RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council initiate a General Plan Amendment by adopting the attached resolution. DISCUSSION: The Newport Beach Country Club has General Plan Land Use designations of Recreational and Environmental Open Space for the tennis club site with an allotment of 24 tennis courts and Recreational and Environmental Open Space for the 132 -acre golf course site with no specific development limit. During the General Plan 2006 Update, representatives of the Newport Beach Country Club indicated their intent to renovate the existing golf and tennis facilities by constructing new golf and tennis clubhouses and providing short-term rental and residential opportunities. The City, in response, agreed to consider their request and subsequently re- designated the tennis club site as Mixed Use Horizontal 3 /Park and Recreation (MU- H3 /PR) with a development limit of 24 tennis courts and the potential for commercial and residential developments per Anomaly No. 46. The golf course site was designated as Park and Recreation (PR) with a development limit of 35,000 square feet per Anomaly No. 74. Newport Beach Country Club GPA Initiation January 27, 2009 Page 2 The development limits included in the Anomaly table do not correctly characterize the extent of redevelopment as was intended at the time the General Plan was adopted. As a result, staff is requesting the following amendments to Anomaly Nos. 46 and 74: Anomaly No. 46 (Tennis Club Site): • Remove 17 of 24 tennis court (7 tennis courts remaining); • Add 27 hotel units (for visitor - serving short-term rental units); • Increase development limit from 3,725 to 10,500 square feet to accommodate a new clubhouse with spa/fitness facility; and • Allocate 5 of the 450 residential units allowed in the Newport Center /Fashion Area (20 units are remaining at this time) Anomaly No. 74 (Golf Course /Club Site): • Increase the development limit from 35,000 to 55,500 square feet to accommodate a new clubhouse with ancillary uses. Environmental Review: A General Plan amendment initiation is considered to be feasibility or planning study by staff, which is statutorily exempt pursuant to Section 15262 of the Implementing Guidelines for the California Environmental Equality Act. Public Notice: Notice is not required to initiate a General Plan Amendment. Should the request be approved, there will be noticed Planning Commission and City Council public hearings. This item was included on the agenda for this meeting which was posted at City Hall and on the City's website. Prepared by: R alinh M.
