one -way couplet concept was the result of recom-
mendations made in the Environmental Impact Repc
Mr. Cowell pointed out that the two proposed ple
were basically the same as to land use and that
the major difference was in the circulation sysi
with Alternate A proposing the widening of Coasi
Highway and Alternate B proposing the one -way
couplet concept.
City Engineer Nolan reviewed the history of the
one -way couplet concept, advising that the coup(
was considered and dropped subsequent to the
Voorhees study and prior to the adoption of the
Circulation Element of the General Plan. Howev(
in preparing the Environmental Impact Report foi
Mariners' Mile Specific Area Plan, it was learn(
that the projections used by Voorhees in the
Mariners' Mile area itself were substantially
less than the actual increase in traffic which
would be generated by future development and,
therefore, it was felt that the one -way couplet
should again be reviewed.
Mr. Nolan reviewed the general configuration of
the one -way couplet as well as the projected
traffic and levels of service, depending on the
ratio of development permitted. He also review,
a graph showing the relationship between traffi
delays and intersection capacity utilization.
was pointed out that the 1995 projections were
based on the completion of the entire circulati,
system, including the University Drive and San
Joaquin corridor, and that additional through
traffic would be added to Coast Highway if the
above were not completed. It was also pointed
out that when the bay bridge was completed, the
bottleneck which now exists at Dover Drive will
be transferred to the Mariners' Mile area and
that the consequences of increased congestion
include more delays, accidents, air and noise
pollution, and by- passing of traffic onto adjac
local streets.
Mr. Nolan reviewed the benefits of the one -way
couplet which included improved traffic capacit
bicycle and pedestrian circulation, better acce
to some of the adjacent properties, parking
possibilities, and minimizing the impact of
building intensity. The disadvantages of the
one -way couplet included cost (4 million dollar
as compared to 1.5 million dollars for the

widening of Coast Highway), and need for the lar
itself which would be lost to the property owner
as well as delays in the use of the land pendinc
improvements of the one -way couplet system. Mr.
Nolan commented on the feasibility of the one -we
couplet as well as the efforts and attention of
CALTRANS to utilize existing highways now that
the freeway program has come to a halt and prior
ities being given by the Federal Aid Urban.Syste
Advisory Committee and the Orange County Highway
Arterial Program Technical.Committee. In conch
sion, Mr. Nolan stressed the magnitude of the
traffic problem which could be foreseen which wi
very very serious.
Senior Planner Talarico reviewed the general
concept of the Specific Area Plan, and the chant
which have been initiated since the last public
hearing contained in both Alternate Plan A and
Alternate Plan B. He advised that both plans
were divided into two parts, one being the
Specific Area Plan which established policies
for development and served as a bridge between
the General Plan and the more specific zoning
ordinances, and the other being the Specific Pl+
District which would replace existing zoning in
the area. Mr. Talarico reviewed the proposed
zoning and the uses which would be allowed, as
well as the incentive program proposed. He
advised that both plans were identical as to
development standards, that the existing height
limit of 26/35 feet would be maintained, that
the intensity of development was correlated wit
traffic at .5 times the buildable.area, parking
was with the "H" district standards, landscapin
would be required along Coast Highway and in pa
ing lots, setbacks would be required from Coast
Highway similar to that required in the Mariner
Mile Square development, and site plan review
would be required. He reviewed the mitigation
measures recommended in the EIR including the
intensity of development, the circulation syste
visual environment and consistency of land use
terminology and air quality standards. He also
reviewed the supplemental information report
.
developed by the City staff and J. J. Van Houte
& Associates as the noise consultant and Hank
Mohle & Associates as the circulation consultan
He further reviewed the impacts of the one -way
couplet vs. the improvement of Coast Highway
widening.

Staff answered questions of the Commission rela-

density of development. Staff also distributed
correspondence received from Edward G. Healy,
Ardell Investment Company, Robert V. Staats, Inc
and Evelyn R. Hart.
Public hearing was opened in connection with thi
matter.
Clarence Herbert, 243 Ocean View Avenue, appeare
before the Commission and felt that the one -way
couplet was a pseudo freeway to which he objecte
and therefore recommended the adoption of Plan I
His objection to the one -way couplet included
acquisition of additional property, and increasf
noise and traffic adjacent to the residential
area.
Bob Sangster, President of the Newport Heights
Association, appeared before the Commission and
advised that the Board took no position on the
issue of the .5 times buildable density; that th(
had no objections to the land use provisions;
that the EIR should address the impacts of Marii
Mile traffic on the adjacent residential street!
such as Riverside, Tustin, Cliff, and the link -i
of Avon to Santa Ana; took no position on the
issue of the one -way couplet; and that the traf-
aspects should be considered separately from thi
land use aspects. They also felt that any con-
sideration of the traffic flow along Coast Hight
should be reviewed as a whole, including Corona
del Mar, and not be considered in a piece -meal
fashion.
Linda Scheck, 501 Cliff Drive, appeared before
the Commission on behalf of the Cliffhaven Home
owners Association and advised that the Board
strongly endorsed the .5 times buildable densit.
and requested that a separate traffic circulati
study of the Newport Heights / Cliffhaven area be
undertaken to determine the impacts from the
Mariners' Mile area as well as the commercial
area to the north in Costa Mesa. As an individ

