Insufficient opportunity for public review and comment, and; b. Rejection of earlier allotment numbers generated and vetted over along period of time; and; c. Short time period for RHNA implementation, and; Whereas the Chapman University forecast projects statewide permitting at 115,000 units in 2020, nowhere near the statewide need of some 500,000 new units per year suggested by Governor Gavin Newsom, concluding that the California Department of Housing and Community Development's (HCD)1.3 million regional allocation "is illogical and would be impossible to pull off, even if it was plausible" due to a weak real estate outlook tied to limited population growth, slower hiring pace, and aging owners, and; Whereas Newport Beach should be considered unique in many ways including: a. Newport Beach has an overall density of 3,600 persons per square mile with especially high densities of dwelling units per acre in the beach communities, while still allowing access for thousands of beachgoers and other visitors to the coastal amenities we provide, b. Newport Beach residents have worked over the years to protect the unique coastal resources which are enjoyed by and benefit statewide visitors which include wetlands, coastal bluffs, parks, and important ecosystems such as the Upper Newport Bay, the Newport Coast, Crystal Cove, the Banning Ranch, and; c. Newport Beach sends funds for statewide purposes from income, sales and property taxes without receiving enough back to clean and police the bay, beaches and parks used by statewide visitors, and; RHNA Resolution Page 1 of 33 As of January 27, 2020 SPON is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public education organization working to protect and preserve the residential and environmental qualities of Newport Beach. � Still Protecting Our Newport Inspiring The Next M-- Generation PO Box 102 1 Balboa Island, CA 92662 1 949.864.6616 S P 0 N N B. o r g I Social Media @ SPONN B @ S P O N Newport d. Newport Beach residents had the foresight to initiate a Parks Dedication Ordinance calling for five acres per thousand new residents and this part of our infrastructure needs to be considered in approving new housing, and; e. Newport Beach residents had the foresight to initiate a Traffic Phasing Ordinance which calls for development of our circulation infrastructure to accommodate new traffic and this part of our infrastructure needs to be considered in approving new housing, and; f. Newport Beach has essentially kept up (all but 1 very low cost unit) with its RHNA 5th cycle mandates called for from 2013 - 2020. Having fulfilled those goals, the City has also allowed 1,200 apartment units at Uptown Newport and recently entitled 270 more apartment units, including affordable units, at Newport Crossings. Although these projects were entitled before the end of the 5th RHNA cycle, they nevertheless showed Newport's efforts to provide housing for moderate to low income families. Any of these units that were not required to fulfill the 5th cycle requirements should be counted toward the upcoming 6th cycle. Whereas, Newport Beach has taken steps already to provide for various types of needed housing, such as: a. Newport Beach has already adopted zoning allowances for more accessory dwelling units on 5,000 properties, at least 25% of which should be counted toward new RHNA allocations, and; b. Newport Beach has recently approved two new assisted living facilities accommodating over 200 of our elderly population and many six -unit assisted living homes, spread throughout our neighborhoods and serving as a primary residence for many elderly people, which should be counted toward new RHNA allocations, and; c. Newport Beach has a significant number of undocumented rentals and low rent rooms in homes throughout the City which are not accounted for and which should be considered in new RHNA allocations because of their provision for low cost housing, and; d. Newport Beach gives permits for 56 boat "live-aboards" and could consider more to provide low- cost housing, and; e. Residents of Newport have successfully opposed new luxury condos in favor of planning for more affordable units, and; RHNA Resolution Page 2 of 33 As of January 27, 2020 SPON is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public education organization working to protect and preserve the residential and environmental qualities of Newport Beach. 1- V Generation PO Box 102 1 Balboa Island, CA 92662 1 949.864.6616 S P 0 N N B. o r g I Social Media @ SPONN B @ S P O N Newport Whereas, the RHNA allocations called for by the State would seriously destabilize other parts of our previously well-planned infrastructure including schools, and; Whereas, Newport Beach is currently undertaking a complete General Plan Update to include a focus on sustainability and reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT), and; Whereas, Newport Beach should not have to sacrifice the long standing values and programs established in our General Plan, including pending successful efforts to preserve the Banning Ranch, and; Whereas, Newport Beach has a health and safety challenge of serious consequences: a. in planning for potential emergency evacuations, and; b. in managing on a daily basis the timely and effective response for emergency vehicles due to overcrowded roads and arterials, and; Whereas, the RHNA allocations and schedule being placed on SCAG cities, including Newport Beach, create a chaos and turmoil for citizens and officials who have worked for and relied upon the many values, unique circumstances and related local ordinances stated above; Therefore be it resolved that the organizations and individuals below request that the City of Newport Beach convey to the State that the City cannot meet the schedule that is currently demanded and the State's RHNA allocation is not acceptable unless and until the City has negotiated and agreed to the resolution of the issues and numbers given above and the City is able to show that any new zoning can be consistent with our General Plan.

