Report from the City Manager concerning E1 Toro REUSE PLAN FOR EL TORO AND CITY Reuse Plan PARTICIPATION in the process. (54) The City Manager updated the City Council on the current status of discussions with the County on the Reuse Process for MCAS E1 Toro, and the roles the City of Newport Beach could play in that process if it participated. In concluding his remarks, he presented the following three options for Council consideration: 1) Participate in the latest plan proposed by the County and South County cities on the Board of Directors. 2) Continue to attempt to • revise the proposed reuse process to guarantee meaningfull participation in the reuse decision - making process by all the cities and various interest groups in the County. 3) If Option 1 is unacceptable, and Option 2 isn't achieved, work with other cities and interests in the established reuse process to achieve the City's long -range air transportation goals. The City Manager recommended the Mayor be directed, along with the Council Airport Ad Hoc Committee and City staff, to continue to monitor the various options available to the City for future involvement in the E1 Toro Reuse Process and report back to the City Council on a regular basis. Mike Ward, Mayor of City of Irvine, addressed the Council regarding this issue and commented as follows: The County and the City of Irvine have not • given up their land use authority; this is a reuse planning authority, and the Board of Directors will determine how the plan will be implemented. They are asking that the City of Newport Beach participate in the El Toro reuse Volume 47 - Page 274 COUNCIL MEMBERS ROLL CRLL 0 • • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH \ \\ October 25, 1993 planning process for 4700 acres; he is not here to discuss whether E1 Toro should become an airport because this is not the issue. The Board of Directors will consist of the County and eight cities, with the County and Irvine each having four votes, and the City of Newport Beach having one vote. The Executive Council will be open to all 31 cities in the County; Newport Beach has an opportunity to be represented on the Executive Council as well as on the Board of Directors to make its thought known, and he would not like the City to pass up this opportunity and be left on the outside. He urged the Council to "go along with the concept" and help write the by -laws and documents so that the City feels their voice is heard. Mayor Turner indicated he felt the votes on the Board._.of Directors planning authority are "weighted" and controlled by the five cities in the South County along with two members of the Board of Supervisors which is a major concern for Newport Beach; however, he- stated that the City will look at this proposal, but it is not ready to commit to participating in the process at this time. Council Member Hedges noted to Mayor Ward that commercial airplane noise is much less quieter than the present military airplane use at E1 Toro, and he would hope that this point would not get lost in the dialogue when the discussions take place. In response to Mayor Turner's comments regarding the votes being "weighted," Mayor Ward stated this is true; however, the votes are based on the proximity and impact to the base. In reponse to question raised by Council Member John Cox regarding the future of John Wayne Airport and how it would be affected if an airport were to be built at El Toro, Mayor Ward commented that this has been discussed and the economic issues connected with it must be taken into consideration. He also stated that If no airport is built at E1 Toro, he is not in favor of expanding John Wayne Airport. Tom Edwards, President, Airport Working Group, addressed the Council and expressed appreciation to Mayor Mike Ward for his remarks. He recommended the Council "engage in the planning process, but do not go forward on the outline of said process as it is presently proposed." He stated he made this suggestion because he felt this Council was not consulted on this particular issue. He also indicated he felt that all the cities in the County are not sharing equally in the process, and therefore, Newport Beach should continue to monitor this issue directly and go on record as opposing the existing County proposal.

