The applicant requests approval of: a General Plan Amendment and an Amendment of the 1990 Local Coastal Plan Land Use Plan (LCPLUP) to change the land use designations of the 4.25 -acre site from Administrative, Professional & Financial Commercial to Multiple - Family Residential; an Amendment of the 2004 LCPLUP to change the land use designation from Visitor - Serving Commercial (CV -B) to Medium Density Residential C (RM -C); a Zone Change to rezone the subject property from APF to the PC District; adopt a Planned Community Development Plan to establish permitted use and development regulations; consider a waiver of the 10 -acre minimum land area requirement for Planned Community District adoption; a Parcel Map to subdivide the subject property from the hotel development for financing and development purposes; a Tract Map for the condominium ownership (79 residential units); a Traffic Study pursuant to the Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) and a Coastal Residential Development Permit regarding the provision of affordable housing in accordance with the Municipal Code and the General Plan Housing Element. WHEREAS, on November 3, 2005, the Planning Commission held a noticed public hearing in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California at which time the project applications, the Mitigated Negative Declaration and comments received thereon were considered. Notice of time, place and purpose of the public hearing was given in accordance with law and testimony was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at the hearing. With a vote of 6 ayes (one recused), the Planning Commission recommended approval of the above - mentioned applications to the City Council. WHEREAS, the property is located in the Block 900 — Hotel Plaza of the Newport Center (Statistical Area L1) of the Land Use Element and has a land use designation of Administrative, Professional & Financial Commercial (APF) and zoned APF (Administrative, Professional, Financial). WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 20.94 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the City Council held a noticed public hearing on November 22, 2005, which was continued to December 13, 2005 without testimony, to consider the proposed applications and the recommendations of the Planning Commission. Page 2 of 21 WHEREAS, a General Plan Amendment and an Amendment of the 1990 Local Coastal Plan Land Use Plan (LCPLUP) to change the land use designations of the site from Administrative, Professional & Financial Commercial to Multiple - Family Residential is necessary as the proposed residential use is not permitted in the APF designation. A change in land use would result in a 4.25 -acre reduction in land available to be potentially used for office uses consistent with the APF designation. However, within the Newport Center, there is approximately 200 acres designated APF and the two percent (2 %) reduction proposed by the project is not a significant reduction. WHEREAS, the residential condominium project is consistent with the proposed Multi - Family Residential land use designation. The proposed residential condominium project would be compatible with the residential developments to the south and northeast of the site. The proposed project is viewed as incompatible with the office uses across Santa Barbara Street and is also compatible with the adjacent hotel and golf course WHEREAS, the 2004 LCP Land Use Plan designates the site for Visitor Serving Commercial uses. This designation was applied due to the existing use of the Marriott Hotel complex. A change in land use designation from CV -B (Visistor- Serving Commercial) to RM -C (Medium Density Residential C) is necessary for the proposed residential development. The change in land use designation will reduce the land available for visistor- serving commercial uses by 4.25 acres. Although this reduction in area would occur, the opportunity to construct the remaining hotel room entitlement of 79 rooms would not be lost and they could be constructed nearby within a portion of Newport Center within the Coastal Zone. WHEREAS, Section 30250(a) of the California Coastal Act (CCA) provides criteria for the location of new development. The Coastal Act provides for the protection of coastal resources by requiring that new development be located in close proximity to existing development with available public services to minimize the impacts associated with the extension of infrastructure and services. The project is located within Newport Center, which is a development area with all public services (utilities, roads, police, fire etc.) presently provided. WHEREAS, Section 30252(4) requires new development within the Coastal Zone to provide adequate parking facilities or provide substitute means of serving the development with public transportation. The proposed development provides an adequate number of on -site parking spaces. The project also will be conditioned so that the parking structures will have adequate dimensions, clearances, and access to insure their proper use. WHEREAS, Section 30212, requires public access must be provided from the nearest public roadway to the shoreline and along the coast in new development. The subject property is not adjacent to the ocean or bay; therefore, coastal access easements are not required. WHEREAS, Section 30222 requires the use of private land suitable for visitor - serving commercial recreational facilities for coastal recreation must have priority over private residential, general industry, or general commercial