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
Pack View Memorial Park

Page 3
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 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 (Attachment 1).
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 in 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 1e 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 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 complianm and
accuracy.

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 project 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.

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

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.
This resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption. Passed and adopted by 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. 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; and
WHEREAS, 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; 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
signfcant. 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

RESOLUTION NO. 1728
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
ADOPT NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 2007 -001 AND APPROVE USE
PERMIT NO. 2006 -040 AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. 2006-
001 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 and to Development
Agreement No. 7 to allow Pacific View Memorial Park to develop six (6) family mausolea
comprising 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, a public hearing was held on August 9, 2007, in the City Hall Council
Chambers, at 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. 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

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;

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

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

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.

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

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

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:

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

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

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.

adjoining residents by establishing
strict, binding limits on the amount,
height and location of permitted
development as well as ensure compliance
with numerous conditions on the timing of
construction, the design of structures,
and landscaping of the property.
(c) Benefit the parties, nearby residents and
the general public by serving as the
primary legal means of vesting Pacific
View's right to develop the property

Negative Declaration and supplemental public
notice regarding potential changes to Pacific
View's Technical Site Plan requested by the
Planning Commission, as well as notice
regarding the potential Development Agreement
which the Commission desired to consider. On
April 20, after conducting further hearings
regarding the Discretionary Approvals and the
draft Development Agreement, and after further
conditioning and modifying the Technical Site
Plan, the Discretionary Approvals and the
Development Agreement, the Planning Commission
directed the preparation of approval
resolutions, findings, conditions, and

General Plan (as amended by the General Plan .
Amendment), and other applicable ordinances,
plans, and policies of the City. This
Agreement is also consistent with the purpose
and intent of state and local laws authorizing
development agreements in that it represents
comprehensive planning, provides certainty in
the approval of subsequent construction subject
to compliance with conditions, reduces the
economic costs of development by providing
assurance to Pacific View that it may use and
develop the Property in accordance with the
Discretionary Approvals subject to compliance
with the terms and conditions hereof, and
provides assurance to adjoining property owners
that restrictions and conditions designed to
mitigate the impact of development, such as
restrictions on the height, location and number
of building envelopes will remain in full force
during the term of this Agreement or, in the
case of the prohibition against interments in,
• and the landscaping and maintenance of, the
buffer zone, survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.

1
k0
u
•
•
and the modified Agreement shall remain in
effect, subject to the following:

this Agreement pursuant to this provision
unless and until the City Council makes a
finding that such modification is required
(as opposed to permitted) by state and

(b) the modifications must be limited to those
required (as opposed to permitted) by the
state or federal laws;
(c) the modified Agreement must be consistent
with the state or federal laws or
regulations which required modification or
suspension;
(d) the intended material benefits of this
Agreement must still be received by each of
the Parties after modification;
(e) neither the modification nor any applicable
local, state, or federal laws or
regulations, may render the modified
Agreement impractical to enforce; and
(f) Pacific View consents in writing to the
modification.
Pacific View shall have the right to seek
judicial review of any proposed modification to
ensure compliance with this Section.
9. DEFAULT, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION.
9.1 General Provisions. In the event of a Default,
the Party alleging a Default shall give the
other Party a written Notice of Default. The
Notice of Default shall specify the nature of
the alleged Default, and a reasonable manner and
sufficient period of time (not less than thirty
(30) days) in which the Default must be cured
(the "Cure Period "). During the Cure Period,
the Party charged shall not be considered in
Default for the purposes of termination of the
Agreement or institution of legal proceedings.
If the alleged Default is cured within the Cure
Period, then a Default shall be deemed not to
exist.
9.2
If an alleged Default is not cured
Cure Period, the noticing Party must
26 14C/ I
• give the defaulting Party a Notice of intent to
terminate the Agreement. Within thirty (30)
days after giving of the Notice, the City
Council shall hold a public hearing in the
manner set forth in Government Code Sections
65865, 65867, and 65868, as amended, to consider
and review the matter.
9.3 Notice of Termination. After considering the
evidence presented to the City Council, the
Party alleging the Default, at its option, may
give written Notice of termination of the
Agreement to the other Party and the Agreement
shall be terminated immediately upon giving the
Notice. A termination shall be valid only if
good cause exists and substantial evidence was
presented to the City Council to establish the
existence of a Default. The findings of the
City Council as to the existence of a Default
shall have no weight in any legal proceeding
brought to determine the existence of a Default.
The validity of any termination may be
challenged pursuant to Section 11.15, in which
case the court shall render an independent
judgment as to the existence of a Default and
good cause for termination. Termination may
• result only from a material Default of a
material provision of this Agreement.
9.4 Waiver. Failure or delay in giving Notice of
Default shall not waive a Party's right to give
.future Notice of the same or any other Default.
9.5 Default by Pacific View. Subject to compliance
with Sections 9.1 through 9.3, in the event of a
Pacific View default, City shall have no
obligation to perform any of City's obligations
pursuant to this Agreement (as opposed to the
City's obligations pursuant to Discretionary
Approvals). Upon a Pacific View default, any
resulting delays in City's performance ,shall
neither be City's default nor constitute grounds
for termination or cancellation of the Agreement
by Pacific View.
9.6 Default by the City. Subject to compliance with
Sections 9.1 through 9.3, in the event of a City
Default, Pacific View, without limiting any of
its other remedies, shall not be obligated to
proceed with this Agreement or complete the
development envisioned thereby, nor to perform
• any further obligations under_. the Agreement.
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. In consideration of the terms and
provisions of this Development Agreement, City and Pacific
View agree that upon the Effective Date of this Agreement,
Pacific View shall, and hereby does, forever relieve,
• release, and discharge City of and from any and all known
or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or fixed,
and existing or potential claims, complaints, grievances,

