SUBJECT: Recommendations from General Plan Update Committee on
Community Outreach "Visioning" Process, Composition of General
Plan Advisory Committee, and Consultant Selection
SUGGESTED
ACTIONS: 1) Approve the Visioning Process and authorize the City Manager to
execute an agreement with Moore Iacofano Goltsman, Inc. for an
amount not to exceed $221,500.
2) Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach Establishing a General Plan Advisory Committee.
• 3) Direct staff and the General Plan Update Committee to prepare
and circulate Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) for certain technical
studies and preparation of the General Plan update.
The City Council appointed the General Plan Update Committee in May 2000, and charged it
with designing a preliminary community outreach program, conducting the program if approved
by the Council, making a recommendation on the scale and scope of a General Plan update, and
identifying the resources necessary to accomplish the update. The Committee has been meeting
biweekly since its members were appointed in October. They have developed a set of
recommendations, with the assistance of a consultant who specializes in public participation for
planning, and with input from members of the public who have attended the Committee
meetings.
DISCUSSION
Visioning Process
"Visioning" is the term the Committee has come to use for the initial community outreach
• program the City will use to find out what the citizens of Newport Beach want for the future of
the community, i.e., what they want the General Plan to achieve, or at least strive for.
The City retained Carolyn Verheyen of Moore Iacofano Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) to help define the
visioning process. MIG specializes in public participation for planning, and has provided these
services for general plan updates in Pasadena, Davis and Santa Barbara, as well as for some of
our work on Balboa Peninsula revitalization. Ms. Verheyen attended the City Council Study •
Session on March 14, 2000, and provided an overview of surveys and other techniques that can
be used in a general plan process. She will be at this study session to outline the visioning
process recommended by the Committee.
An outline and summary budget for the proposed visioning process is attached. The process was
designed to encourage participation from a broad spectrum of the community, and especially to
elicit input from people who are not regularly involved in City issues. Following are the key
features of the process.
• State of the City/Key Choices document that describes where we are and what issues
need to be discussed as part of the General Plan update.
• Community Vision Festival, a one -day event to bring the community out to learn
about City issues and share thoughts about the General Plan update.
• Graphic presentation kiosk summarizing the issues and process, which can be used at
meetings and locations throughout the community.
• Neighborhood workshops for more in -depth discussion of issues affecting different
areas of Newport Beach.
• Kits that organizations can use to conduct their own workshops.
• Survey of statistically valid sample of residents.
• Three newsletters summarizing the issues, process and input received. One will
include a mailback card with a few provocative questions to augment information
received from other tools. •
• Three updates of City website.
• Ongoing support of General Plan Update Committee and General Plan Advisory
Committee.
• Community Congress to present and validate input received during the process.
• Vision and Strategic Directions document.
The Committee is recommending that the City Council approve MIG as the firm to manage the
visioning process, without the selection process called for in City Council Policy F -14. In
addition to the firm's expertise in public outreach for planning, the Committee is impressed with
Ms. Verheyen's knowledge of Newport Beach and her understanding of the issues and
challenges the City faces. It is extremely likely that MIG would be selected from a qualifications
based process, which would take time that could be used to begin the process.
The estimated cost for the entire visioning process is $221,500. Should the City find that
community participation is less than anticipated, or that issues become clear or are resolved
quickly, steps could be eliminated to save time and money. Because of the recommendation to
contract with MIG without considering other firms, the Committee asked for an independent
review of the cost estimate. Staff had this review done by Elwood Tescher of EIP Associates.
Mr. Tescher and his firm have done general plan updates for many communities, and sometimes
do the community outreach work as well. After reviewing the work program and budget, and
asking some questions regarding committee roles and staff responsibilities, Mr. Tescher
concluded that the cost estimate is reasonable for the recommended program. There would be •
costs in addition to MIG's fee, including staff from the City Manager's Office and Planning
Page 2
Department, as well as printing, mailing, and publication of meeting notices. Staff estimates
• these costs to be $85,000 for staff time and $30,000. for direct costs. This year's capital account
for general planning has $90,000 remaining, which will be sufficient to begin the process this
fiscal year. Staff has included $200,000 for this project in the Planning Department Professional
and Technical Services account for next fiscal year.
General Plan Advisory Committee
The General Plan Update Committee is comprised of three Council members, three Planning
Commissioners, and one representative each from the Aviation Committee, Harbor Committee,
Economic Development Committee, Environmental Quality Affairs Committee, and Measure S
supporters. This Committee thinks that its role is to steer the General Plan update effort, but not
to be the group that reviews issues, community input and technical studies, and makes policy
recommendations. For the latter work, a General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) is
recommended. The Update Committee feels very strongly that the GPAC should include a large
proportion of "new" people, who are not involved in City issues on a regular basis. GPAC
should be balanced geographically, by age and by interests. The Update Committee is
recommending a composition for GPAC to attain this freshness and diversity, and is
recommending that GPAC applications be taken via the first newsletter and at the community
vision festival. For representatives of environmental and business interests, established
organizations (e.g., SPON, Chamber of Commerce) would nominate members. The Update
Committee would review applications and nominations, and select GPAC members to provide
balance. The City Council would confirm all appointments. The attached resolution establishes
• GPAC, and its exhibit shows the recommended composition of the Committee.
Scove of Update and Technical Studies
Visioning is just the first phase in the process of updating the General Plan. The product we are
seeking from this phase, "Vision, Values and Strategic Directions," is intended to guide the
General Plan update, along with technical studies and legal requirements. The attached
preliminary work program for the General Plan update is a rough draft that does not include all
issues or steps in the process, nor show timelines or the sequence of tasks. It is intended only to
demonstrate what the General Plan update process could entail and how the community's vision
and the technical studies will fit into the larger project. The Update Committee is recommending
a comprehensive update of the General Plan, although some elements might be done in later
phases.
The technical studies needed are traffic, noise, air quality, geotechnical, water quality, fire
hazards, economics and fiscal impact. Unlike with the visioning process, staff does not wish to
discuss scope of work and fees with the technical consultants at this stage, so that we retain full
flexibility to bring new thinking to our General Plan update. The Update Committee and staff
believe that it is important to begin the traffic, economic and fiscal studies as soon as possible.
Staff also believes it is important to select the consultant who will prepare the new General Plan
soon, so that person or team will be able to participate in the visioning process by making sure all
important questions are asked and by listening to the input from the community. We are
• recommending that the City Council direct staff to prepare, and the Update Committee to review
and approve, requests for qualifications (RFQs) for these services. When consultants are selected
based on their qualifications and responsiveness to Newport Beach's issues, we will negotiate
Page 3
scopes of service and fees. The agreements and budget amendments will be presented to the City
Council for review and approval. Staff estimates that the technical studies will cost $200,000 to •
$350,000, and the General Plan update and environmental impact report (EIR) will cost
approximately $500,000.

