Introduction and Purpose of Development Plan I. Introduction and Purpose of Development Plan The North Newport Center Planned Community district is comprised of seven sub-areas that include Fashion Island, Block 600, and Block 800; and portions of Block 100, Block 400, Block 500, and San Joaquin Plaza. The sub-areas that comprise North Newport Center shall be governed by the North Newport Center Planned Community ("PC") Development Plan set forth herein, which includes land uses, development standards, and administration. The City of Newport Beach Municipal Code allows a Planned Community Development Plan to address land use designations and regulations in Planned Communities. The North Newport Center PC Development Plan serves as the controlling zoning ordinance for the sub-areas identified in the Planned Community Development Plan and is authorized and intended to implement the provisions of the Newport Beach General Plan. A. Sub-Area Purpose Newport Center is a regional center comprised of major retail, professional office, entertainment, recreation, and residential development within the City of Newport Beach. The North Newport Center site comprises approximately 4- . 171.6 acres along San Joaquin Hills Road and Newport Center Dr. The seven sub-areas that make up the site including Fashion Island (75 acres), Block 100 (4- 11.3 acres), Block 400 (4 acres), Block 500 (16.3 acres and a 0.4-acre open space area at the corner of MacArthur Boulevard and San Joaquin Hills Road), Block 600 (25 acres), Block 800 (17 acres), and San Joaquin Plaza (23 acres) are shown on Figure 1 and are described below. The General Plan identifies the goal of creating a successful Mixed-Use district that integrates economic and commercial centers serving the needs of Newport Beach residents and the sub-region, with expanded opportunities for residential development. Fashion Island is the primary retail hub within Newport Center and is developed with retail, dining, and commercial entertainment uses. Permitted uses for Fashion Island include uses in support of the existing retail, dining, and commercial entertainment uses. Fashion Island is intended to be a vibrant regional retail and entertainment center and a day/evening destination with a wide variety of uses that will serve visitors,residents, and employees of the area. Figure 2, Fashion Island Sub-Area, shows the boundary of Fashion Island. The Commercial Office blocks include a large portion of Block 100 (Figure 3), Block 400 (Figure 4), and a portion of Block 800 also referred to as Pacific Financial Plaza. Block 100 generally-primarily comprises administrative and professional offices that serve local and regional markets. Other uses permitted in the block include limited accessory retail, financial, service and entertainment uses. Block 400 generally comprises commercial office, with medical related offices and retail use. The Pacific Financial Plaza portion of Block 800 is generally comprised of commercial office and restaurant uses. The Mixed-Use blocks include Block 500 (Figure 5), Block 600 (Figure 6), and San Joaquin Plaza (Figure 7). The Mixed-Use blocks are generally composed of administrative, professional, and financial office uses. Block 600 contains hotel and related ancillary uses. This Development Plan allows for the diversification of land uses in order to encourage new and original uses consistent with the Mixed-Use concept as established in the General Plan. Permitted uses for the Mixed-Use blocks include offices, light general commercial, hotel, residential and other mixed uses in accordance with the General Plan MU-113 land use designation. The residential portion of Block 100 (Figure 3) at 150 Newport Cente r Drive allows for multi-family residential housing uses. The residential portion of Block 800 (Figure 8) allows for multi-family residential or senior citizen housing uses. While not categorized as a mixed-use area, Block 100 and Block 800 contains two distinct uses which are not interchangeable. The northern portion of Block 800 is designated for residential use and the southern portion is commercial office. The boundaries of the Mixed-Use blocks included in this Development Plan are shown in Figure 5, Block 500 Sub-Area,Figure 6,Block 600 Sub-Area, and Figure 7, San Joaquin Plaza Sub-Area,respectively.

Planned Community Development Plan Administration 3. Review and Action Submittals shall be reviewed by the Community Development Director, and the Community Development Director shall approve the project if he/she makes the following findings: a. The proposed use and/or development is consistent with the General Plan. b. The proposed use and/or development is consistent with the North Newport Center PC Development Plan and Design Regulations. The Community Development Director shall notify the Planning Commission and City Council if deviations from the height limit are approved. The Community Development Director action is the final action unless appealed in accordance with the Municipal Code. B. Process for New Signs Applications for new signs shall follow the process identified in the Municipal Code. Submittal shall be reviewed for consistency with the Development Plan and Design Regulations. C. Transfer of Development Rights The following procedure shall be used for the transfer of development rights. 1. The project applicant shall submit an application to the Community Development Director, which identifies the quantity of entitlement (floor area, hotel rooms, theater seats) to be relocated, and the sending and receiving sites. If the requested transfer includes the conversion of non-residential uses, the application shall also identify the quantity of entitlement, by use category, before and after the transfer. 2. The City Traffic Engineer shall perform a traffic analysis to determine the total number of PM peak hour trips that would be generated by development allowed with and without the transfer. Trip generation rates shall be based on standard trip generation values in the current version of ITE's "Trip Generation," unless the Traffic Engineer determines that other rates are more valid for the uses involved in the transfer. 3. Depending on the location of the sending and receiving sites, the Traffic Engineer may determine that a more detailed traffic analysis is required to determine whether adverse traffic impacts will result from the transfer. This analysis shall demonstrate whether allowed development, with and without the transfer, would either cause or make worse an unsatisfactory level of service at any primary intersections for which there is no feasible mitigation. This analysis shall be consistent with the definitions and procedures contained in the Traffic Phasing Ordinance of the Municipal Code, except that "unsatisfactory level of service" shall be as specified in the General Plan. 4. If the transfer request involves the conversion of uses, the Community Development Director shall perform a land use intensity analysis to determine the floor area that could be developed with and without the transfer. For purposes of this analysis, theater use shall be allocated 16.1765 square feet per seat. Hotel use shall be allocated the number of square feet per room at which it is included in the General Plan. When the General Plan does not specify intensity for hotel rooms, it shall be as determined by the Community Development Director. 5. Applications for transfer of development rights shall be considered by the City Council as a ministerial action. The City Council shall approve a transfer of development rights if it North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan 32 November 10,2015 202 Land Uses, Development Standards& Procedures Section IV. Planned Community Development Plan Administration finds that the transfer will result in no more trips and no greater intensity of land use than the development allowed without the transfer. In addition, if the traffic study in Subsection c. is required, the City Council shall approve the transfer if it results in no greater traffic impact than the development allowed without the transfer.

