WHEREAS, the applicant proposes an amendment to the North Newport Center Planned Community (PC -56) to incorporate in its entirety the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community (PC -23). The applicant also proposes a code amendment to change the Zoning designation of the subject property from PC -23 to PC -56, and the PC -23 Development Plan would be rescinded. The proposed project also includes a revision to a sign standard within the PC -56 Development Plan regarding landscape wall signs, a revision to lighting standards, and an update to the development limits to reflect previously approved transfers of development rights. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach, California held a duly noticed public hearing on the application on April 7, 2011, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. The Planning Commission considered evidence, both written and oral, at this meeting. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendment to the City Council with minor changes to Section II — B (Development Limits) to update the Table 2 for consistency with all previously approved transfers of development rights. WHEREAS, the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission held a meeting on April 21, 2011, and voted unanimously to find the proposed amendment consistent with the Airport Environs Land Use Plan for John Wayne Airport. WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on May 10, 2011, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the City Council at this meeting. WHEREAS, the subject property is designated as Regional Commercial Office (CO -R) in the Land Use Element of the General Plan and is located within the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community (PC -23) Zoning District. IN City Council Ordinance No. 2011 -16 Page 2 of 4 WHEREAS, the subject property is not located within the coastal zone. WHEREAS, this action is covered by the general rule that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies only.to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment (Section 15061.b.3 of the CEQA Guidelines). It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this activity will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, this activity is not subject to CEQA. Specifically: The proposed project incorporates the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community into the North Newport Center Planned Community with only minor changes to development standards and allowed uses. This action will not increase the allowable development intensity. No construction is proposed with this application. In Muzzy Ranch v. Solano County Airport Land Use Commission (2007) 41 CalAth 372, 389, the California Supreme Court held that the CEQA common sense exemption applied to the approval of a land use compatibility plan that merely extended existing land use restrictions to a greater geographical area. WHEREAS, the City Council finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA determinations and approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In addition, project opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As project applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that such applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial challenge, and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which may be awarded to a successful challenger. Therefore, to the fullest extent permitted by law, applicant and property owner shall defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the City, its City Council, its boards and commissions, officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorney's fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever which may arise from or in any manner relate (directly or indirectly) to the project, the project's approval based on the City's CEQA determination and /or the City's failure to comply with the requirements of any federal, state, or local laws, including, but not limited to, CEQA, General Plan and zoning requirements. This indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, damages awarded against the City, if any, costs of suit, attorneys' fees, and other expenses incurred in connection with such claim, action, or proceeding whether incurred by applicant, City, and /or the parties initiating or bringing such proceeding. WHEREAS, the City Council finds that: The Planned Community Development Plan recommended text changes, is consistent with an d Element of the General Plan as the proposed consistent with the Regional Commercial Office Tmplt: 04/14/10 Amendment, with the implements the Land Use land use regulations are (CO -R) land use category El City Council Ordinance No. 2011 -16 Page 3 of 4 designated on the subject property. The CO -R land use category is intended to provide for administrative and professional offices that serve local and regional markets, with limited accessory retail, financial, service, and entertainment uses. The allowed uses in PC -56 Block 800 Commercial Office are primarily office uses. The amendment would not substantially change the range of allowed land uses and no increase in development intensity would occur. 2. The Planned Community Development Plan Amendment, with the recommended text changes, is consistent with Chapter 20.56 of the Municipal Code (Planned Community District Procedures), which establishes the requirements of a Planned Community Development Plan. 3. The Planned Community Development Plan Amendment, with the recommended text changes, will not increase the intensity or density of allowed land uses or change the types of allowable uses in the subject portion of Block 800 or the entirety of the North Newport Center Planned Community, 4. The subject portion of Block 800 is fully developed and the applicant does not seek any further entitlements through this Planned Community Development Plan Amendment or Code Amendment. 5. The proposed development standards, including the revised sign standard regarding landscape wall signs, revised lighting standards, and update to the development limits to reflect previously approved transfers of development rights, are adequate and appropriate for use and development of Block 800 and would not be detrimental to the Newport Center environs.

Introduction and Purpose of Development Plan I. Introduction and Purpose of Development Plan The North Newport Center Planned Community district is comprised of seven sub -areas that include Fashion Island, Block 600 and Block 800 and portions of Block 100, Block 400, Block 500, and San Joaquin Plaza. The sub -areas that comprise North Newport Center shall be governed by the North Newport Center Planned Community ( "PC ") Development Plan set forth herein, which includes land uses, development standards, and administration. The City of Newport Beach Municipal Code allows a Planned Community Development Plan to address land use designations and regulations in Planned Communities. The North Newport Center PC Development Plan serves as the controlling zoning ordinance for the sub -areas identified in the Planned Community Development Plan and is authorized and intended to implement the provisions of the Newport Beach General Plan. A. Sub -Area Purpose Newport Center is a regional center comprised of major retail, professional office, entertainment, recreation, and residential development within the City of Newport Beach. The North Newport Center site comprises approximately 169 acres along San Joaquin Hills Road and Newport Center Drive. The seven sub -areas that make up the site including Fashion Island (75 acres), Block 100 (10 acres), Block 400 (4 acres), Block 500 (15 acres and a 0.4 -acre open space area at the comer of MacArthur Boulevard and San Joaquin Hills Road), Block 600 (25 acres), Block 800 (17 acres), and San Joaquin Plaza (23 acres) are shown on Figure I and are described below. The General Plan identifies the goal of creating a successful Mixed -Use district that integrates economic and commercial centers serving the needs of Newport Beach residents and the sub - region, with expanded opportunities for residential development. Fashion Island is the primary retail hub within Newport Center and is developed with retail, dining, and commercial entertainment uses. Permitted uses for Fashion Island include uses in support of the existing retail, dining, and commercial entertainment uses. Fashion Island is intended to be a vibrant regional retail and entertainment center and a day /evening destination with a wide variety of uses that will serve visitors, residents, and employees of the area. Figure 2, Fashion Island Sub -Area, shows the boundary of Fashion Island. The Commercial Office blocks include Block 100 (Figure 3), Block 400 (Figure 4) and a portion of Block 800 also referred to as Pacific Financial Plaza. Block 1.00 is generally comprised of administrative and professional offices that serve local and regional markets. Other uses permitted in the block include limited accessory retail, financial, service and entertainment uses. Block 400 is generally comprised of commercial office, with medical related offices and retail use. The Pacific Financial Plaza portion of Block 800 is generally comprised of commercial office and restaurant uses. The Mixed -Use blocks include Block 500 (Figure 5), Block 600 (Figure 6), and San Joaquin Plaza (Figure 7). The Mixed -Use blocks are generally composed of administrative, professional, and financial office uses. Block 600 contains hotel and related ancillary uses. This Development Plan allows for the diversification of land uses in order to encourage new and original uses consistent with the Mixed -Use concept as established in the General Plan. Permitted uses for the Mixed -Use blocks include offices, light general commercial, hotel, residential and other mixed uses in accordance with the General Plan MU -H3 land use designation. The residential portion of Block 800 (Figure 8) allows for multi - family residential or senior citizen housing uses. While not categorized as a mixed -use area, Block 800 contains two distinct uses which are not interchangeable. The northern portion of Block 800 is designated for residential use and the southern portion is commercial office. The boundaries of the Mixed -Use blocks included in this Development Plan are shown in Figure 5, Block 500 Sub -Area, Figure 6, Block 600 Sub -Area, and Figure 7, San Joaquin Plaza Sub -Area, respectively.

The Planning Director action is the final action unless appealed in accordance with the Municipal Code. B. Process for New Signs Applications for new signs shall follow the process identified in the Municipal Code. Submittal shall be reviewed for consistency with the Development Plan and Design Regulations. C. Transfer of Development Rights The following procedure shall be used for the transfer of development rights. 1. The project applicant shall submit an application to the Planning Director, which identifies the quantity of entitlement (floor area, hotel rooms, theater seats) to be relocated, and the sending and receiving sites. If the requested transfer includes the conversion of non - residential uses, the application shall also identify the quantity of entitlement, by use category, before and after the transfer. 2. The City Traffic Engineer shall perform a traffic analysis to determine the total number of PM peak hour trips that would be generated by development allowed with and without the transfer. Trip generation rates shall be based on standard trip generation values in the current version of ITE's "Trip Generation," unless the Traffic Engineer determines that other rates are more valid for the uses involved in the transfer. 3. Depending on the location of the sending and receiving sites, the Traffic Engineer may determine that a more detailed traffic analysis is required to determine whether adverse traffic impacts will result from the transfer. This analysis shall demonstrate whether allowed development, with and without the transfer, would either cause or make worse an unsatisfactory level of service at any primary intersections for which there is no feasible mitigation. This analysis shall be consistent with the definitions and procedures contained in the Traffic Phasing Ordinance of the Municipal Code, except that "unsatisfactory level of service" shall be as specified in the General Plan. 4. If the transfer request involves the conversion of uses, the Planning Director shall perform a land use intensity analysis to determine the floor area that could be developed with and without the transfer. For purposes of this analysis, theater use shat) be allocated 16.1765 square feet per seat. Hotel use shall be allocated the number of square feet per room at which it is included in the General Plan. When the General Plan does not specify intensity for hotel rooms, it shall be as determined by the Planning Director.

Applications for transfer of development rights shall be considered by the City Council as a ministerial action. The City Council shall approve a transfer of development rights if it finds that the transfer will result in no more trips and no greater intensity of land use than the development allowed without the transfer. In addition, if the traffic study in Subsection c. is required, the City Council shall approve the transfer if it results in no greater traffic impact than the development allowed without the transfer.

