LEASE AGREEMENT
BEACON BAY COMMON AREAS
(Beacon Bay Community Association)
THIS LEASE is made and entered into as of the day of February, 2005, by and
between the CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, a chartered municipal corporation ( "City ") or
( "Lessor "), and BEACON BAY COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, a California nonprofit
corporation ( "Lessee ").
RECITALS
A. The City of Newport Beach, by virtue of a 1978 legislative grant found in Chapter
74 of the Statutes of 1978 (the 'Beacon Bay Bill "), holds the right, title and
interest to certain filled and unfilled tide and submerged lands in trust. The City
also holds title to certain an4- uplands obtained in its municipal capacity in 1929.
These areas are collectively and commonly known as Beacon Bay and described
in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference ('Beacon
Bay").
B. The Beacon Bay Bill exempts the "Westerly Portion" of the filled tidelands from
the public trust and specifically authorizes the lease of the property for residential
purposes subject to certain statutory conditions.
C. Portions of Beacon Bay, including portions of the "Westerly Portion" thereof, has
been divided into individual residential lots. Within Beacon Bay are also certain
streets, walkways, beaches, common landscaped areas and tennis courts,
identified as Lots A through J and Lot 62 described in Exhibit B attached hereto
and incorporated by reference and as shown on the Exhibit C, attached hereto
and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Common Area ").
D. On January 9, 1950, Lessor first entered into a master lease of Beacon Bay,
including the Common Area, to an individual who thereafter subleased individual
lots to individual homeowners. This original lease expired on December 31,
1987. On January 1, 1988, City leased the individual lots in Beacon Bay to
individual homeowners and leased the Common Area to Lessee, a community
association comprised of the foregoing individual homeowners within Beacon
Bay (the "Existing Common Area Lease'). The leases of individual lots to
individual homeowners were amended, restated and extended on various dates,
each to expire on July 1, 2044 (the 'Residential Leases "). The Existing Common
Area Lease will expire on July 1, 2006.
E. On November 3, 1987, a majority of electors of the City approved a measure that
authorized the City Council to enter into new leases of the residential lots in
Beacon Bay for not to exceed fifty (50) years.
F. On November 3, 1992, a majority of electors of the City approved Measure M
that authorized the City Council to lease tidelands and waterfront property
consistent with the provisions of state law.
G. In 1994 Lessor determined that maintaining the residential character of Beacon
Bay was in the best interests of the citizens of Newport Beach and State of
California, and agreed to a lease for the residential lots until July 1, 2044. As
1
with the 1988 leases the form of those leases and range of consideration were
approved by the California State Lands Commission pursuant to Chapter 74
Statutes of 1978.
H. Lessor has further determined it is in the best interests and welfare of the citizens
of Newport Beach and State of California:
1. that the Common Area portions of Beacon Bay which have been leased
for common area purposes appurtenant to the Beacon Bay residential
community continue in that character;
2. to lease the Common Area to Lessee under the terms, conditions and for
the consideration as hereinafter set forth; and
3. for Lessee to continue to use the same high standards of care and
maintenance of the Common Area that Lessee used on the Effective Date
of this Lease to serve the Beacon Bay residents and visitors.
I. The State Lands Commission has reviewed and approved the form of this Lease
and range of consideration for compliance with the provisions of relevant
statutes, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Beacon Bay Bill.
J. Lessor has determined that this Lease is consistent with provisions of the
Beacon Bay Bill, the Charter, General Plan and Zoning Ordinance of the City of
Newport Beach, and all other applicable state and local laws.
K. The Parties intend, through this Lease, to confirm Lessor's right to use any
properties held in trust by the Lessor (including tidelands) for projects that are
intended to enhance the water quality or ecosystem of Newport Bay,
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are hereby

replacement, maintenance or improvement on the Premises. In the event
any lien or stop notices imposed or recorded on the Premises as a result
of the construction, repair or alteration of the facility by or on behalf of
Lessee, Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all such liens, claims or
demands before any action is brought to enforce the same against the

