ISSUE Should the City Council accept the status report on Development Agreement No. 7, adopt a Negative Declaration and approve an amendment to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 7 to allow the construction of six (6) family mausolea and estate gardens in lieu of a 7,200 square -foot community mausoleum in Building Site "H" of Area 8 at the Pacific View Memorial Park? RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing, accept the status report of Development Agreement No. 7, and approve the request by adopting Resolution No. 2007- _ for Use Permit No. 2006 -040 and Negative Declaration No. 2007 -001 and introducing Ordinance No. 2007 - for Development Agreement No. 2006 -001, and passing the ordinance to a second reading for adoption on September 25, 2007. INTRODUCTION Proiect Description The project consists of six (6) family mausolea in Building Site "H" of Area 8, for a total of 2,024 square feet in lieu of a single 7,200 square foot (60'x120') community mausoleum. Two (2) of the six (6) family mausoleum building envelopes (4.5 and H.6) would be at 15 feet in height, 22 feet in width, and 12 feet in depth. The four (4) remaining building envelopes (H.1, H.2, H.3 & HA) would be at 17 feet in height, 22 feet in width, and 17 feet in depth. The development of ground burial terraced estate gardens within Building Site "H" is also proposed. Pacific View Memorial Park September 11, 2007 Page 2 Planning Commission Action On August 9, 2007, the Planning Commission voted (5 ayes, one absent and one abstain) to recommend approval of the proposed project to the City Council. The approval resolution, staff report and minutes are attached as Attachments C through E. DISCUSSION Analysis Development Agreement Status Review Pursuant to Chapter 15.45 of the Municipal Code, Section 65865.1 of the California Government Code, and Section 6 of the Development Agreement, an annual review is to be conducted by the City Council in order for Pacific View to demonstrate good faith substantial compliance with the terms of the Development Agreement. The City Council conducted annual reviews for the years of 1996, 97, 98, and 99. On March 27, 2007, Pacific View submitted a status report (Attachment F), which includes the review of Use Permit conditions, the environmental mitigation measures, and the public benefit conditions. To date, Pacific View has made the following improvements: Total Built to Allowed Remaining Date Administration Building 30,000 s.f. 10,317 s.f. 19,683 s.f. Community Mausoleum 121,680 s.f. 91,174 s.f. 30,506 s.f. Garden Crypts & Family Mausoleum 12,000 s.f. 11,412 s.f. 588 s.f. After reviewing the submitted report, staff found that Pack View has complied in good faith with conditions of the agreement. Use Permit The Use Permit application does not include the introduction of new uses inconsistent with the land use designation of the site. The request should not prove detrimental to the adjacent residential properties given the smaller building mass and size of the proposed six (6) family mausolea, the placement of these structures which is considerably below the existing established grade of the adjacent residents, the proposed setbacks of these structures, and the additional landscaping to screen these structures from the ground floor views of the nearby residential properties. The visual simulations indicate the proposed family mausolea would not be visible to the residents residing along the cemetery's northeast and southeast properties. These viewing Pacific View Memorial Park September 11, 2007 Page 3 i stations for the simulations are at two (2) different locations: at the subject property lines adjacent to the residential properties of 5 Monterey Circle (Attachment G) and at 1 Little River Circle (Attachment H). In addition to the visuali simulations, pictures were taken from the residences of 1, 2, 3,& 4 Twin Lakes Circle and 1,! 3, 7, 9 & 11 Monterey Circle looking straight to Building "H ", Area 8 of the Pacific View (Attachm'ent I). Given the distance from the nearby residences and with proposed landscape screening, the view to the proposed family mausolea and the estate gardens does not represent a negative impact. The estate gardens would be adequately screened from the nearby residents by virtue of being constructed into the slope supported by retaining walls with no monuments, fences, gates or other elements exceeding the top height of the estate garden walls. Required findings for approval of the Use Permit must be made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 20.91 of the Municipal Code. All development regulations of the GEIF Zoning District and conditions of approval of the Use Permit would be met. Development Agreement Amendment On July 10, 1995, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 95-26 approving Development Agreement No. 7 (Attachment J) to establish maximum permitted development allocation for Pacific View of 30,000 square feet of administrative offices and support facilities, 121,680 - square feet of community mausolea and 12,000 - square feet of garden crypts including family mausolea. The Development Agreement contains comprehensive provisions setting forth the timing for development phasing, construction scheduling, the, height and design of structures, landscaping, and the maintenance of a buffer landscape area it perpetuity between the Park and the nearby residents. The term of the Development Agreement is for a period of twenty (20) years with an automatic 10 -year extension if, at the expiration of the initial 20 -year term, Pacific View has not completed all of the development authorized in the Development Agreement. Pacific View is in the 121h year of the 20 -year term. The existing Development Agreement requires that Area 8 be developed with flat marker ground burial and be maintained in a manner consistent with the existing "park like" development. Building Site "H" is to be developed with a 7,200 square -foot community mausoleum. If approved, the overall square footage allowance for community mausolea will be reduced from 121,680 to 114,480 square feet. There would be no increase to the family mausoleum allotment as the applicant is proposing to extract the square footage from the approved family mausoleum development limit of;12,000 square feet. Attached, for City Council consideration, is I the proposed First Amendment to the Development Agreement (Attachment K), which includes proposed changes to the applicable sections, the terms of the Agreement, and added language for the proposed landscaping. This document has been reviewed by the City ;Attorney's Office for code compliance and accuracy. i Pacific View Memorial Park September 11, 2007 Page 4 Environmental Review An Initial Study /Negative Declaration (ND) has been prepared by Dudek Associates for the project as originally submitted by the applicant in compliance with the implementing guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The document is attached as Attachment L and identifies ten (10) issue areas with "less than significant impact" determinations. Those issues are: Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology & Water Quality, Noise, Transportation/Traffic, and Utilities and Services Systems. No significant impacts are identified based upon a comparison of the proposed I roject with the established thresholds of signifcance. As result, no new mitigation measures have been identified. Those mitigation measures from the 1995 adopted Initial Study /Negative Declaration (Attachment M), which are applicable to this project, are referenced in the ND as part of the environmental analysis. The ND was circulated for a 20-day public review, between April 6 and April 26, 2007. Staff received comments from the nearby residents but none were environment impact - related. The residents' concerns have been discussed under; the Concerns of Residents Section of the August 9, 2007 Planning Commission Staff Report: Public Notice Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily, Pilot, mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the property and posted at the site a minimum of 10 days in advance of this hearing consistent with the Municipal Code. Additionally, the item appeared upon the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the city website. Prepared by: Submitted by: C.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ADOPTING NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 2007 -001 AND APPROVING USE PERMIT NO. 2006 -040 TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIX (6) FAMILY MAUSOLEA AND ESTATE GARDENS WITHIN BUILDING SITE "H", AREA 8 OF THE PACIFIC VIEW MEMORIAL PARK LOCATED AT 3500 PACIFIC VIEW DRIVE (PA2006 -282) WHEREAS, an application was filed by Pacific View Memorial Park with respect to property located at 3500 Pacific View Drive, and legally described as Portions of Blocks 96 & 97 of Irvine's Subdivision as shown in Book 1, Page 88 of Miscellaneous Maps, requesting approval of amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 by Use Permit No. 2006 -040 and to Development Agreement No. 7 by Development Agreement No. 2006- 001 (the "First Amendment ") to allow Pacific View Memorial Park to develop six (6) family mausolea comprised of 2,024 square -feet and ground burial estate gardens within Building Site "H ", Area 8 (the "Project ") in lieu of a.7,200 square foot community mausoleum; and WHEREAS, on July 10, 1995, the City Council adopted a Negative Declaration, approved Use Permit No. 3518, General Plan Amendment No. '94 -1(F), Site Plan Review No. 69 and Development Agreement No. 7 to establish maximum permitted development allocation for Pacific View Memorial Park of 30,000 square -feet of administrative offices and support facilities, 121,680 square -feet of community mausolea and 12,000 square -feet of family mausolea, and granted Pacific View Memorial Park statutory vested rights to develop the subject property in accordance with the terms and conditions for the ultimate build -out of the entire cemetery property; and WHEREAS, on August 9, 2007, the Planning Commission, with a vote of 5 ayes (one absent and one abstain), recommended approval of Development Agreement No. 2006 -001 and Use Permit No. 2006 -040 and adoption of Negative Declaration No. 2007- 001 to the City Council; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Newport Beach City Council on September 11, 2007 in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the City Council at this meeting; and WHEREAS, a use permit for the proposed Project has been prepared in accordance with Section 20.91.035 of the Municipal Code based on the following findings and facts in support of such findings: 1. Finding: That the proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of this Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. i� Page 2 of 8 Facts in Support of Finding: A. The existing Pacific View Memorial Park is a privately owned cemetery which is a permitted use in the Private Institutional (PI) General Plan Land Use Element designation and consistent with the purpose of the GEIF Zoning District. An approval of a use permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 20.91 is required since Pacific View is proposing to change the development allocations within Building Site "H" of Area 8. The proposed changes are site - specific, within the existing cemetery and, therefore, would not cause any land use conflict or inconsistency with the surrounding area. B. Finding: That the proposed location of the Use Permit and the proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will be consistent with the General Plan and the purpose of the district in which the site is located; will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City. Facts in Support of Finding: A. The proposed Project is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan, which designates the property as Private Institutional (PI) with a maximum, permitted development allocation for Pacific View of 30,000 square -feet of administrative offices and support facilities, 121,680 square -feet of community mausolea and 12,000 square -feet of family mausolea. The PI designation is intended to provide for privately -owned facilities that serve the public, including places for religious assembly, private schools, healthcare facilities, cultural institutions, museums, yacht clubs, congregate homes, and comparable facilities. The proposed Project presents no conflict with the policies of the General Plan. All development regulations of the GEIF District would be met, including structure height limitations and development limits B. The proposed project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in, or adjacent to, the neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity, or to the general welfare of the City due to the following: 1. The overall building mass and the total building floor area for Building Site "H" would be reduced from 7,200 square feet to 2,024 square feet, a 72% reduction in floor area. 2. The overall structure building height would be reduced from 24 to 17 feet. 3. By reducing the total number of casket spaces available from approximately 1,200 in the community mausoleum structure to `5 Page 3 of 8 approximately 280 for six (6) family mausolea and for estate gardens, funeral services and related activities would be reduced significantly. 4. The family mausoleum building envelopes would spread across an area larger than the current community mausoleum in Building Site "H ". This would allow for additional landscaping around each family mausoleum building envelope to integrate and buffer each structure from surrounding views. 5. Additional landscaping would be provided within Building Site "H ". Two (2) 36 -inch box trees would be planted on the slope around each of the family mausoleum building envelopes. The trees would be planted within twelve (12) months of the effective date of the Project approval or prior to the issuance of a building permit for the first structure, whichever is earlier. Additionally, at the time of construction of any family mausoleum, one additional 48 -inch box tree would be planted at side or rear elevation and one additional 36 -inch box tree would be planted adjacent to the front elevation of the structure. Prior to the issuance for a certificate of occupancy of any individual family mausoleum, additional trees, if needed, would be planted to screen the subject structure from the ground floor views of the residential properties immediately adjacent to the subject site. 6. Each family mausolea would be constructed in a considerably shorter time frame than the community mausoleum construction period. Since the family mausolea are mostly prefabricated, there would be more of an assembly operation rather than the on -site community mausoleum construction which consists of concrete forming, pouring and stripping operation, including the use of concrete pumps and booms that have more construction impacts to the nearby residents. 7. The estate gardens are ground burials similar to other areas in the cemetery with stone walls and above -grade memorials not exceeding 3 feet in height. 3. Finding: That the proposed use will comply with the provisions of this Code, including specific conditions for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located. Facts in Support of Finding: A. The Use Permit presently entitles the applicant to develop the cemetery consistent with the approved development plans attached to the Development Agreement. Mausoleum structures housing crypts and estate gardens are currently allowed on -site and have been constructed in areas adjacent to the project building site. Pacific View has developed the cemetery in a manner to satisfy mitigation measures and has implemented conditions of approval as adopted in the Use Permit and Development Agreement. The Use Permit and Development Agreement currently allow for a maximum 7,200 square -foot 0 Page 4 of 8 (60'x120') community mausoleum with maximum building height of 24 feet in Building Site "H ", and for Area 8 to be improved with ground burials, in a manner consistent with a cemetery. B. The nearest proposed family mausoleum building envelope would be located a minimum of 190 feet from the southeast property line of the nearest residences and 390 feet from the easterly property line of the nearest residences. The finished floor elevation would be approximately 80 feet below the nearest residence to the southeast and approximately 70 feet below the easterly residences. The current maximum family mausoleum structure allowed by the Use Permit and Development Agreement in other areas of the cemetery is 15 feet in height, 22 feet in width, and 12 feet in depth. For Building Site "H" only, the applicant proposes four (4) building envelopes to be at 17 feet in height, 22 feet in width and 17 feet in depth and two smaller structures at 15 feet in height, 22 feet in width, and 12 feet in depth. The proposed project, if approved, would be included with specific conditions for the development of Building Site "H ", Area 8; and WHEREAS, an Initial Study and Negative Declaration (ND) for the Project have been prepared in compliance with the Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and City Council Policy K -3. The Draft ND was circulated for public comment between April 6 and April 26, 2007; and WHEREAS, on the basis of the entire environmental review record, the proposed Project will have a less than significant impact upon the environment and there are no known substantial adverse affects on human beings that would be caused. No significant impacts are identified based upon a comparison of the proposed Project with the established thresholds of signifcant. Additionally, there are no long -term environmental goals that would be compromised by the Project, nor cumulative impacts anticipated in connection with the Project. As result, no new mitigation measures are identified. Those mitigation measures from the 1995 adopted Initial Study /Negative Declaration, which are applicable to this Project, are referenced in the ND as part of the environmental analysis; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA determinations and approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In addition, project opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As project applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that such applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial challenge, and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorney's fees, and damages which may be awarded to a successful challenger; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: Section 1. The City Council of the City of Newport Beach does hereby find, on the basis of the whole record, that there is no substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant effect on the environment and that the Negative Declaration reflects the City Council's independent judgment and analysis. The City Council hereby adopts and 10 Page 5 of 8 certifies Negative Declaration No. 2007 -001 included therewith. The document and all material, which constitute the record upon which this decision was based, are on file with the Planning Department, City Hall, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. Section 2. Based on the aforementioned findings, the City Council hereby approves Use Permit No. 2006 -040 subject to the conditions of approval attached as Exhibit A.

Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the City Council at this meeting; and WHEREAS, the Project requires the approval of an amendment to Development Agreement No. 7 pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.45.060 of the Municipal Code (Development Agreements: Amendment/Cancellation). This section states a development agreement may be amended in whole or in part, by mutual consent of the parties to the agreement or their successors in interest and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 65864 et seq. of the California Government Code; and WHEREAS, the Project is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan, which designates the property as Private Institutional (PI). The existing Pacific View Memorial Park is a privately -owned cemetery with no changes proposed to the land use designation. The 1� Page 2 of 4 Project is site specific and only applicable to Building Site "H ", Area 8 and does not include the introduction of new uses that are inconsistent with the land use designation of the General Plan nor does it change the diversity of uses. The Project would result in a decrease of the Pacific View's overall community mausoleum development limit of 7,200 square foot community mausoleum.

Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the property and posted at the site a minimum of 10 days in advance of this hearing consistent with the Municipal Code. Additionally, the item appeared upon the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the City website; and WHEREAS, on July 10, 1995, the City Council adopted a Negative Declaration, approved Use Permit No. 3518, General Plan Amendment No. 94 -1(F), Site Plan Review No. 69 and Development Agreement No. 7 to establish maximum permitted development allocation for Pacific View Memorial Park of 30,000 square -feet of administrative offices and support facilities, 121,680 square -feet of community mausolea and 12,000 square -feet of family mausolea and granted Pacific View Memorial Park statutory vested rights to develop the subject property in accordance with the terms and conditions for the ultimate build -out of the entire cemetery property; and WHEREAS, a use permit for the proposed Project has been prepared in accordance with Section 20.91.035 of the Municipal Code based on the following findings and facts in support of such findings: 1. Finding: That the proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of this code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. Facts in Support of Finding: The existing Pacific View Memorial Park is a privately owned cemetery which is a permitted use in the Private Institutional (PI) General Plan Land Use Element designation and consistent with the purpose of the GEIF Zoning District. An approval of a use permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 20.91 is required since Pack View is proposing to change the JA City of Newport Beach Planning Commission Resolution No. Page 2 of 8 development allocations within Building Site "H" of Area 8. The proposed changes are site - specific, within the existing cemetery and, therefore, would not cause any land use conflict or inconsistency with the surrounding area. 2. Finding: That the proposed location of the Use Permit and the proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will be consistent with the General Plan and the purpose of the district in which the site is located; will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the city. Facts in Support of Finding: A. The proposed Project is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan, which designates the property as Private Institutional (PI) with a maximum, permitted development allocation for Pacific View of 30,000 square -feet of administrative offices and support facilities, 121,680 square -feet of community mausolea and 12,000 square -feet of family mausolea. The PI designation is intended to provide for privately -owned facilities that serve the public, including places for religious assembly, private schools, healthcare facilities, cultural institutions, museums, yacht clubs, congregate homes, and comparable facilities. The proposed Project presents no conflict with the policies of the General Plan. All development regulations of the GEIF District would be met, including structure height limitations and development limits B. The proposed project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City due to the following: 1. The overall building mass and the total building floor area for Building Site "H" would be reduced from 7,200 square feet to 2,024 square feet, a 72% reduction in floor area. 2. The overall structure building height would be reduced from 24 to 17 feet. 3. By reducing the total number of casket spaces available from approximately 1,200 in the community mausoleum structure to approximately 280 for six (6) family mausolea and for estate gardens, funeral services and related activities would be reduced significantly. 4. The family mausoleum building envelopes would spread across an area larger than the current community mausoleum in Building Site "H ". This would allow for additional landscaping around each family P City of Newport Beach Planning Commission Resolution No. _ Paae 3 of 8 mausoleum building envelope to integrate and buffer each structure from surrounding views. 5. Additional landscaping would be provided within Building Site "H ". Two (2) 36 -inch box trees would be planted on the slope around each of the family mausoleum building envelopes. The trees would be planted within twelve (12) months of the effective date of the Project approval or prior to the issuance of a building permit for the first structure, whichever is earlier. Additionally, at the time of construction of any family mausoleum, one additional 48 -inch box tree would be planted at side or rear elevation and one additional 36 -inch box tree would be planted adjacent to the front elevation of the structure. Prior to the issuance for a certificate of occupancy of any individual family mausoleum, additional trees, if needed, would be planted to screen the subject structure from the ground floor views of the residential properties immediately adjacent to the subject site. 6. Each family mausolea would be constructed in a considerably shorter time frame than the community mausoleum construction period. Since the family mausolea are mostly prefabricated, there would be more of an assembly operation rather than the on -site community mausoleum construction which consists of concrete forming, pouring and stripping operation, including the use of concrete pumps and booms that have more construction impacts to the nearby residents. 7. The estate gardens are ground burials similar to other areas in the cemetery with stone walls and above -grade memorials not exceeding 3 feet in height. 3. Finding: That the proposed use will comply with the provisions of this code, including specific conditions for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located. Facts in Support of Finding: The Use Permit presently entitles the applicant to develop the cemetery consistent with the approved development plans attached to the Development Agreement. Mausoleum structures housing crypts and estate gardens are currently allowed on -site and have been constructed in areas adjacent to the project building site. Pacific View has developed the cemetery in a manner to satisfy mitigation measures and has implemented conditions of approval as adopted in the Use Permit and Development Agreement. The Use Permit and Development Agreement currently allow for a maximum 7,200 square -foot (60'x120') community mausoleum with maximum building height of 24 feet in Building Site "H ", and for Area 8 to be improved with ground burials, in a manner consistent with a cemetery. The nearest proposed family mausoleum building envelope would be located a minimum of 190 feet from the southeast property line of the nearest residences and 390 feet from the easterly property line of the nearest residences. The finished floor EM City of Newport Beach Planning Commission Resolution No. Page 4 of 8 elevation would be approximately 80 feet below the nearest residence to the southeast and approximately 70 feet below the easterly residences. The current maximum family mausoleum structure allowed by the Use Permit and Development Agreement in other areas of the cemetery is 15 feet in height, 22 feet in width, and 12 feet in depth. For Building Site "H" only, the applicant proposes four (4) building envelopes to be at 17 feet in height, 22 feet in width and 17 feet in depth and two smaller structures at 15 feet in height, 22 feet in width, and 12 feet in depth. The proposed project, if approved, would be included with specific conditions for the development of Building Site "H Area 8; and WHEREAS, the Project also requires the approval of an amendment to Development Agreement No. 7 pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.45.060 of the Municipal Code (Development Agreements: Amendment/Cancellation). This section states a development agreement may be amended in whole or in part, by mutual consent of the parties to the agreement or their successors in interest and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 65864 et seq. of the California Government Code. The parties, in this case, would be the applicant and the Newport Beach City Council; and WHEREAS, an Initial Study and Negative Declaration (ND) for the Project have been prepared in compliance with the Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and City Council Policy K -3. The Draft ND was circulated for public comment between April 6 and April 26, 2007; and WHEREAS, on the basis of the entire environmental review record, the proposed Project will have a less than significant impact upon the environment and there are no known substantial adverse affects on human beings that would be caused. No significant impacts are identified based upon a comparison of the proposed Project with the established thresholds of significant. Additionally, there are no long -term environmental goals that would be compromised by the Project, nor cumulative impacts anticipated in connection with the Project. As result, no new mitigation measures identified. Those mitigation measures from the 1995 adopted Initial Study /Negative Declaration which are applicable to this Project are referenced in the ND as part of the environmental analysis; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA determinations and approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In addition, project opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As project applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that such applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial challenge, and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorney's fees, and damages which may be awarded to a successful challenger; and IN City of Newport Beach Planning Commission Resolution No. Paae 5 of 8 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach does hereby find, .on the basis of the whole record, that there is no substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant effect on the environment and that the Negative Declaration reflects the Planning Commission's independent judgment and analysis. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt and certify Negative Declaration No. 2007 -001 included therewith. The document and all material which constitute the record upon which this decision was based are on file with the Planning Department, City Hall, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. Section 2. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt Negative Declaration No. 2007 -001 and approve Use Permit No. 2006 -040 subject to the conditions of approval attached as Exhibit A and Development Agreement No. 2006 -001 as attached as Exhibit B.

O'Neil answered we are conditioned to put in 36" boxes and none ?se family mausolea will be able to be seen by the residents from abc en they are occupied. The landscaping will go in starting within twel mths after this Development Agreement amendment is approved a ther landscaping will go in when building permits are pulled for ea nily mausolea and finally, before there is a certificate of occupancy, 1 1 finish the landscaping. There is an additional provision in t velopment Agreement that says that if in fact any part of the tusolea are visible from up above that the City can require Pacific Vi further landscape it, which we have agreed to. We think there is me in adequate protection so that by the time these family mausolea go ?re will be fully mature landscaping screening. missioner McDaniel asked about the timeframe. Green answered that we are required to build a commur isoleum, which is a cast in place concrete structure, within a nir ith period from the day we start to end when we get a certificate upancy. He explained the construction process. The family mausol pre- fabricated all- granite buildings that are pinned together. Other th grading that will be done and the planting of the 36" box trees, the Dings are brought to the site and assembled quickly and set on crete foundation. The timing is a matter of weeks. We are requir the day we request the certificate of occupancy, a City inspec ies out and inspects from those two viewpoints. If it is deem essary, we are required to plant more trees to immediately block a ✓ of the mausolea . ;hairman Hawkins noted the aesthetic impact and landscaping will be uring the construction or during the period the structure will be erected. sere a feasible way to screen the structure prior to the certificate ccupancy? How tall and wide is a 36" box tree? Ir. Green answered that by planting the 36" box trees now those trees wil row. Our anticipation is that we will not need to add much additiona indscaping. We could go out and plant trees to screen during the Dnstruction period; however, it seems that for a few weeks of assemblinc peration it's onerous. We would like to finish up after it is constructed. luring the construction period there is really not a lot that is going to be sen. The soonest we can build a building is a year and a half from nom y the time you go through all the permitting and assembling an( ibrication, etc. The typical spec would be five- foot -wide by about twelve. )ot -high trees. We are required to put in some 48" box trees which will be irger and depending on what species they will be about 7 feet by 14 fee igh. Since they will be placed up a slope, they will be higher than the uildings the day they are planted. comment was closed. imissioner McDaniel noted the views from the back of these folks private views, not public views.

I can't see where the proposed amendment suiting development has any kind of adverse impact on adja operties. It is not reducing values, not blocking views and with iorter amount of time to erect the mausolea with the additi ndscaping there is no negative impact.

