TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Planning Department
James Campbell, Senior Planner
949 - 644 -3210; jampbell@city.newport- beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: Establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee for negotiating an
amendment to the Hoag Hospital Development Agreement
RECOMMENDATIONS
1) Adopt the attached resolution creating an Ad Hoc Committee for negotiating an
amendment to the Hoag Hospital Development Agreement to consist of two (2)
Council Members; and
2) Confirm the Mayor's appointments of and to the
Committee.
BACKGROUND
In 1994, The City entered into a development agreement with Hoag Memorial Hospital
to provide for the orderly development of the planned hospital expansion. The stated
purpose of the agreement was to enable Hoag to adapt to the ever changing health
care needs of the community by authorizing new and remodeled facilities while
providing safeguards to avoid environmental impacts to the extent feasible. Additionally,
exactions were imposed to provide general public benefits. At the same time, the City
adopted the Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian Planned Community Development
Criteria and District Regulations that act as the implementing regulations of the General
Plan and the development agreement.
Hoag has requested a General Plan Amendment and an amendment to the Planned
Community regulations to transfer building area from the lower campus to the upper
campus. The request is in response to the changing needs of the health care industry
and Hoag's ability to meet that need. Based upon the nature of the requested changes,
the project requires an amendment to the approved development agreement.

DISCUSSION
Staff is suggesting that an ad hoc committee be established by the Council to negotiate
the terms and conditions of the proposed amendment to the existing development
agreement. The committee should be comprised of 2 or 3 Council Members although a
different composition can be considered. The attached draft resolution establishes the
Committee with 2 Council Members. Committee members would be appointed by the
Mayor and the duration of the committee will be fairly short as staff hopes to conclude
the process within the next 90 days.
Environmental Review
Establishment of an ad hoc committee is not a project as defined by the California
Environmental Quality Act, so no environmental review is required.
Public Notice
No public notice is required for this consideration. However, this item is on the City
Council Agenda, which is posted at City Hall, and is also available on the City's web
site.
