SUBJECT: Termination of Option to Purchase from The Irvine Company a City
Hall Site in Block 500 of Newport Center Drive
ISSUE
Should the City Council terminate the option to purchase the City Hall site in Block 500
of Newport Center Drive that was granted pursuant to the Zoning Implementation and
Public Benefit Agreement with The Irvine Company for North Newport Center?
RECOMMENDATION
If the Council desires to terminate the option, it should adopt the attached Resolution
authorizing the Mayor to sign a notice to terminate the option to purchase the City Hall
site and authorizing the City Manager to accept the Amended and Restated Grant Deed
for Parcel 3 of Parcel Map 90 -361.
DISCUSSION
Introduction
On December 18, 2007, after holding two public hearings, the City Council adopted
Ordinance No. 2007 -21, approving Development Agreement No. DA2007 -002,
entitled the Zoning Implementation and Public Benefit Agreement Between the City
of Newport Beach and The Irvine Company LLC Concerning North Newport Center
(Fashion Island, Block 500, Block 600, and San Joaquin Plaza) (the "North Newport
Center Development Agreement').
Under Section 4.8 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement, the City
and The Irvine Company entered into an Option Agreement that gives the City the
option to purchase a site in Newport Center Drive Block 500 for the purposes of
Termination of Option to Purchase City Hall Site in
Newport Center Drive Block 500 from The Irvine Company
May 27, 2008
Page 2
constructing a new City Hall. Exhibit F to the North Newport Center Development
Agreement contains the Option Agreement.
On February 5, 2008, in a special municipal election, a majority of the City's voters
voted in favor of Measure B (the "City Hall in the Park" initiative). Measure B added
a new Section 425 to the City's Charter to require City Hall, the City's administrative
offices, and related parking to be located on the City property bounded on the north
by San Miguel Drive, the east by MacArthur Boulevard, the south by the City's
Central Library, and the west by Avocado Avenue (the "City Hall Site'). Measure B,
therefore, effectively curtailed the City's ability to select any location, including
Newport Center Drive Block 500, for the new City Hall, other than the City Hall Site.
On February 26, 2008, after holding a public hearing, the City Council adopted
Resolution No. 2008 -13, declaring the results of the special municipal election for
Measure B and stating that Measure B shall be deemed adopted and ratified. On
the same day, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2008 -14, stating that it
wished to follow the will of the voters and develop a new City Hall on the City Hall
Site.
As part of Resolution No. 2008 -14, the City Council also stated that it wished to
have professional advice on issues related to design of the new City Hall and a
master plan for 19.8 acres owned by the City between Corona Del Mar Plaza and
the Orange County Transportation Authority's Transportation Facility. As part of
the resolution, the City Council also established the City Hall Design Committee to
oversee and conduct a design competition City Hall and Master Plan for the
property, which includes the City Hall Site specified in Measure B and the Avocado
Open Space parcel, north of the site and across San Miguel Road, to be granted to
the City as part of the Newport North Development Agreement.
II. Public Benefits Tringered by Termination of Option
A. Dedication of Avocado Open Space Parcel
Section 4.6 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement provides
that The Irvine Company shall dedicate to the City an approximately 3.18 -acre
site in Newport Center for open space and public facility purposes within 30
days after the earliest of the following: (1) the City has awarded a construction
contract for construction of City Hall at any location within the City or (2) the
City's option to purchase the Newport Center Drive Block 500 site has
terminated.
The 3.18 -acre site is bounded on the north by the Orange County
Transportation Authority site, the east by MacArthur Boulevard, the south by
Termination of Option to Purchase City Hall Site in
Newport Center Drive Block 500 from The Irvine Company
May 27, 2008
Page 3
San Miguel Drive, and the west by Avocado Avenue. This site is identified in
the North Newport Center Development Agreement as the "Avocado Open
Space Parcel."