PROJECT SUMMARY The project consists of the development of six (6) family mausolea and estate gardens in Building Site "H" of Area 8 at the Pacific View Memorial Park. The following discretionary approvals are requested or required in order to implement the project as proposed: 1. An amendment to Use Permit No. 3518; and 2. An amendment to Development Agreement No. 7 to allow the Pacific View Memorial Park (Pacific View) to amend the development allocations within Building Site "H" of Area 8. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following action: Adopt attached draft resolution (Exhibit 1) recommending adoption of Negative Declaration No. 2007 -001 and approval of Use Permit No. 2006 -040 and Development Agreement No. 2006 -001 to the City Council. 4A Pacific View Memorial Park August 9, 2007 Page 2 of 14 Vicinitv M Ow s �" �2a Subject — �a ,�► Property ��, < ''' Ak i A Av IL N ,f Ilk ' N 1u O UIN HILLS R'1 T 4 " 'fl xvdl 3500 Pacific View Dr. Use Permit No. 2006 -040 & Develooment Aareement No. 2006 -001 Current Development: Pacific View Memorial Park To the north: Single-family residential To the east: Single-family residential To the south: Single-family residential across San Joaquin Hills Road To the west: Big Canyon Reservoir and Harbor Day School qx Pacific View Memorial Park August 9, 2007 Page 3 of 14 tO Pacific View Memorial Park August 9, 2007 Page 4 of 14 PROJECT INFORMATION Project Description The applicant is proposing to develop six (6) family mausolea in Building Site "H" of Area 8, for a total of 2,024 square feet in lieu of a single 7,200 square foot (60'xl20') community mausoleum. Two (2) of the six (6) family mausoleum building envelopes (H.5 and H.6) would be at 15 feet in height, 22 feet in width, and 12 feet in depth. The four (4) remaining building envelopes (H.1, H.2, H.3 & H.4) would be at 17 feet in height, 22 feet in width, and 17 feet in depth. The development of ground burial terraced estate gardens within Building Site "H" is also proposed. The project requires the approval of an amendment to Use Permit No. 3518 (by approving Use Permit No. 2006 -040) pursuant to Section 20.25.020(D) of the Municipal Code (GEIF District: Additional Land Use Regulations). This section states that an approval of a use permit pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 20.91 is required for any changes in the operational characteristics of an existing use within this zoning district. The project also requires the approval of an amendment to Development Agreement No. 7 (by approving Development Agreement No. 2006 -001) pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.45.060 of the Municipal Code (Development Agreements: Amendment/Cancellation). This section states a development agreement may be amended, in whole or in part, by mutual consent of the parties to the agreement or their successors in interest and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 65864 et seq. of the California Government Code. The parties, in this case, would be the applicant and the Newport Beach City Council. Decision - making authority for use permits is assigned to the Planning Commission pursuant to Section 20.91.015 of the Municipal Code (Use Permit and Variance to Other Permits) or by the affirmative vote of the City Council on appeal or review. The Planning Commission, in this particular case, would review and forward their recommendation to the City Council for their final decision due to the Development Agreement amendment request. Background Pacific View began its operation as a cemetery in 1958 under the County of Orange jurisdiction. In 1969 the City of Newport Beach began the phased annexation and in 1973 the entire property was annexed into the City. On July 10, 1995, the City Council adopted a Negative Declaration and approved an amendment made to the General Plan Land Use Element to establish maximum permitted development allocation for Pacific View of 30,000 square feet of administrative offices and support facilities, 121,680 square feet of community mausolea and 12,000 square feet of garden crypts including family mausolea. The City 5� Pacific View Memorial Park August 9, 2007 Page 5 of 14 Council also approved Use Pen-nit No. 3518, Site Plan Review No. 69 and Development Agreement No. 7 attached as Exhibit 2, which grants Pacific View statutory vested rights to develop the subject property in accordance with the terms, conditions and exhibits contained in the agreement for the ultimate build -out of the entire cemetery. On December 20, 2006, the applicant submitted an application package requesting the development of nine (9) family mausolea in Building Site "H" of Area 8 in lieu of a 7,200 square foot (60'x120) community mausoleum. The maximum allowable building envelope for each structure would be at 17 feet in height, 22 feet in width and 17 feet in depth. The request also includes the development of estate gardens within Building Site "H ". Concerns of Residents The Planning Department received several letters (Exhibit 3) from the Spyglass Hill residents during the application review process. They collectively expressed their opposition to the proposed application on the following points: 1. The intent and purpose of the Development Agreement would be violated if the Agreement is amended. 2. The nine (9) family mausoleum structures and estate gardens will negatively impact views and the aesthetic of the park by changing the park -like character of the Pacific View to more of the `Eastern" style cemetery. 3. The nine (9) family mausolea versus the community mausoleum would generate more construction activity, noise and traffic. 4. The above - ground monuments and markers would have the characteristics of an "Eastern" style cemetery and could attach a stigma to the otherwise park -like setting and will have a negative impact on the property values in the area. In response to the above - stated concerns, Pacific View held several meetings with representatives of the Spyglass Hill Homeowners Association board of directors. On August 1, 2007, the applicant revised their application (Exhibit 4) reflecting the current request in response to the concerns raised by the Spyglass Hills residents. The following changes have been included in the submitted plans and are a part of Pacific View application: 1. Within Building Site "H ", there shall be no more than six (6) family mausolea. Two (2) building envelopes (H.5 & H.6) shall not exceed a maximum of 15 feet in height, 22 feet in width and 12 feet in depth, and four (4) building envelopes (H.1, H.2, H.3 & HA) may be a maximum of 17 feet in height, 22 feet in width, and 17 feet in depth. S1 Pack View Memorial Park August 9, 2007 Page 6 of 14 2. Religious, ornamental and other vertical objects shall not be permitted on the roof or protrude above the roofline of the family mausolea. 3. Construction of a community mausoleum and crypt wall within Building Site "E" shall not commence prior to January 1, 2014. 4. Estate gardens shall be constructed into the slope supported by retaining walls consistent with the visual simulations prepared by the City of Newport Beach and as shown on Exhibit "F" of the draft First Amendment. No monuments, fences, gates or other elements except plant material shall exceed the top height of the estate garden walls. 5. Pacific View agrees to extend the term of the Development Agreement for eighteen (18) years from the effective date of the Development Agreement Amendment plus the seven (7) year automatic extension. The Development Agreement will, therefore, be in force for approximately twenty -five (25) years from the effective date of the First Amendment. 6. Pacific View would not seek to amend the Development Agreement for a period of not less than fifteen (15) years from the effective date of the First Amendment. 7. Minor adjustments necessary for safety, maintenance, slope engineering, landscaping, the engineering of building pads, and the reorientation of structures within existing building envelopes, given the extended period of years over which the property will be developed, shall be allowed with the approval of the Planning Director, so long as such minor adjustments are consistent with the building envelopes and at or below the building height limits shown on Exhibit "C" of the First Amendment (Technical Site Plan), and do not involve changes or additions to the number, type, height, or placement of structures (other than changes in the orientation of structures within building envelopes specified in accordance with Exhibit "C" of the First Amendment in Area 8, 9, 10 and 11. 8. The 430 -foot mean sea level elevation landscape restriction would be extended to encompass the entire boundaries of Building Sites "E ", "F" and "G ". 9. At the time of construction of any individual family mausoleum in Building Site "H ", one (1) 48 -inch box tree shall be planted at side or rear elevation and one additional 36.-inch box size tree shall be planted adjacent to the front elevation of the structure as indicated in Exhibit "D" of the draft First Amendment. 10. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy of any individual family mausoleum, additional trees, if needed, would be planted to screen the constructed family mausolea in Building Site "H" from the ground floor views of the residential properties immediately adjacent to the subject site. A letter of support from the Spyglass Hill HOA is attached as Exhibit 5 Pacific View Memorial Park August 9, 2007 Page 7 of 14 Existinq Approval The 45 -acre Pacific View is divided into 11 areas (Area 1 through 11). A majority of these areas contain precise building sites (Building Site A through H) where above- ground structures such as community mausolea, family mausolea, columbaria and/or estate gardens with above -grade memorials and garden walls could be built. Area 8, the subject of this application, is approximately 2 acres in size, undeveloped and located in the southeast portion of the cemetery which is directly adjacent to the intersection of Vista del Mar Drive and Palm Canyon Drive. Within Area 8 is Building Site "H ". Per the Development Agreement, Building Site "H" is approved to be developed with a 7,200 square -foot community mausoleum of 24 feet maximum in building height. The rest of Area 8 is to be developed with ground burials. DISCUSSION Analysis General Plan — Land Use Element The proposed project is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan, which designates the property as Private Institutional (PI) with development limit of 30,000 square -feet for administrative office and support facilities, 121,680 square -feet for mausolea and 12,000 square -feet for garden crypts. The PI designation is intended to provide for privately -owned facilities that serve the public, including places for religious assembly, private schools, healthcare facilities, cultural institutions, museums, yacht clubs, congregate homes and comparable facilities. The existing Pacific View Memorial Park is a privately -owned cemetery with no changes proposed to the land use designation. The proposed project is site specific and only applicable to Building Site "H ", Area 8 and does not include the introduction of new uses that are inconsistent with the land use designation of the General Plan nor does it change the diversity of uses. The proposed project would result in a decrease of the Pacific Views overall community mausoleum development limit of 7,200 square foot community mausoleum. There would be no increase to the family mausoleum allotment as the applicant is proposing to extract the square footage from the approved family mausoleum development limit of 12,000 square feet. The proposed estate gardens are ground burials with no development limitation and therefore would not affect the approved development limits. Visual Simulations Visual simulations were prepared to represent views to the previously- approved community mausoleum and the proposed family mausolea with and without landscape 63 Pacific View Memorial Park August 9, 2007 Page 8of14 screening. These viewing stations for the simulations are at two (2) different locations: at the subject property lines adjacent to the residential properties of 5 Monterey Circle (Exhibit 6) and at 1 Little River Circle (Exhibit 7). The simulations indicate the proposed family mausolea would not be visible to the residents residing along the cemetary's northeast and southeast properties. Given the distance from the nearby residences and with proposed landscape screening, the view to the proposed family mausolea does not represent a negative impact. In addition to the visual simulations, pictures were taken from the residences of 1, 2, 3,& 4 Twin Lakes Circle and 1, 3, 7, 9 & 11 Monterey Circle looking straight to Building "H ", Area 8 of the Pacific View (Exhibit 8). Zoning Code The subject property is located within the Governmental, Educational and Institutional Facilities (GEIF) District. The existing Pacific View Memorial Park is a permitted use in this district. Required findings for approval of the Use Permit must be made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 20.91 of the Municipal Code. All development regulations of the GEIF Zoning District and conditions of approval of the Use Permit would be met. The applicant is proposing following proposed changes to Building Site "H" of Area 8: Building Site "H" Allowed Under Current Use Permit & Development Proposed Changes Agreement Estate 1 Community Mausoleum 6 Family Gardens Mausolea (Ground Burials) Garden walls Maximum Height 24 feet 15 and 17 feet & memorials - 3 feet 2 @ 264 s.f.

