Mr. Dick Cannon, representing The Irvine Company,
appeared before the Commission and summarized
the project with regard to the land uses, phasing
and mitigation measures being proposed. In
summary, Mr. Cannon stated that the straw votes
taken by the Planning Commission at the last
meeting, exceeds a reasonable limit and upsets
the balance between public and private benefits.
He.urged approval of the plan as proposed and
related mitigation measures.
In response to a question posed by.Commissioner
Beek, Mr. Cannon explained that the burden of
the traffic management -pl.an can become The Irvine
Company's responsibility. He suggested that the
phasing of Newport Center be tied into the succes
of the traffic management plan to allow for three
fourths of the local roadway improvements to be
constructed for the City, while only one -half of
the requested office square footage and.the hotel
. would be allowed to proceed. He stated that in
this way, Phase II could then be conditioned upon
the performance standards of the traffic manange-
ment plan and placement of Pelican Hills Road
and San Joaquin Hills Road.
Mr. Chuck Hersch, Vice- President of the Newport
Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce stated that:The
Irvine Company has made diligent efforts to meet
the concerns of the community with regard to
this proposal. He strongly urged the Commission
to reconsider their straw votes of the last
meeting and approve the compromised package as
presented by The Irvine Company.
'Commissioner Thomas stated that commercial square footage
generates the most traffic and the least revenue, as in-
dicated in the cost revenue analysis. Mr. Hersch re- .
sponded that he had not received, or had the opportunity
to read the cost revenue analysis, but that the road
improvements. as being requested of the .applicant, appear
to be extremely costly.
Ms. Dee Dee. Masters of Corona del Mar, stated that her
primary concern is the traffic impact from Newport Center
' onto Pacific Coast Highway. She referred to a letter
she had received from the Department of Transportation
dated May 15, 19815 whidh addressed traffic in general,

sufficient funds for $150,000. Chairman Haidinge
stated that the amount could be increased to
$200,000 at such time as the remaining develop-
ment were to take place.
Commissioner Thomas stated that the floating unit
should be located in a specific area, such as the
Pacific Coast Highway frontage. Mr. Talarico
-stated, that a specific site in Newport Center
ha.s not beeh.identified as yet, to accommodate
the units. Commissioner Beek stated that there
has been a substantial net increase of resi-
dential units in Block 600,.which may have in-
cluded these floating units.
Commissioner Allen stated that the motion at
the last meeting for Block 600 did not fix a
number of dwelling units in Block 600. She
• stated that the intent of the motion was for
two buildings of approximately 300,000 square
feet and 225,000 square feet,.with whatever.
number of.residential units would fit. She stated
that this may cause a difference in the parking
requirements, because the residential use may
overlap the existing parking. Therefore, she
stated that there may be room in Block 600 for
these floating units.
Amendment X Chairman Haidioger stated that he would incor-
porate that into his motion as follows:
