Commissioner Kranzley recused himself from this matter, as he was not present at
the prior meeting when this matter was heard.
Ms. Temple noted that the applicant's architect has redesigned the roof of the
building that had been considered by the Planning Commission in association
with approval of a variance. The roof has been modified to a point where it is
higher. While still conforming in most cases, it is higher than what had been'
reviewed by the Planning Commission on July 191h. This is a request by staff to
determine if this is substantially in compliance with the standards used to approve
the variance or whether the Commission believes an amended variance is be
required and bring it back for a public hearing.
Chairperson Tucker asked if the area where the roof pitch increases the height of
the building is the area in which the variance was needed?

Staff answered, the area that got increased was below the height limit towards
the front of the property;it has raised the roof peak by approximately 10 inches.
Tom Berger, 20331 Irvine Avenue, architect for the project noted the slight
differences were made to the roof in conjunction to the change of architectural
style. The objective for the design change was that the homeowners learned that
two houses within their immediate vicinity were going to be the some style that
they had originally chosen. It was felt that having a New England style house
would blend in with the others and so the homeowners felt they wanted to have
another more distinctive architectural style.
Chairperson Tucker asked if any Commissioners had an issue with the ten inches
not within the variance area,he was answered no.
Public comment was opened/closed.

PROJECT: Glabman Residence (PA20QI-063)2315 Pacific Drive FILE

SUMMARY: Review of final plans for substantial conformance with plans approved July
19, 2001.
RECOMMENDED
AMON: Determine that the revised elevations and roof plans are in substantial
conformance with the plans approved on July 19,2001.
APPLICANT: Mr. &Mrs. Jim Glabman,Newport Beach
Introduction
On July 19, 2001, the Planning Commission approved Variance No. 2001-002 and Modification
No. 2001--060 to allow portions of a proposed residence remodel to exceed the 24-foot height limit
and a portion of the residence to be located within the front and side yard setback. The applicant has
continued the design process and has made several changes to the roof and elevations that has
increased the overall height of the roof. The purpose for the change is a desire by the owner to
create a more attractive street elevation while maximizing the interior ceiling height. In keeping
with past department practice, the changes are being presented to the Planning Commission for a
determination of substantial conformance.
Discussion
It is staff s policy when a variance to building height is approved, the threshold of what is in found
to be in substantial conformance with the original drawings is very low. The applicant's architect
has prepared a set of drawings that show the approved elevations side by side with the revised
elevations. The primary difference is in the pitch of the roof which has been increased from 6:12 to
8:12 which covers roughly the half of the residence closer to the street. This portion of the residence
was not the portion of the residence permitted to exceed the 24-foot height limit. Additional
dormers, hips, ridges and valleys have been added. The impact of the changes is that the ultimate
height of the ridges has increased from 102.37' to 103.20' (10 inch increase). The increased height
in the roof is in conformance with the 24-foot height limit as the midpoint of the roof is below 24
feet and the ridge is below 29 feet as measured from natural grade. Staff believes that the increased
height of the roof has negligible impact to public views as the roof would only block a portion of
the sky from the vantage point of the public right of way. When the vantage point is taken from the
second level of the homes across the street, the impingement of view is more noticeable.
Conclusion `
Staff wanted the Commission to review the proposed changes in the roof as the proposed increase
height has an effect upon the circumstances considered by the Commission that led to project
approval on July 19, 2001. If the lower height of the portion of the roof closer to the street was a
significant factor in the approval of the variance and the 10 inch increase in height as requested and
depivted in the drawings negatively impacts public views, staff recommends that the revised plans
not be found in substatitiil conformance. On the contrary, if the height of the portion of roof in
question was not a significant factor that led to the approval of Variance No. 2001-002, staff
recommends that the revised plans be approved.

ir• town that could be subsidized to provide the affordable housing. It seems like
we,.ore forcing a square peg in a round hole.
Ms. Wbod answered that we could come back with some analysis on this, and
take a Ik at what the rent limits should be for the lower income categories that
we should','a serving and the average rents for the various size units and
therefore hove far we could get with our in-lieu fund of 2.5 million. We can also
talk to the HC 13 staff about this as we work with them on the review of the draft.
Albert Armijo state that what we could do is compare the fair average market
rent for various sizes off�apartments to what the affordability or what an area-wide
affordability index would be. We could see what the difference would be for the
subsidization of those unit°s:
'4
Chairperson Selich added 1 to give us an idea if we endowed 2.5 million
dollars, how many units could I R subsidize with that? He then asked staff when
this would be coming back for re�l\w.
Ms. Wood answered that it would be izt, least 45 days because that is the period
of time HCD has to review the draft. It d'epends on what their comments are and
how many revisions we need to make. ,
Commissioner Gifford asked to also look at if'�ve flex the range for in-lieu fees to
be collected on new development. How muc�, based on what kind of new
development you think is coming through could bl"added to that fund over the
next five years?
Commissioner McDaniel noted that the.City is charge th having affordable
housing, not to subsidize housing so that it now beco �s affordable. I am
concerned and I am worried that we may be using funds t t may or may not
dry up at some point. Have we made the mark? Subsidized husing is a 30-year
project.
Commissioner Gifford then asked about the annexation of NewpACoast and
how that would relate to this issue.
Ms. Wood answered that these numbers are above and beyond what occ\onthe Coast.

of which a portion of the new construction exceeds the 24-foot height limit, 07/19/2001
ranging from approximately 2 feet to 11.4 feet. The proposal includes a

modification request to permit encroachments of a garage into the front and
side yard setbacks (5 feet into the required 17.5-toot front yard setback and 4
feet into the required 4-foot side yard setback along the northerly property line).
Senior Planner Jim Campbell presented three pieces of correspondence
received that day. He then gave an overview of the staff report noting the
following during a slide presentation:
• Addition is approximately 1,385 square feet.
• Existing project is and will remain three levels_
• Addition is comprised of a garage reconfiguration, a front porch
addition, a laundry room addition to the upper level and a master
bedroom addition to the rear of the home with an open deck.
• The addition at the back of the home would exceed the 24-foot height
limitation.
• Main level deck is to be expanded._
• Basement excavation will increase the floor area of the lower level.
• The entire roof will be reconstructed.
• Upper level deck extension exceeds the height limit.
• Encroachments into the height limit are not particularly visible from
Pacific Drive because the existing house blocks these areas.
• There is a 5-foot encroachment of the corner of the garage as well as a
5-foot encroachment of a portion of the front yard setback.
• Side yard setback area is at zero.
• Angled garage with two doors to be reconfigured into a two-door
garage opening facing off Pacific Drive.
• Locations of caissons to be used for support.
Commissioner McDaniel clarified that if the lot next door at 2319 was built out
to where it could be, the side view would be eliminated. Staff concurred.
Commissioner Kiser asked it any of the increased portions of the roof would be
visible from Pacific Drive; will they be higher with the multiple design changes in
the roof?
Mr. Campbell answered that basically the entire roof of the structure will need
to be removed and the new roof will run perpendicular to the street. The peaks
of the roof will be approximately 2 feet higher than existing but would comply
with the 24-foot height limitation. The new master bedroom addition roof ridge
will run parallel to the bluff, but the reconstructed roof over the front portion of
the house will run perpendicular to the street. The posted exhibit on the wall
shows the renderings.
Chairperson Selich noted that the project is not going any lower down the
bluffs other than the caissons for support.
Mr. Campbell answered that two of the caissons are within the existing
developed area and three of the caissons will be down the slope of the existing
ll

footing that is there now. The house is not substantially going further down the
hill than it is now. Staff believes that it is consistent with the General Plan policy
to minimize alterations of coastal bluffs.
Continuing, Chairperson Selich asked about the history of the existing two
garages adjacent to each other with zero setbacks, when they were done and
how it has been handled over the years. I assume that the zero setback was
allowed a long time ago and that the recent remodel let it continue as such.
Ms. Temple answered that we could go back to research this information, but
unless the remodel was in the area of the non-conformity, the Code does not
require it to be made conforming unless there is actual alterations in that area.
My suspicion is that the subsequent remodel that probably happened, simply
avoided that area in order to maintain the existing non-conformity. I do not
know that for a fact. We can get the information if this item is continued.
Chairperson Selich then asked how we ended up with 12 feet of right-of-way
that was vacated and there is 10 feet in other areas, isn't the right-of-way line
parallel to the sidewalk?
Ms. Temple noted that when the abandonment and associated zone changes
to Pacific Drive were done after the more precise surveying and engineering,
the actual amount of right-of-way abandonment for each lot did vary a range
of approximately 3 to 4 feet depending on which lot as the street is curved.
Commissioner Gifford noted that she did not have a submission letter from the
applicant justifying the required findings for the variance in her packet. I
understand it has been submitted and I would like to have an opportunity to
review that.
Staff answered that it was inadvertently left off the attachment list and
presented it for review.
Public comment was opened.
Tam Burger, Irvine Ave, Santa Ana Heights, architect for the project noted the
following:
• House was last remodeled in the '80's.
• House has a small upper floor with small bedrooms,with no master suite.
• Deck is set three feet below the main level and blocks the view out of
the lower level.
• Roof of the living room projects upwards and blocks the view out of the
small upper floor bedrooms.
• The applicant is aware of the concern of bluff development so the
proposal preserves the bluffs.
• A deck at each level is proposed that will provide the only outdoor
space on this property, which is vertical cliff at the back of the house.
• The living area of the house is actually 4,524 square feet.
12
City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Minutes
June 21, 2001 INDEX
• Applicants have met with neighbors to review the design and have
received letters of support from some of there.
• The lot has 6 feet of fall from the front to the center and then about 40
feet to Bayside Drive.
• The combined topography and irregular shape clearly distinguishes this
lot from others in the vicinity in the some zoning. We feel this creates a
hardship.
• The objective is to keep the remodel within the existing footprint to
preserve the bluff and actually preserve as much of the house as we
can.
• Modifications in the front are due to the angular relationship of the
property line relative to the street.
• We are taking away the zero setback (approximately 10 feet) and
replacing it with a corner that would touch at one point. The majority
of the existing encroachment in the front would be moved back behind
where the garage is now.
• The encroachment will be reduced as well as the presence of the
house on Pacific Drive.
• A small covered porch in the front is to be added and will extend
towards the garage, it will remain open and not enclose any floor area.
• the height variances occur in the back half of the lot where the grade
drops down steeply.
• Some of the new addition will be positioned toward Pacific Drive and is
within the setback and the height limit.
• The decks will extend beyond the current footprint in the back of the
house and will be supported by the new caissons.
• The highest point of the variance is at the glass railing of the upper level
deck.
• The roof is sloped to lend a craftsman style architecture.
• We feel this is a unique situation created by the combination of the
trapezoidal shape of the lot, the shallow depth and the 45 feet drop off
that occurs at on-angle to the building site.
Commissioner Tucker noted a letter received stating that the new roof would
block a large portion of the harbor view from his home and would detract from
the property value. What kind of impact do you have on his view?
Mr. Burger answered that he has not seen the view from his home. He noted
that both the new home and existing home have horizontal ridges that are
perpendicular to the view. Maybe that view is the small corridor between this
home and the one next door. We could do a different roof design and make it
higher, it would still be within the height limit.
Commissioner Gifford asked if any exterior remodel had happened since 1984.
She was answered that the applicants bought the home a year ago and to the
best of knowledge, it does not appear to have been remodeled.
At Commission inquiry, Mr. Burger noted:

• All of the neighbors had been invited to view the proposed plans by
the applicants.
• The garage will continue to sit on the property line.
• No mitigation is proposed.
Chairperson Selich, referring to the floor plan, noted that it seems you could
slide the garage over 4 feet and adhere to the setbacks and do some
reconfiguration of the entry, powder room, elevator shaft and storage room
behind the dining room and still have functionally the some house. What is
your reaction to that?
Mr. Burger agreed that on paper it would be easy to do. In the context of
trying to keep as many of the existing walls where they are to minimize the
amount of demolition that is required to get into this construction project, that
would become very difficult to shift the garage wall. What we plan on doing is
removing the roof and the upper floor down to the floor level. Once that
garage is moved, which is a load-bearing wall for the upper floor, you can't
really keep those floor joists either. Once you get into that, it starts to escalate
into a much larger reconstruction job.
Chairperson Selich asked why a piece of steel could not be placed across to
support the upper levels? The only major structural impediment is that load-
bearing wall along the left side of the garage. The rest of it in terms of the
entry becomes more a function of design as opposed to construction costs.
Mr. Burger answered there are many ways, move the foundation, put a piece
of steel in, etc. The applicants want an adequate house to enjoy with a
spacious garage. Shifting the garage over is all within the realm of possibility.
Barbara Corbett, 2316 Pacific Drive noted she is opposed to the height
variance part of the application. She stated that the current house is
extremely huge from the street_ Mr. Burger was invited to come to her home,
which he did, to see what the impact of the height difference would be. Her
neighbor, Betty at 2312 Pacific Drive gave a letter, which she then read. The
letter noted that the house is high due to a remodel 15 years ago. By leaving
one garage wall standing from the original small house, a wall shared by the
garage at 2305, their remodel was approved and is the tall structure seen
today. The remodel changed the appearance of the bluff and decreased
property values on our side of Pacific Drive due to the loss of view. If the height
of the house remains the same, I will not object to the variance. In closing,she
noted that the letters of support have come from the homeowners on the bluff
side of the street, those on the other side` all object. She asked that the
applicant re-design the project.
At Commission inquiry, Ms. Corbett stated she realizes that the house could be
built higher on the street side and have more of an impact, without a
variance. However, it would be "un-neighborly" and she would find it
offensive.

