The public hearing was opened in connection with this item, and Mr. Bill
Craig, applicant, appeared before the Planning Commission. In response to
a question posed by Chairman Gifford, Mr. Craig addressed the number of
parking spaces that would be required for the daytime operation. James
Hewicker, Planning Director, pointed out that Condition No. 6, Exhibit
"A ", states that 31 independently accessible parking spaces shall be
provided on the property. Condition No. 8, Exhibit "A", states that the
Planning Commission may call up the use permit if it is determined that the
operation is detrimental to the community. Mr. Craig concurred with the
foregoing Condition No. 6.
Mr. Gordon Barienbrock, property owner of the subject property and the
adjacent property, appeared before the Planning Commission in support of
the subject request. Mr. Barienbrock did not anticipate a parking problem
inasmuch as Mariner's Mile currently has a high vacancy rate, and the
restaurants in the area would benefit the commercial area.

Findings:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applying
to the land and building referred to in this application, which
circumstances or conditions do not apply generally to land,
buildings and/or uses in the same District, inasmuch as the subject
property is wider than the typical lot in Corona del Mar, and is
subject to greater than normal setback area requirements which
restrict the amount of buildable area of the site.
2. That the granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of substantial property rights of the applicant,
inasmuch as the proposed project is generally comparable to the
size, bulk and height to other buildings in the surrounding
neighborhood and strict application of setback requirements results
in a lot with reduced buildable area, which would limit
'
development.
3. That the granting of the variance will not, under the circumstances
of the particular case, be materially detrimental to the health, safety,
peace, comfort, and general welfare of persons residing or working
in the neighborhood of the subject property and will not under the
circumstances of the particular case be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to property improvements in the
neighborhood.
4. That the granting of the modifications to the Zoning Code to
encroach one foot 3 inches into the required 20 foot front yard
setback and 6 feet into the required 10 foot rear yard setback, will
not be materially detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort,
and general welfare of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood of the subject property and will not under the
circumstances of the particular case be materially detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to property improvements in the
neighborhood, and further that such modifications are consistent

The public hearing was opened in connection with this item, and Mr.

the history of the subject site during the past 38 years, and the adjacent
residential communities that were developed since 1959. Prior to 1983
approximately 100 acres of the land were sold and the Belcourt and
Bay Ridge communities were developed. Subsequent to 1990 when

Ford Aerospace was sold to Loral further alternative development
options were considered by the company.
Mr. Ridner stated that when Ford contemplated converting an
industrial facility into a residential community, the company considered
the environmental conditions that exist at the site. It was concluded
that Ford was in a position to effectively address the environmental
conditions prior to the construction of residential housing. In
conjunction with the staff and the local and regional agencies that have
oversight authority for the environmental issues, the company feels
comfortable that solutions were made to satisfy the city and to protect
the interests of future homeowners.
Mr. Hal Lynch, 20 Corporate Plaza, Development Planning Consultant,
appeared before the Planning Commission. He said that one of the first
aspects of the development plan was to create a community that fit
'
within the existing community. One task was to create densities that
were comparable and/or compatible with the existing neighborhood.
Mr. Lynch described the access points into the 98 acre site, and the
location of the adjacent residential developments. The proposed
project has many similarities to the Belcourt residential area, i.e. access
into the community via Ford Road and at Bison Street. An extensive
landscaped area is proposed adjacent to Jamboree Road, and because
there would be no access from Jamboree Road the traffic signal would
be eliminated. Mr. Lynch compared the density of the adjacent Belcourt
development to the proposed 500 single family attached or detached
dwelling units at an average density of 5.1 units per acre. Mr. Lynch
addressed the street and landscape design that is planned for each of
the communities within the development, and the architectural design
for the structures.
Mr. Ridner reappeared before the Planning Commission to explain the
Fiscal Impact Analysis that was performed at the request of the City.
He said that the total one -time fees that will be generated as a result of
the project would be over $8 million. The on -going financial benefit to
the City as a result of the community would generate approximately

