Newport Beach was sued on environmental grounds after approving an apartment complex at the Koll Center business park near John Wayne Airport. The plaintiff argued the city failed to adequately assess the projects impacts on noise, traffic and air pollution. that found CEQA had been used as grounds for hundreds of “frivolous” lawsuits to block housing, including senior and affordable developments, a homeless shelter and environmental projects.
The Newport Beach development cited in a lawsuit by Olen Properties will be built atop a Koll Center parking lot at the intersection of Birch Street and Von Karman Avenue. The 13-acre development called the Residences at 4400 Von Karman includes a new parking structure and a 1.1-acre park. Geoffrey Willis, counsel for Olen Properties, complained that a city addendum to an earlier environmental impact report failed to adequately address all the possible environmental consequences of a new apartment building.