Steven dash, 2319 Pacific Drive noted his support of the application. He noted
that he also intends to remodel his project in the future.
Bill Edwards, at 3334 East Coast Highway, assistant architect for the project
noted the following:
• The applicants have an opportunity to build 5 five feet higher than is
currently designed.
• The potential shift in the garage; re-location would be an extremely
dramatic change in the existing design and place the front entry going
into the dining room.
• The expansion of the living space includes no expansion down the
slope.
• No impacts to neighbors across the street.
• This is a fine compliment to the trend of improving existing properties on
Pacific Drive.
Jim Globman, 2315 Pacific Drive stated that he has shown the plans to his
neighbors. The topography and shape of the lot causes severe problems. To
build in the upper level would require us to go beyond the height limits. If the
garage were moved, it would eliminate the entryway into our home, as the
house is narrow at that side. One thing impacts another and would ruin the
front of the house. Our main purpose is to park two cars in the garage, which
can't be done now. Several of the neighbors have expressed their support for '
our project, including neighbors on the other side of the street. The new house
will be attractive and will have an elevator accessing on all three floors.
Public comment was closed.
Chairperson Selich noted his concern of the project is the continuation of the
zero setback situations on the garage. It is something we would not permit
today.
Ms. Temple stated that modifications have been ap
proved to allow re-
construction of old garages that have encroached to the point of zero
setbacks. Usually it had to do with the size or shape of the lot, or access
difficulties. Oftentimes it occurs on the Balboa Peninsula on the "T" alleys
where it is difficult to get in and out on a lg-foot alley. By leaving the garage in
its existing position, it helped to solve some of those problems; we have
approved modifications to retain old non-conformities.
Chairperson Selich noted that the house next door is probably going to be torn
down or at least substantially modified at some point in time as it is an older
structure. At that time, there would be an opportunity to bring these two yard
setbacks into conformity. I guess I disagree with the statements that were
made by the architects on the effects of moving the garage. There is always a
design solufion and ways to do angle entries and reconfigure the elevator shaft
and storage area behind the dining room. 1 am not convinced it is a design
15

Planning Commission Minutes
June 21, 2001 INDEX
impossibility so I guess it is a matter of whether we think enough is gained by
moving the garage over and maintaining setbacks in the normal manner to
have them do a redesign on that portion of the project. Other than that, I
thought the project was reasonably designed. The one thing I have been
concerned about is the bluff alteration aspect and this is one of those
examples of looking at the profile of the lot, if they elected to tear the house
down and start over, they could do a lot of bluff alteration and not have to
come in for any kind of variance at all. They could do something substantially
more massive and detrimental than what is being proposed. I think the project
is positive from that standpoint. As far as the view blockage, I don't see where
it will block any more than what is permitted under the existing height
regulations,
ons. It appears to b -
9 pp e 5 b feet below the maximum, the only oblique
area is next to the neighbor next door and he stated he is planning on
remodeling.
p 9
Commissioner McDaniel, noting that he had visited the site, stated the
proposed changes fix a lot of problems that exist on the property. The proposal
enhances the
abilit
y for the applicant to use the property and the minimal
changes saves the bluff and minimizes encroachment into the height. The
applicant re-design.has
pp been thoughtful in his re design. I can't see where the changes
would impact the views. I am pleased with the design and the application at
this point.
Commissioner Kiser noted his agreement with the previous statements. He
added that as pointed out in the staff report, there is as much encroachment
being removed on existing structures as there is being created by the new
proposal. Concerning bluff preservation, if we were to force the roof down
another two feet and the applicant re-designed, they could choose to come
considerably further down the bluff and create a home that would not be a
benefit to anyone's view, public or private. The only problem I have is the zero
setback on the one side. As difficult -cu t as it might be to re design, I am sure that
thins could be done with some ome creative solutions. I would have a real
problem approving a zero setback on a garage when recognizing it looks
terrible. The redesign could potentially open up a small view corridor or sense of
a view between the homes at least when the home next door is re-designed as
well. I am in support of the application, but steps should be taken to recapture
that side yard setback.
Commissioner Agajanian noted his support of the application with the removal
of the zero side yard setback.
Commissioner Tucker noted he questions if there was going to be any view
blockage. The applicant is not building completely to the max of what the
Zoning Code allows. It merits a variance because the property falls off a cliff.
As for as the garage setback, we don't usually get involved with the
modification issues. I am not terribly troubled by this situation as it is replacing
an existing situation and making a better design solution overall. I wonder how
many feet of setback off the property line would we be talking about, is it
16
City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Minutes

complete compliance? We need to give some guidance as to what we are
looking for. I would support the variance based upon the plans that were
drawn.
Commissioner Gifford noted her support of the application as the analysis of the
trade-offs is fair. I think however, that we have a property that has been non-
conforming and that status is granted in the recognition that as a property
ages, that non-conforming feature will eventually be eliminated. Given the
nature of the neighborhood and the possibility of alternative design solutions,
the side yard setback should be brought back into conformance for the whole
length of the property. We do see a lot of modifications, but not necessarily in
conjunction with additional modifications and variances. I am in favor of
having the side yard setback conform.
Chairperson Selich re-opened the public comment and asked the applicant if
he would be willing to go for a continuance on this matter and study a re-
design of the garage element.
Mr. Berger asked if it is possible to approve the height variance separate from
the modification: He was told that it is a total package. Continuing, he stated
he could meet with the owners to discuss options and come back at a later
date.
Chairperson Selich noted he would like to see the 4-foot setback. We would
like to see the best effort on it. It may be it can't be designed that way, I don't
know. It is not our job to do the design work; it is your job to present us the
designs.

(Continued from 06-21-01) M 2001-060
• ' Variance No. 2001-002
• Modification Permit No. 2001-060
Request for a variance to permit an addition to an existing single family residence Approved
of which a portion of the new construction exceeds the 24foot height limit,
ranging from approximately 2 feet to 11.4 feet. The proposal includes a
modification request to permit encroachments of a garage into the front and side
yard setbacks (5 feet into the required 17.5-foot front yard setback and 4 feet into
the required 4-foot side yard setback along the northerly property line).
Chairperson Tucker noted that this item had been heard at a previous meeting
and that only o couple of issues need to be addressed during this evening's
presentation. He stated that during the last hearing, the project was found to be
acceptable with the exception of the modification portion where there was a
zero setback on one of the elements in the garage. During the course of that
hearing. Commissioner Selich agreed to field questions from the architect and
applicant. We now have a revised plan that has been submitted to us.
Commissioner Selich noted that he had met with the applicant and architect the
week following the Planning Commission meeting. The solution they come up with ,
meets my expectations. They were able to pull the building back from the side
yard and create a 2' 10" building separation and still maintain the integrity of the
entryway and provide for two parking spaces. The did push the garage a little
p 9 P Y P 9 g
bit further out towards the street, which I felt was more
o e than a fair tradeoff for
getting the additional side yard area. I would note that the street angles at the
front of the house so that not all of the garage actually encroaches into the front
yard setback area.
Commissioner Kiser asked what the term 'non-standard improvements' means in
condition 4?
Mr. Edmonston answered that non-standard improvements are typically pavers, or
anything other than a normal concrete sidewalk. When those are done, the
adjacent property owner agrees to maintain them at their expense should the
need arise for maintenance in the future.
Chairperson Tucker noted that the date in the first condition ought to be July 3rd
instead of July 19th.
Public comment was opened.
Tom Berger, Irvine .Avenue, Santa Ana Heights as architect spoke for the
applicants. They have met with Commissioner Selich and worked out a
compromise that the Glabman's support and that bring the garage into
substantial conformity with the desires of the City as for as the setbacks go. In the

process of studying the setbacks, although the elevations show rock veneer, the
plans did not. The rock veneer does have an impact of a couple of inches. The
new garage sideyard setback does address the rock veneer; the existing setback
on the opposite side of the house that is 4 feet does not allow for any rock veneer
and we would Pike to add a rock veneer around the corner so that it does not stop
at the front corner of the house. That would probably be in the range of between
2 and 4 inches more. If we wrap that comer 10 feet back so that it can look like a
solid part of the structure, that would involve a 2 to 4 inch encroachment on the
left side as well. Other than that,we appreciate your comments and support.
Chairperson Tucker asked staff what should be done about the additional
encroachment?
Ms. Temple answered that we have not given the public hearing notice on the
encroachment on the other side property line. While we know that the adjoining
property owner did receive notice of the variance, we have no way of knowing
whether an encroachment into the setback would be a concern. The proper
procedure would be to continue for re-noticing. If the applicant wanted to go
ahead and have the variance approved, as is, and pursue the modification
separately that would be an alternative and would be a new and separate
application.
Chairperson Tucker asked the applicant what they would like to do.
Mr. Berger answered that they prefer to have the variance approved now without
any veneer and then they will process that piece of the side yard through the
Modifications Committee with the associated costs that would be required.
Public comment was closed.
Motion was made by Commissioner Selich to approve Variance 2001-002 and
Modification Permit No. 2001-060 with the findings and recommendations of staff
attached.
Commissioner Agajanian asked if there was any way that the front of the
garage might be pulled back at all? He was answered that there is a possibility
to move the garage back at the expense of the kitchen or the pantry.
Commissioner Kiser suggested that on condition 1, in addition to the date
changed to July 310 that it also refers to the partial main level plan. The maker of
the motion agreed.
Ms. Temple further clarified plans dated July 3, 2001 except for the easterly
sideyard encroachment (for the veneer). The architect had mentioned that the
plan showed the rock facing on the easterly side yard that was encroaching 2-4 '
inches into the sideyard setback that was not included in the public hearing
notice. She clarified that this would be excluded from the partial main level
plan approval.

