4533, AND 4647 MACARTHUR BOULEVARD (PA2014-225)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by Saunders Property Company (“Applicant”), with respect to
property located at 4341, 4361, and 4501 Birch Street; 4320, 4340, 4360, 4400, 4500,
4520, 4540, 4570, 4600 and 4630 Campus Drive; and 4525, 4533, and 4647 MacArthur
Boulevard within the northerly portion of the Campus Tract, generally bounded by Birch
Street, Campus Drive, MacArthur Boulevard and the extension of Corinthian Way
(“Property”). See Exhibit “A” for legal description.
2. The Applicant proposes a Planned Community Development Plan that would allow
redevelopment of the 16.46-acre Property with up to 329 residential dwelling units,
exclusive of any density bonus as allowed pursuant to California Government Code
Section 65915; and up to 297,572 square feet of office, retail, and commercial use
(“Project”).
3. The Property is designated AO (Airport Office and Supporting Uses) by the City of Newport
Beach General Plan (“General Plan”) Land Use Element and is located within the OA
(Office-Airport) Zoning District.
4. The Applicant, requests the following approvals from the City of Newport Beach (“City”):
• General Plan Amendment (GP2014-004) (“GPA”) – A request to change amend
the General Plan Land Use Designation of the Property from AO (Airport Office
and Supporting Uses) to MU-H2 Mixed-Use Horizontal 2 and to amend Table
LU2 (Anomaly Locations) to add Anomaly No. 86 to allow for the development of
329 dwelling units, exclusive of any permitted density bonus, and 297,572 square
feet of commercial uses;
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020
Page 2 of 24
• Zoning Code Amendment (CA2014-009) – A request to change the zoning
district of the Property from OA (Office Airport) to PC-60 (Newport Airport Village
Planned Community);
• Planned Community Development Plan (PC2020-002) (“PCDP”) – A request
to adopt the Newport Airport Village Planned Community Development Plan
(“PCDP”). The PCDP sets the development design and use standards for the
Property;
• Development Agreement (DA2014-003) (“DA”) – A request for a Development
Agreement between the Applicant and the City, which would provide vested rights
to develop the planned community, while also providing negotiated public
benefits; and
• Addendum to the 2006 General Plan Update and the 2014 Land Use Element
Amendment Environmental Impact Reports (ER2020-002) – Pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the addendum will address
reasonably foreseeable environmental impacts resulting from the Project.
5. The Property is not located within the coastal zone; therefore, amending the Local Coastal
Program or a coastal development permit is not required.
6. A study session was held on April 23, 2020, in the Council Chambers located at 100 Civic
Center Drive, Newport Beach to introduce the Project to the Planning Commission. No
action was taken at the study session.
7. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 4, 2020, in the Council Chambers
at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose
of the hearing was given in accordance with California Government Code Section 54950
et. seq. (“Ralph M. Brown Act”) and Chapters 15.45 (Development Agreements) and 20.62
(Public Hearings) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code (“NBMC”). Evidence, both written
and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this hearing.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. On July 25, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2006-75, thereby certifying the
adequacy and completeness of the Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) for the General
Plan 2006 Update (SCH No. 2006011119). The EIR was prepared in compliance with the
CEQA set forth in the California Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. and its
implementing State regulations set forth in the California Code of Regulations Title 14,
Division 6, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines”) and City Council Policy K-3. Additionally, in
accordance with Section 15168(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, the City prepared the EIR as
a Program Environmental Impact Report (“PEIR”). This PEIR analyzed the potential
impacts of a citywide land use plan, and the goals and policies of 10 general plan elements.
The General Plan designates the Property as AO (Airport Office and Supporting Uses).
The designation would allow up to 358,498 square feet of office based on the allowable
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020
Page 3 of 24
0.5 floor area ratio (“FAR”). The AO land use designation is intended to allow uses that
support or benefit from operations of the adjoining John Wayne Airport. These may include
professional offices; aviation; retail; automobile rental, sales, and service; hotels and
ancillary retail, restaurant, and service uses. This designation specifies an FAR of 0.5,
except for warehousing, which may be developed at an FAR of 0.75.
2. Additionally, the City Council adopted Resolution Nos. 2007-79 and 2012-62 on December
11, 2007 and July 24, 2012, respectively. These resolutions approved CEQA addendums
1 and 2 to the PEIR for the General Plan 2006 Update to analyze changes to the
development intensities within the North Newport Center Planned Community (NNCPC)
Development Plan. No analysis of the Property was included in these addendums.
3. On July 22, 2014, the City Council adopted Resolution 2014-65, thereby certifying the
adequacy and completeness of a Supplemental EIR No. ER2014-002 (SEIR) as part of an
update to the Land Use Element of the General Plan (SCH No. 2013101064). The SEIR
was prepared in compliance with CEQA, CEQA Guidelines and City Council Policy K-3.
The SEIR focused on a General Plan Land Use Element Amendment proposing both
reduced and increased development capacities in various areas of the City.
The amendment that was the focus of the SEIR designated the Property as MU-H2 (Mixed-
Use Horizontal 2), among other changes to the General Plan Land Use Element. The SEIR
analyzed the impacts of potential development of an additional 238,077 square feet of
office space and 329 dwelling units at the Property in addition to the 358,498 commercial
floor area allowed by the general plan prior to the amendment. The MU-H2 designation
applies to properties located in the Airport Area. It provides for a horizontal intermixing of
uses that may include regional commercial office, multifamily residential, vertical mixed-
use building, industrial, hotel rooms, and ancillary neighborhood commercial uses. As a
result of failing to obtain voter approval in the November 2014 general election, as required
by Charter Section 423, the General Plan Land Use Element amendment was not
approved or implemented; however, City Council Resolution No. 2014-65 certifying the
SEIR remains valid and effective because it was not rescinded by the outcome of the vote
or by action of the City Council.
4. Pursuant to Section 21166 of the California Public Resources Code and Section 15162
of the CEQA Guidelines, when an EIR has been certified for a project, no subsequent
EIR is required unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence
in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
a. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions
of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
effects;
b. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the
project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due
to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020
Page 4 of 24
c. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not
have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the
previous EIR was certified as complete, shows any of the following:
i. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous EIR;
ii. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe
than shown in the previous EIR;
iii. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible
would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to
adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
iv. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from
those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline
to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
5. The Applicant is proposing to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation from Airport
Office (AO) to Mixed Use Horizontal 2 (MU-H2) and to amend Table LU2 (Anomaly
Locations) to add the Property as Anomaly No. 86; and rezone the Property from OA
(Office Airport) to PC (Newport Airport Village Planned Community). This change will
allow the construction of 329 dwelling units, exclusive of any permitted density bonus,
and 297,572 square feet of commercial uses. The commercial floor area is a reduction
from what the General Plan currently would allow for the Property. The dwelling units
would come from the remaining portion of the 2200 units currently allocated to properties
designated MU-H2 in the Airport Area by the General Plan Land Use Element and the
units would not increase planned residential development in the area. Due to the
similarity between the proposed project and the prior project considered in the PEIR and
SEIR, an Addendum to the EIR was prepared pursuant to Section 15162 (Subsequent
EIRs and Negative Declarations) and 15164 (Addendum to an EIR or Negative
Declaration) of the CEQA Guidelines.
6. The following environmental topics were analyzed for the proposed Project: Aesthetics,
Agriculture and Forestry Resources, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural
Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and
Hazardous Materials, Hydrology, Land Use and Planning, Mineral Resources, Noise,
Population and Housing, Public Services, recreation, Transportation, Tribal Cultural
Resources and Utilities and Service Systems. The Addendum includes analysis of new
topics that were not included in the previous EIRs; specifically, it includes a new energy
section and a new wildfire section. These additional analyses are appropriate for inclusion
in the Addendum, but none result in new or increased significant impacts that would require
preparation of a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines.
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020
Page 5 of 24
7. On the basis of the entire environmental review record, the Project will not result in any
new significant impacts that were not previously analyzed in the PEIR for the General Plan
2006 Update (SCH No. 2006011119) or the SEIR for the update to the Land Use Element
of the General Plan (SCH No. 2013101064). The potential impacts associated with this
Project would either be the same or less than those described in either the PEIR or SEIR
that have been appropriately mitigated. In addition, there are no substantial changes to the
circumstances under which the Project would be undertaken that would result in new or
more severe environmental impacts than previously addressed in either the PEIR or SEIR,
nor has any new information regarding the potential for new or more severe significant
environmental impacts been identified. Therefore, in accordance with Section 15164 of the
CEQA Guidelines, an addendum to the previously adopted PEIR and SEIR is the
appropriate environmental document for the Project. In taking action to approve any of the
requested applications for the proposed Project, the data presented in the PEIR and SEIR,
as augmented by the Addendum for this Project, are considered as part of the record.
8. The Addendum to the PEIR and SEIR, is hereby recommended for adoption by the City
Council given its analysis and conclusions. The Addendum to the PEIR and SEIR and all
materials, which constitute the record upon which this decision was based, are on file with
the Planning Division, City Hall, 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, California.
9. 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.
SECTION 3. FINDINGS.
I. General Plan Amendment
Amendments to the General Plan are a legislative act. Neither Title 20 (Planning and Zoning)
of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the Charter of the City of Newport Beach, nor California
Government Code Section 65350 et seq. set forth any required findings for either approval or
denial of amendments to the General Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proposed
amendments are consistent with the General Plan for the reasons provided hereafter:
1. The request is to amend the General Plan Land Use designation from AO (Airport Office
and Supporting Services) to MU-H2 (Mixed-Use Horizontal 2). According to the General
Plan, “The MU-H2 designation applies to properties located in the Airport Area. It
provides for a horizontal intermixing of uses that may include regional commercial office,
multifamily residential, vertical mixed-use buildings, industrial, hotel rooms, and ancillary
neighborhood commercial uses.” The PCDP would provide for a combination of
residential development, airport supporting uses, and a variety of commercial land uses
consistent with the description of the MU-H2 land use category.
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020
Page 6 of 24
2. The GPA does not eliminate existing or future land uses to the overall detriment of the
community given the site’s size, location, and surrounding uses. Designating the
Property to MU-H2 without the development capacity allows the Property to be
developed with residential or mixed-use development consistent with other sites in the
Airport Area.
3. The GPA is consistent with the following General Plan policies (additional policy analysis
is included in the EIR Addendum attached hereto as Exhibit B):
a. Land Use Element Policy LU 1.1 - Unique Environment: Maintain and enhance the
beneficial and unique character of the different neighborhoods, business districts,
and harbor that together identify Newport Beach. Locate and design development to
reflect Newport Beach’s topography, architectural diversity, and view sheds.