Introduction A. Purpose of Design Regulations The Design Regulations expand upon the regulations set forth in the Planned Community Development Plan. The Design Regulations are intended to be used for reference by the City of Newport Beach as part of the plan review process. It is recognized that North Newport Center will be built and redeveloped over time and that not all regulations may be achieved nor are applicable for any given project. All new commercial and residential development shall be subject to the North Newport Center Design Regulations. Review for compliance of projects under this section shall occur through the plan review process, as defined in the Development Plan, prior to building permit issuance. B. Newport Center Design Framework Newport Center is a 600 -acre master planned area. Development within Newport Center began in the 1960s and generally has followed the following guiding principles: 1. Strong physical urban design framework which provides structure and character yet allows flexibility 2. Synergistic mix of land uses, market driven to insure economic vitality 3. Balanced and dispersed auto access 4. Organized in "blocks" and districts to break down scale and provide identity 5. Pedestrian Orientation 6. Building massing that responds to topography, with taller buildings located along San Joaquin Hills Road 7. Unifying architectural and landscape character Aerial view of bluff (circa 1960) North Newport Center Design Regulations 4/26/11 57 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations Early Newport Center Planning Diagrams and Sketches (circa 1960) c�r i w S The design regulations provide standards that govern future development so that, to the extent feasible, the initial design framework is carried forward and the design and development policies from the Land Use Element of the General Plan are implemented. North Newport Center Design Regulations 4/26/11 52 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations General Plan Policies Newport Center The following policies from the Land Use Element are for Newport Center as a whole. Development within North Newport Center should contribute toward the policies whenever possible. Development Scale. Reinforce the original design concept for Newport Center by concentrating the greatest building mass and height in the northeasterly section along San Joaquin Hills Road, where the natural topography is highest and progressively scaling down building mass and height to follow the lower elevations toward the southwesterly edge along East Coast Highway. o Urban Form: Encourage that some new development be located and designed to orient to the inner side of Newport Center Drive, establishing physical and visual continuity that diminishes the dominance of surface parking lots and encourages pedestrian activity. e Pedestrian Connectivity and Amenity: Encourage that pedestrian access and uses within the district be improved with additional walkways and streetscape amenities concurrent with the development of expanded and new uses. o Fashion Island Architecture and Streetscape: Encourage that new development in Fashion Island complement and be of equivalent or higher design quality than existing buildings. Reinforce the existing promenades by encouraging retail expansion that enhances the storefront visibility to the promenades and provides an enjoyable retail and pedestrian experience. Additionally, new buildings shall be located on axes connecting Newport Center Drive with existing building to provide visual and physical connectivity with adjoining uses, where practical. Mixed -Use District and Neighborhood The following policies from the Land Use Element are City -wide in orientation. Development within North Newport Center should contribute toward the policies whenever possible. Mixed -Use Buildings: Require that Mixed -Use buildings be designed to convey a high level of architectural and landscape quality and ensure compatibility among their uses in consideration of the following principles: - Design and incorporation of building materials and features to avoid conflicts among uses, such as noise, vibration, lighting, odors, and similar impacts - Visual and physical integration of residential and non- residential uses - Architectural treatment of building elevation and modulation of their massing - Separate and well - defined entries for residential units and non - residential businesses - Design of parking areas and facilities. for architectural consistency and integration among uses - Incorporation of extensive landscape appropriate to its location; urbanized streetscapes, for example, would require less landscape along the street North Newport Center Design Regulations 4126111 159 41 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations frontages but integrate landscape into interior courtyards and common open spaces o M-red -Use Building Location and Size of Non - Residential Uses: Require that 100 percent of the ground floor street frontage of Mixed-Use buildings be occupied by retail and other compatible non - residential uses, unless specified othenvise by policies for a district or corridor. e Parcels Integrating Residential and Non- Residential Uses: Require that properties developed with a mix of residential and non - residential uses be designed to achieve high levels of architectural quality in accordance with policies related to the character and quality of multi - family residential and the architecture and site design of commercial districts, be planned to assure compatibility among the uses, and provide adequate circulation and parking. Residential uses should be seamlessly integrated with non- residential uses through architecture, pedestrian walkways, and landscape. They should not be completely isolated by walls or other design elements. G Districts Integrating Residential and Non - Residential Uses: Require that sufficient acreaee be developed for an individual use located in a district containing a mix of residential and non - residential uses to prevent fragmentarion and assure each use's viability, quality, and compatibility with adjoining uses. Aerial of Newport Center - 2007 C. North Newport Center North Newport Center consists of properties on the higher elevations of Newport Center between San Joaquin Hills Road and the Newport Center ring road (Blocks 400, 500, 600 and 800 and San Joaquin Plaza), as well as the core of Newport Center, Fashion Island, and Block 100. North Newport Center Design Regulations 4 4/26/11 WO, Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations To the northeast is San Joaquin Hills Road, a wide boulevard on the ridge that forms the upper edge of Newport Center. To the south and southeast are office buildings, movie theaters, restaurants, service retail, the Newport Transportation Center, the Newport Beach Central Library, and Corona del Mar Plaza, a community retail center. Adjacent uses within Newport Center are office buildings, an apartment community, a resort hotel, art museum, police station, fire station, auto dealership, service station, and the Newport Beach County Club. North Newport Center is a mixed -use district that features an open -air regional shopping center, Fashion Island; a resort hotel; and a variety of office buildings that help form the skyline of Newport Beach; connected by a network of tree -lined streets and sidewalks, within a master planned environment featuring a consistent landscape.

