DISCUSSION
The subject property is approximately seven acres in size and currently improved with a
private tennis club which consists of 24 tennis courts, a 3,725 square-foot tennis
clubhouse, and 125 surface parking spaces. The subject property is located adjacent and
east of the Newport Beach Country Club Golf Course and west of the Corporate Plaza
West Planned Community, which consists of several office buildings. The site is also
located directly south of the Granville residential community.
On January 24, 2012, the City Council adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
approved a Site Development Review, Tentative Vesting Tract Map, and Temporary
Structures Use (Limited Term) Permit for the project.
On March 27, 2012, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2012-2 for a Planned
Community Development Plan Amendment and Ordinance No. 2012-3 for a Development
Agreement for the project.
On April 10, 2013, the California Coastal Commission issued a notice of intent to issue
Coastal Development Permit No. 5-12-160 for the project. A one-year extension was
granted on June 2, 2015; However, the CDP subsequently expired.
The City obtained Coastal Development Permit authority in January of 2017 and the
applicant is now requesting a Coastal Development Permit for the project in accordance
with the requirements of the previously approved entitlements for the site. The project
design and components of the proposed development have not changed in any notable
way since the original entitlements were adopted for the project in 2012. Construction
plans for the project have been submitted for City review. However, as the subject
property is located in coastal zone, no building permits will be issued and/or the
subdivision maps will be recorded until the effective date of a coastal development permit.
General Plan
x The subject property is located in the MU-H3/PR (Mixed-Use Horizontal/Parks and
Recreation) land use designation in the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
The MU-H3/PR designation is intended to apply to properties located in Newport
Center. It provides for the horizontal intermixing of regional commercial office,
hotel, multi-family residential and ancillary commercial uses. Within the Tennis
Club site, residential uses may be developed as single-family units. The proposed
Tennis Club site demolition, development, and associated subdivisions are
consistent with the intermixing of regional commercial, hotel, and single-family
uses intended for this site by the Land Use Element of the General Plan.

x Land Use Policy LU 6.14.2 (Newport Center [“MU-H3,” “CO-R,” “CO-M,” and “RM”
designations]) of the General Plan, states,
“Provide the opportunity for limited residential, hotel, and office development in
accordance with the limits specified by Tables LU1 and LU2. (Imp 2.1)”
The MU-H3 district allows for a maximum of 450 dwelling units in Newport Center
as identified in Table LU1 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Of these
450 dwelling units, the Tennis Club Site is allocated five dwelling units per City
Council Ordinance No. 2012-2. Further, Anomaly No. 46 of Table LU2 in the Land
Use Element of the General Plan states that the site is limited to 3,725 square feet
of nonresidential floor area, 24 tennis courts, and residential units in accordance
with the MU-H3 land use designation for the Tennis Club Site. Hotel units are
authorized by City Council Resolution No. 2012-10 converting 17 existing tennis
courts to 27 hotel units. The proposed development is in accordance with the land
use allocations allotted by Tables LU1 and LU2 of the General Plan.
x Land Use Policy LU 6.14.8 (Development Agreements) of the General Plan, states,
“Require the execution of Development Agreements for residential and mixed-use
development projects that use the residential 450 units identified in Table LU2
(Anomaly Locations). Development Agreements shall define the improvements
and benefits to be contributed by the developer in exchange for the City’s
commitment for the number, density, and location of the housing units. (Imp 13.1)”
On March 27, 2012, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2012-3, approving the
Development Agreement (DA) for the redevelopment of the Newport Beach Country
Club, Tennis Club Site. The DA became effective on September 27, 2012, and the
term is for 10 years, or upon completion of the project in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the DA, whichever comes first. The applicant is required to pay the
following public benefit fees at the issuance of permits:
o $93,000 per each residential dwelling unit; and
o $10 per square foot of new construction to the existing tennis clubhouse
The Zoning Administrator conducted an annual review of the DA on April 27, 2017,
and a subsequent annual review is planned in the near future.
x The property is part of the 145-acre PC-47 (Newport Beach Country Club Planned
Community)zoning district, which has been adopted to regulate development
within the subject property and the Golf Club Site, and is in conformance with the
General Plan designation pursuant to City Council Ordinance No. 2012-2.