The PCDP enhances the distinct, urban character of the Airport Area by providing a
means for replacing parking lots and small-scale commercial structures with
attractive and functional mixed-use development, in line with the General Plan goal
of transitioning the Airport Area to a mixed-use community. The Property is not in or
near any of the City’s areas featuring the harbor, unique topography, or view sheds.
The proposed project would introduce a mix of land uses, including residential units
to the Property consistent with the uses and urbanized character of the JWA area
and the MU-H2 designation.
b. Land Use Element Policy LU 2.3 - Range of Residential Choices: Provide
opportunities for the development of residential units that respond to community and
regional needs in terms of density, size, location, and cost. Implement goals, policies,
programs, and objectives identified within the City’s Housing Element.
c. LU 3.8 Project Entitlement Review with Airport Land Use Commission -. Refer the
adoption or amendment of the General Plan, Zoning Code, specific plans, and
Planned Community development plans for land within the John Wayne Airport
planning area, as established in the JWA Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP),
to the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) for Orange County for review, as
required by Section 21676 of the California Public Utilities Code. In addition, refer all
development projects that include buildings with a height greater than 200 feet above
ground level to the ALUC for review.
The project is within the boundaries of the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP).
The overseeing agency, ALUC, must review the proposed General Plan Amendment
and PCDP pursuant to Government Code §65302.3 and Public Utilities Code
§21676. The purpose of the review is to determine the project’s consistency with the
AELUP prior to the City Council taking action on the proposed project. The residential
units would be limited to a 6.02-acre portion of the 16.46-acre project site that is
subject to noise ranging between 60 dB CNEL and less than 65 dB CNEL and not
located within JWA Safety Zone 3. All residential types are deemed “conditionally
consistent” with nearby aircraft operations by AELUP provided sound attenuation is
provided and notification of future residents and the public is posted. The PCDP
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020
Page 7 of 24
includes regulations for sound attenuation and the posting of signs in outdoor
common areas and a neighborhood park if developed. The residential portion of the
project is located in JWA Safety Zone 6 and the AELUP allows residential uses in
that zone. The PCDP does not introduce any new noise-sensitive uses that are
inconsistent with AELUP Noise Impact Zones or compatibility qualities of the AELUP
Safety Zones. Despite the project’s consistency with the AELUP, the ALUC may find
the project inconsistent and should they do so, approval of the project would require
the Newport Beach City Council to override this determination with a two-thirds vote.
The PCDP allows for multi-family residential uses, including affordable units, offering
a variety of product types that can respond to market needs and diversify the City’s
housing stock.
d. Land Use Element Policy LU 5.1.1 - Compatible but Diverse Development: Establish
property development regulations for residential projects to create compatible and
high-quality development that contributes to neighborhood character.
The PCDP includes development standards and residential design guidelines to
create a compatible and high-quality development that contributes to the emerging
urban neighborhood character of the Airport Area.
e. Land Use Element Policy LU 5.4.1 - Site Planning: Require that new and renovated
office and retail development projects be planned to exhibit a high-quality and
cohesive “campus environment,” characterized by the following:
• Location of buildings around common plazas, courtyards, walkways, and
open spaces,
• Incorporation of extensive on-site landscaping that emphasizes special
features such as entryways,
• Use of landscape and open spaces to break the visual continuity of surface
parking lots,
• Common signage program for tenant identification and wayfinding,
• Common streetscapes and lighting to promote pedestrian activity,
• Readily observable site access, entrance drives and building entries and
minimized conflict between service vehicles, private automobiles, and
pedestrians.
The development of the Planned Community will result in high quality, cohesive
development based upon the PCDP regulations. Pedestrian and bicycle connections
are required between the residential areas and non-residential areas, primary access
to the residential buildings will face a public right-of-way or central courtyard, and
signs will be reviewed to ensure compatibility with the development.
f. LU 6.15.1. Land Use Districts and Neighborhoods. Provide for the development of
distinct business park, commercial, and airport-serving districts and residential
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020
Page 8 of 24
neighborhoods that are integrated to ensure a quality environment and compatible
land uses.
High quality, integrated development, including mixed use, residential, office, and
retail uses, is addressed through the Land Use and Development Regulations
(Section II), Architectural Design Considerations (Section III), and Residential Design
Guidelines (Section IV) sections of the PCDP provide a comprehensive set of
standards and guidelines to implement this policy.
g. LU 6.15.2. Underperforming Land Uses. Promote the redevelopment of sites with
underperforming retail uses located on parcels at the interior of large blocks for other
uses, with retail clustered along major arterials (e.g., Bristol, Campus, MacArthur,
and Jamboree), except where intended to serve and be integrated with new
residential development.
The PCDP facilitates the reuse of underperforming properties by allowing the
addition of mixed-use and residential use. Land Use and Development Regulations
(Section II), Architectural Design Considerations (Section III), and Residential Design
Guidelines (Section IV) provide a comprehensive set of standards and guidelines to
promote high-quality new development.
h. LU 6.15.3. Airport Compatibility. Require that all development be constructed in
conformance with the height restrictions set forth by Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77, and Caltrans Division of
Aeronautics, and that residential development be located outside of the 65 dBA
CNEL noise contour specified by the 1985 JWA Master Plan.
The Project would be constructed in conformance with the FAA’s height restrictions,
and all residential development would be located outside the 65 dBA CNEL noise
contour and outside the boundaries of Safety Zone 3 where high density residential
development is not allowed. The Applicant has received a determination of no hazard
to aviation with development up to 85 feet in height from the FAA.
i. LU 6.15.4 Priority Uses. Accommodate office, research and development, and
similar uses that support the primary office and business park functions such as retail
and financial services, as prescribed for the “CO-G” designation, while allowing for
the re-use of properties for the development of cohesive residential villages that are
integrated with business park uses.
Office and commercial uses would be compatible with residential uses in accordance
with the Land Use and Development Regulations (Section II) and Architectural
Design Considerations (Section III) of the PCDP. Residential uses would support
local retail, restaurants, and services. The PCDP design and connectivity
requirements would integrate residential and non-residential uses and ensure
adequate circulation and parking within the PC District.
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020
Page 9 of 24
j. LU 6.15.5 Residential and Supporting Uses. Accommodate the development of a
maximum of 2,200 multi-family residential units, including work force housing, and
mixed-use buildings that integrate residential with ground level office or retail uses,
along with supporting retail, grocery stores, and parklands. Residential units may be
developed only as the replacement of underlying permitted nonresidential uses.
When a development phase includes a mix of residential and nonresidential uses or
replaces existing industrial uses, the number of peak hour trips generated by
cumulative development of the site shall not exceed the number of trips that would
result from development of the underlying permitted nonresidential uses. However,
a maximum of 550 units may be developed as infill on surface parking lots or areas
not used as occupiable buildings on properties within the Conceptual Development
Plan Area depicted on Figure LU22 provided that the parking is replaced on site.
The GPA and PCDP provides development capacity and standards for mixed-use
development. The proposed development limit is 329 dwelling units (plus up 115
density bonus when affordable housing is provided) and 297,572 square feet for
commercial development. The Property is not located within the Conceptual
Development Plan Area depicted on Figure LU22, and therefore, any residential
units allocated to the site are not any portion of the 550 infill units allocated to the
Conceptual Development Plan Area As described in Chapter 3 of the Addendum,
the Project’s residential uses would replace some of the permitted underlying
commercial development capacity. Specifically, the 329 units would replace 60,926
square feet of permitted retail commercial uses using the City-approved Airport Area
Residential and Mixed-Use Adjustment factors prepared by the City Traffic Engineer
to ensure that the number of peak hour trips generated by the redevelopment of the
Property would not exceed the number of trips attributable to the existing permitted
non-residential uses. Any density bonus units, up to 115 units in this case are above
and beyond what the General Plan allocates in accordance with Chapter 20.32
(Density Bonus) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code and State law.
Two (2) projects have been approved within the Airport Area to date. Uptown
Newport was approved for 632 replacement units, 290 additive units, and with a
density bonus of 322 units for a total of 1,244 residential units. Newport Crossings
was approved for 259 replacement units and 91 density bonus units. Therefore, the
total remaining number of replacement units is 759 units and the 329 units requested
by the applicant would not exceed the remaining units to be allocated pursuant to
this policy. If approved, 430 replacement dwelling units would be available for other
MU-H2 (Mixed-Use Horizontal 2) designated properties in the Airport Area.
k. LU 6.15.6. Size of Residential Villages. Allow development of mixed-use residential
villages, each containing a minimum of 10 acres and centered on a neighborhood
park and other amenities (as conceptually illustrated in Figure LU23). The first phase
of residential development in each village shall encompass at least 5 gross acres of
land, exclusive of existing rights-of-way. This acreage may include multiple parcels
provided that they are contiguous or face one another across an existing street. At
the discretion of the City, this acreage may also include part of a contiguous property
in a different land use category, if the City finds that a sufficient portion of the
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020
Page 10 of 24
contiguous property is used to provide functionally proximate parking, open space,
or other amenity. The “Conceptual Development Plan” area shown on Figure LU22
shall be exempt from the 5-acre minimum, but a conceptual development plan
described in Policy LU 6.15.11 shall be required.
The Property is 16.46 acres in total area and does not include a centered public park.
The Property is not identified on Figure LU22 or Figure LU23. The first phase,
Planning Area 1, allows residential and mixed-use development is 7.14 acres and
would be developed in one phase. The remaining area would be developed in
subsequent phases after existing commercial leases expire. The Applicant requests
the City Council waive the park dedication requirement pursuant to Policy LU 6.15.13
and instead, pay the park in-lieu fee. If the City Council waives the dedication
requirement, the proposed project is consistent with this policy.
l. LU 6.15.7. Overall Density and Housing Types. Require that residential units be
developed at a minimum density of 30 units and maximum of 50 units per net acre
averaged over the total area of each residential village. Net acreage shall be
exclusive of existing and new rights-of-way, public pedestrian ways, and
neighborhood parks. Within these densities, provide for the development of a mix of
building types ranging from townhomes to high-rises to accommodate a variety of
household types and incomes and to promote a diversity of building masses and
scales.