Design Regulations Using these Regulations These regulations are intended to be used in conjunction with other applicable codes, documents, and ordinances to assess compliance of proposed projects. Each category of regulations begins with the intent, which describes the overall character that is envisioned and what objectives are necessary to attain the desired effect. A. Building Location and Massing Intent The intent of the building massing and location standards is to ensure that new development has an appropriate scale, is related to its use and location, and is properly integrated with adjoining land uses and features. 1. Site Planning Elements a. New commercial and residential buildings should respect the existing urban form, which generally consists of buildings that are organized orthogonally to create pedestrian- friendly courtyards and promenades that visually link the buildings into clusters, as seen in the diagrams below. Pedestrian promenade at Fashion Island North Newport Center Design Regulations 4/26/11 3' a4t.� e 9w5� S n F Pedestrian courtyard at 550 Newport Center Drive Building interface at San Joaquin Plaza 03 7 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations b. In Mixed -Use sub - areas, the development of a complex of buildings is preferable to a single large structure because the varied massing provides visual interest and a human scale. Additionally, the spaces created between the various buildings provide opportunities for pedestrian plazas, courtyards and other outdoor gathering areas. c. New buildings should be oriented to and have features which reinforce and enhance the existing pedestrian experience. Mixed -Use sub -areas should emphasize pedestrian orientation by utilizing features such as plazas, courtyards, interior walkways, trellises, seating, fountains and other similar elements. d. New retail buildings should be located to enhance tenant visibility and identity, while maintaining compatible relationships with adjacent structures and street frontages. e. New buildings should be arranged to provide convenient access to entrances and efficient on -site circulation for vehicles and pedestrians. Projects should develop a comprehensive open space network that uses plazas and other open space elements to connect uses. Open space areas and the paths that link them should facilitate the integration of adjacent land uses on the site. f New buildings with a strong street presence are encouraged in Fashion Island. g. Residential development shall provide common outdoor open space 'areas for residents. These areas should be configured and designed so as to address privacy for residential uses while also providing linkages to the public open space components of the project. h. Planning and developing shared facilities such as driveways, parking areas, pedestrian plazas and walkways, with adjoining properties, including those outside of the North Newport Center Development Plan, is strongly encouraged. Example of resident open space Example of office courtyard North Newport Center Design Regulations 8 4/26/11 r Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations 2. Building Envelope a. New buildings should respect the existing development scale; which generally consists of high -rise buildings (]0= stories) clustered along the northerly section at the highest point in Newport Center. Mid -rise office buildings (5 -10 stories), low - rise office buildings, and retail development are generally located at lower elevations towards Pacific Coast Highway. 3. Building Character and Style a. The character and style of new buildings located in Fashion Island should be compatible with the classically inspired architecture of the existing buildings in Fashion Island. The character and style of new commercial and residential buildings located in the mixed -use sub -areas should be compatible with the existing contemporary architecture or the classically inspired architecture of the existing buildings. b. New buildings within Fashion Island should continue and enhance the existing pedestrian experience by promoting storefront visibility. C. New buildings should reflect a timeless architecture with straightforward geometry, a unified composition, the expression of floor levels and structure, and solid parapets. Trendy, short- lived, idiosyncratic architectural styles are not appropriate; although retail storefronts may reflect the design theme of the merchant. d. The top of all roof-mounted equipment and communications devices should be below the building parapet or equipment screens in a manner that hides them from the street. The height of rooftop appurtenances shall not exceed the height of the screening. e. Ground level equipment, refuse collection areas, storage tanks and infrastructure equipment should be screened from public right -of -ways views with dense landscaping and/or walls of materials and finishes compatible with adjacent buildings. f Above grade equipment, including backflow pieventers at domestic water meters, irrigation controllers, and cable television pedestals should not be visible from public right-of-ways, when feasible. g. Chain link fencing is not allowed, except to screen construction areas. It. Avoid long, continuous blank walls, by incorporating a variety of materials and design treatments and/or modulating and articulating elevations to promote visual interest. i. Architectural features should accomplish the architectural goal of extending the design elements of the building. j. New buildings on sites with sloping surfaces should be encouraged to utilize the existing terrain. Entrances to motor courts and parking structures are not included in the measurement of building height.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE NORTH NEWPORT CENTER PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN (PD2011 -001) AND A CODE AMENDMENT (CA2011 -004) TO CHANGE THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION FROM PC -23 TO PC -56 FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 800, 840, 860, AND 880 NEWPORT CENTER DRIVE (PA2011 -017) WHEREAS, an application was filed by Irvine Company, with respect to property located at 800, 840, 860, and 880 Newport Center Drive and legally described as Parcel 1 of Resubdivision 0612 requesting approval of a Planned Community Development Plan Amendment and a Zoning Code Amendment. WHEREAS, the applicant proposes an amendment to the North Newport Center Planned Community (PC -56) to incorporate in its entirety the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community (PC -23). The applicant also proposes a code amendment to change the Zoning designation of the subject property from PC -23 to PC -56, and the PC -23 Development Plan would be rescinded. The proposed project also includes a revision to a sign standard within the PC -56 Development Plan regarding landscape wall signs, a revision to lighting standards, and an update to the development limits to reflect previously approved transfers of development rights. . WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach, California held a duly noticed public hearing on the application on April 7, 2011, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. The Planning Commission considered evidence, both written and oral, at this meeting. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendment to the City Council with minor changes to Section II — B (Development Limits) to update the Table 2 for consistency with all previously approved transfers of development rights. WHEREAS, the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission held a meeting on April 21, 2011, and voted unanimously to find the proposed amendment consistent with the Airport Environs Land Use Plan for John Wayne Airport. WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on May 10, 2011, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the City Council at this meeting. WHEREAS, the subject property is designated as Regional Commercial Office (CO -R) in the Land Use Element of the General Plan and is located within the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community (PC -23) Zoning District. 11 WHEREAS, the subject property is not located within the coastal zone. WHEREAS, this action is covered by the general rule that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment (Section 15061.b.3 of the CEQA Guidelines). It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this activity will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, this activity is not subject to CEQA. Specifically: The proposed project incorporates the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community into the North Newport Center Planned Community with only minor changes to development standards and allowed uses. This action will not increase the allowable development intensity. No construction is proposed with this application. 2. In Muzzy Ranch v. Solano County Airport Land Use Commission (2007) 41 Cal.4th 372, 389, the California Supreme Court held that the CEQA common sense exemption applied to the approval of a land use compatibility plan that merely extended existing land use restrictions to a greater geographical area. WHEREAS, the City Council finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA determinations and approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In addition, project opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As project applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that such applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial challenge, and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which may be awarded to a successful challenger. Therefore, to the fullest extent permitted by law, applicant and property owner shall defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the City, its City Council, its boards and commissions, officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorney's fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever which may arise from or in any manner relate (directly or indirectly) to the project, the project's approval based on the City's CEQA determination and /or the City's failure to comply with the requirements of any federal, state, or local laws, including, but not limited to, CEQA, General Plan and zoning requirements. This indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, damages awarded against the City, if any, costs of suit, attorneys' fees, and other expenses incurred in connection with such claim, action, or proceeding whether incurred by applicant, City, and /or the parties initiating or bringing such proceeding. WHEREAS, the City Council finds that: The Planned Community Development Plan Amendment, with the recommended text changes, is consistent with and implements the Land Use Element of the General Plan as the proposed land use regulations are consistent with the Regional Commercial Office (CO -R) land use category 12 designated on the subject property. The CO -R land use category is intended to provide for administrative and professional offices that serve local and regional markets, with limited accessory retail, financial, service, and entertainment uses. The allowed uses in PC -56 Block 800 Commercial Office are primarily office uses. The amendment would not substantially change the range of allowed land uses and no increase in development intensity would occur. 2. The Planned Community Development Plan Amendment, with the recommended text changes, is consistent with Chapter 20.56 of the Municipal Code (Planned Community District Procedures), which establishes the requirements of a Planned Community Development Plan. 3. The Planned Community Development Plan Amendment, with the recommended text changes, will not increase the intensity or density of allowed land uses or change the types of allowable uses in the subject portion of Block 800 or the entirety of the North Newport Center Planned Community. 4. The subject portion of Block 800 is fully developed and the applicant does not seek any further entitlements through this Planned Community Development Plan Amendment or Code Amendment, 5. The proposed development standards, including the revised sign standard regarding landscape wall signs, revised lighting standards, and update to the development limits to reflect previously approved transfers of development rights, are adequate and appropriate for use and development of Block 800 and would not be detrimental to the Newport Center environs. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Newport Beach approves Planned Community Development Plan Amendment No. PD2011 -001 and Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2011 -004 (PA2011 -017). SECTION 2: The Block 800 PC -23 Planned Community Development Plan shall be repealed. SECTION 3: The Zoning Map shall be amended as provided in Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference herein, to incorporate Block 800 Commercial Office, legally described as Parcel 1 of Resubdivision 0612:, into the North Newport Center Planned Community. SECTION 4: The North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan and Design Regulations shall be amended as provided in Exhibit B, which is incorporated by reference herein. 13 SECTION 5: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance, and each section, subsection, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses and phrases be declared unconstitutional. SECTION 6: This action shall become final and effective thirty days after the adoption of this Ordinance. SECTION 7: The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall attest to the passage of this ordinance.

Introduction and Purpose of Development Plan I. Introduction and Purpose of Development Plan The North Newport Center Planned Community district is comprised of seven sub -areas that include Fashion Island, Block 600 and Block 800 and portions of Block 100, Block 400, Block 500, and San Joaquin Plaza. The sub -areas that comprise North Newport Center shall be governed by the North Newport Center Planned Community ( "PC ") Development Plan set forth herein, which includes land uses, development standards, and administration. The City of Newport Beach Municipal Code allows a Planned Community Development Plan to address land use designations and regulations in Planned Communities. The North Newport Center PC Development Plan serves as the controlling zoning ordinance for the sub -areas identified in the Planned Community Development Plan and is authorized and intended to implement the provisions of the Newport Beach General Plan. A. Sub -Area Purpose Newport Center is a regional center comprised of major retail, professional office, entertainment, recreation, and residential development within the City of Newport Beach. The North Newport Center site comprises approximately 169 acres along San Joaquin Hills Road and Newport Center Drive. The seven sub -areas that make up the site including Fashion Island (75 acres), Block 100 (10 acres), Block 400 (4 acres), Block 500 (15 acres and a 0.4 -acre open space area at the corner of MacArthur Boulevard and San Joaquin Hills Road), Block 600 (25 acres), Block 800 (17 acres), and San Joaquin Plaza (23 acres) are shown on Figure I and are described below. The General Plan identifies the goal of creating a successful Mixed -Use district that integrates economic and commercial centers serving the needs of Newport Beach residents and the sub - region, with expanded opportunities for residential development. Fashion Island is the primary retail hub within Newport Center and is developed with retail, dining, and commercial entertainment uses. Permitted uses for Fashion Island include uses in support of the existing retail, dining, and commercial entertainment uses. Fashion Island is intended to be a vibrant regional retail and entertainment center and a day /evening destination with a wide variety of uses that will serve visitors, residents, and employees of the area. Figure 2, Fashion Island Sub -Area, shows the boundary of Fashion Island. The Commercial Office blocks include Block 100 (Figure 3), Block 400 (Figure 4) and a portion of Block 800 also referred to as Pacific Financial Plaza. Block 100 is generally comprised of administrative and professional offices that serve local and regional markets. Other uses permitted in the block include limited accessory retail, financial, service and entertainment uses. Block 400 is generally comprised of commercial office, with medical related offices and retail use. The Pacific Financial Plaza portion of Block 800 is generally comprised of commercial office and restaurant uses. The Mixed -Use blocks include Block 500 (Figure 5), Block 600 (Figure 6), and San Joaquin Plaza (Figure 7). The Mixed -Use blocks are generally composed of administrative, professional, and financial office uses. Block 600 contains hotel and related ancillary uses. This Development Plan allows for the diversification of land uses in order to encourage new and original uses consistent with the Mixed -Use concept as established in the General Plan. Permitted uses for the Mixed -Use blocks include offices, light general commercial, hotel, residential and other mixed uses in accordance with the General Plan MU -H3 land use designation. The residential portion of Block 800 (Figure 8) allows for multi - family residential or senior citizen housing uses. While not categorized as a mixed -use area, Block 800 contains two distinct uses which are not interchangeable. The northern portion of Block 800 is designated for residential use and the southern portion is commercial office. The boundaries of the Mixed -Use blocks included in this Development Plan are shown in Figure 5, Block 500 Sub -Area, Figure 6, Block 600 Sub -Area, and Figure 7, San Joaquin Plaza Sub -Area, respectively.

Planned Community Development Plan Administration A. Process for New Structures 1. Purpose and Intent The purpose of the Plan Review process is to provide for review of development proposals for new structures within the North Newport Center Planned Community district. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, all development proposals shall be subject to a Plan Review by the Planning Director for review to determine compliance with the Planned Community Development Plan and North Newport Center Design Regulations. Signs, tenant improvements, carts, kiosks, temporary structures and uses are exempt from this provision. 2. Submittal Contents Each Plan Review submittal or amendment thereof shall contain sufficient details for a thorough review of the relationships between uses on the site and on adjacent sites consistent with the Development Plan and the Design Regulations. At the discretion of the Planning Director, the requirements for submittal of a Plan Review may be altered from those set forth below when the Director determines that other information will be sufficient to allow a thorough review of the project by the approving authority. Submittals for Plan Review shall include plans that contain the following elements in addition to the City's submittal requirements for plan check: a. Existing Conditions including adjacent structures and proposed improvements In. Floor Plans C. Elevations that clearly demonstrate the architectural theme of each face of all structures, including walls and signs, illustrating the following: 1) All exterior materials 2) All exterior colors 3) Building heights d. Parking management plan (where applicable) e. Preliminary Landscape Plan, illustrating: 1) General location of all plant materials, by common and botanical names 2) Size of plant materials 3) Irrigation concept f.

Open Space Plans for residential projects North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan 25 4/26/11 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Section IV. Planned Community Development Plan Administration 3. Review and Action Submittals shall be reviewed by the Planning Director, and the Planning Director shall approve the project if he /she makes the following findings: a. The proposed use and /or development is consistent with the General Plan. In. The proposed use and /or development is consistent with the North Newport Center PC Development Plan and Design Regulations. The Planning Director shall notify the Planning Commission and City Council if deviations from the height limit are approved. The Planning Director action is the final action unless appealed in accordance with the Municipal Code. B. Process for New Signs Applications for new signs shall follow the process identified in the Municipal Code. Submittal shall be reviewed for consistency with the Development Plan and Design Regulations. C. Transfer of Development Rights The following procedure shall be used for the transfer of development rights. The project applicant shall submit an application to the Planning Director, which identifies the quantity of entitlement (floor area, hotel rooms, theater seats) to be relocated, and the sending and receiving sites. If the requested transfer includes the conversion of non - residential uses, the application shall also identify the quantity of entitlement, by use category, before and after the transfer. 2. The City Traffic Engineer shall perform a traffic analysis to determine the total number of PM peak hour trips that would be generated by development allowed with and without the transfer. Trip generation rates shall be based on standard trip generation values in the current version of ITE's "Trip Generation," unless the Traffic Engineer determines that other rates are more valid for the uses involved in the transfer. 3. Depending on the location of the sending and receiving sites, the Traffic Engineer may determine that a more detailed traffic analysis is required to determine whether adverse traffic impacts will result from the transfer. This analysis shall demonstrate whether allowed development, with and without the transfer, would either cause or make worse an unsatisfactory level of service at any primary intersections for which there is no feasible mitigation. This analysis shall be consistent with the definitions and procedures contained in the Traffic Phasing Ordinance of the Municipal Code, except that "unsatisfactory level of service" shall be as specified in the General Plan. 4. If the transfer request involves the conversion of uses, the Planning Director shall perform a land use intensity analysis to determine the floor area that could be developed with and without the transfer. For purposes of this analysis, theater use shall be allocated 16.1765 square feet per seat. Hotel use shall be allocated the number of square feet per room at which it is included in the General Plan. When the General Plan does not specify intensity for hotel rooms, it shall be as determined by the Planning Director.

Applications for transfer of development rights shall be considered by the City Council as a ministerial action. The City Council shall approve a transfer of development rights if it finds that the transfer will result in no more trips and no greater intensity of land use than the development allowed without the transfer. In addition, if the traffic study in Subsection c. is required, the City Council shall approve the transfer if it results in no greater traffic impact than the development allowed without the transfer.

Introduction A. Purpose of Design Regulations The Design Regulations expand upon the regulations set forth in the Planned Community Development Plan. The Design Regulations are intended to be used for reference by the City of Newport Beach as part of the plan review process. It is recognized that North Newport Center will be built and redeveloped over time and that not all regulations may be achieved nor are applicable for any given project. All new commercial and residential development shall be subject to the North Newport Center Design Regulations. Review for compliance of projects under this section shall occur through the plan review process, as defined in the Development Plan, prior to building permit issuance. B. Newport Center Design Framework Newport Center is a 600 -acre master planned area. Development within Newport Center began in the 1960s and generally has followed the following guiding principles: 1, Strong physical urban design framework which provides structure and character yet allows flexibility 2. Synergistic mix of land uses, market driven to insure economic vitality 3. Balanced and dispersed auto access 4. Organized in "blocks" and districts to break down scale and provide identity 5. Pedestrian Orientation 6. Building massing that responds to topography, with taller buildings located along San Joaquin Hills Road 7. Unifying architectural and landscape character Aerial view of bluff (circa 1960) North Newport Center Design Regulations 4/26/11 03 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations Early Newport Center Planning Diagrams and Sketches (circa 1960) +tom The design regulations provide standards that govern future development so that, to the extent feasible, the initial design framework is carried forward and the design and development policies from the Land Use Element of the General Plan are implemented. North Newport Center Design Regulations 4/26/11 =1 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations General Plan Policies Newport Center The following policies from the Land Use Element are for Newport Center as a whole. Development within North Newport Center should contribute toward the policies whenever possible. • Development Scale: Reinforce the original design concept for Newport Center by concentrating the greatest building mass and height in the northeasterly section along San Joaquin Hills Road, where the natural topography is highest and progressively scaling down building mass and height to follow the lower elevations toward the southwesterly edge along East Coast Highway. • Urban Form: Encourage that some new development be located and designed to orient to the inner side of Newport Center Drive, establishing physical and visual continuity that diminishes the dominance of surface parking lots and encourages pedestrian activity. • Pedestrian Connectivity and Amenity: Encourage that pedestrian access and uses within the district be improved with additional walkways and streetscape amenities concurrent with the development of expanded and new uses. • Fashion Island Architecture and Streetscape: Encourage that new development in Fashion Island complement and be of equivalent or higher design quality than existing buildings. Reinforce the existing promenades by encouraging retail expansion that enhances the storefront visibility to the promenades and provides an enjoyable retail and pedestrian experience. Additionally, new buildings shall be located on axes connecting Newport Center Drive with existing building to provide visual and physical connectivity with adjoining uses, where practical. Mixed -Use District and Neighborhood The following policies from the Land Use Element are City -wide in orientation. Development within North Newport Center should contribute toward the policies whenever possible. • Mixed -Use Buildings: Require that Mixed -Use buildings be designed to convey a high level of architectural and landscape quality and ensure compatibility among their uses in consideration of the following principles: - Design and incorporation of building materials and features to avoid conflicts among uses, such as noise, vibration, lighting, odors, and similar impacts - Visual and physical integration of residential and non - residential uses - Architectural treatment of building elevation and modulation of their massing - Separate and well - defined entries for residential units and non - residential businesses - Design of parking areas and facilities for architectural consistency and integration among uses - Incorporation of extensive landscape appropriate to its location; urbanized streetscapes, for example, would require less landscape along the street North Newport Center Design Regulations 4/26/11 05 3 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations frontages but integrate landscape into interior courtyards and common open spaces • Mixed -Use Building Location and Size of Non - Residential Uses: Require that 100 percent of the ground floor street frontage of Mixed -Use buildings be occupied by retail and other compatible non - residential uses, unless specified otherwise by policies for a district or corridor. • Parcels Integrating Residential and Non - Residential Uses: Require that properties developed with a mix of residential and non - residential uses be designed to achieve high levels of architectural quality in accordance with policies related to the character and quality of multi - family residential and the architecture and site design of commercial districts, be planned to assure compatibility among the uses, and provide adequate circulation and parking. Residential uses should be seamlessly integrated with non - residential uses through architecture, pedestrian walkways, and landscape. They should not be completely isolated by walls or other design elements. • Districts Integrating Residential and Non - Residential Uses: Require that sufficient acreage be developed for an individual use located in a district containing a mix of residential and non- residential uses to prevent fragmentation and assure each use's viability, quality, and compatibility with adjoining uses. Aerial of Newport Center — 2007 C. North Newport Center North Newport Center consists of properties on the higher elevations of Newport Center between San Joaquin Hills Road and the Newport Center ring road (Blocks 400, 500, 600 and 800 and San Joaquin Plaza), as well as the core of Newport Center, Fashion Island, and Block 100. North Newport Center Design Regulations 4 4/26/11 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations To the northeast is San Joaquin Hills Road, a wide boulevard on the ridge that forms the upper edge of Newport Center. To the south and southeast are office buildings, movie theaters, restaurants, service retail, the Newport Transportation Center, the Newport Beach Central Library, and Corona del Mar Plaza, a community retail center. Adjacent uses within Newport Center are office buildings, an apartment community, a resort hotel, art museum, police station, fire station, auto dealership, service station, and the Newport Beach County Club. North Newport Center is a mixed -use district that features an open -air regional shopping center, Fashion Island; a resort hotel; and a variety of office buildings that help form the skyline of Newport Beach; connected by a network of tree -lined streets and sidewalks, within a master planned environment featuring a consistent landscape.