$570,000 of net fiscal revenue on an annual basis. Mr. Ridner
concurred with findings and conditions for approval in Exhibit "A ";
however, he requested that a minor clarification be made to Condition
No. 23, Exhibit "A".
John Douglas, Principal Planner, stated that the project is the reuse of
an existing facility. Therefore, in evaluating the concerns and impacts of
the project, staff looked at a project not compared to a vacant site but a
project compared to another type of project, i.e. an aerospace facility.
The comparison of the traffic study was between the previous use and
the proposed use. One major issue concerning the project through the
public review and public comment process is the potential traffic
impacts on the Eastbluff neighborhood. The traffic was evaluated in
the EIR and it was concluded that this is the type of situation where a
traditional traffic analysis does not work well. It is a fine grained,
detailed type of analysis, and based on the traditional type of analysis
the Ford project would not have what is considered a significant impact
on the Eastbluff neighborhood. There are residents in Eastbluff that
perceive an existing problem today without the Ford project and the
residents believe that an addition of 500 homes would exacerbate the
existing problem. As a result, staff met with representatives of
Eastbluff, Councilman Edwards, and representatives of Ford to discuss
possible solutions to the problem which is at the intersection of Bison
Street and Jamboree Road. Subsequent to the meeting, the City Traffic
Engineer sent a letter to the Eastbluff representatives that were in
attendance at the meeting indicating that geometric changes could be
implemented to address the traffic from outside the Eastbluff
neighborhood coming in at the Bison Street entrance.
A second issue is the existing soil and ground water contamination on
the property. The aerospace research and development industrial
facility was in operation for over thirty years, and over the course of
time there have been various leaks from underground storage tanks and
industrial procedures. Because the reuse is for residential, staff was
very sensitive to the proper handling and cleanup of the contamination
before the development of the site, not only for the future residents of
'

the site but also for the surrounding residential areas. As a result of the
high level of sensitivity, the City hired an independent expert in the area
of hazardous materials to advise in the preparation of the EIR and to
advise the Planning Commission and City Council. It is important that
the redevelopment not exacerbate any of the problems concerning soil
or ground water contamination. An independent consultant was hired
in hydro - geology and contaminated ground water to develop a comfort
level that there would be no additional impacts as a result of the
residential reuse of the project. It was also important to adopt a
mitigation strategy for the investigation and cleanup of the site that
would assure that the required cleanup of the property would be
completed before any grading and construction. The EIR addresses a
series of mitigation measures that present a step -by -step approach to
the mitigation cleanup of the site in conjunction with the development.
Mr. Douglas referred to a list of suggested changes to conditions and
mitigation measures that would provide an additional level of assurance
'
to the City that the cleanup would be done properly.
Mitigation Measure No. 21 - Pre - Development Health Risk
Assessments. Add the language Concurrent with submittal to OCHCA,
the applicant shall provide all data and reports in support of the
Health Risk Assessment to the City for its independent review and
analysis. The County Health Care Agency has primary jurisdiction
over the approval and cleanup of the site. The additional language
allows the City to participate in the review of the technical studies and
data so the City can be assured that the County Health Care Agency is
doing a proper job.
Mitigation Measure No. 23 - City Monitoring of Closure, Demolition
and Remediation Activities. The requirement is that the City will hire
an independent consultant to advise that all of the requirements and
conditions and mitigation measures regarding the cleanup of the site
have been carried out properly. The consultant would ensure there is
an objective analysis as opposed to a consultant being hired by an
applicant or developer. When the mitigation measure was drafted it was
established that there would be a dollar amount cap on the consultant

who advised the City in the monitoring program. There are concerns
that the dollar cap could obstruct the City or the consultant in doing a
complete and adequate job in monitoring the progress towards the
cleanup of the site. Staff has proposed to eliminate the dollar cap from
the mitigation measure, and language would be inserted that the
consultant would be selected and the consultant's scope of work would
be negotiated jointly by Ford and by the City. The mitigation measure
would read Prior to issuance of any demolition or grading permit the
City shall select and retain a qualified hazardous materials consultant
to monitor and verb compliance with all adopted mitigation measures
related to site closure, demolition, remediation and health risk
assessment activities, with the cost of this consultant to be paid by the
applicant. Both the consultant and the consultant's scope of work
shall be acceptable to both the City and Ford.
Recommended Condition No. 28 to the Tentative Map of Tract No.
14925, states that Prior to recordation of any final map the subdivider
shall submit a street naming program for approval by the Planning
Commission.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Pomeroy, Mr.
Douglas replied that there is no connection between the cleanup of the
site and the approval of the project. Ford initiated the cleanup of the
site independent of the project.
In response to questions posed by Chairman Gifford regarding
Mitigation Measure No. 23, Mr. Douglas explained that there was a
concern that by having a dollar cap on the consultant work that it is
possible that the City could be limited in its review and monitoring of
the progress. During negotiations between the City and the applicant it
was decided to remove the dollar cap so as not to present a constraint
to the City's ability to adequately review and monitor the work. The
applicant needs assurance that this is not just a blank check that could
get completely out -of -hand. It would be appropriate to have consultant
selection and scope of work approved jointly by the City and Ford
which would keep the dollar limit within reason. Mr. Douglas further