NIA (17x22) each 2 024 s.f. total 54 Pack View Memorial Park August 9, 2007 Page 9 of 14 Use Permit Findings Section 20.91.035(A) of the Zoning Code requires the Planning Commission to make certain mandatory findings for the approval of a use permit. These findings are listed and discussed below. 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of this code and `he purposes of the district in which the site is. located. The existing Pacific View Memorial Park is a privately owned cemetery which is a permitted use in the Private Institutional (PI) General Plan Land Use Element designation and consistent with the purpose of the GEIF Zoning District. An approval of a use permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 20.91 is required since Pacific View is proposing to change the development allocations within Building Site "H" of Area 8. The proposed changes are site - specific, within the existing cemetery and, therefore, would not cause any land use conflict or inconsistency with the surrounding area. 2. That the proposed location of the use permit and the proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will be consistent with the General Plan and the purpose of the District in which the site is located; will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City. The proposed Project is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan, with a maximum, permitted development allocation for Pacific View of 30,000 square feet of administrative offices and support facilities, 121,680 square feet of community mausolea and 12,000 square feet of family mausolea. The PI designation is intended to provide for privately -owned facilities that serve the public, including places for religious assembly, private schools, healthcare facilities, cultural institutions, museums, yacht clubs, congregate homes, and comparable facilities. The proposed project presents no conflict with the policies of the General Plan. All development regulations of the GEIF District would be met, including structure height limitations and development limits. It is staffs opinion that the proposed project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City due to the following: • The overall building mass and the total building floor area for Building Site "H" would be reduced from 7,200 square feet to 2,024 square feet, a 72 percent reduction in floor area. 55 Pacific View Memorial Park August 9, 2007 Page 10 of 14 • The overall structure building height would be reduced from 24 to 17 feet. • By reducing the total number of casket spaces available from approximately 1,200 in the community mausoleum structure to approximately 280 for six (6) family mausolea and for estate gardens, funeral services and related activities would be reduced significantly. • The family mausoleum building envelopes would spread across an area larger than the current Building Site "H ". This would allow for additional landscaping around each building envelope to integrate and buffer each from surrounding views. • Additional landscaping would be provided within Building Site "H ". Two (2) 36 -inch trees would be planted on the slope around each of the family mausoleum building envelopes. The trees would be planted within twelve (12) months of the effective date of the project approval or prior to the issuance of a building permit for the first structure, whichever is earlier. At the time of construction of any family mausoleum, one (1) 48 -inch box tree would be planted at side or rear elevation and one additional 36 -inch box tree would be planted adjacent to the front elevation of the structure. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any individual family mausoleum, additional trees, if needed, would be planted to screen the subject structure from the ground floor views of the residential properties immediately adjacent to the subject site. • The family mausolea would be constructed in a considerably shorter time frame than the community mausoleum construction period. Since the family mausolea are mostly prefabricated, there would be more of an assembly operation rather than the on -site community mausoleum construction which consists of concrete forming, pouring and stripping operation, including the use of concrete pumps and booms that have more construction impacts to the nearby residents. • The estate gardens are ground burials similar to other areas in the cemetery with stone walls and above -grade memorials not exceeding 3 feet in height. 3. That the proposed use will comply with the provisions of this code, including any speck condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located. The Use Permit presently entitles the applicant to develop the cemetery consistent with the approved development plans attached to the Development Agreement. Mausoleum structures housing crypts and estate gardens are currently allowed on -site and have been constructed in areas adjacent to the project building site. Pacific View has developed the cemetery in a manner to satisfy mitigation measures and has implemented conditions of approval as adopted in the Use Permit and Development Agreement. The Use Permit and Development Agreement currently allow for a maximum 7,200 square -foot (60'x120') community mausoleum with maximum building 5(O Pacific View Memorial Park August 9, 2007 Page 11 of 14 height of 24 feet in Building Site "H ", and for Area 8 to be improved with ground burials, in a manner consistent with a cemetery. The nearest proposed family mausoleum building envelope would be located a minimum of 190 feet from the southeast property line of the nearest residences and 390 feet from the easterly property line of the nearest residences. The finished floor elevation would be approximately 80 feet below the nearest residence to the southeast and approximately 70 feet below the easterly residences. The current maximum family mausoleum structure allowed by the Use Permit and Development Agreement in other areas of the cemetery is 15 feet in height, 22 feet in width, and 12 feet in depth. For Building Site "H" only, the applicant proposes four (4) building envelopes to be at 17 feet in height, 22 feet in width and 17 feet in depth and two smaller structures at 15 feet in height, 22 feet in width, and 12 feet in depth. The proposed project, if approved, would be included with specific conditions for the development of Building Site "H ", Area 8. Development Agreement Amendment The purpose of the Development Agreement is to enable Pacific View Memorial Park to Master Plan the build -out of the property based on internment and funeral service needs of the community, while minimizing the impact of the build -out on the adjoining residences. The Development Agreement contains comprehensive provisions setting forth the timing for development phasing, construction scheduling, the height and design of structures, landscaping, and the maintenance of a buffer landscape area in perpetuity between the Park and the nearby residents. The term of the existing Development Agreement is for a period of twenty (20) years with an automatic 10 -year extension if at the expiration of the initial 20 -year term Pacific View has not completed all of the development authorized in the Development Agreement and is in the 12" year of the 20 -year term. To date, the Park has made the following improvements: The existing Development Agreement requires that Area 8 be developed with flat marker ground burial and be maintained in a manner consistent with the existing "park like" development. Building Site "H" is to be developed with a 7,200 square -foot community mausoleum. If approved, the overall square footage allowance for community mausolea will be reduced from 121,680 to 114,480 square feet. There would be no increase to the family mausoleum allotment as the applicant is proposing 5A Total Built to Allowed Remaining Date Administration Building 30,000 s.f. 10,317 s.f. 19,683 s.f.

The existing Development Agreement requires that Area 8 be developed with flat marker ground burial and be maintained in a manner consistent with the existing "park like" development. Building Site "H" is to be developed with a 7,200 square -foot community mausoleum. If approved, the overall square footage allowance for community mausolea will be reduced from 121,680 to 114,480 square feet. There would be no increase to the family mausoleum allotment as the applicant is proposing 5A Pacific View Memorial Park August 9, 2007 Page 12 of 14 to extract the square footage from the approved family mausoleum development limit of 12,000 square feet. Attached with the staff report for Planning Commission consideration is the proposed First Amendment to the Development Agreement (Exhibit 9), which includes proposed changes to the applicable sections and added language for the proposed landscaping. This document has been reviewed by the City Attorney's Office for code compliance and accuracy. Environmental Review An Initial Study /Negative Declaration (ND) has been prepared by Dudek for the project as originally submitted by the applicant in compliance with the implementing guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The document is attached as Exhibit 10 and identifies ten (10) issue areas with "less than significant impact" determinations. Those issues are: Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology & Water Quality, Noise, Transportation/Traffic, and Utilities and Services Systems. No significant impacts are identified based upon a comparison of the proposed project with the established thresholds of signifcant. As result, no new mitigation measures have been identified. Those mitigation measures from the 1995 adopted Initial Study /Negative Declaration (Exhibit 11) which are applicable to this project are referenced in the ND as part of the environmental analysis. The ND was circulated for a 20 -day public review, between April 6 and April 26, 2007. Staff received comments from the nearby residents but none were environment impact - related. The residents' concerns have been discussed under the Concerns of Residents Section. The modifications to the submitted application requested by Pacific View address the concerns raised by the nearby residents and are consistent with the project characteristics analyzed in the ND. As a result, no further review or amendment to the ND is necessary. Public Notice Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the property and posted at the site a minimum of 10 days in advance of this hearing consistent with the Municipal Code. Additionally, the item appeared upon the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the city website. CONCLUSION Staff believes that findings necessary for project approval can be made. The Use Permit application does not include the introduction of new uses inconsistent with the 5� Pacific View Memorial Park August 9, 2007 Page 13 of 14 land use designation of the site. The request to develop six (6) family mausolea within Building Site "H ", Area 8 in lieu of a larger community mausoleum should not prove detrimental to the adjacent residential properties given the smaller building mass and size of the proposed six (6) family mausolea, the placement of these structures which is considerably below the existing established grade of the adjacent residents, the proposed setbacks of these structures, and the additional landscaping to screen these structures from the ground floor views of the nearby residential properties. The estate gardens would be adequately screened from the nearby residents by virtue being constructed into the slope supported by- retaining walls with no monuments, fences, gates or other elements exceeding the top height of the estate garden walls. In conclusion, staff believes that the project implementation as described will be adequately controlled through the conditions of approval stated in the Use Permit and First Agreement, such that the project will not be detrimental to the neighborhood of the City. ALTERNATIVES 1. If the Planning Commission determines that not all the facts in support of the findings can be made for the applicant's requests, the Planning Commission should direct staff to prepare findings and a resolution denying the requests and return at the next Planning Commission meeting date with such resolution for adoption; or 2. The Planning Commission may suggest specific project modifications that are needed for approval. If this is done, the item should be continued if the changes are reasonable and easy to incorporate. If substantial changes are directed, the item should be removed from calendar to allow redesign of the project.

Upon a City Default, any resulting delays in Pacific View's performance shall neither be Pacific View's Default nor constitute grounds 27 a 'L 4� • for termination or cancellation of the Agreement by the City. 9.7 Availability of Specific Performance. Both parties agree and recognize that it will not be possible to restore the land use entitlements for the Property to their state prior to this Agreement's approval, and that it will not be physically, financially, or practically possible as a matter of land use planning to restore the Property to its prior state once the Project is commenced. For these reasons, it may not be possible to determine an amount of monetary damages which would adequately compensate Pacific View in the event Pacific View is prevented from completing the development envisioned by the Technical Site Plan (Exhibit C) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Therefore, without limiting any remedy available to Pacific View because of a City Default, the parties agree that: (a) monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy for Pacific View if Pacific View is prevented from completing the development envisioned by the Discretionary Approvals, the Technical Site Plan (Exhibit C) and in accordance with the • terms and conditions hereof; and (b) that specific performance and /or injunctive relief shall be available to Pacific View to enforce City's obligations hereunder. Similarly, the City has relied on Pacific View's obligations pursuant to this Agreement in granting approval of the Technical Site Plan (Exhibit C) and Discretionary Approvals. It will not be possible to determine an amount of monetary damages which would adequately compensate the City in the event of a Pacific View Default. Therefore, without limiting any remedy available to the City because of a Pacific View Default, the parties agree that: (a) monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy for the City in the event of a Pacific View Default; and (b) that specific performance and /or injunctive relief shall be available to City to enforce Pacific View's obligations hereunder. 10. GENERAL RELEASE.

