BACKGROUND
On August 14, 2007, the AERIE project was considered by the City Council. The City
Council determined that the project was not consistent with policies of the Coastal Land
Use Plan in that the project was not designed to be within the predominant line of
existing development ( PLOED). The City Council established a predominant line of
existing bluff face development for the site ( PLOED) at elevation 50.7 feet North
American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) and referred a revised project to the
Planning Commission for further review.
The applicant revised the project based upon the City Council's guidance and after
consideration by the Planning Commission in June of 2008.. The City Council
considered 'the revised project on July 22, 2008. The City Council expressed several
concerns including the visual impact of the project, impacts to marine resources, short-
term construction impacts and parking. Because of these concerns, an Environmental
Impact Report was prepared.
The Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), responses to comments (Attachment 2)
and related documents along with the revised project were reviewed by the Planning
Commission at its. May 21, 2009, and June 4, 2009, meetings. The Planning
Commission adopted Resolution No. 1787 recommending certification of the DEIR,
adoption of a statement of overriding circumstances and project approval (Attachment
5).
APPLICATION SUMMARY
The project involves the demolition of an existing 14 -unit apartment building and a
single family dwelling and the construction of a new, 8 -unit residential condominium
building consisting of 6 levels and approximately 61,709 gross square feet of building
area. New development on the bluff face is proposed to be at elevation 52.83 NAVD 88,
which is above the PLOED established by the City Council, except for a
dock/emergency exit at elevation 44.48 NAVD 88 that will be screened from public view.
Additionally, the applicant seeks approval to replace an existing floating dock structure
with a larger dock structure to berth up to 8 boats permanently and including one guest
side tie. The applicant is also proposing to enlarge an existing catch basin and
underground a utility line, both located in Carnation Avenue. A more detailed description
is provided in the DEIR and Planning Commission Staff Report dated May 21, 2009.

July 14, 2009, Page 4
The following discretionary approvals are requested or required in order to implement
the project as designed:
General Plan Amendment (GP2005 -006)
The proposed amendment of the General Plan would change the land use designation
of the 584- square -foot portion of the parcel located at 101 Bayside Place from RT (Two -
Unit Residential) to RM (Multiple -Unit Residential, 20 dwelling units per acre) in the
Land Use Element of the General Plan.
Coastal Land Use Plan Amendment (LC2005 -002)
The proposed amendment of the Coastal Land Use Plan (CLUP) would change the land
use designation of the same 584 - square -foot portion of the parcel at 101 Bayside Place
from RH -D (High Density Residential = 50.1 to 60 dwelling units per acre) to RM -A
(Medium Density Residential — 6.1 to 10 dwelling units per acre).
Code Amendment (CA2005 -009)
The proposed. amendment of the Zoning District Map would change the zoning
classification. of the 584 - square -foot portion of the parcel located at 101 Bayside Place
from R -2: Two =Unit: Residential) to MFR (Multi -unit Residential, 2,178 square feet per
unit):
Tentative Tract'Mao (NT2005- 004/TT16882)
The. proposed: tentative tract map will combine the 584- square -foot portion of the parcel
located at 101: Bayside Place. with parcels identified as 201 — 205 Carnation Avenue
and 207 Carnation Avenue, and to subdivide the air space for eight (8) residential
condominium units in accordance with the final project plans.
Modification Permit (MD2005 -087)
The proposed modification permit would allow: (1) below grade building encroachments
within the 10 -foot front yard setback along Carnation Avenue; (2) 42 -inch high protective
guard rails within the required 10 -foot front setback along Carnation Avenue where they
are restricted to 36 inches; (3) above and below grade building encroachments within
the required 10 -foot, 7 -inch side yard setback abutting 215 Carnation Avenue; and (4)
balcony and guardrail encroachments within the 10 -foot, 7 -inch side yard setback
abutting Bayside Place.
Coastal Residential Development Permit (CR2005 -002)
The proposed coastal residential development permit would allow demolition of the
existing dwelling units within the Coastal Zone pursuant to Chapter 20.86 of the
Newport Beach Municipal Code.
AERIE (PA2005 -196)

Environmental Impact Report (ER2008 -002)
An Environmental Impact Report (SCH #2007021054) has been prepared in accordance
with the California Environmental Quality Act.
DISCUSSION
Based upon the discussion contained within the DEIR and staff reports, the Planning
Commission concluded that the project is consistent with the General Plan and Coastal
Land Use Plan. Additionally, the Planning Commission concluded that the required
findings for approval of the Tentative Tract Map, Modification Permit and Coastal
Residential Development Permit are supported by the administrative record. A more
detailed discussion of these applications is provided in the Planning Commission staff
Report dated May 21, 2009 (Attachment 6).
Harbor Commission
The Harbor Commission reviewed the proposed docks on April 8, 2009. The
Commission was of the opinion that the proposed docks would intrude into the main
channel and that high wave energy experienced in this area presents a safety concern.
