            This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D amends and restates the
Schedule 13D dated July 3, 1996, as previously amended (as so amended, the
"Schedule 13D").

Item 1.  Security and Company.

            The class of equity securities to which this statement relates is
the Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), of Irvine Apartment
Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"). The Company is the
successor to Irvine Apartment Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Delaware Company"), which merged with and into the Company on May 2, 1996. All
references herein to the Company are deemed to be references to the Delaware
Company, where such references relate to dates prior to May 2, 1996. The
principal executive offices of the Company are located at 550 Newport Center
Drive, Suite 300, Newport Beach, CA 92660.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

            This Schedule 13D is being filed by: The Irvine Company, a Michigan
corporation ("TIC"); TIC Investment Company A, a California general partnership
("TICICA"); TIC Investment Company C, a California general partnership 
("TICICC"); and Mr. Donald Bren.

            TIC is the owner and developer of the Irvine Ranch, a 90 square mile
parcel of land located in central Orange County in Southern California. TIC's
principal business consists of the ownership, development, management


                                  Page 6 of 39
<PAGE>   7
and leasing of real estate on the Irvine Ranch. TIC is a limited partner of
Irvine Apartment Communities, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Operating Partnership"), of which the Company is the sole general partner. TIC,
directly or indirectly, owned Irvine Affordable Housing, Inc. ("IAH") and the
seven limited partnerships and one general partnership that, together with TIC,
contributed in December 1993 properties (or, in one case, a 99% general and
limited interest in a limited partnership that owns a property) to the Operating
Partnership in exchange for limited partnership units ("L.P. Units") in the
Operating Partnership. TIC is currently the sole general partner of two such
limited partnerships. On June 30, 1995 the other five limited partnerships were
liquidated and the L.P. Units owned by them were transferred to TIC. TIC and one
of its wholly-owned subsidiaries were the general partners of the general
partnership which on June 24, 1996 was liquidated and the L.P. Units owned by it
were transferred to TIC. TIC was also the sole shareholder of Irvine Lease Co.,
Inc. ("ILCI"), which purchased 1,500,000 L.P. Units on August 9, 1995 as more
fully disclosed in Item 3 below, and also purchased 2,105 additional L.P. Units
on May 30, 1996. The L.P. Units owned by ILCI were transferred to TICICA on June
21, 1996. Together, TIC, TICICA, TICICC, the two limited partnerships, TIC
Investment Company B, a California general partnership ("TICICB") (see item 3
below), and TIC Investment Company D, a California general partnership


                                  Page 7 of 39
<PAGE>   8
("TICICD") (See item 3 below), own 99.7% of the limited partnership interests in
the Operating Partnership, representing a 54.8% interest in the Operating
Partnership. The address of the principal business and the principal office of
TIC is 550 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660.

            TIC is the managing general partner (holding a 99% partnership
interest) of each of TICICA, TICICB, TICICC and TICICD. DBIAC Investment
Company, a California corporation ("DBIAC"), holds the remaining 1% general
partnership interest of each of TICICA, TICICB, TICICC and TICICD. The sole
shareholder of DBIAC is the Donald L. Bren Trust, dated June 26, 1987, as
amended, of which Mr. Donald Bren is the sole trustee. The principal business of
each of TICICA and TICICC is to acquire, hold title to and/or lease real or
personal property in Orange County, California. The address of the principal
executive offices and principal business of each of TICICA and TICICC is 550
Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660.

            Information as to each executive officer and director of TIC is set
forth in Schedule A attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Information as to each executive officer and director of DBIAC is set forth in
Schedule B attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

            Mr. Bren is the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive
Officer, as well as the sole


                                  Page 8 of 39
<PAGE>   9
shareholder, of TIC. Mr. Bren disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares
directly or indirectly owned by TIC, TICICA, TICICB, TICICC and TICICD.

            During the last five years, neither TIC, TICICA, TICICC nor any
other person controlling TIC, TICICA or TICICC nor, to the best of their
knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule A or Schedule B attached
hereto, nor any person listed in Item 5 or the footnotes thereto, has been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

            In December 1993, TIC directly transferred certain rental apartment
communities (or, in one case, a 99% general and limited partnership interest in
a limited partnership that owns a property) to the Operating Partnership in
exchange for 15,784,000 L.P. Units.

            In December 1993, TIC, acting as the general partner of two limited
partnerships and one general partnership, transferred certain rental apartment
communities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for


                                  Page 9 of 39
<PAGE>   10
1,304,000 L.P. Units. On June 24, 1996, the general partnership was liquidated
and the 160,000 L.P. Units owned by it were transferred to TIC. Upon such
liquidation and transfer, the general partnership ceased to be a limited partner
of the Operating Partnership.

            In December 1993, IAH, acting as the general partner of five limited
partnerships transferred certain rental apartment communities in exchange for
1,359,000 L.P. Units. On June 30, 1995, such limited partnerships were
liquidated and the 1,359,000 L.P. Units were transferred to TIC.

            The foregoing December 1993 transactions were conducted in
connection with the creation of an umbrella partnership real estate investment
trust (an "UP-REIT") as described in greater detail in the Prospectus forming a
part of the Form S-11 Registration Statement (File No. 33-68830) of the Company
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.

