Vote: 4 Ayes, 2 Absent FO CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MEMORANDUM TO: General Plan/LCP Implementation Committee FROM: Sharon Wood, Assistant City Manager DATE: May 17, 2007 RE: Review of General Plan Implementation Tasks The attached implementation task list incorporates changes discussed by the Committee on March 23, and reflects additional tasks completed since then as well as changes to some projected completion dates. There are also two new items added to the list: • Revision of the Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) with regard to use of the Newport Beach Traffic Analysis Model (NBTAM). • Revision of City Council Policy A-18, Measure S Guidelines with regard to variable FAR. Traffic Phasing Ordinance The TPO (Appendix A, Administrative Procedures) is specific with regard to use of the NBTAM to estimate increases in regional traffic and for trip generation rates for proposed projects. NBTAM is defined as "the most current City Council approved traffic analysis model for the City of Newport Beach." As part of the General Plan update, the City developed and the City Council approved a new traffic analysis model, called the Newport Beach Traffic Model. It does fit within the TPO's definition of NBTAM, and it would not be necessary to amend the TPO to use the new model to estimate increases in regional traffic. However, the new model is based on socioeconomic data (as required by the Orange County Transportation Authority), and results in trip generation rates that are quite different from NBTAM or the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE). Trip rates in the socioeconomic model factor in long-term changes in land use such as the introduction of mixed uses, the effects of multi-purpose trips, etc. These rates are appropriate for long-term analysis, such as the General Plan update and changes in regional traffic required for TPO studies. But socioeconomic model rates are not as accurate for short term, project level traffic analysis, such as the TPO's required analysis of impacts one year after project completion. Staff believes that a more appropriate source of project trip generation rates for TPO analysis is ITE. Therefore, staff believes that the TPO and its Appendix A should be amended to delete references to NBTAM, and replace them with the following provisions: • Use the most current City Council approved traffic analysis model for the City of Newport Beach to estimate increases in regional traffic anticipated to occur within one year after project completion. • Use trip generation rates in the most recent edition of "Trip Generation" published by ITE to project trips generated from proposed projects. Measure S Guidelines When Measure S was approved by the voters in November 2000, the General Plan provided for variable floor area ratios (FAR) for some land use categories. City Council Policy A-18, which provides guidelines for implementing Measure S (Charter Section 423), includes the methodology to be used when a General Plan amendment affects a parcel or area for which the existing or proposed intensity is stated in terms of a variable FAR. The General Plan approved by the voters in November 2006 does not express any land use entitlement in terms of a variable FAR. Therefore, the variable FAR provisions in City Council Policy A- 18 may be deleted. 2 GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION TASKS 1.

Establish the elevation of the 4 corners of the site. Connect the 4 corners to create an imaginary plane. Establish the elevations at each of the 4 comers of the buildable area rectangle created by establishing the front, rear, and side setbacks. The continuous elevation along all sides of the buildable area rectangle (shaded area) is the grade from which structure height shall be determined. 1100' 1 1101.5' I 104' 1 103' ` 1 105.5' 1 104' 106' In this method the imaginary plane may slope front to rear as well as side to side. 2. Establish the average elevation of the front and rear property lines. Connect the two elevation with a line. The slope and the continuous elevations that are created along this line will establish the elevation (grade) of the imaginary buildable area rectangle. In this example the imaginary plane would slope front to rear, but not side to side.
