Development Agreement Annual Compliance Review
ISSUE
Annual review to determine if Hoag is in good faith compliance with the Development
Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
After review of the supplementary material submitted by Hoag, conduct public hearing
and determine that Hoag is in good faith interim compliance with the Development
Agreement.
BACKGROUND
The City Council conducted a public hearing on April 27, 2010, on Hoag's compliance
with the terms of the Development Agreement. City Council determined that Hoag is in
good faith compliance with the Development Agreement with the exception of their
efforts to implement required noise mitigation at the main loading dock. Questions were
also raised about vapor plume reduction at the cogeneration plant. City Council
continued the public hearing and directed Hoag to submit a plan to address loading
dock noise mitigation.
Hoag submitted additional noise compliance information, cogeneration plan operational
data and a plan to address noise to implement noise mitigation at the loading dock. That
information was reviewed at the June 22, 2010, meeting. The meeting was continued to
this meeting due to unresolved issues regarding noise mitigation at the loading dock
and cogeneration plant plume reduction.
On August 13, 2010, Hoag submitted a supplemental compliance report that includes a
comprehensive noise compliance report, information regarding cogeneration plant
plume reduction, and a new plan for noise mitigation at the loading dock.

DISCUSSION
1. Noise Compliance Report
Hoag's noise consultant, RS Acoustics, has prepared a revised comprehensive
noise compliance report based upon the City's noise consultant's review. The
revised report provides clarification and concludes that Hoag is in compliance with
applicable noise limits provided within the Hoag Hospital Planned Community Text.
2. Cogeneration Plant Energy Curtailment (plume reduction)
Section 8.5 of the amended DA requires Hoag to curtail the cogeneration plant's
effective heat rejection by 33% to reduce plume formation during certain
atmospheric conditions between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM from November 15t to April
30th of each year. Hoag installed a weather station in 2009 that allows them to
identify plume formation conditions as they occur so they can reduce cooling tower
load to reduce the cooling tower plume. As noted in the April 27, 2010, report to the
City Council, several months of weather station data was not provided to staff and
Hoag has subsequently supplied that information to staff. Hoag's supplemental
information indicates that Hoag's engineers comply with the DA through a variety of
techniques depending upon specific operational conditions. The principal method is
to turn off one generator for a month each year for necessary routine maintenance.
Hoag schedules and will continue to schedule maintenance during the months
November through April period. Not operating one generator during the month and
staggering the three generators reduces heat rejection by 33% for three of the six
months. During other three months, Hoag shifts the load to the upper plant and /or
reduces the load of the three generators within the cogeneration plant. Hoag only
does this when atmospheric conditions are ripe for plume formation. The specific
technique on any given day varies and is dependent upon system factors and the
hospital's heating and cooling needs. Hoag's chief engineer of record for the plant
has certified that the plant has been operated in accordance with the energy
curtailment requirement during all 6 months where the energy curtailment is
required. Staff believes that the plant is being operated in compliance with Section
8.5 of the DA.
3. Noise Mitigation — Loading Dock
As noted in the June 22, 2010, report, Hoag will be installing approximately 650
square feet of sound absorbing panels on the west facing wall of the building at the
loading dock. The type of panel is consistent with Mitigation Measure 3.4 -5 and the
amount exceeds the minimum specified, which was 450 square feet. Hoag has
received approval from the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development
(OSHPD) for the installation of the panels. With completion of the installation, which
is scheduled to occur shortly, staff believes Hoag will be in good faith compliance.

Mitigation Measure 3.4 -6 of the SEIR requires relocation of and the construction of a
three -sided enclosure around the existing trash compactor (including a roof). The
existing cardboard bailer is required to be enclosed with a three -sided enclosure as
well. The open sides of each enclosure would face away from residents at Villa
Balboa.
Hoag was previously hesitant to move forward with implementing this mitigation
measure given that they abandoned their plans for the "South Building," which made
investing in the loading dock area desirable from a logistical perspective. Hoag's first
proposal included partial enclosures of the bailer and compactor, but the compactor
was not proposed to be relocated. Hoag was directed to prepare plans that would
comply.
Hoag's new plan provides for an enclosure of the bailer consistent with Mitigation
Measure 3.4 -6. Hoag's new plan for the trash compactor is to enclose the compactor
equipment although the roll -off bin that it is attached to would not be enclosed.
Additionally, the compactor with the bin is not being proposed to be relocated.
Although this proposal is not precisely what Mitigation Measure 3.4 -6 requires, Hoag
has indicated to staff their commitment to relocate the trash compactor and provide
a full enclosure as part of Hoag Hospital's construction of a new structure or
structures on the Upper Campus requiring the transfer of buildable square footage
from the Lower Campus or reconfiguration of the loading dock. In staffs opinion, this
is a good faith partial and substantial compliance with Mitigation Measure 3.4 -6 for
an interim period until such time when the trash compactor will be relocated and full
compliance will be achieved as part of Hoag Hospital's construction of a new
structure or structures on the Upper Campus requiring the transfer of buildable
square footage from the Lower Campus or reconfiguration of the loading dock.
Given that there is no noise violation today as indicated in the comprehensive noise
compliance report, additional mitigation (fill compliance) is not necessary at this time.
In summary, staff believes that Hoag has resolved the outstanding issues from the
prior meetings and is in good faith interim compliance with the terms of the
development agreement acknowledging that the relocation and full enclosure of the
trash compactor will be required as indicated above.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Planning Department
James Campbell, Principal Planner

SUBJECT: Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian
Development Agreement Annual Compliance Review
ISSUE
Should the City Council determine that Hoag is in good faith compliance with the terms
of the Development Agreement?
RECOMMENDATION
Conduct public hearing and determine that Hoag is in good faith compliance with the
terms of the Development Agreement.
DISCUSSION
In 1994, the City executed a Development Agreement (DA) related to the long term
development and expansion of Hoag Hospital. The agreement has a 25 -year term and
expires in 2019. In May of 2008, the DA and the Hoag Planned Community Text (PC
Text) were amended to allow the hospital to increase the intensity of future development
on the upper campus commensurate with a reduction in intensity of future development
of the lower campus. Additional improvements to reduce noise, improve landscaping
within the lower campus, and to reduce the periodic water vapor plume from the
cogeneration plant were required.
Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the City is required to review the agreement
on an annual basis in April to determine Hoag's good faith compliance with the terms of
the agreement. Previous compliance review hearings were conducted in 1996, 1998,
1999, 2008 and 2009 and Hoag was found to be in good faith compliance with the
agreement.
No significant new building projects were initiated during the last year and none were
completed. Due to the present economic downturn, Hoag has suspended all new
buildings and continues to re- examine the entire building program. This includes the
cancellation of the South Building previously planned for the Hoag Upper Campus and
Hoag Hoapital Annual DA Compliance Review
April 27, 2010
Page 2 of 6
an out - patient building and parking structure once planned for the lower campus. Hoag
has been pursuing all noise mitigation improvements and landscaping improvements as
required. The attached project status report prepared by Government Solutions on
behalf of Hoag includes information regarding DA and mitigation measure compliance
over the preceding year for this annual review.
1. Significant New DA provisions
a. Section 5.4 of the amended DA requires an annual review of the DA for
compliance. The review must include a noise regulation compliance assessment.
RS Acoustics prepared a compliance report for the 2009 Annual Compliance
Review that concluded that the Lower and Upper Hoag Campuses were meeting
applicable noise standards with the exception of noise in the area of the Ancillary
Building. Noise from the Ancillary Building, West Tower, West Hoag Road and
the main loading dock contribute to noise that exceeds the nighttime noise
standard by 1 dBA. Mitigation of noise from the Ancillary Building is 100%
complete at this time (see 2c below). Hoag anticipates that with the imminent
completion of the soundwall, compliance will be achieved. A follow -up noise
study will be necessary and should compliance not be achieved, additional
mitigation may be necessary.
b. Section 8.2 of the amended DA requires Hoag to pay $3 million for public
improvements in two installments. The first installment was paid in July 2008 and
the second installment was paid in July 2009.
c. Section 8.3 of the amended DA provides sales & use tax origin provisions. Hoag
is required to include a provision in its general construction contracts, when
contracts exceed $5 million, that the contractors and subcontractors shall
allocate all eligible sales taxes to the City. Hoag has prepared appropriate
language within their Master Services Agreement; however, no qualifying
contracts have been signed within the last reporting period. Hoag is also required
to follow the Direct Payment Permit Process established by the Revenue and
Taxation Code and use the permit for all qualifying individual purchases in
excess of $100,000. One such purchase within the last year was subject to this
procedure. Both of these provisions are ongoing and will be monitored as
necessary. Staff believes Hoag is in good faith compliance.
d. Section 8.4 of the amended DA requires Hoag to reimburse the City $150,000 for
landscaping and irrigation improvements to Sunset View Park. Specifically, the
improvements are planned for a 20,500 square -foot area directly north of the
cogeneration facility that is not presently landscaped. This project has not been
initiated by the City and this reimbursement provision has no completion
requirement date or "sunset' clause and Hoag is prepared to reimburse the City
upon completion of the improvements.