Coastal Land Use Plan/Local Coastal Program
x The Coastal Land Use Plan designates the Tennis Club site as Mixed-Use
Horizontal/Parks and Recreation (MU-H/PR). Policy 2.1.8-1 of the Coastal Land
Use Plan allows the horizontal intermixing of short-term rental bungalows and
single-family homes with the expanded tennis club facilities on this site (formerly
known/referenced as the Balboa Bay Tennis Club). Permitted uses include those
permitted by the MU-H and PR land use designations. A complete consistency
analysis of each of the applicable Coastal Land Use Plan policies is included in
Table 11 of the Land Use and Planning Section of the previously adopted Mitigated
Negative Declaration (MND), pages 82 through 87 (Attachment No. ZA 3). In
summary, the proposed project is consistent with the Coastal Land Use Plan.
o The MU-H/PR coastal land use designation identifies a maximum
density/intensity limit of 1.5 floor area ratio (FAR), with a minimum FAR of 0.25
and a maximum FAR of 0.5 for retail uses and a maximum of 1.0 for residential.
The project proposes 37,990 square feet of nonresidential floor area (0.26
FAR) for the bungalow hotel units, concierge & guest center, and spa, and five
residential dwelling units totaling 19,367 square feet (0.13 FAR). The proposed
density/intensity of the hotel and single-family units comply with the FAR
limitations identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan.
o The PR category applies to land used or proposed for active public or private
recreational use. Permitted uses include parks (both active and passive), golf
courses, marina support facilities, aquatic facilities, tennis clubs and courts,
private recreation, and similar facilities. The PR designation on this site is
applicable to the existing and proposed private tennis club and tennis courts.
The density/intensity limitations include incidental buildings, such as
maintenance equipment sheds, supply storage, and restrooms, not included in
determining intensity limits. The proposed tennis club and ancillary uses are
consistent with this land use designation.
x The property is part of the 145-acre PC-47 (Newport Beach Country Club Planned
Community)Coastal zoning district, which has been adopted to regulate
development within the subject property and the Golf Club Site, and is in
conformance with the Coastal Land Use Plan designation pursuant to Section
21.26.055 (S)(2)of the Local Coastal Program. Refer to the comparison of
development standards in Table 1 and the proposed project plans provided as
Attachment No. ZA 6.

Hazards
x The property is not located in an area known for the potential of seismic activity or
liquefaction. All projects are required to comply with the California Building Code
(CBC) and Building Division standards and policies. Geotechnical investigations
specifically addressing liquefaction are required to be reviewed and approved prior
to the issuance of a building permit. Permit issuance is also contingent on the
inclusion of design mitigation identified in the investigations. Construction plans are
reviewed for compliance with approved investigations and CBC prior to building
permit issuance.
x Elevations on the project site range from 104 feet up to 120 feet North American
Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) above mean sea level. These site elevations are
well above projected sea level rise in Newport Bay for the next 75 years and the site
is not subjected to other coastal hazards.
Water Quality
x The proposed project is required to develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) since the proposed project involves clearing, grading, and
ground disturbance of more than one acre. Pursuant to Section 21.35.030
(Construction Pollution Prevention Plan)of the Municipal Code, when a SWPPP is
required, a Construction Pollution Prevention Plan (CPPP) is required to implement
temporary Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction to minimize
erosion and sedimentation and to minimize pollution of runoff and coastal waters
derived from construction chemicals and materials. A CPPP has been prepared and
will be reviewed by the City’s Engineer Geologist prior to issuance of grading/building
permits for site grading. Construction plans and activities will be required to adhere
to the approved CPPP/SWPPP.
x A Water Quality and Hydrology Plan (WQHP) is required Pursuant to Section
21.35.050 (Water Quality and Hydrology Plan)of the Newport Beach Municipal Code
since the project is considered a development of water quality concern and includes
the development of five dwelling units, more than 10,000 square feet of impervious
surface area, and a parking area in excess of 5,000 square feet. The WQHP/WQMP
will be reviewed and approved by the City’s Engineer Geologist prior to the issuance
of building permits for site grading. The WQHP/WQMP includes a polluted runoff and
hydrologic site characterization, a description of site design BMPs, and
documentation of the expected effectiveness of the proposed BMPs. Construction
plans will be reviewed for compliance with the approved WQHP/WQMP prior to
building permit issuance.