The residential component of the Project is 329 units (without density bonus units)
within the 16.46-acre residential village and the density is about 20 du/ac and below
the minimum 30 du/ac standard. If the density bonus units were included, the result
would be about 27 du/ac. To comply, additional units would need to be included and
required to be replacement units pursuant to Policy LU 6.15.5, meaning the
additional units would come at the expense of underlying permitted non-residential
uses. The 16.46-acre Property is partially constrained by the JWA 65 dBA CNEL
noise contour and all residential use is inconsistent in this high noise area. The
Property is also partially constrained by JWA Safety Zones 3 that limits residential
uses to very low densities if not deemed unacceptable because of noise. Planning
Area 1 is 7.14 acres and the area outside both the 65 dBA CNEL noise contour and
Safety Zone 3 where residential use would be allowed consistent with the Airport
Environs Land Use Plan for JWA is further limited to 6.02 acres. To comply with the
Policy LU 6.15.7, 493 units would need to be constructed on 6.02 acres resulting in
a density of 81.9 du/ac units per acre without including potential density bonus units
which would exceed the maximum allowable density. However, California
Government Code Section 65915(e)(1) prohibits a City from applying a development
standard that will have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a
development for projects that propose a density bonus. Waiver of height standards,
number of stories and setbacks to accommodate project amenities such as an
interior courtyard, community plaza and high ceilings have been interpreted as
physical constraints that warrant waiver under Section 65915(e)(1). Wollmer v. City
of Berkeley, (2011) 193 Cal. App. 4th 1329. With the waiver of LU 6.15.7 pursuant
to Government Code §65915(e)(1), the 30-50 du/acre over the total area of each
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020
Page 11 of 24
residential village would not be required. However, the Project would create a 46
du/acre development not including the density bonus units in Planning Area 1 which
is within the density range of the Policy LU 6.15.7.
m. LU 6.15.8. First Phase Development Density. Require a residential density of 45 to
50 units per net acre, averaged over the first phase for each residential village. This
shall be applied to 100 percent of properties in the first phase development area
whether developed exclusively for residential or integrating service commercial
horizontally on the site or vertically within a mixed-use building. On individual sites,
housing development may exceed or be below this density to encourage a mix of
housing types, provided that the average density for the area encompassed by the
first phase is achieved.
The PCDP is divided into two (2) planning areas. Planning Area 1 allows residential
and mixed-use development and is 7.14 acres. Three hundred twenty-nine dwelling
units constructed over 7.14 acres results in a density of 46 du/acre which is
consistent with LU 6.15.8. Planning Area 2 allows commercial development only and
is 9.32 acres.
n. LU 6.15.9 Subsequent Phase Development Location and Density. Subsequent
phases of residential development shall abut the first phase or shall face the first
phase across a street. The minimum density of residential development (including
residential mixed-use development) shall be 30 units per net acre and shall not
exceed the maximum of 50 units per net acre averaged over the development phase.
The residential component of the PCDP in Planning Area 1 would be developed in
one phase and checked for consistency with this requirement. Planning Area 2 only
includes non-residential development. Therefore, there would be no subsequent
phases of residential development.
o. LU 6.15.12. Development Agreements. A Development Agreement shall be required
for all projects that include infill residential units. The Development Agreement shall
define the improvements and public benefits to be provided by the developer in
exchange for the City’s commitment for the number, density, and location of the
housing units.
The proposed project includes a development agreement which will be implemented
through the PCDP.
p. LU 6.15.13 Neighborhood Parks Standards. To provide a focus and identity for the
entire neighborhood and to serve the daily recreational and commercial needs of the
community within easy walking distance of homes, require dedication and
improvement of at least 8 percent of the gross land area (exclusive of existing rights-
of-way) of the first phase development in each neighborhood, or ½ acre, whichever
is greater, as a neighborhood park. This requirement may be waived by the City
where it can be demonstrated that the development parcels are too small to feasibly
accommodate the park or inappropriately located to serve the needs of local
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020
Page 12 of 24
residents, and when an in-lieu fee is paid to the City for the acquisition and
improvement of other properties as parklands to serve the Airport Area.
In every case, the neighborhood park shall be at least 8 percent of the total
Residential Village Area or one acre in area, whichever is greater, and shall have a
minimum dimension of 150 feet. Park acreage shall be exclusive of existing or new
rights-of-way, development sites, or setback areas. A neighborhood park shall satisfy
some or all of the requirements of the Park Dedication Ordinance, as prescribed by
the Recreation Element of the General Plan.
No park is proposed, and the Applicant asks the City Council to waive the
requirement. The Applicant believes the location proximate to John Wayne Airport is
inappropriate to serve the needs of the area and they have agreed to pay an in-lieu
fee consistent with this policy. A significant portion of the Property is impacted by
high noise levels and within JWA Safety Zone 3 and locating a park in such areas
may not be appropriate or desirable. Additionally, predominant uses in Planning Area
2 are vehicle storage lots for car rental agencies operating with long-term leases. Air
quality in the area and the limited residential density planned for the Airport Area are
also factors suggesting a new public park within the Property may not be desirable.
If the park dedication was required, the best potential location would be within
Planning Area 1 outside the 65 dBA noise contour and JWA Safety Zone 3 further
reducing the available land for residential or mixed-use development. In this
scenario, a 1-acre dedication of 6.02 acres of relatively unconstrained land is a
significant percentage of the area potentially available for residential use. If the
dedication were required in conjunction with the first phase density bonus
development, the cost of the dedication could render the density bonus financially
infeasible. These or other potential factors could provide sufficient grounds for the
City Council to waive the dedication requirement. If the City Council chooses not to
waive the parkland dedication requirement, development of the future park would be
required in accordance with this policy. With either outcome the City Council
chooses, neighborhood park dedication or waiver, the Project is consistent with LU
6.15.13.
q. LU 6.15.14 Location. Require that each neighborhood park is clearly public in
character and is accessible to all residents of the neighborhood. Each park shall be
surrounded by public streets on at least two sides (preferably with on-street parking
to serve the park), and shall be linked to residential uses in its respective
neighborhood by streets or pedestrian ways.
No public park is proposed, and the Applicant askes the City Council to waive the
neighborhood park dedication requirement pursuant to Policy 6.15.13 and, instead,
pay an in-lieu fee. If the City Council acts to waive the park dedication, this policy
would not apply. If the City Council chooses not to waive the parkland dedication,
development of the future park would be posted as a public park in accordance with
this policy.
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020
Page 13 of 24
r. LU 6.15.15. Aircraft Notification. Require that all neighborhood parks be posted with
a notification to users regarding proximity to John Wayne Airport and aircraft
overflight and noise.
The Project would comply with notification requirements related to aircraft overflight
and noise if parks are developed.
s. LU 6.15.16 On-Site Recreation and Open Space Standards. Require developers of
multi-family residential developments on parcels 8 acres or larger to provide on-site
recreational amenities. For these developments, 44 square feet of on-site
recreational amenities shall be provided for each dwelling unit in addition to the
requirements under the City’s Park Dedication Ordinance and in accordance with the
Parks and Recreation Element of the General Plan. On-site recreational amenities
can consist of public urban plazas or squares where there is the capability for
recreation and outdoor activity. These recreational amenities may also include
swimming pools, exercise facilities, tennis courts, and basketball courts. Where there
is insufficient land to provide on-site recreational amenities, the developer shall be
required to pay cash in-lieu that would be used to develop or upgrade nearby
recreation facilities to offset user demand as defined in the City’s Park Dedication
Fee Ordinance.
The acreage of on-site open space developed with residential projects may be
credited against the parkland dedication requirements where it is accessible to the
public during daylight hours, visible from public rights-of-way, and is of sufficient size
to accommodate recreational use by the public. However, the credit for the provision
of on-site open space shall not exceed 30 percent of the parkland dedication
requirements.
Section II of the PCDP requires 75 square feet of common open space per dwelling
unit in a future residential or mixed-use project and it exceeds the minimum standard.
Separate from the City’s park dedication and/or in-lieu requirement under the
General Plan, Chapter 19.52 (Park Dedications and Fees) of the NBMC also require
park dedication and/or in-lieu fees in accordance with California Government Code
Section 66477 et seq. also referred to as the Quimby Act. However, Chapter 19.52
only applies to subdivisions or condominiums. While the Applicant plans the
construction of apartments that would not generate a park dedication requirement,
condominium development would be allowed by the PCDP. Should a condominium
project be proposed, it would be subject to NBMC Chapter 19.52. Should a future
residential development include publicly accessible open space that meets the policy
criteria, the Applicant could request a credit toward parkland dedication requirements
(if any). Please refer to the discussion of Policy LU 6.15.13 for additional analysis
regarding park dedication requirements.
t. LU 6.15.17 Street and Pedestrian Grid. Create a pattern of streets and pedestrian
ways that breaks up large blocks, improves connections between neighborhoods
and community amenities, and is scaled to the predominantly residential character
of the neighborhoods.
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020
Page 14 of 24
Any new streets and pedestrian ways in the PC District would be designed to break
up large blocks, improve connections and links between uses and be scaled to the
residential component of the PC District in Planning Area 1, as described in the Land
Use and Development Regulations (Section II) and Architectural Design
Considerations (Section III), of the PCDP. The City would confirm compliance during
future Site Development Review process.
u. LU 6.15.21 Required Spaces for Primary Uses. Consider revised parking
requirements that reflect the mix of uses in the neighborhoods and overall Airport
Area, as well as the availability of on-street parking.
Future development will be required to comply with City of Newport Beach Municipal
Code parking requirements, including Section 20.32.040 of the Newport Beach
Municipal Code for a density bonus project. The City will confirm compliance with
these standards during Site Development Review.
4. City Council Policy A-18 requires that proposed GPAs be reviewed to determine if a vote
of the electorate would be required pursuant to Section 423 of the City Charter. If a GPA
(separately or cumulatively with other GPAs within the previous ten (10) years)
generates more than one hundred (100) peak hour trips (a.m. or p.m.), adds forty
thousand (40,000) square feet of nonresidential floor area, or adds more than one
hundred (100) dwelling units in a statistical area, a vote of the electorate would be
required if the City Council approves the GPA.
a. The Property is located in Statistical Area L4. The GPA would change the land use
designation only and not result in an increase in development. The 329 dwelling units
requested are already included in the MU-H2 development capacity of 2,200 dwelling
units and no increase in allowed floor area is proposed. Consequently, there is no
increase in a.m. or p.m. peak hour trips pursuant to the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (“ITE”) trip rates included as Exhibit B of City Council Policy A-18. As a
result, the amendment is not classified as a major amendment requiring a vote of the
electorate should the City Council choose to approve the GPA.
5. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65352.3 (SB18), a local government
is required to contact the appropriate tribes identified by the Native American Heritage
Commission (“NAHC”) each time it considers a proposal to adopt or amend the General
Plan. If requested by any tribe, the local government must consult for the purpose of
preserving or mitigating impacts to cultural resources. The City received comments from
the NAHC indicating that four (4) tribal contacts should be provided notice regarding the
GPA. The tribal contacts were provided notice on April 29, 2020. California Government
Code Section 65352.3 requires notification 90 days prior to Council action to allow tribal
contacts to respond to the request to consult. The City was not contacted by any tribal
contacts to date. SB 18 requires tribal consultation to be closed prior to the approval of
the general plan amendment. Accordingly, consultation must be closed prior to City
Council action on the GPA.
