INTRODUCTION:
Proiect Description
The applicant is proposing to demolish an existing 54 -unit apartment complex and
construct 12 detached, single -unit residential structures and 6 detached, two -unit
(duplex) residential structures, for a total of 24 units (Attachment 2 - Project Plans). The
12 single -unit structures would front onto Seashore Drive and onto West Newport Park.
The 6 duplex structures front onto River Avenue. A total of 63 parking spaces are
proposed: 48 dedicated residential spaces in garages and carports; and 15 open guest
spaces.
Background
On April 17, 2008, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the applicant's
request, and after an extensive discussion on the project and considering the testimony
received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission unanimously voted to adopt the
MND and approve the requested applications.
On April 29, 2008, Mrs. Lennie DeCaro, an adjacent property owner, appealed the
Planning Commission's approval.
Please refer to the attached March 20, 2008, and April 17, 2008, Planning Commission
staff reports for a detailed discussion and analysis of the proposed project and
requested approvals (Attachments 3 & 4).
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission generally concurred with staffs analysis of the proposed
project as presented in the attached staff reports and found that the findings necessary
for the project approval could be made. Commissioners commented that the mass and
scale of the project were consistent with policies of the General Plan. They also
recognized that, although the project is designed to appear as a traditional Single - Family
and Two - Family Residential subdivision, maintaining the Multiple - Family Residential
zoning classification provides 15 guest spaces that would not be required within the R -1
and R -2 zoning classifications.
To reduce the massing and minimize impacts to the adjacent R -2 properties, the
Commission required that the roofs be designed with a hip roof feature that slopes the roof
planes away from side property line.
The proposed project is located in the Coastal Zone and compliance with the Mello Act
requires that units occupied by low and moderate - income households be replaced to the
extent this would be economically feasible. Discussion took place as to whether or not the
recommended condition of approval requiring a $1.35 million commitment to replace six
Seashore Village
June 10, 2008
Page 3
units currently occupied by low and moderate - income households was sufficient. Staff
clarified that the $1.35 million proposed for this purpose is not intended to cover the entire
cost of the replacement units, but rather is intended to cover the subsidy needed to
provide the replacement units at a price/rents affordable to low and moderate - income
households. The applicant may decide to purchase market rate units and sell them, in
which case the subsidy is the difference in cost between the fair market value of each unit
and the price a low or moderate - income household could afford to pay (i.e. $479K Market
Rate Price - $303K Affordable Price = $176K Subsidy). Another option is for the applicant
to purchase units and rent them at rates affordable to low and moderate - income
households. Rents would be maintained at affordable rates pursuant to 30 -year covenants
required by the City. The Commission agreed that the $1.35 million commitment was
sufficient and modified the condition to require that a minimum of six units be provided, in
the event that more replacement units can be accommodated with the commitment as
follows:
Condition No. 8 The applicant shall replace at least 6 affordable units within 3 years of the date of
issuance of a demolition permit. The units may be provided off -site at an approved location, or
locations, within the City. An amount not to exceed $1.35 million shall be provided by the
applicant and the applicant shall use such funds to replace at least 6 affordable units and to
achieve a mix of income levels and bedroom counts, as determined appropriate by the Planning
Director. The applicant shall enter into an agreement with the City to provide said units. The
agreement shall be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and shall be executed and
recorded prior to the issuance of a demolition permit for the project.
The Minutes from the Planning Commission hearing have been attached for reference
(Attachment 5).
DISCUSSION:
Appeal
The appellant requests that the City Council reconsider and reverse both the Planning
Commission's action to adopt the MND and the action to approve the project. Chapter
20.95 of the Municipal Code establishes the procedures for the appeal process.
Pursuant to Section 20.95.060 C, a public hearing on an appeal is conducted "de novo,"
meaning that it is a new hearing and the decision being appealed has no force or effect
as of the date the appeal was filed. The appellate body is not bound by the decision
being appealed or limited to the issues raised on appeal.
Analysis
The appellant's appeal application (Attachment 6) specifically cites three main reasons
for the appeal: 1) improper notice; 2) improper public hearing; and 3) improper approval.
In addition to the brief information provided on the appeal application, the appellant's
appeal states that two comment letters (total of 50 pages) and a -mails previously
Seashore Village
June 10, 2008
Page 4
submitted by the appellant should be considered for the appeal, as well as other
residentttenant letters of objection (Attachment 7).
The following discussion summarizes the appellant's reasons for the appeal and
provides responses for the City Council's consideration.
Improper Notice
General Comment: Based on information presented in both the appellant's comment
letters and information presented in her a -mails to staff, the appellant believes adequate
noticing was not provided as to the availability of the MND for the mandatory 30 -day
public review period. The following reasons are cited:
• Appellant received a mailed notice of public hearing, but never received a mailed
notice indicating the availability of the MND ( "notice of availability ").
• Appellant states that the MND was not available for review until 6 days after the
start of the 30 -day public review period.
• Appellant states that the site was not posted with the notice of availability and
even if it had been, the 30-day public review period would have concluded on
March 215t, not March 20th as indicated on the notice.
• Notice of availability was not mailed to tenants of the apartment building or to the
tenants in the neighborhood.
Response: As stated in Response to Comment No. C -2 (Attachment 8 — Response to
Comments) to the appellant's first comment letter, pursuant to Sections 15105(c) and
15073(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, the MND was forwarded to the State Clearing house
on February 19, 2008, for distribution to responsible and trustee agencies for the
mandatory 30 -day review period. Pursuant, to Sections 15072(b)(2) and 15105, the
notice was posted onsite in the area where the project is to be located. Although not
required if the site has been posted, the notice of availability was also mailed to all
property owners within a 300 -foot radius of the site, using the same list of property
owners for which the notice of public hearing was later mailed.
The posted notice and mailed notices indicated that the 30 -day review period would
begin on February 20, 2008, and conclude on March 20, 2008; however, because the
site was posted on February 20th, it was determined by the City Attorney's Office that
the public comment period began on the following day, February 21St, with the public
comment period ending on March 21St. Accordingly, the public hearing on the project
was continued from the March 20th Planning Commission meeting to allow for the full
public comment period and allow staff to prepare formal responses to comments
received.
Seashore Village
June 10, 2008
Page 5
It should be noted that in addition to the notice of availability that was mailed to the
appellant, on March 26th, staff directly e- mailed the appellant to notify her that the MND
was available for review online. The document was also available for review at City Hall,
as indicated on the notices, since the commencement of the public review period.
Therefore, staff concludes that adequate noticing was provided in accordance with the
CEQA Guidelines.
Improper Public Hearing
General Comment: The appellant's appeal, implies that the Planning Commission
hearing was improperly conducted and that there was an attempt to circumvent the
public hearing process for the following reasons:
• The Planning Commission did not consider appellant's additional 17 -page
comment letter (Comment Letter #2), e- mails, and objection letters submitted
prior to taking action on the project.
• E -mail and letters objecting to the project were not made available at the hearing.
Response: The appellant's first comment letter (33 pages) was submitted the day of
the March 20, 2008, Planning Commission hearing date. The Planning Commission
continued the item to allow staff to prepare responses to these comments. Responses
were prepared for each of the comments and were included in the April 17, 2008,
Planning Commission staff report. The appellant submitted a second comment letter (17
pages) on April 17, 2008, just prior to the start of the public hearing. This letter was
forwarded to each Planning Commissioner upon receipt via e-mail and hard copies of
the letter were made available to the Planning Commissioners and to members of the
general public at the public hearing.
A letter of opposition from a tenant of the building, Susan Carvalho (included in
Attachment 7), was also submitted the day of the Planning Commission hearing on April
17, 2008. A copy of the letter was scanned and e- mailed to each of the Planning
Commissioners and hard copies were made available at the hearing for the
Commission and the general public.
Staff did not receive any other comment letters or a -mails regarding the project that
were not already included in the formal response to comments on the MND.
General Comment: The appellant's appeal also implies that there was an attempt to
circumvent the public hearing process because she was interrupted during her 3 minute
presentation and not allowed to rebut the applicant's testimony.
Response: The Planning Commission agenda states that speakers providing testimony
to the Planning Commission must limit remarks to three minutes on all items. Bob
Seashore Village
June 10, 2008
Page 6
DeCaro, appellant's husband, was provided a full 3 %z minutes of public testimony. The
appellant was provided 4 % minutes of public testimony, of which 3 % minutes were
entirely uninterrupted.
Improper Approval
The appellant believes the approval of the project was improper based on numerous
reasons cited in both of the extensive letters submitted. A detailed response to the
appellant's first letter was provided in a formal response to comments prepared for all
comment letters received within the MND public comment period. The appellant's
second comment letter was submitted on the day of the April 17, 2008, Planning
Commission hearing, after expiration of the 30 -day public comment period. The
following discussion is a summary of the new and /or reiterated objections to the project
presented in the appellant's second comment letter, with the exception of the public
noticing issues discussed above.
General Comment: The appellant believes that the CRDP application was improperly
approved for the following reasons:
• Based on her review of a previous application to develop the same site
(submitted by another developer in 2006), she discovered information indicating
that a 2006 income survey was performed and that there were a total of 13 low
and moderate - income households within the building (not 6 households as
confirmed in the 2007 income survey).
• The income survey evaluation was compromised in that the income surveys were
initiated, compiled, and returned to the City by the applicant.
• A possible reason for the difference in the numbers of low and moderate- income
households between the previous application and the current application is that,
prior to conducting the income survey, existing tenants were offered incentives to
move and that the property management company changed the rental policy
requiring minimum tenant income levels of $66,200 per individual with no co-
signers.
Response: The information the appellant discovered in reviewing the previous
application submittal (withdrawn on February 2, 2007) was contained within a proposal
for consultant services by Keyser Marston Associates, Inc., to conduct a feasibility
analysis of the previous applicant's financial pro forma. The proposal indicated that
there were a total of 13 low and moderate- income households within the building;
however, occupancy of the 13 units by low and moderate- income households was not
subsequently confirmed. Based on the 2006 income survey, it was preliminarily
assumed that 13 low and moderate- income households were in residence, based on
returned surveys and information found on each tenant's rental application. Upon further
review, it was determined that the information on the rental application was unreliable
Seashore Village
June 10, 2008
Page 7
as much of the data was out -dated and there was no way to determine whether or not a
household's income had increased or decreased during their respective occupancies. In
fact, the 2007 income survey information conflicted with rental application information
indicating that tenants had incomes at levels above moderate- income. Therefore, in
evaluating the 2007 income survey, staff made a determination that occupancy by only
6 low and moderate- income households could be confirmed and the replacement
requirement was determined to be a minimum of 6 units.
The Mello Act does not provide direction on how to determine the income level of the
households; however, it has been the City's practice for the applicant to conduct the
income survey utilizing a template provided by staff.
The allegations that existing tenants were offered incentives to move and that the
income qualifications were raised for prospective tenants are similar to statements
contained within Susan Carvalho's April 17, 2008, letter of objections submitted to the
Planning Commission. In response to these allegations, the applicant has stated that
tenants were not offered money or any other incentives to move. The applicant did
confirm that when selecting prospective tenants, the property manger routinely performs
credit investigations and requires a minimum income as standard practice to insure the
tenant can afford the monthly rent, but denies this was an attempt to preclude low and
moderate- income households from renting units. The Mello Act does state that if any
tenants are evicted within one year prior to submitting an application, it is assumed the
eviction was performed to avoid the replacement requirements of the law; however, the
two allegations in the comment letter, even if substantiated, would not constitute
evictions.
General Comment: The appellant states that the MND failed to include a review of the
financial pro forma subsequently prepared by The Natelson Dale Group (TNDG) and
that the pro forma should have been made available during the public comment period
as it provides mitigation in the form of replacement of 6 affordable units.
Response: The applicant has agreed to replace all 6 affordable units and has
committed $1.35 million to subsidizing the replacement, in accordance with the
requirements of the Mello Act. The replacement of the 6 units is not a mitigation
measure, but a requirement of State law. TNDG was hired by the City to evaluate the
reasonableness of the applicant's financial projections and the commitment of $1.35
million toward replacement housing. The TNDG analysis confirmed that the applicant
could afford to replace the units and still meet the project's feasibility criteria established
in the project's original pro forma.
General Comment: The appellant states that sufficient documentation was not
provided for the financial feasibility analysis and that staff is relying on the applicant's
word.
Seashore Village
June 10, 2008
Page 8
Response: Typically, applicants requesting the approval of a CRDP to demolish
affordable housing in the Coastal Zone argue that it is financially infeasible to provide
replacement housing, in which case staff must closely scrutinize and evaluate financial
pro formas to determine feasibility; however in this case, the applicant agreed to replace
all 6 units and will enter into an agreement with the City to insure their replacement
within 3 years from the date of demolition. Therefore, staff believes it is unnecessary to
require additional documentation for the applicant's financial pro forma as the applicant
has agreed to comply with the Mello Act replacement requirements.
General Comment: The appellant states the plans are illegible and accuracy of the
11 °x18" plans could not be verified.
Response: The appellant was given full -size plans for review at City Hall.
General Comment: The appellant states that the noise analysis contained within the
MND inadequately discussed and analyzed noise from heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning units (HVAC).
Response: Please see Attachment No 9 for a detailed response prepared by The
Planning Center for each of the appellant's specific noise comments.
General Comment: The appellant states that the applicant does not have the right to
take access from Neptune Avenue and based on information contained within the
applicant's preliminary title report, any rights that did exist were relinquished upon the
City's acceptance of the original subdivision map.
Response: The preliminary title report simply states that the property does not currently
have access to Neptune Avenue, which is accurate; however, Neptune Avenue is a
public street and the City has the authority to grant access, after which time the title
information will change accordingly.
General Comment: The appellant incorrectly refers to the private driveway through the
project site as an alley, and cites a number of City requirements related to the
construction of public and private streets, as well as concerns related to the
transition /connection of Neptune Avenue to a private alley. She also cites concerns
related to the elimination of the Neptune Avenue cul -de -sac.
Response: For clarification, access through the site is provided via a private driveway,
not an alley or street. The tentative tract map for the project incorrectly identities the
access as a private road; however all other drawings within the plans correctly identify
the access as a driveway. Prior to recordation, the final map will be revised to correctly
identify the access as a driveway. City requirements related to the construction of public
and private streets are not applicable to the proposed driveway. As stated in Response
to Comment No. C-4 to the appellant's first comment letter, Neptune Avenue is not a
cul-de -sac because it does not provide adequate turning radius for vehicles and does
Seashore Village
June 10, 2008
Page 9
not comply with City cul -de -sac standards. The Traffic Engineer has reviewed the
proposed plans and does not believe the project will negatively impact the City's right -
of -way and circulation system. Additionally, appropriate conditions of approval have
been proposed, including further review by the City Traffic Engineer, to ensure that the
final design of the driveway complies with all City requirements and Council Policy L -2
(Driveway Approaches).
General Comment: The appellant states that the Coastal Act requires maximum
access to the shoreline for the public and that new developments must provide public
access unless adequate access exists nearby. She contends that the proposed project
is removing access to the shoreline.
Response: The project site is not located adjacent to the shoreline of the Pacific Ocean
and does not currently provide any public access through the site. Adequate public
access exists around the site via the surrounding rights -of -way (i.e. River Avenue, 50
Street, Seashore Drive). In addition, the proposed development has been conditioned to
require a public pedestrian pathway through the site providing connection from River
Avenue to Seashore Drive, thereby creating new access opportunities for the public.
General Comment: The appellant states that the View Corridor Analysis prepared for
Response to Comment No. C -6 to the appellant's first comment letter was incorrectly
prepared because a conforming side yard setback should have been 37.5 feet, not 25
feet as illustrated in the exhibit.
Response: The View Corridor Analysis of the appellant's private view to the beach was
prepared to analyze how a structure that conformed to the required 25 -foot side yard
setback (along the eastern property boundary) and 20 -foot front yard setback (along
Seashore Drive) as required per the Zoning Code in the MFR Zoning District would
obstruct the current view corridor for her property. The analysis concluded that the
proposed project did not impact the appellant's private view any more than a conforming
project would. In the appellant's second comment letter, she argues that the View
Corridor Analysis was incorrectly prepared because a conforming side yard setback is
37.5 feet; however, the appellant incorrectly calculated the side yard setback. Per
Section 20.10.030(G) of the Zoning Code, side yard setbacks in the MFR zone are
based on a percentage of average lot width, provided that in no event shall a side vans
wider than 25 feet be required.
General Comment: The appellant reiterates discrepancies cited in her previous
comment letter.
Response: The response to comments prepared for the appellant's first comment letter
have addressed and corrected the discrepancies.
General Comment: The appellant provides several statements disagreeing with the
formal response to comments prepared for the appellant's first comment letter.
Seashore Village
June 10, 2008

Response: No new information has been presented that would cause staff to revise
any of the previous responses.
Summary
Although the proposed project includes a number of deviations from the MFR District
development standards, staff believes that findings necessary for project approval were
made appropriately by the Planning Commission. It is staffs conclusion that the 24 -unit
condominium project, as conditioned, would not prove detrimental to the area and will
result in a development that is compatible and consistent with the historic development of
the adjacent R -1 and R -2 properties in the immediate vicinity of the site. The objections
presented in the appellant's appeal have been provided for the City Council's
consideration and, in staffs opinion, have been adequately addressed.
Environmental Review
A MND has been prepared by The Planning Center for the proposed project in
accordance with the implementing guidelines of the California Environmental Quality
Act. The MND is attached as Attachment 10. The MND identifies five (5) issue areas
with 6 mitigation measures. Those issues are: Air Quality, Cultural Resources, Geology
and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, and Noise.
The MND was circulated for public review between February 21 and March 21, 2008.
Comments were received from the Southern California Gas Company, Native American
Heritage Commission, Lennie DeCaro, California Department of Transportation, and
Department of Toxic Control Substances. Unlike an Environmental Impact Report where
formal response to comments must be prepared, comments received on a draft MND
must only be considered by the approving body and kept on file; however, formal
responses were prepared for each of the comment letters received during the public
comment period (Attachment 8). Adoption of the MND by the City Council after public
hearing is required prior to approval of the requested applications.

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. As previously discussed, all mandatory
notices for the environmental assessment have been given per the implementing
guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act. Additionally, the item appeared
upon the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the city website.

City Council Resolution No.
Page 2 of 25
WHEREAS, the Land Use Element of the General Plan sets forth objectives,
policies and limitations for development in the City and designates the general
distribution and location of land uses and residential and commercial densities. The
Land Use Element designates the project site as Multiple -Unit Residential (RM) with a
maximum development limit of 51 dwelling units. The RM designation is intended to
provide primarily for multi- family residential development and for development containing
attached or detached dwelling units. The proposed subdivision is consistent with this
designation; and
WHEREAS, the proposed subdivision is consistent with Land Use Policy 5.1.9
that requires multi- family dwellings be designed to convey a high quality architectural
character. The project has been designed to be compatible with the development
pattern and character of the surrounding neighborhood, which generally consists of two -
and three -story, single -unit and two -unit dwellings. Each unit will feature either a
"Craftsman" or "Plantation" architectural style. Architectural details and enhancements
(i.e. batt and board wood siding, louvered window shutters, decorative trim, and stone
veneer) will be provided on all building elevations. The 2 "d floor facades are setback
from the 15c floor on the rear elevations and cantilevered over the 15c floor on the front
elevations, providing articulation and modulation to the building mass. The 3`d floor of
each building is setback from the front and rear elevations, towards the interior portion
of each building envelope, to reduce the visual mass of the structures as viewed from
the streets; and
WHEREAS, the proposed subdivision is consistent with Land Use Policy 6.2.9
that requires open space and recreational facilities to be integrated into and preserved
in private residential development. A majority of the units have been designed with
small (approx. 300 sq. ft.) front patio areas, which are comparable in size to the outdoor
living areas of the surrounding residential development within the neighborhood. All
units are provided useable and functional 2nd level and 3`d level deck spaces (ranging
between 48 and 154 sq. ft.). West Newport Park, an active recreational park, is located
immediately west of the project site and the beach is located approximately 120 feet
south of the site; both the park and the beach will provide additional recreational
opportunities. A condition of project approval has been included that prohibits any floor
area additions to the approved building envelopes, which will preserve open patio and
deck areas proposed for each unit and the common landscaped and open space areas;
and
WHEREAS, the Housing Element of the General Plan sets forth goals and
policies to facilitate the attainment of the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocations and
to foster the availability of affordable housing to all income levels to the greatest extent
feasible. The demolition of the older, non - conforming, 54 -unit apartment complex and
development of 24 condominiums, will result in a total reduction of 30 dwelling units. As
discussed in the Population and Housing section of the Initial Study prepared for the
project, there are approximately 43,851 housing units in the City, of which
approximately 5,462 units are vacant. The rental vacancy rate is estimated at 7.7
1�
City Council Resolution No. _
Page 3 of 25
percent with approximately 3,337 rental units vacant (American Community Survey
2006). Therefore, the reduction and change in housing type is not considered
significant, as there are sufficient existing rental units available to absorb the displaced
rental units. Additionally, Housing Program 1.1.3 requires the replacement of housing
demolished within the Coastal Zone when housing is, or has been, occupied by low -
income or moderate - income households. A total of 6 rental units have been identified to
have been occupied by low- income and moderate - income households, which the
applicant will be required to replace at an off -site location with restrictions to maintain
their affordability for a minimum of 30 years; and
WHEREAS, the Coastal Land Use Plan (CLUP) of the Local Coastal Program sets
forth goals, objectives, and policies that govern the use of land and water in the coastal
zone and addresses land use and development, public access and recreation, and coastal
resources protection in accordance with the California Coastal Act. The proposed
subdivision is consistent with the CLUP for the following reasons:
1. The subject property is located within an existing developed area of the coastal
zone and the proposed project density of 16.1 units per acre is below the maximum
density limit of 30 units per acre established for the RH -A designation of the CLUP.
2. Public services and infrastructure are currently available and serve the proposed
development (8" sewer and water lines are located in both the Seashore Drive and
River Avenue rights -of -way), and all applicable improvements required by Section
19.28 (Subdivision Improvements) of the Subdivision Code are required to be
constructed by the applicant.
3. The proposed development has been designed to comply with all applicable Multi -
Family Residential (MFR) development regulations of the City's Zoning Code,
including density, floor area, open space, and parking, to insure design
compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. Although deviations from the
required setbacks and the base height limit are proposed, these deviations will not
result in a site plan that is inconsistent with the character and development pattern
of the surrounding residential neighborhood.
4. The proposed project will not impact coastal resources nor the ability of the public
to reach, use or view the shoreline of coastal waters or inland coastal recreation
areas and trails.
5. The project includes 63 parking spaces, which exceeds the minimum parking
requirements of the Zoning Code.
6. Gated vehicular access is prohibited, and as a result, the internal roadway will
provide unrestricted vehicular access through the project from River Avenue and
Neptune Avenue and will not inhibit public access to the beach.

7. The project site is not located near the vicinity of a designated public view point
or coastal view road requiring view protection and will not impact any public
views or degrade the visual qualities of the coastal zone.
WHEREAS, subject property is located within the Multi - Family Residential (MFR)
Zoning District . The proposed detached, single -unit and two -unit residential structures
are permitted uses within this zoning designation. With the exception of the increased
setback encroachments, reduction in the minimum distance between buildings, and
building height increase, all of the applicable development regulations of the MFR
zoning regulations have been met; and
WHEREAS, Section 20.93.030 (Modification Permits) of the Newport Beach
Municipal Code requires findings and facts in support of such findings for approval of a
modification permit for the encroachments into the required 20 -foot front yard setbacks
and 25 -foot side yard setbacks, and deviation from the minimum 10 -foot building
separation. Such findings and facts to support such findings are as follows:
1. Finding: The granting of the application is necessary due to practical difficulties
associated with the property and that the strict application of the Zoning Code
results in physical hardships that are inconsistent with the purpose and intent of
the Zoning Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
a. While the MFR District permits the proposed single -unit and two -unit
residences, the development setback and building separation standards were
intended to apply to larger, multiple -unit buildings, such as the 3 -story, 54 -unit
apartment building that exists on -site today. The legislative intent of required
setbacks is to ensure adequate light, air, privacy and open space for each
dwelling unit. Given that a larger, single structure building would result in more
visual and physical massing, a larger setback would be preferred for that
development type.
b. The applicant has proposed 24 single -unit and two -unit residences designed to
appear as if they were situated on individual 30- foot -wide lots and setbacks
comparable to surrounding R -1 and R -2 lots. Utilizing the R -1 and R -2
development standards as a guide for determining acceptable setbacks and
building separation is appropriate in this case.
c. Given that the MFR District permits the proposed detached development, but
doesn't provide corresponding development standards, strict application of the
Code would result in a physical hardship that is inconsistent with the intent of
the Code.

City Council Resolution No.
Page 5 of 25
2. Finding: The requested modification will be compatible with the existing
development in the neighborhood.
Facts in Support of Finding: The proposed project has been designed to appear
as if each unit is situated on a 30- foot -wide lot with setbacks comparable to the
surrounding R -1 and R -2 lots. Those reductions in the setbacks and building
separation to accommodate the smaller detached, residential units arguably results
in a site plan that is more compatible and consistent with the historic development
pattern of the area rather than a single, larger apartment - complex. The following
facts support compatibility of the proposed project with the existing neighborhood:
a. R -1, R -2, and 30 to 40400t -wide MFR lots only require 3 to 4 -foot side yard
setbacks. The proposed 6 -foot separation between buildings within the project
is consistent with the required 3 -foot side yard setbacks of many of the 30 -foot
wide lots in the surrounding neighborhood, which results in a total distance of 6
feet between buildings.
The proposed project is designed to appear as if each unit is situated on a 30-
foot -wide lot, the setbacks provided to the east property line are consistent and
compatible with the required 3 -foot side yard setbacks of the surrounding 30-
foot and 40- foot -wide lots in the neighborhood. The single -unit building fronting
Seashore Drive that is proposed to encroach 21 feet into the required side yard
setback adjacent to the east property line will maintain a 4 -foot setback. The
duplex unit fronting River Avenue that encroaches 17.5 feet into the required
side yard setback adjacent to east property line will maintain a 7.5 -foot setback.
c. The 6 single -unit structures adjacent to West Newport Park are proposed to
encroach 15 feet into the required side yard setback, maintaining a 10 -foot
setback to the property line. Due to the orientation of these units, this setback
area is equivalent to their front yards and is consistent with the majority of the
front yard setbacks in the immediate vicinity of this project that range between 0
and 10 feet.
The 6 units fronting Seashore Drive are proposed to encroach 10 feet into the
required 20 -foot setback, maintaining a 10 -foot setback to the property line. The
proposed 10 -foot setback exceeds the required 0 to 5 -foot front yard setbacks
that are required on a majority of the properties fronting Seashore Avenue in the
immediate vicinity of this project.
e. The 6 duplex structures and 1 single -unit structure adjacent to River Avenue are
proposed to encroach between 5 and 10 feet into the required 20 -foot setback,
maintaining a minimum 10 to 15 -foot setback to the property line. These
proposed setbacks are consistent with, or exceed, the required 5 to 10 -foot front
yard setbacks that are required on a majority of the other existing properties
fronting River Avenue in the immediate vicinity of this project.

3. Finding: The granting of such an application will not adversely affect the health or
safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the property and will
not be detrimental to the general welfare or injurious to property or improvements
in the neighborhood.
Facts in Support of Finding:
a. The project has been designed to include setbacks comparable to the setback
requirements of the surrounding R -1 and R -2 lots. Similar setback and
distancing requirements are common throughout the City and have not proven
detrimental.
b. To minimize the impact of building heights on the neighboring R -2 properties, a
condition of project approval has been included requiring the two structures that
encroach into the side yard setback area immediately adjacent to the east
property line to incorporate hip roof features.
WHEREAS, the site is located in the 28132 -foot height limitation zone that
permits buildings and structures to exceed the 28 -foot height limit up to a maximum of
32 -feet through the approval of a use permit. Ridges of pitched roofs are permitted to
exceed the height limit by 5 additional feet. The proposed project exceeds the 28 -foot
base height limit. The proposed roof midpoints of the 6 duplex buildings are at 28 feet 10
inches, as measured from the finished pad elevation. The ridges of the buildings are
comforming with a height of approximately 31 feet 4 inches measured from the finished
pad elevation. Section 20.65.055 of the Zoning Code requires the Planning Commission
to make certain mandatory findings in order to approve a use permit to exceed the base
height limit. Such findings and facts to support such findings are as follows:
1. Finding: The increased building height would result in more public visual open
space and views than is required by the basic height limit in any zone. Particular
attention shall be given to the location of the structure on the lot, the percentage
of ground cover, and the treatment of all setback and open areas.
Facts in Support of Finding:
a. The 6 duplex units that are proposed to exceed the 28 -foot base height limit
have been designed with low- pitched gable roof lines, resulting in a maximum
midpoint elevation of 28 feet 10 inches (10 inches over the maximum limit)
and a maximum ridge elevation of 31 feet 4 inches (1 foot 8 inches under the
maximum ridge limit).
b. A conforming roof plan can easily be accomplished by designing a taller
structure with longer roof spans, thereby lowering the midpoint below the 28-
foot limit. This quirk in the City's method of measuring roof midpoints results
�p
City Council Resolution No. _
Page 7 of 25
in conforming roof midpoints but increases the overall height of the building to
the maximum 33 -foot ridge limit. Therefore, the 10 -inch height increase to the
midpoint allowance actually results in a 1 -foot 8 inch overall height reduction
of the proposed buildings, resulting in increased public visual open space and
views than could otherwise be afforded with a conforming roof plan.
c. A single, large multiple -unit building that conforms to the minimum setbacks
and maximum height could be constructed, which would likely result in a more
visually massive and bulky structure. Such a project could result in a 63
percent total maximum lot coverage. The proposed project, with 18 smaller
detached single -unit and two -unit structures results in a substantially smaller
36 percent lot coverage. This reduction in lot coverage not only increases the
public visual open space and view opportunities through the site, but also
allows for increased landscaping of the site, which is proposed at 28 percent
of the lot (the existing development of the site provides only 14.4 percent
landscaping).
2. Finding: The increased building height would result in a more desirable
architectural treatment of the building and a stronger and more appealing visual
character of the area than is required by the basic height limit in any zone.
Facts in Support of Finding:
a. The low- pitched gable roof lines result in building heights that are generally
more compatible with the heights and architectural styles of the development
in the surrounding neighborhood.
b. The design of a conforming roof plan results in increased overall building
heights and visual massing as viewed from the street elevation and also
results in less desirable architectural treatment of the side elevations, with
more drastic roof lines that are less visually appealing.
3. Finding: The increased building height would not result in undesirable or abrupt
scale relationships being created between the structure and existing
developments or public spaces. Particular attention shall be given to the total
bulk of the structure including both horizontal and vertical dimensions.
Facts in Support of Finding:
a. The proposed street facing elevations will be scaled down by concentrating
the highest portions of the building mass away from the street frontages.
Through this design, the front and rear masses of the buildings are minimized
and allow more light and ventilation to the immediate neighbors.
P
City Council Resolution No. _
Page 8 of 25
b. With the exception of the existing R -2 properties to the east, the project site is
separated from other uses by River Avenue, Seashore Drive, and the West
Newport Park. This separation, in conjunction with the design of the buildings
to limit the bulk and mass of the third floor to the center of the lots, eliminates
any undesirable or abrupt scale relationships between the project and existing
developments.
c. A condition of approval has been included to minimize the impact of building
heights on the neighboring R -2 properties, requiring the roofs of the two
structures that encroach into the side yard setback area, immediately adjacent
to the east property line, to slope away from the R -2 properties with use of hip
roof features.
4. Finding: The structure shall have no more floor area than could have been
achieved without the use permit.
Facts in Support of Finding:
a. The proposed floor area ratio for the project is 1.23 FAR, which is below the
maximum of 1.75 FAR; therefore the project does not achieve any additional
floor area due to the additional height.
b. The additional allowance in height only affects roof lines and results in an
architecturally superior product than would be achieved through a roof design
that conforms to the height limit.
WHEREAS, the applicant is requesting the approval of a tentative tract map, for
condominium purposes, to create 24 airspace condominium units Pursuant to Section
19.12.070 of the City Subdivision Code, certain findings and facts in support of such
findings shall be made for approval of a tentative tract map. Such findings and facts to
support such findings are as follows:
1. Finding: That the proposed map and the design or improvements of the
subdivision are consistent with General Plan and any applicable specific plan,
and with the applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and the City
Subdivision Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
a. The project is consistent with the Multiple Unit Residential General Plan
designation of the site.
b. The Public Works Department has reviewed the proposed tentative map and
believes it is consistent with the Newport Beach Subdivision Code (Title 19)
and applicable requirements of the Subdivision Map Act.
a?-
City Council Resolution No.
Page 9 of 25
c. Conditions of approval have been included to ensure compliance with Title
19.
2. Finding: That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of
development.
Facts in Support of Finding:
a. The existing site is entirely developed and does not support any environmental
resources.
b. The site is relatively flat and based on the geologic investigation performed for
the site, no signs of unstable or expansive soils are evident, nor is the site
subject to erosion.
c. The geologic investigation revealed that the underlying soil of the site has a
significant liquefaction potential if subject to heavy vibration; however, mitigation
measures have been incorporated, as recommended by the site- specific
geotechnical investigation, that will reduce impacts to a less than significant
level.
d. The site is currently developed with multiple - family dwelling units at a density
greater than that proposed.
3. Finding: That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not
likely to cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the
decision - making body may nevertheless approve such a subdivision if an
environmental impact report was prepared for the project and a finding was made
pursuant to Section 21081 of the California Environmental Quality Act that
specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation
measures or project alternatives identified in the environmental impact report.
Facts in Support of Finding: A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared
and concludes that no significant environmental impacts will result with proposed
development of the site in accordance with the proposed subdivision map.
4. Finding: That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not
likely to cause serious public health problems.
Facts in Support of Finding:
a. The project consists of 24 residential units as permitted by the Zoning Code and
the General Plan.
a3
City Council Resolution No.
Page 10 of 25
b. No evidence is known to exist that would indicate that the planned subdivision
pattern will generate any serious public health problems.
c. All mitigation measures will be implemented as outlined in the Mitigated
Negative Declaration to ensure the protection of the public health.
5. Finding: That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not
conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or
use of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the decision -
making body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access
or for use, will be provided and that these easements will be substantially
equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This finding shall apply only
to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to the City Council to
determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or
use of property within a subdivision.
Facts in Support of Finding:
a. An easement through the site will be retained by the City to ensure access
rights for public emergency and security ingress /egress, public utility
purposes, and weekly trash pick -up.
b. A 6 -foot sidewalk easement currently exists along the Seashore Drive
frontage and the applicant is required to construct full -width sidewalks.
No other public easements for access through or use of the property have
been retained for use by the public at large.
Public utility easements for utility connections that serve the project site are
present and will be modified, if necessary, to serve the proposed project.
6. Finding: That, subject to the detailed provisions of Section 66474.4 of the
Subdivision Map Act, if the land is subject to a contract entered into pursuant to
the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act), the resulting
parcels following a subdivision of the land would not be too small to sustain their
agricultural use or the subdivision will result in residential development incidental
to the commercial agricultural use of the land.
Facts in Support of Finding: The site is not subject to a Williamson Act contract.
Finding: That, in the case of a `land project' as defined in Section 11000.5 of the
California Business and Professions Code: (a) there is an adopted specific plan
for the area to be included within the land project; and (b) the decision - making
�A
City Council Resolution No. _
Page 11 of 25
body finds that the proposed land project is consistent with the specific plan for
the area.
Facts in Support of Finding: The subject property is not located within the
boundaries of a specific plan.
8. Finding: That solar access and passive heating and cooling design requirements
have been satisfied in accordance with Sections 66473.1 and 66475.3 of the
Subdivision Map Act.
Facts in Support of Finding:
a. Title 24 of the Uniform Building Code requires new construction to meet
minimum heating and cooling efficiency standards depending on location and
climate.
The Newport Beach Building Department will enforce Title 24 compliance
through the plan check and field inspection processes for the construction of
any future proposed residences.
9. Finding: That the subdivision is consistent with Section 66412.3 of the
Subdivision Map Act and Section 65584 of the California Government Code
regarding the City's share of the regional housing need and that it balances the
housing needs of the region against the public service needs of the City's
residents and available fiscal and environmental resources.
Facts in Support of Finding:
To compensate for the demolition of 6 units currently occupied by persons of
lower or moderate income, the applicant will be required to replace the units
at an off -site location within the City for a minimum period of 30 years.
b. Public services are available to serve the proposed development of the site
and the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project indicates that
the project's potential environmental impacts are expected to be less than
significant.
10. Finding: That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the
existing sewer system will not result in a violation of existing requirements
prescribed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Facts in Support of Finding:
�-5
City Council Resolution No.
Page 12 of 25
a. Waste discharge into the existing sewer system will be consistent with the
existing residential use of the property and does not violate Regional Water
Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements.
b. Sewer connections have been conditioned to be installed per City Standards,
the applicable provisions of Chapter 14.24 (Sewer Connection, Permits), and
the latest revision of the Uniform Plumbing Code.
11. Finding: For subdivisions lying partly or wholly within the Coastal Zone, that the
subdivision conforms with the certified Local Coastal Program and, where
applicable, with public access and recreation policies of Chapter Three of the
Coastal Act.
Facts in Support of Finding:
a. The project has been designed and conditioned for consistency with the City's
Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan.
b. The project site is not located adjacent to the shoreline of the Pacific Ocean
and is not presently developed with coastal - related uses, coastal - dependent
uses or water - oriented recreational uses.
WHEREAS, Chapter 20.86 of the Zoning Code (Low and Moderate Income
Housing within the Coastal Zone) requires the processing of a coastal residential
development permit (CRDP) to ensure compliance with Government Code Section
65590 (commonly known as the 1982 Mellow Act). The Mellow Act prohibits the City
from approving the demolition or conversion of existing housing units occupied by low -
or moderate- income households located within the Coastal Zone, unless provisions are
made for their replacement with new affordable units. If feasible, all or any portion of the
replacement units must be located on the site of the demolished structure or elsewhere
in the Coastal Zone. If location on -site or within the Coastal Zone is not feasible, the
units must be located within three miles of the Coastal Zone's inland boundary; and
WHEREAS, based on an income survey performed in June of 2007 by the Las
Brisas property manager, Allen Properties, it was determined that a total of 6 units in the
existing apartment complex are occupied by low- and moderate - income households. It
has been determined to be feasible for the applicant to commit $1.35 million which the
applicant will use to provide a minimum of 6 affordable housing units at an off -site
location, or locations, for a minimum period of 30 years; and
WHEREAS, an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) have
been prepared in compliance with the Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State
CEQA Guidelines; and, City Council Policy K -3. The Draft MND was circulated for public
comment between February 21 and March 21, 2008. Comments were received from the
Southern California Gas Company, Native American Heritage Commission, Lennie
J�D
City Council Resolution No.
Page 13 of 25
DeCaro, California Department of Transportation, and Department of Toxic Control
Substances. The contents of the environmental document, including comments on the
document, have been considered in the various decisions on this project; 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. Additionally,
there are no long -term environmental goals that would be compromised by the project,
nor cumulative impacts anticipated in connection with the project. The mitigation
measures identified and incorporated in the Mitigated Monitoring and Reporting
Program are feasible and reduce potential environmental impacts to a less than
significant level; 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, attomeys' fees, and damages which
may be awarded to a successful challenger; and
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
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 Mitigated Negative Declaration
reflects the City Council's independent judgment and analysis. The City Council hereby
adopts Mitigated Negative Declaration SCH No. 2008 - 021075, including the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program attached as Exhibit "A ". 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 Tentative Tract Map No. 2007 -001, Modification Permit No. 2007 -044, Use
Permit No. 2007 -011 & Coastal Residential Development Permit No. 2007 -001, all subject
to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit "B" attached hereto and made hereof.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Site Description
The 1.49 -acre site is relatively flat and trapezoidal in shape. A three -story, 54,739
square -foot, 54 -unit apartment building (Las Brisas Apartments) currently occupies the
site. Carports exist on the first level of the apartment building and 4 carport canopies
exist at the perimeter of the site. A swimming pool, private common area, and planters
also exist on -site. The site is currently accessed via two driveways on River Avenue.
Access from and to Seashore Drive is blocked by a wooden fence.
Project Description
The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing 54 -unit apartment complex and
construct 12 detached, single -unit residential structures and 6 detached, two -unit
(duplex) residential structures, for a total of 24 units (Exhibit 2, Project Plans). The 12
single -unit structures would front onto Seashore Drive and onto West Newport Park.
The 6 duplex structures front onto River Avenue. The proposed architecture consists of
two styles, "Craftsman" and "Plantation ". Three floor plans are proposed: Plan A (3,248
sq. ft.), Plan B (2,797 sq. ft.), and Plan C (Unit A- 1,836 sq. ft.; Unit B- 1,770 sq. ft.).
Each unit would be three - stories in height, with overall roof heights ranging in height
from 31 feet to 31 feet -6 inches.
Access to the project site would be provided via two driveways on River Avenue and
one driveway from Neptune Avenue. The western driveway on River Avenue would
exclusively serve one single -unit structure, and all other vehicular access would be
provided through a driveway connecting Neptune Avenue to River Avenue. A total of 63
parking spaces are proposed: 24 dedicated residential spaces in garages and carports;
and, 15 open guest spaces.
ANALYSIS
The General Plan
Land Use Element
The Land Use Element of the General Plan sets forth objectives, policies and limitations
for development in the City and designates the general distribution and location of land
uses and residential and commercial densities. The Land Use Element designates the
project site as Multiple -Unit Residential (RM) with a maximum development limit of 51
dwelling units. The RM designation is intended to provide primarily for multi - family
residential development containing attached or detached dwelling units. The proposed
subdivision is consistent with this designation. The following Land Use Element policies
and programs were considered relative to the proposed development:
Seashore Village
March 20, 2008
Page 4
LU 5.1.9 Character and Quality of Mufti - Family Residential
Require that multi - family dwellings be designed to convey a high quality architectural character in
accordance with the following:
Building Elevations
• Treatment of the elevations of buildings facing public streets and pedestrian ways as the principal
fagades with respect to architectural treatment to achieve the highest level of urban design and
neighborhood quality.
• Architectural treatment of building elevations and modulation of mass to convey the character of
separate living units or clusters of living units, avoiding the appearance of a singular building
volume.
• Provide street- and path- facing elevations with high- quality doors, windows, moldings, metalwork,
and finishes.
Roof Design
• Modulate roof profiles to reduce the apparent scale of large structures and to provide visual
interest and variety.
The proposed residential development has been designed to be compatible with the
development pattern and character of the surrounding neighborhood, which generally
consists of two- and three -story, single -unit and two -unit dwellings. Each unit will feature
either a "Craftsman" or "Plantation" architectural style. Architectural details and
enhancements (i.e. batt and board wood siding, louvered window shutters, decorative
trim, and stone veneer) will be provided on all building elevations. The 2nd floor facades
are setback from the 1st floor on the rear elevations and cantilevered over the 1St floor
on the front elevations, providing articulation and modulation to the building mass. The
Td floor of each building is setback from the front and rear elevations, towards the
interior portion of each building envelope, to reduce the visual mass of the structures as

A majority of the units have been designed with small (approx. 300 sq. ft.) front patio
areas, which are comparable in size to the outdoor living areas of the surrounding
residential development within the neighborhood. Six units (Unit B of Plan C) do not
provide front patio areas. All units are provided useable and functional 2nd level and 3'd
level deck spaces (ranging between 48 — 154 sq. ft.). Although the project will provide
more landscaping and lawn areas than currently exist on -site, no common recreational
amenities are provided. It should be noted, however, that the West Newport Park, an
active recreational park, is located immediately west of the project site and the beach is
located approximately 120 feet south of the site; both the park and the beach will
provide additional recreational opportunities. A proposed condition of project approval
prohibits any floor area additions to the approved building envelopes, which will
preserve open patio and deck areas proposed for each unit and the common
landscaped and open space areas.
CU 6.2.10 Gated Communities
Discourage the creation of new private entry gates in existing residential neighborhoods that currently
do not have a gate located at the entrance of the community.
A condition of approval has also been included that will prohibit the use of private gates.
Housing Element
The Housing Element of the General Plan sets forth goals and policies to. facilitate the
attainment of the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocations and to foster the
availability of affordable housing to all income levels to the greatest extent feasible. The
following General Plan Housing Element policies and programs were considered
relative to the proposed development:
H 1.1 Support all reasonable efforts to preserve, maintain, and improve availability and quality
of existing housing and residential neighborhoods, and ensure full utilization of existing City housing
resources for as long into the future as physically and economically feasible.
H 2.1 Encourage preservation of existing and provision of new housing affordable to very low,
low- and moderate income households.
The demolition of the older, non - conforming, 54 -unit apartment complex and
development of 24 condominiums, will result in a total reduction of 30 dwelling units. As
discussed in the Population and Housing section of the Initial Study prepared for the
project, there are approximately 43,851 housing units in the City, of which
approximately 5,462 units are vacant. The rental vacancy rate is estimated at 7.7
percent with approximately 3,337 rental units vacant (American Community Survey
2006). Therefore, the reduction and change in housing type is not considered
significant, as there are sufficient existing rental units available to absorb the displaced
rental units.
Housing Program 1.1.3 implements Housing Policy H 1.1 and requires the replacement
of housing demolished within the Coastal Zone when housing is, or has been, occupied
nA

by low- income or moderate - income households. As discussed in more detail in the
Coastal Residential Development Permit section of this report, a total of 6 rental units
have been identified to have been occupied by low- income and moderate - income
households, which the applicant will be required to replace at an off -site location with
restrictions to maintain their affordability for a minimum of 30 years.
Local Coastal Program
The Coastal Land Use Plan of (CLUP) the Local Coastal Program sets forth goals,
objectives, and policies that govern the use of land and water in the coastal zone within
the City and addresses land use and development, public access and recreation, and
coastal resource protection in accordance with the California Coastal Act. The project
site is designated for High Density Residential (RH -A 20.1 - 30 DU /AC). The proposed
subdivision is consistent with this designation as the proposed project density is 16.1
d.u. /acre. The following CLUP policies were considered relative to the proposed
development:
Location of New Development
2.2.1 -1 Continue to allow redevelopment and infill development within and adjacent to the existing
developed areas in the coastal zone subject to the density and intensity limits and resource
protection policies of the Coastal Land Use Plan-
2- Z 1-2 Require new development be located in areas with adequate public services or in areas that
are capable of having public services extended or expanded without significant adverse
effects on coastal resources.
The subject property is located within an existing developed area of the coastal zone and
the proposed project density of 16.1 units per acre is below the maximum density limit of
30 units per acre established for the RH -A designation of the CLUP. Public services and
infrastructure are currently available and serve the proposed development (8" sewer and
water lines are located in both the Seashore Drive and River Avenue rights -of -way), and
all applicable improvements required by Section 19.28 (Subdivision Improvements) of the
Subdivision Code are required to be constructed by the applicant. Such improvements
include sidewalk construction, street tree plantings, sewer and water connections, utility
undergrounding, and a fire hydrant.
Residential Development
2.7 -1. Continue to maintain appropriate setbacks and density, floor area, and height limits for
residential development to protect the character of established neighborhoods and to
protect coastal access and coastal resources.
As discussed in more detail within the Zoning Compliance section of this report, the
proposed development has been designed to comply with all applicable Multi - Family
Residential (MFR) development regulations of the City's Zoning Code, including density,
floor area, open space, and parking, to insure design compatibility with the surrounding
Seashore Village
March 20, 2008
Page 7
neighborhood. Although deviations from the required setbacks and the base height limit
are proposed, these deviations will not result in a site plan that is inconsistent with the
character and development pattern of the surrounding residential neighborhood. The
proposed project will not impact coastal resources nor the ability of the public to reach, use
or view the shoreline of coastal waters or inland coastal recreation areas and trails.
Parking
2.9.3 -2. Continue to require all development shall provide adequate off - street parking to serve -the
approved use in order to minimize impacts to public on- street and off - street parking
available for coastal access.
2.9.3 -5 Continue to require off - street parking in new development to have adequate dimensions,
clearances, and access to insure their use.
The parking requirement for multiple - family residential development is two spaces per
unit, including one covered, plus 0.5 spaces per unit for guest parking for developments
of four or more units. The proposed project includes 48 spaces for the residents and 12
spaces for guest parking. The 63 spaces (3 extra guest spaces) proposed exceed the
minimum parking requirements of the Zoning Code. The project is conditioned to meet
all City requirements regarding parking design standards, including minimum widths,
depths, grades, and aisle- turning radii.
Private /Gated Communities
3.1.5 -1 Prohibit new development that incorporate gates, guardhouses, barriers or other
structures designed to regulate or restrict access where they would inhibit public access
to and along the shoreline and to beaches, coastal parks, trails, or coastal bluffs.
3.1.5 -2 Prohibit new private streets, or the conversion of public streets to private streets, where
such a conversion would inhibit public access to and along the shoreline and to beaches,
coastal parks, trails, or coastal bluffs.
The applicant has agreed to eliminate gated access that was originally proposed for the
project. As a result, the proposed private driveway will provide unrestricted vehicular
access through the project from River Avenue and Neptune Avenue. This design will not
inhibit public access to the beach.
Scenic and Visual Resources
Policies 4.4.1 -1 through 4.4.2 -3 of the Coastal Land Use Plan pertain to the design of
structures to protect public coastal views and preserve or enhance the visual qualities of
the coastal zone. The project site is not located near the vicinity of a designated public
view point or coastal view road requiring view protection and will not impact any public
views.

Modification Request
The requested encroachments into the required 20 -foot front yard setbacks and 25 -foot
side yard setbacks, and deviation from the minimum 10 -foot building separation
requirement, require a modification permit, which may be approved if the findings
contained within Section 20.93.030 of the Municipal Code can be made as follows:
,�a
Seashore Village

1. The granting of the application is necessary due to practical difficulties
associated with the property and that the strict application of the Zoning Code
results in physical hardships that are inconsistent with the purpose and intent of
the Zoning Code.
While the MFR District permits the proposed single -unit and two -unit residences, the
development setback and building separation standards were intended to apply to
larger, multiple -unit buildings, such as the 3 -story, 54 -unit apartment building that exists
on -site today. The legislative intent of required setbacks is to ensure adequate light, air,
privacy and open space for each dwelling unit. Given that a larger, single structure building
would result in more visual and physical massing, a larger setback would be preferred for
that development type.
The applicant has proposed 24 single -unit and two -unit residences designed to appear as
if they were situated on individual 30- foot -wide lots and setbacks comparable to
surrounding R -1 and R -2 lots. Staff believes that utilizing the R -1 and R -2 development
standards as a guide for determining acceptable setbacks and building separation is
appropriate in this case. Given that the MFR District permits proposed detached
development, but doesn't provide corresponding development standards, strict application
of the Code would result in a physical hardship that is inconsistent with the intent of the
Code.
2. The requested modification will be compatible with the existing development in
the neighborhood.
The proposed project has been designed to appear as if each unit is situated on a 30-
foot -wide lot with setbacks comparable to the surrounding R -1 and R -2 lots. Those
reductions in the setbacks and building separation to accommodate the smaller detached,
residential units arguably results in a site plan that is more compatible and consistent with
the historic development pattern of the area rather than a single, larger apartment -
complex. The following facts support compatibility of the proposed project with the existing
neighborhood:
• R -1, R -2, and MFR lots only require 3 to 4 -foot side yard setbacks. The proposed 6-
foot separation between buildings within the project is consistent with the required
3 -foot side yard setbacks of many of the 30 -foot wide lots in the surrounding
neighborhood, which results in a total distance of 6 feet between buildings.
• The proposed project is designed to appear as if each unit is situated on a 30 -foot-
wide lot, the setbacks provided to the east property line are consistent and
compatible with the required 3 -foot side yard setbacks of the surrounding 30 -foot
and 40- foot -wide lots in the neighborhood. The single -unit building fronting
Seashore Drive that is proposed to encroach 21 feet into the required side yard
setback adjacent to the east property line will maintain a 4 -foot setback. The duplex
tj `
Seashore Village
March 20, 2008
Page 10
unit fronting River Avenue that encroaches 17.5 feet into the required side yard
setback adjacent to east property line will maintain a 7.5 -foot setback.
• The 6 single -unit structures adjacent to West Newport Park are proposed to
encroach 15 feet into the required side yard setback, maintaining a 10 -foot setback
to the property line. Due to the orientation of these units, this setback area is
equivalent to their front yards and is consistent with the majority of the front yard
setbacks in the immediate vicinity of this project that range between'0 and 10 feet
(Exhibit 3, Districting Map).
• The 6 units fronting Seashore Drive are proposed to encroach 10 feet into the
required 20 -foot setback, maintaining a 10 -foot setback to the property line. The
proposed 10 -foot setback exceeds the required 0 to 5 -foot front yard setbacks that
are required on a majority of the properties fronting Seashore Avenue in the
immediate vicinity of this project.
• The 6 duplex structures and 1 single -unit structure adjacent to River Avenue are
proposed to encroach between 5 and 10 feet into the required 20 -foot setback,
maintaining a minimum 10 to 15 -foot setback to the property line. These proposed
setbacks are consistent with, or exceed, the required 5 to 10 -foot front yard
setbacks that are required on a majority of the other existing properties fronting
River Avenue in the immediate vicinity of this project.
3. The granting of such an application will not adversely affect the health or safety
of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the property and will not be
detrimental to the general welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the
neighborhood.
As presented in discussion above for Finding No. 2, the project has been designed to
include setbacks comparable to the setback requirements of the surrounding R -1 and R -2
lots. Similar setback and distancing requirements are common throughout the City and
have not proven detrimental.
Although staff believes the proposed setbacks of the project are compatible with the
development patter in the immediate vicinity of this project, it should be noted that
buildings on neighboring R-1 and R -2 lots are limited to a maximum height of 24 feet (24
feet midpoint/29 feet ridge). The proposed project however, is located within the MFR
District, and benefits from an increased height limit of 28 feet (28 feet midpoint/33 feet
ridge). Based on the rationale that the proposed detached, single -unit and two -unit
structures have been designed to conform to the setback requirements of the surrounding
R -1 and R -2 lots in the neighborhood and, therefore, warrant deviation from the MFR
setback regulations, staff recommends the following condition of project approval:
M'
Seashore Village
March 20, 2008
Page 11
Condition No. 7 The two structures that encroach into the side yard setback area
immediately adjacent to the east property line shall be modified in
height to conform to the 24 -foot base height limit.
This modification will result in an approximate 2 -foot reduction in ridge height and will
ensure complete compatibility with the development standards of the neighboring R -2
units. With this condition, staff believes sufficient facts exist to support the required
findings to approve the requested setback encroachments and reduced building
separations.
Use Permit for Increased Height
The site is located in the 28/32 -foot height limitation zone that permits buildings and
structures to exceed the 28 -foot height limit up to a maximum of 32 -feet through the
approval of a use permit. Ridges of pitched roofs are permitted to exceed the height
limit by 5 additional feet.
The proposed project exceeds the 28 -foot base height limit. The proposed roof midpoints
of the 6 duplex buildings are at 28 feet 10 inches, as measured from the finished pad
elevation. The ridges of the buildings are comforming with a height of approximately 31
feet 4 inches measured from the finished pad elevation.
Section 20.65.055 of the Zoning Code requires the Planning Commission to make
certain mandatory findings in order to approve a use permit to exceed the base height
limit. These findings and the facts in support of these findings are discussed below:
I. The increased building height would result in more public visual open space and
views than is required by the basic height limit in any zone. Particular attention
shall be given to the location of the structure on the lot, the percentage of ground
cover, and the treatment of all setback and open areas.
The 6 duplex units that are proposed to exceed the 28 -foot base height limit have been
designed with low- pitched gable roof lines, resulting in a maximum midpoint elevation of
28 feet 10 inches (10 inches over the maximum limit) and a maximum ridge elevation of
31 feet 4 inches (1 foot 8 inches under the maximum ridge limit). As illustrated in Exhibit
4 (Height Limit Overlay), a conforming roof plan can easily be accomplished by
designing a taller structure with longer roof spans, thereby lowering the midpoint below
the 28 -foot limit. This quirk in the City's method of measuring roof midpoints results in
conforming roof midpoints but increases the overall height of the building to the
maximum 33 -foot ridge limit. Therefore, the 10 -inch height increase to the midpoint
allowance actually results in a 1 -foot 8 inch overall height reduction of the proposed
buildings, resulting in increased public visual open space and views than could
otherwise be afforded with a conforming roof plan.
%
Seashore Village
March 20, 2008
Page 12
The Planning Commission should also consider that a single, large multiple -unit building
that conforms to the minimum setbacks and maximum height could be constructed,
which would likely result in a more visually massive and bulky structure. Such a project
could result in a 63 percent total maximum lot coverage (Lot Coverage is defined as the
percentage of a site covered by roofs, soffits, or overhangs and by decks more than 30
inches in height). The proposed project, with 18 smaller detached single -unit and two -
unit structures results in a substantially smaller 36 percent lot coverage. This reduction
in lot coverage not only increases the public visual open space and view opportunities
through the site, but also allows for increased landscaping of the site, which is proposed
at 28 percent of the lot (the existing development of the site provides only 14.4 percent
landscaping).
2. The increased building height would result in a more desirable architectural
treatment of the building and a stronger and more appealing visual character of
the area than is required by the basic height limit in any zone.
The low- pitched gable roof lines result in building heights that are generally more
compatible with the heights and architectural styles of the development in the
surrounding neighborhood. As previously discussed, a conforming roof plan can be
designed that results in increased overall building heights and visual massing as viewed
from the street elevation. A conforming roof design also results in less desirable
architectural treatment of the side elevations, with more drastic roof lines that are less
visually appealing.
3. The increased building height would not result in undesirable or abrupt scale
relationships being created between the structure and existing developments or
public spaces. Particular attention shall be given to the total bulk of the structure
including both horizontal and vertical dimensions.
The proposed street facing elevations will be scaled down by concentrating the highest
portions of the building mass away from the street frontages. Through this design, the
front and rear masses of the buildings are minimized and allow more light and ventilation
to the immediate neighbors. Furthermore, with the exception of the existing R -2
properties to the east, the project site is separated from other uses by River Avenue,
Seashore Drive, and the West Newport Park. This separation, in conjunction with the
design of the buildings to limit thk bulk and mass of the third floor to the center of the
lots, eliminates any undesirable or abrupt scale relationships between the project and
existing developments.
Staffs recommended condition requiring the reduction in heights of structures adjacent
to the existing R -2 properties to conform with a 24 -foot base height limit should result in
a project that is compatible in scale to the adjacent R -2 properties and will help ease the
transition of the project's increased heights to the existing neighborhood.
�a
Seashore Village

4. The structure shall have no more floor area than could have been achieved
without the use permit.
As previously mentioned, the proposed floor area ratio for the project is 1.23 FAR,
which is below the maximum of 1.75 FAR; therefore the project does not achieve any
additional floor area due to the additional height. The additional allowance in height only
affects roof lines and results in an architecturally superior product than would be
achieved through a roof design that conforms to the height limit.:
General Use Permit Findings
In addition to the required findings for the increased height request, the Zoning Code
requires the Planning Commission to make certain findings for use permits. These
findings and facts in support of findings are listed and discussed below.
I. 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.
As previously mentioned, the Multi - Family Residential (MFR) Zoning District is intended
to provide for medium -to -high density residential development, including single - family,
two- family, and multi - family residential structures. The proposed detached single -unit
and two -unit residential structures are permitted uses within this zoning designation.
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.
As noted in the previous sections, the project is consistent with the General Plan. The
proposed use permit request for increased height should not prove detrimental as the
project includes a significant increase in public and visual open space and the small
increase to the average height of the roofs actually allows for a more significant
reduction in overall height of the buildings (1 -foot 8- inches below the 33 -foot maximum
ridge height limitation).
3. That the proposed use will comply with the provisions of this code, including any
specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be
located.
The Municipal Code does not provide any specific conditions for this type of use; however,
the project has been reviewed and conditioned to ensure that conflicts with surrounding
land uses are minimized to the greatest extent possible or eliminated.

Subdivision — Tentative Tract Map
The applicant is requesting the approval of a tentative tract map, for condominium
purposes, to create 24 airspace condominium units. Pursuant to Section 19.12.070 of the
City Subdivision Code (Title 19), the following standard findings must be made to approve
the tentative tract map. If the Planning Commission determines that one or more of the
findings listed in relation to either map cannot be made, the tentative parcel map or tract
map must be denied.
1. That the proposed map and the design or improvements of the subdivision are
consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, and with
applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and this Subdivision Code.
As noted in the previous sections, the project is consistent with the General Plan. The
Public Works Department has reviewed the proposed tentative maps and believes that
they are consistent with the Newport Beach Subdivision Code (Title 19) and applicable
requirements of the Subdivision Map Act. Conditions of approval have been included to
ensure compliance with Title 19.
2. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of development.
The existing site is entirely developed and does not support any environmental resources.
The site is relatively flat and based on the geologic investigation performed for the site, no
signs of unstable or expansive soils are evident, nor is the site subject to erosion. It should
be noted that the geologic investigation did reveal that the underlying soil of the site has a
significant liquefaction potential if subject to heavy vibration; however, mitigation measures
have been incorporated, as recommended by the site- specific geotechnical investigation,
that will reduce impacts to a less than significant level.
The site is currently developed with multiple - family dwelling units at a density greater
than that proposed. As previously discussed in the report, the proposed project is below
the applicable maximum floor area limit and maximum residential density for the site. Due
to these factors, the site is suitable for the type and density of development proposed.
3. That the design of the subdivisiob or the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure
fish or wildlife or their habitat. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the
decision - making body may nevertheless approve such a subdivision if an
environmental impact report was prepared for the project and a finding was made
pursuant to Section 21081 of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act that
specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation
measures or project alternatives identified in the environmental impact report.
s
Seashore Village
March 20, 2008
Page 15
A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared and concludes that no significant
environmental impacts will result with proposed development of the site in accordance
with the proposed subdivision map.
4. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to
cause serious public health problems.
The project consists of 24 residential units as permitted by the Zoning Code and the
General Plan. No evidence is known to exist that would indicate that the planned
subdivision pattern will generate any serious public health problems. All mitigation
measures will be implemented as outlined in the Mitigated Negative Declaration to ensure
the protection of the public health.
5. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of
property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the decision- making
body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for
use, will be provided and that these easements will be substantially equivalent to
ones previously acquired by the public. This finding shall apply only to
easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to the City Council to
determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or
use of property within a subdivision.
Although the access road through the project will remain private, a 24- foot -wide
easement through the site will be retained by the City to ensure access rights for public
emergency and security ingresslegress, public utility purposes, and weekly trash pick-
up. A 6 -foot sidewalk easement currently exists along the Seashore Drive frontage and
the applicant will be required to construct full -width sidewalks. No other public
easements for access through or use of the property have been retained for use by the
public at large. Public utility easements for utility connections that serve the project site
are present and will be modified, if necessary, to serve the proposed project.
6. That, subject to the detailed provisions of Section 66474.4 of the Subdivision
Map Act, if the land is subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California
Land Conservation Act of 9965 (Wiffi'amson Act), the resulting parcels following a
subdivision of the land would not be too small to sustain their agricultural use or
the subdivision will result in residential development incidental to the commercial
agricultural use of the land.
The site is not subject to a Williamson Act contract; therefore, this finding does not
apply.
C,1
Seashore Village

7. That, in the case of a "land project" as defined in Section 11000.5 of the
California Business and Professions Code: (a) there is an adopted specific plan
for the area to be included within the land project,-.and (b) the decision- making
body finds that the proposed land project is consistent with the specific plan for
the area.
The subject property is not located within the boundaries of a specific plan.
8. That solar access and passive heating and cooling design requirements have
been satisfied in accordance with Sections 66473.1 and 66475.3 of the
Subdivision Map Act.
Title 24 of the Uniform Building Code requires new construction to meet minimum
heating and cooling efficiency standards depending on location and climate. The
Newport Beach Building Department enforces Title 24 compliance through the plan
check and field inspection processes.
9. That the subdivision is consistent with Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map
Act and Section 65584 of the California Government Code regarding the City's
share of the regional housing need and that it balances the housing needs of the
region against the public service needs of the City's residents and available fiscal
and environmental resources.
As previously noted in the Housing Element discussion, the demolition of the 54 -unit
apartment complex and development of 24 condominiums will result in a total reduction
of 30 dwelling units; however, given the rental vacancy rate of 7.7 percent in the City,
sufficient existing rental units available to absorb the displaced rental units. Also, as
discussed in more detail in the Coastal Residential Development Permit section of this
report, 6 of the 54 existing apartment units proposed for demolition are occupied by
persons of rower or moderate income. To compensate for this loss of affordable
housing, the applicant will be required to replace the units at an off -site location within
the City for a minimum period of 30 years. Public services are available to serve the
proposed development of the site and the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for
the project indicates that the project's potential environmental impacts are expected to
be less than significant.
10. That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing
sewer system will not result in a violation of existing requirements prescribed by
the. Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Waste discharge into the existing sewer system will be consistent with residential use of
the property which does not violate Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)
requirements. As of writing this report, the RWQCB has not provided any comments
related to the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration during the 30 -day review period.

