PROJECT SUMMARY
A request to update an existing comprehensive sign program for a recently remodeled
building occupied by two automotive dealerships. Included in the request is a modification
permit to allow an increase in overall sign area. If approved, this Comprehensive Sign
Program and Modification Permit would supersede Comprehensive Sign Program No.
CS2007-012 (PA2007-231) and Staff Approval No. SA2012-005 (PA2012-002).
The purpose of a comprehensive sign program is to integrate all of a project’s signs. A
comprehensive sign program provides a means for the flexible application of sign
regulations for projects that require multiple signs in order to provide incentive and latitude
in the design and display of signs, and to achieve, not circumvent, the purpose of Newport
Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Chapter 20.42.
The proposed program requires the following deviations from NBMC Chapter 20.42:
Comprehensive Sign Program
1. The installation of three wall signs on the primary frontage, where the Zoning
Code only allows one wall sign for each tenant;
2. The installation of wall signs outside the middle 50 percent of tenant frontages;
3. Proposed logo height of 3 feet, 6 inches on the Land Rover wall sign (Sign 2)
located on the primary frontage, where the Zoning Code allows for a maximum
sign logo height of 3 feet (16.66 percent increase);

4. Proposed number of four freestanding signs on one site, where the Zoning Code
allows a maximum of one freestanding sign per site ;
5. Proposed height of one monument sign at 7 feet, 3 inches (Sign 6), where the
Zoning Code allows for a maximum monument sign height of 6 feet;
6. Proposed setbacks for freestanding signage near a driveway of 5 feet (Sign 4); 1
foot, six inches (Sign 6); and 2 feet (Sign 7), where the Zoning Code requires a
10-foot setback from driveways; and
7. Proposed addition of a customer promise sign type, where the Zoning Code
allows custom signage through a comprehensive sign program.
Modification Permit
1. Proposed sign area of 117 square feet for the Jaguar wall sign (Sign 1) and 148
square feet for the Land Rover wall sign (Sign 2), both located on the primary
frontage facing Jamboree Road. The Zoning Code allows a maximum of 75
square feet for wall signs located on the primary frontage (an increase of 56
percent for Sign 1 and 97.33 percent for Sign 2);
RECOMMENDATION
1) Conduct a public hearing;
2) Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15311 under Class 11 (Accessory Structures) of the CEQA
Guidelines, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the
environment; and
3) Adopt Draft Zoning Administrator Resolution No. _ approving CS2019-007 and
MD2019-004 (Attachment No. ZA 1).

DISCUSSION
The subject property measures approximately 93,130 square feet in area and is
located on Jamboree Road, immediately abutting the Newport Beach Police
Department. The site is zoned Land Rover (PC 20) and consists of automotive
dealers.
A comprehensive sign program is required whenever three or more nonexempt
signs are proposed. The Zoning Administrator is the review authority for a
comprehensive sign program. He or she shall not approve an increase in sign
height by more than 20 percent above that allowed or an increase in sign area by
more than 30 percent above that allowed. Increases above the maximum limits,
such as those proposed by the applicant, may be allowed with the approval of a
modification permit.
The Jaguar and Land Rover wall signs, located on the primary frontage of 1540
Jamboree Road, have a maximum proposed logo height of 3 feet, 6 inches and
sign area of up to 148 square feet. The proposed signs are intended to provide
legible signage to pedestrians and motorists traveling east on Jamboree Road and
additionally provide advance notice for maneuverability for those traveling west .
The logos are in scale with the 165-foot façade on which they are located and
complement the lettering of the wall sign.
Given the width of the building façade at 165 feet and the height of the building at
approximately 26 feet, 6 inches, staff believes the proposed number of signs, area,
and height are compatible with the overall massing and bulk of the building.
Due to the width of the façade and the several operators on site for 1540 Jamboree
Road, the location of wall signs within the middle 50 percent of the tenant frontage
is not practical.
The addition of the customer promise sign (Sign 4 , a custom sign type) helps the
automotive dealers convey the merits of their certified pre-owned program. The
sign is compatible with others proposed in this request - including size, height,
materials, and location - and will serve to strengthen brand value.
If approved, this Comprehensive Sign Program and Modification Permit would
supersede Comprehensive Sign Program No. CS2007-012 (PA2007-231) and Staff
Approval No. SA2012-005 (PA2012-002).

SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
Comprehensive Sign Program
Pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section 20.42.120 (Comprehensive Sign
Program), the comprehensive sign program allows for an increase in sign height by twenty (20)
percent above that allowed and an increase in sign area by thirty (30) percent above that
allowed. The program shall comply with the standards of the Zoning Code, except that
deviations are allowed with regard to sign area, total number, location, and/or height of signs.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.42.120, the following findings and facts in support of
such findings are set forth:
Finding:
A. The proposed sign program shall comply with the purpose and intent of this Chapter
[Chapter 20.42], any adopted sign design guidelines and the overall purpose and intent of
this Section [Section 20.42.120].
