a. Adopted Resolution No. 2012 -9 approving Mitigated Negative Declaration
No. ND2010 -008;
b. Introduced Ordinance No. 2012 -2 approving Planned Community
Development Plan No. PC2005 -002 for the entire project site which includes
the Golf Club and Tennis Club sites;
C. Adopted Resolution 2012 -10 approving a conversion of 17 tennis courts to

003 for the improvements to the Tennis Club portion of the project site;
and reserving the Golf Club site for future consideration; and
d. Introduced Ordinance No. 2012 -3 approving Development Agreement No.
DA2008 -001.
An excerpt of the January 24, 2012, City Council meeting minutes reflecting these
actions is provided in Attachment CC4. At the same meeting, the City Council
introduced Ordinance No. 2012 -04 approving Planned Community Development Plan
No. PC2008 -001 and approved Site Development Review No. SD2011 -003, submitted
by the Newport Beach Country Club Inc. (NBCC), to allow the construction of a golf
clubhouse, associated parking lot, and maintenance facility on the Golf Club site (1600
East Coast Highway).
On February 14, 2012, the City Council granted the applicant's request for a
continuance of the second reading of the ordinances approving their Planned
Community Development Plan and Development Agreement to February 28, 2012. At
the same meeting, the City Council re- introduced Ordinance No. 2012 -4 approving
Planned Community Development Plan No. PC2008 -001 proposed by NBCC, Inc. at
1600 East Coast Highway.
Subsequent to the City Council's action on February 14, 2012, the applicant presented
the following requests:
a. Modify the Development Agreement to apply to the development of the
Tennis Club site only located at 1602 East Coast Highway;
b. Accept the applicant's proposed "Alternative Site Plan" for the Golf Club
site, located at 1600 East Coast Highway, as an alternative to the NBCC,
Inc. plan without the Alternative Site Plan being "vested" by the applicant's
Development Agreement.

On February 28, 2012, the City Council took the following actions:
a. Continued the consideration of applicant's Planned Community
Development Plan to March 13, 2012.
b. Waived City Council Policy A10 regarding "Voting Procedures -
Reconsideration" in order to reconsider the applicant's Site Development
Review No. SD2011 -002 on March 13, 2012.
C. Continued the consideration of applicant's Development Agreement to
March 13, 2012.
The City Council also adopted Planned Community Development Plan No. PC2008 -001
as proposed by NBCC, Inc. for the Golf Club site located at 1600 East Coast Highway.
DISCUSSION:
Planned Community Development Plan (PCDP)
The adopted PCDP does not include the Tennis Club site located at 1602 E. Coast
Highway. In order for the applicant to implement the proposed improvements at the
Tennis Club site, an amendment to the adopted PCDP is required. The amendment
would add the zoning and design standards for the Tennis Club site to allow the
development of twenty -seven (27) hotel units with a 2,170 square -foot concierge and
guest meeting facility and a 7,490 square -foot spa /fitness center; five (5) single -unit
residential dwellings; a 3,725 square -foot tennis clubhouse; and seven (7) tennis courts
including one lighted stadium - center tennis court. The amendment and is provided in
Attachment CC5 and is substantially different from what the City Council considered on
January 24, 2012; therefore, a new first reading of the ordinance is required.
Proposed Alternative Site Plan
The applicant's Site Development Review application was initially submitted for the Golf
Club and Tennis Club sites and as indicated, on January 24, 2012, the City Council
approved the Site Development Review application for the improvements to the Tennis
Club site only and reserved the improvements to the Golf Club site for future
consideration by Resolution No. 2010 -10. Since the applicant has not proposed any
changes to the Tennis Club site, staff is requesting that City Council reconfirm its
approval of Site Development Review No. SD2011 -002 for the Tennis Club site (1602
East Coast Highway).
The applicant's proposed Alternative Site Plan is limited to the Golf Club site, and it
would allow the construction of a 35,000 square -foot golf clubhouse and associated
parking lot (Attachment CC6). The key differences between the "Alternative Site Plan"
and the approved site plan are as follows:
3
Newport Beach Country Club -Golf Realty Fund
March 13, 2012
Page 4
1. Reduction in the golf clubhouse size from 54,819 sq. ft. to 35,000 sq. ft.;
2. Reorientation of the parking aisles and parking spaces; and
3. Elimination of the frontage driveway access and connection to Armstrong Garden
Center. Additionally the proposed deceleration lane on East Coast Highway is
eliminated, as well as the relocation of the easterly driveway on the Armstrong
Garden Center site to the project site.
Staff has expressed significant concerns with the concept of having two approved site
development plans for one property, particularly if both are individually vested through
separate development agreements. To address this concern, the applicant has
proposed that the Alternative Site Plan not be included in their development agreement,
and therefore not become a vested right. The applicant has proposed a revised
Development Agreement (see following section). Furthermore, to clarify the
precedence of Site Development Review No. SD2011 -003 (Newport Beach Country
Club, Inc.) over Site Development Review No. 2011 -002 (Golf Realty Fund alternative),
staff is recommending the following Condition of Approval ( #3):
"3. The Alternative Site Plan for the Golf Club site of Site Development Review No.
SD2011 -002 shall not be effective until such time the Newport Beach Country
Club, Inc. or its successor in interest in Development Agreement No. 2010 -005
elects to waive its right to construct Site Development Review No. SD2011 -003
in favor of constructing the Alternative Site Plan. This waiver shall be made in
writing to the City Manager for review and approval. "
Should the City Council chose to approve the applicant's Alternative Site Plan for the
Golf Club site, staff has prepared a draft resolution and attached as CC2.
Modify the Development Agreement to apply to only the new development on the
Tennis Club site located at 1602 East Coast Highway
The Development Agreement that covered both the Golf Club and Tennis Club sites has
been modified to be applicable only to the Tennis Club site (Attachment CC7). The
duration of the revised Development Agreement remains the same (10 years) with no
changes to the negotiated terms. The revised Development Agreement would provide
the vested right to proceed with the development on the Tennis Club site only as
ultimately approved by the City and the Coastal Commission since the property is within
the Coastal Zone.

