WHEREAS, The Irvine Company has applied to the City of Newport Beach for
approval of a transfer of development rights as follows:
(1) The conversion of 72,000 square feet of City Hall to 72,000 square feet
of general office within North Newport Center Block 500.

for development of approximately 24,428 square feet currently assigned to
Newport Center Block 600.
WHEREAS, General Plan Policy LU 6.14.3 permits development rights to be
transferred within Newport Center as long as the transfer is consistent with the intent of
the General Plan and will not result in any adverse traffic impacts.
WHEREAS, the North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan
provides that the City Council shall approve a transfer of development rights if it finds
that the transfer will result in no more trips and no greater intensity of land use than the
development allowed without the transfer.
WHEREAS, a traffic study entitled Transfer of Development Rights in North
Newport Center Planned Community (Austin -Foust Associates, Inc., July 3, 2008) was
prepared for the application for the transfer of development rights in compliance with
General Plan Policy LU 6.14.3 and the North Newport Center Planned Community
Development Plan.
WHEREAS, the traffic study found that, consistent with General Plan Policy LU
6.14.3 and the North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan, the
transfer of development rights will not result in any adverse traffic impacts.
WHEREAS, an intensity analysis was prepared by the City Manager's Office and
demonstrates that the transfer of development rights will not result in greater intensity
than development allowed without the transfer.
WHEREAS, the City Council considered the application at a public meeting on
July 22, 2008, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport
Beach, California, at which time the City Council considered the transfer of development
rights, as well as the traffic and intensity studies.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that:
(1) Consistent with General Plan Policy LU 6.14.3 and the North Newport
Center Planned Community Development Plan, the transfer of
development rights will not result in any adverse traffic impacts, as
documented in the traffic study.
(2) Consistent with General Plan Policy LU 6.14.3 and the North Newport
Center Planned Community Development Plan, the transfer of
development rights will not result in greater intensity than that which is

consistent with the intent of the General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council approves the