Mayor Turner opened the continued public Variance hearing regarding APPEAL OF TERRY AND 1192 DIANE PEETS ON VARIANCE 1192 - Report (91) from the Planning Department concerning request to permit an as -built alteration to an existing single - family dwelling which has resulted in the structure exceeding the allowable gross floor area of 1.5 times the buildable area of the site, on property located at 327 Coral Avenue, Balboa Island. The Planning Director noted four items of concern discussed in the staff report which were raised at the October 11, 1993 City Council meeting regarding the following: 1) Similarity of Plans at 327 Coral and 221 Ruby Avenue; 2) Accessibility to Building Department Microfilm Records; 3) Encroachments into Setbacks and Inspections During Construction for 221 Ruby Avenue; and 4) Report of Residential Building Record for 221 Ruby Avenue. In addition to the staff report, he noted that the City Attorney has prepared a memorandum addressing the findings the City Council would be required to make in regard to the property at 327 Coral Avenue. In response to question raised by Council Member Badges regarding the purpose of the R -1.5 District, the Planning Director stated that the R -1.5 zoning does allow a duplex form of development; however, there is a Volume 47 - Page 277 COUNCIL MEMBERS s CHLL • • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH \\\ October 25, 1993 development standard requiring that the floor area within the building or buildings on the property not exceed one -and one -half times the buildable area of the lot. He also noted that the City Council has directed the staff and Planning Commission to take a look at changing the development standards for residential zoning districts to determine how those districts can be limited to one -and one -half times the building bulk so that there is not a repeat of the problem currently on Balboa Island. Council Member Hedges noted that on Balboa Peninsula under the R -1 zoning, a person could build a home with a floor area ratio of 2.0 x the buildable; whereas on Balboa Island where the zoning is R -1.5, a person can build two units as .long, as the 1.5 x the buildable area is not exceeded. What this does, in essence, is penalize a single - family home owner on the Island because no distinction is made between single - family and two- family residential with respect to the maximum buildable area. Council Member Watt pointed out that Balboa Island, prior to the implementation of the R -1.5 zoning, was allowed to have two units on those properties, and it was not until recently the two - story /clerestory garage issue has come up, and as a result, the Planning Commission is looking into resolving this problem. Diane Pests, Appellant, addressed the Council and referenced her letter dated October 22, 1993. She urged that the entire set of unusal circumstances be looked at with regard to their case inasmuch as the variances at 221 Ruby and 327 Coral are identical. They also feel their variance should be granted the same approval as that given to 221 Ruby Avenue. If their variance is denied, they will have to remove a small room which has no affect on the outside appearance of their home, nor will it serve to reduce the look of bulk which was the original rationale for the R -1.5 zoning. The granting of their variance will not set a precedent for future requests since the Coral and Ruby properties are identical and no other house can fall under that circumstance. Richard Henning, builder of 221 Ruby Avenue, addressed the Council and stated that when he moved out of the house, the room in question had not been built and was used for storage; he also did not steal the building plans from the owners of 327 Coral Avenue as referenced at the last Council meeting; he estimates that the room will increase the value of both homes at $90,000 each; the home at 221 Ruby Avenue was built in accordance with plans that he submitted to the City, and inspected by the Building Department, but he did not perform the construction of the room above the garage. Vol=e 47 - Page 278 MINUTES INDEX • Notion COUNCIL MEMBERS CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH October 25, 1993 The Planning Director noted that the testimony given at the Planning Commission meeting on September 9, 1993, when this matter was considered, as well as the variance for 221 Ruby Avenue, Mr. Folkedal of 221 Ruby Avenue, stated that he had acquired the property from the bank in foreclosure; that he purchased the property as is, and that the construction of the room above the garage had been done by Mr. Henning who just indicated he did not do that construction. If Mr. Henning did not do the construction and if the illegal construction was not in place at the time that the building was finaled, or at the time the Planning Department did the Report of Residential Building Records, then obviously the Building Inspector or the Code Enforcement Officer would not find the construction. The City Attorney interjected at this time, pointing out that the hearing before the Council relates to the property at 327 Coral Avenue and not 221 Ruby Avenue, and as indicated.. in his memorandum, the fact that a variance was granted for 221 Ruby Avenue, is not an issue and not relevant to the proceedings under consideration. What is relevant is whether or not there are special and unique circumstantances regarding the Pests' property that would justify the approval of their variance in which, in the staff's opinion, there are none. There are also no facts to support the other finding the City Council is required to make whereby approval of the variance is necessary