Pacific View expressly understands that California Civil
Code Section 1542 ( "Section 154211) provides as follows:
•
A general release does not extend to claims
which the creditor does not know or suspect

executing the release, which if known by
him must have materially affected his
settlement with the debtor.
Pacific View knowingly, voluntarily, intentionally, and
expressly waives any and all rights and benefits conferred
by Section 1542 or any law of any state or territory of the
United States or any foreign country, principle of common
law, or other law that is similar to Section 1542, and
agree and acknowledge that this waiver is an essential term
of this Agreement, without which the consideration given
herein would not have been given.
Notwithstanding the foregoing general release, nothing in
the Discretionary Approvals, this Agreement, Pacific View's
consent to this Agreement, or Pacific View's acquiescence
in the Discretionary Approvals, shall be construed as any
admission or agreement on the part of Pacific View that, in
the absence of Pacific View's voluntary agreement to this
Development Agreement, the City had any legal authority to
limit the development of mausolea at Pacific View, withhold
building Permits from Pacific View, or otherwise impose
additional regulatory burdens upon Pacific View's
operations and development of the cemetery under the use
permit issued by the County of Orange.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed as any admission or agreement on the
part of the City that any act, or any failure to act, on
the part of the City or any of its officials, officers,
employees, or representatives was contrary to, or
inconsistent with, any provision of law, ordinance,
resolution or policy or would subject the City to any
liability or adverse court ruling.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO.7
(Pacific View)
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. 7 is made and
entered into effective as of , 2007 by and among the CITY OF NEWPORT
BEACH, a charter city and a municipal corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
State of California (the "City"), and SCI CALIFORNIA FUNERAL SERVICES, INC. doing
business as PACIFIC VIEW MEMORIAL PARK ( "Pacific View "), successor -in- interest to
PIERCE BROTHERS, a California corporation, with reference to the following facts and
intentions:
RECITALS
A. Pacific View is the owner of approximately forty-five (45) acres of real property
located at 3500 Pacific View Drive in the City 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 (the "Property ").
B. On July 10, 1995, the Newport Beach City Council certified a Negative
Declaration, approved certain land use entitlement permits for development of the Property,
including Use Permit No. 3518, and adopted Ordinance No. 95 -26 approving Development
Agreement No. 7 between the City and Pierce Brothers, a California corporation doing business
as Pacific View Memorial Park, recorded in the Official Records of Orange County, California
on September 8, 1995 as Instrument No. 95- 0392537 (the "Development Agreement "). The
Development Agreement grants to Pacific View statutory vested rights to develop the Property in
accordance with the terms, conditions and exhibits contained in the Development Agreement.
C. Pursuant to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of
California and by Certificate of Ownership dated December 31, 2001, filed in the office of the
Secretary of State of the State of California, SCI California Funeral Services, Inc. acquired all of
the outstanding shares of Pierce Brothers and merged Pierce Brothers into SCI California
Funeral Services, Inc. to become effective on December 31, 2001. Under the terms of the
Certificate of Ownership, Pierce Brothers was determined to be the disappearing corporation and
SCI California Funeral Services, Inc. continued in existence as the surviving corporation.
D. Pacific View is proposing to amend Use Permit No. 3518 by Use Permit No.
2006 -040 (the "Use Permit Amendment ") and amend Development Agreement No. 7 by
Development Agreement No. 2006 -001 (the "First Amendment ") and make appropriate changes
to the Technical Site Plan, Preliminary Landscape Plan and Section Diagram through Building
Sites E and H attached to the Development Agreement as Exhibits "C," "D" and "F," to remove
a 7,200 square foot Community Mausoleum in Building Site H, Area 8 and replace it with a
maximum of six (6) Family Mausolea having a total of 2024 square feet and ground burial
terraced garden estates (as governed by the restrictions in Section 4(10.)(b) of the Development
Agreement) and associated landscape planting to the rear and around the Family Mausolea to
buffer each structure from views of residents in the surrounding community. The Use Permit
Amendment will establish the maximum allowable size of the Family Mausolea structures at 17
2
Version 08 -02 -07
r�6
feet in height, 22 feet in width and 17 feet in depth, for four (4) Family Mausolea for Building
Envelopes H.1, H.2, H.3 and HA and two (2) Family Mausolea with a maximum of 15 feet in
height, 22 feet in width and 12 feet in depth for Building Envelopes H.5 and H.6 to be located
within Building Site H, Area 8.
E. After giving appropriate notice, the City Planning Commission held a public
hearing to consider the First Amendment on 2007 and voted to recommend
approval of the same.
F. After a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council approved execution of this
First Amendment pursuant to Ordinance No. , adopted on 2007.
G. This First Amendment is consistent with the City's General Plan and associated
amendments, and other applicable ordinances, plans and policies of the City. This First
Amendment is also consistent with the purpose and intent of the provisions of Section 65864 et
seq. of the California Government Code, and Chapter 15.45 of the Newport Beach Municipal
Code.
H. An initial study has been prepared for the Use Permit Amendment and this First
Amendment, which determined that the changes proposed in the Use Permit Amendment and
this First Amendment would not have a significant impact on the environment. Therefore, a
Negative Declaration has been prepared for the Use Permit Amendment and this First
Amendment, which is consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act and was
certified by the City Council on 12007.
I. Based on the foregoing and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
City and Pacific View desire to enter into this First Amendment to Development Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein
contained, and having determined that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and should be
and hereby are incorporated into this First Amendment, Pacific View and the City agree as
follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Section 1.4 of the Development Agreement entitled Development of the
Property is hereby amended to read as follows:
1.4 Development of the Propert y. This Agreement grants

