HomeMy WebLinkAbout08 - Performance Criteria for Residential Development in the Airport AreaCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Agenda Item No. 8 March 14, 2006 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: City Manager's Office Sharon Wood, Assistant City Manager 949 - 644 -3222, swood @city.newport- beach.ca.us SUBJECT: Amendment to Extend Term of Professional Services Agreement with ROMA Design Group RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize Mayor and City Clerk to execute amendment to agreement. DISCUSSION: The City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with ROMA Design Group to prepare performance criteria for residential development in the Airport Area on April 26, 2005. The Agreement established a termination date of December 31, 2005. ROMA has provided significant assistance to the City in developing policies regarding residential development in the Airport Area in the Land Use Element drafted as part of the General Plan update. Because of the length of the General Plan update process, and the City's need to focus on and resolve General Plan policy issues before engaging ROMA in discussions about specific performance criteria, it has not been possible to complete the work on the originally intended schedule. Staff and EIP Associates, our General Plan consultant, have found ROMA's input extremely valuable in developing the draft Land Use Element, and believe it is important for ROMA to complete their more detailed design and regulatory work. In the event that this work cannot be completed until after voter approval of the General Plan update in November, staff is recommending that the term of the agreement be extended to February 28, 2007.