Newport Beach, CA 92659 -2295
Dear Mr. Glasgow:
The Economic Development Committee appreciated the presentation on Corona del
Mar's Vision 2004 project at our meeting of January 17, 2001. It was good to hear that
the Business Improvement District is providing strong leadership, and that the business
and residential communities are united behind the goal of improving Corona del Mar.
• As you will remember, some concern was expressed with the long -term costs of the plan,
especially to maintain the generous amount of landscaping proposed, and to cover City
liability after Caltrans relinquishes control over Pacific Coast Highway. Nonetheless, the
Committee was very glad to see your plan moving forward, and voted to support the plan
in concept.
•
On behalf of EDC, I wish you the best of luck as you continue working to improve one of
Newport Beach's important commercial villages.

Re: Corona del Mar's Vision 2004 Presentation at EQAC
Dear Mr. Glasgow:
Thank you and Mr. Edward Selich for your presentation on Corona del Mar's Vision
2004 project at the January 15, 2001 meeting of the City's Environmental Quality Affairs
• Committee ( "EQAC "). It was good to hear that the business and residential
communities are united behind the goal of improving Corona del Mar, and that you are
doing extensive public outreach to inform, to hear and respond to reactions and to
develop a consensus from the community for the Project.
As you know, many EQAC members expressed several concerns including safety, traffic,
the size and scope of the landscaping including the size of replacement street trees, and
funding and maintenance of the Project. Having recognized these concerns, EQAC's
overall reaction was very positive: the full committee voted to support the plan in
concept and expressing its hope that you will find funding to implement it.
On behalf of EQAC, I wish you the best of luck as you continue your work to improve
the quality of life in Corona del Mar. We look forward to hearing additional
presentations as your plans take further shape and definition.
Sincerely,
Robert C. Hawkins, Chair