What was a once a 5 min ride down PCH from Cameo Highlands to Mac Arthur (2miles), now can take up to 20 minutes. Not only is it an annoyance of daily life, but it significantly increases pollution with all of the idling cars. The quality of life from the traffic and housing density with not enough garage parking (e.g. new condos that don't require two parking spots/unit) has had a direct negative impact on the quality of life in this beautiful community. 1/21/2020 8:31:27 terry becker 92660 Our city is already overcrowded.

There simply is no room to add this many new houses in our city and the infrastructure is presently inadequate to handle the growth that has already occurred in Newport. It is unrealistic and operationally unfathomable that the city can absorb another 4,832 houses and serve the increased population that will result. The city currently lacks the resources to support our present population and our roads, schools, social and city services are already overburdened.

Yet the State Government offers no solution to mitigate traffic gridlock and continue to allow, and now force cities to add more residents? This is absurd. Let the cities and state FIRST plan and develop new high speed transportation systems to ease current gridlock BEFORE talking adding more traffic.

Received First Last Zip Comments The City of Newport Beach offers, for its residents and public visitors, a distinctive and finite menu of Natural Resources --ocean, bay, hills,wetlands . These are finite and need to be preserved at all cost. The General Plan needs to protect these areas in perpetuity ---they cannot be recovered. Futhermore, these resources are delicate, and are vulnerable to natural disasters if they are over - intensified, particularly with development that stresses integrity and creates life safety threats with ingress/egress.( floods, landslides, liquifaction). Residential development should be ONLY in the context of where it does not over -burden and increase life safety risk. A sound, realistic Land Use Plan, developed through adequate vision , evaluation and public process, is critical to making decisions that do not create adverse impacts that irrevocably change our residential communities, and put our citizens and the public at risk. Sound Housing development decisions must flow from a well thought out Land Use Element of the General Plan -- definitely not vice versa. There are definitely some areas that could be intensified ---where additional intensification is appropriate. There are others where intensification is counterproductive.Our thoroughfares across Newport Beach also are inherently limited, and so should residential development needs to be carefully considered. We need to ,through careful process, "inventory" our assets with legitimate potential for reuse and see what makes sense. Right now, staff appears to be making knee-jerk recommendations. Real estate development has long term and some irrevocable 1/24/2020 17:37 Denys Oberman 92661 implications, and should not be taken lightly.

Since when is it ok to litter, harass, loiter, shoot up illegal drugs and threaten tax abiding residents? People are coming here from all over because they CAN and now homelessness has become a thriving business. It started in the 70's when they closed the mental hospitals. Liberal policies are to blame. More housing will NOT fix the issue when the majority of the homeless don't even want to be "confined" to a home.

My wife, daughter and I had to leave our rental home of 9 years because our landlord raised the rent after observing higher monthly rates of a nearby AirBnB property. However, I am concerned that the state may be forcing counties and cities to build more affordable housing when the amount of existing empty housing units (single-family homes, apartments, condos, trailer homes, etc.) outnumbers the homeless population. For example, "At least 36,000 homeless people live in the city of Los Angeles, but L.A. potentially has more than 41,000 empty housing units, according to a report released Tuesday by UCLA law students and a coalition of economic justice organizations." htt ps://I a i st. co m/2019/11/20/los-a nge I es -h o u s i n g- vacancy-homeless.php. Another article reports, "CALIFORNIA HOMEOWNERS HAVE 20 UNINHABITED BEDROOMS FOR EVERY HOMELESS PERSON. The search for housing justice shouldn't ignore the empty luxury spaces we subsidize most." www.sightli ne.org/2019/11/22/cal ifornia- homeowners-have-20-uninhabited-bedrooms-for- every-homeless-person/. Another article reports, that "San Francisco has nearly five empty homes per homeless resident." https://sf.curbed.com/2019/12/3/20993251/san- fra n c i sco-b a v -a rea-va ca nt-h o m es -pe r -h o m e l ess- count Southern California communities suffer from the significant negative impacts of urban sprawl, which has increased traffic congestion, air pollution, noise pollution and water pollution. Sprawl has also destroyed habitat for theatened wildlife species and removed valuable open space/natural area for human benefit. Please consider creative strategies that make existing housing units more affordable/accessible versus destroying our remaining open spaces/natural areas. Many private developers are already taking advantage of the statewide pressure and proposing new high-density housing units in inappropriate locations, including congested urban areas and irreplaceable, fire-proned 1/27/2020 9:37 Joel Robinson Other rural areas.