Coastal access
x The project site is not located between the nearest public road and the sea or
shoreline. The project will not affect the public’s ability to gain access to, use, and/or
view the coast and nearby recreational facilities. Vertical access to Newport Bay is
available via existing public access at 1601 Bayside Drive, which is located
approximately 1,600 feet southwest of the subject property.
x Coastal Land Use Plan, Policy 4.4.1-6 and Figure 4-3 (Coastal Views)identify the
closest public view road as Newport Center Drive, located approximately 170 feet
east of the project site and the closest public view point as Irvine Terrace Park,
located 525 feet south of the project site. Coastal views from these view corridors
and viewpoints are directed toward the Newport Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Since
the proposed project is located to the north of Irvine Terrace Park, the proposed
project will not affect coastal views due to its orientation. From Newport Center
Drive, there is a 0 to 40-foot grade difference to the project area below. The
maximum height allowed under the Planned Community Development Plan is 39
feet for the five single-family villas, 30 feet for the Tennis Club, and 31 feet for the
27 hotel bungalows. Therefore, the majority of the project would sit below the
existing grade elevations along Newport Center Drive, minimizing the visibility of
the project site and would not obstruct public coastal views. During construction,
construction equipment would be obscured by vegetation and the grade differential
so it would not obstruct coastal views from motorists traveling along Newport
Center Drive. The project will not impact coastal views.
Affordable visitor accommodations
x An Analysis of the Fiscal and Economic Impacts was prepared on November 8,
2018, by CBRE Hotels (Attachment No. ZA 4) to analyze the construction of new
visitor accomodations in the coastal zone in accordance with the requirements of
Section 21.48.025 (Visitor Accomodations)of the Local Coastal Program. The
report provides a feasiblity analysis stating that the anticipated average daily
room rate for all 27 rooms is approximately $900 and the statewide average daily
room rate is $161.80. Therefore, the proposed accomodations are not considered
lower cost accomodations. The report considers the specific location of the
property as an inappropriate location for low cost accomodations. The site does
not currently provide accomodations of any kind and implementation of the project
would not impact low cost accomodations. The report further includes an impact
analysis and concludes while the project does not include any lower cost rooms,
and the Local Coastal Program defines it as an impact, there is no impact on the
provision of lower-cost visitor accomodations in the Coastal Zone. Because there
is no nexus to an impact, no mitigation is required.

Public Comments
x To date, one public comment letter has been received regarding the proposed
project (Attachment No. ZA 5). Ms. Pamela Spears expressed concern regarding
the number of hotel units in Statistical Area L1 and the number of parking spaces
provided for the project.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
All significant environmental concerns for the proposed project have been addressed in
the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration No. ND2010-008 (PA2005-140), State
Clearinghouse No. 20100091052,per City Council Resolution No. 2012-9 (MND). Since
the adoption of the MND in 2012, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to
the circumstances under which the MND was adopted and no substantial changes to the
environmental setting of the project or the project itself have occurred. No new information
of substantial importance has become available with regard to environmental effects
since no new information relating to significant effects or mitigation measures have
become available. Thus, the project does not require additional environmental review
pursuant to CEQA. Copies of the previously prepared environmental document are
available for public review and inspection at the Planning Division or at the City of Newport
Beach website at www.newportbeachca.gov/ceqa.
PUBLIC NOTICE

SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with Section 21.52.015 (Coastal Development Permits, Findings and Decision)
of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the following findings and facts in support of such
findings are set forth:
Finding:
A. Conforms to all applicable sections of the certified Local Coastal Program.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Coastal Land Use Plan designates the Tennis Club site as Mixed-Use
Horizontal/Parks and Recreation (MU-H/PR). Policy 2.1.8-1 of the Coastal Land Use
Plan allows the horizontal intermixing of short-term rental bungalows and single-family
homes with the expanded tennis club facilities on this site (formerly known/referenced
as the Balboa Bay Tennis Club). Permitted uses include those permitted by the MU-H
and PR land use designations. A complete consistency analysis of each of the
applicable Coastal Land Use Plan policies is included in Table 11 of the Land Use and
Planning Section of the previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND),
pages 82 through 87. In summary, the proposed project is consistent with the Coastal
Land Use Plan.
2. The MU-H/PR coastal land use designation identifies a maximum density/intensity limit
of 1.5 floor area ratio (FAR), with a minimum FAR of 0.25 and a maximum FAR of 0.5
for retail uses and a maximum of 1.0 for residential. The project proposes 37,990 square
feet of nonresidential floor area (0.26 FAR) for the bungalow hotel units, concierge &
guest center, and spa, and five residential dwelling units totaling 19,367 square feet
(0.13 FAR). The proposed density/intensity of the hotel and single-family units comply
with the FAR limitations identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan.
12
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ####
Page 3 of 8
05-01-2018
3. The PR category applies to land used or proposed for active public or private
recreational use. Permitted uses include parks (both active and passive), golf courses,
marina support facilities, aquatic facilities, tennis clubs and courts, private recreation,
and similar facilities. The PR designation on this site is applicable to the existing and
proposed private tennis club and tennis courts. The density/intensity limitations include
incidental buildings, such as maintenance equipment sheds, supply storage, and
restrooms, not included in determining intensity limits. The proposed tennis club and
ancillary uses are consistent with this land use designation.
4. The property is part of the 145-acre PC-47 (Newport Beach Country Club Planned
Community)Coastal zoning district, which has been adopted to regulate development
within the subject property and the Golf Club Site, and is in conformance with the Coastal
Land Use Plan designation pursuant to Section 21.26.055 (S)(2)of the Local Coastal
Program.
5. The proposed project and minor accessory structures as identified on the project plans
conform to all applicable development standards in the Planned Community text.
6. The property is not located in an area known for the potential of seismic activity or
liquefaction. All projects are required to comply with the California Building Code (CBC)
and Building Division standards and policies. Geotechnical investigations specifically
addressing liquefaction are required to be reviewed and approved prior to the issuance of
a building permit. Permit issuance is also contingent on the inclusion of design mitigation
identified in the investigations. Construction plans are reviewed for compliance with
approved investigations and CBC prior to building permit issuance.
7.Elevations on the project site range from 104 feet up to 120 feet North American Vertical
Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) above mean sea level. These site elevations are well above
projected sea level rise in Newport Bay for the next 75 years and the site is not subjected
to other coastal hazards.
8. The proposed project is required to develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) since the proposed project involves clearing, grading, and
ground disturbance of more than one acre. Pursuant to Section 21.35.030 (Construction
Pollution Prevention Plan)of the Municipal Code, when a SWPPP is required, a
Construction Pollution Prevention Plan (CPPP) is required to implement temporary Best
Management Practices (BMPs) during construction to minimize erosion and sedimentation
and to minimize pollution of runoff and coastal waters derived from construction chemicals
and materials. A CPPP has been prepared and will be reviewed by the City’s Engineer
Geologist prior to issuance of grading/building permits for site grading. Construction plans
and activities will be required to adhere to the approved CPPP/SWPPP.
9. A Water Quality and Hydrology Plan (WQHP) is required Pursuant to Section 21.35.050
(Water Quality and Hydrology Plan)of the Newport Beach Municipal Code since the project
is considered a development of water quality concern and includes the development of five
dwelling units, more than 10,000 square feet of impervious surface area, and a parking
area in excess of 5,000 square feet. The WQHP/WQMP will be reviewed and approved by
the City’s Engineer Geologist prior to the issuance of building permits for site grading. The
13
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ####
Page 4 of 8
05-01-2018
WQHP/WQMP includes a polluted runoff and hydrologic site characterization, a
description of site design BMP’s, and documentation of the expected effectiveness of the
proposed BMPs. Construction plans will be reviewed for compliance with the approved
WQHP/WQMP prior to building permit issuance.
10. An Analysis of the Fiscal and Economic Impacts was prepared on November 8, 2018,
by CBRE Hotels to analyze the construction of new visitor accomodations in the coastal
zone in accordance with the requirements of Section 21.48.025 (Visitor Accomodations)
of the Local Coastal Program. The report provides a feasibility analysis stating that the
anticipated average daily room rate for all 27 rooms is approximately $900 and the
statewide average daily room rate is $161.80. Therefore, the proposed accomodations
are not considered lower cost accomodations. The report considers the specific location
of the property as an inappropriate location for low cost accomodations. The site does
not currently provide accomodations of any kind and implementation of the project would
not impact low cost accomodations. The report further includes an impact analysis and
concludes while the project does not include any lower cost rooms, and the Local
Coastal Program defines it as an impact, there is no impact on the provision of lower-
cost visitor accomodations in the Coastal Zone. Because there is no nexus to an impact,
no mitigation is required.
Finding:
B. Conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act if the project is located between the nearest public road and the sea or
shoreline of any body of water located within the coastal zone .
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The project site is not located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline.
The project will not affect the public’s ability to gain access to, use, and/or view the coast
and nearby recreational facilities. Vertical access to Newport Bay is available via existing
public access at 1601 Bayside Drive, which is located approximately 1,600 feet southwest
of the subject property.
2.Coastal Land Use Plan, Policy 4.4.1-6 and Figure 4-3 (Coastal Views)identify the
closest public view road as Newport Center Drive, located approximately 170 feet east
of the project site and the closest public view point as Irvine Terrace Park, located 525
feet south of the project site. Coastal views from these view corridors and viewpoints
are directed toward the Newport Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Since the proposed project
is located to the north of Irvine Terrace Park, the proposed project will not affect coastal
views due to its orientation. From Newport Center Drive, there is a 0 to 40-foot grade
difference to the project area below. The maximum height allowed under the Planned
Community Development Plan is 39 feet for the five single-family villas and 30 feet for
the Tennis Club, and 31 feet for the 27 bungalows. Therefore, the majority of the project
would sit below the existing grade elevations along Newport Center Drive, minimizing
the visibility of the project site and would not obstruct public coastal views. During
construction, construction equipment would be obscured by vegetation and the grade