and City Council Policy K -3.
Tmpit: 11/23/09

Paqe 4 of 7
2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration, an Errata to the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program were adopted by City Council on
January 24, 2012, by adopting certain CEQA determinations containing within
Resolution No. 2012 -9, which are hereby incorporated by reference.
3. The City Council finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA determinations and
approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming.. In addition, project
opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As project
applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that such
applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial challenge,
and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which may be
awarded to a successful challenger.
SECTION 3. FINDINGS
1. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan
as follows:
a. The project site is located within Newport Center /Fashion Island. The Land Use
Element of the General Plan designates the Tennis Club site Mixed Use
Horizontal 3 /Park and Recreation (MU- H3 /PR).
The MU -H3 /PR designation on the Tennis Club site provides for the horizontal
intermixing of regional commercial office, hotel, single - family and multi - family
residential and ancillary commercial uses. The PR designation allows active
public or private recreational uses including parks (both active and passive),
golf courses, marina support facilities, aquatic facilities, tennis clubs and courts,
private recreation, and similar facilities.
b. The General Plan limits total development at the Tennis Club site to 3,725
square feet and 24 tennis courts (Anomaly No. 46). Residential is also
permitted in Anomaly No. 46, in accordance with MU -H3 /PR designation. The
existing 3,725 square -foot tennis clubhouse will be replaced with a new tennis
clubhouse of same the square footage established for Anomaly No. 46. The five
(5) single -unit dwellings will be drawn from the maximum 450 dwelling units that
are allowed in the Newport Center /Fashion Island Statistical Area (there are
unallocated 20 units remaining at this time).
C. In order to accommodate the development of the proposed 27 hotel -unit
development (bungalows), the 17 tennis courts shall be converted to 27 hotel
units. The conversion of eliminated 17 tennis courts to 27 hotel units is
consistent with the General Plan based upon the recognition that the General
Plan provides for additional retail opportunities at Fashion Island, hotel rooms,
and housing units within Newport Center. Additionally, the proposed conversion
revitalizes an area wherein the General Plan encourages hotel development
and the conversion does not create traffic impacts.

City Council Ordinance No. 2012 -2
Paae 5 of 7
2. The Coastal Land Use Plan designates the Tennis Club portion of the project site as
Mixed Use Horizontal /Park and Recreation (MU- H /PR). The MU -H /PR designation
recognizes the private recreational tennis courts and the potential development of
short-term rental visitor accommodations and single- family residential units. Policy
2.1.8 -1 allows the horizontal intermixing of short-term rental units and single- family
homes with the expanded tennis club facilities, Permitted uses include those permitted
by the MU -H and PR categories. MU -H allows horizontally distributed mix of uses,
which may include general or neighborhood commercial, commercial offices, multi-
family residential, visitor- serving and marine - related uses, and /or buildings that
vertically integrate residential with commercial uses. PR category allows active public
or private recreational use including parks (both active and passive), golf courses,
marina support facilities, aquatic facilities, tennis clubs and courts, private recreation,
and similar facilities. The amendment of planned community district development plan
(PCDP) to include the Tennis Club site will ensure building design and siting
regulations will protect coastal resources, including protection of views, and public
access through height, setback, floor area, lot coverage, building bulk, and improved
pedestrian access in accordance with Policy 2.2.2 -4. The proposed project will provide
visitor - serving and recreational facilities as required in Policy 2.3.2 -2. The proposed
redevelopment of the project site is therefore consistent with the Coastal Land Use
designations.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
1. Planned Community Development Plan No. PC2005 -002 shall be approved as an
amendment to Planned Community Development Plan No. PC2008 -001 to expand the
Newport Beach Country Club Planned Community Plan to include the Tennis Club site
and to provide use and zoning development standards for twenty -seven (27) hotel units
with a 2,170 square -foot concierge and guest meeting facility and a 7,490 square -foot
spa /fitness center, five (5) single -unit residential dwellings, a 3,725 square -foot tennis
clubhouse, and one lighted stadium - center tennis court as depicted in Exhibit "A"
attached hereto and incorporated by reference.
2. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is, for any
reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity
or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby
declares that it would have passed this ordinance, and each section, subsection,
clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that anyone or more sections,
subsections, sentences, clauses and phrases be declared unconstitutional.

3. The City Council finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA determinations and
approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In addition, project
opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As project
applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that such
applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial challenge,
and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which may be
awarded to a successful challenger.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
Pursuant to Section 4.3 of the PCDP, the following findings and facts in support of such
findings are set forth:
Finding:
A. The Alternative Site Development Plan shall be in compliance with all other provisions
of the PCDP (Newport Beach Country Club Planned Community Development Plan).
Facts in Support of Finding:
A -1. The PCDP provides a requirement that a site development review process be
completed for construction of any new major building structure located on the subject
site and would require consideration and approval by the Planning Commission prior
to the issuance of grading or building permits. A site development review application
has been submitted for the construction of the golf clubhouse and meets provisions
stated in the PCDP in that and thereby meets the intent specified in Section 20.52.080
(Site Development Reviews) of the Municipal Code.
Finding:
B. The Alternative Site Development Plan shall be compatible with the character of the
neighboring uses and surrounding sites and shall not be detrimental to the orderly and
harmonious development of the surroundings and of the City.
Facts in Support of Finding:
B -1. The golf course is an existing use that has been in place since the 1950's. The
reconstruction and modernization of the golf clubhouse will enable the golf course to
retain its reputation as a world class sporting venue. The reconstruction represents a
significant upgrade to an aging facility with modern amenities for its members and also
to the greater Newport Beach community during special events, while retaining both
active and passive open space in an urban environment.
B -2. The proposed golf clubhouse is designed to be compatible with the new development
on the Tennis Club site and the character of the neighboring uses and surrounding
sites The California Coastal architecture, landscaping components, circulation design,
all other project components reflected in the site development review application will
TmpIC 03/08/11

not detrimental to the orderly and harmonious development of the surroundings and
the City.
Finding:
C. The Alternative Site Development Plan shall be sited and designed to maximize of
aesthetic quality of the Newport Beach Country Club Planned Community
Development Plan as viewed from surrounding roadways and properties, with special
consideration given to the mass and bull( of buildings and the streetscape on East
Coast Highway.
Facts in Support of Finding:
C -1. The proposed clubhouse will be 49 feet in height, within the maximum permitted
building height of 50 feet. The proposed detailed architectural plans illustrate the
clubhouse's building height, mass and design and demonstrate the project's
compatibility with existing development and the City's adopted policies and standards.
The size, mass and location of golf clubhouse, the architectural detailing, landscaping,
circulation, and signage maximize the aesthetic quality of the project. The proposed
golf clubhouse is located over 400 feet from East Coast Highway and adequate
landscaping and open space separate the proposed development from East Coast
Highway.
Finding:
D. Site plan and layout of buildings, parking areas, pedestrian and vehicular access
ways, landscaping and other site features shall give proper consideration to functional
aspects of site development.
Facts in Support of Finding:
D -1. The alternative site plan proposed for the golf clubhouse and its parking areas,
pedestrian and vehicular access ways, and landscaping, maximize the functionality of
the golf course and its ancillary uses. The applicant's parking lot design meets City
standards and will adequately serve the golf clubhouse.