As noted above, the City Council stated in Resolution No. 2008 -14 that it
wished to follow the will of the voters in approving Measure B. The City may,
under the North Newport Center Development Agreement, trigger The Irvine
Company's obligation to dedicate the Avocado Open Space Parcel by
awarding a construction contract for construction of City Hall on the City Hall
Site. Given the City's design competition process to develop a master plan for
both the Avocado Open Space Parcel and the City Hall Site, it will be some
time before the City will have completed all necessary steps, (e.g. approve a
design, define the project and complete environmental review) required to be
in a position to award a construction contract for construction of City Hall.
Section 4.8.1 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement provides
for a four -year duration for the option to purchase the site in Newport Center
Drive Block 500. The four years is counted from the Effective Date of the
development agreement, which was January 18, 2008. If the City does not
take action to exercise or terminate the option, then the option will
automatically terminate on January 18, 2012. In that case, The Irvine
Company's obligation to dedicate the Avocado Open Space Parcel will not
arise until that time.
Accordingly, the City can trigger The Irvine Company's obligation to dedicate
the Avocado Open Space Parcel more quickly by taking action to terminate the
option to purchase the alternative site for the new City Hall in Newport Center
Drive Block 500.
B. Accelerated Dedication of Lower Castaways
The Irvine Company's obligation to dedicate Lower Castaways arises upon
issuance of the First Building Permit.
Section 4.11 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement provides
that The Irvine Company shall dedicate to the City the bay -front Lower
Castaways site for certain municipal or municipally sponsored uses upon the
City's issuance of The Irvine Company's First Building Permit, as defined by
Section 1.13 of the development agreement.
Section 1.13 defines "First Building Permit" as follows:
"First Building Permit" shall mean the first building permit
that is issued for either. (i) the Parking Structure; or (ii)
Termination of Option to Purchase City Hall Site in
Newport Center Drive Block 500 from The Irvine Company
May 27, 2008
Page 4
residential, office, or hotel development on any portion of
the Property located in Newport Center Block 500,
Newport Center Block 600, or San Joaquin Plaza,
provided the building permit (A) is for new development
that did not exist as of the date of this Agreement on the
property for which the permit is being issued, (B) is not for
the renovation, repair, or improvement of an existing
building that does not increase the building's square
footage, and (C) is not for a parking structure that is
intended to serve, in whole or in part, any such new
development (other than the Parking Structure, which is
specifically included pursuant to clause (i)).
In turn, Section 1.25 defines "Parking Structure" as follows:
"Parking Structure" shall mean the multilevel parking
structure to be developed on the Parking Structure Site in
the event City exercises its option to acquire the Option
Site, including without limitation the spaces on the ground
level within the multilevel parking structure.
Since the City Council intends to take the necessary steps to develop a new
City Hall on the site directed in Measure B, it is unlikely the City will issue a
First Building Permit associated with the option to The Irvine Company.
The Irvine Company has indicated that it does not plan to request the First
Building Permit (i.e., a building permit for new residential, office, or hotel
development on the property covered by the North Newport Center
Development Agreement) for over a year and possibly up to three years.
Under the terms of the Agreement, The Irvine Company's obligation to
dedicate Lower Castaways would therefore not arise until that time.
The Irvine Company, however, has agreed to accelerate its dedication of
Lower Castaways if the City terminates the option to purchase the site in
Newport Center Drive Block 500. Specifically, The Irvine Company has
agreed, by the attached letter to the City Manager, to deliver to the City the
grant deed for Lower Castaways within 60 days of the City's termination of the
option.
C. Cooperation to Allow for City Hall on Site Specified in Measure B
Section 4.10 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement provides
that The Irvine Company will cooperate in good faith with the City to allow for
construction of City Hall on the site specified in Measure B "[ijf the City elects
Termination of Option to Purchase City Hall Site in
Newport Center Drive Block 500 from The Irvine Company
May 27, 2008
Page 5
to construct a new City Hall" on that site. Under Section 4.10, The Irvine
Company specifically agreed "to release and terminate the use restrictions
contained in the deed for the [site specked in Measure B] to allow for and
accommodate construction of a new City Hall on that site."
