INDEX
Mr. Van Stevens of Phi:llips,Brandt and. Reddick,
presented an.aerial photo of the area and explainei
the.boundaries of the area in.relation to the
City of Newport Beach. Mr. Stevens also pre -
sented a diagram of existing conditions which
depicted the relationship between surrounding lan
uses.
Mr. Stevens stated that based on their analysis,
the conceptual land use diagram was developed,
which was also presented to the Commission. He
stated that the criteria utilized for the land
use would not preclude the marina or water re-
lated uses, which is in keeping with. the intent
of the City of Newport Beach..
Mr. Stevens stated that the land uses they are
proposing for the 50 acres within the City will
balance the plan and work well with.the.current
long term oil leases. He stated that in.changing
the property -in question from low density resi-
dential to employment uses, will also change the
traffic generation. He stated that future- meetin
will analyze and justify that the existing cir-
culation system will support the facilities,
especially in the future when the ultimate system,
is built out. He added that the employment uses
will have a very positive impact on the area.
He stated that they envision some form of resi-
dential uses for the upper portions of the bluff
area.
Mr. Stevens stated that a General Plan Amendment
has been submitted to the County of Or be-
cause a land use designation of 5.3 Recreational.
is not appro.priate for the entire site...He,state(

the Commission voted to delete the Condominium

Ordinance.

hiring a consultant, which will assist the staff

Commissioner Allen referred to-the August 21st
minutes of 2 :00 p.m. and stated that her motion
on the commercial walkway should be included
in the Plan. Mr. Lenard referred the Commission.
to Page 1 of the September 4th staff report,
where the staff drafted the suggested policy
language on this issue.
Mr. Steve Speck, representing Urban Assist, Inc.,
appeared before the Commission. Mr. Speck sug-
gested that the wording be revised to read,
"The City of Newport Beach shall require, where
feasible, the granting of access easements in all
new commercial waterfront developments in order to
establish continuous access along the bay. .
Mr. Speck stated that by adding the wording "where
feasible" this would allow for specific review on
a project by project basis. He stated that there
are commercial uses such as gas docks, boat yards,
and haul -out facilities which are not conducive
to an access provision. Additionally, public
safety amd security standpoints must be considerec
He stated that.perhaps these uses need to be
spelled out in the report.
Commissioner Allen stated that the motion speci-
fically dealt with these concerns. She stated
that it was her intention that this not be arbi-
trary, but that it be unilateral. She added that
the language states that it be "consistent with
public safety and protection of private property.
She also added that her intent was not to provide
access across the boat portion of marinas. She
made reference to Lido Village and the access to
the commercial buildings, not to the boats.
Mr. Speck stated that he felt that the addition
of "where feasible" would make the discretion
on a case by case basis.
Mr. Lenard stated that the reference to security
and protection of private property was deleted
because.a public walkway-is an inherent conflict
with security and protection of private property.

Commi.ssioner Beek stated that the moti.on should.be
broadened because there.are also supporting uses,
such as engine repair, which does not necessarily