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed Comprehensive Sign Program complies with the purpose and intent of
NBMC Chapter 20.42 (Sign Standards) because it provides the automotive dealership
with adequate identification while guarding against an excessive sign proliferation. The
Comprehensive Sign Program preserves and enhances community appearance by
regulating the type, size, location, quantity, and illumination of signs.
2. The proposed wall, monument, and pylon signage are necessary to adequately identify
the branding for the several automotive dealership s and navigate on-site traffic
circulation.
3. The addition of the customer promise sign (Sign 4) helps the automotive dealers convey
the merits of their certified pre-owned program. The sign is compatible with others
proposed in this request - including size, height, materials, and location - and will serve
to strengthen brand value.
Finding:
B. The proposed signs shall enhance the overall development, be in harmony with, and relate
visually to other signs included in the Comprehensive Sign Program, to the structures and/or
developments they identify, and to surrounding development when applicable.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The number and location of signs will not contribute to an overabundance of signage
that will have a detrimental effect on the neighborhood. The proposed number of signs
on 1540 Jamboree Road will enhance the development by providing adequate
identification to motorists travelling on Jamboree Road.
8
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2019-###
Page 4 of 10
01-25-19
2. All proposed signage will utilize metallic tones and will be in harmony with the character
and architectural style of the subject building. The size and location of the signage is
also complementary to the bulk and scale of the site.
Finding:
C. The sign program shall address all signs, including permanent, temporary, and exempt
signs.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The sign program includes all project signage. Any future temporary and exempt signs
not specifically addressed in the program shall be regulated by the provisions of Chapter
20.42.
Finding:
D. The sign program shall accommodate future revisions that may be required because of
changes in use or tenants.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Comprehensive Sign Program has been developed to be effective for commercial
uses and allow flexibility for future changes in tenants.
2. It is not anticipated that future revisions to the Comprehensive Sign Program will be
necessary to accommodate changes in tenants or uses. However, the Community
Development Director may approve minor revisions to the Comprehensive Sign
Program if the intent of the original approval is not affected.
Finding:
E. The program shall comply with the standards of this Chapter, except that deviation are
allowed with regard to sign area, total number, location, and/or height of signs to the extent
that the Comprehensive Sign Program will enhance the overall development and will more
fully accomplish the purposes and intent of this Chapter.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Comprehensive Sign Program allows for deviations with regards to the type,
number, and location of wall signs. The app roval conforms to the intent of NBMC
Chapter 20.42, and enhances the overall development by integrating the project’s signs
to be appropriately located and scaled.
2. The proposed Comprehensive Sign Program is consistent with NBMC Chapter 20.42,
and is being processed concurrently with a Modification Permit consistent with Section
9
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2019-###
Page 5 of 10
01-25-19
20.52.050 to allow the logo size and sign area to be larger than the standard Zoning
Code limitations in order to increase the visibility of the signs.
3. The deviation from the standard that signs shall be located within the middle fifty (50)
percent of the building or tenant frontage is appropriate due to the proposed number of
signs on a large façade. The standard requirement would force the signs too close in
proximity to each other, creating cluttered signage that would be detrimental to the
overall appearance of the development.
Finding:
F. The Approval of a Comprehensive Sign Program shall not authorize the use of signs
prohibited by this Chapter [Chapter 20.42].
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The Comprehensive Sign Program does not authorize the use of prohibited signs.
Finding:
G. Review and approval of a Comprehensive Sign Program shall not consider the signs’
proposed message content.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The content of the signs was not considered and the proposed Comprehensive Sign
Program does not contain any regulations regarding sign message content.
Modification Permit
Pursuant to NBMC Section 20.42.110, deviations in sign height greater than twenty (20)
percent and sign area greater than thirty (30) percent are subject to the approval of a
modification permit. In accordance with NBMC Section 20.52.050 (Modification Permits), the
following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Finding:
H. The requested modification will be compatible with existing development in the
neighborhood.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The subject property is located in the Land Rover (PC 20) Zoning District and abuts the
Newport Beach Police Department to the south. The increase in logo height and sign
area is compatible with the existing development in the neighborhood because there are
several other commercial uses located along Jamboree Road that employ the use of
10
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2019-###
Page 6 of 10
01-25-19
similar signage and logos for identification purposes, such as the nearby gas station
signage and monument signs.
2. The building façade of 1540 Jamboree Road measures approximately 165 feet in width
on the primary frontage. Given the width of the building façade and the height of the
building at approximately 26 feet, 6 inches, the increased logo height and area of the
wall signs and increased height of the monument signs are compatible with the overall
massing and bulk of the building.
Finding:
I. The granting of the modification is necessary due to the unique physical characteristic(s) of
the property and/or structure, and/or characteristics of the use.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed wall signs for the primary frontage of 1540 Jamboree Road serve as the
main identification for motorists travelling east and west on Jamboree Road. The Police
Station located on 870 Jamboree Road and a gas station at 1550 Jamboree Road
obstruct the visibility of the dealership. Jamboree Road, moreover, is designated as a
Major Roadway (six lane divided) by the Public Works Department and has a speed limit
of 55 miles per hour. Considering the site’s location and orientation on Jamboree Road,
an increase in logo height and area for the logo signs are necessary to assist motorists
in identifying the dealership during heavy vehicular traffic.