differential so it would not obstruct coastal views from motorists traveling along Newport
Center Drive. The project will not impact coastal views.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves Coastal
Development Permit No.CD2017-039,subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit “A,”
which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference.
2. This action shall become final and effective 14 days following the date this Resolution
was adopted unless within such time an appeal or call for review is filed with the
Community Development Director in accordance with the provisions of Title 21 Local
Coastal Implementation Plan, of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. The project site is
not located within the appeal area of the coastal zone; therefore, final action by the City
may not be appealed to the California Coastal Commission.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED THIS 20
TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2018.

Dear Makana,
I received the Notice of Public hearing for this project and went to city website to search
for the environmental impact study. I was not able to find it or the Revised
Economic Impact Analysis from 8/15/2018 or the Revised Fiscal Analysis Submitted
10/5/2018. Please send me the links to these and the proper file to review the complete
project. As I recall, the original submission was for 24 hotel units and that was when the
79 Marriott units were still available.
I am extremely concerned about the number of hotel rooms and the loss of parking. It is
my understanding that the remaining hotel rooms in L1 are under the control of the
Irvine company and that since the city traded the 79 extra Marriott hotel rooms to add
additional units in the San Joaquin apartments there are no more available hotel rooms
to be built in Fashion Island. Please explain how zoning is even considering this.
Also in the mailer, it appears that there will be only 50 parking spots for a hotel with 27
suites, 2170 square foot guest center, 7490 square foot spa and swimming pool.
The 3725 square foot Tennis clubhouse and 6 tennis courts will have 38 parking spots.
61
The five homes will have 2 parking spots each equaling 10. Two parking spots for a
6385 square foot house?????? At a minimum, what happened to chapter 20.40 of the
Oct 2010 zoning update?
This is not nearly enough parking for Newport Beach. Every person sixteen or older has
a car in Newport Beach so heaven forbid they decide to play doubles at the tennis club
and have other people in the clubhouse having lunch. The adjacent office parking is full
during working hours. There is simply not enough parking for the proposed plan.
Thank you
Pam Spears