The Irvine Company had previously granted the City Hall Site to the City, and
the grant deed provided that the use of the property would be limited to open
space and public facilities consistent with the Planned Community District
regulations ( "PC Text ") for the property. The PC Text authorizes open space
and park uses. Even though the City is currently only in the planning and
design stages for building a City Hall on the site, The Irvine Company has
nevertheless agreed to amend the Grant Deed, (the "Amended Grant Deed ") in
the form of an Amended and Restated Grant Deed, that revises the language
of the use covenant to delete the reference to the PC Text, thus authorizing the
use of the Property for open space and the option to construct a public facility
(i.e., City Hall) on the City Hall Site.
The Irvine Company has executed the attached Amended Grant Deed. The
construction of City Hall on the site specified in Measure B is now consistent
with the use of the property for open space and public facilities.
III. Termination of Option Terminates Citv Rights and Obligations
Section 1.3 of the Option Agreement provides for the City's right to terminate the
option to purchase the City Hall site. Section 1.3 states that termination is effective
by "delivery of written notice of termination to [The Irvine Company], which notice
City shall have the right to deliver at any time during the Option Period prior to
City's exercise of the Option." Section 4.8.1 of the North Newport Center
Development Agreement contains the same language providing for the City's right
to terminate the option.
The City's termination of the option terminates the rights and obligations of the City
and The Irvine Company that are established in the Option Agreement. The City's
termination of the option also terminates the rights and obligations of the City and
The Irvine Company that are established in Section 4.8 of the North Newport
Center Development Agreement. These rights and obligations relate to the City
Hall site in Newport Center Drive Block 500 and the associated parking structure.
Thus, upon termination, the City will no longer need to track or act on its obligations
under the Option Agreement and Section 4.8 of the North Newport Center
Development Agreement. The Irvine Company will no longer need to work with the
City to design a parking structure to accommodate a City Hall.

IV. Benefits to Terminatina the Option
If the Council adopts the attached Resolution authorizing early termination of the
option the City will have followed the will of the voters, who enacted Measure B,
which in essence terminated the option to build a City Hall in the 500 Block of
Newport Center. Terminating this option will allow The Irvine Company to go
forward with their plans to design and pull permits to build a parking structure in
Block 500 by mid -2009 and as a result accelerate the following benefits under the
Development Agreement:
1. Payment of /z ($13,545,000) of the Public Benefit fees for the construction of
City Hall.
2. Dedication of the Avocado Open Space Parcel.
3. Dedication of Lower Castaways.
Under Section 1.3 of the Option Agreement and Section 4.8.1 of the North Newport
Center Development Agreement, the City can terminate the option simply by delivering
written notice of the termination to The Irvine Company. The attached Resolution
provides that the City Manager deliver written notice of the termination, pursuant to the
notice requirements set forth in Section 24 of the North Newport Center Development
Agreement
The date of delivery of the written notice will trigger the time frame under which The
Irvine Company will then dedicate the Avocado Open Space Parcel and Lower
Castaways. As noted above, The Irvine Company will deliver to the City the grant deed
for the Avocado Open Space Parcel within 30 days of termination of the option and
deliver to the City the grant deed for Lower Castaways within 60 days of termination of
the option.

RESOLUTION NO. 2008-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH TERMINATING THE OPTION TO
PURCHASE FROM THE IRVINE COMPANY A CITY HALL
SITE IN BLOCK 500 OF NEWPORT CENTER DRIVE
WHEREAS, on December 18, 2007, after holding two public hearings, the City
Council of the City of Newport Beach adopted Ordinance No. 2007 -21, approving
Development Agreement No. DA2007 -002, entitled the Zoning Implementation and
Public Benefit Agreement Between the City of Newport Beach and The Irvine Company
LLC Concerning North Newport Center (Fashion Island, Block 500, Block 600, and San
Joaquin Plaza) (the "North Newport Center Development Agreement ").
WHEREAS, under Section 4.8 of the North Newport Center Development
Agreement, the City and The Irvine Company LLC ( "The Irvine Company") entered into
an Option Agreement that gives the City the option to purchase a site in Newport Center
Drive Block 500 for the purposes of constructing a new City Hall (the "Option "). Exhibit
F to the North Newport Center Development Agreement contains the Option
Agreement.
