Temple S NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92658 (949) 644 -3228 c,4FOa�`� (949) 644 -3200; FAX (949) 644 -3250 REPORT TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT. Planning Analysis of the "Protection from Traffic and Density" Initiative ACTION: Approve a budget amendment in the amount of $11,500, and authorize the City Manager to retain the services of a firm employing a former City employee, and to execute a professional services agreement with The Planning Center for the preparation of a planning analysis of the initiative. On January 11, 2000, the City Council placed the Protection from Traffic and Density initiative on the November, 2000 ballot. Since the initiative qualified for the ballot, staff has received numerous questions regarding how the proposed Charter amendment would operate, and how it would affect the development review process. Due to the intricacies of its provisions, particularly the need to include past General Plan Amendment approvals in the calculations to determine whether a development which includes a General Plan Amendment must be submitted to the voters for approval, detailed and time - consuming research is needed to answer the questions. There is not available staff to work on this project. Therefore, we have solicited a proposal from the consulting firm of The Planning Center to complete this work. This firm was selected by staff because a former member of the Planning Department, John Douglas, works with this firm. He has a great deal of experience with the City's development review process, and the structure of the current General Plan. This knowledge will be valuable to assure the completeness and accuracy of the research, and, therefore, of the information which will then be available. Council Policy F -20 requires that a professional services contract with a former City employee, or with a firm that employs a former City employee, be approved by the City Council. Because of the special advantages the retention of a person experienced with the City's Planning Department and development review processes will bring to the project, staff recommends that the City Manager be authorizedto execute the attached contract. The proposed scope of services is attached. Submitted by: Prepared by: SHARONZ. WOOD PATRICIA L. TEMPLE Assistant City Manager Planning Director P". d12 �. Attachments: 1.

APPROVED AS TO FORM: By: Robin Clauson Assistant City Attorney for the City of Newport Beach ATTEST: M LaVonne Harkless City Clerk CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH A Municipal Corporation Homer L. Bludau City Manager for the City of Newport Beach CONSULTANT A John Douglas The Planning Center 10 February 2, 2000 Ms. Patricia Temple Planning Director City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, CA 92658 -8915 Subject: Proposal to Provide Consulting Services — Green Light Initiative Analysis Dear Ms. Temple: Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal to provide planning services to the City. Our understanding of the work required and a proposed scope, schedule and budget are described below. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING In response to a citizens' initiative petition, the Newport Beach City Council has voted to place a proposed Charter Amendment on the November ballot. This initiative would require voter approval of any future "major amendment" to the City's General Plan. The proposal defines "major amendment" as one that would allow an additional 100 dwelling units or 40,000 square feet of Floor area, or would generate over 100 peak hour trips. These thresholds would apply to the total of the increases resulting from the amendment itself plus 80 percent of the increases resulting from other amendments within the same statistical area of the city adopted within the preceding 10 years, excluding any amendments approved by the voters. It is the City's desire to evaluate the implications of the proposed initiative and, in particular, to understand the significance of the provision requiring a cumulative analysis of amendments approved during the preceding 10- years. The scope of services described below would provide the City with an accurate summary by Statistical Area of all amendments to the Land Use Element of the General Plan that have been adopted since November 1990. While this statistical analysis will be the primary work product, the process by which this information will be gathered, analyzed and reported is of paramount importance due to the political sensitivity of this effort. It is absolutely essential that both the initiative proponents and opponents agree that the methodology used is objective and the individuals performing this work are unbiased. Accordingly, the proposed scope of services includes tasks intended to ensure the credibility of the process. It is our understanding that the following issues will not be addressed as part of this study: • Legal analysis of the initiative and its likelihood of being upheld by the courts February 2, 2000 Page 2 • Fiscal impacts of the initiative on the City SCOPE OF SERVICES Task 1. Refine the Methodology and Scope The Consultant will attend and facilitate a kick -off meeting with key City staff to discuss the project objectives and review the work program. At