11. For subdivisions lying partly or wholly within the Coastal Zone, that the
subdivision conforms with the certified Local Coastal Program and, where
applicable, with public access and recreation policies of Chapter Three of the
Coastal Act.
Although the proposed subdivision is located entirely within the coastal zone, the project
site is not located adjacent to the shoreline of the Pacific Ocean and is not presently
developed with coastal - related uses, coastal-dependent uses or water- oriented
recreational uses. As noted previously, staff believes that the proposed project is
consistent with the City's CLUP and the Coastal Act.
Coastal Residential Development Permit
Chapter 20.86 of the Zoning Code (Low and Moderate Income Housing within the
Coastal Zone) requires the processing of a coastal residential development permit
(CRDP) to ensure compliance with Government Code Section 65590 (commonly known
as the 1982 Mellow Act). The Mellow Act prohibits the City from approving the
demolition or conversion of existing housing units occupied by low- or moderate - income
households located within the Coastal Zone, unless provisions are made for their
replacement: If feasible, all or any portion of the replacement units must be located on
the site of the demolished structure or elsewhere in the Coastal Zone. If location on -site
or within the Coastal Zone is not feasible, the units must be located within three miles of
the Coastal Zone's inland boundary.
Based on an income survey performed in June of 2007 by the Las Brisas property
manager, Allen Properties, it was determined that a total of 6 units in the existing
apartment complex are occupied by low- and moderate - income households. The
income distribution is as follows:
Two very-low- income households; and
Four moderate - income households
Feasibility Analysis
The Mello Act states that replacement affordable units must be provided if "feasible".
The Mello Act defines feasibility as "capable of':being accomplished in a successful
manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic,
environmental, social and technical factors ". The City utilized a pro forma provided by
the applicant to analyze the project and determine if it was financially feasible for the
applicant to fulf ill all, or any portion, of the replacement requirements of the Mello Act.
For the purpose of the feasibility analysis, the pro forma estimates development costs
and revenues for the project based on the following:
Seashore Village
March 20, 2008
Page 18
1. Site Acquisition Cost ($25,500,000)
2. Total Development Costs ($28,434,500)
3. Total Sales Revenue ($58,950,000)
4. Developer Profit (8.5 percent of Sales revenue= $5,015,500)
The applicant has agreed to commit $1.35 million to subsidizes the rents and /or
purchase price of off -site replacement housing. After committing $1.35 million towards
replacement housing, the applicant's profit is expected to decrease to approximately 6.2
percent. Specific candidate properties for the replacement units have not yet been
identified as of this writing.
The City retained the real estate development consulting firm, The Natelson Dale
Group, Inc (TNDG) for the purposes of evaluating the reasonableness of the applicant's
financial projections. After reviewing the applicant's pro forma dated November 2007
and an appraisal letter prepared by CB Richard Ellis, Inc (CBRE) dated January 5,
2008, TNDG has concluded that the applicant could afford to subsidize replacement
housing in the amount of at least $1.8 million to $2.0 million and still meet the project
feasibility criteria established in the applicant's original pro forma (8.5 percent developer
profit). The TNDG Memorandum is attached as Exhibit 5. The basis of this conclusion is
that the CBRE appraisal (prepared subsequent to the applicant's November 2007 pro
forma) indicates a total revenue potential for the project of $60.9 million, or $1.95 million
more than sales revenue indicated on the applicant's pro forma.
Based on the revised revenue expectation, the applicant's development costs and
revenues for the project would be revised as follows:
1. Site Acquisition Cost ($25,500,000)
2. Total Development Costs ($28,434,500)
3. Total Sales Revenue ($60,900,000)
4. Developer Profit Before Replacement Housing Fee (11.4% or $6,965,500)
5. Replacement Housing Costs ($1,950,000 million)
6. Net Developer Profit (8.5 percent of Sales revenue = $5,015,500)
On -Site Replacement
Replacement of the 6 affordable units on -site is infeasible, given the land costs and
proposed product types; however, based on the applicant's sales revenue projection, it
appears that it would be feasible to retain one of the duplex units on -site as a moderate -
income 'for- sale" unit. The 3- bedroom unit could be sold at a maximum price of
$283,200 to a moderate income household, resulting in a loss (subsidy) of $1,250,800.
Staff does not recommend this option.

Off -Site Replacement
The most practical way to replace the units would be through the acquisition of an
existing, off -site apartment project and /or condominium and subsidizing the rents and /or
purchase price of the units to lower or moderate- income households. To determine
whether the applicant's $1.35 million commitment was sufficient to subsidize 6 off -site
replacement units, staff relied on the analysis contained within the Draft Technical
Memorandum dated October 11, 2007 (Exhibit 6), prepared by Economic and Planning
Systems (EPS), for the calculation of the City's affordable housing in -lieu fee. Based on
the information contained within the memorandum, the net cost to subsidize 6
replacement units is estimated at $962,134. It should be noted that these calculations
were intended to generally illustrate the subsidy amount that is required for the City to
create new affordable units; however, actual subsidy costs could vary depending on the
number of units that are created and whether they or new or converted units.
were used
2For subsidy calculations, the value of the affordable unit (as calculated through sale values or capitalized rental operating income
streams) is compared to the casts to develop the unit, tnoiudh9 "direct: costs (fabor and materials), nniltracr costs (design, permits,
financing, etc.) and land acquisition costs.
Site Acquisition Costs
The CBRE appraisal estimates the "as is value of the property as an apartment
complex to be $15.95 million and the potential land value (if entitled per the applicant's
request) to be $25.5 million. Staff believes the site acquisition costs (entitled land value)
included in the applicant's pro forma is overvalued as it does not include the cost to
replace the 6 units in accordance with the Mello Act ; therefore, it does not represent
entitled land value. Although the applicant has committed $1.35 million towards the
replacement of the 6 units, staff believes this informatioilJs pertinent when considering
the feasibility of this project.
CRDP Summary
Based on the above discussion, the applicant's commitment of $1.35 million is sufficient
to subsidize the replacement of the 6 affordable housing units and still provide a
developer profit that is acceptable to the applicant (ranging between 6.2 — 9.2 percent
depending on total sales revenue). The Mello Act does not specify whether the
replacement units must be like -for -like in terms of affordability and bedroom count;
Seashore Village
March 20, 2008
Page 20
however, given the City's adequate supply of moderate income rental units in the City,
staff recommends that any very-low and low income units proposed be maintained as
rental units and any moderate income units proposed be sold as "for -sale' units. Staff
has included a condition ensuring an appropriate mix of affordable units is provided that
efficiently utilizes the applicant's $1.35 million commitment.
Traffic Phasing Ordinance
Based on trip generation rates calculated using the Institute of Traffic Engineers' (ITE)
Trip Generation Manual Wh edition, 2003), occupancy of the proposed 24 single -unit
and two -unit residences is anticipated to result in a net reduction of 178 average daily
trips (ADT) in comparison to the number of trips estimated to be generated by the
existing 54 -unit apartment complex (178 ADT — 363 ADT = -178 ADT). Per Section
15.40.030.C.1 of the Municipal Code (Traffic Phasing Ordinance), the project is exempt
from having to prepare a traffic study as it generates fewer than 300 daily trips.
Environmental Review
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) has been prepared by The Planning Center for
the proposed project in accordance with the implementing guidelines of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The MND is attached as Exhibit No. 7. The MND
identifies five (5) issue areas with 6 mitigation measures. Those issues are: Air Quality,
Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, and Noise.
The MND was circulated for public review between February 20 and March 20, 2008.
As of the date of staff report preparation, staff has only received two standard MND
comment letters from the Gas Company and the Native American Heritage Commission
(Exhibit 8). Staff will prepare responses to any subsequent comment letters, if received,
and present them to the Planning Commission at the March 20th hearing.
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. The environmental assessment process
has also been noticed in a similar manner and all mandatory notices per the California
Environmental Quality Act have been given. Finally, the item appeared upon the agenda
for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the city website. Additionally, the
item appeared upon the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on
the city website.
In addition to the City's public noticing requirements, the applicant has been proactive in
meeting with surrounding neighborhood and has provided a summary of their
community outreach efforts, which is attached as Exhibit 9

SUMMARY
Although the proposed project includes a number of deviations from the MFR District
development standards, staff believes that findings necessary for project approval can
be made. It is staffs conclusion that the 24 -unit condominium project, as conditioned,
would not prove detrimental to the area and will result in a development that is more
compatible and consistent with the historic development of the adjacent R -1 and R -2
properties in the immediate vicinity ofithe site.
ALTERNATIVES
Should the Planning Commission conclude that the project as proposed would not be
compatible with the surrounding uses and /or that the project would not be appropriate
for the MFR District, the project should be denied, or modified to address issues of
design or density. If a redesigned project is advisable, staff recommends a continuance
to allow the applicant time to revise their plans accordingly should this course of action
be sought.
Given the deviations from the MFR development standards necessary to accommodate
the single -unit and two -unit product type proposed for the site, staff considered the
appropriateness of alternative zoning designations; however, for the following various
reasons, the MFR designation proved to be most appropriate:
1. An R -1/R -2 is most suitable for the proposed product type; however, the benefits
of the MFR guest parking, open space and increased landscaping would be lost
and potentially replaced with two additional units (Exhibit 10, Zone Change
Study).
2. The Planned Residential Development (PRD) Overlay allows for project - specific
development plan and flexibility with development standards; however, given the
large parking requirement that cannot be waived, this option was not considered
feasible.
3. The Planned Community District is intended to provide for the classification and
development of parcels of land as coordinated, comprehensive projects so as to
take advantage of the superior environment which cari4esult from large -scale
community planning; however, the proposed project does not achieve these
objectives and does not meet the minimum land area requirements of 10 acres.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City of Newport Beach DATE: March 10, 2008
ATTN: Mr. David Lepo
Planning Director
FROM: The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. (TNDG) FILE: #3918
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PRO FORMA FOR SEASHORE VILLAGE
Per your request, The Natelson Dale Group, Inc. (TNDG) has conducted a limited and brief
review of the following financial information regarding the proposed Seashore Village project:
The "Seashore Village Detailed Pro Forma" dated November 2007 and prepared by Todd
Schooler & Associates, Inc. (the project applicant); and
• An appraisal letter prepared by CB Richard Ellis, Inc. (CBRE) and dated January 5, 2008.
This letter provides a summary of a detailed appraisal (which was not included in the
documentation provided by the applicant).
The purposes of TNDG's review were: a) to evaluate, in the limited sense described above, the
reasonableness of the applicant's financial projections, and b) to determine the extent to which it
would be feasible for the applicant to subsidize "replacement housing" in fulfillment of Mello
Act requirements. In particular, we understand that the applicant has offered to invest $1 million
in the replacement of affordable housing units. The City has requested TNDG's opinion
regarding the ability of the developer to commit to a higher amount.
Summary Conclusion
TNDG estimates that the project could afford to subsidize "replacement housing" by an
amount of at Least $1.8 million to $2.0 million and still meet the project feasibility criteria
established in the developer's pro forma. These calculations, and TNDG's commentary on the
developer's financial projections, are provided below.
Comments on Reasonableness of Aimlicant's Financial Projections
The applicant's November 2007 pro forma indicates a "net revenue return" of $5,015,500,
representing a profit margin of 8.5% of projected gross revenues from sale of the developed
homes. According to City staff, the applicant represents the project summarized in this pro
forma as feasible and attractive from an investment perspective. Thus, TNDG has assumed that
the above numbers — $5,015,500 in net revenues and an 8.5% profit margin — represent the
developer's acceptable feasibility thresholds for this project.
The profitability indicated in the applicant's November 2,007 pro forma is based on three basic
components

Mr. David Lepo

Page 2
• Total sales revenue of $58,950,000
• Land purchase price of $25,500,000
• Total development costs of $28,434,500
Of the above items, only the development costs are documented in any detail on the pro forma.
The basis of the $58.95 million in sales revenue is not indicated, and the land purchase price is
apparently based on the CBRE appraisal (per City staff, the applicant has confirmed that the site
is in escrow for $25.5 million, contingent on project approval).
Given the limited documentation and the short timeframe available for this assignment, it has not
been possible for TNDG to independently evaluate the financial feasibility of the project.
However, based on a cursory review of the indicated development costs (the only information
provided in any detail in the submitted financial analysis), TNDG believes that they are generally
reasonable.
TNDG has not independently evaluated the reasonableness of the anticipated land value or the
project's revenue (i.e., sales price) potentials, although further comment on these topics is
provided below.
Comments on Project's Ability to Subsidize "Replacement Housing"
The CBRE appraisal — which was prepared subsequent to the applicant's (November 2007) pro
forma — indicates total revenue potential for the project of $60.9 million, or $1.95 million more
than the sales revenue indicated on the applicant's pro forma. Based on this revised revenue
expectation, TNDG has recalculated the amount the project could afford to commit for
"replacement housing" and still remain feasible (based on the thresholds defined above). Two
feasibility thresholds have been considered: 1) achieving a "net revenue return" (i.e., gross
revenues minus land and development costs) of $5,015,500, and 2) achieving a profit margin of
8.5% of gross sales revenue. Based on the first method, the project could afford to commit
$1,950,000 for replacement housing. Based on the second method, the project could afford to
commit $1,789,000
Comments on Land Value
The CBRE appraisal estimates the "as is" value of the property at $15.95 million. CBRE
estimates the potential land value (if entitled pursuant to the applicant's request) at $25.5 million.
Thus, re- entitlement of the property would increase the site's value (to the current owner) by
nearly $10 million. Although neither TNDG nor the City has access to the detailed appraisal
calculations, it is presumed that the $25.5 million is a residual land value based on certain
assumptions about the profitability of redeveloping the site. That is, it is the maximum amount a
developer could afford to pay for the site and still achieve an acceptable rate of return given the
expected value of the "end product" According to City staff, the applicant reports that there are

Mr. David Lepo
March 10, 2008
Page 3
a number of developers interested in buying the property for approximately $25 million based on
the anticipated profit potential. It should be pointed out that the "expected profit potential" (on
which the $25.5 million value is based) quite likely does not reflect the expectation that a
developer would need to pay for "replacement housing" pursuant to the Mello Act. (Although if
it does, this means that there is potentially more money available for the replacement housing.)
Implementation of the Mello Act is somewhat problematic given the provision for exempting
projects that would become infeasible if required to provide replacement housing. If the
provision of replacement housing (either on site or via subsidization of offsite units) is not a
"given" in a developer's financial calculations, the resulting land costs (if determined via a
residual land value) will always be biased towards making it "infeasible" to provide replacement
housing. In contrast, if every prospective developer interested in a given site were presented
with an "amount certain" necessary to fulfill Mello Act requirements, this known cost would be
factored into every developer's profit expectations and cause the residual land value to be
adjusted accordingly (i.e., the property would be appraised at a lower value, allowing the
developer to pay for the required replacement housing and still achieve an acceptable rate of
return).
Finally, we should note that TNDG has not evaluated the degree to which the proposed
replacement housing commitment (whether the $1 million offered by the applicant or the higher
amount indicated by TNDG's calculations) would in fact be sufficient to provide affordable
housing comparable to the numbers of units that would be lost with the development of this
project.
In fact, the very content of this letter reveals only a few of the subtleties involved in attempting
to arrive at the "truth" in these matters, given that the developer effectively has control of much
of the relevant information.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about our conclusions.

EPS Draft Memorandum
DRAFT TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
To: Sharon Wood, David Lepo and Brandon Nichols, City of Newport Beach
From: Darin Smith and Melina Raffin
Subject: Inclusionary Housing In -Lieu Fee Study; EPS #17062
Date: October 11, 2007
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) was retained in 2004 by the City of Newport
Beach to conduct an analysis of the City's inclusionary housing program, with specific
focus on the calculation of an appropriate fee that housing developers may pay in lieu of
providing affordable units within their development projects, Since EPS's initial study,
the City has revised their inclusionary policy, thus requiring a revised analysis of the in-
lieu fee, This Technical Memorandum presents an update of the findings of EPS's
analysis and documents the methodology used to calculate the in -lieu fee.
STUDY OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The key findings of EPS's analysis are as follows:
1. Through the Housing Element of the General Plan, the City of Newport Beach
has an inclusionary housing program that requires residential developers to
either provide 15 percent of the total units in their projects as affordable housing
units, or pay a fee in lieu of providing those units. The City proposes to limit the
inclusionary ordinance requirement to projects of at least 11 units.
2. The City's inclusionary housing policy does not require that the affordable units
be of the same type or quality as the market -rate units in any given project.
Thus, it is likely that some developers will elect to provide affordable units as
rental apartments, even if the market -rate units in their projects are for sale.
3. The City has indicated that developers should have the choice of providing units
for households of very low- income, low- income, or moderate income. Because
units for lower - income households require higher construction subsidies, the
percentage of units required varies by income category.

4. EPS has determined that the following percentages would have essentially
equivalent financial impacts on residential development projects (see Table 1):
10% Very low- income rental units, or
15% Low - income rental units, or
20% Moderate- income for -sale units
5. Using these equivalencies, the-lnclusionary Housing In -Lieu fee has been
calculated at a maximum of $26,500 per market -rate unit
REVIEW OF THE CITY'S INCLUSIONARY HOUSING POLICIES
CURRENT INCLUSIONARY POLICY
The 2000 -2008 Housing Element for the City of Newport Beach established a policy that
reads as follows:
Policy 2.2 Encourage the housing development industry to respond to
housing needs of the community and the demand for housing as
perceived by the industry, with the intent of achieving the
Regional Housing Needs Assessment construction goals within
five (5) years.
The program set forth to accomplish this policy is Housing Program 2.2.1, which states
that the City will:
"Require a proportion of affordable housing in new residential developments or
levy an in -lieu fee. The City's goal over the five -year planning period is for an
average of 15 percents of all new housing units to be affordable to very low —,
low -, and moderate - income households. The City shall either (a) require the
payment of an in -lieu fee, or (b) require the preparation of an Affordable
Housing Implementation Plan (AMP) that specifies how the development will
meet the City's affordable housing goal, depending on the following criteria for
project size:
1. Projects of 50 or fewer units shall have the option of preparing an
AMP or paying the in -lieu fee.
2. Projects where more than 50 units are proposed shall be required to
prepare an AHIP."
1 In determining the number of whole affordable units required, the City proposes that any decimal fraction
less than 0.50 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and any decimal fraction greater than or
equal to 0.50 shall be rounded up to the next whole number.

Sharon Wood, David Lepo and Brandon Nichols October 11, 2007
Draft Technical Memorandum Page 3
Furthermore, this housing program allows the affordable units to be provided at an off -
site location approved by the City, and is silent and thus flexible about the types of
affordable units that must be provided. While some jurisdictions require that the
affordable units be of the same type, size, and /or quality as the market -rate units in a
given project, the Newport Beach policy allows the developer to provide their affordable
units in the most efficient product types possible. This allowance of flexibility is
important in calculating the in -lieu fee.
PREVIOUS IN -LIEU FEE STUDIES
The City commissioned a study in 1999 for the formal establishment of an in -lieu fee
program; however, that study did not result in a formalized in -lieu fee program. In
addition, EPS was retained by the City in 2005 to conduct an in -lieu fee analysis of the
City's then - current inclusionary housing policy, which required residential developers
to provide 20 percent of the total units in their projects as affordable housing units. That
study also did not result in a formalized in -lieu fee program, because the City has since
reduced the inclusionary requirement from 20 to 15 percent.
However, despite not having a formal in -lieu fee program to date, the City has
negotiated in -lieu fees with several developers in recent years. Examples of in -lieu fee
received from past projects include the following:

The City committed $1.8 million of the in -lieu fee reserve to the Bayview Landing senior
affordable housing project. For future in -lieu fee expenditures, the City's Affordable
Housing Task Force has created a program that identifies preferred options for the use
of the funds.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SUBSIDY CALCULATION
METHODOLOGY
The calculation of an appropriate fee in lieu of the development of inclusionary housing
units requires the estimation of the subsidy required to develop an affordable unit. For
this subsidy calculation, the value of the affordable unit (as calculated through sale
values or capitalized rental operating income streams) is compared to the costs to

develop the unit including "direct" costs (labor and materials), "indirect" costs (design,
permits, financing, etc.), and land acquisition costs.
KEY ASSUMPTIONS
EPS sent the preliminary development cost, revenue, and valuation assumptions to
numerous developers of market -rate and affordable housing in Orange County and
Southern California (see Appendix A), and conducted telephone interviews with
representatives of several companies. EPS made several adjustments to the original
assumptions based on these groups' input. Based on information and direction received
from City staff, market -rate and affordable housing developers, and EPS research, EPS
has determined that the following assumptions shall be used to calculate the affordable
housing'§Ubsidy.
Type of Unit
To accurately reflect market conditions and calculate required development subsidies, it
is important to ensure that the rent assumptions for affordable units are in fact below
market rates. Staff from the City of Newport Beach conducted a survey of 13 market -
rate apartment complexes in July 2007, and found that no units were affordable to very
low- income households and very few were affordable to low- income households, but
most were affordable to moderate - income households (see Appendix B). For this reason
(and another discussed in the "In -Lieu Fee Calculation" section below), EPS has
assumed that moderate-income households would occupy for -sale units.
All very low- and low- income affordable housing units developed with subsidy from
the in -lieu fee are assumed to be multifamily rental units, while moderate - income units
are assumed to be multifamily condominiums. These assumptions are consistent with
the letter of the Housing Element which does not require that inclusionary affordable
units built by the developer be the same type of unit as the market -rate units.
EPS has further assumed that the inclusionary units would be mixed by number of
bedrooms, with 40 percent of all units as one -bedroom units (for two- person
households), 40 percent of all units as two -bedroom units (for four- person households),
and 20 percent of all units as three- bedroom units (for six - person households) .3 While
any given development project may have a different mix to serve specific market niches
(e.g., families, singles, seniors, etc.), the unit distribution described above is a
simplifying assumption that is similar to the distribution of rental units within the City
as found in the 2000 Census.
For purposes of cost estimation, one - bedroom units are assumed to be 725 square feet
while two - bedroom units are 1,050 square feet and three- bedroom units are 1,250 square
feet. These unit sizes are generally in the lower half of the size ranges discovered in a
survey of Newport Beach apartment complexes, which showed one - bedroom units
3 The City's Housing Element establishes that the maximum household incorne for a given affordable unit
shall assume two people per bedroom, except for efficiency units (one person).

ranging from 626 to 1,152 square feet two- bedroom units from 926 to 1,546 square feet,
and three- bedroom units from 1,160 to 1,700 square feet
The unit sizes and the distribution of units by number of bedrooms are assumed to be
the same regardless of the income level being served.
Development Value
The value of each unit is determined either by its sale price (for homeownership units)
or the capitalized value of its net operating income stream (for rental units).
Rental Development Value
Monthly Rent
The Housing Element states that for each income category, monthly rent is assumed to
equal 30 percent of gross monthly household income. Moreover, EPS has assumed that
inclusionary units within each category will be affordable at the maximum income
within that category. For instance, a 'low-income" household may have an income
anywhere from 51 percent to 80 percent of Orange County's Median Family Income
(MFI). EPS has assumed that the maximum monthly rent in this income category will be
based on 80 percent of MFI, rather than 51 percent or some other middle figure (such as
65 percent). This assumption has the result of minimizing the housing production
subsidy; however, the language of the Housing Element appears to allow for this
possibility for those developers who would produce inclusionary units, so the same
allowance is made for those who would pay the in lieu fee. Table 2 shows the income
levels and associated allowable monthly rents for rental units of different sizes.
It is also necessary to assume a certain amount of vacancy for calculating the effective
gross income stream from a rental project EPS has assumed at stabilized operations an
affordable multifamily apartment complex in Newport Beach would have 5 percent
annual vacancy.
Operating Expenses
Annual operating expenses for rental apartments are assumed at $4,200 per one-
bedroom unit $4,500 per two - bedroom unit and $4,800 per three - bedroom unit,
regardless of income level. These operating expenses cover property management,
common utilities, marketing, maintenance, taxes, and similar expenses.
Capitalization Rate
A rental unit's net operating income (effective gross income less expenses) is converted
to a unit value through use of a capitalization rate. The capitalization rate reflects an
investor's perceived risk, as well as the investor's opportunity cost. For a multifamily
rental project in the City of Newport Beach, the capitalization rate is assumed to be 7.0
percent This rate may be slightly higher than what might be achieved under present
market conditions, but reflects a somewhat longer term rate that should be robust
through market fluctuations. The calculations for apartment development values are
shown on Table 3.

For -Sale Development Value
City policy dictates that the price of a for -sale affordable home cannot exceed three times
the annual income of the occupying household. The Year 2007 income limits established
by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for Orange County are
shown on Table 4, as are the maximum allowable home prices. It is worth noting that
not all jurisdictions limit the affordable home prices to three times the annual income,
and that Newport Beach's policy results in lower prices than might be allowed in other
jurisdictions for similarly sized households.
However, this effect is offset somewhat by Newport Beach's allowance of two persons
per bedroom. Many jurisdictions base income levels on households of sizes equal to the
number of bedrooms plus one (e.g., three- person household in a two- bedroom unit,
four - person household in a three- bedroom unit), but Newport Beach allows four people
in a two- bedroom unit and six in a three bedroom unit. The corresponding income
limits are higher for larger households; thus, the affordable price allowed for a three -
bedroom unit is higher for a six - person household than it would be for a four - person
household.
Development Costs
The cost of development must be compared to the development value to determine if
there is a need for financial subsidy. EPS has made a variety of cost assumptions, as
detailed below. One overarching assumption is that development costs are the same
regardless of the income level being served The calculations for development costs are
shown on Tables 5 and 6 for apartments and condominiums, respectively.
Direct Construction Costs
Direct construction costs include the costs for labor and materials for the buildings and
standard site improvement (surface parking, landscaping, etc.) as well as contractor fees.
EPS has assumed that direct construction costs would equal $140 per gross square foot
of each apartment building, and $150 per square foot for condominiums because of the
higher level of finish typical of for -sale development. These figures account for slight
cost variations among unit sizes.
Indirect Costs
Indirect costs include architecture and engineering costs, financing costs, permits and
fees, and other development expenses beyond those required for actual labor and
materials. For both apartments and condominiums, EPS has assumed that indirect costs
will equal 35 percent of direct construction costs.
Land Costs
Development costs must account for the price of the land underlying the apartment
building. EPS has assumed that land entitled for multifamily housing in Newport Beach

would cost $3,250,000 per acre.4 EPS has further assumed that both apartments and
condominiums would be built at 20 dwelling units per acre, resulting in a land cost of
$162,500 per unit.
Developer Profit
As is standard for rental apartment development, developer profit is accounted for in
the development value calculations through the capitalization rate and is thus not
included as a separate line item for development costs. For condominiums, however,
developers must realize their profit at the time of sale, as there is no ongoing revenue
stream. EPS has assumed a 10 percent profit margin for developers of for -sale units
affordable to moderate - income households.
... 6
CALCULATIONS
Detailed calculations of development values and costs for each unit size and income
level are shown on Tables 7 and 8, for apartments and condominiums, respectively.
The indusionary housing development subsidy is calculated by subtracting the
development costs from the development value. If the result is negative, a subsidy is
required in the amount shown. Those tables also show the "weighted average' subsidy
by income level, assuming the units are distributed among one -, two -, and three -
bedroom units as discussed above.
As shown on Table 7, rental units for very low- and low -income households require
subsidy regardless of the unit size, as the costs of development exceed the value of the
units.
Table 8 shows that affordable condominium units require greater subsidy than
apartment units. This result is because the construction costs are slightly higher, the
developer profit adds an additional cost, and the City's policy -based method for
calculating allowable unit prices for for -sale housing (three times household income)
yields lower unit values for condos than does the method for rental prices (30 percent of
income on rent).
4 This $3,250,000 per acre land value was delved from EP9s conversations with market -rate and affordable
housing developers.

IN-LIEU FEE CALCULATION
METHODOLOGY
To calculate the in -lieu fee, the total cost that would have been incurred by the
developer to produce the affordable units is divided by the number of units produced.
Fof instance, a developer of a 20 -unit project would be required to build three
inclusionary emits to achieve the City's overall goal of "an average of 15 percent of all
new residential development... affordable to very low –, low -, and moderate- income
households." If each inclusiornary unit required a subsidy of $100,000, the developer
who builds the units would have borne a total subsidy of $300,". If the developer opts
to pay the in -lieu fee instead of producing the units, and thus produces 20 market -rate
un.4 w, the total subsidy of $300,000 would be divided by 20 market -rate units to result in
an in -lieu fee requirement of $15,000 per masker_ -rate unit The ar -Mal assumptions and
calculations are discussed below.
CALCULATIONS
The primary assumption required to calculate the in -lieu tee is the proportionate income
distribution of the households to be served by affordable llousing units. Wtw -real SoMe
jurisdictions require that inclusionary units be provided to a mix of income - levels within
the same project, the City of Newport Beach has suggested that developers Should be
given the option of providing affordable units for very low -, low -, or moderate- income
households. As such, it is imperative that an economic equivalency be established
among these income levels, so that developers will not simply provide 15 percent of
units for moderate - income households (that require the least subsidy) and do not
produce any housing affordable to low- or very low- income households.
The City has determined that the basis for the economic equivalency shall be an
inclusionary requirement that 15 percent of new units be affordable to low- income
households. As shown on Table 7, the subsidy required to produce an apartment unit
affordable to low- income households is roughly $171,000. Thus, a 100 -unit development
providing 15 apartments affordable to low-inc(mv hauselutlda would bear artimptied
subsidy of $2,560,000. If no such affordable units are produced and the developer builds
100 market -fate units, the cost of the implied subsidy spread over 100 units would be
$25,600 per market -rate unit.
Because the subsidies per unit are greater for very low- income units, fewer very low -
income unity would generate the same overall economic impact to the development
project. Similarly, moderate - income units require less subsidy, so more moderate -
income unit3 are required to generate the equivalent economic impact. On Table 9, EPS
has calculated the economic equivalencies, which are summarized as follows:

$26,500
Using thin methodology, the in -lieu fee to be paid by developers choosing not to
construct affordable units within their projects would be $26,500 per market -rate unit.
Please note that EPS has evaluated the equivalency if a developer chose to provide
moderate income rental units. As discussed earlier, many market -rate apartments in
Newport Beach are actually affordable to moderate inco*re households. In addition,
because of the method required by the City to calculate the maximum affordable for -sale
price (three times gross household income), the maximum price of a moderate income
for -sale unit is actually lower than the capitalized value of a moderate income rental unit
(compare those values on Tables 3 and 4) while the development costs are higher for
condominiums than for rental apartments (see Tables 5 and 6). Thus, the subsidy
required for moderate income rentals is lower than the subsidy for moderate income for -
sale units ($36,000 versus $133,000). To provide the equivalent subsidy of a project
providing 15 percent low income units, a developer would have to provide about 75
percent of total units in a project as rentals affordable to moderate income households.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
SETTING THE FEE AMOUNT
This study calculates the maximum fee that can be charged to developers for whom the
City approves fees instead of the provision of inclusionary units. The City does have
legal leeway to set the fee at any level up to the maximum allowable fee.
FEE ESCALATION
The Inclusionary Housing In -Lieu Fees calculated herein reflect current income levels,
allowable rent rates, unit values, and development costs. Each of these items is likely to
change over time. In the past, the City of Newport Beach has adjusted its negotiated in-
lieu fees according to an annual inflation measure, such as the Consumer Price Index.
Other jurisdictions use similar measures, such as the Construction Cost Index or the rate
of increase in the Median Family Income. Such a measure avoids the need to re-
calculate the fee over time. However, the City may wish to consider a regular re-
calculation of the fee every few years to ensure that the fee continues to capture the full
subsidy required to produce affordable housing units in the City of Newport Beach. In
either case, the method and frequency of re- calculation should be written into the
Inclusionary Housing In -Lieu Fee ordinance.

PARTIAL SATISFACTION OF THE INCLUSIONARY REQUIREMENT
Through City approval of the AHIP, some developers may propose to provide some
portion of the required inclusionary units within their own project, while paying the In-
Lieu Fee for the remainder of their required units. In such instances, the City should
determine the total amount of the subsidy required for the project, and charge the
difference between the subsidies associated with the units provided in the project and
those�that will be required offsite. Thus, a 100 -unit development providing 10
apartments affordable to low- income households would need to provide five additional
low - income affordable units off -site, or a total subsidy of $854,000 ($171,000 per
affordable unit not built).
APPLICATION OF CALCULATIONS IN THE COASTAL ZONE
Consistent with State law, Section 20.86 of the City's planning and zoning code ( "Low
and Moderate Income Housing within the Coastal Zone ") states, "When demolition or
conversion activities involve low- and moderate -income units, replacement units shall
be provided on a one for one basis." This requirement is intended to be met through the
actual provision of units, preferably on -site, but under certain circumstances, the
developer can pay a fee in lieu of providing the affordable units.
The per -unit subsidies calculated on Tables 7 and 8 of this document can be used to
determine the in -lieu fees required of developers whose projects result in a loss of units
in the Coastal Zone occupied by lower- income households. For example, if a proposed
Coastal Zone project would result in one fewer two- bedroom rental unit occupied by a
low -income household, the developer would pay a fee of $178,100 in lieu of replacing
that emit on site or off site.

Dear Resident,
As the upcoming new owners of Las Brisas Apartments, we would like to introduce
ourselves and share with you our plans for this exciting area.
We have recently submitted a proposal to the City of Newport Beach that would allow us
to build single - family and duplex homes where the Las Brisas Apartments are currently
located. We are in the initial planning stages and there is plenty of time before
construction would begin.
As such, we invite you to an informational meeting to learn more about our proposed
project. Please join us on Tuesday, July 10, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. at the Las Brisas
poolside. We will have light refreshments for you to enjoy while we discuss this project
and answer your questions and concerns.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, July I0`s.

Dject, private driveway, and signage.
missioner Eaton noted his concern of the change to Condition No. 61, and
to access Neptune Avenue noted by Ms. DeCaro.
sgarding Condition No. 61, Mr. Brine answered that there is an angle point ar
the one location where the driveway width may be less than 26 feet where tf
st of the internal roadway would be a minimum of 26 feet. Regarding cro:
lhts, Mr. Brine answered that unless there is something in a property title of M
3Caro, Neptune Avenue is a public street and access can be taken from a publ
reet to a private property.
er Toerge asked about the setbacks on Neptune Avenue;
the heights of the buildings.
Murillo answered the side yard setback in an MFR Zone with the current lot
figuration is 25 feet; however, if this project was subdivided into 30 -foot lots,
i the setbacks would be 3 feet. The view simulations represent what a
forming MFR project could be built to. The March 20, 2008 staff report on
e 10 describes the specific heights called out in the Zoning Compliance Table.
d Schooler, project architect, noted the following:
• Pictures of surrounding buildings to the existing building that is 36 years old,
• Perfect access opportunity at Neptune Avenue;
• Proposed construction will be compatible with the pattern and character of
the surrounding neighborhood that consists of two and three -story, single
unit and two -unit dwellings;
• Project is designed with internal facing garages with a center road;
• All public improvements will come off this internal road;
• Modification Permit is requested for encroachments into the required
setbacks and deviation from building separation requirements;

. Use Permit is requested to exceed the 28 -foot height limit up to a maximu
of 32 feet due to the ridge of the pitched roof;
Referring to Condition No. 7, the encroachment to the side yard setback
minimal and this happens only to a home on Seashore that is 4 feet aw
and the majority of the proposed building is only twenty feet high and the
is such a small amount of encroachment; we could cut this down, but i
don't think we should; a possible solution would be to take the roofs and t

iissioner Eaton noted the correspondence from Ms. Carvalho that
the affordable housing replacement.
Lepo answered, in terms of Coastal Residential Development Permits, the
ate statute is vague. It is up to each city to deal with. A prior example was an
omaly to the set of regulations as that property had been owned by the
plicant for many years and the value to him was to be able to build his
iirement home there and was not a matter of maximizing a return on that
onomic asset. He was willing to tear down a 10 -unit building and replace it with
ly three units to allow him to live on that property. If you were looking to
aximize your economic return on that property, you wouldn't have torn it down.
this case, under the Mello Act there is a provision that if a city has 50 or fewer
res of developable land, than all bets are off with requiring a strict one to one
)lacement. With fewer than 50 developable acres we did a feasibility analysis
d looked at the proforma provided by the developer to see if it is realistic to
)lace any of the units. In this case, with a tenant survey, we identified only six
cants, so we are requesting that six affordable replacement units shall be

Comment Letter #2 5515 River Avenue Objections
MND 3 -25 -08 Continuation of objections
I have spent numerous hours reviewing documents and files through a public
records act request and have had my earlier suspicions confirmed. I am asking that the
commission deny this project application based on the numerous objections I have raised.
I am concerned at what I have discovered and hope to shed light on this in the belief that
the planning commission will protect the city's residents and issue a denial of the
proposed project.
There are so many errors and inconsistencies it begs the question, if we can't trust
the numbers, why should we, trust this project?
Planning Commissioners are the gatekeepers for the integrity of the process for
land development. I intend to bring to light what I believe to be manipulation of the
process that has taken place over the past three years. I believe the applicant/investors
have viewed this project solely by profit potential, ignoring that it comes at the expense
of the residents and possibly the reputation of the city staff.
Inconsistencies with low income housing surveys:
• Project reconnaissance began 2005 (Schooler letter 11/9/05)
• App.initiated: 3 -2006 (survey required 13 replacement/ low income units)
• App. withdrawn: 1 -29 -2007
• App. resubmitted: 5 -2007 (survey required 6 replacement/ low income units)
TENANT INCOME MATRIX (June 2007) compiled/forwarded by applicant
0 54 units'
• 13 units vacant
• 27 no response
• 14 responses:
(1) disqualified due to being out of country?
(7) above income requirement
0 3 claimed identical income of $688,258 ( ? ?)
0 1 listed as apt. manager suite (per internet rental listing)
• (4) moderate
• (2) very lo�v
When I reviewed files at the city I informed staff that there are missing documents
that particularly relate to the rental surveys and was told the records are in a confidential
file based on personal tenant info and I was not allowed to review. I stated personal
tenant information could be redacted, however, l was informed that I would have to make
a request of the city attorney and time does not allow this. I had been requesting the
Keyser Marston study'for months, as I was aware it contained information regarding
replacement housing and had been told it was unavailable,
l�V\
I was however able to ascertain much of the information in its most generic form
from letters contained in the files that substantially illustrates what I believe to be an
inappropriate process by the applicant. The records I reviewed indicate that it is primarily
the same applicants that have been involved in this project since 2005. Original project
was withdrawn 1/29/07 after being on hold, per Brandon Nichols, planner.
Applicants withdrew, (1129/07) their original project application to the city after
their surveys determined that 13 units were occupied by (3) very -low, (7) low, & (3)
moderate- income households, triggering Government Code Section 65590, replacement -
housing requirements. Rental surveys were submitted to city prior to August 2006, as
evidenced in a letter dated 8 -7 -2006 from Keyser Marston that stated total replacement
housing obligations of 13 units was based on data provided by the city. I do not have the
number of respondents, (confidential file ?) which is important, as non - responders are not
even counted as low or moderate income.
Applicants re- applied with same project, w/ minor revision & replacing one of the
initial applicants (05/ 2007). The low- income survey submitted by applicant was re -done
again, only this time survey resulted in only 6 units occupied by (2) very low, low, or (4)
moderate - income households. Applicant requested tenants return survey to them by June
15, 2007.
The process of income survey evaluation was compromised in that the income
surveys were initiated, compiled, and returned to the city by the applicant. The applicant
has a direct conflict of interest as replacement of low- income housing can amount to
millions of dollars in direct costs to the developer. Allowing the process to be governed
by those that would substantially profit by a survey showing the least amount of low -
income residents is a flawed process. There is an obvious conflict of interest that arises
when the applicant is responsible for submitting rental income surveys and receiving the
responses. There is an inherent likelihood of underreporting low- income tenants when
survey results indicate the level the investor /applicants are responsible for with regards to
replacing these units.
It is indeed troubling that the low- income housing survey matrix was resubmitted
for the same project by the applicant, and the numbers changed drastically from one year
to the next. I believe the true low- income figures are considerably higher than reported.
There is no way of verifying the validity of what the applicant submitted, however, the
ability to question the prior /current tenants to find the "truth' still exists, additionally
shedding light on "incentives" to move.
Las Brisas Apartments replaced the prior property manager with the current
property management company months before the June 2007 survey completion. Current
property management changed rental policy that would require applicant income level of
a minimum of $66,200 per individual with no co- signers. This policy went into effect
prior to the rental survey of June 2007. Numerous units became vacant during the
income verification period, in part as a result of tenants being told continually that project
is going through, and stayed vacant as a result of the policy. I have been informed that
1v2-
many tenants have already moved as a result of the "done deal" or "incentives"
previously offered.
I believe the city needs to have an established program in place regarding
developer -in -lieu fees paid for by the developer for fulfilling replacement- housing
obligations on site. No financial feasibility analysis of developer would be required if
there were an established program. Financial feasibility studies can favor the developer
since much of the information analyzed originates and is held by the developer. A
bonded, neutral escrow company should be in charge of entire rental survey process
whereby results are potentially worth millions. Additionally mailing CEQA noticing
with labeling coming from applicant should be avoided as well. In this project case, I
believe labels should have been updated as labels were from previous year and several
owners did not receive notification due to incorrect address.
Finally, condo conversions require noticing of tenants. Many cities require
noticing of tenants within 100' of any coastal project. In this case, there was no noticing
of tenants at all. The effect of demolishing units and displacing them is a more serious
effect to the tenants than condo conversion, yet tenants of Las Brisas were not notified,
nor were the surrounding tenants in the neighborhood. The majority of owners live out of
town, so it is crucial that the tenants affected be noticed.
Apparent lack of transparency regarding applicant's pro -forma
MND failed to have the review of the financial pro forma submitted by The
Natelson Dale Group, (TNDG) available, as it was dated March 10, 2008. Since the
conclusions of this report offer mitigations for replacement housing in the amount of at
least 1.8 million to 2.0 million, this report brings forth new evidence that should have
been available as part of the MND during the comment period.
Further TNDG stated they "conducted a limited and brief review ", to analyze the
pro forma based on three basic components that included total sales of $58,950,000; Land
purchase of $25,500,000; and development costs of $28,434,500. TNDG found that "only
the development costs are documented in any detail on the pro forma ". TNDG went on to
state, "the basis of $58.95 million in sales revenue is not indicated, and the land purchase
price is apparently based on the CBRE appraisal (per City staff, the applicant has
confirmed that the site is in escrow for $25.5 million, contingent on project approval). "
Underscore added.
It is inconceivable that there is no proof of escrow instructions, good faith
deposits, loan commitments, etc.. I am concerned that the MND and staff project review
is relying on the applicant's word instead of requiring adequate documentation. TNDG
appropriately raised many troubling issues in their report. They further stated, "given the
limited documentation and the short timeframe available for this assignment, it has not
been possible for TNDG to independently evaluate the financial feasibility of the
project."
1k.v3
Staff appropriately ordered a review of the pro forma by The Natelson Dale
Group, (TNDG) regarding the amount the applicant could afford to pay. I was satisfied
that it appeared obvious to this consultant that "the truth" could not be apparent if the
applicant holds all the information. The following quote from TNDG, should resonate
with the board in keeping with the tenets of being the gatekeepers for the ethical
adherence to land use decisions. TNDG pro forma review stated: "In fact, the very
content of this letter reveals only a few of the subtleties involved in attempting to arrive at
the "truth" in these matters, given that the developer effectively has control of much of
the relevant information." Underscoring added.
The following are some additional points not fully covered in previous comment
letter. There are so many errors that I have found, that it should cause the planning
commission to deny this project based on errors and inconsistencies alone.
Conflict of Interest & inclusion of General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan
As stated in my previous comment letter, I generally object to the inclusion of
architect/applicants on any city board where the applicant is reviewing and offering
opinion on policies that can directly impact his clients or investors. There is more than
adequate experience on this committee without bringing in architects as advisors. I
specifically object to Mr. Schooler's inclusion on this committee.
A more appropriate use of architects would be to serve on a design review
committee that doesn't include giving input to municipal codes or policies. I have
viewed:the video regarding the establishment and resolution passed for this committee.
Although it may be well intentioned, the unintended consequences are obvious when
architects may have projects that are coming before the city, and residents concerns are
not equally represented. It would also be naive to think that friendships and trust do not
become a component of serving on boards together. Having the ability to interface with
the decision makers on a regular basis could be seen as an unfair advantage. Inclusion on
this committee would allow applicant to become involved in the inner workings of the
process as well as possibly gaining the trust of those serving on this committee.
Numerous previous issues with the MND defined further:
• MND was released prior to the majority of staff input (requested 2-
26-08). Majority of staff responses were released in March 2008.
• Inability to read even the 11 x18 plans to check for accuracy. This is a
requirement of CEQA that project is clearly defined.
�kDA
• Noise levels inaccurate
MIVD inadequately analyzes noise levels and implies reductions of dBA levels
without substantiating or analyzing the impacts. "HVAC systems are proposed for all
units within the project site. Therefore, standard building construction would achieve the
interior noise requirements for new building construction In the state of California. "
New construction requires interior noise of 45 dBA (MND p. 84). MND claims noise is
reduced by 24dBA if all windows and doors are closed. Exterior noise level is
59 — 24= 35dBA. (provided that all windows and doors are shut). This is a faulty
assumption since plans do not show any placement or inclusion of air conditioning units.
Homes in this area typically do not include air conditioning due to the proximity to the
beach. The faulty assumption is that the windows will he closed because they will use air
conditioners. Yet HVAC units contribute to dBA level increases for both interior and
exterior. These results have not been addressed at all in the MND. There are vast
differences in the dBA levels that HVAC units create.
MND, (p 84) states that if windows are open, dBA levels are only reduced by 12.
This would make interior noise level of new units beyond acceptable. Project area that
includes direct line of sight to the highway, including the second and third story building
facades facing the highway, have reported exterior noise levels of 67.3 dBA CNEL per
the NMD. This would be far beyond noise requirements with 55.3 dBA if windows were
open. MND claim that it would comply if windows were shut, fails to address the
increase from the HVAC unit noise itself The MND ignores the obvious, there is no
HVAC unit on the market that can deliver at 1.7dBA or less. This is the number that
would be necessary for noise compliance. MND wants to assert that windows will be
kept shut in order to comply with noise requirements and states HVAC units are planned
Additionally, the placement and running of air conditioning units would add to
the exterior noise levels for the surrounding neighbors and there is inadequate
information as to the size, location, and motor /fan specs. MND gave inadequate
information in analyzing HVAC impacts. Newport Beach has interior noise levels of 40
dBA in the evening from 10 p.m to 7a.m.. Windows would be open during this time in
the summer, while the new project would have them shut using the HVAC.
MND inadequate analysis of noise impacts is evident. There are no plans
depicting location of HVAC units, nor any analysis to exterior noise levels. Each
condenser unit needs to reflect location, cooling capacity relating to tons, effect of all 24
units running concurrently and the effect to the surrounding neighbors. Interior and
exterior noise levels for both project and surrounding neighbors will not meet ordinance
level.
City of Newport Beach /Notes per Noise Element;
Mechanical Equipment Noise
(p. 7 city noise element) Various Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
installations and occasional pool and spa pumps can be noise intrusions. Noise intrusions
t (05
from HVAC equipment has been a problem in the past, especially in areas such as Balboa
Island, Lido Island, and the Peninsula where the homes are very close together, and in
commercial areas as well when abutting residential areas. However, the City's Municipal
Code now requires a permit before installation of new HVAC equipment. Pen-nits are
only granted when a sound rating of the proposed equipment does not exceed standards,
or is installed with a timing device that will deactivate the equipment during the hours of
10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. if the standards are exceeded.
Just because HVAC equipment sound ratings are reviewed during plan check, as well as
tested in the field after installation, it can still be problematic over time. As equipment
ages and sometimes suffers from lack of maintenance, noise from the equipment can
increase. Because of this, the City still deals with HVAC equipment noise on a complaint
basis, in order insure ongoing compliance with the standards of the Code.
Stationary Noise Sources Policy N 4.1 (p 29 Noise element)
Enforce interior and exterior noise standards outlined in Table N3, and in the
City's Municipal Code to ensure that sensitive noise receptors are not exposed
to excessive noise levels from stationary noise sources, such as heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning� equipment (Imp 7.1)
• There is no "right" to have Neptune extended
The Planning Center claims the applicant has a "right" to have Neptune be
extended. They are incorrect. Although Neptune doesn't fit the technical term for a "cul-
de- sac ", it is nevertheless a street that terminated at 5406 Neptune. Terminus is signed,
fenced, blockaded and has never allowed road access to the adjacent apartment building.
Further the setback required of the apartment building was 50' at the time. Current
MND statements show that the setback is "at least" 25'. However, based on the 8%
setback rule for MFR'S based on property line, the front property line on River is prox
465', which would be about 37' for the setback.
Planning center counter comments that the side setback for project goes from 7 to
11.5'. This is the first time those numbers were mentioned. Question, why then is the
modification permit asking for, (MND p 25) "3 foot sidevard setback where the MFR
zone requires approximately 25 feet sidevard setback based on lot width. "? Further, this
is misleading based on the geometries narrowing as lot reaches Seashore Ave., and would
be unacceptable as proposed.
Preliminary title report dated 2 -28 -06 used the ALTA survey from 1998. Item 6 in
title policy (order no 9836049) for 5515 River Ave. states "The fact that the ownership
of said land does not include right of access to or from the street highway or
freeway abutting said land, such rights having been relinquished by the map of said
Tract."
Noted: "Affects seashore drive, except at street intersections ". This is important as it
would have been obvious to the surveyor there is a curb cut on seashore. (]previously
stated that people had accessed this throughway from River to Seashore supporting a
)'P �
prescriptive rights easement). It would be important to note the apartment/project has "no
ri t" to access Seashore. Apartment building has "no right" to access Neptune as it was
obvious through the constructed barrier and termination of the street as shown on the tract
map. The right of access is what they have shown on the original tract, showing sole
access from River Avenue.
To reiterate, project lot does not include right of access to or from Neptune
Avenue that abuts their property, any rights of access were relinquished during the
acceptance of the Tract.
Additionally, per the tract map #3813 that includes subject property, (my property
is NOT part of tract). Map clearly shows the delineated area of 37.51' that provided
access for the ingress/egress on River Avenue. This is directly abutting my property and
provides for the current opening for the driveway access. Maintaining this access area
instead of using Neptune would alleviate many issues.
It should also be noted that my title policy for 5406 Neptune shows property line
"most westly cor lot 7 block 54 of River Section encompassing Neptune Ave. and
terminating at back edge of Seashore propert y. My title policy does not give access rights
to the abutting property.
13. 01.010 Findings and Purpose
G. The City must exercise control over the design and construction of public streets, as
well as intersections between City streets and roadways serving development located
outside of the City, to ensure that traffic on City streets is not undulv impaired. and, to
ensure, to the maximum extent feasible, that streets and intersections are designed and
E29
The Public Works Director shall approve a permit if, after investigation, it is determined.,
A. That the proposed improvement conforms to all applicable City plans, ordinances,
resolutions, policies, rules, standards and specifications; and
8. That permittee has the ability to comply with all conditions imposed upon the permit;
and
C. That the proposed improvement will not unreasonably interfere with vehicular or
pedestrian traffic; and
D. That the proposed improvement, as designed, will not create any significant risk of
injury to persons using the roadway, adjacent roadways, or proverty adiacent to the
roadways,; and
E That the health, safety and welfare of persons using the roadway to be improved,
adjacent roadways, or Property adjacent to the roadways, will not be adversely
affected. (Ord. 85-9 § 1 (part), 1985)
Neptune is specifically deeded as a street. This provided for the safety of the
Seashore residents ingress/egress providing for enough space to safely pull out of
garages. If project site is allowed to remove Neptune as a cul -de -sac to become
effectively an alley, it will be negating the intention of this road. Project proposal for
Neptune to become an alley is also showing road to be narrower than the existing 30'
street. Proposed alley is further impacted by project having garages on both the North
10
and South side of road, unlike the current configuration of existing homes entries facing
Neptune Avenue, without garage access. It also appears that fire trucks or trash trucks
could easily clip the buildings.
Alteration of Neptune Avenue from a terminating street to transition to an alley
will adversely impact the health, safety and welfare of the citizens who live on Neptune
or whose property backs Neptune Ave, yet only homes within 300' are notified of this
impact. Further, no noticing is given to resident tenants. Noticing was only given to
property owners, which inhibits public comments as many property owners live too far to
come to hearings, and probably are unaware of the consequences of the impacts if they
are only given information from the applicant with a vested financial interest in having
the project proceed.
13.01.080 Appeal.
Any applicant aggrieved by a decision of the Public Works Director shall have the right to appeal
the decision to the City Council by riling written notice of appeal, the appeal must be riled with the
City Clerk within ten days from the date on which notice of the decision is deposited in the U.S.
Mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the parties as provided on the application for permit. The
City Council shall, within thirty (30) days from the date on which an appeal is received, schedule a
hearing on the appeal within a reasonable period of time. The City Council may preside over the
hearing on appeal, or may designate a hearing officer to take evidence and submit a proposed
decision, together with findings, to the City Council within fifteen (15) days from the date of the
hearing. The City Council shall render its decision within thirty (30) days from the date of the
hearing, and the decision of the City Council shall be final. (Ord. 85-9 § i (part), 1985)
I hereby notice that I will appeal any approvals for connection from Neptune Ave
to project and request notification of Public Works Director be informed of my
objections.
Public Works Director correctly stipulated in his conditions that the on -site
parking, vehicular circulation and pedestrian circulation system shall be subiect to further
review by the City Traffic Engineer, (dated 2- 28 -08). Engineer additionally noted plans
do not scale correctly, ADA parking stall is incorrect, carports need to be pushed back
two feet to ease access into and out of parking stalls, internal roadway minimum of 24'
wide, clearly identify pedestrian paths throughout site, columns need to be aligned wider
than garage doors, etc.
There would need to be even further revisions as the fire access lane must be 26'
and this wasn't taken into account in prior memorandums. Pathways are not marked and
would appear that entry to and through the alley is the promoted path to the beach access.
This would be dangerous and would require additional comments from public works.
13.06.050 Standards for Issuance of Permit. The Public Works Director shall issue a permit
hereunder when he finds:
1. That the work will conform to the requirements set forth in the driveway approach policy
adopted by the City Council, as well as the Standard Specifications of the City for public
work of like character,
2. That the project as proposed will not unreasonably interfere with vehicular and
pedestrian traffic, the demand and necessity for parking spaces, and the means of ingress
and egress to and from the property affected and adjacent properties;
V
3. That the health, welfare and safety of the public will not be unreasonably impaired. (Ord.
1320 § 1 (part); December 8, 1969)
(2)Project as proposed unreasonably interferes with the means of ingress
and egress to and from the adjacent properties. Adjacent properties on Seashore
Drive have their double garages facing Neptune Avenue. Said properties must back
out onto Neptune Ave for ingress/egress.
This ingress /egress will be unreasonably impaired as the current street is
30' wide with on street parking and a sidewalk. The addition of over 100 cars
using this as access to the new alley portion will cause unreasonable hardship on
existing property owners. Currently drivers can easily see if there is parking
available prior to entering into the small cul -de -sac area. If the alley is put
through, numerous cars will drive through this street in search of parking in
addition to the Project residents accessing their garages on both_ sides of the alley.
This will encourage an endless parade of cars.
Mitigation: Provide the access to Project residents as it currently exists,
(both driveways from River and additionally add access to and from Seashore.)
This driveway approach is not infeasible and was used as ingress /egress for this
property in this manner in the past. This is the most reasonable and equitable
approach.
(3) Health, welfare, and safety of the public will be unreasonably impaired.
Properties that purchase lots on cul -de -sacs are paying a premium to pay for the
added safety by insuring there will be no drive - through traffic. This provides for a
safer roadway for children as well an increased public safety location. Cul -de -sacs
or dead end streets are well known for the safety benefits. LOS at morning and
evening rush hours will add to the pollution in front of the existing residences as it
is likely the project related traffic will back up and cars will idle directly in front of
the front facing Neptune Avenue properties, especially in the morning and evening
traffic.
A previous Newport Beach project similar to this (8- 18 -05) required
applicant to dedicate property. In that situation, the developer provided reasonable
mitigation by reducing density to equivalent of 10 homes per 1.5 acres and
dedicated a lot for public access.
Public Access: The Coastal Act requires "maximum access" to the shoreline for the
public. New developments must provide public access unless adequate access exists
nearby. Proposed project is removing access not creating it.
City Council Policy L -4 requires that private streets be constructed to the same
standards as public streets and including sidewalks.
The project internal road is inadequate to provide sidewalk and fire access lanes
without complete revision of plans.

3. Private Streets. Private streets may be approved at the discretion of the tentative map

An alley cannot be a street. You cannot transition from street to alley. How do
you delineate Neptune Ave. from Neptune Alley? Alley can't be a fire lane. Fire
lane requires 26 feet. Where will the sidewalks be that are required? Where do you
paint no parking? How to enforce no parking if not gated? Street sweepers paid for
to go through Neptune, will they turn off their sweepers at alley entrance?
This entire project is so full of conflicting information and spin; it appears to be
an attempt to later "utilize" the errors.
Inconsistencies with turning Neptune into an alley:
• Plans show extension of Neptune as both "private road" and "driveway ".
• Plans show road easement as 24'.
• Fire department requires it to be an access lane 26' wide, with no parking,
painted and with signs.
• City Council Policy L-4 requires that private streets be constructed to the
same standards as public streets, including sidewalks.
10
More problems & Inconsistencies:
• Confirmation of facts: Stamped demolition plan by surveyor shows
existing bldg is 48,743 (DP -1). I also had proof from title company the
apartment is 48,744, yet the MND used square footage from old building
permit (inflating existing apt. by prox 5,000 square feet). I was only able
to confirm this information by personally reviewing documents at city
hall. Misstatement of existing bldg appears to be an attempt to mislead, as
the argument is that this project is less dense. Clearly by exaggerating the
square footage of building, one wouldn't realize the proposed project is
considerably more dense.
• Drawings do not show adequate dimensions of streets, setbacks, and
public right of way. Drawings are not stamped by Schooler. Drawing
dimensions are inconsistent
• MND (p27) says 60 parking spaces. Other par €s state parking is 63 spaces.
I have reviewed the plans, it appears to only have 60 spaces, but plans are
illegible for detail.
• Evaluation of parking spaces at existing complex are 101 spaces and
should have been stated in the MND as I pointed out, since removing 41
spaces while adding residents will have significant impacts.
• MND states landscaping as 32.2% (p. 40), yet C -1, A -1 site plan both
show landscaping to be 28.24% (shown on page 53 from Staff packet).
• 2006 city required trees on Seashore be maintained
• 2007, city required trees be removed.
• Expired stamp (5/30/05) from topographic from. South Coast Surveying.
This would require new plans in order to be wet stamped due to the age of
the documents.
• FAR, lot size; current apartment square footage, setbacks, etc. are
incorrect in various areas of the MND.
• 30 day noticing for CEQA was inadequate. Proof exists MND was not
completed until 2/26/08. Notification was emailed to me evening of
2/27/08. There is proof of improper notice on the apartment building, no
noticing of resident tenants within 100 feet of project. I objected to the
noticing being inadequate and made the request (3/20/08) for public
hearing to be continued, it was motioned, seconded, but we were then told
public comment would be heard. We were informed of ex -parte
communication that the applicant would be late as he had some bugs in his
power point presentation. Some residents waited for 4 hours to speak only
to be told the item had been continued. When I asked about this, I was told
that it was confusing and that they didn't vote on it.
}/1 \
COMMENTS TO MND COMMENTS:
C -2: I never received the mailing for public review, only the public hearing notice. It
was sent to public hearing house before it was released to public. It was sent as a
Negative Dec, not a MIND. "Occupants" were NEVER notified. Staff confirmed that only
homeowners were notified. The MIND was not available until after 2/26/08. The site
wasn't posted on the 20'h, but even if it had been, 30 -day review would end on 3/21/08.
Therefore, your notice was incorrect and therefore invalid.
I asked for an extension of time for the public comment period from the lead
agency. They did not respond that they would extend public comment period. The fact
that the hearing was postponed does not obligate you to accept public comment, nor is
that what you have done. Documents state public comment has been closed. Planning
commission hearing was ultimately continued, although I asked for its continuance based
on improper noticing. No action to renotice was taken.
C -3 Disagree
C -4 Neptune may not fit the "cul -de -sac" term, however, this is a moot point. The point
is that Neptune terminates at 5406 Neptune. It has never provided vehicle access for
apartment building. Please see prior notes regarding title policy that proves that the
project has no right to extend Neptune, as they have no access rights.
You fail to consider or analyze my initial point that traffic is a result of number of
bedrooms or square footage. You have increased square footage of property from 48,744
to 57,906, increased bedroom count from 68 to 84, which will obviously increase tenants
and traffic.
You refer to a "connection" to Neptune. You admit that there will be no
convenient beach access created to Seashore or any other street. It appears applicant
would prefer to dump all the traffic for this project in front of the Neptune homes.
You state project connection site would be clearly marked and appear as a private
property to discourage public from entering and using the driveway as a pass -thru. How
will this be accomplished? How will applicant make it appear private? Again, do the
existing residents supply the sidewalks and parking for the public while applicant enjoys
"private parking status "? All 12 spaces of visitor parking will be marked clearly as
"residents only ". Again, applicant wants to enjoy "private" parking status even though
project is directly adjacent to our city park, while all of us that have owned property for
years are to supply the parking demands for the city.
Comment that states that creating a circular traffic rttem would be minimal,
including beach traffic are arguable. The area between 54` and 56`" is renowned for its
fantastic surf. We have always accepted the surfer's need to use and park in our area, and
we are fine with that, but this will create the early morning search for parking. If
Neptune is opened up numerous visitors will drive down the road to loop around in a
search for parking. As it stands, one can look from 54th and determine easily if there is
12
�1
parking in front of the three homes, if not, they don't bother going down the street. This
will not be the case if this street is opened.
You state that it is inaccurate that project will force over one hundred cars from
the development. This is not inaccurate. It is common sense, 84 bedrooms, 84 tenants,
throw in a few visitors and you are there.
C -5 There are significant impacts that cannot be mitigated to less than significant
C -6 You assumed that 25 feet was the maximum side setback. It is not. The lot width of
prox 465' x's 8% is the setback. 25' is used as a minimum. Therefore, based on 37.5',
my view would be maintained. Further the setback originally demanded 50' from the
side. Maintaining the 20' setback from Seashore and 37.5' side yard, would preserve my
view.
You refer to a conforming project; however, a conforming project based on MFR
would allow setbacks that would provide ocean views. This project is not conforming, it
is going for modifications, use permits, etc.
You refer to that social information can be in any form the agency desires. This
project effects low income renters and as such per CEQA, needs to be evaluated under
"environmental justice ". One of the criteria for evaluation would be if there were any
high or adverse Project impacts that would disproportionately affect minority or low -
income populations? According to rent survey in 2006 13 of the 54 units were low
income. The numbers were addressed earlier in this letter.
C -8 "The applicant has concluded ". Herein lies the problem, this is obvious spin put
forth by a developer that is looking to change the character of the neighborhood. The
developer may not realize that his vision may not be what the tenants envision, it may not
be what the surrounding residents envision, the vision applicant promotes is one that
maximizes profit potential at the expense of the surrounding tenants and neighbors.
Three years of construction noise, loss of thousands of dollars in rents, loss of the only
stable apartment rentals for low and moderate income professionals, and loss of our
market values is apparently a vision this applicant won't open his eyes to see.
C -9 General plan did not set out to have one type of building. They specifically allowed
for areas of SFR, R -2, MFR and reflected this in the zoning. These surrounding homes
purchased knowing the existing zoning. Applicant would like to have the benefit of the
MFR for height, the benefit of SFR for the setbacks, and increase the footprint, height,
density while reducing parking spaces by 41, completely inhibiting public access to the
beach through the "private" community. Adjacent to the project, Neptune properties are
34' wide and Seashore properties are 40' wide. The apartment was compatible with the
generous setbacks and is the reason we purchased our home where we did. The project is
not compatible.
C -10 Applicant states setbacks are comparable with R -1 and R -2. The issue is that this
project is in MFR Flawed logic, you state, "similar setback and distancing requirements
are common throughout the City and have not proven detrimental". Given this logic, one
13
113
could just pick and choose zoning as long as it is common throughout the city. The
zoning was put in place with a particular long -term vision for the city that was an attempt
to be inclusionary. Removing the apartment building is a blatant attempt to remove
lower income residents.
C -11 According to staff, they consider any floor space above the second story to be 3
stories. This is not a universal definition. I was referring to true three story buildings,
which the apartment is. Three stories are not the norm and they are not the buildings
directly adjacent to this project.
Three stories by definition require prox. 28' for a flat roof, as such. 28/32,
appears inconsistent with area as current bldg is prox 28'. Again, the appearance that
going 5' over the 28' with a use permit is too massive for the area given the close
proximity to the adjacent neighbors. Although allowed, the drawings don't show
;measurements for the additional height of the chimney that would add further to
increased height.
C -12 Another different setback number, going from 71/2 to 13. The setback
modification that is being asked for is 3'. 13' is not adequate, but I don't trust that plans
wouldn't be revised later to take advantage of 3' setback.
C -15 I do not trust the numbers, as there are numerous discrepancies. I would like to see
the worksheets substantiating the numbers. As previously stated, landscape area is
reported in MND as 32.2 %, whereas on the plans (C -1 & A -1) it states proposed
landscape as 28.24 %. Numbers you quote in your comment for proposed landscaping of
18,390 square feet represent 28.24% are again, inconsistent with the MND page 40,
wherein it shows 32.2% 20,987 square feet.
Plans do not adequately reflect public right of way. Existing grass area shows
planned trees. These trees would be on public right of way with the expense of
maintenance landing on the city. 10 trees for city to maintain could average $10,000 per
year.
C -16 There was not a named street, but this area was accessed from River to Seashore
many years ago. It was on private property, but it was used to access Seashore, proof still
exists, as there is a curb cut where it was once used. Property owner fenced off this area
many years ago to stop access from the public. Neptune is not a defined cul -de -sac, but
is a dead end street and never intended for adjacent property access.
C -17 Faulty Logic. 54 units consisting of less square footage, less bedrooms, less
height, with far larger setbacks cannot be considered to be more dense than proposed.
Assume you have a 4- unit apartment complex that is 4,000 square feet and you replace it
with a 10,000 square foot single family home, does that make the home project less dense
because it is 3 units less? Of course not! Charts may indicate less traffic, but common
sense tells a different story.
14 ��,j.
C -18 It was the MND that used the FAR in the first place. This is still an effective way
to compare the two, and once again, the numbers on the MND were way off. MND
presented FAR as .76 when in fact it was .91. Further, how can you do the floor area
limit when you don't know what setbacks you will be using?
Stating the obvious that the large setback are not typical for surrounding development
fails to take notice that this is an apartment building, specifically zoned for this purpose.
As far as stating the park will remain public, unfortunately, you have already
stated that your applicant will try to discourage public entry through your development,
leading one to believe that this will further the public opinion that the park belongs to the
applicant project.
C -29 Health risks to the young & elderly with exposures of up to three years during
construction, asbestos in the air, dirt and lead as a result of vacant land all have an effect.
C -31 Commenter was not confused. I was stating that the model that was used can have
questionable results and gave an example of such.
C -33 2006 Public works required retention of the city trees in the sidewalk off Seashore,
then required in 2007 removing them. Questionable certainly.
C -39 Typographical errors cannot be ignored when they lead to confusion and
obfuscation of project details. This is contrary to CEQA guidelines.
C -41 More typos lead to more confusion
C -43 You state lead paint is only a concern when ingested. However, lead paint can be
inhaled and ingested through construction activities.
C -49 Parking spaces are 101 of which, these spaces were never mentioned in the MND.
Again, it appears to be more spin. Using parking spaces per unit, regardless of size or
bedrooms is disingenuous. I know what is required; I am stating what the reality of
reduced parking spots will be. Our city council direction is to require more parking and
beach access. This is a step backwards. Further, once again we have inconsistencies in
the numbers, wherein you state there are 63 parking spaces. MND states 60, layout plans
show 60, but this discrepancy continues.
C -50 There are numerous mistakes that lean favorably and falsely toward the project
being presented in a more favorable light. You didn't address all inconsistencies.
C -51 This should be broken down for a transparent picture, combining numbers appears
deceptive.
C -52 Restated, with appropriate conforming setbacks for MFR my view would not be
impacted. Issue ignored was that the view corridor was known for a number of years, yet
MND failed to address.
15
I.0
C -60 Missed my point. There never has been vehicular access to Neptune and should not
have been included in this statement.
C -61 Seashore village has no right to use Neptune ave. See above title policy notes. It is
not less intense and will increase traffic and exacerbate parking problems.
C -62 This design alternative is only infeasible if applicant determines it is not profitable
enough for him and his investors. Cramming the lot full of square box condos as the only
feasible project is short sighted. This is a wide flat lot, there are no physical restrictions,
and given that this is not a remodel, there is no excuse for this line of reasoning.
Unfortunately, this appears to be all about maximizing investor potential at the expense
of Newport Beach residents and tenants.
Again, you have stated inconsistencies regarding the roadway width. The
comment states internal roadway will be 26 feet. This is inconsistent with plans showing
24' and other areas referenced above. Further, the assertion that it would actually
improve the mobility of large emergency vehicles serving Neptune is untrue. The three
homes on Neptune are all on River Ave. as well and fire access and fire hydrant is on the
corner of River. River is 60 feet and Neptune is 30 feet less sidewalks. There is nothing
positive about opening up Neptune.
C -64 City could still be held liable if found there was willful negligence causing harm to
parties.
C -67 Plans fail to show where trash receptacles will be (or mail service).
C -69 Fire department required fire hydrant in 2006 and in 2007 was not required.
C -71 There appear to be only 60 parking spaces on plans. Parking space should be per sq.
ftg. or bedrooms
C -81 Noise analysis was inadequate regarding the use of air conditioners and is
addressed in detail in this letter
C -82 TNDG stated applicant could pay up to 2 million. However, no analysis can be
assured as the applicant has the documentation that pro formas are based on.
C -83 What difference would lowering the height be on just one home on both streets
when those directly adjacent are taller? This makes no sense at all. It is more important
for the setbacks to be maintained, making the height differential less obvious.
C -85 I already guessed this applicant would leave the public area open to the residents as
it is a benefit to them and again appears that the park is private. The applicant is
effectively inhibiting access to the only public parking for the park as project residents
(who can afford to feed the meters) will simply access these spots as well.
C -99 There are no marked walkway or pathways through the project on plans except
where there is private parking. Walking through a private complex alley, that you
16
116
admittedly state will try to discourage public accessing the road, will indeed inhibit
public access to the beach.
View Corridor Analysis photos (page 2) are incorrect. They are taken from the
ground floor levels. The view is only from the upper unit balcony & living room as
previously stated.
Page 6 Setback deceptive. Why would drawing show a line from garage at 20' when
that is not the footprint? It also shows height limit at 29, yet item C -83 states that two
structures will be at the 24 -foot base height limit. This is still 29', still 11 feet taller than
my building.
Page 10 phasing map shows alley access as 24'
I didn't have the time to go through to correct inconsistencies in Staff Report with
the MND and late filed documents. I am not implying fault with the staff. I am aware
that the report is only as good as the information given to staff. However, the following
inconsistencies should be pointed out:
Staff report (p 5) states existing apartment building is 54,739, however plans DP-
1 shows existing building as 48,743. This is the correct number. Report incorrectly calls
extension from Neptune a "driveway ". This was confirmed from public works not to use
alley. However, plans also show it as driveway, private road, and is referred to in
documents as the alley. It also has to be consistent with a 26' fire access road, yet none of
the plans show this. Easement on plans shows 24'.
Nowhere are setbacks addressed from the required fire access lane. Surrounding
neighborhood requires setbacks from Neptune. This would be inconsistent to have
Neptune become an alley /fire access requiring sidewalk on one side without setbacks.
Plans, MND and staff report are inconsistent throughout. Staff report (p 5)
project description states 63 parking spots. Page 2 MND states 60 parking spaces. Plans
show on C -1 63 parking spaces, yet A -1 & PL -1 plans appear to show only 60 parking
spaces. The lack of required numbers and the illegibility of the plans prove inadequate for
CEQA.
I ask for this project to be denied. It is too dense, too tall, will exacerbate parking
problems, not aesthetically pleasing, harm adjacent property values, and remove the
apartment building for moderately low income renters. Any "in- lieu" fees, will do
nothing to help the people this project will displace. Please deny this project.

