THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH AMENDING
TITLE 20 OF THE NEWPORT BEACH
MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING THE
MULTI- FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (MFR)
DISTRICT [PLANNING COMMISSION
AMENDMENT NO. 6871.
Report from Planning Department.
The City Manager summarized the staff
report noting the purpose of the subject
ordinance is to implement the provisions
of the comprehensive revisions to the
General Plan adopted by the City Council
on October 24, 1988. When the Council
adopted said General Plan revisions,
residential densities were designated
for various multi - family areas. These
densities and permitted uses do not
directly correspond to the existing R -3
or R -4 residential zoning categories,
and therefore, a new Multi- Family
Residential District (MFR) has been
proposed. The proposed zoning does not
yet apply to any properties. In
essence, the ordinance increases the
height limit consistent with R -3 and R -4
zoning; it requires a 4 foot side yard
setback where there is a side entrance;
and it requires an 8 foot rear yard
setback in Corona del Mar to accommodate
vehicles.
Todd Schooler, Architect, 503 32nd
Street, addressed the Council in support
of the proposed ordinance. He stated he
represented a group of local architects
who have reviewed the revised ordinance
and are satisfied with the changes, and
expressed appreciation to the staff for
allowing them to give input on this
issue.

Rob Patterson, Architect, 510 Catalina
Avenue, also addressed the Council in
favor of the proposed ordinance and
thanked the staff for all their
cooperation and efforts in this regard.
David Diem, Architect, 180 Newport
Center Drive, addressed the Council in
support of the proposed ordinance;
however, he felt the revised document
discourages the adding of garage space
to the minimum required, particularly in
Corona del Mar, and therefore, suggested
the ordinance be amended.
Susie Picker, 110 9th Street, addressed
the Council and recieved clarification
of the proposed ordinance.
Brion Jeannette, Architect, 470 N.
Newport Boulevard, addressed the Council
and stated he felt the proposed
ordinance, in general, will reduce
density. He also felt the Council may
want to analyze further the suggestion
of Mr. Diem regarding the issue of
allowing additional parking beyond that
which is required.
Hearing no others wishing to address the
Council, the public hearing was closed.
Following discussion, motion was made to
reintroduce Ordinance No. 89 -28 and pass
to second reading on November 27, 1989.
Mayor Strauss commented that he would
support the motion; however, he
preferred the original ordinance
recommended by.the Planning Commission
which included the 24/28 foot height
limitation.
Council Member Watt also indicated she
was "skeptical" as to the revised height
limit, but inasmuch as the ordinance
will be coming back in two weeks for
adoption, she stated she will support
the reintroduction.
The motion was voted on and carried.
Mayor Strauss opened the public hearing
regarding proposed ORDINANCE NO. 89 -33,

PLAN (SP -6) DISTRICT [PLANNING
COMMISSION AMENDMENT NO. 6861.
Report from Planning Department.
Letter from Jacqueline E. Doyle
regarding City Design Engineer Lloyd
Dalton's letter of October 4, 1989, and
the proposed City's sewer easement
project affecting her property at 1 La
Rochelle.
The City Clerk advised that after the
agenda was printed, an additional letter
was received from Jacqueline E. Doyle
regarding the proposed City's sewer
easement project in the subject area.
In response to question raised regarding
Ms. Doyle's concerns, and her two
letters, the Planning Director reported
that after the Planning Commission's
hearing on this matter, it came to the
attention of the Planning Department
that the Public Works Department was in
the process of trying to obtain an
easement across the rear of some of the
subject properties in order to relocate
an existing sewer line. The area is one
of two blocks on the Peninsula where an
alley does not exist to give vehicular
access to the properties from the rear.
Since it is the desire of the City to
obtain an easement for the sewer line
across the back of the subject property
being considered by the Council, he
recommended additional language be added
to the ordinance requiring the owner of
the property to dedicate the easement
for sewer purposes prior to being issued
building permits. He stated the
amendment would read as follows: "This
ordinance shall not take effect until 30
days after the date of its adoption, nor
shall it take effect prior to the
recordation of a 5 foot wide sewer
easement to be located across the
northerly 5 feet of the subject
property, or in another location
acceptable to the Public Works
Department."

