Chairman Beckley advised that some portions of the
hotel were being redesigned at the present time
and consequently the hearings on Items No. 1 and
No. 2 would primarily attempt to determine whether
or not the concept of the project was acceptable;
and, if so, the hearings would then be continued
to allow for further review of the proposed
project.
Community Development Director Hogan advised that
the staff had suggested some alternative designs
for the hotel and the proposed hotel owners
(Holiday Inn) agreed to submit some alternative
designs for the Commission's review and considera-
tion which would be available for the meeting of
January 22, 1976. Mr. Hogan reviewed the staff
report and the alternative land uses discussed
therein; advised that the proposed development
was consistent with the General Plan and any of
the suggested alternate land uses would require an
amendment to the General Plan; and reviewed the

traffic analysis which compared the peak hours of
the various alternative land uses to the proposed
project.
Public hearings were opened in connection with
these items.
Dave Neish, Manager, Planning Administration, The
Irvine Company, appeared before the Commission and
presented a model of the project, pictures of the
model, and a rendering of the site and surrounding
area. He reviewed the proposed project as to
location, net area of the various uses within the
project, and percentage of land coverage. Mr.
Neish pointed out that the designation of the land
use was adopted by the City in 1973 on their own
inititive and notat the request of The Irvine
Company. He further pointed out that the bluff
would be preserved and amenities would be provided
such as public view points, public access walks
and bicycle trails, as well as the proposed use
which would cater to the general public. He
advised of an analysis done by The Irvine Company.
•
which came to the same conclusion as that of the
City Council when the General Plan was adopted in
that this type of land use designation was the
most appropriate for the site. Conceptual plan-
ning then followed, however, s.ince there were many
concerns relative to existing conditions from an
environmental standpoint, The Irvine Company
reviewed.the matter with the City planning staff
and the environmental consultants in order that an
environmental impact report could be developed
which would identify the environmental constraints
and guidelines to be incorporated in the develop-
ment of the site plan. Several alternative site
plans were prepared and reviewed which resulted
in the proposed plan being presented for consider-
ation.
Eric Hanson, with Laventhol & Horwath, C.P.A.,,
Los Angeles, appeared before the Commission and
reviewed in detail a marketing study developed
for the hotel which indicated the site would
support the proposed project. Following review
of the report, which was filed with the Community
Development Department, Mr. Hanson answered
questions of the Commission relative to emphasis
on the local convention and visitors bureau that
•
was marketing the Newport area as a convention
site; the radius surrounding Newport Beach within
which people would be willing to stay and still be
attracted to the Newport Beach area; the room

saturation level for the Newport Beach area, both
present and future, and the ability to utilize the
available rooms as the supply increased; the
increase in the tourist market within the next
few years and the increase in demand for rooms due
to increase in office and commercial businesses;
and the distinction between the airport area and
the Newport Center area.
Commissioner Williams raised the question as to,
whether or not additional people should be
encouraged to come into an already crowded and
congested area.
Commissioner Heather questioned the nature of
signs and it was pointed out that because of the
sensitive nature of signs as well as the particula
site; a coordinated signing program should be
developed and brought back for review by the
Commission through the Site Plan Review procedure.
In reviewing the report, Commissioner Seely felt
there was little doubt that the proposed facility
•
would be successful and voiced concern that the
attraction oriented towards the tourist trade
would create an additional impact on traffic not
only during peak hours but throughout the day and
especially during the summer months.
Dave Neish appeared before the Commission to
respond to the issue of traffic and pointed out
that the trips generated by the proposed facility
were taken into consideration when the detailed
traffic study was made for the City and these
facts were used in the development of the EIR
for Holiday Harbor.
Planning Commission discussed the traffic analysis
for the proposed project as well as alternate uses
of the land and Commissioner Agee felt that one
of the critical factors was the traffic and use
of the site.
Dave Neish appeared before the Commission to
comment on the P.M. peak hour traffic and advised
that the additional traffic generated by the
project would not exist for another two or three
years and by that time the new Coast Highway
bridge should be a reality as well as other
•
improvements along Coast Highway which will pro-
vide a greater highway capacity.