            In March 1995, in connection with TIC's sale, through IAH, of an
apartment community land site to the Operating Partnership pursuant to the Land
Rights Agreement (as defined in Item 6), TIC, through IAH, received, upon
consummation of the sale, as payment of the purchase price by the Operating
Partnership, 336,432 L.P. Units. In November 1995 and March 1996, in connection
with TIC's sale, through IAH, of an apartment community land site to the
Operating Partnership pursuant to the Land Rights Agreement,


                                  Page 10 of 39
<PAGE>   11
TIC, through IAH, received, upon consummation of the sale, as partial payment of
the purchase price by the Operating Partnership, 113,372 L.P. Units and 28,358
L.P. Units, respectively. In each case, the number of L.P. Units payable to TIC
was equal to the purchase price in dollars divided by the average of the closing
prices of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") for the 10
trading days immediately preceding the closing date of the applicable sale. The
478,162 L.P. Units owned by IAH were transferred to TICICB in June 1996.

            On August 9, 1995, the Company sold 5,175,000 Shares to a group of
underwriters at a price of $16.305 per Share (net of the underwriting discount)
in an underwritten public offering (the "Offering"). The Company contributed the
net proceeds of the Offering of $84,378,375 to the Operating Partnership. On the
same date, TIC, exercising its right pursuant to the Partnership Agreement to
make an additional capital contribution to the Operating Partnership, made a
contribution of $25,875,000 to the Operating Partnership through its
wholly-owned subsidiary ILCI, for which ILCI received 1,500,000 L.P. Units. For
the purpose of calculating adjusted ownership interests in the Operating
Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, such contribution was reduced
to $24,457,500 (by deducting an amount equal to the underwriting discount that
would have been applicable to Shares if such contribution had been used to
acquire Shares in the Offering). On June 21, 1996, such


                                  Page 11 of 39
<PAGE>   12
1,500,000 L.P. Units together with an additional 2,105 L.P. Units owned by ILCI
were transferred to TICICA.

            On July 3, 1996, the Company sold 1,490,700 Shares directly to a
group of institutional investors at a price of $20.125 per Share (the "Direct
Sale"). The Company contributed the net proceeds of the Direct Sale of
$30,000,337.50 to the Operating Partnership. On the same date, TIC, exercising
its right pursuant to the Partnership Agreement to make an additional capital
contribution to the Operating Partnership, made a contribution of $30,000,337.50
to the Operating Partnership through TICICC, for which TICICC received 1,490,700
L.P. Units.

            On July 30, 1996, December 23, 1996 and February 10, 1997, TICICD
sold apartment community land sites to the Operating Partnership pursuant to the
Land Rights Agreement. TICICC received as payment of the purchase price 115,544,
244,657 and 313,439 L.P. Units, respectively, which in each case was equal to
the purchase price in dollars divided by the average of the closing prices of
the Common Stock on the NYSE for the ten trading days immediately preceding the
closing date of the applicable sale.

            On August 30, 1996, TICICC purchased 7,637 L.P. Units from the
Operating Partnership at a purchase price of $22.112 for 7,330 of such L.P.
Units and $22.563 for 307 of such L.P. Units. On November 27, 1996, TICICC
purchased 6,109 L.P. Units from the Operating Partnership at a


                                  Page 12 of 39
<PAGE>   13
purchase price of $23.398 for 5,939 of such L.P. Units and $23.875 for 170 of
such L.P. Units. On February 28, 1996, TICICC purchased 6,221 L.P. Units from
the Operating Partnership at a purchase price of $26.338 for 5,981 of such L.P.
Units and $26.875 for 240 of such L.P. Units. All three purchases were made 
pursuant to the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Additional Cash Investment 
Plan (the "DRIP Plan").

            On February 20, 1997, the Company sold 1,150,000 shares to a group
of underwriters at a price of $26.06 per Share (net of the underwriting
discount) in an underwritten public offering (the "Secondary Offering"). The
Company contributed the net proceeds of the Secondary Offering of $29,969,000 to
the Operating Partnership. On the same date, TIC, exercising its right pursuant
to the Partnership Agreement to make an additional capital contribution to the
Operating Partnership, made a contribution of $36,332,695.64 to the Operating
Partnership through TICICC, for which TICICC received 1,394,194 L.P. Units at a
price of $26.06 per L.P. Unit.

            Subject to the terms of the Partnership Agreement (defined below in
Item 4) and certain ownership limit provisions set forth in the Articles of
Amendment and Restatement of the Company (as amended by Articles of Merger dated
May 2, 1996, the "Articles of Incorporation"), the outstanding L.P. Units of the
Operating Partnership are exchangeable for Shares at an exchange ratio of one
Share for each L.P. Unit, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Partnership
Agreement. However, pursuant to an agreement with the NYSE, in connection with
the listing of the Shares, TIC, TICICB and TICICD have agreed, pursuant to


                                  Page 13 of 39
<PAGE>   14
the agreements dated May 2, 1996, December 23, 1996 and February 10, 1997, not
to convert an aggregate of 405,456 units into Shares without the approval of the
Company's stockholders.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

            TIC acquired the L.P. Units that are exchangeable into Shares for
investment purposes.

            In each of January 1995, October 1995 and February 1996, the Board
of Directors of the Company approved the acquisition by the Operating
Partnership of an apartment community land site from TIC pursuant to the Land
Rights Agreement. The sale of the sites closed in March 1995, November 1995 and
March 1996, respectively. The net cash purchase price for the site sold in March
1995 was $5,418,381 and was paid by the Operating Partnership in L.P. Units. The
net cash purchase price for the sites sold in November 1995 and March 1996 was
$4,190,000 and $2,519,000, respectively, and was paid by the Operating
Partnership in part through the issuance of L.P. Units. In each case, the number
of L.P. Units received by TIC, through IAH, was determined as provided in Item 3
above. All such L.P. Units owned by IAH were transferred to TICICB in June 1996
as provided in Item 2 above. Upon such transfer, IAH ceased to be a limited
partner of the Operating Partnership.

