The amendment would permit residential development that includes a minimum of 30 percent of the units affordable to lower- income households with the approval of a Site Development Review. Developments meeting this criteria will also be eligible for a waiver of the minimum 10 -acre site area required. The amendment would also establish minimum development regulations including building height, setbacks, and parking requirements. RECOMMENDATION 1) Conduct a public hearing and; 2) Adopt the draft resolution recommending City Council adoption of the Newport Place Planned Community Development Plan Amendment (Attachment No. PC 1). Airport Area PC Amendment June 7, 2012 LOCATION GENERAL PLAN ZONING USE Includes Mixed -Use Area Bounded by Horizontal (MU -H2), Newport Place Planned MacArthur Blvd., General Commercial Community Development various commercial and Jamboree Rd., Bristol St. Office (CO -G) and Plan (PC -11) general office North, and Birch St. General Commercial C -G parcels Proposed Residential Overlay within PC -11 Only on MU -H2 parcels within PC -11 Adds residential overlay to PC -11 to facilitate development of affordable housing No change to existing uses. Amendment adds opportunity for affordable housing development. Airport Area PC Amendment June 7, 2012 Page 3 Background As part of the 2006 comprehensive General Plan update, the Airport Area was identified as a new area for housing opportunities and was designated Mixed -Use Horizontal (MU -H2), which allows for mixed -use and multi - family residential. With its density ranging from 30 to 50 du /acre, the Airport Area was also identified in the 2008 -2014 Housing Element as an area to potentially accommodate affordable housing. During review of the 2008 -2014 Housing Element, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) identified two constraints to the development of affordable housing within the Airport Area that needed to be addressed prior to their finding that the Housing Element meets state law requirements. The first constraint recognized by HCD is General Plan Policy LU 6.15.6 that requires residential neighborhoods in the Airport Area to contain a minimum of ten (10) contiguous acres centered on a neighborhood park and other amenities. To address this constraint, staff worked with HCD to develop a new Housing Element program (HP 3.2.2) requiring the City to create a waiver or exception provision to the minimum 10- acre site requirement for affordable housing projects. The second constraint identified by HCD relates to the zoning of the sites within the Airport Area. Although the General Plan permits residential development on sites designated mixed -use within the Airport Area, the sites remain zoned only for commercial and industrial land uses by the Koll Center (PC -15) and Newport Place (PC- 11) Planned Communities'. To address this issue, Housing Element program HP 3.2.3 was developed that requires Planned Community text amendments to allow residential developments that include: 1) a minimum of 30 percent of the units affordable to lower - income households; and 2) include densities between 30 du /acre and 50 du /acre consistent with the General Plan land use designation and policies for the Airport Area. Residential developments meeting these requirements will be permitted subject to a Site Development Review (Attachment No. PC 2). HCD has found the 2008 -2014 Housing Element compliant with State Housing Element Law with the adoption of Housing Programs 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 (Attachment No. PC 3) by the City and contingent upon implementation of these new programs. Newport Place Planned Community Newport Place is a Planned Community in the Airport Area that was originally designed in the early 1970's with clusters of office parks and industrial uses. The area has evolved with light industrial uses being replaced overtime with commercial support retail and office uses within the original design. The introduction of the MU -H2 land use classification created an opportunity for residential uses. The boundary of PC -11 begins at Macarthur Boulevard extending westerly bounded by Jamboree Road, Bristol Street North, and Birch Street as depicted on the vicinity map. The residential overlay opportunity spans only across parcels that have the General Plan Land Use designation ' An Amendment for Koll Center (PC -15) will be processed at a future dare.