Public hearings were held by the Newport Beach Planning Commission on February 23 and March 9, 1995. In response to comments by the Commission and the public the applicant has submitted revisions to the project that are intended to address the major concerns expressed at the public hearings. The key aspects of these revisions are summarized as follows: ♦ The minimum setback for structures and ground interments would be increased from 30 feet to 60 feet from the eastern property line, with a 75 -foot setback at some locations. ♦ The maximum amount of community mausoleum structures would be increased from the previous proposal of 98,600 square feet to 126,700 square feet, or an equivalent building bulk restriction. The limit of 30,000 square feet of administrative office/support facilities and 121000 square fret of family mausoleums (or equivalent building bulk) would remain the same as the previous proposal. ♦ Consideration of a Development Agreement has been included in the list of proposed actions. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project consists of a General Plan Amendment, Use Permit, Site Plan Review and Development Agreement to increase the allowable development intensity and establish development standards for the . existing Pacific View Memorial Park, located at the easterly terminus of Pacific View Drive (see attached vicinity map). The proposed General Plan Amendment would establish a development allocation of a maximum of 30,000 square feet of administrative offices and support facilities, 126,700 square feet of community mausoleum and garden crypts and 12,000 square feet of family mausoleums (or equivalent building bulk restrictions for non - habitable structures). Mausoleums and other structures housing crypts shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved in conjunction with a use permit and site plan review application. Approval of a Use Permit is requested to establish a master plan for the property and permit the interim use of a temporary building for sales offices associated with the cemetery operation Approval of a Site Plan Review is also requested to establish grade for one or more mausoleum sites. Pacific vim Me vonat Park ktitia sway Pop 1 7)l'\ Approval of a Development Agreement is proposed to provide additional assurance to the City, the applicant, and the community that the project will be developed in accordance with the approved plans and requirements. Copies of the site plan, section diagrams and view illustrations are available for public review in the office of the Planning Department during normal business hours. SURROUNDING LAND USES Pacific View Memorial Park is surrounded by Big Canyon Reservoir and Harbor Day School on the west, single - family residential neighborhoods on the north and east, and single -family homes across San Joaquin Nulls Road to the south ANALYSIS L A Land Use and Plannine The property is designated for Governmental, Educational and Institutional Facilities in the Land Use Element of the General Plan, and is currently allowed a maximum floor area of 50,000 square feet. A General Plan Amendment is proposed to establish a separate development allocation of 30,000 square feet of administrative offices and support facilities, 126,700 square feet of community mausoleum and garden crypts and 12,000 square feet of family mausoleums. Zoning for the property is "R -3 -B" (Multiple-Family Residential) and 'U' (Unclassified). Pacific View Memorial Park is surrounded by Big Canyon Reservoir and Harbor Day School on the west, single - family residential neighborhoods on the north and east, and single - family homes across San Joaquin Hills Road to the south. The property is no within the Coastal Zone. Potential impacts The City has determined that the existing General Plan development allocation includes mausoleum floor area, therefore the proposed master, plan would exceed the current entitlement for the site The proposed General Plan Amendment would eliminate this conflict. The proposed master plan does not conflict with the zoning designation for the property. The project would not affect agricultural operations, nor disrupt the physical arrangement of an established community. vou Vim Meniondrn uti.i s * B Continued development of mausoleum or support facilities could result in impacts to adjacent residential areas if not appropriately located, designed and buffered with setbacks and landscaping. (Additional analysis is provided below under Noise and Aesthetics) Approval of the proposed General Plan Amendment would eliminate conflicts between the master plan and the Land Use Element designation for the property. The mash plan has been designed so as to substantially reduce potential land use conflicts between the memorial park and adjacent residential uses. The following mitigation measures would implement the applicable provisions of the master plan: L Buffer Zone a A 60 -foot minimum landscaped buffer zone shall be provided along the eastern properly line adjacent to residential properties No stricture.; roams walkway walls, or grotmd internments shall be permitted within this zone. This buffer shall widen to 75 feet at mausoleum strictures in Building Site E and G as indicated on the site plan b. The setback area shall be landscaped and provided with a penny rent irrigation system. Scdd kndwVmg shall be installed in acacordance with a pkn designed by a licensed landscaped architect and approved by the City of NeRport Beach Said landscaping shall be maintained -by Pacific New in such a way as to preserve night light, water and mountain views from existing residences C. Level of si i„p ficance The proposed General Plan Amendment, master plan design specifications, and recommended mitigation measures would reduce potential land use impacts to a level that is not significant. IL Population and Housing A. Potential impacts The project is institutional and is not directly related to population or housing growth. The proposed project would have no direct effects on the area's population or housing No additional employees would be expected. Pecfe ViewManaid Prk h,Wd sw* Pap a,°1 X B Hfigation No mitigation is required. C Level of significance No significant impacts would be anticipated. III. Geolovic Problems The property lies on sloping terrain that falls from east to west. Elevations range from ±435 feet on the east down to ±315 feet on the west. The average grade for the entire site is approximately 15 %. No significant geologic problems affecting the site are known at this time. No known active earthquake faults are located within the immediate vicinity, although the property is subject to groundshaking during earthquakes. A Potential impacts If unstable soil conditions exist where new structures are proposed, remedial earthwork may be required prior to construction. Soil erosion could occur during grading and construction if appropriate erosion control methods are not followed. The applicant has indicated that no borrow or stockpile sites will be necessary, as excess earth will be spread over undeveloped areas. Each internment site generates approximately 1.5 cubic yards of excess earth. B Mb ion The City Excavation and Grading Code (NBMC Sec. 15.04.140) contains requirements for geotechnical evaluation and erosion control methods to ensure that any future grading and construction is done in such a manner as to minimize the potential for erosion or unstable conditions. C. Level of s rum Existing requirements of the Excavation and Grading Code would reduce potential impacts below the level of significance. Pew- vim, Maumd Puk m;rid sb* PW a 1�-),b TV. Water �y) The project site is located within the Big Canyon drainage, which flows to Upper Newport Bay. The property is not located within a floodplain. Big Canyon Reservoir is a City -owned domestic water storage facility immediately adjamt to the western boundary of the site. The reservoir is lined and surrounded by a berth, and no surface runoff or subsurface flows can enter the reservoir. The site does not he above an aquifer used for domestic water supply. A. Potential impacts Construction impacts: Potential sources of water contaminants include soil erosion, spillage or leakage of fuel and oil from construction equipment, and construction debris which could be washed into Upper Newport Bay via Big Canyon and the storm drain system during storms. The project would not directly alter any drainage pattems or bodies of water. Operational km =s: After completion of the project, pollutants from parking areas, streets and driveways (such as coolant, oil and grease drippings), and fertilizers and pesticides from landscaped areas could be washed into surface waters. Some increase in impervious surfaces would result from construction of additional facilities, which would result in an increase in runoff during storms. B. M iitieation Construction impacts: All grading activities are required to comply with the erosion control provisions of the City's Excavation and Grading Code (NBMC Sec. 15.04.140), as well as the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES), which will substantially reduce pollutant runoff. Operational impacts: Potential operational impacts to stormwater runoff will be mitigated through compliance with NPDES requirements. Any future construction would also be required to provide adequate drainage facilities as required by the City s building code. C. Level of significance With the mitigation measures required by the Grading and Excavation Code and the NPDES program, impacts would be reduced below the level of significance. Pwfic vu: MWWW ra,t MWd sally PW 5 �a� V. Air Oual ' A. Potential impacts C. VL A. Construction impacts: Potential effects on air quality would result from dust, construction equipment exhaust, and construction traffic emissions generated during grading and construction. Operational impacts: No substantial increase in traffic would be expected to result since the project is an existing facility, therefore no substantial increase in vehicle exhaust emissions would occur. There are no other operational characteristics of the project that could result in significant air quality impacts. The only known hazardous or toxic substance used or stored on the property is formaldehyde, but the amount is below the reportable quantity required by law and is not considered to be significant. Mitigation Construction impacts: All grading activities will be required to comply with the dust suppression provisions of the City's Excavation and Grading Code (NBMC Sec. 15.04.140) and AQMD Rule 403. Operational impacts: Since no substantial increase in vehicular travel would be anticipated, no mitigation is necessary. There are no other potential operational impacts to air quality that would require mitigation. Level of significance Construction impacts: With the mitigation measures required by the Grading and Excavation Code and AQMD Rule 403, impacts would be reduced below the level of s4gnificance. Operational impacts: No significant impacts would be expected during operation. Transportation /Circulation/Parkine Potential impacts Construction impacts: A temporary increase in traffic would be generated during construction of new facilities. Operational impacts: The site is located at the easterly terminus of Pacific View Drive, a 2-lane commuter road. The property contains a network of private drives providing access to the facilities No substantial increase in traffic beyond current levels would be anticipated. The Pwfflc ViawMe al Pwk t" sh* Page 6 aa� primary source of traffic is funeral ceremonies, which would not be expected to increase substantially in frequency or size as a result of the project An extension of the intemal loop road system is planned in Areas 3, 4, 5 and 12. In Area 12 the road will be required to maintain a 150 -foot setback from the eastem property line as a buffer for residential properties. There are currently 24 parking spaces located in front of the administrative offices which are used by office employees and visitors. In the maintenance area there 181 parking spaces for maintenance employees. To the southeast, near the flag pole, there is a staging area for funeral Processions that can accommodate as many as 70 cars. In addition, there is curbside parking available throughout the 1.29 miles of private roads within the park. Based on these figures, as well as the fact that staff has never been aware of any parking problems within the park, the existing on -site parking is considered adequate for the proposed operation of the cemetery. B Nfitigation Construction impacts• All construction activities shall be required to comply with the traffic control provisions of the Work Area Traffic Control Handbook to ensure that no hazardous tragic conditions occur during construction. Operational impacts: No mitigation is required. C. Level of significance No significant impacts would be expected. VII. Bioloeical Resources A. Potential impacts The project site is covered by landscaping and ruderal weeds. No significant native vegetation or wildlife habitat are present.

Hazards & Potential impacts During construction, fuel or oil could be spilled from equipment creating a potential risk. No Other potential hazards would be expected. The project would not interfere with any emergency response or evacuation plans. The only other known hazardous or toxic substance used or stored on the property is formaldehyde, but the amount is below the reportable quantity and is not considered to be significant. B. Mitigation Existing provisions of the Municipal Code and state law require that fuel and oil spills be cleaned up promptly. No additional mitigation measures are necessary. C Level of significance Compliance with existing law would reduce potential impacts to a level that is not significant. X. Noise A Mential impacts Construction noise impacts Temporary noise would occur during grading and conduction operations. Construction activities near the adjacent residential neighborhoods could disturb occupants of those areas. PWWw View Men W Pads Im" SW4 PWS PA Operational noise impacts could result from traffic generated by the project and from outdoor fimeral services. Projected traffic generation is not expected to increase substantially as a result of the project, therefore no new significant impacts due to traffic noise would be anticipated. Outdoor memorial services could generate noise that could impact adjacent residents if services were hell near the common boundary with residential properties. In order to assist the City in determining the significance of noise impacts due to memorial services a consulting noise engineer was retained. The consultant's report compared estimated noise levels associated with two alternative mausoleum locations, with the rear wall located either 30 feet or 80 feet from the residential property line. The consultant's report indicated that although noise levels would be apprmmmately 5 dB higher with a 30 -foot setback as compared to an 80 -foot setback, the actual noise level in the rear yards of adjacent residences would be well within acceptable limits with either mausoleum location. The study indicates that with a 30 -foot setback noise levels would be about 60 dB even if the noise source were 90 dB, an unrealistically high assumption for memorial services. A copy of the consultant's report is attached. B Miiti ag tion All construction activity is required to comply with the noise limitations in the Citys Noise Ordinance (NBMC Chapter 10.28) and is restricted to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturdays. This restriction will substantially reduce noise impacts to residential areas. In addition, Mitigation Measure No. 1 provides that a 60 -foot buffer zone (with a 75 -foot buffer zone at specified mausoleum locations) shall be maintained along the eastern property line, with no burial sites or walkways permitted within this zone. A 150 -foot minimum setback is proposed between the future loop road extension and the eastern property line in Area 12. B Level of sincance Compliance with the existing Noise Ordinance and the proposed design restrictions would reduce potential impacts to a level that is not significant. XL Public Services Public or governmental services would not be affected by the proposed project. The project would have no substantial effect on demand for public services, including fire police, schools, roads, or other services and facilities. PwificVtmK4mnmdPwk mind U* Pap 9 2a5 W No mitigation is required. C. Level of si ificance No significant impacts would be expected. II IL Utilities & Service Systems A. Potential unp M The site is adequately served by existing utilities and no significant alteration or expansion of existing utility systems is anticipated. B. Mh ation No mitigation is required. C. Level of si Oggnce No significant impacts would be expected. XUL Aesthetics/Light and Glare A Potential impacts The project is located adjacent to residential neighborhoods that have prominent views of the ocean and Newport Bay. New structures or landscaping located near the northern and eastern property lines could adversely affect these private views. No views from scenic highways or public areas would be affected by the project. If construction sites and landscaping are not maintained in a neat and orderly fashion, adverse aesthetic impacts to adjacent residential areas could result.

Box 1768 Newport Beach, CA 92658 -8915 (949) 6443200 NEGATIVE DECLARATION INTRODUCTION This Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental. Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970 and its applicable Guidelines, as amended. It is an informational document prepared to inform the. decision- makers and the general public of the potential environmental effects associated with the proposed project. The City of Newport Beach will use this Negative Declaration in its decision- making process on the proposed project. The conclusion of this Negative Declaration is that the proposed action would not generate any significant direct or primary physical impacts on the environment. PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION Pack View Memorial Park is located at 3500 Pacific View Drive in the City of Newport Beach, Orange County, California. The 45 -acre site is bounded by residential uses to the north and east, San Joaquin Hills Road to the south and Big Canyon Reservoir and Harbor Day School to the west. Pack View Memorial Park proposes to amend Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95 -26 for future development within Area 8, including Building Site H. The property is zoned for Governmental, Educational, and Institutional Facilities (GEIF); an approved Use Permit is required for cemeteries, mausolea and other structures housing crypts. The Development Agreement establishes the allowed future development and the conditions within the Park. Use Permit No. 3518and Development Agreement No. 95 -26 would be amended to reflect the following proposed modifications: the classification of Area 8 would be corrected to be consistent with its undeveloped condition; future development within Area 8 would consist of estate gardens with ground burial similar to the gardens in Area 1 and up to nine (9) family mausolea in Building Site H in lieu of a 7,200 square foot (60'x 120') community mausoleum; and the footprint of Building Site H, which is within Area 8, would be altered to accommodate these family mausolea. The proposed amendment to the Use Permit and Development Agreement would also set the maximum allowable size of family mausoleum structures at 22'x 17' x 17' high, within Building Site H only. Additional landscaping around each structure to integrate and buffer each from surrounding views is also proposed. Mitigation measures were incorporated into the Initial Study and Negative Declaration adopted for General Plan Amendment 94 -1(f) on June 12, 1995 (City Council Resolution No. 95 -73). Those measures which are applicable to this project have been considered as part of the analysis. Initial Study/ Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95.26 Page 1 FINDINGS AND BASIS FOR A NEGATIVE DECLARATION The Planning Department has reviewed the Initial Study for the project and finds the following: • The project will not significantly degrade the aesthetic quality of the area. • The project will not generate significantly adverse effects on water or air quality, or increase noise levels substantially. • The project will not have any significant adverse impacts on the biological resources of the area. • The project will not have any significant adverse impacts on traffic, land use, or public services and infrastructure. • In addition, the project will not: • Create impacts that have the potential to significantly degrade the quality of the environment. • Create significant impacts that achieve short -term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long -term environmental goals. • Create impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable to a significant degree. • Create environmental effects that will cause significant adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Therefore, it may be determined that the potential environmental impact of the project will be less than significant. INITIAL STUDY A copy of the Initial Study on which the findings for a Negative Declaration have been based is attached. REVIEW PERIOD The review period is from April 6, 2007 through April 26, 2007. The City of Newport Beach Planning Department, $300 Newport Boulevard, PO Box 1768, Newport Beach, California 92658 -8915, must receive all written comments regarding this Negative Declaration by April 26, 2007, no later than 5:00 PM.