April 27, 2010
Page 3 of 6
e. Section 8.5 of the amended DA requires Hoag to curtail the cogeneration plant's
effective heat rejection by 33% to reduce plume formation during certain
atmospheric conditions between TOOAM and TOOPM from November 1st to April
30th of each year. Hoag installed a weather station in 2009 as required that allows
them to identify plume formation conditions as they occur so they can reduce
cooling tower load to reduce the cooling tower plume. Hoag has submitted
printouts of daily atmospheric conditions and heat load for most months
regulated by the DA and staff has requested the missing months of data.
Additionally, staff has requested a detailed listing of days where atmospheric
conditions necessitated the 33% reduction of effective heat rejection at the
cooling towers. Staff has also requested documentation of the 33% reduction of
effective heat rejection. The DA also requires that Hoag automate the plant's
controls based upon weather station data and staff is awaiting a report on Hoag's
progress in accomplishing system integration. As of the drafting of this report,
Hoag has not supplied the requested information to demonstrate compliance.
Staff anticipates receiving this information in advance of the hearing and will
provide a verbal report.
2. Mitigation & Compliance Update
a. Villa Balboa window replacement — Hoag offered and was obligated through
approval of the Master Plan Update to provide a window replacement program
for 12 condominium units located at 260 Cagney Lane (Project Design Feature
[PDF] 3.4 -1). The program was to be implemented by March of 2009 and the
Villa Balboa Homeowners Association was to provide an estimate for the work
prepared by a qualified contractor for Hoag's approval prior to execution of the
contract. Villa Balboa would make the improvements and Hoag would be
responsible for reimbursement of the approved costs.
Subsequent to the City's adoption of the Master Plan Update and PDF 3.4 -1,
Hoag and Villa Balboa entered into a private agreement to provide window
replacements for 6 additional units at 260 Cagney Lane (18 total units). They
also agreed to a modified set of guidelines to implement the window replacement
program. Under these modified guidelines, Hoag and Villa Balboa each would
provide bid proposals. After a price is agreed upon, Villa Balboa would implement
the program and Hoag would reimburse Villa Balboa those costs plus
administration fees that are capped.
The window replacement program should have been implemented by now. Part
of the delay in implementing the program has been testing for asbestos, which
recently was completed. Asbestos is not a concern, so the program can move
forward. Total costs of the program have been estimated and Villa Balboa has
agreed to the scope of work and costs. Hoag has not yet agreed to the total cost
of the program and Hoag also believes that with the completion of the West Road
soundwall and the previously implemented noise mitigation for the West Tower
and Ancillary Building, compliance with the noise ordinance should be achieved
Hoag Hoapital Annual DA Compliance Review
April 27, 2010
Page 4 of 6
and that the replacement windows might not be needed. Hoag has retained a
qualified noise consultant to prepare a comprehensive noise study and testing
has been completed, but the final report has not been completed. Regardless of
the outcome of noise testing, Hoag must provide funding for the replacement
program should Villa Balboa owners choose to take advantage of it; there is no
flexibility to eliminate the program without an amendment of the DA.
Hoag has pursued the goal of noise reduction and mitigation in good faith and
has been working with Villa Balboa to reach an agreement on the cost of the
replacement windows. However, Hoag has not completed this item.
b. West Road sound wall — The required soundwall is nearly complete. All of the
screening landscaping on the side of the wall that faces Villa Balboa has been
installed. Additional sidewalk and landscaping improvements on the side of the
wall that faces Hoag remain and will be completed in the coming days or weeks.
Hoag has complied with the provisions of the DA requiring the soundwall. The
effectiveness of the wall is being evaluated at this time by a qualified noise
consultant.
c. Ancillary Building and West Tower noise reduction — A noise wall, replacement
kitchen exhaust fan, and an enclosure around the fan have been installed on the
roof of the Ancillary Building. Sound louvers for air handling systems of the West
Tower were completed in 2009. Noise from these buildings has been reduced but
contributes to an overall noise environment that still exceeds nighttime noise
ordinance limits at Villa Balboa by 1 dBA (RS Acoustics January 2010). Hoag
believes that the sound absorbing qualities of the newly- erected soundwall may
address this issue and is in the process of testing this hypothesis now that the
soundwall is effectively complete. Staff is skeptical of this theory due to the
elevation differences between the noise sources, wall and residential units.
Should nighttime noise remain an issue, additional mitigation will need to be
identified. Hoag has implemented all previously identified noise reducing
measures and is in good faith compliance.
d. Truck deliveries to the loading dock — Mitigation measure 3.4 -4 requires truck
deliveries to be restricted to the hours between TOOAM and 8:OOPM. Additional
signage has been installed, staff has been trained, and physical access to West
Road remains closed during these hours. Mitigation measure 3.4 -8 required
signs indicating "no idling" and several signs have been installed. Staff has not
received any complaints about excessive idling and staff believes Hoag is in
good faith compliance.
e. Loading dock sound panels, trash compactor and bailer relocation /enclosure —
Mitigation measures 3.4 -5 and 3.4 -6 require 450 square feet of sound absorbing
panels to be installed on the west facing wall of the loading dock and the
relocation and enclosure of the trash compactor and bailer. These improvements
were to be implemented by November of 2008 and Hoag placed these
Hoag Hoapital Annual DA Compliance Review
April 27, 2010
Page 5 of 6
improvements on hold given their decision to cancel the South Building. Given
that these improvements were designed to facilitate and coordinate the ultimate
construction of the South Building, Hoag no longer considers these
improvements necessary or feasible. Mitigation measures require these
improvements irrespective of any other project or permit so Hoag cannot dismiss
them. The prior year's RS Acoustics report shows that these improvements may
not be necessary given the installation of the soundwall and Hoag proposes to
hold the loading dock improvements in abeyance until the soundwall is
completed and subsequent acoustical testing can be performed to determine
whether or not these improvements are necessary to comply with noise
ordinance limits. Hoag is not compliant with these mitigation requirements.
f. Grease trap cleaning schedule — Mitigation measure 3.4 -8 requires the grease
traps in West Road near Villa Balboa to be cleaned Saturdays between 11:OOAM
and 3:OOPM, rather than during the week at times that often disturbed Villa
Balboa residents. This schedule has been implemented and no reports of any
problems have been received. Staff believes Hoag is in good faith compliance.
g. Cogeneration building lattice screen — This improvement has been completed
and Hoag is in good faith compliance.
h. Lower Campus landscaping — Hoag has just recently begun the installation
process for the landscaping within the parking lot, along the slope above the
lower campus retaining wall and within the landscape area abutting Coast
Highway (the "green screen "). Completion of these improvements is scheduled
for mid -June and staff believes that Hoag is in good faith compliance.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This compliance review is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15321
of the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act. This
section exempts actions by regulatory agencies to enforce or revoke a lease, permit,
license, certificate, or other entitlement for use issued, adopted, or prescribed by the
regulatory agency or enforcement of a law, general rule, standard, or objective,
administered or adopted by the regulatory agency. Construction activities undertaken
would not qualify for this exemption.