Additionally, a few minor changes were made throughout the PC -11 text to update references to City Departments. The revised PC- text is found in the draft Resolution as Exhibit "A" (Attachment No. PC 1) Residential Overlay The residential overlay provides for the opportunity to develop affordable residential projects. Affordable residential projects that qualify for the residential overlay would be permitted subject to a Site Development Review process per Zoning Code Section 20.52.080. Notwithstanding, the review authority for site development review listed in Table 5 -2 of the Newport Beach Zoning Code, the review authority for site development review shall be the Planning Commission regardless the number of dwelling units proposed. A Site Development Review provides a process to ensure consistency with General Plan policies related to the preservation of established community character, and expectations for high quality development and to ensure proper integration of the project with the area. To qualify for the residential overlay projects must provide the following: • A density 30 to 50 dwelling units per acre. • A minimum of 30 percent of the units must be affordable to lower- income households for a minimum of 30 years. • Must meet the basic site development standards of the residential overlay. • Residential dwellings shall be permitted only as replacement of existing nonresidential uses pursuant to General Plan Policy LU 6.15.5. The number of peak hour trips generated by new development could not exceed the number of trips that result from the existing nonresidential uses. Residential developments that qualify for the residential overlay are subsequently exempt from General Plan Land Use Policy LU 6.15.6 and have no minimum site area requirement. Development Standards of Residential Overlay The existing Planned Community text does not provide residential development standards. The existing PC text allows for a range of heights depending on the site from 50 feet to 167 feet or 9 stories. Staff consulted with affordable housing developers to determine that a height limit of 55 feet is appropriate to facilitate a four -story building that typically can accommodate the 30 to 50 unit per acre density range. The 55 -feet may be exceeded with the approval of the Site Development Review if additional findings can be made pursuant to Zoning Code Section 20.30.060 C.3 (Attachment No. PC 4). The Planned Community text does include commercial setback and landscape Airport Area PC Amendment June 7, 2012 Page 6 standards including special landscaped streets (Jamboree Road, Bristol Street North, Birch Street, and MacArthur Boulevard) which are maintained in the proposed residential overlay to preserve the existing development pattern of the PC. Staff recommends using the Zoning Code Multiple Residential (RM) standards including additional landscaping, parking and signs where appropriate. There is no floor area limit proposed as development would be limited sufficiently by other development standards. The residential overlay also includes development standards related to projects providing sufficient amenities, integration of projects within the existing PC, and integration of the affordable units within a specific project. Airport Land Use Commission Projects requiring Zoning Code amendments including Planned Community amendments that are located within the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) Airport Planning Area must be referred to the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) for a determination of consistency with the AELUP prior to adoption by the City. The Airport Land Use Commission is scheduled to review the PC Amendment at the ALUC meeting on June 21, 2012. Staff anticipates ALUC will find the project consistent with AELUP since they reviewed the 2006 General Plan update and the MU -H2 designations were deemed consistent with the ALEUP. Additionally, ALUC found the 2008 -2014 Housing Element including programs and implementation consistent with the AELUP. The proposed height limits within the PC text are required to comply with the requirements of Zoning Code Section 20.30.060.E. (Airport Environs Land Use Plan for John Wayne Airport and the Airport Land Use Commission Review Requirements). Environmental Review A Negative Declaration (SCH No. 2011091088) was prepared for the 2008 -2014 Housing Element, which includes Housing Programs HP3.2.2 and 3.2.3, in accordance with the implementing guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), State CEQA Guidelines, and City Council Policy K -3. The document was made available for public review and comment during a 30 -day review period from September 30 to October 31, 2011 and subsequently adopted