Housing Element Sites Subcommittee - - Airport Area
Sites Reviewed in Zoom Meeting
August 20, 2020
Revised as of February 8, 2021
Airport Area Encircled by MacArthur, Jamboree, Bristol North and Campus
Subcommittee Members Present: Sandland, Selich & Tucker
Staff Members Present: Campbell & Zdeba
Note: NBGIS Staff prepared an Ownership Inventory Map (attached) with a number designated on each
Parcel in the Study Area. References to Parcel numbers below correspond to the numbers assigned to
each Parcel on the Ownership Inventory Map. The Parcel numbers do not appear to be in any type of
order so the information below starts more or less from the north and works to the south. Sites within
the 65dB CNEL were not considered at this time.
The Subcommittee only considered if the Parcels would physically be able to accommodate housing in
place of or in addition to the current use of the Parcels. Parcels were assigned one of three grades:
Feasible, Potentially feasible or Infeasible. Feasible sites are those that appear that they could feasibly
be redeveloped for housing or have housing added to the Parcel while the current use remains in whole
or in part, Potentially Feasible sites are those that may work as housing, but due to the size and/or
configuration of a Parcel, or the quality and functionality of existing improvements, a Parcel might be
somewhat less likely to be a candidate for a housing use. Potentially Feasible sites may also include
Parcels that would be infeasible standing alone, but if combined with adjacent Parcel(s) could become
part of a potential housing site. Infeasible sites are those that the Subcommittee determined would not
work as housing due to existing improvements on the site, insufficient size outside the 65dB zone and/or
inefficiencies due to the configuration of the Parcel outside the 65dB zone. The Subcommittee
acknowledges that it does not have all the facts about the various Parcels and therefore the
designations may be somewhat subjective. Accordingly, some of the Parcels could have been wrongly
assigned the grade of Feasible, Potentially Feasible or even Infeasible. Staff will be following up with
many of the property owners and that follow-up should provide more pertinent information about each
Parcel for which an owner responds.
Before any Parcel is finally approved for the Sites Inventory list, the Full Committee, after public input,
would have to find that housing on a Parcel would be a suitable use. Among other things, the
deliberations on suitability will involve density and could involve development standards. The
Subcommittee is not endorsing housing on any particular Parcel, but rather is narrowing the Sites that
staff will spend time looking into and that the Full Committee will consider adding to the Sites Inventory
after receiving public input.
1. Parcels 43 and 113 are respectively a retail building and an office building and do not present enough
land to be considered a viable site, and the buildings appear viable commercial buildings. Infeasible
2. The Saunders Site outside 65dB (Parcel numbers 10, 11, 58, 60, 73, 96 and 112) has been approved
for multi-tenant housing by the City Council. The filing of an application for a housing land use on this
site should be substantial evidence of a desire to change the land use. Feasible
3. Parcel 37, Hyatt Hotel. This Site is a viable commercial site and would not likely become a stand-
alone housing site. However, if the Site is found to be suitable as a housing site, the property owner
should be advised that the addition of housing might be possible. Potentially feasible

4. Parcels 69 & 95, the property owner has already approached the City to ask about conversion to
housing on these parcels (about 2.45 acres). If the Site is found suitable, the City should seek
confirmation that the owner would consider a change in the land use to housing. Feasible
5. Parcels 87 & 23 ;Benihana and Steve’s DetailͿ are bisected by the 65dB line and is small in size and
has an irregular configuration. Infeasible
6. Parcels 70, 80, 81 and 111 are already approved by the City for Newport Crossings multi-tenant
housing project. Feasible
7. Parcels 9 is a small bank building and Parcel 24 is an old Class B office building with tuck under
parking. Each Parcel is regular in shape and could potentially stand on its own as housing. Consolidating
the Parcels would make for a more developable scale. If the Site is found suitable, the property owners
should be advised that a land use change to allow housing might be possible. Feasible
8. Parcels 131 and 135 look to be individual building pads perhaps with parking on a common parcel.
Regardless, it does not look like there is enough land to properly plan housing especially given the
triangular shape of the land outside the 65dB line. And since these parcels are part of a multiple parcel
office park, probably with CC&R’s, these sites do not appear to be viable for housing. Infeasible
9. Parcel 38 owner has already approached Committee about potential for housing. This is a 4-acre Site
somewhat irregular in shape. If the Site is found suitable, the City should seek confirmation that the
owner would consider a change in the land use to housing. Feasible
10. Parcel 79 appears to be a nice office property but the building is in the center of the property.
However, if the Site is found suitable, the property owner should be advised that a land use change to
housing might be possible. Potentially feasible
11. Parcel 51, 72 and 88 appear to share a common parking lot. The two buildings on Parcel 72 are
newer vintage commercial buildings while Parcels 51 and 88 are older restaurant buildings. Because of
the apparent reciprocal parking and access, if the owner of any of the three parcels is not interested in
housing, re-working the common area would complicate any reuse. The owner of Parcel 51 would not
likely be able to feasibly develop housing since the parcel is only 31,000 s.f. and is irregular in shape.
The owner of Parcel 88 is regular in shape and might be a feasible housing site. Parcel 51 and 88 could
be combined for housing, but the common area parking would probably have to be re-worked. If
Parcels 51 and 88 are found suitable, the owners of Parcels 51 and 88 should be advised that a land use
change to housing might be possible. Potentially feasible
12. Parcels 71, 91 and 122 are a large office building with a multi-story parking structure, a dental
laboratory company in a nice building and a Bank of America branch. All buildings look unlikely to be
available for conversion to housing. Infeasible
13. Parcels 52 and 138 look to be good quality office buildings and are not deemed likely candidates to
change uses to housing. Infeasible
14. Parcels 77 has a two-level parking structural that could be re-worked to potentially add housing. To
a lesser extent, Parcel the same is true of Parcel 68. Each has a multi-story office structure. The owners
of each Parcel should be advised that the addition of housing might be possible. Potentially feasible
15. Parcels 68, 77, 106, 121 and perhaps Parcel 19 more or less back up to each other and visually
present a large area for potential development, if they could be assembled. Parcels 68 and 106 would
contribute surface parking, but no buildings, Parcel 77 would have to have its two-story parking