explained that the scope would not change but the level of detail of the
work involved could become greater. Commissioner Di Sano
supported the additional language to allow the City and Ford to
become partners based on his professional experience with the State,
the EPA, and the Regional Water Quality Board. Commissioner
Pomeroy also expressed his support of the additional language. Mr.
Douglas explained why it is in the best interest of Ford and the City
that the site be cleaned up properly.
Commissioner Adams expressed his concerns regarding the Traffic
Impact Analysis that was conducted for the EIK, and the response to
comments with respect to the potential for neighborhood intrusion in
the Eastbluff area. He suggested a study indicating how much of the
Belcourt development traffic enters into the Eastbluff neighborhood. In
reference to the EK Commissioner Adams stated that he had a
concern that the demolition and grading on the site development would
'
take 31 months and he questioned how it would affect the residents. In
response to questions posed by Commissioner Adams regarding the
EIR Mr. Douglas replied that for purposes of noise restrictions
nighttime hours are generally considered to be between 10:00 p.m. to
7:00 a.m. In response to Commissioner Adams' question as to whether
Ford would be required to fully construct the backbone street system as
part of this subdivision, Mr. Douglas further replied that a condition of
this map requires that the street be constructed and paved to
sufficiently protect the water and sewer lines that are beneath the street,
but full improvements such as curbs and gutters may be done with
subsequent residential development.
Commissioner Kranzley referred to the aforementioned modified
Mitigation Measure No. 23. He stated that part of the concept to hire a
consultant to oversee the proposed project was to provide an
independent source that would not be connected with the applicant. To
potentially restrict the scope of the work might not allow the consultant
to do the job that the consultant was asked to do. Mr. Douglas stated
that the intent is to draw up the scope of work before the consultant is
retained. The City and Ford would agree on the scope at the outset,

and the City would be assured that the scope is adequate and proper to
do a thorough job. It is in Ford's interest to cooperate because the
action is to be done prior to the issuance of any demolition or grading
permit. Chairman Gifford referred to the aforementioned Mitigation
Measure No. 21 indicating that the City would be provided with all of
the data and reports in support of the Health Risk Assessment for its
independent review and analysis, and she suggested that the following
be added to Mitigation Measure No. 23, stating ...health risk
assessment activities and to review and analysis the data and reports
referred to in Mitigation Measure No. 21....
Commissioner Pomeroy and Commissioner Adams discussed the trip
generation rates, and the distribution and assignment of trips in the
Belcourt development during the peak hours at the two Belcourt
entrances.
rMr.
Tim Paone, 19100 Von Karman, Irvine, Attorney for the applicant,
appeared before the Planning Commission. In reference to Mitigation
Measure No. 23, Mr. Paone stated that Ford's concern is of not having
the open checkbook, and of not having a potential scope of work which
is unknown to anyone. Ford is concerned that while there are certain
defined jobs that the consultant would do, they are concerned that
reasonable people could have some serious disagreements of what that
would entail. Ford's view is that the conditions should give the City a
reasonable comfort level that everything is being done correctly, and
that environmental matters are being taken seriously. He said that Ford
does not want it to be a political type of an issue where someone takes
the ball and keeps it rolling, and that is why Ford has asked for some
constraint. The condition as it was originally discussed with staff had a
$25,000 cap, and that was on the high end of what the City's current
consultant believes would be an appropriate number. Ford
subsequently agreed based on additional concerns that had been
expressed to raise that to allow for an analysis of the data that would
go into the application that went to other regulatory agencies. The
number that Ford considered was roughly double what the consultant
thought was appropriate. Subsequently, the discussions led to
-23-

