With the proposed development, the existing uses will be demolished and replaced by a 30,000 square foot showroom and sales building and a 100,000 square foot auto service building. The project also proposes a multi -story parking structure with 1,700 parking spaces for employee parking and storage of sales inventory. The total square footage for all structures is Newport Lexus PM & EIR July 13, 2004 Page 2 approximately 186,000 square feet. The project is proposed to be located on a site that is approximately 8.05 acres in size. The application includes a request for approval of: an Amendment to the General Plan; a Planned Community Text Amendment (Newport Place); a Use Permit; Modification Permit; approval of a Traffic Phasing Ordinance traffic study; and a Lot Line Adjustment. Project Management Services Project management services to augment City staff are required for this project due to existing staff work load constraints, coupled with the rapid time frame requested by the project applicant. Staff has determined that Hogle- Ireland, Inc. is well- suited for this project and has performed well in past contractual project management roles for the City. Staff has reviewed the scope of services and "do- not - exceed" amount for the project management contract, and the consulting fees are considered appropriate and warranted. Environmental Impact Report Preparation Staff conducted a preliminary evaluation of the proposed project and concluded that an Environmental Impact Report should be prepared for the project. Council Policy K -3 allows the City to select a qualified consultant for environmental services without a competitive bidding process, and ESA was selected for approval due to experience, cost, scope of services provided and timeline. The consultant has provided a proposal to perform professional environmental services for the City of Newport Beach for the preparation and processing of a project level Environmental Impact Report and supporting documents for the project. A copy of the proposal is attached to the draft professional services agreement that is attached to this report. The proposal contains the scope of services through the completion of the Final Project EIR, proposed budget, and time schedule for preparation and processing the environmental documentation. Staff has reviewed the scope of services for the EIR contract, and believes it is adequate to meet or exceed the minimum requirements set forth by the California Environmental Quality Act. In addition to specific land use /aesthetics, air quality and water quality analyses and the preparation of all the EIR documents, the scope of services includes a traffic study to be completed by Kimley -Horn & Associates that will be an appendix to the document. The environmental consulting fees for tasks described in the scope of services including staff hours, technical studies, direct expenses, and printing have been reviewed by staff and are considered appropriate and warranted. 2 Newport Lexus PM & EIR July 13, 2004 Page 3 Funding Availability: The cost of these contracts will be the responsibility of Newport Lexus.

APPROVED AS TO FORM: In Robin Clauson Assistant City Attorney for the City of Newport Beach ATTEST: 0 LaVonne Harkless City Clerk ii CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH A Municipal Corporation 0 Homer L. Bludau City Manager for the City of Newport Beach CONSULTANT 61 2` EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF WORK Outlined below are the proposed scope, tentative schedule and estimated costs for the Newport Beach Lexus Dealership Environmental Impact Report (EIR). As we discussed at the initial meeting, while this is a relatively small project which usually would be subject to a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration, it would seem prudent to prepare an EIR for this project because of the uncertainty and potential controversy associated with cumulative traffic impacts on the border of the City of Irvine. SCOPE OF WORK Task 1. Preparation of Initial Study and Notice of Preparation. Since it has been determined that an EIR is the most prudent course for environmental review of the Newport Beach Lexus Dealership, the Initial Study (IS), can be a brief, document examining all the "easy" No Potential for Significant Impact Issues. We suggest that even though we anticipate that all issues (other than cumulative traffic maybe) could be mitigated and/or have no potential for significant impact, that the following issues (in addition to traffic) be deferred to the EIR for analysis: o Land Use Compatibility/ Aesthetics o Air Quality o Water Quality The Initial Study would document all the "No Potential for Significant Impact" answers in a standard CEQA Checklist. The NOP would briefly outline the project, and would include a site location map and a site plan; while not necessary, we would also recommend attaching the Initial Study so that Irvine and all other interested parties are fully informed and able to make their comments early in the process. Task 2. Meeting and Hearing Attendance. As requested by the City, we are budgeting for 2 meetings per month (averaging 4 hours each) for the duration of the approximately 10 month EIR process ( +/_ including the hearing