WHEREAS, on February 5, 2008, in a special municipal election, a majority of
the City's voters voted in favor of Measure B (the "City Hall in the Park" initiative).
Measure B provides for adding a new Section 425 to the City's Charter to require City
Hall, the City's administrative offices, and related parking to be located on the City
property bounded on the north by San Miguel Drive, the east by MacArthur Boulevard,
the south by the City's Central Library, and the west by Avocado Avenue.
WHEREAS, on February 26, 2008, after holding a public hearing, the City
Council adopted Resolution No. 2008 -13, declaring the results of the special municipal
election for Measure B and stating that Measure B shall be deemed adopted and
ratified. On the same day, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2008 -14, stating
that it wished to follow the will of the voters and develop a new City Hall on the site
specified in Measure B.
WHEREAS, after thoroughly considering the entire record, including the public
testimony and written submissions, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard,
the City Council finds the following facts, findings, and reasons to support terminating
the Option:
Dedication of Open Space Parcel
1. Voter approval of Measure B amended the City's Charter to require that
City Hall be located on the site identified in the Initiative.
1
2. As part of Resolution No. 2008 -14, which the City Council adopted on
February 26, 2008, the City Council stated that it wished to have professional advice on
issues related to design of the new City Hall and a master plan for 19.8 acres owned by
the City between Corona Del Mar Plaza and the Orange County Transportation
Authority's Transportation Facility. As part of the resolution, the City Council also
established the City Hall Design Committee to oversee and conduct a design
competition for City Hall and the master plan project, which includes the City Hall site
specified in Measure B.
3. Section 4.6 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement
provides that The Irvine Company shall dedicate to the City an approximately 3.18 -acre
site in Newport Center for open space and public facility purposes within 30 days after
the earliest of the following: (1) the City has awarded a construction contract for
construction of City Hall at any location within the City or (2) the Option has terminated.
The 3.18 -acre site is bounded on the north by the Orange County Transportation
Authority site, the east by MacArthur Boulevard, the south by San Miguel Drive, and the
west by Avocado Avenue. This site is known as the "Avocado Open Space Parcel."
4. The City can trigger The Irvine Company's obligation to dedicate the
Avocado Open Space Parcel by awarding a construction contract for construction of
City Hall on the site specified in Measure B. Given the City's plan to hold a design
competition for City Hall and to develop a master plan for the area encompassing the
site specified in Measure B, the City will not likely award a construction contract for
construction of City Hall for some time.
5. Section 4.8.1 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement
provides for a four -year duration for the Option. The four years is counted from the
Effective Date of the development agreement, which was January 18, 2008. If the City
does not take action to exercise or terminate the Option, then the Option will
automatically terminate on January 18, 2012. In that case, The Irvine Company's
obligation to dedicate the Avocado Open Space Parcel will not arise until that time.
6. The City can trigger The Irvine Company's obligation to dedicate the
Avocado Open Space Parcel more quickly by taking action now to terminate the Option.
Accelerated Dedication of Lower Castaways
7. Section 4.11 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement
provides that The Irvine Company shall dedicate to the City the bay -front Lower
Castaways site for certain municipal or municipally sponsored uses upon the City's
issuance of The Irvine Company's First Building Permit, as defined by Section 1.13 of
the development agreement.
8. The Irvine Company has indicated that it does not plan to request the First
Building Permit as defined by Section 1.13 of the North Newport Center Development
Agreement for at least one year from now. Under the terms of the development
r:
agreement, The Irvine Company's obligation to dedicate Lower Castaways would
therefore not arise until that time.
9. The Irvine Company has agreed to accelerate its dedication of Lower
Castaways if the City terminates the Option. Specifically, The Irvine Company has
agreed to deliver to the City the grant deed for Lower Castaways within 60 days of the
City's termination of the Option.