Dear Ms. DeCaro,
Extending the public comment period will require that the public hearing for project be
continued to a later date. The project is on the Planning Commission agenda and has been
noticed. Only the Planning Commission can approve a continuance and they can only do so
at the March 20 meeting. Therefore, you will need to make your request to the Planning
Commission. If you send a letter, fax, or email to the Planning Department, we will see that it
is delivered to the Planning Commission.
I should point out that the Planning Commission has a particularly heavy agenda for this
meeting. There is a good chance that this project will be continued due to time constraints.
Incidentally, I checked.with the State Clearing House. Their records show that the public
review period for the MND started on 02/19/08; therefore, it will end on 03/20/08.
As for the documents you would like to review, they are all contained in the project files.
They are available for you to review at the Planning Department during normal business
hours. Copies can be made upon request.

Hi Patrick
Thank you for your time today. As lead agency. I requested an extension of time for public comment on the MND and provided a copy of the letter
sent to city clerk and Mr. Nichols (below in italics) demanding such.
You stated that Jaime Murillo wrote the staff summary and that David Lepo assigned Mr. Murillo to take over for Brandon Nichols handling of the
Seashore Village Project. Could you confirm who would have approved staff report! what planning staff members will be at the hearing this week? I
also am still requesting the documents described in my public records act request
As for the extension, please consider the following
15201. Public Participation Public participation is an essential part of the CEQA process. Each public agency
should include provisions in its CEQA procedures for wide public involvement, formal and informal, consistent with its
existing activities and procedures, in order to receive and evaluate public reactions to environmental issues related to the
agency's activities. Such procedures should include, whenever possible, making environmental information available in
electronic format on the Internet, on a web site maintained or utilized by the public agency.
Note: Authority cited: Section 21083, Public Resources Code; Reference: Sections 21000, 21082, 21108, and 21152,
Public Resources Code; Environmental Defense Fund v. Coastside County Water District, (1972) 27 Cal. App. 3d 695;
People v. County of Kern, (1974) 39 Cal. App. 3d 830; County of1hyo v. City ofLos Angeles, (1977) 71 Cal. App. 3d 185.
Discussion: This section declares the importance of public participation as an element of the CEQA process. This section
encourages agencies to provide notice on the internet when possible. Internet posting offers the public yet another means of
being informed about a project.
In Concerned Citizens of Costa Mesa, Inc. v. 32nd District Agricultural, Assoc. (1986) 42 Cal. 3d 929, the court
emphasized that the public holds a "privileged position" in the CEQA process "based on a belief that citizens can make
important contributions to environmental protection and on notions of democratic decision making."
I request an extension of time for the public comment or a postponement of hearing, I will need to have an answer by tomorrow.
Thanks very much for your time,
Lennie(949)240 -2606
1 am requesting an extension of time to respond to the MND, based on over 1.000 pages of documents to review and the shortened time period

RE: Seashore Villaee, LLC
To the City attorney, et al,
Newport Beach has violated the noticing requirements per CEOA (15072 &
Section 21092.3), rendering notice invalid. I request a continuation of hearing (3- 20 -08)
and new noticing for public comment time period to be extended. Please respond
immediately as to your decision.
Staff response, was that State Clearinghouse notice was February 19, 2008,
therefore, deadline is 3- 20 -08. This has no bearing on city responsibility to adequately
notice the public. State Clearinghouse notification is required because project requires a
Coastal Permit, etc. Public notice was mailed Mar 7, 2008 and documents for MND were
not complete until Mar 17, 2008, 3 days before public hearing.
Staff responded that only planning commission can continue the hearing and not
until the actual hearing. I request lead agency (Newport Bch) grant extension of time
period for public comment, based on invalid noticing procedures. I further demand
confirmation that this hearing will be continued. This can be done through the staff
stating in the agenda that it is set for continuation to a future date and they would
additionally announce this at the planning commission meeting and inform that new
noticing is required.
CEQA re uires 30 -day review period. Notice was mailed Mar 7, 2008 and is
entitled as "Notice of Public Hearing"; it is not noticed as a "notice of intent" ( "NOI ") to
adopt a mitigated negative declaration. However, notice states: "It is the present intention
of the City to accept the Mitigated Negative Declaration and supporting documents. In
either classification, 30 days notice is required.
Notification does not provide for full 30 -day review and invalidates the Notice. A
request for an extension of review period is appropriate due to the volume of documents
to review. Further, documents weren't completed until 3- 17 -08, a clear violation.
Staff response to my document request addressed the "exhibits ", that became
available 3 -17 -08 and referenced above as not being completed prior to the public
comment hearing. The following additional documents I requested are not included in the
project file, they have been requested through the "Public Records Act Request ". I have
not received an adequate response, or the documents. They should be made available via
email and the city has a fiduciary responsibility to respond to this request.
Again, documents requested per the PRA are: The following are public records and
subject to review. 1 request the following documents that were submitted on project in
the following years:
• 2006; CR2006 -001, MD2006 -045, NT2006 -001, UP2006 -007, PA2006 -091
• 2_007; CR2007 -001, MD2007 -044, NT 2007 -001, UP2007 -011, PA2007 -100,
K200700508
I request the environmental information forms submitted on 5515 River, for both sets
of applications (2006 & 2007) to be emailed back to me prior to Wednesday, due to the
1�3
public hearing on March 20, 2008. I will be utilizing this information for my response to
the AND
There are numerous problems with "Notice of Public Hearing" that render it invalid:
• The starting and ending dates for the review period during which the lead
agency will receive comments on the proposed negative declaration or
mitigated negative declaration are not included in notice.
• Documents were not available for review until March 17, 2008. (Proof is
3/10/08). These were in the body of the document proving documents were not
available for review within time period. Further, I had written objecting to the
fact they were not available online. Staff stated they are not required to be
online, however, dates prove documents were incomplete and not available at the
city until 3/17/08.
I am still awaiting response as to which staff approved the report. The CEQA
requirements are provided below for clarification. Time is of the essence and I would
appreciate an immediate response to the aforementioned requests.
Thanks in advance for your time,
Lennie DeCaro

review period provided under Section 15105.
(b) The lead agency shall mail a notice of intent to adopt a negative declaration or mitigated negative decimation to the last known
name and address of all organizations and individuals who have previously requested such notice in writing and shall also give notice
of intent to adopt a negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration by at least one of the following procedures to allow the
public the review period provided under Section 15105:

(3) Direct mailing to the owners and occupants of contiguous property shown on the latest equalized assessment roll.
(c) The alternatives for providing notice specified in subdivision (b) shall not preclude a lead agency from providing, additional notice
by other means if the agency so desires, nor shall the requirements of this section preclude a lead agency from providing the public
notice at the same time and in the same manner as public notice required by any other laws for the project.
(d) The County clerk of each county within which the proposed project is located shall post such notices in the office ofthe county
clerk within 24 hours of receipt for a period of at least 20 days.
(e) For a project of statewide, regional, or area wide significance, the lead agency shall also provide notice to transportation planning

21092.6, and 21151.8, Public Resources Code.
Discussion: Section 15072 prescribes the notice requirements for a Negative Declaration. Although most of these requirements are
contained in Section 21092 of the statute, the Guidelines provide additional explanation and interpretation. In the interest of clarity,
the requirements are combined in one place. Subsection (a)(1) explains what is required by the cross - reference in Section 21092 to
Section 6061 of the Government Code. Section 6061 requires publication of a notice at least one time in a newspaper of general
circulation.
Public Resources Code section 21092 requires that the notice specify the period during which comments will be received, the date,
time, and place of any public meetings or hearings on the project, a brief description of the project and its location, and the address
where copies of the negative declaration and all documents referenced in the negative declaration are available for review.
Section 210923 of the Public Resources Code establishes additional requirements for the filing of notice with the County Clerk for
posting during the review period.

PLANNING DEVELOPMENT DEPT.
ATTN: Jaime Murillo, Associate Planner
REGARDING: Seashore Village Development (PA2007 -100)
Demolition of Las Brisas Apartments
This letter is one of challenge to the above- mentioned proposal.
I have many concerns regarding this project and ask the Commission
to take into account that there is a greater need for rentals in this area
than sing- le- family residential units. I ask the PC to please review the
past projects that I have noted below. I disagree with the Migiated
Negative Declaration and provide information from .past projects to
show this project will have a great effect on the community. I hope
you will review the past actions of the Planning Commission and
reconsider demolishing this much - needed structure.
NOTIFICATION OF PROJECT
I just wanted to state that for such a grand project, the postings are
not sufficient. I have spoken with neighbors of the LB apartment
complex, and most were unaware of the project. They had not
received mailed notices and didn't notice the postings which were
small and located in obscure areas.
Being this project would have a great impact on those residing in this
area, the Developer should have been more genuine in relaying that a
public hearing had been scheduled.
(1)
ELIMINATION OF VERY LOW AND LOW - AFFORDABLE HOUSING
UNITS, AND RENTAL UNITS IN WEST NEWPORT
I have reviewed reports, surveys, newspaper articles, etc., regarding
Newport Beach and the lack of affordable housing. I personally
experienced the lack rentals in Newport, especially studios and one -
bedroom units being I methodically searched for them. Nothing in this
area compares to Las Brisas Apartments. This building consists of
studio apartments,.one bedroom, and two bedroom apartments. It
would be a great loss of rental housing (including affordable housing)
in the Newport Coastal Zone if you were to approve this project.
I truly find it hard to believe the CNB Planning Commission Is actually
considering leveling this much needed 54 -unit apartment building in
favor of 12 single -unit residential units plus 6 duplex units!
I would like to note the many duplex . conversions to condominiums
over the past few years. Just months ago, another 10 -unit apartment
building @ 1703 Balboa Blvd., was approved for demolition. Note that
the 10 -unit building consisted of very low, low - income households.
Only to be replaced by 3 single- family units. I do not have an exact
count of duplexes that were converted, nor am I aware of the income
status of those units. I did notice there were more than 20 units.
Those "developments" displaced over 40 Newport Beach residents!
Now, this project wants to displace another 54 -plus Newport Beach
residents! The count is now above 100 displaced people! When is this
going to stop? I am asking ask the Newport Beach Planning
Commission to consider the impact these projects are having the
renters in this city. Almost seems as though renters, especially those
in the lower income range of Newport Beach are being run out of
town?
As per the Planning Commission Staff Report - January 170,
2008 Agenda Item No. 4:
To Summarize and quote a few items...
The 10 -unit apartment complex, also in th e
3 very low, 3 low, and 2 moderate - income
was not responsible for replacement of the
was he responsible for any in -lieu payments
housing obligation as per the Mello Act.
(2)
Coastal Zone, consisted of
households. The applicant
tow - affordable units, nor
to fulfill the replacement
tai
The reason for this... is that it was not profitable for the applicant/
developer? This is ludicrous, quite shocking, and seemingly in favor of
the one with the assets. Is this the way we want Newport Beach to be
portrayed? 'If you have the assets, NB will bend the laws, etc., so that
you will be profitable in whatever endeavor you choose in NB?
"General'Pian... Demolition of the building will result in a new
loss of 7 units and the loss of 8 affordable units; however, given the
small size of the existing 10 -unit project, the age and poor condition of
the existing building, and the fact that the building is non - conforming
to the underlying zoning and inconsistent with the General Plan, it is
staffs determination that demolition of the building represents a minor
impact to the City's overall and affordable housing stock. It should be
recognized, however, that future demolitions of apartment projects
could result in a negative cumulative impact on the City's overall
supply of market rate and affordable dwelling units"
* "...future demolitions of apartment projects could result in
a negative cumulative impact on the duty's overall supply
of martet rate and affordable dwelling units."
This was approved just months ago, January 17"'. How could CNB
override this just months later, what if any changes occurred that
would Ignore this report and future plans? Please, Please review the
above report statements before you decide the fate of Las Brisas
Apartments.
How could this be said and months later CNB Planning Commission
approve a project to demolish a 54 -unit apartment building?
* *Q.uote from Page 6 of the above - mentioned report:
"Summary... Based upon the KMA analysis, it is not feasible .
for the applicant to replace the affordable units lost through demolition
of the building, nor is it reasonable to assess an in -lieu fee to replace
the units. Staff concurs with the analysis and recommends that the
applicant be relieved of the replacement obligation under Exemption
No.1 discussed earlier in this report (less than 50 acres of vacant,
privately owner land available for residential development). Given this
conclusion, staff recommends the Planning Commission approve
Coastal Res. Dev. Permit No. 2006 -003 thereby pennitting the
demolition of the 8 existing affordable units."
(3)
** All I can comment on this is it appears that CNB is making new
codes and /or updating many past city requirements to appease
developers. I just cannot believe the discrepancies and conflicts of
information I noticed when reviewing the many documents, reports,
and studies regarding the Planning Department.

III MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS,
I have been a resident at Las 60sas for about 8 years. Up until a few
years ago we had more units that were considered low income, .
affordable housing. There are a few reasons as to why the occupancy
level has declined (I believe the number of affordable units is now
down to 6).
We were informed via meetings at our pool, both last year and this
year about the "inevitable" project/demolition of Las Brisas
Apartments. Some tenants moved and some were offered money
($10,000 - $18,000) by the Developers to vacate. The households
that were given the offers were low to moderate households. This
practice seems quite questionable if not fraudulent.
Another reason for the high vacancy level is due to the change in the
income qualification for prospective tenants. The amount is quite high
and was put into effect within the past 1 -1.5 years. This truly narrows
the number of tenants that would have normally been considered for
tenancy. If you look back prior to the property being in escrow, Las
Brisas was always full. This new policy seems to deliberately keep the
vacancy level high, thus given the illusion that the need for rental
units is low in this area which is definitely not the accurate!
One more thing I'd like to add, there have been many articles on how
Newport Beach has neglected affordable housing and is out of state
compliance laws. I attached one of the more recent news articles
indicating this.
(4)
FINAL STATEMENT
I have reviewed many of the correspondence between The CNB, The State of CA, The
Coastal Commission, as well as the studies that were.done by both CNB city employees
and outside corporations to analyze the City's Housing Codes, Policies, Updates, etc.
Frankly, I find it contradicting; CNB seems to be working with these Developers by
updating their policies to suit the needs of the Developers, the ones with the assets verses
the needs of the community.
I love this city and have lived here over 30 years; I grew up here. This is where I hoped
to raise my family, and ultimately retire. I was a renter, homeowner, and employee in
Newport Beach. I love the people and the many treasures the city has to offer.
Unfortunately, due to unplanned events, things have changed for me. I am totally
disabled, depend on Social Security Income. Now with the approval of new
developments, lack of Newport's compliance with State Housing Needs, etc., I may be
forced to leave my home.
At the beginning of my disability, I was having great difficulty doing things for myself as
I had always done. I was no longer able to drive, cook, or do the many things we all take
for granted. I called the City of Newport Beach to ask if there were any programs for
people such as myself. They were great and connected me with the organizations I
needed to continue to live on my own; which I am extremely and eternally grateful.
Because of my disability, I am having much difficulty trying to convey and right what I
believe is wrong with our beautiful City. Which, seems to be in "cahoots" with the
Developers?
Unfortunately, and I hope it won't come to this, I may have to resort to outside
assistance to aid in my struggle to live in the place I grew up. Note I am still quite young
for Social Security and have a genuine concern for others. I am aware of the many others
who have this concern, the seniors, disabled, and so many others live here and plan on
living out their lives in this beautiful city.
I ask you please review this proposal to demolish Las Brisas Apartments as well as the
prior approved projects and reconsider the removal of more rental and affordable units in
Newport Beach.
Sincerely,
Susan Carvalho

January 17, 2008 Meeting
Agenda Item No. 4
SUBJECT: Coastal Residential Development Permit No. 2006 -uus
(PA2006 -278)
1703 W. Balboa Boulevard
APPLICANT: C. FrankZavala
PLANNER: Brandon Nichols, Associate Planner
(949) 6443234, bn ictwlsOcitv.newoort- beach.ca.us
PROJECT'SUMNARY
The, applicant Is, requesting approval of a Coastal Residential Development Pemmt
(CRDP) to.ailow.:the demolition -of a 10-und apafinent building located at 1703 W.
Beb Boulevard, 6 the CKYs Coastal Zone. The apartment building is projposed m be
replaced by three detached single -unit residential strui�ures. The purpose of the CRDP is
to 'snsuht hxrr fiatx 'hNidi' Governriient,Coda 'Section '65590 (Mello Ad}, which
regulates the,dembtdion of low and moderate income (affordable) dwelling units in the
Coastal Zone. In. accordance t with the provisions of the Mello Ad, it has been
determined that 8 of the 10 existing units are considered affordable.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Coastal Residential
Development Pemmt No 2007-W3.
Proiect Sattkho
The project site is located on the Balboa Peninsula at the southwest comer of W.
Balboa Boulevard and 174' Street. The 10 -unit apartment building straddles three legal
lots, within the Two - Family Residential (R -2) zone diistrict. The 10 -unit apartment
building is therefore non- conforming to the underlying zoning designation and
inconsistent with the property's General Plan designation of Two -Unk Residential (RT).
Properties to the east west, and south of the site are also zoned R,2, and developed
with :single- and two -unit detached residential structures. The Marina Park Planned
Community (PC -51) is located to the north of the property across W. Balboa Boulevard.

cost to provide 8 replacement units in an ofi-elte location at $3.05 million ($382,000 per
unit).
To determine whether or not it would be reasonable for the appkM to pay the in -lieu
fee, KMA estimated the value of the existing 10 -nark apartment complex (by capitalmng
the projects net operating Income) and compared fhis figure to the value of the property
If developed with 3 single -unit detached residential structures (the applicant's proposed
project).
Basedon the WM anslysis;.the' -value of the property as a 10 -unit apartment building Is
$2.1 miglon. To calculate the value of the property if developed with three single -unit
detached residential structures, KMA calculated the foibwing:
1. -Estimated construction costs ($3.97 noon)
2. Projected sales. revenue ($821 miWon)
3. Thretlmld developer profit of to% of sales revenue ($821,000)
After subtracting construction costs and threshold WUM from saiss revenue, KMA
oonduded that the value of the property as 3 single -unit detached structures
($1.82rrllion)-is actually less them the value of the property as developed with a 10-unl
airarmteot complex. ($2-1 mlllon). Because the financial. analysis Indicates that the
WOPosed PrOIed W111:9enera%e.a lower realm than the eMsling apartment building, KMA
concludes-thik the A0"Want cannot feasibly make any kn -lieu payment to fu1811 the
re ;nlacemeritliousin9'obligation.
The foHOW rg General Plan Housing Element policies and programs were considered
relative to tleproposed development:
Demolition of the building will resin in a net loss of 7 units and the loss of 8 a8ordable
units; however, given the small size of the existing 10-unit projsd, the age and poor
condition of the existing buildiing, and the fad that the building is noncocdonnirg to the
underlying zonmg and Inconsistent wit the General Plan, it Is staffs determination that
demolition of the bulidIng represents a minor impact to the City's overag and affordable

housing.stocIL It should be recognized, however. that future demolitions of aparmend
projects could result In a negative cumulative impact on the City's overall supply of
market rata and affordable dwelft units.
Based upon the KMA analysis. it is not feasible for the applicant to reirlsoo the
affordable units lost through demolition of the building. nor Is It reasonable to assess an
iMlau fee to replace the units. Staff concurs with the analysis and recommends that the
applicant be refieved of the replacement obligation under Exemption No. 1 discussed
canter In fns report (less than 50 some of vacant privately owner faro available for
residential development). Given this conclusion, staff recommends the Planning
Corrunission approve Coastal .Residential Development Permit No. 2006-003 thereby
parmtling the demolition of the 8 e)"I ng affordable units.
Alternatives
The Planning Commission has the following alter aitNw:
1. Determine that replacement of all or a portion of the odsl'mg affordable units is
fswJbI% and require the applicant to provide for their replacement Based upon
the KMA analysis. this would result in a cost to the applicant of apprordmafey
$382.000 par unit This assumes the applicant would choose to acquire and
rehabilifata the unit(s).
2. Deny the Coastal Residential Developmem Permit. thereby Preventing demolition
of the aperMant building and the 8 axlsft affordable unrls.
ErrvironmentalrReNew
Staff has reviewed the proposed project, and has determined it to be exempt from the
requirements. of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 32 (In -Fill
DsveloPMant Projects). This exemption applies to environmentally benign in-101 projects
which are consistent with local :general plan and zoning requirements.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Notice Of this hearing was published in the Daly Plot mailed to property owners within
300 fast 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 webaite.

RE: 5515 River Ave. Mitigated Negative Declaration (Seashore Village, LLC)
Dear Mr. Nichols, planning department, & planning commissioners,
Lennie DeCaro, (DeCaro), in opposition to this project provides the following comments on the
mitigated negative declaration (MND) for the 5515 River project, (Seashore Village, LLC). The
opposition considers this project to have numerous significant adverse environmental impacts on the
applicant, surrounding area, and city of Newport Beach. The project will adversely impact residents
public access to the beach, negatively effecting environmental justice with displacement of low income
tenants, project will increase traffic on Neptune Ave. through the expansion and density of project, it
will negatively impact privacy, sunlight, increase noise, reduce on- street parking, and is contrary to the
goals of Newport Beach general plan. Project will heavily impact nearby residents during the
construction phase of the project in terms of air quality, noise, traffic, and negative fiscal impacts will
fall on the residents, as it will be nearly impossible to rent property to anyone that would have to put up
with at least two years of construction. There is no mention of any mitigation to property owners for
loss of rents, there is no mention as to a performance bond to the city to ensure that work would be
completed within their "goal" timeframe. Currently, "large" builders are facing having bonds called,
inability to pay subcontractors and are having projects stopped in midstream. This is a likely scenario
with this ill thought out project and the residents will ultimately pay the price.
This project would also lead to a diminution of property values, negatively impact homeowners
whose patios and frontage are on Neptune Avenue, as project seeks to turn this street into an alley. The
aesthetics of the area will be negatively affected, specifically injured are the immediate surrounding
neighbors. There is also an invalid assumption of "less traffic" based on formula using "housing type"
instead of "room count ". This incorrect assumption allowed exclusion of traffic study based on less than
300 trips per day. Project is inconsistent with stated goals of the cities, inconsistent with character of
neighborhood, study has not been presented to prove that added residents would not negatively impact
services including police, school, and library. There is an incomplete water plan that was submitted,
invalid income survey done by sellers own management company, (recently hired within the past year),
this study lacks impartiality and is doubtfully certified, but unable to review as it was not included in
eq5
this MND. There is further potential project bias from involvement with applicant architect on General
Plan/LCP implementation committee, which was intended to primarily include public input. This
committee, addressed some of the very issues challenged in this MND, and was to involve the public,
utilizing architects only as a subcommittee. Instead, this committee changed and became contrary to the
original stated intended purpose and city council resolution and included numerous architects (or related
fields); absent are detailed minutes and public input. Further, this project is contrary to Coastal
Commission goals of public access to the beach. There is inadequate study of the alternatives to this
project, which were suggested by DeCaro in the spirit of compromise. These suggestions by DeCaro
would solve the majority of the negative impacts.
Noticing was also inadequate as documents were not released online until February 28, 2008
and further, none of the 10 exhibits that are listed in the Planning Commission Agenda were attached or
available online as of 3- 16 -08. 30 Days from 2 -20 -08 would also have deadline incorrect for review
period, this would conclude on 3- 21 -08.
DeCaro asserts an environmental impact report (EIR) must be prepared, circulated and ultimately
certified, instead of the proposed MND, because there is substantial adequate evidence to support a fair
argument that the project may, and in fact will have significant adverse environmental impacts to traffic,
land use, noise, aesthetics, air quality, and safety amongst the other aforementioned issues. CEQA
requires only one issue to support a fair argument to demand an EIR; this project contains numerous
factual arguments that support a demand for an EIR.
Further, the failure of the applicant to indemnify the city for CEQA challenges to this project,
will leave the city in the position of having to absorb costs for legal challenges to the MND that may
result in substantial damages awarded to a successful challenge to the MND. The city should uphold it's
fiduciary responsibilities to the citizens and city and not grant the discretionary approvals for said
project to the applicant and demand an EIR for any subsequent project revisions. This would be the
most appropriate action that would responsibly act in a manner that is protective of the residents and city
from cost of potential litigation in a challenge to the MND.
DeCaro further asserts the MND does not adequately analyze the impacts and fails to clearly
describe the numerous impacts the project will create.
AN EIR IS REQUIRED
I request this project complete an Environmental Impact Report as the mitigated negative
declaration has not addressed the numerous issues that were raised to staff prior to release of the MND,
nor do they adequately address the issues that have been raised in the following objections to the MND.
There is no doubt that a fair argument can be made that numerous potential significant effects remain
that have not been addressed nor disclosed in the mitigated negative declaration.
The CEQA guidelines equate fair argument and substantial evidence as one in the same.
Substantial evidence consists of facts, reasonable assumptions predicated upon facts and expert
opinion supported by facts. The MND's analysis of impacts is legally inadequate, as it fails to
clearly describe the projects impacts, and offers no mitigation for the unstated impacts.
CEQA requires preparation of an EIR whenever a project may have a significant adverse
impact on the environment. (Pub. Resources Code 21151.) "If there is substantial evidence of a
significant environmental impact, evidence to the contrary does not dispense with the need for an
EIR when it can still be "fairly argued" that the project may have a significant impact." (Friends
of "B" Street v. City of Hayward (1980) 106Cal.App.3d988, 1001.) Therefore, the
appropriateness of an MND is only when, due to the nature of the project or the mitigation
measures that have been accepted by the project proponent before the CEOA review process
begins, there is not a fair argument that there may be adverse impacts.
"Mitigated negative declaration" means a negative declaration prepared for a project
when the initial study has identified potentially significant effects on the environment,
but (1) revisions in the project plans or proposals made by or agreed to by, the applicant
before the proposed negative declaration and initial study are released for public review
would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant
effect on the environment would occur, and (2) there is no substantial evidence in light
of the whole record before the public agency that the project, as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment." Per Public Resources Code section 21064.5
Additionally, "the significance of an activity may vary with the setting. "(CEQA
Guidelines Section 15064 (b).) As an example, the threshold for finding negative impacts to be
"cumulatively significant" can be found, because the nature of this area and the Neptune Avenue
cul -de -sac have been a consistently quiet area and street for decades. The intense amount of
traffic, noise, and air pollution generated on Neptune avenue as a result of this project attempting
to turn Neptune into an alley, and potentially forcing over one hundred cars, (just from the
development), coupled with additional beach traffic that would use this to loop through
neighborhood in search of parking, make this an extremely significant finding. (Kings County
Farm Bureau v. City of Hanford (1990) 221 Cal.App.3d 692, 718 -721.) Further the projects
impact on traffic analysis depends upon the existing setting. (City of Orange v. Valenti (1974) 37
Cal.App.3d 240, 249.)
The Projects significant impacts must be adequately addressed, as well as address the
identified mitigation measures that can reduce impacts and describes and compares the impacts
of the potentially feasible alternatives. If the only reason the alternative is not studied is due to a
prospective developer's profit potential, then clearly outside interests are being protected over
long.time residents quality of life.
(3.1) AESTHETIC IMPACTS WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT
"Any substantial, negative effect of a project on view and other features of beauty could
constitute a "significant" environmental impact under CEQA." (Quail Botanical Gardens
Foundation, Inc. v. City of Encinitas (1994) 29 Cal.App.4a' 1597,1604.) According to the
California Court of Appeal, lay opinions that articulate the basis of the opinion can constitute
substantial evidence of a negative aesthetic impact. (Ocean View Estates Homeowners Assoc.,
Inc. v. Montecito Water District (2004) 116 Cal.App.4a' 396, 402.) Expert testimony on the
matter is not required because the overall aesthetic impact of a project is a subjective matter for
loll
which personal observations are sufficient evidence of the impact. (Id.; Oro Fine Gold Mining
Corp. V. County of El Dorado (1990) 225 Cal.App3d872, 882.)
One of the effected properties, 5408 Neptune Avenue, has a direct view of the ocean
from the living room & balcony. This view has a straight line of sight directly to the public
access opening for the beach. View corridor map (exhibit 2 p. 75 from MND) illustrates the
view corridor to my property was substantiated; yet no mitigations or discussions addressed this
issue. The current apartment building legal height is of no consequence as the building is
setback from 5408 Neptune by at least 60'. This large unencumbered parking lot offers the
uninterrupted view and is evidenced in applicant picture 11 a, where the large setbacks are
obvious.
Our property was purchased nearly 30 years ago based in part on the understanding of
the benefits of living next to the building with the current zoning and setbacks and we paid a
premium for this additional space next to our home. I have objected to applicant(s) and city
regarding the numerous negative impacts, yet the MND doesn't address my ocean view, nor does
MND address any mitigation. Our view is a direct line of sight to the (prox 50') open space on
the sand. However, with rooftop decking, the view would be even greater. It is inarguable that
there is a significant value placed on ocean views, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars
in difference between view and non -view properties. If the discretionary approvals for
modifications are approved, I would lose the ocean view in its entirety, suffer an extreme loss in
marketability and enjoyment of property, lose the privacy from new unit proximity and incur
safety, traffic, runoff drainage, and noise issues through the prospect of turning our cul -de -sac
into an alley.
Plans for extension of "the sunset view park" will also have public views impacted that
were not addressed in the MND.
The modification permit (Chapter 20.93 establishes findings required for approval of a
modification permit. To approve the modification the following three findings must be made:
1. "The granting of the application is necessary due to practical difficulties associated
with the property and that strict application of the zoning code results in physical hardships that
are inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the zoning code."
Clearly this doesn't exist, there is no practical difficulty that revising plans couldn't
accommodate. The only physical hardship would be that the project would transfer hardships to
adjoining properties as the result of granting of this modification permit. The project has no
practical difficulty; modification need is created solely by applicant's choice of design, rather
than any innate characteristic of the lot. Adequate space exists for a scaled down version. This is
new construction and there are a number of design alternatives that could provide full utilization
of the lot while maintaining the required setbacks. The height modification can also be realized
by a:different design as well. Units are not marginal in size; in fact they are quite large, easy to
scale down.
2. "The requested modification will be compatible with existing development in the
neighborhood"
!qY
This finding cannot be made. Existing neighborhood consists of two story buildings with
majority 24' or less. Proposed project exceeds this considerably. Reducing side yard widths will
create the appearance of a huge mass project that will tower over the existing residences. The
"existing" neighborhood included the current apartment building for nearly forty years and was
to provide for a mix of uses that were planned to include an apartment building, duplexes and
single - family areas. This modification allows for buildings that are too tall, too close to existing
residences and too dense. NOT compatible.
3. "The granting ofsuch an application will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the property and will not be detrimental to
the general welfare or improvements in the neighborhood."
This finding cannot be made either. This development is directly adjacent to neighbors
and directly negatively will impact them. This development is in direct view of the public. This
development will obscure views to the beach and its massing will overwhelm the area and take
away the open area that is felt with the existing setbacks of 60' and more for the current
apartment.
Other properties will also be affected by the height of the proposed buildings and the
expansion of the building envelope. MND incorrectly states surrounding area residential units
are of similar height (three stories). This is incorrect. The surrounding properties are one and two
stories. 5408 Neptune, directly bordering proposed project is less than 20' ht and typical of
many homes. There are NO three -story units as the surrounding area is zoned for max.
24'.Current listings for this area, available online, all consist of one and two story units, and
aerial photos supporting that the current apartment building at prox 27'is the only building zoned
for 28'and erected in the vicinity and surrounding area units do not exceed 24', (except possibly
from a couple of homes where the architect was jailed for falsifying the heights and Newport
allowed building heights to remain). The aesthetics of this height differential will become
obvious and very negative if the height differential is accentuated due to the granting of the side
yard setback and height modifications.
This side yard modification puts project too close in proximity to the older units,
intensifying the differences in height and style. Planning commission should not allow the
discretionary approval for the setback modifications, most egregious would be to allow
encroachment into the minimum 25' setback. The building proximity from 25' to 3' will
accentuate this differential and will be obvious that it is not in keeping with the existing
neighborhood. We purchased the property in the 1970's due to the large setback from the
apartment building, the quiet, privacy, and view this entailed. The apartment building is
currently approximately 60' to 100' feet from our house and the modification is seeking to
reduce the minimum setback requirement of 25' by 88 %, (a change from required minimum of
25' to an inappropriate 3'). Properties are purchased knowing the existing zoning and setbacks,
so any modification that would be improved would be a significant impact to the rest of the
neighboring community that has abided by the restrictions.
The MND omitted mentioning this Modification permit (25' setback reduced to 3')
information altogether (p 39) under the environmental analysis and therefore, neither mitigation
nor their impacts were addressed. It should have read, "a modification permit is also requested
for a 3 -foot side yard setback where the MFR zone requires approximately 25 feet side yard
l(�q
setback based on lot width, (under discretionary approvals pg. 25). This is clearly a significant
impact and will negatively affect all surrounding properties, losing the feel and look of open
space that the reduced footprint the apartment had on the property. The omission of this
modification permit on page 39 is a significant impact that the lack of analysis of which, is
legally inadequate.
Applicant appears to want the best of both types of zoning. They would like to not only
have the building height currently 28' for MFR, but don't want the setback restrictions that
comes with this zoning. More troubling is that they appear to be trying to have it both ways.
They are looking to go even further on both height and setback through the modification
requests. These are discretionary approvals; the city should follow the vision that these
restrictions sought to protect and disallow the modification permits. If these height restriction
modifications are approved it will create a domino effect of other residences requesting the same.
The MND incorrectly asserts that the proposed project would allow for more public
visual open space. There is no question that the density of the project removes visual open
space. The existing apartment unit has a private pool area and an L- shaped building that is
deeply set back from River (north) as well as Neptune and Seashore (east). The setbacks are a
minimum of 60' (possibly 100'). Page 47 in the MND accurately depicts the enormous open
space between the buildings. This picture also illustrates that one can see the ocean between the
buildings. In the 1980's there was no fence blocking the view at all. In fact the street was open
from River direct through to Seashore. Again, this can be proven by the applicant's very own
documents. Please reference page 373 of Appendix D; this is an example of a historical map that
proves the area adjacent to 5408 Neptune was open as a road that was originally used to access
River Road to Seashore. It also proves that Neptune has always been a cul -de -sac.
Again, in the spirit of compromise, I have suggested a win -win for the community that
deserves serious consideration if this project wants to proceed. The opportunity for the city to
create a more pedestrian friendly development with sidewalks, on street parking, public access,
visually more open space, more aesthetically appealing than buildings sandwiched together, and
a better fit for the neighborhood is an opportunity for everyone to have their concerns addressed,
while removing many objections should be seriously considered.
The total square footage for the existing apartment building is only 48,744 square feet
(per title search, or 48, 753 p. 57 WD). This proposed project will actually increase to 57,906.
This equates to proposed project being roughly 19% larger than the existing apartment building
footprint. This does not take into consideration that current apartment is approximately 27' and
proposed units will be taller by an average of approx. 20 %. There is no way MND can claim
that this project is less dense, will generate less traffic or will be in any way beneficial to our
community if accepted as proposed.
MND states project as grossJloor area of 57,906 with a floor area ratio of .78. Again,
these calculations are incorrect. Entire lot area is approx 63,597 square feet (orig. bldg. Permit
p.408 appendix D in MND document), which equates to .91 FAR. Again, the MND is factually
incorrect in its assertion that it would give more open area, when the facts are contrary to this.
�,Jb
The MND combines both building and parking of existing apartment and is misleading.
The floor area is what should be referenced when discussing the visual open space. This project
will significantly reduce the visual open space area. The current open parking space areas, not
only allow a feeling of open space, they actually have ample parking for tenants and their guests
without the need for the tenants to use the street. This frees the street up to visitors wishing to
use the recreational amenities and park at the west side of this property that taxpayer dollars were
spent to maintain for the public enjoyment. If this development is allowed to go forth as
presented, it will be "giving" this developer the park and courts that belong to the city. The
massing will give the impression that this is a private facility and the lack of parking this
development will create will be the final straw.
3.3 AIR QUALITY IMPACTS WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT
The MND incorrectly asserts that implementation of the project would result in lower
density residential land uses than currently exist on site and emissions from construction and
operation of the project would not exceed the SCAQMD thresholds. MND states emissions
would be a net reduction due to a net reduction in residential units. The MND fails to analyze
the footprint is approximately 19% larger than existing unit and the square footage of building
goes from 48,744 sq ft to a development encompassing 57,906 square feet.
Nor has the MND factored in that the existing apartment building has had a vacancy
factor during this past year of at least 30 %, even if you were to base it on Newport Beach
average vacancy, one could safely assume that at any given time rental units are conservatively
at 10% vacancy rate. Compound this with the fact that the majority of units (40) only have one
tenant, and remaining 14 units are for two adults. Therefore, the number of people residing at
current apartment building (10% vacancy) would be approximately 49 as a maximum number.
24 residences with 12 four bedrooms and 12 three bedroom equates to 84 residents, or 71 % more
impact on the environment. I used bedroom numbers based on their presentation, as MND
drawings are illegible for detail. These additional residents from this project will not only be
using more resources, but will add to the traffic volume and this added volume would result in
an increase in air pollutants, which is not acknowledged in the MND.
Neptune Avenue is a cul -de -sac and is narrow (30 ") compared to River (60'); it is unable
to handle traffic turning around in this narrow road. This project is suggesting Neptune as the
alley to the new development; however, this street was not designed to accommodate this and
would result in backups of the additional traffic. Further, the original ingress /egress (on River)
for the existing site was removed in order to densify this project by putting in condos where cars
had previously accessed the site.
In 1981, the public accessed Seashore through this area adjacent to 5408 Neptune,
(Appendix D map.373) this route was blocked to through traffic with the addition of a fence,
likely to avoid a prescriptive action by the public, since public had used this access for years.
The MND has not studied the negative impact of trying to turn the established Neptune Avenue
into an alley, and how this would impact traffic. The MND should study the alternative I
�L0`
suggested which is to utilize the current parking lot/setback to accommodate the developments
ingress/egress by requiring it be a road. This would put the problem that applicants are creating,
back to a more equitable solution. The project as presented puts the entire negative impacts onto
the neighbors.
MND states 42% of project would be paved, but doesn't analyze type of pavement nor
mitigations. Will alley that accesses resident driveway be comprised of asphalt? These air quality
impacts are not adequately analyzed. Asphalt batch plants emit PM, carbon dioxide, nitrous
oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, methane and hazardous air
pollutants. These impacts must be properly studied in the MND and then adequate mitigation
must be included.
MND states there will be short- term generation of air pollutants during construction,
primarily including exhaust from construction, dust from demo, and motor vehicle trips. The
MND claims exemption because SCAQMD has yet to establish regional emissions.
Analysis is inadequate; modeling was for a site at 82 feet from construction. This site is
closer than 82 feet to a number of adjoining residents and these figures are not adequately
studied, nor mitigations offered. In using URBEMIS2007 modeling, inputted assumptions for
this modeling are not included. MND incorrectly asserts that the model run is included in
Appendix B. Appendix B is listed as "archaeological record search ".
Short -term impacts also negated to mention the release of asbestos and lead paint.
Property has confirmed asbestos and due to age of construction, lead is assumed as well. MND
states: CO2 emissions are likely not to be considered substantial enough to result in a significant
cumulative impact relative to GHG emissions and climate change impacts. This was not studied
adequately, and they are using assumptions instead of studies.
Long term impacts are based on faulty short term impacts and incorrect assumptions of
reduced vehicle trips as MND use ITE 2003, which has substantial variability. Further, because
MND is using the assumption there are no short -term impacts, therefore there are no long -term
impacts are incorrect. There are short -term impacts; therefore long -term impacts need analysis
as well. MND presumes operational emissions would be reduced because the number of units
are reduced. They fail to analyze based on the total square footage of buildings as compared to
the apartment, or room count. There is an obvious connection to an increase in residents and
traffic, based on size of home and rooms. This project would result in an increase not a decrease
in traffic.
Construction LSTs are not based on any grading plan, so the amount of disturbed soil is
an unknown. Further, and once again, MND inadequately studied construction LSTs and
provided the assumptions for the modeling in Appendix A. In reviewing the modeling, it
appears that in order to comply, construction was extended to 18 months and removed trenching
for utilities as well as mass grading. "Phasing" of the project was used as a tool to gain
compliance, however, cumulatively; surrounding residents are exposed to the same amount of
pollutants, only over a longer period of time. Modeling also assumed construction would take
place in the winter with 60- degree weather. Additionally, to lower emissions, model removed the
,6�-
trenching for utilities. This would be inaccurate, as each unit will need under- grounding of
utilities, trenching for foundations etc..
Additionally phasing is a poor idea, a likely scenario is that project ends up sitting for
much longer and the MND has no mitigations to guarantee this won't happen.
There are 2 areas where emissions would exceed the LSTs, PM 10 and PM2. Mitigation
measure state they will bring down pollutants to an acceptable level, however, Rule 403
measures need to be called out specifically in the mitigation, and the table is based on incorrect
assumptions.
Included below is excerpt from the Newport Beach draft EIR (5 -22 -2006) from the
Environmental Quality Affairs report, that addresses this URBEMIS modeling, (same model
used in this MND) and the associated problems.
" recommends that "projects generating or attracting vehicular trips, especially
heavy -duty diesel vehicles, perform a mobile source health risk assessment" in
accordance with California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA') Guidelines published
on the CEQA website. The final EIR should include a mobile source health risk
assessment and provide the results of the analysis.
Appendix B contains Air Quality Data based on computer analysis from a
modeling program titled "URBEMIS 2002 for Windows 8.7.0. " Although Pb and PM2.5
have been previously noted as potential health hazards, they are not included in the
modeling. The final EIR should identify how the proposed Project would deal with these
hazards, and identify other possible analysis tools that could be utilized.
In this same Appendix B, the URBEMIS modeling results are potentially
confusing and contradictory, Compare the results front Appendix B, sheet 41 (marked
page:], 31812006, 2:36 pm) and sheet #5 (also marked page: 1, 31212006, 2:37 pm). The
titles on these pages are identical regarding on -road motor vehicle emissions
summarized in pounds /day for summer. The final EIR should explain the difference, for
example, in ROG from 2937.541bs /day to 359.521bs 1day, and state how the City can
assure that the correct numbers are used in subsequent analyses. Also, ROG is not
defined. Is this related to the volatile organic compounds (VOC's) defined on page 4.2 -2
of the DEIR? If so, the final EIR should fully explain. If not, the analysis of VOC's
should be included in the final EIR? " underscoring added.
3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES - INADEQUATE STUDY ANALYSIS
MND relies on only a site survey, yet doesn't provide field data sheets, nor even a written
report, signed and certified by Senior Biologist, nor is Phil Brylski listed on pg. 101 as a preparer
with The Planning Center. Data regarding biological resources on the project site should have
been obtained through a literature review that would include data on biological resources in the
9 � a3
project vicinity, and applicable reference materials, with the objective of assessing and
documenting existing conditions of the onsite biological resources that may not be immediately
obvious with merely a site review. Sensitive biological resources present, or potentially present,
onsite should have first been identified and documented through a literature review using the
following resources: California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG2007), California Natural
Diversity Data Base (CNDDB 2007), and the California Native Plant Society (Tibor 2001 and
CNPSEI 2007).
A biological assessment survey to document existing conditions and to determine
potential impacts to sensitive biological resources based on current site plans should have
included notes of biological resources, such as plant and wildlife species, on field data sheets that
would also notate date, time and conditions notes were taken under. These data sheets are not
included.
The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) administers the state Endangered
Species Act. The State of California considers an "endangered" species one whose prospects of
survival and reproduction are in immediate jeopardy, a "threatened" species is one present in
such small numbers throughout its range that it is likely to become an endangered species in the
near future in the absence of special protection or management, and a "rare" species is one
present in such small numbers throughout its range that it may become endangered if its present
environment worsens. "Rare" species applies to California native plants. State threatened and
endangered species are fully protected against take, as defined above. Species of Special
Concern is an informal designation used by CDFG for some declining wildlife species that are
not state candidates. This designation does not provide legal protection, but signifies that these
species are recognized as sensitive by CDFG and no determination of impacts can adequately be
assessed by on hearsay. Because the community is near to wetlands and dunes, further
confirmation from the CDFG is required.
The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) has developed an inventory of California's
sensitive plant species (Tibor 2001). This inventory summarizes information on the distribution,
rarity, and endangerment of California's vascular plants. The inventory is divided into four lists
based on the rarity of the species. In addition, the CNPS provides an inventory of plant
communities that are considered sensitive by the state and federal resource agencies, academic
institutions, and various conservation groups. Determination of the level of sensitivity is based
on the number and size of remaining occurrences as well as recognized threats. Sensitive habitats
are natural communities that support concentrations of sensitive plant or wildlife species, are of
relatively limited distribution, or are of particular value to wildlife (CNDDB 2007).
Sources used for the classification of sensitive resources that should have been notated
and reviewed are as follows: Plants - California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG 2007),
California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB 2007), and California Native Plant Society
(Tibor 2001 and CNPSEI 2007);Habitats - CNDDB (2007), Holland (1986)
Wildlife - CDFG (2007), CNDDB (2007). Sensitive plant communities occur near the vicinity
of the project site. 4.0 of Newport Beach Coastal Resource Protection, 4. 1.1 There are
terrestrial, (non - marine) natural communities that are known to occur within the coastal zone in
the city of Newport Beach and its sphere of influence. MND offered inadequate analysis.
10 6A
There also appear to be large trees, species and potential nesting of birds not addressed.
MND states trees are classified as "small ", however photographs suggest otherwise. No photos
are included in the MND classifying landscaping. Historical research photos (2004) illustrate
three large palms. Page 41 of Appendix D you can also see the tops of the trees including one of
the palms. MND appears to have purposefully omitted pictures that show the apartment in a
positive light. This is quite contrary to pictures that I have. Further, page 46 shows different
trees behind the parking. This entire area behind the wall is landscaped.
The project may violate the city of Newport's tree ordinance as it fails to identify if the
existing trees are covered by this G -1 -G -3 policy. Newport Beach defines landmark trees based
on size, age, and type. Historical photos of subject site show three extremely large palm trees
that could qualify based on size, age or species. However, the MND has no documentation
presented, except to state two small ornamental pine trees exist on property. This is ambiguous
and clearly inaccurate based on photo from 2004, and there is no study to confirm if this would
be .a negative impact to the community to remove trees that have been in the community since
1972.
Mitigation for removal of the trees are uncertain. The MND does not provide any
mitigation for the loss of the mature palm trees. The MND must analyze how trees would be
replaced.
MITIGATIONS ARE IMPROPERLY DEFERRED. The courts have held it is a
violation of CEQA to approve a project based on a negative declaration without first resolving
how adverse impacts will be mitigated. (Sundstrom v. County of Mendocino (1988) 202
Cal.App.3d296.) The courts found that the development and implementation of mitigation
measures after project approval was a violation of CEQA. (Id. At 306 -308; see also Gentry v.
City of Murrieta (1995) 36 Cal.App.41h 1359, 1396.) Courts have prohibited the deferral of
mitigation because "There cannot be meaningful scrutiny of a mitigated negative declaration
when the mitigation measures are not set forth at the time of the project approval." (Oro Fino
Gold mining Corp. v. County of El Dorado (1990) 225 Cal.App.3d 872,884.)
There are a number of mitigation measures for potentially significant effects that are
mitigated only by statements that future plans would provide mitigation, without specifying the
mitigation measures or requiring that the plans be submitted prior to project approval. This issue
is throughout the MND. Plans need to be completed and submitted as part of the CEQA review
process, and prior to the approval of any environmental review document. (Pub. Resources Code
Section 21080(c)(2).)
MND states that it will provide more landscape than existing and this will make it more
pleasing than the existing building because landscaping is doubled, but without a detailed plan,
the mere coverage of area doesn't make it more attractive. The project could be removing many
large shrubs or tall trees only to be replacing them with small planters, but that use more area.
The impact would be substantial and negative to have the mature landscaping removed.
The numerous trees surrounding the property, (neighborhood trees) could be considered
"special trees" giving character to the community. Per city code, Special Trees shall be retained,
unless there are overriding problems. Prior to consideration for any removal of a Special Tree(s),
�6S
the General Services Director, or designee, shall prepare a report identifying and implementing
specific treatment to retain the tree(s). If specific treatment is unsuccessful or impractical in
retaining a tree(s) then a full staff report shall be made to the Commission before any further
action considering removal is taken. Prior to any removal of Special Tree(s), the City must
comply with the noticing provisions of the Removal of City Trees section set forth in this Policy,
unless a Special Tree is considered hazardous that necessitates an emergency removal. Any such
removal must be recommended by the General Services Director and the Risk Manager and
approved by the City Manager.
Special Trees may be considered for removal under the provisions of this Section
provided a special report by the General Services Director is provided to the Commission
detailing the necessity of removal and any specific previous treatment of the tree. After receipt of
the application, a Tree Inspection Report shall be prepared by the City's Urban Forester
(Attachment 2) to determine if the tree(s) meets the criteria outlined in the above All Other City
Trees section for consideration for removal. Simultaneously, -the Urban Forester shall provide a
notice of the proposed tree removal to the adjacent property owner (if not the applicant), the
private property owners immediately adjacent to the applicant's property, and the appropriate
community association if applicable, (not applicable to the emergency removal of hazardous
trees under Item C nor to trees that meet the criteria of Item E in the preceding All Other City
Trees section).
The Urban Forester shall determine whether in his/her judgment additional specific
treatment can be initiated to retain the tree provided the costs are reasonable. If a tree(s) is to be
removed, the tree(s) will be posted at least 30 days prior to the removal with a sign notifying the
public that they have the right of appeal. The sign shall also note a staff contact. Once a
recommendation is made by the Urban Forester and the Parks and Trees Maintenance
Superintendent to the General Services Director and the General Services Director or designee
concurs, then the applicant, the adjoining owners, private property owners on either side of the
street within 500' in each direction of the tree location and a legally established community
association, if applicable, shall be notified of the decision to remove or retain the tree within 30
days of the proposed removal. A legally established community association is responsible for
notification of all association members pursuant to their established procedure.
The General Services Director, or a designee, shall prepare a staff report for a regularly
scheduled PB &R Commission meeting of all trees recommended for removal, except for those
trees categorized in Paragraph C. (dead, diseased, or dying trees) or Paragraph E (claims and
safety issues) in the preceding section on All Other City Trees. Only an applicant, an
adjoining property owner, or a legally established community association, the City Manager, a
PB &R Commissioner, or a Councilmember may appeal the decision of the General Services
Director not to remove a tree to the Commission. The Commission, in considering any appeal,
shall determine whether the removal meets the criteria outlined in this Policy, as well as any
unique factors which maybe pertinent to the removal or retention of tree(s). The decision of the
Commission will be considered final unless called up by at least one Councilmember or the City
Manager.

3.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES - INSUFFICIENT STUDY OF POTENTIAL
IMPACTS AND MITIGATIONS
MND misrepresents the importance of findings from Archaeological data. MND states
records search was conducted and no archaeological evidence on or near the site was found. The
MND neglected to state that the prior studies that were done did not include this area; therefore
there were no sites that could be found if they were never studied. Of the areas studied, including
within one - quarter mile, records check found a minimum of I I archaeological sites within one
mile of project.
MND states sites are not "expected" to extend into project area. However, study further
states that area and surrounding properties were developed without the benefit of an
archaeological investigation and therefore, no data is available to ascertain the general level of
sensitivity for similar resources to be present. The McKenna study concludes, the Newport
Coastal area is generally considered sensitive for prehistoric archaeological resources, and
should be considered moderately sensitive for both historic and prehistoric archaeological
resources.
MND admits only a limited archaeological records search was conducted by McKenna et
al. However, the findings are significant. It continues to state area is moderately sensitive for
historic archaeological resources regarding the historic railroad alignment. MND has not been
surveyed for cultural resources and potential for subsurface evidence remains. Mitigations must
include defined archaeological monitoring program.
Archival research has indicated it is sensitive for the presence of prehistoric period
archaeological resources within the project area. Surface survey is an inadequate method for defining
and evaluating these resources, and even that wasn't performed. Mitigations for this potential impact
would be to implement a program of subsurface testing, utilizing traditional or remote sensing
methods, designed and implemented by a Registered Professional Archaeologist. Testing would
determine the nature and extent of archaeological deposits. If deposits were located, they would be
evaluated according to the eligibility criteria of the California Register of Historical Resources. If
eligible for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources, measures to mitigate the effects
of the project on archaeological resources would be designed and implemented. Avoidance is the
preferred method of mitigation. If, however, avoidance is not feasible, alternative methods may be
developed. If alternative mitigation includes data collection excavations, these must be conducted
according to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4.
Per notice from the Native American Heritage Commission dated March 5, 2008 and
received Mar 10, 2008 (available at city 3- 17 -08), they recommended that a records search of
recorded sites be done (CHRIS) and that the record search would determine: if a survey is required to
13
P,
determine whether previously unrecorded cultural resources are present. Study consultant performed
search but did not state whether a survey would be required.
The NAHC also recommends that project applicant contact the Native American Heritage
commission for a Sacred Lands file search of the project. MND study shows no evidence of
contact or results of this recommendation.
I contacted the Native American Heritage Commission and confirmed that the project site
is in close proximity to previously discovered prehistoric burial sites and is believed to hold
numerous Native American cultural resources. They suggest early consultation with Native
American tribes in the area as the best way to avoid unanticipated discoveries once a project is
underway. They also state that lack of surface evidence of archeological resources does not
preclude the existence of archeological resources. Lead agencies should consider avoidance, as
defined in Section 15370 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) when significant
cultural resources could be affected by a project. (3 -19 -08 Dave Singleton)
The existing paved area currently in the setback of 60', if used as the driveway, as it
presently is used, could help to mitigate the impacts by avoiding the excavation for foundation
footings that will be required in order to support the three story condos.
3.6 GEOLOGY AND SOILS - INSUFFICIENT STUDY OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND
MITIGATIONS
MND states EGA consultants prepared an investigation included in Appendix B. This
mislabeling of where to find the documents is confusing. Appendix B addresses archaeological
Records Search. Geotechnical Investigation is found in Appendix C. This document also has
been marked with purple highlighter. It is unclear if this is to emphasize or to delete.
As stated in McQueen v. Board of Directors of the Mid - Peninsula Regional Open Space
District (202 Cal.App.3d 1136, 1143; 249 Cal.Rptr. 439), "An accurate project description is
necessary for an intelligent evaluation of potential environmental effects of a proposed activity"
A vague or ambiguous project description will render all further analyses and determinations
ineffectual. It is critical that the project description be as clear and complete as possible so that
the issuing agency and other responsible agencies may make informed decisions regarding a
proposed project.
While an MND provides a general description of the project, key elements are either
missing or yet to be decided. For example, there is no indication as to how much grading will
occur. This is a key factor in addressing other impacts including, but not limited to, traffic on
haul routes, noise, vibration, and air pollutant emissions. Vibration will occur to the land
immediately adjacent to the property during construction. Mitigation measures that could be used
include: using augers and providing buffer zones between residences and the use of vibratory
equipment. Mitigation could also include alternative ways of compaction within these buffer
zones that does not create excessive vibration.
14
�b
EGA completed a preliminary investigation. They requested grading and foundation plan
be reviewed and approved prior to construction. There is no mention of the appendix C in their
contract or study and may not be site specific.
There is also an issue for inadequate drainage runoff could impact surrounding properties
as water table is found at 6' -8" below grade. There is no grading/specific drainage plan to
determine depth and disturbance of soil. Soil records also show water table at P below surface
on records check for area soils.
3.7 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Study found 17 of 44 samples testing positive for asbestos. No lead based paint was
tested for. 1972 was during time when lead was commonly found in paint. Study stated that
prior to demolition, it may require a lead based paint survey to be performed. Again, MND is
deferring possible mitigations, because they have not done a conclusive study.
New development could "uncover previously undiscovered soil contamination as well as
result in the release of potential contaminants that may be present in building materials (e.g.
mold, lead, etc.). This could result in a significant impact. Lead was not tested for, and the
mitigation is therefore deferred, mold and other toxics were not addressed.
Mitigations should include detailed means of enforcement and the agencies/departments
of enforcement of the City's proposed policies should define the timelines and response times for
enforcement of each regulation and policy. Most importantly, all impacts — whether potential or
definite — should be analyzed in light of the response, clean up, and remediation times attendant
to the regulations /policies and enforcement cited by the City as the factors that render all impacts
less than significant.
3.8 HYDROLOGY/ WATER QUALITY IMPACTS WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT
The plan as submitted appears as an incomplete boilerplate report. Plan describes that by
filtering directly into the ground, this avoids the need for regular maintenance, however
acknowledges that drains would require general property maintenance. The long -term operation
and maintenance requirements for the Treatment Control BMPs are not defined adequately as
they state that there will be no common maintenance control, that instead, individual investors
will be caring for their individual areas. It doesn't identify the entity that will be responsible for
long -term operation and maintenance of the Treatment Control BMPS, and does not describe the
mechanism for funding the long -term operation and maintenance of the Treatment Control
BMPs.
15
Section VI is entirely missing, as well as language either omitted or accentuated by use of
colored marker. Page 10 is blank, Page I I checks box for common area landscape management
as both "included" and "N /A ". States "N /A" regarding a spill contingency plan based on "Small
SFD development" (sic).
Plan is inadequate as it states common area litter control is N/A as "common areas
minimal and maintained by individual home owners ". There is guest parking, alley way and
paved walkways that are private and shared by the development. They identify no one being in
charge to clean or maintain these areas, nor do they state who will be responsible for street
sweeping of parking lots or maintenance of broken irrigation systems that would be used for the
trees they have depicted in artist rendering of proposed development. These trees will require
pesticides, fertilization and watering, far greater than zeroscape plantings. The application is
inadequate in that it does not state who will provide common area catch basin inspection. It has
marked both included and "N /A" under Uniform fire code implementation. Plan should also
consider sand filtration prior to release of treated water into storm drain if individual percolation
would be inadequate during heavy rains, considering the high water table in Newport Beach.
Plan does not address actions for the construction phase that should include how
demolition debris is disposed of or stored, covered, transported and does not include grading and
drainage plans to prevent flooding of other properties. Design objectives that need to be
addressed would include: All surface runoff and subsurface drainage being directed to the
nearest acceptable drainage facility, via sump pumps if necessary, as determined by the Building
Official. Drains cannot discharge onto neighboring properties, all roof drains shall be required to
connect into a tight -line drainage pipe or concrete swales that drain to the nearest acceptable
drainage facility. Water runoff needs to address landscape plans that would utilize only native,
drought- tolerant landscape materials.
Plans appear to show drain trench in front of 5408 Neptune Avenue, instead of on their
property, transferring maintenance responsibilities to the city.
Drainage appears to be designed to go directly into the ground but not called out in
sufficient detail as to location, size, etc. Pollutant concerns should be addressed due to the water
table at approx. 5' below surface, possibly at 1', and soil is class D, subject to saturation, poor
drainage, etc.
New project will exacerbate water use and runoff, thereby increasing pollution. Current
apartment parking doesn't have access to wash cars at the premises. Existing landscaping is
well established and appears to consist primarily of zero-scape plantings. Project would increase
water usage and subsequent pollution due to increased watering of planted areas and fertilizing,
numerous residents washing their cars in their driveways, and numerous residents hosing off
prior to entering the condos. Much of this water would be on impervious surfaces, increasing
pollution in the runoff
There is no plan for a common maintenance district to control landscape areas, so
possibilities of broken sprinkler heads are much more likely to go unattended to. It is also much
more likely that each individual unit will supply hoses to shower off prior to coming into their
new homes, causing a continual runoff of water. The MND claim that the new project will result
in less surface runoff are incorrect as there will be an increase in water usage. Increases will be
16
primarily in the impervious areas due to hosing off and washing of cars. There is also a real
potential of flooding neighbors if grading is toward surrounding residences. This is in an area
that has flooded significantly. If runoff is put back into the ground, relying on a filtering system,
this could over saturate the grounds and potentially impact surrounding properties as well.
There is also no discussion of the Clean Water Act that would limit the amount of runoff
or limit the percentage of increase a project generates on the amount of runoff.
3.9 LAND USE /PHYSICALLY DIVIDE AN ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY
The introduction of such a dense massing of homes may create a distinct community
whereby rehab facilities could proliferate. The potential is already rumored and there is nothing
that the city could do because as individually owned condos, each residential unit could house 6
people and be within the law. My research uncovered that one of the primary rehab house
owners is listed as a tenant in the existing building. The directories search in the MND would
have shown this but they only show directories up to 2002. It is a reasonable conclusion one
could draw, that someone who owns several rehab homes in Newport Beach, yet decides to
become a tenant, may possibly be part of this investor group. There is evidence to suggest that
this exact type of thing is happening in other cities at this moment. There are areas currently in
California that have been redeveloped and taken over by rehab facilities. This potential outcome
may be in the fixture for West Newport.
Densification of this site and the lack of parking spaces to accommodate the additional
owners will physically divide the community. Residents and visitors will no longer be able to
find parking on the street to use the park. Further, the dense development will give the
appearance that the park is part of "their own private community ". The MND fails to address that
the number of cars are directly related to the number of bedrooms. There is only one area in the
MND that describes the fact that the current site has only eight (8) studios, (32) thirty-two one-
bedrooms, and only fourteen (14) two bedroom units. Nowhere in the entire MND do they
address the amount of parking spaces that the apartment currently has. It appears this is not
addressed because it would accentuate the difference between the abundance of parking
currently, compared to what it will become if this area is allowed to become over developed.
The issue that needs to be addressed is that the current parking accommodates current
residents with parking to spare. Proposed parking with increased residents will not provide
adequate parking. It may be technically within guidelines, but this is a public resource and every
reasonable attempt to provide adequate parking must be demanded. I believe current site has
more parking spaces than proposed site and current site has fewer residents. MND doesn't state
apartment number of existing spaces and analysis doesn't cover this aspect. MND states project
will only have 63 total spaces. New development has minimum of 83 bedrooms compared to
existing total of 68 bedrooms.
17
�\1
MND incorrectly describes the floor area Ratio for said project as .78 FAR. It is
miscalculated, the proposed project is 57,906 square feet with the lot size 63,597, and the actual
FAR is .91. Lot size is also incorrectly stated in parts of the MND as 1.49 (prop. description
3.0), it is actually 1.46 and MND consultant/McKenna documents stated this correctly in their
study (Exhibit B). However, where the description should be absolutely correct, the MND is
inaccurate. MND also incorrectly stated on the same page, under the property description of
existing apartment building square footage, wherein it inflated the square footage to 64,885. The
actual square footage of existing building, confirmed by original building permit and county
recorder is 48,744 with a floor area ratio of.76.
MND also appears to be trying to have apartment building appear it the worst light
possible. MND, again under property description (3.2 of 466 page environmental assessment
report) states: estimated % of property covered by buildings and/or pavement at 97 %. There is no
reason to combine the two except to imply that the existing structure is massive and envelopes
nearly the entire property. At the beach parking equates to a better standard of Iivizsg. This was
one of the reasons that the,apartment building was such a good neighbor. MND appears to
continually ignore major negative impacts, or spins descriptions to imply something other than
the real facts suggest. The building mass of existing apartment is considerably less. (.76FAR to
proposed .91 FAR ).
Another interesting MND omission that was just revealed (available 3- 17 -08) is on page
75 of 128, entitled "Exhibit 2 _project plans ". Apparently someone did take notice of my
complaints for the past two years on this project and illustrated that 5408 Neptune does in fact
have an ocean view and they were aware of it. However, this map that shows the view corridor is
not addressed, no mitigation, no discussion, period. The PR team for the past two years has
ignored any attempt to compromise or address neighbors concerns. There was never any attempt
to mitigate the many issues when there has been two years during this process where applicant
could have changed the siting and reduced the density.
The MND should consider the option of purchasing the site for the city to extend the
existing park for the residents of West Newport. At least one council member has stated that
increasing park space was a goal, as well as sidewalks. Certainly, allowing anything close to the
densification this project is asking for is contrary to the city's best interests. Photos already show
how tall the apartment looks in contrast to the other homes, but because of the generous setbacks
of over 60', it is much less obvious and obtrusive. There isn't the stark contrast that the new
development will have. However, if one puts this massive grouping of condos together, the
height differential will be obvious.
5408 Neptune, which is on a double lot, is less than 20' in height and will be dwarfed by
a bldg nearly double its height. The Seashore building also appears to be approximately the
same height as 5408 and will also suffer the same disproportionate look. This project will result
in a complete lack of privacy, shadows will be cast over the patios and aesthetics will be
compromised in this neighborhood. Newport should not be supporting 3 story homes in West
Newport; these larger homes with more bedrooms will just create more of the traffic that makes
the quality of life at the beach decline.
18
Documents on the Agenda and part of the MND were not released until March 17, 2008
Documents /plans for project are illegible as far as detail determining dimensions on floor plans.
However it appears one model could easily convert to add an additional bedroom. There are no
conditions to limit the number of bedrooms. The number of rooms does in fact have a definite
impact on quality of life and densification of this area and needs analysis.
I have been told the apartment building was at one time 30 -40% vacant, even assuming a
10% vacancy rate; you have very few occupants that live there based on the preponderance of
one - bedroom units. Apartment area is extremely quiet and they have always had ample parking
to accommodate all the tenants and their guests within the confines of their site. This has
allowed the public and neighbors to enjoy the park and the public beach. The MND omits
references to the number of existing parking spaces, therefore inadequate analysis is derived.
MND is stating there will be less impacts based on a formula for daily trips, that (ITE)
admits is extremely variable_ A study should compare the likely number of residents driving,
based on number of bedrooms. The study also needs to address the demographics of this area of
Newport Beach. Primarily this area will draw more teenagers or adults, based on the popularity
of this area in that age group. A direct correlation exists between number of bedrooms, number
of tenants and number of cars.
It has also been rumored that there is already a rehab unit(s) in the apartment. If this
were true, it appears contrary to the recorded message that states in order to qualify for a one-
bedroom apt., you must make $66,200 per year and no co- signers are accepted. If it is not true,
then one must wonder why a rehab owner is listed as a tenant. It is also likely that in order for
investors to recoup their investment that this area will become primarily weekly summer rentals.
There are.potential severe impacts that will further divide this community if this area
becomes a primarily a rehab area. The MND offers no mitigations to protect the community.
The same potential exists for this proposed development. Further, there appears to be a
need for CC &R's and a homeowner association to manage and control this area; MND suggests
none. Further, MND basically states there will be no one in charge of maintaining common
areas, that the individual will be responsible for their own area. This will clearly create
significant impacts that have not been addressed adequately.