Subject: November 20, 2018, Zoning Administrator Agenda Item No. 2 ‐‐ Hearing for
Newport Beach Country Club ‐Tennis Club Site Coastal Development Permit No.
CD2017‐039 (PA2017‐091)
Dear Mr. Alford,
SPON respectfully requests a continuance of this item, or short of that, a denial.
CD2017‐039 is a request for approval of major new development in Newport Beach. It
is also a matter of considerable public interest with potential Greenlight implications.
Despite this complexity, a 95‐page staff report was released late Thursday, leaving
scant time for individuals, let alone a multi‐member organization to formulate a
thoughtful position.
Based on one member’s very quick review, SPON has identified the following concerns:
Section 21.10.030 of the City’s LCP‐IP holds that “in no case shall the policies of
the Coastal Land Use Plan be interpreted to allow a development to exceed a
development limit established by the General Plan.” SPON is unable to find any
voter‐approved limit in the City’s GP that would allow this project as described.
o The staff report notes the site is listed as Anomaly No. 46 in Table LU2
of the GP, and that development of nonresidential floor area is limited
to 3,725 square feet – a limit approved by voters in 2006.
o The staff report goes on to suggest that even though it can’t be found
in the voter‐approved Table LU2, a much larger amount of
nonresidential floor area can be found consistent with the GP because
of Resolution No. 2012‐10 in which the City Council “converted” 17 of
the tennis courts approved by voters in 2006 into a new non‐voter‐
approved allocation (not shown in Table LU2) for 27 hotel units.

o Since SPON finds no policy allowing such “conversions” of voter‐approved development
limits, SPON strongly believes Resolution No. 2012‐10 is being treated by staff in all but
name, not as a finding of “consistency,” but rather as a Council‐directed GP Amendment.
SPON does not understand why the Council chose not to update Table LU2 to correctly
reflect its wishes, but be that as it may, if the increase in the previous limits for Anomaly 46
proposed by Resolution No. 2012‐10 exceeds the thresholds specified in Charter Section 423
(Greenlight) that change to the GP is, and will (per our Charter) remain, of no force or effect
until validated by voters.
o Given that, a proper analysis of the amount of development remaining in Statistical Area L1
that could be added to Anomaly 46 without voter approval would be much appreciated.
The “PROJECT SUMMARY” suggests the CDP will in some way be approving a Vesting Tentative Tract
Map (or “Tentative Vesting Tract Map” in the “DISCUSSION”) locally approved in 2012.
o It is our understanding that under Title 19 of the Municipal Code, Tentative Maps are valid
for at most five years, even if extensions were applied for.
o We have trouble understanding how any rights conferred by the map could still be valid.
o Whatever its status, the map the CDP is being asked to approve is not provided.
The staff report refers to a Development Agreement approved by the City Council in 2012, which
staff and the applicant may have relied on as protecting the map and certain other Council
approvals.
o SPON believes there are grounds to question whether the Development Agreement was
ever effective, particularly in the context of a CDP application, since no evidence is
presented that it was ever submitted to the California Coastal Commission for its approval,
as would have been required in the absence of a fully certified Local Coastal Program.
SPON was under the impression that notice of pending CDP applications was supposed to be
prominently and continuously posted on the site. We are unaware of any public notice of this
application prior to postings about the present hearing. (NBMC Sec. 21.50.080 Posting Notice).

In short, SPON does not believe the application in its current form can be approved, and should approval be
considered, feels this hearing should be continued until more thought can be given to the options for
development that may be available with or without a proper General Plan Amendment and, potentially, a
Greenlight vote.
Yours sincerely,
Dorothy Kraus

November 20, 2018, Zoning Administrator Agenda Comments
Comments submitted by: Jim Mosher ( jimmosher@yahoo.com ), 2210 Private Road, Newport Beach
92660 (949-548-6229)
Item 2. Newport Beach Country Club-Tennis Club Site Coastal
Development Permit No. CD2017-039 (PA2017-091)
1. I generally agree with the comments I see in the SPON comment letter posted to the
hearing materials site.
2. Although this application is not a total surprise to me, I think it would be a surprise for most
of the public, since I travel through the subject parking lot frequently and until seeing the
notices about this hearing posted a week or so ago, I do not recall ever seeing a notice of
this pending CDP application – even though, as the SPON letter indicates, Sec. 21.50.080
of the LCP-IP requires conspicuous posting and maintenance of signs, by the applicant,
throughout the application process (for the application, not just for the hearing).
3. My understanding is that in the City’s 2006 General Plan voters allocated enough future
development potential in Statistical Area L1 to accommodate a project similar to the one
currently being proposed. But as noted in the comment letter from Pam Spears
(handwritten page 61 of the staff report) all the otherwise unused hotel room allocations
were converted into residential entitlements in what is now called the Villas Fashion Island
Apartments, leaving none (as far as I know) for the present request.
a. Although not strictly a Coastal Act issue, CDP’s are not, as the SPON letter says,
supposed to be approved for development that exceeds the City’s General Plan
limits.
b. The City’s L1 Tracking Table shows 21,000 sf of non-residential square footage
having been added to the General Plan, with Council (but without voter) approval, in
2012 to accommodate construction of the golf clubhouse. That leaves just 23,200 sf
more available to add in all of Area L1 through 2022 without a voter-approved
amendment to the General Plan. This project proposes to exceed the current
General Plan non-residential floor area allotment for this site by 37,990 sf (a number,
by itself, even without the prior increases, close to the Greenlight threshold of 40,000
sf).
c. Like SPON, I believe that per Charter Section 423, any interpretation of the General
Plan that increases the stated limits by more than the available amount shown in the
Tracking Table, as this project appears to do, is not effective until it has been
approved by the City’s voters.
d. Until such approval is obtained, I believe the CDP must be denied.
4. I also believe the Development Agreement referred to in the staff report was never effective,
because, to the best of my knowledge, it was never approved by the Coastal Commission,
as is clearly required by Gov. Code Sec. 65869 for cities that lack certified local coastal
programs, as Newport Beach did at the time.

