He stated that the County Board of Supervisors recently agreed formally to work with the City in developing the necessary environmental documentation and stakeholder support for the extension of the settlement agreement. Mayor Adams added that the settlement agreement can't be relied on solely, however, and that the City must also be an advocate for a second airport in Orange County. He stated that the City's economy and livelihood will depend on adequate air passenger and cargo capacity, and a way to provide it with equitable sharing of the environmental cost must be found. Mayor Adams stated that the agenda for the current meeting includes a recommendation to form a new ad hoc committee to help guide the settlement agreement extension process and a recommendation to reform the existing Airport Issues Ad Hoc Committee to separately deal with issues relating to the reuse of the El Toro Air Station.

ADOPT RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF EXTENDING STATE ROUTE 57 (SR57) TO INTERSTATE 405 (I -405). Jan Vandersloot, 2221 E. 16th Street, stated that it was premature for the City to support the extension of State Route 57 without further analysis and public input. He read from page 2 of the staff report that stated, "The adjacent cities of Fountain Valley and Santa Ana oppose the project because of its neighborhood impacts and their concern about flood and water quality implications from intrusion in the river channel". He stated that it is proposed to put the extension on top of the Santa Ana River and it is very controversial. He stated that Newport Beach needs to consider the possible water quality impacts. Additionally, Dr. Vandersloot questioned the traffic projections. He stated that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) should be prepared. He concluded by requesting that further study be asked for and that the resolution not be approved at the current meeting. Larry Porter, 2712 Cliff Drive, agreed with Dr. Vandersloot's comments. He stated that the item requires further study before the resolution is adopted. Ron Winship, 34 Corsica, stated that the project needs to be analyzed. He encouraged the City Council to study the issue very carefully and consider the project's impacts to Newport Beach's quality of life. Nancy Skinner, 1724 Highland Drive, stated that the issue may seem routine, but she doesn't understand why the City Council is being asked to make a decision before receiving more background information. She stated that she didn't feel that the City Council needed to do anything at the current meeting regarding the item. Mayor Adams stated his understanding that the recommended action was to support the extension of a franchise agreement to allow the road to be built Volume 53 - Page 717 i i.Ni] �►:1 City Manager's Contract (38) State Route 57 Extension (74) City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 12, 2000 INDEX in the future. He added that all of the environmental documentation and studies would be done as part of the entitlement. He agreed with the comments of the speakers, and stated that the City won't know if it will benefit from the freeway extension until the environmental impact work is done. He added that he has a problem with the resolution supporting the extension of the freeway. He stated that he could support the resolution if it were modified to only support the extension of the agreement. Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway stated that the extension of State Route 57 is a mobility issue, but needs to be weighed with the impacts to Newport Beach. He requested that the item be taken off calendar. He stated that the City may be considering the adoption of a resolution that could be contrary to City interests. Mayor Adams asked if Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway wanted to look at the item in more detail at a later date or remove it from the calendar altogether. Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway stated that he would prefer to remove it so that the City could try to get an initial understanding about the potential for water quality damage. He stated that he didn't feel that the City had adequate knowledge to move forward with a resolution. Council Member Glover agreed that it was premature and she would not be supporting the resolution at the current meeting. She asked if there was a plan to continue the extension of State Route 57 to Coast Highway. Public Works Director Webb stated that he didn't know of any plans for State Route 57 to go beyond the 405 Freeway. Council Member Glover stated her concern for supporting the franchisee. She stated that the City should have more information and the appropriate time to look at it might be when the EIR is completed. She added that she didn't understand why the City would ever need to support the extension anyway. Council