by the City Council on November 22, 2011. The document is on file with the Community Development Department. A subsequent negative declaration for the project is not required to be prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 because the proposed amendment implements Housing Programs HP3.2.2 and 3.2.3, and does not constitute "substantial changes" that would involve new significant environmental effects or result in the adoption of mitigation measures. Future residential development that could occur pursuant to the proposed amendment would be subject to further site - specific environmental evaluations. Airport Area PC Amendment June 7, 2012 Page 7 Communications Received Staff received comments from resident Mr. James Mosher regarding the proposed amendment when it was first scheduled for a public hearing before the Planning Commission on April 19, 2012 (Attachment No. PC 5 provides a link to the staff report). As requested by staff, at the April hearing the Planning Commission tabled the item due to scheduling and noticing issues. Mr. Mosher's comments are found in Attachment No. PC 6 and are addressed below: 1. Typographical, numbering and reference errors that were identified have been corrected in the current draft. Please note that the attached draft appears to have spacing and numbering errors due to the underline /strikeout version which is necessary to show the changes. The final PC text will display accurate spacing and numbering. 2. The subject amendment is only for the purpose of adding the residential overlay but does not remove or change other components of the existing Planned Community text, other than to update references to City Departments. Therefore, the comments regarding the organization and content in the existing PC text will be noted but these issues are not within the scope of the proposed amendment. 3. The reference to the Municipal Operations Department was an error and has been deleted. 4. Comments regarding the specifics of possible future affordable housing covenants are not addressed within the proposed PC text. The PC text requires a minimum 30 -year affordability covenant be established for projects subject to the proposed provisions. However, the actual affordable housing covenants agreements would be created on a project -by- project basis. Public Notice Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, posted at City Hall a minimum of 10 days in advance of this hearing consistent with the Municipal Code, mailed to all property owners within PC -11, and to all property owners within the 300' radius of the boundaries of PC -11. The notice was e- mailed to all parties on the housing interest list. Finally, the item appeared upon the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the city website.

It is recognized that allowing a smaller scale development within an established commercial and industrial area may result in land use compatibility problems and result in a residential development that does not provide sufficient amenities (i.e. parks) and /or necessary improvements (i.e. pedestrian walkways). Therefore, it is imperative that the proposed waiver include provisions for adequate amenities, design considerations for the future integration into a larger residential village, and a requirement to ensure collaboration with future developers in the area.

Housing Program 3.2.3 The City shall amend the Newport Place (PC 11) and Koll Center (PC 15) Planned Community texts to allow residential developments that include: 1) a minimum of 30 percent of the units affordable to lower- income households; and 2) densities between 30 du /acre and 50 du /acre consistent with the MU -112 General Plan land use designation and policies for the Airport Area. It is recognized that adding residential as a permitted use where it was not allowed previously might require additional design attention to integrate uses. Therefore, the Planned Community Amendments will add residential uses as permitted by right subject to a site plan review to ensure integration within the existing area. The City will monitor commercial redevelopment within the Airport Area to ensure sufficient residential capacity remains to accommodate the City's RHNA for lower- income households. Should residential capacity be reduced to a level that cannot accommodate the City's remaining need for lower - income households citywide, the City will identify and zone, if necessary, sufficient sites in an alternative location to accommodate the City's RHNA (Imp 25.1) Responsibility: Planning Division, Planning Commission and City Council 2008 -2014 Objective: Staff sball prepare a City initiated Planned Community Amendment for Planning Commission and City Council review by Spring of 2012.