Development Agreement Annual Compliance Review
INTRODUCTION
The City Council conducted a public hearing on April 27, 2010, on Hoag's compliance
with the terms of the Development Agreement. City Council determined that Hoag is in
good faith compliance with the Development Agreement with the exception of their
efforts to implement required noise mitigation at the main loading dock. Questions were
also raised about vapor plume reduction at the cogeneration plant. City Council
continued the public hearing and directed Hoag to submit a plan to address loading
dock noise mitigation within 60 days. Hoag submitted a noise mitigation plan and
information related to plume reduction for City Council review.
RECOMMENDATION
After review of the supplementary material submitted by Hoag, conduct public hearing
and continue this item to July 27, 2010, and direct Hoag to prepare and submit
additional information regarding loading dock noise mitigation and cogeneration plant
plume reduction.
DISCUSSION
1. Noise Compliance Report
Hoag's noise consultant, RS Acoustics, has prepared a comprehensive noise
compliance report with noise readings at several locations near noise generating
activities. The report concludes that Hoag is in compliance with applicable noise
limits within the Hoag Hospital Planned Community Text. Staff sent the report to
Fred Greve of Mestre Greve Associates for an independent review. Mr. Greve's
initial assessment of the report is that it is comprehensive, but there are several
areas that require clarification, and additional noise measurements may be
warranted. The City's review is on -going and staff will direct Hoag to correct any
deficiencies.

2. Noise Mitigation — Loading Dock
Mitigation Measure 3.4 -5 of the SEIR requires 450 square feet of sound absorbing
panels to be installed on the west facing wall of the main loading dock area. Hoag
plans to install 650 square feet of sound absorbing panels. Hoag anticipates
submitting the necessary permit applications to the Office of Statewide Health
Planning and Development (OSHPD) by June 17, 2010, with installation to
commence by the end of August 2010. Staff believes Hoag will be in good faith
compliance provided plans are submitted and installation started as anticipated.
Mitigation Measure 3.4 -6 of the SEIR requires relocation of and the construction of a
three -sided enclosure around the existing trash compactor (including a roof). The
existing cardboard bailer is required to be enclosed with a three -sided enclosure as
well. The open sides of each enclosure would face away from residents at Villa
Balboa. Rather than implementing the mitigation measure as stated, Hoag proposes
to leave the trash compactor where it is and to partially enclose it with two walls, one
of which would be comprised of the sound absorbing panels used in the construction
of the newly constructed soundwall. Hoag also proposes to install two walls made of
the same sound absorbing panels around the bailer. As now proposed, neither
enclosure would have a roof. Mr. Greve has reviewed Hoag's alternative proposal
and concluded that Hoag's proposal will not provide a level of mitigation consistent
with that required by Mitigation Measure 3.4 -6. Hoag has been directed to submit
plans that comply with Mitigation Measure 3.4 -6.
3. Noise Mitigation — Villa Balboa Window Replacement Program
Hoag is obligated through approval of the Master Plan Update and a settlement
agreement with Villa Balboa to provide a window replacement program for 18
condominium units located at 260 Cagney Lane. On May 24, 2010, Hoag sent letters
to the owners of the affected units by certified mail informing them of the program
providing owners with 45 days to indicate their desire to participate. Hoag will fund
the window replacement program for those owners who choose to participate. Staff
believes Hoag is acting in good faith and is in compliance.
4. Cogeneration Plant Energy Curtailment
Section 8.5 of the amended DA requires Hoag to curtail the cogeneration plant's
effective heat rejection by 33% to reduce plume formation during certain
atmospheric conditions between 7:OOAM and 7:OOPM from November 1St to April
30th of each year. Hoag installed a weather station in 2009 that allows them to
identify plume formation conditions as they occur so they can reduce cooling tower
load to reduce the cooling tower plume. As noted in the April 27, 2010, report to the
City Council, several months of weather station data was not provided to staff. Hoag
has supplied staff with the missing data and a letter from the engineer of record that
certifies that the plant has been operated in accordance with the energy curtailment
requirement. Staff has requested additional information in support of this conclusion

Please find attached (Attachment 2), copies of the 18 letters that were sent to Villa Balboa residents
providing notice of their eligibility to have windows and sliding glass door(s) in their condominiums
upgraded as part of the Noise Abatement Program being offered by Hoag. These letters were sent on
May 24, 2010 by certified mail return receipt requested and gave each owner a 45 -day period to
respond with a request to participate in the Noise Abatement Program. The eligible condominium
owners were informed that the windows and sliding glass door(s) noise attenuation improvements will
be installed by a qualified and licensed contractor retained by the Villa Balboa Community Association,
the cost of which shall be reimbursed by Hoag to the Association pursuant to the bid estimate approved
by the City of Newport Beach.
Once this 4S -day period to respond has run, Hnag will fund the window installations for those residents,
responding to the notice. Hoag is in good faith compliance with this mitigation measure and will fully
meet its obligations by funding the windows and sliding glass door(s).
5—
Mitigation Measures 3.4- 2/3.4 -3
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning for Ancillary Building and West Tower.
March 12, 2010 Report•
As of last year's update, Hoag had proceeded in good faith to complete the requirements of
these mitigation measures in the following manner. The West Tower sound louvers were
installed on January 9, 2009 and were sound tested in February and met noise standards. The
Ancillary Building roof top sound wall was completed in August, 2008. The plans for the
relocation of the kitchen exhaust equipment into a mechanical enclosure for the Ancillary
Building are completed and were submitted to OSHPD on August 22, 2008 and permits were
received on March 17, 2009.
The final permit showing completion of the project by OSHPD is attached.
During this last year, Hoag finished the work required in these mitigation measures and as noted
in the above referenced noise analysis by RS Acoustics (Attachment 1), Hoag has redesigned the
kitchen exhaust fans and penthouse enclosure located on the rooftop of the ancillary building
per the requirements. With the completion of these improvements, Hoag complies with the day
time noise standards and is slightly higher by 1 dBE than the requirement in the nighttime. Once
the Sound Wall is complete, Hoag anticipates it will be in complete compliance with all noise
standards.
June, 2010 Update:
Please find attached, an updated Acoustical Study, completed on April 26, 2010, by RS Acoustics, Inc.
This study was conducted after the new sound wall along West Hoag Drive was complete. Per the study,
(see section 3. 1, page 17), Hoag meets or exceeds the noise standards as set forth in the Development
Agreement and is now in full compliance with the noise requirements. (Attachment 3)
Mitigation Measure 3.4 -5 — Loading Dock Sound Absorption Panels
"Sound absorption panels on the east wall of the loading dock shall be installed. Approximately
450 square feet of absorptive panels shall be used to cover major portions of the back of the
loading dock area. The Noise -Foil panels by Industrial Acoustics or a panel with an equivalent or
better sound rating shall be used"
Per the attached sketch, labeled "Mitigation Measures, 3.4 -5 and 3.4 -6 ", Sound Panels of approximately
650 square feet ( 200 square feet more than required by the mitigation measure) made with Noise Foil
Panels will be mounted to the building, per the mitigation measure. (Attachment 4)
It is anticipated that the plans will be submitted to OSHPD by June 17, 2010, and construction will
commence by the end of August, 2010.
16
Mitigation Measure 3.4 -6 — Relocation of the Trash Compactor
"The trash compactor shall be relocated within the loading dock. The trash compactor and baler
shall be enclosed in a three -sided structure. The walls shall be concrete block or similar masonry
construction. The roof shall be lightweight concrete roof or a plywood surface with concrete
tiles; a built -up roof with 5'5" of insulation on the inside would be an acceptable alternative. The
open side shall face away from the residents. Doors may be on the side of the enclosure facing
residents, but must be closed when the baler or compactor are operating. The compactor and
baler should only be operated between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM."
This mitigation measure will be met in the following manner, per the two attached sketches, "Modified
Loading Dock Plan -June 12, 2010 ". The trash compactor area currently has one exterior louvered wall
adjacent to it. Hoag is proposing to install a modified enclosure on the two remaining exterior exposed
areas facing West Hoag Drive as follows; the front gate will be constructed with the Sound Fighter wall
materials, the north wall will be constructed with an exterior grade framed lath and plaster insulated
wall system. The baler will be partially enclosed on two sides with the Sound Fighter panels.
(Attachment 4)
The doors will be closed when the compactor is operating. The compactor and baler will be operated
between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Plans will be submitted to both the City and OSHPD within 90 days.