development Although, the change in land use designation will reduce the land available for visistor serving commercial uses by 4.25 acres; the opportunity to construct the remaining hotel room entitlement of 79 rooms would not Page 3 of 21 be lost and they could be constructed nearby within the portion of Newport Center that is located within the Coastal Zone. WHEREAS, the City's General Plan indicates that the City shall maintain suitable and adequate standards for landscaping, sign control, site and building design, parking and undergrounding of utilities and other development standards to ensure that the beauty and charm of existing residential neighborhoods are maintained, that commercial and office projects are aesthetically pleasing and compatible with surrounding land uses. The proposed PC Text contains one classification of land use and provides the development standards for the entire subject property. The draft PC Text contains development regulations for the subject site which includes definitions and information concerning requirements for development site coverage, building height, setbacks, off - street parking, vehicular access, signing, lighting, storage, and screening and landscaping to ensure that the project would be compatible with the surrounding land uses consistent with the objectives of the Land Use Element. WHEREAS, to be consistent with the Housing Programs 2.2.1 and 2.2.3 of the City's Housing Element, the project is required to provide a minimum of 20% of the total units (16 units) for affordable income households for a minimum of 30 years. The applicant is requesting that the affordable housing provision be off -site, at an approved location within the City, as affordable housing is not feasible at the subject site. According to the applicant, the project's Home Owner's Association fees are expected to be a minimum of $1,500 per month, which is a substantial multiple of the statutory mortgage payment limits for affordable housing when combined with acquisition costs and taxes. With this provision, the applicant will be required to enter into an agreement with the City to provide said units off -site within the City's limits. The agreement will be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and will be executed prior to the recordation of tract map or the issuance of a building or grading permit for the proposed project. WHEREAS, an approval of the project is implementing Housing Program 3.2.4 that allows the City to consider and approve rezoning of property from non - residential to residential uses when appropriate to extend housing opportunities to as many renter and owner occupied households as possible in response to the demand for housing in the City. WHEREAS, Charter Section 423 requires all proposed General Plan Amendments to be reviewed to determine if the square footage, peak hour vehicle trip or dwelling units thresholds have been exceeded and a vote by the public is required. This project has been reviewed in accordance with Council Policy A -18 and a voter approval is not required as the project represents an increase of 39 — A.M. and 35 — P.M. peak hour trips for a new 79 dwelling unit development. These increases, when added with 80% of the increases attributable to two previously approved amendments, result in a total of 47 — A.M. peak hour trips and 43.8 — P.M. peak hour trips; 3,640 square feet of non - residential floor area and 79 dwelling units do not cumulatively exceed Charter Section 423 thresholds for a vote. WHEREAS, the project is located within Newport Center where public services and infrastructure are available to serve the proposed development. Additionally, all applicable improvements required by Section 19.28 (Subdivision Improvements) of the Subdivision Code are to be satisfied by the applicant. Page 4 of 21 WHEREAS, the parking requirement for a multiple - family residential zoned project is two spaces per unit, including one covered, plus 0.5 spaces for guest parking for developments of four or more units. A total of 158 spaces are required for the residences and a minimum of 40 spaces are required for guest parking. A total of 201 spaces are proposed to serve the project, and therefore, the project meets the parking requirements of the Municipal Code. In addition to the provision of adequate on -site parking, the project is conditioned that the parking designs meet all City requirements regarding parking stall width, depth, grade, and aisle- turning radii. WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 19.12.070 of the City Subdivision Code, the following standard findings must be made to approve the Tentative Parcel Map and Tract Map. 1. The proposed Tentative Maps are consistent with the Newport Beach Subdivision Code (Title 19) and applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act. Conditions of approval have been included to ensure compliance with Title 19 and the Subdivision Map Act. 2. Lot 1 of the Parcel Map is being proposed for the residential development and is of sufficient size for the intensity of development and the site is physically suitable for the project. The project provides an adequate number of parking spaces as required by the Zoning Code. Access to the site can be provided through the proposed driveways along Santa Barbara Drive. Additionally, no earthquake faults were found on -site. There is no known incidence of landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse on -site or near the site; however, existing soils will be required to be excavated and re- compacted to create stable soil conditions to support the proposed development. The implementation of mitigation measures identified in the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration would reduce any potential impacts. The site is, therefore, physically suitable for development. 