Cannery Restaurant,
President of the Newport Harbor Chamber of Commerce,
member of the Newport Beach Restaurant Association, and
a member of the Youth Ad Hoc Committee appeared before
the Planning Commission in support of the teen center
at the Bayview Landing site. Mr. Hamilton stated that
staff's recommendation of 25,000 square feet at the
Bayview Landing site equates to three restaurant sites;
however, Mr. Hamilton asked that 34,000 square feet be
considered to allow three restaurants for The Irvine
Company plus the teen center. He said that The Irvine
Company would help provide a more viable community and
I I I I I I teen center if there would be four sites instead of
three sites.
In response to questions posed by Chairman Person, Mr.
Hamilton replied that if three restaurants plus the
teen center would be approved then the teen center
would be twenty -five percent of the total site instead
of thirty -three percent of the total site as
recommended by staff, and then the teen center would be
in a better position to deal with The Irvine Company.
He said that the Bayview Landing site is what is needed
for the youth center to work. Mr. Hamilton further
replied that The Cannery Restaurant is approximately
9,000 square feet and that the teen center would be
about the same size.
Mr. Ted Fuller, 2522 Vista Drive, member of the Board
of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce, appeared
before the Planning Commission in support of the

automobile wash that was constructed in 1968, and the
Beacon Bay Building that was constructed in 1972. He
pointed out that he built the facilities not only for
economic reasons but because of the discreet signing,
landscaping, and construction program The Irvine
Company was putting into Newport Center at that time.
He said that through the years the program has been
followed well and he would like to see the project
completed. Mr. Shea commended the staff and The Irvine
Company for the concessions made on both sides, and the
wide flexibility of facilities proposed for Newport
Center.
The Planning Commission recessed at 9:05 p.m. and
reconvened at 9:18 p.m.
Mr. Taylor Grant, 1985 Port Edward Circle, appeared
before the Planning Commission in support of The Irvine
Company's original plan. Mr. Grant opined that the
traffic coming through Newport Beach on East Coast
Highway and MacArthur Boulevard is to avoid the con-
gestion of the San Diego Freeway, and that while the
adjacent cities have chosen to grow we have been left
with some of the traffic that should be generated on
the San Diego Freeway. Mr. Grant stated that Pelican
Hill Road would reduce the traffic on MacArthur
Boulevard from South Orange County. He commented that
the Environmental Impact Report states that there will
be congestion in 2010 no matter what is developed in
Newport Center unless Pelican Hill Road is constructed
as an alternative, and, furthermore, the traffic impact
will be influenced more by the growth beyond the City's
control. Mr. Grant stated his approval of the widening
of MacArthur Boulevard, and the long term objective for
the City. He asked that recreation potentials adjacent
to Harbor View Homes be examined. Mr. Grant cited that
Newport Center contributes 10.2 percent of the City's
revenue, while only using 5.8 percent of that as costs,
meaning that Newport Center provides many dollars for
the City. He pointed out that if the original proposed
Plan would be approved, an excess of $1.2 Million would
be generated, and he said that the plan as recommended
by the staff, would reduce the total revenue by the
City by approximately $400,000.00.

vote on the subject General Plan Amendment until May
29, 1986. Ms. Temple replied that the certification of
an Environmental Impact Report and the approval of a
project cannot occur prior to the closing of the
Environmental Impact Report period. Ms. Temple cited
that the City Council will take final action on the
subject General Plan Amendment; therefore, the City
Council cannot take final action before May 29, 1986.
Ms. Watt stated that one thing that seems to be of
concern is that there is a "cart before the horse"
concept, that is, there are numerous parts of the
circulation element that stands 'right now that are
controversial and they are controversial by various
homeowners associations as well as by SPON which has
been working toward getting some sort of a standard of
acceptable level of service. She commented that what
is presently needed is a drawing or a model of some of
the mitigation measures that are planned for the future
such as flyovers or possibly a diamond shaped overpass.
Mrs. Watt opined that there is nothing wrong with the
project, but to look at a model of mitigation measures
or to have a model of the traffic on the sections where
mitigation has been deemed to be not feasible, then
there would be a model of what SPON is trying to say.
She said that SPON feels that the circulation system
needs to be looked at with attention to the fact that
many segments of the circulation system may not
materialize or cannot materialize the kind of
mitigation that would be needed. Mrs. Watt recommended
a public review and hearing before a vote on such a
large expansion. Mrs. Watt pointed out that she has a
1964 City map of the original Plan that shows all of
the freeways as well as many other roads, and she
opined that the roadways are not there. Mrs. Watt
stated that SPON's comments will be in by May 29, 1986.