D. Findings:
The City of Newport Beach has conducted an Initial Study to evaluate the project's potential
for adverse environmental impact, and considering the record as a whole there is no evidence
before this agency that the proposed project will have the potential for an adverse effect on
wildlife resources or the habitat upon which wildlife depends. On the basis of the evidence in
the record, this agency finds that the presumption of adverse effect contained in Section
753.5(d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) has been rebutted.
Therefore, the proposed project qualifies for a De Mnimis Impact Fee Exemption pursuant to
Section 753.5(c) of Title 14, CCR
E. Certification:
I hereby certify that the lead agency has made the above findings of fact and that based upon
the initial study and hearing record the project will not individually or cumulatively have an
adverse effect on wildlife resources, as defined in Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code.

PMIAL STUDY CHECKLIST EXPLANATIONS
Pacific View Memorial Park
GPA 94- 1(F)/UP 3518/SPR 69/DA 7
INTRODUCTION
On February 2, 1995 a Negative Declaration was posted for this project. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
The project could produce fight and glare that could adversely affect nearby residential properties if
exterior fighting is placed on mausoleum structures.
No coastal bluffs would be affected by the project.

In order to reduce potential aesthetic impacts to adjacent residential areas, the applicant has
incorporated the following design requirements into the proposed site plan:
Private mausolea within the park shall be limited as outlined below. "Private
mausoleum" as used herein shall mean a mausoleum structure containing one or more
crypts which are owned and privately used by one individual or family.
a Private mausolea shall not exceed 12 feet in depth, 22 feet in width and 15 feet
in height;
b. Private mausolea shall be limited to Building Site "D" without restriction;
C. Private mausolea shall be permitted in Building Site "A" provided they are
contiguous and adjacent to a community mausoleum and that a minimum
separation of 40 feet between mausoleums is maintained;
d. Private mausolea shall be permitted in Building Site 'B" provided they are
contiguous and adjacent to a community mausoleum and are constructed
within the approved envelope for Building Site " E ";
e. Private mausolea shall be permitted in Building Sites "F" and "G" provided
they are contiguous and adjacent to a community mausoleum and located on
the westerly elevation of such structures.
The plan does not show garden walls, walkways or similar structures which may be
constructed anywhere within the park except within the 60 foot landscape buffer
adjacent to easterly property line. No roads or driveways shall be located so as to be
closer to adjoining residential areas than depicted on the approved plan and that the
road extension of Pacific View Drive adjacent to the northerly side of Area 12 shall be
deleted.
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 within 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 of mausolea shall be screened by the
generous use of the roof and tree canopies.
In addition to these design specifications, Mitigation Measure #1 would require a 60 -foot
buffer zone (with a 75 -foot buffer zone at specified mausoleum locations) along the eastern
property line: The following additional mitigation measures would substantially reduce any
remaining potential aesthetic impacts to adjacent residential areas.
