James Hewicker, Planning Director, explained that the
Traffic Study, if approved, would be effective for two
years. He said that if the project is not exercised
within that two year period, then the approval would
become null and void, and the applicant would have to
submit the application again. In response to a
question posed by Chairman Turner, Mr. Hewicker replied
that the Planning Commission could extend the subject
application beyond the two years; however, the
extension could only be limited to twelve months beyond
the date of start of construction.
The public hearing was opened in connection with this
item, and Mr. Mark Jones, 41 Hartford Drive, appeared
before the Planning Commission. Mr. Jones stated that
the applicant concurs with the findings and conditions

in Exhibit "A". He explained that the tenants
currently leasing offices at the subject site will be
vacating the property on January 31, 1989, and that the
conversion of the subject facility will commence
immediately after the tenants have left the premises.
Mr. Jones asked that the application be extended beyond
the two year period.
Discussion followed regarding an extension of no more
than twelve months beyond the allowable two year period
from the date of approval if a Building Permit has not
been issued prior to the two year expiration date. Mr.
Jones stated that the conversion of the one-story
office and industrial building to a two-story self
storage facility would take no more than three or four
months after the facility has been vacated.
Commissioner Person agreed that an extension of twelve
months beyond the allowable two years is important
because the proposed facility would be a decrease in
density.
The public hearing was closed at this time.
Motion x Motion was made to approve Traffic Study subject to the
Findings for approval, and to add Condition No. 1:
All Ayes "That the Traffic Study will expire on January 31,
1990." Motion voted on, MOTION CARRIED.
FINDINGS:
1. That a Traffic Study has been prepared which
analyzes the impact of the proposed project on the
peak hour traffic and circulation system in
accordance with Chapter 15.40 of the Newport Beach
Municipal Code and City Policy S-1.
2. That the Traffic Study indicates that the proj-
ect-generated traffic will neither cause nor make
worse an unsatisfactory level of traffic on any
'major, ' 'primary-modified, ' or 'primary' street.
3. That the project reduces traffic on both a peak
hour and daily basis.
CONDITIONS:
1. That the Traffic Study will expire on January 31,

Planning Commission Meeting August 21, 1986
Agenda Item No. 1
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Planning Department
SUBJECT: Traffic Study (Public Hearing)
Request to consider a traffic study so as to allow the
expansion and conversion of an existing one-story
office and industrial building to a two-story self
storage facility, with related storage and office
areas.
LOCATION: Lot 8, Tract No. 3201, located at 3800 Campus Drive, on
the easterly side of Campus Drive, between Bristol
Street and Quail Street, across from the John Wayne
Airport.
ZONE: M-1-A
APPLICANT: Don Jones, Newport Beach
OWNERS: Robert P. Forbes and George S. Fruehling, Newport Beach
Application
The application under consideration will, if approved, allow the
expansion and conversion of an existing industrial and office building
to a self storage facility of 28,880 sq.ft. Traffic study procedures
are contained in Chapter 15.40 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
Environmental Significance
The proposed project has been reviewed and it has been determined that
it is categorically exempt (Class 3: New Construction or Conversion
of Small Structures) from the provisions of the California Environ-
mental Quality Act (CEQA) .
Conformance with the General Plan
The Land Use Element of the Newport Beach General Plan designates the
site for a mixture of "General Industry" and "Administrative, Profes-
sional and Financial Commercial" use. The General Plan also requires
that development may not exceed a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.5,
unless it is demonstrated that the project traffic is less than that
J �
TO: Pl*ng Commission - 2.
which would be generated by a typical office development at 0.5 FAR,
in which case a development may be up to a 1.0 FAR.
A self-storage development is considered an industrial use and is
consistent with the General Plan land use designation. The project
has a floor area ratio. of 0.95 times the buildable area of the site.
Based upon information contained in the traffic study, the average
daily traffic generated by the project will be 80 automobile trips per
day. An office use with a floor area ratio of 0.5 will generate 197
daily trips, therefore, the project is consistent with the General
Plan.
Subject Property and Surrounding Land Use
The subject property is currently occupied by a one-story building
housing a light industrial business and an automobile repair facility,
To the north, east, and south are similar one- and two-story struc-
tures containing mixed industrial, office and retail uses. To the
west, across Campus Drive, are businesses associated with John Wayne
Airport.
Analysis
A traffic study has been prepared for the proposed project in confor-
mance with the City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance and City Council
Policy S-1. The Traffic Phasing Ordinance procedures allow for credit
to be granted for existing development in redevelopment projects. The
traffic generated by existing uses compares to the proposed project as
follows:
TRAFFIC GENERATION COMPARISON
EXISTING MIXED USE VS. PROPOSED PROJECT
Total Trips Generated
Time Period Existing Use Proposed Use
Evening Peak Hour:
Inbound 8 5
Outbound 17 5
Total: 25 10
Morning Peak Hour:
Inbound 15 5
Outbound 5 5
Total: 20 10
Daily Two-Way Total: 104 80
The proposed project will reduce traffic on a daily basis as well as
in the morning and evening peak hours. The project meets the criteria
of the Traffic Phasing Ordinance.
TO: Planning Commission - 3.
Conclusion and Recommendation
In order to approve a traffic study, the Planning Commission must find
that the project neither causes nor makes worse an unsatisfactory
level of traffic service on any major, primary-modified, or primary
street. The proposed project reduces traffic from the development
which exists on the site. Staff recommends approval of the Traffic
Study. Findings for Approval are attached as Exhibit "A".