intended purpose or use of the Common Area or any construction or
improvement thereon. Lessee shall conduct all tests necessary to determine the
suitability of the Common Area for any proposed construction or improvement
thereon, including, without limitation, the amount and extent of any fill, and
related factors. Lessee expressly acknowledges that Lessor shall not be liable for
any damage or loss resulting from any subsurface or soil condition in, on, or
under the Common Area or adjacent property. Lessee expressly acknowledges
that, while the legislature of the State of California has purportedly removed the
public trust restrictions on use of the "Westerly Portion" of property pursuant to
the Beacon Bay Bill, the Common Area may constitute filled tide and submerged
lands, and Lessor has made no representation or warranty relative to the validity
of the Beacon Bay Bill or the power of the legislature of the State of California to
remove public trust restrictions on tidelands through legislation. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of any challenge to the right and power of Lessor to
lease the Common Area for the purposes provided in this Lease, Lessor agrees,
at its sole cost and expense, to use all reasonable efforts to resist and defend
against such challenge and to seek a ruling or judgment affirming and upholding
the right and power of Lessor to lease the Common Area for the purposes
provided in this Lease.
13. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES.
Lessee shall not grant any concession, license, permit or privilege for the
conduct of any business or other operation for profit within the Common Area
without the prior written approval of the City Manager.

to bind coverage on its behalf and must be filed with Lessor, prior to
execution of this Lease. Current certification of coverage shall be provided
throughout the term of this Lease. Except for workers compensation, all
insurance policies shall include Lessor and its elected officials, officers,
agents, representatives and employees as additional insureds.
IN
B. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently
authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of
insurance in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders'

employees of Lessee, per the laws of the State of California.

party liability risks, including without limitation, contractual liability, in a
minimum amount of $1 million combined single limit per occurrence for
bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If commercial general
liability insurance or other form with a general aggregate is used, either
the general aggregate shall apply separately to this Lease, or the general
aggregate limit shall be twice the occurrence limit. Lessor reserves the
right to reasonably increase the minimum coverage specified in this
subsection once every five years should the City Manager of Lessor
determine that then current coverages do not fully protect Lessor.
E. Lessee shall provide Fire and extended coverage for not less than ninety
percent (90 %) of the cost of replacement of all insurable improvements in
the Common Area.
F. Except for worker's compensation, the policy or policies shall be endorsed
to state that coverage shall not be canceled by either party, except after
thirty (30) days' prior notice has been given in writing to Lessor. Lessee
shall give Lessor prompt and timely notice of claim made or suit instituted
arising out of Lessee's operation hereunder. Lessee shall also procure
and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of
insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper
protection and prosecution of the work.
G. Lessee agrees that, in the event of loss due to any of the perils for which it
has agreed to provide comprehensive general liability insurance, Lessee
shall look solely to its insurance for recovery. Lessee hereby grants to
Lessor, on behalf of any insurer providing comprehensive general and
automotive liability insurance to either Lessee or Lessor with respect to
the services of Lessee herein, a waiver of any right of subrogation which
any such insurer of said Lessee may acquire against Lessor by virtue of
the payment of any loss under such insurance.

A. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Lessor, its City
Council, boards and commissions, officers and employees from and
against any and all loss, damages, liability, claims, allegations of liability,
suits, costs and expenses for damages of any nature whatsoever,
including, but not limited to, bodily injury, death, personal injury, property

liability, claims, allegations of liability, suits, costs and expenses for
damages of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, bodily

completed with due diligence, but not longer than one (1) year after such work is
commenced unless delay is caused by events beyond the control of Lessee. If

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 3
(February 8, 2005)
HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Robin Clauson, City Attorney
rclauson@city.newport-beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: Lease Agreement for Management of Beacon Bay Common Areas with
Beacon Bay Community Association
ISSUE:
Should the City Council approve a new Lease Agreement with the Beacon Bay Community
Association to allow the Community Association to continue management and maintenance of
the common areas within the Beacon Bay Community?
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the attached Lease Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
Beacon Bay is a residential community authorized to be located on City tidelands pursuant to
Legislation enacted in 1978, known as the Beacon Bay Bill. In 1994 the City Council approved
a 50 year lease for the residential lots that will expire on July 1, 2044. The Beacon Bay
Community Association has maintained the common areas under leases with the City since
1950. The current common area lease dated January 1, 1988 will expire on July 1, 2006.
The Beacon Bay Community Association has requested a new lease to manage the common
areas that will run concurrently with the residential leases. The attached Lease Agreement will
expire on July 1, 2044, and will provide for the Community Association to continue the care and
maintenance of the common areas with the same high degree of care used in the past. The
beaches and street access to the beaches will be required to be maintained accessible to the
public at all times.
If the Community Association did not maintain the common areas, the responsibility would fall to
the City to maintain the streets, beaches, beach access and landscaping in the common areas.
These costs of maintenance and the rents paid on the residential leases have been determined
to provide sufficient consideration for the lease.
Environmental Review: None