and City Council Policy K -3.
Tmplt: 11/23/09
City Council Ordinance No. 2012 -3
Paqe 4 of 7
2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration, an Errata to the Mitigated Negative Declaration,
and. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program were adopted by City Council on
January 24, 2012, by adopting certain CEQA determinations containing within
Resolution No,2012 -9, which are hereby incorporated by reference.
3. The City Council finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA determinations and
approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In addition, project
opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As project
applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that such
applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial challenge,
and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which may be
awarded to a successful challenger.
SECTION 3. FINDINGS
1. According to General Plan Land Use Element Policy LU6.14.8, a development
agreement is required since the proposed project is a mixed -use development project
and the proposed five (5) single - family units will be drawn from the 450 residential
units allocated for the Newport Center /Fashion Island. Furthermore, Municipal Code
Section 15.45.020.A.2.c (Development Agreement Required) requires a development
agreement as the project includes a zoning code amendment and new non - residential
development in Statistical Area L1 (Newport Center /Fashion Island). The development
agreement includes all the mandatory elements for consideration and includes public
benefits that are appropriate to support conveying the vested development rights.
2,. Consistent with Government Code Section 65867.5, the Development Agreement
provides vested rights and public benefits for the proposed development which is
consistent with the General Plan based on the following findings:
a. The project site is located within Newport Center /Fashion Island. The Land Use
Element of the General Plan designates Tennis Club site as Mixed Use
Horizontal 3 /Park and Recreation (MU- H3 /PR).
The MU -H3 /PR designation on the Tennis Club site provides for the horizontal
intermixing of regional commercial office, hotel, single - family and multi - family
residential and ancillary commercial uses. The PR designation allows active
public or private recreational uses including parks (both active and passive),
golf courses, marina support facilities, aquatic facilities, tennis clubs and courts,
private recreation, and similar facilities.
b. The General Plan limits total development at the Tennis Club site to 3,725
square feet and 24 tennis courts for Anomaly No. 46. Residential is also
permitted, in accordance with MU -H3 /PR designation. The existing 3,725
square -foot tennis clubhouse will be replaced with a new tennis clubhouse of
same the square footage. The five (5) single -unit dwellings will be drawn from
the maximum 450 dwelling units that are allowed in the Newport
Tmplt: 11/23109
�
City Council Ordinance No. 2012 -3
Page 5 of 7
Center /Fashion Island Statistical Area (there are unallocated 20 units remaining
at this time).
d. In order to accommodate the development of the proposed 27 hotel -unit
development (bungalows), the 17 tennis courts shall be converted to 27 hotel
units. The General Plan provides for additional retail opportunities at Fashion
Island and hotel rooms and housing units in Newport Center and the proposed
conversion does not require a general plan amendment. The proposed
conversion revitalizes an area wherein the General Plan encourages hotel
development.
3. As Planned Community Development Plan No. PC2005 -002 has been modified to
provide use and zoning development standards for the Tennis Club site only, the
Development Agreement is thereby adjusted to provide vested rights and public
benefits for the Tennis Club site only.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
1. The Development Agreement shall be adopted as depicted in Exhibit "A" attached
hereto and incorporated by reference, for the development on the Tennis Club site.
2. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is, for any
reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity
or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby
declares that it would have passed this ordinance, and each section, subsection,
clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that anyone or more sections,
subsections, sentences, clauses and phrases be declared unconstitutional.
3. This action shall become final and effective thirty days after the adoption of this
Ordinance.
4. The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall attest to the passage of this Ordinance.
This Ordinance shall be published once in the official newspaper of the City, and the
same shall become effective thirty (30) days after the date of its adoption.

(each, an "Adjustment Date ") by the percentage increase in the CPI Index in the year prior to the
applicable Adjustment Date. The amount of the percentage increase in the CPI Index on the
applicable Adjustment Dates shall in each instance be calculated based on the then most recently
available CPI Index figures such that, for example, if the Effective Date of this Agreement falls
on July I and the most recently available CPI Index figure on the first Adjustment Date (January

credit or offset to the Public Benefit Fee for any existing buildings or structures. OwnefPropertv
Owner acknowledges by its approval and execution of this Agreement that it is voluntarily
agreeing to pay the Public Benefit Fee, that its obligation to pay the Public Benefit Fee is an
essential term of this Agreement and is not severable from City's obligations and OwnefProcerty
Owner's vesting rights to be acquired hereunder, and that GwNefPrg2erty Owner expressly
waives any constitutional, statutory, or common law right it might have in the absence of this
Agreement to protest or challenge the payment of such fee on any ground whatsoever, including
without limitation pursuant to the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States
Constitution, California Constitution Article I Section 19, the Mitigation Fee Act (California

4. Development of Project.
4.1 Applicable Regulations: AwneWropertv Owner's Vested Rights and City's
Reservation of Discretion With Respect to Subsequent Development Approvals
Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, during the Term of this Agreement,
(i) 9wn Property Owner shall have the vested right to Develop the Project on and with respect
to the Property in accordance with the terms of the Development Regulations and this Agreement
and (ii) City shall not prohibit or prevent development of the Property on grounds inconsistent
with the Development Regulations or this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
herein is intended to limit or restrict City's discretion with respect to (i) review and approval
requirements contained in the Development Regulations, (ii) exercise of any discretionary
authority City retains under the Development Regulations, (iii) the approval, conditional
approval, or denial of any Subsequent Development Approvals applied for by GwaefPro ert
Owner, or that are required, for Development of the Project as of the Agreement Date provided
that all such actions are consistent with the Development Regulations, or (iv) any environmental
approvals that may be required under CFQA or any other federal or state law or regulation in
conjunction with any Subsequent Development Approvals that may be required for the Project,
and in this regard, as to future actions referred to in clauses (i) -(iv) of this sentence, City reserves
its full discretion to the same extent City would have such discretion in the absence of this