Item No. 2b - ADDITIONAL MATERIALS RECEIVED
Newport Beach Country Club - Tennis Club Site CDP (PA2017-091)
5. It is also unclear if the subdivision proposed by the Tentative Tract map mentioned in the
staff report was ever approved by the Coastal Commission. Whether it was, or not, because
the City’s approval was not protected by a valid Development Agreement, I would think the
map must have expired some years ago. NBMC Chapter 19.16 says tentative maps expire
after two years and can be extended for a maximum of five years total. I do not think CDP
approval should be granted for something, like this, that doesn’t have current local approval.
If the City’s approval is still current, the public needs to be shown the extensions.
Furthermore, if the map being reviewed is in the agenda packet, it is not clearly labeled.
6. As to the specifics of the proposed Resolution of Approval (which I don’t think should be
adopted at all):
a. Section 1.5 (handwritten page 11) has the land use nomenclature reversed: PC-47
is a Coastal Zoning District and MU-H/PR is a CLUP category (although there really
is no such separate category: CLUP Policy 2.1.8-1 permits uses on this site from a
mix of uses permitted in the MU-H and PR categories.
b. Section 2 (handwritten page 12) says “no substantial changes to the environmental
setting of the project or the project itself have occurred” since 2012. The
construction of the adjacent golf clubhouse with attendant increased activity was
obviously a fairly major change in the setting. It would appear it’s substantially larger
than the golf clubhouse analyzed in the MND referenced in the resolution. So it’s not
clear the cumulative impact of the two projects was ever properly considered.
c. Fact A.10 (handwritten page 14) asserts “The report considers the specific location
of the property as an inappropriate location for low cost accomodations [sic].” No
reason the site is inappropriate can be found in the resolution.
d. Fact B.1 (handwritten page 14), which I’m not sure is necessary, cites 1601 Bayside
Drive as the location of existing vertical public access to Newport Bay. Google
identifies 1601 Bayside Drive as the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club, which I thought
was at least semi-private.

Dear Zoning Committee,
I am writing to request postponement and reevaluation this project for two reasons.
1. I believe the 2012 city council vote to change tennis courts into hotel rooms for this project is a gross violation of
the trust of residents and voters in Newport Beach as well as a complete disregard for the General Plan. I cannot
fathom the logic and reasoning that make the two categories of tennis courts and hotel rooms interchangable.
2. The current plans for the site are vastly short of parking space in a confined area with no place for overflow
parking. The adjacent office parking lot is completely full during business hours. The plan includes a tennis club,
spa, restaurant, private homes and hotel rooms. The proposed hotel rooms are 1.72 to 7.53 times larger than the
average hotel room (330 square feet) in the USA with no commensurate increase in parking spaces for increased
occupancy . In Newport Beach every one drives their own car once they are over 16 years of age so every patron of
the tennis, spa, hotel, homes and restaurant facilties will require a parking space. This plan does not provide nearly
enough parking for the reality of Newport Beach life and will only make an already miserable parking and traffic
situation in L1 worse.
Thank you for your consideration.