The Harbor Commission acts in an advisory role and the Harbor Resources Manager is
the local permitting authority. The safety concern is addressed by sound engineering
AERIE (PA2005 -196)
July 14, 2009, Page 6
and construction while relocating boats to a more secluded area when wave conditions
could damage berthed vessels, which is a common operational solution for this part of
the harbor.
Subsequent to the Harbor Commission meeting on April 8th, the Commission
established a three Commissioner subcommittee to further evaluate the proposed
docks. Chairman Duffield and Commissioners Lawrenz and Corrough visited the site
and dropped 3 buoys representing the boats that would be berthed at the proposed
docks. The Commissioners have reported back to the Harbor Commission their new
opinion that the proposed docks would not present any impediment to safe navigation.
The full Harbor Commission is reconsidering their recommendation on July 8, 2009.
Staff will provide a supplemental report or an oral report to the City Council based upon
the Harbor Commission's action.
Charter Section 423
Charter Section 423 requires that major General Plan Amendments be voted upon by
the electorate. A major General Plan Amendment is one that increases the General
Plan by 40,000 square feet of non- residential floor area or increases traffic by more than
100 peak hour vehicle trips or increases residential dwelling units by 100 units.
Additionally, a General. Plan amendment that is below these Charter Section 423
thresholds would require a require a vote if the increases in floor area, peak hour trips
or residential units of. the project, when added to 80% of the increases of prior
amendments approved within the past 10 years, exceed the Charter Section 423
thresholds cited: above. Pursuant to Council Policy A -18, voter approval is not required
in this case as the proposed General Plan Amendment represents an increase of 1
,dwelling unit and an increase of 1 A.M. and 1 P.M. peak hour trip based upon the
change in land use designation for the 584 square foot portion of the project site.
Additionally, no prior amendments have been approved within Statistical Area F3 and,
therefore, the project and prior amendments do not cumulatively exceed Charter
Section 423 thresholds as to require a vote of the electorate. The increases associated
with this General Plan Amendment will be tracked in accordance with Charter Section
423 and Council Policy A -18 for 10 years if approved by the City Council.
Draft Environmental Impact Report
The DEIR includes analysis of the issues raised at the July 2008 City Council meeting.
Among these issues are impacts to public views and construction - related noise. The
DEIR evaluates a reasonable range of alternatives to the project that are designed to
lessen significant impacts. The DEIR identifies short-term, construction - related noise as
the only significant and unavoidable impact due to the intensity of noise generated by
construction equipment, proximity to residential uses and duration of noise. All other
project impacts are considered less than significant or no impact and in some cases,
mitigation measures are identified. The overall construction phase is anticipated to be
32 months, with the highest noise levels occurring during excavation and construction of
the foundations.
AERIE (PA2005 -196)
July 14, 2009, Page 7
The DEIR includes visual simulations showing the project, including the proposed
docks, from various vantage points (the abutting streets, Begonia Park, harbor beaches
and from boats). The simulations show that public views from Ocean Boulevard and
Carnation Avenue will be improved compared to current conditions due to increased
side yard setbacks. The simulations of the view from Begonia Park show that even
though the proposed residential structure is more visible than existing structures due to
its larger size and its projection farther from Carnation Avenue, the overall quality of.the
public views from Begonia Park will not be significantly impacted. The simulated public
views from the harbor to the site show that the qualities of the view will change. This is
principally due to the elimination of existing structures, considered by some people to be
unattractive. The proposed building will occupy more of the upper portion of the bluff
than existing development but it will "line up" with the homes along Carnation Avenue to
the north. The bluff face below the proposed building will be restored by removing
invasive plants, drainage devices, and concrete. The existing bluff access stair will be
repaired and refurbished and lastly, the bluff face will be re- planted with native plants
appropriate for that environment. The expanded docks with boats create a transitory
impediment to viewing the project bluff and rocks depending upon the viewer's location.
The closer to the site the viewer is, the more prominent the boats in the docks would be.
However, views of the bluff, rocks and cove will remain as one "cruises' in and out of
the harbor given that .these features below the proposed residential building are not
being.: physically., altered or covered. Physical access to the rocks and cove from the
Water will not be impacted with; project implementation.
As noted previously, the DEIR identified a reasonable range of alternatives that would
attain most:of the basic project objectives while avoiding or lessening significant impacts
of,'the .project. The mandatory No Project/No Development and Alternative Site
alternatives. were also included: Given the goal to reduce construction noise and, the
fact that the only variable in the noise impact assessment that can be readily adjusted is
construction duration, staff focused on reducing the extent of excavation to reduce
construction duration while keeping in mind the applicant's basic project objectives. The
following alternatives were considered feasible and were evaluated in the DEIR:
• Reduced Intensity - development of 3 single - family dwellings
• Reduced Intensity - development of 5 -unit, multi- family residential project
• Development of an 8 -unit, multi - family residential project with reduced excavation
The Reduced Intensity (3 single - family) Alternative analysis assumed development of the
site with three custom, residential homes consistent with the General Plan and Zoning
designations. It:assumed that excavation on the bluff face would be no lower than the
PLOED as established by the City Council. The applicant indicated that this alternative
would not include the enlargement of the existing catch basin. or the undergrounding of the
Utility line in Carnation Avenue. Although this alternative might have some environmental
benefits when compared to the project (reduced construction- related impacts), the overall
construction duration would likely be far longer as the three custom homes could take as
long as 24 months each to construct and would not likely be constructed at the same time.