Subject: Hoag Hospital Cogeneration Plant (Co -Gen) Mitigation
Cooling Tower Plume Mitigation Operations Protocol
The procedure to react to weather condition that could result in a cooling tower plume will
include the following steps by the programmed Energy Management Control System (EMS):
1. When the EMS records and reports conditions at the Co -Gen weather station where the
Temperature (T) is less that 55 °F and Relative Humidity (RH) is greater that 55 %, the
EMS determines if the time is between 7 a.m. (07:00) and 7 p.m. (19:00).
2. If the time is outside 7 and 7, then continue monitoring T and RH.
3. If the time is inside 7 and 7 then the EMS automatically calculates heat rejection load.
4. The EMS determines if the calculated heat rejection is greater than 46.2 M BTU /hr.
S. If heat rejection is less than 46.2 M BTU /hr. then the EMS continues monitoring T and
RH.
6. If the calculated heat rejection is greater than 46.2 M BTU /hr., then the EMS
automatically alerts the operator with audible and visual alarms for heat reduction
operations.
7. The EMS automatically logs the event for auditing and reporting.
B. The EMS starts a delay timer for 15 minutes to confirm the T and RH conditions.
9. If the conditions continue then the EMS automatically alerts the operator to commence
heat rejections reduction procedures.
10. The EMS automatically calculates the reduction requirements and recommends one or a
combination of the following:
Secure steam chiller /absorber equipment.
• Redirect Chill Water (CHW) to other equipment and /or locations.
• Secure generation equipment.
11. The EMS automatically logs or trends the event and all Co -Gen equipment operations.
12. The EMS will automatically alert the operator when Co -Gen operations can return to
normal.
13. At all times the EMS continues to monitor T and RH.

June, 2010 Supplement for
March 31, 2009 through March 12, 2010
Second Annual Review of the Development Agreement
Between the City of Newport Beach
And Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian
On April 27, 2010, the Newport Beach City Council held a public hearing on Hoag Memorial Hospital
Presbyterian — Development Agreement Annual Compliance Review for the period of March 31,2009
through March 12, 2010 and determined Hoag Hospital to be in good faith compliance with the terms of
the Development Agreement except for certain conditions and mitigation measures discussed in the public
hearing.
This report has therefore been prepared as a supplement to the March 12, 2010, Second Annual Review of
the Development Agreement to provide further information requested by the staff and City Council.
Additionally, it should be noted that an additional supplemental report was completed in June, 2010, which
was submitted to City Staff and reference herein.
June . 2010 Supplement: Cogeneration Plant Energy Curtailment
Monthly Cogeneration Plant Reports for the months of July, August, October, November, December 2009,
and January, February 2010, were attached in the March 12`" report. As a supplement to that report, the
reports for the months of March and April 2010, were submitted to City Staff on disc.
Additionally, a memo from the Engineer of Record, Michael Trzepacz, P.E. which provided a Period
Summary report has been submitted to City Staff.
August, 2010 Supplement: Cogeneration Plant Energy Curtailment
During the months of October 2009 to April 2010, the weather station on Hoag's Lower Campus provided
data to the Co- generation plant operators and activated the alarm when the identified plume atmospheric
conditions were present. When the alarm sounded, staff confirmed the cooling tower heat rejection load
(BTU /hr) levels were below the established threshold criteria for tower heat rejection. If conditions were
under the threshold for heat rejection no additional action was necessary and none was taken. (Should the
levels be above the established threshold, additional action would be taken, including a load shift to the
upper campus power plant). During the months of October 2009 through April 2010 there were no times
when the cooling tower heat rejection load exceeded the threshold limit resulting in maximizing responses
to prevailing weather conditions due to the following.
October, November and December 2009 - Scheduled maintenance of each of the three Caterpillar
generators and absorption units allowed Hoag to insure heat rejection remained at 66% of full capacity by
taking down one generator and chiller per month during this period.
January, February, March and April 2010 - Protocols were put into place to utilize a combination of thermal
loading and load shifting to the Upper Campus power plant to proactively manage the heat rejection to the
prescriptive levels.
Mitigation Measures and PC Text Requirements
Noise — West Hoag Drive
June, 2010 Supplement
Mitigation Measure: PDF 3.4 -1— Villa Balboa Window Installation
Copies of the 18 letters that were sent to Villa Balboa residents providing notice of their eligibility to have
windows and sliding glass door(s) in their condominiums upgraded as part of the Noise Abatement Program
being offered by Hoag were submitted to City Staff. These letters were sent on May 24, 2010 by certified
mail return receipt requested and gave each owner a 45 -day period to respond with a request to
participate in the Noise Abatement Program. The eligible condominium owners were informed that the
windows and sliding glass door(s) noise attenuation improvements will be installed by a qualified and
licensed contractor retained by the Villa Balboa Community Association, the cost of which shall be
reimbursed by Hoag to the Association pursuant to the bid estimate approved by the City of Newport
Beach.
Once this 45 -day period to respond has run, Hoag will fund the window installations for those residents,
responding to the notice. Hoag is in good faith compliance with this mitigation measure and will fully meet
its obligations by funding the windows and sliding glass door(s).
August, 2010 Supplement
As of August 10, 2010, all eligible Villa Balboa condominium owners have responded positively indicating
their election to participate in the Noise Abatement Program. Based on the responses, Hoag has fulfilled its
full obligation under this mitigation measure by depositing a check in the amount of $499,142.00 into the
IronStone Bank, established by the Villa Balboa Community Association for escrowing the funds to fully pay
for the condominium windows /sliding glass doors upgrades.
Mitigation Measures 3.4- 2/3.4 -3
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning for Ancillary Building and West Tower.
March 12, 2010 Report:
As of last year's update, Hoag had proceeded in good faith to complete the requirements of these
mitigation measures in the following manner. The West Tower sound louvers were installed on
January 9, 2009 and were sound tested in February and met noise standards. The Ancillary Building
roof top sound wall was completed in August, 2008. The plans for the relocation of the kitchen
exhaust equipment into a mechanical enclosure for the Ancillary Building are completed and were
submitted to OSHPD on August 22, 2008 and permits were received on March 17, 2009.
The final permit showing completion of the project by OSHPD was submitted to City Staff.
During this last year, Hoag finished the work required in these mitigation measures and as noted it
—' the above referenced noise analysis by RS Acoustics, Hoag has redesigned the kitchen exhaust fans
and penthouse enclosure located on the rooftop of the ancillary building per the requirements. With
the completion of these improvements, Hoag complies with the day time noise standards and is
slightly higher by 1 dBA than the requirement in the nighttime. Once the Sound Wall is complete,
Hoag anticipates it will be in complete compliance with all noise standards.
June, 2010 Supplement
An updated Acoustical Study, completed on April 26, 2010, by RS Acoustics, Inc. was submitted to City Staff.
This study was conducted after the new sound wall along West Hoag Drive was complete. Per the study,
Hoag meets or exceeds the noise standards as set forth in the Development Agreement and is now in full
compliance with the noise requirements.
August, 2010 Supplement
Please find attached (August Attachment 1), an updated Acoustical Study, completed on August 1, 2010 by
RS Acoustics, Inc. The study concludes (see section 3.1 p. 18) that Hoag meets or exceeds the noise
standards as set forth in the Development Agreement and is now in full compliance with the noise
requirements.
June, 2010 Supplement
Mitigation Measure 3.4 -5 — Loading Dock Sound Absorption Panels
"Sound absorption panels on the east wall of the loading dock shall be installed. Approximately 450
square feet of absorptive panels shall be used to cover major portions of the back of the loading
dock area. The Noise -Foil panels by Industrial Acoustics or a panel with an equivalent or better
sound rating shall be used"
A sketch was submitted to City Staff, labeled "Mitigation Measures, 3.4 -5 and 3.4 -6 ", Sound Panels of
approximately 950 square feet ( 500 square feet more than required by the mitigation measure) made with
Noise Foil Panels will be mounted to the building, per the mitigation measure.
It was anticipated that the plans would be submitted to OSHPD by June 17, 2010, and construction would
commence by the end of August, 2010.
August, 2010 Supplement
On July 13, 2010, OSHPD has issued building permit (August Attachment 2) for the Loading Dock Sound
Panels.
Construction has commenced and will be completed by September 10, 2011.
June, 2010 Supplement
Mitigation Measure 3.4 -6 — Relocation of the Trash Compactor
"The trash compactor shall be relocated within the loading dock. The trash compactor and baler
shall be enclosed in a three -sided structure. The walls shall be concrete block or similar masonry
construction. The roof shall be lightweight concrete roof or a plywood surface with concrete tiles; a
built -up roof with 5'5" of insulation on the inside would be an acceptable alternative. The open side
shall face away from the residents. Doors may be on the side of the enclosure facing residents, but
must be closed when the baler or compactor are operating. The compactor and baler should only
be operated between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM."
This mitigation measure will be met in the following manner. The trash compactor area currently has one
exterior louvered wall adjacent to it. Hoag is proposing to install a modified enclosure on the two
remaining exterior exposed areas facing West Hoag Drive as follows; the front gate will be constructed with
the Sound Fighter wall materials, the north wall will be constructed with an exterior grade framed lath and
plaster insulated wall system. The baler will be partially enclosed on two sides with the Sound Fighter
panels.
The doors will be closed when the compactor is operating. The compactor and baler will be operated
between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Plans were to be submitted to both the City and OSHPD within 60 days.
August. 2010 Supplement
Based on further input from City Staff, the trash compactor area has been redesigned as follows: (See
attached photos and drawing of the Enclosure for Trash Compactor & Baler — August Attachment 3)
The trash compactor /sanitizer will be enclosed on the north and south sides with an exterior metal
panel system. The interior of the walls will be lined with Noise Foil Panels as recommended by the
acoustical engineer. The roof will be constructed of metal decking with a waterproof membrane
and be constructed similar to the north and south walls and will have a bellow material to wrap
around the trash enclosure to allow for movement. The east wall of the compactor /sanitizer will be
open for access.
The west wall of the loading dock will be lined from north to south with Noise Foil Panels as
recommended by the acoustical engineer.
The baler will be constructed with three walls on the east, west, and south sides. The north side will
remain open for access. The roof of the baler enclosure will be constructed of the same materials
as the compactor /sanitizer roof structure noted above.
The compactor and baler will be operated between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Plans will be submitted to both the City and OSHPD within 60 days.
With the construction of the Trash Compactor and Baler Enclosure as described above, Hoag believes they
are in good faith partial and substantial compliance with the Mitigation Measure for an interim period until
such time when the trash compactor will be relocated and full compliance will be achieved as part of Hoag's
construction of a new structure or structures on the Upper Campus requiring the transfer of buildable
square footage from the Lower Campus and reconfiguration of the loading dock.