            On June 30, 1995 the five limited partnerships of which IAH was the
sole general partner were liquidated and


                                  Page 14 of 39
<PAGE>   15
the 1,359,000 L.P. Units owned by such limited partnerships were transferred to
TIC. Upon such liquidation and transfer, such limited partnerships ceased to be
limited partners of the Operating Partnership.

            On August 9, 1995 and May 30, 1996, upon the receipt by the
Operating Partnership of the capital contribution from ILCI, ILCI received a
limited partner unit certificate representing 1,500,000 L.P. Units and 2,105
L.P. Units, respectively. ILCI was admitted as an additional limited partner of
the Operating Partnership on August 9, 1995. ILCI acquired all such L.P. Units,
which are exchangeable for Shares on a one-for-one basis, for investment
purposes. All such L.P. Units were transferred to TICICA on June 21, 1996,
TICICA was admitted to the Operating Partnership as a Substitute Limited Partner
and ILCI ceased to be a limited partner of the Operating Partnership. TICICA
acquired such L.P. Units for investment purposes.

            On July 3, 1996, upon the receipt by the Operating Partnership of
the capital contribution from TICICC, TICICC received a limited partner unit
certificate representing 1,490,700 L.P. Units and was admitted as an additional
limited partner of the Operating Partnership. TICICC acquired such L.P. Units,
which are exchangeable for Shares on a one-for-one basis, for investment
purposes.

            Similarly, on February 20, 1997, upon the receipt by the Operating
Partnership of the capital contribution


                                 Page 15 of 39
<PAGE>   16
from TICICC, TICICC received a limited partner unit certificate representing
1,394,194 L.P. Units. TICICC acquired such L.P. Units, which are exchangeable
for shares on a one-for-one basis, for investment purposes, and TICICC
acquired all L.P. Units that are exchangeable for Shares pursuant to the DRIP
Plan for investment purposes.

            On December 1, 1993, TIC, directly and as general partner of certain
limited partnerships and one general partnership, and IAH as general partner of
certain limited partnerships (collectively, the "TIC Entities"), entered into an
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Irvine Apartment
Communities, L.P. with the Company dated as of that date (as amended, the
"Partnership Agreement"). In accordance with the Partnership Agreement and as
described in Item 3, the TIC Entities effected the transfer of certain rental
apartment communities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for an aggregate
of 18,447,000 L.P. Units. Copies of the Partnership Agreement and all amendments
thereto are filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
The description herein of the Partnership Agreement is qualified in its entirety
by reference thereto.

            The Company, as the sole general partner of the Operating
Partnership, has unilateral control over the management, operation and business
of the Operating Partnership including the ability to cause the Operating
Partnership to enter into certain major transactions including acquisitions,
refinancings and the selection of property managers and any changes in the
Operating


                                  Page 16 of 39
<PAGE>   17
Partnership's distribution policies. The Board of Directors of the Company
manages the affairs of the Operating Partnership.

            Pursuant to the Miscellaneous Rights Agreement dated March 20, 1996
between the Company, the Operating Partnership and TIC (the "Miscellaneous
Rights Agreement"), TIC has the right to nominate three persons to the Board of
Directors of the Company so long as TIC, its affiliates, the stockholders of TIC
and their affiliates or immediate family members beneficially own at least 20%
of the Shares of the Company (including for these purposes Shares issuable upon
exchange of L.P. Units). In the event that this ownership falls below 20% but is
at least 15%, TIC will have the right to nominate two persons for election to
the Board of Directors, and if this ownership falls below 15% but is at least
10%, TIC will have the right to nominate one person for election to the Board of
Directors. A copy of the Miscellaneous Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 12
hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The description herein of the
Miscellaneous Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference
thereto.

            Pursuant to the above, three TIC nominees have been elected to the
Company's nine member Board of Directors. Pursuant to Section 3.4 of the
Miscellaneous Rights Agreement, the Company agrees not to increase the size of
the Board of Directors to more than ten persons or to decrease the size of the
Board of Directors to less than


                                  Page 17 of 39
<PAGE>   18
eight persons without the written consent of Irvine Persons (as defined therein)
then owning, directly or indirectly, Shares or L.P. Units. Pursuant to Article
Ninth of the Articles of Incorporation and Article III of the Company's Amended
By-laws (the "Amended By-laws"), the consent of directors representing more than
75% of the entire Board of Directors is required with respect to certain actions
including (i) a change of control (as defined in Article Ninth of the Articles
of Incorporation); (ii) the amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation
or Amended By-laws, or the Partnership Agreement; (iii) any waiver or
modification of the ownership limits provisions set forth in the Articles of
Incorporation; (iv) the merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially
all the assets of the Company or the Operating Partnership; (v) the issuance
under certain circumstances of certain equity securities of the Company; (vi)
for the Company to take title to assets or to conduct business other than
through the Operating Partnership, or for the Company or the Operating
Partnership to engage in any business other than the ownership, construction,
development and operation of multi-family rental apartment communities; (vii)
making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (viii) terminating
the Company's status as a REIT for tax purposes. Copies of the Articles of
Incorporation (Exhibits 13 and 14) and the Amended By-laws (Exhibit 15) are
incorporated herein by reference. The description herein of the Articles of


                                  Page 18 of 39
<PAGE>   19
Incorporation and the Amended By-laws is qualified in its entirety by reference
thereto.

            Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the consent of a majority of
the outstanding L.P. Units is required with respect to certain extraordinary
actions involving the Operating Partnership including (i) the amendment,
modification or termination of the Partnership Agreement, (ii) a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors or the appointment of a custodian,
receiver or trustee for any of the assets of the Operating Partnership, (iii)
the institution of any proceeding for bankruptcy of the Operating Partnership,
(iv) the transfer of any general partnership interests in the Operating
Partnership, including through any merger, consolidation or liquidation of the
Company, subject to certain exceptions, (v) the admission of any additional or
substitute general partner in the Operating Partnership; (vi) for the Company to
take title to assets (other than temporarily in connection with an acquisition
prior to contributing such assets to the Operating Partnership) or to conduct
business other than through the Operating Partnership; and (vii) for the Company
or the Operating Partnership to engage in any business other than the ownership,
construction, development and operation of apartment communities.

            In addition, until such time as the Company owns 90% or more of the
total percentage interest in the Operating Partnership, the consent of the
limited partners


                                  Page 19 of 39
<PAGE>   20
holding a majority interest in the L.P. Units will also be required with respect
to the liquidation of the Operating Partnership, the sale or other transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Operating Partnership and certain
mergers and business combinations resulting in the complete disposition of all
L.P. Units.

            As general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the
ability to cause the Operating Partnership to issue additional units of general
and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. In the event
that the Operating Partnership issues new L.P. Units (for cash but not
property), TIC will have the right to purchase L.P. Units at a purchase price
equal to the purchase price in the transaction giving rise to such participation
right in order, and to the extent necessary, to maintain its percentage interest
in the Operating Partnership.

            Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, TIC and the other limited
partners of the Operating Partnership, their affiliates and certain related
persons have certain rights, exercisable once in each twelve-month period
beginning on December 8, 1994 to exchange generally up to one-third of the L.P.
Units owned by them for Shares (subject to the applicable ownership limit
provision of the Articles of Incorporation) and to tender up to one-third of the
L.P. Units owned by them to the Company for cash payable solely out of the net
proceeds of an offering of the Shares.


                                  Page 20 of 39
<PAGE>   21
            In the event that the Company issues (whether for cash or property)
any Shares or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for,
Shares, TIC, subject to certain limited exceptions, including the issuance of
Shares pursuant to any stock incentive plan adopted by the Company or pursuant
to TIC's exercise of the exchange rights or cash tender rights described above,
will have the right to purchase Shares or such securities at a purchase price
equal to the purchase price in the transaction giving rise to the participation
rights in order to maintain its interest in the Company and the Operating
Partnership on a consolidated basis. However, other stockholders of the Company
would have no participation rights to purchase Shares or such securities and any
such issuances might cause a dilution of a stockholder's investment in the
Company.

            The purpose of the TIC Entities in entering into the Partnership
Agreement and creating an UP-REIT structure was to provide new opportunities for
growth and to enhance the overall value of the contributed properties by
reducing the existing level of indebtedness and the amount of interest payable
after the Company's initial public offering. As a publicly-owned entity, TIC
believes that the Company has access to the public debt and equity capital
markets, which will provide increased opportunities for the development or
acquisition of apartment communities.

            TIC intends to review from time to time the Company's business
affairs and financial position. Based on


                                  Page 21 of 39
<PAGE>   22
such evaluation and review, as well as general economic and industry conditions
existing at the time, TIC may consider from time to time various alternative
courses of action. Such actions may include, subject to the ownership limit
provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, the acquisition of Shares through
open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offer, exchange
offer or otherwise. Alternatively, such actions may involve the exchange of L.P.
Units for Shares, the exercise of the cash tender rights or the sale of all or a
portion of the Shares or L.P. Units in the open market, in privately negotiated
transactions, through a public offering or otherwise. Except as set forth above,
TIC has no plan or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the
transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule
13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Company.

            (a) The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of each
person named in Item 2. The number of Shares beneficially owned through rights
to acquire represents the number of Shares into which L. P. Units beneficially
owned by the person are exchangeable. The percentage of all Shares of Common
Stock/L.P. Units owned assumes, with respect to each person, that all L.P. Units
beneficially owned by the person are exchanged for Shares


                                  Page 22 of 39
<PAGE>   23
and that none of the L.P. Units held by other persons are exchanged for Shares.

(1)   The 24,005,968 L.P. Units include (i) 15,784,000 L.P. Units that TIC
      received directly in exchange for its transfer of certain rental apartment
      communities to the Operating Partnership, (ii) 1,359,000 L.P. Units that
      TIC received upon liquidation of certain limited partnerships that
      contributed rental apartment communities to the Operating Partnerships,
      (iii) the 160,000 L.P. Units that TIC received upon liquidation of the
      general partnership that contributed rental apartment communities to the
      Operating Partnership, (iv) 478,162 L.P. Units that TIC controls through
      its general partnership interest in TICICB, (v) 1,144,000 L.P. Units that
      TIC controls as the general partner of two limited partnerships that
      contributed rental apartment communities to the Operating Partnership,
      (vi) 4,406,966 L.P. Units that TIC controls through its general
      partnership interest in TICICA and TICICC and (vii) 673,840 L.P. Units
      that TIC controls through its general partnership interest in TICICD.