Design Regulations Using these Regulations These regulations are intended to be used in conjunction with other applicable codes, documents, and ordinances to assess compliance of proposed projects. Each category of regulations begins with the intent, which describes the overall character that is envisioned and what objectives are necessary to attain the desired effect. A. Building Location and Massing Intent The intent of the building massing and location standards is to ensure that new development has an appropriate scale, is related to its use and location, and is properly integrated with adjoining land uses and features. 1. Site Planning Elements a. New commercial and residential buildings should respect the existing urban form, which generally consists of buildings that are organized orthogonally to create pedestrian- friendly courtyards and promenades that visually link the buildings into clusters, as seen in the diagrams below. Pedestrian promenade at Fashion Island North Newport Center Design Regulations 4/26/11 Pedestrian courtyard at 550 Newport Center Drive Building interface at San Joaquin Plaza i0 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations b. In Mixed -Use sub - areas, the development of a complex of buildings is preferable to a single large structure because the varied massing provides visual interest and a human scale. Additionally, the spaces created between the various buildings provide opportunities for pedestrian plazas, courtyards and other outdoor gathering areas. C. New buildings should be oriented to and have features which reinforce and enhance the existing pedestrian experience. Mixed -Use sub -areas should emphasize pedestrian orientation by utilizing features such as plazas, courtyards, interior walkways, trellises, seating, fountains and other similar elements. d. New retail buildings should be located to enhance tenant visibility and identity, while maintaining compatible relationships with adjacent structures and street frontages. e. New buildings should be arranged to provide convenient access to entrances and efficient on -site circulation for vehicles and pedestrians. Projects should develop a comprehensive open space network that uses plazas and other open space elements to connect uses. Open space areas and the paths that link them should facilitate the integration of adjacent land uses on the site. f. New buildings with a strong street presence are encouraged in Fashion Island. g. Residential development shall provide common outdoor open space areas for residents. These areas should be configured and designed so as to address privacy for residential uses while also providing linkages to the public open space components of the project. h. Planning and developing shared facilities such as driveways, parking areas, pedestrian plazas and walkways, with adjoining properties, including those outside of the North Newport Center Development Plan, is strongly encouraged. Example of resident open space Example of office courtyard North Newport Center Design Regulations 8 4/26/11 70 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations 2. Building Envelope a. New buildings should respect the existing development scale, which generally consists of high -rise buildings (10+ stories) clustered along the northerly section at the highest point in Newport Center. Mid -rise office buildings (5 -10 stories), low - rise office buildings, and retail development are generally located at lower elevations towards Pacific Coast Highway. 3. Building Character and Style a. The character and style of new buildings located in Fashion Island should be compatible with the classically inspired architecture of the existing buildings in Fashion Island. The character and style of new commercial and residential buildings located in the mixed -use sub -areas should be compatible with the existing contemporary architecture or the classically inspired architecture of the existing buildings. b. New buildings within Fashion Island should continue and enhance the existing pedestrian experience by promoting storefront visibility. C. New buildings should reflect a timeless architecture with straightforward geometry, a unified composition, the expression of floor levels and structure, and solid parapets. Trendy, short- lived, idiosyncratic architectural styles are not appropriate; although retail storefronts may reflect the design theme of the merchant. d. The top of all roof - mounted equipment and communications devices should be below the building parapet or equipment screens in a manner that hides them from the street. The height of rooftop appurtenances shall not exceed the height of the screening. e. Ground level equipment, refuse collection areas, storage tanks and infrastructure equipment should be screened from public right -of -ways views with dense landscaping and/or walls of materials and finishes compatible with adjacent buildings. f Above grade equipment, including backflow preventers at domestic water meters, irrigation controllers, and cable television pedestals should not be visible from public right -of -ways, when feasible. g. Chain link fencing is not allowed, except to screen construction areas. h. Avoid long, continuous blank walls, by incorporating a variety of materials and design treatments and/or modulating and articulating elevations to promote visual interest. i. Architectural features should accomplish the architectural goal of extending the design elements of the building. j.

STATEMENT OF FACTS. 1. An application was filed by Irvine Company, with respect to property located at 800, 840, 860, and 880 Newport Center Drive and legally described as Parcel 1 of Resubdivision 0612 requesting approval of a Planned Community Development Plan Amendment and a Zoning Code Amendment. 2. The applicant proposes an amendment to the North Newport Center Planned Community (PC -56) to incorporate in its entirety the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community (PC -23). The applicant also proposes a code amendment to change the Zoning designation of the subject property from PC -23 to PC -56. The PC- 23 Development Plan would be rescinded if this application is approved. The proposed project also includes a revision to a sign standard within the PC -56 Development Plan regarding landscape wall signs and a revision to lighting standards. 3. The square footage numbers indicated for each block in Table 2 (Development Limits) of the PC -56 Development Plan may not be current or correct due to allowable transfers of development rights under the Development Agreement, General Plan, and PC -56 Development Plan. The square footage numbers cannot and are not being increased by this application as the development limits are regulated by the General Plan. 4. The subject property is located within the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community (PC -23) Zoning District and the General Plan Land Use Element category is Regional Commercial Office (CO -R). 5. The subject property is not located within the coastal zone. 6. A public hearing was held on April 7, 2011, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this meeting. 101 Planning Commission Resolution No. 1838 Page 2 of 3 SECTION 2. FINDINGS. 1. The Planned Community Development Plan Amendment, with the recommended text changes, is consistent with and implements the Land Use Element of the General Plan as the proposed land use regulations are consistent with the Regional Commercial Office (CO -R) land use category designated on the subject property. 2. The Planned Community Development Plan Amendment, with the recommended text changes, is consistent with Chapter 20.56 of the Municipal Code (Planned Community District Procedures), which establishes the requirements of a Planned Community Development Plan. 3. The Planned Community Development Plan Amendment, with the recommended text changes, will not increase the intensity or density of allowed land uses or change the types of allowable uses in the subject portion of Block 800. 4. The subject portion of Block 800 is fully developed and the applicant does not seek any further entitlements through this Planned Community Development Plan Amendment or Code Amendment. 5. The proposed development standards are adequate and appropriate for use and development of Block 800 and would not be detrimental to the Newport Center environs. SECTION 3. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION. This action is covered by the general rule that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment (Section 15061.b.3 of the CEQA Guidelines). It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this activity will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, this activity is not subject to CEQA. 2. The proposed project incorporates the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community into the North Newport Center Planned Community with only minor changes to development standards and allowed uses. This action will not increase the allowable development intensity. No construction is proposed with this application. 3. Muzzy Ranch v. Solano County Airport Land Use Commission (2007) 41 CalAth 372, 389 the California Supreme Court held that the CEQA common sense exemption applied to the approval of a land use compatibility plan that merely extended existing land use restrictions to a greater geographical area. 4. The Planning Commission finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA determinations and approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In addition, project opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As project applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that such applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial Tmpit: 04/14/10 102 Planning Commission Resolution No. 1838 Page 3 of 3 challenge, and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which may be awarded to a successful challenger. Therefore, to the fullest extent permitted by law, applicant and property owner shall defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the City, its City Council, its boards and commissions, officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorney's fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever which may arise from or in any manner relate (directly or indirectly) to the project, the project's approval based on the City's CEQA determination and /or the City's failure to comply with the requirements of any federal, state, or local laws, including, but not limited to, CEQA, General Plan and zoning requirements. This indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, damages awarded against the City, if any, costs of suit, attorneys' fees, and other expenses incurred in connection with such claim, action, or proceeding whether incurred by applicant, City, and /or the parties initiating or bringing such proceeding. SECTION 4. DECISION. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby recommends City Council approval to rescind PC -23, and approval of Planned Community Development Plan Amendment No. PD2011 -001 and Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2011 -004.

Additionally, the proposed amendment includes revisions to the sign and lighting standards within the PC -56 Development Plan. Fern Nueno, Assistant Planner, gave an overview of the staff report with a brief PowerPoint presentation. Also an amendment to page 14 of the North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan which was amended to be consistent with Section IIB, "Table 2 — Development Limits' on page 13, was distributed. Commissioner Hawkins asked if Table 2 was being amended. Ms. Nueno responded that no changes affected the square footage that is permitted by the General Plan and that it reflected transfers of allowed Development previously approved by the City Council and changes incorporating the Pacific Financial property. Commissioner Hawkins asked if that in addition to affecting Block 800, it affected Block 100 and asked if he needed to recuse himself as he has an office within Block 100. Assistant City Attorney, Leonie Page 1 of 5 107 NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES 04/07/2011 no conflict as there is no decision Commissioner Hawkins, referring to Table 2, asked that footnote C be expanded to reflect changes of the previous transfer as well as the transfers related to Block 800. After discussion, the Commission identified and presented the following questions: Referring to Section 1113, "Table 2 — Development Limits' from the North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan, Commissioner Eaton inquired as to where the square footage was applied from Block 100. Ms. Nueno responded that it was transferred to the two other blocks, and that the square footage cannot be built until Block 100 is demolished or made uninhabitable. Commissioner Hawkins recused himself, because as he indicated before, he has an office in Block 100 of PC -56 after Ms. Mulvihill indicated that he might have a conflict of interest after learning more about the specifics of the amendment. Regarding residential units, if the table is transitory, Commissioner Eaton asked why were units which are currently allocated to Block 500 not updated in the "Table 2 — Development Limits." Dan Miller, representing Irvine Company, responded by stating that the transfers were based on positive traffic impact analysis and the units are allowed in any of the Mixed -Use Blocks. Ms. Nueno added that the 430 units could be placed under Block 500 with a footnote remaining under each of the Mixed -Use Blocks to make it consistent with the rest of the changes to 'Table 2 — Development Limits." All were in agreement. In response to a question by Commissioner Eaton regarding what the plans were for Block 100, Mr. Miller replied that the square footage was transferred to Block 600 to allow the construction of a new building. Mr. Miller added that before the Certificate of Occupancy for the new building will be issued, the buildings within Block 100 would be made uninhabitable, unless there was square footage that is left over only then could it be transferred back after approval by the City Council. A clarification was requested by Commissioner Unsworth as it related to "Eating and Drinking Establishments," and if they were to be treated the same as Zoning Code. Ms. Nueno responded by saying that they were not the same definitions and indicated that on page 30 of the North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan the definition was established. Commissioner Unsworth, referencing Section 1113, Table 1 of the North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan, Fashion Island under Eating and Drinking Establishments, asked would the "P" with an asterisk (Minor Use Permit Issued by the Planning Director) apply to eating and drinking establishments that stayed open after 11:00 p.m. Fern Nueno answered that yes in Fashion Island restaurants are permitted by right and with approval of a Minor Use Permit if they are proposing to sell alcohol. In conclusion, the PC Development Plan supersedes the PC Zoning Code if something is addressed within it; otherwise if it is not addressed in the PC Development Plan, then the PC Zoning Code regulations prevail. Commissioner Unsworth received clarification that in Fashion Island, for the sale of alcohol after 11:00 p.m. an Operator's License would be needed, therefore it would apply to Block 100, 400, and 800. Furthermore, it was confirmed that under the Planned Community Development Plan, there is a combination Minor Use Permit with an Operator's License required. It was suggested by Commissioner Unsworth that it be clearly stated that all decisions made by the Planning Director as allowed in the Development Plan be appealable to the Planning Commission then to the City Council.