Mr. Dick Nichol, 519 Iris Avenue, appeared before the
Planning Commission. Mr. Nichol stated that The Irvine
Company proposes that they will stay two lanes ahead on
Pelican Hill Road, and based on 2,150 hotel rooms in
the downcoast area, 10 automobile trips per day, that
the two lanes on Pelican Hill Road will be needed just
for the hotels. Mr. Nichol opined that the roadways
through Corona del Mar have stopped operating, that the
traffic is earlier in the morning and later at night,
that the 5:00 p.m. peak hour traffic is a disaster, and
that the residents are traveling on residential streets
in order to get through town. Mr. Nichol opined that
the residents and businesses 'along East Coast Highway
are being exposed to sound and pollution. Mr. Nichol
. stated his support of Newport Village as a residential
site because it gives more off -hour traffic and more
reverse flow. He said that the lowering of the density
of the high rise would be a mitigation measure, and
that all of the traffic going in to Newport Center is
rush hour traffic when there is peak load everywhere.
Mr. Nichol concluded by commenting that Corona del Mar,
is beyond that point, that all of the intersections are
"bottle- necked" and showing capacity problems, and he
opined that traffic figures do not indicate this.
Chairman Person asked Mr. Nichol if he supported the
Pelican Hill Road and the extension of San Joaquin

development of the two roadways, and he further sup-
ports an alternate route to the downcoast area. In

ing the project as it has been mitigated by the staff,
Mr. Nichol replied that the mitigation is good but not
sufficient, that the high rise needs to be looked at,
that the theory of the project is nice but he opined
that there may be consequences. Mr. Nichol further
commented that the the proposed plan is the same

before the Planning Commission representing the Harbor
View Hills Homeowners Association. Mrs. Allen stated
that there is no demonstrated need to widen MacArthur
Boulevard to six lanes. She commented that Volume 4 of
the Traffic Study and the origin and destination study,
indicate that sixty -eight percent to seventy -two
percent of the traffic on East Coast Highway through,
Corona del Mar come from out of town, and most of that
traffic from South Orange County. Mrs. Allen pointed
out that staff has indicated that they assume Pelican
Hill Road, for the purpose of the traffic study, to be
six lanes, and that a six lane roadway has the capacity
of 54,000 automobiles a day; however, staff assumes
that 19,000 or 20,000 automobiles a day are actually
going to use Pelican Hill Road. Mrs. Allen explained
why more than 20,000 automobiles per day would need to
use Pelican Hill Road to connect to San Joaquin Hills
Road to get into Newport Center, and to connect with
Bonita Canyon Road. She said that 20,000 automobiles a
day means one -third of capacity in 2010, that East
Coast Highway would be jammed up, and that MacArthur
Boulevard would be jammed up. Mrs. Allen recommended
the following: that there is not a demonstrated need to
widen MacArthur Boulevard; to condition any approval on
Pelican Hill Road to Bonita Canyon, complete San

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Mrs. Deborah Allen, 1021 Whitesails Way, appeared
before the Planning Commission representing the Harbor
View Hills Homeowners Association. Mrs. Allen stated
that there is no demonstrated need to widen MacArthur
Boulevard to six lanes. She commented that Volume 4 of
the Traffic Study and the origin and destination study,
indicate that sixty -eight percent to seventy -two
percent of the traffic on East Coast Highway through,
Corona del Mar come from out of town, and most of that
traffic from South Orange County. Mrs. Allen pointed
out that staff has indicated that they assume Pelican
Hill Road, for the purpose of the traffic study, to be
six lanes, and that a six lane roadway has the capacity
of 54,000 automobiles a day; however, staff assumes
that 19,000 or 20,000 automobiles a day are actually
going to use Pelican Hill Road. Mrs. Allen explained
why more than 20,000 automobiles per day would need to
use Pelican Hill Road to connect to San Joaquin Hills
Road to get into Newport Center, and to connect with
Bonita Canyon Road. She said that 20,000 automobiles a
day means one -third of capacity in 2010, that East
Coast Highway would be jammed up, and that MacArthur
Boulevard would be jammed up. Mrs. Allen recommended
the following: that there is not a demonstrated need to
widen MacArthur Boulevard; to condition any approval on
Pelican Hill Road to Bonita Canyon, complete San