(2)   Assumes all of the L.P. Units are exchanged for Shares, without regard to
      certain ownership limit provisions set forth in the Articles of
      Incorporation. It is not anticipated that these ownership limit provisions
      will be waived. TIC has the right, once in every twelve month period
      beginning on December 8, 1994, generally to exchange up to one third of
      the L.P. Units for Shares at an exchange ratio of one L.P. Unit for each
      Share, subject to adjustment. The Articles of Incorporation place a limit
      on ownership by TIC, Mr. Bren and their affiliates, in the aggregate, of
      20% of the Shares.

(3)   Excludes 405,456 L.P. Units held by TICICB and TICICD which may not,
      pursuant to arrangements with the NYSE and agreements with the Company, be
      converted to Shares without approval of the Company's stockholders.

(4)   The 2,904,861 L.P. Units are also included in the 24,005,968 L.P. Units
      deemed to be beneficially owned by TIC because TIC is the managing general
      partner of TICICC.

(5)   The 1,502,105 L.P. Units were transferred to TICICA from ILCI on June 21,
      1996. The 1,502,105 L.P. Units are also included in the 24,005,968 L.P.
      Units deemed to be beneficially owned by TIC because TIC is the managing
      general partner of TICICA.

(6)   DBIAC is the 1% general partner of TICICA, TICICB, TICICC and TICICD,
      which in the aggregate own 5,558,968 L.P. Units (including 405,456 L.P.
      Units not convertible to Shares without approval of the Company's
      stockholders; see footnote 3). TIC is the managing general partner of
      TICICA, TICICB, TICICC and TICICD and such L.P. Units are included in the
      24,005,968 L.P. Units deemed to be beneficially owned by TIC. The sole
      shareholder of DBIAC is the Donald L. Bren Trust, dated June 26, 1987, as
      amended, of which Mr. Donald Bren is the sole trustee. Assuming the
      exchange of the 5,153,512 L.P. Units that are convertible into Shares
      without stockholder approval, DBIAC would be deemed to beneficially own
      20.7% of the Shares. Since TIC is the managing general partner of TICICA,
      TICICB, TICICC and TICICD, DBIAC disclaims beneficial ownership of such
      Shares.

(7)   Shares are held by a trust of which Mr. Bren is trustee.

(8)   Mr. Bren may be deemed the beneficial holder of the L.P. Units
      beneficially owned by TIC due to his status as the sole
      shareholder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of TIC.
      Assuming the exchange of the 23,600,512 L.P. Units for Shares, Mr.
      Bren would be deemed to beneficially own 54.6% of the Shares.  Mr.
      Bren disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares directly or
      indirectly owned by TIC.

(9)   Includes 10,000 shares Mr. Reichardt has a right to acquire through a
      pension trust account.

*     Less than .1%

            Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), neither TIC, TICICA nor
TICICC, nor any other person controlling TIC, TICICA or TICICC nor, to the best

beneficially owns any Shares.

            (b) The following table indicates, for each person listed in the

         WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement there are 18,555,647 shares

         2. The Irvine Company and TICICD further agree not to Transfer (as

with respect to the Excess L.P. Units so transferred.

         3. The following legend shall be placed on Certificate No. 24:

         DECEMBER 23, 1996, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE

         4. The restrictions on Transfer and conversion of the Excess L.P. Units

effect if the Shareholder Approval is obtained.

         5. The provisions of this Agreement shall only apply to the 244,857
L.P. Units represented by Certificate No. 24 and any L.P. Unit certificates
issued on transfer or exchange thereof and shall not apply to any other L.P.

                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Exclusive Land Rights and Non-Competition
Agreement dated as of November 21, 1993, as amended by Amendments No. 1, No. 2

December 1, 1993, as amended (the "Partnership Agreement");

     WHEREAS, such L.P. Units are represented by L.P. Unit Certificate No. 26
registered in the name of TICICD ("Certificate No. 26);

     WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement there are 18,571,647 shares of

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for good and valuable

<PAGE>   3
     1. The Irvine Company and TICICD agree that they will not convert, or cause

Excess L.P. Units may only be redeemed by the Partnership for cash, including as
a result of an exercise by The Irvine Company and TICICD of their cash tender
rights pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Partnership Agreement.

     2. The Irvine Company and TICICD further agree not to Transfer (as defined

Excess L.P. Units so transferred.

     3. The following legend shall be placed on Certificate No. 26:

              "THE TRANSFER OF THE L.P. UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS

              A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY
              AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICE."

     4. The restrictions on Transfer and conversion of the Excess L.P. Units set
forth in this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect if
the Shareholder Approval is obtained.

     5. The provisions of this Agreement shall only apply to the 313,439 L.P.
Units represented by Certificate No. 26 and any L.P. Unit certificates issued on
transfer or exchange thereof and shall not apply to any other L.P. Units issued
by the Partnership.

and the parties hereto authorize the Company to provide a copy of this Agreement

AGREEMENT REFLECTING ADMISSION OF TIC INVESTMENT COMPANY D AS AN ADDITIONAL
LIMITED PARTNER OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP.


                  Agreement dated July 30, 1996 between Irvine Apartment
Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation, in its capacity as general partner
(the "General Partner") of Irvine Apartment Communities, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership") and TIC Investment Company D,
a California general partnership ("TICICD"), a general partner of which is The
Irvine Company, a Michigan corporation ("TIC"). Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, dated as of
December 1, 1993, as amended (the "Partnership Agreement").