Agreement. In addition, it is understood and agreed that nothing in this Agreement is intended to
vest GwfwProcertv Owner's rights with respect to any laws, regulations, rules, or official
policies of any other governmental agency or public utility company with jurisdiction over the
Property or the Project; or any applicable federal or state laws, regulations, rules, or official
policies that may be inconsistent with this Agreement and that override or supersede the
provisions set forth in this Agreement, and regardless of whether such overriding or superseding
laws, regulations, rules, or official policies are adopted or applied to the Property or the Project
prior or subsequent to the Agreement Date.
AwnerProperty Owner has expended and will continue to expend substantial amounts of
time and money in the planning and entitlement process end preryer+ng-14)r —to permit
Development of the Project in the future. AwnerProperty Owner represents and City
acknowledges that HwwProce t Owner would not make these expenditures without this
Agreement, and that QwneFProperty Owner is and will be making these expenditures in
reasonable reliance upon obtaining its vested rights to Develop the Project as set forth in this
Agreement.
AwweFProperty Owner may apply to City for permits or approvals necessary to modify or
amend the Development specified in the Development Regulations, provided that unless this
Agreement also is amended, the request does not propose an increase in the maximum density,
intensity, height, or size of proposed structures, or a change in use that generates more peak hour
traffic or more daily traffic. In addition, OwnerProperty Owner may apply to City for approval
of minor amendments to existing tentative tract maps, tentative parcel maps, or associated
conditions of approval, consistent with City of Newport Beach Municipal Code section
19.12.090. This Agreement does not constitute a promise or commitment by City to approve any
such permit or approval, or to approve the same with or without any particular requirements or
conditions, and City's discretion with respect to such matters shall be the same as it would be in
the absence of this Agreement.
4.2 No Conflicting Enactments.
Except to the extent City reserves its discretion as expressly set forth in this Agreement,
during the Term of this Agreement City shall not apply to the Project or the Property any
ordinance, policy, rule, regulation, or other measure relating to Development of the Project that
is enacted or becomes effective after the Agreement Date to the extent it conflicts with this
Agreement. This Section 4.2 shall not restrict City's ability to enact an ordinance, policy, rule,
regulation, or other measure applicable to the Project pursuant to California Government Code
Section 65866 consistent with the procedures specified in Section 4.3 of this Agreement. In
Pardee Construction Co. v. Ciy of Camarillo (1984) 37 Cal.3d 465, the California Supreme
Court held that a construction company was not exempt from a city's growth control ordinance
even though the city and construction company had entered into a consent judgment (tantamount
to a contract under California law) establishing the company's vested rights to develop its
property consistent with the zoning. The California Supreme Court reached this result because
the consent judgment failed to address the timing of development. The Parties intend to avoid
the result of the Pardee case by acknowledging and providing in this Agreement that
9wneFProoertv Owner shall have the vested right to Develop the Project on and with respect to
the Property at the rate, timing, and sequencing that G3#w Pro rtv Owner deems appropriate
within the exercise of Owr* Property Owner's sole subjective business judgment, provided that
AI0J 3 "01.M.1 I HNA 11
I
such Development occurs in accordance with this Agreement and the Development Regulations,
notwithstanding adoption by City's electorate of an initiative to the contrary after the Agreement
Date. No City moratorium or other similar limitation relating to the rate, timing, or sequencing
of the Development of all or any part of the Project and whether enacted by initiative or another
method, affecting subdivision maps, building permits, occupancy certificates, or other
entitlement to use, shall apply to the Project to the extent such moratorium or other similar
limitation restricts Awaer ro env Ownei s vested rights in this Agreement or otherwise
conflicts with the express provisions of this Agreement.
4.3 Reservations of Authority.
Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, the laws,
rules, regulations, and official policies set forth in this Section 4.3 shall apply to and govern the
Development of the Project on and with respect to the Property.
4.3.1 Procedural Regulations. Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies,
petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals,
and any other matter of procedure shall apply to the Property, provided that such procedural
regulations are adopted and applied City -wide or to all other properties similarly situated in City.
4.3.2 Processing and Permit Fees. City shall have the right to charge and
AwnetProperty Owner shall be required to pay all applicable processing and permit fees to cover
the reasonable cost to City of processing and reviewing applications and plans for any required
Subsequent Development Approvals, building permits, excavation and grading permits,
encroachment permits, and the like, for performing necessary studies and reports in connection
therewith, inspecting the work constructed or installed by or on behalf of 9wneeProperty
Owner, and monitoring compliance with any requirements applicable to Development of the
Project, all at the rates in effect at the time fees are due.
4.3.3 Consistent Future City Regulations. City ordinances, resolutions,
regulations, and official policies governing Development which do not conflict with the
Development Regulations, or with respect to such regulations that do conflict, where
0%netProcerty Owner has consented in writing to the regulations, shall apply to the Property.
4.3.4 Development Exactions Applicable to Property. During the Term of this
Agreement, OwfwProperty Owner shall be required to satisfy and pay all Development
Exactions at the time performance or payment is due to the same extent and in the same
amount(s) that would apply to 9wnerPr�rtv Owner and the Project in the absence of this
Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent the scope and extent of a particular
Development Exaction (excluding any development impact fee) for the Project has been
established and fixed by City in the conditions of approval for any of the Development
Regulations approved on or before the Agreement Date, City shall not alter, increase, or modify
said Development Exaction in a manner that is inconsistent with such Development Regulations
without OwwProperty Owner's prior written consent or as may be otherwise required pursuant
to overriding federal or state laws or regulations (Section 4.3.5 hereinbelow). In addition,
nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be deemed to vest AwaeFProoerty Owner against
the obligation to pay any of the following (which are not included within the definition of
"Development Exactions ") in the full amount that would apply in the absence of this Agreement:
AIo 3aorMI nNN 12

(i) City's normal fees for processing, environmental assessment and review, tentative tract and
parcel map review, plan checking, site review and approval, administrative review, building
permit, grading permit, inspection, and similar fees imposed to recover City's costs associated

Agreement shall apply to the Property, together with any City ordinances, resolutions,
regulations, and official policies that are necessary to enable City to comply with the provisions
of any such overriding federal or state laws and regulations, provided that (i) Ownefprocerty
Owner does not waive its right to challenge or contest the validity of any such purportedly
overriding federal, state, or City law or regulation; and (ii) upon the discovery of any such
overriding federal, state, or City law or regulation that prevents or precludes compliance with
any provision of this Agreement, City or HwneFPropertv Owner shall provide to the other Party a
written notice identifying the federal, state, or City law or regulation, together with a copy of the
law or regulation and a brief written statement of the conflict(s) between that law or regulation
and the provisions of this Agreement. Promptly thereafter City and Qm% fProperty Owner shall
meet and confer in good faith in a reasonable attempt to determine whether a modification or
suspension of this Agreement, in whole or in part, is necessary to comply with such overriding
federal, state, or City law or regulation. In such negotiations, City and OwnefProperty Owner
agree to preserve the terms of this Agreement and the rights of GwaefProoerty Owner as derived
from this Agreement to the maximum feasible extent while resolving the conflict. City agrees to
cooperate with OwnefEmperty Owner at no cost to City in resolving the conflict in a manner
which minimizes any financial impact of the conflict upon 9wnefProoerty Owner. City also
agrees to process in a prompt manner OwnefProperty Owner's proposed changes to this
Agreement, the Project and any of the Development Regulations as may be necessary to comply
with such overriding federal, state, or City law or regulation; provided, however, that the
approval of such changes by City shall be subject to the discretion of City, consistent with this
Agreement.

program, or official policy that is necessary to protect persons on the Property or in the
immediate vicinity from conditions dangerous to their health or safety, as reasonably determined
by City, shall apply to the Property, even though the application of the ordinance, resolution, rule
regulation, program, or official policy would result in the impairment of 9wnefProperty Owner's
vested rights under this Agreement.
4.3.7 Uniform Building Standards. Existing and future building and building -
related standards set forth in the uniform codes adopted and amended by City from time to time,
including building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, housing, swimming pool, and fire codes,

constructs or installs any public improvements, works, or facilities, the City standards in effect
for such public improvements, works, or facilities at the time of City's issuance of a permit,
license, or other authorization for construction or installation of same shall apply.
4.3.9 No Guarantee or Reservation of Utility Capacity. Notwithstanding any
other provision set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement is intended
or shall be interpreted to require City to guarantee or reserve to or for the benefit of
9wwefProcenv Owner or the Property any utility capacity, service, or facilities that may be
needed to serve the Project, whether domestic or reclaimed water service, sanitary sewer
transmission or wastewater treatment capacity, downstream drainage capacity, or otherwise, and
City shall have the right to limit or restrict Development of the Project if and to the extent that
City reasonably determines that inadequate utility capacity exists to adequately serve the Project
at the time Development is scheduled to commence.