Brion Jeanette, 453 Santa Ana, appeared before .
the Commission in favor of the one -way couplet
and the proposed density, however, he voiced
concern that the only access into the residentii
area would be on Riverside Drive which would
increase traffic on that street. He felt that z
study of the bleed -off traffic should be made
before adopting any plan to determine its effect
on bicycle and pedestrian traffic and requested
that the homeowners associations be notified.
prior to review of the various site plans.
Traffic Engineer Darnell appeared before the
Commission to answer questions relative to the
bleed -off traffic into residential areas and
reviewed the statistics as presented on Page 24
of the Supplemental Information.Report.
Bonnie Jeanette, 453 Santa Ana, appeared before
the Commission and presented a petition contain -
approximately 80 signatures which endorsed the
density, questioned the one -way couplet, and
requested a thorough study of the residential
area with respect to the traffic circulation,
noise, air pollution, and property values and
the safeguards which must be taken to prevent
negative impacts on the area.
Bonnie Shrack representing the PTA from Newport
Heights, Horace Ensign and the high school,
appeared before the Commission and voiced conce
with the lack of sidewalks in the area and con-
curred with the need for a study, especially wi
respect to Riverside, Tustin, Irvine, Clay, 15t1
and 16th Streets.
Al Nelson, 534 E1 Modena, appeared before the
Commission and suggested that Riverside, Tustin
and Santa Ana be turned into cul -de -sacs thereb
keeping the.Heights as a residential community.
He also suggested that an overpass be construct
to connect the residential area with the commer
cial area for the benefit of pedestrians and
bicycles. Mr. Nelson answered questions of the
•
Commission relative to his proposal.
Brion Jeanette appeared before the Commission a
reviewed a study and plan he made utilizing cul

Boulevard. He also felt that a pedestrian over-
pass made sense between the two areas.
John Jakosky, 1718 Terrapin Way, appeared before
the Commission and commented that the one -way
couplet would be a fine scheme to move traffic
through Newport Beach but questioned the movemel
of traffic within Mariners' Mile. He felt that
Alternate Plan A would allow for a more workab -l(
flow of traffic within Mariners' Mile. He also
felt that as soon as a plan has been adopted, ti
City should proceed with the distribution of fui
for the required property within a period of 90
days, because once a plan has been established,
the effected properties could no longer be deve'
oped by the property owner. He also commented
on the City's intent to keep the area for marin
oriented uses but pointed out that the Tax Asse!
was actually doing the planning and that marine
oriented businesses were being forced out of thi
area due to the increased taxes. He questioned
the City's justification in outlining where witl
a building tenants should be located, and felt
that the site plan review procedure should be
eliminated and more guidelines established so t
development could be on an equal basis rather t
subject to the whims of whoever was on the Comm
sion at the time. He urged the City to work wi
the County Tax Assessor in whatever way possibl
in order to keep the area a marine oriented
center.
D. T. Daniels with Ardell Investment Company,
2077 West Coast Highway, appeared before the
Commission in opposition to the one -way couplet
and in favor of the Alternate Plan A. They fel
that the one -way couplet would hurt business
because it would be difficult for people who ar
unfamiliar with the area to find their way; tha
to limit the density to .5 times the buildable
because of traffic was unjust because most of t
traffic through Mariners' Mile was created by
other locations with a higher density such as
Fashion Island; and that maximum setbacks shoul
be established so that property owners can plan
developments based on regulations rather than
the whim of the then - present Planning Commissio
He answered questions of the Commission, advisi
that because of the high property taxes being
assessed, the .5 times buildable was not practic

if it was the intent of the City to retain the -
area for marine oriented businesses.
At this point, Planning Commission discussed
hypothetical developments which could take place
at the .5 times buildable density.
Jose Rosan representing J. R. Investment Company
appeared before the Commission in opposition to
One-way couplet because it would destroy their
parking lot and any trade -off for another locati
would not be acceptable. He also pointed out th
if parking were implemented on the south side of
Coast Highway as a result of the one -way couplet
marine oriented businesses would suffer because
the configuration would make it impossible to
truck boats into the boat yards and display area
adjacent to the parking lot.
Pat O'Daily, 105 Via Antibes, appeared before tf
•
Commission on behalf of E1 Torrito. As an indit
dual, he could not see how the couplet would mot
traffic any faster through Mariners Mile than P1
A. From a commercial standpoint, it was felt tf
physical identification was essential to the
success of the business and that the one -way
couplet would be detrimental to their business.
Vin Jorgenson, 1533 Antigua Way, appeared before
the Commission and pointed out that the adjacen•
residential area also generated traffic within
their own area and that the residents do use
Mariners' Mile, therefore, all the traffic with
Newport Heights and Cliffhaven did not come frog
the Coast Highway. He commented in opposition
the one -way couplet and felt that it would have
an adverse effect on businesses in the area. Hi
also commented on the inequality of the tax
assessments in the area.
Margaret Motta, 2700 Cliff Drive, appeared befo
the Commission and advised that the chief Conte
of the adjacent residents was for the safety of
the children.

