City, on behalf of any insurer providing comprehensive general and automotive liability

Dear Ms. Temple:
In response to your request, Lawrence Associates is pleased to submit this proposal for staff
augmentation services.
I formed Lawrence Associates in 1986 to provide contract planning services to cities. My 25 years in
planning includes 13 years on staff at the City of San Juan Capistrano, where I managed the
development review division. Since becoming a consultant, I have served as a contract planner for
review of major development projects in Laguna Niguel, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, La Palma,
and Aliso Viejo.
In presenting this proposal, I would like to emphasize several points:
If selected for the project, I will be the responsible person for the duration of the project. In
other words, "who you see is who you get".
■ I am able to function independently to produce and prepare reports, letters and exhibits without
the need for City clerical support.
Throughout the review process, I will keep the Planning Director and the applicant fully
informed. I will be readily accessible to City staff and the applicant and will be available to
meet as needed and on short notice if necessary.
I am the principal of Lawrence Associates and the person authorized to bind this proposal and negotiate
a contract. If you have any questions, please call me at 949- 661 -8175.
Sincerely,
Larry rawr;ence AICP

I. APPROACH
This scope of services is for the provision of staff augmentation services for review of the proposed ten -
story office tower in Koll Center Newport. The project will include the processing of an EIR and traffic
study, a General Plan Amendment, and an amendment to the KCN PC text. The following sections
describe our approach to the project, processing methodology, Larry LawTence's experience with similar
projects, and an hourly rate quote.
Principles
All project management, report preparation, and other work related to the project will be performed by
Larry Lawrence. My guiding principles in performing the work will be:
■ My client is the City of Newport Beach, not the applicant. The public interest, as defined by the
City, will be the ultimate determinant of direction and recommendations.
■ The project proponents will be treated in an even -handed and responsive manner. I will listen
attentively to their concerns and their project objectives, and respond promptly where required.
■ Project evaluation will be comprehensive, identifying every issue.
■ I will work to resolve any conflicts by offering alternatives that work for both the City and the
proponents. Alternative solutions will fully conform to City standards and policies.
■ My knowledge and long experience with zoning regulations, CEQA and other state and federal
regulations will be used to steer the project through all required "hoops ".
■ Work will be done precisely to the specifications of the City of Newport Beach.
■ Deadlines will be met with no loss of work quality.

Immediately upon project "kickoff', I will meet with the Planning Director and other relevant City staff,
review the case file, other related files or projects, the General Plan, and applicable City policies and
ordinances. I will also conduct site visits and meet with project proponents, under the auspices of the
Planning Director, to more fully understand the project characteristics and objectives. I will then review,
analyze and evaluate the project submittals for consistency with City policies and standards as well as
the requirements of state law.
Project Analysis And Processing
I will coordinate review of plans by various City departments and outside agencies, consolidating
comment and presenting recommendations and revisions to the applicant. I will also prepare screen
check comments, letters to applicants, and staff reports. This will include the preparation of required
notices of public meetings and hearings. Notices will be mailed, posted, and/or published as required
by City codes and policies.
I will maintain the quality of the city's discretionary review process by ensuring that all City standards
and policies are implemented in a thorough and consistent manner. I will ensure that all written
materials are thoroughly reviewed and consistent with the format established by the City of Newport
Beach. Internal deadlines will be established for the processing of the assigned project to ensure that
adequate time is spent reviewing drafts. Continued coordination and communications with the staff
planner and affected departments and agencies will be maintained when preparing staff reports.
In addition to review of the project for consistency with applicable codes, I will prepare the required
environmental assessments, including initial studies, negative declarations, Program EIR checklists, and
mitigation monitoring programs to ensure compliance with CEQA as necessary.
EIR
I will work closely with the EIR consultant to ensure that the project description is complete, that
alternatives to the project have been identified, and that the consultant has all necessary information
from the City and proponents to prepare the draft document. I will integrate the necessary EIR review
steps into the project schedule and assist with scoping and other meetings and required noticing.
Schedalin�
A processing schedule will be established in accordance with the city's calendar and processes. I will
maintain the schedule, prepare regular status reports, and ensure that all deadlines for noticing, report
preparation, review of reports and packet assembly are met. The applicant will be kept informed of the
status of the project and of submittal deadlines to meet hearing dates.