The Department is required to review adopted housing elements and report the findings to the locality pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(h). As you know, the Department's September 8, 2011 review found Newport Beach's revised draft housing element addressed the statutory requirements of housing element law. As the adopted element is substantially the same as the revised draft, we are pleased to find the element in full compliance with State housing element law (Article 10.6 of the Government Code). Successful implementation of Program 3.2.2, to remove the 10 -acre minimum site requirement and Program 3.2.3, to allow by -right development for multifamily housing affordable to lower- income households are critical to facilitate residential development within the John Wayne Airport Area (PC 11 and PC15). The City must monitor and report on the results of these and other programs through the annual progress report, required pursuant to Government Code Section 65400. The Department acknowledges Newport Beach's commitment to encourage the development of a variety of housing types for lower- income households and workers through the implementation of Program 2.1.5 providing regulatory and financial incentives to meet the housing needs of extremely low- income households and Program 3.1.4 to facilitate the development of residential on mixed -use sites. Such strategies facilitate more compact development to address climate change, energy conservation and air quality objectives, maximize existing land resources, and promote the feasibility of developing housing for lower- income families and workers while strengthening the local economy. Mr. David Kiff, City Manager Page 2 The Department is pleased to report Newport Beach now meets specific requirements for several State funding programs designed to reward local governments for compliance with State housing element law. For example, the Housing Related Parks (HRP) Program, Local Housing Trust Fund and the Building Equity and Growth in Neighborhoods (BEGIN) programs include housing element compliance either as a threshold or competitive factor in rating and ranking applications. Details about these and other programs are available at this website at http: / /www.hcd.ca.gov /hpd /hrc /plan /he /loan grant hecomp1011708.pdf. Specifically, the HRP Program, authorized by Proposition 1C, is an innovative new program rewarding local governments for the approval of housing for lower- income households and provides grant funds to eligible local governments for every qualifying housing start, beginning calendar year 2010. Additional information on the HRP Program can be obtained from this website hftp: / /www.hcd.ca.gov /hpd /hrpp /. The Department appreciates the assistance provided by Messrs. Jamie Murillo and Gregg Ramirez throughout the course of the review and looks forward to receiving Newport Beach's adopted housing element. Their dedication to the housing element update process was instrumental in creating a valuable tool to address the community's housing and community development objectives. We wish Newport Beach success in implementing its housing element and look forward to following its progress through the General Plan annual progress reports pursuant to Government Code Section 65400. If the Department can provide assistance in implementing the housing element, please contact Melinda Coy, of our staff, at (916) 445 -5307. Sincerely, Glen A. Campora Assistant Deputy Director Attachment No. PC 4 Zoning Code Section 20.30.060C.3 20.30.060 C.3. (Required Findings for an increase in height) 3. Required Findings. The review authority may adopt a Planned Community District, adopt a specific plan, or approve a planned development permit or site development review to allow an increase in the height of a structure above the base height only after first making all of the following findings in addition to the findings required for the discretionary permit application: a. The project applicant is providing additional project amenities beyond those that are otherwise required. Examples of project amenities include, but are not limited to: i. Additional landscaped open space; ii. Increased setback and open areas; iii. Enhancement and protection of public views; and b. The architectural design of the project provides visual interest through the use of light and shadow, recessed planes, vertical elements, and varied roof planes; c. The increased height will not result in undesirable or abrupt scale changes or relationships being created between the proposed structure(s) and existing adjacent developments or public spaces. Where appropriate, the proposed structure(s) provides a gradual transition to taller or shorter structures on abutting properties; and d. The structure will have no more floor area than could have been achieved without the approval of the height increase. Attachment No. PC 5 PC 5 4/19/12 Planning Commission Staff Report Attachment No. PC 6 I�IVAMArm073" .