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-020

II. Zoning Code Amendment and Planned Community Development Plan
Amendments to Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the NBMC are legislative acts. Neither
Chapters 20.66 (Amendments) and 20.56 (Planned Community Development District
Procedures) of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the
Charter of the City of Newport Beach, nor Article 2 (Adoption of Regulations) of Chapter 4
(Zoning Regulations) of Division 1 (Planning and Zoning) of Title 7 (Planning and Land Use) of
the California Government Code set forth any required findings for either approval or denial of
amendments to the Municipal Code. Nevertheless, rezoning the Property to PC-60 is
consistent with the purpose of Planned Community Districts as specified in NBMC Section
20.56.010 for the following reasons:
1. PC-60 provides for the classification and development of 16.46 acres developed land.
Permitted and conditionally permitted uses include residential, commercial, and airport
supporting uses have been classified. Furthermore, development and use standards
have been included in the PC to ensure future use of the Property does not impact the
surrounding area.
2. In order to allow the diversification of uses, the PC-60 provides two planning areas;
Planning Area 1 allows residential and mixed-use development, while Planning Area 2
allows nonresidential development. This allows future development of the PC to be
consistent with the goals and policies of the MU-H2 land use designation horizontal
mixed-use standards. To ensure the two planning areas relate to each other and can be
integrated, the PC-60 requires internal pedestrian and bicycle connection.
3. The future development of the Property affected by the proposed amendments will be
consistent with the goals and policies of the Land Use Element of the General Plan; and
will be consistent with the purpose and intent of the PC-60 Development Plan.
III. Development Agreement
Development Agreement No. DA2014-003 satisfies the requirements of Chapter 15.45
(Development Agreements) of the NBMC as provided hereafter:
1. A development agreement is requested by the Applicant, as the Project would add more
than 50 dwelling units within Statistical Area L4 (Airport Area). The development
agreement includes all the mandatory elements including a term of 15 years for the
residential portion of the proposed project and 20 years for the commercial portion and
public benefits that are appropriate to support conveying the vested development rights
consistent with the General Plan, NBMC, and Government Code Sections 65864 et seq.
2. Public benefits include the payment of a $1,000,000 public safety fee to satisfy any
obligation the Project could have to provide new emergency response services or Fire
Department equipment to serve the Airport Area whether a Community Facilities District
is formed or not. The applicant has also agreed to pay a separate public benefit fee to
be used by the City Council as it deems appropriate.

SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Planning Commission of the City hereby recommends the City Council of the City
adopt Environmental Impact Report Addendum No. ER2020-002 to the 2006 General
Plan Update (SCH No. 2006011119) and the 2014 Land Use Element Amendment (SCH
No. 2013101064) Environmental Impact Reports, as depicted in Exhibit “B.”
2. The Planning Commission of the City hereby recommends the City Council of the City
approve General Plan Amendment No. GP2014-004 as depicted in Exhibit “C,” to
change the Land Use Designation of the Property from AO (Airport Office and Supporting
Uses) to MU-H2 (Mixed-Use Horizontal 2 and to amend Table LU2 (Anomaly Locations)
to add a portion of the Property as an anomaly to allow for the development of 329
dwelling units, exclusive of any permitted density bonus.
3. The Planning Commission hereby recommends the granting of a waiver of the
neighborhood park dedication requirement pursuant to General Plan Policy LU 6.15.13
as a public park within the project site would be inappropriately located due to the
proximity with John Wayne Airport.
4. The Planning Commission of the City hereby recommends the City Council of the City
approve Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2014-009, to rezone the Property from OA
(Office Airport) to PC-60 (Newport Airport Village Planned Community), as depicted in
Exhibit “D.”
5. The Planning Commission of the City hereby recommends the City Council of the City
approve Planned Community Development Plan No. PC2020-002 (Zoning) as depicted
in Exhibit “E” to set the permitted uses, development standards, and design guidelines
for the Property.
6. The Planning Commission hereby recommends the granting of a waiver of the density
standards provided in General Plan Policy LU 6.15.7 pursuant to Government Code
§65915(e)(1) as it would make a density bonus project infeasible.
7. The Planning Commission of the City hereby recommends the City Council of the City
approve Development Agreement No. DA2014-003, as set forth in Exhibit “F.”

NEWPORT AIRPORT VILLAGE
PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN (PCDP)
I. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
A. Introduction
The Newport Airport Village Planned Community Development Plan (PCDP) (PC-60) is
envisioned to be a horizontal mixed-use development on an approximately 16.46-acre
site that is located in the northern portion of the City, near Macarthur Blvd and Campus
Drive. The City of Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) allows a Planned Community
Development Plan to address land use designations and regulations in Planned
Communities. The PCDP serves as the controlling zoning ordinance for the site and is
authorized and intended to implement the provisions of the Newport Beach General Plan.
The maximum buildout of the PCDP would result in 329 residential dwelling units,
exclusive of any density bonus as allowed pursuant to California Government Code
Section 65915; and 297,572 square feet of office, retail, and commercial use.
The Newport Airport Village Planned Community (PC) consists of approximately 16.46
acres and prior to the development pursuant to this PCDP, a variety of commercial
services, including: retail, restaurants, offices, rental car agencies, and other similar uses
were developed. The Newport Airport Village Design Guidelines (contained herein)
provide a conceptual vision of the physical implementation of the project and have been
drafted to assist the City and community to visualize the architectural theme and desired
character of the development. The Design Guidelines also provides the visual and mental
imagery of what the current property owner and City see for the future development of
the PC.
B. Location
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the PC District is generally located southeast of John Wayne
Airport and within the “Airport Area” Sub-Area as defined by the Newport Beach General
Plan. The Airport Area includes 360 acres in the northernmost portion of Newport Beach,
bounded by Campus Drive to the west and north, Jamboree Road to the east, and Bristol
Street to the south. The City of Irvine is located north and east of the Airport Area. T he
Airport Area is proximate to Interstate 405 and State Routes 55 and 73. The Airport Area
initially was a light industrial and commercial office area of Newport Beach, but is
gradually redeveloping into a mixed-use community integrating residential development
with existing non-residential uses consistent with the 2006 Newport Beach General Plan.
I. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE

I. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
Newport Airport Village 3
More specifically, the PC is located west of MacArthur Boulevard, south of Campus Drive,
north of Birch Street, and about 550 feet north of Dove Street, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 3 - Newport Airport Village Planned Community
As also noted in Figure 3, the 65-dBA CNEL noise contour line for John Wayne Airport
(JWA) transects the site. Areas east of (i.e., outside) the 65 dBA CNEL line are “Clearly
Compatible” or “Normally Compatible” with multi-family residential and mixed-use
development under General Plan Table N2 (Land Use Noise Compatibility Matrix). Areas
west of (i.e., inside) the 65 dBA CNEL line are “Normally incompatible” or “Clearly
incompatible” with multi-family residential and mixed-use development under General
Plan Table N2. Under the Airport Environs Land Use Plan for John Wayne Airport (AELUP),
this means that areas west of the 65 dBA CNEL line are deemed suitable for residential
uses and other noise-sensitive uses if the interior noise standard of 45 dBA CNEL can be
maintained with an accompanying dedication of a avigation easement for noise .
Additionally, building heights west of the 65 dBA CNEL line are restricted for aviation
safety.
C. Surrounding Area
John Wayne Airport, a commercial and general aviation airport that is owned and
operated by the County of Orange, is located to the west and north of the site (across
I. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
Newport Airport Village 4
Campus Dr). To the immediate northeast of the site, on the southwest corner of
MacArthur Blvd and Campus Dr, is a five-story office building and a small multi-tenant
commercial building. Across MacArthur Boulevard, on the northeast corner of MacArthur
Blvd and Campus Dr, is a nine-story office building that contains professional and medical
office uses; a five-story apartment building at the intersection of Douglas and Martin
Court; and multiple hotels and restaurants along MacArthur Blvd. To the east (across Birch
St) are several multi-story office buildings that range from three to fourteen stories,
hotels, and retail and restaurant uses. Commercial services, including vehicle sales and
repairs and a pharmacy; restaurants; and office uses, including medical offices occupy the
properties to the south of the PC.
D. Purpose and Objective
The purpose of the PCDP is to establish appropriate zoning regulations that govern the
land use and development of the PC in a manner that is consistent with the City of
Newport Beach General Plan. Implementation of the PCDP will:
− Provide a quality mixed-use development that includes residential and supporting
commercial uses; as well as, commercial uses that support or benefit from the
proximity to the airport.
− Create two planning areas to guide the development of the PC District (see Figure
4). Planning Area 1 will include the residential and, potentially, a complimentary
retail or service commercial component of the PC District. Planning Area 2 will
consist exclusively of non-residential uses.
− Provide new housing opportunities in response to increased demand for housing,
reduction of vehicle trips, and an encouragement of an active lifestyle by
increasing the opportunity for residents to live in proximity to jobs, services, and
entertainment. Such housing will be proximate to, and interconnected with,
commercial development through pedestrian walkways provided by future
development within the PCDP.
− Ensure all residential units are located outside the John Wayne Airport 65 dBA
CNEL noise contour and Safety Zone 3.
E. Relationship to Other Regulations
Whenever the provisions of this PCDP conflict with the regulations of the NBMC, the
regulations contained herein will prevail. The NBMC including the Zoning Code apply and
shall also regulate this development whenever regulations are not provided within this
PCDP. Unless otherwise defined herein, all words and phrases used in this PCDP shall have
the same meaning and definition as used in the NBMC.

taken and that Developer has the legal authority to enter into this Agreement; (v) that
Developer’s entering into and performing its obligations set forth in this Agreement will not

entity comprising Developer has to any third party; and (vi) that neither Developer nor any co-
owner comprising Developer is currently the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy

2.4 Term.
The term of this Agreement (“Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall
terminate on the “Termination Date.”
Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, if any
Party reasonably determines that the Effective Date of this Agreement will not occur because, for
example, (i) the Adopting Ordinance or any of the Development Regulations approved on or
before the Agreement Date for the Project has/have been disapproved by City’s voters at a
referendum election or (ii) a final non-appealable judgment is entered in a judicial action
challenging the validity or legality of the Adopting Ordinance, this Agreement, and/or any of the
Development Regulations for the Project approved on or before the Agreement Date such that
this Agreement and/or any of such Development Regulations is/are invalid and unenforceable in
whole or in such a substantial part that the judgment substantially impairs such Party’s rights or
substantially increases its obligations or risks hereunder or thereunder, then such Party, in its sole
and absolute discretion, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon delivery of a
written notice of termination to the other Party, in which event neither Party shall have any
further rights or obligations hereunder except that Developer’s indemnity obligations set forth in
Article 10 shall remain in full force and effect and shall be enforceable, and the Development
Regulations applicable to the Project and the Property only (but not those general Development
Regulations applicable to other properties in the City) shall be repealed by the City after delivery
of said notice of termination except for the Development Regulations that have been disapproved
by City’s voters at a referendum election and, therefore, never took effect.