Additionally, the proposed amendment includes revisions to the sign and lighting standards within the PC -56 Development Plan. RECOMMENDATION 1) Conduct a public hearing; and 2) Adopt Resolution No. _ recommending City Council approval of Planned Community Development Plan Amendment No. PD2011 -001 and Code Amendment No. CA2011 -004 (Attachment No. PC 1). INTRODUCTION Project Setting The North Newport Center Planned Community (PC -56) is located in Newport Center and encompasses a regional center of business and commerce that includes major retail, administrative, medical and professional office, entertainment, recreation, and residential uses. PC -56 currently consists of Fashion Island, a portion of Block 100, a portion of Block 400, a portion of Block 500, Block 600, a portion of San Joaquin Plaza, and a portion of Block 800 (Colony Apartments). The proposed Planned Community Development Plan amendment would incorporate the southerly commercial portion of Block 800 into the North Newport Center Planned Community. Fashion Island (approximately 75 acres), located to the southeast of Block 800 Commercial Office is developed with a regional shopping center consisting of anchor 11S North Newport Center Planned Community Amendment April 7, 2011 Page 2 department stores, retail stores, restaurants, and a cinema. Other blocks within Newport Center are developed with office buildings, hotels, surface parking, parking structures, and landscaped open space.

The applicant also proposes a code amendment to change the Zoning designation of the subject property from PC -23 to PC -56. The PC -23 Development Plan would be rescinded if this application is approved. The proposed project also includes a revision to a sign and a lighting standard within the PC -56 Development Plan regarding landscape wall signs and minimum foot - candle illumination, respectively. The sign standard revision would add a definition of what is considered a landscape wall sign. The lighting revision would change the foot - candle minimum to an average. If approved, Block 800 would have two distinct areas: Block 800 Residential (The Colony that is currently within PC -56) and Block 800 Commercial Office (the subject property that contains Pacific Financial Plaza). No construction or changes in use are proposed with this application. Background On December 18, 2007, the City Council adopted the North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan and Design Regulations. On July 22, 2008, the City Council approved the conversion of 72,000 square feet allocated for the Block 500 City Hall site to general office and the transfer of approximately 24,428 square feet of development rights from Block 600 to Block 500. On August 7, 2008, the Planning Commission found that a traffic study for the proposed development of 96,428 square feet of office space in Block 500 complied with the Traffic Phasing Ordinance. On February 24, 2009, the City Council conducted the first annual review of the North Newport Center Development Agreement and found that Irvine Company had complied in good faith with terms and conditions of the Development Agreement during the review period. On November 24, 2009, the City Council approved the first amendment to the PC -56 Development Plan incorporating properties located in Block 100, Block 400, Block 800, and at the southwest corner of San Joaquin Hills Road and MacArthur Boulevard into the North Newport Center Planned Community (PC -56). On March 23, 2010, the City Council conducted an annual review of the North Newport Center Development Agreement and found that Irvine Company had complied in good faith with terms and conditions of the Development Agreement during the review period. 117 North Newport Center Planned Community Amendment April 7, 2011 Page 5 DISCUSSION Analysis Land use and property development on the subject property are currently regulated by the Planned Community Development Plan for Block 800 Newport Center (PC -23). These regulations have been translated and incorporated into the draft North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan and .Design Regulations (Attachment No. PC 2). The objective is to have no substantial increase in range of allowed land uses and no increase in development intensity. Development Standards The development standards and permitted uses for Block 800 Commercial Office would remain substantially the same with this proposed amendment. The height limit for the subject property would remain at 125 feet. The PC -23 regulations do not establish setback requirements. Instead the development plan limits construction per the previously approved site plan approved with the adoption of the PC -23 Development Plan. The applicant proposes a fifteen (15) foot setback standard from property lines abutting the streets and the interior lot line abutting the residential property, consistent with the PC -56 standards for other blocks. The maximum floor area allowed would not increase and is limited by the General Plan. The permitted uses would remain generally the same with office uses permitted by right and limited commercial uses as accessory or by use permit. The parking requirements would remain unchanged and would be regulated by the Zoning Code. The following table provides a comparison of development and use standards. Comparison Table 11g Block 800 PC -23 North Newport Center PC -56 Height 125' above pad 125' from finished grade Setbacks Per previously approved plan 15' from streets and from residential interior lot line Maximum 286,166 square feet total 286,166 square feet total Floor Area Restaurants are limited to 13,200 gross Restaurants require a Minor Use Permit square footage and 6,000 square feet of net public area Permitted Office, ancillary retail, restaurant/bar with Bank, office, ancillary day care, ancillary Uses Conditional Use Permit, parking lot, car retail, ancillary personal services , and wash the following with a UP /MUP: drive through at bank, public safety facilities, commercial recreation and entertainment, cultural and institutional, day spas, bars and restaurants with alcohol sales, visitor accommodations Parking Per Newport Beach Zonin Code Per Newport Beach Zoning Code 11g North Newport Center Planned Community Amendment April 7, 2011 Page 6 Sign Standards The proposed amendment to the PC -56 Development Plan includes a revision to the sign standards within Table 7, Sign Type D. Sign Type D are signs mounted on landscape walls. The revision adds a definition of the sign type to include ground mounted signs in front of landscaping and landscape walls. Previously, only signs mounted on a landscape wall would fall under this sign type category. This change would allow monument signs located in front of landscaping or landscape walls to be included in this sign type. An example of a landscape wall sign is included as Attachment No. PC 3. Lighting Standards The proposed amendment to the PC -56 Development Plan includes a revision to the lighting standards. The existing standard requires that a minimum 0.5 foot - candle be maintained within certain parking and walkway areas. The proposed revision would require a minimum average 0.5 foot - candle. General Plan The Land Use Element category for the subject portion of Block 800 is Regional Commercial Office (CO -R). The CO -R designation is intended to provide for administrative and professional offices that serve local and regional markets, with limited accessory retail, financial, service, and entertainment uses. The proposed land use regulations for Block 800 Commercial are consistent with this land use designation because business, government, and professional offices are permitted by right and other land uses are either limited to accessory uses or are regulated by use permits. Block 100 and Block 400 are also within the General Plan land use category CO -R, and the proposed permitted land uses for Block 800 Commercial Office are consistent with the permitted land uses for Blocks 100 and 400. The development intensity for Block 800 Commercial Office is limited to 286,166 square feet, which is consistent with Anomaly No. 42 designated within the General Plan for the subject portion of Block 800. Airport Environs Land Use Plan North Newport Center is located within the Planning Area for John Wayne Airport in the Airport Environs Land Use Plan ( AELUP). The Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) has found the City of Newport Beach to be a consistent agency with the AELUP. However, the AELUP requires that zone changes for consistent agencies be referred to the ALUC for a determination prior to City action. The proposed amendments will be forwarded to the ALUC, and a hearing will be scheduled prior to the City Council meeting if the Planning Commission recommends approval of the project. 119 North Newport Center Planned Community Amendment April 7, 2011 Page 7 Summary The proposed amendments are consistent with the General Plan and will facilitate land use administration of future projects within Block 800 Commercial Office and the entirety of the North Newport Center Planned Community. The proposed changes to the development standards and permitted uses are appropriate and will not be detrimental to the community. Alternatives The Planning Commission may recommend approval of a modified project to the City Council or deny the application. If an amendment is denied, no further action is taken, unless appealed to the City Council. Environmental Review This action is covered by the general rule that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment (Section 15061.b.3 of the CEQA Guidelines). It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this activity will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, this activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed project incorporates the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community into the North Newport Center Planned Community with only minor changes to development standards and allowed uses. No construction is proposed with this application. Public Notice Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the property consistent with the Municipal Code. Additionally, the item appeared upon the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the city website.

STATEMENT OF FACTS. An application was filed by Irvine Company, with respect to property located at 800, 840, 860, and 880 Newport Center Drive and legally described as Parcel 1 of Resubdivision 0612 requesting approval of a Planned Community Development Plan Amendment and a Zoning Code Amendment. 2. The applicant proposes an amendment to the North Newport Center Planned Community (PC -56) to incorporate in its entirety the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community (PC -23). The applicant also proposes a code amendment to change the Zoning designation of the subject property from PC -23 to PC -56. The PC- 23 Development Plan would be rescinded if this application is approved. The proposed project also includes a revision to a sign standard within the PC -56 Development Plan regarding landscape wall signs and a revision to lighting standards. The subject property is located within the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community (PC -23) Zoning District and the General Plan Land Use Element category is Regional Commercial Office (CO -R). 4. The subject property is not located within the coastal zone. A public hearing was held on April 7, 2011, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this meeting. SECTION 2. FINDINGS. The Planned Community Development Plan Amendment, with the recommended text changes, is consistent with and implements the Land Use Element of the General Plan as the proposed land use regulations are consistent with the Regional Commercial Office (CO -R) land use category designated on the subject property. 12.3 Planning Commission Resolution No. _ Page 2 of 3 2. The Planned Community Development Plan Amendment, with the recommended text changes, is consistent with Chapter 20.56 of the Municipal Code (Planned Community District Procedures), which establishes the requirements of a Planned Community Development Plan. 3. The Planned Community Development Plan Amendment, with the recommended text changes, will not increase the intensity or density of allowed land uses or change the types of allowable uses in the subject portion of Block 800. 4. The subject portion of Block 800 is fully developed and the applicant does not seek any further entitlements through this Planned Community Development Plan Amendment or Code Amendment. 5. The proposed development standards are adequate and appropriate for use and development of Block 800 and would not be detrimental to the Newport Center environs. SECTION 3. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION. 1. This action is covered by the general rule that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment (Section 15061.b.3 of the CEQA Guidelines). It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this activity will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, this activity is not subject to CEQA. 2. The proposed project incorporates the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community into the North Newport Center Planned Community with only minor changes to development standards and allowed uses. This action will not increase the allowable development intensity. No construction is proposed with this application. 3. Muzzy Ranch v. Solano County Airport Land Use Commission (2007) 41 CalAth 372, 389th California Supreme Court held that the CEQA common sense exemption applied to the approval of a land use compatibility plan that merely extended existing land use restrictions to a greater geographical area. 4. The Planning Commission finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA determinations and approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In addition, project opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As project applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that such applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial challenge, and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which may be awarded to a successful challenger. Therefore, to the fullest extent permitted by law, applicant and property owner shall defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the City, its City Council, its boards and commissions, officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, Tmpll: 04 /14 /10 124 Planning Commission Resolution No. _ Paoe 3 of 3 judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorney's fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever which may arise from or in any manner relate (directly or indirectly) to the project, the project's approval based on the City's CEQA determination and /or the City's failure to comply with the requirements of any federal, state, or local laws, including, but not limited to, CEQA, General Plan and zoning requirements. This indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, damages awarded against the City, if any, costs of suit, attorneys' fees, and other expenses incurred in connection with such claim, action, or proceeding whether incurred by applicant, City, and /or the parties initiating or bringing such proceeding. SECTION 4. DECISION. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby recommends City Council approval to rescind PC -23, and approval of Planned Community Development Plan Amendment No. PD2011 -001 and Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2011 -004.