enforceable by either Party despite any change in any applicable general or specific plan, zoning,
subdivision, or building regulation or other applicable ordinance or regulation adopted by City
(including by City's electorate) that purports to apply to any or all of the Property.
7. Annual Review of OwvtefProperty Owner's Compliance With Agreement.
7.1 General.
City shall review this Agreement once during every twelve (12) month period following
the Effective Date for compliance with the terms of this Agreement as provided in Government
Code Section 65865.1. Qwa fPropeny Owner (including any successor to the ewnefProoenv
Owner executing this Agreement on or before the Agreement Date) shall pay City a reasonable
Am�nnn 0 01os.n rw,a. 14
Q�
fee in an amount City may reasonably establish from time to time to cover the actual and
necessary costs for the annual review. City's failure to timely provide or conduct an annual
review shall not constitute a Default hereunder by City.
7.2 AwmrProvertv Owner Obligation to Demonstrate Good Faith Compliance.
During each annual review by City, 9wm*Property Owner is required to demonstrate
good faith compliance with the terms of the Agreement. AwneFPr pertv Owner agrees to furnish
such evidence of good faith compliance as City, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, may
require, thirty (30) days prior to each anniversary of the Effective Date during the Term.
7.3 Procedure.
The City Council of City shall conduct a duly noticed hearing and shall determine, on the
basis of substantial evidence, whether or not AweefPropertv Owner has, for the period under
review, complied with the terms of this Agreement. If the City Council finds that
OweeFProperty Owner has so complied, the annual review shall be concluded. If the City
Council finds, on the basis of substantial evidence, that OwnefPropeny Owner has not so
complied, written notice shall be sent to OwfwProcerty Owner by first class mail of the City
Council's finding of non - compliance, and AwwEgpo erty Owner shall be given at least ten (10)
days to cure any noncompliance that relates to the payment of money and thirty (30) days to cure
any other type of noncompliance. If a cure not relating to the payment of money cannot be
completed within thirty (30) days for reasons which are beyond the control of OwttefProoerty
Owner, OwwefProoerty Owner must commence the cure within such thirty (30) days and
diligently pursue such cure to completion. If OwnefProoerty Owner fails to cure such
noncompliance within the time(s) set forth above, such failure shall be considered to be a Default
and City shall be entitled to exercise the remedies set forth in Article 8 below.
7.4 Annual Review a Non - Exclusive Means for Determining and Requiring Cure of
9wwefProoerty Owner's Default.
The annual review procedures set forth in this Article 7 shall not be the exclusive means
for City to identify a Default by Ow n"Prooerty Owner or limit City's rights or remedies for any
such Default.
8. Events of Default.
8.1 General Provisions.
In the event of any material default, breach, or violation of the terms of this Agreement
( "Default "), the Party alleging a Default shall have the right to deliver a written notice (each, a
"Notice of Default ") to the defaulting Party. The Notice of Default shall specify the nature of the
alleged Default and a reasonable manner and sufficient period of time (ten (10) days if the
Default relates to the failure to timely make a monetary payment due hereunder and not less than
thirty (30) days in the event of non - monetary Defaults) in which the Default must be cured (the
"Cure Period'). During the Cure Period, the Party charged shall not be considered in Default for
the purposes of termination of this Agreement or institution of legal proceedings. If the alleged
Default is cured within the Cure Period, then the Default thereafter shall be deemed not to exist.
If a non - monetary Default cannot be cured during the Cure Period with the exercise of
AK6 773 W 01.06.11 FINAL 15
G("
commercially reasonable diligence, the defaulting Party must promptly commence to cure as
quickly as possible, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after it receives the Notice of
Default, and thereafter diligently pursue said cure to completion.
8.2 Default by Own"Prooerty Owner.
If AweefProperty Owner is alleged to have committed a non - monetary Default and it
disputes the claimed Default, it may make a written request for an appeal hearing before the City
Council within ten (10) days of receiving the Notice of Default, and a public hearing shall be
scheduled at the next available City Council meeting to consider Own fProoertv Owner's appeal
of the Notice of Default. Failure to appeal a Notice of Default to the City Council within the ten
(10) day period shall waive any right to a hearing on the claimed Default. If Aw"Pronerty
Owner's appeal of the Notice of Default is timely and in good faith but after a public hearing of
OwnefPmt)erty Owner's appeal the City Council concludes that 9wnefProoertv Owner is in
Default as alleged in the Notice of Default, the accrual date for commencement of the thirty (30)
day Cure Period provided in Section 8.1 shall be extended until the City Council's denial of
OwwneF— rooerty Owner's appeal is communicated to AwmfProcerty Owner.
8.3 City's Option to Terminate Agreement.
In the event of an alleged OwwwefProperty Owner Default, City may not terminate this
Agreement without first delivering a written Notice of Default and providing 9wwefPrm rt
Owner with the opportunity to cure the Default within the Cure Period, as provided in Section
8.1, and complying with Section 8.2 if OwnefEroXertV Owner timely appeals any Notice of
Default with respect to a non - monetary Default. A termination of this Agreement by City shall
be valid only if good cause exists and is supported by evidence presented to the City Council at
or in connection with a duly noticed public hearing to establish the existence of a Default. The
validity of any termination may be judicially challenged by 0-%a Prgperty Owner. Any such
judicial challenge must be brought within thirty (30) days of service on 0wa fProperty Owner,
by first class mail, postage prepaid, of written notice of termination by City or a written notice of
City's determination of an appeal of the Notice of Default as provided in Section 8.2. It is the
intention of the Parties that, while the City Council may declare a default and initiate termination
of this Agreement on the basis of substantial evidence in the administrative record, if the
declaration of default is contested in court, the court will review the default claim de novo and
base its decision on whether the preponderance of evidence supports the City Council's finding
of breach.
8.4 Default by City,
If OwnefFmperty Owner alleges a City Default and alleges that the City has not cured the
Default within the Cure Period, GwaufProoerty Owner may pursue any equitable remedy
available to it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, an action for a writ of
mandamus, injunctive relief, or specific performance of City's obligations set forth in this
Agreement. Upon a City Default, any resulting delays in OwaefPropertv Owner's performance
hereunder shall neither be a C ww EmptL Owner Default nor constitute grounds for
termination or cancellation of this Agreement by City and shall, at OwxefProperty Owner's
option (and provided OwttefPropertv Owner delivers written notice to City within thirty (30)
A10 U"73 W 0106.11 FINAL 16
&Z
days of the commencement of the alleged City Default), extend the Term for a period equal to
the length of the delay.
8.5 Waiver.
Failure or delay by either Party in delivering a Notice of Default shall not waive that
Party's right to deliver a future Notice of Default of the same or any other Default.
8.6 Soecific Performance Remedy.
Due to the size, nature, and scope of the Project, it will not be practical or possible to
restore the Property to its pre- existing condition once implementation of this Agreement has
begun. After such implementation, both GwnerProoertv Owner and City may be foreclosed
from other choices they may have had to plan for the development of the Property, to utilize the
Property or provide for other benefits and alternatives. QwnerPro rtv Owner and City have
invested significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the
Project in agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant
time and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement. It
is not possible to determine the sum of money which would adequately compensate
OwneFProoerty Owner or City for such efforts. For the above reasons, City and OwweeProperty
Owner agree that damages would not be an adequate remedy if either City or GwrterPrtmertv
Owner fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, specific performance
of this Agreement is necessary to compensate BiwteFProperty Owner if City fails to carry out its
obligations under this Agreement or to compensate City if 9wnffPr�erty Owner falls to cant'
out its obligations under this Agreement.
8.7 Monetary Damages.
The Parties agree that monetary damages shall not be an available remedy for either Party
for a Default hereunder by the other Party; provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Section 8.7
is intended or shall be interpreted to limit or restrict City's right to recover the Public Benefit
Fees due from 9wneFProperty Owner as set forth herein; and (ii) nothing in this Section 8.7 is
intended or shall be interpreted to limit or restrict GwneWrooe t Owner's indemnity obligations
set forth in Article 10 or the right of the prevailing Party in any Action to recover its litigation
expenses, as set forth in Section 8.10.
8.8 Additional City Remedy for OwfwProoerty Owner's Default.
In the event of any Default by 9wFwWr0 rtv Owner, in addition to any other remedies
which may be available to City, whether legal or equitable, City shall be entitled to receive and
retain any Development Exactions applicable to the Project or the Property, including any fees,
grants, dedications, or improvements to public property which it may have received prior to
0,AnerProperty Owner's Default without recourse from Qwmf roprty Owner or its successors
or assigns.
8.9 No Personal Liability of City Officials. Employees, or Agents.
No City official, employee, or agent shall have any personal liability hereunder for a
Default by City of any of its obligations set forth in this Agreement.

8.10 Recovery of Legal Expenses by Prevailing Party in Any Action.
In any judicial proceeding, arbitration, or mediation (collectively, an "Action') between
the Parties that seeks to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or arises out of this Agreement,
the prevailing Party shall recover all of its actual and reasonable costs and expenses, regardless
of whether they would be recoverable under California Code of Civil Procedure section 1033.5
or California Civil Code section 1717 in the absence of this Agreement. These costs and
expenses include expert witness fees, attorneys' fees, and costs of investigation and preparation
before initiation of the Action. The right to recover these costs and expenses shall accrue upon
initiation of the Action, regardless of whether the Action is prosecuted to a final judgment or
decision.
9. Force Maieure
Neither Party shall be deemed to be in Default where failure or delay in performance of
any of its obligations under this Agreement is caused, through no fault of the Party whose
performance is prevented or delayed, by floods, earthquakes, other acts of God, fires, wars, riots
or similar hostilities, strikes or other labor difficulties, state or federal regulations, or court
actions. Except as specified above, nonperformance shall not be excused because of the act or
omission of a third person. In no event shall the occurrence of an event of force majeure operate
to extend the Term of this Agreement. In addition, in no event shall the time for performance of
a monetary obligation, including without limitation Owneff`m2crty Owner's obligation to pay
Public Benefit Fees, be extended pursuant to this Section.
10. Indemnity Obligations of OvawProyertv Owner.
10.1 Indemnity Arising From Acts or Omissions of QwoerProyerty Owner.
AwaeePro my Owner shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and City's
officials, employees, agents, attorneys, and contractors (collectively, the "City's Affiliated
Parties') from and against all suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, obligations, and
expenses (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and costs) (collectively, a "Claim ") that
may arise, directly or indirectly, from the acts, omissions, or operations of OwaerPropeny
Owner or Gv.4wProptny Owner's agents, contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees in
the course of Development of the Project or any other activities of OwnerPropertv Owner
relating to the Property or pursuant to this Agreement. City shall have the right to select and
retain counsel to defend any Claim filed against City and/or any of City's Affiliated Parties, and
Owner Property Owner shall pay the reasonable cost for defense of any Claim. The indemnity
provisions in this Section 10.1 shall commence on the Agreement Date, regardless of whether the
Effective Date occurs, and shall survive the Termination Date.
10.2 Third Party Litigation.
In addition to its indemnity obligations set forth in Section 10. 1, 9AVaeePrcRLrty Owner
shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and City's Affiliated Parties from and against
any Claim against City or City's Affiliated Parties seeking to attack, set aside, void, or annul the
approval of this Agreement, the Adopting Ordinance, any of the Development Regulations for
the Project (including without limitation any actions taken pursuant to CEQA with respect
thereto), any Subsequent Development Approval, or the approval of any permit granted pursuant
A10Mn 1401 WAI aria. 18
q
to this Agreement. Said indemnity obligation shall include payment of attorney's fees, expert
witness fees, and court costs. City shall promptly notify 0wnerPrnoerty Owner of any such
Claim and City shall cooperate with AwnnFPro x-.rt Owner in the defense of such Claim. If City
fails to promptly notify AwvrofProperty Owner of such Claim, HwnefProoerty Owner shall not
be responsible to indemnify, defend, and hold City harmless from such Claim until
OwxefProperty Owner is so notified and if City fails to cooperate in the defense of a Claim
0waefPr�rty Owner shall not be responsible to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City
during the period that City so fails to cooperate or for any losses attributable thereto. City shall
be entitled to retain separate counsel to represent City against the Claim and the City's defense
costs for its separate counsel shall be included in 9w n fPrrty Owner's indemnity obligation,
provided that such counsel shall reasonably cooperate with Hw*"Rmocrtv Owner in an effort to
minimize the total litigation expenses incurred by AwnefProperty Owner. In the event either
City or OwaefPrOnerty Owner recovers any attorney's fees, expert witness fees, costs, interest,
or other amounts from the party or parties asserting the Claim, OwwefProoert y Owner shall be
entitled to retain the same (provided it has fully performed its indemnity obligations hereunder).
The indemnity provisions in this Section 10.2 shall commence on the Agreement Date,
regardless of whether the Effective Date occurs, and shall survive the Termination Date.
10.3 Environmental Indemnity.
In addition to its indemnity obligations set forth in Section 10.1, from and after the

whatsoever, including without limitation attorney's fees, expert witness fees, and costs, based
upon or arising from any of the following: (i) the actual or alleged presence of any Hazardous
Substance on or under any of the Property in violation of any applicable Environmental Law; (ii)
the actual or alleged migration of any Hazardous Substance from the Property through the soils
or groundwater to a location or locations off of the Property; and (iii) the storage, handling,
transport, or disposal of any Hazardous Substance on, to, or from the Property and any other area
disturbed, graded, or developed by HwwefRmperty Owner in connection with Awn"Property
Owner's Development of the Project. The foregoing indemnity obligations shall not apply to
any Hazardous Substance placed or stored on a separate legal lot within the Property after the
Lot Termination Date for said lot, as provided in Section 2.4 of this Agreement. The indemnity
provisions in this Section 10.3 shall commence on the Agreement Date, regardless of whether the
Effective Date occurs, and shall survive the Termination Date.
11. Assi.ne ment.
9wa Bnaerty Owner shall have the right to sell, transfer, or assign (hereinafter,
collectively, a "Transfer ") OvmwEr�rty Owner's fee interest in to the Property, in whole or in