3. Lot 2 of Parcel Map is proposed to retain a General Plan land use designation of Administrative, Professional & Financial Commercial. Lot 2 is not proposed for new development and this parcel will continue to be used as a hotel and it is of sufficient size to support its existing use. 4. Under the proposed Parcel Map, Lot 2 does not include any improvements and the development of Lot 1 as a residential use is not expected to cause serious public health problems given the use of typical construction materials and practices. No evidence is known to exist that would indicate that the proposed subdivisions will generate any serious public health problems. All mitigation measures will be implemented as outlined in the Mitigated Negative Declaration to ensure the protection of the public health. 5. No public easements for access through, or use of, the property have been retained for the use by the public at large. Public utility easements for utility connections that serve the project site are present and will be modified, if necessary, to serve the proposed project. Page 5 of 21 6. Title 24 of the Uniform Building Code requires new construction to meet minimum heating and cooling efficiency standards depending on location and climate. The Newport Beach Building Department enforces Title 24 compliance through the plan check and field inspection processes. 7. The proposed subdivision facilitates the creation of 79 new residential units. The provision of 16 affordable units will assist the City in meeting its housing needs as identified in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment. Public services are available to serve the proposed development of the site and the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project indicates that the project's potential environmental impacts are expected to be less than significant. 8. Waste discharge into the existing sewer system will be consistent with residential use of the property which does not violate Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements. 9. The proposed subdivision is entirely within the coastal zone and the site subject to the tentative maps is not presently developed with coastal - related uses, coastal - dependent uses or water - oriented recreational uses. The project is consistent with the City's 1990 Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan and the recently modified and approved LCPLUP that will replace the 1990 certified LUP. The subject site to be subdivided does not abut the ocean or bay, and does not provide public access to coastal resources; therefore, no impacts to coastal access are anticipated. Recreation policies of the Coastal Act require that site resources for water - oriented recreational activities that cannot be supplied inland must be protected. These policies prioritize water- oriented recreational activities over other land uses and encourage aquaculture and water - oriented recreational support facilities. The project site proposed to be subdivided is not suitable for water - oriented recreational activities due to its size and location, approximately 1.5 miles from the shoreline. WHEREAS, the entire project is located within the Coastal Zone and requests the construction of 79 units. Pursuant to Chapter 20.86 of the Zoning Code, when a project proposes to create 10 or more units within the coastal zone, affordable housing must be included within the project unless it can be determined infeasible. The Housing Element of the General Plan determines the number and type of affordable housing that is required. In accordance with the Housing Element, 16 affordable housing units would be required to be provided. WHEREAS, a Traffic Study has been prepared by Kunzman Associates under the supervision of the City Traffic Engineer pursuant to the TPO and its implementing guidelines (Appendix D of the Mitigated Negative Declaration), CEQA analysis for cumulative projects and intersection capacity utilization (ICU), and General Plan analysis. The project will result in a net increase of 330 new average daily trips, 42 vehicle trips during morning (AM) peak hour and 39 vehicle trips during the afternoon (PM) peak hour. The study concluded that the proposed project will not cause a significant impact at the study area intersections; therefore, no improvements are required at these intersections. Page 6 of 21 WHEREAS, an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) have been prepared in compliance with the Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and City Council Policy K -3. The Draft MND was circulated for public comment between July 15 and August 15, 2005. Comments were received from the California Coastal Commission, Airport Land Use Commission and Mr. Terek Saleh of Costa Mesa. The contents of the environmental document, including comments on the document, have been considered in the various decisions on this project. Since then, it was determined that the most appropriate zoning designation for the property would be PC (Planned Community). This new zoning designation does not affect the size, scope or design of the project that would potentially create additional physical environmental impacts. As result, it has been determined that the MND adequately describes the potential impacts of the project and does not require