Report from the Planning Department.
Letters from H. D. and Marion Coddington,
Mel Parsons, and the Terry McKenzie
Family concerned about proposed zone
changes affecting their property.
The City Clerk advised that after the
agenda was printed, 15 additional
letters were received in protest to the
proposed rezoning of properties on the
Peninsula.
The City Manager advised that the
purpose of the proposed ordinance is to
be consistent with the densities of the
General Plan Amendment adopted by the
City Council in October 1988. Areas
were evaluated on a block by block
basis, and the predominant lot size was
used to determine the appropriate land
use designation. The table below
outlines the general guidelines used to
make the land use designation decisions.

It was also pointed out that the
creation of nonconforming uses is a
concern that arises when zoning
classifications are changed.
Approximately 63% of the properties
proposed for R -1 zoning are currently
developed with single - family residences,
while 71% of the properties proposed for
R -2 zoning are currently developed with
duplexes. These figures indicate that a
large percentage of the lots are
developed in accordance with the
proposed zoning classifications. There
are 926 lots proposed for zone changes
and of these lots, 258 are currently
nonconforming properties. The proposed
zone change will create an additional 42
nonconforming properties. Existing
legal nonconforming buildings and uses
will be allowed to continue and be
maintained under the provisions of the
City's Zoning Code. There is no
requirement being proposed that would
require removal of existing buildings
that do not conform to the proposed
zoning. Current regulations allow for
normal repairs and maintenance of legal
nonconforming building to be done with a
Building Permit. Any major renovation
or structural alterations requires
discretionary approval from the Planning
Commission. Since some existing
developments would become nonconforming
by use, the addition of square footage
to existing structures would not be
permitted under current regulations. In
the case of catastrophic damage'such as
earthquake, flood, or fire, legal
nonconforming buildings damaged to less
than 90% can be rebuilt with a Building
Permit. Legal nonconforming buildings
damaged to greater than 90% require a
Use Permit approved by the Planning
Commission to rebuild.

It was further noted that if an
applicant has already submitted plans
for plan check or if an approval in
concept is pending, said applicant would
be "grandfathered" in, and therefore,
•
would be issued a permit under the
previous ordinance. If the ordinance
under consideration is adopted following
this public hearing, it would be
effective 30 days from this date.
Gordon Livingston, (no address given)
addressed the Council and inquired if
his 2 -unit duplex was destroyed by fire,
would he be permitted to rebuild a new
duplex pursuant to the provisions of the
proposed ordinance.
The Planning Director responded that if
more than 90% of the assessed value of
the structure is destroyed, then Mr.
Livingston could rebuild with the
approval of a use permit; and if it is
less than 90% destroyed, then he could
rebuild with only a building permit
required.

Newport; and accept the Environmental
Document.
In response to comments of Council
Member Watt, the City Attorney advised
that the Planning Department staff is
currently in the process of drafting
some revisions to the nonconforming
section of the Zoning Code, and when
that issue is before the Council, the
Council may want to explore some new
concepts which would allow certain
property owners the right to enlarge
existing structures, which could avoid
as many hardship cases as possible. He
added that under the present Zoning
Ordinance property owners do not have
this right.
Discussion continued, wherein Council
Member Plummer stated that she will not
be supporting the motion due to block
zoning, which she indicated she felt was
unfair, inasmuch as there are not that
many nonconforming properties involved.
She does not want to penalize those
property owners who are going to lose
the opportunity to build to the current
standards being considered at this time.
The motion was voted on and carried.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH AMENDING
TITLE 20 OF THE NEWPORT BEACH
MUNICIPAL CODE SO AS TO DEFINE AND
REGULATE "SPECIALTY FOOD" USES IN
THE CITY; AND THE ACCEPTANCE OF AN
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT [PLANNING
COMMISSION AMENDMENT NO. 6791.
Report from the Planning Department.
The City Manager noted that from time to
time, the Council has considered use
permits for small take -out type
restaurants, and it has been the opinion
of many Council Members that a small
take -out restaurant should not be
treated with the same requirements and
conditions as a larger restaurant; and
therefore, the subject ordinance was
prepared. In order to relieve the
smaller facilities from the burden of
obtaining use permits, it is suggested
that the Zoning Code be amended to
provide a new category of food service
to be called "specialty food" use.
Under the draft restaurant ordinance
amendment, Modifications Committee
approval, rather than a use permit would
be required for specialty food
establishments having a gross floor area
of 1200 square feet or less, counter
space or seating for 12 or fewer
patrons, and a minimum of one parking
space for each 250 square feet of gross
floor area. Those specialty food uses
not meeting these criteria would still
be subject to the approval of a use
permit.
Council Member Turner referenced Page 3,
Item D(1), "Provides off - street parking
spaces at a ratio of one (1) space per
250 square feet of gross floor area. No
credit shall be given for existing
nonconformities," and indicated he felt
the word "No" should be deleted so that
the nonconforming buildings would not
have to provide one parking space for
every 250 square feet of gross floor
area.
The Planning Director responded that the
aforementioned provision regarding
parking was the "heart and soul" of the
ordinance that was approved by the
Planning Commission.