The Termination Date shall be the earliest of the following dates: (i) the fifteenth (15th)
anniversary of the Effective Date for the residential portion and the twentieth (20th) anniversary
for the non-residential portion; (ii) such earlier date that this Agreement may be terminated in
accordance with Articles 5, and 7, and/or Section 8.3 of this Agreement and/or Sections 65865.1

performance, and payment, as applicable, of all Development Exactions, the issuance of all
8
required final occupancy permits, and acceptance by City or applicable public agency(ies) or
private entity(ies) of all required offers of dedication.
Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, the
provisions set forth in Article 10 and Section 14.11 (as well as any other Developer obligations
set forth in this Agreement that are expressly written to survive the Termination Date) shall
survive the Termination Date of this Agreement.
3. Public Benefits.
3.1 Public Benefit Fee.
As consideration for City’s approval and performance of its obligations set forth in this
Agreement, Developer shall pay to City a fee in the amount of Six Million Dollars and 00/100
($6,000,000), which shall be in addition to any other fee or charge to which the Property and the
Project would otherwise be subject.
The Developer shall pay Two Million Dollars and 00/100 ($2,000,000) of the Public
Benefit Fee to the City within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of the Agreement ; Two
Million Dollars and 00/100 ($2,000,000) of the Public Benefit Fee at the time the City issues the
Project’s first building permit; and Two Million Dollars and 00/100 ($2,000,000) of the Public
Benefit Fee to the City at the time of issuance of the first certificate of occupancy or temporary
occupancy permit. Should the Developer fail to pay the Public Benefit Fee at the times provided
above, the Developer shall be in default of the Agreement, as further described in Article 8 of
this Agreement.
The amount of the Public Benefit Fee shall be increased based upon percentage increases
in the CPI Index. The first CPI adjustment to the Public Benefit Fee shall occur on the third
anniversary of the City Council’s adoption of the Adopting Ordinance (the first “Adjustment
Date”) and subsequent CPI adjustments shall occur on each anniversary of the first Adjus tment
Date thereafter until expiration of the Term of this Agreement (each, an “Adjustment Date”).
The amount of the CPI adjustment on the first Adjustment Date shall be the percentage increase
in the CPI Index between the second anniversary of the City Council’s adoption of the Adopting
Ordinance and the third anniversary of the City Council’s adoption of the Adopting Ordinance.
The amount of the CPI adjustment on each subsequent Adjustment Date shall be the percentage
increase between said Adjustment Date and the immediately preceding Adjustment Date. The
amount of the percentage increase in the CPI Index on the applicable Adjustment Dates shall in
each instance be calculated based on the then most recently available CPI Index figures such
that, for example, if the first Adjustment Date occurs on September 1, 2020, and the most
recently available CPI Index figure on that date is the CPI Index for July 2020 (2 months prior to
the first Adjustment Date), the percentage increase in the CPI Index on the first Adjustment Date
shall be calculated by comparing the CPI Index for July 2019 with the CPI Index for July 2020.
In no event, however, shall application of the CPI Index on any Adjustment Date reduce the
amount of the Public Benefit Fee (or unpaid portion thereof) below the amount in effect prior to
that Adjustment Date. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement to the
contrary, during the Term of this Agreement City shall not increase the Public Benefit Fee except
pursuant to the CPI Index as stated in this Section 3.1.
9
The City has not designated a specific project or purpose for the Public Benefit Fee.
Developer acknowledges by its approval and execution of this Agreement that it is voluntarily
agreeing to pay the Public Benefit Fee and the fees identified in Section 3.2 below, that its
obligation to pay the Public Benefit Fee or the fees in Section 3.2 is an essential term of this
Agreement and is not severable from City’s obligations and Developer’s vested rights to be
acquired hereunder, and that Developer expressly waives any constitutional, statutory, or
common law right it might have in the absence of this Agreement to protest or challenge the
payment of the Public Benefits identified in this Section 3.1 on any ground whatsoever,
including without limitation pursuant to the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United
States Constitution, California Constitution Article I Section 19, the Mitigation Fee Act
(California Government Code Section 66000 et seq.), or otherwise. In addition to any other
remedy set forth in this Agreement for Developer’s default, if Developer shall fail to timely pay
any portion of the Public Benefits identified in this Section 3.1 when due, City shall have the
right to withhold issuance of any further building permits, occupancy permits, or other
development or building permits for the Project.
3.1.1 Public Benefit Fee Allocation.
The City Council retains sole and absolute discretion to determine how the Public
Benefit Fee shall be allocated and no final decisions have been made as of the Agreement Date.
3.2 Other Public Benefits. In addition to the Public Benefit Fee, the direct and
indirect benefits City expects to receive pursuant to this Development Agreement are as follows:
3.2.1 Park Land. The park land dedication requirement for the Project pursuant to the
City General Plan Land Use Policy 6.5.13 is one (1) acre. City acknowledges that Developer's
performance of its obligations as set forth in this section satisfies all of Developer's General Plan,
Quimby Act and Municipal Code Chapter 19.52 obligations governing park land dedication and
fees. City acknowledges that Developer shall be eligible to receive credit against the payment of
fees or dedication of land consistent with the General Plan. As of the Effective Date, the
established fair market value for one (1) acre of land used in assessing in-lieu of park dedication
fees equals Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($2,500,000). Developer
fees and credit shall be based on the established Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
and 00/100 ($2,500,000) per acre. In lieu of dedicating land, the Developer shall pay one-half of
the park dedication fee at the time the first building permit(s) is issued for any residential unit
and the second-half to be paid at the time the first building permit(s) is issued for the non-
residential portion of the Project.
3.2.2 Public Safety Fee. Developer shall pay a public safety fee in the amount of One
Million Dollars and 00/100 ($1,000,000) to be used, at City’s discretion, to fund the cost of
staffing, services and equipment as necessary for fire related public safety purposes. The fee
shall be paid at the time the first building permit is issued.
3.3 Reserved.
10
4. Development of Project.
4.1 Applicable Regulations; Developer’s Vested Rights and City’s Reservation of
Discretion With Respect to Subsequent Development Approvals.
Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, during the Term of this Agreement,
(i) Developer shall have the vested right to Develop the Project on and with respect to the
Property in accordance with the terms of the Development Regulations and this Agreement and
(ii) City shall not prohibit or prevent development of the Property on grounds inconsistent with
the Development Regulations or this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
is intended to limit or restrict the City’s discretion with respect to (i) those review and approval
requirements contained in the Development Regulations, (ii) the exercise of any discretionary
authority City retains under the Development Regulations, (iii) the approval, conditional
approval, or denial of any Subsequent Development Approvals that are required for
Development of the Project as of the Effective Date, or (iv) any environmental approvals that
may be required under CEQA or any other federal or state law or regulation in conjunction with
any Subsequent Development Approvals that may be required for the Project, and in this regard,
as to future actions in connection with the Subsequent Development Approvals, the City reserves
its full discretion to the same extent that it would have such discretion in the absence of this
Agreement. In addition, it is understood and agreed that nothing in this Agreement is intended to
vest Developer’s rights with respect to any laws, regulations, rules, or official policies of any
other (i.e., non-City) governmental agency or public utility company with jurisdiction over the
Property or the Project; or any applicable federal or state laws, regulations, rules, or official
policies that may be inconsistent with this Agreement and that override or supersede the
provisions set forth in this Agreement, and regardless of whether such overriding or superseding
laws, regulations, rules, or official policies are adopted or applied to the Property or the Project
prior or subsequent to the Agreement Date.
Developer has expended and will continue to expend substantial amounts of time and
money planning and preparing for Development of the Project. Developer represents, and City
acknowledges, that Developer would not make these expenditures without this Agreement, and
that Developer is and will be making these expenditures in reasonable reliance upon its vested
rights to Develop the Project as set forth in this Agreement.
Developer may apply to City for permits or approvals necessary to modify or amend the
Development specified in the Development Regulations, without amending this Agreement,
provided that the request does not propose an increase in the maximum density, intensity, height,
or size of proposed structures, or a change in use that generates more peak hour traffic or more
daily traffic and, in addition, Developer may apply to City for approval of minor amendments to
the existing tentative tract map, if any, or associated conditions of approval, consistent with City
of Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 19.12.090. This Agreement does not constitute a
promise or commitment by City to approve any such permit or approval, or to approve the same
with or without any particular requirements or conditions, and City's discretion with respect to
such matters shall be the same as it would be in the absence of this Agreement.
4.2 No Conflicting Enactments.
11
Except to the extent City reserves its discretion as expressly set forth in this Agreement,
during the Term of this Agreement City shall not apply to the Project or the Property any
ordinance, policy, rule, regulation, or other measure relating to Development of the Project that
is enacted or becomes effective after the Effective Date to the extent it conflicts with this
Agreement or Developer consents in writing. This Section 4.2 shall not restrict City’s ability to
enact an ordinance, policy, rule, regulation, or other measure applicable to the Project pursuant to
California Government Code Section 65866 consistent with the procedures specified in Section
4.3 of this Agreement. In Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Cal.3d 465,
the California Supreme Court held that a construction company was not exempt from a city’s
growth control ordinance even though the city and construction company had entered into a
consent judgment (tantamount to a contract under California law) establishing the company’s
vested rights to develop its property consistent with the zoning. The California Supreme Court
reached this result because the consent judgment failed to address the timing of development.
The Parties intend to avoid the result of the Pardee case by acknowledging and providing in this
Agreement that Developer shall have the vested right to Develop the Project on and with respect
to the Property at the rate, timing, and sequencing that Developer deems appropriate within the
exercise of Developer’s sole subjective business judgment, provided that such Development
occurs in accordance with this Agreement and the Development Regulations, notwithstanding
adoption by City’s electorate of an initiative to the contrary after the Effective Date. No City
moratorium or other similar limitation relating to the rate, timing, or sequencing of the
Development of all or any part of the Project and whether enacted by initiative or another
method, affecting subdivision maps, building permits, occupancy certificates, or other
entitlement to use, shall apply to the Project to the extent such moratorium or other similar
limitation restricts Developer’s vested rights in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the
express provisions of this Agreement.
4.3 Reservations of Authority.
Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, the laws,
rules, regulations, and official policies set forth in this Section 4.3 shall apply to and govern the
Development of the Project on and with respect to the Property.