Planning Commission discussed the traffic pro -
jections for Coast Highway and questioned whether
the highway would ever be able to handle the
traffic.
City Engineer Nolan advised that the capacity of
Coast Highway would improve in segments, project
by project, and the traffic situation which
improved in some areas would become worse in
other area's until all the improvements were
accomplished.
City Traffic Engineer Darnell appeared before the
Commission to comment on the "planned deficiency"
of Coast Highway as adopted in the Circulation
Element of the General Plan and the unknown factor
as to what the effect of the deficiency would be
on other sections of the community. It was felt
that factors such as the extension of the Corona
del Mar freeway downcoast would be of benefit in
terms of through traffic, however, the timing and
funding factors were questionable. Those sections
of Coast Highway which could be improved within
•
the next ten years because of conditions of.
approval, dedications of improvements or right -of-
way, etc. obtained through approval of various
projects, are located between Dover Drive and
MacArthur Boulevard and hopefully will maximize
the capacity and reduce the deficiency to a free -
flowing system. He also commented on the sections
of Coast Highway through Corona del Mar, Mariner's
Mile and West Newport.
Many concerns of the Commission were discussed
such as foot traffic across Coast Highway, addi-
tional traffic of any kind at the present time,
design of the intersections to move traffic more
efficiently, and timing as to proposed widening
of various sections of Coast Highway including
the bridge.
At this point, Planning Commission and Staff
discussed conditions which could be attached to
the project relative to a delay in construction
until such time as the bridge was widened and
traffic again reviewed.
Harry Kamph, 1320 East Ocean Front, Balboa,
appeared before the Commission on behalf of the
.
Balboa Peninsula Point Association and advised
that until such time as the bridge was widened to
six lanes, no project should be approved at this
location. He also commented on the low occupancy

rates which presently exist in the surrounding
hotels and pollution in the bay.
Frank Fulton, President of the Balboa Island
Improvement Association appeared before the
Commission in opposition to the request and
commented on the adverse effects which would be
created due to the increase in traffic.
Frank Robinson, 1007 Nottingham Road, Westcliff,
member of the Orange County Harbors, Beaches and
Parks Commission, appeared before the Commission
to comment on the precedent which may:be set by
this project, the increased burden on the City
with respect to traffic and the potential increase
in airport traffic. He felt that the widening of
the bridge was a compromise for relief of existing
traffic and not the answer for increased expansion
and future development along Coast Highway.
Ed Nigro, General Manager of the Newporter Inn
and President of the Newport- Harbor Convention and
Visitors Bureau, appeared before the Commission to
•
comment on the existing facilities in the area and
the degree to which the City may become a destin-
ation and resort community. He advised that the
study made by Laventhol & Horwath was done over a
year ago and no longer reflects the present
situation. He commented on the trend of the
convention and visitors growth within the area and
the resistance to efforts of providing a bureau
which would encourage further business to the area
In summary he advised that the industry was in a
transitory period providing for rapid growth
without an increase in the demand which was furthe
complicated by the lack of ability to move people
in and out of the area by means other than the
automobile.
Forrest Fulmer appeared before the Commission on
behalf of the Board of Directors of the Newport
Heights Association, and advised they would like .
to see the present traffic problems at lease
partially alleviated before further congestion
was added.
Bob Millar, President of the Little Balboa Island
Property Owners Association appeared before the
Commission and voiced concern with the traffic
•
because of the access problem to Balboa Island;
the inclusion of the shops along Marine Avenue
in the marketing of other commercial and residen-
tial entities; and the lack of parking and overall

uweL
congestion on the island. He felt there were too
many unknown factors and inadequate information to
warrant approval of the request, that a residen-
tial development would be much better, and that
the City must ask itself "do we want to be a
convention and hotel city or do we want to be
a residential community?"
Al Auer, Vice President of The Irvine Company,
appeared before the Commission in rebuttal and
advised they felt they were good citizens and
have tried to do what the staff, Planning Commis-
sion, and City Council have recommended by follow-
ing the General Plan in the proposed development
of the site. The development provides for public_
views and open space, makes the best use of the
natural contours, and has not been overbuilt. He
advised that the reason there were no other hotels
on Irvine land was because they wanted to wait for
the time more rooms were needed and did not feel
they should be penalized for waiting until now in
order to give existing hotels the opportunity to
get started. They feel the project is good, that
it fits the site, that it will be three years
before occupancy, and by that time the concerns
should be alleviated.
In answer to Commissioner Seely's question as to
how much of the project should be developed, Mr.
Auer advised that the hotel was the primary part
and certainly the other uses could be discussed,
however, in their development of the site, it was
felt that the improvements as proposed needed each
other to make it viable.
Curt Herberts, 2949 Cliff Drive, appeared before
the Commission and commented that the decision had
to be made as to whether Newport Beach was to
become a commercial town with congestion, confu-
sion, tall buildings, etc., or remain the commun-
ity as it now exists.
At this point, Planning Commission discussed
whether the matter should be continued or the
public hearing closed and the implications of such
an action.