Member Proctor stated his understanding, from the information in the staff report, that the EIR and possible mitigation would be evaluated later in the process. City Manager Bludau agreed that the resolution was poorly worded. He stated that the issue before the City Council at the current meeting was whether to support American Transportation Development's request for an extension of their franchise term. He stated that if the franchise agreement is extended, that EIR documents would be produced in order to assess what the impacts of the proposed highway would be and what alternatives were available. City Manager Bludau stated that the proposed resolution was only intended to help kick off the process. He agreed, however, that the City may not even need to support the concept at the current meeting, but would like to see the EIR process begin. Mayor Adams asked if the franchisee needed the City's support to continue. City Manager Bludau stated that they have asked for it, but don't need it. Mayor Adams stated that if the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is in support of the project, he would have liked for them to have provided more background information. Mayor Adams noted that the Volume 58 - Page 718 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 12, 2000 INDEX proposed extension has been on the County Master Plan of Arterial Highways for over 25 years, which means that traffic planning and regional modeling have been based on the assumption that the extension will be built. He stated that he understands the issues related to Newport Beach, but he also feels that the County planners have determined that the extension is necessary. City Manager Bludau stated that he didn't feel that the item was time sensitive. He suggested that the item be continued to the City Council meeting of January 9, 2001. Mayor Adams suggested that the item not be placed on the Consent Calendar when it is brought back. Motion by Council Member Proctor to continue the item to the City Council meeting of January 9, 2001 and modify the language in the resolution to better clarify that the City Council is only approving the commencement of the discussions of the agreement. Mayor Adams suggested that staff might want to prepare two resolutions, one supporting it with the City's concerns included and one opposing it. City Manager Bludau further suggested that the item could come back before the City Council at a Study Session, instead of a Regular Meeting, and could include reports from OCTA and the franchisee. Council Member Bromberg asked if the proposed resolution was approved and an EIR were produced, if the City would be under any obligation to support the EIR. City Manager Bludau stated that the City would be under no obligation by adopting the resolution. He stated that it only expresses a desire, which can change at any time. Council Member Glover asked if the proposed resolution was approved and an EIR were produced, if the City would be a part of the EIR as an agency that supported the concept. City Attorney Burnham stated that it could be included in an appendix, but he agreed with the City Manager that supporting the project conceptually in a resolution would not be legally binding. Substitute Motion by Mayor Pro Tern Ridgeway to table the item. Council Member O'Neil stated that the resolution is not necessary or binding, he doesn't know enough about it and its about an issue that the City has no jurisdiction over. The substitute motion carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Ridgeway, Glover, Bromberg, O'Neil, Heffernan, Mayor Adams Noes: Proctor Abstain: None Absent: None Volume 53 - Page 719 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 12, 2000 i INDEX! 18.

He stated that the issue with the solid concrete retaining wall on Bristol Street is that it has the potential for being the primary retaining wall for a secondary bridge (tunnel) for the extension of the runway over the 73 Freeway. He stated that CalTrans did not invite the cities of Costa Mesa or Newport, or Santa Ana Heights into any of the discussions pertaining to the retaining wall. Secondly, Mr. Niewiarowski stated that there is the potential to implement a better plan for El Toro, which would mitigate several of its problems. He stated that the V -Plan has the potential to build back support and is ready to be implemented. Jim Auster, 20401 Bayview Avenue, stated that he is representing the Back Bay Access Coalition and they are asking the City Council to look into the issue of a trail closure leading to the Back Bay. He stated that he had previously sent information to the City Council and that the issue involves the Brockman property, which was annexed by the City. He stated that the trail easement from Mesa Drive to Back Bay Regional Park is a public access easement to the park. He stated that Ms. Brockman