regarding the recommendation that certain traffic
generation figures would have to be reached on a
segment of MacArthur Boulevard between East Coast

ed that 154 Harbor View Hills homes replied to a poll
and answered not to approve the General Plan Amendment,
to take out the Avocado couplet and replace it by
widening MacArthur Boulevard to six lanes. Mrs. Allen
said that she personally feels that it is a step in the
right direction, that her concern is that there is not
enough criteria in it, that Sand Canyon be in place,

taller than the surrounding buildings. She pointed out
that Newport Center is an urban center, and that future
tenants expect to rent offices, and they expect to have

Commissioner Koppelman commented that (10) Bayview
Landing falls into the category of one of the tradeoffs
that Block 800 be increased to 440,000 square feet.
She said that the sensitive site is an important site
because it is at a major intersection in the City.
Commissioner Koppelman reasoned that the site has the
potential of views; it is in an area that has heavy
traffic; The Irvine Company has requested seventy
percent of the site be covered with buildings and
parking lots; the increase in traffic generated by this
particular site; the access of the traffic coming out
from Back Bay Drive and perhaps through the natural
habitat of Back Bay and the possible detriment to those
who use Back Bay Drive as an environmental sanctuary;
she concluded that a significant decrease in this site
is warranted because once it is gone it will never come
back. Commissioner Koppelman referred to previous
testimony that The Cannery Restaurant is between 8,000
to 9,000 square feet, and she suggested two restaurants
or a restaurant and a Teen Center. She said that the
• site could accommodate two buildings and also
accommodate environmental and recreational use.
Motion N Motion was made to adopt Bayview Landing, to allow a
total of 16,000 square feet for restaurants of visitor
serving commercial use and two facilities, one of which
may be used as a Teen Center. She commented that the
Teen Center is a commercial use, and if the Teen Center
was not located on that site it could be sited in any
commercial area within Newport Center. She opined that
there is some flexibility if the Bayview Landing site
is not the location that the Teen Center wishes to be
in.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Person, Ms.
Temple replied that the Bayview Landing site is approx-
imately 20 acres.
Commissioner Kurlander commented that the grade sepa-
ration that is being proposed is one of the alterna-
tives to widening of East Coast .Highway, and will take
a substantial amount of this particular property. He
said that if the dedication is going to be made for the
widening of East Coast Highway and Jamboree Boulevard,
that the dedication should. include the right -of -way
• sufficient to provide for the grade separation even
though it may not be constructed at this time, which
would reduce the useable area.

lower pad.
Substitute Commissioner Goff made a substitute motion to approve
Motion x Bayview Landing as recommended by staff. He reasoned
that a person could enjoy a view from the bay in a
restaurant just as well as outdoors which is an amenity
that some people enjoy. He further reasoned that to
reduce the site to two buildings, one of which may not
be available to the public to enjoy the view from an
enclosed area, is reducing the site too far.

parking on the upper pad.

via Back Bay Drive" to be changed to "all access for
commercial use is to be provided to the satisfaction of
the City staff ", which enables City staff to review the
ingress /egress layouts as time goes on, and if there is
a possibility to provide some additional forms of
ingress /egress use without jeopardizing the public
safety that this should be taken advantage of. He

opined that this is a commercial site and he is very
sensitive to the access to the site in order to make it
economically viable as time goes on, and also that
there is further protection to prevent patrons from
going tip the Back Bay along the ecological reserve.
Commissioner Goff replied that he would be willing to
defer that to the City Engineer. He reasoned that if
there is no parking on the upper level then East Coast
Highway would be ruled out and to gain access to the
site at the lower level off of Jamboree Boulevard would
be as close to Back Bay Drive as to be unfeasible,
which leaves Back Bay Drive as the only access to the
site.

