RECOMMENDATION

ISSUE
In accordance with Council Policy F -14 (Authority to Contract for Services), the City
Manager shall provide notice of a permit application and a brief description of the
proposed project to the City Council when a contract for professional services is paid for
by funds in an applicant deposit account and the total cost for services exceeds
$100,000.
DISCUSSION
This report is intended to provide notice to the City Council of a contract for professional
services between the City of Newport Beach and Keeton Kreitzer Consulting for the
preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) associated with a Use Permit
application for the proposed Hoag Health Center project located at 500 Superior
Avenue. The existing contract is in the amount of $106,220.00, which was paid for by
the project applicant (Newport Beach Healthcare Center, LLC); however, the scope of
work has been expanded to include additional analysis required to evaluate potential
impacts associated with project alternatives and to account for additional meetings and
project coordination. The estimated budget to complete this additional analysis is
$6,600, resulting in a total contract amount of $112,820.00. The applicant has been
notified of the amended contract amount and has agreed to fund the amount.

The project involves amending Use Permit No. 2006 -010 to allow the full conversion of
the existing site, currently entitled for a mix of general office, medical office and
research & development use, solely to medical office use. The request also includes the
construction of an additional 20,586 square feet of floor area, for a total of 350,000
square feet of medical gross floor area. Additionally, approval of a Traffic Study is being
requested pursuant to the City of Newport Beach Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO).
The Draft EIR has been prepared to evaluate potential environmental impacts
associated with the proposal and circulated for public review. The public comment
period ends on October 25, 2007 and a Planning Commission hearing is tentatively
scheduled for November 15, 2007 to review and consider the final EIR document, prior
to project approval.