LEASE AGREEMENT
BEACON BAY COMMON AREAS
(Beacon Bay Community Association)
THIS LEASE made and entered into as of the _ day of February, 2005, by and
between the CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, a chartered municipal corporation ( "City ") or
( "Lessor"), and BEACON BAY COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, a California nonprofit
corporation ( "Lessee ").
RECITALS
A. The City of Newport Beach, by virtue of a 1978 legislative grant found in Chapter
74 of the Statutes of 1978 (the "Beacon Bay Bill'), holds the right, title and
interest to certain tidelands and uplands commonly known as Beacon Bay and
described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference
( "Beacon Bay').
B. The Beacon Bay Bill exempts the "Westerly Portion" of the filled tidelands from
the public trust and specifically authorizes the lease of the property for residential
purposes subject to certain statutory conditions.
C. Beacon Bay, including the "Westerly Portion" thereof, has been divided into
individual residential lots. Within Beacon Bay are certain streets, walkways,
beaches, common landscaped areas and tennis courts, identified as Lots A
through J and Lot 62 described in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated by
reference and as shown on the Exhibit C, attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference (the "Common Area ").
D. On January 9, 1950, Lessor first entered into a master lease of Beacon Bay,
including the Common Area, to an individual who thereafter subleased individual
lots to individual homeowners. This original lease expired on December 31,
1987. On January 1, 1988, City leased the individual lots in Beacon Bay to
individual homeowners and leased the Common Area to Lessee, a community
association comprised of the foregoing individual homeowners within Beacon
Bay (the "Existing Common Area Lease "). The leases of individual lots to
individual homeowners were amended, restated and extended on various dates,
each to expire on July 1, 2044 (the "Residential Leases "). The Existing Common
Area Lease will expire on July 1, 2006.
E. On November 3, 1987, a majority of electors of the City approved a measure that
authorized the City Council to enter into new leases of the residential lots in
Beacon Bay for not to exceed fifty (50) years.
F. On November 3, 1992, a majority of electors of the City approved Measure M
that authorized the City Council to lease tidelands and waterfront property
consistent with the provisions of state law.
G. In 1994 Lessor determined that maintaining the residential character of Beacon
Bay was in the best interests of the citizens of Newport Beach, and agreed to a
lease for the residential lots until July 1, 2044.
H. Lessor has further determined it is in the best interests and welfare of the citizens
of Newport Beach:
1
1. that the Common Area portions of Beacon Bay which have been leased
for common area purposes appurtenant to the Beacon Bay residential
community continue in that character;
2. to lease the Common Area to Lessee under the terms, conditions and for
the consideration as hereinafter set forth; and
3. for Lessee to continue to use the same high standards of care and
maintenance of the Common Area that Lessee used on the Effective Date
of this Lease to serve the Beacon Bay residents and visitors.
I. The State Lands Commission has reviewed the form of this Lease for compliance
with the provisions of relevant statutes, rules and regulations, including, without
limitation, the Beacon Bay Bill.
J. Lessor has determined that this Lease is consistent with provisions of the
Beacon Bay Bill, the Charter, General Plan and Zoning Ordinance of the City of
Newport Beach, and all other applicable state and local laws.
K. The Parties intend, through this Lease, to confirm Lessor's right to use any
properties held in trust by the Lessor (including tidelands) for projects that are
intended to enhance the water quality or ecosystem of Newport Bay.

incorporated into and made part of the terms and conditions of this Lease, and the
covenants in this lease, the Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:

standard of care and maintenance that Lessee used as of the Execution

right to reasonably increase the minimum coverage specified in this
subsection once every five years should the City Manager of Lessor
determine that then current coverages do not fully protect Lessor.

has agreed to provide comprehensive general liability insurance, Lessee
shall look solely to its insurance for recovery. Lessee hereby grants to
Lessor, on behalf of any insurer providing comprehensive general and
automotive liability insurance to either Lessee or Lessor with respect to
the services of Lessee herein, a waiver of any right of subrogation which

the payment of any loss under such insurance.

one hundred and eighty (180) days after the damage or loss occurs and shall be
completed with due diligence, but not longer than one (1) year after such work is
commenced unless delay is caused by events beyond the control of Lessee. If
Lessee elects not to repair or rebuild the improvements, it may terminate this
Lease by giving Lessor written notice of termination and by assigning all