Accelerated Cooperation to Allow for City Hall on Site Specified in Measure B
10. Section 4.10 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement
provides that The Irvine Company will cooperate in good faith with the City to allow for
construction of City Hall on the site specified in Measure B "[]f the City elects to
construct a new City Hall" on that site. Under Section 4.10, The Irvine Company
specifically agreed "to release and terminate the use restrictions contained in the deed
for the [site specified in Measure B] to allow for and accommodate construction of a new
City Hall on that site."
11. The Irvine Company had previously dedicated the site specified in
Measure B to the City, and the grant deed included a reference to Planned Community
District regulations that authorized open space and park uses, and that would have
required amendment to construct a City Hall on the site. The City is currently only in the
planning and design stages for construction of City Hall on the site specified in Measure
B. The Irvine Company nevertheless agreed to enter into a Grant Deed (Amended and
Restated) (the "Amended Grant Deed ") that revises the language of the deed to
authorize construction of City Hall on the site specified in Measure B.
12. The Irvine Company has already executed and delivered the Amended
and Restated Grant Deed. The construction of City Hall on the site specified in
Measure B is now consistent with the open space and public facilities uses contained in
the Amended Grant Deed.
Termination of Option Terminates City Obligations
13. Section 1.3 of the Option Agreement provides for the City's right to
terminate the Option. Section 1.3 states that termination is effective by "delivery of
written notice of termination to [The Irvine Company], which notice City shall have the
right to deliver at any time during the Option Period prior to City's exercise of the
Option." Section 4.8.1 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement contains
the same language providing for the City's right to terminate the Option.
14. The City's termination of the Option terminates the rights and obligations
of the City and The Irvine Company that are established in the Option Agreement. The
City's termination of the Option also terminates the rights and obligations of the City and
The Irvine Company that are established in Section 4.8 of the North Newport Center
3
Development Agreement. These rights and obligations relate to the City Hall site in
Newport Center Drive Block 500 and the associated parking structure.
Conclusion
15. Termination of the Option will trigger three significant public benefits: (1)
dedication of the Avocado Open Space Parcel, (2) accelerated dedication of Lower
Castaways, and (3) accelerated cooperation to allow for City Hall on the site specified in
Measure B.
16. Given the City Council's commitment to comply with new Charter Section
425 and develop a new City Hall on the site specified in Measure B, and based on the
public benefits triggered by the City's termination of the Option, termination of the
Option is in the best interests of the health, safety, and general welfare of the City, its
residents, and the public.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council, as follows:
1. That the preceding recitations are true and correct and constitute the
findings of the City Council for termination of the Option.
2. That the City Council terminate the Option for the reasons set forth in this
resolution.
3. That the City Manager timely deliver written notice of the termination to
The Irvine Company, consistent with the notice requirements under
Section 24 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement.
4. That the City Manager accept and record the Amended & Restated Grant
Deed.
ADOPTED on the day of May 2008.

C. Covenant 3: Maintenance and Repairs. Grantee shall maintain
the Property in safe condition and in accordance with applicable laws, ordinances and regulations
applicable to the Property, and shall keep the Property in attractive condition, free from garbage
and debris.
d. Covenant 4: No Transfer of Property. Grantee acknowledges
that upon acceptance of the Property, it shall not abandon the Property nor thereafter sell, lease,
exchange or in any other way transfer or convey all or any portion of its interest in the Property
to a third party without the prior written approval of Grantor, which may be granted or withheld
in Grantor's sole discretion; provided, however, that Grantee may (A) transfer an interest in any
portion of the Property in connection with a utility installation required in connection with
Grantee's permitted use of the Property; (B) transfer any portion or all of the Property to another
public or quasi- public agency, maintenance district or non -profit corporation or entity that shall
operate and maintain such portion or all of the Property in accordance with the uses specified in
this Grant Deed; and (C) transfer any portion of the Property acquired by another entity under the
power of eminent domain.
ii. Matters Related to Covenants.