Motion was made to continue the public hearing to
the meeting of January 22, 1976.
Commissioner Williams voiced concern with the
procedure that the matter was set for hearing on
this date, however there was knowledge that all
testimony would not be heard and therefore it was
predetermined that the matter would be continued.
Commissioner Heather commented it was her under-
standing that additional studies had been request-
ed of the applicant but would not be available at
this point in time and therefore the matter was
to be continued for that purpose.
Commissioner Seely felt the continuance was
appropriate because of the recommendation in the
staff report as well as the comments made by the
Chairman prior to the hearings and although he
may have heard enough testimony to take action on
the matter at this time, the applicant should be
allowed the opportunity to make a full presenta-
tion and furnish the information previously
requested.
Commissioner Tiernan voiced his concern that no
action was being taken on a matter which had been
advertised for hearing with the assumption that
an action would be taken at the end of the hearing
and was opposed to a continuance which would tend
to loose the continuity of thoughts which have
been presented.
Commissioner Agee advised that he failed to see
what difference an alternate design would make
when the general issue was whether or not this
type of development was desirable for the site.
He further commented that it appeared as though
the Commission had no choice but to continue the
matter since all the facts had not been presented,
however, this procedure would be setting a pre-
cedent and felt that all facts should be presented
at one time in order that action could be taken
on the matter at the conclusion of the hearing,
without a continuance, if so desired.
Commissioner Parker felt that any applicant was
entitled to a full hearing and since it was the
•
understanding of both the applicant and the
Commission that the matter would be continued,
action should be taken to do so.

As a point of clarification relative to the con-
tinuance, Community Development Director Hogan .
advised that the applicant was prepared for a full
public hearing at the;last meeting, however,
because of the lateness of the hour, the Planning
Commission continued the matter to this date. In
the meantime, the applicant took into considera-
tion the staff's recommendation that alternate
proposals be prepared for the Commissions consider
ation but were unable to prepare them in the time
frame within which the continued public hearing
had been established. Consequently, because of
the legal aspect, in that the public hearing was
continued to this date, it was the obligation to
either hear the matter or continue it and since .
the applicant was unable to prepare the alternate
proposals as requested by.the staff, they asked
that it be continued further to give them the
opportunity to prepare the alternate proposals
but at the same time it was felt there would be
a benefit to hear those aspects of the proposal
which could be considered without the alternate
proposals in order that the applicant and staff
could have an understanding of the Commission's
and public's point of view. Staff, therefore,
accepts part or all of the responsibility.for. the
requested continuance.

Community Development Director Hogan briefly
reviewed the purpose of the public hearings and
the staff's request to consider several alter-
native proposals in order that direction may be
given relative to development of a plan and
preparation of an environmental impact report.
Staff recommended that following review of the
alternative proposals and receipt of public input,
the matter be continued for the purpose of making
revisions as directed by the Commission and the
preparation of an environmental impact report.
Senior Planner Talarico appeared before the Com-
mission to review this matter. He advised of two
letters which had been received and distributed
to the Commission subsequent to receipt of the
staff report. He reviewed the Specific Area Plan
and the Specific Plan District. These two
documents were developed after many study
sessions with the property owners in the
area. He reviewed a proposal which would
extend Avon Street east from Tustin Avenue to a
parking lot proposed to be located on property
presently owned by Cal Trans, as well as alter-
native proposals which would also connect Avon
Street to Coast Highway easterly of Tustin Avenue.
Public hearings were opened in connection with
these two items.

Clarence Herbert, 243 Ocean View, appeared before
the Commission and questioned the Specific Area
Plan with its acquisition and funding program. He
felt that the Specific Area District should be
finished before any new programs were discussed
and did not recall discussion of parking other
than the incentive program.
Community Development Director Hogan explained
that the two documents were developed simultan-
eously, one being the physical development for
such things as acquisition of property for parking,
widening of streets, etc. which would require
expenditure of public funds and the other being
the regulations for development of private pro -
perty and the zoning designation.
Ed Riddle, 227 Ocean View, appeared before the
Commission to comment on the parking situation
and felt that the parking lots to be acquired by
the City were primarily for the uses on the south
side of Coast Highway who could not provide park-
•
ing on their own property and was opposed to
spending money for such
parking.
For background information, Senior Planner
Talarico appeared before the Commission and
advised that a study was made in March, 1970 of
existing land uses and their relationship to the
existing zoning for required parking. The study
indicated there was a deficiency of 170 off-
street parking spaces in the area. In addition,
131 on- street parking spaces would be eliminated
with the widening of Coast Highway.
As a result of the above, staff was directed to
investigate the possibility of creating parking
lots in the area which would provide the needed
parking.
In answer to the question of allowing five -story
buildings within the district, Mr. Talarico
advised that at one time the plan was to allow
a height of up to 50 feet, however, that has been
changed to the height limit which is currently
existing in the area.
The implication of the City's responsibility to
acquire and fund the parking lot, should the plan
•
be adopted, was discussed and it was pointed out
that the City would work towards implementation
of whatever plan was approved, however, if it was
determined at a later date that the Ci.ty would
not be able to implement such a plan because of

