Community Development Director Hogan explained
that staff furnished the Planning Commission wit
some supplemental information relative to this
particular development. Contained in this
supplemental information are data pertinent to
traffic generation, staff's method of calculatir
the I.C.U.s for the development, and additional
information relating to the daily fluctuation
of traffic at one intersection as a sample for
the Planning Commission's information.
Planning Commission advised that four questions
were raised at this afternoon's Study Session
relating to the interpretation of the.Traffic
Phasing Ordinance, to wit:
1. How many digits should be carried in
computing the I.C.U.s?
2. Should intersections that pass the 1% test
•
have the I.C.U. test applied?
3. Should mitigation.measures which are not
related to this project be taken into
consideration?
4. Should intersections outside the City
limits of Newport Beach be taken into
consideration?
Planning Commission further advised that the
Commissioners reached a consensus pertinent to
questions 1 and 2. With respect to how many
digits should be carried in computing the I.C.0
it was the opinion of the Planning Commission t
four digits should be carried. With respect to
whether intersections that pass the 1% test
should have the I.C.U. test applied, it was the
opinion of the Planning Commission that they
should not. The intersections. would have to fa
both tests to be significant.
Planning Commission invited comments from the
audience relative to the interpretation of the
Traffic Phasing Ordinance and Roland Wedermeyer
appeared before the Planning Commission on beha
of Signal Development Corporation. Mr. Weder-
meyer explained that although he cannot address
himself to the interpretation of the Traffic
Phasing Ordinance, he concurs with the staff
report and recommendation contained therein.

Mr. Wedermeyer further explained that they
presently have four lots which could be develope
with four 10,000 sq. ft. buildings and,
consequently, not be subjected to the Traffic
Phasing Ordinance. However, they would prefer
to build two 20,000'sq. ft. buildings for
aesthetic reasons.
John Butler appeared before the Planning
Commission on behalf of the Central Newport Beac
Homeowners Association and voiced his opinion
that it is the City's responsibility to consider
adverse effects which may occur on intersections
outside the City limits as a result of activitie
within Newport Beach.
Barry Allen, 1021 White Sails Way, Corona del. Ma
appeared before the Planning Commission and
voiced concern that if the City permits develop-
ment in view of planned improvements which will
allegedly alleviate problems, it cannot be known
whether the problems will in fact be alleviated
until those improvements are actually constructe
Motion

Motion was made that intersections outside the
City limits are covered by the phrase "any,
intersection" in the Traffic Phasing Ordinance
and should be included in the analysis.

policy of pretending that what is just
a block outside our city limits isn't
there.
"Our citizens, and their customers, are
forced to battle their way through that
intersection. The alternate routes
are equally congested. The purpose of
the ordinance is to keep us from

contributing to making problems like this
one even worse. The ordinance limits its
application to those intersections where
the effect of the project is over one per-
cent. This is a natural and reasonable
radius. The City boundary is an unnatural
and unreasonable place to draw the line.
Traffic problems do not respect city
boundaries.
"If half the routes to and from a project
are to be exempted because they are the
other side of that arbitrary line, then
we are holding projects in the heart of
Newport Beach to a stricter standard than
those on the boundary. I urge the
Commission not to apply a.double standard."

that because Item 1, i.e., Big Canyon Area 10, is
a residential site, it will be considered with
the General Plan Amendment on tonight's agenda
and that Items 8 through 14 can be considered at
future public hearings since no plans have yet
been approved by the City with respect to these
items. Mr. Hogan advised that staff is suggesting
two possible alternative approaches to the P -C
amendments; that is, a reduction in total develop-
ment of these projects and /or the initiation of
a possible method of phasing the development of the
projects consistent with traffic improvements.
Public hearing was opened in connection with
Items 2 through 7 and David Neish, of Urban Assist,

requested clarification as to the approach the
staff is recommending in the staff report.
• Mr. Neish requested that this item be continued so

for each individual site.
David Calgan appeared before the Planning

David Neish, of Urban Assist, Inc., appeared
before the Planning Commission on behalf of
The Irvine Company. For General Plan Review and
Planned Community Amendment purposes, Mr. Neish
requested that The Irvine Company's future land
use projects be placed in four categories, as
follows: 1) Land use projects that are years
away from the initial planning stage; 2) those
residential projects The Irvine Company is
prepared to commit to reductions in density this
evening; 3) Newport Center (also included in
this category would be Bayview Landing, Castaways
Commercial area, Roger's Gardens residential
parcel, Newport Village, and the land parcel at
the northeast corner of the Pacific Coast Highway
and Jamboree Road intersection); and 4) those
parcels which The Irvine Company views as being
vested in terms of any application of the Traffic
Phasing Ordinance, i.e., land use entitlements
have been secured and construction has taken
place on the sites. Mr. Neish suggested that
those sites contained in Category 1 be considered
during a future General Plan Amendment process
and, meanwhile, left as is on the current
General Plan; that those sites contained in
Category 2 be acted on this evening; and that thos
sites contained in Categories 3 and 4 be considere
at the next Planning Commission hearing on this
matter. Mr. Neish then summarized Peter Kremer's
declaration before the Newport Harbor - Costa Mesa
Board of Realtors in which he advised of The
Irvine Company's support of a development fee
district concept that would provide major
contributions toward road improvements. Mr. Neish
stressed that this proposal was made by Mr. Kremer
with the provision that the developer must receive
reasonable assurance of the land uses and densitie
which will be permitted. Mr. Neish advised that
The Irvine Company is prepared to commit many of