Property or portion thereof to be so Transferred, including in the case of a partial Transfer the
obligation to perform such obligations that must be performed off of the portion of the Property
so Transferred that are a condition precedent to the successor GwneiProV rtY Owner's right to
develop the portion of the Property so Transferred.
Notwithstanding any Transfer, the transferring Awft"Procerty Owner shall continue to
be jointly and severally liable to City, together with the successor 9wneFProoertv Owner, to
perform all of the transferred obligations set forth in or arising under this Agreement unless the

perform the transferred obligation at the time and in the manner required under this Agreement
and the Development Regulations for the Project.

prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to
the subject matter addressed in this Agreement.
13.10 Severability.
The Patties intend that each and every obligation of the Parties is interdependent and
interrelated with the other, and if any provision of this Agreement or the application of the
provision to any Party or circumstances shall be held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, it is
the intention of the Parties that the remainder of this Agreement or the application of the
provision to persons or circumstances shall be rendered invalid or unenforceable. The Parties

Effective Date occurs and after the Termination Date.
13.11 Construction.
This Agreement has been drafted after negotiation and revision. Both City and
AweefPropertv Owner are sophisticated parties who were represented by independent counsel
throughout the negotiations or City and Aw,ft�fProoertv Owner had the opportunity to be so
represented and voluntarily chose to not be so represented. City and AwFwProverty Owner each
agree and acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement are fair and reasonable, taking into
account their respective purposes, terns, and conditions. This Agreement shall therefore be
construed as a whole consistent with its fair meaning and applicable principle or presumptions of
contract construction or interpretation, if any, shall be used to construe the whole or any par of
this Agreement in favor of or against either Party.
13.12 Successors and Assiens: Constructive Notice and Acceptance.
The burdens of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and the benefits of this Agreement
shall inure to, all successors in interest to the Parties to this Agreement. All provisions of this
Agreement shall be enforceable as equitable servitudes and constitute covenants running with the
land. Each covenant to do or refrain from doing some act hereunder with regard to Development

runs with the Property and each portion thereof; and (iii) is binding upon each Party and each
successor in interest during its ownership uwnefskip of the Property or any portion thereof.
Every person or entity who now or later owns or acquires any right, title, or interest in any part
of the Project or the Property is and shall be conclusively deemed to have consented and agreed
to every provision of this Agreement. This Section 13.12 applies regardless of whether the
Aln.wrn vIOLM.n MN, 24

instrument by which such person or entity acquires the interest refers to or acknowledges this
Agreement and regardless of whether such person or entity has expressly entered into an
assignment and assumption agreement as provided for in Section 11.
13.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries.
The only Parties to this Agreement are City and OwflePPro ertv Owner. This Agreement

benefit or be enforceable by any other person or entity.
13.14 Applicable Law and Venue.
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced consistent with the internal laws of the
State of California, without regard to conflicts of law principles. Any action at law or in equity
arising under this Agreement or brought by any Party for the purpose of enforcing, construing, or

Re: March 13, 2012 City Council Agenda Item 14: NEWPORT BEACH COUNTRY
CLUB (PA2005 -140) - GOLF REALTY FUND -1600 AND 1602 EAST COAST
HIGHWAY.
Dear Honorable Councilmembers:
This letter is written on behalf of one -half of the fee ownership of the property described
above' (the "Property") which is being considered for entitlement tonight for the benefit
of Golf Realty Fund ( "GRF ").
Our position remains that GRF and the City cannot entitle the Property, or create a
binding development agreement for the Property, without the owners' consent.
With respect to Mr. OHill's "alternative plan" for the golf course site leased by the
International Bay Clubs, for the next 56 years, we continue to believe it should be denied
for several reasons:
• Mr. OHill's proposed alternative site plan is less desirable than the approved IBC
plan which allows for a generous setback between the parking lot and PCH, and
is appropriately sized and appointed for the needs of the facility. Mr. OHill's
"personal vision" for the parking lot makes little sense in the context of its use,
and according to testimony received by the City, would a) endanger the Toshiba
The Fainbarg Family Trust (managed by Irving Chase), the Mira Mesa Shopping Center -West LLC, and
the Mesa Shopping Center -East LLC (managed by Elliot Feuerstein), collectively own 50% of the
Property.

Tournament, b) conflict with the IBC's operational requirements, and c) likely
drive the adjacent nursery to discontinue business in Newport Beach.
® To the extent Mr. OHill suggests his "alternative plan" provides flexibility to the
ownership, we do not agree. It only provides confusion for the public, the City
and the California Coastal Commission going forward. Mr. OHill's concept of
entitling the same piece of property with two distinct projects is a questionable
planning practice in this situation, and one that it seems the City should not
engender.
I appreciate you taking the time to consider these comments. Thank you.