this kick -off meeting the following issue should be addressed: • What procedures or methodo logy would ensure that the results of the study will be fair and impartial. Deliverables: Kick -off meeting. Revised methodology and scope of work Task 2. Data Gathering and Draft Report Using the methodology and scope developed during Task 1, the Consultant will research the City's General Plan Amendment records and prepare an analysis following the matrix format provided in Attachment 1. The analysis will itemize each GPA by statistical area and year along with the number of additional dwelling units, non - residential Floor area, and peak hour trips represented by the amendment as compared to the previous General Plan designation for the property. The draft matrix will be submitted to the City for review. A meeting will be held and the results of the research will be presented by the Consultant. In response to questions or concerns, additional research may be necessary. Deliverables: Draft matrix of General Plan Amendments approved from November 1990 to the present and supporting technical documentation. Meeting with City staff. Task 3: Final Report In response to feedback from the City, the Consultant will prepare a final matrix and report containing the results of the analysis. Deliverables: Final matrix of General Plan Amendments approved from November 1990 to the present and technical report. Schedule and Availabilitv We are prepared to commence work on the project immediately upon receiving authorization to proceed. The following is a proposed preliminary schedule: February 2, 2000 Page 3 Week 1 Week 2 Weeks 3 -4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Background information collection Meeting and refinement of work program GPA data collection and preparation of draft report Meeting and City review of draft report Refine draft analysis and preparation of draft final report City review of draft final report Preparation and delivery of final report All of the work described in this proposal will be done by John Douglas, AICP with the exception of clerical support. Citv Su000rt Reauired This proposal assumes that the City will provide access to all relevant General Plan Amendment files and assist the Consultant in locating the files and ensuring that all applicable projects have been identified. It is also assumed that knowledgeable City staff will be available to answer technical questions as needed. Word processing and report production will be handled by the Consultant. Budget The estimated budget for the project is provided in Attachment 3. Conclusion Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal. I look forward to working with you on this important project. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to me at 714 - 966 -9220. Sincerely, THE PLANNING CENTER John H.

Here are some questions and issues the study might look at: 1. Traffic Improvements. What specific traffic improvements are required by the initiative? What specific traffic improvements are required by the TPO? 2. Projects Covered. What types of projects are covered by the initiative — once the threshold of 100 trips, 100 homes or 40,000 square feet above the General Plan is reached in each zone? What types of development projects does the TPO cover? 3. General Plan Amendments vs. Non - General Plan Amendments. Does the initiative cover large and small development proposals that do not require General Plan Amendents? Does the TPO? 4. Elections. How many elections would the city have held due to General Plan Amendments over the past ten years? How much would this have cost the taxpayers of Newport Beach? S. Administrative Cost. How many staff persons must be hired and how many taxpayer dollars must be spent over the next ten years to administer, oversee and implement the initiative? 6, TPO Toughest? How does the current TPO compare to other types of traffic mitigation ordinances in Orange County? Which past city projects have come under the TPO? What sort of impacts did the TPO have on those developments and how much additional traffic mitigation was required as a result? FEB- 08-2000 1608 97% P.02 �Lb. t1.G04b y ; LIN IiLML11I & LUM11 KLL NV. 1!'y City Council Talldng Points • TPO Toughest. We're proud that we have passed the toughest Traffic Mitigation Ordinance in Orange County. The TPO has resulted in millions of dollars of additional traffic mitigation contributions in recent years. ■ TPO Covers ALL Projects — Initiative Doesn't. Unlike the initiative — which covers only General Plan Amendments — the TPO covers EVERY project that generates one percent or more new traffic to a major intersection in the city. ■ TPO Raises Improvement Money — Initiative Doesn't. The TPO requires developers to pay to mitigate ALL the impacts of their projects — this is a solution oriented ordinance. The initiative doesn't require developers to mitigate any traffic problems — it simply calls for an election. ■ TPO Keeps City Vital — Initiative Ensures Stagnation. The TPO permits reasonable development to occur as long as it fully mitigates any new traffic it generates. The initiative prevents new updates to the General Plan_ It locks in the current plan and prevents it from being updated in the future to meet changing needs. FEB -08 -2000 16:08 97% P.03