ShakeAlert West Coast Earthquake Early Warning ShakeAlert " Early Warning Earthquake System (video) presentation, December 17, 2019, Hosted by: Kevin Tiscareno, Training Captain, Newport Beach Fire Department. City website: https://www.newportbeachca.gov/government/departments/public-information- office/nbtv/streaming-video Presenter: Margaret Vinci, Caltech ShakeAlert SoCal Regional Coordinator Phone: (626) 395-3298 Email: mvinci@gps.caltech.edu Developed by: United States Geological Survey Caltech U.C. Berkley University of Oregon University of Washington ShakeAlert has been in development since the 1980's Earthquake Magnitude: Magnitude: Earthquake size is a quantitative measure of the size of the earthquake at its source. The Richter Magnitude Scale measures the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake. Forecasted frequency of a magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the San Andreas fault Average occurrence about every 150 years Last event 1857 The next forecasted occurrence based on the 150 -year average was 2007. It's not if, but when! Orange County Earthquake Risk: Source: USGS. 99% chance of a magnitude 6.7 earthquake in southern California in the next 30 years. 75% likelihood of a magnitude 7.0+ earthquake in southern California in the next 30 years. Intensity of Shaking: The severity of earthquake shaking is assessed using a descriptive scale —the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale. Intensity of shaking represents amount of shaking relevant for potential damage. Important factors include soil type. Much of the L.A. basin and Orange County are sediment filled valleys having a high liquefaction potential. 2019 Forecasted Effects: Widespread damage affecting 8 counties in southern California $213 billion in damages 300,000 buildings significantly damaged, widespread infrastructure damage 270,000 displaced persons 50,000 injuries Water, electricity, gas and telephone service interruptions Emergency responders overwhelmed 18 -month recovery period Economic Shock $$$$ David Tanner Page 1 of 2 January 28, 2020 Recommendations 1. City Council members and staff watch this video. 2. Increase public awareness — the public needs to know the forecasted risks, what steps the City is taking and what the public should do. 3. Consider the forecasted effects in the updated General Plan. 4. Provide SCAG additional information identifying the City's liquefaction/earthquake hazards 5. Share this video with SCAG and elected officials involved in housing stimulus legislation. 6. Request/offer to coordinate a presentation by Margaret Vinci to SCCAG and state legislators prior to the SCAG RHNA determination. We do not build high density housing at the base of unstable hillsides, identified landslides or avalanche hazard areas. Of course not! So why is our state legislature mandating we build significant new housing in high liquefaction hazard areas subject to catastrophic effects in the event of a large earthquake. I would like our elected officials who voted in favor of new housing stimulus bills to explain their rationale for voting in favor of these bills given federal and state agency forecasted public health and safety effects from a large earthquake on the San Andreas fault to high liquefaction risk areas in the L.A. basin and Orange County in light of their affirmation of allegiance as elected officials under the Government Code'. The Government Code states "protection of health and safety and preservation of the lives and property of the people of the state from the effects of natural, manmade, or war -caused emergencies which result in conditions of disaster or in extreme peril to life, property, and resources is of paramount state importance requiring the responsible efforts of public and private agencies and individual citizens." There is an apparent conflict. It appears housing stimulus laws which are of state-wide importance are paramount to public health and safety. I'm asking the City consider if the legislature has followed the law in enacting Housing Stimulus laws. 'GOVERNMENT CODE - GOV TITLE 1. GENERAL [100 - 79141 (Title 1 enacted by Stats. 1943, Ch. 134.)

It is hereby declared that the protection of the health and safety and preservation of the lives and property of the people of the state from the effects of natural, manmade, or war -caused emergencies which result in conditions of disaster or in extreme peril to life, property, and resources is of paramount state importance requiring the responsible efforts of public and private agencies and individual citizens. In furtherance of the exercise of the police power of the state in protection of its citizens and resources, all public employees are hereby declared to be disaster service workers subject to such disaster service activities as may be assigned to them by their superiors or by law.