dropping the cap altogether which is something that Ford is extremely
uncomfortable with. It is necessary that the consultant that is chosen
and the scope of work are acceptable and deemed reasonable by both
the City and Ford.
In response to Chairman Gifford's request that Mitigation Measure No.
21 be included in Mitigation Measure No. 23, Mr. Paone responded
that Ford does not have a problem with the amended condition.
Commissioner Kranzley stated that it was his opinion that in no way
would corners be cut in Mitigation Measure No. 23, and that different
opinions should be welcome and they should be encouraged. Mr.
Paone commented that there will be an inherent conflict of interest and
all of the parties involved do need to be partners, and they need to
indicate to the consultant what the appropriate scope of work is.
'
In response to comments expressed by Commissioner Adams
concerning the Eastbluff traffic, Mr. Webb stated that in evaluating
distributions of traffic the traffic study is very close in distributing trips
to all of the intersections within the area; however, it would be difficult
to predict how much traffic is going to go through the Bison Street
area through Eastbluff. The traffic on Bison Street and Eastbluff,
Bamboo Street and Bixia Street has been a topic of discussion in the
Eastbluff neighborhood since about 1972 -73, and in 1974 -75 the Board
of Directors spent a considerable amount of time debating the issue. In
1976, the City, at the request of the Board, installed a diverter at Bison
Street and Jamboree Road that only allowed people to make right turns
in and out of the tract. The City did it as inexpensively as possible
because the City felt that the community did not support it, and it lasted
roughly one month inasmuch as two- thirds of the polled residents
requested that it be removed. In 1993, the City prepared a study that
addressed the amount of pass - through traffic on Bison Avenue. In the
area between Alta Vista there is approximately 3,300 trips per day that
use that segment. It was estimated at that time that approximately 520
of the trips would pass through the tract, probably on Bison Street and
Bamboo Street and out the other side. The Bison/Bamboo connection
-24-

is approximately 1,200 trips. In consideration of the quasi - collector
residential streets throughout the community there are approximately
1,200 to 2,000 trips per day. He explained how it would be difficult to
evaluate the traffic distribution from the Belcourt development and the
proposed development based on the location of the entrances at Bison
Street and Ford Road, and the locations of the shopping centers. Mr.
Webb stated that when the Traffic Engineer met with the Eastbluff
residents he was asked to put together proposals on how the exterior
traffic could be controlled at the Bison Street and Jamboree Road
intersection. A number of proposals were put forth which would
restrict various turning movements. Any restrictions that are installed
at the intersection would impact the residents in the Eastbluff
development as much as they would the people coming from the
opposite direction. There are some relatively inexpensive trials that
could be used at the intersection if the problem occurs, i.e. at the Bison
Street intersection, which faces the tract, it is possible to restrict the
through traffic so that no one could go across into Eastbluff. If major
restrictions would be made in the Eastbluff tract there could potentially
be problems at Eastbluff, Ford Road, and Jamboree Road, and at
Eastbluff, University Avenue, and Jamboree Road. He stated that a
larger traffic study adequately predicts the traffic distribution through
the various different intersections in the surrounding areas.
Mr. Steve Osterman, 4425 West Coast Highway, appeared before the
Planning Commission. He stated that he was a real estate agent with
three listings on Bamboo Street, and that he was representing those
homeowners in addition to other residents in the area. W. Osterman

In response to a question posed by Commissioner Kranzley, Mr.

securing signatures. The homeowners want to be a good neighbor with
Ford Motor Land, and he said that the residents will work expeditiously

Mr. Douglas stated that there is a difference between existing traffic
conditions and the impacts of the Ford project. In order to impose a

public parks or other public destination points within Eastbluff. If 100
percent of the residents in Eastbluff were to agree that they wanted

the community college, the swim stadium, and Eastbluff Park. He said
in consideration of the foregoing uses that the trip generation would be