a. General Purpose. The Covenants are hereby declared and agreed
to be part of a general plan for the purpose of assuring the enhancement and protection of the
value, desirability and attractiveness of that certain real property in Orange County, California,
owned by Grantor or its affiliates described on Exhibit "S" attached hereto (the "Benefttted
Property'). The Covenants shall run and pass with each and every portion of the Property and
be binding upon and burden all persons having or acquiring any right, title or interest in the
30209-0091/367636.4 5/19/08 -4-
Property (during their ownership of such interest), or any part thereof, and their successors and
assigns.
b. Run With the Property. Subject to the following provisions of
this paragraph, the Covenants shall inure to the benefit of the Benefitted Property and the owners
of the Benefitted Property and their successors and assigns, and the Benefitted Property shall be
deemed the dominant tenement for purposes of the Covenants. In the event that any portion of
the Benefitted Property is conveyed by Grantor or its affiliates to a third party (each parcel of the
Benefitted Property so transferred is hereinafter referred to as a "Transferred Parcel'), the
Covenants shall cease to benefit the Transferred Parcel unless the deed conveying the
Transferred Parcel from Grantor to the transferee or a separate recorded document executed by
Grantor expressly assigns to the transferee the benefits of the Covenants that run with the
Transferred Parcel by specific reference to this Grant Deed (general references to appurtenances
or rights related to the acquired Property will not suffice). Any owner of any Transferred Parcel
who has been so assigned the ongoing benefit of the Covenants hereunder is referred to herein as
a "Covenant Transferee. " Any (i) merger of Grantor or its affiliates with or into another entity,
(ii). acquisition of all or a portion of the stock or equity of Grantor or its affiliates by a third party,
or (iii) assignment or transfer of the Benefitted Property to a division, subsidiary or affiliated
company of Grantor or such affiliates, will not be deemed a transfer of the Benefitted Property
triggering the applicability of this paragraph.
Every person or entity who now or hereafter owns or acquires any right, title or interest in
or to any portion of the Property or any improvements thereon is and shall be conclusively
deemed to have consented and agreed to every covenant, condition and restriction contained
herein, whether or not any reference to this instrument is contained in the instrument by which
such person acquired an interest in the Property or any such improvements.
C. Amendment. The Covenants may be amended by mutual
agreement of Grantor, any Covenant Transferee and Grantee. Any amendment must be recorded
in the Official Records of Orange County, California.
d. Term. The Covenants shall run with and bind the Property and
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Grantor, unless Grantor (and, if applicable,
any Covenant Transferee) record a declaration terminating the Covenants, the Covenants shall be
binding absolutely and perpetually on Grantee.
e. Default and Remedies. Because of the unique nature and scope
of development of the Benefitted Property by Grantor and its affiliates, as well as the amount of
planning, effort and time expended by such parties in reliance upon the anticipated uses of the
Property and the Benefitted Property, monetary damages will not provide an adequate remedy
for the damage to such planning efforts or development resulting from a breach of the
Covenants. Therefore, in the event of any breach, violation or failure to comply with any of the
Covenants which has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from Grantor to
do so (or if any such breach, violation or failure cannot be fully cured within such thirty (30) day
period, then upon failure of Grantee to commence such cure within such period and thereafter to
diligently complete such cure to Grantor's reasonable satisfaction), Grantor shall be entitled, in
addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled by law or equity (other than damages),
to specifically enforce the performance of the Covenants and Grantee's other obligations
30209-0091/367636A 5/19/08 -5-
hereunder or an injunction to enjoin the continuance of any breach or violation of the Covenants
or terms of this Grant Deed.
f. Waiver. No waiver by Grantor of a breach of any of the
Covenants and no delay or failure to enforce any of the Covenants shall be construed or held to
be a waiver of any succeeding or preceding breach of the same or any other restrictions or
conditions. No waiver of any breach or failure of any of the Covenants shall be implied from
any omission by Grantor to take any action on account of such breach or failure if such breach or
failure persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect a breach or failure other than as
specified in said waiver. The consent or approval by Grantor to or of any act by Grantee
requiring Grantor's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary
Grantor's consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by Grantee.
g. Cost of Enforcement. In the event any declaratory or other legal
or equitable action or proceeding shall be instituted between Grantor and Grantee to enforce any
provision of these Covenants, the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled to recover its
costs and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, from the losing party or
parties.