2. METHODOLOGY
Once all the issues have been addressed to the satisfaction of the city staff, I will attend meetings and
make presentations to the Planning Commission, other advisory bodies, and the City Council. Prior to
each meeting, I will contact the applicant and the other affected departments or agencies and determine
whether their attendance will be required. Any exhibits or graphics will be prepared in advance of the
meeting and I will ensure the exhibits are displayed at the meeting or hearing.
Plan Check
If the project is approved, I will review grading and building plans for consistency with discretionary
approvals and environmental mitigation measures. I will coordinate with the other departments to
finalize the plan check process and ensure those planning related issues, conditions of approval and/or
mitigation measures have been addressed to the satisfaction of the City.
Cost Control
Lawrence Associates is sensitive to the need to minimize costs wherever possible, but not at the expense
of quality review. Researching the project in advance of meetings, anticipating the issues and
coordinating closely with the applicant, the other departments and the Planning staff will avoid "late
hits" and the need to delay or reassess the project. Since I have considerable experience in processing
applications, the learning curve will be minimal.

Council Policy F -14, Authority to Contract For Services, authorizes Department Heads to award
contracts for services of less than $30,000.00 without further review. However, contracts in excess
of $30,000.00; contracts for service not specified in the approved budget; and contracts for services
which exceed the amount authorized by the City Council in the budget must be submitted to the
City Council for specific approval before the contract is awarded. Additionally, the City Attorney is
required to review all specific contract documents prior to contract award.
The attached consultant contracts are for the processing of the request of the Koll Company for
additional office development at the comer of MacArthur Boulevard and Jamboree Road. One of
the two contracts, for Lawrence Associates, technically does not require City Council approval
because it is under the $30,000 limit. However, this is the first time the Planning Department is
utilizing an outside consultant to augment staff. We need to do this because of our extremely high
workload combined with limited staff resources. As a result, this applicant has requested that a
contract planner be retained to fulfill normal staff activities, like managing the environmental
consultant, reviewing and processing applications, writing staff reports, and plan checking the
building. We felt that the City Council should be aware of this fact, and felt the contract approval
process provided a convenient mechanism for this information. The contract planner cost is to be
covered by the applicant.
Lawrence Associates has provided a proposal for project management for the project. This firm was
selected after a Request for Proposals, a review of six different firms' Scope of Services, and an
interview. In recommending the retention of this firm, staff believes that it possesses the level of
experience necessary to manage the project with a level of competence similar to City staff. Mr.
Lawrence has experience as a staff planner, and has an excellent understanding of this role. That of
representing the applicant. Additionally, he has a good knowledge of the City and its processes,
since he prepared the Recreation and Open Space Element of the General Plan under contract to the
City, and we were very satisfied with his work.
In terms of the EIR consultant, it should be noted that the City's standard practice for more than 20
years has been to select environmental consultants from a list of firms previously qualified by the
City, when agreed to by the applicant. The City has followed this practice because the time limits
0
on EIR preparation make it impractical to do a full selection process for each case. Additionally, no
City funds are involved in these contracts, as the applicant is responsible for the cost of EIR
preparation.
Keeton Kreitzer Cunsulting has provided a proposal to perform professional environmental
services for the City of Newport Beach for the preparation and processing of a Focused
Environmental Impact Report and supporting documents for the Koll Center Newport expansion.
Attached is a copy of the proposal, containing the scope of services through the completion and
certification of the Final EIR, proposed budget, and time schedule for preparation and processing
the environmental documentation. Staff has reviewed the scope of services and determined that the
services that will be provided meet or exceed the minimum requirements set forth by the California
Environmental Quality Act. The environmental consulting fees for tasks described in the scope of
services including staff hours, technical studies, direct expenses, and printing have been reviewed
by staff and are considered appropriate and warranted. Additionally, the applicant has reviewed the
contract proposal and finds that the scope of services and fees to be appropriate.
The Assistant City Attorney has reviewed the form and content of the Professional Services
Agreements.