�Z7 r, TI F -.. On April 19, 2012, a staff report on "Newport Place Affordable Housing Amendment' (PA2011 -215, Melinda Whelan, Assistant Planner) was presented to the Planning Commission, but has not yet been heard due to continuations, and will, I believe, be returning to the Planning Commission on June 7, 2012. If a revised report is being prepared, the Planning Division may wish to consider the following suggestions: * Although perhaps an artifact of the formatting of the redline version, the pagination listed in the "Contents" is not entirely consistent with the typescript. For example, page 3 (handwritten page 19 of the April 19 staff report) indicates "PART 11- COMMERCIAL" should start on page 34. It actually starts on page 35. * The headings for the new 'RESIDENTIAL" text listed on CONTENTS pages 3 and 4 are inconsistent with the actual headings. ** For example: * ** "PART III. RESIDENTIAL" in the contents is actually "PART III. RESIDENTIAL OVERLAY" on page 47. * ** Section V, Subsection B is actually "Floor Area Limit' rather than "Setbacks" and the subsequent sections are similarly mislabeled. * Within in the PC -11 text, references to the changes proposed to be made by amendment 38 are not consistently annotated. ** For example: * ** On page 6 there is a "[38]" annotation after the inserted text. * ** On page 22, there is none. * Since the "STATISTICAL ANALYSIS" starts on page 9 and runs through page 22, the repetition of that title seems unnecessary, but to be consistent with the way the other sections are formatted, the inserted "STATISTICAL ANALYSIS / PART III RESIDENTIAL" should really start on a new page. * Likewise, immediately following that on the present page 22, "PART I. INDUSTRIAL / Section I. Minimum Site Area" would be a lot easier to correlate with the Contents if it started on a new page. As it is, it is extremely difficult to tell where the statistical analysis ends and something else begins. * On the current page 22, the meaning of the " * *" at the end of "PART II COMMERCIAL /SERVICE STATION * *" is unclear. It may have indicated a footnote, but the reference is now uncertain. * On page 23, the meaning of the line reading "* *Reference Page 4, Part I, Item D." is unclear. This might possibly be the footnote from page 22, but whatever it is, there is nothing on the current page 4 that seems relevant. * On page 24, the meaning of the "* & * *" in front of "6." is unclear. Apparently these were once footnotes, as on page 36, but the notes seem to have been deleted. * On pages 33 -34, under "H. Loading Areas," the "1." at the start of the condition has been inadvertently moved from the start of the sentence to a position in mid - sentence at the top of page 34. * On page 34 under "J. Refuse Collection Areas" there are two items numbered "1." * On page 36, the use of the "* & * *" notation to indicate notes is inconsistent with the way they are indicated elsewhere (for example, by superscript numbers on pages 18 and 20 -- although the " *" and " * *" notation is used on pages 9 and 39). * The sign standards specified on pages 41 -42 of the PC text have been superseded in some areas (for example in the Ridgeway project area on MacArthur) by Comprehensive Sign Programs, and perhaps this possibility should be acknowledged in the PC text. * On page 47: ** The reference in Section I to "the following Section II. A." is unclear. There is no such section. It is probably meant to read "Section IV. A. "? ** It is unclear what "area" is to be used in setting the "area median income." Is it Orange County, Newport Beach, the Airport Area of Newport Beach or some other area? * On page 48, the nature of the "30 -year affordability covenant" may need further definition. ** What does "affordable" to persons of a certain income range mean? ** Does the level of "affordability" change if a property is sold? ** Does a sale require extension the 30 -year term, or is a fixed ending time set at the time of development? '* After the covenant expires: * *' Can rents be raised above the initial levels of affordability? * ** Can the existing affordable housing be redeveloped into a more upscale configuration? If so, the expiration of the 30 -year covenant would seem to circumvent the basic intent of the PC text to permit ONLY development with 30% affordable housing in this area. But if a minimum 30% affordable housing component is forever required, the covenant seems redundant. * On page 49: ** The meaning of the "(6)" after "3. Footprint Lots (6)" is unclear. ** In the body of that condition, the reference to "Part III. Section III.B. 1, 2 and 3" is unclear. There does not seem to be such section in the PC Text. It might be a reference to Part I (INDUSTRIAL) setbacks on page 29, although those don't seem very different from the immediately preceding requirements in Part III. Section V.B. 1 and 2. On page 58 the note that references to "Director of Parks, Beaches, and Recreation" have been changed to "Director of Municipal Operations Department' is curious on two fronts: (1) There do not seem to have been any references to the "Director of Parks, Beaches, and Recreation" in the previous PC text, and (2) the Municipal Operations Department was created by merging the General Services Department and Utilities Division. Parks, Beaches, and Recreation has long been a citizens advisory commission, but has