1.1 Proiect Descrii3tion
Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian is located at One Hoag Drive in Newport Beach, California as
shown on the vicinity map on Figure 1. The hospital campus is split into two distinct planning sections
described as the "Upper Campus" to the north, and the "Lower Campus" to the south.
The Upper Campus section is bordered by Hospital Road to the north, West Hoag Drive to the west,
Newport Boulevard (55) to the east, and a hospital multi -level parking structure extends south to the
Newport Blvd. off -ramp connecting Newport Blvd. to Pacific Coast Highway.
The Lower Campus section is bordered to the north by Sunset View Park and Villa Balboa townhomes,
Superior Avenue to the west, Newport Blvd. to the east, and the southern boundary is bounded by
Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1).
Recently a new acoustical barrier ranging from 18' to 23' high was constructed along the west side of
West Hoag Drive to shield loading dock generated noise from the residences immediately west of the
site. The barrier is constructed of perforated material with a sound absorptive filler on the side facing
towards the hospital, and a solid material facing towards the residences of the Villa Balboa Complex.
1.2 Community Noise Assessment Metrics
In general, community noise measurements or assessments refer to descriptions of the exterior noise
environment in the vicinity of inhabited areas. Descriptions of noise usually include the time and spatial
variations in the outdoor noise environment throughout a specific area so that descriptions are relevant to
the effect on people within the specified area.
Outdoor noise environments vary greatly in magnitude and character among locations throughout a
community — from the quiet suburban areas bordering on farmland, to the din of traffic in downtown city
streets. They generally vary with time of day, being relatively quiet at night when activities are minimal
and noisier in moming and afternoons during peak traffic periods.
Noise or unwanted sound is complex and may be comprised of a broad range of sounds often including
low and high frequency components, which may also occur at differing decibel levels. To help simplify
and quantify the human judgment of relative loudness and provide a simple single- number rating
system, the A- weighting network was developed.
A- weighted sound level "db(A)" is one of the most widely used methods of stating community noise
design goals and regulations in terms of a single number rating system. A- weighted sound levels are
obtained with a sound level meter incorporating an electronic weighting network that de- emphasizes the
low frequency portions of the noise spectrum, to automatically compensate for the lower sensitivity of the
human ear to low frequency sounds. High frequency components of sound, 100011z and above are
relatively unchanged in A- weighting networks as the human ear is fairly equally sensitive to all sounds
occurring in this high frequency range. The single A- weighted number is the sum of all A- weighted
sound energy within a given range incorporating the 32Hz to 8000Hz octave bands.

The City of Newport Beach, as is typical of most other cities, utilizes A- weighted sound levels in their
noise ordinance to quantify allowable noise levels which are averaged over a specific time period. This
time component is specified to allow for varying noise conditions such as the fluctuating noise levels
associated with vehicular traffic stopping or accelerating from an intersection, The resultant level would
be the average of all sound levels measured within the stated time period.
Vicinity Map
Figure 1
The noise ordinance of The City of Newport Beach requires that noise measurements be conducted and
averaged over a 15 minute period, with a sound level meter set for a slow response averaging time. The
result is termed a "15 minute L9", (Equivalent Noise Level) and is measured and presented in A-
weighted decibels levels. By definition, a 15 minute Leg is the A- weighted sound level corresponding to a
steady -state sound level containing the same total energy as a time- varying signal over the 15 minute
period.
For brief or short duration sounds such as sounds from impacts, The City of Newport Beach utilizes the
Lma. metric or Maximum Sound Level. This metric is also expressed in A- weighted decibels, and per the
requirements of the ordinance is measured at the slow response averaging time. Lma. noise levels
quantify the highest sound level measured or recorded during a designated time interval or event.

1.5 Summary of Noise Standards and Criteria
In general, there are two discrete and separate noise sources generated within the Hoag Hospital campus
that are the main objectives of this report. The first being building mechanical equipment noise from
fixed sources, and the second being the fluctuating noise activity associated with the daytime operation of
the main loading dock.
Based on the Planned Community Development Criteria and District Regulations in the previous section,
hospital building mechanical equipment should comply with the standards of the City of Newport Beach,
and noise generated in the general area of the loading dock area is to comply with the standards of the PC
development Criteria.
Per the City ordinance, the location for measuring exterior noise levels in a residential area shall be at any
part of a private yard, patio, deck or balcony normally used for human activity. Per the PC text, the
location for measuring loading dock activity shall be directly at the property line.
Our measurements of mechanical equipment were on Hoag Hospital property near or at the property line
and also on the residential property allowable by City ordinance. Because sound level decreases with

increased distance from the source, we would anticipate that the mechanical equipment noise levels
measured at the property line would be slightly less if they were measured within the unoccupied areas
of the residential complex.
1.6 Test Equipment
Noise levels measurements were conducted with the following equipment which was calibrated
immediately prior to and following the test procedures:
• Larson Davis Type 824 Type 1 integrating one -third octave band sound level meter
• Larson Davis Model PRM902 microphone preamplifier
• Larson Davis Type CAL200 precision Class 1 sound level calibrator calibrated to a reference
traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
• Larson Davis Type 25601/2' microphone accepted to meet the specifications of IEC 60651 and
ANSI 51.4 -1983 Type 1.
The measurement equipment satisfies the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard 1.4 for
Type 1 precision sound level measurements.
2.1 Ancillary Building and West Tower Mechanical Equipment
Noise level measurements of the Ancillary building rooftop mechanical equipment and West Tower
Mechanical Equipment room were conducted on 13 April 2010 starting at 12:00 am (midnight) when the
influence of offsite noise sources and traffic is reduced. hl order to measure the worst case noise levels,
we utilized a 35' telescoping microphone stand to elevate the measuring microphone to an elevation
intersecting the rooftop equipment and the upper level condominium residences which have a fairly
direct line of sight to the rooftop.
The measurement positions were approximately 15' east of the West Hoag Drive curb nearest the
property line due to the fenced off construction zone area. See Appendix sheet A -2 for ancillary building
measuring locations and sheet A -3 for West Tower mechanical equipment measuring locations.
2.1.1 Ancillary Building Rooftop Mechanical Equipment
There is an acoustical barrier located along the parapet of the Ancillary building which extends
from approximately 18" above the deck to T above the deck intended to shield and reduce noise
levels of the rooftop located mechanical equipment. In addition to this acoustical barrier the
nearby existing building parapet helps provide attenuation of rooftop mechanical equipment noise
which may be flanking through the void underneath the barrier.
It is our understanding that all four (4) kitchen grease exhaust fans in the rooftop penthouse were
operating during our test. The balance of the rooftop equipment including condensers and
multiple mushroom exhaust fans also appeared to be operating.
The noise levels were relatively constant over the duration of the test with mechanical equipment
being the primary contributor with minor short - duration offsite noises being occasionally audible.