Dear
As you requested, I have enclosed a proposal for environmental consulting services for the
preparation of the Koll Center Newport General Plan Amendment /PC Text Amendment Draft
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) proposed in the City of Newport Beach. I have based my
proposal on our discussions and those with Ms. Lauren Jeu of Planning Consultants Research and
Mr. Patrick Allen of Langdon Wilson Architects. I believe this proposal addresses the issues
associated with the proposed project and presents a comprehensive scope of services necessary to
implement the City's environmental review process.
Two firms will assist Keeton Kreitzer Consulting (KKC) in the preparation of the Draft EIR.
Robert Kahn, John Kain & Associates, Inc., will prepare a detailed traffic analysis, consistent with
the City's requirements (including the Traffic Phasing Ordinance). In addition, BridgeNet
Consulting Services International will prepare the acoustical and air quality assessments. All three
of these technical analyses will evaluate the project - related impacts based on vehicular access as
proposed (i.e., from both Jamboree and MacArthur Boulevards) and the alternative scenario you
described, with project vehicular access from Jamboree Boulevard only. The technical studies will
be summarized and appended to the Draft EIR.
As indicated in the scope of services, KKC will work directly with City staff during the preparation
of the Draft EIR and ensure that the City's environmental review process is carefully implemented
and completed. I shall be responsible for project management and preparation of the Draft EIR,
response to public comments, and Final EIR. In addition, the proposal reflects preparation of all
of the requisite CEQA notices associated with the preparation of the document. Finally, we will
prepare the mitigation monitoring and reporting program, findings and statement of overriding
considerations (if necessary), and will attend all public meetings and hearings held for the
proposed project.

PLANNED COMMUNITY TEXT AMENDMENT
NEWPORT BEACH, CA
I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
As indicated above, the scope of services for the Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR)
comprises several discrete steps that implement both the State and City of Newport Beach California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines. The major objective to be achieved is the certification
of the Draft EIR that will require the implementation of several tasks to be undertaken that include,
but not limited to, the following: (1) project management and coordination; (2) preparation of
technical studies; (3) preparation of the Draft EIR; (4) EIR processing and public participation; (5)
preparation of the Final EIR; and (6) preparation of the legal documents that support the Final EIR,
including the Mitigation Monitoring Program, Findings of Fact, and Statement of Overriding
Consideration, if necessary. Each work task to be undertaken is identified and described below.
Task One - Proiect Management/Coordination
Project management will be an integral part of the planning process. As a result, this task will involve
management and coordination of all work to be undertaken to prepare the Draft EIR. In order to
ensure that work associated with the preparation of the Draft EIR is progressing in accordance with the
schedule, meetings as determined necessary will be conducted that include representatives of Keeton
Kreitzer Consulting (KKC), City of Newport Beach, EIR technical consultants, the project applicant
(if desired by the City), and /or other agencies having an interest in the proposed project. Specifically,
this task will accommodate up to six (6) such meetings and will include coordination between the EIR
consultant, City staff, project applicant and /or designated representative, and EIR technical specialists.
In summary, this task will include:
• Management and supervision of the EIR consultant team;
• Coordination of the proposed project and environmental document with the City of
Newport Beach staff to ensure that City policy is incorporated into the Draft EIR;
• Consultation with the City of Newport Beach staff and other responsible agencies as
determined necessary; and
• Attendance at up to six (6) meetings with City staff, project applicant/representative,
and the consultant team.
Estimated Time Frame: As Required
Estimated Budget: $5,400.00