Unifying architectural and landscape character JY r Aerial view of bluff(circa 1960) North Newport Center Design Regulations 1 November 10,2015 Early Newport Center Planning Diagrams and Sketches (circa 1960) 7*74 I The design regulations provide standards that govern future development so that, to the extent feasible, the initial design framework is carried forward and the design and development policies from the Land Use Element of the General Plan are implemented. North Newport Center Design Regulations 2 November 10,2015 270 General Plan Policies Newport Center The following policies from the Land Use Element are for Newport Center as a whole. Development within North Newport Center should contribute toward the policies whenever possible. • Development Scale: Reinforce the original design concept for Newport Center by concentrating the greatest building mass and height in the northeasterly section along San Joaquin Hills Road, where the natural topography is highest and progressively scaling down building mass and height to follow the lower elevations toward the southwesterly edge along East Coast Highway. • Urban Form: Encourage that some new development be located and designed to orient to the inner side of Newport Center Dr., establishing physical and visual continuity that diminishes the dominance of surface parking lots and encourages pedestrian activity. • Pedestrian Connectivity and Amenity: Encourage that pedestrian access and uses within the district be improved with additional walkways and streetscape amenities concurrent with the development of expanded and new uses. • Fashion Island Architecture and Streetseape: Encourage that new development in Fashion Island complement and be of equivalent or higher design quality than existing buildings. Reinforce the existing promenades by encouraging retail expansion that enhances the storefront visibility to the promenades and provides an enjoyable retail and pedestrian experience. Additionally, new buildings shall be located on axes connecting Newport Center Dr. with existing building to provide visual and physical connectivity with adjoining uses,where practical. Mixed-Use District and Neighborhood The following policies from the Land Use Element are City-wide in orientation. Development within North Newport Center should contribute toward the policies whenever possible. • Mixed-Use Buildings: Require that Mixed-Use buildings be designed to convey a high level of architectural and landscape quality and ensure compatibility among their uses in consideration of the following principles: - Design and incorporation of building materials and features to avoid conflicts among uses, such as noise, vibration, lighting, odors, and similar impacts - Visual and physical integration of residential and non-residential uses - Architectural treatment of building elevation and modulation of their massing - Separate and well-defined entries for residential units and non-residential businesses - Design of parking areas and facilities for architectural consistency and integration among uses - Incorporation of extensive landscape appropriate to its location; urbanized streetscapes, for example, would require less landscape along the street frontages but integrate landscape into interior courtyards and common open spaces North Newport Center Design Regulations 3 November 10,2015 277 • Mixed-Use Building Location and Size of Non-Residential Uses: Require that 100 percent of the ground floor street frontage of Mixed-Use buildings be occupied by retail and other compatible non-residential uses, unless specified otherwise by policies for a district or corridor. • Parcels Integrating Residential and Non-Residential Uses: Require that properties developed with a mix of residential and non-residential uses be designed to achieve high levels of architectural quality in accordance with policies related to the character and quality of multi-family residential and the architecture and site design of commercial districts, be planned to assure compatibility among the uses, and provide adequate circulation and parking. Residential uses should be seamlessly integrated with non-residential uses through architecture, pedestrian walkways, and landscape. They should not be completely isolated by walls or other design elements. • Districts Integrating Residential and Non-Residential Uses: Require that sufficient acreage be developed for an individual use located in a district containing a mix of residential and non-residential uses to prevent fragmentation and assure each use's viability, quality, and compatibility with adjoining uses. Aerial of Newport Center—2007 C. North Newport Center North Newport Center consists of properties on the higher elevations of Newport Center between San Joaquin Hills Road and the Newport Center ring road (Blocks 400, 500, 600 and 800 and San Joaquin Plaza), as well as the core of Newport Center,Fashion lsland, and Block 100. To the northeast is San Joaquin Hills Road, a wide boulevard on the ridge that forms the upper edge of Newport Center. To the south and southeast are office buildings, movie theaters, restaurants, service retail, the Newport Transportation Center, the Newport Beach Central Library, and Corona del Mar Plaza, a community retail center. Adjacent uses within Newport Center are office buildings, an North Newport Center Design Regulations 4 November 10,2015 272 apartment community, a resort hotel, art museum, police station, fire station, auto dealership, service station, and the Newport Beach County Club. North Newport Center is a mixed-use district that features an open-air regional shopping center, Fashion Island; a resort hotel; and a variety of office buildings that help form the skyline of Newport Beach; connected by a network of tree-lined streets and sidewalks, within a master planned environment featuring a consistent landscape.