4.3.1 Procedural Regulations. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement,
procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices, findings,
records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals, and any other matter of procedure shall
apply to the Property, provided that such procedural regulations are adopted and applied City-
wide or to all other properties similarly situated in City.
4.3.2 Processing and Permit Fees. City shall have the right to charge, and
Developer shall be required to pay, all applicable processing and permit fees to cover the
reasonable cost to City of processing and reviewing applications and plans for any required
Subsequent Development Approvals, building permits, excavation and grading permits,
encroachment permits, and the like, for performing necessary studies and reports in connection
therewith, inspecting the work constructed or installed by or on behalf of Developer, and
monitoring compliance with any requirements applicable to Development of the Project, all at
the rates in effect at the time fees are due.
12
4.3.3 Consistent Future City Regulations. City ordinances, resolutions,
regulations, and official policies governing Development which do not conflict with the
Development Regulations, or with respect to such regulations that do conflict, where Developer
has consented in writing to the regulations, shall apply to the Property.
4.3.4 Development Exactions Applicable to Property. During the Term of this
Agreement, Developer shall be required to satisfy and pay all Development Exactions at the time
performance or payment is due to the same extent and in the same amount(s) that would apply to
Developer and the Project in the absence of this Agreement. City shall not alter, increase, or
modify said Development Exaction in a manner that is inconsistent with this Agreement, the
Project’s conditions of approval, or the Development Regulations without Developer’s prior
written consent or as may be otherwise required pursuant to overriding federal or state laws or
regulations (Section 4.3.5 below). In addition, nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be
deemed to vest Developer against the obligation to pay any of the following (which are not
included within the definition of “Development Exactions”) in the full amount that would apply
in the absence of this Agreement: (i) City’s normal fees for processing, environmental
assessment and review, tentative tract and parcel map review, plan checking, site review and
approval, administrative review, building permit, grading permit, inspection, and similar fees
imposed to recover City’s costs associated with processing, reviewing, and inspecting project
applications, plans, and specifications, including CEQA review; (ii) fees and charges levied by
any other public agency, utility, district, or joint powers authority, regardless of whether City
collects those fees and charges; or (iii) community facility district special taxes or special district
assessments or similar assessments, business license fees, bonds or other security required for
public improvements, transient occupancy taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, sewer lateral
connection fees, water service connection fees, new water meter fees, and the Property
Development Tax payable under Section 3.12 of City’s Municipal Code.
4.3.5 Overriding Federal and State Laws and Regulations. Federal and state
laws and regulations that override Developer’s vested rights set forth in this Agreement shall
apply to the Property, together with any City ordinances, resolutions, regulations, and official
policies that are necessary to enable City to comply with the provisions of any such overriding
federal or state laws and regulations, provided that (i) Developer does not waive its right to
challenge or contest the validity of any such purportedly overriding federal, state, or City law or
regulation; and (ii) upon the discovery of any such overriding federal, state, or City law or
regulation that prevents or precludes compliance with any provision of this Agreement, City or
Developer shall provide to the other Party a written notice identifying the federal, state, or City
law or regulation, together with a copy of the law or regulation and a brief written statement of
the conflict(s) between that law or regulation and the provisions of this Agreement. Promptly
thereafter, City and Developer shall meet and confer in good faith in a reasonable attempt to
determine whether a modification or suspension of this Agreement, in whole or in part, is
necessary to comply with such overriding federal, state, or City law or regulation. In such
negotiations, City and Developer agree to preserve the terms of this Agreement and the rights of
Developer as derived from this Agreement to the maximum feasible extent while resolving the
conflict. City agrees to cooperate with Developer at no cost to City in resolving the conflict in a
manner which minimizes any financial impact of the conflict upon Developer. City also agrees
to process in a prompt manner Developer’s proposed changes to the Project and any of the
Development Regulations as may be necessary to comply with such overriding federal, state, or
13
City law or regulation; provided, however, that the approval of such changes by City shall be
subject to the discretion of City, consistent with this Agreement.
4.3.6 Public Health and Safety. Any City ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation,
program, or official policy that is necessary to protect persons on the Property or in the
immediate vicinity from conditions dangerous to their health or safety, as reasonably determined
by City, shall apply to the Property, even though the application of the ordinance, resolution, rule
regulation, program, or official policy would result in the impairment of Developer’s vested
rights under this Agreement.
4.3.7 Uniform Building Standards. Existing and future building and building-
related standards set forth in the building standard codes adopted and amended by City from
time-to-time, including building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, housing, swimming pool, and
fire codes, and any modifications and amendments thereof shall all apply to the Project and the
Property to the same extent that the same would apply in the absence of this Agreement.
4.3.8 Public Works Improvements. To the extent Developer constructs or
installs any public improvements, works, or facilities, the City standards in effect for such public
improvements, works, or facilities at the time of City’s issuance of a permit, license, or other
authorization for construction or installation of same shall apply.
4.3.9 No Guarantee or Reservation of Utility Capacity. Notwithstanding any
other provision set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement is intended
or shall be interpreted to require City to guarantee or reserve to or for the benefit of Developer or
the Property any utility capacity, service, or facilities that may be needed to serve the Project,
whether domestic or reclaimed water service, sanitary sewer transmission or wastewater
treatment capacity, downstream drainage capacity, or otherwise, and City shall have the right to
limit or restrict Development of the Project if and to the extent that City reasonably determines
that inadequate utility capacity exists to adequately serve the Project at the time Development is
scheduled to commence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, City covenants to provide utility
services to the Project on a non-discriminatory basis (i.e., on the same terms and conditions that
City undertakes to provide such services to other similarly situated new developments in the City
of Newport Beach as and when service connections are provided and service commences).
4.4 Tentative Subdivision Maps.
City agrees that Developer may file and process new and existing vesting tentative maps
for the Property consistent with California Government Code sections 66498.1-66498.9 and City
of Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 19.20. Developer agrees that filing and issuance of a
new subdivision map may trigger additional development impact fees. Pursuant to the applicable
provision of the California Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code section
66452.6(a)), the life of any tentative subdivision map approved for the Property, whether
designated a “vesting tentative map” or otherwise, shall be extended for the Term of this
Agreement.
5. Amendment or Cancellation of Agreement.
This Agreement may be amended or canceled in whole or in part only by mutual written
and executed consent of the Parties in compliance with California Government Code Section
14
65868 and Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 15.45.070 or by unilateral termination by
City in the event of an uncured default of Developer.
6. Enforcement.
Unless amended or canceled pursuant to California Government Code Section 65868,
Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 15.45.070, or modified or suspended pursuant to
Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 15.45 or California Government Code Section 65869.5,
and except as otherwise provided in subdivision (b) of Section 65865.3, this Agreement shall be
enforceable by either Party despite any change in any applicable general or specific plan, zoning,
subdivision, or building regulation or other applicable ordinance or regulation adopted by City
(including by City’s electorate) that purports to apply to any or all of the Property.
7. Annual Review of Developer’s Compliance With Agreement.
7.1 General.
City shall review this Agreement once during every twelve (12) month period following
the Effective Date for compliance with the terms of this Agreement as provided in Government
Code section 65865.1. Developer (including any successor to the owner executing this
Agreement on or before the date of the Adopting Ordinance) shall pay City a reasonable fee in
an amount City may reasonably establish from time-to-time to cover the actual and necessary
costs for the annual review. City’s failure to timely provide or conduct an annual review shall
not constitute a Default hereunder by City.
7.2 Developer Obligation to Demonstrate Good Faith Compliance.
During each annual review by City, Developer is required to demonstrate good faith
compliance with the terms of the Agreement. Developer agrees to furnish such evidence of good
faith compliance as City, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, may require, thirty (30)
calendar days prior to each anniversary of the Effective Date during the Term.
7.3 Procedure.
The Zoning Administrator shall conduct a duly noticed hearing and shall determine, on
the basis of substantial evidence, whether or not Developer has, for the period under review,
complied with the terms of this Agreement. If the Zoning Administrator finds that Developer
has so complied, the annual review shall be concluded. If the Zoning Administrator finds, on the
basis of substantial evidence, that Developer has not so complied, written notice shall be sent to
Developer by first class mail of the Zoning Administrator’s finding of non-compliance, and
Developer shall be given at least ten (10) calendar days to cure any noncompliance that relates to
the payment of money and thirty (30) calendar days to cure any other type of noncompliance. If
a cure not relating to the payment of money cannot be completed within thirty (30) calendar days
for reasons which are beyond the control of Developer, Developer must commence the cure
within such thirty (30) calendar days and diligently pursue such cure to completion. If
Developer fails to cure such noncompliance within the time(s) set forth above, such failure shall
be considered to be a Default and City shall be entitled to exercise the remedies set forth in
Article 8 below.
15
7.4 Annual Review a Non-Exclusive Means for Determining and Requiring Cure of
Developer’s Default.
The annual review procedures set forth in this Article 7 shall not be the exclusive means
for City to identify a Default by Developer or limit City’s rights or remedies for any such
Default.
8. Events of Default.
8.1 General Provisions.
In the event of any material default, breach, or violation of the terms of this Agreement
(“Default”), the Party alleging a Default shall deliver a written notice (each, a “Notice of
Default”) to the defaulting Party. The Notice of Default shall specify the nature of the alleged
Default and a reasonable manner and sufficient period of time (twenty (20) calendar days if the
Default relates to the failure to timely make a monetary payment due hereunder and not less than
thirty (30) calendar days in the event of non-monetary Defaults) in which the Default must be
cured (“Cure Period”). During the Cure Period, the Party charged shall not be considered in
Default for the purposes of termination of this Agreement or institution of legal proceedings. If
the alleged Default is cured within the Cure Period, then the Default thereafter shall be deemed
not to exist. If a non-monetary Default cannot be cured during the Cure Period with the exercise
of commercially reasonable diligence, the defaulting Party must promptly commence to cure as
quickly as possible, and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after it receives the
Notice of Default, and thereafter diligently pursue said cure to completion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the City is not required to give Developer notice of default and may immediately
pursue remedies for a Developer Default that result in an immediate threat to public health,
safety or welfare.
8.2 Default by Developer.
If Developer is alleged to have committed Default and it disputes the claimed Default, it
may make a written request for an appeal hearing before the City Council within ten (10)
calendar days of receiving the Notice of Default, and a public hearing shall be scheduled at the
next available City Council meeting to consider Developer’s appeal of the Notice of Default.
Failure to appeal a Notice of Default to the City Council within the ten (10) calendar day period
shall waive any right to a hearing on the claimed Default. If Developer’s appeal of the Notice of
Default is timely and in good faith but after a public hearing of Developer’s appeal the City
Council concludes that Developer is in Default as alleged in the Notice of Default, the accrual
date for commencement of the thirty (30) calendar day Cure Period provided in Section 8.1 shall
be extended until the City Council’s denial of Developer’s appeal is communicated to Developer
in writing.