MISCELLANEOUS.

RESOLUTION NO. 2008-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH TERMINATING THE OPTION TO
PURCHASE FROM THE IRVINE COMPANY A CITY HALL
SITE IN BLOCK 500 OF NEWPORT CENTER DRIVE
WHEREAS, on December 18, 2007, after holding two public hearings, the City
Council of the City of Newport Beach adopted Ordinance No. 2007 -21, approving
Development Agreement No. DA2007 -002, entitled the Zoning Implementation and
Public Benefit Agreement Between the City of Newport Beach and The Irvine Company
LLC Concerning North Newport Center (Fashion Island, Block 500, Block 600, and San
Joaquin Plaza) (the "North Newport Center Development Agreement ").
WHEREAS, under Section 4.8 of the North Newport Center Development
Agreement, the City and The Irvine Company LLC ( "The Irvine Company ") entered into
an Option Agreement that gives the City the option to purchase a site in Newport Center
Drive Block 500 for the purposes of constructing a new City Hall (the "Option "). Exhibit
F to the North Newport Center Development Agreement contains the Option
Agreement.
WHEREAS, on February 5, 2008, in a special municipal election, a majority of
the City's voters voted in favor of Measure B (the "City Hall in the Park" initiative).
Measure B provides for adding a new Section 425 to the City's Charter to require City
Hall, the City's administrative offices, and related parking to be located on the City
property bounded on the north by San Miguel Drive, the east by MacArthur Boulevard,
the south by the City's Central Library, and the west by Avocado Avenue.
WHEREAS, on February 26, 2008, after holding a public hearing, the City
Council adopted Resolution No. 2008 -13, declaring the results of the special municipal
election for Measure B and stating that Measure B shall be deemed adopted and
ratified. On the same day, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2008 -14, stating
that it wished to follow the will of the voters and develop a new City Hall on the site
specified in Measure B.
WHEREAS, after thoroughly considering the entire record, including the public
testimony and written submissions, if any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard,
the City Council finds the following facts, findings, and reasons to support terminating
the Option:
Dedication of Open Space Parcel
1. Voter approval of Measure B amended the City's Charter to require that
City Hall be located on the site identified in the Initiative.
2. As part of Resolution No. 2008 -14, which the City Council adopted on
February 26, 2008, the City Council stated that it wished to have professional advice on
1
Agenda Item No. 5
May 27, 2008
issues related to design of the new City Hall and a master plan for 19.8 acres owned by
the City between Corona Del Mar Plaza and the Orange County Transportation
Authority's Transportation Facility. As part of the resolution, the City Council also
established the City Hall Design Committee to oversee and conduct a design
competition for City Hall and the master plan project, which includes the City Hall site
specified in Measure B.
3. Section 4.6 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement
provides that The Irvine Company shall dedicate to the City an approximately 3.18 -acre
site in Newport Center for open space and public facility purposes within 30 days after
the earliest of the following: (1) the City has awarded a construction contract for
construction of City Hall at any location within the City or (2) the Option has terminated.
The 3.18 -acre site is bounded on the north by the Orange County Transportation
Authority site, the east by MacArthur Boulevard, the south by San Miguel Drive, and the
west by Avocado Avenue. This site is known as the "Avocado Open Space Parcel."
4. The City can trigger The Irvine Company's obligation to dedicate the
Avocado Open Space Parcel by awarding a construction contract for construction of
City Hall on the site specified in Measure B. Given the City's plan to hold a design
competition for City Hall and to develop a master plan for the area encompassing the
site specified in Measure B, the City will not likely award a construction contract for
construction of City Hall for some time.
5. Section 4.8.1 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement
provides for a four -year duration for the Option. The four years is counted from the
Effective Date of the development agreement, which was January 18, 2008. If the City
does not take action to exercise or terminate the Option, then the Option will
automatically terminate on January 18, 2012. In that case, The Irvine Company's
obligation to dedicate the Avocado Open Space Parcel will not arise until that time.