                  WHEREAS, on the date hereof and pursuant to the Land Rights
Agreement and Section 4.3.B. of the Partnership Agreement, TICICD, as seller, is
transferring to the Operating Partnership the Colony apartment community land
site in exchange for 115,544 Limited Partner Units in the Operating Partnership
and the assumption by the Operating Partnership of certain assessment district
debt;

                  WHEREAS, in connection with such transfer and the issuance of
such Units, TICICD desires to be admitted to the Operating Partnership as an
Additional Limited Partner in accordance with the Partnership Agreement; and

                  WHEREAS, the General Partner hereby consents to the admission
of TICICD as an Additional Limited Partner of the Operating Partnership.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                  1. TICICD hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of
the Partnership Agreement executed by the General Partner and the other Limited
Partners and hereby agrees to keep, observe and perform all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of the Partnership Agreement, including without
limitation, the power of attorney set forth in Section 2.4 thereof. TICICD
hereby represents and warrants to each Partner pursuant to Section 3.4 of the
Partnership Agreement as follows:

                           (a) All transactions contemplated by the Partnership
                  Agreement to be performed by TICICD have been duly authorized
                  by all necessary action, including without limitation, that of
                  its general partners;

                           (b) The consummation of the transactions contemplated
                  by the Partnership Agreement will not result in a breach or
                  violation of, or a default under, its partnership agreement,
                  any material agreement by which it or any of




<PAGE>   3



                  its property is or are bound, or any statute, regulation,
                  order or other law to which it or any of its partners is or
                  are subject;

                           (c) It is neither a "foreign person" within the
                  meaning of Section 1445(f) of the Code nor a "foreign partner"
                  within the meaning of Section 1446(e) of the Code;

                           (d) Upon acceptance hereof by the General Partner,
                  this Agreement will be binding upon and enforceable against it
                  in accordance with its terms;

                           (e) It is acquiring and will continue to hold its
                  interest in the Operating Partnership for its own account for
                  investment only and not for the purpose of, or with a view
                  toward, the resale or distribution of all or any part thereof,
                  nor with a view toward selling or otherwise distributing such
                  interest or any part thereof at any particular time or under
                  any predetermined circumstances except as permitted under
                  Article 11 of the Partnership Agreement;

                           (f) It is an "accredited investor" as such term is
                  defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act of
                  1933, as amended. It is a sophisticated investor, able and
                  accustomed to handling sophisticated financial matters for
                  itself, particularly real estate investments, and it has a
                  sufficiently high net worth that it does not anticipate a need
                  for the funds it will have invested in the Operating
                  Partnership in what it understand to be a highly speculative
                  and illiquid investment.

The representations and warranties set forth above shall survive the
effectiveness of TICICD being admitted as an Additional Limited Partner under
the Partnership Agreement and the dissolution, liquidation and termination of
the Operating Partnership. TICICD further acknowledges that no representations
as to potential profit, cash flows, funds from operations or yield, if any, in
respect of Operating Partnership or the General Partner have been made by an
Partner or any employee or representative or Affiliate of any Partner, and that
projections and any other information, including, without limitation, financial
and descriptive information and documentation, which may have been in any manner
submitted to any of them shall not constitute any representation or warranty of
any kind or nature, express or implied.

                  2. Attached hereto is a counterpart signature page to the
Partnership Agreement duly executed by TICICD and a copy of Amendment No. 10 to
Exhibit A to the Partnership Agreement. TICICD hereby acknowledges that
Amendment No. 10 to Exhibit A has been prepared by the General Partner to
reflect the revised Partnership Interests in the Operating Partnership resulting
from the issuance to TICICD of the Limited Partner Units referred to above.
TICICD acknowledges that the General Partner will distribute a copy of the
executed signature page to the Partnership Agreement and Amendment No. 10 to
Exhibit A thereto to all Partners of the Operating Partnership.



<PAGE>   4




                  3. Upon acceptance hereof by the General Partner, TICICD shall
be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner, the General Partner shall issue to
TICICD a certificate representing 115,544 Limited Partner Units, and Exhibit A
to the Partnership Agreement shall be amended as set forth in Amendment No. 10
to Exhibit A of the Partnership Agreement attached hereto.

                  4. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of
which together shall constitute one agreement binding on all of the parties
hereto, notwithstanding that all such parties are not signatories to the
original on the same counterpart.

                  5. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without
regard to the principles of conflict of law.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this
Agreement as of the date and year first written above.

                  Units equal to the number of Limited Partner Units so
                  purchased, the Limited Partner Units so purchased shall be
                  canceled and the Percentage Interest of the General Partner
                  and all other Partners shall be adjusted based on the
                  foregoing."

                  10. The last sentence of Section 11.1.A of the Partnership
Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

                  "The term `Transfer' when used in this Article 11 does not

                  Transferred except (i) to any one, or any combination of,
                  William W. Thompson, Bruce Dorfman or Robert Hughes
                  (individually, a "TRC SHAREHOLDER", and collectively, the "TRC
                  SHAREHOLDERS"), provided that it shall be a condition
                  precedent to any such Transfer and the admission of the TRC
                  Shareholder as a Substituted Limited Partner that such TRC
                  Shareholder agree in writing to be bound by the restrictions
                  on Transfer set forth in this Agreement or (ii) to the General
                  Partner (or its nominee) as contemplated by this Section
                  11.3.F.