not been a named department in recent memory. -- Jim 06/05/12 15:44 FAX 9498620515 HEYER PROPERTIES lao01 Correspondence Item No. 4a MEYER PROPERTIESA,-rport Area PC Amendment PA2011 -215 4320 VON KARMAN • NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA 92660 ( 949) 862 -0500 • FAX (949) 862 -0515 June 5, 2012 Via Facsimile: (949)644 -3229 Planning Commission City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Blvd. Newport Beach, CA 92663 Re: Newport Place Affordable Housing Amendment Dear Planning Commissioners: GG -VED 8Y JUN 0 5 2012 DEVELOPMtiNT C)� m OP NEWPORC, On behalf of Meyer properties I wish to again express our serious concern regarding your proposed Amendment to the Newport Place Planned Community Plan. More §pecifically, we are concerned that this amendment will significantly alter the nature of land use in Newport Place in a negative way. As owners of a variety of differing types of commercial properties for more than thirty years, we have seen what happens when incompatible uses are encouraged by various changes to zoning, especially changes that were not contemplated when an area was initially planned and developed in response to compatible land use and zoning requirements. In this instance); we anticipate that high density residential development will over burden existing infrastructure. Police and fire protection services will face increasing stress as will the local arterial system. Moreover, from a purely Urban Planning 101 perspective we feel the proposed amendment fails to address necessary elements that are a key to providing a foundation necessary for successful residential development. The amendment would not satisfy such basic planning fundamentals as compatibility with neighboring development, conflicts between land uses, proximity to public services and adverse environmental influences. Any residential development in this area would be an island surrounded by incompatible commercial and industrial uses, it would suffer the noise and air pollution generated by the John Wayne/Orange County Airport, it would lack proximity and ease of access to schools, libraries, public parks and even such fundamental necessities as grocery stores. Succinctly, the ingredients necessary for a successful residential development do not exist at Newport.

On behalf of OCRC, this correspondence shall serve as our opposition and objection to the Proposed Airport Area PC Amendment — Newport Place Planned Community Amendment No. PD 2011 -005, which is scheduled to be voted on during the Planning Commissions, June 7, 2012, regular meeting. Our first reaction to the amendment is that it does not address the necessary elements that are relevant to providing a foundation for a successful residential development. The proposed amendment would not resolve basic planning issues such as compatibility with neighboring development, conflicts between land uses, proximity to public services and adverse environmental influences. For example, it seems obvious that a residential development in this area would be isolated and surrounded by commercial and industrial use property that is incompatible with a residential development. Likewise, there is a lack of basic necessities including schools, libraries, public parks and even grocery stores. Finally, as owners of commercial and residential properties for many decades, it is easy to foresee that the proposed Newport Place Planned Community Amendment and Koll Center Amendment would over burden the existing infrastructure. High density residential housing projects, like Newport Place and Koll Center in the airport area, will without a doubt cause parking and traffic issues for current owners. Even worse, is that the proposed residential housing project at Koll Center, for example, will tower over Seven Corporate Plaza Newport Beach, CA 92660 (949) 644 -OLEN Fax (949) 719 -7200 www.olenproperties.com Ms. Melinda Whelan Assistant Planner June 5, 2012 Page - 2 - current buildings, obliterate tenant views, impair the property values, and will affect the current and future commercial use of those properties. In this case, the Planning Commission is being asked to approve changes that were not contemplated when the Airport Area was initially planned and developed. High density residential housing is simply an incompatible use to this area. As a result, we must ask the planning commission to vote against this inappropriate amendment.

PC Amendment. The proposed amendment injects potential high density residential development on individual lots into a cohesive office and business park. High density residential development is not compatible with the existing office and business park environment. High, density residential development would dwarf a majority of the existing low -rise office development. The high density residential developments proposed for Newport Place, along with Koll Center, will cause parking and traffic issues for current owners and impair property values. We request that the Planning Commission vote against this amendment that is not compatible with existing uses. Sincerely, JOHN S. ADAMS & ASSOCIATES, INC. P' John S. Adams 2 L 4; '=M PI) !.F S .

