(Imp 2.1) Commercial Districts 1W LU 5.2 Commercial centers and districts that are well-designed and planned, exhibit a high level of architectural and landscape quality, and are vital places for shopping and socialization. Fottclo$ LU 5.2.1 Architecture and Site Design Require that new development within existing commercial districts centers and corridors complement existing uses and exhibit a high level of architectural and site design in consideration of the following principles: Newport Beach General Plan 9� Land Use Element Policy Overview The General Plan provides for a mix of land uses for West Newport Mesa that include office, research, convalescent care, and retail facilities supporting Hoag Hospital, a consolidated light industrial district where non-water-dependent marine-related businesses would be encouraged to locate, enhanced housing opportunities, and supporting retail commercial services. While distinct sub-districts are defined by the Land Use Plan, the assembly and planning of multiple parcels across these districts to create a unified center that is linked by pedestrian walkways, parklands, and other amenities is encouraged. LU 6.6 A medical district with peripheral medical services and research facilities that support the Hoag Hospital campus within a well-planned residential neighborhood, enabling residents to live close to their jobs and reducing commutes to outlying areas. Policies LAND USES (refer to Figure LUIS) LU 6.6.1 Hospital Supporting Uses Integrated with Residential Neighborhoods Prioritize the accommodation of medical-related and supporting facilities on properties abutting the Hoag Hospital complex [areas designated as "CO-M (0.5)" (Figure LU18, Sub-Area A)] with opportunities for new residential units [areas designated as " RM(18/ac)'] and supporting general and neighborhood-serving retail services ["CG(0.75)" and "CN(0.3)"] respectively. (Imp 2.1) LU 6.6.2 Residential Types Promote the development of a mix of residential types and building scales within the densities permitted by the "RM" (Figure LU18, Sub-Area C) designation, which may include single-family attached, townhomes, apartments, flats, and comparable units. Residential densities may be increased on a property as a means of promoting a variety of housing types within Newport Mesa, provided that the overall average density of 18 units per acre is not exceeded. (Imp 2.1) STRATEGY LU 6.6.3 Cohesive and Integrated Medical Campus Development Work with property owners and encourage the development of a master plan for streetscape, pedestrian, signage, and other improvements that contribute to a definable district. Land use boundaries delineated on the Land Use Diagram may be modified by a specific plan to achieve cohesive districts that integrate a variety of land uses.

As indicated by the presence of archaeological sites at Banning Ranch in Newport Beach and Fairview Park in Costa Mesa, the region was densely occupied by prehistoric populations prior to European contact. Although the Area of Potential Effect is developed with mobile home spaces, etc., if the development occurred prior to the passage and implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act in 1970, and archaeological investigations were not conducted, the potential for buried archaeological.resources remains high. Therefore, we request that this potential is given serious consideration,and that the City's regulations and guidelines regarding impacts to archaeological resources are included in the permits. Where the permits will entail ground disturbing activities, monitoring during construction by a qualified archaeologist should be required. In addition If human remains are encountered during excavations associated with this project, all work must stop, and the County coroner must be notified(Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code). The coroner will determine whether the remains are of forensic interest. If the remains are prehistoric,the coroner will contact the Native American heritage Commission(NAHC). The NAHC will designate the most likely descendant(MLD), who will be responsible for the ultimate disposition of the remains as required by Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code.