The following is an article that appeared in the Boston Banner on 12/13/2007.
http://www.b4ystatebanner.com/issues/2007/12/13/news/local 12130711.htm
`Sober houses' under legal review by city
By Kenneth I Cooper
The Roxbury development that has become Safe Haven Sober Houses started quietly
enough a decade ago when a one -man real estate company based in Hull bought an
undeveloped parcel on the eastern foot of Fort Hill.
That was about the last quiet moment. The ongoing saga has seen the project shift from
single-family townhouses for sale to multiple- occupancy bedrooms for weekly rent sober
houses.
Some neighbors and their elected representatives have criticized the development — in
both its forms — as too dense. The original plan was to erect 22 modular townhouses on
a little more than an acre and a half.
The courts have been kept busy with lawsuits, appeals and a criminal prosecution that
the city is now pursuing against Safe Haven's operators on charges of converting
garages and basements into bedrooms without building permits. The permits the
developers did have were issued in 2003 on a unanimous order from the State Building
Code Appeals Board after the Boston Redevelopment Authority sat on the application for
more than four years.
More than 100 tenants recoveringfrom substance abuse live in 11 or 12 townhouses on
Washington, Juniper and Guild streets, Safe Haven stales in a recent court filing.
"The development went up as a condo development, not a sober house, " said City
Councilor Chuck Turner when asked to distill his concerns about Safe Haven. "Another
concern is the quality of services."
Turner, state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson and state Rep. Gloria Fox, in separate interviews,
recited a litany of concerns: fatal overdoses on site, residents' purchases at a liquor store
a block away, serious sex offenders among the tenants and, as Wilkerson puts it, "such a
high concentration " of recovering substance abusers.
Unlike residential treatment programs, sober houses by definition provide only housing
— not services to help tenants move beyond their addiction. The staff is supposed to
collect rents, assure safety and enforce rules, but is not charged with monitoring
individual behavior. Support and peer pressure from other former addicts is supposed to
keep residents on track
Because they do not provide treatment, sober houses are not licensed or regulated by any
level ofgovernment. They enjoy the protection of state and federal anti - discrimination
laws, which define recovering substance abusers as disabled.
20 ,tt
��y
Some sober houses in other states, reacting to bad publicity or proposed regulation, have
banded together to impose quality standards on themselves. California has two such
groups: the Sober Livine Networlti based in Santa Monica, and the statewide California
Association of Addiction Recovery Resources (CAARR) in Sacramento.
The Banner asked the directors of both organizations, and Douglas Polcin, a national
expert on sober houses, about the concerns cited about Safe Haven. Though they
disagreed on some points, all three characterized most of those concerns as worrisome
and inconsistent with a well- managed sober house.
Overdoses
Sgt. Bruce Smith, a community services officer with the Boston Police Department's Area
B station, said at least three fatal overdoses have occurred at Safe Haven.
Told at least three fatal overdoses have occurred at Safe Haven, which opened last year,
Polcin groaned an4,muttered: "No, no."
Ken Schonlau, director of the Sober Living Network said, "it happens, " but could recall
only one fatal overdose on the premises of its 320 member houses. (Underscore added).
The same potential exists for this proposed development. Further, there appears to be a
need for CC &R's and a homeowner association to manage and control this area; MND suggests
none. Further, MND basically states there will be no one in charge of maintaining common
areas, that the individual will be responsible for their own area. This will clearly create
significant impacts that have not been addressed adequately.
1.2.1 EXISTING LAND USE /DESCRIPTION INADEQUATE.
Defines current access via two driveways on River, but states access to and from "Seashore Street and
Neptune Avenue is blocked by a wooden fence ", implying "access" to Neptune Avenue. Fact: There has
never been any access from subject site to or through Neptune Avenue
The significance is that this project proposal is attempting to turn Neptune Avenue from a cul -de -sac
into an alley, using Neptune as the primary access to all of its units. Meanwhile, applicant is requesting
to use one of the two existing driveways on River as their own private driveway for the sole benefit of
only one of their proposed condos.
This proposal to use one of the two existing River Avenue driveways for the benefit of just one of the
proposed single - family condo units is unfair to existing homeowners. Applicant is attempting to
effectively "take" from the cities existing residents that have purchased property on Neptune, requiring
us to give our street over to the developers to further accommodate their economic gains at our
economic loss. There is no valid reason they cannot use the existing driveway with current
ingress/egress. This is purely to maximize their profits at the existing taxpayers expense. There are no
physical constraints that would make this infeasible. It is not the role of the city to provide for the most
profitable investment opportunity for investors. The role of the city is to protect and enforce existing
code and to maintain the community vision and standards through fair application of code.

While the apartment building originally had open access to Seashore Drive from an opening to the street
from the apartment parking area, Neptune Avenue never was accessible. The apartment owner put up a
fence years ago to discourage the public from walking through the complex to access the beach and to
stop public from using this access road and parking in their guest parking spots.
Neptune however, has never been open for through- traffic or pedestrian access to the apartment bldg..
Neptune has always had a permanent blockade erected by the city, as well as postings of "no parking"
signs. Neptune has always had terminus at 5406 Neptune Ave. Seashore on the other hand was used at
one time to access the beach and verified through maps found in the MND, mentioned previously.
Mitigations that should have been studied and presented are absent. An obvious mitigation would be to
reduce the project density, while maintaining a portion of the open space of the current footprint.
Utilizing the current driveway on River Avenue and continuing this directly through to Seashore Avenue
effectively eliminates the majority of objections that residents have and the city should have.
The city encourages use of sidewalks and public parking. Coastal commission encourages public
access. Neptune residents do not want their cul -de -sac turned into an alley. I have numerous issues with
loss of ocean view, privacy, safety, traffic, noise, etc. If this area adjacent to my home had a standard
30'road put in, this would solve nearly all of the issues. I offered this as a compromise, as I would still
be giving up privacy and safety with the added adjacent traffic, but discussed this with the applicant and
was told they can't afford financially to give up any properties.
Absent a compromise, I informed them this would likely result in litigation, and this didn't concern the
applicant. Based on this, I would request information as to if the applicant has or will sign a letter that
would indemnify the city from potential CEQA lawsuit.
This mitigation I have suggested is a compromise that would not only solve many issues, it would
actually benefit the look of the development as a defined community. Placing this huge block of taller
condos crammed next to older duplexes does not fit in with the character of the community. However,
an appropriate approach is found in the adjacent Lido Sands community. This community serves as an
excellent example of a well -done community of single - family homes, that are decidedly different and
defined it its own small grouping, but in keeping with the community aesthetics.
Setting apart of the new development would be in keeping with the transitional changes one expects
when transitioning to different types or styles of housing. An inclusion of a new street would appeal
aesthetically as it would give the distance needed to accommodate the break in design styles. Our
community and the development would be better served with this approach.
The proposed project could have the opportunity to benefit the surrounding neighborhood and the
developer at the same time, if applicant would agree to compromise. The project needs to be scaled
down and to include the suggested road improvement. This road requirement would utilize the area that
is currently within the required minimum setback. The apartment is currently set back at least 60'. The
required setback to accommodate 30' road with sidewalks could be provided, with the majority of the
road being within the required 25'setback. However, applicants are asking for a modification to this
setback from the current minimum of 25' to reduce it to 3', (min. 88% reduction of setback).
22
SAFETY: Public dedication of right of way should be required due to the impact on the area. River
Avenue is 60' geometric and clearly able to handle larger volume of traffic as it is wider and does not
intersect with pass through traffic. Neptune is a 30' geometric that has always had terminus at 5408
Neptune. It is reasonable to assume a serious negative impact would result during any emergency
requiring immediate evacuation, as there is the potential of 100 or more cars from this new development
that would be attempting to access out from the narrower Neptune Avenue.
Neptune Ave. currently has sidewalk and on street parking, further narrowing this road.
Inability to adequately turn vehicles around will prove to be a safety trap during an emergency. Current
driveway access on River Avenue that would extend access as a new street to Seashore is the
appropriate, safe alternative that should have been studied. Homes effected on Neptune currently face
toward the ocean, trash pickup is on River Avenue. Project proposal would have trash trucks traversing
through Neptune Avenue, as it would become the alley for both sides of their development. There
appears to be no area in the MND that shows where units would store all of the trashcans. So many
trash receptacles to accommodate so many large condos could create a health and safety issue with
harboring of rodents and insects. There are no mitigations for assuring property owners will clean this
section of the road.
Neptune is a city street. The city is responsible for street sweeping. The city cannot legally sweep
the private driveways within this development and therefore, the cleanliness of their "alley portion" is
contingent upon them cleaning this themselves. They present the city with allowing trash trucks to enter
upon a private driveway to pick up trash.
There are challenges to the turning an established street effectively into an alley, with
inconsistent geometries. It appears that by calling it a "driveway" is simply a way to avoid the
requirements of a street. However, the intent for a driveway is to serve one home, not the manner that
they are intending to use this definition. Fairness dictates that this "driveway (x 24) not be allowed. If
the suggested road from River straight to Seashore is put back in, they can call the area behind the units
the alley that it is and grant an easement for trash pick up only.
It is neither the city nor the resident's responsibility to ensure profitability for developers, nor
would it even be logical for this developer to claim that it would not be profitable if he were required to
remove the units to make way for the road improvements. Since the property hasn't even been sold, and
this is for discretionary approval, they have nothing at stake. This is contrary however to the existing
Newport residents that this project will negatively impact. As a property owner for 30 years, I hope the
planning commission takes the concerns of the resident impacts into consideration over the potential
developer concerns for investor profitability.
Positive impacts from inclusion of new road, would be enhanced safety utilizing access for
emergency vehicles using road instead of alley, fire hydrant accessibility, pedestrian safety with
sidewalks allowing for appropriate drainage, defined public walkway and roadway, direct public access
to beach that occurs at 55 Street at Seashore, aesthetically more suitable to neighborhood
Issues regarding applicant attempt to turn Neptune Avenue into an alley include: diminution of
property value, traffic, noise, safety, air quality, inconsistent with vision for the city, and modification
permit, etc. It is an inappropriate demand on existing homeowners to benefit a developer that hasn't
23
��1
even purchased the property to date. Orange County fire authority has not addressed the adequacy of
ingress/egress into a.private driveway that has overhanging structure, etc. If they intend to use the
existing fire hydrant, this too would be inadequate based on location.
1.2.2 SURROUNDING LAND USE: DESCRIPTION INADEQUATE
Applicant states: "site is surrounded by residential uses, such as "vacation rental units" to the
north, south, and east and a city park to the west". This would give one the impression this area is
primarily a "weekly rental area ". Instead, this is primarily owner occupied or yearly rental units in the
area. Current apartment bldg is the major source of rentals for this area, allowing for affordable housing
to the residents of Newport Beach.
The "city park to the west" is directly adjacent to the existing site. If this overly dense project
proceeds as presented, it will effectively be a taking of city park space, as the appearance and marketing
of property will be to the sole benefit of these new condos. Currently, mazy residents and visitors have
access to the park because of the apartment building's adequate parking for its own residents, which
allows for plenty of off street parking on River Avenue. Because the apartment building primarily
serves just one tenant per unit, they have always had adequate "on site" parking. The parking lot is
never full and adds to the city's open space through its current footprint.
If applicant is allowed to have this overly -dense project with inconvenient tandem parking to
accommodate numerous additional bedrooms, (which correlates to additional residents), then it is
reasonable that these additional residents will be using River Avenue to park in front of their units. This
will effectively discourage visitor use of the city park because this will create inadequate parking to
service this need.
Further, the public parking lot on Seashore, which is intended for public parking to access the
park and beach will be further burdened by the additional need for parking that the additional residents
would require. Again, with each additional bedroom that increases the number of residences, it also
increases the likelihood of numerous, guests as well.
Applicant has presented that they intend to market units for 3.3 million. With this price tag,
(completely unrealistic), the likelihood that investors will need to turn to weekly rentals or sober living
homes is a much more likely scenario. This will further burden the city of Newport Beach with the
demand it will place on parking, as well as the other police and enforcement needs that will be required.
After a marketing/lobbying group canvassed residents concerns, it appeared the presentations of
this plan had been specifically tailored to give "opinion" that the PR team felt would favor existing
residents concerns. I was told this will increase property values and will get rid of "those tenants" in
favor of homeowners. This is not based on fact. I had also been told it would be used primarily for
wealthy seniors using these homes as second homes, when in fact; marketing statistics do not bear this
out, as seniors are not looking for three story buildings with narrow hallways. I won't comment further
on the numerous falsehoods I was told, because they are not in writing. But I will state that any
presentation based on what it can do for the community, needs to be critically evaluated.
24
CEQA demands public involvement, yet this "public outreach" by PR lobbying firms, serves to
discourage the intent of CEQA, through attempts to "inform" residents that most likely won't feel it
necessary to read the full documentation presented to the city on the project. If I felt this was a positive
for our community and for the nearby residents, I would be in favor, but as presented, I am adamantly
opposed. I believe this is a potential nightmare in the making. This project is too dense and comes at
the expense of nearby homeowners and tenants, who the city should be looking to protect.
3.11 NOISE IMPACTS WILL HAVE SUBSTANTIAL IMPACTS
MND claim impact would be less than significant because the project - generated noise
during the operations phase of the project would be from project generated traffic (mobile- source
noise) and on -site operations. They state that project would result in net reduction of trips;
therefore, level is reduced to insignificance because it would result in a decrease in traffic noise.
This is incorrect. First, the daily trips are based on highly variable study, secondly, these are not
cars, and these are eigb ± ren- wheelers, trucks, large equipment and power tools. One eighteen
wheeler, (per FHWA) is the equivalent to the noise generated from 19 cars.
Noise impacts will be increased due to homeowners use of gardening equipment, such as
lawn mowers, leaf blowers, additional cars directly adjacent to the front of our building from the
access using Neptune as the projects alley. 5408 Neptune will not only be affected by one side
of street with access to their garages, but both sides of the street will access garages through
Neptune "Alley ". Trash trucks will spill their exhaust and the additional noise from 24
additional stops. Currently trash is picked up on only the west side of property.
Current apartment bldg uses no regular gardener, no lawnmowers or leaf blowers. MND
doesn't address restrictions or mitigations for project's resulting increase of additional noise felt
by residents due to project proximity to existing buildings and increase of additional noise
sources, including additional cars, people, television, radios, etc. Project wishes to have a permit
to have 3 feet side yard setbacks. Currently, the existing building primarily has the apartment
over garage space and so there is typically no living area on ground floor. This adds to the
peacefulness of the neighborhood.
Current site has small balconies. Typically very small, and they aren't large enough for
entertaining. Project will have ground floor patios that will encourage much larger gatherings
and more noise. The quality of life for the surrounding neighbors will be impacted. To visualize
the impact, stretch out your arms from side to side; this will be the difference between buildings.
The MND doesn't address that this is not the vision for Newport Beach when given an
opportunity to have a more aesthetic development put in instead.
Construction noise would exceed db levels, vibration etc. The excessive noise and
vibration will exceed standards, but an exemption is claimed based on city standards. However,
nearby homeowners will be unable to rent their units for a minimum of two years due to the
construction noise, dirt, vibration, etc. and the MND has not address the financial mitigations to
accommodate existing residents.
25 �,1A
Analysis and mitigations are inadequate. Noise levels are measured at 50 feet; vibrations
have not addressed ways to mitigate the vibrations through different methods of construction,
etc. Note that the range of 70db to 90 db at distances of 50 feet are for one piece of construction
equipment. This area is directly adjacent to residential properties within 50 feet and the receivers
would be at least 70 to 90 DBA, which is in violation of the exterior NAC criteria for residential
properties. MND lists sound levels on PCH from 1971,Society of Automotive Engineers for use
in studies of aircraft flyover noise, uses PCH hwy pavement, traffic levels, roads, and receivers
all pertaining to PCH. It appears this was from another study or the information is unclear as to
its relevance. It appears study was done for the noise for the new units, such as planning for
noise attenuation for new construction, not analysis based on harm to existing residents. CEQA
demands that the documentation be put forth in a language and manner that is understood. What
is apparent is that this noise study offers no mitigations, nor is it adequately studied.
3.12 POPULATION AND HOUSING WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS
One of the most troubling aspects is that the MND claims to not displace substantial
numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere.
This MND states it will need to replace housing for 6 units based on a survey, yet it states this as
a less than significant impact. The MND had a pro -forma to include what the developer could
afford for "in- lieu" fees. This is inappropriate. The in lieu fees are not enough to replace the
units and are based on limited data that study admits could not verify all information. Further,
the pro -forma is not included, nor were the rent surveys. A firm was hired to study the adequacy
of the pro -forma with out being able to verify the information. The escrow papers would have
been the first most obvious set of documents. This should be required to understand exactly how
much "profit' and who is claiming this now.
The MND looks at this project in terms of profit potential, instead of what is fair and
equitable to the community. It is obvious to the neighborhood that the majority of the tenants
would have been considered lower to moderate income. Yet, since the project was attempted in
2006, it was removed. Laws prohibit evicting tenants within 24 months of application, and it
gives the appearance and it is my opinion that there was an intentional removal of low- income
tenants in an effort to avoid the costs associated with low- income housing compliance laws.
Since this application resurfaced a year after the identical project was withdrawn, the
property owner hired a new property management company, (who did the rent survey that the
low income housing replacement is predicated upon). The apartment owner is also now
requiring property management to enforce a "specific" income requirement of $66,200 and not
allow a co- signer. It is my:belief that there were some "tenants" that were making in the six
figures while the survey was being done. One listed tenant owns several rehab homes in Newport
Beach.
26 pp
Newport is a special town that deserves protection. The coast and its resources are too
important to squander, just to benefit the financial gain of a group of investors. I believe that
some of this original team are still involved in this limited partnership. This original team made
no effort to mitigate or compromise. The team solution was that they could get it through. Had I
not had my background and not understood the process, I too would have resigned myself to the
inevitable.
As a property owner that has handled rentals for years, it would be extremely difficult to
find tenants that could qualify without a co- signer but had to additionally verify income
requirement of $66,200, yet this is what the apartment building has enacted within the past year.
I have complained to the city to verify this, stating I felt this was an obvious attempt to
circumvent the law to get rid of the lower income tenants. Inclusionary housing is expensive for
developers and it would benefit them if this weren't an issue. I believe prior to the developer
application, majority of low- income tenants have "moved out ".
There has appeared to be a purposeful eviction of low income housing tenants, but
without the original rent studies, this is speculation. I do not accept however, any study wherein
it is conducted by the property manager who works for the owner who is purportedly in escrow
trying to close the deal. Keyser Marston study requested in PRA was never made available to
me.
The project is presented in a light that gives it a misleading depiction through use of
"artist renderings" that are not to scale. MND (p15) architectural renderings won't be able to
look like the pictures. Most buildings benefit substantially from landscaping, and these
renderings look nice because of the 45- degree angle, mature abundance of landscaping, wide
planted walkways, beautiful towering trees with canopies the width and height of the condos.
Then there is the reality. The MND shows the front and rear of the actual individual view (p27);
this is in stark contrast, and more in line with what this dense development would actually look
like.
There appears to be little difference between the two styles, but couple that with exact
same style home side by side with such density and this doesn't appear to be the type of vision
Newport had in mind. Is Newport's vision to put as many homes jammed next to each other and
towering over the existing residences on a lot that should have been maintained as an apartment
building as one of the few areas in Newport to actually accommodate tenants? This development
will not have the large canopied trees as depicted in the "renderings ", because there is no room to
accommodate them. The reality will be 6 feet shared walkway between homes with no apparent
walls between them for privacy. The design and density doesn't make sense.
Newport wanted to have articulated interesting sides to the buildings, but these units are
primarily flat on the entire length of buildings because they are put too closely together, with too
many units for the lot. They don't fit in with the city vision for new development; they don't fit
in with the neighborhood. This area has been undergoing some nice changes with well -done
remodels, but this opportunity to let this development go in will do a disservice to the entire area
and the people that have invested in rebuilding new homes.
27 ��l
The proposed development is too dense for the property. Feasible alternatives exist
which include siting the homes using setbacks that were originally intended in this zone, and
reducing the size of the development. These are viable alternatives that haven't been studied
because the investors want to make more money. If it isn't feasible, then the investor should use
their contingency as an escape clause. These applicant/investors don't yet own the property; they
don't have the vested interests in protecting the neighborhood that the residences do. The
investors won't be living in these units.
Applicant has already submitted a pro -forma to determine how many millions he would
be satisfied with making. The applicant only has the advantage if the residents don't feel they
have a voice. Having a planning commissioner attend a private hearing and speaking in a manner
that appeared positive was probably not encouraging to some that showed up. The priority for
the planning commission who must review these objections is to protect our coastal resources
over the construction of residential development.
3.13 PUBLIC SERVICES & 3.14 RECREATION
There exists a moderate impact to libraries and schools and a potential major impact on
police services. Without knowing how property will be used, absent CC &R's restricting their
use, and lack of a homeowner association it is deferring any potential mitigation as it isn't
considering the consequences that land use changes may encompass. MND failed to study new
ways development might be used and provided for no mitigations.
West Newport Park effectively would be taken over by this development, most
will assume it is private, city should have entertained idea of purchasing this as city has stated
West Newport is in need of park expansion. There is metered parking directly in front of the
single - family units. It appears there is no block wall. Absent a continuous block wall, it will be
too convenient for residents to park directly on the street in front of their house, when this
property is intended for visitors to the beach/park.
3.15 TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC IMPACTS WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT
Incorrectly states project qualifies for an exemption under the City Traffic Phasing
Ordinance. However the definition under exemption (C.) states: "The following projects are
exempt from the provisions of this chapter:
1. Any project that generates no more than three hundred (300) average daily trips. This
exception shall not apply to individual projects on the same parcel or parcels of Property, such
as chanties in land use or increases in floor area that in any twenty four (24) month period
cumulatively generate more than three hundred (300) average daily trips "15.40.030 Standards
for Approval -- Findings — Exemptions)
Further, Trip generation was calculated using the Institute of Traffic Engineers
(ITE) Trip Generation Manual (7 'h edition 2003). An article by traffic consultants
Nelson/Nygaard opined on the variability of ITE and stated: "Even where there is a strong
correlation between the amount of development and trip generation rates, there is still
considerable variation in the rates observed in different surveys. For the land use type "Single
28
a3,
Family Detached Housing", for example, ITE reported rates ranged from a low of 4.31 daily
trips per dwelling unit, to a high of 21.85 daily trips. The Trip Generation manual reports that,
"This land use included data from a wide variety of units with different sizes, price ranges,
locations and ages. Consequently, there was a wide variation in trips generated within this
category."
APPENDIX / ISSUES FOR CLARIFICATION OR CORRECTION (466 P doc)
I previously described errors regarding (p8 & 13) property description. Existing bldg,
acreage etc.
Hydrogeology states soil is Class D, states (p 125) depth to water table is less than one
foot. This differs with other areas in the MND, (p 15) states that geotech investigation
found ground water at depth of six to eight feet below.
Soil listed as hydric (pl5) with slow infiltration rates. This is a concern for the proposal
to have water return to the ground instead of filtered and sent into storm drain. Additional
environmentally appropriate mitigations need to be studied further.
(p341) City directories don't include residents from the past six years.
(page 373, (128 1) page372 (1972 revised from 1965) These historical topographic maps
show that the existing site had the road connect from River to Seashore. This is the same
road that should be put back. The public had used this paved access for years before
property owner fenced it off.
PUBLIC ACCESS
MND is not consistent with the Coastal act. The following are pertinent as to the
negative impacts this project will have as it relates to public access. As stated earlier,
public had at one time directly access the beach from River to 55a' Street opening. This
is the same opening that 5408 enjoys its view corridor from. The public has been
deprived of access based on property owner fencing in entire property. However, the
pedestrian public would still access occasionally. One could still see a small area of
ocean between the houses on the sand as evidenced in MND picture showing how wide
the parking area is. It encompasses the views of three buildings as seen on page 43
(figure I I site photographs) in the MND.
The opened area between the houses on Seashore beachfront & 55th is intended
for public access. The proposed project has not provided for any permanent access to the
public. Project also effectively removes the access to the public to utilize the park. The
park will appear to belong to the new development and the more convenient access to the
beach will be cut off and force people to all go to the 54th street opening. Again, this
appears to be an attempt to have this area be private. This area already is afforded
privacy by the lack of the pedestrian sidewalks. People will not walk through an area
that clearly are private home side yards that are only 3' wide.
The city has one opportunity to afford the public access to the beach that was
intended from the 50's. The city should not miss this opportunity to ensure that our beach
access serves all, not only the rich. The following coastal act sections are particularly
29
�a3
relevant to this property and public access. This road should be dedicated, returned as a
roadway, include sidewalks for access to the public, fire hydrant and large enough area to
turn large vehicles around in the event of a fire or emergency. Mitigation should have
studied this possibility.
The city of Newport Beach has determined that Coastal Act policies are relevant to
Newport Beach.
Section 30210 of the Coastal Act states:
In carrying out the requirement of Section 4 ofArticle X of the California Constitution,
maximum access, which shall be conspicuously posted, and recreational opportunities
shall be provided for all the people consistent with public safety needs and the need to
protect public rights, rights of private property owners, and natural resource areas from
overuse.
This project does not provide maximum access.
Section 30212 ofthe Coastal Act states, in relevant part:
(a) Public access from the nearest public roadway to the shoreline and along the
coast shall be provided in new development projects except where:
(2) adequate access exists nearby...
This project would remove existing access and provide for access only to the condo
owner, not the public. The opening to the beach for this area is 55h st., providing a near
direct access (line of sight) to the beach.
Section 30213 of the Coastal Act states:
Lower cost visitor and recreational facilities shall be protected, encouraged and, where
feasible, provided. Developments providing public recreational opportunities are
preferred.
This project actually removes recreational facilities effectively because the existing park
and tennis courts will appear as private and parking will be severely impacted with this
development.
Section 30240 (b) of the Coastal Act states:
Development in areas adjacent to environmentally sensitive habitat areas and parks and
recreation areas shall be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly
degrade those areas, and shall be compatible with the continuance of those habitat and
recreation areas.
This project severely effects this provision in the overly dense design that will make it
appear that park is part of the open space for this development.
The City's recently updated certified Land Use Plan (LUP) also contains the following
policies that would apply to the proposed development:
Public Access and Recreation/Shoreline and Bluff Top Access, Policy 3.1.1 -1 states,
Protect, and where feasible, expand and enhance public access to and along the
shoreline and to beaches, coastal waters, tidelands, coastal parks, and trails.
Access road next to property would accomplish this stated policy.
30
�a�
Policy further states under "shoreline access ", that the city will require all new
development causing or contributing to adverse public access impacts, to provide easements or
dedications in areas where public access is inadequate. All beach access openings serve specific
homes. 55 street created the vertical access that was created specifically to serve this area. The
public should not be deprived of access to 556' Street opening. One of the main tenets of the
Coastal Act is preservation of coastal access.
City of Newport Beach stated goals include under the Local Coastal Program and Coastal
Land Use Plan: (I objected to staff that the applicant is on this committee, during processing of
his application and should have been removed due to conflict of interest.)
3.1.1 -2 Protect public street ends providing access to the beach
Project removes protection
3.1.L -7- protect public right of access. Where substantial evidence ofprescriptive rights
exists, actively pursue public acquisition or require access easements as a condition of
development.
Project area could pursue prescriptive rights based on history of access through area
adjacent to 5408 Neptune
3.1.1 -8 ...prescriptive rights... parcel must be designed or conditions imposed to avoid
interference with prescriptive rights....
3.1.1- 9..protect expand coastal access...
3.1.1 -12 Protect public access through setback and other property development
regulations of the zoning code that control building placement.
This would directly stop the modification permit. If the committee for which the
applicant is on, has sought to change the above policies in a manner that would be
favorable to this particular development, then the policy revisions should be looked at
again, as the intentions of protecting our coast should not change.
3.1.1 -14 REQUIRE an offer to dedicate (OTD) an easement for vertical access in all
new development projects causing or contributing to adverse public access
impacts ... sufficient size to accommodate two way pedestrian passage... landscape
buffer... sited along the border or side property line of the project site or away from the
existing or proposed development to the MAXIMUM FEASIBLE EXTENT
Placing vertical easement away from both existing and proposed project is easily
accomplished with a road and sidewalk in side area. This is the fitting solution that
complies with city and coastal acts and removes most of the objections, allowing Neptune
to remain the cul -de -sac, and if buildings are sited properly, maintain my ocean view.
3.1.1 -19 ... develop long -range plan for public trails and walkways
31
�aS
Policy 3.1.5 -2 PROHIBITnew PRIVATE streets, or the CONVERSION OFPUBLIC
STREETS TO PRIVATE STREETS, WHERE SUCHA CONVERSION WOULD INHIBIT
PUBLIC ACCESS TO .... SHORELINE
This is exactly what the project is intending to do and is contrary to this policy. This
would be converting a private road, (Neptune) to turn into a "private driveway ". This
project seeks to have "the individual driveways" going in the opposite direction to be
called a "driveway" that hooks up into the established city street, Neptune Ave. They
wish to have the "driveway" to be treated as a private road for emergency and city
services. This does not qualify in any manner for conversion without being out of
compliance with said policy.
Conclusion
Other neighbors and tenants have had this project presented in a manner to appeal to their
"perceived" individual likes while consistently implying that nothing can be done to stop this
project. Public outreach conducted by applicant at a non -city facility this month, where a
planning commissioner appeared to favorably answer some questions redirected from applicant,
could lead one to believe nothing can be done, even though this was probably not the intention.
Troubling is that none of my tenants have had any notifications to date at all from applicant.
The intention of applicant appears to utilize the public relations firm to market to the
neighborhood to avoid upset residents writing in to object to projects. We all know this is how
developers operate, it is just smart business and this isn't to fault them, but there is a point where
the process is no longer fair and this is bordering on this precipice. The planning commission
and council are there to protect the city from land use decisions that will affect the quality of life
for its residents forever. This is the type of project that demands an EIR, if not an outright
rejection as presented.
Most PR firms will try to market the development in advance through "coffee chats" and
informal friendly meetings, in order to tailor the project to their perceived specific interests. I
was told, (based on my age I presume) that these units would be primarily second residences for
retired people that would seldom be there. I was also told they would be marketing the units for
3.3 million, again to appeal to the thought of increased property values. Instead, I recognized the
sales pitch. However I was most insulted when a "proponent" tried to state it would be getting
rid of "those" tenants. I informed him "those" tenants had never been a problem, always quiet,
and the fact that tenants are controlled by a manager, you don't have the problems associated
with "rehab facilities" or weekly vacation rentals, which is by far, a much more likely scenario
when investors try to recoup their money for a condo.
It is my belief through my research that this investor group is primarily the same group
from two years ago. I am troubled by the inclusion of the applicant to participate within
committees that could affect the outcome of this project for which I believe he would benefit and
would certainly be in violation of the Brown Act for conflict of interest concerning financial
interests. I spoke to staff and expressed my objections, yet applicant is still on the committee.
Committee was intended to have public input, and not to consist primarily of developer related
members. I had a Public Records Act refused by planning department, after I was told I initially
32
could receive the Marston Keyser rent study, as I felt this would prove that tenants were being
evicted or offered incentives to move if they were low income. I felt this study would validate
this. I expressed my concerns, yet this MND has accepted a pro -forma without seeing the escrow
papers, determining how many investors, in which to spread the profit/risk.
I submitted numerous letters to planner addressing detailed concerns, yet none of my
objections were included in the MND. None of my objections were taken into account in
studying my suggestions as alternatives.
I have asked for an extension of time to respond from Newport Beach, the lead agency. I
have been told this will likely be continued, however, I am still required to submit objections to
the MND to protect my interests during this comment period.
In closing, this is the wrong project for Newport. It is too dense, too tall, and too close to
other residences, it doesn't fit in, it is benefiting the developers to the detriment of the existing
citizens, just to name a few concerns! I request this project be denied, or at the very least
demand an EIR.

1. Response to Comments
The following provides all written comments received on the Initial Study prepared for the Seashore
Village project and the City's responses to each comment. The project site is located at 5515 River
Avenue in the City of Newport Beach, Orange County, California. The project site is generally bordered
by River Avenue to the north, Seashore Drive to the south residential units, including vacation rentals, to
the east, and a City -owned park to the west.
The Mitigated Negative Declaration /Initial Study (MND /IS) was forwarded to the State Clearing House on
February 19, 2008 for distribution to responsible and trustee agencies for a 30-day review period and the
notice was posted on -site in the area where the project is to be located and also mailed to the owners
:.nd occupants of contiguous property. The posted and mailed notices indicated that the 30 -day review
period would begin on February 20, 2008 and end on March 20, 2008; however, because the site was
posted on February 20, 2008, it was determined by the City Attorney's Office that the public comment
period began the following day, February 21, 2008 with the public comment period concluding on March
21, 2008. The project was continued from the March 20, 2008 Planning Commission hearing to allow for
the full public comment period.
Comment letters and specific comments are given letters and numbers for reference purposes. Where
sections of the Initial Study are excerpted in this document, the sections are shown indented. Changes
to the Initial text are shown in boi&and double ... underline for additions and strikeaut for deletions.

d Lead agendas should include provisions for discovery of Native American human remains or unmarked cemeteries
in their mitigation plans.
CEQA Guidelines, Section 15054.5(d) requires the lead agency to vmrk with the Native Americana identified
emane, within the APE. CEQA Guidelines provide for agreements With Native American, IderNtied by the
NAHC, toaesure the appropriate and digrdtind treatment of Native American human remains and any associated
grave Irons.
4 Heeth'and Safety Code §7050.5, Public Resources Code §5097.98 and Sac. §15084.5 (d) of the California Code
of Regulations (CEQA Gudeines) mandate procedures to be followed, including that construction or excavation be
stopped In the event of an accidental discovery of any human remains in a location other than a dedicated cemetery,
until the county coroner or madmal examiner can determine Whether the reins are Umse of a Native American. .
Note that §7052 ntthe Health 8 Safety Codo states Mat disturbance of Native American cemeteries is a felony.

D°Caro further asserts the MND does not adequately analyze the impacts and fads to clearly
describe.the.numerous impacts theproject willcreate.
AN EM IS REQUMD
I request this project complete. an Environmental Impact Report as the mitigated negative
declaration has not addressed the numerous issues that were raised to staff prior to release'of the, MND,
nor do they adequately address the issues that have beentaised in the following objections to the
MND. 'There is no,doubt that a fair argument can be made numerous potential significant effects .
remain that have not beelr addressed nor disclosed.in the. mitigated negative declaration.
The. CEQA.guildines equate fair argument and substantial evidence as qne in the
same. Substantial evidence consists of facts, re.&sonable.assumpfions prediriited'upon facts and expert
opinion supported byfwts. The MNB'.s analysis of impacts is legally inadequate, as it fails to clearly

MIND misrepresents the importance of findings from Archaeological data MND states
records search was conducted and no archaeological evidence on ornear the site was found The
MND neglected to state that the prior studies that were done did not include this area; therefore
there were no sites that could be found if they were never studied. Of the areas studied, including
Within One-quarter mile, records checkfound a minimum of 11 archaeological sites within one

generally considered.:sensitive for prehistoric archaeological resources and should be eowidered
moderately sensitive for both: historic and prehistoric archaeological resources.

Archival research has, indicated it is sensitive for the presence 9f prehistoric period
archaeological resources within the project area. Surface survey is an inadequate method for defining
and evaluating these msoumea,'and even that wasn'tperfamed. Mitigations for this potential impact
would he to implement: a. program of subsurface testing, utilizing traditional or remote sensing
methods, designedand implemented by a Registered Professional Archaeologist. Testing would
determine the nature and extent ofarchaeological deposits'. If depegits wete located, they would be
evaluated according to the eligibility criteria ofthe California Register of flistorical Resources. If
eligible for listing on the Qdifomia Register of Historical Resources, measures to mitigate the effects
of the project on archaeological resources would be designed and implemented. Avoidance is the
prcfeaed.method of mitigation. If,.'howevey. avoidance is notfessible, alternative methods may be

1. Response to Comments
C Response to Comments from Lennie DeCaro, Property Owner of 5406 & 5408 Neptune
Avenue, Newport Beach, California, Dated March 13, 2008.
C -1. This comment contends that the proposed project will have numerous significant
adverse impacts in the areas of public access to the beach, displacement of low income
housing, traffic, privacy, sunlight, noise,' parking, air quality, noise, loss of rents, etc. The
issue of performance bond is also mentioned. The comment summarizes those topics
that are to be discussed in the rest of the letter with no specific comments. Please refer
to appropriate response in the following section.
C-2. The comment suggests that inadequate noticing was provided. Pursuant to Section
Sections 15105 (c) & 15073 (b ) of the CEQA Guidelines, the Mitigated Negative
Declaration /Initial Study (MND /IS) was forwarded to the State Clearing House on
February 19, 2008 for distribution to responsible and trustee agencies for a 30day
review period. Pursuant to Section 15072(b) and 15105, the notice was posted on -site in
the area where the project is to be located and also mailed to the owners and occupants
of contiguous property. The posted and mailed notices indcaied that the 30-day review
period would begin on February 20, 2008 and end on March 20, 2008; however,
because the site was posted on February 20, 2008, it was determined by the City
Attorney's Office that the public comment period began the following day, February 21,
2008 with the public comment period concluding on March 21, 2008. The project was
continued from the March 20, 2008 Planning Commission hearing to allow for the full
public comment period. Therefore, adequate noticing has been provided and no further
response is necessary.
C-3. The commenter contends that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be prepared
for the project because there is substantial adequate evidence to support a fair
argument that the project will have significant adverse impacts. The commenter also /'�, .
concludes that the Initial Study fails to clearly describe or offer mitigation for potential OR
significant impacts. As detailed in responses to this comment letter, the Initial Study
prepared for the project, does substantiate that project- related impacts will be less than
significant or will be reduced to a less than significant level upon implementation of the
recommended mitigation measures. There are no conditions which require the
preparation of an EIR for this project. Comments regarding applicant indemnification of
the City are not within the purview of the environmental review for this project.
C -4. The comment claims that the proposed project would result in a cumulatively significant
impact due to the intense amount of traffic, noise, and air pollution generated on
Neptune Avenue. The comment inaccurately describes Neptune Avenue as a cul-de-sac.
Neptune is not a cul-de -sac because there is not an adequate turning radius for vehicles
and does not comply with City's Standards STD -102 -L and STD -103 -L (cul -de -sac
standards) to safely turn around. In addition, as shown in Table 17, Project- Generated
Traffic, of the Initial Study, the proposed project would result in a net decrease in traffic
volumes by 178 average daily trips. Although the proposed project would create a new
connection from Neptune Avenue to River Avenue, River Avenue terminates at the
project site and a new vehicle access to Seashore Drive or any other streets for
convenient beach access would not be created. The project site would be clearly
marked and appear as a private property to discourage public from entering and using
the driveway as a pass -thru. All visitor parking would also be clearly marked as residents
only. Since this new access would only connect River Avenue and Neptune Avenue,
where River Avenue terminates at the site, any changes to the circulation pattern in the
area would be minimal, including beach traffic. The comment that the proposed project
would force over one hundred cars from the development is inaccurate.
C -5. The comment asserts that project's significant impact must be adequately addressed
and mitigation measures should be identified. it also asserts that the Initial Study should
compare the project impacts to feasible alternatives. The Initial Study was prepared in
compliance with the appropriate section of the CEQA Guidelines, and concludes that
potential project- related impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level. CEQA
Seashore Village Response to Comments City of Newport Beach • Page 1 -47
I. Response to Comments
does require evaluation of project alternatives for projects for which all impacts can be
mitigated to less than significant and Mitigated Negative Declarations can be processed.
Aesthetic Impacts
C -6. The comment asserts that any substantial, negative effect of a project on view and other
features of beauty could constitute a significant environmental impact under CEQA and
that lay opinions that articulate the basis of the opinion can constitute substantial
evidence of a negative aesthetic impact. The comment also asserts that the proposed
project would result in the obstruction of the ocean views from the living room and
balcony of the property at 5408 Neptune Avenue. The commentor further indicates that
the view would be greater with rooftop decking. However, there is no rooftop decking.
The existing apartment building has a side setback of approximately 60 feet near the
River Avenue site boundary and narrows toward Seashore Drive by approximately 15
feet. The property at 5408 Neptune Avenue currently has an ocean view from the second
floor living room and the patio via the open - parking area of the existing apartment
complex and the approximately 30- foot -wide open area between the three -story
buildings on 55th Street (see Figure 1, View Corridor Analysis).
Figures 1 and 2, View Corridor Analysis and Photo of View Corridor, respectively, show
the view corridor from 5408 Neptune Avenue. As proposed, a modification permit is
being requested by the project applicant to reduce the minimum building- separation
distance required by the MFR Zoning District from 10 feet to 6 feet, to reduce the
minimum front- setback distances along Seashore Drive and River Avenue from 20 feet to
a minimum of 10 feet, and to reduce the minimum side setbacks from 25 feet (which is
based on the lot width) to a minimum of 4 feet.
As shown in Figure 1, a structure that conformed to the specified 25 -foot side setback
(along eastern property boundary) as required per the zoning code in the MFR Zoning
District would obstruct the current view corridor of 5408 Neptune Avenue. This would
impose a negative visual impact to the existing residence, as it would obstruct the
existing private view afforded to it. Although the City does not have private -view
protection policies or regulations, when a deviation is requested from what is normally
permitted by the Zoning Code, it is reasonable to take into consideration the resulting
private view impacts the deviation creates. However, the proposed 4 -foot side setback
along the eastern project boundary would not negatively impact the private view to the
existing residence anymore than a conforming project would. Additionally, as shown on
Figure 1, a structure which conformed to the specified 20 -foot street setback along
Seashore Drive as required per the zoning code would obstruct the current view corridor
of 5408 Neptune Avenue. Similar to the reasoning provided above, the proposed 10 -foot
front setback along Seashore Drive would not negatively impact the private view to the
existing residence anymore than a conforming project would.
The City's General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan focus on the protection of public
views. As stated in the Initial Study, Policy 4.4.2 -2 of the Coastal Land Use Plan states,
"preserve public views through the height, setback, floor area, lot coverage, and building
bulk regulation of the Zoning Code in effect as of October 13, 2005 that limit the building
profile and maximize public view opportunities" (emphasis added). Additionally,
pursuant to General Plan Policies NR 20.1 to NR20.4 and Coastal Land Use Plan Policy
4.4.1 -6, the emphasis is on the protection of public views. Since the reduced setbacks
would not negatively impact the private view to the existing residence anymore than a
conforming project would impact the view, and because the project would not obstruct
public views, the proposed project would not result in a significant view impact.
The commentor is also concerned over the degradation of property values. CEQA does
not require an MIND to address economic impacts associated with a proposed project,
which by themselves do not cause or contribute to physical impacts on the environment.
Specifically, the CEQA Guidelines state that "Economic or social information may be
included in an EIR or may be presented in whatever form the agency desires" (emphasis
Page 1 -48 • The Planning Center April 2008
I . Response to Comments
added, CEQA Guidelines, Section 15131). Further, the Guidelines state that the
"Economic and social effects of a project shall not be treated as significant effects on the
environment" (Section 15131 [a]). The intent of CEQA is to evaluate and mitigate physical
impacts on the environment. In conclusion, the comment regarding project impacts on
property values is acknowledged. This issue, however, is not within the purview of the
environmental review of the project per CEQA, and therefore, this comment will be
forwarded to the appropriate decision - makers for their review and evaluation.
C -7. CEQA requires analysis of project- related impacts in comparison to existing conditions.
Sunset View Park is approximately 0.5 mile east of the project site and existing
intervening multi -story residential development precludes ocean views in the direction of
the project site. Development of the proposed project will not alter potential views from
Sunset Park.
C-8. The commenter correctly notes the findings that must be made to approve the requested
Modification Permit. These findings must be made by the decision - makers (City Planning
- Commissioners). In the application for the permit, the. applicant has concluded that
development of the same type of building that currently exists on the project site would
not be compatible with the changing character of the area and would not result in a
marketable residential product. The proposed development, 24 single - family homes and
duplexes situated on individual pads, are designed to represent individual homes similar
to development in surrounding R -1 and R -2 zoned areas. Although the MFR codes allow
the proposed use, strict application of this zoning designation would preclude this type
of development because of the required large setbacks. Ultimately the City's decision -
makers are charged with making the finding that the proposed project would be
consistent with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code
C -9. As noted in the previous response, the required finding referenced in this comment el
would need to be made by the City's decision - makers. The Modification Permit WN
application concludes that the proposed development is "highly compatible with the WIM
existing neighborhood and the general West Newport area" and that the proposed
homes and duplexes would be "similar in size, proportion and separation to the
buildings along Seashore Drive and River Avenue." The project has been designed to
appear as if each unit is situated on a 30 -foot wide lot, and the side setbacks provided
are consistent and compatible with the required 3 -foot side yard setbacks of the
surrounding 30- and 40 -foot -wide lots in the neighborhood. The City's decision- makers
will consider the application and the specifics modifications requested and determine
whether they agree with this finding.
C -10. Based on the analysis in the Initial Study, the proposed project would not adversely
affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood or
detrimental to property or improvements in the neighborhood. As stated in response to
Comment C -9, the project has been designed to include setbacks comparable to the
setback requirements of the surrounding R -1 and R -2 lots and similar setback and
distancing requirements are common throughout the City and have not proven
detrimental. This finding, however, is a specific finding that will be required by the City's
decision - makers with respect to the requesting zoning requirement modifications to
approve the proposed project. Additionally, as concluded in response to Comment Cf,
the proposed project would not obstruct or prevent public views of the ocean.
C -11. As shown in Figure 3, Surrounding Area Photographs, existing residential units along the
ocean side of Seashore Drive include three -story buildings and three -story buildings also
exist on the north side of Seashore Drive, River Avenue, and Neptune Avenue. Under the
R -1 and R -2 districts, a 24 -foot base height limit with an additional 5 feet in height to the
ridge is permitted and 3 -story structures are commonly designed and constructed.
The site is in the 28/32 -foot height - limitation zone that permits buildings and structures to
exceed the 28 -foot height limit up to a maximum of 32 feet through the approval of a use
permit. Ridges of pitched roofs are permitted to exceed the height limit by 5 additional
feet. The six duplex units that are proposed to exceed the 28 -foot base height limit have
Seashore Village Response to Comments City of Newport Beach • Page 1 -49
I. Response to Comments
been designed with low- pitched gable roof lines, resulting in a maximum midpoint
elevation of 28 feet 10 inches (10 inches over the maximum limit) and a maximum ridge
elevation of 31 feet 4 inches (1400t 8- inches under the maximum ridge limit)..
C -12. The commenter's objection to modifying the MFR required setbacks for the project are
noted and will be forwarded to decision - makers. The sideyard setback reduction would
place the proposed residential units in close proximity to the existing units along the
eastern boundary. However, as discussed in response to Comment C-6, the proposed
pro act is designed to appear as 4 the units were situated on individual 30- foot -wide lots
an� setbacks comparable to surrounding R -1 and R -2 lots. Using the R -1 and R -2
development standards as a guide for determining acceptable setbacks and building
separation, the proposed setbacks would not intensify the difference in height or style of
the surrounding development. Additionally, the duplex proposed closest to the 5408
Neptune Avenue property maintains a minimum setback of 7 1/2 feet and increases to a
setback of 13 feet, providing a significantly increased sideyard setback area than that of
comparable R -1 and R -2 lots with 3 -foot sideyard setbacks.
C -13. The commentor also stated that the MND omitted mentioning the modification permit
component of the reduction of the required 25 -foot sideyard setback to 3 -feet. Pursuant
to this comment, the third paragraph provided in question a) on page 39 of Initial Study
has been modified to include all the components of the modification permit as shown in
Section 2, Revisions, of this to Comments. Additionally, for consistency, the second
bullet point provided in Section 1.5, Discretionary Approval, on page 25 has also been
modified as shown in Section 2. However, as concluded in response to Comment C-6,
these modifications would not alter the conclusion of the visual - impact analysis and no
mitigation measures are required as a result of the modification.
C -14. Please refer to response to Comment C -8.
C -15. The proposed project may appear to remove visual open space as commented.
However, the proposed project would provide 675,416 cubic feet, which would exceed
the open space requirements of 247,313 cubic feet as required under the MFR Zoning
District. The proposed open space areas also exceed the existing open space, which is
590,072 cubic feet. Additionally, as stated in the response to Comment C -13, as
developed, the project site consists of minimal landscaping areas, which includes the
landscaped lawn area and trees located around the pool area of the L- shaped apartment
complex. As proposed, the project would provide more landscaping areas
(approximately 18,390 square feet) than currently exists on -site (approximately 9,393
square feet). As such, the project would not result in a significant aesthetic or visual
impacts and no mitigation is required.
C -16. A street that connected River Avenue and Seashore Drive did not exist. The street
referenced in the historic map shown in page 373 of Appendix D that connects River
Avenue to ocean front is actually 54th Street and there was never an access from River
Avenue to Seashore Drive immediately east adjacent to the project site. In addition,
Neptune Avenue is not a cul -de -sac, as it does not provide adequate turning radius
required for a cul -de -sac.
The commenter's suggested revisions to the project are forwarded via this Response to
Comments document to decision - makers for consideration.
C -17. The square footage comparison of the existing apartment to the proposed development
is noted. The MND refers to residential densities based on the number of units per acre.
The project site is currently developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex. The proposed
project would reduce the existing density to 24 single - family units, a decrease in 30
units. The reduction in the number of residential units would directly result in a reduction
in traffic generation in comparison to the existing use.
C -18. The lot area for the project site is 1.49 acres (64,904 square feet). The City of Newport
Beach uses floor -area limit, not floor area ratio to evaluate residential development.
Page 1 -50 •The Planning Center Apri12008
�1�14
1. Response to Comments
Floor Area Limit is calculated based on the net acreage of the site after subtracting the
setbacks. The maximum floor -area limit for the project is 1.75, which equates to 72,133
square feet. The proposed project would result in a floor -area limit of1.23, or 50,706
square feet. In accordance with the provision outlined in Section 20.10.30(M) of the
Municipal Code, the 200 square feet of floor area of required parking devoted to
enclosed parking was not included in the floor -area limit calculation. Additionally, the
comment incorrectly references the paved parking area as open space. The existing
development has approximately 9,393 square feet of landscaping and open space, while
the proposed project would result in 18,390 square feet of landscaping and open space
area.
The current large setbacks do provide visual openness in some angles as commented.
However, as shown in Figure 4, Site Photographs, the existing building has 48,744
square feet of building area under one roofline, which is significantly larger than all other
structures in the area. Additionally, the existing large setbacks for the site are not typical
of the surrounding development. As shown in Figure 3, Surrounding Area Photographs,
and Figures 5a and 5b, Side Setbacks, adjacent ,buildings in the area have
approximately three- to four -foot side setbacks. Aesthetic impacts are subjective and one
aspect of visual character cannot be the sole basis of finding visual impact as significant.
The proposed project would provide required tenant and guest parking.
The comment regarding "giving" the developer the park is not based on any factual data
and is speculative only. The park wilt remain as a public park and there would be no
design treatment to suggest that it is a private facility.
Air Quality
C -19. Emissions associated with the proposed project have been calculated to respond to the
comment and are shown in Table. 1 below. As demonstrated within Table 1, total
emissions from both stationary and mobile sources are a small fraction of the SCAQMD
regional emissions thresholds. These emissions assume that all these emissions are
based on new project- related vehicle trips without subtracting the emissions associated
with the existing uses. The comment regarding the footprint of buildings being 19
percent larger than the existing uses would not change the fact that emissions from the
proposed project are still far below the South Coast Air Quality Management District
( SCAQMD) CEQA significance thresholds for all analyzed pollutants.

would still not result in an exceedance of the SCAQMD CEQA significance thresholds
and would consequently not result in a significant air quality impact.
C -21- Please see Response C -16.
C -22. The comment is incorrect in its assertion that asphalt emissions were not accounted for
within the air quality analysis. The air quality analysis did model emissions associated
with paving. Emissions associated with paving equipment and evaporative emissions
from asphalt were calculated using the URBEMIS2007 model and included within Table
5 of the Initial Study.
C -23. To clarify, the Initial Study stated that there were no thresholds established for
greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions of criteria pollutants were calculated compared to
the SCAQMD significance thresholds and a finding of less than significant air quality
impacts was presented. A finding of less than significant greenhouse gas emissions was
also presented due to the small scale of emissions associated with this project.
The Localized Significance Threshold (LST) analysis followed the protocol established
by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) of using the closest
distance between the air pollutant source and the receptor of 25 meters (82 feet). This
approach is also consistent with the closest distance analyzed of 25 meters for health
risk assessments per Rule 1401. The LST screening approach is also considered by the
SCAQMD to be conservative because it applies worst -case wind direction and speeds.
In addition, the project is under mandatory compliance with Rule 402 and Rule 403
which apply to nuisance and dust emissions from construction activity as they occur.
Lastly, 'rf there is a problem with dust plumes or air pollution, the sensitive residences
proximate to the project site can call the code enforcement division of the SCAQMD to
ensure that excessive emissions resulting from construction activities do not occur.
C -24. There were four references within the air quality section to Appendix A for the modeling
output. There was a typographic error in another reference to Appendix B, which did not
have the air quality modeling. The air quality modeling assumptions had been provided
in Appendix A of the Initial Study, The typographic error in page 57 of the Initial Study
has been revised and is reflected in the Revisions to the Initial Study Section.
C -25. Demolition activities that involve Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) are required to
comply with SCAQMD Rule 1403. Mandatory compliance with this rule will result in less
than significant air quality impacts related to ACM.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency, in June 18, 2003, established a
lead paint rule, which allows landfills to accept residential lead -based paint waste at
municipal landfills. This Rule was enacted to accelerate the removal of lead based paint
from residences so that people, especially children, would not be exposed to ingested
lead. The existing structures may or may not contain lead -based paint. Demolition of
structures that may potentially contain lead paints is beneficial to the environment
because it removes a substance that can cause central nervous system disorders.
Unlike asbestos, lead is only a concern when ingested. Demolition of the existing
structures would remove the potential for oral ingestion of lead paints.Demolition debris
would be loaded and removed from the project site to be disposed of-at a local landfill.
Greenhouse gas emissions were quantified per recommendations of the SCAQMD,
which currently does not have an established threshold for evaluating greenhouse gas
emissions. The SCAQMD does have significance thresholds for criteria pollutants to
identify substantial pollutant emitters. As shown in Table 1, the project emissions are far
below the significance thresholds established for criteria pollutants, due to the minimal
amount of development associated with the proposed project. The rationale that the
SCAQMD significance thresholds are an indicator of whether the project results in
substantial quantities of the emissions was also applied for greenhouse gases. Because
the proposed project would not result in an exceedance of the SCAQMD significance
thresholds for criteria pollutants, it was surmised that the project would likewise not
Page 1 -52 *The Planning Center Apri12008
T�
1. Response to Comments
result in substantial amounts of greenhouse gases. This project is minimal in scale
relative to other development pro acts. Based on the SCAQMD significance thresholds, it
is not the intent of the SCAQMD to identify projects with such a small scale as
substantial pollutant emitters. Consequently, it is unlikely that the SCAQMD or any other
regulatory agency would determine that the greenhouse gas emissions from the project
would result in a significant impact relative to global climate change.
C-26. As discussed previously, Table 1 shows that project related emissions are far below
SCAQMD CEQA significance thresholds even if all of the vehicle trips . were considered
new and without deducting the existing trips. The finding and significance would not
change and the proposed project would not result in significant air quality impacts.
C -27. The evaluation of construction LSTs is based on SCAQMD modeling methodology. The
project is not anticipated to involve mass grading. Trenching emissions are quantified
an shown in the attached appendix. Trenching emissions were found to be less than
that which would occur during the fine grading phase and would not result in an
exceedance of the SCAQMD CEQA significance thresholds for construction activities.
Projects are constructed in phases. The phases used within the air quality analysis were
developed by the SCAQMD. The construction schedule was estimated to follow an 18-
month schedule. This duration is not unreasonable for a project of this scale.
The temperature of 60 degrees used in the analysis for winter conditions is a SCAQMD
recommended default. Deviation from this default value would not result in a meaningful
change in air pollutant emissions nor change the finding of significance.
C -28. Project compliance to SCAQMD Rule 403 is mandatory. The commentor's assertion that
it is a mitigation measure is incorrect. A mitigation measure goes beyond regulatory
requirements. Rule 403 is a regulatory requirement of the SCAQMD. Consequently it O, OV
does not need to be "called out specifically in the mitigation." 2
C -29. A health risk analysis is only necessary for projects that have prolonged usage of diesel -
fueled vehicles. Diesel exhaust is the primary cause of respiratory cancer risk in the
South Coast Air Basin. The SCAQMD does not require nor recommend a health risk
analysis for construction activities of such a short duration as necessary for the
proposed project. Health risk analyses are conducted for diesel exhaust exposure over a
lifetime (70 years). Consequently, a health risk analysis for construction activities of such
a short duration would not result in a significant health risk impact. Diesel- fueled vehicles
would be used intermittently at the project site during construction and would not
constitute a major source of diesel exhaust exposure. The operational phase of the
project would not result in a daily use of diesel vehicles. Consequently, no health risk
analysis is warranted for the proposed project.
C -30. The analysis of lead emissions generated from the proposed project is not required nor
recommended by the SCAQMD. The South Coast Air Basin has been in a state of
attainment for lead for at least two decades. With the banning of lead -based paints and
lead in gasoline, lead emissions are only of concern from stationery industrial sources
whose processes involve lead emissions. Consequently, the air quality analysis of
project related emissions does not need to evaluate lead.
The commentor's assertion that PM,,, was not evaluated is incorrect. It was evaluated
within the Initial Study and found to result in less than significant air quality impacts.
C -31. This comment pertains to the commenter's confusion of the interpretability of the air
quality appendix of a different project and, as such, does not relate to the proposed
project. It is not the responsibility of the CEQA analysis for the proposed project to clarify
confusion on another project. If the commenter is implying that the apppPendix is
confusing for both the proposed project as well as the Newport Beach DEIR, this is
standardized output that the SCAQMD had developed for the URBEMIS model.

In regards to the comment that ROGs is not defined, reactive organic gases are those
comppounds that have high enough vapor pressures that under normal atmospheric
conditions leads to vaporization. The SCAQMD considers ROGs and VOCs to be
synonymous. ROGs are Reactive Organic Gases and VOCs are Volatile Organic
Compounds.
Biological Resources
C -32. As shown in Figure 6, Aerial Photograph, the project site is a completely developed site
with very limited landscaping. There is no need to conduct a literature review to include
data on biological resources in the project vicinity. A field visit by the staff biologist
indicated that on -site plants are ornamental landscaping materials and are not of any
significant biological importance. As indicated, no potential habitat for special status
species exists on- or off -site and no additional investigation was deemed necessary. Per
your comment, Phil Brylski has been added to the list of preparers.
C -33. The City of Newport Beach does not have any tree ordinance concerning on -site trees. .
Council Policies G -1, Retention or Removal of City Trees, is applicable only to City trees
and G -3, Reservation of Views, deals with views lost due to excessive plant growth.
These policies are not applicable to the proposed project Removal of all on -site
landscaping, including mature palm trees, would not conflict with these City policies.
C34. As part of the Condition of Approval N. 36, two City trees ( Cajeput trees) on Seashore
Drive would be removed to accommodate the sidewalk construction on Seashore Drive.
However, these are not designated as special trees by the City and they would be
removed in compliance with the tree ordinance. Additionally, draft Condition of Approval
No. 37 stipulates that new City- designated street trees will be planted along River
Avenue frontage. All street trees would be planted per City stan dards and guidelines
provided by the City General Services Department and Art analysis or mitigation
measures are necessary. The Draft Conditions of Approval is contained in Appendix B of
this document.
C -35. Condition of Approval No. 17 states that All landscape materials and landscaped areas
shall be installed and maintained in accordance with the approved landscape plan. All
landscaped areas shall be maintained in a healthy and growing condition and shall
receive regular pruning, fertilizing, mowing and trimming. All landscaped areas shall be
kept free of weeds and debris. All irrigation systems shall be kept operable, including
adjustments, replacements, repairs, and cleaning as part of regular maintenance." The
Initial Study states that the existing apartment complex provides approximately 9,393
square feet of landscaping area and the proposed project would provide approximately
20,987 square feet. Figure 7, Landscape Plan, has been provided.
C -36. It is the City's policy to retain City threes categorized as Landmark, Dedicated, or
Neighborhood trees, which have historical significance, and /or contributed to and give
character to a location or to an entire neighborhood. Landmark, Dedicated, and
Neighborhood trees are identified by species by Attachment 1 of Retention or Removal
of City Trees ordinance (Council Policy G -1). The proposed project would require
removal of two city trees on Seashore Drive. these two trees are identified as Cajeput
trees (Melaleuca quinquinervia) and are listed under Attachment 1. The proposed project
would not impact any special trees as defined by the City Code.
Cultural Resources
C37. As stated, the entire project site is already developed, which means the project site is
underlain by engineered soils that have been disturbed previously. Therefore, although
the project area may be potentially sensitive for cultural resources, the on -site potential
would be minimal. No confirmed artifacts have been reported near the project site. In the
absence of a confirmed artifact, implementation of Mitigation Measures 2 and 3 have
been deemed an appropriate site - speck level of response based on the analysis and
recommendations, as is typical industry practice. Because the lead agency recognized
Page 1 -54 • The Planning Center Apri12008
_, b
1. Response to Comments
the potential for discovery upon deeper excavation beyond previous development,
Mitigation Measures 2 and 3 have been incorporated to reduce impacts to a less than
significant level.
C38. The Native American Heritage Commission has reviewed the Initial Study and has
responded in a standard response letter dated March 5, 2008. The Initial Study
recognizes the potential for discovery of subsurface cultural resources and provided
Mitigation Measures 2 and 3 to reduce impacts to a less than significant level.
Geology and Soils
C -39. It was a typographical error and it does not alter the conclusion of the analysis. Pursuant
to your comment, the title page for the geotechnical investigation has been revised. The
text with purple highlighter was not intended to emphasize or delete the text.
C-40. The project description indicates that the project site will be balanced, which indicates
that there would be no significant import or export of :;oils. Construction impacts during
the grading phase were addressed in the traffic, noise, and air quality sections of the
Initial Study. Vibration impacts have been addressed in the noise section of the Initial
Study. Please refer to Noise for vibration impacts.
C-41. As indicated in the Initial Study, the proposed project is required to comply with the
criteria and seismic design parameters of the Unriorm Building Code, California Building
Code, and the Structural Engineers Association of California. All grading and foundation
plans are required to be reviewed and approved prior to any site disturbance. There has
been a typographical error in page 65 of the Initial Study. The Geotechnical Investigation
report prepared by EGA Consultants dated June 13, 2007 is included in Appendix C of
the In tial Study instead of Appendix B. The typographical error has been revised in
Section 2, Revisions to the Initial Study.
C-42. The project subsurface exploration consisted of the excavation of six exploratory borings
to a maximum depth of 10 feet below grade. No seepage or surface water ponding was
noted on the project site and groundwater was encountered at depths of approximately
6 to 8 feet below grade. Groundwater was encountered at 4 feet below grade at the River
Avenue sidewalk elevation, which is approximately 2.5 feet below the project site area
elevation. The soils investigation report also acknowledges that the perched
groundwater encountered is subject to tidal fluctuations. Whereas area soil records may
show the water table at 1 foot below surface, the on -site subsurface exploration presents
more accurate description of the site condition. Based on various elements considered
in the geotechnical report, including tidal fluctuation, the report concluded that there are
no significant geotechnical constraints on -site that cannot be mitigated by proper
planning, design, and sound construction practices. The engineering properties of the
soil and native materials and the surface drainage offer favorable conditions for
construction of the proposed project. All on -site runoffs are required to be contained
within the site and would not drain to surrounding properties. Pursuant to this comment,
Figure 8, Preliminary Grading Plan, has been included as part of this response.
Hazardous Materials
C-43. The Initial Study discloses that existing structures on -site are required to be surveyed for
lead -base paint prior to demolition. In June 18, 2003, the United States Environmental
Protection Agency established a lead paint rule, which allows landfills to accept
residential lead based paint waste at municipal landfills. This Rule was enacted to
accelerate the removal of lead -based paint from residences so that people, especially
children, would not be exposed to ingested lead. The existing structures may or may not
contain lead -based paint. Demolition of structures that may potentially contain lead
paints is beneficial to the environment, because it removes a substance that can cause
central nervous system disorders. Unlike asbestos, lead paint is only a concern when
ingested. Demolition of the existing structures would remove the potential for oral
ingestion of lead paints. Demolition debris would be loaded and removed from the

project site for disposed at a local landfill. Therefore, lead -base paint survey and removal
will be administered through the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health as
required. The Initial Study is not deferring possible mitigation.
Hydrology and Water Quality
C-44. Prior to issuance of grading permits, a final Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) will
need to be prepared and approved by the Building Department and Code and Water
Quality Enforcement Division. The WQMP will provide appropriate Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to ensure that no violations of water quality standards or waste
discharge requirements occur. The WQMP included in Appendix E of the Initial Study
would be supplemented and refined to the satisfaction of the Building Department and
Code and Water Quality Enforcement Division. Ongoing property maintenance of
common areas including maintenance of the Best Management Practices (BMPs) as set
forth in the WQMP would be the responsibility of the Homeowner's Association (HOA).
An HOA would be established and Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions (OCR's)
adopted that identify the association's common area and responsibilities, explain the
obligation of the association to collect assessment, and the obligation for owners to pay
the assessments. For clarification, the Project Description as been supplemented to
include this information (please see Section 2.2 of this Response to Comments). As
included in Condition of Approval No. 41, all on -site utilities shall be owned, operated,
and maintained by the community /association. Condition of Approval No. 26 also
specified that a list of "good house - keeping" practices will be incorporated into the long-
term post- construction operation of the site to minimize the likelihood that pollutants that
could impair water quality would be used, stored, or spilled on the site. These may
include frequent parking area vacuum truck seeping, removal of wastes or spills, limited
use of harmful fertilizers of pesticides, and the diversion of stormwater away from
potential sources of pollution (e.g., trash receptacles and parking structures). Also as
part of this condition of approval, preparation of Stage 2 WQMP is required; this lists and
describes all structural and non - structural BMPs. The Stage 2 WQMP must also identif
the entity responsible for the long -term inspection, maintenance, and funding for all
structural (and, if applicable, treatment-control) BMPs.
Draft Condition of Approval No. 23 requires that prior to issuance of grading permits, a
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and Notice of Intent are prepared and submitted
to the State Water Quality Control Board approval and made part of the construction
program. This plan will detail measures and practices that would be in effect in during
construction to minimize the project's impact on water quality. The Initial Study identifies
these required procedures for the proposed project to follow and implement. Detailed
actions for the construction phase that include how demolition debris is disposed of or
stored, covered, and transported would be addressed in the SWPPP. No grading permits
will be issued without the evidence that proper clearances have been obtained through
the State Water Resources Control Board.
C-45. As required under the draft Condition of Approval No. 39, on -site runoff will be retained
on -site prior to entering the underground stormwater drainage system. The open bottom
trench which the commenter is referring to is located within the project site prior to
entering the underground stormwater drainage system. As shown in Figure 9,
Construction Staging and WQCP, the open bottom trench which the commenter is
referring to is located within the project site. The proposed project would not transfer any
maintenance responsibilities to the City.
C-46. Please see Response C-44. Figures 8 and 9 show proposed drainage concept for the
project, including perforated drain trench detail. The geotechnical investigation
conducted on -site borings and determined that ground water table is at 6 to 8 feet below
ground, not at 1 foot. The comment regarding soil class D subject to saturation and poor
drainage is inaccurate. The native soils consists generally of moist, medium dense, non -
cemented, fine- to medium-grained, beach sand, subject to percolation and good
drainage.