CITY OF i 1E'.,PORT BEACH
Thank you for the opportunity to present the following comments regarding the Council's
consideration of an alternate golf clubhouse site plan for the proposed Golf Realty Fund project.
The City Council acted on January 24, 2012 to approve'GolfRealty Fund's tennis club project,
winch involves the elimination of several tennis courts and the construction of a new clubhouse,
residential and hotel rooms. The Council's action did not approve Golf Realty Fund's golf
clubhouse for the adjacent Newport Beach Country Club site, rather, Newport Beach Country
Club, Incorporated's plan was approved. however, tonight the Council is being asked to
reconsider that action-
I have been following this project through the Newport Beach Planning Commission and City
Council actions and because the City's January 24, 2012 approval did not include the golf
clubhouse associated with the Golf Realty Fund project I have not previously submitted
comments in writing. However, now that the Council is considering the approval of the alternate
plan for the golf clubhouse, I have the following comments on the deficiencies in the Mitigated
Negative Declaration (NM) prepared for the Golf Realty Fund project
Besides the obvious loss of the tennis courts, which is an impact to recreation facilities, the
project could impact surrounding residences and businesses. Mitigation should be provided for
the loss of recreational uses. In addition, the project description lacks the necessary specificity
required to fiilly analyze each aspect of the project. The lack of detail for amenities such as the
swimming pool and the golf clubhouse internal components leaves the reader with more
questions than answers. The inadequate project description does not give the public an
opportunity to review specifics of all the components or potential impacts on the community.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that all phases of project planning,
implementation and operation must be considered in the preparation of environmental
documents. More specific detail is required regarding each aspect of the project to present a
cohesive picture.
The golf course is currently host to a variety of professional and charity golf tournaments as well
as luncheons, banquets and other special events. These events have been on -going for a number
of years and have been well received within the community. It is a benefit to the City of Newport
Beach to have a facility of this stature to provide these special event opportunities. However, the
MND does not describe what uses will be included in the clubhouse and how much square
footage will be devoted to each use. Without such detail, it is unclear whether adequate parking
will be provided for the golf clubhouse, since the alternate plan has significantly fewer parking
spaces than the existing clubhouse. Again, CEQA requires a project description to be accurate
and finite.
The NM fails to accurately assess the aesthetic and recreational impacts of the project on the
Newport Beach Country Club. The plans provided locate the residences and hotel units directly
adjacent to the golf course and there is no discussion of whether it is safe to place these units on
the golf course. There is also no discussion of bow these units will impact the views from the
existing golf course. The MND should have detailed the height and massing of the structures as
they relate to the golf course. CEQA specifically requires consideration of whether a project
would have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista, damage scenic resources, substantially
degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site or create a new source of substantial
light or glare. The MND does not provide adequate visual support via view simulations for the
general public to determine if any aesthetic thresholds have been exceeded.
With regard to the parking lot configuration, not only is it not user - friendly, it could present
significant safety hazards as patrons could potentially choose to weave between cars and through
landscaping to access the building entrances rather than walking to the ends of the drive aisles.
The circulation pattern for this parking lot layout creates a significant hazard due to people
potentially walking between cars and into drive aisles where approaching cars might be unaware
of their presence_ The industry standard is to orient parking stalls in rows in a manner that
doesn't require that a person accessing the clubhouse must walk in between parked cars. The
MND does not address this unusual parking lot layout and the impact it will have on pedestrian
circulation patterns.
The elimination of the frontage road between Armstrong Nursery and Irvine Terrace Drive is
also a significant safety hazard for customers of the nursery who wish to use the signalized
intersection at Irvine Terrace and East Coast Highway. Since the roadway currently exists, and
has been used for many years, removal of this important access would be a significant impact
that is not analyzed in the MND. Beyond public safety, the frontage road improves the
circulation on the site and the surrounding area during the annual Toshiba Tournament, which is
currently underway_ The MND does not analyze the impacts of the removal of the frontage road
on traffic and circulation.
The MND also fails to address Golf Rea* Fund's ability to develop the golf clubhouse; as
proposed. The golf course /golf clubhouse portion of the site is currently under a lease that has a
remaining term of over 50 years. How does Golf Realty Fund plan to implement a project
approval considering the existing lease? The NM completely ignores this important
information_ If project approval cannot take effect until the current lease expires, please explain
the process the City envisions for effecting an approval that was previously denied by the
Planning Commission and City Council and cannot be built for more than half a century. Even
by ignoring the lease, which the MND does, surely the City's building and development
standards will change at some point in the next decade, and it is unclear why the City would
want to approve an alternative site plan that would not be implemented unless Newport Beach
Country Club, Incorporated's plan is not built What would be the effect on the Newport Beach
Country Club, Incorporated's ability to move forward with their golf clubhouse renovation
project which was just approved by the City?
For the reasons stated above, I believe that the City Council should uphold the original decision
on the Golf Realty Fund golf clubhouse. The Golf Realty Fund project is inadequately described
and lacking in the level of environmental analysis required due to the deficiencies in the MND.
The approvals by the City of two competing projects should also cause concern to anyone trying
to upgrade or redevelop leased property in the City. What impact would an approval of the Golf
Realty Fund project have on the currently approved Newport Beach Country Club project? It
would seem that a bona fide lessee should be allowed to advance an approved project without
fear that the approval could be overturned by a subsequent City Council action in which they
have no part.
Thank you for your consideration of these comments.

proposed. The golf course /golf clubhouse portion of the site is currently under a lease that has a
remaining term of over 50 years. How does Golf Realty Fund plan to implement a project
approval considering the existing lease? The MND completely ignores this important
information. If project approval cannot take effect until the current lease expires, please explain
the process the City envisions for effecting an approval that was previously denied by the
Planning Commission and City Council and cannot be built for more than half a century. Even
by ignoring the lease, which the MND does, surely the City's building and development
standards will change at some point in the next decade, and it is unclear why the City would
want to approve an alternative site plan that would not be implemented unless Newport Beach
Country Club, Incorporated's plan is not built. What would be the effect on the Newport Beach
Country Club, Incorporated's ability to move forward with their golf clubhouse renovation
project which was just approved by the City?
For the reasons stated above, I believe that the City Council should uphold the original decision
on the Golf Realty Fund golf clubhouse. The Golf Realty Fund project is inadequately described
and lacking in the level of environmental analysis required due to the deficiencies in the MND.
The approvals by the City of two competing projects should also cause concern to anyone trying
to upgrade or redevelop leased property in the City. What impact would an approval of the Golf
Realty Fund project have on the currently approved Newport Beach Country Club project? It
would seem that a bona fide lessee should be allowed to advance an approved project without
fear that the approval could be overturned by a subsequent City Council action in which they
have no part.
Thank you for your consideration of these comments.

Pace 3 of 21
2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration, an Errata to the Mitigated Negative Declaration,
and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program were adopted by City Council on
January 24, 2012, by adopting certain CEQA determinations containing within
Resolution No. 2012 -9, which are hereby incorporated by reference.
3. The City Council finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA determinations and
approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In addition, project
opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As project
applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that such
applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial challenge,
and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which may be
awarded to a successful challenger.
SECTION 3. FINDINGS.
1. Tennis Courts Conversion.
Finding:
A. The conversion will not result in any adverse traffic impacts and is consistent with the
General Plan.
Facts in Support of Finding:
A -1. The twenty -seven hotel units generate 15 A.M., 16 P.M. and 221 average daily trips
based upon Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Rates (7th Edition).
This increase in traffic is entirely off -set by the traffic associated with the elimination of
17 tennis courts (22 A.M, 56 P.M and 658 average daily trips based upon ITE Trip
Generation Rates). As a result, traffic generated by the proposed project would
decrease by 389 daily trips, 3 A.M. trips, and 35 P.M. trips.
A -2 The design regulations for the hotel rooms set forth in the Planned Community
Development Plan will ensure that the proposed hotel use and the physical
improvements for the hotel rooms will not lend themselves to conversion to higher
traffic - generating uses.
A -3. In order to accommodate the development of the proposed 27 hotel -unit development
(bungalows), the 17 tennis courts shall be converted to 27 hotel units. The conversion
of eliminated 17 tennis courts to 27 hotel units is consistent with the General Plan
based upon the recognition that the General Plan provides for additional retail
opportunities at Fashion Island, hotel rooms, and housing units within Newport Center.
Additionally, the proposed conversion revitalizes an area wherein the General Plan
encourages hotel development and the conversion does not create traffic impacts.
2. Site Development Review — The applicant proposes a Site Development Review to
allow the redevelopment of the existing golf clubhouse and tennis club, pursuant to the
Section 4.3 of the PCDP.

Finding:
I. That the subdivision is consistent with Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act and
Section 65584 of the California Government Code regarding the City's share of the regional
housing need and that it balances the housing needs of the region against the public service
needs of the City's residents and available fiscal and environmental resources.

system will not result in a violation of existing requirements prescribed by the Regional Water
Quality Control Board.