The PRES Companies ( "PRES "), an owner in Kell Center Newport, has serious misgivings regarding the Amendment, and requests that Planning Staff vehemently oppose such Amendment. PRES believes that Amendment is inappropriate and fails to address adequately the impact of such development to the area. 'There is a danger when incompatible uses are encouraged by various changes to zoning, particularly changes that were never contemplated in the original planning and development. It is not a stretch to conclude that high density residential will over burden the existing infrastructure, including both police and fire, along with stress on the existing arterial system. Quite frankly, the Amendment fails to address fundamental elements that are vital to successful residential development, such as compatibility with neighboring developments, conflicts between land uses, proximity to public services and adverse environmental conditions. In summary, the Amendment suffers the most basic fundamentals of a successful residential development... it is surrounded by incompatible commercial and industrial uses, affected by the noise and air pollution generated by John Waync/Orange County Airport, lacks proximity and ease of access to schools, libraries and public parks, and such a fundamental necessity as a grocery store. The ingredients of a successful residential development are just simply lacking at Newport Place. 'thank you for your consideration. Very Truly Yours, THE P S CO ANIES BY: YADLSY W.

We are concerned that this Amendment will haven very negative impact on the nature of land use in Newport Place. Our team and I have many years of practice and education working in commercial real estate. We know the challenges of redevelopment, particularly for projects in areas that historically, were not zoned for alternate uses such as housing. In this case, we are confident that current infrastructure and amenities will not support the high density residential development being considered here. Many challenges will need to be addressed including problems with: police and fire protection services, arterial systems, utilities, environmental systems, conflicts in land uses, proximity to public services, and compatibility with neighboring development. Additionally, residents in a new development here would suffer from a lack of amenities, surrounded by commercial and industrial uses. Residents would lack access to schools, libraries, public parka, grocery stores, restaurants, and entertainment. They would also have to put up with the noise and air pollution from John Waync Airport. We hope that you will heavily consider these costs as you make your decision.

Saunders Property Company ( "SPC "), an owner in Koll Center Newport (KCN), believes this Amendment has not been given sufficient review and insufficient opportunity for input by KCN owners and as such, requests that Planning Staff postpone the vote or oppose the Amendment in its current form until such time as the KCN owners have had sufficient time and opportunity to opine. SPC does not oppose residential uses in the airport area but believes the type of residential developments and their related locations and densities need to be scaled appropriately for the surroundings_ Furthermore, surrounding owners need to be made a part of the planning stage to provide their input as they have a vested interest in maintaining the value of their investments. In the case of the Amendment, it appears Koll has been proceeding rapidly down the development path without including any of the KCN owners. This should be rectified before there is a vote or if the current vote is inevitable than we would hope the Amendment is opposed in its current form until more input is received by KCN owners.

More specifically, we are concerned that this amendment will significantly alter the nature of land use in Newport Place in a negative way. As owners of a variety of differing types of commercial properties for more than thirty years, we have seen what happens when incompatible uses are encouraged by various changes to zoning, especially changes that were not contemplated when an area was initially planned and developed in response to compatible land use and zoning requirements. In this instance, we anticipate that high density residential development will over burden existing infrastructure. Police and fire protection services will face increasing stress as will the local arterial system, Moreover, from a purely Urban Planning 101 perspective we feel the proposed amendment fails to address necessary elements that are a key to providing a foundation necessary for successful residential development. The amendment would not satisfy such basic planning filndamentals as compatibility with neighboring development, conflicts between land uses, proximity to public services and adverse environmental influonces. Any residential development in this area would be an island surrounded by incompatible commercial and industrial uses, it would suffer the noise and air pollution generated by the John Wayne/Orange County Airport, it would Jack proximity and ease of access to schools, libraries, public parks and even such fundamental necessities as grocery stores. Succinctly, the ingredients necessary for a successful residential development do not exist at Newport Plane. Accordingly, we must ask the planning staff to vote against any such inappropriate amendment. Bryan Bentrott Member 4200 Von Karman, LLC LAW OFFICES OF STEVEN C.

