Il. CURRENT BUSINESS
City Attorney Harp announced that the Closed Session item will be pulled from the agenda.
SS1. Clarification of Items on the Consent Calendar - None
SS2. Status of the General Plan Update
Community Development Director Jurjis utilized a presentation to discuss the General Plan
Update Steering Committee (GPUSC) meetings and erZage&nt, the Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA), the Housing Action Plan, the Housing Element Update Advisory
Committee's (HEUAC) efforts, and current focus and schedule for the Housing Element and
Circulation Element.
In response to Mayor O'Neill's question, Co nity Development Director Jurjis noted the
HEUAC is working through the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) form, which has ?o0be filled out, with the Assessor Parcel Number (APN) of
each parcel the City plans to use in the Housing -Eleni . Mayor O'Neill encouraged the public
to watch the video of the HEUAC's review of almost -200 parcels and noted that an HEUAC
subcommittee will discuss affordable housing and present a report to Council.
Community Developmenfbirector Jurjis continued his presentation detailing the schedule and
noted a potential vote of the elector at
In response to Mayor Pro Tem A s questions, Community Development Director Jurjis
believed single-family homes will be included, noted the HEUAC has not focused on single
family dwellings, but on medium to high density neighborhoods, and stated that Uptown
Newport is a model of what housing will look like in the future if this Housing Element is
certified and tht Land Use Element is updated. Mayor O'Neill added that an Uptown Newport
project cannot be built in areas like Balboa Islands, and at most, another unit could be built on
a Balboa Island pa WW
Community Development Director Jurjis continued the presentation with a discussion of the
Land Use Element, Safety Element, and budget and estimated costs.
In response to Council Member Dixon's questions, Community Development Director Jurjis
reported the estimated project cost was originally $2.5 million, and noted that some agencies
are updating their Housing Elements inhouse and other agencies draft specific plans rather
than update their Housing Element. Council Member Dixon noted there were demands to look
at certain parts of the City for new land uses.
Community Development Director Jurjis concluded his presentation by announcing the Housing
Suitability Virtual Workshops scheduled for November 16 and 17, 2020.
In response to Mayor O'Neill's questions, Community Development Director Jurjis indicated
that Council authorized staff to draft an appeal of the RHNA numbers based on the City being
subject to regulations relative to the Coastal Act and John Wayne Airport (JWA) and the impacts

of COVID-19. Mayor O'Neill added that he signed a letter to the Southern California Association
of Governments (SCAG) requesting they form a litigation subcommittee to justify the 1.3 million
units as suggested by SCAG, and stated that Yorba Linda Council Member Peggy Wong has
asked SCAG to advance legislation that counts the housing units if a state agency denies
housing development on a site, like Banning Ranch.
In response to Council Member Dixon's question, Community Development Director Jurjis
indicated that HCD provided the allocation to SCAG and it is uncertain how HCD justifies the
numbers. Mayor O'Neill added that this was legislation followed by administrative policy.
In response to Council Member Brenner's questions, Deputy Community Development Director
Campbell reported two projects have been approved and one is under review, the total units of
all three projects is over 1,000 units, and the City can include those in the RHNA number.
Community Development Director Jurjis indicated that the HEUAC has not focused on
subdivisions but on a site inventory to obtain the most density, confirmed that the City can get
credits for accessory dwelling units (ADU), and stated that the study showing a decline in
population was not a part of the appeal. Council Member Brenner expressed concerns regarding
the HEUAC finding more high-density sites than are needethe community not supporting the
draft plan based on little interaction during outreach ffieetings, polling questions being
structured, the impacts of COVID-19, community complaints about not having a master plan
and that projects are piecemealed, believed that Council should have a community group to
brainstorm ideas, and acknowledged that HE10Member an DeSantis is familiar with
visioning.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Avery's questions, Community Development Director Jurjis
advised that development is controlled by private markets and property owner's feedback is
needed. Mayor Pro Tem Avery noted, considering recent concerns regarding growth, circulation,
and traffic, an important step is for development to br"'appealing enough for property owners
and developers to buy into, and development has to work for low-income units. Community
Development Director Jurjis indicated the projects coming forward are 5% affordable and,
because the land is expensive, affordable hdusing is hard to include and the City may need to
over -design or over -zone to make up that gap.
Nancy Gardner believed the Housing Element and Land Use Element will be more dominant
and put the Cly into certain corners, and hoped a community group or additional members on
the HEUA would look at the upcoming elements.
Hoiyin Ip n tVHsing
bring excitement to the community and hoped to see the City use
multiple path
Susan DeSantlement Update Advisory Committee member, referred to innovative
projects that could generate community engagement, shared a presentation illustrating three-
dimensional modeling of different densities, and suggested the use of this technology in the
Housing Element Update process.
Jim Mosher indicated about half of the 1.3 million units allocated to SCAG was deemed
necessary to relieve existing housing conditions, Newport Beach's RHNA number is divided by
income categories, the affordable housing number is immensely larger than it seems if housing
projects provide only 5% affordable housing, and believed the website and publicity efforts are
not generating excitement.
David Tanner requested that Council clarify the scope of the General Plan Update, noted
piecemealing is prohibited by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), suggested that
Council evaluate new strategies to comply with state housing laws and instruct staff to describe
the existing environmental setting prior to asking for public comment, and asked if the City can