Chairman Person replied that 560 units have been
designated for Newport Village, and that he believes
that the site is essential to the overall development
of Newport Center. He commented that the Planning
Commission looked at the site in GPA 83-1, as a site to
meet the City's needs in terms of housing and that it
is in the best interest, to insure that residential
buildout does occur in Newport Center prior to the
peripheral sites. He opined that it is important for
the City that those units be the first to be
constructed.
Commissioner Turner asked Chairman Person if he would
consider addressing IIb and change the 400 additional
units to 800 units. Chairman Person replied that would
be a part of his motion: In response to Commissioner
Turner, Chairman Person replied that a total of 800
residential units must have building permits issued
before occupancy permits for Block 600, and those 800
units aside from those units indicated in Newport
Center could be developed anywhere.
Commissioner Turner stated that he would withdraw his
motion.
Commissioner Goff asked if there was a minimum number
of units in Newport Village that would be required.
Chairman Person replied "no ". Chairman Person agreed
with Commissioner Goff that whatever was initially
built prior to getting building permits for the four
sites listed would be all of the units that would ever
be permitted on the Newport Village site. Chairman
Person reasoned that by requiring that substantial
progress in construction then the tentative tract
portion would have been passed, and further
discretionary approval might be necessary for the
Planning Commission to approve development of that
site. Commissioner Turner commented that it would have
the affect of requiring the alignment of Avocado
Avenue, MacArthur Boulevard, and East Coast Highway.
Commissioner Koppelman commented that as a result the
site must be started and developed first. Chairman
Person replied there would have to be substantial
construction. Commissioner Koppelman opined that there
• would be no flexibility for The Irvine Company at all
in terms of whatever their financing is or whatever
residential projects are in line. She stated that she
could not support the motion.

Plaza Center.. In regard to the residential goals, he
pointed out that staff has been firm that the site
remain residential and that it is important for that
particular site in view of the possibilities for the

construction of San Joaquin Hills Road can be
accomplished, completion can be accomplished, that it
is the commencement that is in question as a function
of litigation. Chairman Person commented that he would
be willing to amend to have completion of San Joaquin
Hills Road to Pelican Hill Road. Commissioner Goff
stated that commencement of San Joaquin Hills Road
should be accomplished as soon as possible but to tie
it in with the same phasing of Pelican Hill Road may be
putting it in jeopardy. Chairman Person stated that he
is not tying it in with the building of Pelican Hill
Road, but that his motion assures that Pelican Hill
Road is built and in place before they can step foot
inside one of the buildings with a tenant. He opined
that they are going to want to have San Joaquin Hills
Road built and completed, and if there is litigation
they will want to settle the issue in a hurry.
Discussion followed how San Joaquin Hills Road can be
in and operating with Pelican Hill Road without putting
the applicant into a bind because of possible
• 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 litigation. Carol Korade, Assistant City Attorney,
stated that litigation could happen before, during, or
after construction.
Commissioner Turner commented that because the appli-
cant is relying upon the construction of Block 800 to
pay for Pelican Hill Road, he asked Chairman Person if
it would be acceptable to leave Block 800 in (6) that
would become (5) contingent upon the construction of
San Joaquin Hills Road. Chairman Person stated that
would be acceptable. Chairman Person modified his

Commissioner Goff requested that the motion be amended
to clarify the point that four lanes of San Joaquin
Hills Road would be initially installed. Commissioner
Kurlander opined that recommendation would be under
"Other Requirements ". Commissioner Koppelman commented
that the motion may be at odds with the land use
phasing just adopted, by explaining that the net result
is that Newport Village would be developed first.
Chairman Person responded that it would not have to be
developed first.
Robert Lenard, Advance Planning Administrator, pointed
out that the Newporter North and the existing Villa
Point projects have commitments through cooperation
with the County of Orange for mortgage revenue bond
financing. He suggested that the Planning Commission
may want to consider keeping those projects, which will
probably end up being expansions of that bond issue, in
one of the earlier stages. He explained that one of
the reasons to have suggested early phasing was so that
• they could take benefit of mortgage bond financing. Mr.
Lenard stated that if the projects are held off for one
or two years there may be a chance The Irvine Company
would lose the mortgage revenue bond financing which is
valuable to the City's affordable housing goals. He
opined that if the two items were moved down to the
next phase it does have the affect of making Newport
Village the first residential project.
Commissioner Koppelman opined that staff recommended
the phasing was to indicate the City's desire to
encourage residential development and she suggested
that (d) Corporate Plaza, (e) Newporter North, and (c)
Avocado /MacArther Boulevard be moved back up to Phase
2. Chairman Person replied that to balance the housing
needs of the City and the Circulation system, and that
after hearing testimony from Corona del Mar residents
concerning Pelican Hill Road and the circulation system
improvements in place, that the purpose of his motion
is to try to achieve balance at the earliest possible
date. Chairman Person explained the primary reason for
the changes suggested are if considerations are going
to create more traffic on East Coast Highway without
insuring that those two projects are in place early on
in this development scheme.