Design Regulations Using these Regulations These regulations are intended to be used in conjunction with other applicable codes, documents, and ordinances to assess compliance of proposed projects. Each category of regulations begins with the intent, which describes the overall character that is envisioned and what objectives are necessary to attain the desired effect. A. Building Location and Massing Intent The intent of the building massing and location standards is to ensure that new development has an appropriate scale, is related to its use and location, and is properly integrated with adjoining land uses and features. 1. Site Planning Elements a. New commercial and residential buildings should respect the existing urban form, which generally consists of buildings that are organized orthogonally to create pedestrian-friendly courtyards and promenades that visually link the buildings into clusters, as seen in the diagrams below. N O io F J ytin 'ag � h P CY. y.r t 4.m Pedestrian promenade at Pedestrian courtyard at Building interface at Fashion Island 550 Newport Center Dr. San Joaquin Plaza North Newport Center Design Regulations 7 November 10,2015 �g2 b. In Mixed-Use sub-areas, the development of a complex of buildings is preferable to a single large structure because the varied massing provides visual interest and a human scale. Additionally, the spaces created between the various buildings provide opportunities for pedestrian plazas, courtyards and other outdoor gathering areas. C. New buildings should be oriented to and have features which reinforce and enhance the existing pedestrian experience. Mixed-Use sub-areas should emphasize pedestrian orientation by utilizing features such as plazas, courtyards, interior walkways, trellises, seating, fountains, and other similar elements. d. New retail buildings should be located to enhance tenant visibility and identity, while maintaining compatible relationships with adjacent structures and street frontages. e. New buildings should be arranged to provide convenient access to entrances and efficient on-site circulation for vehicles and pedestrians. Projects should develop a comprehensive open space network that uses plazas and other open space elements to connect uses. Open space areas and the paths that link them should facilitate the integration of adjacent land uses on the site. f. New buildings with a strong street presence are encouraged in Fashion Island. g. Residential development shall provide common outdoor open space areas for residents. These areas should be configured and designed so as to address privacy for residential uses while also providing linkages to the public open space components of the project. h. Planning and developing shared facilities such as driveways, parking areas, pedestrian plazas and walkways, with adjoining properties, including those outside of the North Newport Center Development Plan, is strongly encouraged. Example of resident open space Example of office courtyard 2. Building Envelope a. New buildings should respect the existing development scale, which generally consists of high-rise buildings (10+ stories) clustered along the northerly section at the highest point in Newport Center. Mid-rise office buildings (5-10 stories), low- rise office buildings, and retail development are generally located at lower elevations towards Pacific Coast Highway. North Newport Center Design Regulations 8 November 10,2015 222 3. Building Character and Style a. The character and style of new buildings located in Fashion Island should be compatible with the classically inspired architecture of the existing buildings in Fashion Island. The character and style of new commercial and residential buildings located in the mixed-use sub-areas should be compatible with the existing contemporary architecture or the classically inspired architecture of the existing buildings. b. New buildings within Fashion Island should continue and enhance the existing pedestrian experience by promoting storefront visibility. C. New buildings should reflect a timeless architecture with straightforward geometry, a unified composition, the expression of floor levels and structure, and solid parapets. Trendy, short-lived, idiosyncratic architectural styles are not appropriate; although retail storefronts may reflect the design theme of the merchant. d. The top of all roof-mounted equipment and communications devices should be below the building parapet or equipment screens in a manner that hides them from the street. The height of rooftop appurtenances shall not exceed the height of the screening. e. Ground level equipment, refuse collection areas, storage tanks and infrastructure equipment should be screened from public right-of-ways views with dense landscaping and/or walls of materials and finishes compatible with adjacent buildings. £ Above grade equipment, including backflow preventers at domestic water meters, irrigation controllers, and cable television pedestals should not be visible from public right-of-ways, when feasible. g. Chain link fencing is not allowed, except to screen construction areas. h. Avoid long, continuous blank walls, by incorporating a variety of materials and design treatments and/or modulating and articulating elevations to promote visual interest. i. Architectural features should accomplish the architectural goal of extending the design elements of the building. j. New buildings on sites with sloping surfaces should be encouraged to utilize the existing terrain. Entrances to motor courts and parking structures are not included in the measurement of building height.