to preserve a substantial property right on the part of the owner. John Kelly, 34155 Crystal Lantern, Dana Point, addressed the Council and stated he was the framer and electrician on the job at 221 Ruby Avenue when the house was constructed, and that when Mr. Henning moved from the house, the room over the garage was not completed at that time. Hearing no one else wishing to address the Council, the public hearing was closed. Motion was made by Council Member Watt to sustain the decision of the Planning Commission and deny Variance Mo. 1192. Council Membert Hedges stated he will support the motion, but he was very concerned with the R -1.5 zoning on the property and felt that "if a building conforms to all the requirements relative to setbacks, height, bulk and mass, what happens on the inside of it is another matter altogether if it is a single - family use." He indicated this was a matter for the Planning Department to consider .at _a future date. Volume 47 - Page 279 MINUTES 192 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH COUNCIL MEMBERS �`��9,�` rT oof %P October 25, 1993 ROLL CRLL • All Ayes • Motion All Ayes x Council Member Debay stated that she agrees with the City Attorney's opinion in that the approval of a variance in the absence of facts to support appropriate findings diminishes both the Council's ability to enforce the zoning ordinance, and the public's opinion of its importance, and she felt it was important for the City Council to stand behind the rules it enacts. However, it bothers her that this variance will not change the appearance• from the outside and she is glad to know that this issue is being addressed by the Planning Department. The motion was voted on and carried. 15. Mayor Turner opened the public hearing regarding request to consider CHANGING STREET NANB FROM 'NORTH NEWPORT BOULEVARD' TO 'OLD NEWPORT BOWI,EVARD.• Report from the Planning Department. The City Clerk advised that after the agenda was printed, a letter was received from George Baker, 434 North Newport Boulevard and Robert Williams, 348 North Newport Boulevard, in favor of the proposed street name change to Old Newport Boulevard. The Planning Director stated this is a request from the property owners on North Newport Boulevard, and was approved by the Planning Commission on October 7, 1993. The estimated cost of the new street name signs is $300.00. Jerry Tucker, 466 Plower Street, Costa Mesa, owner of property at 508 North Newport Boulevard, and George Baker, owner of 434 North Newport Boulevard, addressed the Council in favor of the street name change from 15th Street to PCH, indicating the change to Old Newport Boulevard will prevent a great deal of confusion when attempting to locate an address along the boulevard in this particular area. They noted there are 58 properties affected by the change. Hearing no further comments, the public hearing was closed. Notion was made to sustain the decision of the Planning Comission and adopt Resolution No. 93 -72, changing the name of North Newport Boulevard to Old Newport Boulevard; and the City to pay for the cost of installing the required new street name signs.

Mayor Turner opened the public hearing Variance regarding APPEAL OF THOMAS E. STEIMFELD 1194 ON VARIANCE NO. 1194 - Request to permit (91) as -built alterations and additions to an existing single family dwelling which results in the structure exceeding the allowable gross floor area of 2.0 times • the buildable area of the site and the allowable building height in the 24/28 Foot Height Limitation District. The proposal also includes a modification to the Zoning Code so as to allow an alteration and extension of an existing exterior stairway, which encroaches 3 feet into the required 3 foot northeasterly side yard setback, on property located at 326 Buena Vista. Report from the Planning Department. Appeal application of Thomas E. Steinfeld. The City Clerk advised that after the agenda was printed, a letter was received from J. Edward Lamar of 326 Buena Vista in opposition to the request for variance. The Planning Director noted that the subject home was originally constructed in 1947 and at that time the zoning code permitted a single- family dwelling to be 35 feet in height and contain no more than two living levels. In 1976, an as- built permit was issued for the enclosure for a 340 sq. ft. space upon the third floor which had previously been a portion of the roof deck which resulted in the property exceeding the floor area ratio by 189 sq. ft. The current owner of the property purchased the building in 1991, and had plans prepared and constructed for an addition to the third floor living area which was completed in 1992. This was an addition of 559 sq. ft. to the 189 sq. ft. which was completed in 1976. This latest expansion had no permits and no inspections from the City, and did not come to the City'a attention until a complaint was received from one of the neighbors on Buena Vista, at which time the owners applied for a variance. A variance is required inasmuch as the buildable area contained in the building is over 2.0 x the buildable area of the site; the height of the construction on the third level is greater than the 24 feet allowed by the height limitation district; and it requires a modification for the extension of the stairway in the side yard. This particular request was considered by the Planning Commission on September 9, 1993 and denied by a vote of 5 ayes, 1 noe and 1 absent. It was • subsequently appealed to the City Council with the request that it be referred back to the Planning Commission to review an alternate design proposal which involves less floor area. Volume 47 - Page 281 COUNCIL MEMBERS 14, KI Q., NQ�, 1, IN MR-100. 