next phase it does have the affect of making Newport
Village the first residential project.
Commissioner Koppelman opined that staff recommended
the phasing was to indicate the City's desire to
encourage residential development and she suggested
that (d) Corporate Plaza, (e) Newporter North, and (c)
Avocado /MacArther Boulevard be moved back up to Phase
2. Chairman Person replied that to balance the housing
needs of the City and the Circulation system, and that
after hearing testimony from Corona del Mar residents
concerning Pelican Hill Road and the circulation system
improvements in place, that the purpose of his motion
is to try to achieve balance at the earliest possible
date. Chairman Person explained the primary reason for
the changes suggested are if considerations are going
to create more traffic on East Coast Highway without
insuring that those two projects are in place early on
in this development scheme.

Chairman Person replied that Fashion Island is the
"hub" of the development and that the Fashion Island
portion of the development would probably be tied
together in terms of development, and that it made more
sense 'rather than cut one development into two to do
it, because as indicated by staff and testimony it was
desirable to have the Fashion Island project completed.
Mr. Hewicker commented that the motion does not mean
that all of Fashion Island be built, it is saying that
if The Irvine Company wanted to go ahead and build all
of it they could, or they could build half of it now
and half of it later.
Ms. Temple commented upon the residential moving down
in the phasing program, and opined that it would
preclude development of the residential that is needed
in the phasing program in order to get building permits
for some of the other projects. She said that it is
important that residential projects be phased early so
that the land use phasing requirements can be met.

Commissioner Goff referred to Conditions No. 4 and No.
5 regarding a minimum 3 foot wide space be required
between the tables and chairs, and the railings, and
the building, and he opined that the width does not
leave any space for tables and chairs. Mr. O'Neil
replied that the plan shows three foot wide aisles on
each side of the dining areas with the tables and
chairs, and that there will be room for the outside
dining and maintaining the area to insure that patrons
will not drop items on pedestrians on East Ocean Front.
Mr. O'Neil replied to Commissioner Goff that the
applicant .would not object to the deletion of
Conditions No. 4 and No. 5.
In response to Commissioner Turner, Mr. Hewicker
.
commented that staff does not feel that a patron should
sit next to a railing where items could be dropped on
pedestrians below; that the aisle would provide access
between the guest rooms and the swimming pool; and
there is a concern that the bridge extends over a
public right -of -way.
.
Discussion followed between Commissioner Goff and Ms.
Korade regarding the City being liable for any
accidents that could occur if a guest tossed items over
the balcony and hit someone, and Ms. Korade explained
that with the three foot wide buffer there is an
argument that a dangerous condition of public property
was not created. She said that there is some potential
for liability with the three foot wide buffer and in
order to cover the City's liability there is a hold
harmless agreement required that the City would be
indemnified for any liability that would incur as a
result of granting the use permit.

The public hearing was opened in connection with this
item, and Mr. Philip Bettencourt, appeared before the
Planning Commission on behalf of the applicant. Mr.
Bettencourt described the uses permitted in the side
yards, and he commented that the City has declined to
issue building permits for spas that cross property
lines. He stated that the private CC &R's anticipated
this encroachment but the City felt that this situation
should be clarified. Mr. Bettencourt opined that there