Automated irrigation system will ensure that heavy watering of the landscaped area does
not occur. All landscape materials and landscaped areas will be installed and maintained
in accordance with the approved landscape and irrigation plans prepared by a licensed
landscape architect. These plans shall incorporate drought - tolerant plantings and water -
efficient irrigation practices, and the plans shall be approved by the Planning
Department and the General Services Department. All planting areas shall be provided
with a permanent underground automatic sprinkler irrigation system of a design suitable
for the type and arrangement of the plant materials selected. The irrigation system will
be adjustable based on either a signal from a satellite or an on -site moisture - sensor.
Furthermore, as indicated in the WQMP, the proposed BMP's are designed to filter
pollutants naturally back in the ground on -site. The Figure 8, Preliminary Grading Plan,
shows the location of stormwater pipes and details of perforated drain trench and
groutless paver system. The asphalt paving at driveways with areas of groutless paver
systems would allow filtering of first flush runoff from the driveway. In addition, patios
and walks would be constructed with concrete that flows to the 6- to 8 -inch drainage
system equipped with an inline perforated drain_trepch, which would allow the pollutants
to fifter through the gravel bed back into the "sod. As discussed, the underlain soils
generally consist of beach sand with high infiltration rate. Additionally, the site will be
graded so that all runoff water is retained and treated on -site and that neighboring
properties are not affected by the proposed development. The combination of paver
system, erosion - resistant plants that absorb water, gravel side yards, and gravel trench
drains will contribute to retain runoff water on -site without flooding the project site or the
surrounding properties.
C-47. Section 3.8 Hydrology and Water Qualit , on page 70 of the Initial Study, discusses
regulations under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act and its requirements under
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permitting program.
Land Use
C-48. The concern regarding rehabilitation facilities is speculative and is also a socio-
economic issue which is beyond the scope of CEQA unless it would result in a physical
impact.
C-49. The proposed project would result in a less dense project with 24 single - family
residences than the current 54 -unit apartment complex.
The 54 -unit apartment complex currently provides a total of 100 parking spaces, 26 in
carports, 29 under the building, and 45 open. This results in a parking ratio of 1.85 per
unit. The proposed project would provide a total of 63 parking spaces, with 48 dedicated
residential spaces in garages and carports and 15 open guest spaces. Therefore, the
proposed project would have a parking ratio of 2.62 per unit. The City does not require
the parking spaces to be calculated based on the number of bedrooms and the
proposed project provides adequate parking per the City guidelines. The City of
Newport Beach Municipal Code 20.66.040 Parking Standards for Residential Districts
requires 2 spaces per unit plus 0.5 guest space for each dwelling unit.
The comment that the proposed project would give the appearance of a private
community park is inaccurate and speculative. The park would remain as a public park
and there would be no design treatment to give it the appearance of a private facility.
C -50. The project site has a lot size of 65,108 square feet, which is 1.49 acres. Pursuant to this
comment, the following text has been revised. This change would not alter the
conclusion of the impact analysis. Page 2 of the Initial Study has been modified as
follows:
The current permitted density at the site is 51 units per acre and the proposed project
would yield 16 units per acre. The project proposes a gross floor area of 67;996 5J7SIfi
square feet and a floor area t'afie limit of 048:L23.

of property covered by buildings and /or pavement is 97 percent. It merely describes the
existing site condition without any value judgment.
C-52. Figure 1, View Corridor Analysis, show the view corridor from 5408 Neptune Avenue.
However, this plan shows that the view corridor from this address is very narrow and
even with the conforming side setback, the view would be obstructed. As stated in the
Initial Study, the proposed project would not impact the public views. Please refer to
Response C -6, C -7, and C -11 for additional discussion regarding project - related view
impacts.
C -53. The proposed project is a private project which, based on the findings of the Initial
Study, would not result in significant environmental impacts. Consideration of project
alternatives, such as City purchase of the site for public park use, is not required by
CEQA. Please refer to Responses C-6 through C -18 with respect to the potential visual
impact and compatibility with surrounding development.
C -54. The Mitigated Negative Declaration /Initial Study was released for public review on
February 20, 2008. The comment refers to the Planning Commission Report, which is
separate from the CEQA noticing requirement.
The project description as included in the Initial Study is sufficient to address the
potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. As noted, project
implementation would replace an existing 54 -unit apartment building with a total of 24
housing units, resulting in a net reduction of 30 housing units on the property. Potential
future modifications of the individual units would be subject to City permits, are
speculative, and are not within the realm of the CEQA analysis.
C -55. Please refer to Response C -49.
C -56. The traffic analysis has been prepared in accordance with the City's Traffic Phasing
Ordinance. The use of ITE Trip Generation Manual for trip generation is the widely

C -58. A Homeowners Association will be formed and appropriate Covenants, Conditions, and
Restrictions (CC &R) adopted. Condition of Approval No. 41 requires that all on -site
utilities to be owned, operated, and maintained by the community /association (see
Appendix B for list of draft Conditions of Approval). The HOA will also be responsible for
maintenance of common areas.
C -59. The commentor's submittal of the 'Sober Houses' article is acknowledged and this
information will be forwarded to decision - makers. The potential for the proposed project
for this use is speculative and beyond the scope of CEQA review. As noted above,
formulation of an HOA will be required for the project.

residents of the Seashore Village project have the right to use. In addition, the traffic
generated by the proposed project would be minimal, with 14 AM peak hour trips and 18
PM peak -hour trips. Furthermore, Neptune Avenue is not the only access roadway to the
project site; there is access from and to River Avenue, which may be more convenient
for some of the future residents. The proposed project would actually result in a net
reduction in traffic by 178 average daily trips. The proposed project has less
development intensity and less project related traffic compared to the existing use and
no mitigation measures are necessary.
C-62. The comment that one of the two driveways on River Avenue for use of just one single -
family unit is unfair and that the proposed project should retain the existing
ingress /egress for the proposed project is not a feasible design alternative and would
impose undue restriction in development of the project site.
The current site plan allows for use of both Neptune Avenue and River Avenue for
access. The internal roadway would be a minimum of 26 feet. Neptune Avenue is not a
cufde -sac and it terminates at the project site.:.npening Neptune Avenue to connect to
River Avenue would actually improve the mobility of large emergency vehicles serving
Neptune Avenue. All on -site parking, vehicular, and pedestrian circulation systems would
be constructed in accordance with the City's standards and reviewed by the City Traffic
Engineer.

units are to be screened from view of neighboring properties and public places, except
when placed for pick -up by refuse collection agencies, and that trash containers are not
to be located within the required parking areas. The type and volume of solid wastes
generated by the proposed residential development would be comparable to other
residential use in the surrounding area and would not create unusual health and safety
hazards. (See Section 2, Revisions to the Initial Study, of this Response to Comments)

C-68. As part of long -term post construction operation of the site to minimize the water quality
impact, a list of good housekeeping practices would be incorporated, including, but not
limited to frequent parking area vacuum truck sweeping.
C -69. As spaded in Response C -62, the internal roadway would be a minimum of 26 -feet and
all onsite parking, vehicular, and pedestrian circulation systems would be required to
comply with City standards and reviewed by the City Traffic Engineer. Additionally, the
City of Newport Beach Fire Department has reviewed the proposed plans and location of
existing fire hydrant and has determined that additional fire hydrants would not be
necessary. The project is not within the jurisdiction of the Orange County Fire Authority.
Surrounding Land Use
C -70. Pursuant to this comment, page 1, Surrounding Land Use has been modified as follows:
The project site is surrounded by residential uses, sueh as including vacation rental
units, to the north, south, and east, and a city park Immediately to the west.
C -71. As noted in this comment for the existing apartment building, the proposed protect
would provide adequate parking for its residents and visitors. The proposed protect
would comply with the Citys parking requirements. The Municipal Code Section
20.66.040 Parking Standards for Residential Districts requires a minimum two parking
spaces for each dwelling unit, plus 0.5 space for guest parking spaces per unit. The
project is designed to provide a total of 2.62 parking spaces per unit, thereby exceeding
the 2.5 s acelunk requirement. The project would provide a total of 63 parking spaces,
with 48 dedicated residential spaces in garages and carports and 15 open guest spaces
The existing 54 -unit apartment complex currently provides a 1.85 spaces per unit (100
spaces total) consisting of 26 in carports, 29 under the building, and 45 open.. The City
does not require the parking spaces to be calculated based on the number of
bedrooms.
C -72. The proposed project provides more parking spaces than required by the City and
project- related paring is not anticipated to overflow into the public parking lot on
Seashore Drive.
C -73. This comment expresses a personal opinion and is speculative. The commentors
concerns and opposition to the project are noted and will be forwarded to decision -
makers.
Noise
C -74. Based on industry- accepted methodology for the calculation of project - related vehicle
trips, the proposed project would result in a net reduction of trips as compared to
existing uses. Project- related vehicles during the operational phase would consist of
light -duty automobiles and trucks as well as motorcycles. Because the project is a
residential development, no 18- wheeler trucks are anticipated to access the site. Noise
generated from large equipment and power tools are regulated through the City's
municipal code limits established through Chapter 10.26.
C -75. Noise associated with property maintenance is governed under municipal code section
10.28.045. The City allows for the creation of noise associated with property
maintenance but limits occurrence based on the aforementioned municipal code
section. Due to the short duration of noise generated by property maintenance activities
as well as the restrictions on the time of occurrence to the least noise - sensitive portions
of the day, noise associated with property maintenance is not considered to result in a
significant noise impact.

C-76. Noise associated with trash trucks is regulated relative to time of occurrence. The City
does not consider noise from trash trucks to result in a significant noise impact due to
the brevity and infrequency of occurrence.
C -77. Noise associated with the operation of the project is regulated through the Citys
ni
Mucipal Codes. These Codes include Chapter 10.26 - Community Noise Control, and
Chapter 10.28.010 - Loud and Unreasonable Noise. Project occupants and landscapers
are required to comply with these Municipal Code limits. Compliance with these
Municipal Code limits would minimize noise generated by the proposed Project to level
is considered acceptable by the City and consequently would not result in a significant
noise impact.
C -78. Noise associated with balcony use is also subject to the municipal code limits for noise.
Consequently, noise associated with the operation of the proposed project would not
result in a significant noise impact.
C -79. Noise and vibration associated with conmina..tion activity is unavoidable. The City has
allowed the creation of noise and vibration from construction activity but restricted the
hours of occurrence to the least noise - sensitive portions of the day, as specified under
municipal code section 10.26.035. Construction- related noise and vibration will
intermittently occur through the day until the project is completed. Subsequent to project
buildout, construction noise and vibration will cease. CEQA requires an analysis of
physical environmental impacts only and does not require provision of financial
mitigations.
C -80. The assertion that noise levels were assessed for only a single piece of equipment is
incorrect. Construction related noise was evaluated by construction phase and included
typical equipment used for each construction phase. Construction of the proposed
project would involve standard construction techniques and equipment. The statement
that no alternative methods of construction or recommended is not accurate To
minimize vibration generated from jackhammering in close proximity to the existing
residential uses, concrete saws would be employed during demolition of the existing
pavement on the project site.
The City of Newport Beach does not use Noise Abatement Criteria (NAC) for the
assessment of noise impacts under CEQA. The assessment of noise impacts from the
proposed project were based on the Municipal Code limits and industry standards.
C -81. The noise analysis also required an evaluation of site suitability for the proposed noise -
sensitive residential use. Consequently, compatibility for the proposed residential use
relative to noise from aircraft and PCH was assessed.
Population and Housing
C -82. The Initial Study states that the proposed project would result in displacement of
approximately 122 residents based on average household size of 2.25. Also as
documented in the Initial Study, the City currently has a rental vacancy rate of 7.7
percent. The Initial Study analysis concludes that, based on available rental units at
comparable rates, the City's commitment to providing affordable housing units in the
City, and project compliance with the Government Code Section 65590 and 65590.1,
impacts related to displacement of residents would be less than significant.
Based on an income survey performed in June 2007 by the Las Brisas property
manager, 6 of the 54 apartment units are occupied by persons of lower or moderate
income. Therefore, to compensate for the loss of affordable housing, the applicant will
be required to replace those 6 units at an off -site location within the City for a minimum
period of 30 years. The applicant has agreed to commit $1.35 million to subsidize the
rents and /or purchase price of off -site replacement housing. The net cost to subside 6
replacement units is estimated at $962,134, based on the City's Draft Technical

Memorandum dated October 11, 2007, prepared by Economic and Planning Systems
for the calculation of the City's affordable housing in -lieu fee.
C-83. Per draft Condition of Approval No. 17, all landscape materials and landscaped areas
are required to be installed and maintained in accordance with the approved landscape
plan. All landscaped areas are required to be maintained in a healthy and growing
condition and shall receive regular pruning, fertilizing, mowing, and trimming. Please see
Figure 7, Landscape Plan. Therefore, adequate landscaping will be provided.
The proposed project has been designed to be compatible with the development pattern
and character of the surrounding neighborhood, which generally consists of two- and
three -story, single -unit and two-unit dwelling. Each unit would feature either a Craftsman
or Plantation architectural style. Architectural details and enhancements (i.e., batt and
board wood siding, louvered window shutters, decorative trim, and stone veneer) would
be provided on all building elevations. The 2"" floor facades would be setback from the
1" floor on the rear elevations and cantilevered over the 1" floor on the front elevations,
providing articulation and modulation to the building mass. The 3r° floor of each building
would be set back from the front and rear elevations, towards the interior portion of each
building. envelope, to reduce the visual mass of the structures as viewed from the streets.
In addition, draft Condition of Approval No. 7 states that, "The two structures that
encroach into the side yard setback area immediately adjacent to the east property line
shall be modified in height to conform to the 24 -foot base height limit."
The proposed project is designed to appear as if the units were situated on individual
30 -foot -wide lots with setbacks comparable to surrounding R -1 and R -2 lots. Using the
R -1 and R -2 development standards as a guide for determining acceptable setbacks and
building separation would not intensify the difference in height or style of the
surrounding development. Under R -1 and R -2, the project site potentially allows 26 units
due to loss of guest parking requirement. The project site is designated as Multiple -Unit
Residential (RM) with a maximum development limit of 51 dwelling units.
Public Services and Recreation
C -84. The Initial Study has studied the impact of the land use change from multifamily
residential to single and duplex residential units. Development density on -site would
decrease as result of the proposed project and subsequently, public services demand
would also be reduced. Furthermore, a homeowner's association and associated
CC &Rs would be formulated.
C -85. The proposed project provides adequate parking per the City code. Construction of a
continuous block wall to discourage residents to use the meter parking would not be
necessary. In addition, the Applicant is required (draft Condition of Approval No. 46) to
provide pedestrian walkways from River Avenue to Seashore Drive. Restricting access
from Seashore Drive to the project site would also limit the public access to the
pedestrian walkway. Please refer to Response C -52 with respect to potential City
purchase of site for park expansion.
Transportation and Traffic
C-86. The said provision guards against piecemealing a project on the same parcel or parcels
of property and does not apply to the proposed project. The proposed project alone is
anticipated to generate approximately 185 trips, not considering the net reduction in trip
from the existing use.
C-87. Using ITE Trip Generation Manual for trip generation rates is required per the City's
Traffic Phasing Ordinance and is widely accepted industry standard. Although there is a
wide variation in trip generation rates, the rates used for the project are comparable to all
other similar developments in the City and the proposed project does not present
exceptional circumstances whereby the use of specialized trip rates would be necessary.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
FOR THE SEASHORE VILLAGE PROJECT, NEWPORT BEACH, ORANGE COUNTY
(SCH #2008021075)
Dear Mr. Nichols:
The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has received your submitted
Initial Study QS) and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ND) for the above - mentioned
project. The following project description is stated In your document: 'Development
and operation of 12 single - family detached units and 6 duplex units, for a total of 24
units, on a 1.49 -acre site. Access to the project site would be provided by two driveways
on River Avenue and a driveway from Neptune Avenue. The western driveway on River
Avenue would exclusively serve one single - family unit, and all other access would be
provided through River Avenue and Neptune Avenue. The existing 54 -unit apartment
complex would be demolished:' DTSC has the following comments: please address if
applicable.
1) The ND should identify the current or historic uses at the project site that may
have resulted in a release of hazardous wastes/substances, and any known or
potentially contaminated sites within the proposed Project area. For all identified
sites, the NO should evaluate whether conditions at the site may pose a threat to
human health or the environment. Following are the databases of some of the
pertinent regulatory agencies:
National Priorities List (NPL): A list maintained by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.EPA).
Envirostor: A Database primarily used by the California Department of Toxic
Substances Control, accessible through DTSC's website (see below).

Used Defense Sites (FUDS).
2) The ND should identify the mechanism to initiate any required investigation
and/or remediation for any site that may be contaminated, and the government
agency to provide appropriate regulatory oversight. If necessary, DTSC would
require an oversight agreement in order to review such documents. Please see
comment No. 14 below for more information.
3) All environmental investigations, sampling and/or remediation for the site should
be conducted under a Workplan approved and overseen by a regulatory agency
that has jurisdiction to oversee hazardous substance cleanup. The flndings'of
any investigations, including any Phase I or II Environmental Site Assessment
Investigations should be summarized in the document. All sampling results in
which hazardous substances were found should be dearly summarized in a
table.
4) Proper investigation, sampling and remedial actions overseen by the respective
regulatory agencies, if necessary, should be conducted at the site prior to the
new development or any construction. All closure; certification or remediation
approval reports by these agencies should be included In the ND.

5) If any property adjacent to the project site is contaminated with hazardous
chemicals, and if the proposed project is within 2,000 feet from a contaminated
site, then the proposed development may fall within the "Border Zone of a
Contaminated Property." Appropriate precautions should be taken prior to
construction if the proposed project is within a Border Zone Property.
6) If buildings or other structures, asphalt or concrete -paved surface areas are
being planned to be demolished, an investigation should be conducted for the
presence of other related hazardous chemicals, lead -based paints or products,
mercury, and asbestos containing materials (AGMs). If other hazardous
chemicals, lead -based paints or products, mercury or ACMs are identified,
proper precautions should be taken during demolition activities. Additionally, the
contaminants should be remediated in compliance with California environmental
regulations and policies.
7) Project construction may require soil excavation or filling in certain areas.
Sampling may be required. If soil is contaminated, it must be properly disposed
and not simply placed in another location onsite. Land Disposal Restrictions
(LDRs) may be applicable to such soils. Also, if the project proposes to import
soil to backfilt the areas excavated, sampling should be conducted to ensure that
the imported soil Is free of contamination.
8) Human health and the environment of sensitive receptors should be protected
during the construction or demolition activities. If it is found necessary, a study of
the site and a health risk assessment overseen and approved by the appropriate
government agency and a qualified health risk assessor should be conducted to
determine if there are, have been, or will be, any releases of hazardous materials
that may pose a risk to human health or the environment.
9) If it is determined that hazardous wastes are, or will be, generated by the
proposed operations, the wastes must be managed in accordance with the
California Hazardous Waste Control Law (California Health and Safety Code,
Division 20, Chapter 6.5) and the Hazardous Waste Control Regulations
(California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 4.5). If it is determined that
hazardous wastes will be generated, the facility should also obtain a United
States Environmental Protection Agency Identification Number by contacting
(800)618 -6942.

10) Certain hazardous waste treatment processes or hazardous materials, handling,
storage or uses may require authorization from the local Certified Unified
Program Agency (CUPA). Information about the requirement for authorization
can be obtained by contacting your local CUPA.
11) If the project plans include discharging wastewater to a storm drain, you may be
required to obtain an NPDES permit from the overseeing Regional Water Quality
Control Board (RWQCB).
12) If during construction /demolition of the project, the soil and /or groundwater
contamination is suspected, construction/demolition in the area should cease
and appropriate health and safety procedures should be implemented.
13) If the site was used for agricultural, livestock or related activities, onsite soils and
groundwater might contain pesticides, agricultural chemical, organic waste or
other related residue. Proper Investigation, and remedial actions, if necessary,
should be conducted under the oversight of and approved by a government
agency at the site prior to construction of the project.
14) EnviroStor is a database primarily used by the California Department of Toxic
Substances Control, and is accessible through DTSC's website. DTSC can
provide guidance for cleanup oversight through an Environmental Oversight
Agreement (EOA) for government agencies, or a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement
(VCA) for private parties. For additional information on the EOA or VCA, please
see www. dtsc .ca.gov /SiteCleanupBrownfields, or contact Maryam Tasnif-
Abbasi, DTSC's Voluntary Cleanup Coordinator, at (714) 484 -5489.

E -1 As contained in Appendix D of the Initial Study, Shaw Environmental, Inc.,
conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in January 2008 to evaluate
environmental conditions on the project and in the surrounding area. The Phase 1
included a site inspection, review of federal and state environmental records, review
of historic uses. No adverse environmental conditions requiring regulatory action or
further Investigation were identified by the Phase I other than potential for asbestos
containing materials (ACMs) and lead -base paint (LBP ). There are existing
regulations in place to remediate hazards from these materials (page 68 of the Initial
Study). The listed comments are not applicable to the proposed project. No further
response is necessary.

The Planning Center has prepared a written response to Ms. Lennie DeCards comment letter #2
concerning noise issues contained in the Initial Study /Mitigated. Negative Declaration for Seashore
Village. Below shows excerpts from Ms. DeCards comment letter #2 in italics followed by our response in
bold.
"MND inadequately analyzes noise levels and implies reductions of d8A levels without
substantiating or analyzing the impacts. "HVAC systems are proposed for all units within the
project site. Therefore, standard building construction would achieve the interior noise
requirements for new building construction in the state of California." New construction requires
interior noise of 45 d8A (MND p. 84). MND claims noise is reduced by 24dBA if all windows and
doors are closed. Exterior noise level is, 59 — 24= 35dBA. (provided that all windows and doors
are shut). This is a faulty assumption since plans do not show any placement or inclusion of air
conditioning units. Homes in this area typically do not include air conditioning due to the proximity
to the beach. The faulty assumption is that the windows will be closed because they will use air
conditioners. Yet HVAC units contribute to d8A level increases for both interior and exterior
These results have not been addressed at all in the MND. There are vast differences in the d8A
levels that HVAC units create.
MND, (p 84) states that if windows are open, d8A levels are only reduced by 12. This would
make interior noise level of new units beyond acceptable. Project area that includes direct line of
sight to the highway, including the second and third story building facades facing the highway,
have reported exterior noise levels of 67.3 d8A CNEL per the NMD. This would be far beyond
noise requirements with 55.3 d8A if windows were open. MND claim that it would comply if
windows were shut, fails to address the increase from the HVAC unit noise itself. The MND
ignores the obvious, there is no HVAC unit on the market that can deliver at 1.7dBA or less. This
is the number that would be necessary for noise compliance. MND wants to assert that windows
will be kept shut in order to comply with noise requirements and states HVAC units are planned."
The State of California's noise insulation standards are codified in the California Code of
Regulations, Title 24, Building Standards Administrative Code, Part 2, California Building Code.
These noise standards are applied for new construction in California for the purpose of interior

noise compatibility from exterior noise sources. New residential buildings must be constructed to
meet the acceptable interior noise limit of 45 dBA CNEL.
All residential proposed residential buildings would be constructed with heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Based on the Society of Automotive Engineers 1971 publication,
standard exterior -to- interior noise attenuation provided by standard building construction in
warm- weather climates is 24 dBA with windows closed. New HVAC systems would be required to
be chosen and installed to meet the existing building requirements accordance with Title 24 of the
California Building Code. Noise from HVAC units would not significantly elevate noise levels at
second and third story windows. The commenter is incorrect in their statement about increase in
noise levels from HVAC units. Noise is logarithmically additive, meaning that noise from two
sources. generating equivalent noise levels will only increase noise levels by 3 dBA.
Consequently, to achieve interior noise levels of 45 dBA CNEL with standard building
construction, exterior noise levels would have to exceed 69 dBA CNEL. To achieve these noise
levels, the HVAC would have to be designed to have noise levels of 64 dBA or less at the second
and third story windows. However, air conditioning units typically achieve noise levels
significantly lowerthan this. In the City of Newport Beach, HVAC systems are required to comply
with Chapter 10.26.025 of the Municipal Code which limits noise from air conditioning units to no
more than 50 dBA L252. Compliance with this existing regulation ensures that new structures
would achieve interior noise levels that are compatible for residential uses. Furthermore, new
single - family residential uses would replace the existing multi family residential uses onsite, and
therefore new uses would be no more or less compatible with the existing noise environment.
Additionally, the placement and running of air conditioning units would add to the exterior noise
levels for the surrounding neighbors and there is inadequate information as to the size, location,
and motodfan specs. MND gave inadequate information in analyzing HVAC impacts. Newport
Beach has interior noise levels of 40 dBA in the evening from 10 p.m to 7a.m.. Windows would be
open during this time in the summer, while the new project would have them shut using the
HVAC."
For noise produced from HVAC units at the project site, the more stringent noise standard is the
City of Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 10.26.025, which requires that noise at the
residential property line from an HVAC unit not exceed 50 dBA 1-25. Because interior noise levels
would be attenuated by a minimum of 12 dBA with windows open, interior noise levels would
never exceed 38 dBA 1-25.
3. °MND inadequate analysis of noise impacts is evident. There are no plans depicting location of
HVAC units, nor any analysis to exterior noise levels. Each condenser unit needs to reflect
location, cooling capacity relating to tons, effect of all 24 units running concurrently and the effect
to the surrounding neighbors. Interior and exterior noise levels for both project and surrounding
neighbors will not meet ordinance level."
Compliance with the City's noise ordinance is mandatory. Installation of HVAC systems would be
required by the City to be installed to reduce noise at adjacent properties either through site
design or through use of enclosuresimufflers designed for HVAC units.
"(p. 7 city noise element) Various Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) installations
and occasional pool and spa pumps can be noise intrusions. Noise intrusions from HVAC
equipment has been a problem in the past, especially in areas such as Balboa Island, Lido Island,
Manufacturers are required to limit the noise level of the air conditioners they produce. A maximum ARI
(Air conditioning and Refrigeration Institute) Standard sound rating of 8.0 bels applies to air conditioning
devices built during 1991, and 7.6 bels applies to air conditioning devices built after January 1, 1992.
When an air conditioning unit is installed, it is required to comply with both the sound level limit in dBA
and the manufacturers sound emission rating in bels.
L25: noise levels can not exceed 50 dBA for more than 15 minutes in an hour.

and the Peninsula where the homes are very close together, and in commercial areas as well
when abutting residential areas. However, the City's Municipal Code now requires a permit before
installation of new HVAC equipment. Permits are only granted when a sound rating of the
proposed equipment does not exceed standards, or is installed with a timing device that will
deactivate the equipment during the hours of 10:00 P.M. to 7.'00 A.M. if the standards are
exceeded.
Just because HVAC equipment sound ratings are reviewed during plan check, as well as tested
in the field after installation, it can still be problematic over time. As equipment ages and
sometimes suffers from lack of maintenance, noise from the equipment can increase. Because of
this, the City still deals with HVAC equipment noise on a complaint basis, in order insure ongoing
compliance with the standards of the Code."
Compliance with the City's noise ordinance is mandatory. The commenter references older HVAC
units. Older units constructed prior to 1991 were constructed to lower noise standards. Newer
equipment is constructed to newer Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) standards.
Long -term maintenance of HVAC is in the purview of the property owners and must continue to
achieve the noise standards of the City's Municipal Code.

Response to Comments
The following provides all written comments received on the Initial Study prepared for the Seashore
' Village project and the City's responses to each comment. The project site is located at 5515 River
Avenue in the City of Newport Beach, Orange County, California. The project site is generally bordered
by River Avenue to the north, Seashore Drive to the south residential units, including vacation rentals, to
the east, and a City -owned park to the west.
' The Mitigated Negative Declaration /Initial Study (MND /IS) was forwarded to the State Clearing House on
February 19, 2008 for distribution to responsible and trustee agencies for a 30 -day review period and the
notice was posted on -site in the area where the project is to be located and also mailed to the owners
' and occupants of contiguous property. The posted and mailed notices indicated that the 30 -day review
period would begin on February 20, 2008 and end on March 20, 2008; however, because the site was
posted on February 20, 2008, it was determined by the City Attorney's Office that the public comment
period began the following day, February 21, 2008 with the public comment period concluding on March
' 21, 2008. The project was continued from the March 20, 2008 Planning Commission hearing to allow for
the full public comment period.

mapact aria will negatively altect all surrounding properties, losing the feel and look of open Cont'd
space that the reduced footprint the apartment had on'the property. The omission of this
modification permit on page 39 is a significant impact that the, lack of analysis of which, is
legally inadequate.
Applicant appears to want,tbe best:-of both types cf zoning They would like to not only
have the building height - currently 28' for MFR, but don't want: the setback restrictions that.
comes with this zoning: More troubling is that they appearaz obe trying to have it both ways.
They:are ooking;tn.go even further on both height and setback through the modification
requests: These are discretionary appidvals, the city should follow'the vision that these
restrictions sought to,p6),tect and disalidw the modification perndg. lftl ese beighh reltriilio4r,
modifications are approved'it will create a domino effectof otherresidences requesting the'.same.

Some sober houses in other states, reacting to bad publicity or proposed regulation: have
banded.together to impase:gualtiystandards on themselves. Caliiftnia has twa.such
groups:: the,Sober Living Network, based in Santa Monica, and the sratewtde�iaeitefornia
Association ofAddtca'on Recovery Resources (CAARR) in Sacramento.
The Banner asked the directors ofboth organiTnaor[ci and D'ouglgs Poking a notional
expert on sober houses, about the concerns'.cited about SafeBove. Though they
disagreed: an some points, all three characterized mm gfrhose c."diicerns as worrisohe .
and inconsistent witho well - managed sober house.

Response to Comments from Lennie DeCaro, Property Owner of 5406 & 5408 Neptune
Avenue, Newport Beach, California, Dated March 13, 2008.
C -1. This comment contends that the proposed project will have numerous significant
adverse impacts in the areas of public access to the beach, displacement of low income
housing, traffic, privacy, sunlight, noise, parking, air quality, noise, loss of rents, etc. The
issue of performance bond is also mentioned. The comment summarizes those topics
that are to be discussed in the rest of the letter with no specific comments. Please refer
to appropriate response in the following section.
C -2. The comment suggests that inadequate noticing was provided. Pursuant to Section
Sections 15105 (c) & 15073 (b) of the CEQA Guidelines, the Mitigated Negative
Declaration /Initial Study (MND /IS) was forwarded to the State Clearing House on
February 19, 2008 for distribution to responsible and trustee agencies for a 30-day
review period. Pursuant to Section 15072(b) and 15105, the notice was posted on -site in
the area where the project is to be located and also mailed to the owners and occupants
of contiguous property. The posted and mailed notices indicated that the 30 -day review
period would begin on February 20, 2008 and end on March 20, 2008; however,
because the site was posted on February 20, 2008, it was determined by the City
Attorneys Office that the public comment period began the following day, February 21,
2008 with the public comment period concluding on March 21, 2008. The project was
continued from the March 20, 2008 Planning Commission hearing to allow for the full
public comment period. Therefore, adequate noticing has been provided and no further
response is necessary.
C -3. The commenter contends that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be prepared
for the project because there is substantial adequate evidence to support a fair
argument that the project will have significant adverse impacts. The commenter also
concludes that the Initial Study fails to clearly describe or offer mitigation for potential
significant impacts. As detailed in responses to this comment letter, the Initial Study
prepared for the project, does substantiate that project - related impacts will be less than
significant or will be reduced to a less than significant level upon implementation of the
recommended mitigation measures. There are no conditions which require the
preparation of an EIR for this project. Comments regarding applicant indemnification of
the City are not within the purview of the environmental review for this project.
C-4. The comment claims that the proposed project would result in a cumulatively significant
impact due to the intense amount of traffic, noise, and air pollution generated on
Neptune Avenue. The comment inaccurately describes Neptune Avenue as a cul -de -sac.
Neptune is not a cul-de -sac because there is not an adequate turning radius for vehicles
and does not comply with City's Standards STD -102 -L and STD -103 -L (cul -de -sac
standards) to safely turn around. In addition, as shown in Table 17, Project - Generated
Traffic, of the Initial Study, the proposed project would result in a net decrease in traffic
volumes by 178 average daily trips. Although the proposed project would create a new
connection from Neptune Avenue to River Avenue, River Avenue terminates at the
project site and a new vehicle access to Seashore Drive or any other streets for
convenient beach access would not be created. The project she would be clearly
marked and appear as a private property to discourage public from entering and using
the driveway as a pass -thru. All visitor parking would also be clearly marked as residents
only. Since this new access would only connect River Avenue and Neptune Avenue,
where River Avenue terminates at the site, any changes to the circulation pattern in the
area would be minimal, including beach traffic. The comment that the proposed project
would force over one hundred cars from the development is inaccurate.
C -5. The comment asserts that project's significant impact must be adequately addressed
and mitigation measures should be identified. It also asserts that the Initial Study should
compare the project impacts to feasible alternatives. The Initial Study was prepared in
compliance with the appropriate section of the CEQA Guidelines, and concludes that
potential project- related impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level. CEQA

does require evaluation of project alternatives for projects for which all impacts can be
mitigated to less than significant and Mitigated Negative Declarations can be processed.
Aesthetic Impacts
C -6. The comment asserts that any substantial, negative effect of a project on view and other
features of beauty could constitute a significant environmental impact under CEQA and
that lay opinions that articulate the basis of the opinion can constitute substantial
evidence of a negative aesthetic impact. The comment also asserts that the proposed
project would result in the obstruction of the ocean views from the living room and
balcony of the property at 5408 Neptune Avenue. The commentor further indicates that
the view would be greater with rooftop decking. However, there is no rooftop decking.
The existing apartment building has a side setback of approximately 60 feet near the
River Avenue site boundary and narrows toward Seashore Drive by approximately 15
feet. The property at 5408 Neptune Avenue currently has an ocean view from the second
floor living room and the patio via the open - parking area of the existing apartment
complex and the approximately 30- foot -wide open area between the three -story
buildings on 55th Street (see Figure 1, View Corridor Analysis).
Figures 1 and 2, View Corridor Analysis and Photo of View Corridor, respectively, show
the view corridor from 5408 Neptune Avenue. As proposed, a modification permit is
being requested by the project applicant to reduce the minimum building- separation
distance required by the MFR Zoning District from 10 feet to 6 feet, to reduce the
minimum front - setback distances along Seashore Drive and River Avenue from 20 feet to
a minimum of 10 feet, and to reduce the minimum side setbacks from 25 feet (which is
based on the lot width) to a minimum of 4 feet.
As shown in Figure 1, a structure that conformed to the specified 25 -foot side setback
(along eastern property boundary) as required per the zoning code in the MFR Zoning
District would obstruct the current view corridor of 5408 Neptune Avenue. This would
impose a negative visual impact to the existing residence, as f would obstruct the
existing private view afforded to it. Although the City does not have private -view
protection policies or regulations, when a deviation is requested from what is normally
permitted by the Zoning Code, it is reasonable to take into consideration the resulting
private view impacts the deviation creates. However, the proposed 4 -foot side setback
along the eastern project boundary would not negatively impact the private view to the
existing residence anymore than a conforming project would. Additionally, as shown on
Figure 1, a structure which conformed to the specified 20 -foot street setback along
Seashore Drive as required per the zoning code would obstruct the current view corridor
of 5408 Neptune Avenue. Similar to the reasoning provided above, the proposed 10 -foot
front setback along Seashore Drive would not negatively impact the private view to the
existing residence anymore than a conforming project would.
The City's General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan focus on the protection of public
views. As stated in the Initial Study, Policy 4.4.2 -2 of the Coastal Land Use Plan states,
"preserve public views through the height, setback, floor area, lot coverage, and building
bulk regulation of the Zoning Code in effect as of October 13, 2005 that limit the building
profile and maximize public view opportunities" (emphasis added). Additionally,
pursuant to General Plan Policies NR 20.1 to NR20.4 and Coastal Land Use Plan Policy
4.4.1 -6, the emphasis is on the protection of public views. Since the reduced setbacks
would not negatively impact the private view to the existing residence anymore than a
conforming project would impact the view, and because the project would not obstruct
public views, the proposed project would not result in a significant view impact.
The commentor is also concerned over the degradation of property values. CEQA does
not require an MND to address economic impacts associated with a proposed project,
which by themselves do not cause or contribute to physical impacts on the environment.
Specfficaily, the CEQA Guidelines state that "Economic or social information may be
included in an EIR or may be presented in whatever form the agency desires" (emphasis
Page 1 -48 •The Planning Center April 2008

1. Response to Comments
added, CEQA Guidelines, Section 15131). Further, the Guidelines state that the
"Economic and social effects of a project shall not be treated as significant effects on the
environment' (Section 15131 [a]). The intent of CEQA is to evaluate and mitigate physical
impacts on the environment. In conclusion, the comment regarding project impacts on
property values is acknowledged. This issue, however, is not within the purview of the
environmental review of the project per CEQA, and therefore, this comment will be
forwarded to the appropriate decision - makers for their review and evaluation.
C -7. CEQA requires analysis of project - related impacts in comparison to existing conditions.
Sunset View Park is approximately 0.5 mile east of the project site and existing
intervening multi -story residential development precludes ocean views in the direction of
the project site. Development of the proposed project will not alter potential views from
Sunset Park.
C -8. The commenter correctly notes the findings that must be made to approve the requested
Modification Permit. These findings must be made by the decision -makers (City Planning
Commissioners). In the application for the permit, the applicant has concluded that
development of the same type of building that currently exists on the project site would
not be compatible with the changing character of the area and would not result in a
marketable residential product. The proposed development, 24 single - family homes and
duplexes situated on individual pads, are designed to represent individual homes similar
to development in surrounding R -1 and R -2 zoned areas. Although the MFR codes allow
the proposed use, strict application of this zoning designation would preclude this type
of development because of the required large setbacks. Ultimately the City's decision -
makers are charged with making the finding that the proposed project would be
consistent with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code
C-9. As noted in the previous response, the required finding referenced in this comment
would need to be made by the City's decision - makers. The Modification Permit
application concludes that the proposed development is "highly compatible with the
existing neighborhood and the general West Newport area" and that the proposed
homes and duplexes would be "similar in size, proportion and separation to the
buildings along Seashore Drive and River Avenue." The project has been designed to
appear as if each unit is situated on a 30 -foot wide lot, and the side setbacks provided
are consistent and compatible with the required 3 -foot side yard setbacks of the
surrounding 30- and 40 -foot -wide lots in the neighborhood. The City's decision -makers
will consider the application and the specifics modifications requested and determine
whether they agree with this finding.
C -10. Based on the analysis in the Initial Study, the proposed project would not adversely
affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood or
detrimental to property or improvements in the neighborhood. As stated in response to
Comment C -9, the project has been designed to include setbacks comparable to the
setback requirements of the surrounding R -1 and R -2 lots and similar setback and
distancing requirements are common throughout the City and have not proven
detrimental. This finding, however, is a specific finding that will be required by the City's
decision -makers with respect to the requesting zoning requirement modifications to
approve the proposed project. Additionally, as concluded in response to Comment C-6,
the proposed project would not obstruct or prevent public views of the ocean.
C -11. As shown in Figure 3, Surrounding Area Photographs, existing residential units along the
ocean side of Seashore Drive include three -story buildings and three-story buildings also
exist on the north side of Seashore Drive, River Avenue, and Neptune Avenue. Under the
R -1 and R -2 districts, a 24 -foot base height limit with an additional 5 feet in height to the
ridge is permitted and 3 -story structures are commonly designed and constructed.
The site is in the 28132 -foot height - limitation zone that permits buildings and structures to
exceed the 28 -foot height limit up to a maximum of 32 feet through the approval of a use
permit. Ridges of pitched roofs are permitted to exceed the height limit by 5 additional
feet. The six duplex units that are proposed to exceed the 28 -foot base height limit have
S"bore pillage Respomre to Comments City of Newporl Beach • Page 1 -49
(3V
1. Response to Comments
been designed with low- pitched gable roof lines, resulting in a maximum midpoint
elevation of 28 feet 10 inches (10 inches over the maximum limit) and a maximum ridge
elevation of 31 feet 4 inches (I400t 8- inches under the maximum ridge limit)..
C -12. The commenter's objection to modifying the MFR required setbacks for the project are
noted and will be forwarded to decision - makers. The sideyard setback reduction would
place the proposed residential units in close proximity to the existing units along the
eastern boundary. However, as discussed in response to Comment C-6, the proposed
project is designed to appear as if the units were situated on individual 30 -foot -wide lots
and setbacks comparable to surrounding R -1 and R -2 lots. Using the R -1 and R -2
development standards as a guide for determining acceptable setbacks and building
separation, the proposed setbacks would not intensify the difference in height or style of
the surrounding development Additionally, the duplex proposed closest to the 5408
Neptune Avenue property maintains a minimum setback of 7 1/2 feet and increases to a
setback of 13 feet, providing a significantly increased sideyard setback area than that of
comparable R -1 and R -2 lots with 3 -foot sideyard setbacks.
C -13. The commentor also stated that the MND omitted mentioning the modification permit
component of the reduction of the required 254cot sideyard setback to 34eet. Pursuant
to this comment, the third paragraph provided in question a) on page 39 of Initial Study
has been modified to include all the components of the modification permit as shown in
Section 2, Revisions, of this to Comments. Additionally, for consistency, the second
bullet point provided in Section 1.5, Discretionary Approval, on page 25 has also been
modified as shown in Section 2. However, as concluded in response to Comment C-6,
these modifications would not alter the conclusion of the visual- impact analysis and no
mitigation measures are required as a result of the modification.
C -14. Please refer to response to Comment C -8.
C -15. The proposed project may appear to remove visual open space as commented.
However, the proposed project would provide 675,416 cubic feet, which would exceed
the open space requirements of 247,313 cubic feet as required under the MFR Zoning
District. The proposed open space areas also exceed the existing open space, which is
590,072 cubic feet. Additionally, as stated in the response to Comment C -13, as
developed, the project site consists of minimal landscaping areas, which includes the
landscaped lawn area and trees located around the pool area of the L- shaped apartment
complex. As proposed, the project would provide more landscaping areas
(approximately 18,390 square feet) than currently exists on -site (approximately 9,393
square feet). As such, the project would not result in a significant aesthetic or visual
impacts and no mitigation is required.
C -16. A street that connected River Avenue and Seashore Drive did not exist. The street
referenced in the historic map shown in page 373 of Appendix D that connects River
Avenue to ocean front is actually 54th Street and there was never an access from River
Avenue to Seashore Drive immediately east adjacent to the project site. In addition,
Neptune Avenue is not a cul -de -sac, as it does not provide adequate turning radius
required for a cul-de -sac.
The commenter's suggested revisions to the project are forwarded via this Response to
Comments document to decision -makers for consideration.
C -17. The square footage comparison of the existing apartment to the proposed development
is noted. The MND refers to residential densities based on the number of units per acre.
The project site is currently developed with a 54 -unit apartment_ complex. The proposed
project would reduce the existing density to 24 single - family units, a decrease in 30
units. The reduction in the number of residential units would directly result in a reduction
in traffic generation in comparison to the existing use.
C-18. The lot area for the project site is 1.49 acres (64,904 square feet). The City of Newport
Beach uses floor -area limit, not floor area ratio to evaluate residential development.

Floor Area Limit is calculated based on the net acreage of the site after subtracting the

area.
The current large setbacks do provide visual openness in some angles as commented.
However, as shown in Figure 4, Site Photographs, the existing building has 48,744
square feet of building area under one roofline, which is significantly larger than all other
structures in the area. Additionally, the existing large setbacks for the site are not typical
of the surrounding development. As shown in Figure 3, Surrounding Area Photographs,
and Figures 5a and 5b, Side Setbacks, adjacent buildings in the area have
approximately three- to four -foot side setbacks. Aesthetic impacts are subjective and one
aspect of visual character cannot be the sole basis of finding visual impact as significant.
The proposed project would provide required tenant and guest parking.
The comment regarding "giving" the developer the park is not based on any factual data
and is speculative only. The park will remain as a public park and there would be no
design treatment to suggest that it is a private facility.
'
Air Quality
C -19. Emissions associated with the proposed project have been calculated to respond to the
comment and are shown in Table 1 below. As demonstrated within Table 1, total
emissions from both stationary and mobile sources are a small fraction of the SCAQMD
regional emissions thresholds. These emissions assume that all these emissions are
based on new project - related vehicle trips without subtracting the emissions associated
'
with the existing uses. The comment regarding the footprint of buildings being 19
percent larger than the existing uses would not change the fact that emissions from the
proposed project are still far below the South Coast Air Quality Management District
( SCAQMD) CEQA significance thresholds for all analyzed pollutants.

would still not result in an exceedance of the SCAQMD CEQA significance thresholds
and would consequently not result in a significant air quality impact.
C -21. Please see Response C -16.
C -22. The comment is incorrect in its assertion that asphalt emissions were not accounted for
within the air quality analysis. The air quality analysis did model emissions associated
with paving. Emissions associated with paving equipment and evaporative emissions.
from asphalt were calculated using the URBEMIS2007 model and included within Table
5 of the Initial Study.
C -23. To clarify, the Initial Study stated that there were no thresholds established for
greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions of criteria pollutants were calculated compared to
the SCAQMD significance thresholds and a finding of less than significant air quality
impacts was presented. A finding of less than significant greenhouse gas emissions was
also presented due to the small scale of emissions associated with this project.
The Localized Significance Threshold (LST) analysis followed the protocol established
by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) of using the closest
distance between the air pollutant source and the receptor of 25 meters (82 feet). This
approach is also consistent with the closest distance analyzed of 25 meters for health
risk assessments per Rule 1401. The LST screening approach is also considered by the
SCAQMD to be conservative because it applies worst -case wind direction and speeds.
In addition, the project is under mandatory compliance with Rule 402 and Rule 403
which apply to nuisance and dust emissions from construction activity as they occur.
Lastly, if there is a problem with dust plumes or air pollution, the sensitive residences
proximate to the project site can call the code enforcement division of the SCAQMD to
ensure that excessive emissions resulting from construction activities do not occur.
C-24. There were four references within the air quality section to Appendix A for the modeling
output. There was a typographic error in another reference to Appendix B, which did not
have the air quality modeling. The air quality modeling assumptions had been provided
in Appendix A of the Initial Study. The typographic error in page 57 of the Initial Study
has been revised and is reflected in the Revisions to the Initial Study Section.
C -25. Demolition activities that involve Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) are required to
comply with SCAQMD Rule 1403. Mandatory compliance with this rule will result in less
than significant air quality impacts related to ACM.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency, in June 18, 2003, established a
lead paint rule, which allows landfills to accept residential lead -based paint waste at
municipal landfills. This Rule was enacted to accelerate the removal of lead based paint
from residences so that people, especially children, would not be exposed to ingested
lead. The existing structures may or may not contain lead -based paint. Demolition of
structures that may potentially contain lead paints is beneficial to the environment
because it removes a substance that can cause central nervous system disorders.
Unlike asbestos, lead is only a concern when ingested. Demolition of the existing
structures would remove the potential for oral ingestion of lead paints. Demolition debris
would be loaded and removed from the project site to be disposed of at a local landfill.
Greenhouse gas emissions were quantified per recommendations of the SCAQMD,
which currently does not have an established threshold for evaluating greenhouse gas
emissions. The SCAQMD does have significance thresholds for criteria pollutants to
identify substantial pollutant emitters. As shown in Table 1, the project emissions are far
below the significance thresholds established for criteria polutants, due to the minimal
amount of development associated with the proposed project. The rationale that the
SCAQMD significance thresholds are an indicator of whether the project results in
substantial quantities of the emissions was also applied for greenhouse gases. Because
the proposed project would not result in an exceedance of the SCAQMD significance
thresholds for criteria pollutants, it was surmised that the project would likewise not

' C -29. A health risk analysis is only necessary for projects that have prolonged usage of diesel -
fueled vehicles. Diesel exhaust is the primary cause of respiratory cancer risk in the
South Coast Air Basin. The SCAQMD does not require nor recommend a health risk
analysis for construction activities of such a short duration as necessary for the
' proposed project. Health risk analyses are conducted for diesel exhaust exposure over a
lifetime (70 years). Consequently, a health risk analysis for construction activities of such
a short duration would not result in a significant health risk impact. Diesel- fueled vehicles
would be used intermittently at the project site during construction and would not
constitute a major source of diesel exhaust exposure. The operational phase of the
project would not result in a daily use of diesel vehicles. Consequently, no health risk
analysis is warranted for the proposed project.
C -30. The analysis of lead emissions generated from the proposed project is not required nor
recommended by the SCAQMD. The South Coast Air Basin has been in a state of
attainment for lead for at least two decades. With the banning of lead -based paints and
lead in gasoline, lead emissions are only of concern from stationery industrial sources
' whose processes involve lead emissions. Consequently, the air quality analysis of
project related emissions does not need to evaluate lead.

Seashore
The commentor's assertion that PM,, was not evaluated is incorrect. It was evaluated
within the Initial Study and found to result in less than significant air quality impacts.
C -31. This comment pertains to the commenter's confusion of the interpretability of the air
quality appendix of a different project and, as such, does not relate to the proposed
project. It is not the responsibility of the CEQA analysis for the proposed project to clarity
confusion on another project. If the commenter is implying that the appendix is
confusing for both the proposed project as well as the Newport Beach DEIR, this is
standardized output that the SCAQMD had developed for the URBEMIS model.
Response to Comments City of Newport Beacb • Page 1 -53
result in substantial amounts of greenhouse gases. This project is minimal in scale
'
relative to other development projects. Based on the SCAQMD significance thresholds, it
is not the intent of the SCAQMD to identify projects with such a small scale as
substantial pollutant emitters. Consequently, tt is unlikely that the SCAQMD or any other
regulatory agency would determine that the greenhouse gas emissions from the project
would result in a significant impact relative to global climate change.
C -26. As discussed previously, Table 1 shows that project related emissions are far below
SCAQMD CEQA significance thresholds even if all of the vehicle trips were considered
'
new and without deducting the existing trips. The finding and significance would not
change and the proposed project would not result in significant air quality impacts.
'
C -27. The evaluation of construction LSTs is based on SCAQMD modeling methodology. The
project is not anticipated to involve mass grading. Trenching emissions are quantified
and shown in the attached appendix. Trenching emissions were found to be less than
that which would occur during the fine grading phase and would not result in an
exceedance of the SCAQMD CEQA significance thresholds for construction activities.
Projects are constructed in phases. The phases used within the air quality analysis were
developed by the SCAQMD. The construction schedule was estimated to follow an 18-
I
month schedule. This duration is not unreasonable for a project of this scale.
The temperature of 60 degrees used in the analysis for winter conditions is a SCAQMD
recommended default. Deviation from this default value would not result in a meaningful
change in air pollutant emissions nor change the finding of significance.
C -28. Project compliance to SCAQMD Rule 403 is mandatory. The commentor's assertion that
it is a mitigation measure is incorrect. A mitigation measure goes beyond regulatory
requirements. Rule 403 is a regulatory requirement of the SCAQMD. Consequently it
does not need to be "called out specifically in the mitigation."
' C -29. A health risk analysis is only necessary for projects that have prolonged usage of diesel -

recommended by the SCAQMD. The South Coast Air Basin has been in a state of
attainment for lead for at least two decades. With the banning of lead -based paints and
lead in gasoline, lead emissions are only of concern from stationery industrial sources
' whose processes involve lead emissions. Consequently, the air quality analysis of
project related emissions does not need to evaluate lead.

The commentor's assertion that PM,, was not evaluated is incorrect. It was evaluated
within the Initial Study and found to result in less than significant air quality impacts.
C -31. This comment pertains to the commenter's confusion of the interpretability of the air
quality appendix of a different project and, as such, does not relate to the proposed
project. It is not the responsibility of the CEQA analysis for the proposed project to clarity
confusion on another project. If the commenter is implying that the appendix is
confusing for both the proposed project as well as the Newport Beach DEIR, this is
standardized output that the SCAQMD had developed for the URBEMIS model.

In regards to the comment that ROGs is not defined, reactive organic gases are those
compounds that have high enough vapor pressures that under normal atmospheric
conditions leads to vaporization. The SCAQMD considers ROGs and VOCs to be
synonymous. ROGs are Reactive Organic Gases and VOCs are Volatile Organic
Compounds.
Biological Resources
C -32. As shown in Figure 6, Aerial Photograph, the project site is a completely developed site
with very limited landscaping. There is no need to conduct a literature review to include
data on biological resources in the project vicinity. A field visit by the staff biologist
indicated that on -site plants are ornamental landscaping materials and are not of any
significant biological importance. As indicated, no potential habitat for special status
species exists on- or off -site and no additional investigation was deemed necessary. Per
your comment, Phil Brylski has been added to the list of preparers.
C -33. The City of Newport Beach does not have any tree ordinance concerning on -site trees.
Council Policies G -1, Retention or Removal of City Trees, is applicable only to City trees
and G -3, Reservation of Views, deals with views lost due to excessive plant growth.
These policies are not applicable to the proposed project. Removal of all on -site
landscaping, including mature palm trees, would not conflict with these City policies.
C -34. As part of the Condition of Approval N. 36, two City trees (Cajeput trees) on Seashore
Drive would be removed to accommodate the sidewalk construction on Seashore Drive.
However, these are not designated as special trees by the City and they would be
removed in compliance with the tree ordinance. Additionally, draft Condition of Approval
No. 37 stipulates that new City - designated street trees will be planted along River
Avenue frontage. All street trees would be planted per City standards and guidelines
provided by the City General Services Department and not further analysis or mitigation
measures are necessary. The Draft Conditions of Approval is contained in Appendix B of
this document.
C -35. Condition of Approval No. 17 states that 'All landscape materials and landscaped areas
shall be installed and maintained in accordance with the approved landscape plan. All
landscaped areas shall be maintained in a healthy and growing condition and shall
receive regular pruning, fertilizing, mowing and trimming. All landscaped areas shall be
kept free of weeds and debris. All irrigation systems shall be kept operable, including
adjustments, replacements, repairs, and cleaning as part of regular maintenance." The
Initial Study states that the existing apartment complex provides approximately 9,393
square feet of landscaping area and the proposed project would provide approximately
20,987 square feet. Figure 7, Landscape Plan, has been provided.
C-36. It is the City's policy to retain City threes categorized as Landmark, Dedicated, or
Neighborhood trees, which have historical significance, and /or contributed to and give
character to a location or to an entire neighborhood. Landmark, Dedicated, and
Neighborhood trees are identified by species by Attachment 1 of Retention or Removal
of City Trees ordinance (Council Policy G -1). The proposed project would require
removal of two city trees on Seashore Drive. These two trees are identified as Cajeput
trees (Melaleuca quinquinervia) and are listed under Attachment 1. The proposed project
would not impact any special trees as defined by the City Code.
Cultural Resources
C -37. As stated, the entire project site is already developed, which means the project site is
underlain by engineered soils that have been disturbed previously. Therefore, although
the project area may be potentially sensitive for cultural resources, the on -site potential
would be minimal. No confirmed artifacts have been reported near the project site. in the
absence of a confirmed artifact, implementation of Mitigation Measures 2 and 3 have
been deemed an appropriate site - specific level of response based on the analysis and
recommendations, as is typical industry practice. Because the lead agency recognized
Page 1 -54 • The Planning Center April2008
1. Response to Comments
' the potential for discovery upon deeper excavation beyond previous development,
Mitigation Measures 2 and 3 have been incorporated to reduce impacts to a less than
significant level.
' C -38. The Native American Heritage Commission has reviewed the Initial Study and has
responded in a standard response letter dated March 5, 2008. The Initial Study
recognizes the potential for discovery of subsurface cultural resources and provided
Mitigation Measures 2 and 3 to reduce impacts to a less than significant level.
' Geology and Soils
C -39. It was a typographical error and it does not alter the conclusion of the analysis. Pursuant
' to your comment, the title page for the geotechnical investigation has been revised. The
text with purple highlighter was not intended to emphasize or delete the text.
C-40. The project description indicates that the project site will be balanced, which indicates
' that there would be no significant import or export of soils. Construction impacts during
the grading phase were addressed in the traffic, noise, and air quality sections of the
Initial Study. Vibration impacts have been addressed in the noise section of the Initial
Study. Please refer to Noise for vibration impacts.
' C-41. As indicated in the Initial Study, the proposed project is required to comply with the
criteria and seismic design parameters of the Uniform Building Code, California Building
Code, and the Structural Engineers Association of California. All grading and foundation
plans are required to be reviewed and approved prior to any site disturbance. There has
been a typographical error in page 65 of the Initial Study. The Geotechnical Investigation
report prepared by EGA Consultants dated June 13, 2007 is included in Appendix C of
1 the Initial Study instead of Appendix B. The typographical error has been revised in
Section 2, Revisions to the Initial Study.
C -42. The project subsurface exploration consisted of the excavation of six exploratory borings
' to a maximum depth of 10 feet below grade. No seepage or surface water ponding was
noted on the project site and groundwater was encountered at depths of approximately
6 to 8 feet below grade. Groundwater was encountered at 4 feet below grade at the River
Avenue sidewalk elevation, which is approximately 2.5 feet below the project site area
elevation. The soils investigation report also acknowledges that the perched
groundwater encountered is subject to tidal fluctuations. Whereas area soil records may
show the water table at 1 foot below surface, the on -site subsurface exploration presents
more accurate description of the site condition. Based on various elements considered
in the geotechnical report, including tidal fluctuation, the report concluded that there are
' no significant geotechnical constraints on -site that cannot be mitigated by proper
planning, design, and sound construction practices. The engineering properties of the
soil and native materials and the surface drainage offer favorable conditions for
construction of the proposed project. All on -site runoffs are required to be contained
' within the site and would not drain to surrounding properties. Pursuant to this comment,
Figure 8, Preliminary Grading Plan, has been included as part of this response.
' Hazardous Materials
C-43. The Initial Study discloses that existing structures on -site are required to be surveyed for
lead -base paint prior to demolition. In June 18, 2003, the United States Environmental
' Protection Agency established a lead paint rule, which allows landfills to accept
residential lead based paint waste at municipal landfills. This Rule was enacted to
accelerate the removal of lead -based paint from residences so that people, especially
children, would not be exposed to ingested lead. The existing structures may or may not
' contain lead -based paint. Demolition of structures that may potentially contain lead
paints is beneficial to the environment, because it removes a substance that can cause
central nervous system disorders. Unlike asbestos, lead paint is only a concern when
ingested. Demolition of the existing structures would remove the potential for oral
' ingestion of lead paints. Demolition debris would be loaded and removed from the

project site for disposed at a local landfill. Therefore, lead -base paint survey and removal
will be administered through the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health as
required. The Initial Study is not deferring possible mitigation.
Hydrology and Water Quality
C -44. Prior to issuance of grading permits, a final Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) will
need to be prepared and approved b the Building Department and Code and Water
Quality Enforcement Division. The WQMP will provide appropriate Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to ensure that no violations of water quality standards or waste
discharge requirements occur. The WQMP included in Appendix E of the Initial Study
would be supplemented and refined to the satisfaction of the Building Department and
Code and Water Quality Enforcement Division. Ongoing property maintenance of
common areas including maintenance of the Best Management Practices (BMPs) as set
forth in the WQMP would be the responsibility of the Homeowners Association (HOA).
An HOA would be established and Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions (CCR's)
adopted that identify the association's common area and responsibilities, explain the
obligation of the association to collect assessment, and the obligation for owners to pay
the assessments. For clarification, the Project Description as been supplemented to
include this information (please see Section 2.2 of this Response to Comments). As
included in Condition of Approval No. 41, all on -site utilities shall be owned, operated,
and maintained by the communitylassociation. Condition of Approval No. 26 also
specified that a list of "good house - keeping" practices will be incorporated into the long-
term post- construction operation of the site to minimize the likelihood that pollutants that
could impair water quality would be used, stored, or spilled on the site. These may
include frequent parking area vacuum truck seeping, removal of wastes or spills, limited
use of harmful fertilizers of pesticides, and the diversion of stormwater away from
potential sources of pollution (e.g., trash receptacles and parking structures). Aiso as
part of this condition of approval, preparation of Stage 2 WQMP is required; this lists and
describes all structural and non - structural BMPs. The Stage 2 WQMP must also identfy
the entity responsible for the long -term inspection, maintenance, and funding for ail
structural (and, if applicable, treatment - control) BMPs.
Draft Condition of Approval No. 23 requires that prior to issuance of grading permits, a
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and Notice of Intent are prepared and submitted
to the State Water Quality Control Board approval and made part of the construction
program. This plan will detail measures and practices that would be in effect in during
construction to minimize the project's impact on water quality. The Initial Study identifies
these required procedures for the proposed project to follow and implement. Detailed
actions for the construction phase that include how demolition debris is disposed of or
stored, covered, and transported would be addressed in the SWPPP. No grading permits
will be issued without the evidence that proper clearances have been obtained through
the State Water Resources Control Board.
C-45. As required under the draft Condition of Approval No. 39, on -site runoff will be retained
on -site prior to entering the underground stormwater drainage system. The open bottom
trench which the commenter is referring to is located within the project site prior to
entering the underground stormwater drainage system. As shown in Figure 9,
Construction Staging and WQCP, the open bottom trench which the commenter is
referring to is located within the project site. The proposed project would not transfer any
maintenance responsibilities to the City.
C-46. Please see Response C-44. Figures 8 and 9 show proposed drainage concept for the
project, including perforated drain trench detail. The geotechnical investigation
conducted on -site borings and determined that ground water table is at 6 to 8 feet below
ground, not at 1 foot. The comment regarding soil class D subject to saturation and poor
drainage is inaccurate. The native soils consists generally of moist, medium dense, non -
cemented, fine- to medium - grained, beach sand, subject to percolation and good
drainage.

Automated irrigation system will ensure that heavy watering of the landscaped area does
not occur. All landscape materials and landscaped areas will be installed and maintained
in accordance with the approved landscape and irrigation plans prepared by a licensed
landscape architect. These plans shall incorporate drought - tolerant plantings and water -
efficient irrigation practices, and the plans shall be approved by the Planning
Department and the General Services Department. All planting areas shall be provided
with a permanent underground automatic sprinkler irrigation system of a design suitable
for the type and arrangement of the plant materials selected. The irrigation system will
be adjustable based on either a signal from a satellite or an on -site moisture - sensor.
Furthermore, as indicated in the WQMP, the proposed BMP's are designed to filter
pollutants naturally back in the ground on -site. The Figure 8, Preliminary Grading Plan,
shows the location of stormwater pipes and details of perforated drain trench and
groutless paver system. The asphalt paving at driveways with areas of groutless paver
systems would allow filtering of first flush runoff from the driveway. In addition, patios
and walks would be constructed with concrete that flows to the 6- to 8 -inch drainage
system equipped with an inline perforated drain trench, which would allow the pollutants
to filter through the gravel bed back into the soil. As discussed, the underlain soils
generally consist of beach sand with high infiltration rate. Additionally, the site will be
graded so that all runoff water is retained and treated on -site and that neighboring
properties are not affected by the proposed development. The combination of paver
system, erosion - resistant plants that absorb water, gravel side yards, and gravel trench
drains will contribute to retain runoff water on -site without flooding the project site or the
surrounding properties.