.....ff,.
problems with acquisition, funding, etc., the plan
could be revised to eliminate the parking lot.
Don Williams, 2936 Cliff Drive, member of the
Executive Committee of the Newport Heights Associa-
tion, appeared before the Commission to comment on
the height limit. He felt that the maximum height
should be 26 feet and any provisions which would
allow buildings to exceed that height should not
be permitted. He presented pictures indicating
the effect of allowing structures to exceed the
26 foot height limit and a petition with approxi-
mately 300 signatures (which was subsequently
returned to Mr. Williams) in opposition to any
building which would exceed the 26 foot height
limit in the Mariners Mile Area from the Arches
bridge to and including the Balboa Bay Club.
Curt Herberts, 2949 Cliff Drive, appeared before
the.Commission to comment on the plan and felt
there would be many conflicts; that marine uses
could not compete with restaurant uses; that the
maximum height limit should be 26 feet; opposed
•
City subsidized parking lots created for special
interests and felt that they would.not be used
as intended.
At this point, Community Development Director
Hogan reviewed the procedure for processing
variance and use permit requests and the criteria
which must be met in order to approve` requests
which exceed the height limit of 26 feet to a
maximum of 35 feet.
Virginia Herberts, 2949 Cliff Drive, appeared
before the Commission in opposition to any height
limit in excess of 26 feet.
Orin Ridell, 2940 Cliff Drive, appeared before the
Commission and advised that the 26 foot height
Limit would preserve the view of both the bay and
the ocean from Cliff Drive and the adjacent public
park.
Ed Spiker, 2932 Cliff Drive, appeared before the
Commission in opposition to exceeding a height
limit of 26 feet.
.
D. T. Daniels, 2071 Coast Highway, with Ardell
Investment Company, appeared before the Commission
in favor of the 26/35 Foot Height Limitation
District as presently allowed by the Municipal
Code.

Iva Richardson appeared before the Commission and
stated she was the owner of property fronting on
Coast Highway which would be most affected by plans
to extend Avon Street through to Coast Highway.
She felt that if one of the alternate plans were
adopted, funds should be raised to purchase the
property immediately because of the hardship which
would be created in preventing any interim develop-
ment and use of the land. She also questioned the
height limit to be established adjacent to the
bluffs and felt that a higher limit could be
established without affecting views from Cliff
Drive.
Mr. Block, who is constructing a house on Avon,
appeared before the Commission and suggested an
alternative plan which would provide access to the
parking lot from Cliff Drive, cul -de -sac Ocean
View and Tustin Avenues, and extend Avon through
to Coast Highway. This plan would then separate
the residential area from the commercial area and
eliminate the heavy through traffic on Tustin
Avenue.
•
Vin Jorgenson, 1533 Antigua Way, appeared before
the Commission and advised he felt that the
property owners should have another meeting to
discuss the new alternatives being proposed as
this was a new concept. He emphasized the need
for more parking on the north side of Coast High-
way not only for the benefit of the businesses
located on the south side but also those located
on the north side as well. He felt that the
provisions for added parking would create an
incentive for redevelopment and help to clean up
the area.
Susan Cuse, 2400 W. Coast Highway, concurred with
Mr. Jorgenson and felt another meeting should be
held in connection with the new concept being
presented relative to the extension of Avon Avenue.
Community Development Director Hogan again review-
ed the alternative plans and advised that the
question at this time was whether or not they
should be explored in the preparation of the
Environmental Impact Report.

Planning Commission discussed the cost of the
various alternatives and it was pointed out that
the value of the land acquisition for the parking
lot was not necessarily the actual cost because
of various methods of funding and acquisition such
as dedication of right -of -way for streets, etc.
The possibility of extending Avon Street through
the "Brown" property was discussed and it was
pointed out that until a more complete traffic
study had been made, the actual location of the
extension and intersection with Coast Highway
could not be determined.
Chairman Beckley voiced concern with the intensity
of uses and felt that if parking was to be covered,
as in the case of automobile dealerships, it shoul
be counted as buildable area. He also voiced
concern with the inclusion of hotels as an accept-
able use and their effect on traffic and the
support systems. He also felt that the City had
an obligation. to preserve the view from the bluffs
especially since the City had purchased the church
property and two adjacent lots for a public park.