RE: Traffic Study per Traffic Phasing Ordinance
Airport Self Storage, 3800 Campus Drive
Our File F370
Dear Ms. Temple:
We have been requested to conduct a trip generation and trip
distribution study for the proposed self/mini storage facility
located on the east side of Campus Drive, in the northern por-
tion of the City of Newport Beach (see figure 11 page 2) . Our
analysis have shown a net decrease in trips during the AM and
PM peak hours , as well as the 24 hour day. That analysis and
its findings are summarized in the following pages.
THE PROJECT
The project proposes the conversion of an existing one-story
building, located at 3800 Campus Drive in the City of Newport
Beach, to a two-story, self mini storage facility (see site
plan on figure 2, page 3) . The project also proposes a two-
story addition to the rear of the existing building. The front
part of the existing building will remain one-storied, for use
of the service office and record storage. The total project
area will be 28,880 square feet which are classified as
follows:
27,430 square feet - self mini storage
1,000 square feet - record storage
450 square feet - service office
28, 880 square feet - total area
Parking and circulation will remain at the same location, with
the exception of the rear parking area, which will be used for
the two-story, mini storage addition.

IMPACT ANALYSIS
PROCEDURE USED
In the course of the impact analysis, the following procedures
were used:
1. The site was visited and an inspection was made of the site
vicinity arterials and street environment.
2. A forecast was made of the amount of traffic that will be
generated by the project during the AM and PM peak periods
as well as the 24 hour day.
TRIP GENERATION FORECAST
Daily and peak hour trip generation for projects such as that
being proposed here is normally expressed in terms of trip ends
per 1,000 square feet (KSF) of gross floor area. A trip is de-
fined as a one-way vehicular journey either to or from the si-
te, or it may be a journey totally within the site. The latter
is usually referred to as an internal trip. Each trip will
have two trip ends, one at the beginning and one at the end of
the destination. Because of the nature of the proposed pro-
ject, there will be a minimal number of internal trips. There-
fore, as a "worst case" condition, it will be assumed that
there will be no internal vehicular trips.
Trip making characteristics for a variety of land use types
have been collected from a number of field studies at actual
projects, both in Southern California and elsewhere throughout
the United States. The results of these studies have been
reported upon by ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) ,
San Diego Association of Governments, Arizona Department of
Transportation, and various published and unpublished private
studies . A review of the data for developments similar to that
being proposed, indicates that the ITE rate yields a greater
amount of forecasted traffic. Therefore, as a "worst case"
condition, the ITE trip rates were used to forecast future pro-
ject trips. Traffic currently .generated by the existing devel-
opment was calculated and deducted from future traffic to
arrive at a net increase. The trip generation forecast for the
proposed development is summarized in table 1, page 6.

At the present time, the site is occupied by Liston Scientific
Corporation which is located in the front portion of the
building and Alfa Romeo, which is located in the rear portion
of the building, as previously mentioned. The Institute of
Transportation Engineers has issued different rates for Light
Industrial and Manufacturing; however, because the distinction
between the two is sometimes vague, the average rate of the two
was used to estimate the number of trips associated with Liston
Scientific Corporation, and is summarized in table 2A below.