Noes: None
Absent: Kranzley
Findings and Conditions of Approval for
Variance No. 2001-002 and
Modification No. 2001-060
Findings:
t. That the proposed development is consistent with the General Plan since
a single-family dwelling is a permitted use within the Single-Family
Residential designation.
2. That this project has been reviewed, and it qualifies for a categorical
exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act under
Class I (Minor Alteration to Existing Structures less than 2,500 square feet or
less than 50%of the floor area).
3. That the design of the proposed improvements will not conflict with any
easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of
property within the proposed development since no other public
easements exist on the site.
4. That the granting of the variance to allow portions of the addition to
exceed the permitted height limit is warranted in that there are special
circumstances applicable to the property;is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of substantial property rights of the applicant; is consistent
with the purposes of this code;and will not be materially detrimental to the
surrounding neighborhood for the following reasons:
a) The unique topography of the site restricts the ability to comply with
the height limitations, the applicant has designed an addition to the
house that attempts to work within the constraints of the lot to the
degree possible and the applicant is unable to design an addition
comparable to other homes in the neighborhood without exceeding
the height limit.
b) The code provides the flexibility in application of land use and
development regulations by way of permitting variance applications,
and the variance procedure is intended to resolve practical and
unnecessary physical hardships resulting from the unique topography
and lot configurations that exist in the area and on this lot.
c) The shape and size of the lot constrains the ability to design a structure
in that the lot is trapezoidal in shape resulting in a lot width at mid point
of approximately 46 feet.
d) The proposed addition is generally comparable to the size and bulk of
other buildings in the surrounding neighborhood and strict application
4
it l
City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Minutes
July 19, 2001 INDEX
of height requirements could,result in an addition that is either too
small or confined to permit the additions to be of a size and to contain
the amenities to be feasible or desirable for the owner.
e) The proposed addition is generally in conformance with the surround
neighborhood when viewed from Pacific Drive, and has a similar
appearance of surrounding properties when viewed from Bayside
Drive.
f) The code provides the flexibility in application of land use and
development regulations by way of permitting variance applications,
and the City has granted other similar requests in the area to exceed
the permitted height due to sloped conditions existing on lots with
similar topography.
g) were the project to use the full height available for pitched roofs, the
elevation could be four feet higher at the front elevation as viewed
from Pacific Drive.
h) Although some view area will be impaired with the proposed
additions, the existing views from surrounding properties will not be
significantly restricted.
i) The building design and materials are an upgrade of the existing
property and will blend with the style and materials used in other
remodels and new construction in the area.
5. That the modification to the Zoning Code as proposed would be
consistent with the legislative intent of Title 20 of the Newport Beach
Municipal Code; is a logical use of the property that would be
precluded by strict application of the zoning requirements for this District;
will not be detrimental to persons, properly or improvements in the
neighborhood or increase any detrimental effect of the existing use; and
is a reasonable design solution for the lot for the following reasons:
a) The property is existing non-conforming and the proposed
modification does not substantially increase the degree on non-
conformity.
b) The proposed modification results in a project that is consistent
with the development within the vicinity.
c) The modification results in a better design of the garage and
adds an open porch to the front of the dwelling, which is
consistent with the architectural style. '
d) The modification related to the front yard setback will not result in
construction that will block views of the public or from ,
surrounding properties in that they are located at the front of the
structure and to the side behind an existing side yard
encroachment.
e) The proposed modification will not affect the flow of air or light to i
adjoining properties because it is located at the front of the
structure and to the side behind an existing side yard
encroachment.
f) The proposed modification actually improves the non-conformity

in that the north side yard has been increased to permit a public
view corridor where no views currently exist.

1. That development shall be in substantial conformance with the approved
site plan, floor plan and elevations dated March 16, 2001 incorporating the
modified partial main level garage floor/site pion dated July -i- 1 2001,
except for the easterly side yard encroachment for the veneer.
2. That two independently accessible parking spaces shall be provided on
site for the parking of vehicles only, and shall be available to serve the

traffic control equipment and flagmen. Traffic control and transportation
of equipment and materials shall be conducted in accordance with state r
and local requirements.
6. That all mechanical equipment and trash areas shall be screened from

exceed the permitted height limit is warranted in that there are special
circumstances applicable to the property; is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of substantial property rights of the applicant; is consistent

surrounding neighborhood for the following reasons:
a) The unique topography of the site restricts the ability to comply with
the height limitations, the applicant has designed an addition to the
house that attempts to work within the constraints of the lot to the
degree possible and the applicant is unable to design an addition
comparable to other homes in the neighborhood without exceeding
the height limit.

unnecessary physical hardships resulting from the unique topography
and lot configurations that exist in the area and on this lot.
c) The shape and size of the lot constrains the ability to design a structure
in that the lot is trapezoidal in shape resulting in a lot width at mid point
of approximately 46 feet.
d) The proposed addition is generally comparable to the size and bulk of
other buildings in the surrounding neighborhood and strict application

small or confined to permit the additions to be of a size and to contain
the amenities to be feasible or desirable for the owner.
e) The proposed addition is generally in conformance with the surround
neighborhood when viewed from Pacific Drive, and has a similar

5. That the modification to the Zoning Code as proposed would be

will not be detrimental to persons, property or improvements in the
neighborhood or increase any detrimental effect of the existing use; and
is a reasonable design solution for the lot for the following reasons,
a) The property is existing non-conforming and the proposed
modification does not substantially increase the degree on non-
conformity.
b) The proposed modification results in a project that is consistent
with the development within the vicinity.
c) The modification results in a better design of the garage and
adds an open porch to the front of the dwelling, which is
consistent with the architectural style.
d) The modification related to the front yard setback will not result in
construction that will block views of the public or from
surrounding properties in that they are located at the front of the

PROJECT: Glabman Residence(PA2001-063)
2315 Pacific Drive
PURPOSE OF
APPLICATION: Request for a variance to permit an addition to an existing single family
q
residence of which a portion of the new construction exceeds the 24-foot
height limit, ranging from approximately 2 feet to 11.4 feet. The proposal
includes a modification request to permit encroachments of a garage into
the front and side yard setbacks (5 feet into the required 17.5-foot front
yard setback and 4 feet into the required 4-foot side yard setback along the
northerly property line).
ACTION: Approve,modify or deny:
• Variance No. 2001-002
• Modification Permit No. 2001-060
ZONE: R-1 (Single Family Residential)
OWNER: Mr. &Mrs. Jim Glabman,Newport Beach
Introduction
On June 21, 2001, the Planning Commission considered a request by Mr. and Mrs. Glabman to permit
an addition to an existing single family residence that exceeds the height limit and encroaches into the
front and side yard setbacks. The existing residence is non-conforming in that a portion of the existing
garage already encroaches within both setbacks. The Commission directed the applicant to reduce the
side yard setback encroachment and continued the project to the meeting of July 19,2001.
Discussion
At the meeting of June 21, 2001, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the subject
variance and modification request. In discussing the request, there was general consensus by the
Planning Commission that the variance request was reasonable and that the mandatory findings for the
variance could be made. In addition,the Planning Commission appeared to concur that the modification
request with respect to encroachments into the front setback was reasonable and was a good design
solution. However, there also appeared to be a consensus of the Planning Commission that the portion
of the garage encroachment into the north side yard could be eliminated by redesigning the garage.
Currently, the garage is built to the north property line, and the garage for the property to the north is
also constructed to the property line. The Planning Commission noted an opportunity to open a view
corridor between the Glabman property and the property to the north by requiring the Glabman garage
to be set back. This setback, coupled with a potential increased setback when the neighbor redevelops or
remodels, could realize this goal.
The Planning Commission had questioned the existing setback non-conformities and how they came
about. Staff has looked into the history of the property and found that the residence was remodeled in
1984, The garage non-conformities were allowed to continue as the rather extensive remodel of the
structure avoided removing the non-conforming aspects of the garage walls. Staff believes that the
original residence was constructed in the 1920's, and no plans or record of the setbacks are on file. Staff
concludes that the existing setbacks are legal, non-conforming subject to the provisions of Chapter
20.62 (Nonconforming Structures and Uses). The proposed encroachments within the front and side
.yard may be approved with a Modification Permit.
The applicant has redesigned the garage, which has resulted in a 2-foot, 10-inch north side yard for the
garage where the Zoning Code requires a 4-foot side yard for new construction. Therefore, this redesign
would still require the approval of a Modification request. The interior dimensions of the garage on the
previous plans were 22 feet, 4 inches wide and 19 feet, 6 inches deep. The revised plans have interior
clear dimensions of 19' - 5" wide and 21' - 6" deep. This dimension was selected by the applicant to
accommodate the vehicles they presently drive while providing space to open vehicle doors.
Staff notes that the Zoning Code requires a minimum interior garage dimension of 17 feet, 6 inches in
width and 18 feet in depth. 1f the revised plan for the garage were to be decreased in width by 1 ft. 2 in.
(resulting in an interior garage width of 18 ft. 3 in. —nine inches wider than required by Code), the full
4-foot side yard could be attained. However, the applicant contends that further reduction in garage
width would severely restrict maneuvering ability within the garage with two parked cars.
In redesigning the garage, the applicant has chosen to extend the front wall an additional 2 feet closer to
Pacific Drive, which results in a small portion (approximately 3-square feet) of the southerly corner of
the proposed garage further encroaching into the front yard setback. The resultant setback for that
corner of the garage is now proposed to be 10.5 feet from the front property line—previous plans had
the setback at 12.5 feet. The applicant has stated that the reason for the extension is to compensate for
the 2-foot 11-inch reduction in garage width, to permit storage space within the garage and to allow
maneuvering area around parked cars.
Written correspondence was received since the June 2151 public hearing. from Mr. and Mrs. Yingling,
2308 Pacific Drive. Mr. and Mrs. Yingling had previously submitted a letter expressing opposition to
the request. The Yinglings' subsequent letter notes that they had mistaken the property for another
location and they are actually in favor of the Glabman request.

• Recommendation
Staff believes that the garage redesign is an improvement over the previous design as it relates to
providing a future public view between the properties. Staff also believes that the full 4-foot setback can
be achieved by further reducing the interior width_of the garage while meeting minimum standards.
Staff does not believe that the increased encroachment of the garage within the front yard setback is
significant. Staff concludes this based upon the fact that the encroachment is single story, is small in
area and that the greater setback area proposed for the side yard will offset the minor encroachment into
the front yard. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Variance No. 2001-
002 and Modification No. 2001--060 by adopting the findings and conditions of approval contained in
Exhibit No. 1. The Planning Commission has the option to permit the variance and modification
request, but with the condition that the garage be further modified to maintain a four-foot side yard
and/or the 12.5-foot front yard. The Planning Commission also has the option to deny the project by
making the findings attached as Exhibit No, 2.

Findings for Denial
Variance No. 2001-002 and
Modification No. 2001-060
1. That the granting of a variance to allow portions of the addition to exceed the permitted height
limit is not warranted by special circumstances or for the preservation and enjoyment of
substantial property rights of the applicant and would be considered a grant of special privilege
because:
a) The property owner could design an addition that does not extend above the maximum
permitted building height.
b) Other homes in the neighborhood with similar topography and lot configuration have been
able to construct new dwellings or remodel existing dwellings within the allowable height
limit.
c) The proposed encroachment above the permitted height limits would present a significant
impact to views by the general public from Pacific Drive and would be visible from
surrounding properties.
2. That the granting of modifications to allow encroachments into the front and side yards is not
warranted, could be detrimental to the health, safety, peach, comfort and general welfare of
persons residing in the neighborhood, and could detrimental or injurious to property and
improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the City, and is not consistent
with the legislative intent of this code for the following reasons:
a) The modifications result in an increase in an existing non-conforming development
and continue the non-conformity.
b Modificationsa r ed o nt of the dwelling unit
and can be viewed b the

public and surrounding property p gp P Y owners.
C) In abandoning a portion of the Pacific Drive right-of-way, it was the intent of the City
to maintain a minimum five-foot setback from the new.property line along the west
side of the street.
d) Other properties in the neighborhood which have similar topographic and lot
configurations have been able to design structures which maintain the minimum front
yard setback and four-foot setback from the side property lines.

Re: Variance for 2315 Pacific Drive
To Whom It May Concern:
Last week my husband and I wrote a letter to the planning commission opposing the
possible increase variance to 2315 Pacific Drive. We would like to rescind that letter at
this time.
While vacationing in France, our daughter told us of the planning commission
meeting, and we automatically assumed that it was for the property at 2231 Pacific
Drive. It is a property diagonal to ours in the opposite direction from the Glabman's.
Construction of the garage area was beginning when we left on vacation.
We were greatly distressed to find in our mail when we returned home today that the
public notice was for the Glabman's property.
We have no objection whatsoever to the variance, and wish the Glabmans every
happiness in their new home.
We sincerely apologize to the Glabmans for the upset this must have caused them, and
to the members of the Planning Commission for mistakenly infringing upon their
valuable time.

take a I k at what the rent limits should be for the lower income categories that
we shout be serving and the average rents for the various size units and
therefore ho afar we could get with our in-lieu fund of 2.5 million. We can also
talk to the HCD°1taff about this as we work with them on the review of the draft.