The City Attorney stated that one of the Zoning
things the "specialty food" ordinance
does is change the nature of this type
of food service to a retail use as
opposed to a restaurant use.
Dr. Jan D. Vandersloot, 2221 16th
Street, addressed the Council and
discussed the definition of "Specialty
Food Service" as it relates to various
take -out type establishments in the
City. He also stated he felt the
Modifications Committee was not as
accessible to the public as the Planning
Commission, and if there is any doubt as
to the terms and definitions set forth
in the ordinance, the Planning
Commission would be the more appropriate
body to hear these matters over the
Modifications Committee.
Hearing no others wishing to address the
Council the public hearing was closed.
Motion was made to reintroduce Ordinance
No. 89 -35, amending Title 20 to define
and regulate "Specialty Food" uses in
the City, with the exception that the
word "No" be deleted from Item D(1) on
page 3 of the ordinance; and accepting
the Environmental Document.
Substitute motion was made to adopt
Ordinance No. 89 -35, as presented,
amending Title 20 to define and regulate
"Specialty Food" uses in the City; and
accept the Environmental Document.
Council Member Sansone asked the maker
of the motion to accept an amendment
regarding Item C(1) Hours of Operation,
changing the time from 6:00 a.m. to 7_00
a.m., to which Council Member Watt
indicated she had no objection.
The City Attorney advised that if the
substitute motion carries as amended by
Council Member Sansone, then the
ordinance should be reintroduced and
passed to second reading on November 27,
1989.
Discussion ensued with regard to Council
Member Turner's proposed amendment to
Item D(1), wherein the City Attorney
advised that the way the proposed
ordinance reads at present, the
Modifications Committee cannot waive any
parking. For the use to qualify as a
specialty food service, parking has to

be provided on the basis of one parking
space for every 250 square feet of gross
floor area, which definition can be
moved to the Development Standard
section of the proposed ordinance so
that the Modifications Committee would
have the power to waive that requirement
if that is the Council's desire. As an
alternative, the language relating to
the parking issue in Item D(1) could be
moved to the Development Standards
section, stating that the parking
requirements can only be waived by the
Planning Commission.
Following consideration, the substitute
motion to reintroduce Ordinance 89 -35,

was voted on and carried.

BEACH AMENDING TITLE 20 OF THE
NEWPORT BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE
ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS PERTAINING
TO LOW - AND MODERATE - INCOME HOUSING
WITHIN THE COASTAL ZONE [PLANNING
COMMISSION AMENDMENT 90. 690).
Report from Planning Department.
It was pointed out that the subject
ordinance will eliminate Council Policy
P -1, and that the new chapter proposed
for the Municipal Code is consistent
with the requirements of State law. In
addition to establishing regulations
concerning low- and moderate - income
housing within the Coastal Zone, the
ordinance provides that fees covering
the costs of administration are to be
established by resolution of the City
Council. The resolution also permits
the City Council to waive all or a
portion of the fees. The proposed fee
schedule is more representative of the
various services provided by City staff.
David Diem, Architect, 180 Newport
Center Drive, addressed the Council in
support of the proposed ordinance. He
also discussed Section 20.75.030 -