Task Two - Initial Study /Notice of Preoaration (NOP)
The environmental consultant will prepare an initial study utilizing the City of Newport Beach
environmental assessment form. The purpose of the initial study is two -fold: (1) to identify those
issues that will be the subject of the analysis contained in the Draft EIR; and (2) to eliminate from
further analysis those environmental issues, if any, where it can be shown that potential impacts
resulting from project implementation will be less than significant. The cursory environmental analysis
included in the initial study will be based on the existing data base, including previous environmental
document, applicable technical studies, and the City's General Plan. Once the initial study is
completed and the environmental determination made, a Notice of Preparation will be prepared by
KKC. The NOP, together with the initial study, will be distributed via certified mail (return receipt)
to all recipients included on a master distribution list established in consultation with City staff as
determined appropriate by the City of Newport Beach. The recipients will include all responsible and
trustee agencies as well as interested organizations and individuals as determined by the EIR consultant
and City.
Estimated Time Frame: 4 Weeks (including 2 week review by City of Newport Beach)
Estimated Budget: $2,980.00
Task Three - Sub - Consultant Studies
Several technical studies will be required to support the environmental analysis contained in the Draft
EIR. Specifically, these technical studies will include: (1) traffic analysis; (2) acoustical study; and (3)
air quality assessment. A qualified and capable team of sub - consultants has been assembled to
undertake each of these site specific analyses. Each consultant and their respective specialty are
identified below.
Traffic Analysis RKJK 8z Associates, Inc.
Acoustical Analysis BridgeNet Consulting Services, International
Air Quality Assessment BridgeNet Consulting Services, International
Scopes of work for each of the technical studies are presented in Appendix A, attached to this
proposal.
Estimated Time Frame: 7 Weeks
Estimated Budget: $27,600.00
Task Four - Screencheck ElR
The most significant task to be undertaken as part of the proposed work program is that of preparing
the Draft EIR. A Screencheck EIR will be the precursor to the Draft document and will be submitted
to the City for review and comment prior to the preparation of the Draft EIR. This work effort will
encompass both primary and secondary research to establish the ambient environmental conditions,
understand in detail the environmental impacts associated with the proposed project, evaluate
proposed mitigation measures and /or recommend additional mitigation measures to eliminate or
reduce environmental impacts to an acceptable level.

A summary of the information and analyses to be included in each of the sections identified in the
preceding table of contents is presented below.
1.0 Executive Summary
A summary of the project location, description and objectives will be presented in this section as well
as a summary of the potential impacts, mitigation measures, and unavoidable environmental
consequences, presented in a matrix or table format. This section will also include a brief description
of each alternative (including identification of the "environmentally superior" alternative), a list of
potential areas of controversy, and issues to be resolved as required by the State CEQA Guidelines.
2.0 Introduction
This introductory section will identify the purpose and scope of the Draft EIR, the contents of the
document, the authority by which it has been required, the agencies having jurisdiction over the
project, and the intended uses of the document (i.e., subsequent discretionary and /or permit
approvals).
3.0 Project Description
A complete description of the project, including its history and evolution (i.e., Koll Center Newport
Planned Community), location, parameters, phasing (if available), and all actions necessary to
implement the proposed project will be presented in this section. The description will include a
narrative component and statistical tables as appropriate to adequately describe the nature, scope and
intensity of the project. This section will also include a brief presentation of background information
necessary to provide a context for the applications.
4.0 Environmental Analysis
The purpose of this chapter of the Draft EIR is to describe the existing environmental conditions on
the subject property and in the environs and to identify the potential impacts or consequences that
may result from implementation of the proposed project. This section will contain the environmental
6 J