Introduction and Purpose of Development Plan I. Introduction and Purpose of Development Plan The North Newport Center Planned Community district is comprised of seven sub -areas that include Fashion Island, asd -Block 600 and Block 800 and portions of Block 100, Block 400, Block 500, Bleele 890-and San Joaquin Plaza. The sub -areas that comprise North Newport Center shall be governed by the North Newport Center Planned Community ( "PC ") Development Plan set forth herein, which includes land uses, development standards, and administration. The City of Newport Beach Municipal Code allows a Planned Community Development Plan to address land use designations and regulations in Planned Communities. The North Newport Center PC Development Plan serves as the controlling zoning ordinance for the sub -areas identified in the Planned Community Development Plan and is authorized and intended to implement the provisions of the Newport Beach General Plan. A. Sub -Area Purpose Newport Center is a regional center comprised of major retail, professional office, entertainment, recreation, and residential development within the City of Newport Beach. The North Newport Center site comprises approximately L6944_58 4 acres along San Joaquin Hills Road and Newport Center Drive. The seven sub -areas that make up the site including Fashion Island (75 acres), Block 100 (10 acres), Block 400 (4 acres), Block 500 (15 acres and a 0.4 -acre open space area at the comer of MacArthur Boulevard and San Joaquin Hills Road), Block 600 (25 acres), Block 800 (176 acres), and San Joaquin Plaza (23 acres) are shown on Figure 1 and are described below. The General Plan identifies the goal of creating a successful Mixed -Use district that integrates economic and commercial centers serving the needs of Newport Beach residents and the sub - region, with expanded opportunities for residential development. Fashion Island is the primary retail hub within Newport Center and is developed with retail, dining, and commercial entertainment uses. Permitted uses for Fashion Island include uses in support of the existing retail, dining, and commercial entertainment uses. Fashion Island is intended to be a vibrant regional retail and entertainment center and a day /evening destination with a wide variety of uses that will serve visitors, residents, and employees of the area. Figure 2, Fashion Island Sub -Area, shows the boundary of Fashion Island. The Commercial Office blocks include Block 100 (Figure 3), and -Block 400 (Figure 4) and a portion of Block 800 also referred to as Pacific Financial Plaza. Block 100 is generally comprised of administrative and professional offices that serve local and regional markets. Other uses permitted in the block include limited accessory retail, financial, service and entertainment uses. Block 400 is generally comprised of commercial office, with medical related offices and retail use. The Pacific Financial Plaza portion of Block 800 is generally comprised of commercial office and restaurant uses. The Mixed -Use blocks include Block 500 (Figure 5), Block 600 (Figure 6), and San Joaquin Plaza (Figure 87). The Mixed -Use blocks are generally composed of administrative, professional, and financial office uses. Block 600 contains hotel and related ancillary uses. This Development Plan allows for the diversification of land uses in order to encourage new and original uses consistent with the Mixed -Use concept as established in the General Plan. Permitted uses for the Mixed -Use blocks include offices, light general commercial, hotel, residential and other mixed uses in accordance with the General Plan MU -113 land use designation. The residential portion of Block 800 (Figure 78) allows for multi - family residential or senior citizen housing uses. While not categorized as a mixed -use area, Block 800 contains two distinct uses which are not interchangeable. The northern portion of Block 800 is designated for residential use and the southern portion is commercial office. The boundaries of the Mixed -Use blocks included in this Development Plan are shown in Figure 5, Block 500 Sub -Area, Figure 6, Block 600 Sub -Area, and Figure 87, San Joaquin Plaza Sub -Area, respectively.

Planned Community Development Plan Administration A. Process for New Structures 1. Purpose and Intent The purpose of the Plan Review process is to provide for review of development proposals for new structures within the North Newport Center Planned Community district. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, all development proposals shall be subject to a Plan Review by the Planning Director for review to determine compliance with the Planned Community Development Plan and North Newport Center Design Regulations. Signs, tenant improvements, carts, kiosks, temporary structures and uses are exempt from this provision. 2. Submittal Contents Each Plan Review submittal or amendment thereof shall contain sufficient details for a thorough review of the relationships between uses on the site and on adjacent sites consistent with the Development Plan and the Design Regulations. At the discretion of the Planning Director, the requirements for submittal of a Plan Review may be altered from those set forth below when the Director determines that other information will be sufficient to allow a thorough review of the project by the approving authority. Submittals for Plan Review shall include plans that contain the following elements in addition to the City's submittal requirements for plan check: a. Existing Conditions including adjacent structures and proposed improvements In. Floor Plans C. Elevations that clearly demonstrate the architectural theme of each face of all structures, including walls and signs, illustrating the following: 1) All exterior materials 2) All exterior colors 3) Building heights d. Parking management plan (where applicable) e. Preliminary Landscape Plan, illustrating: 1) General location of all plant materials, by common and botanical names 2) Size of plant materials 3) Irrigation concept f.

Open Space Plans for residential projects North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan 25 3/23/11 157 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Section IV. Planned Community Development Plan Administration 3. Review and Action Submittals shall be reviewed by the Planning Director, and the Planning Director shall approve the project if he /she makes the following findings: a. The proposed use and /or development is consistent with the General Plan. In. The proposed use and /or development is consistent with the North Newport Center PC Development Plan and Design Regulations. The Planning Director shall notify the Planning Commission and City Council if deviations from the height limit are approved. The Planning Director action is the final action unless appealed in accordance with the Municipal Code. B. Process for New Signs Applications for new signs shall follow the process identified in the Municipal Code. Submittal shall be reviewed for consistency with the Development Plan and Design Regulations. C. Transfer of Development Rights The following procedure shall be used for the transfer of development rights. The project applicant shall submit an application to the Planning Director, which identifies the quantity of entitlement (floor area, hotel rooms, theater seats) to be relocated, and the sending and receiving sites. If the requested transfer includes the conversion of non - residential uses, the application shall also identify the quantity of entitlement, by use category, before and after the transfer. 2. The City Traffic Engineer shall perform a traffic analysis to determine the total number of PM peak hour trips that would be generated by development allowed with and without the transfer. Trip generation rates shall be based on standard trip generation values in the current version of ITE's "Trip Generation," unless the Traffic Engineer determines that other rates are more valid for the uses involved in the transfer. 3. Depending on the location of the sending and receiving sites, the Traffic Engineer may determine that a more detailed traffic analysis is required to determine whether adverse traffic impacts will result from the transfer. This analysis shall demonstrate whether allowed development, with and without the transfer, would either cause or make worse an unsatisfactory level of service at any primary intersections for which there is no feasible mitigation. This analysis shall be consistent with the definitions and procedures contained in the Traffic Phasing Ordinance of the Municipal Code, except that "unsatisfactory level of service" shall be as specified in the General Plan. 4. If the transfer request involves the conversion of uses, the Planning Director shall perform a land use intensity analysis to determine the floor area that could be developed with and without the transfer. For purposes of this analysis, theater use shall be allocated 16.17655 square feet per seat. Hotel use shall be allocated the mmnber of square feet per room at which it is included in the General Plan. When the General Plan does not specify intensity for hotel rooms, it shall be as determined by the Planning Director. North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan 26 3/23/11 152 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Section IV. Planned Community Development Plan Administration 5. Applications for transfer of development rights shall be considered by the City Council as a ministerial action. The City Council shall approve a transfer of development rights if it finds that the transfer will result in no more trips and no greater intensity of land use than the development allowed without the transfer. In addition, if the traffic study in Subsection c. is required, the City Council shall approve the transfer if it results in no greater traffic impact than the development allowed without the transfer.