3
structure re-worked. The building on Parcel 121 would probably need to be demolished as it would
represent the entry to the project, and the same would be the case with Parcel 19 if included. A
smaller assemblage would be Parcels 68 and 77 if they were to combine parking areas to also create a
housing site. Each of those Parcels has nice functioning office buildings. If found to be suitable, the
owner of each parcel should be advised that the addition of housing might be possible if they worked
together. Potentially feasible
16. Parcel 121 has a functioning office building but could be a location for housing. If found suitable,
the property owner should be advised that a land use change to housing might be possible. Potentially
Feasible
17. The same would be true for Parcels 19 and 33 as for Parcel 121. Advise the owner the same as for
Parcel 121. Potentially Feasible
18. Parcel 117 is a large office complex with a parking structure that would be unlikely to be displaced
for housing. Infeasible
19. Parcel 116 would be the same as Parcels 19, 33 and 121. If found suitable, the owner should be
advised that a land use change to housing might be possible. Feasible
20. Parcels 119 and 120 appear to be office condominiums and therefore would involve too many
owners to be able to accomplish an assemblage. Infeasible
21. Parcels 66, 67 and 83 are odd-shaped parcels that would not be able to be efficient planned as
separate housing projects. And they would be in the same situation as Parcels 19 and 33, and 116 and
121. But if found suitable, the owners should be advised that a land use change to housing might be
possible. Potentially feasible
22. Parcels 61 and 62 appear to be functioning office uses and probably not a candidate but if found
suitable, the property owner should be advised that a change of land use to housing might be possible.
Potentially feasible
23. Parcel 63 is a nice building with a parking structure and is not large enough to justify a change in
use. Infeasible
24. Parcel 76 is the Lexus dealership and is not considered a viable housing site. Infeasible
25. Parcels 16, 105 and 47 are viable commercial developments that front Bristol and the 73 freeway
and are not considered housing sites. Infeasible
26. Parcel 31 is a viable office building with a parking structure, but there may be room to add housing.
If found suitable, the property owner should be advised that the addition of housing might be possible.
Potentially feasible
27. Parcel 99 is a parking lot. The Parcel is large enough for a more sizable stand-alone project. If
Parcel 99 could be combined with Parcel 104, there would be enough land for a good-sized project. If
found suitable, the owner of Parcel 99 should be advised that the use for housing of Parcel 99 alone or
in combination with Parcel 104 would be possible. Feasible
28. Parcel 104 is in the same situation as Parcels 19, 33, 66, 67, 83, 116 and 121. However, being next
to vacant land (Parcel 99) that is somewhat irregular in shape, it might be a better candidate to be
demolished since its land area would allow Parcel 99 to be more efficiently developed. If found suitable,

the property owner should be advised that a land use change to housing use alone or in connection with
Parcel 99 might be possible. Feasible
29. Parcel 39 is mostly within the 65dB area, and the portion that is outside the 65dB area is small and
oddly shaped. Infeasible
30. Parcel 89 is improved with a newly renovated office building but does have enough land area to
accommodate housing. Potentially Feasible
31. Parcel 13 is an office condo project and as such would likely not be a candidate for a housing use.
Infeasible