6. The City can trigger The Irvine Company's obligation to dedicate the
Avocado Open Space Parcel more quickly by taking action now to terminate the Option.
Accelerated Dedication of Lower Castaways
7. Section 4.11 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement
provides that The Irvine Company shall dedicate to the City the bay -front Lower
Castaways site for certain municipal or municipally sponsored uses upon the City's
issuance of The Irvine Company's First Building Permit, as defined by Section 1.13 of
the development agreement.
8. The Irvine Company has indicated that it does not plan to request the First
Building Permit as defined by Section 1.13 of the North Newport Center Development
Agreement for at least one year from now. Under the terms of the development
agreement, The Irvine Company's obligation to dedicate Lower Castaways would
therefore not arise until that time.

Agenda Item No. 5
May 27, 2008
9. The Irvine Company has agreed to accelerate its dedication of Lower
Castaways if the City terminates the Option. Specifically, The Irvine Company has
agreed to deliver to the City the grant deed for Lower Castaways within 60 days of the
City's termination of the Option.
Accelerated Cooperation to Allow for City Hall on Site Specified in Measure B
10. Section 4.10 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement
provides that The Irvine Company will cooperate in good faith with the City to allow for
construction of City Hall on the site specified in Measure B "[i]f the City elects to
construct a new City Hall" on that site. Under Section 4.10, The Irvine Company
specifically agreed "to release and terminate the use restrictions contained in the deed
for the [site specified in Measure B] to allow for and accommodate construction of a new
City Hall on that site."
11. The Irvine Company had previously dedicated the site specified in
Measure B to the City, and the grant deed included a reference to Planned Community
District regulations that authorized open space and park uses, and that would have
required amendment to construct a City Hall on the site. The City is currently only in the
planning and design stages for construction of City Hall on the site specified in Measure
B. The Irvine Company nevertheless agreed to enter into a Grant Deed (Amended and
Restated) (the "Amended Grant Deed ") that revises the language of the deed to
authorize construction of City Hall on the site specified in Measure B.
12. The Irvine Company has already executed and delivered the Amended
and Restated Grant Deed. The construction of City Hall on the site specified in
Measure B is now consistent with the open space and public facilities uses contained in
the Amended Grant Deed.
Termination of Option Terminates City Obligations
13. Section 1.3 of the Option Agreement provides for the City's right to
terminate the Option. Section 1.3 states that termination is. effective by "delivery of
written notice of termination to [The Irvine Company], which notice City shall have the
right to deliver at any time during the Option Period prior to City's exercise of the
Option." Section 4.8.1 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement contains
the same language providing for the City's right to terminate the Option.
14. The City's termination of the Option terminates the rights and obligations
of the City and The Irvine Company that are established in the Option Agreement. The
City's termination of the Option also terminates the rights and obligations of the City and
The Irvine Company that are established in Section 4.8 of the North Newport Center
Development Agreement. These rights and obligations relate to the City Hall site in
Newport Center Drive Block 500 and the associated parking structure.
Conclusion

Agenda Item No. 5

15. Termination of the Option will allow The Irvine Company to go forward with
their plansAo design and pull permits to build a parking structure in Block 500 by mid-
~neRefit& (4-2) dedication of the Avocado Open Space Parcel, (a3) accelerated
dedication of Lower Castaways, and (34) the amended grant deed_asseleraied
cooperation to allow for City Hall on the site specified in Measure B.
16. Given the City Council's commitment to comply with new Charter Section
425 and develop a new City Hall on the site specified in Measure B, and based on the
public benefits triggered by the City's termination of the Option, termination of the
Option is in the best interests of the health, safety, and general welfare of the City, its
residents, and the public.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council, as follows:
1. That the preceding recitations are true and correct and constitute the
findings of the City Council for termination of the Option.
2. That the City Council terminate the Option for the reasons set forth in this
resolution.
3. That the City Manager timely deliver written notice of the termination to
The Irvine Company, consistent with the notice requirements under
Section 24 of the North Newport Center Development Agreement.
4. That the City Manager accept and record the Amended & Restated Grant
Deed.