zoned SP -5.
Report from the Planning Department.
The City Manager referenced the staff
report which listed 11 violations of
the subject use permit. He stated that
some of the 11 violations have been
partially satisfied, particularly
Condition No. 12 relating to
containerized landscaping. The facility
has been in operation illegally for over
one year, and the applicants were aware
since October 18, 1988 that the use
permit could not be implemented until
all of the Conditions of Approval had

applicants have terminated the window
tinting and auto detailing portions of

to handle larger vehicles at another
location in Costa Mesa. An encroachment

Report from the Planning Department.
Appeal application of Balboa Coves Community
Association.
The City Clerk advised that after the
agenda was printed, two letters were

in support of the Royal Thai's request
for valet parking.
It was noted that the applicant desires
to establish a valet parking service
utilizing available parking spaces in a
proposed Municipal Parking Lot located
at the northeasterly corner of Superior
Avenue and West Coast Highway. The
request is a result of lost parking
places along Coast Highway due to its

Association for off -site parking expires
in approximately two years and he has
been informed that the lease will not be
renewed by the Association. He
submitted three additional letters from
residents of Balboa Coves in favor of
his request for valet parking, and
requested that the appeal be denied.
Gary Douglas, 21 Balboa Coves, addressed
the Council in support of the appeal.
He stated that due to the lost parking
spaces on Coast Highway, he felt patrons
will be parking in the Balboa Coves area
or Hoag Hospital lot across Pacific
Coast Highway. He displayed a diagram
•
showing the restaurant site in relation
to Balboa Coves and the Hoag Hospital
lot, and stated that a public safety
factor is involved and should be
considered, inasmuch as people will be
making a U -turn at the entrance to
Balboa Coves at the same time residents
will be exiting from the Coves area.
Tom Bluerock, 223 34th Street, addressed
the Council in support of the Royal
Thai's request for valet parking,
stating the future of Mr. Tila's
business is at stake and that he should
be given the opportunity to try the
valet service.
Jill Lindsay, 4 Balboa Coves,
President, Balboa Coves Community
Association, addressed the Council in
favor of their appeal. She stated she
felt the Planning Commission did not
focus on the "real" issue when this
matter was before them; that in many
instances Mr. Tila has not cooperated
with residents of Balboa Coves regarding
parking; the proposed valet parking
•
service will be dangerous; and the
request should be denied.

In response to question raised by Susie
Ficker, resident, it was noted that the
streets inside Balboa Coves are private
and not public.
Hearing no others wishing to address the
Council, the public hearing was closed.
Mayor Pro Tem Plummer stated that even
though this is an unfortunate situation,
she felt the Royal Thai restaurant was a
definite "upgrade" from the 24 -hour
Howard's restaurant that was on the site
previously. She felt that Mr. Tila has
been a good neighbor to the Coves, and
she also felt the City has "bent over
backwards" regarding the requests of
Balboa Coves Community Association
concerning their entrance, and sound
wall. She stated the Association lacks
valid evidence to oppose the request of
the Royal Thai for valet parking, and in
view of the conditions imposed regarding
said request, she felt Mr. Tila should '
be given a chance, and therefore, moved
to sustain the decision of the Planning
Commission.

regarding report on cost of work
accomplished under Chapter 27 of the

cost against the benefitted properties;
and providing that the assessments may

HARBOR PERMIT APPLICATION NO. 259 -1 for

Island; and HARBOR PERMIT APPLICATION
NO. 259 -106 for residential float
bayward of 106 South Bay front.
The City Clerk advised that after the
agenda was printed, a letter was
received from Donna R. Bashaw, Attorney
representing Wallace Hunt, containing
response and objections to the report
from the Tidelands Affairs Committee.
Council Member Hart, Member of the
Tidelands Affairs Committee, advised
that the Committee has met numerous
times regarding the subject permit and
recommend that if the permit is
approved, it be conditioned as follows:
1. Harbor Permit No. 259 -1 for
the float bayward of #1
Collins Island: Only the
baywardmost 20 feet of the
easterly side tie shall be
available for vessel berthing.
Any vessel berthed there must
maintain 16 feet between the
vessel berthed there and the
float at 106 South Bay Front.
2, Harbor Permit No. 259 -106 for
the float bayward of 106 South
Bay Front: Any vessel berthed
on the easterly side tie shall
not extend beyond the end of
the float more than two feet
(2').