Chairperson Selich added j to give us an idea if we endowed 2.5 million
dollars, how many units could subsidize with that? He then asked staff when
this would be coming back for re w.
Ms. Wood answered that it would be t least 45 days because that is the period
of time HCD has to review the draft. It ends on what their comments are and
how many revisions we need to make.
Commissioner Gifford asked to also look at if flex the range for in-lieu fees to

modification request to permit encroachments of a garage into the front and
side yard setbacks (5 feet into the required 17.5-foot front yard setback and 4
feet into the required 4-foot side yard setback along the northerly property line).
Senior Planner Jim Campbell presented three pieces of correspondence
received that day. He then gave an overview of the staff report noting the
following during a slide presentation:
• Addition is approximately 1,385 square feet.
• Existing project is and will remain three levels.
• Addition is comprised of a garage reconfiguration, a front porch
addition, a laundry room addition to the upper level and a master
bedroom addition to the rear of the home with an open deck.
• The addition at the back of the home would exceed the 24-foot height
limitation.
• Main level deck is to be expanded._
• Basement excavation will increase the floor area of the lower level.
• The entire roof will be reconstructed.
• Upper level deck extension exceeds the height limit.
• Encroachments into the height limit are not particularly visible from
Pacific Drive because the existing house blocks these areas.
• There is a 5-foot encroachment of the corner of the garage as well as a
5-foot encroachment of a portion of the front yard setback.
• Side yard setback area is at zero.
• Angled garage with two doors to be reconfigured into a two-door
garage opening facing off Pacific Drive.
• Locations of caissons to be used for support.
Commissioner McDaniel clarified that if the lot next door at 2319 was built out
to where it could be, the side view would be eliminated. Staff concurred.
Commissioner Kiser asked if any of the increased portions of the roof would be
visible from Pacific Drive; will they be higher with the multiple design changes in
the roof?
Mr. Campbell answered that basically the entire roof of the structure will need
to be removed and the new roof will run perpendicular to the street. The peaks
of the roof will be approximately 2 feet higher than existing but would comply
with the 24-foot height limitation. The new master bedroom addition roof ridge
will run parallel to the bluff, but the reconstructed roof over the front portion of
the house will run perpendicular to the street. The posted exhibit on the wall
shows the renderings.
Chairperson Selich noted that the project is not going any lower down the
bluffs other than the caissons for support.
Mr. Campbell answered that two of the caissons are within the existing
developed area and three of the caissons will be down the slope of the existing

footing that is there now. The house is not substantially going further down the
hill than it is now. Staff believes that it is consistent with the General Plan policy
to minimize alterations of coastal bluffs.
Continuing, Chairperson Selich asked about the history of the existing two
garages adjacent to each other with zero setbacks, when they were done and
how it has been handled over the years. I assume that the zero setback was
allowed a long time ago and that the recent remodel let it continue as such.
Ms. Temple answered that we could go back to research this information, but
unless the remodel was in the area of the non-conformity, the Code does not
require it to be made conforming unless there is actual alterations in that area.
My suspicion is that the subsequent remodel that probably happened, simply
avoided that area in order to maintain the existing non-conformity. I do not
know that for a fact. We can get the information if this item is continued.
Chairperson Selich then asked how we ended up with 12 feet of right-of-way
that was vacated and there is 10 feet in other areas, isn't the right-of-way line
parallel to the sidewalk?
Ms. Temple noted that when the abandonment and associated zone changes
to Pacific Drive were done after the more precise surveying and engineering,
the actual amount of right-of-way abandonment for each lot did vary a range
of approximately 3 to 4 feet depending on which lot as the street is curved.
Commissioner Gifford noted that she did not have a submission letter from the
applicant justifying the required findings for the variance in her packet.
understand it has been submitted and I would like to have an opportunity to
review that.
Staff answered that it was inadvertently left off the attachment list and
presented it for review.
Public comment was opened.
Tom Burger, Irvine Ave, Santa Ana Heights, architect for the project noted the
following:
• House was last remodeled in the '80's.
• House has a small upper floor with small bedrooms, with no master suite.
• Deck is set three feet below the main level and blocks the view out of
the lower level.
• Roof of the living room projects upwards and blocks the view out of the
small upper floor bedrooms.
• The applicant is aware of the concern of bluff development so the
proposal preserves the bluffs.
• A deck at each level is proposed that will provide the only outdoor
space on this property,which is vertical cliff at the back of the house.
• The living area of the house is actually 4,524 square feet.

• Applicants have met with neighbors to review the design and have
received letters of support from some of them.
• The lot has 5 feet of fall from the front to the center and then about 40
feet to Bayside Drive.
• The combined topography and irregular shape clearly distinguishes this
lot from others in the vicinity in the same zoning. We feel this creates a
hardship.
• The objective is to keep the remodel within the existing footprint to
preserve the bluff and actually preserve as much of the house as we
can.
• Modifications in the front are due to the angular relationship of the
property line relative to the street.
• We are taking away the zero setback (approximately 10 feet) and
replacing it with a corner that would touch at one point. The majority
of the existing encroachment in the front would be moved back behind
where the garage is now.
• The encroachment will be reduced as well as the presence of the
house on Pacific Drive.
• A small covered porch in the front is to be added and will extend
towards the garage, it will remain open and not enclose any floor area.
• The height variances occur in the back half of the lot where the grade
drops down steeply.
• Some of the new addition will be positioned toward Pacific Drive and is
within the setback and the height limit.
• The decks will extend beyond the current footprint in the back of the
house and will be supported by the new caissons.
• The highest point of the variance is at the glass railing of the upper level
deck.
• The roof is sloped to lend a craftsman style architecture.
• We feel this is a unique situation created by the combination of the
trapezoidal shape of the lot, the shallow depth and the 45 feet drop off
that occurs at an angle to the building site.
Commissioner Tucker noted a letter received stating that the new roof would
block a large portion of the harbor view from his home and would detract from
the property value. What kind of impact do you have on his view?
Mr. Burger answered that he has not seen the view from his home. He noted
that both the new home and existing home have horizontal ridges that are
perpendicular to the view. Maybe that view is the small corridor between this
home and the one next door. We could do a different root design and make it
higher, it would still be within the height limit.
Commissioner Gifford asked if any exterior remodel had happened since 1984.
She was answered that the applicants bought the home a year ago and to the
best of knowledge, it does not appear to have been remodeled.
At Commission inquiry, Mr. Burger noted:
13

Planning Commission Minutes
June 21, 2001 INDEX
• All of the neighbors had been invited to view the proposed plans by
the applicants.
• The garage will continue to sit on the property line.
• No mitigation is proposed.
Chairperson Selich, referring to the floor plan, noted that it seems you could
slide the garage over 4 feet and adhere to the setbacks and do some
reconfiguration of the entry, powder room, elevator shaft and storage room
behind the dining room and still have functionally the some house. What is
your reaction to that?
Mr. Burger agreed that on paper it would be easy to do. In the context of
trying to keep as many of the existing walls where they are to minimize the
amount of demolition that is required to get into this construction project, that
would become very difficult to shift the garage wall. What we plan on doing is
.removing the roof and the upper floor down to the floor level. Once that
garage is moved, which is a load-bearing wall for the upper floor, you can't
really keep those floor joists either. Once you get into that, it starts to escalate
into a much larger reconstruction job.
Chairperson Selich asked why a piece of steel could not be placed across to
support the upper levels? The only major structural impediment is that load-
bearing wall along the left side of the garage. The rest of it in terms of the
entry becomes more a function of design as opposed to construction costs.
Mr. Burger answered there are many ways, move the foundation, put a piece
Y
f o steel in, etc. The applicants enjoy want an adequate house to en' with a
PP g J Y
spacious garage. Shifting the garage over is all within the realm of possibility.
Barbara Corbett, 2316 Pacific Drive noted she is opposed to the height
variance part of the application. She stated that the current house is
extremely huge from the street. Mr. Burger was invited to come to her home,
which he did, to see what the impact of the height difference would be. Her
neighbor, Betty at 2312 Pacific Drive gave a letter, which she then read. The
letter noted that the house is high due to a remodel 15 years ago. By leaving
one garage wall standing from the original small house, a wall shared by the
garage at 2305, their remodel was approved and is the tall structure seen
today. The remodel changed the appearance of the bluff and decreased
property values on our side of Pacific Drive due to the loss of view. If the height
of the house remains the some, I will not object to the variance. In closing, she
noted that the letters of support have come from the homeowners on the bluff
side of the street, those on the other side all object. She asked that the
applicant re-design the project.
At Commission inquiry, Ms. Corbett stated she realizes that the house could be
built higher on the street side and have more of an impact, without a
variance. However, it would be "un-neighborly" and she would find it
offensive.

Steven Nash, 2319 Pacific Drive noted his support of the application. He noted
that he also intends to remodel his project in the future.
Bill Edwards, at 3334 East Coast Highway, assistant architect for the project
noted the following:
• The applicants have an opportunity to build 5 five feet higher than is
currently designed.
• The potential shift in the garage; re-location would be an extremely
dramatic change in the existing design and place the front entry going
into the dining room.
• The expansion of the living space includes no expansion down the
slope.
• No impacts to neighbors across the street.
• This is a fine compliment to the trend of improving existing properties on
Pacific Drive.
Jim Glabman, 2315 Pacific Drive stated that he has shown the plans to his
neighbors. The topography and shape of the lot causes severe problems. To
build in the upper level would require us to go beyond the height limits. If the
garage were moved, it would eliminate the entryway into our home, as the
house is narrow at that side. One thing impacts another and would ruin the
front of the house. Our main purpose is to park two cars in the garage, which
can't be done now. Several of the neighbors have expressed their support for
our project, including neighbors on the other side of the street. The new house
will be attractive and will have an elevator accessing on all three floors.
Public comment was closed.
Chairperson Selich noted his concern of the project is the continuation of the
zero setback situations on the garage. It is something we would not permit
today.
Ms. Temple stated that modifications have been approved to allow re-
construction of old garages that have encroached to the point of zero
setbacks. Usually it had to do with the size or shape of the lot, or access
difficulties. Oftentimes it occurs on the Balboa Peninsula on the "T" alleys
where it is difficult to get in and out on a 10-foot alley. By leaving the garage in
its existing position, it helped to solve some of those problems; we have
approved modifications to retain old non-conformities.
Chairperson Selich noted that the house next door is probably going to be torn
down or at least substantially modified at some point in time as it is an older
structure. At that time, there would be an opportunity to bring these two yard
setbacks into conformity. I guess I disagree with the statements that were
made by the architects on the effects of moving the garage. There is always a
design solution and ways to do angle entries and reconfigure the elevator shaft
and storage area behind the dining room. 1 am not convinced it is a design
15

impossibility so I guess it is a matter of whether we think enough is gained by
moving the garage over and maintaining setbacks in the normal manner to
have them do a redesign on that portion of the project. Other than that, I
thought the project was reasonably designed. The one thing I have been
concerned about is the bluff alteration aspect and this is one of those
examples of looking at the profile of the lot, if they elected to tear the house
down and start over, they could do a lot of bluff alteration and not have to
come in for any kind of variance at all. They could do something substantially
more massive and detrimental than what is being proposed. I think the project
is positive from that standpoint. As for as the view blockage, I don't see where
it will block any more than what is permitted under the existing height
regulations. It appears to be 5-6 feet below the maximum, the only oblique
area is next to the neighbor next door and he stated he is planning on
remodeling.
Commissioner McDaniel, noting that he had visited the site, stated the
proposed changes fix a lot of problems that exist on the property. The proposal
enhances the ability for the applicant to use the property and the minimal
changes saves the bluff and minimizes encroachment into the height. The
applicant has been thoughtful in his re-design. I can't see where the changes
would impact the views. I am pleased with the design and the application at
this paint.
Commissioner Kiser noted his agreement with the previous statements. He
added that as pointed out in the staff report, there is as much encroachment
being removed on existing structures as there is being created by the new
proposal. Concerning bluff preservation, if we were to force the roof down
another two feet and the applicant re-designed, they could choose to come
considerably further down the bluff and create a home that would not be a
benefit to anyone's view, public or private. The only problem I have is the zero
setback on the one side. As difficult as it might be to re-design, I am sure that
things could be done with some creative solutions. I would have a real
problem approving a zero setback on a garage when recognizing it looks
terrible.The redesign could potentially open up a small view corridor or sense of
a view between the homes at least when the home next door is re-designed as
well. I am in support of the application, but steps should be taken to recapture
that side yard setback.
Commissioner Agajonian noted his support of the application with the removal
of the zero side yard setback.
Commissioner Tucker noted he questions if there was going to be any view
blockage. The applicant is not building completely to the max of what the
Zoning Code allows. It merits a variance because the property falls off a cliff.
As far as the garage setback, we don't usually get involved with the
modification issues. I am not terribly troubled by this situation as it is replacing
an existing situation and making a better design solution overall. I wonder how
many feet of setback off the property line would we be talking about; is it
16
City of Newport Beach

complete compliance? We need to give some guidance as to what we are
looking for. 1 would support the variance based upon the plans that were
drawn.
Commissioner Gifford noted her support of the application as the analysis of the
trade-offs is fair. I think however, that we have a property that has been non-
conforming and that status is granted in the recognition that as a property
ages, that non-conforming feature will eventually be eliminated. Given the
nature of the neighborhood and the possibility of alternative design solutions,
the side yard setback should be brought back into conformance for the whole
length of the property. We do see a lot of modifications, but not necessarily in
conjunction with additional modifications and variances. I am in favor of
having the side yard setback conform.
Chairperson Selich re-opened the public comment and asked the applicant if
he would be willing to go for a continuance on this matter and study a re-
design of the garage element.
Mr. Berger asked if it is possible to approve the height variance separate from
the modification: He was told that it is a total package. Continuing, he stated
he could meet with the owners to discuss options and come back at a later
date.
Chairperson Selich noted he would like to see the 4-foot setback. We would
like to see the best effort on it. It may be it can't be designed that way, I don't
know. It is not our job to do the design work; it is your job to present us the
designs.