Introduction A. Purpose of Design Regulations The Design Regulations expand upon the regulations set forth in the Planned Community Development Plan. The Design Regulations are intended to be used for reference by the City of Newport Beach as part of the plan review process. It is recognized that North Newport Center will be built and redeveloped over time and that not all regulations may be achieved nor are applicable for any given project. All new commercial and residential development shall be subject to the North Newport Center Design Regulations. Review for compliance of projects under this section shall occur through the plan review process, as defined in the Development Plan, prior to building permit issuance. B. Newport Center Design Framework Newport Center is a 600 -acre master planned area. Development within Newport Center began in the 1960s and generally has followed the following guiding principles: 1, Strong physical urban design framework which provides structure and character yet allows flexibility 2. Synergistic mix of land uses, market driven to insure economic vitality 3. Balanced and dispersed auto access 4. Organized in "blocks" and districts to break down scale and provide identity 5. Pedestrian Orientation 6. Building massing that responds to topography, with taller buildings located along San Joaquin Hills Road 7. Unifying architectural and landscape character Aerial view of bluff (circa 1960) North Newport Center Design Regulations 3/23/11 171 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations Early Newport Center Planning Diagrams and Sketches (circa 1960) The design regulations provide standards that govern future development so that, to the extent feasible, the initial design framework is carried forward and the design and development policies from the Land Use Element of the General Plan are implemented. North Newport Center Design Regulations 3/23/11 !L72 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations General Plan Policies Newport Center The following policies from the Land Use Element are for Newport Center as a whole. Development within North Newport Center should contribute toward the policies whenever possible. • Development Scale: Reinforce the original design concept for Newport Center by concentrating the greatest building mass and height in the northeasterly section along San Joaquin Hills Road, where the natural topography is highest and progressively scaling down building mass and height to follow the lower elevations toward the southwesterly edge along East Coast Highway. • Urban Form: Encourage that some new development be located and designed to orient to the inner side of Newport Center Drive, establishing physical and visual continuity that diminishes the dominance of surface parking lots and encourages pedestrian activity. • Pedestrian Connectivity and Amenity: Encourage that pedestrian access and uses within the district be improved with additional walkways and streetscape amenities concurrent with the development of expanded and new uses. • Fashion Island Architecture and Streetscape: Encourage that new development in Fashion Island complement and be of equivalent or higher design quality than existing buildings. Reinforce the existing promenades by encouraging retail expansion that enhances the storefront visibility to the promenades and provides an enjoyable retail and pedestrian experience. Additionally, new buildings shall be located on axes connecting Newport Center Drive with existing building to provide visual and physical connectivity with adjoining uses, where practical. Mixed -Use District and Neighborhood The following policies from the Land Use Element are City -wide in orientation. Development within North Newport Center should contribute toward the policies whenever possible. • Mixed -Use Buildings: Require that Mixed -Use buildings be designed to convey a high level of architectural and landscape quality and ensure compatibility among their uses in consideration of the following principles: - Design and incorporation of building materials and features to avoid conflicts among uses, such as noise, vibration, lighting, odors, and similar impacts - Visual and physical integration of residential and non - residential uses - Architectural treatment of building elevation and modulation of their massing - Separate and well - defined entries for residential units and non - residential businesses - Design of parking areas and facilities for architectural consistency and integration among uses - Incorporation of extensive landscape appropriate to its location; urbanized streetscapes, for example, would require less landscape along the street North Newport Center Design Regulations 3/23/11 1�3 3 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations frontages but integrate landscape into interior courtyards and common open spaces • Mixed -Use Building Location and Size of Non - Residential Uses: Require that 100 percent of the ground floor street frontage of Mixed -Use buildings be occupied by retail and other compatible non - residential uses, unless specified otherwise by policies for a district or corridor. • Parcels Integrating Residential and Non - Residential Uses: Require that properties developed with a mix of residential and non - residential uses be designed to achieve high levels of architectural quality in accordance with policies related to the character and quality of multi - family residential and the architecture and site design of commercial districts, be planned to assure compatibility among the uses, and provide adequate circulation and parking. Residential uses should be seamlessly integrated with non - residential uses through architecture, pedestrian walkways, and landscape. They should not be completely isolated by walls or other design elements. • Districts Integrating Residential and Non - Residential Uses: Require that sufficient acreage be developed for an individual use located in a district containing a mix of residential and non- residential uses to prevent fragmentation and assure each use's viability, quality, and compatibility with adjoining uses. Aerial of Newport Center — 2007 C. North Newport Center North Newport Center consists of properties on the higher elevations of Newport Center between San Joaquin Hills Road and the Newport Center ring road (Blocks 400, 500, 600 and 800 and San Joaquin Plaza), as well as the core of Newport Center, Fashion Island, and Block 100. North Newport Center Design Regulations 4 3/23/11 174 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations To the northeast is San Joaquin Hills Road, a wide boulevard on the ridge that forms the upper edge of Newport Center. To the south and southeast are office buildings, movie theaters, restaurants, service retail, the Newport Transportation Center, the Newport Beach Central Library, and Corona del Mar Plaza, a community retail center. Adjacent uses within Newport Center are office buildings, an apartment community, a resort hotel, art museum, police station, fire station, auto dealership, service station, and the Newport Beach County Club. North Newport Center is a mixed -use district that features an open -air regional shopping center, Fashion Island; a resort hotel; and a variety of office buildings that help form the skyline of Newport Beach; connected by a network of tree -lined streets and sidewalks, within a master planned environment featuring a consistent landscape. North Newport Center Design Regulations 3/23/11 17 5 5 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations [this page intentionally blank] North Newport Center Design Regulations 3/23/11 170 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations II. Design Regulations Using these Regulations These regulations are intended to be used in conjunction with other applicable codes, documents, and ordinances to assess compliance of proposed projects. Each category of regulations begins with the intent, which describes the overall character that is envisioned and what objectives are necessary to attain the desired effect. A. Building Location and Massing Intent The intent of the building massing and location standards is to ensure that new development has an appropriate scale, is related to its use and location, and is properly integrated with adjoining land uses and features. 1. Site Planning Elements a. New commercial and residential buildings should respect the existing urban form, which generally consists of buildings that are organized orthogonally to create pedestrian- friendly courtyards and promenades that visually link the buildings into clusters, as seen in the diagrams below. Pedestrian promenade at Fashion Island North Newport Center Design Regulations 3/23/11 Pedestrian courtyard at 550 Newport Center Drive Building interface at San Joaquin Plaza 177 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations b. In Mixed -Use sub - areas, the development of a complex of buildings is preferable to a single large structure because the varied massing provides visual interest and a human scale. Additionally, the spaces created between the various buildings provide opportunities for pedestrian plazas, courtyards and other outdoor gathering areas. C. New buildings should be oriented to and have features which reinforce and enhance the existing pedestrian experience. Mixed -Use sub -areas should emphasize pedestrian orientation by utilizing features such as plazas, courtyards, interior walkways, trellises, seating, fountains and other similar elements. d. New retail buildings should be located to enhance tenant visibility and identity, while maintaining compatible relationships with adjacent structures and street frontages. e. New buildings should be arranged to provide convenient access to entrances and efficient on -site circulation for vehicles and pedestrians. Projects should develop a comprehensive open space network that uses plazas and other open space elements to connect uses. Open space areas and the paths that link them should facilitate the integration of adjacent land uses on the site. f. New buildings with a strong street presence are encouraged in Fashion Island. g. Residential development shall provide common outdoor open space areas for residents. These areas should be configured and designed so as to address privacy for residential uses while also providing linkages to the public open space components of the project. h. Planning and developing shared facilities such as driveways, parking areas, pedestrian plazas and walkways, with adjoining properties, including those outside of the North Newport Center Development Plan, is strongly encouraged. Example of resident open space Example of office courtyard North Newport Center Design Regulations 8 3/23/11 172 Land Uses, Development Standards & Procedures Appendix — Design Regulations 2. Building Envelope a. New buildings should respect the existing development scale, which generally consists of high -rise buildings (10+ stories) clustered along the northerly section at the highest point in Newport Center. Mid -rise office buildings (5 -10 stories), low - rise office buildings, and retail development are generally located at lower elevations towards Pacific Coast Highway. 3. Building Character and Style a. The character and style of new buildings located in Fashion Island should be compatible with the classically inspired architecture of the existing buildings in Fashion Island. The character and style of new commercial and residential buildings located in the mixed -use sub -areas should be compatible with the existing contemporary architecture or the classically inspired architecture of the existing buildings. b. New buildings within Fashion Island should continue and enhance the existing pedestrian experience by promoting storefront visibility. C. New buildings should reflect a timeless architecture with straightforward geometry, a unified composition, the expression of floor levels and structure, and solid parapets. Trendy, short- lived, idiosyncratic architectural styles are not appropriate; although retail storefronts may reflect the design theme of the merchant. d. The top of all roof - mounted equipment and communications devices should be below the building parapet or equipment screens in a manner that hides them from the street. The height of rooftop appurtenances shall not exceed the height of the screening. e. Ground level equipment, refuse collection areas, storage tanks and infrastructure equipment should be screened from public right -of -ways views with dense landscaping and/or walls of materials and finishes compatible with adjacent buildings. f Above grade equipment, including backflow preventers at domestic water meters, irrigation controllers, and cable television pedestals should not be visible from public right -of -ways, when feasible. g. Chain link fencing is not allowed, except to screen construction areas. h. Avoid long, continuous blank walls, by incorporating a variety of materials and design treatments and/or modulating and articulating elevations to promote visual interest. i. Architectural features should accomplish the architectural goal of extending the design elements of the building. j.

Airport Land Use Commission Action North Newport Center is located within the Planning Area for John Wayne Airport in the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP). The Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) has found the City of Newport Beach to be a consistent agency with the AELUP. However, the AELUP requires that zone changes for consistent agencies be referred to the ALUC for a determination prior to City action. On April 21, 2011, the ALUC voted unanimously to find the proposed project consistent with the AELUP. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ").

It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this activity will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, this activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed project incorporates the Block 800 Newport Center Planned Community into the North Newport Center Planned Community with only minor changes to development standards and allowed uses. No construction is proposed with this application.