*Daily trips were rounded to the nearest 5
It should be -noted that; 1) if the existing trip generation for
Liston Scientific were to be calculated based on the number of
employees at the facility (15-20) , the number of trips would be
30% higher than those listed in table 2A above and 2) during
the AM peak hour field observation, 18 parking spaces out of 27
provided for Liston Scientific were occupied (see figure 4 on
the following page) . As a worst case condition, however, the

number of trips listed in table 2 were used in this analysis.

The Alfa Romeo Auto Repair Shop, located at the rear of the
existing building, is a specialty auto repair facility with an
different operation from that of a regular auto repair store;
i.e. some cars may stay at the station for up to one week
waiting for a spare part. The facility contains 3 hydraulic
lifts and employs 4 people. Based upon information on the
current operation, approximately 6-8 cars per day are served at
the site, of which 50% arrive prior to 8 :00 AM and are picked
up after 5:00 PM. Table 2B, which follows, provides an esti-
mate of the traffic which currently is being generated from
this facility.

* This estimate considered that most auto owners

trips would be made if a service employee ferries
the car owner back to his destination.

IMPACT ANALYSIS/ CONCLUSION
Table 4 above summarizes the net trip generation forecast for
the proposed mini storage facility. It indicates a net decrea-
se in trips during the AM and PM peak hours as well as the 24
hour day, with the exception of the number of vehicles exiting
during the AM peak hour which was equal to the proposed project
trips . A primary reason for the decrease in trips is the dif-
ferent type of land use and operation associated with the pro-
posed project, as compared to the existing developments. A net
decrease in the number of trips will also result in a net
benefit to the circulation system at Campus Drive.
Due to the fact that the proposed project will result in a net
decrease in the amount of trips generated, neither trip dis-
tribution, nor ICU analysis is required at any of the site vi-
cinity intersections , based on the recommendation made by the
staff of the City of Newport Beach.
I hope that the above addresses all your concerns. If there
are any questions, please feel free to call us at your conveni-
ence.

COUNTY Of ORANGE
Planning Commission Meeting August 21, 1986
Agenda Item No. 1
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Planning Department
SUBJECT: Traffic Study (Public Hearing)
Request to consider a traffic study so as to allow. the
expansion and conversion ' of an existing one-story
office and industrial building to a two-story self
storage facility, with related storage and office
areas.
LOCATION: Lot 8, Tract No. 3201, located at 3800 Campus Drive, on
the easterly side of Campus Drive, between Bristol
Street and Quail Street, across from the John Wayne
Airport.
ZONE: M-l-A
APPLICANT: Don Jones, Newport Beach
OWNERS: Robert P. Forbes and George S. Fruehling, Newport Beach
Application
The application under consideration will, if approved, allow the
expansion and conversion of an existing industrial and office building
to a self storage facility of 28,880 sq.ft. Traffic study procedures
are contained in Chapter 15.40 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
Environmental Significance
The proposed project has been reviewed and it has been determined that
it is categorically exempt (Class 3: New Construction or Conversion
of Small Structures) from the provisions of the California Environ-
mental Quality Act (CEQA) .
Conformance with the General Plan
The Land Use Element of the Newport Beach General Plan designates the
site for a mixture of "General Industry" and "Administrative, Profes-
sional and Financial Commercial" use. The General Plan also requires
that development may not exceed a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.5,
unless it is demonstrated that the project traffic is less than that
r
TO- Pl a•....ing Commission - 2.
which would be generated by a typical office development at 0.5 FAR,
in which case a development may be up to a 1.0 FAR.
A self-storage development is considered an industrial use and is
consistent with the General Plan land use designation. The project
has a floor area ratio of 0.95 times the buildable area of the site.
Based upon information contained in the traffic study, the average
daily traffic generated by the project will be 80 automobile trips per
day. An office use with a floor area ratio of 0.5 will generate 197
daily trips, therefore, the project is consistent with the General
Plan.
Subject Property and Surrounding Land Use
The subject property is currently occupied by a one-story building
housing a light industrial business and �an automobile repair facility.
To the north, east, and south are similar one- and two-story -struc-
tures containing mixed -industrial, office and retail. uses. To the
west, across Campus Drive, are businesses associated with John Wayne
Airport.
Analysis
A traffic study has been prepared for the proposed project in confor-
mance with the City's Traffic Phasing Ordinance and City Council
Policy S-1. The Traffic Phasing Ordinance procedures allow for credit
to be granted for existing development in redevelopment projects. The
traffic generated by existing uses compares to the proposed project as
follows:
TRAFFIC GENERATION COMPARISON
EXISTING MIXED USE VS. PROPOSED PROJECT
Total Trips Generated
Time Period Existing Use Proposed Use
Evening Peak Hour:
Inbound 8 5
Outbound 17 5
Total: 25 10
Morning Peak Hour:
Inbound 15 5
Outbound 5 5
Total: 20 10
Daily Two-Way Total: 104 80
The proposed project will reduce traffic on a daily basis as well as
in the morning and evening peak hours. The project meets the criteria
of the Traffic Phasing Ordinance.
TO: Planning Commission - 3.
Conclusion and Recommendation
In order to approve a traffic study, the Planning Commission must find
that the project neither causes nor makes worse an unsatisfactory
level of traffic service on any major, primary-modified, or primary
street. The proposed project reduces traffic from the development
which exists on the site. Staff recommends approval of the Traffic
Study. Findings for Approval are attached as Exhibit "A".