Introduction
The subject site is located on the bluff side of Pacific Drive and is zoned R-1. Applicant
proposes a substantial remodel to an existing single family residence. The existing dwelling
consists of 3,934 square feet (gross floor area) on three levels. Applicant proposes to extend the
upper level, excavate the lower level, extend the main level deck, add decks on the lower and
upper levels, and reconfigure the existing garage. The request results in a gross floor area
increase to 5,292 square feet(4,829 living area and 463 garage). -

Proiect Description
ti
The applicant proposes to expand the upper level by extending a portion of the front elevation
towards Pacific Drive by up to 16.75 feet, extending the rear elevation toward Bayside Drive by
18.4 feet, and by adding a new deck that will extend beyond the rear of the upper level by an
additional 8 feet. The main level will remain within the existing exterior walls (with the exception
of revisions to the garage as discussed below), but the deck will be raised to floor level and
extended 6.5 feet. The lower level will not be extended beyond the existing wall; the lower level
floor area will be expanded by excavation into the subterranean level under the main floor. A new
8-foot deck will be added to the lower level. The new main level and lower level decks will be
supported by five new caissons and columns, with the existing angled deck supports being
removed.
The request is complicated by a number of items: (1) The existing structure is existing non-
conforming in that portions of the dwelling extend to the front and north property lines; (2) The lot
is steeply sloping and has frontages on both Pacific Drive and Bayside Drive; (3) The westerly side
of Pacific Drive was recently vacated, resulting in different front setbacks for properties along the
that portion of the street. In addition, the proposed plans include several rooflines and
configurations that vary in height,and a variety of wall plates along the rear portion of the structure.
For the purposes of clarity,the variance and modification requests are discussed separately.
Analysis
General Plan
The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the site for "Single Family Detached"
uses. A single-family residence is a permitted use within this designation.
Coastal Bluff Development
Policy D of the Land Use Element of the General Plan states:
"The siting of new buildings and structures shall be controlled and regulated to insure,
to the extent practical, the preservation of public views, the preservation of unique
natural resources, and to minimize the alteration of natural land forms along bluffs and
Cliffs. "
Applicant proposes to construct the addition within the existing footprint on the bluff(west) side
of the site, and to add five caissons to support the new main and lower level decks. Two of these
new caissons are proposed within the existing developed area. Three of the caissons will be
located approximately 2 to 3 feet down-slope from existing disturbed areas. The project will not

VA 2001-002/MD 2001-060

Page 3
modify the existing landform and will not encroach significantly onto the bluff area. Therefore,
the project is consistent with the foregoing General Plan Policy as it relates to alteration of
coastal bluffs. The issue of preservation of public views is addressed below.
Height Variance
The site is a bluff top residential property that fronts Pacific Drive and is a through-lot to Bayside
Drive. The lot slopes gradually for the front 85 feet, with the rear 34-foot portion of the lot
steeply sloping towards Bayside Drive.
Zoning Code permits building heights of up to 24 feet, and in the case of a sloped roof,the height is
measured at a mid-point of the roof plane; however, no part of the roof may extend five feet above
the building height limit. Therefore, the maximum permitted height of the roof structure is 29 feet
above natural grade.
The existing dwelling is within the height limitations of the R-1 Zone: the roof line, as exists, is
approximately 23 above natural grade at the front of the house, 23 feet at the rear of the house, 27
feet at the maximum roof elevation, and is well within the 29-foot maximum roof height limit. In
order to accommodate the new upper level expansion, a completely new roof will be constructed
and will consist of a number of roof elements and ridges. The net result will be to increase the
height of the roof to 25 feet above grade in the front,resulting in the roof being two feet higher than
the current 23-foot roof height, but below the 29-foot maximum roof height and 24-foot average
height limit
The lot slopes from front to rear, and the expansion will result in the height limits being exceeded
towards the rear of the property. As noted above, there are a number of roof and wall elements,
resulting in the height of the new roof varying at different points. Staff measured the structure at a
number of points at the top of wall plate,roof mid-point, top of roof and at the top of the railings on
the new main level and upper level decks. In summary, heights of the walls and roof ranged from
approximately 2 feet to 7 feet over the 24-foot height limit. In addition, the second level deck will
extend above the maximum height limit by 5 feet on the south elevation, and by 11.4 feet on the
north elevation. The decks are proposed to have glass railings with wood caps.
The proposed addition, including increase in roof height, will not affect views from the properties
on the east side of Pacific Drive. Even though the front elevation roof height is proposed to be
raised by two feet, the majority of the upper floor addition and roof height increase occurs at the
rear of the property. The residence directly across Pacific Drive from the subject property is single
story and cannot view the bay through the existing residence. Photographs were taken from the
roof of that dwelling, and it demonstrates that the views will not be impacted even if that structure
were increased to two-story.
Staff notes that the proposed increase in floor area, height and decks along the rear of the house
could impact public views, particularly to any person standing on the sidewalk at the southeast
property corner. However, staff also notes that the views at that point are enhanced due to the fact
VA 2001-002/MD 2001-060
June 21,2001
Page 4
that the adjacent residence to the south of the subject property is constructed approximately 15 feet
from properly line. The structure is of an age and condition that the possibility exists for that
property to be remodeled or for a new structure to be built. if built to the four-foot setback line, any
structure on the adjacent south parcel would likely restrict views from the street.
The garage of the property to the north of the subject parcel is constructed to property line;
therefore, the proposed addition in the rear of the property will not be visible and will not block
views from that location.
The residences to the north and south will be able to view the addition at a peripheral angle, but
views from those properties will not be significantly obstructed due to the location of the upper
level addition. The residence to the south is single story and the view of the harbor and ocean to the
north and west would not be blocked, as the upper level addition would occur above typical view
angles. The residence to the north is two story and setback further from the slope edge, and
therefore the view obstruction is a greater issue. The portion of the private view toward the
Carnation bluff from the upper level of the home may be obstructed. L ��� �
Applicant's licant' justification is included as an attachment to this staff report. He notes constraints `
1
relative to the steep slope along the rear 34 feet of the property; the trapezoidal shape of the lot,
which results in a lot width of approximately 46 feet; and design of the existing structure,
particularly the central stairwell and low ceilings on the lower level, which limit ability to design
within the existing building envelope.
Required Findings for Variance Approval
Section 20.91.035(B) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code provides that in order to grant any
variance, the Planning Commission must find that the applicant has established the following
grounds for a variance:
1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size,
shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of this code
deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and
under identical zoning classification.
2. That the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of substantial property rights of the applicant.
3. That the granting of the application is consistent with the purposes of this code and
will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on
other properties in the vicinity and in the same zoning district.
4. That the granting of such application will not, under the circumstances of the
particular case, materially affect adversely the health or safety of persons residing or
working in the neighborhood of the property of the applicant and will not under the
VA 2001-002IMD 2001-060
June 21,2001

• •
circumstances of the particular case be materially detrimental to the public welfare
or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood.
Granting the variance could be viewed as the granting of a special privilege to this property owner
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity and the same zoning district. A
height variance(Variance No. 1133) was conditionally granted in 1986 for the property located two
parcels to the north of the subject parcel(2301 Pacific Drive). However,the Planning Commission,
in granting the variance, required substantial design modifications in order to bring the structure
into closer conformity with the zoning code, and also required the applicant to consult with
surrounding property owners in revising the plans. The applicant in that case originally requested a
height variance to allow up to 16 feet over the maximum limit. By redesigning the structure, and
by lowering the back portion of the structure so that it would step down the hillside, the final
variance was to allow the residence to exceed the height limit by one foot at one comer. Staff does
note, however, that the residence at 2301 Pacific Drive was a new structure, which presented less
design constraints than does a remodel of an existing structure.
Consideration of this project as compared to a Variance application involving the remodel of an
existing residence could result in a different conclusion in regards to the granting of a special
privilege. In the project at 2215 Pacific Drive (Variance 1228), the Planning Commission approved
exceeding the height limit by almost 18 feet, allowing a similar extension main and top floor living
areas. Therefore, in staff s opinion,the fact that the project involves a remodel can be used to weigh
the issue of granting a special privilege.
The subject property is located on a bluff and, therefore, is somewhat constrained relative to ability
to design while staying within the building height envelope. The property drops-off dramatically at
the rear of the existing structure. Also, as noted by the architect, there are constraints relative to the
location of the interior stairwell, which make it difficult to design an enlarged master bedroom suite
on the upper level without exceeding the 24-foot height limit. Allowing any extension of the upper
level creates an issue with the 24-foot height limit as the present home was designed to take
advantage of the entire height envelope. The roof of the main level presently impinges the view
from the upper floor. A secondary goal of the applicant is to improve the view from this level
through the proposed addition that is an amenity of other properties. Nevertheless, the property is
similar to surrounding properties in size and topography, and the possibility remains to design a
floor plan which results in many of the amenities requested by the applicant without exceeding the
height standards to the extent requested, although it may require a more extensive remodel than I
proposed. One alternative is to reconstruct the entire property, which could result in additional
modification to the bluff. Project approval avoids this potential issue to the greatest extent.
Setback Modification
The residential structure is existing non-conforming with respect to front and side setbacks in that it
is currently Iocated within the front 5-foot setback and a portion of the garage extends to the north
property line. A related issue is the vacation of right-of-way along the west side of Pacific Drive. In
June of 2000, the City Council took action to abandon a portion of the right-of-way along Pacific
VA 2001-002/MU 2001-060
June 21,2001
Page 6
Drive. The area abandoned varied from property to property, but for the subject property, the
abandoned portion was 12.5 feet in width. Recognizing the need to maintain a uniform setback,
however, the Zoning Code was amended to require that the setbacks for those properties be
maintained at five feet from the old property line. Therefore, the setback for the subject property is
17.5 feet from the new front property line along Pacific Drive.
The existing garage is irregularly shaped and designed with two separate doors with the door walls
staggered and at different angles (the garage door nearest Pacific Drive is angled, while the other
door is parallel to the street). A portion of the north wall of the garage is constructed to the north
property line. The garage on the adjacent parcel to the north is also constructed to the property line,
resulting in the garages of both properties abutting each other. Applicant proposes to square off the
two-car garage, which will result in removal of approximately 92 square feet of non-conforming
area in the northerly front portion of the garage, but will increase the non-conforming portions
along the southerly front portion and will extend the side yard encroachment a distance of 8.5 feet
along the north property line. The new encroachment areas will total approximately 65 square feet.
In addition, a covered front porch is proposed which will add 32 square feet of encroachment into
the front setback. The net result is nearly equal amounts of non-conforming encroachment being
removed and new encroachment areas proposed.
The encroachment modification would result in a better designed garage and would not
substantially increase the amount of non-conformity since nearly equal amounts of area are being
removed as are being replaced within the setback areas. Also, the portion of the garage being
extended into the side yard is located behind the existing building wall and the adjacent property
garage is constructed to the property line, so that that portion of the new addition will not be visible
from the street. That portion of the garage expansion will be viewed from the property to the north.
However, a portion of the new garage area will be located behind the existing shed and garage of
the northerly property which is constructed to the property line. The five feet of wall that will be
exposed to view to the north property will not obstruct views from that property, and therefore, will
not be a significant impact on that property.
Environmental Review
It has been determined that the project is categorically exempt under Class 1 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Minor Alteration to Existing Structures less than 2,500 square feet or
less than 50%of floor area).
Recommendations
Based on the analysis contained in this report, staff believes the request for the height variance can
be approved based upon the topography and physical constraints of the existing residence, although
the amount of the request could be considered excessive. Alternative designs reducing the overall
height variance might be considered. With respect to the setback modification, staff believes the
encroachment is reasonable and results in a better design, which reduces building massing abutting

this application:
Option 1 — Approve the variance and modification, in which case the findings and
conditions of approval set forth in the attached Exhibit No. 1 are suggested;
Option 2 — Direct the applicant to redesign, and if they are not willing to consider a
redesign,take option 3;
Option 3 —Deny both the variance and modification, in which case the findings set forth in
Exhibit No. 2 are suggested.