additional recirculation and review of the MND. An addendum has been prepared to address the change in the zoning designation and made it a part of the MND. WHEREAS, on the basis of the entire environmental review record, the proposed project will have a less than significant impact upon the environment and there are no known substantial adverse affects on human beings that would be caused. Additionally, there are no long -term environmental goals that would be compromised by the project, nor cumulative impacts anticipated in connection with the project. The mitigation measures identified are feasible and reduce potential environmental impacts to a less than significant level. The mitigation measures are applied to the project and are incorporated as conditions of approval. WHEREAS, General Plan Amendment No. 2004 -005, Planned Community Development Plan No. 2005 -003, Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-014, Tentative Tract Map No. 2004 -004 (16774), Traffic Study No. 2005 -002 and Coastal Residential Development Permit No. 2005 -004 shall only become effective upon the approval of LCP Land Use Plan Amendment No. 2005 -001 by the Califomia Coastal Commission. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Newport Beach does hereby adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH No. 2005 - 071067); approve General Plan Amendment No. 2004 -005 by amending the Land Use Element, Statistical Area L1, Block 900 -Hotel Plaza and the Estimated Growth for Statistical Area L1 Table of the General Plan as depicted in Exhibit "A" and Land Use map in Exhibit "B ", LCP Land Use Plan Amendment No. 2005 -001 by revising Land Use map as depicted in Exhibit "C, Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005 -014, Tentative Tract Map No. 2004 -004 (16774), Traffic Study No. 2005- 002 and Coastal Residential Development Permit No. 2005 -004, subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit "D" Page 7 of 21 This resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption.

A copy of the current ESCP shall be kept at the project site and be available for City of Newport Beach review on request. Mitigation Measures of the Mitigated Negative Declaration 60. Any exposed soil areas shall be watered twice per day during grading activities. On windy days or when fugitive dust can be observed leaving the project site, additional applications of water shall be applied to maintain minimum 12 percent moisture content as defined by SCAQMD Rule 403. Under windy conditions where velocities are forecast to exceed 25 miles per hour (as ascertained by phone calls to the SCAQMD), all ground disturbing activities shall be halted until winds are forecast to abate below this threshold. 61. The proposed Project shall comply with regional rules such as SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403, which would assist in reducing short-term air pollutant emissions. Rule 403 requires that fugitive dust be controlled with best available control measures so that Page 17 of 21 the presence of such dust does not remain visible in the atmosphere beyond the property line of the emission source. Rule 402 requires dust suppression techniques be implemented to prevent fugitive dust from creating a nuisance off -site. These dust suppression techniques are summarized as follows: a. Portions of the construction site to remain inactive longer than a period of three months shall be seeded and watered until grass cover is grown or otherwise stabilized in a manner acceptable to the City. b. All on -site roads shall be paved as soon as feasible or watered periodically or chemically stabilized. c. All material transported off -site shall be either sufficiently watered or securely covered to prevent excessive amounts of dust. d. The area disturbed by clearing, grading, earthmoving, or excavation operations shall be minimized at all times. 62. All vehicles on the construction site shall travel at speeds less than 15 miles per hour. 63. All material stockpiles subject to wind erosion during construction activities that will not be utilized within three days shall be covered with plastic, an alternative cover deemed equivalent to plastic, or sprayed with a nontoxic chemical stabilizer. 64. Where vehicles leave the construction site and enter adjacent public streets, the streets shall be swept daily at the end of the work day to remove soil tracked onto the paved surface. Any visible track -out extending for more than fifty (50) feet from the access point shall be swept within thirty (30) minutes of deposition. 65. All diesel - powered vehicles and equipment shall be properly operated and maintained. 66. All diesel - powered vehicles and gasoline - powered equipment shall be turned off when not in use for more than five (5) minutes. 67. The construction contractor shall utilize electric or natural gas - powered equipment instead of gasoline or diesel - powered engines, where feasible. 68. As much as possible, the construction contractor shall time the construction activities so as not to interfere with peak hour traffic. To minimize obstruction of through traffic lanes adjacent to the site, a flag person shall be retained to maintain safety adjacent to existing roadways, if necessary. 