meet the deadline to submit the Housing Element and if the public can use the Community
Room for in-person comments during upcoming workshops.
Community Development Director Jurjis reported that the consultant is working to obtain
community engagement, expects 100 people at the upcoming workshops, and cannot schedule a
large in-person community forum. He assured that staff is working to comply with all
requirements, as the Council directed, but the timeline is tight and they need to obtain input
from the HEUAC's outreach subcommittee.
Council Member Brenner commended staff and suggested they find different ways of looking at
this to get better results and allow the public to brainstorm during workshops. Community
Development Director Jurjis advised that the upcoming virtual housing workshops will be a
dialog with the community.
In response to Council Member Dixon's question, Community Development Director Jurjis
reported that staff is focusing on sites, policies, and the Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
first and will look at master planning during the Land Use Element update, and added that the
consultant can obtain technology.

XVII. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS
Jim Mosher recalled that Council heard an appeal regarding a private dock last fall and approved a new
policy addressing pier permit requests, noted the previous night the Harbor Commission heard a similar
matter and reached a conclusion that seems contrary to the new policy, expressed concern that the
Harbor Commission regards policies as general guidance or that they could interpret the policy
differently than it is written, and suggested that a Council Member call the decision for review or
Council may want to remind the Harbor Commission how the policy should be applied.
Nancy Scarbrough related that the new driveway into the drop-off parking lot at Ensign Intermediate
School is very narrow, has an extremely tight radius, and an emergency vehicle may not be able to
navigate it, noted that the drive-through parking lot and the staff parking lot directly run-off into the
storm drains, added that California Code does not allow runoff to leave a property, and believed it is
time for the Police, Fire and Community Development Departments to review the project and consider
alternatives to discuss with the Newport -Mesa Unified School Dist 'ct.

Study Session and Regular Meeting
November 10, 2020
Council Member Dixon thanked staff for conducting the market assessment and understood the
Business Industry Association (BIA) supports a phased approach. In response to her questions,
Community Development Director Jurjis advised that the amendment is a 60 -day implementation
for the first step increase, the City does not require the applicant to obtain an appraisal at the time
of application, the process can be changed, but he wanted to wait for the 2020 Census and completion
of the General Plan Update, and staff is considering a study session in 2021 for development impact
fees, including park fees for multifamily and rental products.
Jim Mosher stated Chapter 19.52 in the Municipal Code has not been updated since 2001 while the
state law has been revised multiple times since 2001, believed Council is adopting a fee to support
an out-of-date ordinance, suggested people would be unhappy if the City relaxes the five acres per
1,000 park standard, noted that appraisals may not be relevant to the cost of purchasing developed
land in parts of the City, and stated that the City is supposed to have a schedule for impact fees, but
he is not aware of one.
Motion by Council Member Dixon, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Avery, to a) find the
adoption of this resolution is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA")
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result iu ,a direct or reasonably foreseeable
indirect physical change in the environment); and b) adopt Resorution No. 2020-95, A Resolution of
the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Establishing the Fair Market Value Per
Acre to be Used in Assessing In -Lieu Park Dedicatio Fps Pursuant to Section 19.52.070 of the

has set aside enough funding to purchase financial flexibility.
Mayor Pro Tem Avery'RMWed getting the property is a real win for the City, and the financing was
handled smartly and gives the City flexibility.
Council Member Dixon commended staff for another outstanding project and was delighted to see
the reduction in the estimate and the addition of the public restrooms. Public Works Director Webb
noted Council Member Dixon fought for the restroom because the community wanted it.
Mayor O'Neill thanked the Finance Committee, City Manager's Office, Public Works Department,
and Fire Department for their efforts.
Jim Mosher noted that Council would be approving the construction of the project and issuance of
bonds, but found it strange that the City will be borrowing funds to pay itself for permitting fees.
Deputy Finance Director Montano clarified that permitting fees will be financed as part of the total
cost of the project and City Manager Leung added that part of what is included are fees the City
collects for the state, which cannot be waived.

Jim Mosher believed the Library uses museum criteria, and a reversion in tiers could cause the Library
