C NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92658 -8915 (949)644-3200 To: Planning Commission From: Patrick J. Alford, Planning Manager Date: February 9, 2012 Re: Study Session on Newport Banning Ranch: Open Space, Parks and Trails This is the second of a series of study sessions on the proposed Newport Banning Ranch project. The purpose of the study sessions is to provide the Planning Commission and the public the opportunity to review and discuss details of the proposed project prior to public hearings. Public hearings before the Planning Commission and the City Council are tentatively scheduled for March and April, 2012. This study session will focus on the proposed open space preserve areas, parklands, and trail system. Approximately 250 acres of open space, 50 acres of parks, and seven miles of trails are proposed on the 401 -acre project site. In addition to reviewing the proposed uses and improvements of these areas, staff will examine the project's consistency with General Plan conservation and recreation policies and explore issues related to ownership and maintenance of open space areas and trails. An overview of the proposed habitat restoration, landscaping, and fuel management plans will also be presented. Staff has revised the schedule for subsequent study sessions. The February 23rd study session on the land use, development regulations, and architectural guidelines will be conducted as planned. A fourth study session, exclusively on the findings of the Draft Environmental Impact Report, will be held on March 8, 2012. February 23, 2012 Land Use, Development Regulations, and Architectural Guidelines 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. March 8, 2012 Draft Environmental Impact Report (Additional study session added) 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. 1 The study sessions are for discussion purposes only and no action will be taken by the Planning Commission. Interested parties are encouraged to limit their comments and questions to the issues that are the subject of each study session. Public notice of the study sessions was provided by the posting of the agenda at City Hall and on the City's website. In addition, notice was distributed through the City's Select Alert system and through a press release. `a 0 sr coµMUN'" JAN 242012 % VELOPMEWi QP NEWV O' //0 . 2012, /. --7 %x`705 OA-) 80O�TH 777-f; h- tuDais iJ4itf So 5�'I�c1 -- j l C'c/ict i� �JoT R��7 TN"t- �-►"1. -L crow /d Na7- /r�r« �y D2j ¢NTigT�dY.J C'D.NNEci7exJ5, ���.rf il1 �� T� Ye-� -' /rzcPin't7thVT 77� 7C'0 A)7,y12 06A B0 /Z 1-tedb /D IF 7-9,9 T s7-/1fi-7- &COW4ts \/I �7p/liiV77 -7L 7- 711,47- �)j /( ,O,q,6M tfOa A7 �TUDyI SfsSiaxl �. ! °� � -77& A%)GT ONE.

Dear Chairman Toerge, oF N, s o � WPOgS Please include these comments in the City's administrative record for the Newport Banning Ranch project. Please see below for comments I prepared for last night's study session but was unable to deliver due to meeting time running out. 'My name is Dorothy Kraus, and I live in Newport Beach. 1 appreciate the opportunity to make a brief comment today. The Newport Banning Ranch dEIR states that their park requirement is 15 acres based on the City's subdivision code that there be '5 acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents'. The proposed 16 acre North Community Sports Park includes: 6 lighted tennis courts 3 lighted soccer fields I lighted basketball court 1 baseball field 1 softball field Skateboard park 2 tot lots 1 fitness par course Public restrooms And, 174 off - street public parking at two locations, plus the possibility of another 20 parking spaces in a third location. NBR dEIR Exhibit 4.8 -1, North Community Park is enclosed for reference. This proposed Sports Complex is immense. Are surrounding communities such as Newport Crest, Newport Knolls, One Nautical Mile, and Brook View Newport expected to endure the noise, lights, traffic, pollution, and safety risks associated with this Sports Complex idea? (Highlighted for emphasis) In addition, the current park location doesn't work because it has been documented as a wintering site for the Burrowing Owl. I'd also like to make mention of the Coastline Community College project that is under construction at 1515 Monrovia. This is a 3 -story 55,000 square foot building with a 300 space parking lot directly adjacent to the structure. This facility butts up to the proposed Sports Complex. Please refer to the enclosed Newport Banning Ranch dEIR exhibit 4.8.10, Master Trails and Coastal Access plan, and envision the college right under the words '16th Street Parking Spaces', which is just slightly north of 15th street on Monrovia. Please also refer to the enclosed picture which was taken from Newport Crest of the construction going on at the college. Banning Ranch is in the foreground. The Newport Banning Ranch dEIR does not address the impacts that will result from this enormous Sports Complex and a 55,000 square foot facility existing side -by -side in such close proximity to residential communities. The degradation in the quality of life for people living in these communities will be significant. Consideration for moving this Sports Complex somewhere else needs to take place such as relocating it north of 17th street.' I'd also like to take this opportunity to appreciate your role as a Planning Commissioner. It must be a challenging job to represent such a beautiful city like Newport Beach with so many passionate constituents who desire to keep it pristine and beautiful. I must tell you that I was disappointed in the Study Session meeting last night. I felt that it was unfair that Mr. Steve Ray was put on the stop and blamed for taking up the public comment time when 3 times he tried to leave the podium. Mr. Tucker initiated the discussion on the Banning Ranch Conservancy's plan to acquire the property which unfortunately went on too long. This unfortunate event is a strong indication that the time of the day and duration of these study session meetings, and the inability for public comments to be made in excess of a few minutes is not working nor fair. However, I do appreciate that you encouraged Mr. Ray and all of the public to present letters to the Planning Commission making requests such as allowing extended time for the public to comment on a project that will have staggering implications to the City and people who live here. I hope the format of future Newport Banning Ranch Planning Commission meetings is changed to accommodate all vested parties. Thank you again.