Description of Project: Pacific View Memorial Park desires to amend Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95 -26 for future development within Area 8, including Building Site H. In the GEIF zone an approved Use Permit is required for cemeteries, mausolea and other structures housing crypts. The Development Agreement establishes the allowed future development and the conditions within the Park. The project consists of the following: Amendment to Use Permit No. 3518, and Amendment to Development Agreement No. 95 -26. Initial Study / Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95 -26 Page 3 Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95 -26 would be amended to reflect the proposed modifications. Specifically, the classification of Area 8 would be corrected to be consistent with its undeveloped condition. Future development within Area 8 would consist of estate gardens with ground burial similar to the gardens in Area 1 and up to nine (9) family mausolea in Building Site H in lieu of a 7,200 square foot (60' x 120') community mausoleum. The footprint of Building Site H, which is within Area 8, would be altered to accommodate these family mausolea. The proposed amendments to the Use Permit and Development Agreement would set the maximum allowable size of family mausoleum structures at 22' x 17' x 17' high, within Building Site H only. The plan includes landscape around each structure to integrate and buffer each from surrounding views (see Figures 2 through 6, Photo View Point Key Map and Existing Photos and Figure 7, Building Site H Family Mausoleum Detailed Site Plan). Mitigation measures were incorporated into the Initial Study and Negative Declaration adopted for General Plan Amendment 94 -1(f) on June 12, 1995 (City Council Resolution No. 95 -73)..

Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? Less than Significant Impact. Pacific View Memorial Park is located within a developed area within the City of Newport Beach. Public views of the site are generally limited to the vantage point at the park entrance at 3500 Pacific View Drive. Single- family residences to the north, east and southeast have private views of the park. Short Term: Visual impacts associated with construction of the estate gardens and terraces for the family mausolea, as well as installation of the mausoleum structures, are considered short term and temporary in nature. Heavy equipment would be used during grading activities and for assembly of the mausoleum structures. Twenty-four (24), fifteen gallon trees will be planted on the slope around the nine mausolea within in one (1) year of the effective date of the amended development agreement, or before construction of the first mausoleum structure, whichever comes first, to provide adequate screening and reduce visual impacts to the residences. Shrubs and groundcover will be planted with each structure. Family mausoleum structures are typically prefabricated so the onsite work is primarily assembly. In comparison, the estimated construction time for a community mausoleum such as is approved now would be nine (9) months. Mitigation Measure No. 3 — Temporary Screening from the 1995 Negative Declaration would apply: All construction sites shall be screened from view from adjacent residential areas for the duration of construction activities. Prior to issuance of any grading or building permit the Planning Department shall verb that appropriate screening requirements have been provided on the construction plans. The short term visual impacts associated with the proposed modifications are less than the short term impacts expected for the development currently allowed with the approved Development Plan and Use Permit. Construction activities would primarily consist of grading, building estate garden walls and retaining walls for the family mausoleum terraces, and landscaping. Therefore, the proposed project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista in the short-term. Long Term: The single - family residences adjacent to the memorial park along the north, east and southeast property lines have private views of the park. The proposed family mausolea would be located a minimum of 190 feet from the southeast property line and 380 feet from the easterly property line. The finish floor elevation of the structures would be approximately 80 feet below the nearest residence to the southeast and approximately 70 feet below the easterly residences. The structures would also be approximately 20 feet Initial Study! Negative Declaration Pacific Yew Memorial Paris — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-28 Page 20 below the 430 foot (mean sea level) height limitation line so as to continue to preserve night light, water and mountain views for existing residences. They also would comply with the 28/32 foot height limitation. The Use Permit currently allows for a 7,200 square foot maximum (60' x 120') community mausoleum with a maximum building height of 24 -feet. The maximum allowable size of the proposed family mausoleum structures would be 22'xl7'xl7' high (see Figure 8, Family Mausolea and Figure 9, Community Mausoleum). The total combined building floor area of the family mausoleum structures would be 3,366 square feet, which would be a portion of the maximum 12,000 square feet of family mausoleum space approved for the park. The proposed amendments would result in no change to the maximum square footage allowed for family mausolea and a reduction of 7,200 square feet of community mausoleum space from the maximum 121,680 square feet of community mausoleum space approved for the park. The spacing of the family mausolea within Building Site H allows for landscaping around each structure to integrate and buffer each from surrounding views. Mitigation Measure No. 4 — Mausoleum Design from the 1445 Negative Declaration would apply: All roofs, eves, and facias of new garden crypts and community mausolea shall be constructed of material, color texture, thickness, and pitch to blend with the architectural style of the original structures of the park Any blank walls shall be bermed or covered with plant material so as to soften the appearance from adjoining residential areas. Marble fronts and sides and mausolea shall be screened by the generous use of the roof and tree canopies. The proposed project would result in reduced building mass, lower maximum roof height, and landscaping surrounding the structures and unifying the family mausoleum area. The long term visual impacts associated with the proposed future development are less than the long term impacts expected for the development currently allowed (community mausoleum). The proposed project would not result in a substantial adverse long -term effect on a scenic vista. b. ,Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? No Impact. The proposed project site is not located near a state scenic highway as identified by the California Scenic Highway Program (www.dot.ca.eov, accessed on February 22, 2007). Initial Study / Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 85,26 Page 21 C. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? Less than Significant Impact. Pacific View Memorial Park is bounded by the Big Canyon Reservoir and Harbor Day School to the west and by single - family residential to the north, east, southeast and across San Joaquin Hills Road to the south. The proposed project would modify the development allowed within Area 8, a two -acre undeveloped area in the southeast portion of the park. Visual impacts associated with construction of the estate gardens and family mausoleum terraces are considered short-term and temporary in nature. Heavy equipment would be staged occasionally onsite, particularly during grading activities; as noted above, Mitigation Measure No. 3 would apply. Since these impacts are short-term in nature and would not be present following completion of construction, they are considered to have a less than significant impact on the visual character of the site and surrounding area. On a long term basis, the proposed project allows future development which would introduce a change in the visual appearance of the site. Area 8 is currently undeveloped, while the surrounding areas within the park are developed and landscaped. The development proposed for Area 8, including estate gardens and family mausolea, is similar to the uses in adjacent Area 1 and Building Site D. The proposed project would reduce the density and overall building mass from the approved community mausoleum structure. The proposed project would be consistent with other uses in that area of the park and would not substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings. Impacts would be less than significant. d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? No Impact. The development which would be allowed under the proposed project does not include lighting; therefore, no impacts would occur. II. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES - Would the project: a. Convert (Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non - agricultural use? No Impact. No agricultural resources are located within the Pacific View Memorial Park. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in development which would convert farmland to non - agricultural use. No impact would occur. Initial Study/ Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-28 Page 22 b. Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? No Impact. The Pacific View Memorial Park is neither zoned for agricultural use nor part of a Williamson Act contract; therefore, no conflicts would occur. C. Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non - agricultural use? No Impact. See Responses II. (a) and (b) above. The project would not involve the conversion of agricultural resources to non - agricultural resources; therefore, impacts would not occur. Ill. AIR QUALITY - Would the project: a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? Less than Significant Impact. The proposed project would allow development of estate gardens and family mausolea. This type of development is not expected to conflict with or obstruct implementation of any applicable air quality plan. Short term construction- related air quality impacts will be less than significant by utilizing standard best management practices such as watering excavated soil, as described in AQMD's Rule 403 regarding fugitive dust. b. Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation? Less than Significant Impact. The proposed project would allow development which is anticipated to cause minor short-term construction related emissions due to grading activities. Although grading activities may be similar for the approved community mausoleum and proposed development, the impacts associated with construction of the structures vary significantly. The family mausoleum structures are mostly prefabricated and only assembled on site, whereas construction of a community mausoleum is estimated to take nine months. Impacts of the proposed project would be less than significant by utilizing standard best management practices as outlined in AQMD's Rule 403 regarding fugitive dust. C. Result in cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non - attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? Initial Study / Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95.26 Page 23 Less than Significant Impact. See Response III (a) and III (b) above. d. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less than Significant Impact. There are residential uses adjacent to Pacific View Memorial Park and Harbor Day School is adjacent to the west. Both residential land uses and schools are considered sensitive receptors. The proposed project would allow development which only requires short-term grading activities and structure installation. The potential to expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations would be less than significant. e. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? Less than Significant Impact. Grading activities for the development allowed by the proposed project could generate odor associated with vehicle emissions from the operation of construction equipment; this may be considered objectionable by some people. However, such exposure would be short term or transient. Operations following development would be similar to the existing memorial park and would not create objectionable odors. Therefore, the proposed project would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people and impacts would be considered less than significant. IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES - Would the project: a. Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? No Impact. Due to the highly developed and disturbed nature of the site and lack of native habitat, it is not anticipated that sensitive plant or animal species would occur within Pacific View Memorial Park. With the exception of minor undeveloped areas, the park is covered by landscaping. The undeveloped areas have some existing trees; the areas are mowed to control non - native annual grasses. No significant native vegetation or wildlife habitat is present. Therefore, development allowed under the proposed project would not impact any species identified in local or regional plans and/or policies. Initial Study/ Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-28 Page 24 b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? No Impact. The Pacific View Memorial Park site is fully disturbed and located within an area bounded by residential and institutional uses. No riparian habitats, federally protected wetlands or other sensitive habitats are known to be located within or adjacent to the park site. Therefore, impacts would not occur. c- Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? No Impact. Area 8 within Pacific View Memorial Park has been slightly graded and does not include any wetlands or jurisdictional waters. In addition, construction for the allowed development would not involve dredging or filling of wetlands. Therefore, there would be no impact. d. Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impeded the use of native wildlife nursery sites? No Impact. Land uses bounding the project site consist of developed lands with both residential and institutional uses. The Big Canyon Reservoir is lined and not providing habitat. Pacific View Memorial Park is not known to be located within a habitat corridor. Therefore, impacts would not occur. e. Conflict with any local policies or ordinance protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? Less than Significant Impact. Future development which would be allowed under the proposed project would be located within Area 8. This area is currently undeveloped and consists of a small amount of existing vegetation such as non - native annual grasses and groupings of trees including fan palms, California peppers and pine trees. There are approximately 40 trees along the lower two- thirds of Area 8. The primary grouping of existing trees is located directly above Building Site `H' and will be preserved. The proposed development plan provides for the addition of twenty four (24), fifteen gallon trees on the slope around the nine structures. Therefore, the impacts would be less than significant. Initial Study! Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-28 Page 25 f. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? No Impact. There are three subregional plans for the Orange County area: Orange County Central- Coastal NCCP Subregional Plan (approved in July 1996), Orange County Northern Subregion Habitat Conservation Plan (in planning phase) and Orange County Southern Subregion Habitat Conservation Plan (approved in late 2006). Pacific View Memorial Park is not located within any of the three subregional plans for Orange County. Therefore, no impacts would occur. V. CULTURAL RESOURCES - Would the project: a. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section IS064.S? No Impact. According to the California State Registry of Historic Landmarks a=: / /ceres.ca.gov /eeo area /counties /OranQe/landmarks.html accessed on February 16, 2007) there are no registered historic landmarks located within the Pacific View Memorial Park. The proposed project is not anticipated to result in impacts to any historical resources. b. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section IS064.S? Less than Significant Impact. An archaeological or paleontological survey has not been. conducted on the site. The site has been graded and disturbed over the 50 years of operation as a cemetery and it is unlikely that potential historical, cultural or religious impacts will occur as a result of this project. If any inadvertent discoveries of historic or prehistoric cultural resources are found onsite, a licensed Archeologist and Paleontologist can be made available for monitoring during grading. Mitigation Measure No. 7 — Archeological and Paleontological Resources from the 1995 Negative Declaration would apply: Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall demonstrate to the Planning Department that the project will comply with Council Policies K -4 and K -5 regarding archeological and paleontological resource investigation, surveillance, and recovery. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. Initial Study! Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-26 Page 26 C. Directly or indirectly damage or destroy a paleontological resource without first being subject to proper scientific analysis. See Response V. (b) above. d. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside offormal cemeteries? No Impact. The proposed project modifies the type of future development which would be allowed in Area 8. Area 8 is located in an area which has not been used for internment and disturbance of human remains is highly unlikely. Therefore, no impacts would occur. VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS - Would the project: a. Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death involving: i. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist- Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. Less than Significant Impact. Pacific View Memorial Park is located within seismically active southern California, an area where several faults and fault zones are considered active by the California Division of Mines and Geology. Alquist- Priolo earthquake fault zones have been established for the majority of these faults and fault zones. The purpose of the Alquist - Priolo earthquake fault zones is to prohibit the location of structures on the traces of active faults, thereby mitigating potential damage due to fault surface rupture. The City of Newport Beach is located in the northern part of the Peninsular Ranges Province, an area that is exposed to risk from multiple earthquake fault zones. The highest risks originate from the Newport- Inglewood fault zone, the Whittier fault zone, the San Joaquin Hills fault zone, and the Elysian Park fault zone, each with the potential to cause moderate to large earthquakes that would cause ground shaking in Newport Beach and nearby communities (City of Newport Beach, General Plan, Safety Element, July 25, 2006). However, the project site does not lie within a currently delineated State of California, Alquist - Priolo earthquake fault zone and an active fault rupture is unlikely to occur at the project site (Department of Mines and Geology hM://www.conservation.ca.gov/cgslrghni/ai)/index.htm accessed February 19, 2007). Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. Initial Study / Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Pemnt No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-26 Page 27 u. Strong seismic ground shaking? Less than Significant Impact. As stated in Response VI (a) (i) above, a certain level of exposure to seismic ground shaking has the potential of occurring within seismically active southern California. On a regional scale, the City of Newport lies within a zone of moderate to large earthquake activity. The City's General Plan incorporates policies which should be implemented for the project to ensure development meets seismic design standards. As indicated in the City's General Plan Safety Element (chapter 11), the City would require all future development to be made safer by strict enforcement of current building standards and new development to be located so as to avoid the most hazardous areas. As a result, potential impacts related to strong seismic ground shaking would be less than significant. Seismic - related ground failure, including liquefaction? Less than Significant Impact. The potential for liquefaction in a given area is dependent upon soil characteristics, groundwater conditions, and the intensity of seismic shaking. Areas susceptible to liquefaction include areas with loose to medium dense sandy soils that have become saturated. In the Newport Beach area, the potential for liquefaction is greatest in the areas along the coastline that includes Balboa Peninsula, in and around the Newport Bay and Upper Newport Bay, in the lower reaches of major streams in Newport Beach, and in the floodplain of the Santa Ana River (City of Newport Beach, General Plan, Safety Element, and July 25, 2006). Pacific View Memorial Park is not located within any of these areas. Therefore, the likelihood of liquefaction to occur as a result of a seismic event is considered unlikely and impacts would be less than significant. iv. Landslides? Less than Significant Impact. Landslide hazard areas are generally considered to exist when substantial slopes are located on or immediately adjacent to a subject property. The existing topography consists of a gradual slope averaging 5:1. The proposed development to be allowed within Area 8 will provide terraced pads at various elevations for the family mausolea. The terraced area will be retained along the front with low walls and with a 2:1 engineered slope along the back (Environmental Information Form). This area and areas immediately offsite have not been identified as an existing or past landslide area, therefore, impacts as a. result of this geologic hazard would be less than significant. Initial Study ! Negative Dedaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 9526 Page 28 b. Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Less than Significant Impact. The existing topography consists of a gradual slope averaging 5:1. The proposed development to be allowed within Area 8 will provide terraces at various elevations for the family mausolea. The terraced area will be retained along the front with low walls with a 2:1 engineered slope along the back. The terraces are estimated to result in approximately 1,400 cubic yards of cut and 800 cubic yards of fill. Per the Environmental Information Form submitted by the applicant, the excess soil will be balanced onsite at various undeveloped locations within the cemetery. Short-term erosion effects during construction would be prevented through implementation of drainage and planting solutions, which is required by the City of Newport Beach during plan review and approval of project improvement plans (City of Newport Beach Municipal Code 15.10.130 Erosion Control). The municipal code includes standard construction methods such as temporary erosion control to minimize soil erosion during construction. Future development would include estate gardens and family mausoleum structures with surrounding landscaping; therefore, soil erosion is not anticipated to be an issue dining construction or after development. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. C. Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse? No Impact. There are no known unstable geologic units located on the project site or within the surrounding area (see Responses VI (a) and (b), above). Subsidence has not been documented on the site in the past. The onsite surface soils do not present geologic hazards to construction. Furthermore, there is no known incidence of landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse at or near the project site; therefore no impact would occur. d. Be located on expansive soils, as defined in Table 18 - 1 -B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or properly? Less than Significant Impact. Expansive soils are characterized by a shrink -swell characteristic. Structural damage may result over a long period of time, usually resulting from inadequate soil and foundation engineering or the placement of structures directly on expansive soils. Expansive soils are largely comprised of clays, which expand in volume when water is absorbed and shrink when dried. Some of the geologic units in the Newport Beach area, including both surficial soils and bedrock, have fine- grained components that are moderate to highly expansive. All development allowed under the Initial Study / Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Developmerit Agreement No. 95-26 Page 29 proposed amendments to the Development Agreement and Use Permit will comply with the Uniform Building Code for all structural engineering. Therefore, impacts due to expansive soils will be less than significant. e. Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or aUernative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater? No impact. The estate gardens and family mausolea allowed under the proposed project would not require wastewater facilities. Pacific View Memorial Park is connected to the municipal sewer system, and the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems is not necessary. VII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS - Would the project: a. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? No Impact. The development allowed under the proposed project would not involve the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. Therefore, there will be no impact. b. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? No Impact. Future development of estate gardens and family mausolea within Area 8 will not create any significant hazards to the public through the release of hazardous materials into the environment. No impact is expected. C. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one - quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? Less than Significant Impact. Pacific View Memorial Park is adjacent to the Harbor Day School. During construction activities, the owner would be required to comply with all federal, state, and local laws regulating the management and use of hazardous materials. Once operational no hazardous materials are anticipated beyond those used for maintenance. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. Initial Study! Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3678 and Development Agreement No. 86-26 Page 30 d. Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? Less than Significant Impact. Pacific View Memorial Park is not known to be a listed hazardous materials site. Some hazardous materials are kept on site, such as formaldehyde, cleaning materials, and fuel for the equipment. However, the quantities are limited and Pacific View Memorial Park is required to adhere to local and State regulations regarding storage and use of these materials. Therefore, the impacts of the proposed project are less than significant. e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? No Impact. John Wayne Airport, the closest air facility, is located 5.26 miles north of Pacific View Memorial Park. The proposed project will not result in development which would interfere with airport operations or pose an airport safety hazard. Therefore, no impacts would occur. f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? No Impact Pacific View Memorial Park is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip, and the proposed project would not result in development which would impact this type of facility or its associated employees. g. Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? No Impact. The proposed project would allow development of estate gardens and family mausolea in Area 8. Construction and operations of this type of development would not impact evacuation or emergency response plans /times in the surrounding area. Therefore, no impacts would occur. It. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland foes, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? No Impact Pacific View Memorial Park is located within a developed area, surrounded by residential and institutional uses. The site is not located in or adjacent to a designated Initial Study / Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park— Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. W26 Page 31 "wildland fire danger zone" (City of Newport Beach General Plan, Figure S4 Wildfire Hazards, July 25, 2006). There are no wildland areas within the vicinity which would create a potential fire hazard at the subject property. Therefore, no impact would occur. Vlll. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY -Would the project: a. Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? Less than Significant Impact. During grading activities for future development, there would be a potential for short-tern erosion and discharge of pollutants, especially during times of inclement weather. Construction activity would be required to comply with all City of Newport Beach and State regulations related to water quality, including (1) the permit for Discharge of Stormwater Associated with Construction Activity and (2) Best Management Practices (BMPs) to filter, treat, or infiltrate stormwater runoff in accordance with specific design standards. Per the Environmental Information Form submitted by the applicant, a Stormwater Management Plan will be implemented that meets or exceeds the BMPs from development of the proposed project. Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur. b. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with ground water recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local ground water table level (i e., the production rate of pre - existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? Less than Significant Impact. The development allowed under the proposed project would increase the amount of impervious surface as compared to existing conditions, but it would substantially reduce the roof surface area as compared to the approved community mausoleum. This would allow for more stormwater infiltration. The proposed project would not result in development which would substantially alter any groundwater recharge that is currently occurring onsite. Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur. C. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on or offsite? No Impact. The majority of Pacific View Memorial Park is already developed. The development allowed under the proposed project would incorporate drainage facilities in accordance with the City's development standards to avoid substantial erosion or siltation. Therefore, no impacts would occur. Initial Study/ Negative Declaration Pacific View Wkmorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-26 Page 32 d. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the flow rate or amount (volume) of surface runoff j`in a manner, which would result in flooding on- or off-site? Less than Significant Impact. The proposed site design for Area 8 maximizes the distance water travels from paved surfaces over landscape areas to drains in order to aid in infiltration. The irrigation system will use efficient irrigation components such as low flow irrigation heads, drip irrigation, moisture sensors, and weather based irrigation control systems to provide optimum moisture application. Therefore, changes in the existing drainage pattern of the site will be minimal and impacts would be less than significant. e. Create or contribute runoff` water, which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? Less than Significant Impact. Refer to Responses VIII (c) and (d) above. Future development of estate gardens and family mausolea would not contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff; therefore impacts to existing stormwater conveyance systems would be less than significant. f. Otherwise substantially degrade water quality (marine, surface, ,groundwater or wetland waters)? Less than Significant Impact. Refer to Responses VIII (a) through (e) above g. Place housing within a 100 -year flood hazard area as mapped on a Federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood delineation map? Less than Significant Impact. The proposed project does not include housing. Pacific View Memorial Park gently slopes downward to the Big Canyon Reservoir. Based on Figure S3 Flood Hazards of the City's General Plan, the Big Canyon Reservoir is depicted as a "Special Flood Hazard Areas Inundated by 100 -year Flood" zone. Since the cemetery does not lie within a currently delineated earthquake fault zone, the likelihood of a seismically induced inundation to occur which may cause a flood to the project site is unlikely to occur. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. Initial Study / Negative Dedaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95.213 Page 33 h. Place within 100 year flood hazard area structures, which would impede or redirect flood flows? Less than Significant. Refer to Response VIII (g) above. i. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? No Impact. The project site is not located within the vicinity of an existing levee or dam, and no portion of the project would involve the construction of a levee or dam. Therefore, no impact would occur. j. Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? Less than Significant Impact. Big Canyon Reservoir is adjacent to the westerly edge of Pacific View Memorial Park. The reservoir may potentially threaten low -lying areas of the park by flooding due to seismically induced inundation, which refers to flooding that results when water retention structures fail due to an earthquake (City of Newport Beach General Plan Update, Safety Element, July 25, 2006). However, since the park does not lie within a currently delineated earthquake fault zone, the likelihood of a seismically induced inundation to occur which may cause a flood to the park is unlikely to occur. Furthermore, the reservoir is lined and surrounded by a berm and no surface runoff or subsurface flows can enter the reservoir (Park View Memorial Park Initial Study, March 20, 1995). Therefore, the likelihood of impacts from a seiche, tsunami, or mudflow would not be likely and impacts would be less than significant. k. Result in significant alteration of receiving water quality during or following construction? No Impact. Due to the use of BMPs during construction and operations as noted above, future development allowed under the proposed project is not anticipated to result in alterations to receiving water quality. Therefore, no impacts would occur. 1. Result in a potential for discharge of stormwater pollutants from areas of material storage, vehicle or equipment fueling, vehicle or equipment maintenance (including washing), waste handling, hazardous materials handling or storage, delivery areas, loading docks or other outdoor work areas? Less than Significant Impact. During the associated grading and/or construction activities, there would be a potential for short-term erosion and minimal discharge of Initial Study/ Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-26 Page 34 pollutants, especially during times of inclement weather. The proposed project provides for modifications to the development allowed within Area 8 and does not include areas to be used for operational material storage, vehicle or equipment fueling, maintenance or handling or storage. During construction, the project would be required to comply with all City of Newport Beach and State regulations related to water quality, including (1) the permit for Discharge of Stormwater Associated with Construction Activity and (2) Best Management Practices (BMPs) to filter, treat, or infiltrate stormwater runoff in accordance with specific design standards. A Stormwater Management Plan will be implemented that meets or exceeds the BMPs from development of the proposed project (Environmental Information Form). Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur. m. Result in the potential for discharge of stormwater to affect the beneficial uses of the receiving waters? No Impact. Due to mandatory stormwater regulatory compliance and the use of BMPs during construction and operations as noted above, future development allowed under the proposed project is not anticipated to result in stormwater discharge which would affect the beneficial uses of receiving waters. Therefore, no impacts would occur. n. Create the potential for significant changes in the flow velocity or volume of stormwater runoff to cause environmental harm? Less than Significant Impact. The proposed site development plan for Area 8 is primarily pervious surface except for handscape and the family mausoleum structures. The site plan maximizes the distance stormwater travels from paved surfaces over landscape areas to drains in order to aid in infiltration. Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur. o. Create significant increases in erosion of the project site or surrounding areas? Less than Significant Impact. During the associated grading activities, there would be a potential for short-term erosion and discharge of pollutants, especially during times of inclement weather. The project would be required to comply with all City of Newport Beach and State regulations related to water quality, including (1) the permit for Discharge of Stormwater Associated with Construction Activity and (2) Best Management Practices (BMPs) to filter, treat, or infiltrate stormwater runoff in accordance with specific design standards. Per the Environmental Information Form submitted by the applicant, a Stormwater Management Plan will be implemented that Initial Study/ Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. W26 Page 35 meets or exceeds the BMPs from development of the proposed project. Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur. IX. LAND USE AND PLANNING - Would the project: a. Physically divide an established community? No Impact. The proposed project modifies the development allowed within Area 8 and is consistent with existing uses within the memorial park. It would not result in the need for additional roadways. The existing park entrance will continue to be the point of ingress/egress and the existing roadway alignment and/or land use patterns will not need to be modified. Therefore, project implementation would not physically divide an established community. b. Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including but not limited to the general plan, specific Plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? No Impact. The Pacific View Memorial Park site is designated as Private Institution within the City of Newport Beach General Plan (Chapter 3 Land Use Element) and zoned Governmental, Educational and Institutional Facilities (GEIF) within the City of Newport Beach Zoning Code (City of Newport Beach Zoning Code, 2006). The project is consistent with these designations. Cemetery uses are allowed under each designation. The proposed project is therefore consistent with both the zoning criteria and General Plan Land Use. There would be no conflict with applicable land use plans, policies or regulations. C. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? No Impact. Refer to Response IV (f). X. MINERAL RESOURCES - Would the project: a. Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? No Impact. There is no active mining within the Newport Beach area. Mineral resource zones (MRZ) within the City are either classified as containing no significant mineral deposits (MRZ -1), or the significance of mineral deposits has not been determined (MRZ- Initial Study / Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3516 and Development Agreement No. 95-26 Page 36 3) (City of Newport Beach General Plan; Natural Resources Element, July 25, 2006). Therefore, the proposed project would not result in the loss of a known mineral resource. b. Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? No Impact. See Response X (a) above. XI. NOISE: Would the project result in: a. Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance or applicable standards of other agencies? Less than Significant Impact. Increased noise which would be generated by the proposed project would be due to construction activities. Construction activity is regulated per Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 10.28.040. Construction will be required to conform to the City's noise standards and to the permitted construction hours of 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM on weekdays and 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturdays, excluding holidays. The estate gardens and terraces for the family mausolea would be constructed initially, with, the family mausolea installed individually over time, based on family needs. It is anticipated that the development allowed under the proposed project will not have a significant construction noise impact since it will incorporate all available noise attenuating technology (i.e., mufflers, shields,: etc.) in order to reduce construction noise level to the maximum extent feasible. The nearest residences would be subject to increases in noise as a result of construction. Because construction noise is considered temporary and would adhere to local noise regulations, the temporary increase in ambient noise levels would be less than significant. b. Exposure of . persons to or generation of excessive groundbourne vibration or groundbourne noise levels? Less than Significant Impact. Heavy equipment used during grading and construction activities may generate some ground vibration. However, the associated grading activity would be short-term in nature and not involve jack hammering or blasting. While it is possible that temporary vibration would be heard/felt by nearby neighbors during construction, any impact would be short term and minimal, therefore, impacts would be less than significant. Inifial Study! Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-26 Page 37 C. A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? Less than Significant Impact. Refer to Responses XI (a) and (b) above. d. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? Less than Significant Impact. Refer to Responses XI (a) and (b). The proposed project would allow estate gardens and family mausolea within Area 8, similar in nature to other areas in the park. As stated above, noise generated by construction equipment would occur with varying intensities and durations during construction. The closest residences to the project site are located to the southeast and would be exposed to some increased noise levels during construction. It is anticipated that the development allowed under the proposed project will not have a significant construction noise impact since it will incorporate all available noise attenuating technology (i.e., mufflers, shields, etc.) in order to reduce construction noise level to the maximum extent feasible. It is anticipated that any ceremonies held at the family mausolea would be conducted in accordance with the current procedures of Pacific View Memorial Park. Ambient noise levels may increase slightly due to instrumental music or the number of people gathered. However, the ceremonies would be conducted on the west side of the family mausoleum and the noise would be buffered by the structures and landscaping. Any impact, whether from construction or ceremonies, would be short term in nature. Impacts due to an increase in temporary or periodic ambient noise levels would be less than significant. e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? No Impact. The project site is located approximately 5.26 miles from the John Wayne Airport and is not located within an airport land use plan area. Therefore, no impacts would occur. f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? No Impact. Refer to Response XI (e). Initial Study/ Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-26 Page 38 XII. POPULATION AND HOUSING - Would the project: a. Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes or businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? No Impact. The proposed project would modify the development allowed within Area 8. The estate gardens and family mausolea would not induce substantial population growth in the area. Therefore, no impacts would occur. b. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? No Impact. Development allowed under the proposed project would be limited to area within the boundaries of Pacific View Memorial Park. No existing housing would be displaced and no impact would occur. C. Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? No Impact. See Response XII (b) above. XIII. PUBLIC SERVICES - Would the project: a. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered government facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the following public services: i. Fire protection? No Impact. Future development allowed under the proposed project would not create a long term fire hazard; therefore the need for increased fire protection would not occur. fl. PolicelSheriffprotection? No Impact. The nature of the project would not warrant police intervention; therefore an increase in local police protection would not occur. Initial Study / Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-26 Page 39 Schools? No Impact. The project does not propose the development of homes and would not induce substantial growth in the area. Therefore, a demand on nearby schools would not occur. iv. Parks? No Impact The proposed project would not have any effect upon area parks. V. Other public facilities? No Impact. As discussed above, the proposed project would not generate population growth, and therefore would not place new demand on public facilities. Therefore, no impacts would occur. XIV. RECREATION -Would the project: a. Increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? No Impact. The project does not involve a housing component that would result in the need for additional park services or increased use of existing parks. Therefore, no impacts would occur. b. Propose recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? No Impact The project does not propose recreational facilities or require new recreational facilities. Therefore, no impacts related to this issue would occur. XV. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC -Would the project: a. Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (ie., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? Initial Study/ Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park— Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-26 Page 40 Less than Significant Impact. In order to describe the proposed project's potential impact related to increase in traffic, discussions related to construction (short term) and operation (long term) are provided. Short Term — Construction trucks would access the site during approved construction hours from 7:00 AM. to 6:30 PM on weekdays, excluding holidays and 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturdays. Construction activities associated with the proposed project would generate additional traffic on the regional and local roadways serving the area. Construction worker commuter trips, project equipment deliveries, and hauling materials such as concrete and gravel would increase the existing traffic volumes in the project area. The proposed project has approximately 1,400 cubic yards of cut and 800 cubic yards of fill. The excess soil will be balanced on site at various undeveloped locations within the cemetery. The anticipated construction - related traffic could potentially impact traffic volumes and may change traffic patterns such as to affect the level of service on nearby roadways. However, these impacts would only occur during grading and construction of the terraces. The family mausolea would be installed individually over time based on family needs. The proposed project would result in lesser traffic- related impacts than construction of the allowed community mausoleum which has an estimated construction period of nine months. A substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, volume to capacity ratios on roads, or congestion at intersections is not anticipated as a result of the proposed project and impacts would be considered less than significant. Long Term — The proposed project would generate additional traffic on local roadways during funeral ceremonies, which would not be expected to increase substantially in frequency or size over current conditions. The proposed project is anticipated to provide 140 casket spaces rather than the 1,200 casket spaces within the approved community mausoleum. This would significantly reduce the number of ceremonies and neighboring street congestion over the development which is currently approved. Furthermore, cemetery and mausoleum uses do not generate consistent or predictable traffic volumes (City of Newport Beach General Plan, Land Use Element pg. 90, July 2006). Therefore, long term traffic impacts as a result of the project would be less than significant. b. Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the County Congestion Management Agency for designated roads or highways? Less than Significant Impact. See Response XV (a) above. C. Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? Initial Study 1 Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and DeveloPment Agreement No. 95-25 Page 41 No Impact. Development allowed under the amendments to the Development Agreement and Use Permit would not impede existing air traffic navigational patterns or cause a change in the location of existing airport facilities at the John Wayne Airport. d. Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? No Impact. The proposed project modifies the development allowed within Area 8. This would not increase hazards or incompatible uses and no impact would occur. e. Result in inadequate emergency access? Less than Significant Impact. The primary vehicular access for Pacific View Memorial Park is provided from Pacific View Drive. The primary entrance has been designed to provide adequate access for emergency services vehicles as well (fire, police and paramedic). Development allowed under the proposed project would not result in any modifications to this roadway; therefore impacts to emergency access would not be altered. Due to the short -term nature of construction, any street usage and equipment parking that may occur would be temporary and impacts would be less than significant. f. Result in inadequate parking capacity? No Impact. The proposed project will include sufficient onsite parking spaces provided per City Off-Street Parking and Loading Spaces Requirements (Ordinance 20.66.030) and the approved Use Permit. Therefore, the proposed site plan accommodates adequate parking and no impacts would occur. g. Conflict with adopted policies, plans or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? No Impact. Pacific View Memorial Park is not currently served by or located in an area conducive to public transportation. No conflict with adopted policies, plans or programs supporting alternative transportation are anticipated. Initial Study/ Negative Declaration Pacific Yew Memorial Park — Amendments re Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-26 Page 42 XVI UTILITIES AND SERVICES SYSTEMS - Would the project: a. Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? No Impact. Development allowed under the amendments to the Development Agreement and Use Permit would not result in additional needs for wastewater treatment. Therefore, no impacts would occur. b. Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which would cause significant environmental effects? No Impact The proposed project modifies the development within Area 8 to include estate gardens and family mausolea. These uses would not require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities. No impacts would occur. C. Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? No Impact The proposed project modifies the development within Area 8 to include estate gardens and .family mausolea. The existing drainage system for the park will accommodate drainage from Area 8 as it is developed. No impacts would occur. d. Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? No Impact. Pacific View Memorial Park is adequately served by existing utilities and no significant alteration or expansion of existing utility systems is anticipated. Therefore, no impacts would occur. e. Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? No Impact The proposed project modifies the development within Area 8 to include estate gardens and family mausolea. These uses will not generate additional wastewater and there would be no impact on wastewater treatment capacity. Initial Study / Negative Declaration Pacft View Memorial Park— Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and Development Agreement No. 95-28 Page 43 £ Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? Less than Significant Impact. Solid waste disposal is provided by Waste Management Inc. of Orange County, which operates under a franchise agreement with the City. A limited amount of solid waste would be generated during construction. It is anticipated that the solid waste generated by construction would not be substantial or interfere with the permitted capacity of nearby landfills and therefore would have a less than significant impact on local solid waste facilities. g. Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? Less than Significant Impact. Solid waste generated during construction would be disposed of in a manner consistent with federal, state and local statutes and regulations. Anticipated uses of the proposed estate gardens and family mausolea are typical of the existing park and would not violate any federal, state, or local statutes or regulations related to solid waste. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. h. Include a new or retrofitted storm water treatment control Best Management Practice (BMP), (e-g. water quality treatment basin, construction treatment wetland), the operation of which could result in significant environmental effects (e.g., increased vectors and odors)? No Impact. The site -is adequately served by existing storm water utilities and no significant alteration or expansion of is anticipated, including water quality treatment basins or treatment wetlands that might have indirect environmental effects. Therefore, no impacts would occur. XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self - sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? No Impact. The amendments to the Development Agreement and Use Permit pose no direct impacts to biological resources and do not threaten any endangered species or habitat. Biological issues, as well as other environmental issues, are further discussed Initial Study / Negative Declaration Pacific View Memorial Park — Amendments to Use Permit No. 3518 and.Development Agreement No. 95 -26 Page 44 elsewhere in this Initial Study. Important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory would not be eliminated as a result of this project. b. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ( "Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects) ? No Impact. No long -term significant impacts are associated with the project. The proposed project modifies the development which is allowed within Area 8 of the park to include estate gardens and up to nine (9) family mausolea in lieu of a community mausoleum. This modification would result in a reduction of 7,200 square feet of community mausoleum space, reduced casket space from 1,200 to 140, lower maximum roof height and reduced roof surface. The impacts associated with the proposed project are lower than the currently allowed community mausoleum. There would be no cumulatively considerable impacts. C. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? No Impact. Based on the findings contained herein, the project's potential impacts would not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings either directly or indirectly.