Re: Corona del Mar's Vision 2004 Plan
Dear Mr. Glasgow,
Thank you and our colleague Ed Selich for your presentation on Corona del Mar's Vision
2004 project at the January 4, 2001 Planning Commission meeting. It was good to hear
that the business and residential communities are all involved in a cooperative effort to
improve the Corona del Mar commercial area. Additionally, the extensive public
outreach campaign to inform, to hear and respond to reactions; and to develop a
consensus from the community for the Project will benefit the entire program.
As you know, the Planning Commission members had questions regarding the loss or
gain of parking spaces, the way the sidewalks would be refurbished, the potential
abandonment of Larkspur, funding of the improvements, and long term maintenance
requirements. The Commission also indicated an interest in on -going involvement as
environmental, traffic and fiscal studies are completed.
With this said, the Planning Commission as a whole is very impressed with the work on
the Vision 2004 plan to date. It appears to balance the long -term interests of the business
and residential communities with the unavoidable reed to allow Coast Highway to
accommodate its regional transportation service role. On behalf of the Planning
Commission, I wish you the best of luck as you continue your planning process. We look
forward to hearing additional presentations as your plans take further shape and
definition, and look forward to participating in their implementation as the specific plan
is considered for approval by the City.
Sincerely,

Dear Members of the City Council:
The Corona del Mar Chamber of Commerce fervently recommends the
conceptual plan of Vision 2004. It is believed that both businesses and residents
• will equally benefit from the relinquishment of Pacific Coast Hwy by Caltrans to
the city of Newport Beach.
This visual conceptual plan has been shown to the Corona del Mar Residents
Association, all Corona del Mar homeowner groups and to the Board of
Directors, as well as the entire Chamber membership.
The Chamber urges your support of this plan when it is presented to you for your
approval.

You and Ed Selich are to be congratulated for the excellent presentation made
January 2, 2001 on the CdMBID Vision 2004 proposed plan of improvements along East
Coast Highway through Corona del Mar business district. It is obvious that much time,
effort and community involvement went into this plan.
The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission (PBEtR) was unanimously impressed
with the presentation. As is obvious the plan in addition to the landscaping aspects
• encompasses extensive traffic and monetary concerns, PBEtR in its advisory capacity
to the City Council on all matters pertaining to parks, beaches, recreation and
parkways and street trees look forward to working with your organization.

Mr. Don Glasgow

Corona del Mar Business Improvement District
P. O. Box 2295
Newport Beach, CA 92659 -2295
Dear Mr. Glasgow:
I have reviewed the -conceptual plan for the Corona del Mar Business Improvement District's
proposed "Vision 2004" and support this design.
The "Village" atmosphere of the plan and increased quality of life are very attractive features
afforded to the entire city. The improved landscaping, decorative lighting fixtures and a
coordinated collection of street furniture are just a few of the proposed worthy improvements.
I believe the "Vision 2004" plan is a beautiful revitalization to The Seaside Garden Village.

Re: Vision 2004 meeting with Shore Cliffs Homeowners February 25, 2001
Dear Mr. Glasgow:
On behalf of the 139 Shore Cliffs homeowners, we want to thank you and Edward Selich for taking the
time on February 25' to educate us about the Vision 2004 plan for Corona del Mar. The meeting had a
great turnout we are excited about the Vision 2004 plan. Corona del Mar has much to offer, but it currently
lacks many of the major amenities and "village " ambiance that can ensure the longevity of both the
business community and homeowner values. We would like to assist the Corona del Mar Business
Improvement District in its endeavor to make this plan a reality.
The Vision 2004 Plan addresses the lack of the overall ambiance by addressing the need to improve
lighting, landscaping and hardscaping medians and sidewalks, increasing pedestrian crossings and street
• access to create a community with character in a village atmosphere. Shore Cliffs would be very receptive
to a traffic signal at the comer of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Seaward Road. The traffic volume and
speed (often 60 mph northbound on PCH until Poppy) are a danger to pedestrians and to traffic entering
and leaving Shore Cliffs at the Seaward intersection. Ever - increasing traffic from Crown Cove Retirement
Center, which uses the Seaward intersection as a turnaround, adds to the danger at this intersection. The
proposed lookout area would be an improvement over what is currently dirt and weeds. With no additional
parking proposed for southbound PCH, the walkway improvements will enhance the southern terminus of
the "village ".
The board members and homeowners attending the presentation at Shore Cliffs indicated that they are in
full support of your proposal. Several residents have spoken with board members at other community
gatherings, and every comment has been favorable. We support the Vision 2004 plan for Corona del Mar,
and will assist your efforts in any way possible to make the vision a reality.