C-48. The concern regarding rehabilitation facilities is speculative and is also a socio-
economic issue which is beyond the scope of CEQA unless it would result in a physical
impact.
C -49. The proposed project would result in a less dense project with 24 single - family
residences than the current 54 -unit apartment complex.
The 54 -unit apartment complex currently provides a total of 100 parking spaces, 26 in
carports, 29 under the building, and 45 open. This results in a parking ratio of 1.85 per
unit. The proposed project would provide a total of 63 parking spaces, with 48 dedicated
residential spaces in garages and carports and 15 open guest spaces. Therefore, the
proposed project would have a parking ratio of 2.62 per unit. The City does not require
the parking spaces to be calculated based on the number of bedrooms and the
proposed project provides adequate parking per the City guidelines. The City of
Newport Beach Municipal Code 20.66.040 Parking Standards for Residential Districts
requires 2 spaces per unit plus 0.5 guest space for each dwelling unit.
The comment that the proposed project would give the appearance of a private
community park is inaccurate and speculative. The park would remain as a public park
and there would be no design treatment to give it the appearance of a private facility.
C -50. The project site has a lot size of 65,108 square feet, which is 1.49 acres. Pursuant to this
comment, the following text has been revised. This change would not alter the
conclusion of the impact analysis. Page 2 of the Initial Study has been modified as
follows:
The current permitted density at the site is 51 units per acre and the proposed project
would yield 16 units per acre. The project proposes a gross floor area of 57,906 &

The proposed project is a private project which, based on the findings of the Initial
Study, would not result in significant environmental impacts. Consideration of project

PM peak -hour trips. Furthermore, Neptune Avenue is not the only access roadway to the
project site; there is access from and to River Avenue, which may be more convenient
' for some of the future residents. The proposed project would actually result in a net
reduction in traffic by 178 average daily trips. The proposed project has less
development intensity and less project related traffic compared to the existing use and
no mitigation measures are necessary.

C -62. The comment that one of the two driveways on River Avenue for use of just one single -
family unit is unfair and that the proposed project should retain the existing
ingress /egress for the proposed project is not a feasible design alternative and would
impose undue restriction in development of the project site.
The current site plan allows for use of both Neptune Avenue and River Avenue for
access. The internal roadway would be a minimum of 26 feet. Neptune Avenue is not a
cul -de -sac and it terminates at the project site. Opening Neptune Avenue to connect to
River Avenue would actually improve the mobility of large emergency vehicles serving
Neptune Avenue. All on -site parking, vehicular, and pedestrian circulation systems would
be constructed in accordance with the City's standards and reviewed by the City Traffic
Engineer.

As noted in this comment for the existing apartment building, the proposed project
would provide adequate parking for its residents

project
would comply with the City's parking requirements. The Municipal Code Section
20.66.040 Parking Standards for Residential Districts requires a minimum two parking
spaces for each dwelling unit, plus 0.5 space for guest parking spaces
per unit. The
project is designed to provide a total of 2.62 parking spaces per unit, thereby
exceeding
the 2.5 space /unit requirement. The project would provide a total of 63 parking spaces,
with 48 dedicated residential spaces in garages and carports and 15 open guest spaces
The existing 54 -unit apartment complex currently provides a 1.85 spaces per unit (100
spaces total) consisting of 26 in carports, 29 under the building, and 45 open.. The City
does not require the parking spaces to be calculated based on the number of

Noise
'
C -74.
Based on industry- accepted methodology for the calculation of project - related vehicle
trips, the proposed project would result in a net reduction of trips as compared to
existing uses. Project - related vehicles during the operational phase would consist of
,
light -duty automobiles and trucks as well as motorcycles. Because the project is a
residential development, no 18- wheeler trucks are anticipated to access the site. Noise
generated from large equipment
and power tools are regulated through the City's
municipal code limits established through Chapter 10.26.
'
C -75.
Noise associated with property maintenance is governed under municipal code section
10.28.045. The City allows for the creation of noise associated with property
maintenance but limits occurrence based on the aforementioned municipal code
,
section. Due to the short duration of noise generated by property maintenance activities
as well as the restrictions on the time of occurrence to the least noise - sensitive portions
of the day, noise associated with property maintenance is not considered to result in a
significant noise impact.

C -76. Noise associated with trash trucks is regulated relative to time of occurrence. The City
does not consider noise from trash trucks to result in a significant noise impact due to
the brevity and infrequency of occurrence.
C -77. Noise associated with the operation of the project is regulated through the City's
'
Municipal Codes. These Codes include Chapter 10.26 - Community Noise Control, and
Chapter 10.28.010 - Loud and Unreasonable Noise. Project occupants and landscapers
are required to comply with these Municipal Code limits. Compliance with these
Municipal Code limits would minimize noise generated by the proposed project to level
'
is considered acceptable by the City and consequently would not result in a significant
noise impact
C -78. Noise associated with balcony use is also subject to the municipal code limits for noise.
'
Consequently, noise associated with the operation of the proposed project would not
result in a significant noise impact
C-79. Noise and vibration associated with construction activity is unavoidable. The City has
allowed the creation of noise and vibration from construction activity but restricted the
hours of occurrence to the least noise - sensitive portions of the day, as specified under
municipal code section 10.26.035. Construction - related noise and vibration will
intermittently occur through the day until the project is completed. Subsequent to project
buildout, construction noise and vibration will cease. CEQA requires an analysis of
physical environmental impacts only and does not require provision of financial
mitigations.
C -80. The assertion that noise levels were assessed for only a single piece of equipment is
incorrect. Construction related noise was evaluated by construction phase and included
typical equipment used for each construction phase. Construction of the proposed
project would involve standard construction techniques and equipment. The statement
'
that no alternative methods of construction or recommended is not accurate. To
minimize vibration generated from jackhammering in close proximity to the existing
residential uses, concrete saws would be employed during demolition of the existing
'
pavement on the project site.
The City of Newport Beach does not use Noise Abatement Criteria (NAC) for the
assessment of noise impacts under CEQA. The assessment of noise impacts from the
proposed project were based on the Municipal Code limits and. industry standards.
C-81. The noise analysis also required an evaluation of site suitability for the proposed noise-
sensitive residential use. Consequently, compatibility for the proposed residential use
'
relative to noise from aircraft and PCH was assessed.
Population and Housing
'
C-82. The Initial Study states that the proposed project would result in displacement of
approximately 122 residents based on average household size of 2.25. Also as
documented in the Initial Study, the City currently has a rental vacancy rate of 7.7
percent. The initial Study analysis concludes that, based on available rental units at
'
comparable rates, the City's commitment to providing affordable housing units in the
City, and project compliance with the Government Code Section 65590 and 65590.1,
impacts related to displacement of residents would be less than significant.
' Based on an income survey performed in June 2007 by the Las Brisas property
manager, 6 of the 54 apartment units are occupied by persons of lower or moderate
income. Therefore, to compensate for the loss of affordable housing, the applicant will
' be required to replace those 6 units at an off -site location within the City for a minimum
period of 30 years. The applicant has agreed to commit $1.35 million to subsidize the
rents and /or purchase price of off -site replacement housing. The net cost to subside 6
replacement units is estimated at $962,134, based on the City's Draft Technical

for the calculation of the City's affordable housing in -lieu fee.
C -83. Per draft Condition of Approval No. 17, all landscape materials and landscaped areas
are required to be installed and maintained in accordance with the approved landscape
plan. All landscaped areas are required to be maintained in a healthy and growing
condition and shall receive regular pruning, fertilizing, mowing, and trimming. Please see
Figure 7, Landscape Plan. Therefore, adequate landscaping will be provided.
The proposed project has been designed to be compatible with the development pattern
and character of the surrounding neighborhood, which generally consists of two- and
three -story, single -unit and two -unit dwelling. Each unit would feature either a Craftsman
or Plantation architectural style. Architectural details and enhancements (i.e., batt and
board wood siding, louvered window shutters, decorative trim, and stone veneer) would
be provided on all building elevations. The 2nd floor facades would be setback from the
1"' floor on the rear elevations and cantilevered over the 1"' floor on the front elevations,
providing articulation and modulation to the building mass. The 3'd floor of each building
would be set back from the front and rear elevations, towards the interior portion of each
building envelope, to reduce the visual mass of the structures as viewed from the streets.
In addition, draft Condition of Approval No. 7 states that, "The two structures that
encroach into the side yard setback area immediately adjacent to the east property line
shall be modified in height to conform to the 24 -foot base height limit."
The proposed project is designed to appear as if the units were situated on individual
30- foot -wide lots with setbacks comparable to surrounding R -1 and R -2 lots. Using the
R -1 and R -2 development standards as a guide for determining acceptable setbacks and
building separation would not intensify the difference in height or style of the
surrounding development. Under R -1 and R -2, the project site potentially allows 26 units
due to loss of guest parking requirement. The project site is designated as Multiple -Unit
Residential (Rd) with a maximum development limit of 51 dwelling units.
Public Services and Recreation
C -84. The Initial Study has studied the impact of the land use change from multifamily
residential to single and duplex residential units. Development density on -site would
decrease as result of the proposed project and subsequently, public services demand
would also be reduced. Furthermore, a homeowner's association and associated
CC &Rs would be formulated.
C -85. The proposed project provides adequate parking per the City code. Construction of a
continuous block wall to discourage residents to use the meter parking would not be
necessary. In addition, the Applicant is required (draft Condition of Approval No. 46) to
provide pedestrian walkways from River Avenue to Seashore Drive. Restricting access
from Seashore Drive to the project site would also limit the public access to the
pedestrian walkway. Please refer to Response C -52 with respect to potential City
purchase of site for park expansion.
Transportation and Traffic
C -86. The said provision guards against piecemealing a project on the same parcel or parcels
of property and does not apply to the proposed project. The proposed project alone is
anticipated to generate approximately 185 trips, not considering the net reduction in trip
from the existing use.
C-87. Using ITE Trip Generation Manual for trip generation rates is required per the City's
Traffic Phasing Ordinance and is widely accepted industry standard. Although there is a
wide variation in trip generation rates, the rates used for the project are comparable to all
other similar developments in the City and the proposed project does not present
exceptional circumstances whereby the use of specialized trip rates would be necessary.

' Appendix
C -88. Please refer to Response C-42.
C -89. Please refer to Response C -16.
Public Access
C -90. Please refer to Responses 16 and 6. The proposed residential development is not a
gated community and public access from River Avenue to Seashore Drive would be
provided.
' C -91. Development of the proposed project would provide improved public access to the
beach compared to the existing apartment complex by allowing public walkway from
River Avenue to Seashore Drive.
' C -92. Please refer to Responses C -61 and C -62.
C-93. The comment that the proposed project would give the appearance of a private
' community park is inaccurate and speculative. The park will remain as a public park and
there would be no design treatment to give it the appearance of a private facility.
C -94. Please refer to Responses C -16 and C -62.
' C -95. Please refer to Responses C -92, C -62, and C -71.

C -97. Please refer to Responses C-62, C -71, and C -6. 88
C -98. Please refer to Responses C-92, C -62, and C -71.
C -99. The proposed project does not conflict with this policy since Neptune Avenue currently
does not provide vehicular or pedestrian access to the beach. Additionally, there is no
proposal to convert Neptune Avenue to a private street. Instead, the propose project
would improve the shoreline access for pedestrians through walkways.
C -100. CEQA requires analysis of physical environmental impacts. This comment expresses a
' personal opinion and is beyond the scope of the Initial Study analysis.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
FOR THE SEASHORE VILLAGE PROJECT, NEWPORT BEACH. ORANGE COUNTY
(SCH#2008021075)
Dear Mr. Nichols:
The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has received your submitted
Initial Study (IS) and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ND) for the above - mentioned
project. The following project description is stated in your document "Development
and operation of 12 single - family detached units and 6 duplex units, for a total of 24
units, on a 1.49 -acre site. Access to the project site would be provided by two driveways
on River Avenue and a driveway from Neptune Avenue. The western driveway on River
Avenue would exclusively serve one single - family unit, and all other access would be
provided through River Avenue and Neptune Avenue. The existing 54 -unit apartment
complex would be demolished." DTSC has the following comments; please address if
applicable.
1) The ND should identify the current or historic uses at the project site that may
have resulted in a release of hazardous wastes/substances, and any known or
Potentially contaminated sites within the proposed Project area. For all identified
sites, the ND should evaluate whether conditions at the site may pose a threat to
human health or the environment Following are the databases of some of the
pertinent regulatory agencies:
National Priorities List (NPL): A list maintained by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (U.S,EPA).
Envirostor. A Database primarily used by the California Department of Toxic
Substances Control, accessible through DTSC's website (see below).

• The United States Army Corps of Engineers, 911 Wilshire Boulevard,
Los Angeles, California, 90017, (213) 452 -3908, maintains a list of Formerly
Used Defense Sites (FUDS).
2) The NO should identify the mechanism to initiate any required investigation
and /or remediation for any site that may be contaminated, and the government
agency to provide appropriate regulatory oversight. If necessary, DTSC would
require an oversight agreement in order to review such documents. Please see
comment No. 14 below for more information.
3) All environmental investigations, sampling and /or rerediation for the site should
be conducted under a Workplan approved and overseen by a regulatory agency
that has jurisdiction to oversee hazardous substance cleanup. The findings'of
any investigations, including any Phase I or II Environmental Site Assessment
Investigations should be summarized in the document. All sampling results in
which hazardous substances were found should be clearly summarized in a
table.
4) Proper investigation, sampling and remedial actions overseen by the respective
regulatory agencies, if necessary, should be conducted at the site prior to the
new development or any construction. All closure, certification or remediation
approval reports by these agencies should be included in the ND.

5) If any property adjacent to the project site is contaminated with hazardous
chemicals, and if the proposed project is within 2,000 feet from a contaminated
'
site, then the proposed development may fall within the "Border Zone of a
Contaminated Property." Appropriate precautions should be taken prior to
construction if the proposed project is within a Border Zone Property.
t6)
If buildings or other structures, asphalt or concrete -paved surface areas are
being planned to be demolished, an Investigation should be conducted for the
presence of other related hazardous chemicals, lead -based paints or products,
mercury, and asbestos containing materials (ACMs). If other hazardous
chemicals, lead -based paints or products, mercury or ACMs are identified,
proper precautions should be taken during demolition activities. Additionally, the
contaminants should be remediated in compliance with California environmental
regulations and policies.
7) Project construction may require soil excavation or filling in certain areas.
'
Sampling may be required. If soil is contaminated, it must be properly disposed
and not simply placed in another location onsite. Land Disposal Restrictions
(LDRs) may be applicable to such soils. Also, if the project proposes to import
soil to backfill the areas excavated, sampling should be conducted to ensure that
'
the Imported soil is free of contamination.
8) Human health and the environment of sensitive receptors should be protected
during the construction or demolition activities. If it is found necessary, a study of
the site and a health risk assessment overseen and approved by the appropriate
'
government agency and a qualified health risk assessor should be conducted to
determine if there are, have been, or will be, any releases of hazardous materials
that may pose a risk to human health or the environment.
'
9) If it is determined that hazardous wastes are, or will be, generated by the.
proposed operations, the wastes must be managed In accordance with the
California Hazardous Waste Control Law (California Health and Safety Code,
'
Division 20, Chapter 6.5) and the Hazardous Waste Control Regulations
(California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 4.5). If it is determined that
hazardous wastes will be generated, the facility should also obtain a United
States Environmental Protection Agency Identification Number by contacting
(800) 618 -6942.

Certain hazardous waste treatment processes or hazardous materials, handling,
storage or uses may require authorization from the local Certified Unified E -1
,
Program Agency (CUPA). Information about the requirement for authorization Cont'd
can be obtained by contacting your local CUPA.
11)
If the project plans include discharging wastewater to a storm drain, you may be
t
required to obtain an NPDES permit from the overseeing Regional Water Quality
Control Board (RWQCB).
12)
If during construction /demolition of the project, the soil and/or groundwater
,
contamination is suspected, construction/demolition in the area should cease
and appropriate health and safety procedures should be implemented.
13)
If the site was used for agricultural, livestock or related activities, onsite soils and
'
groundwater might contain pesticides, agricultural chemical, organic waste or
other related residue. Proper investigation, and remedial actions, if necessary,
should be conducted under the oversight of and approved by a government
'
agency at the site prior to construction of the project.
14)
EnviroStor is a database primarily used by the California Department of Toxic
Substances Control, and is accessible through DTSC's website. DTSC can
,
provide guidance for cleanup oversight through an Environmental Oversight
Agreement (EOA) for government agencies, or a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement
(VCA) for private parties. For additional information on the EOA or VCA, please

Response to Comments from Greg Holmes, Unit Chief, Southern California Cleanup
Operations Branch, Department of Toxic Substances Control, Dated March 13, 2008.
E -1 As contained in Appendix D of the Initial Study, Shaw Environmental, Inc.,
conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in January 2008 to evaluate
environmental conditions on the project and in the surrounding area. The Phase I
included a site inspection, review of federal and state environmental records, review
of historic uses. No adverse environmental conditions requiring regulatory action or
further investigation were identified by the Phase I other than potential for asbestos
containing materials (AGMs) and lead -base paint (LBP). There are existing
regulations in place to remediate hazards from these materials (page 68 of the Initial
Study). The listed comments are not applicable to the proposed project. No further
response is necessary.

Mitigated Negative Declaration
Pursuant to the procedures of the City of Newport Beach for the implementation of the California
Environmental Quality Act, the City has completed an Initial Study for the project described below:
Project Information:
IProject: Seashore Village Residential Project
Project Location: 5515 River Avenue, Newport Beach, California.
Project Proponent(s): Seashore Village, LLC.
Project Description: The project applicant, Seashore Village LLC, proposes to develop 12
single - family detached units and 6 duplex units, for a total of 24 units, on
a 1.49 -acre site at 5515 River Avenue in Newport Beach. The proposed
project would be completed in three phases with two building styles:
Plantation and Craftsman. Single- family units with Plantation and
Craftsman architectural styles would front Seashore Drive alternately,
and duplex units with Plantation and Craftsman architectural styles
would front River Avenue alternately.
The current permitted density at the site is 51 units per acre and the
proposed project would yield 16 units per acre. The project proposes a
gross floor area of 57,906 square feet and a floor area ratio of 0.78. The
development proposes three plan types —Plan A during Phase I, Plan B
during Phase Ii, and Plan C during Phase III —and four floor plans
ranging in size from 1,770 square feet to 3,248 square feet, including
attached garages, patios, and decks. For Plan A, the maximum ridgeline
height would be 31 feet and the maximum midpoint height would be 25
' feet and 6 inches. For Plan B, the maximum ridgeline height would be
31 feet and 4 inches and the midpoint height would be 26 feet and 8
inches. For Plan C, the maximum ridgeline height would be 31 feet and
I 4 inches and the maximum midpoint height would be 29 feet and 6
Inches.
The site is currently developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex. The
existing apartment complex would be demolished in preparation for
development of the proposed project. The existing apartment complex
has been surveyed for asbestos containing materials (ACMs) and all
ACMs would be abated prior to demolition. The site would be balanced
and no import or export of soils would be required.
I
Access to the project site would be provided by two driveways on River
Avenue and a driveway from Neptune Avenue. The western driveway on
River Avenue would exclusively serve one single- family unit, and all
other access would be provided through River Avenue and Neptune
Avenue.
The proposed project would provide a total of 60 parking spaces. These
parking spaces would include spaces within attached garages and 13
guest parking spaces, including one handicap space.
Existing Conditions: The approximately 1.49 -acre project site (APN No. 424 - 471 -03) is
relatively flat and has a trapezoidal shape. The project site is currently
developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex (Las Brisas Apartments).
The main building of the Las Brisas Apartment is an L- shaped, three-
story building with carports on the first level. Other associated uses
include a swimming pool, paved parking area, and planters. The project
site is currently accessed via two driveways on River Avenue. Access
from and to Seashore Street and Neptune Avenue is blocked by a
wooden fence.
Summary of Impacts: Attached is the Initial Study prepared for the proposed project. The
Initial Study reviews potential environmental effects associated with the
proposed project. Please review the Initial Study for more information.
Discretionary Approvals: Seashore Village LLC is seeking approvals for the implementation of the
proposed project. The intent of this Initial Study and Mitigated Negative
Declaration is to enable the City of Newport Beach, other responsible
agencies, and interested parties to evaluate the environmental impacts
of the proposed project, thereby enabling them to make informed
decisions with respect to the requested entitlements.
The proposed project would require the following entitlements from the
City of Newport Beach:
Approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 17194 (TfM 17194). Request to
approve TTM 17194 for condominium purposes, creating 24 airspace
condominium units.
Modification Permit. Request to reduce the minimum building
separation distance required by the MFR zoning designation from 10
feet to 6 feet and to reduce the minimum front setback distance along
Seashore Drive required by the MFR zoning designation from 20 feet to
10 feet. A modification permit is also requested for a 3 -foot sideyard
setback where the MFR zone requires approximately 25 feet sideyard
setback based on lot width.
Use Permit. Request to exceed the midpoint height requirement of 28
feet for the duplex structures by 1 foot and 6 inches, whereas the
maximum permitted ridge height of 33 feet would not be exceeded.
Coastal Residential Development Permit (CRDP). Required to ensure
compliance with California Government Code Section 65590 et. Seq.
and Chapter 20.86 of the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code for
.projects located within the Coastal Zone.
Coastal Development Permit (CDP). Coastal Development Permits are

Lead Agency Determination:
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
❑ I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
® I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed
to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact' or "potentially
significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately
analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by
mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be
addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or
NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated
pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that
are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

' 1. Introduction
Seashore Village LLC seeks City approval for a tentative tract map, modification permit, use permit, and
Coastal Residential Development Permit to construct a 24 -unit residential community on approximately
' 1.49 acres in the City of Newport Beach. Development of the proposed project also requires the
approval of a Coastal Development Permit from the California Coastal Commission to construct in the
Coastal Zone. The site is currently developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex and associated uses.
' The City of Newport Beach, as Lead Agency for the project, is responsible for preparing environmental
documentation in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as amended, to
determine if approval of the discretionary actions requested and subsequent development could have a
' significant impact on the environment. This Initial Study will provide the City of Newport Beach with
information to document potential impacts of the proposed project.
1 1.1 PROJECT LOCATION
The project site is located at 5515 River Avenue in the City of Newport Beach, Orange County, California.
The project site is generally bordered by River Avenue to the north, Seashore Drive to the south
residential units, including vacation rentals, to the east, and a City -owned park to the west. Figure 1, �
Regional Location, and Figure 2, Local Vicinity, show the location of the project site in the regional and VV
local context of Orange County and Newport Beach, respectively.
1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
1.2.1 Existing Land Use
The approximately 1.49 -acre project site (APN No. 424 - 471-03) is relatively flat and has a trapezoidal
shape. The project site is currently developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex (Las Brisas Apartments).
' The main building of the Las Brisas Apartment is an L- shaped, three -story building with carports on the
first level. Other associated uses include a swimming pool, paved parking area, and planters. The project
site is currently accessed via two driveways on River Avenue. Access from and to Seashore Street and
' Neptune Avenue is blocked by a wooden fence. See Figure 3, Aerial Photograph.
1.2.2 Surrounding Land Use
The project site is surrounded by residential uses, such as vacation rental units to the north, south, and
east, and a city park to the west. The West Newport Park is located immediately west of the project site
and is equipped with a play area, water fountains, tennis courts, racquetball courts, a basketball half
' court, and restroom facilities. The Pacific Ocean is one block to the southwest, less than 200 feet from
the project site, and the Pacific Coast Highway runs adjacent to the residential properties to the north,
behind an alley and an approximately nine -foot tall block wall.

1. Introduction
1.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.3.1 Proposed Land Use
The project applicant, Seashore Village LLC, proposes to develop 12 single - family detached units and 6
duplex units, for a total of 24 units, on a 1.49 -acre site at 5515 River Avenue in Newport Beach. See
Figure 4, Proposed Site Plan. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the proposed project would be completed in
three phases with two building styles: Plantation and Craftsman. Single- family units with Plantation and
Craftsman architectural styles would front Seashore Drive alternately, and duplex units with Plantation
and Craftsman architectural styles would front River Avenue alternately.
The current permitted density at the site is 51 units per acre and the proposed project would yield 16
units per acre. The project proposes a gross floor area of 57,906 square feet and a floor area ratio of
0.78. The development proposes three plan types —Plan A during Phase I, Plan B during Phase II, and
Plan C during Phase III —and four floor plans ranging in size from 1,770 square feet to 3,248 square feet,
including attached garages, patios, and decks. Figure 6 shows Plan A building elevations, Figure 7
shows Plan B elevations, and Figures 8a through 9b show Plan C building elevations. For Plan A, the
maximum ridgeline height would be 31 feet and the maximum midpoint height would be 25 feet and 6
inches (see Figure 6). For Plan B, the maximum ridgeline height would be 31 feet and 4 inches and the
midpoint height would be 26 feet and 8 inches (see Figure 7). For Plan C, the maximum ridgeline height
would be 31 feet and 4 inches and the maximum midpoint height would be 29 feet and 6 inches.
The site is currently developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex. The existing apartment complex would
be demolished in preparation for development of the proposed project. The existing apartment complex
has been surveyed for asbestos containing materials (ACMs) and all ACMs would be abated prior to
demolition. The site would be balanced and no import or export of soils would be required.
Access and Parking
Access to the project site would be provided by two driveways on River Avenue and a driveway from
Neptune Avenue. The western driveway on River Avenue would exclusively serve one single - family unit,
and all other access would be provided through River Avenue and Neptune Avenue.
The proposed project would provide a total of 60 parking spaces. These parking spaces would include
spaces within attached garages and 13 guest parking spaces, including one handicap space.
1.3.2 Project Phasing
Development of the Seashore Village project would be completed in approximately 18 months, as listed
below.
• asbestos abatement (2 weeks to 1 month)
• building demolition (approximately 30 days).
• site grading (approximately 30 days).
• building construction in three subphases, as shown in Figure 4. (approximately 16 months)

September 14, 1998
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Robin L. Clauson, Assistant City Attorney
RE: City /County Dock Property
3333 Pacific Coast Highway, Newport Beach, California
Recommended Action
Authorize interim City Manager to execute Estoppel Certificate in substantially the
form attached.
Background
In 1958, the property located at 3333 Pacific Coast Highway, Newport Beach,
California was owned by the County of Orange (the "Property "). Adjacent to the Property,
the City owns Tidelands pursuant to State grant. In 1958, the City entered into a lease
agreement with the County whereby the.City leased the Tidelands to the County and
authorized the County to lease both the Property and the Tidelands as a single parcel
(the "1958 Lease "). The single parcel was to be made available for lease through public
bidding. The successful lessee would be required to construct a bulkhead and extend
existing stormdrains. Pursuant to the 1958 Lease, the City was to be paid rent equal to
35% of all monies received by the County. The County entered into a lease with Thomas
A. Cox in 1964. The Cox lease has been assigned many times over the years and is
currently held by Harbor Marina L.L.C.
In 1997, the County sold the Property and assigned the 1958 Lease to Golden
Hills Properties, L.L.C., a California Limited Company. The 1958 Lease expires in 2018.
Harbor Marina has sought financing from Bank Audi (USA) which will be secured
by a deed of trust encumbering Harbor Marina's leasehold interest in the Property and the
Marina. Bank Audi (USA) has requested that the City execute an Estoppel Certificate.
The Estoppel Certificate represents the following to the bank:
0 0
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Robin L. Clauson, Assistant City Attorney
RE: City /County Dock Property
September 1, 1998
page z
That the City consents to the encumbrance of its interest in the Cox
Lease;
2. That there has been no amendment, modification or supplement to
the 1958 Lease;
3. That there is no default by GHP in the performance of any provisions
of the 1958 Lease and that rent due under the Lease has been paid
and is current;
4. The Certificate also agrees that notice will be provided to the lender
in the event of default under the 1958 Lease.
When researching the payments under the lease, staff discovered that there was
no record for a payment being received from the County for the second quarter (April -
June) of 1997. The Estoppel Certificate reflects this fact and indicates that the City is
pursuing the County for either certification that the payment was made, or payment as
required by the lease. Therefore, it is recommended that City Council authorize execution
of this Estoppel Certificate.
Please give me a call if you have any que tions or concerns.

FROM: Public Works Director and Harbor Engineer
SUBJECT: REQUEST OF NEWPORT ARCHES MARINA, INC. FOR ADDITIONAL FLOAT AND RAMP AND
BOAT LAUNCHING CRANE AT THE CITY - COUNTY DOCK PROPERTY
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the request be denied.
DISCUSSION:
On May 14, 1968 the Joint Harbor Committee considered the request of Newport
Arches Marina, Inc. to construct a float and ramp channelward of the seawall fronting
on the channel leading to the Arches bridge. The matter was tabled for one month for
further study.
Denial of the application is recommended for the following reasons:
1. The approved Harbor Permit Policies do not permit floats in this area.
2. A similar request for a float in front of a building on the opposite
side of the channel has been denied.
3. No Pierhead Line has been established by the U.S., Corps of Engineers
for this area.
4. The proposed float and crane would require dredging at the toe of
the wall which could endanger the stability of the wall. (A portion
of the seawall in this area had to be replaced due to a failure
caused by dredging near the toe of the wall).
5. The float would occupy an area that is outside the permit area defined
in the original lease documents.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

June 11, 1968
to That floating drydocks be considered as shore - connected structures.
2. That the City be made responsible for regulating floating dry docks.
DISCUSSION:
On May 14, 1968 the Joint Harbor Committee considered the matter of floating
dry docks. The item was held over for one month to permit a ,point study by City and
District staffs.
Before an activity may be regulated, it must be defined. Because a floating
dry dock is not a vessel, and because normally it remains in one place, it is recom-
mended that it be considered as a shore - connected structure and treated as such.
Council:
The following regulations are intended to be recommended to the City
1. That each floating dry dock installation require a use permit from
the Planning Commission.
2. That each floating dry dock installation require a Harbor Permit
from the City Council.
3. That each floating dry dock installation require a City Business
License.
4. That floating dry docks be permitted only in waters over or bayward
of property zoned commercial, manufacturing, or unclassified.
5. That each floating dry dock be permanently moored at one location.
The Harbor Permit would control configuration, mooring, setbacks, parking
requirements, signs, and sanitation requirements, as is customary for fixed piers
and floats.
The Use Permit would control the use of the facilities, including height,
length, hours of operation, noise control, rubbish and pollution control, appearance,,
safety, etc.

5(a), the Lessees are required to keep "complete books, records
and accounts of all financial transactions" relating to the leased
property during the entire 44 -year term of the lease. As revised
this provision would require that such records be retained for a
period of 10 years.
Comment: This change is for the purpose of relieving the Lessees
oT T— burden of providing for the storage and preservation of
financial records for a lengthy period of time. The interests of
the Lessors would be adequately protected by the 10-�year storage
record retention requirement.
2. The language to be added to paragraph 7(a) guarantees to Us-
sees the right to contest taxes levied against their possessory
interest under the Pease and against improvements and personal
property existing on the leased premises.
Comment: The Lessees probably have this right anyway, but this
T nguage ties it down.
3. The language to be added to paragraph 8(c) relating to insur-
ance would permit a beneficiary under a deed of trust on the
property to be named as an additional insured and establish a
procedure for the distribution of insurance proceeds in the event
of loss.
Comment: This added language would not adversely affect the City's
nntterests.

To; The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council -2- April 6, 1967
The letter from Robert Harris dated March 27, 1967, states that
the proposed changes in the lease were requested by the lender,
Union Bank, After reviewing the proposed changes I can find no
reason why they should not be acceptable to the City. It is
anticipated that the matter will be considered by the Board of
Supervisors on April 11th, It is recommended that the City
Council express its consent to the amendments by adopting the
following motion,
The City Council expresses its consent to that
certain document presented in draft form designated
Modification of Lease, which amends certain pro-
visions of the City- County Dock Property Lease.

RE: Newport Arches Marina
Dear Mr. Seymour:
At long last, we have arrived at the final phase of concluding the
development program of the Newport Arches Marina and the construction
of our building. However, before concluding our loan escrow with the
Union Bank, it has become necessary that certain minor modifications
be made in the lease in order to satisfy the lender, Union Bank. En-
closed is the proposed modification of the lease which is currently
being processed by the County Counsel's office of Orange County through
Adrian Kuyper, and Bill McCourt.
It will be extremely helpful, if after reviewing the enclosure, you will
indicate whether the proposed changes meet with your approval, and if
there is any question regarding any provision thereof, will you please
contact Mr. Kuyper or Mr. McCourt directly.
Because of the time element involved, we would appreciate the matter
being processed in order that it may be-presented for approval at the
next City Council meeting on April 10, 1967:

THIS AGREEMENT, dated this day of
between the County of Orange, a political subdivision of the State of
California (herein called "Lessor "), and Everett S. M. Brunzell and

R C I T A L S:
A. Reference is made to that certain Lease Agreement entered

B. Thomas A. Cox's interest under said Lease was subsequently
assigned to Lessee under that certain Assignment of City - County Dock
Property Lease dated December 21, 1964.
C. Lessee desires to hypothecate said leasehold interest to
secure a loan from Union Bank. Said bank has requested that certain
provisions of said Lease be modified to set forth procedures under
the Lease which are not now specified.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants of
Lessor and Lessee hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree,
and said Lease is hereby modified, amended and supplemented as follows:
1. The following language shall be added to the first full
paragraph of paragraph 5(a). "Said books, records, accounts and
documents shall be kept and preserved by Lessee for a period of
ter, (10) years immediately subsequent to the date of the furnishing
to Lessor, pursuant to paragraph 5(c), of the annual statement of
income to which they relate."
2. The following language shall be added to paragraph 7(a):
";- provided, however, that Lessee may make such payment under protest,
and may, in good faith and in a lawful marr:e contest the propriety
or legality o:: :_,y z.ax, assessment or cla:_ >6ainst said premises
but all cos, :_ c,_. expenses incident to such c :....:-est shall be paid by
Lessee."

additional insured, as its interest may appear, any beneficiary under
6
a deed of trust to which the Lessor has given its consent; provided,
7
however, that neither this provision nor the naming of said bene-
8
ficiary as an additional insured shall create any rights in said
9
beneficiary to the loss or proceeds of said insurance, but shall merely
10
recognize the rights, if any, of said beneficiary to such loss or

proceeds as such rights may exist under the Lease or as the result

Subject: Improvements to County Dock property
I
M
18, 1962
The question of completion of the bulkhead a backfill on the
County Dock property has previously been bef re the City Council.
It was indicated that the City shou pay 3 % of the cost and the
County pay 65 %, which is the proportiold nate ownership set out in
the 1958 City - County agreement. The Coun y has suggested a
written contract setting out the agreeme of the City and the
County for sharing the costs of complet' n of the bulkhead and
backfill. Transmitted herewith is a r olution which, if adopted
by the City Council, will authorize th execution of the contract.
The contract as written calls for coqbletion as shown on Plans and
Specifications designated N-10 date April 1962 which are on file
in the office of the Orange County arbor District. The contract
calls for the City to pay 35% of t e cost of the improvements not
to exceed $7000. It also calls f the City to pay 35% of the
cost of advertising for bids. I requires the County to pay the
remainder of the cost.

December 26, 1961
I am submitting with this letter the names of another group for your
consideration and investigation as assignees of the County Dock Lease. This
consideration is only asked in the event that Mr. Elzea's backers are not
acceptable to you and that he is rejected. I have had several discussions of
the project with Mr. Jackson and Mr. Alberding subsequent to the enclosed letter
and they are very interested in proceeding subject to your approval. Mr. Alberding
who is a fine gentlemen that I know you will like is the fourth largest hotel
owner and operator in the country. Most of his operations are in the South and
Midwest, although he has several deluxe resort hotels in Pheonix, Arizona. He is
presently building a hotel at La Jolla with Mr. Jackson and they will be here
the first week in January if you should wish to meet with them.
I am sending a copy of this letter and the enclosures to Ken Sampson
to save time if you wish an investigation to be made.
Sincerely yours,

Re: COUNTY DOCK PROPERTY
At the regular meeting of the Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission
held Tuesday, November 21, 1961, letters were read from D. J. MacLean,
801 Cliff Drive, Mrs. Stuart D. Baird, and the Woman's Civic League
of Newport Harbor, relating to the County Dock property. Each of the
three letters strongly urged that this area be preserved for a scenic
view of the Bay.
A motion was made by Commissioner Pease, seconded by Commissioner
MacKay, and carried, that the Commission urge the City Council,to
take immediate and strong steps in every possible thing that can be
done to see that this property is preserved for park purposes,
Very truly yours,

Dear Sir,
I wish to add my voice to the chorus of farsighted
citizens who are requesting that the county dock area be
converted to public park.
There is no other city in the world that can
boast a view such as the one that greets the visitor as
well as the homecomer when whey reach the arches. It is
unthinkable that this should be commercialized for the
benefit of a few at the unmeasurable expense of the entire
community.
Very truly yours
A

Sirs:
Recent public discussions of high rise buildings
have shown the intense interest the people of this
community-have toward preserving a scenic view of
our beautiful waterfront.
Q. -
REEE��'E�
a. do
I suggest that if the original lease for the county
dock land and the adjacent city land which was to
become the "Towers" were to be considered today, the
great majority of the residents of this community
would be in favor of leaving this land as a window to
the bay rather than filling the last public panorama
with a building. Our indifference at the original
signing of this lease should not be used as a gage
at. this time of public sentiment for the best use of
this land which is so ideally located to be enjoyed
by residents and visitors. If recent newspaper quotes
are correct in stating that the present lease is,
or will be, delinquent, I wish to go on record as
favoring that this land be converted.to a public green
area. One that will preserve a picture window in
this area for every city and county resident and for
every passing visitor to this area for generations
to come. This would not be without precedent in
our community to have a park which is to be enjoyed
principally for its scenic view alone. I know of no
more beautiful spot in our city than the green area
along the Corona Del Mar bluff overlooking the jetty.
The argument that income could be obtained from this
land with use other than a park is valid for every
existing or potential park in our city or county. To
many the question is simply, "What is a priceless
picture worth ?" This truly is a picture window that
should be destroyed only if it can be shown the public
interest can be better served.

Dear Mr. Stoddard,
We have recently returned from
through many many of the beauty spots of the
country, Glacier Rational Park, the Cascades,
the Rain Forest, the Redwood Highway and the
superb coastline along the way. We returned
to Newport Beach with joy at seeing again
the beauty of our own community.
As you are no doubt aware, many of the
residents of this city feel a great sense of
loss atithe threat of having the view of the
channel, little by little, shut off for all
except those who own frontage property. Re-
cognizing that change and progress are in-
evitable and, for the most part, good, it
still seems reasonable that the bulk of the
taxpayers should have some areas reserved
so that they can get glimpses of the beauty
that is such a distinguishing mark of this
community. At this time I have in mind the
long view of the channel as seen from the
Arches.
I had heard that a building was going up
on this property. Yyhen I read that there was
some difficulty about the arrangement and that
the property belongs to the municipality and
the country, I decided to write in the hope
that something may yet be done to reserve it
for the countless thousands, residents of the
area and hhose passing; through, who will tra-
vel down ewport Blvd. and the Coast Highway
now and in the future.
I wish that I could have made this the
ost convincing letter that you have read*
erhapds it will serve in some small part
to have consideration given to reserving some
view property that can forever be enjoyed by
all in their dad ly rounds.
sinc ely yours$..,r

Rea Newport Beach dock
Having settled here only a few months ago, I was unaware that the
county -owned dock property had been made available for private development
and a lease given to one George Carvers for this purpose, two years ago.
I have only now learned of his non - performance and your action in respect
to this. This is inexcusable.
In the event that said Carver does not comply with the demands of
the county by August 29th deadline date, I wish to go on record as being
extremely interested in such a project ... and that I can develope this pro-
perty into a world showplace and memorial worthy in every respect, of this
splendid and beautiful community. Both architecturally and functionally,
I visualize a multi - million dollar project with unique features that would
be favorably publicized and talked about around the world...and would be
an engineering marvel .a beacon of beauty visible at night from at least
twenty-five miles out to sea, and from much further away in the air.
Back east, I've had over thirty yyeeare experience as a (and with)
prcmotor, organizer and developer of worthwhile projects, both in cons-
truction and commercial propositions, and in their successful management.
I have many contacts. I was extremely active in civic development and
improvement, Having now adopted this area as the place to live out my years,
I am anxious and will be proud to bring into being such a great asset to our
city.
The conditions of the lease are unknown to me, nor exactly what
property environic.to the dock is included. I would.make two stipulations
in any case.
1. A substantial adjacent area to the dock must be made
available... both shore and water rights. This, for
the dual purposes of (a) providing a substantial park-
ing area restricted to the users of the dock facilities,
m -m(b) and for providing additional area over and in
the ocean for construction and facilities to serve
the project with boat slips and service docks a,--
.an oceanside marina for those using our facilities.
2a The various authorities involved must grant permis-
sion to construct a breakwater so that the above
marina facility will be in its lee...in turn, the
breakwater itself, in part, will be a recreational
facility.
If and when I can be officially permitted to enter into active
negotiations and work, respecting this development, I will present a major
plan (master) for this project in the form of an architectural rendering
within sixty days time for approval. When actual leases have been exe-
cuted, final plans wild be submitted within another 60-90 days, and cons-
truction will begin almost immediately thereafter, when plans are ap-
proved ... a project worthy of the largest city in the land, unlike anything
elsewhere on earth, m of inestimable value to Newport Beach as a facility,
as an asset, as a publicizer, and probably the producer of the largest tax
revenue in Orange County, plus lease revenue. ,I estimate the entire project
can be completed in 12 ®1 months, but it will be so planned and executed (in
"stages ") as to make certain facilities open to the public as each "stage`
is completed.
Please put me on record wherever necessary, regarding my interest
and desire to perform.
Sincerely yours,

Gentlemen: Attentions Supervisor Claire Nelson
The Council of the City of Newport Beach, on August 14, 1961,
unanimously adopted the following motion made by Councilman Lorenz:
"it was directed that the Board of Supervisors be advised as
follows:
"1.. The: city Council reaffirms its disapproval -of the
July 12 resolution of the Board of Supervisors: in which the ex
tension of 120 days to October 25, 1961, was granted.
112. The City Council approves the terms of the duly 25 :
resolution of the.Board.of Supervisors setting out the conditions
under which an assignment would be favorably considered.
"3. Mr. Carver's letter<of'Augguust 2, 1961, to the Board of
Su ervisors, being : inconsistent with the Board's.reeolution of
July 25, is unsatisfactory and the terms are not acceptable to the
City.
4. it is the recommendation of the City Council that the
Board of Supervisors take action when the matter is considered on
August 16, 1961, . to advioa'Mr. Carver that he must comply with the

assignee that can comply with the terms of the lease and, if he has
not done, so it would be the intention of the Board of Supervisors
to give notice of default at that time."

Gentlemen:
I received the following telegram from the Corporation Attorney
yesterday: '71116 is to confirm that Newport Towers as a California Corporation
has been formed."
4k have found the recommendations in the county counsels report to
be generally acceptable with the following minor deviations:
a. Completely acceptable as previously agreed in writing.
b. Completely acceptable.
C. A firs, loan commitment cannot be obtained until the lease has
been assigned to the Corporation and the approved plans are
available. However, the best possible indication of commit-
ment will be obtaired and submitted to the Board.
d. This is acceptable if the Board will act to approve or dis-
appruve aiy request for change within 1^ days of submission.
6. Complec =ly acceptable.
It is hoped that this report wets with the approval of the Board of
Supervisors, if so we will proceed to make the necessary arrangements and report
back to the Board in two weeks.

I understand the. request of Mr. Carver -for an .
extension -of time.uader his Lease on the County
Dock property will_be.before the Board of Super -
visors . again on August 2,1961. The City' Council
considered the extension of time at its meeting
on July 17 ®.1961, and again at its rig ular meeting
on July 24, 1961. At the meeting an July 17, the
Council disapproved the 124 -day axtension of time
under the contract. At:the meeting of July 24, the
Council heard Mr. Carver and then clarified the
action takers on July 17.
The City Council disappproves.any.blanket extension
o£. time to Mr. Carver becauae of the history of
long delays and lack of satisfactory performance.
However, the City Council does not oppose an exten-
sion of time reasonably necesaaryto permit an
assignment to a corporation that is.satislactorilyy
constituted and meets reasonable standards that the
Board may impose and the City Council approve. Time
to prepare t e plans that should have been submitted
months ago should be kept at an absolute minimum.
Strict compliance with the terms of the lease should
be raquired.in the future.

DISPOSITION
Due to a mis- understanding my client, Mr. George
P. Carver was not aware that the matter of the action of the
County Board of Supervisors in extending his time under
the lease, was to be considered by your body on July 17th.
Consequently neither Mr. Carver or myself felt
the necessity of attending this meeting of the Council,
and were therefore unable to present our reasons for requesting
the delay and to answer any questions you might have. We
had also been advised that the matter would probably be
on the agenda for the 24th of July.
In view of these circumstances I, on behalf of
my client respectfully request.that you re- consider your
action of the 17th and permit us to advance our arguments
Justifying this extention of time, and permit us to answer
any questions that you may have.
Very sinoerely yams,

Excerpt from the Minutes of the adjourned regular Council Meeting held on
July 17, 1961:
"Correspondence which had been furnished the Council by J. M.
Miller, on behalf of George F. Carver, in connection with. the
County Dock lease, was presented by Mayor Stoddard.
"Mayor Stoddard reported that the Board of Supervisors.had
approved the request of Mr. Carver: for a 120 day extension of
time under the contract, subject to the approval of the City of
Newport Beach.
"Based upon the report of the Mayor regarding a hearing held by
the Board of Supervisors, it was directed that the Board of
Supervisors be notified that the Council feels that no further delay
should be granted, due to the fact that no 'good faith' in performance
of the contract has been shown to date.
"Ben Reddick spoke from the audience. "
The motion was made.by Councilman Lorenz, with Councilmen Hart, Lorenz,
Kingsley, Atkinson and Stoddard voting yes. Councilmen Somers and Cook
were. absent.

1. Biographical information on J. M. Miller.
2. Biographical information on Allan F. Zalk.
3. Letter from Allan F. Talk describin g the assets of the proposed

4. Letter from Lge G. Marrs of the Mortgage Finance Corporation
stating their continued willingness to finance the Newport. Towers

5. A note from the contractor, Mr. Foerstel, of the Foerstel -Neal

erect a chain link fence with sign..
6. A note concerning the bonding capability of the contractor from
the Ellis P. Schmidt Agency.
7. A letter from the senior architect, Mr. Lester R. Schwager, as
to why the 110 foot height is in the best interests of the County,
the City, and the Project.
I would like to add to this data the statement that I have neither asked
nor expected any relief from my personal liability under the terms of the lease by
virtue of the assignment to the corporation.
The steps needed to move forward in a constructive manner as I see them are
as follows:
1. Approval of my request of February 27, 1961, concerning the assignment {
of the lease to the corporation.
2. An ammendment to Page 2,.line 1, of the lease ammendment of February 28,
1961, to read as follows:
Unit C- A tower building of a height in accordance with
the. City. of Newport Beach building regulations, but in
no case to exceed 110 feet plus appurtenances. First
floor club and bar, rental area and coffee shop..
3. A 90 day extension of time be granted for submission of the plans to the
County, said extension to become effective from the date that the Charles
Bennet Zoning Plan is either adopted or rejected by the City of Newport Beach.

It should be obvious to you that we cannot go any farther than this.
It would be a waste of time as well as quite costly taxwise and in
a number of other respects for us to effectuate the actual transfer
of this property into the Corporation before we know definitely
whether or not you,are prepared to go ahead with the company. As
soon as we have this .definite word from you the Corporation will
be activated and will be prepared to go forward with any financing
required to complete the Newport Towers project.
I trust that I may.hear from you regarding this matter as soon as
possible.

We have not yet heard from you regarding the assignment of your
lease with Orange County to our Corporation. As you know we have
taken all of the steps that we can to.this point to form this
Corporation, Newport Towers, Inc. The name has been approved by
the Secretary of State, and our attorney is ready and can complete
the balance of the required legal work in a matter of one week;
`
however, until the Orange County Board of Supervisors has approved
the transfer of your lease to this Corporation we Pelt that there
p
was no necessity of going any Panther with this legal work. As,
you know, you and your associates were to be.substantial stock -
"
holders in this Corporation, and it was agreed that you were to be
president of the Corporation. We concluded that it would be simpler
to work through a corporate entity rather than as individuals.
We are prepared to put into this Corporation a parcel of land located
along the Colorado River,.near Blythe., California. .This land of
approximately 2200 acres is fully developed for agricultural pur-
poses as well as having over 4 miles of water, frontage. We value
this property in excess of $3,000,000 and feel that with this proper-
ty in the Corporation that we have a sound and substantial Corpora-
tion to move forward in the development of the Newport Towers
project.
It should be obvious to you that we cannot go any farther than this.
It would be a waste of time as well as quite costly taxwise and in
a number of other respects for us to effectuate the actual transfer
of this property into the Corporation before we know definitely
whether or not you,are prepared to go ahead with the company. As
soon as we have this .definite word from you the Corporation will
be activated and will be prepared to go forward with any financing
required to complete the Newport Towers project.
I trust that I may.hear from you regarding this matter as soon as
possible.

By your minute order of June 10 1960, you referred to this
office four sets of plans and specifications of the Newport
Towers project for study and report as to whether the plans
and specifications comply with the terms of lease.
The plans and specifications submitted are the detailed
plans and specifications required by the lease to be pre-
pared by Leases and submitted to the Board of Supervisors
for approval. Paragraph II of the lease required the Lessee
to construct certain improvements. We have made a casual
examination of the plans and are unable from such examina-
tion to determine whether or not all of the required improve-
ments are covered by the plans. These plans must be approved
by the Board of Supervisors as are other plans for county
construction. We therefore recommend that the plans be re-
ferred to the Building Department for checking and to deter-
mine whether or not the detailed plans conform to the purposes
required to be conducted by Lessee which are more specifically
described in the proposal of Lessee submitted to the Board
and which is now on file with the County Clerk. By the terms
of the leas% as amended, the Lessee has ten days after the
approval of the detailed plans to file a bond to guarantee the
construction of the improvements. The improvements required
by the lease are estimated to cost $1,624,960.00 and consist .
of the following:
Estimated
1. Motel - 36 modern units with Cost
approximately 400 sq. ft. each $ 2989800.00
2. Tower Building - consisting of
a. Coffee Shop 190 000.00

Gentlemen:
Transmitted herewith is a tabulation and analysis of the bids received
for the lease of the County Dock property.
it should be -noted that all of the bids received contain Informalitles
or irregularities of one sort or another. We have not attempted to make
a legal analysis of the significance of these various Items, but assume
that prior to making a final award the effect of these informalities
will be referred to legal counsel.
Assuming that the legal matters referred to above can be adequately re-
solved, the analysis indicates that the bid of Newport Towers, submitted
by Mr. George Carver, represents the highest development of the property
and the maximum guaranteed return to the County.
Respectfully submitted,
KENNETH SON, Harbor Manager

Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your order of December 26, 1958, the Financial statements presented
by t_-.e bidders for the lease of the County Dock property have been studied by
the imu'ersirnpd. Of the four oriF;irml bidders Atkins & ? ignins of Long Beach
was the only one failing to submit the financial information recuested. On the
basis of the information supplied by the romsini.n; bidders, all three appear
to be financially responsible to a lease of the type contemplated.
In evaluating; the financial statements submitted b-; ':ir. Car'vgr and his associates
under tote Newport Towers bic., it should be pointed out that the letter of intent
com.,ittinf seven individuals to enter into a joint venture to finance and
operate the proposed facility is actually signed by only four of the seven parties.
The three parties not signing represent over 85% of the combined assets. It is
therefore suggested that written evidence be obtained substantiating the partici-
pation of air. Metzdorf and Drs. Garter and Friedman in the joint venture referred
to in the letter transmittikry, the financial information for Newport Towers,
Respectfully submitted,

OnHanday, December 15, 19580 the bids were opened for the
proposed lease of the property owned in portions by this
City of Newport Beach and the County of Orange and commonly
known as "The Arches." On that date your Honorable Board
appointed me to mane an analysis of the four bids received.
The analysis is as follows:
1. The first bid opened was submitted by Atkins and
Wiggins Inc. of Long Beach. This bid complied with the
Resolution calling for bids in so far as suggested minimum
rental. The proposal, however, does not contain sufficient
preliminary plans or specifications and estimates in such a
fora' as to permit an intelligent evaluation of the proposed
uses and improvements and the bid contains conditions one
of which would require that Article IIV of the lease be
eliminated. This Article pertains to the easements, trusts
and warranties under which the property is jointly held.
2. The second bid opened was from the Wagner Develop-
=mt Company. This bid also offered the same bass in{ni+um
rental as provided for in the basolution..The bidder failed
to indicate in his bid the size, capacity or expected revenues
from any of the proposed improvements. The bidder failed
to submit any plans, specif cations or estimates sufficient
to permit an intelligent evaluation of the proposed uses and
improvements or the revemes to be derived therefrom.
3. The third bid to be opened was submitted by K. W.
Boat Sales, Inc. This bid complied with the Resolution in
so far as stag the minimum rental. However, the percent-
age payments as indicated in the bid do not comply with the
Resolution since in the business referred to as Marina Hard-
ware Store the percentage is based on a rental to be obtained
from subleasing of the building. Mw method of bidding
rentals used by the bidder is such that an intelligent evalua-
tion of percentage rentals of gross receipts cannot be
._' I App -

determined from the proposal. The bid further deviates
from the Resolution in that the bidder proposes to locate
the bulkhead line in an alternate location which is not
consistent with the lease proposal.
4. The fourth bid to be opened was submitted by
Newport Tower Development. In this bid, the bidder bid
$600.00 per month for the first 36 months of the lease and
$2,500.00 per month thereafter during its tenon. This is
in excess of the minimum basic rental required by the Reso-
lution. The proposal of this bidder does describe the
improvements to be constructed, the size and type of con-
struction and method of construction, and does state the
estimated revenues to be expected based upon purported
competent authority. However, this bidder proposed the
extension of the deck beyond the lands described in the
Resolution and the U. S. Bulkhead line. The proposed ex-
tension beyond this line would require a permit from an
agency other then the City of Newport Beach or the County
of Orange.
The figures were calculated on this bid as follows:
Base Rental
First 36 months $ 219600.00
Remaining term of lease 19395,000.00
Total minimum to be expected by
the County of Orange through
Base Rental ................... $ 194160600.00
Total estimated by bidder to be
expected by the County of Orange
through Base Mental plus
percentage rental ............. $ 108810600.00
The above stated figures are determined from an analysis of
the bid and information submitted by the bidder. I did not
deers it necessary to completely check all the estimates of
purported competent authority submitted by the bidder in
support of his estimates since this bid was the only bid to
allow any figures of a satisfactory nature to be calculated.

given top priority by the City Attorney.

January 13. During the month of January several calls were made from this
office to the office of the City Manager and to the City Attorney in order
to emphasize the necessity for prompt action. The last such call was made
on the morning of February.10, at which time this office was again informed
that this matter held a position of first priority in the City Attorney's

lar meeting of that date.
The Commission instructed the Harbor Manager to communicate directly with
the City Council requesting Immediate action to solve these legal questions
In order that a program that has been pending for several years might be
satisfactorily resolved.

By the way of background information, Mr. Wank has indicated that

The 1965 General Session of the Legislature added Section 7018.:

as follows:
"7018. On or.before June 30, 1966, the board shall prescribe a ,
form entitled "Notice" which shall describe the pertinent.
provisions of this state's lien laws. Each contractor licensed l
under this chapter,'prior to receiving from the owner of property
or his agent any payment for work for which a contractor's license .
is required, shall give a copy of this "Notice" to the payor.(Added
1965)"
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 7018, we herewith serve
upon you the following; i
NOTICE,
"Under the Mechanics' Lien Law (California Code of Civil Procedure,
Section 1181 et seq.), any contractor, sub - contractor, laborer, supplier
or other person who helps to.improve your property but is not paid for his
work or supplies,.has a right to enforce a claim against your property. This
means that, after a court hearing, your property could be sold by a court
officer and the proceeds of the.sale used to satisfy the indebtedness. This
can happen even if you have paid your own contractor in full, if the sub-
contractor, laborer, or supplier remains unpaid."
The foregoing "Notice" refers to the contruction of: An Office Building, "A
located at 3330 West Coast Highway, Newport Beach, California, City County Dock
Property. . See attached property description. Exhibit A

undersigned is not paid. .

From: City Attorney
Subject: County Dock lease
February 20, 1959
On January 16, 1959, at a special meeting of the City Counol.1,
it was ordered that the City of Newport Beach become a party to
a proposed action by George P. Carver, the successful bidder on
the lease from the County on the County Dock. property. It was
ordered that the City should intervene or advise that we will
not intervene in time to give the plaintiff an opportunity to
make the City a defendant.
An action was filed by Mr. Carver, the successful bidder, in
which he sought an order to compel Mr. Warner, Chairman of the
Board of Supervisors, to execute the lease on behalf of Orange
County. On February 11, 1959, we filed a complaint in inter-
vention in which we united with the petitioner and requested
that the Court order Mr. Warner to sign the lease on behalf of
the County. The matter was heard by the court on February 13,
1959, and subsequently the court granted the writ of mandate
compelling Mr. Warner to sign the lease.
Although I have not discussed the case with the County Counsel's
office since the writ was granted, it is not expected that an
appeal will be taken from the court's judI'_44 g,m .

COyOF
In connection with the Lease between George P. Carver
and the County of Orange, as contrasting agents for it-
self and the City of Newport Beach, this office is ins
formed that, notwithstanding the resolution of the
County Board of Supervisors accepting the bid of Mr.
Carver on this Lease and directing the County Coune6l
to prepare such lease, Willis Warner, Chairman of said
Board, has indicated his intention of refusing to sign
the Lease on behalf of the Board on advise of counsel*
In order to early out the intention of the Board's res-
olution it will be necessary for Mr. Carver to institute
an action for a Writ of Mandate in the Superior Court
seeking to require Mr. Warner as Chairman of the Board
of Supervisors to sign said Lease on behalf of the
County Board of Supervisors.
In our opinion the City of Newport Beach, because of It's
partial ownership of the real estate involved is a desir-
able party to this action and could well join with Mr.
Carver as plaintiffs therein or could intervene in said
action as an interested party. The law provides that
such a party who refuses to join as plaintiff or inter►
Tone in the action may be made a defendant therein and
in our opinion this is desirable.
In the interests of conserving tine, and in the event
that such Writ is granted, we would like to get it filed
as soon as possible and respectfully request that you
take such action as the Council deems advisable at as
early date as possible. We understand that your next rego

started on this project and if possible, complete it
In time for the summer season.
We will appreoiate your advise of your decision in the
matters
Yours very truly.

NEWPORT TOWER
JUSTIFICATION OF OPERATION SCHEDULE
ESTIMATED COST OF LAND IMPROVEMENTS AND BUILDINGS
Contractors, Millie & Severson, and, Paulin & Starling provided an
estimate of cost for the 'buildings and land improvements. Their
Individual estimates varied only 2 %. Mr; Paul Trautwein was con-
sulted as to the feasibility of basement parking and provided an
estimate of cost for the Bulkhead and Slip construction. The total
estimated cost, of land improvements, buildings, slip and bulkhead
totaled $1,624,960.00 Which we felt represented a fair and realistic
budget figure.
It is the leasers intent to erect and have in operation the 36 unit
motel, bulkhead and slip construction by July 1, 1959, all other
land improvements and buildings to be completed and' in operation by
mid - summer of 1960, contingent upon lease agvment, building
permits, etc.
ESTIMATED COST OF FURNITURE AND FIXTURES
Areas to be furnished either all or in part are as follows:
1. 36 Unit Motel Building - completely furnished
2. Tower Building
a. Lobby completely furnished
b. Coffee.Shop - completely furnished with exception of
expense items, silverware, dishes, etc.
c, Sky Room Restaurant and Barr completely furnished with
exception of expense items,, silverware,
dishes, etc.
d. 12 Professional Offices - floor covering only
e. 16 Apartments - floor covering, kitchen and utility area
only
EWA-
3. Club House- completely furnished with exception of
expense items, silverware, dishes;, etc.
Mr. Giles, Sales Manager for Barker Brothers Hotel Division and several
other interior design and decorator firms were consulted to arrive at an
estimated cost of the required furnishings. The average estimated cost
of $168,800.00 was used for our budget figure.
KSTIWED GROSS INCOME PER YEAR
The general basis of operation used in estimating the gross income was
that the leaser and, /or his agents would manage the development. The
restaurants and bars would be leased at a percentage of gross income.
Commercial areas, the apartments, offices, and boat slips would be
individually leased at a fixed monthly rate; motel and other recreational
activities would be operated by the management..
Basis of Income
1. Motel Building - (36 units)
The basis of gross income was based on an average
rate of $15.00 per unit /day, at an occupancy factor
of 75% per year. Comparable motel developments in
the area ;rent for an average price of about $18.00
per unit /day during the summer season and about
$12.00 per unit /day during the winter. our assumption
of $15.00 per unit /day is believed to be conservative
as there are usually additional charges for more than
two people per room, etc. The occupancy factor is
comparable with the Disneyland Hotel, Jansca Inn, and
hotel average for Southern California.
2. Tower Building a
a. Coffee Shop - basis of income was established that 65
covers at an average of $1.50 per cover
would be turned over 4 times per day.
This figure was checked by customer counts
at the Snack Shop in 'Corona del Mar and the
Blue Dolphin in the Lido Shopping Center,
as these are considered a comparable type
of coffee shop.
.b. Sky Room Restaurant and Bar - basis for gross income was
established that 1`70 covers at an average
of $3.00 per cover would 'turn over 3 times
per day. Mr. J. Drulner, Mr. E. Dunkin,
and Mr. W. Holder, successful restaurant
operators, were consulted in arriving at
this figure. There are other methods of
estimating the gross income but all parties
agreed that the total would be essentially
r
the same.
C. Professional Offices - the office space represents a total
of 10,000 square feet. We used a base rate
of $.44 per square foot per month which is
the present rate of the Bay Lido Building,
just across the bay from this location and
has only a few offices with a view comparable
to ours. The Lido Professional Building,
with only partial view offices, charges $.40
per square foot and has a waiting 1 -1st..
a
Ip `f
d. Apartments - there will be 16 apartments which we have .•
estimated to bring an average of '$500.00
per month each, The Balboa Bay Club, which
has the only apartments in this area which
can be considered comparable, charges $650.00
per month, including maid service for a two
bedroom apartment. We feel that we are some
what conservative in estimating'$400.00 per
month for a two bedroom apartment and $600.,00
per month for a three bedroom apartment with
maid service.
e. Commercial Area - the Tower Building would contain two
commercial stores at an average monthly
rental of $500.00 each. Similar stores in
the Lido Shopping Center rent for $25.00 per
front foot per month. We reduced our rental
charge to approximately two - thirds of this
figure because our stores do not have great
depth..
3, Commercial Building - There are -five stores which we would rent
at $500.00 per month each. (See 2 e above).
4.a. Boat Slips -Boat owners and slip owners were contacted in the
Newport Harbor area as to the requirements and price per foot.
The average price today is $1,50 per foot, however, with the
increasing demand, this price is rapidly being bid up to $2.00
per foot. It is our opinion that first class slips, including
lockers & shower facilities for the boat owners and additional
lockers for their boating gear, will bring $1.75 per foot per
-F
month. The slips would be constructed to accommodate 50 foot
boats, maximum.
5. Miscellaneous Income
a,. Club Membership - a club would be organized for a
maximum of 250 members who's interest
would be in boating,, swimming and
other recreational activities suited
to the Newport area. 'Membership fee
$100.00 per year.
b. Boats., swimming Suits, towels, water skis;, etc. would,
be rented.
c,. Service Bar located in the Clubhouse would cater to
club parties, and /or residents of the motel.
d. Gift Shop - a souvenir type gift shop would be located
in the lobby.

I1.4 EXISTING ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN
The General Plan designation for the project site is RM (Multiple Unit Residential) and the project site is
zoned Multiple - Family Residential (MFR). The project site is located in the Coastal Zone and is
designated as High Density Residential (RH -A) in the Coastal Land Use Plan.
1.5 DISCRETIONARY APPRO VALS
Seashore Village LLC is seeking approvals for the implementation of the proposed project. The intent of
' this Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration is to enable the City of Newport Beach, other
responsible agencies, and interested parties to evaluate the environmental impacts of the proposed

iThe proposed project would require the following entitlements from the City of Newport Beach:
• Approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 17194 (TTM 17194). Request to approve TIM 17194 for
condominium purposes, creating 24 airspace condominium units.
• Modification Permit. Request to reduce the minimum building separation distance required by
the MFR zoning designation from 10 feet to 6 feet and to reduce the minimum front setback
' distance along Seashore Drive required by the MFR zoning designation from 20 feet to 10 feet. A
modification permit is also requested for a 3 -foot sideyard setback where the MFR zone requires
approximately 25 feet sideyard setback based on lot width.
• Use Permit. Request to exceed the midpoint height requirement of 28 feet for the duplex
structures by 1 foot and 6 inches, whereas the maximum permitted ridge height of 33 feet would
not be exceeded.
• Coastal Residential Development Permit (CRDP). Required to ensure compliance with
California Government Code Section 65590 et. Seq. and Chapter 20.86 of the City of Newport
Beach Municipal Code for projects located within the Coastal Zone.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
RI find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially
significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has 'been adequately
analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by
mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be
addressed.
F] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or
NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated
pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that
are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

2. Environmental Checklist
2.4 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each
question. A "No Impact' answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources
show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project
falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based
on project- specific factors, as well as general standards (e.g., the project would not expose
sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project- specific screening analysis).
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on -site,
cumulative as well as project - level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as
operational impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the
checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant
with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact' is appropriate if there is
substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially
Significant Impact' entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact"
to a °Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures,
and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level.
5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA
process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration.
Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analyses Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within
the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal
standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on
the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures
Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the
earlier document and the extent to which they address site -specs is conditions for the
project.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information
sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously
prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or
pages where the statement is substantiated. A source list should be attached, and other sources
used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.

8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead
agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a
project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
9) The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) the significance criteria or threshold, I any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant.