`t
Exhibit No. I
Findings and Conditions of Approval for
Variance No, 2001-002 and
Modification No.2001-060
Findings:
1. That the proposed development is consistent with the General Plan since a single-family
dwelling is a permitted use within the Single-Family Residential designation.
2. That this project has been reviewed, and it qualifies for a categorical exemption pursuant to
the California Environmental Quality Act under Class I (Minor Alteration to Existing
Structures less than 2,500 square feet or less than 50%of the floor area).
3. That the design of the proposed improvements will not conflict with any easements
acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed
development since no other public easements exist on the site.
4. That the granting of the variance to allow portions of the addition to exceed the permitted
height limit is warranted in that there are special circumstances applicable to the property; is
necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights of the applicant;
is consistent with the purposes of this code; and will not be materially detrimental to the
surrounding neighborhood for the following reasons:
a) The unique topography of the site restricts the ability to comply with the height
limitations,the applicant has designed an addition to the house that attempts to work
within the constraints of the lot to the degree possible and the applicant is unable to
design an addition comparable to other homes in the neighborhood without
exceeding the height limit.
b) The code provides the flexibility in application of land use and development
regulations by way of permitting variance applications, and the variance procedure
is intended to resolve practical and unnecessary physical hardships resulting from
the unique topography and lot configurations that exist in the area and on this lot.
c) The shape and size of the lot constrains the ability to design a structure in that the lot
is trapezoidal in shape resulting in a lot width at mid point of approximately 46 feet.
d) The proposed addition is generally comparable to the size and bulk of other
buildings in the surrounding neighborhood and strict application of height
requirements could result in an addition that is either too small or confined to permit
the additions to be of a size and to contain the amenities to be feasible or desirable
for the owner.
e) The proposed addition is generally in conformance with the surround neighborhood
when viewed from Pacific Drive, and has a similar appearance of surrounding
properties when viewed from Bayside Drive.
VA 2001-002/MD 2001-060
June 21,2001
Page 9
f) The code provides the flexibility in application of land use and development -
regulations by way of permitting variance applications, and the City has granted
other similar requests in the area to exceed the permitted height due to sloped
conditions existing on lots with similar topography.
g) Were the project to use the full height available for pitched roofs, the elevation
could be four feet higher at the front elevation as viewed from Pacific Drive.
h) Although some view area will be impaired with the proposed additions, the existing
views from surrounding properties will not be significantly restricted.
i) The building design and materials are an upgrade of the existing property and will
blend with the style and materials used in other remodels and new construction in
the area.
5. That the modification to the Zoning Code as proposed would be consistent with the
legislative intent of Title 20 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code; is a logical use of the
property that would be precluded by strict application of the zoning requirements for this
District; will not be detrimental to persons, property or improvements in the
neighborhood or increase any detrimental effect of the existing use; and is a reasonable
design solution for the lot for the following reasons:
a) The property is existing non-conforming and the proposed modification does not
substantially increase the degree on non-conformity.
b) The proposed modification results in a project that is consistent with the
development within the vicinity.
c) The modification results in a better design of the garage and adds an open porch
to the front of the dwelling, which is consistent with the architectural style.
d) The modification will not result in construction that will block views of the public
or from surrounding properties in that they are located at the front of the structure
and to the side behind an existing side yard encroachment.
e) The proposed modification will not affect the flow of air or light to adjoining
properties because it is located at the front of the structure and to the side behind
an existing side yard encroachment.
Conditions:
1. That development shall be in substantial conformance with the approved site plan, floor
plan and elevations dated March 16, 2001 except as noted below.
2. That two independently accessible parking spaces shall be provided on site for the parking
of vehicles only, and shall be available to serve the residential unit at all times.
3. That all public improvements are constructed as required by Ordinance and the Public
Works Department.
VA 2001-O02/MD 2001-060
June 21,2001
Page 10
4. That an encroachment permit be processed through the Public Works Department for all
` work within the public right-of-way and that an encroachment agreement be executed for all
non-standard and decorative improvements to be constructed within the Pacific Drive right-
of-way and any easements.
S. That disruption caused by construction work along roadways and by movement of
construction vehicles shall be minimized by proper use of traffic control equipment and
flagmen. Traffic control and transportation of equipment and materials shall be conducted
in accordance with state and local requirements.
6. That all mechanical equipment and trash areas shall be screened from public streets and
adjoining properties.
7. That this variance and modification shall expire unless exercised within 24 months from the
date of approval as specified in Section 20.80.090A of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.

Exhibit No. 2
Findings for Denial "
Variance No.2001-002 and
Modification No. 2001-060
1. That the granting of a variance to allow portions of the addition to exceed the permitted
height limit is not warranted by special circumstances or for the preservation and enjoyment
of substantial property rights of the applicant and would be considered a grant of special
privilege because:
a) The property owner could design an addition that does not extend above the
maximum permitted building height.
b) Other homes in the neighborhood with similar topography and lot configuration
have been able to construct new dwellings or remodel existing dwellings within the
allowable height limit.
c) The proposed encroachment above the permitted height limits would present a
significant impact to views by the general public from Pacific Drive and would be
visible from surrounding properties.
2. That the granting of modifications to allow encroachments into the front and side yards is
not warranted, could be detrimental to the health, safety, peach, comfort and general
welfare of persons residing in the neighborhood, and could detrimental or injurious to
property and improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the City, and is
not consistent with the legislative intent of this code for the following reasons:
a) The modifications result in an increase in an existing non-conforming
development and continue the non-conformity.
b) Modifications are proposed for the front of the dwelling unit and can be viewed
by the public and surrounding property owners.
a) In abandoning a portion of the Pacific Drive right-of-way, it was the intent of the
City to maintain a minimum five-foot setback from the new property line along
the west side of the street.
d) Other properties in the neighborhood which have similar topographic and lot
configurations have been able to design structures which maintain the minimum
front yard setback and four-foot setback from the side property lines

Re: Variance for 2315 Pacific Drive
To Whom It May Concern:
Last week my husband and I wrote a letter to the planning commission opposing the
possible increase variance to 2315 Pacific Drive. We would like to rescind that letter at
this time.
While vacationing in France, our daughter told us of the planning commission
meeting, and we automatically assumed that it was for the property at 2231 Pacific
Drive. It is a property diagonal to ours in the opposite direction from the Glabman's.
Construction of the garage area was beginning when we left on vacation.
We were greatly distressed to find in our mail when we returned home today that the
public notice was for the Glabman's property.
We have no objection whatsoever to the variance, and wish the Glabmans every
happiness in their new home.
We sincerely apologize to the Glabmans for the upset this must have caused them, and
to the members of the Planning Commission for mistakenly infringing upon their
valuable time.

REF:Regular Meeting,June 21,2001
Dear W.Chairman&Commissioners:
This letter is written in support of the proposed variance to property located at 2315 Pacific Drive.
I have reviewed the design plans in much detail and I believe the Glabman's consulting architect,
Mr. Tom Burger has done a superb job in addressing their program needs,and the existing
deficiencies in the house,while keeping the massing changes to a relative minimum,devoting
much of the new building area on the lower level not visible to the exterior,keeping the height within
two(2)feet of the existing height at the front,and making this older home much more livable by
current standards,and more comparable to the improvements in the neighborhood as a whole.
The resultant change would have minimal impact to the overall look of the bluff above Bayside
Drive, moreover would have less visual impact than many existing homes,which have built down
the slope to varying degrees. I feel the application is very much in keeping with the currant move to
je theCoastal bluffs.ou fo{fir y^/o/ur time and favorable determination to the Glabman's application.
Sincerely yours,

Re: Planning Commission Meeting to Increase Variance for 2315 Pacific
Drive
To Whom It May Concern:
My wife and I are homeowners and currently reside at 2308 Pacific Drive.
Our home stands diagonally across the street from 2315 Pacific Drive. We
are vehementiv opposed to increasing the variance at 2315 Pacific Drive.
The new roof on this home blocks a large portion of our harbor view and
inevitably detracts from our property value. The property already has the
benefit of being built on the bluffs with views from every floor without
further need to increase the roof height.
My wife and I are out of the country until Sunday, June 24 or we would have
both been at tonight's meeting to express our dissatisfaction. Please accept
this letter as proof of our disapproval of any variance that would allow the
newly reconstructed roof on 2315 Pacific Drive to remain at its current,
increased height.

Dear Planning Council,
Since I have lived in Corona Del Mar for a number of years,I have had the
opportunity to continue to try to keep Corona Del Mar a pleasant place to reside.
However,The Planning Commission and The City Council have increased the traffic
flow and increased the buildable square footage to change the atmosphere of the
community. I am opposed to allowing this variance for the Crlubmans.
While living in Corona Del Mar, we have showed almost unanimous support of
the neighbors not allowing specific vanauces. Unfortunately,the neighbors' voices have
not been heard by
The City Council or The Plowing Commission. Because of these
variances, my neighbors were able to overbuild their home on Pacific Drive. The other
neighbors were almost unanimously opposed to those variances;however,The City
Council and The Planning.Commission allowed the variances.
Please stop the vartances and keep our open space-

Dear Sirs and Madams.
Having lived on Pacific Dr. since I was two (I'm now 44), 1 have to
object to any height limit variances.
The 2300 block of Pacific Dr. is the Only street in Newport Beach where
there are no restricted height lmits on the bluff side of the street. So now
there Is a consideration to go even higher and closer to the street! when is
this going to stop? The City Council talcs about not setting precedence, well,
what Is this?
Corona del Mar is losing its charm rapidly, because of the the city letting
houses go up and out and dawn for the benefit of One household.
Please consider not approving this variance.

Dear Genia;
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me and Bill Edwards
this morning. You are probably not used to working with two
architects on one project. Bill had approached the Glabmans after I
began working with them and offered to share his experience in -
processing variances and has contributed some valuable
suggestions. -
Notwithstanding the considerable challenges, I appreciate your
openness to considering some positive aspects of our request. I an _
enclosing business.card since Iforgot to give you one at our
meeting. Please feel free to call to discuss any suggestion you may
have or if you need additional information at any time during the
process.