Mr. Paone reappeared before the Planning Commission on behalf of the
applicant. He said that Ford is sensitive to the Eastbluff residents
primary concerns regarding the existing traffic in the area and the
proposed project adds to their concerns. Mr. Paone stated that the
City's traffic model does work; however, no traffic model is perfect in
every situation. A new traffic study addressing the proposed project's
impact would not help because of the existing problem that needs a
solution, and if a new traffic study showed different results it would be
questionable how much the proposed project's pro -rata share would
be. Four traffic solutions were submitted by the City Traffic Engineer
to Mr. Patrick Sanders; however, there was no agreement on a
solution.
W. Paone suggested that the Planning Commission offer to the City
Council that in the Development Agreement for the project that there
'
be a provision that requires two things of Ford. Ford will contribute up
to 100 percent of the cost of any one of the four solutions or an
equivalent. The solutions do not include a gated community because
Ford is not responsible for the traffic problem in the area. Ford will
fund the cost of a traffic study to address the best traffic management
solution for Eastbluff. Commissioner Pomeroy suggested that because
the proposed project would have an impact on the traffic in Eastbluff
that one solution would be a right turn in and a right turn out of Bison
Street, and shut Bison Street off at Jamboree Road. Mr. Paone stated
that Ford would pay for the cost of the foregoing improvement.
Commissioner Adams stated that the traffic impacts need to be
quantified and either identified significant or insignificant. If a focused
addendum study to the traffic impact to the EIR would be done that
focused on attempting to quantify the amount of traffic from the Bison
Street Belcourt entrance that is traveling to and from the Eastbluff
community and if the traffic would be applied on a pro -rata basis based
on the number of dwelling units in the project then the record would
have quantified the impact of the Ford development. A significant
impact is an arbitrary decision. He said that if a traffic study would be

done and the traffic engineer put together some mitigation measures,

Chairman Gifford, Commissioner Adams, and Mr. Paone discussed W.
Paone's previous comments concerning what Ford would do for the
residents of Eastbluff. Commissioner Adams asked if Ford would
agree to bond for a certain dollar amount for improvements, and W.
Paone stated that the applicant would provide for any security that is
appropriate for the obligation. In response to a question posed by
Commissioner Adams, Mr. Webb explained that the cost of
implementing mitigation at the intersection would primarily be signing
and striping in the street and probably would not cost much more than
$10,000 to $15,000.
Mr. Webb explained that the City Traffic Engineer submitted the
'
following alternatives at the Bison Street and Jamboree Road
intersection. Bison Street on the Eastbluff side is the westerly side of
the intersection and Bison Street on the Ford side is the easterly side of
the intersection. Option A: leave Bison Street going in and out of the
Eastbluff tract on the westerly side as is, no changes. On the Ford side
restrict through movements coming from Bison into the Eastbluff tract,
i.e. a left turn and right turn only. That could be done with a traffic
island and a couple of signs at virtually no expense. Option B: Restrict
the through movements coming out of Eastbluff across Jamboree Road,
and just have a right and left turn move coming out of Eastbluff.
Option C: A right turn into Eastbluff and out of Eastbluff off of
Jamboree Road, there would be no through movements and there
would be no left turns from Jamboree into Eastbluff. Option D: A
solid barrier across the Eastbluff side of Bison Street that would totally
block all traffic from going in and out of Eastbluff.

no objection of what the project would do financially for the City, that
he would support including the applicant's terms concerning what they
would do for the Eastbluff residents in the Development Agreement.
Ms. Clauson stated that what the applicant has .offered as part of the
solution would be considered a public benefit item under the
Development Agreement, and not a mitigation measure under the EIR.
The Development Agreement would include the solution proposed in
the form of a 100 percent payment of one of the four solutions, or
another solution up to the equal cost of whatever the most expensive
solution would be if that would be appropriate. Chairman Gifford
stated that the reference would be for the funding of a more
comprehensive traffic study for Eastbluff.
Commissioner Di Sano and Commissioner Adams expressed their
support of Commissioner Pomeroy's aforementioned recommendation
that a solution be included in the Development Agreement.
In response to questions posed by Commissioner Adams, Ms. Clauson

whether the EIR provides the adequate information. The proponent
indicated that the information, and studies are adequate. Ms. Clauson
further explained that the public benefit offer to the Development
Agreement is a proposed solution to the problem that was expressed

Chairman Gifford suggested that the Development Agreement reflect
all of the mitigations and obligations that are contained in the mitigation
of the EK and she proposed an indemnification of any liability to the
City from the contamination on the site. Ms. Clauson stated that the
City Attorney's Office does not have a concern with respect to the
liability to the City for the contamination on the site because the City is
not a responsible party and there would be no public facilities. The
only area of concern would be if there would be a lawsuit some time in