process). In addition Kimley -Horn has budgeted a total of 15 meetings/hearings. Task 3. Preparation of Traffic Report ( Kimley- Horn). The proposed Lexus Dealership is to be located at the northwest corner of MacArthur Boulevard (north -south street) and Jamboree Road (east -west street) in the City of Newport Beach. The site is currently occupied by Platt College (three two -story buildings) and an Avis Rent -a -Car storage lot. With the proposed development, the existing uses will be demolished and replaced by a 30,000 - square -foot showroom and sales building and 100,000- square -foot auto service building. The �_l project also proposes a multi -story parking structure with 1,700 parking spaces for employee parking and storage of sales inventory. The Traffic Impact Study will address the off -site project impacts at area intersections, in accordance with the City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) requirements, and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. The following tasks are envisioned: • Obtain current weekday morning and evening peak hour traffic count data at the following intersections. It is assumed that current peak hour data at the TPO Primary Intersections will be available through the City's TPO program, and that count data for the non -TPO intersections is available through the recently completed preliminary analysis effort. - Mac Arthur and Campus - Campus and Quail * - Irvine / Campus and Bristol N - Irvine / Campus and Bristol S - Irvine and Mesa - Irvine and University - Mac Arthur and Birch - Birch and Quail * - Birch and Bristol N - Birch and Bristol S - Von Karman and Campus - Mac Arthur and Von Karman / Newport Place - Jamboree and Campus - Jamboree and Birch - Jamboree and Mac Arthur - Jamboree and Bristol N - Jamboree and Bristol S - Jamboree and Bayview - Jamboree and Eastbluff / University - Mac Arthur and University - Mac Arthur and Michelson* - Von Karman and Michelson* - Jamboree and Michelson* - Campus and University* * Not a TPO Primary Intersection; included for CEQA analysis only • Develop project trip generation estimates for the proposed project, using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (7th Edition). The project trip generation estimate will include a credit for the traffic generated by the existing site uses (Platt College and the Avis Rent -a -Car storage lot). • Develop trip distribution assumptions for the project traffic, based on expected origins and destinations of project customers and employees. Input from the project applicant will be solicited for this task. Project traffic will be distributed through the study intersections, and the project traffic contribution to each intersection will be identified. 2 9 Project trip generation and trip distribution assumptions and analysis methodology will be presented to City staff for review and concurrence prior to proceeding with the analysis phase of the study. • Obtain Approved Project and Cumulative Project information from the City of Newport Beach and the City of Irvine. Develop traffic estimates for Approved and Cumulative projects at the study intersections. Conduct the TPO 1% analysis for morning and evening peak hours for TPO (Approved Projects) at all TPO Primary Intersections and CEQA (Cumulative Projects) conditions for all study intersections. Based on the results of the 1% analysis, identify the intersections to be evaluated in the Traffic Impact Study. Based on preliminary analysis already conducted by the City, it is assumed that full intersection analysis will be conducted at up to 10 intersections for the TPO analysis and up to 16 intersections for the CEQA analysis. • Summarize operating conditions at the study intersections for the following scenarios: Existing Conditions Existing Plus Growth Plus Approved Projects Existing Plus Growth Plus Approved Projects Plus Newport Lexus Project Existing Plus Growth Plus Approved Projects Plus Cumulative Projects Existing Plus Growth Plus Approved Projects Plus Cumulative Projects Plus Newport Lexus Project • Identify project impact, and if necessary, identify mitigation measures. Calculate the project's fair -share contribution to the cost of needed improvements. • Discuss site access issues. • Prepare a stand -alone Traffic Impact Study, suitable for incorporation into the environmental document. The traffic study will summarize analysis methodology, findings, and recommendations. • Assist in preparing responses to traffic- related comments. • Attend project team meetings and up to four public hearings. For budgeting purposes, an average of two project team meetings per month between the months of June, 2004 and February, 2005 (excepting the 45 -day review period) is assumed, for a total of 15 project team meetings. If attendance at community outreach meetings or public workshops is required, these will be extra services. Task 4. Preparation of Administrative Draft EIR. The EIR will focus on only the issues anticipated to be impacted by the project: Traffic (see Task 3 above). The EIR will summarize the traffic report (which will be an appendix to the EIR). 3 Land Use /Aesthetics. The EIR will summarize the requested land use approvals for the project (General Plan Amendment, Newport Place Community Plan text amendment) Use Permit). The EIR will document the existing regulations and the requested changes. The applicable height limits including the height limit due to the site's proximity to the airport will be identified and the project's consistency with these requirements documented. Views of the project will be discussed. The multi -story project garage will be visible in medium -range views. Project visibility from public vantage points will be discussed. Photomontages are not proposed at the present time. However, if available from the architect they could be incorporated in to the analysis. Architectural treatment of the garage is proposed to reduce the appearance of a monolithic uninteresting structure. The proposed architectural treatments will be described and discussed with respect to the context of the proposed structures. There are a number of mid- and high -rise buildings in the project vicinity. Air Quality. Project construction and potentially even operation have the potential to cause air quality impacts. Typically, but not always, potential impacts can be mitigated through standard mitigation measures. ESA will document construction emissions including construction worker and equipment usage and grading (dust) impacts. Operational impacts will also be documented based on the traffic report. Water Quality. The project already has a Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan. Runoff from the site would discharge into the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4), and would be subject to the City's water quality rules and regulations for storm water and non -storm water discharges. Potential discharge from the site will be discussed and the effectiveness of proposed treatment options evaluated. The EIR will include a Project Description describing the project and detailing anticipated operations relevant to the impact analyses. Potential Alternatives to the project will be identified; focusing on alternatives that could reduce any identified significant adverse impact(s). In coordination with the City of Newport Beach, and as applicable, City of Irvine, cumulative projects will be identified. The EIR will include a summary and all sections required by the California Environmental Quality Act. Task 5. Response to City and Team Comments. ESA will submit the Administrative Draft EIR to the City and project team for review. Critical sections /analyses will be submitted in advance as they are completed. The complete Administrative Draft EIR will include the Final Traffic Study. ESA (and Kimley -Horn as necessary) will respond to City comments on the Administrative Draft EIR. Task 6. Response to Public and Agency Comments. On completion of the EIR circulation period (usually 45 days), ESA and Kimley -Horn will respond to all comments received on the Draft EIR and prepare an Addendum format Final EIR. 0 M Task 7. Mitigation Monitoring Plan. Esa will prepare a mitigation monitoring and reporting plan for any identified mitigation measures. The monitoring plan will identify the party responsible for the monitoring and the timing of the monitoring activity. The plan will also identify what constitutes "clearance" of the measure. Task 8. Findings of Fact, Statement of Overriding Considerations. As necessary, ESA will assist City staff in preparing any required Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations. Task 9. Printing and Distribution of Reports. ESA will print and distribute reports as necessary, For budgeting purposes we are assuming printing and mailing 50 NOP's and Initial Studies, 75 Draft EIR's and 50 Final EIR's. 5 31 Project Schedule Milestone Date Draft Scope of Work for EIR June 16, 2004 Driveway Location from Traffic Consultant June 21, 2004 Final Scope of Work for EIR June 23, 2004 Receipt of Project Application July 12, 2004 EIR Consultant Contract to City Council July 13, 2004 Initial Stud /Notice of Preparation Distributed July 30, 2004 Preliminary Traffic Study Report August 15, 2004 Notice of Preparation Comment Period Ends August 30, 2004 Draft General Plan Amendment Se tember 6, 2004 Final Traffic Study Report September 15, 2004 Draft Planned Community Development Plan Text September 15, 2004 First Screencheck EIR Completed September 30, 2004 City Comments to ESA October 15, 2004 2nd Draft Planned Community Development Plan Text October 8, 2004 Second Screencheck EIR Completed October 29, 2004 City Comments to ESA November 15, 2004 Final GPA Text/Final PC Development Plan Text November 9, 2004 Notice of Completion - Draft EIR Circulated (45 days) November 29, 2004 Draft EIR Circulation Ends January 12, 2005 Draft Response to Comments February 1, 2005 City Comments to ESA February 15, 2005 Final EIR March 9. 2005 Draft Planning Commission Staff Report to City March 18, 2005 Planning Commission Staff Report Publication Aril 1, 2005 Planning Commission Public Hearing Aril 7, 2005 Draft City Council Staff Report to City Aril 27, 2005 City Council Staff Report Publication May 4, 2005 City Council Public Hearing I May 10, 2005 City Council PC Text 2" Reading May 24, 2005 End 30 -Day Referendum Period June 23, 2005 22 Z EXHIBIT "B" SCHEDULE OF COMPENSATION PROJECT FEES Fees for preparation of the EIR for Newport Lexus are shown below.
