RECOMMENDATION 1. Adopt Resolution 2009 - forming the City Council Ad Hoc Development Agreement Committee, 2. Confirm the Mayor's appointment of up to three Council Members. DISCUSSION The International Bay Clubs, Inc. submitted an application for a Planned Community Development Plan for the redevelopment of their golf clubhouse, maintenance building and parking areas located at 1600 East Coast Highway. The subject property is located within the General Plan Land Use Element Statistical Area L1 (Newport Center). Section 15.45.020.A.2.c of the Municipal Code requires the execution of development agreements for non - residential developments in Statistical Area L1(Newport Center) that would require an approval of a General Plan amendment, Zoning Code amendment or other legislative act. Development agreements are required to define the improvements and benefits to be contributed by the developer in exchange for the City's commitment for the proposed development intensity. Staff is seeking guidance from the City Council on the terms and conditions of such an agreement. Staff, therefore, recommends a formation of a short -term ad hoc committee to ensure that adequate public benefits will be provided. The committee members would be appointed by the Mayor and could be comprised of up to three Council Members.