3. Environmental Analysis
Section 2.3 provided a checklist of environmental impacts. This section provides an evaluation of the
impact categories and questions contained in the checklist and identifies mitigation measures, if
applicable.
3.1 AESTHETICS
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is not part of a scenic vista. The project site is located in
a coastal area. Newport Beach is located in a unique physical setting that provides a variety of
spectacular coastal views, including those of the open waters of the ocean and bay, harbor, sandy
beaches, rocky shores, wetlands, canyons, and coastal bluffs. As shown in Figure 10, Coastal Views, the
project site is not located in the near vicinity of designated public view point or coastal view road. The
nearest public viewpoint is located approximately 1,000 feet to the northwest and the proposed project
would not directly obstruct its view of the ocean.
While the proposed project would not substantially after the visual character of the project area from
designated public view points, viewing perspectives from the neighboring residents would be changed.
However, as shown in Figures 11 a and 11 b, Site Photographs, the project site and its surrounding area
are developed with residential units of similar height (three stories) and there is no direct full view of the
ocean. Existing views of the ocean are already compromised by these residential units on Seashore
Drive.
A modification permit is requested to reduce the minimum building separation distance required by the
MFR zoning designation from 10 feet to 6 feet and to reduce the minimum front setback distance along
Seashore Drive by 20 feet to 10 feet. The current building designs are similar in size, proportion, and
1 separation to existing buildings in the neighborhood. Typical building separation in the neighborhood is
approximately 6 feet and has a minimum setback of 10 feet along River Avenue and 5 feet along
Seashore Drive.
' The project site is located within the shoreline height limitation zone, which limits residential
development height to 28 feet. However, the ridges of pitched roofs are permitted to exceed the height
limit by 5 feet, provided that the midpoints of the roof planes are at 28 feet. The new building heights
1 would range from approximately 31 feet to 33 feet. While the 12 newly proposed single - family units along
Seashore Drive would comply with the midpoint requirement of 28 feet, duplex units along River Avenue
would exceed this requirement by approximately 1.5 feet.
1 Under the MFR zone, a single multifamily structure of over 50 units for the project site is allowed. The
existing apartment building is a single, 54 -unit structure, approximately 28 feet tall (three stories), with no
breaks in building massing. The intent of the height limitation zone is to regulate the visual and physical
1 mass of structures consistent with the unique character and visual scale of Newport Beach. As shown in
Figure 11 b, typical buildings in the area are three -story, rectangular buildings, and they already obstruct
views of the ocean. The proposed visual and physical massing of structures would be compatible with
1 the character of the neighborhood. The proposed project would allow for more public visual open space,
1 Seasbore Village Initial Study City of Newport Beacb • Page 39
M
3. Environmental Analysis
and 24 single - family and duplex units situated on individual pads would be more compatible with the
existing neighborhood than the single apartment complex with multiple units under one roof. As stated, a
minimal encroachment into the 28 -foot height limitation is requested only for the duplex units along River
Avenue. The Craftsman and Plantation styles proposed for the project require low pitched -gable
rooflines and conforming to the height limitation would result in a more massive structure than currently
proposed. Figure 12 compares the conforming design to the current project. As shown, an alternative to
exceeding the height limitation by 1.5 feet would be to construct taller structures with longer roof spans.
The proposed project results in shorter overall structure design that provides more visual open space.
Furthermore, as stated in Policy 4.4.2 -2 of the Coastal Land Use Plan, the bulk and height limitation is to
.preserve public views through the height, setback, floor area, lot coverage, and building bulk regulation
of the Zoning Code in effect as of October 13, 2005 that limit the building profile and maximize public
view opportunities" (emphasis added). The proposed project would not substantially obstruct or block
the public view opportunities of the ocean. Although the height limitation would be exceeded, the new
development would not conflict with the intent of the shoreline height limitation as the development
would be compatible with the existing visual scale of the neighborhood. The proposed project would not
have an adverse effect on a scenic vista. No mitigation measures are necessary.
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings,
and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
No Impact. State Route 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) is designated as Eligible to be a state scenic highway.
The designated segment starts east of Newport Avenue, approximately 1.5 miles east of the project site.
An approximately 1,000 -foot segment of Superior Avenue between Pacific Coast Highway and Hospital
Road is designated as a Coastal View Road by the City of Newport Beach General Plan. However, the
project site is currently developed with an apartment complex and does not contain any visually unique
resources including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, or historic buildings. Implementation of
the proposed project would not substantially damage scenic resources. No mitigation measures are
necessary.
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project would not substantially degrade the existing visual
character or quality of the site and its surroundings. The project area is primarily residential except for
the city park to the west. As shown in Figures 5 through 9b the proposed development would have two
building styles: plantation style and craftsman style. Single - family units with plantation and craftsman
architectural styles would front Seashore Drive alternately, and duplex units with plantation and
craftsman architectural styles would front River Avenue alternately. As shown in Figures 11a and 11 b,
Site Photographs, the exiting neighborhood generally displays two- to three -story residential units,
including vacation rental homes, with various architectural styles. There are no uniform building
characteristics and construction of 24 units with a combination of two architectural styles would not have
a substantial degrading impact to the area's aesthetic quality. Furthermore, the existing multifamily
complex provides a minimal landscaping area of 9,393 square feet (14.4 per cent). The proposed project
would more than double the on -site landscaping area to 20,987 square feet (32.2 per cent), especially
along the two street frontages. Therefore, the proposed project is anticipated to complement rather than
degrade the existing visual character and quality of the site and its surroundings. No mitigation
measures are necessary.

' d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect day or
nighttime views in the area?
' Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is developed with an apartment complex and associated
uses. Minimal light sources exist on the project site. No elevated parking lot lighting is provided within
the project site, as a fair amount of ambient lighting from surrounding land uses already exists. Sources
' of light in the project area consist of lighting from the residential uses north, south, and east of the
project site, the City -owned park to the west, and from street lights. Daytime glare sources include glass
and other reflective building materials from the existing apartment complex.
The City of Newport Beach does not have a lighting ordinance defining the maximum light intensity. The
proposed project would not include any flashing lights or high - intensity nighttime lighting that would
adversely affect nighttime views in the area. It is anticipated that on -site lighting would be typical of
residential development and no unusual types or number of lighting fixtures have been proposed. The
proposed project would not generate greater levels of light and glare than currently exist on -site. The
impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures are necessary.
' 3.2 AGRICULTURE RESOURCES
' In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead
agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997)
prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on
agriculture and farmland.
1
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland),
as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of
the California Resources Agency, to non - agricultural use?
No Impact. The proposed project site is located in a developed area and is not currently used for
agricultural purposes. The site is not designated Prime, Unique, or Farmland of Statewide Importance
according to the State Farmland Maps. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures
are necessary.
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract*?
No Impact. The project site is not currently zoned or used for agricultural purposes and does not fall
under a Williamson Act Contract. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are
necessary.
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could
result In conversion of Farmland, to non - agricultural use?
No Impact. The project site is not currently used for agricultural purposes; therefore, the project would
not result in the conversion of farmland to nonagricultural uses. No impacts to farmland would occur. No
significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary.

3.3 AIR QUALITY
The Air Quality section addresses the impacts of the proposed project on ambient air quality and the
exposure of people, especially sensitive individuals, to unhealthful pollutant concentrations. Air pollutants
of concern include ozone, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and oxides of nitrogen. This section
analyzes the type and quantity of emissions that would be generated by the construction and operation
of the proposed project.
Climate /Meteorology
Air quality is affected by both the rate and location of pollutant emissions and by meteorological
conditions that influence movement and dispersal of pollutants. Atmospheric conditions such as wind
speed, wind direction, and air temperature gradients, along with local topography, provide the link
between air pollutant emissions and air quality.
The City of Newport Beach is located within the South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB) which is managed by the
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The SoCAB incorporates approximately 6,645
square miles within four counties —San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles, and Orange — including
some portions of what was previously known as the Southeast Desert Air Basin. In May 1996, the
boundaries of the South Coast Air Basin were changed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to
include the Beaumont- Banning area.
The distinctive climate of the SoCAB is determined by its terrain and geographic location. The SoCAB is
a coastal plain with connecting broad valleys and low hills, bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the
southwest and high mountains around the rest of its perimeter. The general region lies in the
semipermanent high - pressure zone of the eastern Pacific, resulting in a mild climate tempered by cool
sea breezes with light average wind speeds. The usually mild climatological pattern is interrupted
occasionally by periods of extremely hot weather, winter storms, or Santa Ana winds.
The vertical dispersion of air pollutants in the SoCAB is hampered by the presence of persistent
temperature inversions. High - pressure systems, such as the semipermanent high - pressure zone in
which the SoCAB is located, are characterized by an upper layer of dry air that warms as it descends,
restricting the mobility of cooler marine - influenced air near the ground surface, resulting in the formation
of high -level subsidence inversions. Such inversions restrict the vertical dispersion of air pollutants
released into the marine layer, and together with strong sunlight, can produce worst -case conditions for
the formation of photochemical smog.
The atmospheric pollution potential of an area is largely dependent on winds, atmospheric stability, solar
radiation, and terrain. The combination of low wind speeds and low -level inversions produces the
greatest concentration of air pollutants. On days without inversions, or on days of winds averaging over
15 mph, smog potential is greatly reduced.
Air Quality Regulations, Plans, and Policies
The Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) was passed in 1963 by the US Congress and has been amended
several times. The 1970 Clean Air Act Amendments strengthened previous legislation and laid the
foundation for the regulatory scheme of the 1970s and 1980s. In 1977, Congress again added several
provisions, including nonattainment requirements for areas not meeting National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) and the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program. The 1990

Amendments represent the latest in a series of federal efforts to regulate the protection of air quality in
the United States.
' In 1988, the state legislature passed the California Clean Air Act (CCAA), which established California's
air quality goals, planning mechanisms, regulatory strategies, and standards of progress for the first time.
The CCAA provides the state with a comprehensive framework for air quality planning regulation. The
' CCAA requires attainment of state ambient air quality standards by the earliest practicable date.
Attainment plans are required for air basins in violation of the state ozone (00, carbon monoxide (CO),
sulfur dioxide (SOO, nitrogen dioxide (NOO, and particulate matter (PM,, and PM2.0 standards.
' Preparation of and adherence to attainment plans are the responsibility of the local air pollution districts
or air quality management districts.
State and federal agencies have set ambient air quality standards for certain air pollutants. NAAQS have
been established for the following criteria pollutants: CO, %, SO,, NO2, lead (Pb), and respirable
particulate matter (PM,, and PM2 -j. The state standards for these criteria pollutants are more stringent
than the corresponding federal standards. Table 1 summarizes the state and federal standards.
' Areas are classified under the FCAA as either attainment or nonattainment areas for each criteria
pollutant, based on whether the NAAQS have been achieved or not. The SoCAB is designated by both
' the state and the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as a nonattainment area for 0„ PM,o,

' 3. Environmental Analysis
' Global Climate Change
Scientists have concluded that human activities are contributing to global climate change by adding
' large amounts of heat - trapping gases, known as greenhouse gases (GHG), to the atmosphere. The
primary source of these GHG is from fossil fuel use. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) has identified four major GHG —water vapor, CO2, methane (CH,), and ozone (0)—that are the
' likely cause of an increase in global average temperatures observed within the 200 and 21"` centuries.
Other GHG identified by the IPCC that contribute to global warming effect to a lesser extent include
nitrous oxide (N,O), sulfur hexafluoride (SF.), hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and
' chlorofluorocarbons.
Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32), the Global Warming Solutions Act, was passed by the California state
legislature on August 31, 2006. AB 32 requires the state's global warming emissions to be reduced to
1990 levels by year 2020, and to 80 percent of 1990 levels by year 2050. Pursuant to the requirements of
AB 32, the state's reduction in global warming emissions will be accomplished through an enforceable
statewide cap on global warming emissions that will be phased in starting in 2012. To effectively
' implement the cap, AB 32 directs CARE to develop appropriate regulations and establish a mandatory
reporting system to track and monitor global warming emissions levels by January 2008. By January 1,
2009, CARE must prepare a plan demonstrating how the 2020 deadline can be met or bettered. However,
as immediate progress in reducing GHG can and should be made, AB 32 directed CARE and the newly
created California Climate Action Team (CAT) to identify a list of "discrete early action GHG reduction
measures" that can be adopted and made enforceable by January 1, 2010. CAT is a consortium of
representatives from state agencies that have been charged with coordinating and implementing GHG
' emission reduction programs that fall outside of CARB's jurisdiction.
To address GHG emissions and global climate change in general plans and CEQA documents, Senate
' Bill 97 (Chapter 185, 2007) requires the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to develop
CEQA guidelines on how to address global warming emissions and mitigate project - generated GHG.
OPR is required to prepare, develop, and transmit these guidelines on or before July 1, 2009.
' Existing Air Quality
Existing levels of ambient air quality and historical trends and projections in the vicinity of the proposed
project, are best documented by measurements taken by the SCAQMD. The City of Newport Beach is
located within Source Receptor Area (SRA) 18 – Metropolitan (Southeast Los Angeles County). The
SCAQMD air quality monitoring station in the SRA 18 that is closest to the proposed project site is the
1 Costa Mesa monitoring station, located at Mesa Verde Drive, Costa Mesa. As this monitoring station
does not monitor PM, or PM,,, data was supplemented from the Mission Viejo Station for these criteria
pollutants. Data from these stations are summarized in Table 2.
' The data show occasional violations of both the state and federal ozone standards. The data also
indicate that the area occasionally exceeds the state PM, standard and federal PM,., standard. Neither
the CO nor the NO2 standard has been violated in the last five years at this station.

Sensitive Receptors
m�
Some land uses are considered more sensitive to air pollution than others due to the types of population
groups or activities involved. Sensitive population groups include children. the elderly, the acutely ill, and
the chronically ill, especially those with cmodiorespiratorydiseases.
Residential areas are considered to be sensitive receptors to air pollution because residents (including
children and the elderly) tend to be at home for extended periods of dnne, resulting in sustained
="
exposure to any pollutants present. Schools are also considered sensitive receptors, aschildren are
present for extended durations and engage in regular outdoor activities. Recreational land uses are
considered moderately sensitive to air pollution. Afthough exposure periods are generally short, exercise
places a high demand on respiratory functions, which can be impaired by air pollution. In addition,
noticeable air pollution can detract from the enjoyment of recreation. Industrial and commercial areas are
considered the least sensitive to air pollution. Exposure periods are relatively short and intermittent, as

' generally the healthiest segment of the public. Sensitive receptors within the vicinity of the project site
include the residences and recreational facilities located adjacent to the project site.
tMethodology
Projected air emissions are calculated using the SCAOMD's Urban Emissions (URBEMIS2007)
' emissions model6. The URBEMIS2007 compiles an emissions inventory of construction, stationary, and
vehicle emissions sources. The URBEMIS2007 model uses EMFAC2007 emissions factors for vehicle
traffic. The calculated emissions of the project are compared to thresholds of significance for individual
' projects using the SCAOMD's CEOA Air Quality Handbook.
Thresholds of Significance
CEQA allows for the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air
pollution control district to be used to assess impacts of a project on air quality. The SCAQMD has
established thresholds of significance for regional air quality emissions for construction activities and
' project operation. In addition to the daily thresholds listed above, projects are also subject to the AAQS.
These are addressed though an analysis of localized CO impacts and Localized Significance Thresholds
(ISTs).
' Regional Significance Thresholds
The SCAQMD has adopted regional construction and operational emissions thresholds to determine
' project- specific and cumulative impacts on air quality within the SoCAB, as shown in Table 3.

• 8 hour = 9 parts per million
1 The SCAQMD requires the assessment of CO "hotspots" at congested Intersections for which project
traffic would travel. Ecceedance of the one- and eight -hour ambient air quality standards would
constitute a significant air quality impact.

3. Environmental Analysis
Localized Significance Thresholds
The SCAQMD developed LSTs for emissions of NO,, CO, PM,c, and PMZ,generated at the project site
(off -site mobile- source emissions are not included the LST analysis). LSTs represent the maximum
emissions at a project site that are not expected to cause or contribute to an exceedance of the most
stringent federal or state AAQS. LSTs are based on the ambient concentrations of that pollutant within
the project SRA and the distance to the nearest sensitive receptor. LST analysis for construction is
applicable for all projects of five acres and less; however, it can be used as screening criteria for larger
projects to determine whether or not dispersion modeling may be required. The construction LSTs for a
1.49 -acre project site within SRA 18 for sensitive receptors located within 25 meters (approximately 82
feet) are shown in Table 4. Projects larger than five acres can determine the localized significance for
construction by performing dispersion modeling for emissions that exceed the California AAQS.

Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air
pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
Less Than Significant Impact. A consistency determination plays an important role in local agency
project review by linking local planning and individual projects to the Air Quality Management Plan
(AQMP). It fulfills the CEQA goal of informing decision makers of the environmental efforts of the project
under consideration at a stage early enough to ensure that air quality concerns are fully addressed. It
also provides the local agency with ongoing information as to whether they are contributing to clean air
goals contained in the AQMP. Only new or amended general plan elements, specific plans, and major
projects need to undergo a consistency review. This is because the AQMP strategy is based on
projections from local general plans. Projects that are consistent with the local general plan are
considered consistent with the AQMP.
The proposed project is consistent with residential land use designation for the project site.
Implementation of the project would result in lower density residential land uses than currently existing
on -site and emissions from construction and operation of the project would not exceed the SCAQMD
thresholds. The operational phase of the project would also result in a net reduction of emissions as
compared to the existing uses, due to a net reduction in the number of residential units. Furthermore, the
project is not considered by the South Coast Association of Governments (SCAG) to be a regionally
significant project that would warrant a consistency review for criteria emissions or new GHG emissions

control strategies under AB 32. As the proposed project is both consistent with the City of Newport
Beach General Plan and would not exceed the SCAQMD emissions thresholds, the project would be
considered to be consistent with the AQMP and no significant impacts would occur.
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air
quality violation?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project includes construction and operation of 24 new
residential units on a 1.49 -acre parcel in the City of Newport Beach. Air pollutant emissions associated
with the project could occur over the short-term for site preparation and construction activities. In
addition, emissions would result from the long-term operation of the completed project from facility-
related energy consumption and automobile traffic traveling to and from the project site. The analysis
below describes the project's short-term and long -term air quality impacts.
Short -Term Air Quality Impacts
Construction activities would result in the generation of air pollutants. These emissions would primarily
be (1) exhaust emissions from powered construction equipment, (2) dust generated from demolition,
earthmoving, excavation, and other construction activities, and (3) motor vehicle emissions associated
with vehicle trips.
Construction is estimated to begin in 2008 and is estimated to take approximately 18 months to
complete. The proposed project would require demolition of 48,753 square feet of structures, which
would take approximately 30 days to complete. Grading activities would also take approximately 30 days
to complete. Construction of the residential buildings would be constructed in three development phases
in order to stage construction activities. For the purposes of air quality modeling, it was assumed that all
three phases would overlap. Approximately 0.67 acres, or 42 percent of the site, would be paved. These
construction emissions were estimated using the SCAQMD's URBEMIS2007 and are included in Table 5;
the model run is included in Appendix B.

thresholds for this pollutant
Seashore Village Initial Study City of Newport Beach • Page 57
3. Environmental Analysis
As shown in Table 5, all emissions are less than their respective SCAQMD threshold values. SCAQMD,
OPR, or CARB have yet to establish regional emissions thresholds for CO. emissions. However, because
the project is not a regionally significant project and the project would not exceed the SCAQMD
thresholds for criteria pollutants (CO, NO, PM,,, and PM2,), which were established to identify substantial
new sources of air pollution, CO, emissions are likely not to be considered substantial enough to result
in a significant cumulative impact relative to GHG emissions and climate change impacts. Therefore the
project's cumulative contribution to GHG emissions is less than significant.
Long -Term Operation - Related Impacts
Long -term air pollutant emissions generated by the project would be associated with project- related
vehicle trips and stationary- source emissions generated on -site by sources, such as water heaters, gas
stoves, and fuel consumed for landscaping activities. Long -term air quality impacts are typically
associated with the emissions produced by project- generated vehicle trips. However, the proposed
project would reduce the existing residential density from 54 residential units to 24 residential units.
Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 7th Edition (see
Section 3.15, Transportation/Traffic), the 12- single - family and 12- condominium units would generate 185
average daily vehicle trips (ADT), while the existing 54 -unit apartment complex generates 363 ADT,
resulting in a net decrease of 178 ADT. Furthermore, newer construction is typically more energy efficient
than older construction, as a result of more stringent efficiency requirements adopted in the California
Building Code. Consequently, the proposed project would result in a net decrease in operational
emissions. Therefore the project's cumulative contribution to GHG emissions would also be less than
significant.
c) Result In a cumulatively considerable net Increase of any criteria pollutant for which the
project region is non - attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality
standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors)?
Less Than Significant Impact. In accordance with SCAQMD methodology, any project that does not
exceed or can be mitigated to less than the daily threshold values does not add significantly to a
cumulative impact. The SoCAB is designated as a nonattainment area for ozone and particulates (PM,,
and PM2,J under the state and federal AAQS standards. Emissions that contribute to the exceedance of
these pollutants would cumulatively contribute to the region's nonattainment. Air pollutant modeling for
construction emissions demonstrate that project implementation would not exceed the SCAQMD's
construction phase pollutant thresholds. Furthermore, because the proposed project would result in a
decrease in vehicle trips, the project would reduce air pollutant emissions associated with the project
site. Therefore, the project is not considered by the SCAQMD to significantly contribute to the region's
cumulative emissions. Impacts from short-term construction and long -term operation would be less than
significant.
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The project could expose sensitive
receptors to elevated pollutant concentrations 4 it would: (1) cause or contribute significantly to elevated
pollutant concentration levels or (2) place the project in an area with elevated pollutant concentrations.
Unlike the mass (weight) of operational emissions shown in Tables 4 and 5 (pounds per day), localized
concentrations refer to the amount of pollutants in a volume of air (jug/ml and can be correlated to
potential health effects. Because the project would result in a net decrease in operational emissions on-
site, operational LSTs and CO hotspot analyses are not applicable for the project because the project

would result in a net decrease in air pollutant concentrations in the project vicinity as a result of fewer
vehicle trips and less residential units.
Construction LSTs
Emissions generated from construction activities are anticipated to cause temporary increases in
' pollutant concentrations. The frequency and concentration of such violations would depend on several
factors, including soil composition, the amount of soil disturbed, wind speed, the numbers and types of
machinery used, the construction schedule, and the proximity of other construction and demolition
I projects. LSTs are the maximum amount (in pounds per day) of air pollutants that a project can generate
without exceeding the AAQS at the nearest sensitive receptor. LSTs are based on the ambient air quality
in the SRA, which for the project is SRA 18. Because concentrations of air pollutants diminish with
' distance from the source, LSTs are also based on the distance to the nearest receptor, which for the
project is within 25 meters (approximately 82 feet).
LSTs are based on the AAQS; which are the most stringent. They are designed to protect those sensitive
receptors most susceptible to further respiratory distress, such as asthmatics, the elderly, very young
children, people already weakened by other disease or illness, and persons engaged in strenuous work
or exercise. Table B shows maximum dally onsite construction emissions generated by the project
' compared to the air pollutant threshold (LST).

surveys of mid -sized construction sites.
' Fugitive dust emissions reductions from demolition based on the particulate matter control efficiencies of Fugitive Dust
Mitigation Measure of 84 percent described below, as quantified by the SCAQMD in Table XI -A, Mitigation Measure
Examples: Fugitive Dust From Construction and Demolition.
a Fugitive dust emissions assumes application of Rule 403, which includes replacing ground cover as quicldy as possible,
watering exposed surfaces two times daily, equipment loading/unloading measures, and reducing vehicle speeds on
unpaved roads to less than 15 miles perhour. See AppendaA for additional fugitive dust control measures detailed in
SCADMD Rule 403.
Mitigation Measure
The construction contractor for the property ownerldeveloper shall implement additional
dust control measures during demolition as follows:
• The project contractor shall apply nontoxic chemical dust suppressants (e.g., polymer
emulsion) to buildings being demolished to reduce fugitive dust from active demolition
activities.
• The project contractor shall prohibit demolition activities when wind speed exceeds 25
miles per hour.
• The project contractor shall install a temporary construction fence and silt barrier around
the construction site as shown in the Construction Staging and Water Quality Control
Plan submitted to the City of Newport Beach for approval.
• The project contractor shall install construction tire wash areas at the entrance to the
project site on River Avenue and Neptune Avenue. All construction clean -up shall be
done in construction sediment basins. The construction tire wash area shall be installed
in accordance with the Construction Staging and Water Quality Control Plan submitted
to the City of Newport Beach for approval.
• The contractor will sweep adjacent streets and roads a minimum of once per week.
• Material haul trucks leaving the project site will have their loads either covered or
maintain a freeboard distance of two feet from the stacked load to the top of the trailer.
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
Less Than Significant Impact. Project construction would involve the use of heavy equipment creating
exhaust pollutants from on -site earth movement and from equipment bringing asphalt and other building
materials to the site. With regards to nuisance odors, any air quality impacts would be confined to the
immediate vicinity of the equipment itself. By the time such emissions reach any sensitive receptor sites
away from the project site, they are typically diluted to well below any level of air quality concern. An
Page 60 • The Planning Center February 2008 1

occasional 'whiff' of diesel exhaust from passing equipment and trucks accessing the site from public
roadways may result. Such brief exhaust odors are an adverse, but not significant, air quality impact.
The operational phase of the project would replace the existing 54 apartment units with 12 single family
and 12 duplex units. The existing residential complex is not a substantial source of odor generation. The
proposed residential units would not generate substantial odors as well. Nuisance odors are regulated
under SCAQMD Rule 402, which prohibits quantities of air contaminants or other materials to be emitted
within the SoCAB that cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of
persons or to the public, or that endanger the comfort, repose, health, or safety of any such persons or
the public, or that cause or have a natural tendency to cause injury or damage to business or property.
No significant sources of odors would occur on -site. Therefore, impacts from objectionable odors are
less than significant and no additional mitigation measures are necessary.
3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any
species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional
�. plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service?
No Impact. The project site is currently occupied by an apartment complex and approximately 86
percent of the entire is impervious. A site survey was conducted by Phil Brylski, Senior Biologist with the
Planning Center, which determined that there are no special status species or biological habitat located
on the project site. Therefore, the proposed development would not have any effect, either directly or
through habitat modifications, on any species identified as candidate, sensitive, or special status species
in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or
US Fish and Wildlife Service. No mitigation measures are necessary.
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community
identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the California Department of
Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
No Impact. The project site is currently occupied by an apartment complex and approximately 86
' percent of the site is impervious. There is no riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community located
on the project site. A site survey was conducted by Phil Brylski, Senior Biologist with the Planning
Center, which determined that there are no sensitive natural communities located on the project site.
' Therefore, the proposed development would not have any effect on any sensitive natural community
identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and
Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service. No mitigation measures are necessary.
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through
direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
No Impact. The project site is developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex and does not contain any
federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Redevelopment of the
project site would not directly remove, fill, or hydrologically interrupt any wetlands. No impact would
result from the proposed project and no mitigation measures are necessary.

3. Environmental Analysis
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife
species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of
native wildlife nursery sites?
No Impact. The project site is developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex and is not being used for
migratory wildlife corridors or native wildlife nursery sites. The project site does not contain any special
status biological resources and redevelopment of this site would not interfere with the movement of any
native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species. No impact would result from the proposed project
and no mitigation measures are necessary.
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree
preservation policy or ordinance?
No Impact. The project site is developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex and only contains
ornamental landscaping trees and plants. There are two small ornamental pine trees at the northwest
corner of the project site. The City Council Policy G3 (Retention or Removal of City Trees) was adopted
with the intent to preserve views and to preserve and promote the aesthetic and environmental benefits
provided by trees and it applies only to City trees, i.e., those located on public property and within public
parkways. Removal of these trees and plants would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances. No
impact would result from the proposed project and no mitigation measures are necessary.
Q Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community
Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan?
No Impact. The project site is not located within an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan.
Therefore, the implementation of the proposed project would not conflict with any habitat conservation
plans. No mitigation measures are necessary.
3.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES
a) Cause a substantial adverse change In the significance of a historical resource as defined in
§ 15064.5?
Less Than Significant Impact. Section 10564.5 defines historic resources as resources listed or
determined to be eligible for listing by the State Historical Resources Commission, a local register of
historical resources, or the lead agency. Generally a resource is considered to be "historically
significant," if it meets one of the following criteria:
Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of
California's history and cultural heritage;
ii) Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past;
iii) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region or method of construction, or
represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or
iv) Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.
Page 62 • The Planning Center February 2008
I
1 3. Environmental Analysis
IThe project site is developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex, which was constructed in 1972. The
building is modem in style and, given the building age of 35 years, no historical significance is
warranted. Implementation of the proposed project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the
significant of a historical resource and no mitigation measures are necessary.
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource
pursuant to § 15!)84.5?
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. A limited archaeological records search
' was conducted by McKenna at al. and found no archaeological evidence on or near the project site. The
nearest recorded archaeological sites are located approximately one quarter mile north of Pacific Coast
Highway and none would be impacted by the proposed project.
A review of historic maps (USGS Santa Ana Quadrangles of 1896 and 1901, rev. 1945) illustrated the
presence of the Southern Pacific Smeltzwe Branch Railroad alignment passing relatively close to the
project area, but this was long gone by the time the 1965 USGS Newport Beach Quadrangle was
prepared. Evidence of the historic railroad alignment may be identified within or near the current project
area, including the project site, even though the project site has been previously disturbed. The lack of
surface evidence does not preclude the discovery of subsurface evidence. However, the following
mitigation measure would ensure that impacts related to archaeological resources remain less than
1 significant.
Mitigation Measure
2. Prior to approval of a grading plan, the property owner /developer shall submit a letter to the
Planning Department, Planning Division, showing that a qualified archaeologist has been
hired to ensure that the following actions are implemented:
• The archaeologist must be present at the pregrading conference in order to establish
procedures for temporarily halting or redirecting work to permit the sampling,
identification, and evaluation of artifacts if potentially significant artifacts are uncovered. If
artifacts are uncovered and determined to be significant, the archaeological observer
shall determine appropriate actions in cooperation with the property owner /developer for
' exploration and /or salvage.
• Specimens that are collected prior to or during the grading process will be donated to
an appropriate educational or research institution.
• Any archaeological work at the site shall be conducted under the direction of the
certified archaeologist. If any artifacts are discovered during grading operations when
the archaeological monitor is not present, grading shall be diverted around the area until
the monitor can survey the area.
• A final report detailing the findings and disposition of the specimens shall be submitted
to the City Engineer. Upon completion of the grading, the archaeologist shall notify the
City as to when the final report will be submitted.
tc) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic
feature?
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The project site has been previously
disturbed and is underlain by fill material and Quaternary-age alluvial. No unique geologic feature exists
on -site and the likelihood of presence of a unique paleontological resource is minimal. However, the
Seashore Village Initial Study City of Newport Beacb • Page 63
3. Environmental Analysis
project site has not been previously surveyed for cultural resources and the potential for subsurface
evidence remains. Implementation of the following mitigation measure would ensure that potential
impacts are reduced to a less than significant level.
Mitigation Measure
3. The property owner /developer shall submit a letter to the Public Works /Engineering
Department, Development Division, and the Planning Department, Planning Division,
showing that a certified paleontologist has been hired to ensure that the following actions
are implemente(i
• The paleontologist must be present at the pregrading conference in order to establish
procedures to temporarily halt or redirect work to permit the sampling, identification, and
evaluation of fossils. If potentially significant materials are discovered, the paleontologist
shall determine appropriate actions in cooperation with the property owner /developer for
exploration and /or salvage.
• Specimens that are collected prior to or during the grading process will be donated to
an appropriate educational or research institution.
• Any paleontological work at the site shall be conducted under the direction of the
certified paleontologist. If any fossils are discovered during grading operations when the
paleontological monitor is not present, grading shall be diverted around the area until
the monitor can survey the area.
• A final report detailing the findings and disposition of the specimens shall be submitted.
Upon the completion of the grading, the paleontologist shall notify the City as to when
the final report will be submitted
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of tormai cemeteries?
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is currently developed with an apartment complex and is
surrounded by urban uses. No human remains are known to exist on the project site, and the site is not
identified as a formal cemetery. The project site and its surrounding area are highly disturbed and the
possibility of discovering human remains is unlikely. However, the lack of past evidence of a Native
American burial ground or human remains at the project site does not guarantee the absence of
subsurface remains. Therefore, if there is an unexpected discovery of human remains, then the District
shall follow guidelines addressed in the Health and Safety Code section 7050.5, which states:
In the event of discovery and recognition of any human remains in any location other
than a dedicated cemetery, there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site
or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains until the coroner of
the county in which the human remains are discovered has determined, in accordance
with Chapter 10 (commencing with §27460) of Part 3 of Division 2 of Title 3 of the
Government Code or any other related provisions of law concerning investigation of the
circumstances, manner and cause of any death, and the recommendations concerning
the treatment and disposition of the authorized representative, in the manner provided in
Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code. The coroner shall make his or her
determination within two working days from the time the person responsible for the
excavation, or his or her authorized representative, notifies the coroner of the discovery
or recognition of the human remains...
Page 64 • The Planning Center February 2008
! 3. Environmental Analysis
' If the coroner determines that the remains are not subject to his or her authority and if
the coroner recognized the human remains to be those of a Native American, or had
reason to believe that they are those of a Native American, he or she shall contact, by
telephone within 24 hours, the Native American Heritage Commission.
In accordance with state law, no further work in the area of concern (to be determined by the County
Coroner and a qualified archaeologist) will be permitted until the remains are removed from the site.
Once the remains are removed, construction activities may resume. If the remains are non - Native
American and of no forensic significance, the City will make the proper arrangements with a qualified
archaeologist to remove the remains and have them reburied in accordance with current Health and
Safety guidelines. If the remains are recent, the Coroner will handle all necessary removal and reburial
activities. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation measures are necessary.
3.6 GEOLOGYAND SOILS
The below analysis is based on result of the Geotechnical Investigation report dated June 13, 2007,
prepared by EGA Consultants, included as Appendix B.
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss,
Injury, or death involving:
i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist - Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning map, issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other AA
substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special
Publication 42.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is not underlain by a known earthquake fault and is
not delineated on the most recent Alquist - Priolo Earthquake Zoning map. No major fauns are known
to exist within the immediate vicinity of the project site. The Newport- Inglewood fault system is
located approximately 1.2 miles from the project site. No mitigation measures are necessary.
ii) Strong seismic ground shaking?
Less Than Significant Impact. One of the predominant effects of an earthquake is ground shaking.
Similar to the rest of southern California, the project site is subject to ground shaking and potential
damage in the event of seismic activity. The most likely source of strong seismic ground shaking
within the region would be a major earthquake along either the Newport- Inglewood or San Andreas
Fault. Both faults are classified as active, with a seismic capability over magnitude 7.0. The expected
ground motion characteristics of future earthquakes in the region will depend on the distance to the
epicenter and magnitude of the earthquake, as well as the soil profile of the site.
IThe proposed project would be built to meet the seismic design parameters contained in the most
current version of the Uniform Building Code (UBC) for Seismic Zone 4, as well as the standards of
the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC). Therefore, seismic impacts associated
with the proposed project would be less than significant. No mitigation measures are necessary.
111) Seismic- related ground failure, including liquefaction?
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. Liquefaction of soils can be caused
by strong vibration such as an earthquake. Loose, granular, sandy soils are susceptible to
Seashore Village Initial Study City of Neqorf Beach • Page 65
3. Environmental Analysis
liquefaction, while the more stable rock, gravel, clay, and silt are not significantly affected by
Vibration. Liquefaction is generally known to occur only in saturated or near - saturated granular soils.
The project site is underlain by fill and terrace deposits, which are characterized by clean beach
sands and silty sands, therefore, the project site has a significant liquefaction potential if subjected to
heavy vibration. However, provided that the project is constructed in accordance with the criteria and
seismic design parameters of the UBC, standards of the SEAOC, and recommended measures in
the site - specific geotechnical investigation (EGA Consultants 2007) impacts would be reduced to a
less than significant level.
Mitigation Measure
4. During construction, the construction manager shall ensure that measures listed in the
geotechnical investigation (EGA Consultants, 2007) or equivalent measures are
Implemented to minimize the effects of liquefaction. The measures shall include but are not
limited to:
• Tie all pad footings with grade beams.
• All footings should be a minimum of 24 inches deep, below grade.
• Continuous footings should be reinforced with two No. 5 rebar (two at the top and two at
the bottom).
• Concrete slabs cast against properly compacted fill materials shall be a minimum of 6
inches thick (actual) and reinforced with No. 4 rebar at 12 inches on center in both
directions. The reinforcement shall be supported on chairs to insure positioning of the
reinforcement at mid - center in the slab.
• Dowel all footings to slabs with No. 4 bars at 24 inches on center.
iv) Landslides?
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is relatively flat and there are no hills in the vicinity of
the project site that would pose a threat of landsliding. No significant impacts would occur and no
mitigation measures are necessary.
b) Result insubstantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
Less Than Significant Impact. Erosion is a normal and inevitable geologic process whereby earthen
materials are loosened, worn away, decomposed, or dissolved, and removed from one place and
transported to another. Precipitation, running water, waves, and wind are all agents of erosion.
Ordinarily, erosion proceeds so slowly as to be imperceptible, but when the natural equilibrium of the
environment is changed, the rate of erosion can be greatly accelerated. This can create aesthetic and
engineering problems. Accelerated erosion within an urban area can cause damage by undermining
structures, blocking storm sewers, and depositing silt, sand, or mud in roads and tunnels. Eroded
materials are eventually deposited into our coastal waters, where the carried silt remains suspended in
the water for some time, constituting a pollutant and altering the normal balance of plant and animal fife.
Due to the relatively flat topography and the developed nature of the site, erosion impacts would be
minimal. In addition, the project site is relatively small in size (approximately 1.49 acres) and would be
subject to local and state codes and requirements for erosion control and grading. The project would
also be subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting regulations,
including the development and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP),
Page 66 • The Planning Center February 2008

1 3. Environmental A
' No Impact. The proposed project involves the construction of a 24 single and duplex units in Newport
Beach. The project would be connected to the City's sewer system and would not need a septic tank or
alternative wastewater disposal system. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures
' are necessary.
3.7 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use
or disposal of hazardous materials?
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated.
Operation
The proposed project involves development of 24 residential units and would not use, store, handle, or
dispose of hazardous materials other than typical household cleaning solvents and landscaping
products.
Seashore Village Initial Study City of Neuport Beach • Page 67
which is further discussed in Section 3.8 of this report. With the adherence to these codes and
regulations, no impacts would occur. No mitigation measures are necessary.
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a
result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off -site landslide, lateral spreading,
subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse?
Less Than Significant Impact. Unstable soil is earth material that, because of its nature or the influence
of related conditions, cannot be depended upon to remain in place without extra support. The project
site is underlain by fill and native materials. The fill soils consist generally of dark brown and gray, dry,
loose to medium dense sand with very low expansion potential. Underlying the fill materials are
Quaternary-age alluvial and marine terrace deposits, consisting generally of light gray, moist, medium
dense, non - cemented, fine- to medium - grained; beach sand with occasional shell fragments. Therefore,
no sign of unstable soils has been identified during the geotechnical investigation. Furthermore, project
compliance with the measures outlined in the project's preliminary geotechnical investigation (e.g.,
removal and replacement of near surface soils with engineered fill), the criteria and seismic design
parameters of the UBC, California Building Code (CBC), and the SEAOC, and submittal of a detailed
geotechnical investigation report would reduce potential unstable soil impacts to a less than significant
level. No mitigation measures are necessary.
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18 -1 -B of the Uniform Building Code (1994),
creating substantial risks to life or property?
Less Than Significant Impact. Expansive soil, with respect to engineering properties, refers to thossoils
RIB
that, upon wetting and drying, will alternately expand and contract, causing problems for
foundations of buildings and other structures. No evidence of expansive soils was identified during the
geotechnical investigation. In addition, the design of the proposed project would be in conformance with
the UBC and the impacts relating to expansive soils would be less than significant. No mitigation
measures are necessary.
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste
water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water?
' No Impact. The proposed project involves the construction of a 24 single and duplex units in Newport
Beach. The project would be connected to the City's sewer system and would not need a septic tank or
alternative wastewater disposal system. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures
' are necessary.
3.7 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use
or disposal of hazardous materials?
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated.
Operation
The proposed project involves development of 24 residential units and would not use, store, handle, or
dispose of hazardous materials other than typical household cleaning solvents and landscaping
products.
Seashore Village Initial Study City of Neuport Beach • Page 67
3. Environmental Analysis
Construction
The EPA only requires asbestos removal in order to prevent significant public exposure to airborne fibers
during demolition or renovation activities. At other times, the EPA believes that asbestos removal
projects, unless well- designed and property performed, can actually increase health risk. Project
construction would include the demolition of the structures currently on the site. According to the Report
for Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) (EMG 2007), a total of 44 samples were submitted to the
laboratory for analysis and 17 samples were found to contain asbestos mineral type.
Specified work practice requirements limiting asbestos emissions from building demolition and
renovation activities are set forth in SCAOMD Rule 1403 (Asbestos Emission From
Demolition /Renovation Activities). This rule, in whole or in part, is applicable to owners and operators of
any demolition or renovation activity, and the associated disturbance of ACM. The requirements for
demolition and renovation activities include asbestos surveying, notification, ACM removal procedures
and time schedules, ACM handling and clean -up procedures, storage, and disposal requirements for
asbestos - containing waste materials.
The existing structures on -site are also required to be surveyed for lead -based paint (LBP) prior to
demolition or renovation, in compliance with the applicable local, state, and federal regulations
administered through the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health. Compliance with the
existing regulations and the following mitigation measure would reduce potential safety hazards
pertaining to ACMs and IBPs to less than significant levels.
Mitigation. Measure
5. Prior to demolition activity, a certified and licensed asbestos abatement contractor shall
perform any removal of asbestos containing material (ACM). Also, an industrial hygienist
must be present to perform engineering control and regulatory asbestos air monitoring
during any abatement activity.
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonable foreseeable
upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the
environment?
Less Than Significant Impact. As indicated above, there is a potential for asbestos to be released
during the demolition stage of project construction. However, compliance with the existing regulations
would reduce potential impacts to a level of less than significant.
To reduce impacts from potential spills of hazardous materials during construction, the project would be
required to comply with the requirements set forth under the Statewide General Permit for Construction
Activities, pursuant to Section 402 of the federal Clean Water Act. Per the requirements, best
management practices (BMPs) would be employed to control hazardous materials use and spills, as
detailed within a SWPPP prepared for the proposed project. The proposed residential use would not
create significant hazards through accidental release of hazardous materials. No significant impacts
would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary.

' Less Than Significant Impact. Access to the site would be taken via three driveways: two along River
Avenue and one on Neptune Avenue. The driveways and internal streets have been designed according
to fire department standards for emergency access. In addition, the fire department would review project
site plans for access and safety issues and building permits would not be issued until the project met fire
department standards for access. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are
necessary.

c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances,
or waste within one - quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
Less Than Significant Impact. There are no schools within one - quarter mile of the proposed project
'
site. The nearest school is Whittier Elementary School, located at 1800 Whittier Avenue, Costa Mesa,
California, approximately one mile north from the project site. No impacts would occur and no mitigation
is required.
d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant
to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to
the public or the environment?
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is currently developed as a multifamily apartment
complex. The project site is not identified in the Department of Toxic Substances Control's (DTSC)
hazardous wastes and substances list, which includes the Federal Superfund Sites (National Priority
List), State Response Sites, Voluntary Cleanup Sites, School Cleanup Sites, Permitted Sites, and
Corrective Action Sites. Implementation of the proposed single and duplex residential units would not
create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. No mitigation measures are necessary.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been
adopted, within two miles or a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a
'
safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
No Impact. The nearest airport to the project site is John Wayne Airport, approximately five miles north
of the project site. The project site is not located within an airport land use plan and the proposed project
would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area. No mitigation
measures are necessary.
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard
for people residing or working in the project area?
'
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip. Hoag
Memorial Hospital owns and operates a rooftop heliport, approximately 0.8 nautical miles to the east,
and the nearest airport, John Wayne Airport, is approximately five miles north of the project site. Project
implementation would not result in any airport- related safety hazards for anyone residing or working in
the project area. No mitigation measures are necessary.
g) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation plan?
' Less Than Significant Impact. Access to the site would be taken via three driveways: two along River
Avenue and one on Neptune Avenue. The driveways and internal streets have been designed according
to fire department standards for emergency access. In addition, the fire department would review project
site plans for access and safety issues and building permits would not be issued until the project met fire
department standards for access. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are
necessary.

h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland
fires, Including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are
intermixed with wildlands?
No Impact. The project site is located in a developed area and is not immediately adjacent to any
wildland areas. The project site is not located within the Special Fire Protection Areas (SFPAs). Areas in
SFPAs require fuel modification and a 100 -foot setback between the structure and the wildland areas.
Because the site is not located in an SFPA, the project site would not constitute a wildland fire risk to the
project site. No impacts from wildland fires would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary.
3.8 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
Less Than Significant Impact. Construction of the proposed project would potentially discharge
sediment and pollutants to the nearest receiving waters and result in a potential significant impact to
water quality.
Grading and excavation of the site would expose and disturb soils. The storage and use of hazardous
materials on -site, including treated wood, paints, solvents, fuels, etc., would be potential sources of
pollutants during construction.
The proposed project would generate the following potential runoff pollutants
• fertilizers and pesticides
• household hazardous waste (e.g., paints, cleaning agents, etc.)
• pet waste
• outside building and cleaning
• landscape maintenance debris
• vehicle washing and repair
The project site is located within the Newport Bay Watershed and the receiving water is Lower Newport
Bay, which is identified by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board as impaired due to
metals and pesticides. In addition, EPA Region IX has established Total Maximum Daily Loads for fecal
coliform, nutrients, and sedimentation /siltation for Lower Newport Bay.
Pursuant to Section 402 of the Clean Water Act, the EPA has established regulations under the NPDES
program to control direct stormwater discharges. In California, the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) administers the NPDES permitting program and is responsible for developing NPDES
permitting requirements. For Orange County, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board would
be responsible for implementation of the NPDES requirements. The NPDES program regulates industrial
pollutant discharges, including, those from construction activities on sites larger than one acre. The
proposed project would be subject to the NPDES program because the project would involve a site
greater than one acre.
The proposed project would then be required to develop and implement a SWPPP and be subject to
BMPs designated to prevent erosion and siltation during the project's construction phases.
In accordance with the requirements of the NPDES MS4 Permit, a Water Quality Management Plan
(WQMP) has been prepared. The WQMP contains specific source- and treatment - control BMPs that
Page 70 • The Planning Center February 2008
r
3. Environmental Analysis
' would reduce or eliminate the infiltration of pollutants into the stormwater system. The complete WQMP
can be found in Appendix D of this Initial Study.
The proposed project would involve asphalt paving at driveways with areas of groutless paver systems
to allow filtering of first flush of the driveways. Patios and walks would be constructed with concrete that
flows to an underground drainage system equipped with an inline perforated drain trench allowing the
pollutants to filter through the gravel bed back into the soil. Additionally, landscaped areas would consist
of small on -grade planters and two larger areas adjacent to the guest parking, all designed to catch
flows in order to absorb the pollutants of the first flush. The proposed project has been designed so that
all overflow would be drained through the underground system with the attached inline filters.
The following lists outline source - control BMPs (routine nonstructural and routine structural) included in
the proposed project. The project BMPs are designed to have any future pollutants be filtered directly
' into the ground, which would allow the BMPs to work naturally and avoid the need for regular
maintenance to BMPs.
Routine Nonstructural BMPs

• Protect slopes and channels and provide energy dissipation.
The following lists site- design BMPs that are included in the proposed project. The combination of paver
systems, erosion resistant plants that absorb water better, gravel side yards, and gravel trench drains
would filter pollutants naturally and would require only general property maintenance.

• Minimize impervious area/maximize permeability.
• Minimize directly connected impervious areas.
• Create reduced or "Zero Discharge" areas.
• Conserve natural areas.
• Porous pavement detention
• Porous landscape detention
• Infiltration trench
Compliance with the NPDES permitting procedures would ensure the project does not violate any water
quality standards or waste discharge requirements. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated and
no mitigation measures are necessary.

b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater
recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local
groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre - existing nearby wells would drop to a
level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been
granted)?
Less Than Significant Impact. The existing apartment complex has impervious site coverage of
approximately 86 percent by building and parking areas with no water quality control measures. The
proposed project would result in impervious site coverage of approximately 68 percent. The proposed
project would increase the pervious surface area and any groundwater recharge occurring in the project
area would be unhindered by the implementation of the project. No significant impacts would occur and
no mitigation measures are necessary.
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, In a manner which would result in a substantial
erosion or siltation on- or off -site.
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site encompasses approximately 1.49 acres and
approximately 86 percent of the project site is impervious, covered by building and parking. The current
use has no water quality measures, and the proposed project has been designed to allow drainage to be
filtered directly into the ground. The on -site paved areas would be constructed with a combination of t)
asphalt paving at driveways with groutiess paver systems to allow filtering of first flush of the driveways
and 2) patios and walks with concrete that flows to an underground drainage system equipped with an
inline perforated drain trench, allowing the pollutants to filter through the gravel bed back into the soil.
The landscaped areas consist of small on -grade planters along with two larger areas adjacent to the
guest parking, all designed to allow flow through them in order to absorb the pollutants of the first flush.
As such, all overflow would be drained through the underground system with the attached inline filters
and all private patios would also drain through the underground system. The altered drainage pattern of
the site is projected to benefit the receiving water body. The proposed project would not involve
alteration of the course of a stream or river in a manner that would result in a substantial erosion or
siltation on- or off-site. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary.
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the
alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of
surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off -site?
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site encompasses approximately 1.49 acres and
approximately 86 percent of the project site is impervious, covered by building and parking. The
proposed project would provide approximately 68 percent (44,121 square feet) of impervious surfaces
and approximately 32 percent (20,987 square feet) of landscaping. The existing drainage pattern of the
site would be altered but with the decreased impervious surface areas, the rate or amount of surface
runoff would be less than the existing condition. Additionally, as discussed in Section 3.8c, the proposed
project has been designed to allow drainage to be filtered directly into the ground. The project site is
already developed and the proposed project would not involve alteration of the course of a stream or
river or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner that would result in
flooding. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary.

3. Environmental Analysis
e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned
storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff?
' Less Than Significant Impact. The project site encompasses approximately 1.49 acres and
approximately 86 percent of the project site is covered by building and parking. Implementation of the
proposed project would minimize the on -site impervious area to 68 percent and allow for groutless paver
' system and a landscape detention system, thereby reducing the volume of urban runoff. Anticipated
urban runoff pollutants include fertilizers and pesticides, household hazardous waste such as paints,
cleaning agents, etc., pet waste; outside building and cleaning, landscaping maintenance debris, and
1 vehicle washing and repairing. Currently there are no water quality management measures on -site. As
discussed in Section 3.8c, the proposed project would provide filtering of first flush runoff waters from
driveways and landscape areas and allow pollutants from walkways and patios to filter through the
gravel bed back with an in -line perforated drain trench. Small on -grade planter along with two larger area
1 adjacent to the guest parking would allow flow through them so that they would absorb the pollutants of
the first flush. In addition, all overflows would be drained through the underground system with the
attached inline filters and all private patios would drain through the underground system.
' Potential polluted runoffs during construction would be controlled in accordance with the Construction
Staging and Water Quality Control Plan. Therefore, it is anticipated that the proposed construction will
' start only when temporary driveway, fence, and control measures have been installed. The Plan requires
construction of 24 inch deep and 16 feet wide temporary gravel pit sediment basin, entrance /outlet tire
wash, sandbag barriers, and silt fence. The off -site storm drain inlet would also be protected with gravel
bags. Development of the proposed project would not create or contribute more runoff water than the
' existing condition. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary. bVU
f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site encompasses approximately 1.49 acres and
approximately 86 percent of the project site is covered by building and parking. Implementation of the
proposed project would minimize the on -site impervious area to 68 percent and allow for porous
' pavement and a landscape detention system, thereby reducing the volume of polluted runoff.
Implementation of the proposed project would result In beneficial impact to area water quality. No
mitigation measures are necessary.
g) Place housing within a 100 -year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard
Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? .
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is not located within a 100 -year flood zone as indicated
on the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) (No. 06059C0377H)
covering the project area. The project site is located in Zone X, indicating that the area is outside of the 1
' percent annual chance floodplain, or that the area has a 1 percent annual chance of sheet flow flooding
to a depth of less than 1 foot (FEMA 2004). No significant impacts related to flooding would occur and
no mitigation measures are necessary.
Ih) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood
flows?
' Less Than Significant Impact. As mentioned above, the project site is not located within a 100 -year
flood zone, as indicated on the FIRM, and would not place any structures within a 100 -year flood hazard
area. No significant impacts would occur related to flooding and no mitigation measures are necessary.

3. Environmental Analysis 1
i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding,
including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam?
Less Than Significant Impact. According to the City of Newport Beach Emergency Management Plan '
(July 15, 2004), the City of Newport Beach is subject to flooding hazards from Prado Dam and the Big
Canyon Reservoir. In the event of failure of these structures, floodwaters from Prado Dam could inundate
large portions of the City of Newport Beach, including the project site. However, the City of Newport
Beach updated its Emergency Management Plan in 2004, which identified emergency evacuation
procedures in the event of dam failure. No mitigation measures are necessary.
j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? ,
Less Than Significant Impact. '
A seiche is a surface wave created when a body of water is shaken, usually by earthquake activity.
Seiches are of concern relative to water storage facilities because inundation from a seiche can occur if
the wave overflows a containment wall, such as the wall of a reservoir, water storage tank, dam, or other
artificial body of water.
Although there are no large water tanks in the area that could impact the project site, Prado Dam could '
inundate large portions of the City of Newport Beach. However, impacts from the Prado Dam would be
less than significant as the City of Newport Beach updated its Emergency Management Plan in 2004,
which identified emergency evacuation procedures in the event of dam failure. Additionally, dam failure
inundation zones in the City are similar to the 100 -year flood zones and the project site is located outside '
of the 100 -year flood zone.
Mudflows are landslide events in which a mass of saturated soil flows downhill as a very thick liquid. The
project site is flat and is not located along steep slopes or hillsides. The project would be required to
submit grading plans to the City of Newport Beach for review and approval. The potential for mudflow
and landslide events is considered low. Implementation of the project would not expose people or
structures to inundation by seiche or mudflows.
The tsunami threat to the City of Newport Beach is considered low to moderate. The City of Newport
Beach Emergency Management Plan indicates that local earthquakes would not generate a tsunami in
this area, and no known tsunami has ever hit the Orange County coast. Newport Beach has
southwestern facing beaches and is vulnerable to tsunamis, or more likely tidal surges, from the south
and west. Predicted wave heights for a 100 -year occurrence are:
• 4 feet minimum
• 6.6 feet average
• 9.2 feet maximum
'
Predicted wave heights for a 500 -year occurrence are:
• 6.8 feet minimum
,
• 11.4 feet average
• 16.0 feet maximum

A tsunami warning system is currently in effect as a function of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration's National Weather Service. The Emergency Management Plan identifies suggested
' evacuation routes and evacuation sites in the case of a tsunami incident. No significant impacts would
occur and no mitigation measures are necessary.
3.9 LAND USE AND PLANNING
a) Physically divide an established community.)
Less Than Significant Impact. The approximately 1.49 -acre site is currently developed with a 54 -unit
apartment complex (Las Brisas Apartments). The project site would be developed as a 24 -unit residential
community and would not physically divide an established community. No significant impacts would
occur and no mitigation measures are necessary.
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction
over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal
program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an
environmental effect?
Less Than Significant Impact. Locally- adopted land use plans, policies, or regulations that would be
applicable to the proposed project include the City of Newport Beach General Plan and the City's Local
Coastal Land Use Plan. The project site is located outside of the Airport Environs Land Use Plan for John
Wayne Airport. The General Plan designation for the project site is RM (Multiple Unit Residential) and the
project site is zoned Multiple - Family Residential (MFR). The MFR designation provides areas for single -
family, two- family, and multiple - family residential land uses. Development of 24 single- and duplex units
is consistent with the MFR designation. According to the Coastal Land Use Plan, the project site is
designated as RH -A, High Density Residential with 20.1 to 30.1 dulac. Implementation of the proposed
project would result in a density of 16.1 units per acre and would be consistent with the permitted use
and density.
The project site is located within the City's Shoreline Height Limitation Zone, which limits residential
development height to 24 to 28 feet and nonresidential development to a height of 26 to 35 feet. The
ridges of pitched roofs are permitted to exceed the height limit by 5 feet, provided that the midpoints of
the roof planes are at 28 feet. The proposed single - family units along Seashore Drive would conform to
the height limitation, with a maximum ridgeline height of 31 feet and 4 inches and midpoint height of 26
feet and 8 inches. However, duplex units along River Avenue would exceed the midpoint height
limitation, with a maximum midpoint height of 29 feet and 6 inches. However, the intent of the height
limitation zone was to regulate the visual and physical mass of structures consistent with the unique
character and visual scale of Newport Beach (Policy 4.4.2 -2 of the Coastal Land Use Plan). The existing
apartment structure has a height of 28 feet (three stories) with no breaks in building massing, and
beachfront residential units across Seashore Drive are also three stories high with narrow setbacks in-
between buildings. Therefore, views of the ocean are already compromised and the proposed project
would not substantially deviate from the existing character and visual scale of Newport Beach. As
discussed in Section 3.1a, the proposed project would not obstruct or restrict scenic vistas or public
view opportunities. Therefore, the proposed project would also be consistent with Coastal Land Use Plan
Policy 4.4.2 -3 that states: "Implement the regulation of the building envelope to reserve public views
' through the height, setback, floor area, lot coverage, and building bulk regulation of the Zoning Code in
effect as of October 13, 2005 that limit the building profile and maximize public view opportunities." The
proposed project would not conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulations. No land
use impact would result from the proposed project and no mitigation measures are necessary.

3. Environmental Analysis
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation
plan?
No Impact. The project site is not a part of any habitat conservation plan or natural community
conservation plan. No impact would result from the proposed project and no mitigation measures are
necessary.
3.10 MINERAL RESOURCES
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be a value to the
region and the residents of the state?
No Impact. The project site is developed with an apartment complex and no known mineral resources
have been identified on the project site that would be of value to the region or to the residents of the
state. No impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary.
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated
on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?
No Impact. The project site is not designated as a mineral recovery resource site, as indicated by the
Department of Conservation Mineral Resource Maps, and does not contain any mineral resource
recovery areas. No impacts would occur as a result of the proposed project. No mitigation measures are
necessary.
all NOISE
Noise is defined as unwanted sound, and is known to have several adverse effects on people, including
hearing loss, speech and sleep interference, physiological effects, and annoyance. Based on these
known adverse effects of noise, the federal government, the State of California, and many local
governments have established criteria to protect public health and safety and to prevent disruption of
certain human activities.
Characteristics of Sound
Sound is a pressure wave transmitted through the air. When an object vibrates, it radiates part of its
energy as acoustical pressure in the form of a sound wave. Sound can be described in terms of
amplitude (loudness), frequency (pitch), or duration (time). The standard unit of measurement of the
loudness of sound is the decibel (dB). The human hearing system is not equally sensitive to sound at all
frequencies. Sound waves below 16 Hz are not heard at all and are "felt" more as a vibration. Similarly,
while people with extremely sensitive hearing can hear sounds as high as 20,000 Hz, most people
cannot hear above 15,000 Hz. In all cases, hearing acuity falls off rapidly above about 10,000 Hz and
below about 200 Hz. Since the human ear is not equally sensitive to sound at all frequencies, a special
frequency - dependent rating scale is usually used to relate noise to human sensitivity. The A- weighted
decibel scale (d BA) performs this compensation by discriminating against frequencies in a manner
approximating the sensitivity of the human ear.
Because of the physical characteristics of noise transmission and noise perception, the relative loudness
of sound does not closely match the actual amounts of sound energy. Table 8, Change in Sound
Pressure Level, dB, presents the subjective effect of changes in sound pressure levels. Typical human
hearing can detect changes of approximately 3 dBA or greater under normal conditions. Changes of 1 to

3. Environmental Analysis
3 dBA are detectable under quiet, controlled conditions, and changes of less than 1 dBA are usually
indiscernible. A change of 5 dBA or greater is typically noticeable to most people in an exterior
environment and a change of 10 dBA is perceived as a doubling (or halving) of the noise.

Point and Line Sources
Noise may be generated from a point source, such as a piece of construction equipment, or from a line
source, such as a road containing moving vehicles. Because noise spreads in an ever - widening pattern,
the given amount of noise striking an object, such as an eardrum, is reduced with distance from the
source. This is known as spreading loss. The typical spreading loss for point- source noise is 6 dBA per
doubling of the distance from the noise source.
A line source of noise, such as vehicles proceeding down a roadway, would also be reduced with
distance, but the rate of reduction is affected by both distance and the type of terrain over which the
noise passes. Hard sites, such as developed areas with paving, reduce noise at a rate of 3 dBA per
doubling of the distance while soft sites, such as undeveloped areas, open space and vegetated areas
reduce noise at a rate of 4.5 dBA per doubling of the distance. These represent the extremes and most
areas would actually contain a combination of hard and soft elements with the noise reduction placed
somewhere in between these two factors. Unfortunately the only way to actually determine the absolute
amount of attenuation that an area provides is through field measurement under operating conditions
with subsequent noise level measurements conducted at varying distances from a constant noise
source.
Objects that block the line of sight attenuate the noise source if the receptor is located within the shadow
of the blockage (such as behind a sound wall). If a receptor is located behind the wall, but has a view of
the source, the wall would do little to reduce the noise. Additionally, a receptor located on the same side
of the wall as the noise source may experience an increase in the perceived noise level, as the wall
would reflect noise back to the receptor compounding the noise.
' Noise Metrics
Several rating scales (or noise. metrics) exist to analyze adverse effects of noise, including traffic-
generated noise, on a community. These scales include the equivalent noise level (L ,q), the community
noise equivalent level (CNEL), and the day /night noise level (Ldj. L,q is a measurement of the sound
energy level averaged over a specified time period.
The CNEL noise metric is based on 24 hours of measurement. CNEL differs from Lq in that it applies a
time - weighted factor designed to emphasize noise events that occur during the evening and nighttime
hours (when quiet time and sleep disturbance is of particular concern). Noise occurring during the
' Searbore Village Initial Study City of Newport Hearb • Page 77

3. Environmental Analysis
daytime period (7:00 AM to 7:00 PM) receives no penalty. Noise produced during the evening time
period (7:00 to 10:00 PM) is penalized by 5 dB, and nighttime (10:00 PM to 7:00 AM) noise is penalized
by 10 d6. The L,,, noise metric is similar to the CNEL metric except that the period from 7:00 to 10:00 PM
receives no penalty. Both the CNEL and L,,, metrics yield approximately the same 24 -hour value (within 1
dB) with the CNEL being the more restrictive (i.e., higher) of the two.
Regulatory Environment
State of California Standards
The California Department of Health Services (DHS) Office of Noise Control has studied the correlation of
noise levels and their effects on various land uses. The State of California Interior and Exterior Noise
Standards are shown in Table 9. These noise standards are incorporated as part of the California
Building Code and California Noise Insulation Standards (Titles 24 and 25 California Code of
Regulations) and are the noise standards required for new construction in California.

Land Use Compatibility standards, summarized in Table 10, to assess the compatibility of new
development with existing noise sources, such as vehicles and trains.

Table 10 identifies normally acceptable, conditionally acceptable, and clearly unacceptable noise levels
for various land uses. A conditionally acceptable designation implies new construction or development
should be undertaken only after a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements for each land
use is made and needed noise insulation features are incorporated in the design. A normally acceptable
designation indicates that standard construction can occur with no special noise reduction requirements.
For the purposes of CEQA, the City of Newport Beach has adopted the Federal Transit Administration's
(FTA) incremental traffic noise impact criteria, which becomes progressively more stringent as the
baseline traff ic noise levels increase. The City's incremental thresholds are shown in Table 11.

Stationary (Nontransportation) Noise
The City applies the Noise Control Ordinance standards (Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter
10.26.025), summarized in Table 12, to nontransportation, stationary noise sources. These standards do
not gauge the compatibility of developments in the noise environment, but provide restrictions on the
amount and duration of noise generated at a property, as measured at the property line of the noise
receptor. These noise standards do not apply to noise generated by vehicle traffic, because the state,
counties, and cities are preempted from controlling vehicle noise under federal law. The C'rys noise
ordinance is designed to protect people from objectionable nontransportation noise sources such as
music, machinery, and pumps.