69. The construction contractor shall support and encourage ridesharing and transit incentives for the construction crew. 70. The construction contractor shall utilize, as much as possible, pre - coated /natural colored building materials. Water -based or low VOC coatings shall be used that comply with the most stringent SCAQMD Rule 1113 limits. Spray equipment with high Page 18 of 21 transfer efficiency, such as the high volume -low pressure (HVLP) paint applicators with 50 percent efficiency or manual coatings application such as paint brush hand roller, trowel, spatula, dauber, rag, or a sponge shall be used to reduce VOC emissions, where practical. Additionally, paint application shall use lower volatility paint not exceeding 100 grams of ROG per liter. 71. If construction equipment powered by alternative fuel sources (LPG /CNG) is available at comparable cost, the developer shall specify that such equipment be used during all construction activities on the proposed Project site. 72. The developer shall require the use of particulate filters on diesel construction equipment if use of such filters is demonstrated to be cost - competitive for use on this proposed Project. 73. During demolition and excavation, daily total haul trucks shall travel no more than a cumulative 2,400 miles per day hauling materials from the site to and from the dumping site. 74. Prior to commencement of demolition and grading, the applicant shall submit to the City calculations showing the proposed travel route for haul trucks, the distance traveled, and how many daily truck trips that can be accommodated while keeping the cumulative miles traveled to below 2,400 miles each day. The daily haul truck trips shall not exceed 2,400 miles during demolition and excavation activities. 75. Prior to the issuance of the grading permit, the applicant shall provide written evidence to the Planning Director that a qualified archaeologist has been retained to observe grading activities and conduct salvage excavation of archaeological resources as necessary. The archaeologist shall be present at the pre - grading conference, shall establish procedures for archaeological resources surveillance, and shall establish, in cooperation with the applicant, procedures for temporarily halting or redirecting work to permit the sampling, identification and evaluation of the artifacts as appropriate. If additional or unexpected archaeological features are discovered, the archaeologist shall report such findings to the applicant and to the Planning Department. If the archaeological resources are found to be significant, the archaeological observer shall determine appropriate actions, in cooperation with the applicant, for exploration and /or salvage. These actions, as well as final mitigation and disposition of the resources, shall be subject to the approval of the Planning Director. 76. Prior to the issuance of the grading permit, the applicant shall provide written evidence to the planning director that a qualified paleontologist has been retained to observe grading activities and conduct salvage fossils as necessary. The paleontologist shall be present at the pre - grading conference, shall establish procedures for paleontological resource surveillance, and shall establish cooperation with the applicant, procedures for temporarily halting or redirecting work to permit the sampling, identification and evaluation of fossils. If major paleontological resources are discovered which require long term baiting or redirecting of grading, the paleontologist shall report such findings to the applicant and to the Planning Department. The paleontologist shall determine appropriate actions, in cooperation with the applicant, Page 19 of 21 which ensure proper exploration and /or salvage. These actions, as well as final mitigation and disposition of the resources, shall be subject to the approval of the Planning Director. 77. During construction of the Proposed improvements, in accordance with Public Resources Code 5097.94, if human remains are found, the Orange County coroner must be notified within 24 hours of the discovery. If the coroner determines that the remains are not recent, the coroner will notify the Native American Heritage Commissions in Sacramento to determine the most likely descendent for the area. The designated Native American representative then determines, in consultation with the property owner, the disposition of the human remains. 78. In areas where compacted fill will be required to establish design grades, and in design cut areas where the depth of the proposed cut does not exceed the thickness of the existing unsuitable surficial soils, on -site surficial soils shall be excavated and recompacted to create stable soil conditions and correct poor slope performance. 79. During grading activities, where cut - to-fill transitions exist following remedial grading, they shall be eliminated by over - excavating the "cut' portions of the building pads and replacing the excavated material as properly compacted fill. See Mitigation Measure 3.6. B of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for further detail and requirement. 80. During remedial grading and construction of the proposed subterranean parking areas and associated improvements, temporary excavations with sidewalls varying up to approximately 13 feet in height may be necessary. Temporary excavation sidewalls will require sloping back at a ratio of approximately 12:1, horizontal to vertical. Flatter inclinations may be required locally should excessive caving be observed during grading. See Mitigation Measure 3.6.0 of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program forfurther detail and requirement. 81. Construction activities shall be confined to the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:30 P.M. on weekdays and on Saturdays between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. 82.