Page 10
The measurements resulted in a 15 minute averaged noise level of Leq 51 dB(A) from Ancillary
building rooftop equipment thus satisfying the maximum nighttime allowable Leq 55 dB(A) set
forth by the Planned Community Development Criteria.
2.1.2 West Tower Mechanical Equipment Room
There is an uninterrupted and direct line of sight between the measurement position on the
roadbed and the west facing louvers serving the mechanical room. However to reduce any
potential effects of reflections and directivity, we utilized a 35' telescoping microphone stand to
elevate the measuring microphone to an elevation close to the louvers and to the upper level
condominium residences which also have a fairly direct line of sight to the louvers.
The noise levels generated by the mechanical room resulted in noise levels of Leq 50.8 dB(A). These
levels however most probably include some noise contribution from the mechanical equipment
located on the Ancillary building roof. We did not verify what equipment within the mechanical
room was operating during our test.
The 15 minute averaged noise level of Leq 50.8 dB(A) generated by the West Tower Mechanical
Equipment Room satisfies the maximum nighttime allowable Leq 55 dB(A) set forth by the Planned
Community Development Criteria.
2.2 Main Loading Dock
2.2.1 Daytime Noise Measurements & Activity
Measurements were conducted on 12 April 2010 during the approximate period between the hours
of 6:30 am to 9:00 am. Minor construction was still occurring on West Hoag Road to complete the
finish details of the acoustical barrier. This work necessitated the closure of the southbound lane of
West Hoag Road. An additional measurement was conducted at the west side of the barrier on 21
June 2010 at 12:45 pm at an elevation of 25' above grade to determine the loading dock noise levels
impacting the residences at this higher elevation. Construction along Hoag Drive had been
completed prior to our test and both lanes of traffic were open.
Measurements were conducted at both east (hospital side) and west (residential side) of the new
acoustical barrier.
Residential (West) Side of Acoustical Barrier
Five (5) separate measurement locations on the west side of the acoustical barrier at 10', 15', and 25'
elevations are shown in the Appendix sheets A -4 through A -9.
Dock - related activity included deliveries, compactor operation and palletizing cardboard, forklift
operation, carts rolling on dock, and occasional unidentified "banging" or hammering noise
generated in the loading dock and construction areas.
Three separate measurements were conducted during "normal" loading dock operating conditions
in the absence of any substantial noise events such as large tractor - trailer deliveries. Positions 1, 3,

Page 11
and 4 shown in Appendix sheets A -4, A -6, and A -7 resulted in measured noise levels of Leq 51.4
dB(A), Leq 53.7 dB(A), and Leq 54.0 dB(A) respectively.
During our measurement program, the Sani -Pak container (dumpster) was removed from the dock
parking lot. This operation which includes impact sounds and high engine rpm reached 56.8
dB(A) Leq when measured at the residential side of the acoustical barrier. See sheet A -5 in the
appendix for additional information. Approximately 45 minutes subsequent to this event, the
emptied Sani -Pak container was delivered back to the loading dock which generated 56.4 dB(A) LRq
at the residential side of the barrier. (See sheet A -8).
When measured at the residential side of the acoustical barrier, the 15 minute averaged noise levels
ranging from Leg 51.4 dB(A) to Leq 54.0 dB(A) during "normal" dock operations, and the Leq 56.4
dB(A) to Leq 56.8 dB(A) levels generated during Sani -Pak removal and delivery satisfy the
maximum allowable LRq 65 dB(A) set forth by the Planned Community Development Criteria.
Hospital (East) Side of Acoustical Barrier
Measurements were conducted at the east side of the barrier at the curb of West Hoag Drive
directly across from the loading dock. The measuring microphone was located at an elevation of 5'
above the road bed for the entirety of the measurement program.
Typical dock operations included medium truck deliveries and cardboard compactor operations
however large tractor trailer rigs were not present. Noise levels of 75.7 dB(A) L.., and a 15 minute
average of 59.9 dB(A) Leq were recorded. See appendix sheet A -10 for additional information.
Large truck deliveries entered the dock from the north along West Hoag Drive. Generally, to back
into the dock, the trucks must be maneuvered in a manner which places the truck motor and
exhaust fairly close to the property line and measuring microphone. Two (2) separate tests were
conducted during large truck arrival and maneuvering to the loading dock. The first test resulted
in an average level of LQq 72.3 dB(A) and an L... 84.1 dB(A), and the second test resulted in an
average level of Leq 71.1 dB(A) and an L... 98.3 dB(A). See appendix sheets A -12 and A -13
respectively for additional information.
The text of the Planned Community Development Criteria exempts vehicles from the applicable
noise standards. The PC text also uses the property line adjacent to the loading dock as the
location of measurements to determine ordinance compliance. It is reasonable to assume that the
maximum allowable noise levels of the PC text would pertain to those impacting the residences, or
the levels measured at the residential side of the acoustical barrier.
The noise levels measured on Hoag Hospital property are well within the property line, and east of
the new acoustical barrier should therefore be exempt from the formal requirements of the PC text.
That being said, the measured 15 minute average Leq 59.9 dB(A) due to "normal" dock operations
described above satisfy the maximum allowable L q 65 dB(A) set forth by the Planned Community
Development Criteria.

Page 12
2.2.2 Nighttime Noise Measurements & Activity
Acoustical measurements near the loading dock at both sides of the acoustical barrier were
conducted on 12 April 2010 starting at approximately 10:00 pm. As the loading dock is closed
during the nighttime hours, the predominant noise source was offsite traffic, and to a lesser degree
mechanical equipment at the hospital.
At the east side of the barrier along the curb of Hoag Road, we measured noise levels of 64.6 dB(A)
Lmax, and a 15 minute average of 52.5 dB(A) Uq were recorded. (See sheet A -13).
At the west side of the barrier near the residential buildings, the nighttime noise levels measured at
Position 4 were 45.4 dB(A) Leq with the microphone at a 10' elevation above the landscaping thus
satisfying the maximum allowable L, 55 dB(A) noise levels set forth by the Planned Community
Development Criteria. (See sheet A -14).
2.2.3 Supplementary Mitigation Measures
Although activity levels from the hospital loading dock are effectively mitigated and satisfy the PC
Development Criteria, it is our understanding that additional noise control enclosures are
proposed for installation at the cardboard baler and the compactor in the loading dock area.
The baler would be enclosed on three sides with acoustical panels having sound absorbing
material directly behind a perforated metal facing at the interior side facing the baler, and the
exterior facing would be impervious solid sheet metal. The enclosure would be roofed over with
similar sound absorbing panels.
The beneficial acoustical shielding provided by an enclosure around the baler would directly
reduce noise levels at the residential units, especially those closest to the baler. Additionally the
sound absorptive interior of the enclosure would theoretically absorb almost all sound impinging
upon it and effectively eliminate the sound energy currently reflecting off adjacent buildings, being
directed over to the residences;
A large compactor and container unit is located at the southeast comer of the loading dock. The
primary noise sources of typical daily operation are generated by the power unit, hydraulic ram,
and loading of the compactor by hospital personnel. A noise control enclosure of perforated metal
panels at the walls and at roof which will completely enclose these noise sources, along with a seal
fitting snugly to the compactor will provide a substantial reduction of noise levels by reducing
both direct sound energy, and that which is reflected off the perpendicular walls of the adjacent
buildings.
2.3 Dietary Loading Dock Noise Levels & Activity
2.3.1 Daytime Noise Measurements & Activity
Measurements were conducted on 21 June 2010 starting at approximately 10:00 am at the western
curb of West Hoag Road directly across from the dietary loading dock. The measuring
microphone was located at an elevation of 5' above the road bed for the entirety of the