2315 PACIFIC DRIVE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION: ARCHITECTURE
20331 1RV rve Ave..
The existing home was originally built in the 9920's? and remodeled in SUITE 7
1984 and consists of 3,360 sq.ft. of living area on three levels. The SAe,A ArvA Heierv,e
bedrooms are on the upper level, the living areas and garage are on GoeoRPUA 92707
the main level and the lower level is a bonus room with a low ceiling 714-360-0700
The owners would like to renovate the house to meet modern living FA, 71A-850-077e
standards while retaining its charm and minimizing the impact of the 1rodea,3®U.L,,.
construction on the adjacent homes and the bluff.
There are two main aspects to this proposed remodel: A modification to the
front setback to create a usable garage and covered porch and an
expansion of the upper floor within the existing building footprint.
The existing garage which is built to the front and side property lines was not
used by the previous owner due to the narrow door openings and irregular
shape. We would like to remove a large portion of the existing front yard
encroachment and create a smaller encroachment in a different location to
return the garage to a square shape. We would like ad an unenclosed porch
to the front of the house which would require a modification for two columns
and a portion of the roof. '
The existing upper floor contains two small bedrooms and two baths in 909
sq.ft. and lacks a master suite. The Glabmans would like to enlarge the
upper floor to contain a master suite, a home office and a guest room for
visiting grandchildren. A small portion of the proposed 945 sq. ft. expansion
of the upper floor will occur toward Pacific Dr. entirely within the setbacks
and considerably below the height limit. The rear portion would occur within
the existing building footprint and setbacks, but due to the steep slope,
would encroach into the height limit as it slopes down following the grade
None of the addition would encroach into the bluff beyond the existing
concrete wall at the base of the structure and all of it will be 4 ft. below the
maximum height allowed at the street. 'The addition will add 1,164 sq.ft, of living space. The new total living area will
be 4,524 sq.ft. Total gross area including the garage and 300 sq.ft. of new
storage area reclaimed from the existing crawl-space would be 5,292 sq ft ,
160 sq.ft. less than allowed.
Glabman 3/12/2001
f.'What exceptional circumstances apply to the property, including size, shape,.
topography, location or surroundings? The property is a trapezoidal shape ona
promontory overlooking the bay. The lot is one of the shortest lots on Pacific Drive. The •
rear portion of the lot drops off at very steep slope and is not suitable for building. The
angle of the front property line relative to the side property lines further reduces the
useful depth of the property. ARCHITECTURE
2. Why is a variance necessary:to preserve property rights? Extreme conditions of the 20331 IRVINE AVE.
. .southerly slope cause:a significant hardship in creating a livable solution to this existing $Eq 7
home within the current .guidelines. The subject property CCALIFORNIARNIq 9$707. has a unique topography BANW NP 2O]
GHTS
which is substantially different from the other lots on the entire upland side of Pacific Dr.
The combined effect of the trapezoidal lot shape, . shallow lot depth, height and 714-850-0700
steepness of the bluff and the steep decent of the height limit as it follows the grade, rAE 714-850-0772
impose severe restrictions unique to this property. To be severely restricted by height ffeureer3@aoi.com
on the upper level, would otherwise necessitate the expansion of the lower levels toward
the rear setback line which could adversely impact the remainder of the undeveloped -
lower slope areas as well as the peripheral views of adjacent bluffside neighbors. The
proposed expansion of the upper level of the existing home minimizes the impact to.
adjacent neighbors on the bluff as well as the opposite side of the street.
Much new construction and significant remodels have occurred within the last 5 years and are still in
progress on Pacific Dr. The current age and design of the existing home is somewhat sub-standard
in relation-to the neighbors in the immediate area Significant improvements to the property.a in
keeping with the overall.direction of the neighborhood..
s
The outward expansion of the existing upper level is the most prudent solution to serious
deficiencies in space planning (including being bisected by the stairwell, having no master suite as .
well as a limited view which is eclipsed by the roof of the great room on the main level) allowingthe
-
preservation of themajority of the existing structure and occurring entirely within the footprint of
existing construction on theblufffop. The improvements are of minimal impact to the site:and will be -
consistent or of smaller scale than other homes on the bluff.The properties on the upland side of the street are typically between two and three times as deep on
flat lots which easily allow full development in conformance with zoning requirements. The height of
the existing residence of one of the nearby neighbors at 2227 Pacific Dr. is in excess of 50 ft. above
the finished grade at the slope. Another residence at 2301 Pacific.was approved with a variance to -
allow 32 ft. above grade at the steepest part of the slope, substantially similar to our proposal. .
3. Why will the proposal not be detrimental to the neighborhood? Although there are many bluff
top homes with significantly greater height and visual mass than what we are asking for, we are not
looking at these precedents as justification, rather as an example of the need to approach this
project with greater sensitivity. The proposed remodel is an expansion tothe-upper floor of an
already three level home which will not cause significant increase in building. height or mass as
viewed from Pacific Dr. or the bay. The improvements to the home will be sensitive and harmonious
to the neighborhood, architecturally correct, aesthetically pleasing, constructed of high quality
natural materials, and will add significant value to the neighborhood. The majority of the new floor
area will not be visible from the street. Most of the adjacent neighbors who have been made aware
of the proposed changes and have visited the house to review the-plans have .expressed no
objections based on view encroachment. By contrast, a new home designed entirely within the
zoning requirements without discretionary approvals would be allowed higher roof line at street
and couldposition the lower levels further toward the bay, creating a potentially more, significant
impact to the streetscape and the bluff.

Oranee Count Cali ilrnia.
Dear Mr. Bacon:
Based upon the verbal request of your real estate agent, Patricia Davenport of Prudential California
Realty,the property at 2315 Pacific Drive, was visited by the undersigned on August 14.2000 .for
the purposeof conducting a geotechnical related site inspection of the single family residence and site
improvements. Following our inspection,the results were reviewed with your real estate agent at the
property.
Prior to our inspection, it was mentioned that there was a general concern for a foundation crack
observed on the southeasterly side of the house and for the hillside nature of the property in general.
No other concerns were mentioned prior to our inspection of the property that were geologic in
nature.
The age of the original house, before the 1984 remodel, was given as about 50 years. The house is
shown in black and white photographs dated 1927 to 1930. The,plans for the remodel, dated 1987
and drawn by I Herbert Brownell, AIA.were available for our review. The soil report by Westland
Associates was not available for our review and may be held at the City of Newport Beach. HGl was
not authorized any additional time to research records at the City.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of our visit to the property was as follows:
a) Observe existing conditions on the outside of the house.
b) Observe existing conditions on the inside of the house.
0 Observe for patterns of drywall,stucco,masonry.foundation.or concrete cracking that might '
_ be indicative or ongoing distress due to adverse soil or geologic conditions. '
d) Observe drainage conditions that might relate to soil or geologic performance of the property..

e) Observe surface ground conditions around and adjacent to the residence.
f) Review the findings with .our real estate agent.
g) Prepare a report of the findings and recommendations regarding observed conditions.
Prior to beginning our inspection of the property, we indicated that the property inspection would
seek to determine if there was any observable distress to the property that might be related to:
o Differential settlement of soils.
o Expansive soils.
o Slope instabilitv. slope creep, or landslidhri. -
o Adverse grotnd water conditions.
o Soil erosion.
You were also informed that our site inspection would.only be capable of observing conditions visible
at the time and that subsurface ground conditions underiving the propertv could not be determined
without a full scale-eotechnical subsurface investigation that might incur costs of several thousands
of dollars.
In addition, a floor level survey (manometer survey) was not within the scope of our inspection
services. A floor level study would usually be recommended if there is a sense that the house tloorin-
was out of normal.level or tilted. A floor level survey can be accomplished. but at an extra cost if
requested.
For the purposes of this property evaluation, HGI was not authorized to try and retrieve any
documents related to soil aspects of the property at the City. This could be accomplished, but for
additional fees not included in the services for this inspection and report.
1.1 Property Description and Conditions
The subject property is located on the coastal bluff side of Pacific Drive as shown on the attached Site
Location Map and consists of a southwesterly down sloping property and a t6-level residence with
a wood sided exterior(see picture on the cover oi'this report) and a concrete slab-on-grade in the
lower master suite and raised floor above in the second and third levels. The house is basically
oriented facing northeasterly toward the street with the back of the house. facing southwesterly
toward Newport Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. The neighboring properties to the left(as one faces
the propertv from the sheet) and right of the house are at.about the same elevation as the subject
property, also with a southwesterly descending rear sloping condition_
The smalf front yard consists of a low rock faced wall across the !eft front of the property and a
concrete driveway to the right side of the house leading to the two garages. Inside the front wall,
.there are planter areas fronting the yard, an entry concrete walkway and a large concrete patio with

brick ribbons. A concrete walkway covers the entire southeasterly(left) sidevard,with.steps leading
house. There is a narrow ice plant covered northwest sideyard with a
downhill to th
e rear of the
wood fence along this northwesterly properly boundary.. :Across the back of the house, there is a
narrow dirt area between the rear ofthe house and the old concrete and concrete block retaining wall
that varies between 3 to 7 feet in height. Below the retaining wall, the 70 foot high, steep coastal'
60 de ees o stee ness .
varies om about 26 degrees in some a Sr f P
bluff( fr gr upper areas to as steep as�0 ry
in other areas. The slope.is planted with drought tolerant shrubs and some varying ground covers,
or is barren, exposing the soil and some of the geologic bedrock of Monterey Formation.
Surface drainage in the front yard is generally away from the house toward the street. Alone the
right sideyard, surface flow is downslope and over the rear retaining wall onto the descending slope: ..
TWe is no area drain system. Along the left side of the house, surface flow is down the steps and
over the rear retaining wall onto the descending slope. Roof guttering has been taken back toward
the front of the house into tight lined downspout connections and runoff is discharged into the gutter
fronting the property.
1.0 SUMMARY FINDINGS AND GENERAL CONCLUSIONS
In general, the residence did not display any signs of foundation or slab distress on the interior or
floors. The interior concrete slab-on-grade in the lower rear portion of the house,felt generally level
and there was no walkover detection of any preferred tilt that would suggest adverse heave, slope
movement,or settling. The isolated and scattered hairline wall cracks are considered normal for this
type and age of construction and are most likely related to lumber shrinkage and cu.:ng after the
remodel and earthquake_shaking from the recent past 1992 Landers, 1994 Northridge, and 1999
_ Hector Mine earthquakes. The one foundation crack observed along the southeasterly side of the
house is discussed below. The rear descending slope does not expose any recent massive. slope
failures,-but is subject to sur6cial soil failures during heavy rains, The house foundations appear to
be founded in the natural bedrock and marine terrace deposits that underlie the property
Additional factors of importance, and possibly needing some attention at the property, include the
followings
a) Easterly Foundation Crack: Although there is a foundation crack in the easterly foundation csee
Phom So: 1)it appears that it related to a condition where a newer concrete pour has been placed
over the constructed joint between the east-nest foundation and tire north-south foundation. The
crack may be related either to the curing and shrinkage of the ncoerconcrete pour, or it could be,
earthquake relatedbecause of the unusualjunetion of the se,ertl foundation elementsat this location.
Based upon other exterior foundation,retaining pull.and other under house foundation conditions
obseroed. there was no evidence of am•on-going foundation movement or slope related distress.
There were no pull uparts or separations along the rear foundation or W,,ccn the rear right comer
of the house and the retaining Null at this location. The crack mar also be related to the adjustment
of the new cast west foundation wall to its soil cm ironment that lead to the crack_ The crock is

widest at Its bottom where the foundation elements join with no crack continuing to the top of the
foundatioh stem wall. This crack is not viewed as compromising the integrity of the foundation
system for the house or as indicating any current distress.
b) Sewer Pipe Distress?and Leak Potential:The sewer pipe forthe property extends out of the iower
foundation at the rear of the house. exposes a ribber coupling ime.Photo Va..3). goes back
underground,and is observed coning out the bottom of the lover retaining wall footing<iee Iluva

suggests that the pipe may have broken in the past and been repaired with this cpupling;this n'pe'.
of rubber coupling is not resistant to ultraviolet sunligiv and ivill rat and fail without noucei.
Nonetheless,the coupling has slipped%cinch as illustrated in Photo No.3.indicating that movement
of the retaining wail and soil behind it may bejeopardizing the stabilim of the sewer pipe. Any leak
of this pipe would be detrimental to slope stability. The sewer pipe would also be subject to damage
or separations during an earthquake.
c) Lower Exterior Retaining Wall Distress and Undermining:Behind the house. the older poured
' in-place retaining wall is cracking at its easterly end and nearing.failure. A portion of the footing
has separated from beneath the wall and them is large gap with no support for the wall(see Photo No. 4). The wall is also badly cracked at this location and displays some lateral displacement than '
indicates movement. This portion of the will is probably not seismicaly' stable and could be
adversety affected by the surface rinoff water that is concentrated in the planter. Water flowing
around the link edge of the wall and beneath the wall.or through the soils on the uphill side of the
wall. not have lead to undermining that has affected the will. The distress is also at the location
when the sewer line passes through the wall foundation and the sewer line may be under stress.
Leakage of the line would further endanger slope stability. the wall, and the sewer line. Further.
because of the age and vintage of construction, the old retaining wall probably does not have
sufficient foundation embedment into the geologic accirock to prevent failure during a local _
earthquake
d) Geologic Slope Stability: The slope below the llUese is o\'ciall about a+5 degree slope and there is
loose soil and weathered geologic bedrock that is subject to surlicial slope failures(the ower course
offeer of(he slope race). In addition.the surliclal stability during a strong to moderate earthquake
is probably questionable,but to what extent is unknown. On dry trasis of historical performance,the -
1971 and 2000 photographs(Pholos l and:) seem in indicate no major apparent changes in the
slope. And our review of1927-10?0's photos mailable from Mr. Bacon also seem to indicate that
the slope has performed satisfactorily over the,cars. This slope was also shaken by the 193u Long
Beach earthquake and the more recent significant 199'_ Landers, t993 Northridge.and 1999 Hector Mine earthquakes. It should be noted howcyer- e the aitochcdAennarl Beach Quadrangle S'u+sunc

property as having the potential for seismically induced slope failures. In their words.they state the -