This alternative does not accomplish many of the applicant's basic project objectives.
AERIE (PA2005 -196)
July 14, 2009, Page 8
The Reduced Intensity (5 -unit, multi - family) Alternative analysis assumes development of
the site in the same fashion as the proposed project and it would appear much the same
as the proposed project from outward appearances. This alternative assumed excavation
of the bluff face would be no lower than the PLOED as established by the City Council.
The principal difference is the elimination of both the Sub - basement and Basement levels,
which avoids 25 additional caissons, reducing 12,240 cubic yards of export and
approximately 1,150 heavy truck trips when compared to the proposed project. Like the
previous alternative, the applicant would.not enlarge the catch basin or underground the
utility line in Carnation Avenue. Due to the elimination of these lowest two levels, area
devoted to parking for three units and many of the amenities deemed necessary by the
applicant (a project objective) could not be accommodated. As a result of the loss of
parking, this alternative would reduce the number of units from 8 units to 5 units. Short-
term construction noise and less than significant impacts associated with grading (air
quality and construction traffic) would be reduced when compared to the proposed project.
The overall construction duration for this alternative is estimated to be 23 months, a 9-
month reduction compared to the proposed project. The DEIR incorrectly indicates that the
view corridors would be expanded. Both view corridors would be the same as that
provided by the project.
The 8- unit,. multifamily residential alternative with reduced excavation was evaluated in
two separate configurations identified in the DEIR as Alternatives A and B. Both of these
alternative:configurations eliminate the Sub- basement level (lowest level) and a portion of
the Sub- basement1evel. Alternative A provides a larger Basement level to maintain more
building area for.common amenities, storage and mechanical spaces than Alternative B.
Sufficient area `for .the parking for 8 units could be accommodated in both alternative
configurations: The. applicant would provide the enlarged catch basin and underground the
utility line in Carnation Avenue with Alternative A, but would not provide these benefits with
Alternative B. The overall construction duration for Alternative A is estimated to be 27
months (5 -month reduction from that of the proposed project) and the overall construction
duration for Alternative B is estimated to be 26 months (6 month reduction from that of the
proposed project). Significant short-term construction noise and other less than significant
impacts associated with grading (air quality and construction traffic) would be reduced;
however, the short-term noise impact would remain significant and unavoidable with either
alternative. Alternative B results in a lesser noise impact than Alternative A. Alternative A
and B partially meet all of the applicant's project objectives to differing degrees (Alternative
A more than B).
The Planning Commission focused on Alternative A, but ultimately concluded that
project benefits outweighed short-term impacts. The June 4, 2009, Planning
Commission staff report (Attachment 7) provides a more detailed comparison table
between the proposed project and Alternative A. The upgrade of the catch basin and
the undergrounding of utilities were cited. Greater amenities accommodated through
inclusion of the Sub- basement and Basement levels were determined to be important to
the success of the project and Commissioners agreed that this outweighed the
reductions in impacts that would accompany the alternatives. This is the basis for the
statement of overriding considerations contained in Attachment 3 that must be adopted
to approve the proposed project.

PUBLIC NOTICE
A hearing notice indicating the subject, time, place and location of this hearing was
provided in accordance with the Municipal Code. Notice was published in the Daily Pilot,
mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the property and the site was posted a
minimum of 10 days in advance of this hearing. Notice of the hearing is also provided
with the agenda for the meeting, which was posted in accordance with applicable law
and appears on the City's website.
SUMMARY
The Planning Commission and staff recommend project approval subject to findings and
conditions of approval. The project is consistent with the General Plan, Coastal Land
Use Plan and applicable provisions of the Zoning Code. Public views are being
protected with some being enhanced. Alteration of the bluff face is minimized and
visually, it will be enhanced. As noted previously, the attached draft resolutions and
ordinance contain facts supporting the necessary findings for certifying the Final
Environmental Impact Report and various applications. Should the City Council believe
that any of the findings are not supported, a change to the project may be necessary.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
The City Council can consider several alternative actions:
1. Direct that the project be modified and returned for subsequent City Council
consideration.
2. Approve one of the Alternatives considered in the DEIR.
3. Deny the project based upon its impacts to the environment or finding that it is not
consistent with applicable General Plan or Coastal Land Use Plan policy.
Should the City Council choose one of these alternative actions, staff suggests a
continuance to revise the resolutions to reflect the City Council's direction unless the
change is minor and can be accomplished with a simple change to the conditions of
approval.