closed the trail with no legal basis. He asked that the City Council have the gates removed and protect the easement from any future closures. Volume 53 - Page 720 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 12, 2000 Mayor Adams stated City Attorney's office jurisdiction. hat the letter from Mr. has been asked to look Water was received and the into the issue of the City's Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway stated that liability by Ms. Brockman is also an issue. He suggested that Santa Ana Heights might want to consider providing her with some type of insurance. Margaret Butt, South Laguna, stated that she has been violated. She stated that people have been breaking and entering into her place and that these people spray her clothes, her food, things in her closet and her bed. She added that they have stolen some of her items for evidence. She stated that she also has a friend that has been violated for 3 1/2 years. She stated that she has worked with the City of Laguna Beach police, but she would also like to talk to a City of Newport Beach detective. She stated that it is a very serious matter and should be looked into. She stated that it is an evasion of privacy. Jeff Hamilton, Santa Ana Heights, stated that regarding the liability issue with Ms. Brockman, as mentioned earlier in the current meeting, he knew that the 1975 agreement with the State was a no hold harmless agreement. He stated that the County has also approached her for purchase of the property and to go into a no hold harmless agreement for the easement and the access. He encouraged the City Council to look at the gate closure because it has closed off access to the Back Bay area from the west side. Ron Winship, 34 Corsica, stated that the fight regarding El Toro has several realities. He stated that one of the realities is that one of the three supervisors that supports an airport at El Toro will be gone in two years. He encouraged the City to conclude the extension of the John Wayne Airport settlement agreement prior to that time and while the City still has the votes. Mr. Winship stated that the City should not plan to force an airport on the residents of South County. He stated that, instead, the City should ask the residents of South County to assist Newport Beach. He stated that this has caused a perception problem and suggested that the City start a strong public relations campaign. Jim Hildreth, 120 The Grand Canal, stated that he will be asking the City Council to resolve a safety issue. He stated that he is in the process of putting together some proposals that may alleviate the problem. PUBLIC HEARINGS 26. MARINE AVENUE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ANNUAL RENEWAL FOR 2001 FISCAL YEAR. Associate Planner Trimble stated that an ordinance was introduced at the City Council meeting of November 14, 2000, that dealt with the proposed expansion of the Marine Avenue Business Improvement District (BID) to include businesses in the Agate Avenue and South Bay Front areas and rename the district to the Balboa Island BID. He stated that on November 28, 2000, the City Council approved a Resolution of Intention to Volume 58 - Page 721 N 0 �►'1 Res 2000 -107 Marine Avenue BID (27) City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 12, 2000 levy assessments. INDEX Associate Planner Trimble stated that the City has received 24 protests, with all of them being from the Agate Avenue and South Bay Front areas. He stated that this represents 14% of the overall proposed district and 72% of the expansion area. Council Member Glover asked if the BID area was being increased. Associate Planner Trimble confirmed that the proposed ordinance, if adopted, would do that. Associate Planner Trimble further confirmed that 50°x6 of the assessed value of the businesses in the overall area of a new BID must be in favor of the BID for it to be approved. Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway asked about previous attempts at expansions of the Marine Avenue BID. Associate Planner Trimble stated that there was one previous attempt to expand the BID, four years prior, which included the bayside area as well as the Agate Avenue and South Bay Front areas. He stated that the BID was not approved due to opposition from both areas. Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway confirmed that 72% of the current expansion area is opposing the BID. Associate Planner Trimble stated that a new resolution has been drafted that includes only Marine Avenue. Council Member Bromberg stated that the BID, formed in 1996, was originally limited to Marine Avenue, although there have been efforts to bring in the Agate Avenue and South Bay Front areas. He stated that he understands the businesses in these areas opposing the BID, since a lot of the BID money is spent on bringing people to Balboa Island and most spend their time on Marine Avenue. Council Member Bromberg stated that he wouldn't want to force the BID on the Agate Avenue and South Bay Front businesses. Mayor Adams opened the public hearing. Howard Silver, merchant on Marine Avenue, stated that the BID has been a failure, with no accountability whatsoever. He stated that, since the BID was formed, he has asked for quarterly reports indicating where the money was being spent. He stated that he's only seen two quarterly reports in four years and they have been extremely vague. He stated that one year the BID spent $6,000 to support the parade, which Mr. Silver stated does nothing for the merchants. He stated that he is not opposed to advertising their area as a group, but he stated that the BID is not working. He suggested that accountability be required and voting take place on how the money will be spent. He. additionally suggested that the City provide more assistance in supporting and promoting the businesses on Balboa Island and in Newport Beach. Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway confirmed with Associate Planner Trimble that the City currently matches the funds collected from the BID. Associate Planner Trimble stated that the BID administration costs also come out of the City's contribution. Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway further confirmed that there is a BID Board, elected by the members, which consists of approximately 13 people. Volume 53 - Page 722 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 12, 2000 INDEX Mayor Adams asked what the City's role was in the BID operation. City Attorney Burnham stated that the BID is a privately run organization, but a new court ruling suggests that BID Board meetings do need to be noticed in accordance with the Brown Act. He added that the City does provide some administrative assistance. Assistant City Manager Wood confirmed that the City does provide staff assistance and matches the BID funds, after the consultant who does the administrative work is paid. She stated that the BID's have always followed the provisions of the Brown Act. Mayor Adams asked for staff to comment on Mr. Silver's statements about lack of accountability in the BID. Associate Planner Trimble stated that since the consultant was hired two years prior, statements have been prepared that include checkbook registers of all expenses. Additionally, he stated that minutes are taken at all BID Board meetings and annual reports including proposed activities for the upcoming year are provided to the City Council each year. In response to Mr. Silver's earlier comments about the City assisting the businesses by promoting their areas, Mayor Adams stated that the City already has a Conference & Visitors Bureau, which performs this function and does it quite well. Seymour Beek, 528 South Bay Front, stated that the people on Agate Avenue did not know about the expansion of the BID until the week prior, when they received a notice that was mailed on December 1, 2000. He stated that it wasn't adequate notice and they should have been informed sooner. Council Member O'Neil confirmed with City Attorney Burnham that if the proposed expansion area has 72°x6 opposed to the BID, the City Council could still approve the BID because the overall assessed value of the businesses in the BID support it. Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway stated his disagreement with such an approach. John Douty, owner of a store on South Bay Front, stated that 75°x6 to 80% of his revenue capital comes from the Balboa Island fuel dock. He stated that he does not receive any benefit from the Marine Avenue BID. Mr. Douty stated his opposition to the expansion of the BID. Jim Hildreth, 120 The Grand Canal, mentioned the error regarding the level of assessment as noted in the November 28, 2000, staff report. Additionally, he pointed out that real estate agents, nail technicians and hair stylists are exempt from the being assessed. Mr. Hildreth stated that he discussed the BID with the businesses on Marine Avenue and they feel that the Agate Avenue and South Bay Front areas do not need to be included. Hearing no further testimony, Mayor Adams closed the public hearing. Council Member Bromberg stated his disagreement with Mr. Silver's comments about the function and success of the BID. Volume 53 - Page 723 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 12, 2000 INDEX, Motion by Council Member Bromberg to decline the name change and expansion, since protests from the expanded area represented 50 percent or more of the expanded area; and to adopt Resolution No. 2000 -107, confirming the levying of assessments for the Fiscal Year of January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001, since protests within the current boundaries represented less than 50 percent of the total assessment amount.