Dear Mr. Glasgow,
My family has run three businesses continuously over the past thirty years in Corona del
Mar; we have leased the office space in the same building for that period of time. I
myself am a graduate of Corona del Mar High School, so in all aspects you can say I am a
"local boy ".
Within that thirty years, there has been much discussion, good planning and very little
action in creating a refined, bold Corona del Mar. I participated in the design charette in
August of 1999 hoping at last that there would be progress in bringing the ambiance of
the village up to its true potential. The recent work taken on by the Business
• Improvement District in continuing the vision and excitement of that event is remarkable
in its scope and thoroughness. Here at last is a viable concept to bring Corona del Mar a
world class identity and an environment that matches the unique character of this 97 year
old village.
By way of this letter, my wife, Cathy (the President of Cathimarie's Inc.), myself, and the
rest of our office pledge our support and efforts in the realization of the Vision 2004 plan.
Please count on our total cooperation in whatever it takes to finish this job.

conceptual plans and believe that, with minor changes, they have the potential to
transform this area of Corona del Mar both by enhancing its ambiance and encouraging
pedestrian traffic.
As a property owner, my support of your undertaking reflects a certain amount of
"enlightened self - interest ". Specifically, my partners and I believe that your program will
enable us to atttract superior tenants and achieve higher rents for the properties we own in

customers.
Finally, I commend you for your personal involvement in this undertaking. It may take a
while but I believe your program will succeed and that the community will greatly benefit
by it and owe you a great debt of gratitude.

Mr. Bill Sinclair
Corona del Mar Chamber of Commerce
Dear Bill,
In my thirty some years of residency in Corona del Mar, I have seen
several plans for improvement of our Coast Hwy street scape, but
not until Vision 2004 have I been enthused about what was proposed.
I would like to offer a suggestion in furtherance of that plan
as follows;
Create a demonstration block in front of the Chamber office
on the south side of the highway between Goldenrod and
Heliotrope that would implement the hardscape and planting
ideas proposed by the architect.
In so doing, the residents and merchants might be incentivised
to offer strong support, perhaps monetarily, to help implement
the plan in its entirety. For negotiating reasons, such a
potential subsidy should be confidential prior to Caltrans and
City BID committments.
If the architect could prepare a bidable set of hardscape and
landscape plans for this one block stretch, we would be able
to quantify and further discuss this idea.
It seems that Starbucks has relocated the cultural center of our
village to this block, and given that the Chamber office would be
the nexus of promoting the plan, this seems like the best location,
notwithstanding that I would benefit, as an adjacent property
owner.
I would be willing to attempt to recruit other property owners
in the block for a seed money contribution of say, ten to twenty
dollars a front foot which would raise several thousand dollars
to help initiate what I think would be a great marketing tool
for a project that deserves to come to fruition.
Kudos to those who have provided leadership to bring us this far.

Dear Council Members:
We have read and studied in some detail the Corona del Mar Business Improvement
District's proposed "Vision 2004" conceptual plan. We generally support it in its
present form, provided it includes a stringent, more restrictive sign ordinance to
correct the present unsightly signage all up and down Coast Highway in CDM.
As long time Corona del Mar residents, we believe Vision 2004 will improve the
quality of life in Corona del Mar and in Newport Beach. It will help strengthen the
village feel of CDM's business district for residents, business people and visitors from
wherever. Importantly, the proposed plan supports an agreement on the part of
CalTrans to relinquish Pacific Coast Highway in CDM to the City, which transfer, we
understand, may significantly help fund the proposed improvements.
We urge you to support Vision 2004 conceptual plan. This is a unique and timely
opportunity to elevate the CDM business district to a level more in keeping with the
beautiful residential community surrounding it, providing a "front door" from the
south to a community the entire City can rightfully be proud of.
Thank you for your consideration.

Donald Glasgow, Chairman
Corona del Mar Business Improvement District
P.O. Box 2295
Newport Beach, California, 92659 -2255
Dear Chairman Glasgow and Committee
The Guinness World Book of Records doesn't have an entry for years
of living in, working in, and boosting for the community of Corona del
Mar. But if it did, we'd probably get a mentioned. Over 30 years ago
our family first moved there and - though we now have less
meaningful nearby addresses - our hearts are still in CdM.
To With that in mind, Nikki and I applaud you and heartily endorse
your Vision 2004 plan for redeveloping Corona del Mar. It is an
enormous amount of work; yet it would not erode the "village"
atmosphere of this charming community in any way. To the contrary,
we feel it would enhance it and perpetuate a feeling (and a reality)
of small town life far into the future. How rare that would be in this
age of constant change.
0
If there is any way we can assist in Vision 2004 becoming a reality,
either personally or via Coast magazine where we both work, please
let us know. Until then, may all good fortune be with your
considerable and impressive efforts.
Very truly yours,
Jim and Nikki Wood