1 L is Motion E All Ayes CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH October 25, 1993 Thomas E. Steinfeld, representing the applicant, addressed the Council and stated that after the variance was denied, he talked to the owners and Planning staff relative to reducing some of the existing floor area in the garage and trading it for some of the area built without benefit of a permit. They are proposing to take the two car garage that exists, make it a one -car garage with car -port, and transfer that square footage to the upstairs. They will still remove the excess square footage on the third floor that was constructed, but due to the nature of the design and the subjectivity of it, they are still in need of a variance inasmuch as they will still be over the 2.0 x the buildable because the building as purchased by his client was over the 2.0. They will still used the height variance because they matched the existing heights that were presently there, and because of the need for the second exit, they are asking for an encroachment to extend an existing stairway that was there when the building was originally built. When he met with the Planning staff, it was their recommendation they follow this process in appealing it to the City Council with the request it be referred back to the Planning Commission to undertake an alternative design proposal. In response to question raised regarding why no permits were taken out for the additional room, Mr. Steinfeld stated he could not answer; however, the Planning Director noted that when the property was purchased by the current owners, they were expecting another child and this is why they built the additional room. Edward Lamar, 326 Buena Vista, addressed the Council in opposition to the request for variance, and referenced his letter of October 18, 1993. He stated that the illegal alterations should be removed, inasmuch as the third floor addition exceeds the allowable building area, and if allowed to remain, it could set a precedent for future applications. Hearing no others wishing to address the Council, the public hearing was closed. Motion was made by Mayor Turner to sustain the decision of the Planning Commission and deny Variance Mo. 1194. In response to question raised by Council Member Hedges, the Planning Director stated that in view of the foregoing action, the applicant can now either apply for a demolition permit to remove the illegal construction, or work with staff on a revised set of plans. The motion was voted on and carried. Volume 47 - Page 282 MINUTES 194 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH COUNCIL MEMBERS MINUTES s' October 25, 1993 ROLL CRLL TNTIPY 17.

The proposal also includes a request to establish the parking requirement for the health club based on a demonstrated formula. Report from the Planning Department. The Planning Director summarized the staff report and noted that the Planning Commission approved the request with a vote of 6 ayes and 1 absent. Kevin McGuire, representing Family Fitness Center, addressed the Council in support of their request, and stated they would like to become part of the community in Newport Beach. They currently have health clubs in Costa Mesa and Irvine, and many Newport Beach residents commute to those locations. If they were requested to reduce some of the square footage within the building, they would have to eliminate the child- care component and possibly the juice bar.

Council Member Hedges stated he will be voting against the motion, not because he opposes fitness centers, but due to the fact that the City Council just denied an applicant the right to add approximately 180 sq. ft. to their home, and in this instance, the applicant is being allowed an additional 3800 sq. ft.

(38) Council Member Sansone stated he did not object to the proposed study, but recommended that the public opinion survey on this subject contain a question which asks those property owners if they would support an assessment district to pay for a portion of the cost of constructing the pedestrian/bicycle bridge over MacArthur Boulevard. He indicated there was no public support for the proposed bridge and thought it would be prudent to know this .prior to any preliminary design work. He also submitted a draft of a proposed letter to be sent to Harbor View and Broadmoor homeowners. Volume 47 - Page 284 • Motion All Ayes • Motion All Ayes Motion All Ayes is CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH COUNCIL MEMBERS October 25, 1993 x The Public Works Director noted that when the BIR for the widening of MacArthur Boulevard was considered by the Council, a decision was not made with respect to the proposed bridge. Council Member Cox stated that the issue of the bridge was brought to the City by the property owners in the area who were concerned about the ability to get across MacArthur Boulevard, and he felt it would be unfair to "kill" this project on. behalf of one person's belief that it is not wanted. He does agree that the residents in the affected area should be given an opportunity to voice their opinion for or against the issue. Council Member Debay indicated she had no objection to the proposed letter, but suggested it not include any reference to.the words "assessment district." Following consideration, motion was made by Council Member Sansone to approve the Engineering Services Agreement with Robert Bain, William Frost and Associates, but in addition, a letter also be sent to homeowners in the area asking for their opinion regarding the proposed pedestrian/bike bridge over MacArthur Boulevard. 6.