measurement program. The acoustical barrier along the west side of Hoag Road does not occur
opposite the Dietary Dock.
During the measurement program three (3) small delivery vans entered the loading dock from the
north and two (2) departed to the north. Additionally, the compactor located at the north side of
the loading dock driveway was loaded and operated.
In addition to the deliveries and compactor noise, background noise levels from off -site traffic on
Hospital Road and Newport Blvd. were also audible. See appendix sheet A -15 for location and
additional information.
At the curb directly across from the Dietary Loading dock, the daytime noise levels measured were
found to be Leq 62.1 dB(A) which satisfies the maximum allowable Leq 65 dB(A) noise levels set
forth by the Planned Community Development Criteria for daytime hours.
2.3.2 Nighttime Noise Measurements & Activity
Nighttime noise level measurements were conducted on 12 April 2010 between the hours of 10:30
pm to 11:00 pm.
Our measurement location was at the western curb of West Hoag Drive directly across from the
dietary loading dock. The measuring microphone was located at an elevation of 5' above the road
bed for the entirety of the measurement program. See Appendix pages A -16 for location and
additional data.
Predominant background noise levels observed near the dietary dock area were primarily from
off -site traffic on Hospital Road and Newport Blvd. Hospital mechanical equipment could also be
heard in the background.
Our measurements resulted in a 15 minute Leq 52.0 dB(A), with a maximum recorded level of L.,
69.3 dB(A) at this position which satisfies the maximum allowable L.q 55 dB(A) noise levels set
forth by the Planned Community Development Criteria for nighttime hours.
2.4 Cogeneration Facility Noise Levels & Activity
It is our understanding that the seasonal cooling needs of the hospital require only one (1) of the four (4)
cooling towers in the cogeneration facility to be operational. The number of cooling towers operating
during our test was not verified however by our office.
2.4.1 Daytime Noise Measurements & Activity
Measurements were conducted on 12 April 2010 during the hours of 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm at
approximately 10' from the south face of the condominium at 200 Paris Lane. Measurements were
conducted at two elevations, the first at 4' above the roadbed, shown in appendix sheet A -17, and
the second at 20' above the road bed as shown on sheet A -18 in the appendix.

Page 14
Measurements conducted at the 4' -0" elevation determine the noise levels at the lower first floor
condominium units which benefit from the acoustical shielding provided by the hospital
cogeneration building. The noise levels measured at 20' determine the noise levels experienced at
the third floor of the condominiums which may have a direct line -of -sight to the hospital cooling
towers and minimal acoustical shielding effects. These upper floor units would experience the
greatest noise impact from the cooling towers.
During the daytime measurements, the preponderance of ambient noise experienced was due to
traffic on the nearby Superior Avenue and to a lesser degree from traffic on Pacific Coast Highway.
Except during the quietest moments when traffic flow on Superior was controlled by the signal at
Pacific Coast Highway, noise from the cooling towers and cogeneration facility was considered
inaudible.
With the microphone located at a 4' elevation above the roadbed, we measured L q 52.7 dB(A) for a
15 minute duration and the maximum level recorded was Lm.. 60.7 dB(A). With the microphone
raised to the higher 20' elevation, we measured L� 56.7 dB(A) with a maximum recorded level of
L.. 59.1 dB(A).
This section of the residential area is located within 100' from the Hoag Hospital property line and
therefore would be considered as Zone III — "Mixed -Use Residential" which utilizes maximum
permissible noise level criteria of Leq 50 dB(A) during the night, and Leq 60 dB(A) during the day due to
hospital operations. Maximum levels must not exceed L.. 70 dB(A) during the night and L... 80 during
the day.
With one (1) cooling tower operating, the measured noise levels of Laq 52.7 dB(A) at the 4' elevation and
the L, 56.7 dB(A) at the 20' satisfy the Zone III Noise criteria. The measured L.x 60.7 dB(A)
L... 59.1 dB(A) also satisfies the requirements of the Zone III Noise criteria. These measured levels
however were generated primarily by offsite traffic sources. An accurate measurement of the
cogeneration facility cooling towers can only be accomplished during the nighttime hours when traffic
contribution is at the minimum.
2.4.2 Nighttime Noise Measurements & Activity
Measurements were conducted on 13 April 2010 during the hours of 1:00 am to 2:00 am at
approximately 10' from the south face of the condominium at 200 Paris Lane. Measurements were
conducted at two elevations, the first at 4' above the roadbed, shown in appendix sheet A -19, and
the second at 20' above the road bed as shown on sheet A -20 in the appendix.
During the nighttime measurements of the cogeneration facility, the ambient noise levels
experienced was a combination of traffic noise, a street -side transformer exhaust fan, waves
crashing at the beach, and the cooling towers within the cogeneration facility. Measurements were
conducted in the early morning hours to reduce the effects of offsite noise sources to the extent
possible.
An exhaust fan serving a subterranean transformer located at the curb on Superior Avenue
immediately adjacent to the condominiums was briefly operating intermittently during the entirety

Page 15
of our measurement program. The exhaust fan operated for short durations of 2 to 3 seconds
automatically and was not under our control.
With the microphone located at a 4' elevation above the roadbed, we measured Uq 47.2 dB(A) for a
15 minute duration and the maximum level recorded was L.�. 54.0 dB(A). With the microphone
raised to the higher 20' elevation, we measured I.eq 48.5 dB(A) with a maximum recorded level of
L.a.59.1 dB(A).
Per the City of Newport Beach noise ordinance, noise levels can not exceed Leg 50 dB(A) during the night
due to hospital operations, and maximum levels must not exceed L.. 70 dB(A) at both residential areas
and mixed -use areas.
With one (1) cooling tower operating, the measured noise levels of Leg 47.2 dB(A) at the 4' elevation and
the Leg 48.5 dB(A) at the 20' elevation satisfy the maximum allowable Leq 50 dB(A) noise level criteria. The
worst case L... 59.1 dB(A) also satisfies the L.. 70 dB(A) maximum allowable noise level requirements of
the Zone III and residential use noise criteria.
On 10 July 2008, RS Acoustics Inc. conducted acoustical tests of the cogeneration facility to determine the
noise levels generated by the operation of four (4) cooling towers and other associated equipment of the
cogeneration facility.
During these nighttime tests, we measured the noise levels at the residential condominiums closest to the
i cooling towers to be Leq 49.5 dB(A) at the worst case upper floor level and the noise levels measured at 5'
above grade were found to he Leq 45.3 dB(A).
While the Leq 48.5 dB(A) measured at the 20' elevation on 13 April 2010 satisfy the requirements of the
noise ordinance when one (1) cooling tower is operating, previous tests show that the operation of all
four (4) cooling towers also satisfy the noise ordinance requirements,
2.5 General Ambient Conditions
To illustrate the general noise environment in and around the hospital, daytime and nighttime ambient
noise measurements were conducted on 12 April and 13 April 2010 at the locations shown in the
Appendix. The purpose of these measurements is to document the current conditions and track any
changes over time.
The noise levels measured in these locations are primarily from traffic sources and aircraft operations
only. Specific hospital equipment and on -site operations were of too great a distance and were not
contributory to these measurements.
2.5.1 Catalina Drive & Old Newport Blvd.
The first location for our measurements was the intersection of Catalina Drive and Old Newport
Blvd. This environment consisted of small residences and businesses. The general noise source
was traffic along Newport Blvd., and to a lesser extent Pacific Coast Highway. Traffic on Catalina
drive was not a major contributor to the ambient noise environment. (See sheets A -21 and A -22).

