GFM.1 YIW WIDVSELYEYONFYT WHERE WE ARE HEADED C� •�I 1I 4!-�ti 1 The forthcoming policy and land use recommendations will incorporate the community initiatives that have been conducted since the 2006 General Plan was adopted, including the Neighborhood Revitalization efforts including the Lido Village Design Guidelines, and the Balboa Village Implementation Plan as well as input from the Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee and the community at large. Frequently Asked Questions: 1: Why is the City conducting a Land Use Element Amendment now? With the economy slowly recovering from the recession, now is a good time to re- evaluate the existing Land Use Element and modify any policies or land use designations to better address the goals and vision of the Newport Beach community in the context of the current economic climate. 2: Who serves on the Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee? The LUEAAC is made up of two members of the City Council, two members of the Planning Commission and five community members appointed to serve on the committee by the City Council. 3: Could this amendment lead to other amendments? The Land Use Amendment should adequately address the proposed land use and policy modifications to the plan; however other elements may be reviewed and updated as needed throughout the life of the current General Plan before a comprehensive General Plan update is conducted by the City. 4: What will the Amendment process look like? The amendment process will include the identification of any potential modifications to land uses and or development capacities based on recommendations from the LUEAAC. These recommendations will then be analyzed in accordance with the CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act). The LUEAAC will subsequently work with the community to update and modify existing Land Use policies, as necessary. Upon completion of the CEQA analysis the LUEAAC will make final recommendations for the amendments to the existing Land Use Element. These amendments will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council. In accordance with the Greenlight Iniative the required amendments will appear on the ballot for a final vote of the public. 5: Who will make the final decisions on what changes are made? The Citizens of Newport Beach will make the final decision on what land use changes are made. The City Council will approve any modifications to the existing policies. m I endmen WHERE WE HAVE BEg-N In 2002, Newport Beacew that the City's General Plan, had not been updatedzime 1988 and was significantly out of date. A multi- year, community driven, update process was initiated by the City in partnership with the community and included more than 50 meetings W community input was solicited. Newport Beach residents and City leadership worked for four years —their efforts culminated in a General Plan that protects the quality of life in Newport Beach, embodies the values of the community and serves as a road map for elected officials and city staff to plan for the future. The 2006 General Plan was a huge success for Newport Beach. The 2006 General Plan was adopted by referendum in November 2006 in accordance with the Greenlight Initiative, which requires voter approval of the City's General Plan. OF w + + .p. a .un WHERE WE ARE TODAY In 2013 the City kicked off a Land lJfe Element Amen'dmer in order to ensure that the goals 'set forth in the General PI are-being realized and to modify them` as necessary - like change rather than rebuilding the engine. The amendment process is intended to account for and ad any potential changes in economic conditions, com- munit) visions, and policy and regulatory initiatives since_the plan adoption in 2006. With the Land Use Element Advisory Committee and the community's input this fall a limited'' number of targeted and stratetjic changes will be recommended. These amendments will be veld by the Planning, Commission and, once approved, City': Council and will then ba-blaced on the ballot for for ,final voter to approval: -A l�1 4 t`If, i } Reduced Development Capacities Location Existing Use Existing Land Recommended Average Daily Explanation/ ( #see map) t process_ Regional shopping Use Category Amendment Trip Change* Justification - .. y Shopping Center Neighborhood Commercial(CN) Reduction: -593 ©Westcliff Plaza To accurately reflect the in 1000 -1150 Allowed Floor Area: 138,500 sq ft. 15,514 sq ft. existing improvements to 10 Irvine Avenue Existing Floor Area: 112,986 sq ft.
