Balboa Marina West is a proposed plan to construct a new public boat dock in the Newport Harbor, improve and expand the existing Balboa Marina, and construct a 19,400 square feet marine commercial building for a yacht brokerage office, public restrooms, and a restaurant. DISCUSSION Typically, the environmental document is reviewed and adopted at the same public hearing as the project. However, the review of the Balboa Marina West project will be somewhat unusual, as the Planning Commission will be requested to review and adopt the MND before reviewing the application for the land-side component of the project. The reason for this is that while the water-side (public dock and marina expansion) portion of the project is ready, plans for the land-side (the marine commercial building) have not been finalized by the Irvine Company. This will allow the processing of the water-side portion of the project by Harbor Resources while plans for the land-side portion are completed. Details on the application process are provide below. Balboa Marina West The Balboa Marina West Project is a joint project between the City and the Irvine Company. The proposal is to construct a new public boat dock in Lower Newport Bay and improve and expand the existing Balboa Marina. The new public dock would include a gangway and 12 public boat slips including eight new slips and four slips that would be relocated to the public dock from the existing private Balboa Marina. In the private Balboa Marina, 24 private boat slips and a new gangway are proposed. In the land-side area of the marina, the Project proposes to demolish the existing Balboa Marina parking lot and a 1,200 square feet building located at 201 East Coast Highway. In their place, a reconfigured parking lot and 19,400 square feet marine commercial building is proposed to house a yacht brokerage office, public restrooms, and a restaurant (see Attachment No. PC 2). 1 INTENTIONALLY BLANK PAGE Balboa Marina West MND September 4, 2014 Page 2 Mitigated Negative Declaration On the basis of the Initial Study, City staff has concluded that the Balboa Marina West Project would not have a significant unavoidable impact on the environment and has therefore recommended preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). An MND is a document prepared under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It describes a proposed project, presents the findings, and states the reasons why the decision maker has concluded that there will be no significant effect with the proposed mitigation measures. The 30-day public review period for the MND began on August 18, 2014, and will end on September 17, 2014. Notice of Intent (NO]) to adopt the MND was distributed to the 1) organizations and individuals who have previously requested such notice in writing to the City; 2) direct mailing to the owners of property within a 300-foot radius of the project site; 3) responsible and trustee agencies (public agencies that have a level of discretionary approval over some component of the proposed project); 4) the County of Orange Clerk; and 5) the California Office of Planning and Research, State Clearinghouse, for review by State agencies. Following the 30-day public review period, the City of Newport Beach will review any comment letters received and determine whether any substantive comments were provided that may warrant revisions to the MND document. If substantial revisions are not necessary then the MND will be finalized and forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and adoption. The MND analysis found eight environmental factors that are "less than significant with mitigation measures incorporated." These environmental factors are Aesthetics, Biological Resources, Land Use and Planning, Cultural Resources, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology/Water Quality, Noise, and Mandatory Findings of Significance. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) summarizes all of the proposed mitigation measures needed to ensure that effects to the environment are reduced to less-than-significant levels. The Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was distributed the Planning Commission on August 15, 2014. It can be viewed and downloaded at http://www.newportbeachca.ciov/cegadocuments. Application Process The water-side components will be reviewed by the Harbor Commission and the MND and the land-side components will be reviewed by the Planning Commission. The Harbor Commission reviewed the project at a study session on August 13, 2014, The Harbor Resources Manager will use the feedback provided by the Harbor 3 Balboa Marina West MND September 4, 2014 Page 3 Commission in the issuance of an Approval in Concept (AIC) for the water-side components. The Planning Commission will review the MND for compliance with CEQA at a public hearing tentatively scheduled for October 2, 2014. Should the Planning Commission approve the MND, the Irvine Company will file an application for the land-side component. It is anticipated that this will include a Site Development Review for the marine commercial building and reconfigured parking lot and a Conditional Use Permit for the restaurant. Following completion of the Harbor Commission and Planning Commission reviews, the City will issue an AIC, and a joint City/Irvine Company application will be filed with the California Coastal Commission requesting issuance of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP). The CDP application will include both the water-side and land-side Project components. Public Notice The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the Planning Commission considers the item). Additionally, a courtesy notice was sent to adjacent homeowners associations. Prepared and Submitted by: L-1 Patrick J.