2. The building façade of 1540 Jamboree measures approximately 165 feet in width on the
primary frontage. Given the width of the building facade and the height of the building at
approximately 26 feet, 6 inches, the increased height and area of the wall signs are
compatible within the overall massing and bulk of the building.
Finding:
J. The granting of the modification is necessary due to practical difficulties associate with the
property and that the strict application of the Zoning Code results in physical hardships that
are inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The purpose and intent of the sign regulations is to provide users adequate identification
while preserving and enhancing the community’s appearance by regulating the type,
size, location, quality, design, character, scale, color, illumination, and maintenance of
signs. The sign regulations also encourage the design of signs to be complementary to
the buildings and uses to which they relate and are harmonious with their surroundings.
2. The proposed increase in the maximum logo height and area does not interfere with the
purpose and intent of the Zoning Code as it provides for adequate identification of the
site while guarding against the excessive and confusing proliferation of signs. The
11
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2019-###
Page 7 of 10
01-25-19
proposed increase addresses the practical difficulty of reduced visibility for motorists
traveling in heavy vehicular traffic on Jamboree Road and to identify the dealership
location.
Finding:
K. There are no alternatives to the modification permit that could provide similar benefits to the
applicant with less potential detriment to surrounding owners and occupants, the
neighborhood, or to the general public.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. NBMC Section 20.42.060 (Provisions Applying to All Sign Types) allows a maximum
logo height of 36 inches. Section 20.42.070 allows a maximum sign area of 1.5 times
the tenant frontage or 75 square feet maximum. Due to the design of the building
frontage, the increased logo height and area for the wall signs are necessary to provide
improved identification for the subject property. The proposed signage is necessary due
to the size of the site and location of the building. Due to the length of the building
frontage and its orientation to Jamboree Road, the increased size is necessary to
provide site identification. There are no alternatives that would provide adequate
visibility to motorists travelling on Jamboree Road.
Finding:
L. .The granting of the modification would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or
welfare, to the occupants of the property, nearby properties, the neighborhood, or the City,
or result in a change in density or intensity that would be inconsistent with the provisions of
this Zoning Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. This approval will allow for an increase in the number and size of the wall signs, but will
not result in a change in intensity or density of the existing commercial use.
2. The size of the wall signs are within scale of the signs in the surrounding area and will
not adversely affect or be detrimental to persons, property, or improvements in the
surrounding neighborhood.
3. Compliance with the Municipal Code and the attached conditions of approval is required
and will further ensure that the proposed use will not be detrimental.

Attachment No. ZA 3
Applicant’s Justification
18
Justification and Required Findings
1. The requested modification will be compatible with existing development in the neighborhood in
that the signage is not excessive and is presented in a professional manner. The design is consistent
with other Jaguar dealers in Southern California.
2. The modification is being pursued in order to allow signs in excess of 30% of the maximum allowed
sign area. While the proposed signage are larger than the existing, Jaguar will be removing 6 signs
facing Jamboree (Aston Martin Service, Jaguar w/ Logo, Aston Martin, Newport Beach, Land Rover
and Range Rover) and replacing them with 2 wall signs (Jaguar w/ Logo – 116.03 SF , & Land Rover w/
logo – 147.47 SF) Sign one will exceed the allowable SF with a sign program (97.5 SF) by 18.53 SF.
Sign two will exceed the allowable by 49.97 SF.
The architectural scale of the building supports the proposed signs in their size and design.
While the proposed Pylon Sign (#19) is under the 20’ height limit (10’-10”) and is under the SF allowed
(37.35 SF), there are also two pedestrian oriented informational signs along with 3 vehicular
directional signs proposed. The Newport Beach Sign Code does not specifically address information
signs or vehicular directional signs (these are not “tenant” directional sign nor do they include
identification that is meant to be viewed from the street).
They are also asking for relief from the required 10' setback from the PL. The sign is 7--6" as proposed
and 17'-6" setback from the curb face. Aesthetically it looks better for the sign to be centered in the
planter.
On directional signs # 4 and # 6, they are asking for a waiver from the City's 5'-0" setback from
roadways. These are on site signs and there is no room in the proposed planter to set them back 5'-0"
from the private road that goes through the dealership. The signs as proposed do not constitute a
safety hazard.
Jaguar wants to keep a cohesive look to the sign design package to promote a professional
appearance and so they are requesting a modification on these signs also.
The Dealership is maintaining a consistent brand with other Jaguar dealerships in Southern California.
3. The Zoning code intent is to allow for effective signage without creating a proliferation of signs.
Jaguar will be reducing the amount of signage but slightly increasing the size of some.
4. Jaguar feels that by reducing the number of signs facing the ROW but allowing for a greater size to
maximize visibility without overwhelming the architectural integrity of the building, this modification
provides a reasonable alternative without proving detrimental to surrounding owners and occupants.
5. Allowing an increase in size to signage and allowing for multiple freestanding signs (only one Pylon
ID) would not in any way be detrimental to the public health, safety of welfare or result in a change of
density or intensity that would be inconsistent with the provisions of the zoning code.