Our field geologic mapping of exposures at the rear house foundation.'and along the bottom of the
slope at Bayside Drive.suggests that the geologic layering ahedpropertyding)beneath theis inclined
about 27 degrees into the slope.a condition which is generally considered favorable to long term and
-
gross geologic stability in the area. The Hazard Map user needs to understand that the CDMG
mapping is intended as guideline mapping and it does not provide a level of detail. or research
sufficient to check all slopes or past gemechnical or geologic investigations in an arcs. The trapping'
is based upon steepness of slopes and the general propensin,of the geologic formation known to
underlie the area. The mapping is generalized and not intended for assessing the actual hazard on
an individual piece ofpropert. Presently,the slope appears stable,but water and seismic factors that
are unpredictable could adversely affect the slope in the future. The plantings on the slope provide
some strengthening of the suficial stability'.but do not enhance gross.or deeper seated stability.
e) Broken Lower Step at Easterly Concrete Steps:The lower step has separated from the boron of
the concrete stairway along the left side of the house. Our obseryations indicate that water pouring
over the lower step has eroded soil from beneath the lower separated step and soft soil placed when
• the contractor did his work may have resulted in some settling of the soil beneath the loner step.
f) Surface Runoff Control Along the Two Sides of the House: There are no collection devices on
either side of the house to prevent rainfall runoff from flowing directly mer the rear retainine all
and musing erosion.or unnecessary soaking of the sensitive suficial soils on the descending slope.
This could lead to suficial slope failures in the future. Presently.surface water flowing down!be
steps on the left side of the house. is undermining part of the old retaining w:dl and could lead 10
unnecessary saturation of soil behind the v%a11
g) Raised Floor Supporting Piers and.Seismic Stability:The vertical axa wooden piers beneath the
raised floor area of the main house have been set on concrete lrapet.hoidal blocks.but the piers arc:
nailed to a block of wood beneath the piers and nailed to the tour beams and there am no cross
members to reinforce the piers against sidewise earthquake motions. The floor support piers might
fail during a local earthquake and seismic retrofitting should be evaluated by a specialty contractor.
2.1 THE HOUSE FOUNDATION where it is not obscured from view by concrete walkwars.
patioslabs,or landscaping, displayedno vertical cracks other than the one on the easterl'v
side of the house described above thatwouldsuggest anrJoundation distress. Thehouse
foundation system appears to be performing as intended and it appears that it.is probably -
mostly founder! in the geologic bedrock. or Duaternan terrace deposits native in the
property.
2.2 DOORS in the house are all operable and we did not obsen•e any doorframe distortions
that would suggest slab orfoundation distress. Further. the dill not observe amp evidence
of any major repairs that would suggest distress..
?3 The INTERIOR FLOOR LEVELS felt,from our walkv,er, to be normal throughout
There was no felt preferred tilt direction of the house shah that would saggest settlink
heaving, or slope movement.
SLABCRACKING indicative of possible distress was not indicated in the floorings or by.
our walkover of the carpeted areas in the Inver master suite at.the rear of the house.
2.4 The GARAGE SLAB displgvs some hairline to 1132-inch cracks which may be related to
concrete curing or slight expansive soil conditions. but there was no cracking indicative
of concrete distress that was considered unusual
2.3 The CONCRETE DRIVEWAY, FRONT WALKWAY, FRONT PORCH, AND
EASTERLY WALKWA Y appeared to be in good condition with some scattered hairline
splits normal for this type of construction. There were no separations or widened cracks
that would suggest any geologic or soil related distress.
• The black pipe beneath one of the lower steps on the left side of the house is believed it)
be the subdrain outlet fir the buried drain that is installed behind the new retaining wall
typefoundation that crosses beneath the house and thatforms the north side ofthe muster
suite. there was no moisture coming from the pipe and would likely not be because of
its location relative to the exterior.improvements and landscape conditions.
2.6 SURFACE DRAINAGE; The potential adversity due to uncollected runoff along file two
sides of the house is discussed above. Otherwise, the surf itce flow mvgv from the front of
the house toward the street and diversion of the roof eave gutters toward the front'
indicates good control of surface runoff.
2.7 CUT/FILL CONDITIONS:Artificial man-made fill is likeh• behind the hover retaining
wall and is known to be located beneath fire muster suite concrete slab-on-grade: We did
not observe any adverse conditions at the site related to fill.settlement.

miles northeast of the ACTIVE NEWPORT-INGLEWOOD FAULT ZONE , both of
which are capable of earthquakes afMagnitudes greater than.6.0. 77ie site is also situated
within about 50 miles distance to several other active faults in southern California, all of
which can generate strong earthquake ground shaking at the property. The properly..in
general, is located within the seismicalhv active environment of southern California and
the homeowner must expect that the property will be subjected to strong to moderate
earthquake ground shaking during the life of the structure. As it result, the home and
property improvements will experience cracking from time to time that may need repair.
According to recent work by the California Divisionof.11ines and U.S. Geological Survey,
and by the analysis from Home Risk (from EQE-JCP), the 41ax: Moment Magnitude
earthquake for the Whinier/Elsinore or Rose CanyomNewport-Inglewood fcuult could be
315 PAUFN DR
M=7.0 and Mercalli Intensity ground shaking would be expected at a level of V)II to IY
(see attached HomeRisk evaluation and afodifted Mercalli Intensity Scale).
3.0 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1 Drainage Considerations: Some means of collecting the sidevard runoff before it impacts
the descending slope at the rear retaining wall is advisable to prevent slope instability in the
future. A low brick or masonry wall would be built along the top of the existing retaining
wall to prevent overflow onto the slope and a collection system could be installed which
might require installation of a disposal pipe down the slope. Consideration of a drainage
- collection remedy should include consultation with the City.
3.2 Raised Floor Supports: A contractor knowledgeable in seismic retrofitting should be
consulted regarding the suitability of the 4x4 piers that support the raised floor portions of
the house. Brackets may be needed and anchoring of the bottom of the piers to their
foundation element may also be necessary.
3.3 Potential. Sewer Line Break and Rear Retaining Wail: Some means of re-routing the
sewer line appears necessary to preclude any break because of the movements of the old
retaining wall. In addition, the pipe passing through the old wall does not provide a
seismically stable environment for the pipe. A knowledgeable plumbing contractor, familiar
with bluff conditions and installation of pipes on steep descending slopes is necessary to
achieve a proper solution.
The retaining wall should be evaluated by a structural engineer and there may be a need to
remove it(if it falls durhrp it heavi.rain, or a seismic even. it would present a pnhlic hazard
t n e
to Bayside m Drive below rd could lead to.it jury or death qi.+�omet ue o the road) or rebuild
it to provide future stability. It may also be.possible to demonstrate that the house does not
rely on the wall. for foundation support, and removal of the wall may be feasible without
building a new wall. Evaluation of this situation would require a ream of the geotechnical
consultant and a structural engineer, with a subsurface investigation to determine the
foundation materials that support the rear of the house and their depth of embedment. The
house is probably no supported on deep caissons.
3.4 East Side Foundation Crack: Even though the crack appear related to the junction of
several ages and pours of foundation elements, it would be advisable to mark a spot across
the r t a ure that location several times a year to determine the an do m es if the crack is stable.
It would be particularly.important to check the crack after a wet winter or a seismic event.
3.5 Future Property Improvements: If the property owner expects to add otherimprovements
.el. A>UF1( DRi E. Uhl,\: Jr_ A,R
to the yard, or add any other st:actures, the owner should consider obtaining the help of a
qualified geotechnical professional to make recommendations for the design of yard
improvements to mitigate any possible adverse conditions due to expansive soils, settlement
prone fill soils, or adverse geologic conditions.
3.6 Photographic Documentation of Interior and Exterior Cracking: The new homeowner
may want to photograph specific locations inside and outside the house with a oiler in the
picture and with labels(using stickier) to document the present condition for future sale of
the property. Once or twice ayear,selected crack locations could be checked for any growth
or changes.in the width or length of the cracks. This is important for hillside properties and
aids in future sale of the property.
1.7 Earthquake Safety: The property buyer may need to become educated on the matter of
earthquake safety that involves interior house improvements and placement of book shelves
and high, top heavy, furniture. High centered furniture that could topple during a strong
earthquake should be bolted to the walls to prevent injury. See the attached Home Sgte
Home literature from the Southern California Earthquake Center. -
There are other aspects of food storage, water storage, and cooking and transportation and
communication needs which could be important following a major earthquake.
Earthquake preparedness is the responsibility of all southern Californians and information is
available from the County of Orange,the City,the California Division of Mines and Geolo«v.
the California Seismic Safety Commission,and from local bookstores and authors. Numerous
resources are available from the World Wide Web (imecnet): /iOm the anierican Red Cross

4.0 PROFESSIONAL LIMITATIONS. -
The inspection of this property has been conducted in a manner consistent t ith professional practices in the area and
no other warranbcs are expressed or implied. The inspection has also considered information regarding the proper

inside and out. The history of the properly. and the history of any rewire or changes made in the structure.
foundations.or the slabs, is unknown to HGI and could mask certain aspects of the property that might generally lead
to a final determination regarding slab tilt, wall cracking.or other indicated distress features of the property.
Our inspection has also relied on the fact that floorings have not been recemly repaired or new surfaces installed.and
that walls and ceilings have not been recently patched. repainted. or covered to mask cracking conditions at the
property which would be material to our evaluation of the performance of the propem-. The u,net s of the propem
would be responsible for disclosing unv recent work accomplished on the imcnor or emenor of the building that would
change our assumptions based upon crack locations or panems.
Our opinions regarding thetnature of cracking at the prooem'and its significance has been based upon the usually
accepted construction standards for interior gall board cracking. floor slab cracking. exterior flanvork cracking.
exterior stucco cracking. masonry cracking,and our direct experience with distressed real estate in general
It was not within the scope of this inspection to review soil.geologic,or construction documents which might beheld
by the Citv. That could be accomplished, but only on a time and.materials basis in accordance with our current
schedule of fees.
It was also not within the scope of this inspection to conduct a manometer(floor level) survey for the purpose of
documenting the floor level differential inside the house. This would also be an additional senior that might be _
requested if the actual floor differential was of concern to the buyer. - -
A more thorough geotechnical investigation of the property by placement of borings or trenches,soil sampling_and
laboratory testing would be necessan•to comment further on any future expectations for cracking due to the examsiye.

several thousands to tens ofthomands ofdollars and such investigations have not been discussed or considered for this
real estate escrow assessment Such investgations are usually.only.recommended if there is known foundation or
interior slab distress and repairs are being contemplated.
Changed conditions may also occur as the result of local earthquake ground shaking in the future and thew types of
events are not predictable given the standard of technical information which is currently.available. Property changes
are also possible due to irrigation. landscape.and drainage improvements or maintenance,parlicularh interior and

The inclusion of the HomeRisk evaluation by EQEJCP is not warrantied by HGI and the conclusions and
recommendations provided by the attached document are considered informational only for the benefit of the owner
and buyer. HomeRisk can provide further risk analyses and building analyses if desired
As soil or geologic related distress to a property is most likely to occur within the time from construction to about W
years following construction. the buyer must understand that this house, at about 15—y.can of age ,<sirrer the 1984

or affects from the wenkened retaining wall Woo the rear of the house). -Some small increments of soil moepment
are always possible.but that is not predictable given the level of this inspection. Inherent geologic weaknesses may
not meal themselves within any given or estimated period of time and can only be prediacd with completion of
geotechnical and geologic studies of the property that are beyond the scope of this real estate distress assessment.
This report is being provided for the exclusive use of kvlr. Smith Bacon and his real estate broker and is not intended
for use in any other future real estate transactions other than the current sale that is being considered. Should the
property remain unsold for a period of 90 days from the time this inspection yr as conducted another review, may be
necessary for any transactions that occur beyond this period. Property conditions could change or repairs could be
made which would not be addressed in this report _
At such time as this property should aavally be sold to a subsequent owner.it will be the responsibilin,of those parties
to again retain geotechnical experts for the purpose of inspecting conditions pm%alenl at the time of that transaction.
Our inspection of the propert also assumes no responsibility for detailing the nature of any other soil or geologic

The Modified Mercalli Intensity(NM)Scale ranks the strength of earthquake shaking by its effects on people and
buildings.Unlike earthquake"magnitude",which is a measure of total energy released at the source of the earthquake.
the intensive is a measure of shaking strength at different locations in the region where a quake is felt.Developed in
Italy nearly a century ago. this 12-hovel "shaking scale" has since been modified and amended for use in modern US
communities.One change is that the highest inensity levels(.1'. 11 and.V/)--originally defined by spectacular
damage to building foundations. underground pipelines. etc..--are now recognized as the effects of shifting ground
caused by surface faulting,slope failure or soil liquefaction. rather than by increasing levels of shaking.
Today.the nine levels of shaking intensity•commonly used include the effects described below.Of course,you should
note that the damage and sensations listed for each intensity le%cl generally include the entire range of effects