homeowners who state that no structural appurtenances

should cross property lines including spas. Mr.
Bettencourt commented that the staff has advised that
patio covers cannot be constructed over property lines
so there are some encroachments that will have to be
removed. Mr. Bettencourt asked for a continuation of
this item in order that the applicant may meet with the
homeowners.
Mr. Bill Manrow, 516 Carnation Avenue, appeared before
the Planning Commission. Mr. Manrow stated that the
applicant has built or allowed to be built two illegal
spas, and that another spa has been under construction
adjacent to his property. He cited that one of the
model homes has an illegal spa. Mr. Manrow said that
the CC &R's clearly define the parking spaces and access
to the front of the property, and that the CC &R's
should be followed as originally stated.
I I I I I I I I Mr. Jim Kirkpatrick, 517 Dahlia Avenue, appeared before
the Planning Commission. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that a
spa has been constructed adjacent to his property, and
that he does not know where the spa pipes are. Mr.
Kirkpatrick asked if fences that cross property lines
are permitted. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that he supports
Mr. Manrow's testimony.
Mr. Mike Watson, Corona del Mar, appeared before the
Planning Commission. Mr. Watson advised that he is
purchasing a home in Summer Wind. Mr. Watson stated
that he is opposed to spas next to the foundation of
his dwelling unit and he pointed out that there are
fences that are touching homes.
Mr. James Hewicker, Planning Director, stated that the

OWNER: Same as applicant
The public hearing was opened in connection with this
item, and Mr. Jim Skaug, architect, appeared before the
Planning Commission on behalf of the applicant. Mr.
Skaug referred to Condition No. 2 of Use Permit No.
3195, regarding food or alcohol be limited to hotel
guests, and he commented that the hotel guests may have
• clients that they will be entertaining and that the..
applicant is asking that there not be restrictions.
Mr. Skaug referred to Condition No. 5 of Use Permit No.
3195, "this may require the restructuring of the
unreinforced masonry building to resist seismic
forces ", and stated that Condition No. 9 of Use Permit
No. 3195, allows for this and that the project's
structural engineer feels that there is not any danger
to the structure or integrity of the building. In
reference to Condition No. 6 of Use Permit No. 3195,
Mr. Skaug described the existing non - conforming
encroachment, and he said that staff feels that if the
French doors open onto the twelve inch wide balcony
that there could be some danger to the pedestrians
below on West Ocean Front. He asked for a condition
that if there is a complaint regarding the open doors
that the doors would be permanently closed, as opposed
to modifying the design.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Goff
regarding Condition No. 6, Mr. Webb replied that the
section of the sidewalk under the subject balcony is
heavily congested and that a balcony with a railing
could allow an individual to .drop items over the
railing. He opined that windows as opposed to a
• standup balcony would not be a concern. Mr. Skaug
advised Commissioner Goff that the reason for the
French doors is for aesthetics. In response to
Commissioner Roppelman, Mr. Skaug described the design
of the balcony.

Mr. Skaug referred to Condition No. 4 of Resubdivision
No. 826, regarding the corner cutoff at the
intersection of the alley, and stated that the 6 foot
cutoff would create another encroachment because the
building encroaches over the corner. He said that
future building owners may want to level the structure
on the rear property. Mr. Webb advised that wording
could be included to allow the existing encroachment to
remain. The intent was that the existing portion of
the building would remain until demolished; however, if
the building were demolished, the City would still want
the easements, and a dedication.
Mr. Hewicker referred to Condition No. 6 of Use Permit
No. 3195, and advised that Condition No. 9 of said use
permit allows the Planning Commission to call up the
use permit if there would be a violation of the use
permit. Ms. Korade recommended that a hold harmless
clause be added in the event of potential liability
problems.
. In reference to Condition No. 2 of Use Permit No. 3195,
Mr. Hewicker recommended that the condition could be
amended to allow for the hotel guests and their
invitees. He said that the intent was that there would
be no food service that caters to people coming in off
the street. Mr. Skaug commented that the hotel may
also host service groups or charity events. In
response to Mr. Hewicker, Mr. Skaug replied that the
hotel does have a small kitchen.
In reference to Condition No. 5, Mr. Hewicker explained
that Condition No. 9 to add or modify conditions to a
use permit does not relate to Condition No. 5 of Use
Permit No. 3195. After further discussion Mr. Hewicker
stated that the condition is a requirement of the
Building Department and that the Planning Commission
does not have the authority to waive the Building Code.
The public hearing was closed in connection with this
item.