8.3 City’s Option to Terminate Agreement.
In the event of an alleged Developer Default, City may not terminate this Agreement
without first delivering a written Notice of Default and providing Developer with the opportunity
to cure the Default within the Cure Period, as provided in Section 8.1, and complying with
Section 8.2 if Developer timely appeals any Notice of Default. A termination of this Agreement
by City shall be valid only if good cause exists and is supported by evidence presented to the
16
City Council at or in connection with a duly noticed public hearing to establish the existence of a
Default. The validity of any termination may be judicially challenged by Developer. Any such
judicial challenge must be brought within sixty (60) calendar days of service on Developer, by
first class mail, postage prepaid, of written notice of termination by City or a written notice of
City’s determination of an appeal of the Notice of Default as provided in Section 8.2.
8.4 Default by City.
If Developer alleges a City Default and alleges that the City has not cured the Default
within the Cure Period, Developer may pursue any legal or equitable remedy available to it,
including, without limitation, an action for a writ of mandamus, injunctive relief, or specific
performance of City’s obligations set forth in this Agreement. Upon a City Default, any
resulting delays in Developer’s performance hereunder shall neither be a Developer Default nor
constitute grounds for termination or cancellation of this Agreement by City and shall, at
Developer’s option (and provided Developer delivers written notice to City within thirty (30)
calendar days of the commencement of the alleged City Default), extend the Term for a period
equal to the length of the delay.
8.5 Waiver.
Failure or delay by any Party in delivering a Notice of Default shall not waive that
Party’s right to deliver a future Notice of Default of the same or any other Default.
8.6 Specific Performance Remedy.
Due to the size, nature, and scope of the Project, it will not be practical or possible to
restore the Property to its pre-existing condition once implementation of this Agreement has
begun. After such implementation, both Developer and City may be foreclosed from other
choices they may have had to plan for the development of the Property, to utilize the Property or
provide for other benefits and alternatives. Developer and City have invested significant time
and resources and performed extensive planning and processing of the Project in agreeing to the
terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more significant time and resources in
implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement. It is not possible to
determine the sum of money which would adequately compensate Developer or City for such
efforts. For the above reasons, except as set forth in Section 8.7, City and Developer agree that
damages would not be an adequate remedy if either City or Developer fails to carry out its
obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, except as set forth in Section 8.7, specific
performance of this Agreement is necessary to compensate Developer if City fails to carry out its
obligations under this Agreement or to compensate City if Developer falls to carry out its
obligations under this Agreement.
8.7 Monetary Damages.
The Parties agree that monetary damages shall not be an available remedy for any Party
for a Default hereunder by the other Party; provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Section 8.7
is intended or shall be interpreted to limit or restrict City’s right to recover the Public Benefit
Fees due from Developer as set forth herein; and (ii) nothing in this Section 8.7 is intended or
shall be interpreted to limit or restrict Developer’s indemnity obligations set forth in Article 10
or the right of the prevailing Party in any Action to recover its litigation expenses, as set forth in
17
Section 8.10. In no event shall damages be awarded against the City upon an event of default or
upon termination of this Agreement. Developer expressly agrees that the City, any City agencies
and their respective elected and appointed councils, boards, commissions, officers, agents,
employees, volunteers and representatives (collectively, for purposes of this Section 8.7, “City”)
shall not be liable for any monetary damage for a Default by the City or any claims against City
arising out of this Agreement. Developer hereby expressly waives any such monetary damages
against the City. The sole and exclusive judicial remedy for Developer in the event of a Default
by the City shall be an action in mandamus, specific performance, or other injunctive or
declaratory relief.
8.8 Additional City Remedy for Developer’s Default.
In the event of any Default by Developer, in addition to any other remedies which may be
available to City, whether legal or equitable, City shall be entitled to receive and retain any
Development Exactions applicable to the Project or the Property, including any fees, grants,
dedications, or improvements to public property which it may have received prior to Developer’s
Default without recourse from Developer or its successors or assigns.
8.9 No Personal Liability of City Officials, Employees, or Agents.
No City official, employee, or agent shall have any personal liability hereunder for a
Default by City of any of its obligations set forth in this Agreement.
8.10 No Recovery of Legal Expenses by Prevailing Party in Any Action.
In any judicial proceeding, arbitration, or mediation (collectively, an “Action”) between
the Parties that seeks to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or arises out of this Agreement,
the prevailing Party shall not recover any of its costs and expenses, regardless of whether they
would be recoverable under California Code of Civil Procedure section 1033.5 or California
Civil Code section 1717 in the absence of this Agreement. These costs and expenses include, but
are not limited to, court costs, expert witness fees, attorneys’ fees, City staff costs (including
overhead), and costs of investigation and preparation before initiation of the Action.
9. Force Majeure.
No Party shall be deemed to be in Default where failure or delay in performance of any
of its obligations under this Agreement is caused, through no fault of the Party whose
performance is prevented or delayed, by floods, earthquakes, other acts of God, fires, wars, riots
or similar hostilities, strikes or other labor difficulties, state or federal regulations, or court
actions. Except as specified above, nonperformance shall not be excused because of the act or
omission of a third person. In no event shall the occurrence of an event of force majeure operate
to extend the Term of this Agreement. In addition, in no event shall the time for performance of
a monetary obligation, including without limitation Developer’s obligation to pay Public Benefit
Fees, be extended pursuant to this Section.
10. Indemnity Obligations of Developer.
10.1 Indemnity Arising From Acts or Omissions of Developer.
18
Except to the extent caused by the intentional misconduct or gross negligent acts, errors
or omissions of City or one (1) or more of City’s officials, employees, agents, attorneys, and
contractors (collectively, the “City’s Affiliated Parties”), Developer shall indemnify, defend, and
hold harmless City and City’s Affiliated Parties from and against all suits, claims, liabilities,
losses, damages, penalties, obligations, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs) (collectively, a “Claim”) that may arise, directly or indirectly, from the
acts, omissions, or operations of Developer or Developer’s agents, contractors, subcontractors,
agents, or employees in the course of Development of the Project or any other activities of
Developer relating to the Property or Project, or pursuant to this Agreement. City shall be
entitled to retain separate counsel to represent City against the Claim and the City’s reasonable
defense costs for its separate counsel shall be included in Developer’s indemnity obligation,
provided that such counsel shall reasonably cooperate with Developer in an effort to minimize
the total litigation expenses incurred by Developer. In the event either City or Developer
recovers any attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, costs, interest, or other amounts from the party
or parties asserting the Claim, Developer shall be entitled to retain the same (provided it has fully
performed its indemnity obligations hereunder). The indemnity provisions in this Section 10.1
shall commence on the Agreement Date, regardless of whether the Effective Date occurs, and
shall survive the Termination Date.
10.2 Third Party Litigation.
In addition to its indemnity obligations set forth in Section 10.1, Developer shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and City’s Affiliated Parties from and against any
Claim against City or City’s Affiliated Parties seeking to attack, set aside, void, or annul the
approval of this Agreement, the Adopting Ordinance, any of the Development Regulations for
the Project (including without limitation any actions taken pursuant to CEQA with respect
thereto), any Subsequent Development Approval, or the approval of any permit granted pursuant
to this Agreement (including without limitation any actions taken pursuant to CEQA with respect
thereto). Said indemnity obligation shall include payment of reasonable attorney’s fees, expert
witness fees, City staff costs (including overhead), and court costs. City shall promptly notify
Developer of any such Claim and City shall cooperate with Developer in the defense of such
Claim. Developer shall not be responsible to indemnify, defend, and hold City harmless from
such Claim until Developer is so notified and if City fails to cooperate in the defense of a Claim
Developer shall not be responsible to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City during the
period that City so fails to cooperate or for any losses at tributable thereto. City shall be entitled
to retain separate counsel to represent City against the Claim and the City’s reasonable defense
costs for its separate counsel shall be included in Developer’s indemnity obligation, provided
that such counsel shall reasonably cooperate with Developer in an effort to minimize the total
litigation expenses incurred by Developer. In the event either City or Developer recovers any
attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, costs, interest, or other amounts from the party or parties
asserting the Claim, Developer shall be entitled to retain the same (provided it has fully
performed its indemnity obligations hereunder). No settlement of any Claim against City or
City’s Affiliated Parties shall be executed without the written consent of both the City and
Developer. The indemnity provisions in this Section 10.2 shall commence on the Agreement
Date, regardless of whether the Effective Date occurs, and shall survive the Termination Date.
10.3 Environmental Indemnity.
19
In addition to its indemnity obligations set forth in Section 10.1, from and after the
Effective Date Developer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City and City’s Affiliated
Parties from and against any and all Claims for personal injury or death, property damage,
economic loss, statutory penalties or fines, and damages of any kind or nature whatsoever,
including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, and costs, based
upon or arising from any of the following: (i) the actual or alleged presence of any Hazardous
Substance on or under any of the Property in violation of any applicable Environmental Law; (ii)
the actual or alleged migration of any Hazardous Substance from the Property through the soils
or groundwater to a location or locations off of the Property; and (iii) the storage, handling,
transport, or disposal of any Hazardous Substance on, to, or from the Property and any other area
disturbed, graded, or developed by Developer in connection with Developer’s Development of
the Project. The indemnity provisions in this Section 10.3 shall commence on the Effective Date
occurs, and shall survive the Termination Date.
11. Assignment.
Developer shall have the right to sell, transfer, or assign (hereinafter, collectively, a
“Transfer”) Developer’s interest in or fee title to the Property, in whole or in part, to a “Permitted
Transferee” (which successor, as of the effective date of the Transfer, shall become the
“Developer” under this Agreement) at any time from the Agreement Date until the Termination
Date; provided, however, that no such Transfer shall violate the provisions of the Subdivision
Map Act (Government Code Section 66410 et seq.) or City’s local subdivision ordinance and
any such transfer shall include the assignment and assumption of Developer’s rights, duties, and
obligations set forth in or arising under this Agreement as to the Property or the portion thereof
so Transferred and shall be made in strict compliance with the following conditions precedent:
(i) no transfer or assignment of any of Developer’s rights or interest under this Agreement shall
be made unless made together with the Transfer of all or a part of Developer’s interest in the
Property; and (ii) prior to the effective date of any proposed Transfer, Developer (as transferor)
shall notify City, in writing, of such proposed Transfer and deliver to City a written assignment
and assumption, executed in recordable form by the transferring and successor Developer and in
a form subject to the reasonable approval of the City Attorney of City (or designee), pursuant to
which the transferring Developer assigns to the successor Developer and the successor
Developer assumes from the transferring Developer all of the rights and obligations of the
transferring Developer with respect to the Property and this Agreement, or interest in the
Property, or portion thereof to be so Transferred, including in the case of a partial Transfer the
obligation to perform such obligations that must be performed outside of the Property so
Transferred that are a condition precedent to the successor Developer’s right to develop the
portion of the Property so Transferred. Any Permitted Transferee shall have all of the same
rights, benefits, duties, obligations, and liabilities of Developer under this Agreement with
respect to the portion of, or interest in, the Property sold, transferred, and assigned to such
Permitted Transferee; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer of less than all of the
Property, or interest in the Property, no such Permitted Transferee shall have the right to enter
into an amendment of this Agreement that jeopardizes or impairs the rights or increases the
obligations of the Developer with respect to the balance of the Property, without Developer’s
written consent.
