WHEREAS, on April 7, 2011, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this meeting; and WHEREAS, at the April 7, 2011, public hearing, the Planning Commission received public comments and on an affirmative motion (7 ayes, 0 noes) a recommendation to the City Council to approve the proposed Code Amendments; and WHEREAS, the subject properties are located within the Two -Unit Residential (R- 2) Zoning District, the General Plan Land Use Element category is Two -Unit Residential (RT); and WHEREAS, the subject properties are located within the coastal zone and are currently subject to the provisions of the Categorical Exclusion Order (CEO), however, accompanying applications considered by the Planning Commission will simultaneously change the Land Use Element of the General Plan and the Coastal Land Use Plan to change the land use designation from Two -Unit Residential (RT -E) to the CG 0.5 (General Commercial) or MU -V (Mixed -Use Vertical) land use designations. ORDINANCE NO. 2011 -15 Page 2 WHEREAS, this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Section 15302 — Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, this activity is not subject to CEQA. WHEREAS, The amendments of the Land Use Element of the General Plan and the Coastal Land Use Plan will provide consistency with the proposed code amendments to change the zoning of the subject properties from Two -Unit Residential (R -2) to Mixed -Use (MU -V) or Commercial General (CG) designations. WHEREAS, The existing buildings and uses, and future development of those properties affected by the proposed amendments will be consistent with the goals and policies of the Land Use Element of the General Plan and the Coastal Land Use Plan, and will be consistent with the purpose and intent of the CG 0.5 and MU -V zoning districts of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. WHEREAS, The City Council finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA determinations and approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In addition, project opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As project applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that such applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial challenge, and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which may be awarded to a successful challenger. Therefore, to the fullest extent permitted by law, applicant and property owner shall defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the City, its City Council, its boards and commissions, officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorney's fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever which may arise from or in any manner relate (directly or indirectly) to the project, the project's approval based on the City's CEQA determination and /or the City's failure to comply with the requirements of any federal, state, or local laws, including, but not limited to, CEQA, General Plan and zoning requirements. This indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, damages awarded against the City, if any, costs of suit, attorneys` fees, and other expenses incurred in connection with such claim, action, or proceeding whether incurred by applicant, City, and /or the parties initiating or bringing such proceeding.