analysis for each issue which has been determined to be the subject of the Draft EIR. The extent of
the analysis and documentation for each issue will be identified in the initial study undertaken in Task
Two as well as in NOP comments received from public agencies and interested parties. In some cases,
the discussion will be a summary of a technical study prepared by a member of the applicant's or EIR
consultant's team. In each case where a technical study will be the basis for the environmental analysis
contained in the EIR, the technical report will be condensed to present the existing environmental
conditions, provide an assessment of the potential project - related impacts, and identify /recommend
appropriate mitigation measures to ensure that the environmental consequences are eliminated or
reduced to a less than significant level, if feasible.
It should be noted that a standard format will be employed to analyze each issue identified in this
proposal thoroughly. This format is presented below with a brief discussion of the information
included within each topic.
Existing Environmental Setting
This introductory section describes the existing environmental conditions related to each issue
analyzed in the Draft EIR. In accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines, both the local and
regional settings are discussed as they exist prior to implementation of the proposed project.
This documentation will serve as the baseline upon which the project - related impacts will be
evaluated.
Significance Criteria
Specific criteria will be identified and presented in this section of the Draft EIR upon which the
significance of the project - related potential impacts are determined. The significance criteria
which are the basis of the environmental analysis contained in the Draft EIR will be derived
from the significant effects presented in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines, adopted
local (i.e., City of Newport Beach, County of Orange, etc.), State and /or federal policies and
programs that may apply, and other commonly accepted technical and non - technical standards
determined to be appropriate by the lead agency (i.e., City of Newport Beach).
Project Design Features /Standard Conditions
This section of the document will identify specific project design features (PDF) that will be
incorporated into the proposed project that are intended to pre -empt project - related impacts
(e.g., incorporation of mature landscaping, etc.) by the applicant as well as standard conditions
(SC) that are typically imposed by regulatory agencies (e.g., adherence to the Uniform
Building Code) on development in order to ensure safety and minimize adverse environmental
effects. The discussion of potential environmental impacts in Chapter 4 will reflect the
incorporation of any PDFs and SCs included this section.
Environmental Impact Analysis
The environmental analysis for each issue which has been determined to be the subject of the
Draft EIR is contained in this section of the document. The extent of the analysis and
documentation for each issue will be identified in the initial study (refer to Task Two). In
some cases, as previously indicated, the discussion will be a summary of a technical study
prepared by the EIR consultant's project team. In such case, the technical report will be
7

0 •
condensed to present the existing environmental conditions, provide an assessment of the
potential project - related impacts, and identify /recommend appropriate mitigation measures
to ensure that the environmental consequences are eliminated or reduced to a less than
significant level, if feasible. All project - related impacts, including those associated with all
phases of the proposed project, will be clearly and adequately analyzed in accordance with the
both City and State CEQA Guidelines. It should be noted that any previous land use studies
and /or other technical documentation prepared by /for the applicant and /or City of Newport
Beach will be utilized to the extent it is applicable to the proposed project. In order to
facilitate the impact analysis, the following outline will be utilized in preparing the project -
related environmental analysis.
Potential Effects of the Project Found to be Insignificant
Short- Term /Construction Impacts
Long- Term /Operational Impacts
Potential Effects of the Project Found to be Significant
Short- Term /Construction Impacts
Long- Term /Operational Impacts
Mitigation Measures
Where a potential significant environmental effect has been identified based on the criteria
identified in analysis and that impact cannot be avoided, mitigation measures will be identified
and included in this section of the document which "... minimize significant adverse impacts ...
for each significant environmental effect identified in the EIR", as prescribed in the State CEQA
Guidelines.
Level of Significance after Mitigation
Unavoidable significant adverse impacts are those effects that either cannot be mitigated or
they remain significant even after mitigation is incorporated into the proposed project. These
significant effects will be identified in this section of the Draft EIR. Prior to approval of the
proposed project, the Newport Beach City Council will be required to adopt a Statement of
Overriding Considerations that Identifies and describes the public benefit(s) associated with
project implementation that offset the significant impacts.
5.0 Cumulative Impacts
This section of the Draft EIR will focus on other projects that are proposed or approved in the project
environs that would create demands on servicing agencies and affect the ability of those agencies to
continue to provide an adequate level of service. The City of Newport Beach will identify any projects
that have been proposed or are approved in the vicinity of the proposed project within its jurisdiction
based on the criteria developed by the City. In addition, the environmental consultant will query
adjacent jurisdictions (e.g., City of Irvine, County of Orange, etc.) in an effort to identify additional
projects in the vicinity of the subject property, also based on the City's criteria. These projects will
be evaluated with the proposed project to determine project - related cumulative impacts. Specific
3�
•
focus of the cumulative analysis will be traffic, noise, and air quality. This section of the Draft EIR will
also provide a discussion of these cumulative projects and their potential impacts on the several issues
analyzed in Chapter 4.0 of the document.
6.0 Alternatives to the Proposed Project
Chapter 6.0 will provide a qualitative and quantitative impact analysis of the alternatives identified by
the City of Newport Beach. Several potential alternatives have been identified in the proposed Table
of Contents presented above; however, the type and number of alternatives to be analyzed in this
Chapter of the Draft EIR will be determined through discussions with the City of Newport Beach staff.
The alternatives that will be identified and included for analysis will be those that are determined to
be feasible and are capable of achieving (some of) the goals of the applicant. It will be necessary to
evaluate the "No Project' Alternative (i.e., existing General Plan /Koll Center Newport PC land uses),
among others.
7.0 Significant Irretrievable Environmental Changes Which Would Be Involved in the Proposed
Action Should It Be Implemented
Those impacts which cannot be avoided, even with the implementation of mitigation measures, will
be identified and summarized from the discussions contained in Chapter 4.0.
8.0 Growth - Inducing Impacts
• The manner in which the project could foster economic and /or population growth, either directly or
indirectly, in the surrounding area will be thoroughly discussed. Specifically, the characteristics of the
project which may encourage and facilitate such other development activities that could significantly
affect the environment, either individually or cumulatively, will also be discussed in this chapter and
their potential effects identified.
9.0 Inventory of Mitigation Measures
This chapter of the document will include a comprehensive listing of the mitigation measures that will
be required as a result of project implementation. This listing of mitigation measures will be used to
create the mitigation monitoring and reporting program that will stipulate the timing and responsibility
for each mitigation measure.
10.0 Inventory of Unavoidable Significant Adverse Impacts
A comprehensive listing of the potential unavoidable adverse impacts (i.e., those that cannot be
mitigated to a less than significant level) that are anticipated as a result of project implementation will
be presented in this section of the Draft EIR. In addition, cumulative impacts that are significant and
unavoidable will also be identified and listed.
11.0 Organizations and Persons Consulted
A comprehensive listing of each individual and the organization with which the individual is associated
will be included in this Chapter of the Draft EIR to document the source of the information utilized
in the environmental analysis.