RE: Traffic Study per Traffic Phasing Ordinance ,
Airport Self Storage, 3800 Campus Drive
Our File F370
Dear Ms. Temple:
We have been requested to conduct a trip generation and trip
distribution study for the proposed self/mini storage facility
located on the east side of Campus Drive, in the northern por-
tion of the City of Newport Beach (see figure 11 page 2) . Our
analysis have shown a net decrease in trips during the AM and
PM peak hours , as well as the 24 hour day. That analysis and
its findings are summarized in the following pages.
THE PROJECT
The project proposes the conversion of an existing one-story
building, located at 3800 Campus Drive in the City of Newport
Beach, to a two-story, self mini storage facility ( see site
plan on figure 2, page 3) . The project also proposes a two-
story addition to the rear of the existing building. The front
part of the existing building will remain one-storied, for use
of the service office and record storage. The total project
area will be 28,880 square feet which are classified as
follows:
27, 430 square feet - self mini storage
1 ,000 square feet - record storage
450 square feet - service office
28, 880 square feet - total area
Parking and circulation will remain at the same location, with
the exception of the rear parking area, which will be used for
the two-story, mini storage addition.

IMPACT ANALYSIS
PROCEDURE USED
In the course of the impact analysis, the following procedures
were used:
1. The site was visited and an inspection was made of the site
vicinity arterials and street environment.
2. A forecast was made of the amount of traffic that will be
generated by the project during the AM and PM peak periods
as well as the 24 hour day.
TRIP GENERATION FORECAST
Daily and peak hour trip generation for projects such as that
being proposed here is normally expressed in terms of trip ends
per 1,000 square feet (KSF) of gross floor area. A trip is de-
fined as a one-way vehicular journey either to or from the si-
te, or it may be a journey totally within the site. The latter
is usually referred to as an internal trip. Each trip will
have two trip ends, one at the beginning and one at the end of
the destination. Because of the nature of the proposed pro-
ject, there will be a minimal number of internal trips. There-
fore, - as a "worst case" condition, it will be assumed that
there will be no internal vehicular trips.
Trip making characteristics for a variety of land use types
have been collected from a number of field studies at actual
projects, both in Southern California and elsewhere throughout
the United States. The results of these studies have been
reported upon by ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) ,
San Diego Association of Governments, Arizona Department of
Transportation, and various published and unpublished private
studies . A review of the data for developments similar to that
being proposed, indicates that the ITE rate yields a greater
amount of forecasted traffic. Therefore, as a "worst case"
condition, the ITE trip rates were used to forecast future pro-
ject trips . Traffic currently generated by the existing devel-
opment was calculated and deducted from future traffic to
arrive at a net increase. The trip generation forecast for the
proposed development is summarized in table 1, page 6.

