Proposed revisions to the Housing Element of the
Newport Beach General Plan and the acceptance of an
Item #8
Environmental Document.
INITIATED BY: The City of Newport Beach
HOUSING
Mr. Ward Connerly, the City's Housing Consultant, -
appeared before the Commission. Mr. Connerly stated
ELEMENT
that the comments have been received from the State
Department of Housing and Community Development. He
also stated that these comments have been considered.
GPA 81 -1
Mr. Connerly then stated that the Housing Element, ash
recommended, follows a sound course by letting the
market place dictate.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Thomas,
Mr. Connerly stated that 'rents are increasing more -
APPROVED
rapidly than purchase value. Commissioner Thomas stated
that by increasing the ownership, the rental stock is
decreased, which drives up the rents. Mr. Connerly
also stated that increasing ownership opportunity takes,
pressure off of the rental supply. Commissioner Thomas
•
stated that the rental prices will rise in any event.
Commissioner Balalis stated that in todays' market,
money is not available for the construction of rental
housing. He stated that many individuals are buying
ownership units for the purpose of renting.
Commissioner Thomas expressed his concern in that the
transfer of equities, inflates the price of the
rentals.
Commissioner Beek stated that the real.estate market
does not provide for more or less housing, only how
much the people who own the housing will get paid for
it. Mr. Connerly stated that movement from within the
housing market must be allowed to occur. He stated
that even if one additional unit is never built, the.
housing market can be very dynamic. Commissioner
Thomas stated that this Element should not be
interpreted as a housing market stimulation program.
He stated that the intent of this program is to provide
more housing and to deal with the present demand, in
terms of providing more than what is already existing.
Mr. Connerly stated that the purpose of the Housing
. Element is not to just produce more housing, but to
also provide the opportunities for movement within the
housing market. .

Commissioner King stated that the dynamics of the
housing market process and the creation of new housing
opportunites for different income levels are being
created outside of our controls. He stated that the
housing market moves in cycles.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Allen,
Mr. Connerly explained the negotiated development .
process, along with assessing the housing impact for a
project. He stated that this process has been used
effectively with Stanford University and how the
housing demands will be responded to. Commissioner
Allen concurred with the concept that the economic
forces should be working together to solve the
problems.
Commissioner Allen expressed her concern with the 25
percent density increase and clarified that the intent
is not to increase any one, undeveloped site by the
total of 446 units, which would be a City -wide 25
percent increase.
Commissioner Balalis stated that the Housing Element
• provides alternatives which may be considered, it does
not dictate that the alternatives.must be utilized.
Commissioner King stated that HCD should have placed
more emphasis on the recognition of the total land
values. He stated that the negotiated development
aspect of housing has the potential of becoming a
workable solution. He explained a program utilized by
a major corporation and developer in Mission Viejo
which allocated a percentage of the housing to the
employees for purchase.
Commissioner Beek stated that Commissioner King's ..
suggestion is very constructive and recommended that
the major employers throughout the area be invited to a
study session to discuss this concept. Commissioner
King stated that he could invite the developer of the
project to add his insights to the discussion.
Commissioner Beek asked Mr. Connerly if the option is
implied that the City may turn down a development which
makes the housing imbalance worse. Mr. Connerly stated
that the objective is to provide housing for the
development which is occurring. He stated that the
solution is not to turn the project down because it is
• having a housing impact.

10, 1981, from Mr. Thomas Nielsen, Vice President of
Community Development regarding the Newport Beach
Housing Element. Mr. Dmohowski stated that The Irvine
Company views the draft Housing Element, as a
reasonable and defensible attempt to meet the intent of
State law and also accommodate the specific :needs and
conditions of Newport Beach.
FINDINGS:
1. That the environmental document is complete and
has been prepared in compliance with the Cali-
fornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State
EIR Guidelines and City Policy. .
2. That the contents of the environmental document
have been considered in the various decisions on
this project.
3. That in order to reduce adverse impacts of the
proposed General Plan Amendment, all feasible
mitigation measures discussed in the environmental
document have been incorporated into the proposed
project. Specific economic, social or other con-
siderations make infeasible any other potential
mitigation measures or alternatives to the
• proposed project; and
4. Mitigation measures to be incorporated into the
proposed project are listed in the Draft EIR -
General Plan Amendment 81 -1 (H) Housing.

In response to a question posed by Commissioner Allen,
Mr. Dmohowski stated that with regard to the 25 percent
density increase, each individual site must be
evaluated on its own merit. Commissioner Allen asked
Mr. Dmohowski, if it was their understanding that the
City's intention in this Element has implied, in
anyway, an overall 25 percent density increase on The
Irvine Company's undeveloped residential sites. Mr.
Dmowhoski stated that they do not believe that the
Element, or the testimony and discussion by the
Commission has indicated that this would be the City's
intention.

(Commissioner Beek submitted the following written
statement in the interest of saving time. The Planning.
Commission members did not have the opportunity to
review and discuss his comments).
Commissioner Beek requested that his following comments
be included into the Minutes for the record:
"I shall vote against the motion because:
1. It provides for the elimination of affordable
housing by condo conversion at a time when the City is
under attack in the courts for not providing enough
affordable housing. The State has advised us that this
provision is contrary to the intent of the law and has
notified the plaintiffs of this advice. If we adopt
the provision nonetheless, we are adding to our legal
difficulties.
2. It does nothing to address the one facet of our
housing problem which could be usefully addressed - the
lack of housing for employees of the City's business
enterprises.
3. It presents its statistical data in a confused and
mislabelled fashion.
4. It fails to state plainly the overriding fact that
housing whose .price is determined by the open market_.
can never be affordable in Newport Beach unless it is
substandard or undesirable in some way.
These shortcomings, particularly No. 2, could have
been overcome if the Planning Commission had shown some
initiative, had made an effort to interest and involve
the public, and had held 'a series of hearings on the
Housing Element. Instead, the Commission has postponed
the matter from one meeting to the next all summer, and
has held no hearings."
X X X Commissioner King's motion for approval of General Plan