GREENLIGHT GUIDELINES WORKING GROUP. Mayor Adams stated that the item has been continued from the City Council meeting of November 28, 2000. He summarized the discussion at that meeting by stating that a working group was discussed, but the consensus appeared to be that a working group was not necessary and, instead, staff could work with concerned citizens to develop the policies that would interpret Measure S. He added that the proposed policies would be made available to the public with adequate time for response. After input was received, the policies would be presented for approval at a City Council meeting. Council Member Glover stated that she supports the idea of the Planning Department identifying their areas of concern, working with the City Attorney and coming back to the City Council with a list of what needs to be interpreted. She stated that this would give the public and the Measure S proponents the opportunity to comment on those items. She stated that a committee may sound like a good idea, but it wouldn't achieve what it might be intended for. Council Member Glover added that the citizens have voted and staff only needs to identify the problem areas in regards to Volume 53 - Page 725 INDEX Use Permit 3685 Site Plan Review 79 Variance 1239 Fluter Mixed Use Project 2410 Newport Blvd. (88) Greenlight Guidelines Working Group (24) City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 12, 2000 implementation. U 15►. Mayor Adams clarified that the staff report presented at the current meeting was merely a copy of the staff report presented at the City Council meeting of November 28, 2000, and not a new report. Council Member Heffernan stated that he spoke with Allan Beek, the author of the measure, and Mr. Beek had already narrowed down the areas that require interpretation. Council Member Heffernan stated that he suggested to Mr. Beek that he present an outline of those areas to City staff, so that staff could prepare the City's response to those items and bring it to the City Council for public discussion. Council Member Heffernan did not support the committee approach and stated that he would rather move forward and respond to the voters quickly. Evelyn Hart, 49 Balboa Coves, Greenlight proponent, stated that she supports the Mayor's proposal and stated that the Greenlight proponents are available to assist in any way needed. Nancy Skinner, 1724 Highland Drive, stated that she also supports the Mayor's suggestion and that it is important for the Planning Department staff to determine what is needed and let the public comment. Allan Beek stated his concurrence with the comments of Council Member Glover. Council Member Glover stated that she was prepared to make a motion incorporating her previous comments. She asked the City Manager to explain what staffs approach would be. City Manager Bludau stated that staff would get together to decide on the areas that require interpretation and make recommendations regarding implementation. He stated that it would be agendized for the City Council meeting of January 9, 2001, to receive public input. Council Member Glover asked if staff could be ready with recommendations by January 9th, or just identification of the areas that require interpretation. City Manager Bludau stated that staff could be prepared to do both. Mayor Adams stated that many people are interested in the item and he would suggest that staffs written recommendations be posted on the website and distributed to interested parties prior to discussion at a City Council meeting. He asked if staff would have enough time to do this. City Manager Bludau stated that possibly the item should be agendized as a discussion item only on January 9+h and scheduled for action at the City Council meeting of January 23, 2001. City Attorney Burnham stated that another alternative would be to draft the recommendations, post them on the City's website, hold a town hall type meeting to discuss the recommendations and receive input, and agendize the item for action on January 23rd. Mayor Adams suggested that the item be agendized for the Study Session of January 9th for discussion and scheduled for action at the City Council's Volume 53 - Page 726 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes December 12, 2000 Qoo] Regular Meeting of January 23rd. Council Member Bromberg suggested that as many public hearings as necessary be scheduled. Council Member Proctor asked if staff had already identified the issues. City Manager Bludau stated that the issues include definitions of "floor area" and "peak hour trips" and the look back provision over the ten -year period. Council Member Heffernan asked if there wasn't also an issue with the credit for demolition during a period of redevelopment. City Attorney Burnham stated that Measure S only applies to General Plan Amendments and wouldn't necessarily trigger a voter approval requirement for demolition. Council Member O'Neil asked how many different definitions of "floor area" there were. City Attorney Burnham stated that there are at least two definitions, one being net and one being gross. He stated that they would discuss the issue with the Public Works Director to determine which one links more directly to traffic generation. Council Member O'Neil asked the same question for "peak hour trips ". City Attorney Burnham stated that it could be defined as a combination of the AM and PM peaks, or the highest of the two. Council Member O'Neil asked about the options for the ten -year look back. City Attorney Burnham stated that three possible options include looking back ten years from the date on which the General Plan Amendment was approved by the City Council, the date on which the Notice of Intent to Circulate was published, or the date on which the Secretary of State filed the measure. Council Member O'Neil asked if the issues needed to be clarified because the voters were confused on what they were voting for. City Attorney Burnham stated that clarification needs to be done because the measure and the voters encouraged the City Council to develop guidelines to properly implement the measure. Council Member Bromberg asked for staff to include a definition of the impact of the "vested rights" implementation, as mentioned in Section 4 of the measure. Motion by Council Member Glover to schedule the item for discussion at the Study Session of January 9, 2001, and direct staff to notice a public hearing for the Regular Meeting of January 23, 2001. Council Member Glover confirmed with City Attorney Burnham that the City Council could still provide staff with direction at the Study Session on January 9th.
