RESOLUTIONNO. 1435
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF
THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT NO. 8
WHEREAS, the State Legislature and the City Council have determined that the
lack of certainty in the approval of development projects can result in a waste of resources, escalate
the cost of housing and other development to the consumer, and discourage investment in and
commitment to comprehensive planning which would make maximum efficient utilization of
resources at the least economic cost to the public; and
WHEREAS, the assurance that an applicant may proceed with a project in
• accordance with existing policies, rules and regulations, and subject to conditions of approval, will
strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning,
and reduce the economic costs of development; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65864 et seq. authorizes cities to
enter into development agreements with any person having a legal or equitable interest in real
property for the development of the property; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 15.45 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code provides
requirements and procedures for the amendment of development agreements; and
WHEREAS, the First Amendment to Development Agreement No. 8 has been
prepared in compliance with state law and the Newport Beach Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, in compliance with state law and city ordinance, a duly noticed public
Shearing was held by the Planning Commission to consider the First Amendment to Development
Agreement No, 8; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that the Amendment is in compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act and Guidelines promulgated thereunder; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that said Amendment is in
conformance with the Newport Beach General Plan; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of the Development Agreement Amendment will not
preclude the City from conducting future discretionary reviews in connection with the project, nor
•
U,
would it prevent the City from imposing conditions or requirements to mitigate significant impacts
identified in such reviews provided that the measures do not render the project infeasible.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Newport Beach hereby recommends City Council approval of the First Amendment to
Development Agreement No. 8.