The proposed PC Amendment implementing Housing Programs 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 to permit residential development for lower income households within Newport Place should not be recommended by the Planning Commission for adoption by the City Council. The addition of residential uses in Newport Place does not make sense from a planning standpoint because it would create an island of residences in a sea of office and industrial uses. The General Plan Policy of requiring residential neighborhoods in the Airport Area to have a minimum of 10 contiguous acres centered on a neighborhood park and other amenities should not be changed. Allowing up to 50 dwelling units per acre will require residential structures that will potentially house hundreds of families. Where are the schools, the day care centers, libraries, parks, medical services and other facilities that will be needed by those families? Where will the kids play? Skateboarding on MacArthur Boulevard or Bristol North sounds like an accident waiting to happen. It is bound to happen when there are no ball fields, basketball courts or nearby parks of any sort. Where is the nearest grocery store? A Coco's and some fast food places at opposite ends of the planning area will not meet the needs of the many residents that would live in Newport Beach Planning Commission June 7, 2012 Page 2 of 2 Newport Place if a development is built under Housing Programs 3.2.2 and 3.2.3. From a planning standpoint, how far should a resident of a new development have to drive to buy groceries? Allowing residences to be plunked down in the expanse of the commercial /industrial airport area looks like a return to the days of "spot zoning" with all of its attendant problems. There certainly must be far superior alternative locations in Newport Beach for meeting the City's obligation to provide units affordable to lower income households. The Planning Commission should not allow State mandates, the withdrawal of State funding programs, or other fiscal pressures to drive the planning process into bad decisions. Supporting Newport Place Planned Community Amendment No. PD2011- 005, permitting residential development in Newport Place, would be such a decision. Kindest Regards, Steve C.

Formed in 2001, the Commission has been successful in partnering and working with jurisdictions in Orange County to create strategic and effective housing and land -use policies that has led to new construction of homes affordable to lower income working families. With a significant lack of quality affordable homes, it is evident that Orange County is a very expensive place to live in. While the economic downturn has allowed home prices to be at an all time low, many lower income working families are still not able to purchase a home and remain as renters; however, many of these renting families continually struggle financially to live in the city they work in. Over the past year, Orange County had the biggest rental increase in Southern California (13 %) and compared to other cities in Orange County,' housing costs are significant higher in Newport Beach.2 As the City moves forward in the addressing housing needs for all income segments of the community, the Commission would like to acknowledge and commend the City's leadership in facilitating and encouraging the development of homes affordable to lower income families in the proposed Newport Place development. The Commission believes the City is moving in the right direction in implementing: 1) the City's 2008 -2012 Housing Element Housing Programs 3.2.2. and 3.2.3 in Newport Place. For the 2008 -2014 Housing Element planning period, the City's total Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), including the un- accommodated portion of the 2000 -2005 RHNA, for lower income households are: 451 homes at very low - income, 319 homes at low - income and; 442 homes at moderate- income. 3 To address the remaining RI INA needs, the City identified the John Wayne Airport Area and Banning Ranch as opportunity sites suitable for residential development. In particular, the Airport Area was identified as the "greatest potential" to accommodate the City's lower income RHNA ' Rising Renls May Signal a Housing Market Recovery.

Chair Torre and Planning Commission Members Page 2 of 2 .tune 7, 2012 need of 770 homes.4 Providing an amendment to Newport Place would permit residential development that includes a minimum of 30 percent of homes affordable to lower income families.' Also, the removal of the 10 -acre minimum site requirement and allowing by -right development for multifamily housing affordable to lower- income households is essential in encouraging and facilitating the development of affordable homes in the Airport Area. In December 2011, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) found the City's 2008 -2014 Housing Element in full compliance that was contingent upon the following: Successful implementation of Program 3.2.2, to remove the 10- acre minimum site requirement and Program 3.2.3, to allow by- right development for multifamily housing affordable to lower - income households are critical to facilitate residential development within the John Wayne Airport Area (PC I I and PC 15).`' The Commission supports the City's efforts in planning the development of homes affordable to lower income working families. The proposed zoning amendment in Newport Place will not only provide quality and affordable homes for the City's work force, but it will also build and contribute to a more economically competitive and opportunity rich community. Please keep us informed of any upcoming meetings and additional information on the proposed Newport Place development.