                           "(2) In the event all or any portion of such
                  Partnership Interest is Transferred to a TRC Shareholder and a
                  TRC Shareholder Incapacity occurs with respect to such TRC
                  Shareholder, TRC shall within thirty (30) days notify the
                  General Partner of such TRC Shareholder Incapacity and the
                  General Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation,
                  to purchase (for its own account or for the account of its
                  nominee) the Partnership Interest of such TRC Shareholder for
                  cash at a price equal to the number of Limited Partner Units
                  representing the Partnership Interest of such TRC Shareholder
                  multiplied by the average of the Unit Values for the ten (10)
                  trading days immediately preceding the date of purchase by the
                  General Partner (or its nominee) of such Partnership Interest.
                  The General Partner shall exercise such right, if at all,
                  within thirty (30) days of the date on which the General
                  Partner receives written notice of such TRC Shareholder
                  Incapacity. If the General Partner fails to exercise such
                  right, such Limited Partner Units must, within 90 days of such
                  TRC Shareholder Incapacity, and, in all events, prior to any
                  Transfer to the heirs or devisees of such TRC Shareholder or
                  to any other Person, be Exchanged for REIT Shares in
                  accordance with Section 8.6, in which event the conditions to
                  an Exchange set forth in the proviso in Section 8.6.J shall
                  not apply to the right to Exchange such Limited Partner Units
                  for REIT Shares.

                           "(3) In the event of the death of, or total physical
                  disability of, a TRC Shareholder, entry by a court of
                  competent jurisdiction adjudicating such TRC Shareholder
                  incompetent to manage his person or his estate, or an Act of
                  Bankruptcy with respect to such TRC Shareholder ("TRC
                  SHAREHOLDER INCAPACITY"), TRC shall within thirty (30) days
                  notify the General Partner of such TRC Shareholder Incapacity,
                  and if such TRC Shareholder Incapacity relates to a TRC
                  Shareholder other than William W. Thompson, and if at the time
                  of such TRC Shareholder Incapacity TRC is a Partner, then:

                                    (i) TRC shall have the right, but not the
                           obligation to satisfy the General Partner, in its
                           sole discretion and within thirty (30) days of the
                           occurrence of such TRC Shareholder Incapacity, that
                           such TRC Shareholder Incapacity will not result, at
                           any time, in any

                           portion of TRC's Partnership Interest being
                           Transferred, directly or indirectly, to the TRC
                           Shareholder with respect to whom such TRC Shareholder
                           Incapacity occurred.

                                    (ii) In the event TRC fails to so satisfy
                           the General Partner, the General Partner shall have
                           the right, but not the obligation, to purchase (for
                           its own account or for the account of its nominee) a
                           portion of TRC's Partnership Interest for cash at a
                           price equal to the number of the Limited Partner
                           Units which the General Partner is entitled to
                           purchase pursuant to this Section 11.3.F(3)(ii)
                           multiplied by the average of the Unit Values for the
                           ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date
                           of such purchase by the General Partner (or its
                           nominee). The number of Limited Partner Units which
                           the General Partner shall be entitled to purchase
                           pursuant to this Section 11.3.F(3)(ii) shall be equal
                           to the total number of Limited Partner Units then
                           owned by TRC, multiplied by a fraction, the
                           denominator of which shall be the total number of TRC
                           Shares outstanding as of the time of such TRC
                           Shareholder Incapacity and the numerator of which
                           shall be the total number of TRC Shares owned by the
                           TRC Shareholder at the time of such TRC Shareholder
                           Incapacity. The General Partner shall exercise such
                           right, if at all, within thirty (30) days of the date
                           on which the General Partner receives written notice
                           of such TRC Shareholder Incapacity.

                                    (iii) If TRC fails to so satisfy the General
                           Partner and the General Partner fails to exercise its
                           right of purchase as set forth in clause (ii) above,
                           Limited Partner Units in the amount which the General
                           Partner was entitled to purchase pursuant to clause
                           (ii) must, within 90 days of time of such TRC
                           Shareholder Incapacity, be Exchanged for REIT Shares,
                           in which event the conditions to an Exchange set
                           forth in the proviso in Section 8.6.J shall not apply
                           to the right to Exchange such Limited Partner Units
                           for REIT Shares.

                                    (iv) From and after the date on which the
                           General Partner purchases such Limited Partner Units
                           pursuant to clause (ii) or such Limited Partner Units
                           are Exchanged for REIT Shares pursuant to clause
                           (iii), TRC shall take such steps as may be necessary,
                           as determined by the General Partner in its sole
                           discretion, to ensure that any Limited Partner Units
                           still owned by TRC shall not, at any time, without
                           the prior written consent of the General Partner, be
                           Transferred to the estate, heirs or devisees of the
                           TRC Shareholder who is then subject to a TRC
                           Shareholder Incapacity or to any other Person.

                           "(4) In the event of a TRC Shareholder Incapacity
                  with respect to William W. Thompson, if at the time of such
                  TRC Shareholder Incapacity, TRC is a Partner, TRC shall within
                  thirty (30) days notify the General Partner of such TRC
                  Shareholder Incapacity and the General Partner shall have the
                  right, but not the obligation, to purchase (for its own
                  account or for the account of its nominee) all or any portion
                  of TRC's Partnership Interest for cash at a price equal to the
                  number of Limited Partner Units representing such TRC
                  Partnership Interest multiplied by the average of the Unit
                  Values for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the
                  date of purchase by the General Partner (or its nominee) of
                  such Partnership Interest. The General Partner shall exercise
                  such right, if at all, within thirty (30) days of the date on
                  which the General Partner receives written notice of such TRC
                  Shareholder Incapacity. If the General Partner fails to
                  exercise such right, such Limited Partner Units must, within
                  90 days of such TRC Shareholder Incapacity, be Exchanged for
                  REIT Shares, in which event the conditions to an Exchange set
                  forth in the proviso in Section 8.6.J shall not apply to the
                  right to Exchange such Limited Partner Units for REIT Shares.

