OASTAL Living AT ITS BEST A stunning landscape and slow pace, balanced with a strong sense of community make Laguna Niguel a family friendly place to live, work and play. Between the boundaries of Los Angeles and San Diego, beach towns and coastal communities abound. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s none quite like Laguna Niguel. This rare find is cradled by a spectacular landscape, and its smaller size helps foster a strong sense of family and community.

IT IS ALSO ONE OF THE FIRST MASTERPLANNED COMMUNITIES IN CALIFORNIA. THAT FOUNDATION CONTINUES TO BE INFLUENTIAL AS THE CITY GROWS. AND AS THE LAGUNA NIGUEL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE APPROACHES ITS 35TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2017, THERE IS MUCH TO CELEBRATE. 8 I

ocated in the rolling hills and coastal canyons leading to the Pacific Ocean, Laguna Niguel has seemingly unlocked the secret for great coastal living in slow, easy style. Exceptional quality of life is the community standard. Its 65,000+ residents enjoy an upscale but laid back lifestyle in a safe community with stunning natural beauty at every angle. And if the itch for a big city experience arises, Los Angeles and San Diego are just an hourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive away. Los Angeles and Riverside, California, are also accessible via Metrolink. Residents can catch the Orange County Line and the Inland Empire Orange County Line from the Metrolink station in Laguna Niguel. Like much of Southern California, Laguna Niguel has pleasant weather year-round, with average high temperatures ranging from 67 to 79 degrees. The city also enjoys a low crime rate. It is considered to be one of the safest cities in Orange County. It is also one of the first masterplanned communities in California. That foundation, established more than 50 years ago, continues to be influential as the city grows. And as the Laguna Niguel Chamber of Commerce approaches its 35th anniversary in 2017, there is much to celebrate. Case in point is the new development in the Gateway area of the city. Formerly an industrial area, the Gateway is being transformed into a walkable urban neighborhood. In 2016, the City of Laguna Niguel welcomed the first residents into the Gateway area with the completion of the Apex and Skye residential communities. Residents benefit from the newly established Oso Creek Riding and Hiking Trail, which has created a pedestrian friendly zone, providing Gateway area residents, workers and customers with direct and easy access by foot to the Metrolink station and businesses within the area. The trail is also a key element in the City and County Master Plan of Trails and Bikeways and provides connections to trails in neighboring cities. The City was awarded almost $2.3 million in grant

There comes a time when many older people no longer want to live in the big family home, but instead opt to move into a retirement community. Today seniors are looking for luxury, comfort, care, and an array of services and amenities that enhance and fulfill everyday living. One community that meets this standard is Crestavilla, a new resort-style senior living community, opening in 2017. Unparalleled amongst senior living communities in the area, Crestavilla is nestled in the heart of Laguna Niguel. It will offer the best in inspired coastal living for seniors; with a stunning location, beautiful open atrium style architectural designs and the finest amenities and services comparable to a five-star resort. Life at Crestavilla begins by choosing a residence option that is best suited to a persons needs. It provides residents with senior living options at any stage of retirement. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first senior living community in the area to offer residents a continuum of care with independent living, assisted living and memory care all in one location. Crestavilla has 176 independent and assisted living studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom residences, giving active seniors the comforts of home with the convenience of resort-like services and amenities. Here residents continue to enjoy private dwellings, control over their own schedules, and freedom to come and go as they choose. Licensed services are available for those who choose or require help with their daily living needs but wish to remain as independent as possible. Crestavilla has 25 memory care suites for seniors with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or other forms of dementia. The separate, specially designed and dedicated memory care neighborhood ensures the comfort, care and security of residents.

LAGUNA NIGUEL one-third of the city is designated as open space. More than 30 city and county parks are connected by a handful of walking trails that meander through or around the city’s many neighborhoods. There is also an extensive trail system running throughout the community, which enhances the city’s distinctive lifestyle. Crown Valley Community Park

MORE THAN 30 CITY AND COUNTY PARKS ARE CONNECTED BY A HANDFUL OF WALKING TRAILS THAT MEANDER THROUGH OR AROUND THE CITY’S MANY NEIGHBORHOODS. serves as the center of the City’s recreational activities and attracts more than 240,000 people a year. The park is home to Crown Valley Community Pool, the Laguna Niguel Labyrinth, the Niguel Botanical Preserve, a Sprayground, an amphitheater that is home to the City’s Summer Concert Series, two playgrounds, rental facilities and a variety of sports fields. The Laguna Niguel Family YMCA is also located within Crown Valley Community Park, offering members access to a cardio center, two weight rooms, group exercise rooms, an indoor rock wall, basketball courts, and more. As much of an asset as Crown Valley Community Park is, it’s going to get even better. The Park is currently undergoing new entry improvements, the second of three major renovation projects planned. This phase of improvements is expected to be complete in June 2017 and includes a new culvert crossing to replace an existing dip crossing, so the park entry does not need to be closed due to flooding during 14 I

swimming pool, and more. The YMCA also wanted to make reformer available to the community for less, with sessions as low as $14 and the unlimited experience for as little as $130 a month.