3. If either property, #1 Collins Harbor
Island or 106 South Bay Front Permit
sells, the transfer of the Aplctns
Harbor Permit(s) will require
City Council approval.
Tom C. Simandl, 100 S.-Bay Front,
addressed the Council and spoke against
the request. He stated that he has a 25
foot boat and that when a boat is docked
at the side tie of #1 Collins Island, he
cannot navigate his boat through the
harbor to his dock because there is only
16 feet between the side tie and the
dock at 106 S. Bay Front. He stated
that due to westerly winds and tidal
action through the area, he cannot bring
his boat safely into his slip. He
stated he has been dealing with this
problem for over one year and has been
working with the staff and Tidelands
Affairs Committee. He felt he is giving
up navigational rights; the intended use
of his dock which cost $14,000 to
construct; and felt the Council should
condition the permit at #1 Collins
Island to prohibit the use of the side
tie on the southeast which would give
him the ability to navigate his boat
through the channel.
Donna R. Bashaw, Attorney representing
Wallace B. Hunt, applicant, addressed
the Council and stated that the problem
really arose a year ago when the pier
redesign for 106 S. Bay Front was
granted. The residents at 100 and 112
S. Bay Front approved the redesign;
however, Mr. Hunt was never noticed, and
therefore, not aware of what was taking
place. As a result, the applicant is
now compromising by limiting the use of
his side tie to only 20 feet on the
bayward most easterly side. Mr. Hunt
also objects to Condition No. 2, which
would allow 106 S. Bay Front an
additional 2 foot extension beyond the
reconfigured dock float. The additional
2 feet further impinges upon Mr. Hunt's
rights and use of his float for docking,
in that it is recommended by the
Tidelands Affairs Committee in Condition
No. 1 that any vessel side tied must
maintain 16 feet between itself and the
float at 106 S. Bay Front. Mr. Hunt
also strongly objects to Condition No.
3, which requires City Council approval
for the transfer of the Harbor Permit if
he should sell #1 Collins Island, as

would further dilute the value of his
property should he desire to sell it at
some future time. In conclusion, she
requested that the subject permit be
granted with only Condition No. 1.
Maureen Simandl, 100 S. Bay Front,
addressed the Council and stated that
they reconstructed their dock in "good
faith" as a compromise due to the rock
work placed against the bulkhead in the
100 block of South Bay Front, but now do
not have use of their dock as planned.
She stated there has never been a boat
allowed to be side tied at N1 Collins
Island to her knowledge, and is the
reason why they had no objections to
their neighbors at 106 S. Bay Front
redesigning their float and pier. Now
she felt they were being asked to
compromise again and requested the
Council take her and Mr. Simandl's
situation into consideration.
Ms. Bashaw addressed the Council again,
and stated that Mr. Hunt advised her
that a boat was previously allowed to
side tie at the subject location;
however, it was several years ago.
Council Member Watt, Member of the
Tidelands Affairs Committee, commented
that the Committee has "struggled" with
this permit and will do so again if
necessary. She reviewed some of the
background of the three properties
involved, and spoke in support of the
three recommendations of the Committee.
She felt the Council should approve the
permit, but also review this matter
again, in the event new evidence or
problems surface.
In view of the foregoing, motion was
made to approve the recommendation of
the Tidelands Affairs Committee and
approve the permits, subject to the
three conditions enumerated in the staff
report.
The City Attorney recommended that the
following two Findings be added to the
approval of the permits:
1. The conditions proposed on
Harbor Permit No. 259- 1 and
259 -106 are necessary to
ensure the minimum clear width
required to safely access the
pier and float at 100 S. Bay
Front.