Construction Noise
The City realizes that the control of construction. noise is difficult and therefore provides exemption for
this type of noise. According to the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 10.26.035,
Exemptions, noise sources associated with construction, repair, remodeling, demolition, or grading of
any real property are exempt from the noise level limits shown in the Table 12 above. Such activities shall

Construction Activity - Noise Regulations. According to this chapter, construction is permitted on
weekdays between the hours of 7:00 AM and 6:30 PM and Saturdays between the hours of 8:00 AM and
6:00 PM. Construction is not permitted on Sundays or any federal holiday.
Federal Transit Administration Vibration Criteria
The City of Newport Beach does not have specific limits or thresholds for vibration. The FTA provides
criteria for acceptable levels of groundborne vibration for various types of special buildings that are
sensitive to vibration. These criteria were used for this analysis. The human reaction to various levels of
vibration varies. The upper end of the range shown for the threshold of perception, or roughly 65 VdB,
may be considered annoying by some people. Vibration below 65 VdB may also cause secondary
audible effects such as a slight rattling of doors, suspended ceilings /fixtures, windows, and dishes, any

Existing Noise Environment
The 1.48 -acre project site is currently developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex (Las Brisas
Apartments), which includes a small on -site recreational area. Existing noise within the vicinity of the
project site includes that generated by the apartment complex, such as landscaping noise (lawnmowers,
blowers, etc.); noise generated by heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units; other on -site
stationary noise; and noise generated by the vehicle trips made by the residents. In addition, the project
Page 82 • The Planning Center February 2008
I
3. Environmental Analysis
site is surrounded by residential and recreational land uses, including a park with tennis courts and a
public beach. The existing noise environment is characteristic of a beach -side residential neighborhood.
' Certain land uses are particularly sensitive to noise and vibration. Noise- and vibration - sensitive uses
include residential land uses where quiet environments are necessary for enjoyment and public health
and safety. Residential receptors are located directly northeast, southeast, and southwest of the project
site. Other noise - sensitive land uses include the small neighborhood park located directly to the
northwest of the project site. Tennis courts within the park border the project site.
' Local Thresholds of Significance
The analysis of impacts related to noise considers the impacts of project construction and operations
noise as defined by the City of Newport Beach (for noise impacts) and the PTA (for vibration impacts).
' Based on the applicable Municipal Code and the PTA methodology, the proposed project would have a
significant adverse noise impact if the project results in any of the following.
' Noise
• Short-term construction activities occurring outside of the hours specified (weekdays from 7:00
' AM to 6:30 PM, and Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, excluding Sundays and federal
holidays) under Chapter 10.28.040 of the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code.
• Based on Policy N 1.8 of the Newport Beach General Plan, project - related traffic increases the
CNEL at any noise - sensitive receptor by an audible amount of: (1) 3 dBA or more when the
' existing CNEL is 60 dBA or less, (2) 2 dBA or more when the CNEL is between 60 and 65 dBA,
(3) 1 dBA or more when the CNEL is between 65 and 75, or (4) any amount when the CNEL
exceeds 75 dBA in the vicinity of any noise- sensitive receptors (see Table 11).
' • Project - related stationary noise would result in stationary (nontransportation) noise that exceeds
the standards of the City's Municipal Code (see Table 12) on noise - sensitive receptors.
Groundborne Vibration
• Construction equipment would produce levels of vibration that exceed the PTA's criterion for
human annoyance for infrequent events (80 VdB) at off -site vibration - sensitive structures (see
' Table 13).
• Construction equipment would produce levels of vibration that exceed the PTA criterion for
structural damage at adjacent structures (see Table 14).
a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the
local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies?
' Less Than Significant Impact The proposed project includes construction and operation of 24 new
residential units in the City of Newport Beach. Project - generated noise during the operations phase of
the project would be from project-generated traffic (mobile- source noise) and on -site operations
' (stationary- source noise). However, because the project would result in a net - reduction of trips, the
project would result in a decrease in traffic noise levels on roadways within the vicinity of the project site.
'
On-Site Stationary Noise Generation
On -site stationary- source noise generated by the 24 new residential units would be similar to the noise
generated by the existing uses and would be characterized by similar on -site stationary noise sources.
However, the new residential complex and would be constructed at a lower density than the existing
Seasbore Village Initial Study City of Newport Beacb I Page 83
3. Environmental Analysis
apartment complex and would eliminate the on -site recreation area, thereby reducing stationary- source
noise levels. Because the new residential units would replace the existing residential uses, no significant
increase in noise levels from operation of the 24 residential units would occur.
Noise Compatibility
The proposed project is located off of small collector streets within an existing residential neighborhood.
Noise generated by traffic on the adjacent River Avenue or Seashore Drive is not substantial for units
facing these small collector streets; and therefore, exterior noise levels are anticipated to comply with the
City of Newport Beach's noise compatibility criteria for new residential construction of 65 dBA CNEL
However, a small portion of the project site is located within direct line -if -sight of Pack Coast Highway
(SR -1). According to the City of Newport Beach General Plan Update (2005), SR -1 is projected to have
volumes of 50,000 vehicles per day upon General Plan buildout. Traffic noise modeling of future General
Plan buildout traffic volumes was conducted using the Federal Highway Administration's Traffic Noise
Model. Traffic noise modeling was conducted at the building exterlor, approximately 180 feet from the
centerline of Pacific Coast Highway, and took into account the approximately nine -foot tall masonry wall
adjacent to the roadway. Traffic noise at the building facade closest to SR -1 is calculated at 59.1 dBA
CNEL at the ground -floor units which is below the City's 65 dBA CNEL noise compatibility threshold for
residential uses (Appendix F).
For interior noise environments associated with the proposed project, the State of California requires that
new construction achieve a noise environment of 45 dBA CNEL Standard windows and doors in a
warm - weather climate typically achieve a minimum of 12 dBA noise reduction with windows open and a
minimum of 24 dBA reduction with windows closed (SAE 1971). Because traffic on River Avenue and
Seashore Drive is not anticipated to have substantial noise levels and ground floor units facing SR -1
would have exterior noise levels of 59 dBA CNEL (59 — 24 = 35 dBA CNEL), the interior noise
environment is anticipated to comply with the California Building Code for standard building construction
and no mitigation measures are necessary. Likewise, building facades with direct line -of -sight to SR -1,
which includes second- and third -story building facades facing the highway, would have exterior noise
levels of 67.3 dBA CNEL because they are not shielded by the noise wall, and would also comply with
the California Building Code interior noise limits (67 — 24 = 43 dBA CNEL). HVAC systems are proposed
for all units within the project site. Therefore, standard building construction would achieve the interior
noise requirements for new building construction in the state of California.
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne
noise levels?
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The proposed project would involve
demolition of the existing apartment complex and construction and operation of 24 new residential units.
The project site would not require pile driving, blasting, or other vibration - intensive activity. However,
construction equipment used during project development would produce vibration from vehicle travel as
well as grading and asphalt paving activities. Because the project is a residential complex, no significant
sources of vibration would be present during project operations.
Vibration is typically sensed at nearby structures when objects within the structure generate noise from
the vibration, such as rattling windows or picture frames. Vibration is typically not perceptible in outdoor
environments.
The project would be constructed in three development phases in order to stage construction activities.
The primary haul route for material deliveries and material haul trucks would be on River Street. A
secondary construction access point would be located on Neptune Avenue. The staging areas for

construction activities would be located on the northwestern side of the property, away from the
residential receptors. The nearest vibration - sensitive uses are residential structures approximately eight
feet from where construction of the building pad of southernmost building would occur and four feet
from the property line for two residential units constructed in Phases 1 and 3. However, the majority of
construction activities would occur farther away for demolition activities and construction of the other
residential buildings. In addition, it is anticipated that construction activities would involve removal of the
existing asphalt pavement to the property line. Table 15 lists the average and maximum levels vibration
that would be experienced at the nearest vibration sensitive structures. The maximum vibration level is
associated with the highest levels of vibration if the construction equipment was operating directly
adjacent to the property line. Because the majority of the time construction activities would be spread
throughout the project site, impacts are based on whether or not average vibration levels (i.e., vibration
levels that would be experience by sensitive receptors the majority of the time) would exceed the FTA
criterion.

' Determined based on use of jackhammers or pneumatic hammers that may be used for pavement demolition at a distance of 25 feet
' Maximum vibration levels based on proximity of the residential homes to the material haul route on River Street Because vibration levels
from loaded trucks are a brief pass -by event and are not sustained vibration levels, the FfA significance threshold for vibration annoyance is
not applicable but is shown for informational purposes only.
The FTA has established vibration levels for vibration - induced structural damage. For wood -framed
residential construction, the threshold is 0.20 inch per second for the PPV. Due to the scale of the
proposed project and limited maneuverability on -site, it is assumed that construction activities
associated with demolition of the existing structures would not require very large construction equipment
' such as scrapers or large bulldozers and therefore vibration levels would not cause structural damage.
However, use of a jackhammer near the boundary of the site could generate levels of vibration that could
be perceptible and are at the limits for minor architectural damage for wood - framed residential structures
' (i.e., plaster cracks). To ensure that even minor architectural damage would not occur, alternative
demolition methods would be required for removal of asphalt within eight feet of the residential units
directly to the southeast of the project site.
�I
Seashore Village Initial Study City of Neuport Beach • Page 85
3. Environmental Analysis
The FTA criterion for vibration - induced annoyance is 80 Vibration Velocity (VdB) for residential uses for
infrequent events, such as construction activities. Construction of the project would generate average
levels of vibration that would not exceed the FTA criteria for nuisance for residential uses nearest the
project site. While vibration would be perceptible when construction is operating in close proximity to the
property line, the majority of heavy construction activities would be operating at farther distances. In
addition, heavy construction equipment would only be in operation for a short period of time during
project - related grading activities. Consequently, no significant impacts would occur from typical
construction activities.
Mitigation Measure
6. Demolition of the existing asphalt with a jackhammer within eight feet of the existing
residential structures to the southeast of the site shall be prohibited. The construction
contractor shall utilize alternative asphalt demolition methods such as a concrete saws and
other nonvibratory construction equipment to remove the pavement.
c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels In the project vicinity above levels
existing without the project?
Less Than Significant Impact. As noted in response 3.11 a, the project would not substantially increase
ambient noise levels at residential uses in the vicinity of the project due to stationary-source or mobile -
sources noise generated by the 24 residential units. Impacts would be less than significant.
d) A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity
above levels existing without the project?
Less Than Significant Impact. Noise levels associated with construction activities would be higher than
the ambient noise levels in the project area today, but would subside once construction of the proposed
project is completed. Two types of noise impacts could occur during the construction phase. First, the
transport of workers and equipment to the construction site would incrementally increase noise levels
along site access roadways. Even though there would be a relatively high single -event noise exposure
potential with passing trucks (a maximum noise level of 86 dBA at 50 feet), the expected number of
workers and trucks is small relative to the background traffic. The truck trips would be spread out
throughout the workday and would primarily occur during nonpeak traffic periods. Therefore, these
impacts are less than significant at noise receptors along the construction routes, and no mitigation
measures are necessary.
The second type of impact is related to noise generated by on -site construction operations, and local
residents would be subject to elevated noise levels due to the operation of on -site construction
equipment. Construction activities are carried out in discrete steps, each of which has its own mix of
equipment, and consequently its own noise characteristics. These various sequential phases would
change the character of the noise levels surrounding the construction site as work progresses.
Construction noise levels reported in Noise from Construction Equipment and Operations, Building
Equipment, and Home Appliances, were used to estimate future construction noise levels for the
proposed project (USEPA 1971). Typically, the estimated construction noise levels are governed
primarily by the highest noise - producing pieces of equipment. Table 16 presents typical noise levels
generated from project construction sites during various construction phases from the nearest noise -
sensitive uses, which include the adjacent residences and the neighborhood park.

Construction staging areas would be located on the northwestern portions of the site, farther away from
residential noise - sensitive receptors but adjacent to the tennis court area within the small neighborhood
park. Due to the scale of the proposed project and limited maneuverability on -site, it is assumed that
construction activities associated with demolition of the existing structures would not require very large
construction equipment, such as scrapers or large bulldozers. In addition, construction of the project
would take 18 months and noise generated by construction activities would cease once construction is
completed. Average construction noise levels from typical construction equipment range from 73 to 80
dBA at the nearest sensitive receptors. Residential interior noise levels could be reduced by over 24 dBA
from this value (SAE 1971). Furthermore, the project must abide by the most restrictive construction
hours applied by the City of Newport Beach. According to the City of Newport Beach's Municipal Code,
construction equipment shall not be operated weekdays between the hours of 6:30 PM and 7:00 AM,
and Saturdays between the hours of 6:00 PM and 8:00 AM, excluding federal holidays. Impacts are
therefore less than significant.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been
adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose
people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
No Impact. The John Wayne Airport is the closest airport to the project site. However, the project is
located outside of the 60 dBA CNEL and 65 dBA CNEL noise contours, as shown on the John Wayne
Airport 2006 Annual 60, 65, 70 and 75 CNEL Noise Contours. Therefore, no impacts would occur from
exposure of persons to significant levels of aircraft noise as a result of the proposed project, and no
mitigation measures are necessary.
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing
or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
No Impact. There are no private airstrips located within the vicinity of the project site. Therefore, no
impacts would occur from exposure to airport noise as a result of the proposed project, and no
mitigation measures are necessary.

3.12 POPULATION AND HOUSING
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new
homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other
Infrastructure)?
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is currently developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex
in a residential neighborhood. Development of 24 single and duplex units would not induce substantial
population growth in the area directly or indirectly. No growth impact would result from the proposed
project and no mitigation measures are necessary.
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project involves demolition of a 54 -unit apartment
complex and development of 24 single - family and duplex units, a reduction of 30 units. The 2006
American Community Survey (Census 2007) estimates that there are 43,851 housing units the City of
Newport Beach, with 5,462 vacant units. The total vacancy rate for the City is 12.5 percent -7.7 percent
rental vacancy rate and 2.1 percent homeowner vacancy rate. Displacement of 30 multrfamily rental units
would not necessitate the construction of replacement housing elsewhere, since there are existing rental
units to absorb the proposed displaced housing units. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant
and no mitigation measures are necessary.
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project involves demolition of a 54 -unit apartment
complex and would result in displacement of approximately 122 residents (based on average household
size of 2.25). The recently approved General Plan would allow substantial numbers of new residential
units to be constructed in areas where residential was not previously permitted and would commit the
City to enforcing the requirements of its inclusionary housing program, which requires a proportion of
affordable housing in new residential developments or payment of an in -lieu fee. The City's goal is that
an average of 15 percent of all new residential development will be affordable to very low -, low -, and
moderate - income households. In order to implement this Housing Element policy, the City Council has
also established an Affordable Housing Task Force that works with developers and landowners to
facilitate the development of affordable units and identifies the most appropriate use of in -lieu fee funds.
The Task Force and staff continually investigate and research potential affordable housing opportunities.
The project developer is required to comply with the California Government Code Section 65590 and
65590.1, commonly known as the 1982 Mello Act. The Mello Act is a statewide law which seeks to
preserve housing for persons and families with low and moderate incomes in California's Coastal Zone.
The Mello Act stipulates that the conversion or demolition of existing residential dwelling units occupied
by persons and families of low or moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety
Code, shall not be authorized unless provision has been made for the replacement of those dwelling
units with units for persons and families of low or moderate income. However, it should be noted that the
Mello Act contains exemptions whereby a project can be relieved of the replacement requirement if
replacement is not feasible.
Additionally, according to the Apartment Guide, a popular website and periodic publication that provides
property specific rental information throughout country (http: / /www.apartmentguide.com), the current

rent for the existing apartments (Las Brisas Apartments) start at $1,650 for one bed and one bath unit
and $2,200 for two bed and one bath unit. Another website, www.apartmentratings.com show rental
prices in the City of Newport Beach: it identifies average rent for two -bed and two -bath unit as $2,137 in
year 2007. While the presented information may not be 100 percent reliable, it provides snapshots of
current rental market in Newport Beach. There are approximately 5,462 vacant units within the City, of
which approximately 3,377 units are rental units. There are adequate vacant housing units in the City to
accommodate the 122 residents displaced by the proposed project. Based on available rentals at
comparable rates, the City's commitment to providing affordable housing units in the City, and project
compliance with the Government Code Section 65590 and 65590.1 as required, impacts would be less
than significant and no mitigation measures are necessary.
3.13 PUBLIC SERVICES
Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or
physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the
construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable
service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services:
a) Fire protection
Less Than Significant Impact. The City of Newport Beach is served by the Newport Beach Fire
Department. The Newport Beach Fire Department operates eight stations in the City of Newport Beach.
The fire department is divided into four divisions: Operations, Fire Prevention, Training, and
Administrative. Each of the eight fire stations has one engine company, three have paramedic vans, and
two have ladder trucks. Each engine or truck company has a staff of three persons per 24 -hour period:
one captain, one engineer (driver), and one fire fighter, with the exception that on one engine the
firefighter position is staffed with a paramedic firefighter. Each paramedic ambulance has a staff of two
firefighter - paramedics per 24 -hour period. Station 2, the closest station to the project site, is located at
475 32ntl Street, approximately 1.2 driving miles east of the project site. Station 2 is equipped with one
fire engine, one ladder truck, and one paramedic ambulance. The fire department's average response
time to any area in the City is approximately five minutes.
The project site is currently developed with the higher density multifamily residential units and the
proposed project would decrease the on -site density. Therefore, the proposed project would not have a
substantial adverse impact on the fire department's ability to serve the project site. Additionally, all
development projects within the City of Newport Beach are required to comply with the most current
adopted Uniform Fire Code and other City standards and ordinances. During the building permitting
process, the Newport Beach Fire Department would review and approve development plans associated
with the proposed project to ensure that they provided adequate access, traffic circulation, water, and
hydrant systems to support fire department needs. Therefore, project implementation is not anticipated
to have a signif icant impact on fire services and no mitigation measures are necessary.
b) Police protection
Less Than Significant Impact. Law enforcement services for the City of Newport Beach are provided by
the Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD), located at 870 Santa Barbara Drive. As of November
2005, the NBPD employed a total of 280 personnel, including 148 sworn officers. The NBPD is currently
separated into three divisions (Support Services, Patrol/Traffic, and Detectives), all of which are overseen
by the Office of the Chief of Police.
' Searbore Village Initial Study City of Neuport Beacb • Page 89

3. Environmental Analysis
The proposed residential project would replace the existing 54 -unit apartment complex with 24 single
and duplex units. Therefore, the proposed project would actually reduce the police service demand
generated from the project site. In 2005, approximately 85,120 residents lived in the City with the police
staffing ratio of 1.7 officers per 1,000 population. Based on the 2006 population of 86,820 total
population in the City, a reduction of units from 54 to 24 would not result in changes to the existing
staffing ratio. The City's General Plan specifies the staffing goal of 1.9 officers per 1,000 residents. No
significant impact would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary.
c) Schools
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project would result in reduction of residential units from
54 to 24. Therefore, the proposed project would not have a significant adverse impact on school
facilities. Additionally, California Educational Code Section 17620 authorizes school districts to collect
fees for the mitigation of new development projects. These fees are collected by the relevant school
district prior to City issuance of building permits for new development: The project applicant would be
required to pay developer fees to the Newport-Mesa Unified School District to reduce any impacts to the
school system. Government Code Section 65595 establishes the allowable school impact fee, which
may be assessed on commercial and residential development. Based on the current fee structure for
residential developments, construction can be assessed per square foot. Payment of school impact fees
is considered sufficient to mitigate any potential impacts to schools that may occur. No mitigation
measures are necessary.
d) Parks
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is located in Service Area 1 in the Recreation and Open
Space Plan of the General Plan. Although the City's Recreation Element indicates that Service Area 1 is
currently underserved by parkland, the proposed project would result in net decrease in dwelling units.
Furthermore, there are eight parks in this service area and West Newport Park is the nearest park to the
project site, located immediately adjacent to the project site to the north. Additionally, Sunset Ridge Park
is proposed to be developed on the north side of Pacific Coast Highway at Superior Avenue,
approximately 0.5 mile to the southeast. According to the City's General Plan, the City has approximately
286 acres of developed parks and approximately 90 acres of active beach recreation acreage, for a total
of 376.8 acres. Newport Beach's parklands range in size from mini -parks such as the Lower Bay Park
(0.1 acre) to the 47.6 -acre Bonita Canyon Sports Park.
In addition to the West Newport Park immediately adjacent to the project site, the project's proximity to
the beach would ensure that the proposed project is not underserved by recreational opportunities. The
proposed project would also provide some private outdoor areas.
The proposed project is not subject to provisions set forth in Chapter 19.52 Park Dedications and Fees of
the Municipal Code since the project would not result in a net increase in dwelling units. The proposed
project would not create additional demands for parks and adequate open space demands would be
met through the existing and planned parks and through the beach, one of the City's greatest open
space assets. Therefore, park impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures are
necessary.
e) Other public facilities
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site and its surrounding area are developed with urban uses
and with easily accessible existing public facilities. The proposed residential project would not result in
Page 90 • The Planning Center February 2008 1
' 3. Environmental Analysis
substantial adverse impacts to any other public facilities. No significant impacts would result from the
development of the proposed project and no mitigation measures are necessary.
3.14 RECREATION
a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other
recreational facilities, such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or
be accelerated?
' Less Than Significant Impact. The project as proposed is to construct 24 residential units on a 1.49 -
acre parcel currently developed with an apartment complex. The number of new users at existing
neighborhood or regional parks resulting from the proposed project would not produce substantial
physical deterioration of recreational facilities. No mitigation measures are necessary.
' b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of
recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment?
' Less Than Significant Impact. Development of the proposed project would result in a reduction of units
from 54 to 24. Although no recreational facilities have been proposed as part of the 24 -unit residential
' project, the recreational facilities demand would decrease compared to the existing uses. It is anticipated
that existing recreational facilities within the City would be able to accommodate the increase in demand.
The proposed project would have a less than significant physical effect on the environment and no
mitigation measures are necessary.
' 3.15 TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC
' a) Cause an Increase in traffic, which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and
capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of
vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)?
' Less Than Significant Impact. The project trip generation was calculated using the Institute of Traffic
Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (7th edition, 2003), as shown in Table 17. The proposed project
is anticipated to result in a net reduction of 178 average daily trips (ADT) in comparison to the number of
' trips estimated to be generated by the existing apartment use. The proposed project consists of 12
single - family units and 12 condo/townhouse (duplex) units; therefore, is anticipated to generate a total of
185 ADT. Since the project site is currently developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex that generates
' approximately 363 ADT, implementation of the proposed project would result in a net decrease of 178
ADT and the impacts would be less than significant. A project that generates fewer than 300 ADT is not
subject under the City Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) and a project - speck traffic study is not
warranted. No mitigation measures are necessary.

Table 17
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the
county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project would result in a net reduction of 178 ADTs. The
City of Newport Beach does not require the TPO analysis for projects that generate less than 30o ADTs.
The proposed project would not cause the county congestion management agency's level of service
standards to be exceeded. The proposed project would have a less than significant impact and no
mitigation measures are necessary.
c) Result in a change In air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a
change in location that results In substantial safety risks?
No Impact. The proposed project involves redevelopment of a 54 -unit apartment complex to 24 single
and duplex residential units. The proposed project would result in a decrease in traffic levels and would
not result in a change in air traffic patterns. John Wayne Airport is the nearest airport to the project site,
located approximately 1.5 miles from the site and the proposed project would not impact the air traffic
pattern of this airport. No significant impacts would occur and no mitigation measures would be
required.
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous
Intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
Less Than Significant Impact. Access to the project would be provided from River Avenue and
Neptune Avenue. There are no sharp turns or incompatible uses in the vicinity of the project site. A total
of three driveways would access the project site, two from River Avenue and one from Neptune Avenue.
The western driveway on River Avenue would serve one single - family residential unit exclusively. The
proposed project would not significantly change the existing on -site traffic pattern and since it would
result in a net decrease in traffic volume, any hazards due to a design feature would be unlikely. The
internal circulation system of the project provides proper access to individual units and guest parking
with clear visibility. The project site access would be subject to approval by the City's fire and police
departments for safety. No conflicts with the internal access system are anticipated. No mitigation
measures are necessary.

te)
Result in inadequate emergency access?
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site would have egress and ingress from two streets, River
'
Avenue and Neptune Avenue. These access points and street widths would provide adequate
emergency access into and out of the project site. Additionally, the proposed project would be required
to incorporate all applicable design and safety requirements as set forth in the UBC, Fire Code, and
Newport Beach Fire and Police Department standards and requirements. For example, prior to final site
'
plan approval for each phase of the project, the City of Newport Beach would coordinate with the fire
and police departments to ensure that adequate circulation and access is provided within the traffic and
'
circulation components of the proposed project. Therefore, impacts related to emergency access would
not occur and no mitigation measures are necessary.
f) Result in Inadequate parking capacity?
'
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed 24 units each include a two -car garage and 13 guest
parking spaces, providing a total of 60 parking spaces. City of Newport Beach Municipal Code 20.66.040,
Parking Standards for Residential Districts, requires at least one parking space for each dwelling unit for
'
residential districts. Therefore, the proposed project would provide a surplus of 36 spaces and would not
result in inadequate parking capacity. No mitigation measures are necessary.
'
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g.,
bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
'
No Impact. The proposed project would not conflict with adopted policies supporting alternative
transportation. Public transportation is readily available in and around the project area. No significant
93
Impacts would occur and no mitigation measures are necessary.
'
3.16 UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
a) Exceed waste water treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control
Board?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project consists solely of residential uses. The project site
is already developed with higher density residential uses and implementation of the proposed project
'
would not change the sewer quality. It would not include industrial uses and would not be subject to
wastewater treatment requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. No mitigation is
required.
'
b) Require or result in the construction of new water or waste water treatment facilities or
expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
'
environmental effects?
Less Than Significant Impact Water and wastewater service to the project she are currently being
provided by the City of Newport Beach.
Water
'
The project site is within the City of Newport Beach water service area. The City provides water service to
approximately 36 square miles of its planning area. The City water supplies are imported water
purchased from the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWD), groundwater pumped from the
1
Seashore Village Initial Study City of Newport Beach • Page 93
'
3. Environmental Analysis 1
Orange County Groundwater Basin, and reclaimed water. Water is delivered via existing transmission '
mains and distribution lines totaling over 210 miles within the City's service area. Transmission mains
convey water to various sections of the distribution system and the distribution lines deliver water to local ,
areas. There is a water main along River Avenue serving the existing 54 -unit apartment complex.
The City's imported surface water supply is treated at one of two treatment plants: (1) the MWD Diemer ,
Filtration Plant, located in Yorba Linda; or (2) MWD's Weymouth Filtration Plant, which is located in the
San Gabriel Valley. Treatment capacity at the Diemer Filtration Plant is approximately 520 million gallons
per day (mgd), with existing average winter flows at approximately 140 mgd, increasing to approximately
375 mgd in the summer. '
Using the sewer generation factor of 370 gallons per day (gpd), and assuming water generation would
be 110 percent of sewer generation, the proposed project is projected to generate the demand for '
approximately 9,768 gpd of water. The project site currently generates the demand for approximately
12,652 gpd (based on 110 percent of 213 gpd sewer generation rate for multifamily residential units).
Implementation of the proposed project would result in a net decrease in demand of 2,884 gpd. The
existing water infrastructure is currently serving the higher density development, so, no expansion of '
water infrastructure would be necessary.
Wastewater '
Wastewater from the City's sewer system is treated by the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD).
The OCSD is responsible for safely collecting, treating, and disposing the wastewater generated by 2.3 ,
million people living in a 470 - square -mile area of central and northwest Orange County. The City of
Newport Beach is in Revenue Area 5, the smallest service area for OCSD. The City represents 2.57
percent of OCSD's service area population and generates 4 percent of OCSD's total flow.
The two sewage water treatment plants operated by the OSCD are Treatment Plant No. 2 in Huntington '
Beach and Reclamation Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley. A majority of the City's sewage flow is pumped to
the OCSD Plant No. 2, while flows from the portion of the City north of the Corona del Mar (73) Freeway '
are pumped to Plant No. 1. The OCSD Reclamation Plant No. 1 currently maintains a design capacity of
174 mgd and treats an average of 90 mgd.
Treatment Plant No. 2 maintains a design capacity of 276 mgd and currently treats on average a flow of '
153 mgd. Currently Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 are operating at 52 percent and 55 percent of design
capacity, respectively. Wastewater treated by the OCSD is discharged into the ocean through a 120 -
inch- diameter ocean outfall pipe that extends five miles offshore to a discharge point 180 feet below the ,
ocean surface. The treatment levels meet all current state and federal requirements. OCSD also reclaims
up to 10 million gallons of treated wastewater every day, which is sent for further processing and then
used for landscape irrigation and for injection into the groundwater seawater intrusion barrier. '
The project site currently generates approximately 11,502 gpd of wastewater based on the sewer
generation factor for multifamily residential unit as identified in the City of Newport Beach General Plan
EIR. Implementation of the proposed project would result in approximately 8,880 gpd, by using 370 '
gpd /du sewer generation factor for single - family residential unit. Therefore, the proposed project would
result in a net decrease of 2,622 gpd. However, assuming that the existing residents relocate to other
parts of the City boundary, the proposed project would generate additional demand on the overall sewer '
treatment capacity.

3. Environmental A
The proposed 24 units would generate a total of 8,880 gallons per day of wastewater, which would
comprise approximately 0.005 percent of the OCSD's average treatment volume and approximately
0.003 percent of the total treatment capacity. With the contribution of such a small percentage of the
capacity of OCSD's facilities, construction of the proposed project would not result in the construction or
expansion of existing facilities. Impacts from development of the proposed project would be less than
significant. No mitigation measures are necessary.
c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of
existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects?
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is currently about 95 percent impervious and the
proposed project involves design features that would reduce the on -site impervious coverage area to 45
percent. In addition, the proposed project would implement various BMP measures to detain stormwater
on -site. Implementation of the proposed project would have beneficial impact compared to the existing
use. The proposed project would not require or result in the construction of new stormwater drainage
facilities or expansion of existing facilities. Impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation
measures are necessary.
d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and
resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed?
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is currently connected to the City of Newport Beach
water system, which supplies services to the existing buildings on the project site. The City provides
water service to approximately 36 square miles of its planning area.
The City water supplies are imported water purchased from the Municipal Water District of Orange
County (MWDOC), groundwater pumped from the Orange County Groundwater Basin, and reclaimed
water. Reclaimed water is used only for irrigation purposes and approximately 75 percent of the City's
potable water is supplied by the Orange County Groundwater Basin and the remaining 25 percent of the
potable water supply is from the imported sources.
The project is not expected to require an unusual amount of water for proposed operations. Assuming
110 percent of the sewer generation factor of 370 gpd, the proposed project is projected to generate the
demand for approximately 9,768 gpd. The project site currently generates the demand for approximately
12,652 gpd. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would result in a net decrease in
demand of 2,884 gpd.
During the building permitting process the fire flow requirements would be submitted and the capacity of
the existing water distribution system to supply the peak flow rate will be checked.
The proposed project would not require the procurement of additional water entitlement. No significant
environmental impacts would occur as a result of the proposed project. No mitigation measures are
necessary.
e) Result in a determination by the waste water treatment provider, which serves or may serve
the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to
the provider's existing commitments?
Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is currently connected to the City's sewer system. As
discussed in Section 3.16 (b), the existing facilities are anticipated to have the capacity to accommodate
Searbore Village Initial Study City of Negort Beacb • Page 95
ffl
3. Environmental Analysis
the proposed project. The proposed project would not require expansion of any wastewater treatment
facilities and therefore would have no physical impacts related to wastewater treatment facilities. No
mitigation measures are necessary.
f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid
waste disposal needs?
Less Than Significant Impact. Orange County has three landfills that could receive waste generated
from the proposed project. The Olinda Alpha Landfill, located in the City of Brea, is authorized to receive
an annual average of 7,000 tons of waste per day (tpd) and is permitted to receive a daily maximum of
8,000 tpd. The landfill opened in 1960 and is scheduled to close in 2013. The Frank R. Bowerman
Landfill, located in the City of Irvine, is currently authorized to receive an annual average of 7,015 tpd and
is permitted to receive a daily maximum of 8,500 tpd. The Frank R. Bowerman Landfill is scheduled to
close in approximately 2024. The Prima Descheta Landfill, located in the City of San Juan Capistrano, is
permitted to accept up to 4,000 tpd. This landfill is scheduled to close in approximately 2040.
The proposed project would not generate significant amounts of solid waste. The total household waste
disposal for the City of Newport Beach in 2005 was 33,478 tons per year, or approximately 21 percent of
overall disposal. Based on the resident daily disposal factor of 2 Ibs per resident per day, the proposed
project would generate 108 Ibs per day or 39,420 Ibs per year (19.71 tons). The solid waste generated
by the proposed project would contribute approximately 0.06 percent of the total household waste
disposal and even smaller percent in comparison to the City's overall disposal amount. The increase in
solid waste generated by the proposed project would be minimal and no additional capacity would be
necessary. There is sufficient solid waste disposal capacity in the region to accommodate the expected
solid waste generation by the proposed project. Project - related impacts on solid waste disposal capacity
would be less than significant.
The proposed demolition of the existing structures would generate construction waste on a short-term
basis. It is anticipated that these demolition /construction wastes would be taken to authorized landfills.
Since hazardous materials are not accepted at county landfills, hazardous wastes, including abated
asbestos containing materials and paints used during construction, would be disposed only at facilities
permitted to receive them and in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. No mitigation
measures are necessary.
g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project would comply with all federal, state, and local
statutes and regulations related to solid waste. The proposed project would also comply with the City's
established reduction, reuse, and recycling programs. Additionally, through the City's Development
Impact Fee System, fees would be collected from the development of the proposed project to ensure
that the project pays its fair share of future expansions of City solid waste collection facilities and
equipment. No impacts would occur as a result of the proposed project and no mitigation measures are
necessary.

' 3. Environmental Analysis
' 3.17 MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially
' reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below
self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate Important examples of
the major periods of California history or prehistory?
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The proposed project is currently
developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex and does not support the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species. Implementation of the proposed project would not impact any protected biological resources.
Although the project site has been disturbed in the past and the potential for discovery of examples of
the major periods of California history or prehistory is minimal, the potential for subsurface discovery
' remains and has been mitigated to a less than significant level. No further mitigation measures are
necessary.
' b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
("Cumulatively considerable' means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable
when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current
' projects, and the effects of probable future projects.)
Less Than Significant Impact. As discussed in the respective issue areas of this study, the proposed
project would not have cumulatively considerable environmental impacts. Any potentially significant
' impact would be mitigated to a level of less than significant. The project would have no cumulatively
considerable environmental impacts.
' c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. The Initial Study reviewed the proposed
' project's potential impacts related to aesthetics, air pollution, noise, heath and safety, traffic, and other
issues. As discussed in the respective sections of this Initial Study, implementation of the proposed
project would result in potentially significant impacts in the areas of air quality, cultural resources,
t geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, and noise, which may cause adverse effects on
human beings. However, feasible mitigation measures have been identified to reduce these impacts to
less than significant levels. Therefore, the proposed project would have no substantial adverse effects on
human beings. No further mitigation measures are necessary.

' Ms. Hadfield:
' In response to your request, McKenna et al. completed a standard archaeological
records check through the California State University, Fullerton, South Central
Coastal Information Center. We also completed a limited amount of research
' through the Orange County Assessor's Office and confirmed the date of
construction for the existing complex at 5515 River Avenue, Newport Beach (APN
424 - 471 -03).
' Assessor Data:
' The County Assessor data identified the existing building as a multi- family complex
on an irregularly shaped parcel of 63,597 square feet. The initial construction was
completed in 1972, rendering the building modern and of no historical
' significance. A formal evaluation of the structure is not required, given the relative
age of only 35 years. Supporting documentation is attached.
' Archaeological Records Check:
The proposed project area is located at 5515 River Avenue, Newport Beach, and
can be seen on the attached maps and aerial photograph. The property is located
between River Avenue Seashore Drive and west of Neptune Avenue. The Assessor
data shows the property as consisting of 1.46 acres.

The archaeological records check was designed to address the project area and a
one mile radius around the project area. Because of the proximity of the property
to the Pacific Ocean frontage, the research emphasized areas to the north, east, and
south of the project area. Research identified a minimum of twenty-six projects
within one mile, including the following:
Archaeological Associates (1978)
Archaeological Planning Collaborative (1979)
Archaeological Resource Management Corporation (1981 and 1983)
Billat (2007)
Bissell (2000)
Boxt and Barretta (1992)
Demcak (2002)
Drover and Smith (1999 and 2000)
Langenwalter and Brock (1985)
Larry Seeman Associates, Inc. (1981)
Leonard (1975a and b)
LSA (1983a and b)
Padon(2001)
Padon and Breece (1989)
Pettus (1991)
Romani (1982a and b)
Scientific Resource Surveys (1978a -c)
Scientific Resource Surveys (1979)
Steele (1982)
None of these studies involved the current project area and none are adjacent to
the project area. The nearest studies are those of Pettus (1991), involving a
portion of the Pacific Ocean to the southwest of the project area, and Drover and
Smith (1999), addressing the Newport Banning Ranch. Smaller surveys have been
completed within one quarter mile, but all to the north/northeast of Pacific Coast
Highway.
As a result of the studies cited above, a minimum of eleven archaeological sites
have been recorded within one mile of the project area, including:
CA- ORA -59 thru 72 (Pilling 1949; Nelson n.d.)
CA- ORA -60 (Nelson n.d.)
CA -ORA -357 (Elliott 1973)

' All of these sites are located north of Pacific Coast Highway and none will be
impacted by any project within the current study area. The nearest sites are CA-
ORA -148, and cA -ORA -1599 thru CA -ORA -1602, all of which cluster north of Pacific
' Coast Highway and approximately one quarter mule north of the current project
area. Each of these sites was identified as being of prehistoric origin. These sites
are all small and none are expected to extent into or even near the current study
' area. The project area and surrounding properties were developed without the
benefit of an archaeological investigation and, therefore, no data is available to
ascertain the general level of sensitivity for similar resources to be present.
' Nonetheless, the Newport Beach coastal area is generally considered sensitive for
prehistoric archaeological resources, especially in areas between the Santa Ana
River and Newport Bay. Therefore, despite earlier disturbances, the project area
' should be considered moderately sensitive for prehistoric archaeological resources.
A review of historic maps (USGS Santa Ana Quadrangles of .1896 and 1901, rev.
' 1945) illustrated the presence of the Southern Pacific Smeltzer Branch Railroad
alignment passing relatively close to the project area (ca. 1901 - 1945), but long
gone by the time the 1965 USGS Newport Beach Quadrangle was prepared. Evid-
ence of the historic railroad alignment may be identified within or near the current
project area and, therefore, the area should be considered moderately sensitive for
historic archaeological resources.
tSummary:
' The Seashore Village project area has not been previously surveyed for cultural
resources and the existing structure dates to 1972, rendering it a modern resource.
Research showed that there is a moderate level of sensitivity for both prehistoric
' and historic archaeological resources. Although the .property is currently deve-
loped, evidence of prehistoric use of the area may still be present in a buried con-
text. To insure accurate and adequate identification of any such resources,
' McKenna et al. would recommend that any project that involves the demolition of
the existing structure include an archaeological monitoring program.

Demolition of the existing building does not need to be monitored. However, once '
demolition is completed to ground level, an archaeological monitor should be on-
site to oversee any ground disturbing activities that may yield evidence of buried
resources. If evidence of such resources is identified, a Native American monitor or '
Gabrielino (or Juaneno) descent should be added to the overall monitoring pro-
gram.
The monitoring program should include provisions for handling any human '
remains that are determined to be of prehistoric or Native American origin,
including notification of the Orange County Coroner and the Native American ,
Heritage Commission, Sacramento.
The extent and duration of the monitoring program can be determined in con- ,
sultation between the project proponent, the City of Newport Beach, the archaeo-
logical consultant, and the local Native American representative (to be determined
at a later date). '

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
PROPOSED 24 -UNIT RESIDENTIAL
COMPLEX LOCATED AT
5515 RIVER AVE
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA
In response to your request and in accordance with the Uniform Building Code and the City
of Newport Beach building requirements, we have completed a preliminary geotechnical
investigation at the subject site located at 5515 River Avenue in the City of Newport Beach,
California (see Site Location Map, Figure 1).
The purpose of our investigation was to evaluate the existing geotechnical conditions at
the subject site and provide recommendations and geotechnical parameters for site
development, earthwork, and foundation design for the proposed residential construction.
We were also requested to evaluate the potential for on -site geotechnical hazards. This
report presents the results of our findings, as well as our conclusions and
recommendations.
SCOPE OF STUDY
The scope of our investigation included the following tasks:
• Review of readily available published and unpublished reports;
• Geologic reconnaissance and mapping;
• Excavation and sampling of six (6) exploratory borings to total depths of up to
10 feet below existing grade (b.g.);
• .Laboratory testing of representative samples obtained from the exploratory
borings;
• Engineering and geologic analysis including liquefaction analysis and
seismicity coefficients in accordance with the 2001 CBC;

Preparation of this report presenting our findings, conclusions, and
recommendations.
GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS
The subject property is a semi - rectangular shaped lot located at 5515 RiverAvenue in the
City of Newport Beach, County of Orange, California (see Site Location Map, Figure 1).
For the purpose of clarity in this report, the lot is bound by West Newport Park and tennis
courts to the west, by River Avenue to the north, by Seashore Drive to the south, and by
mufti- tenant single family dwellings to the east (see Figure 1).
The subject property consists of a relatively flat, planar lot with no significant slopes on or
adjacent to the site.
Currently, the lot is occupied by a three -story structure, 54 -unit Apartment Complex known
as the "Las Brisas Apartments ". Exterior improvements include asphalt parking areas,
brick and wood fences and a common area swimming pool. The existing structures and
common areas are shown in the Plot Plan, Figure 2.
PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
It is our understanding that the proposed re- development shall include the construction of
a new mufti - tenant residential complex including three -story single family dwellings and
duplexes with attached garages. At this date, a total of 24 units are planned (12 stand-
alone structures and 6 duplex structures).
The proposed structures shall consist of slab -on -grade buildings with perimeter continuous
footings.
The proposed building layouts are shown in Figure 3, attached.
We assume that the proposed buildings will consist of wood -frame and masonry block
construction or building materials of similar type and load. The building foundations will
consist of a combination of isolated and continuous spread footings. Loads on the footings
are unknown, but are expected to be less than 2500 and 1800 pounds per square foot on
the isolated and continuous footings, respectively. If actual loads exceed these assumed
values, we should be contacted to evaluate whether revisions of this report are necessary.
It is our understanding that the grade of the site is not expected to vary significantly, with
maximum regrades consisting of approximately 2 to 3 feet in the building areas.

SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
Our subsurface exploration consisted of the excavation of six (6) exploratory borings (B -1
through B -6) to a maximum depth of 10 feet below grade (b.g.). Representative bulk and
relatively undisturbed soil samples were obtained for laboratory testing. Geologic logs of
the soil borings are included in Appendix A,
The borings were continuously logged by a registered geologistfrom our firm who obtained
soil samples forgeotechnicai laboratory analysis. The approximate locations of the borings
are shown on Figure 2, Plot Plan.
Geotechnical soil samples were obtained using a modified California sampler filled with 2
3/e Inch diameter, 1 -inch tall brass rings. Bulk samples were obtained by collecting
representative bore hole cuttings. Locations of geotechnical samples and other data are
presented on the boring logs in Appendix A.
The soils were visually classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System.
Classifications are shown on the boring logs included in Appendix A.
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory testing was performed on representative soil samples obtained during our
subsurface exploration. The following tests were performed:
* Dry Density and Moisture Content
(ASTM: D 2216
* Maximum Dry Density and Optimum Moisture Content
(ASTM: D 1557 -02)
* Direct Shear
(ASTM D3080 -72)
* Sulfate Content

compacted in uniform lifts (not exceeding 8 inches in compacted thickness) by
mechanical means to at least 90 percent relative compaction (ASTM: D 1557),
A copy of the Grading and Foundation Plan shall be reviewed and approved by this office
prior to construction.
Geotechnical Parameters
The following Geotechnical parameters may used in the design of the proposed structure
(also, see "Liquefaction" section, above):
Foundation design
Structures on property compacted fill may be supported by conventional,
continuous or isolated spread footings. Footings should be a minimum of 24
inches deep by 15 inches wide for the two proposed two -story structures. At this
depth; all proposed structures may be designed for an allowable bearing value of
1800 and 2500 psf (fordead- plus -live load) for continuouswall and isolated spread
footings, respectively. These values may be increased by one -third for loads of
short duration, including wind or seismic forces. Continuous perimeter footings
should be reinforced with No. 5 rebar (two at the top and two at the bottom).
These shall be considered minimum requirements and incorporated into the
Foundation Plans submitted by the Structural Engineer.
Concrete mix design should be based on sulfate testing with Table 19 -A4 of the
2001 CBC. Preliminary laboratory testing indicates the site soils possess negligible
sulfate exposure (14 ppm, or 0.0014 %). Test Results are presented in Appendix
B.
New Garage Grade Beams
A grade beam, reinforced .continuously with the garage footings, should be
constructed across the garage entrance, tying together the ends of the garage
footings. This grade beam should be embedded at the same depth as the
adjacent perimeter footings. The 6 -inch thick garage slab should have a positive
separation from the stem walls. The grade beam /slab edge should consist of a
clean, cold joint.
Settlement
Utilizing the design recommendations presented herein, we anticipate that the
majority of any post - grading settlement will occur during construction activities. We

Pmjcol No. 75474.1
Soils Report

estimate that the total settlement for the proposed structure will be on the order of
1 inch. Differential settlement is not expected to exceed %z inch in 30 feet. These
settlement values are expected to be within tolerable limits for properly designed
and constructed foundations.
Lateral Load Resistance
Footings founded in fill materials may be designed for a passive lateral bearing
pressure of 250 pounds per square foot per foot of depth. A coefficient of friction
against sliding between concrete and soil of 0.35 may be assumed.
Slabs -on -grade
Concrete slabs cast against properly compacted fill materials shall be a minimum
of 6 inches thick (actual) and reinforced with No. 4 rebar at 12 inches on center in
both directions. The slabs shall be doweled into the footings using No. 4 bars at
24 inches on center. The reinforcement shall be supported on chairs to insure
positioning of the reinforcement at mid - center in the slab. Interior slabs shall be
underlain by 2 inches of sand over a 10 mil visqueen moisture barrier, with all laps
sealed, over 4 inches of very low or non- expansive materials: The site soils
consist of granular beach sands and are considered non - expansive.
Exterior slabs shall conform to the requirements for inter €or slabs except that the
moisture barrier may be omitted and the slab thickness may be reduced to 4
inches and reinforced with welded wire mesh placed at mid- one -third height.
Some slab cracking due to shrinkage should be anticipated. The potential for the
slab cracking may be reduced by careful control of water /cement ratios. The
contractor should take appropriate curing precautions during the pouring of
concrete in hot weather to minimize cracking of slabs. We recommend that a
slipsheet (or equivalent) be utilized if crack- sensitive flooring is planned directly on
concrete slabs. All slabs should be designed in accordance with structural
considerations.
Retaining Wall Design
The following equivalent fluid pressures may be used in the design of site retaining
walls assuming a free draining (clean sand or gravel) material is utilized as backfill.
Active Pressures
40 PCF
At -Rest Pressures
60 PCF
Passive Pressures

The active earth pressure value provided may be used for cantilevered
retaining walls. Restrained retaining walls such as basement walls, that
not free to rotate at top, should be designed using the at -rest earth
pressures value. Depending on whether the wall is restrained (rigid) or
unrestrained (free to deflect), an additional uniform lateral pressure equal
to 50 or 33 percent, respectively, of the anticipated maximum surcharge
load located within a distance equal to the height of the wall should be
used in design.
The retaining walls shall be provided with water proofing in accordance
with the architects recommendations and be free draining. Back drains
and weepholes shall be installed to collect and divert migrating
groundwater. As a minimum, the wall may be drained by placing a 4 -inch
diameter pipe perforated (faced down) PVC Schedule 40 pipe or
approved equivalent, located behind the base of the wall. The pipe shall
be covered by 3/4 inch crushed rock at a rate of not less than 2 sq. ft. per
linear ft. of pipe surrounded in turn by geofabric such as Supac 4NP or
equivalent. All wall backfill shall be compacted to a minimum 90 percent
relative compaction in accordance with ASTM D- 1557 -78. Wall back
drains shall outlet separately and not be combined with area drains. This
office shall be contacted to provide additional recommendations if actual
conditions are different than those assumed above. During construction,
drainage devices shall be inspected by a representative of EGA
Consultants.
A/C Pavement Subbase
Asphaltic concrete (AC) and Class 11 rock base should conform to, and be
placed in accordance with the latest revision of the California Department
of Transportation Standard Specifications. Pavement sections must be
based on 'R' -Value tests using appropriate traffic indices or comply with
Section 12.5 contained in the Orange County Grading Manual. We
assume that Class 11 base with a minimum R -value of 78 will be used.

' The minimum section of 6 inches concrete over 6 inches Class II Base
Material applies to the site approaches. If off -site (surrounding roadways)
work is anticipated, the Minimum Design Section shall conform with either
the City or Caltrans specifications, depending on jurisdiction.
Prior to placing pavement sections, the subbase soil should have a
' relative compaction of at least 90 percent, based on ASTM: D 1557. We
also recommend that the base course be compacted to a minimum of 95
percent relative compaction (based on ASTM: D 1557).
'
If pavement areas are planned adjacent to landscaped areas, we
recommend that the amount of irrigation be kept to a minimum to reduce
the possible adverse effects of water on pavement subgrade.
Continuous sections of rigid concrete pavement should be constructed in
an approximately 12 foot or less grid system. All longitudinal or
'
transverse control joints should be constructed by saw - cutting, hand
forming, or placing a pre- molded filler such as zip strips. Expansion joints
should be used to isolate fixed objects abutting within the pavement area.
'
Joints should run continuously and extend through integral curbs and
thickened edges. We recommend that joint layout be adjusted to coincide
with the corner of objects and structures.
Surface Drainage
Surface drainage shall be controlled at all times. Positive surface drainage
'
should be provided to direct surface water away from structures and
toward the street or suitable drainage facilities. Ponding of water should
be avoided adjacent to the structures. Recommended minimum gradient
is 2 percent for unpaved areas and one percent for concrete /paved areas.
Roof gutter discharge should be directed away from the building areas
through solid PVC pipes to suitable discharge points. Area drains should
'
be provided for planter areas and drainage shall be directed away from
the top of slopes,

Shaw Environmental, Inc. (Shaw) is pleased to present this Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ,
ESA) prepared for Todd Schooler & Associates (TSA). Cited below is an overview of the project, including a
summary of our significant findings:
Las Brisas Apartments
5515 River Avenue, Newport Beach, California
(Subject Property)
Parcel No. 424 -471 -03 (Orange County Tax Assessor's
Office)
Todd Schooler & Associates
The subject property is a candidate site for acquisition
and redevelopment The purpose of the ESA is to
identify, to the extent feasible, recognized
environmental conditions in connection with the
property. The term "recognized environmental
conditions," as defined by American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM, 2005), means the
"presence or likely presence of any hazardous
substances or petroleum products on a property under
conditions that indicate an existing release, a past
release, or a material threat of a release of any
hazardous substances or petroleum products into
structures on the property or into the groundwater,
ground, or surface water of the property."

December 14, 2007
The Subject Property, reported to be approximately 1.49 apes of land
located at 5515 River Avenue in the City of Newport Beach, is
developed with an approximately 64,885 square foot three -story, 54-
unit apartment complex structure. The majority of the general area of
the Subject Property is comprised of residential properties with the
exception of a city park located west and northwest The interior
consists of eight (8) studios, thirty-two (32) one - bedroom .units, and
fourteen (14) two-bedroom units, and also includes an office,
mailroom, laundry room, janitor's room, maintenance room, and

Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report 3 '
5515 River Ave., Newport Beach, CA January 4, 2088
Shaw has performed a Phase I ESA in confonnance with the scope and limitations presented in Section 2.0 of
this document of the Las Brisas Apartments property located at 5515 River Avenue, Newport Beach, Orange
County, California (Subject Property). Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in
Section 2.0 of this report.
• This assessment has revealed no evidence of recoiznized environmental conditions (RECs) in
connection with the Subject Property. No further environmental assessment of the Subject Property
is warranted at this time.
. In addition to an evaluation of RECs, Shaw evaluated selected other "environmental business risks" as
discussed in Section 8.0. This assessment has revealed evidence of the following "environmental business
risks" in connection with the Subject Property:
• Based on a review of an Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) Report conducted by Environmental
Monitoring Group (EMG) dated March 28, 2007, ACM was detected in 17 of the 44 samples
analyzed from the building located on the Subject Property. Shaw found no evidence of testing for
lead -based paint (LBP) on the Subject Property. Since redevelopment of the Subject Property is
planned, demolition of the buildings should be accomplished in accordance with local, state, and federal
regulations, which may require that a lead -based paint survey be performed prior to demolition. In
addition, abatement of all ACM detected within structure should be accomplished by a registered,
licensed, and certified asbestos abatement contractor prior to any demolition activities.
The results of the environmental assessment of the Subject Property have not revealed the presence of any
recognized environmental conditions in connection with the Subject Property.

3.3 Environmental Setting of Property
The Subject Property's elevation is approximately 12 feet above mean sea level
according to the United Stales Geological Survey's (USGS) "33117 -E8 Newport
Beach, California" topographic quadrangle (1981), which provides coverage of
the Property. The Subject Property and surrounding area has a generally Bat
topography; however, the referenced lopogmphic map also indicates that the
topography in the regional area slopes towards the general west - southwest.
The Subject Property is underlain by a thin mantle of residual soils and/or
engineered fill. The shallow soil layer is underlain by Quatemary-age terrace
marine deposits which are described as clean beach sands_ Regionally, the
Subject Property is located within the western boundary of the Coastal Plain of
Orange County.
According to the EDR Geocheck report, which provides information from the
U.S. Department of Agricultural's (USDA) Soil Conservation Service (SCS), the
soil in the area of the Subject Property has a" sand" soil surface texture.
Specifically, the soil profile in the area of the Subject Property is identified as
consisting of sand to a depth of 6 inches; underlain by coarse sand to a depth of
60 inches. The sand and coarse sand are generally made up course- grained soils,
sands, clean sands, and poorly graded sands. The soil component name for the
area of the Subject Property is listed as °BEACHES°.

The hydrologic group of the soil composition in the area of the Subject Property
is identified as "Class D ", which has very slow infiltration rates. Soils are
clayey, have a high water table, or are shallow to an impervious layer. The soil
drainage class is listed as "poorly drained ", which indicates that the soils may
have a saturated zone, a layer of low conductivity, or seepage with the depth to
water table being less than one foot. Additionally, the soil does meet the
requirements for a hydric soil and the corrosion potential is listed as high.
The Pacific Ocean lies approximately 1/8 -mile south of the Subject Property.
Groundwater flow is generally directed towards the ocean- Surface water bodies
such as rivers, lakes, and streams can locally influence groundwater flow
direction in the area.
Based on a review of a Gcotechnical Investigation Report conducted by EGA
Consultants dated June 13, 2007, the depth to groundwater was measured at
depth of approximately six to eight feet below ground surface (bgs).
The groundwater flow direction at the Subject Property is interpreted to be
directed towards the west - southwest, consistent with the regional topographic
surface gradient as groundwater flow direction often follows surficial
topography_ However, local gradient could also be influenced by any nearby
production wells and/or localized topographic features. The actual groundwater
flow direction may vary, and cannot be determined without an actual subsurface
investigation.
There are no state - registered or Federal USGS wells located on the Subject
Property or in its immediate vicinity-

The regulatory agency database was obtained from Environmental Data Resources (EDR). A complete copy of the
database report, including the date the report was prepared, the date the information was last updated, and the
definition of databases searched, is provided in Appendix D. Research into environmental regulatory agency
database listings was performed by Environmental Data Resources (EDR). The purpose of the review was to
identify reported environmental issues for the Property and other properties in the vicinity. The definition of the
databases searched and the associated search distances from the Properly are identified in the regulatory agency
database search report.
Shaw reviews the results of the database search report to note reported release sites in the vicinity of the Property
that were considered to have a potential to have adversely impacted the Property (ie., are ]mown to have or are
expected to result in recognized environmental conditions). Reported release sites identified in the regulatory agency
database search report were evaluated with respect to the nature and extent of a given release, the distance of the
reported release site from the Property, the stratigraphy of soils, the expected soil permeability, and the topographic
position of a reported release site with respect to known or expected local and/or regional groundwater flow
direction. Generally, reported release sites located within Y. -mile upgradient or Va -mile cross- gradient or adjacent
downgrsdient are considered to have a potential to have impacted the Properly. Sites that were listed in the database
search report, but not identified as a release site, and sites that were fisted as being "closed" were not considered to
have a potential to have impacted the Property.
The Subject Property was not identified in any of the databases searched by EDR.
Additionally, based on the above criteria, none of the listed surrounding sites in the database report represents a
:potential recognized environmental condition to the Subject Property due to their regulatory status and/or presumed
cross to down gradient position.

5.2.5 Historical Fire Insurance Maps
Historical fire insurance (Sanbornm) maps of the Subject Property and surrounding area were researched, but were
found to be unavailable. There is no coverage for the Subject Property or the surrounding areas.
5.2.6 Other Historical Sources
A review of historical topographic maps of the Subject Property and surrounding area dated 1901, 1902, 1951, 1965,
1972 and 1981, which were obtained from EDR, revealed that the Subject Property is shown at an elevation of
approximately 12 feet above mean sea level. The Subject Property was not clearly depicted on the 1901 and 1902
maps as the majority of the area appears undeveloped. The map from 1951 shows no development on the Subject
Property with residential development located along the coastline and farther east, southeast, and north. An oil field
with numerous oil and gas wells is depicted farther north - northwest of the Subject Property across Pacific Coast
Highway. The maps from 1965, 1972, and 1981 show that the area of the Subject Property is developed although no
structures are depicted on the Subject Property. The vicinity is characterized by a mixture residential and
commercial development with new road improvements noted. A sewage disposal plant was noted farther west -
northwest. There were no other sources of historical information reviewed during this assessment.
' E27 Previous Environmental Reports
Shaw reviewed an Asbestos Containing - Materials Report conducted by EMG dated March 28, 2007. The report
findings and conclusions are presented as follows:
The asbestos containing- materials (ACM) that were discovered are found to be in good condition and
do not appear to pose an exposures hazard at this time. However; if future damage occurs, action must
be taken as recommended.
• The ACM listed in the "Table of ACM" shall be removed and disposed of prior to any demolition
' work in the building. All removal, disposal and handling of these asbestos containing - materials shall
be in accordance with Federal, State and Local agency ordinances, laws and regulations. The disposal
of the ACM less than one - percent is designated as general construction waste.
Shaw reviewed a Geotechnical Investigation for the Subject Property conducted by EGA dated June 13, 2007_ The
ireport findings and conclusions are presented as follows:
• Based on the geotechnical study of the Subject Property, review of available reports and literature and
experience, it was EGA's opinion that the proposed construction at the Site is feasible from a
geotechnical standpoint. There appear: to be no significant geotechnical constraints on -site that cannot
' be mitigated by proper planning, design, and utilization of sound construction practices. The
engineering properties of the soil and native materials, and the surface drainage offer favorable
conditions for construction of the proposed multi- tenant residential development.

Reason for appeal: Improper Notice /Public Hearing. Improper approval. Planning commission did not consider
additional 17 pg. comments, emails, & objection letters submitted prior to ruling on entire project that included
discretionary permits. (P.C. Eaton stated he did not finish reading my objections). Email & letters objecting to project
not available /included at 4/17/08 hearing. Interrupted during 3 min. speech, allowed applicant rebuttal, refused my
rebuttal. Appears to been attempt to circumvent public hearing process. Appellant comment letters 1 & 2, (total 50
pates) are considered part of this appeal, as well as the emails, & resident /tenant letters of objection. City has
record of these letters. Several emails & letters of objection were not part of the public hearing and were not available +
for public review. Ap nt requests copy of P.C. audio meetings 3/20/08 & 4/17/08 and city to retain.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Seashore Village Residential Development Appeal
(PA 2007 -100)
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Newport Beach will hold a public
hearing on the following item:
An appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (Sch.
No. 2008021075) and to approve Tentative Tract Map No. 2007 -001, Use Permit No. 2007 -011,
Modification Permit No. 2007 -044, and Coastal Residential Development Permit No. 2007 -001,
associated with an application filed by Seashore Village, LLC, for property located in the Multi - Family
Residential (MFR) District at 5515 River Avenue. The appeal was filed by Lennie DeCaro.
The project, as approved by the Planning Commission, permitted the development of 12 detached
single -unit residential structures and 6 detached two -unit (duplex) residential structures (24 units
total) on a 1.49 -acre site. The site is currently developed with a 54 -unit apartment complex that would
be demolished to accommodate the proposed development. Project implementation required the
approval of the following applications: 1) a tentative tract map to create a 24 -unit condominium
subdivision; 2) a use permit to allow each of the 6 duplex structures to exceed the City's base height
limit; 3) a modification permit to allow encroachments into the required front and side yard setback
areas and a reduction in the required distance between detached buildings; and 4) a coastal
residential development permit to ensure compliance with Government Code Section 65590 (Mello
Act), which regulates the demolition of low and moderate income (affordable) dwelling units in the
Coastal Zone.
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared by
the City of Newport Beach in connection with the application noted above. The Mitigated Negative
Declaration states that, the subject development will not result in a significant effect on the environment
with mitigation measures incorporated. It is the present intention of the City to accept the Mitigated
Negative Declaration and supporting documents. This is not to be construed as either approval or
denial by the City of the subject application. The City encourages members of the general public to
review and comment on this documentation. Copies of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
supporting documents are available for public review and inspection at the Planning Department, City of
Newport Beach, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California, 92658 -8915, (949) 644 -3232.
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that said public hearing will be held on June 10, 2008 at the
hour of 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Newport Beach City Hall, 3300 Newport Boulevard,
Newport Beach, California, at which time and place any and all persons interested may appear and be
heard thereon. If you challenge this project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you
or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence
delivered to the City at, or prior to, the public hearing. For information call (949) 644 -3200.

Re: Appeal of Planning Commission Approval of 24 -Unit Condominium Project
5515 River Avenue, Newport Beach, California
Tentative Tract Map No. 2007 -001; Modification Permit No. 2007 -044
Use Permit No. 2007 -011: Coastal Residential Development Permit No. 2007 -001
Newport Beach City Council - Hearing Date: June 10, 2008, Agenda Item No. 26
Dear Mr. Lepo:
I represent the Applicant on the above- captioned project, Seashore Village, LLC., which
presently set for a hearing on June 10, 2008 (i.e., today) before the City Council on an appeal by Ms.
Lennie DeCaro of the Planning Commission's approval of the Project on April 17, 2008. I am in
receipt of an application from Appellant DeCaro requesting a continuance of that hearing. The
Applicant strenuously opposes the request for continuance as set forth herein.
The Code section that Ms. DeCaro cites, Newport Beach Municipal Code §20.95, does state
that a hearing shall be held within 60 days of the date the appeal is filed — which the applies to the
hearing set for tonight. However, although the date Ms. DeCaro requests would be within the 60 day
period, the Code section says nothing about a continuance of the hearing; although the City Council
of course always has discretion to control its own calendar, the only actual ground that the Code sets
forth for a continuance is that "both the applicant and the appellant or the appellate body consent to
a later date." [Emphasis added.] In this case, the applicant does not consent to the continuance — and
not arbitrarily, as stated below, but for extremely good cause.
Ms. DeCaro's request, although it uses the catch -all phrase "the ends of justice," states no
reason that justice requires such continuance; it also says that a ground for the request is "due to the
unavailability of witnesses," but does not identify any witnesses expected to testify who are unavailable
or why their testimony is essential, or even important. (The only witness who testified in support of
Ms. DeCaro's contentions at the Planning Commission hearing was her husband Robert DeCaro, who
Ms. DeCaro has admitted to me is in town.)

Moreover, contrary to Ms. DeCaro's implication that there is something improper about staff's
summary of her objections, in fact, first, that is the very function of a staff report, and second, Ms.
DeCaro's own letters and comments are not only contained within the staff report, but the included
Planning Commission staff reports examine Ms. DeCaro's timely comments on the Mitigated Negative
Declaration exhaustively and in detail. (The second commentary on the MND was also examined by
staff for the Planning Commission, notwithstanding that it was untimely.)
Finally, Ms. DeCaro makes this request not only at the very last moment, when substantial
resources have been expended on preparing for the hearing, but after having requested the applicant's
consent to such continuance last week and had it denied. In connection with that denial, I explained
to Ms. DeCaro in detail why a continuance of the hearing could be ruinous to the applicant because
of "hard" deadlines on financing commitments, including contingencies based upon approvals, and the
damage that the loss of the financing commitment could do in the current market. Ms. DeCaro
therefore knows that her statement that "a two week continuance cannot be considered detrimental to
the applicant" is factually untrue — especially in light of the fact that, as you know, it was she that
caused the need for the continuance of the Planning Commission hearing.
Over the past several weeks — and continuing up to last night — I conducted extensive
negotiations with Ms. DeCaro, and my client actually agreed to meet her price, notwithstanding that
we thought it substantially beyond the actual market value of her property — conditioned only upon her
withdrawal of her request to continue this hearing. Nonetheless, she refused, making this opposition
necessary.
For all of the foregoing reasons, Irespectfully request that the City Council deny Ms. DeCaro's
request for continuance.
Very truly yours,

Subject: request for continuance to 6 -24 -08 (from 6- 10 -08) on planning commission appeal "5515
River" Seashore village project. (DeCaro appellant)
Friday June 6, 2008
To the city of Newport Beach Planning Department,
Please cause this request to be forwarded to the appropriate parties and provide confirmation of
continuance.
In order to serve the ends of justice I am requesting the hearing on my appeal to be
rescheduled /continued to 6- 24 -08. This is within the 60 day time limit as set forth for hearing the
appeal without the consent of the applicant. Since I am the aggrieved party and my request falls
within this 60 day time limit from filing appeal (4- 29 -08), and there are no provisions to the contrary
to disallow this, I request this action be initiated due to the unavailability of essential witnesses and in
fairness to the ability to present my entire case. I additionally object to the placement on the agenda
at the end of the evening, and it is clear it may need to be continued due to the heavy agenda
anyway.
Further, in reviewing the posted agenda today, staff has taken the liberty of summarizing my
objections. The primary component to my appeal is regarding a CEQA challenge if a ruling to require
an EIR is not found and council votes to adopt the mitigated negative declaration. Staff has not
made obvious the fact that the 50 pages of objections as part of my appeal are to present a fair
argument to demand an EIR, objecting to the MND, as well as requesting rejection of project as
presented. This appeal hearing is primarily to demand an EIR and to raise the many issues that are
objectionable. Additionally, there are 10 attachments as stated in the agenda, yet they are not
accessible. I also need the time to have these reviewed for adequate preparation for the public
hearing.
At the initial public hearing at planning commission, we were informed they would not continue
hearing date and would be taking public comments as the applicant was ready but would be late as
he had some bugs to work out in his power point presentation. We were never informed during the
hearing that they decided to continue the hearing and we waited until 10:30 p.m. to speak, only to
have the commission close the hearing without taking public comment. Other continuances on this
hearing were initiated by staff and the final hearing placed us once again at the end of the agenda,
wherein we had to present at nearly 11:00 P.M.. The applicant & his attorney however, were not
only allowed to present but were given the opportunity to rebut my speech. On the other hand, I
was not allowed to rebut their comments. Given this past treatment, the city of Newport should
make every effort to avoid impartiality and I therefore request immediate notification to the applicant
that the continuance be granted and heard on 6- 24 -08.
The city must provide this request as I am the one who paid for the appeal and a continuance is
justified and within legal time frame of 60 days. For a fair and just hearing, I am requesting this
reschedule /continuance to 6-24 -08 be confirmed. This request for continuance is timely in that I am
the appellant and all council members will have had the opportunity to be made aware of the change
in agenda.
A two week continuance cannot be considered detrimental to the applicant, given the history of the
past continuances from planning commission that were not objected to and the fact that consent of
applicant is only required for continuance beyond 60 days after appeal was filed. Further, the interest
of justice is best served with a two week continuance.
Regards,
Lennie DeCaro
Per Municipal Code 20.95 procedures for appeals.
Wherein it states, "A. Hearing Date. A hearing on the appeal shall be held before an appellate body
within sixty (60) days of the date the appeal is filed. The hearing may be scheduled more than sixty
(60) days after the appeal is filed, provided both the applicant and the appellant or the appellate
body consent to a later date."

Subject: 5515 River Avenue Project - Newport Beach City Council Hearing, June 10, 2008, Agenda Item 26
David,
As you may know, I am the attorney for Seashore Village, LLC, the applicant on the above captioned matter,
which is set on the City Council's calendar for tomorrow, June 10, 2008 as Agenda Item 26.
I have recently been made aware that the Appellant, Lennie DeCaro, has today filed an application for a
continuance of the hearing. The applicant is strenuously opposed to any such continuance, and I was in the
process of preparing a response to her application to send to you. However, Ms. DeCaro and I are presently
discussing an agreement that may result in the withdrawal of her request for continuance, and may make the
appeal hearing itself less contentious, and I thought it best to divert my energy to that agreement, resulting in
delay of the opposition to the request for continuance.
I hope and trust that you and the City Councilmembers will understand. If there is no complete agreement to
withdraw the request for continuance by close of business today, I will send the opposition to you by first thing
tomorrow morning.
Thank you for your attention to this matter; if there are any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to
call.

Subject: 5515 River Avenue Project - Newport Beach City Council Hearing, June 10, 2008,
Agenda Item 26
David,
The Applicant, Seashore Village, LLC and the Appellants, Robert and Lenora DeCaro, have
worked out an agreement. Ms. DeCaro will be calling you to inform you that Appellants are
withdrawing their request for a continuance and that, although they are not formally
dismissing their appeal, they will not be making any presentation in support of it, but
making an appearance "for the record" to maintain their status as "aggrieved parties."
It is therefore not the intention of the Applicant team to make a substantive
presentation, except to the extent that staff or members of the City Council want us to do
so to explain the Project.
Because the agreement contemplates a consummation when the Applicant has received all
approvals for its Project, I shall be proposing to the City that we all - the DeCaros as
putative Petitioners, the City of Newport Beach as putative Respondent and Seashore
Village LLC as putative Real Party in Interest - enter into a stipulation to toll the
statute of limitations on a Petition for Writ of Mandate to appeal the.City's approval of
the Project. I will address a request to the City Attorney, with a copy to you, unless
you have any alternative suggestion for handling that procedure.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, as well as your assistance in facilitating
this process over the past several days - and weeks and months. Please also accept, and
convey to Jamie Murillo, my sincere admiration for the quality of the staff work that went
into this Project. The City of Newport Beach is fortunate indeed in the quality of it
staff.
