Environmental Significance An Environmental Impact Report was certified in conjunction with the adoption of the Traffic Phasing Plan for the Koll/Aetna Properties in Koll Center Newport. Staff has reviewed the proposed amendment and determined that there are no new significant environmental impacts not previously considered, nor has there been substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken. Phasing Plan The approved Phasing Plan for the Koll/Aetna properties allows for the following .phasing schedule: 1981 - Occupancy of a 7,650 sq.ft. addition to Koll Co. Corporate Headquarters 1983 - Occupancy of Phase I (,440' room Hotel and 225,198 sq.ft. of office/restaurant/retail use.) 1984 - Occupancy of Phase II (100,736 sq.ft. of office/restaurant use.) Staff Analysis The City Council is presently considering the Coast Highway Widening project and Draft EIR/EIS. Subsequent to the Council's review and recommendations, the reports will go to the State and then to the Federal Highway Administration. The proposed amendment to Condition No. 38 of the approved Traffic Phasing Plan will allow the Koll Company to occupy the buildings now under construction in the Koll Center Newport and contribute a sum equal to that required to make the intersection improvements. Staff feels that any action taken by the Planning Commission related to the changes to the Coast Highway/MacArthur Boulevard intersection would be premature, and therefore, recommends approval of this amendment. Suggested Action Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 2 to the Koll/Aetna Traffic Phasing Plan with the findings and subject to the revised Condition No. 38 as indicated in Exhibit "A".