2.5.2 Superior Avenue & Sunset View Park
The second location was at the comer of Superior Avenue and Sunset View Park. Ambient noise
levels were from traffic on Superior Avenue and to a lesser degree from traffic accelerating from
the stop light at Superior Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. Occasional conversations from
persons walking along Sunset View Park were also included in our daytime measurements.
An off -site, underground transformer exhaust fan located on Superior Ave. immediately north of
Sunset View Park operated intermittently during the nighttime test sequence. Although the
transformer is not part of Hoag Hospital, we did measure the levels which were found to be
Leq 59.6 dB(A) and L.. 80.2 dB(A). See appendix sheet A -25 for additional information.
The noise levels measured at nighttime without the transformer operation was found to be LN 55.1
dB(A) and L. 73.6 dB(A). (See sheets A -23 and A -24 for additional information).

The third location was at the corner of Sunset View Park and West Hoag Road. Ambient noise
levels were from traffic on Pacific Coast Highway, minor traffic along West Hoag Road, and
vehicles within the nearby parking garage. (See sheets A -26 for daytime measurement data and A-
25 for nighttime measurement data).

We assume that the intent of Settlement term M3 is the measurement noise generated by the hospital
cogeneration facility at the south side of this building, however we additionally measured the ambient
noise levels at the northeast corner of 200 Paris Lane, within the complex as shown in Appendix sheets A-
28 and A -29.
Noise level measurements within the Villa Balboa complex were conducted on 12 April 2010 starting at
approximately 12:40 pm. Two sets of measurements were conducted. The first included noise levels of
Villa Balboa related rubbish collection service working at Lille Lane and Paris Lane, and multiple
operations of the gates leading to subterranean parking garage with residents arriving and departing.
(See appendix sheet A -28). The second measurement was conducted in the absence of these intrusions
shown in appendix sheet A -29.
The first measurement resulted in Leq 72.6 dB(A) and Lma. 93.2 dB(A). The general ambient noise
consisted of traffic noise from Pacific Coast Highway and to a lesser extent, Superior Avenue.
Mechanical equipment or other noises from Hoag Hospital were not identifiable. The maximum noise
levels measured during the first measurement was from the metal gate operation at the nearby
condominiums.
The second measurement resulted in Uq 48.4 dB(A) and Lma. 54.8 dB(A). The ambient noise levels were
again identifiable as offsite traffic noise from Pacific Coast Highway and Superior Avenue. Acoustical
shielding of the condominium buildings provided sufficient noise reduction to make mechanical
c
equipment noise from the hospital cogeneration facility inaudible.
2.7 Measurements at Unit 304 — 260 CaLyney Lane
Daytime and nighttime noise level measurements at residential Unit 304 on 260 Cagney Lane were
conducted on 13 April 2010 to determine the noise environment existing on the exterior balcony which
faces the hospital, as also within the unit's interior. This unit was fully furnished and has a direct line of
sight to the rooftop mechanical equipment as well as to the louvers located in the west wall of the second
story mechanical equipment room of the West Tower.
2.7.1 Daytime Noise Measurements
Measurements were conducted on 13 April during the day in the unit's exterior balcony, and
within the unit's living room with the windows facing east closed, and again with the windows
open. (See sheets A -30, A -31, and A -32 in the appendix).
The measuring microphone was located at an elevation of 5' above the floor and centrally located
within the balcony, and also centrally located in the interior living room, approximately 5' from the
east exterior wall.
Background noise levels on the balcony were primarily from off -site traffic, general activity at the
hospital including conversations between multiple employees in the outdoor eating area,
construction, and hospital mechanical equipment. Exterior noise sources were difficult to
accurately distinguish within the unit when the windows are closed.

Interior noise level measurements resulted in a 15 minute Leq 35.4 dB(A), and a maximum level of
L.x 54.5 dB(A) with the windows closed. Measured noise levels with the exterior windows open
resulted in a 15 minute Lea, 45.4 dB(A), and a maximum level of Lmax 61.9 dB(A).
On the balcony, we measured a 15 minute Leq 56.5 dB(A) from the multiple sources, with a
maximum recorded level of L.x 72.3 dB(A).
The measured noise levels of Leq 56.5 dB(A) on the exterior balcony satisfy the maximum allowable
Leq 65 dB(A) daytime noise level criteria of the Planned Community Development Criteria.
2.7.2 Nighttime Noise Measurements
Measurements were also conducted in Unit 304's exterior balcony and within the unit's living
room during the nighttime hours. The measuring microphone was located at an elevation of 5'
above the floor and centrally located within the balcony, and also centrally located in the interior
living room, approximately 5' from the east exterior wall. (See A -33 and A -34 in the appendix).
Background noise levels on the balcony were primarily from off -site traffic and hospital
mechanical equipment. Exterior noise sources were difficult to accurately distinguish within the
unit when the windows are closed.
Interior noise level measurements resulted in a 15 minute Ixq 33.9 dB(A), and a maximum level of
Lomax 49.7 dB(A) with the windows closed. On the balcony, we measured a 15 minute Leq 51.1 dB(A)
from the exterior sources, with a maximum level of Lmax 59.1 dB(A).
The noise levels of Leq 51.1 dB(A) measured on the exterior balcony of the residential Unit 304
satisfies the maximum allowable Leq 55 dB(A) nighttime noise level criteria set forth by the Planned
Community Development Criteria.

Main Loading Dock
Daytime operations from the main loading dock activity generated a worst -case Leg -56.8 dB(A) when
measured between the condominiums and new acoustical barrier which satisfies the maximum daytime
allowable Leq -65.0 dB(A). .
Nighttime noise levels from the loading dock area were Leq -45.4 dB(A) when measured near the
residences west of the acoustical barrier which satisfies the Leq -55 maximum allowable noise levels of the
Planned Community Development Criteria.
Dietary Loading Dock
Daytime noise levels measured near the Dietary loading dock were Leq- 62.1 dB(A) and nighttime levels
were found to be L q- 52.0 dB(A) which satisfies the Leq -65 maximum allowable daytime noise levels and
the Leq -55 maximum allowable nighttime levels set forth in the Planned Community Development
Criteria.
Cogeneration Facility
Daytime noise measurements of the cogeneration facility produced results of Leq - 52.7 dB(A) at 4'
elevation and Leq - 56.7 dB(A) at 20' elevation. The ordinance requires that the cogeneration equipment
not exceed Leq - 55.0 dB(A) for Zone I occupancy and Leq - 60.0 dB(A) for Zone III — Mixed Use occupancy.
The daytime ambient noise is generated from offsite traffic levels with the cogeneration facility generally
inaudible.
Nighttime noise levels nearest the residences adjacent to the cogeneration facility were Laq - 47.2 dB(A) at
5' elevation and Leq - 48.5 dB(A) at 20' elevation which satisfies the Leq - 50 dB(A) maximum allowed by
the City of Newport Beach ordinance.
Previous measurements conducted by RSA resulted in cogeneration facility noise levels of Leq - 45.3 dB(A)
at 5' elevation and Leq - 49.5 dB(A) at 20' elevation for all four (4) cooling towers operating. These
measurements show that all four cooling towers operating also satisfy the L q - 50 dB(A) maximum
allowable levels allowed by the City of Newport Beach.
200 Paris Lane
Noise measurements at the north side of 200 Paris Lane within the Villa Balboa complex were generated
by sources within the complex and offsite traffic. Noise from Hoag Hospital equipment or operations
were inaudible

Subject: Hoag Hospital Mitigation Measure 3.4 -6
David,
The pending annual review of the Hoag Hospital Development Agreement requires compliance with
Mitigation Measure 3.4 -6 dealing with the trash compactor and baler at the loading dock. As we discussed
in our meeting last week in your office, Hoag will install the improvements to the trash compactor and
baler as required by this Mitigation Measure except for the relocation of the trash compactor. On behalf
of Hoag Hospital, I am proposing the following language for your consideration as Hoag's good faith
compliance with Mitigation Measure 3.4 -6:
_.Fe is good faith partial and substantial compliance with Mitigation Measure 3.4 -6 for an interim period
until such time when the trash compactor will be relocated and full compliance will be achieved as part of
Hoag Hospital's construction of a new structure or structures on the Upper Campus requiring the transfer
of buildable square footage from the Lower Campus and reconfiguration of the loading dock."
Please let me know if this or any modifications you might have are acceptable.
Thank you,
Denny