                           "(5) In the event of an Act of Bankruptcy with
                  respect to TRC, the General Partner shall have the right, but
                  not the obligation, to purchase (for its own account or for
                  the account of its nominee) all or any portion of TRC's
                  Partnership Interest for cash at a price equal to the number
                  of Limited Partner Units representing such TRC Partnership
                  Interest multiplied by the average of the Unit Values for the
                  ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of
                  purchase by the General Partner (or its nominee) of such
                  Partnership Interest. The General Partner shall exercise such
                  right, if at all, within thirty (30) days of the date on which
                  the General Partner receives written notice of such Act of
                  Bankruptcy. If the General Partner fails to exercise such
                  right, such Limited Partner Units must, within a reasonable
                  period of time of such Act of Bankruptcy, be Exchanged for
                  REIT Shares, in which event the conditions to an Exchange set
                  forth in the proviso in Section 8.6.J shall not apply to the
                  right to Exchange such Limited Partner Units for REIT Shares.

                           "(6) In the event the General Partner purchases
                  Limited Partner Units pursuant to clauses (2), (3), (4) or (5)
                  of this Section 11.3.F, the Partnership will be deemed to have
                  issued to the General Partner a number of General Partner
                  Units equal to the number of Limited Partner Units so
                  purchased, the Limited Partner Units so purchased shall be
                  canceled and the Percentage Interest of the General Partner
                  and all other Partners shall be adjusted based on the
                  foregoing.

                  "G. In addition to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in
         the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.3 and in Section 11.6, a
         Transfer of all or any portion




                                        8
<PAGE>   10
         of the Partnership Interest of a TRC Shareholder shall be subject to
         the following additional provision:

                           "(1) None of such Partnership Interest may be
                  Transferred by such TRC Shareholder, except (i) to another TRC
                  Shareholder in compliance with all applicable laws and
                  regulations and the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
                  (ii) a Transfer by operation of law as a result of a TRC
                  Shareholder Incapacity, in which event the provisions of
                  Section 11.3.F(2) shall apply and (iii) to the General Partner
                  or its nominee as contemplated by Section 11.3.F."

                  13. The first sentence of Section 11.7.A of the Partnership
Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the word "Partner" immediately after
the word "General" the first time such word appears in such Section .

                  14. Attached hereto is a counterpart signature page to the
Partnership Agreement duly executed by an authorized officer of TRC.

                  15. Each Limited Partner agrees that its execution of this
Amendment constitutes the notice from the General Partner required pursuant to
Section 7.3.C of the Partnership Agreement.

                  16. Upon acceptance by the General Partner of the TRC
Contribution to the Partnership, TRC shall be admitted as an Additional Limited
Partner, the General Partner shall issue to TRC a certificate representing
74,523 Limited Partner Units, and Exhibit A to the Partnership Agreement shall
be amended by Amendment No. 14 to Exhibit A of the Partnership Agreement
attached hereto. The parties to this Amendment hereby acknowledge that Amendment
No. 14 to Exhibit A has been prepared by the General Partner to reflect the
revised Partnership Interests in the Partnership resulting from the TRC
Contribution and the issuance of the TRC Units referred to above, provided that
in the event a Contingent Contribution Value (as defined in the Contribution
Agreement) is payable to TRC in additional Limited Partner Units as provided in
the Contribution Agreement, then Exhibit A to the Partnership Agreement shall be
further amended (i) so that the "Gross Asset Value of Contributed Property" set
forth opposite the name of TRC in such Amendment No. 14 shall be increased by
the amount of such Contingent Contribution Value and (ii) the number of
Partnership Units owned by TRC and the Percentage Interests of all the Partners
set forth in such Amendment No. 14 shall be revised accordingly. For purposes of
the definition of Gross Asset Value, the General Partner, The Irvine Company and
TRC agree that the amount set forth opposite the name of TRC under "Gross Asset
Value of Contributed Property" in such Amendment No. 14, as the same may be
increased as described above, constitutes the fair market value of the assets
contributed by TRC to the Partnership.

                  17. At the Contingent Contribution Value Payment Date (as
defined in the Contribution Agreement), in the event that the Partnership is
obligated to issue TRC additional Limited Partner Units, then the General
Partner shall issue TRC a certificate representing such Limited Partner Units,
and Exhibit A to the Partnership Agreement shall be modified accordingly as
provided above.

                  18. Except as amended by this Amendment No. 7, the provisions
of the Partnership Agreement are ratified, approved and confirmed and shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

                  19. This Amendment No. 7 shall become effective (i) when
signed by the General Partner, TRC and a Majority-in-Interest of the existing
Limited Partners and (ii) upon consummation of the Closing under and as defined
in the Contribution Agreement.

                  20. This Amendment No. 7 shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without
regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

                  21. This Amendment No. 7 may be executed in counterparts, all
of which shall constitute one agreement binding on all parties hereto,
notwithstanding that all such parties are not signatures to the original or same
counterpart.