Subject: Kali Center Newport Traffic Study
Dear Mr. Kreitzer:
INTA DUCTION
The firm of RKJK & ASSOCIATES, INC. (RKJK) is pleased to submit this proposed
Agreement to provide a traffic study for the requested General Plan Amendment to
increase the office entitlements of Koll Center Newport Office Site B by 250,000
gross square feet. Two parking structures are proposed to accommodate the new
requirement and displacement of existing parking. One parking structure would
replace the existing structure located behind the 4000 MacArthur twin 10 -story
towers. The applicant is requesting that the proposed 250,000 square feet of new
office entitlements be partially offset by the conversion of approximately 9,470 square
feet of restaurant and 10,000 square feet of retail uses that are undeveloped and
permitted by the KCN P.C. Text.
The traffic study would provide a Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) short-range
cumulative development analysis and General Plan build -out analysis of the proposed
project to identify potential mitigation requirements to met both short -range
requirements and build -out issues related to a General Plan Amendment. The traffic
study would be based upon peak hour traffic data provided by City staff as well as
traffic modeling work provided by Austin -Foust Associates (AFA). The traffic study
would review the following conditions:
• Build -Out (for existing General Plan)
• Build -Out (for existing General Plan plus Project)
• Build -Out (for existing + project + pending general plan amendments)
• Short -Range Ifor existing + committed projects)
• Short -Range (for existing + committed projects + projectl
• Short -Range (for existing + committed projects + pending projects +