At the present time, the site is occupied by Liston Scientific
Corporation which is located in the front -portion df the
building and Alfa Romeo, which is located in the rear portion
of the building, as previously mentioned. The Institute of
Transportation Engineers has issued different rates for Light
Industrial and Manufacturing; however, because the distinction
between the two is sometimes vague, the average rate of the two
was used to estimate the number of trips associated with Liston
Scientific Corporation, and is summarized iri table 2A below.

It should be noted that; 1) if the existing trip generation for
Liston Scientific were to be calculated based on the number of
employees at the facility (15-20) , the number of trips would be
30% higher than those listed in table 2A above and 2) during
the AM peak hour field observation, 18 parking spaces out of 27
provided for Liston Scientific were occupied (see figure 4 on
the following page) . As a worst case condition, however, the

different operation from that of a regular auto repair store;
i.e. some cars may stay at the station for up to one week
waiting for a spare part. The facility contains 3 hydraulic
lifts and employs 4 people. Based upon information on the
current operation, approximately 6-8 cars per day are served at
the site, of which 50% arrive prior to 8 :00 AM and are picked
up after 5:00 PM. Table 2B, which follows, provides an esti-
mate of the traffic which currently is being generated from
this facility.

IMPACT ANALYSIS/ CONCLUSION
Table 4 above summarizes the net trip generation forecast for
the proposed mini storage facility. It indicates a net decrea-
se in trips during the AM and PM peak hours as well as the 24
hour day, with the exception of the number of vehicles exiting
during the AM peak hour which was equal to the proposed project
trips . A primary reason for the decrease in trips is the dif-
ferent type of land use and operation associated with the pro-
posed project, as compared to the existing developments. A net
decrease in the number of trips will also result in a net
benefit to the circulation system at Campus Drive.
Due to the fact that the proposed project will result in a net
decrease in the amount of trips generated, neither trip dis-
tribution, nor ICU analysis is required at any of the site vi-
cinity intersections, based on the recommendation made by the
staff of the City of Newport Beach.
I hope that the above addresses all your concerns. If there
are any questions, please feel free to call us at your conveni-
ence.

It should be noted that; 1) if the existing trip generation for
Liston Scientific were to be calculated based on the number of
employees at the facility (15-20) , the number of trips would be
30% higher than those listed in table 2A above and 2) during
the AM peak hour field observation, 18 parking spaces out of 27
provided for Liston Scientific were occupied (see figure 4 on
the following page) . As a worst case condition, however, the

The Alfa Romeo Auto Repair Shop, located at the rear of the
existing building, is a specialty auto repair facility with an
different operation from that of a regular auto repair store;
i.e. some cars may stay at the station for up to one week
waiting for a spare part. The facility contains 3 hydraulic
lifts and employs 4 people. Based upon information on the
current operation, approximately 6-8 cars per day are served at
the site, of which 50% arrive prior to 8:00 AM and are picked
up after 5:00 PM. Table 2B, which follows, provides an esti-
mate of the traffic which currently is being generated from
this facility.

* This estimate considered that most auto owners
will have a second person drive them to the auto
repair store and then drive them back (after work)
to pick up their cars; or that a similar number of
trips would be made if a service employee ferries
the car owner back to his destination.

The foregoing tables 1, 2A and 2B detail the trip generation
for each of the existing and the proposed facility. Table 4,
page 9, summarizes the net trip generation forecast.

IMPACT ANALYSIS/ CONCLUSION
Table 4 above summarizes the net trip generation forecast for
the proposed mini storage facility. It indicates a net decrea-
se in trips during the AM and PM peak hours as well as the 24
hour day, with the exception of the number of vehicles exiting
during the AM peak hour which was equal to the proposed project
trips. A primary reason for the decrease in trips is the dif-
ferent type of land use and operation associated with the pro-
posed project, as compared to the existing developments. A net
decrease in the number of trips will also result in a net
benefit to the circulation system at Campus Drive.
Due to the fact that the proposed project will result in a net
decrease in the amount of trips generated, neither trip dis-
tribution, nor ICU analysis is required at any of the site vi-
cinity intersections, based on the recommendation made by the
staff of the City of Newport Beach.
I hope that the above addresses all your concerns. If there
are any questions, please feel free to call us at your conveni-
ence.