2. The conditions represent

The motion, as amended with the two
above findings, was voted on and
carried.
2. Report from Public Works Department
recommending approval of MARK HURWITZ
ENCROACHMENT APPEAL, subject to the
following conditions: 1) Execution of
an agreement for nonstandard
improvements to encroach 30 feet into
Ocean Boulevard with a new entry to
existing house, including a provision that
guarantees that no planting will be permitti
above roof height; 2) building permits from
the Building Department; 3) no construction
permitted that would not be permitted in
front yard setbacks by the Zoning Code; and
4) an encroachment permit from the
Public Works Department.
Motion was made to approve the subject
appeal with the change that Mr. Hurwitz
be allowed to encroach no more than 22
feet into Ocean Boulevard (rather than
30 feet), and that an additional
condition be added requiring that the
landscaping plan shall be approved by
the Parks, Beaches and Recreation

recommending approval of HARBOR PERMIT
APPLICATION NO. 150 -7 by Jerry Vernon
and Harry Thomassen to revise the
residential pier and float bayward of 6
and 7 Collins Island, subject to
conditions listed in the staff report.
Ed Williams, 105 N. Bay Front, addressed
the Council in opposition to the
granting of the subject permit, and
recommended this matter be given
reconsideration prior to approval. He
reviewed the request and stated that 20
feet of the boat docked at #7 Collins
Island pier protrudes out into the
water, and suggested said pier be turned
around and moved closer to #6 Collins
Island, inasmuch as it has 125 feet of
waterfront property with no piers in
front of it, and therefore, the channel
won't be blocked. He stated he has had
to pay to have the channel dredged twice
in the last 10 to 12 years.
Tony Melum, Tidelands Administrator,
addressed the Council and stated that
the boat currently docked in the center
of the slip at #7 Collins Island is in
violation of the Harbor Permit Policy,
and is one of the reasons the applicant
would like to make the pier wider and

anymore of an obstruction that already

so that any vessel berthed at either the
side tie or the interior of the slip
will not extend beyond the structure,
more than 16 feet. If the pier were

Williams, there could be a problem due

additional consulting

$71,060 for basic
architectural services,
including basic consultants of
structural, mechanical,
plumbing and electrical
engineers; and approximately
$30,000 for subconsultant fees
and reimbursable expenses, be
undertaken at this time.
Council Member Turner expressed his
desire to review the two individual bid
proposals prior to awarding this
contract.
•
In response to comments made by Mayor
Strauss regarding the capabilities of
the architects to perform within budget
and on time, the Public Works Director
stated that these were factors that led
to the Board's recommendation to select
this particular firm of architects. The
Library and Public Works staff have
reviewed the references provided by the
firms independently, and it was
determined that the firm being
recommended had greater depth of
specific library experience than did the
other bidder, as well as a better
performance record. He also stated that
the individual bid proposals can be
forwarded to the Council for their
review if so desired.

Recreation concerning APPEAL OF DECISION E. Balboa
MADE BY PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION St. Trees
COMMISSION TO REMOVE TWO STREET TREES AT (62)
1011 EAST BALBOA BOULEVARD.
The City Manager reviewed the report and
recommendation, and displayed
photographs of the two street trees,
noting that the tree on the left side of
the driveway interferes with the gas
line, while the tree on the right side
causes problems with the sewer. He
stated that it is the staff's
recommendation that the tree
interfering with the gas line be
removed at this time, and that the
property owner be issued an encroachment
permit for repair of the driveway.
However, the Parks, Beaches and
Recreation Commission have recommended
that both trees remain.
Anthony Miali, 1011 E. Balboa Boulevard,
addressed the Council and stated he
appreciates trees; however, the gas has
been turned off for two months, inasmuch
as the Gas Company cannot repair the gas
line because of one of the trees. The
curb is raising the sidewalk due to both
trees and the driveway is in need of
repair.
Kay Mortenson, 1530 Miramar Drive,
Member of Balboa Peninsula Association,
addressed the Council and spoke in
support of Council Policy I -9, which
emphasizes retention of mature, healthy
trees, and the recommendation of the
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
to retain the two trees. She felt the
trees "camouflage" the ugliness of the
utility lines; that a precedent could be
set if the trees were removed; and
therefore, suggested the trees be root
pruned near the problem areas.