KOLL CENTER NEWPORT BEACH
NOISE ASSESSMENT - SCOPE OF WORK
TASK I - EXISTING SETTING. Tbe existing setting will be described through a modeling
assessment of existing noise sources The noise modeling analysis will be designed to quantify
the existing noise exposure at the adjacent noise sensitive land uses relative to existing tragic
Levels. Traffic noise levels will be determined utt"hang the FHWA Highway Noise Prediction
Model. Noise contours will be determined in terms of the CNEL (Community Noise
Equivalent Level) noise scale for the nearby roadways and those roadways that will carry
project generated traffic. The CNEL scale is used by the County of Orange, the City of
Newport Beach and the State of California in assessing noise and land use compatibility
impacts. The analysis will address the City of Newport Beach noise standards.
TASK 2 - NOISE IMPACTS ON ADJACENT LAND USES. An important part of a noise
analysis is determining the impacts on noise sensitive land uses. This would include residential
land uses, schools and hospitals that are near the project or situated along access streets to the
project. The analysis will address both short-term and long -term noise impacts. Short-term
impacts of the project include construction activities. Long -term impacts include impacts
from increased traffic noise on roadways that carry project related traffic and activities on the
Koll Center site itself.
ZI Short Tent Noise Impacts Short-term noise impacts such as those associated
with construction activities will be described based on the type of equipment that
will be used for the construction of this project. Hours of construction and the
estimated construction duration will be presented. Construction impacts will
inchrde the developments on the project site, including the demolition of the existing
parking str let re.
2.2 Impacts from Project Generated Tmf w, The noise impacts from project
generated traffic will be assessed in terms of increase in the noise levels on land uses
that are adjacent to roadways that will carry project related traffic. The noise levels
for with and without the proposed project will be detcrmined, and any increase will
be quantified, and compared with applicable noise assessment criteria. These will
be determined for the streets analyzed within the EIR.
23 Impacts from On -Site Development, The potential impacts from noise as a
result of development on the Koll Center Newport site itself will be addressed. This
will include noise from mechanical equipment and parking structure activities at
commercial developments. Compliance relative to the City of Newport Beach
Noise Ordinances will be identified.

AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT - SCOPE OF WORK
TASK 1 - EXISTING AIR QUALITY ENVIRONMENT. The existing air environment
will be described in terms of meteorology, local topography affecting pollutant dispersion, and
ambient air monitoring data A summary of crrreat air management efforts, which may be
related to the proposed project, will be provided. Sensitive receptor areas within the project
vicinity will be identified. The Caline Model, developed by the California Department of
Transportation, will be used to establish baseline carbon monoxide Levels in the vicinity of the
project.
TASK 2 - POTENTIAL AIR QUALITY
The air quality impacts of the proposed project can be divided into the short term dust
generation, local air impacts, and regional impacts.
21 Conamdion Impacts Short-term dust and emission generation due
construction activities will be forecasted. Measures to reduce dust generation
ate required by the South Coast Air Quality Management District, and will
be discussed in detail
22 Regional Impacts. Long term emissions will be generated due to
increased tram, the combustion of natural gas, and the generation of
electricity. The emissions generated by these sources will be assessed for the
project. These emissions will be cow to regional and sub - regional
emissions to assess the potential for regional air quality impacts. The primary
regional air-planning document is the "Air Quality Management Plan," and a
discussion of the project's consistency with the plan will also be provided.
23 ,Local Air Impats. Canna, a computer model developed by the
California Department of Transportation, will be used to assess local
pollutant concentrations along major roadways near sensitive areas The
model will be used to assess on -site pollntatt levels. Analysis will be
conducted to mom that activities associated with the project will be
consistent with the air levels gm(er ded by the nearby major roadways.
Additionally, the Caline model will be used to assess potential impact areas
The intersections local to the project may experience a substantial trallic
increase due to the project. The resulting air quality levels at the intersections
will be analyzed to determine the potential impact of the project. An
estimated two intersections will be modeled (for with and without the
additional access on MacArthur Boulevard)

TASK 3 - COMPATIBILITY OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT WITH FUTURE
NOISE LEVELS. Ultimate noise levels on the project site will be determined for the traffic
noise sources and commercial development. The analysis will include an assessment of the
compatibility of the proposed uses with the projected noise levels. The analysis will include an
assessment relative to the CNEL criterion.
TASK 4 - DEVELOP MITIGATION MEASURES. Mitigation measures to minimize any
potential noise impact of the proposed project will be developed. These measures may
mclude site design, mechanical equipment siting, and indoor /outdoor budding noise reduction.