Notwithstanding any Transfer, the transferring Developer shall continue to be jointly and
severally liable to City, together with the successor Developer, to perform all of the transferred
20
obligations set forth in or arising under this Agreement unless there is full satisfaction of all of
the following conditions, in which event the transferring Developer shall be automatically
released from any and all obligations with respect to the portion of the Property so Transferred:
(i) the transferring Developer no longer has a legal or equitable interest in the portion of the
Property so Transferred other than as a beneficiary under a deed of trust; (ii) the transferring
Developer is not then in Default under this Agreement and no condition exists that with the
passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a Default hereunder; (iii) the
transferring Developer has provided City with the notice and the fully executed written and
recordable assignment and assumption agreement required as set forth in the first paragraph of
this Section 11; and (iv) the successor Developer either (A) provides City with substitute security
equivalent to any security previously provided by the transferring Developer to City to secure
performance of the successor Developer’s obligations hereunder with respect to the Property, or
interest in the Property, or the portion of the Property so Transferred, as determined in the City’s
sole discretion, or (B) if the transferred obligation in question is not a secured obligation, the
successor Developer either provides security reasonably satisfactory to City or otherwise
demonstrates to City’s reasonable satisfaction, as determined in the City’s sole discretion, that
the successor Developer has the financial resources or commitments available to perform the
transferred obligation at the time and in the manner required under this Agreement and the
Development Regulations for the Project. Any determination by the City in regards to the second
paragraph of Section 11, subpart (iv) (A), (B), shall be documented in writing.
12. Mortgagee Rights.
12.1 Encumbrances on Property.
The Parties agree that this Agreement shall not prevent or limit Developer in any manner
from encumbering the Property, any part of the Property, or any improvements on the Property
with any Mortgage securing financing with respect to the construction, development, use, or
operation of the Project.
12.2 Mortgagee Protection.
This Agreement shall be superior and senior to the lien of any Mortgage. Nevertheless,
no breach of this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish, or impair the lien of any
Mortgage made in good faith and for value. Any acquisition or acceptance of title or any right or
interest in the Property or part of the Property by a Mortgagee (whether due to foreclosure,
trustee’s sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, lease termination, or otherwise) shall be subject to all
of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any Mortgagee who takes title to the Property or
any part of the Property shall be entitled to the benefits arising under this Agreement.
12.3 Mortgagee Not Obligated.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 12.3, a Mortgagee will not have any
obligation or duty under the terms of this Agreement to perform the obligations of Developer or
other affirmative covenants of Developer, or to guarantee this performance except that: (i) the
Mortgagee shall have no right to develop the Project under the Development Regulations without
fully complying with the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) to the extent that any covenant to be
21
performed by Developer is a condition to the performance of a covenant by City, that
performance shall continue to be a condition precedent to City’s performance.
12.4 Notice of Default to Mortgagee; Right of Mortgagee to Cure.
Each Mortgagee shall, upon written request to City, be entitled to receive written notice
from City of: (i) the results of the periodic review of compliance specified in Article 7 of this
Agreement, and (ii) any default by Developer of its obligations set forth in this Agreement.
Each Mortgagee shall have a further right, but not an obligation, to cure the Default
within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving a Notice of Default with respect to a monetary
Default and within sixty (60) calendar days after receiving a Notice of Default with respect to a
non-monetary Default. If the Mortgagee can only remedy or cure a non-monetary Default by
obtaining possession of the Property, then the Mortgagee shall have the right to seek to obtain
possession with diligence and continuity through a receiver or otherwise, and to remedy or cure
the non-monetary Default within sixty (60) calendar days after obtaining possession and, except
in case of emergency or to protect the public health or safety, City may not exercise any of its
judicial remedies set forth in this Agreement to terminate or substantially alter the rights of the
Mortgagee until expiration of the sixty (60) calendar day period. In the case of a non-monetary
Default that cannot with diligence be remedied or cured within sixty (60) calendar days, the
Mortgagee shall have additional time as is reasonably necessary to remedy or cure the Default,
provided the Mortgagee promptly commences to cure the non-monetary Default within sixty (60)
calendar days and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion.
13. Bankruptcy. The obligations of this Agreement shall not be dischargeable in bankruptcy.
14. Miscellaneous Terms.

(ii) three (3) business days after deposit in the mail as provided above.
14.3 Project as Private Undertaking.
The Development of the Project is a private undertaking. Neither the Developer nor the
City is acting as the agent of the other in any respect, and each is an independent contracting
entity with respect to the terms, covenants, and conditions set forth in this Agreement. This
Agreement forms no partnership, joint venture, or other association of any kind. The only
relationship between the Parties is that of a government entity regulating the Development of
private property by the owner of the property.
14.4 Cooperation.
Each Party shall cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the other Party to
the extent consistent with and necessary to implement this Agreement. Upon the request of a
Party at any time, the other Party shall promptly execute, with acknowledgement or affidavit if
reasonably required, and file or record the required instruments and writings and take any actions
as may be reasonably necessary to implement this Agreement or to evidence or consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
14.5 Estoppel Certificates.
At any time, any Party may deliver written notice to the other Party requesting that Party
certify in writing that, to the best of its knowledge: (i) this Agreement is in full force and effect
and is binding on the Party; (ii) this Agreement has not been amended or modified either orally
or in writing or, if this Agreement has been amended, the Party providing the certification shall
identify the amendments or modifications; and (iii) the requesting Party is not in Default in the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement and no event or situation has occurred that
with the passage of time or the giving of Notice or both would constitute a Default or, if such is
not the case, then the other Party shall describe the nature and amount of the actual or
prospective Default. Such estoppel certificates may be relied upon only by the Parties, their
respective successors and assigns, and, in the event of an estoppel certificate issued by City, a
Mortgagee of Developer, including a Permitted Transferee, and its actual or prospective
23
Mortgagee. City shall be entitled to payment/reimbursement for its actual and reasonable costs
of investigation and preparation of an estoppel certificate prior to issuing the same.
The Party requested to furnish an estoppel certificate shall execute and return the
certificate within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt (assuming, in the case of an estoppel
certificate to be issued by City, Developer has paid City the cost thereof, as provided above).
14.6 Rules of Construction.
The singular includes the plural; the masculine and neuter include the feminine; “shall” is
mandatory; and “may” is permissive.
14.7 Time Is of the Essence.
Time is of the essence regarding each provision of this Agreement as to which time is an
element.
14.8 Waiver.
The failure by a Party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this
Agreement by the other Party, and failure by a Party to exercise its rights upon a Default by the
other Party, shall not constitute a waiver of that Party’s right to demand strict compliance by the
other Party in the future.
14.9 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be
identical and may be introduced in evidence or used for any other purpose without any other
counterpart, but all of which shall together constitute one (1) and the same agreement.
14.10 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to
the subject matter addressed in this Agreement.
14.11 Severability.
The Parties intend that each and every obligation of the Parties is interdependent and
interrelated with the other, and if any provision of this Agreement or the application of the
provision to any Party or circumstances shall be held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, it is
the intention of the Parties that the remainder of this Agreement or the application of the
provision to persons or circumstances shall be rendered invalid or unenforceable. The Parties
intend that no Party shall receive any of the benefits of the Agreement without the full
performance by such Party of all of its obligations provided for under this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties intend that Developer shall not receive any of
the benefits of this Agreement if any of Developer’s obligations are rendered void or
unenforceable as the result of any third party litigation, and City shall be free to exercise its
legislative discretion to amend or repeal the Development Regulations applicable to the Property
24
and Developer shall cooperate as required, despite this Agreement, should third party litigation
result in the nonperformance of Developer’s obligations under this Agreement. The provisions
of this Section 14.11 shall apply regardless of whether the Effective Date occurs and after the
Termination Date.
14.12 Construction.
This Agreement has been drafted after extensive negotiation and revision. Both City and
Developer are sophisticated parties who were represented by independent counsel throughout the
negotiations or City and Developer had the opportunity to be so represented and voluntarily
chose to not be so represented. City and Developer each agree and acknowledge that the terms
of this Agreement are fair and reasonable, taking into account their respective purposes, terms,
and conditions. This Agreement shall therefore be construed as a whole consistent with its fair
meaning, and no principle or presumption of contract construction or interpretation shall be used
to construe the whole or any part of this Agreement in favor of or against any Party.
14.13 Successors and Assigns; Constructive Notice and Acceptance.
The burdens of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and the benefits of this Agreement
shall inure to, all successors in interest to the Parties to this Agreement. Except for those
provisions relating to indemnity in Section 10, all other provisions of this Agreement shall, from
and after the Effective Date hereof, be enforceable as equitable servitudes and constitute
covenants running with the land. Subject to occurrence of the Effective Date, each covenant to
do or refrain from doing some act hereunder with regard to Development of the Property: (i) is
for the benefit of and is a burden upon every portion of the Property; (ii) runs with the Property
and each portion thereof; and (iii) is binding upon each Party and each successor in interest
during its ownership of the Property or any portion thereof. Every person or entity who now or
later owns or acquires any right, title, or interest in any part of the Project or the Property is and
shall be conclusively deemed to have consented and agreed to every provision of this
Agreement. This Section 14.13 applies regardless of whether the instrument by which such
person or entity acquires the interest refers to or acknowledges this Agreement and regardless of
whether such person or entity has expressly entered into an assignment and assumption
agreement as provided for in Article 11.
14.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries.
The only Parties to this Agreement are City and Developer. This Agreement does not
involve any third party beneficiaries, and it is not intended and shall not be construed to benefit
or be enforceable by any other person or entity.
14.15 Applicable Law and Venue.
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced consistent with the laws of the State of
California, without regard to conflicts of law principles. Any action at law or in equity arising
under this Agreement or brought by any Party for the purpose of enforcing, construing, or
determining the validity of any provision of this Agreement shall be filed and tried in the
Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, or the United States District Court
for the Central District of California. The Parties waive all provisions of law providing for the
removal or change of venue to any other court.