YMCA Pilates Reformer Training Developed from the techniques of Joseph Pilates, the Reformer System can benefit the fitness goals of everyone. Whether you are just beginning or a trained athlete, your road to improved posture, increased flexibility, advanced muscle tone, body re-shaping and reduced body fat starts in one of our many conveniently timed small group classes. Over the last few years reformer studios have become popular and clients are seeing great results. As Joseph Pilates put it, “In 10 sessions, you’ll feel the difference, in 20 sessions, you’ll see a difference, and in 30 sessions you’ll have a completely different body. ” The Executive Director of the YMCA Jennifer Heinen says that she became an

advocate for reformer herself after her first class. She says, “Just after my first session I felt different. I was much more aware of my posture and what it truly meant to engage my core. And, I felt an energy that really lasted.” She knew it was something she wanted to bring to the Y community. In Fall 2016 the Laguna Niguel Family YMCA opened a Pilates Reformer Studio inside the YMCA fitness center in Crown Valley Community Park. The YMCA saw the many benefits that reformer brings and recognized that the boutique experience could be brought inside its walls. Members not only get reformer training from great instructors, but all the other amenities the YMCA has to offer such as child watch during workouts, cardio equipment,

The development will also include exciting community and cultural art activities and opportunities such as an outdoor performance stage, space for festivals and markets, and community center and event space. Conceptual plans continue to

be developed for this exciting new project. The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared and includes a comprehensive traffic analysis and other studies for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, including an analysis of the proposed residential component of not-to-exceed 200 units. It is anticipated that the Planning Commission will hold public hearings and consider the EIR in February 2017, followed by the City Council in March 2017. For additional information including the latest hearing schedule, contact Planning Manager John Morgan, at (949) 362-4360 or visit www.CityofLagunaNiguel.org.

CITY PROJECTS

Laguna Niguel Gateway

In 2017, the Gateway area will continue to see more activity. Broadstone, the first mixed-use project with ground floor retail on Forbes Road, is expected to open in spring 2017. A second mixed-use project on Forbes Road is anticipated to start construction in early 2017. Grading and construction of the residential project by the Picerne Group on Cabot Road will also continue. Design work is underway for the westbound Crown Valley Parkway widening from I-5 to Cabot Road which will be the final phase of widening for this portion of the roadway through the Gateway area. The improvements will include a fourth travel lane,

n 2016, the City of Laguna Niguel welcomed the first residents into the Gateway area with the completion of the Apex and Skye residential communities. In March 2016, the City completed the Oso Creek Riding and Hiking Trail to help create a more walkable environment with direct pedestrian access for the new residents, workers and customers to the Metrolink station and business within the area. The trail is also a key element in the City and County Master Plan of Trails and Bikeways and provides connections to trails in our neighboring cities. The City was awarded almost $2.3 million in grant funds to help pay for the $3.5 million construction project.

right turn lanes, bike lane, trail connections, sidewalks, landscaped medians and new entry monument signs. Construction is currently anticipated to start in late 2018. As many as 3,000 new dwelling units and 2.25 million square feet of office, retail, restaurant, and hotel uses can be built in the Gateway as the area transforms from an older industrial area into a transit and pedestrianoriented urban neighborhood, with high-density housing located in proximity to jobs, services, and the Metrolink transit station.

COMMUNITY BANK SHOWS ITS cbank.com ||949.373.8490 COMMITMENT TO THE OC

SBA Preferred Lender | Member FDIC | Equal Housing Lender Community Bank continues to be an active partner with businesses and charitable organizations throughout the Orange County community. The most recent commitment to OC is the newly opened Laguna Niguel location. The banking team is led by Malinda Goller, Regional Vice President, and Julie Lungo, VP and Relationship Manager, who are long time Orange County residents. Mary Groth, Customer Service Manager and Angela Russick, Customer Service Officer are seasoned operations staff. The team offers a customercentric banking philosophy with an intimate knowledge of the local business climate and customers. With Orange County totals of more than $380 million in loans and $290 million in deposits, Community Bank’s OC footings are equivalent to the 10th largest bank headquartered in Orange County. Community Bank employs more than 47 employees in the county and three of its board members call OC home. The Chairman of the Board, Marshall V. Laitsch, is a veteran banker and an OC resident. In February, OC resident Robert J. Kushner, CPA, joined the Board of Directors to help guide the Bank with his regional banking expertise. In addition, Community Bank is proud to support children and the arts in the OC. Our commitment can be seen in the Bank’s support of OC charities such as the OC Museum of Art, the Segerstrom Center, the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation, Healthy Smiles, Irvine Children’s Fund, Jr. Achievement, American Red Cross, MIND Research Institute and numerous schools. A true community bank is focused on more than just being your partner for banking. Being a partner with the broader community is also an important aspect of being a community bank. Community Bank is committed to playing an increasingly significant role as a family-owned, client focused partner with companies and causes in Orange County.

Malinda Goller, Regional Vice President Malinda Goller grew up in south Orange County and began her banking career at Monarch Bank. Most recently, she worked at American Security Bank specializing in the development and management of customer relationships. Malinda focuses on small to midsize local businesses and has expertise in escrow and property management companies. As a native of south Orange County she has an intimate knowledge of the business climate and the needs of customers in the area. Malinda’s customer centric philosophy ensures that every customer receives exceptional customer service.

Julie Lungo, Vice President and Relationship Manager Julie Lungo began her banking career over thirty years ago at Manufacturers Bank in downtown Los Angeles. After moving to Laguna Niguel she joined the home grown Monarch Bank and focused on serving small, local businesses. As small banks were bought by larger banks, the business models changed. Julie made the decision to join Community Bank so that she could go back to helping small businesses with their banking needs. With over twenty years expertise in providing credit for local businesses, Julie is ready to partner with your business.