Randy Seaton resident of Balboa Island, appeare
before the Commission on behalf of Amelia's
Restaurant in opposition to the one -way couplet
because they would lose part of their parking 1

John Zwears, 2944.Cliff Drive, appeared before
the Commission and commented that the traffic
of the one -way couplet could have an effect on
the present use of the neighborhood parks.
Terry Slayback, 426 Riverside, appeared before
the Commission and felt that the residential any
commercial areas were related and that they muse
be looked at simultaneously to determine what
effect one had on the other. She also endorsed
_.
the .5 times buildable density.
Owen Minney appeared before the Commission and_
commented on the effect of the Post Office in
generating traffic and felt that it should be
moved. He also opposed the one -way couplet and
the .5 times buildable density and felt that thi
present 2.0 times buildable should remain.
Linda Sheck, 501 Cliff Drive, pointed out the
City Traffic Engineer's recommendation regardin
the need for a separate traffic study for the
Newport Heights area.
There being no others desiring to appear and
be heard, the public hearing was closed.

owners the opportunity to be more creative in th
area through criteria established which could
allow the density to increase up to .75 times th
buildable and preclude "look - alike" development
within Mariners' Mile.
Commissioner Frederickson commented on the probll
involved and his desire to sort out the many
issues pertinent to Mariners' Mile before any
action was taken, therefore, he favored a contin
uance of this matter to the next meeting.
Commissioner Hummel commented on the preservatic
of residential communities and the need to find
better way to convey people around the City in
order to preserve these communities while at the
same time provide for the needs of the merchants
He, therefore, felt that this matter should be
continued in order to further review the social
and economic impacts involved with this decisior
Commissioner Cokas commented on what he felt waa
the three major concerns; i.e. the problem of
moving traffic on Coast Highway; residential
safety in the bluffs, and the viability of the
businesses in Mariners' Mile. He felt that
either plan would help the safety factor within
the residential area because there would be less
bleed -off traffic due to the smooth flow of
traffic on the highway. As to the effect of the
one -way couplet on the businesses, he felt that
more information was needed and favored a
continuance of this matter.
Commissioner Seely commented on the issue of
preserving the area for marine oriented busines
and the apparent difficulty in view of the Tax
Assessor's attitude and the persistent high taxi
He also commented on his preference for a one -w.
couplet and concurred with the suggestion to
allow some flexibility in the density.
Commissioner Agee commented that marine oriente
uses may no longer be a reality and that the on
way couplet concept was a dream because none of
•
the businessmen seemed to be in favor of the
couplet and the cost would be prohibitive. He
suggested that a list of incentives be devised
relative to the matter of density and felt
clarification was needed with respect to the si
plan review provisions.

77 -1 -D: A proposed amendment to the Land Use
Element expanding the boundaries of the Corona
del Mar Specific Area Plan area to include resi-
dential areas north and south of Coast Highway.
Said expanded area could include all of "Old"
Corona del Mar (bounded generally by Avocado
Avenue on the west, the properties adjacent to
and northerly of Fifth Avenue, on the north,
Buck Gully on the east, and the shoreline on the
south) or a portion thereof. This amendment wol
result in a requirement that a "Site Plan Review
approval by the Planning Commission, in accordar
with Section 20.01.070 of the Newport Beach Mun*
cipal Code, be obtained prior to new development
in said expanded Specific Area Plan area.
Commissioner Hummel proposed that Alternative 3
be adopted.
Senior Planner Dmohowski reviewed the boundarie!
of the three alternatives.
Commissioner Agee advised of his preference for
Alternative 1. He felt that the larger areas
could be very time - consuming and would open up
the possibility of a site review on every develi
ment in the Corona del Mar area which would not
seem very practical.
Commissioner Hummel felt that inclusion of addi
tional area other than just those properties
adjacent to the commercial district may be
necessary in order to solve some of the arteria
or circulation problems which exist.
Commissioner Balalis commented that the reason
for a Specific Area Plan was to solve various
problems in an area; that the problems in the
Corona del Mar residential area could be handle
through the residential development standards;

Area Plan, the quicker the plan could be estab-
