PC2018-014 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT, CALIFORNIA BEACH APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. UP2017-030 FOR A VEHICLE RENTAL FACILITY USE LOCATED AT 4340 CAMPUS DRIVE, 4360 CAMPUS DRIVE, 4400 CAMPUS DRIVE, 4500 CAMPUS DRIVE, 4341 BIRCH STREET, AND 4361 BIRCH STREET, AND REPEALING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. UP2014-025 (PA2017-215) THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS. 1. An application was filed by Enterprise Rent A Car Company of Los Angeles, LLC ("Applicant"), with respect to properties located at 4340 Campus Drive, 4360 Campus Drive, 4400 Campus Drive, 4500 Campus Drive, 4341 Birch Street, and 4361 Birch Street ("Properties"), and legally described as Lot 29 of Tract No. 3201, Lot 30 of Tract No. 3201, Lot 31 of Tract No. 3201, Parcel 1 as shown on a map filed in Book 60, Page 22 of Parcel Maps in the Office of the County Recorder, Lot 6 of Tract No. 5169, and Parcel 1 as shown on Lot Line Adjustment No. 93-5, respectively, requesting approval of a conditional use permit. 2. The Applicant proposes to expand the existing Enterprise Rent-A-Car facilities located at 4500 Campus Drive and 4361 Bi~ch Street ("Project"). The Project includes the following: (1) demolishing three existing office buildings (38,620 square feet in total) at4340 Campus Drive, 4400 Campus Drive, and 4341 Birch Street; (2) remodeling of an existing approximately 11,682-square-foot office building to create a vehicle service center, hand car wash, personal offices,-and vehicle parts storage; (3) grading and paving with installation of perimeter security fencing and walls, landscaping, and exterior lighting; and (4) striping and reconfiguring of paved areas to create 91 customer and employee parking spaces and approximately 810 stacked parking spaces for vehicle storage. The existing barriers between each of the lots will be removed to allow vehicle circulation without having to utilize the surrounding public right-of-way. 3. The Properties are designated Airport Office and Supporting Uses (AO) by the General Plan Land Use Element and are located within the Office Airport (OA) Zoning District. 4. The Properties are not located within the coastal zone. 5. A public hearing was held on April 5, 2018, in the Council Chambers located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC"). Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this hearing. PA2019-185 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-014 Page 2 of 13 SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION. 1. This Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15302 under Class 2 (Replacement and Reconstruction) and Section 15303 under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. 2. The Class 2 exemption consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. The proposed Project includes the demolition of 38,620 square feet of commercial office space with continued use of approximately 11,682 square feet of commercial space and a larger parking area for Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Based on information provided by the Applicant, the City Traffic Engineer has determined that traffic generation associated with the renovated commercial space and vehicle rental operation is expected to generate less average daily trips ("ADT") than the previous commercial office development. 3. The Class 3 exemption consists of the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. The Project will repurpose an existing approximately 11,682-square-foot commercial office building as a vehicle service center with three bays, a hand car wash, private offices, and vehicle parts storage. The exterior of the commercial office building remains mostly intact. SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS. In accordance with NBMC Section 20.52.020(F) (Required Findings), the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth: Finding: A. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The purpose and intent of the AO General Plan Land Use Element category is to provide for the development of properties adjoining the John Wayne Airport for uses that support or benefit from airport operations. The proposed Project is compatible with other uses in the vicinity and will both support and benefit from the airport operations because it will provide rental vehicles for airport users. 2. Three General Plan Land Use Element Policies relate to this Project: a. Land Use Element Policy LU 6.15.24 (Primary Uses) indicates that automobile rental facilities should be accommodated within the AO designation subject to discretionary review. PA2019-185 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-014 Page 3 of 13 b. Land Use Element Policy LU 6.15.26 (Automobile Rental and Supporting Uses) states that the City should work with automobile rental and supporting uses to promote the consolidation and visual improvement of auto storage, service, and storage facilities. The proposed Project will expand the existing Enterprise Rent- A-Car facility onto the abutting properties to the west, effectively consolidating the operation to a more concise project site. The additional stacked vehicle parking areas will help to prevent future needs for off-site vehicle storage .. Aesthetic upgrades to the perimeter of the Project site including decorative walls and landscaping will help to lessen the visual blight of vehicle storage and will serve as an overall improvement to the area. c. Land Use Element Policy LU 6.15.27 (Site Planning and Architecture) indicates properties within the Campus Tract should upgrade street frontages with landscape, well-designed signage, and other amenities to improve the area's visual quality. The proposed Project includes significant landscaped areas within the front setback and a continuous system of matching block walls to help buffer and blend the Project site into the visual character of the neighborhood. 3. The Properties are not part of a specific plan area. Finding: B. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and the Municipal Code. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The Project site is located within the OA Zoning District. The OA Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate for the development of properties adjoining the John Wayne Airport for uses that support or benefit from airport operations. The proposed Project is compatible with other uses in the vicinity and will both support and benefit from airport operations by providing rental vehicles to airport users. 2. Vehicle/Equipment Rentals and Sales is a permitted use within the OA Zoning District subject to the approval of a conditional use permit. 3. The existing facility operates under Conditional Use Permit No. UP2014-025, which was approved by the Planning Commission on November 6, 2014. The proposed Project is an expansion of the existing use, which requires the review and approval of a new conditional use permit (i.e., an amendment). 4. NBMC Section 20.40.040 (Off-Street Parking Spaces Required) requires one parking space per 1,000 square feet of lot area for a Vehicle/Equipment Rentals and Sales use. The Properties total approximately 377,050 square feet in area. The Project is designed with approximately 932 parking spaces on-site, which far exceeds the required amount (377,050 square feet I 1,000 square feet= 378 parking spaces). PA2019-185 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-014 Page 4 of 13 5. The Project includes approximately 14,514 square feet of landscaped area, which is designed to comply with NBMC Chapter 14.17 (Water-Efficient Landscaping) and NBMC Section 20.40.070 (Development Standards for Parking Areas). Conditions of Approval Nos. 11 and 12 require the submittal of a final landscape p'ackage prior to building permit issuance and help to ensure landscaping and irrigation comply with applicable standards and are well maintained. 6. Although a photometric survey has not yet been provided, Conditions of Approval Nos. 14 and 15 are included to require the dimming of excessively illuminated areas and the preparation of a photometric study prior to building permit issuance. Finding: C. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The Project site is located 100 feet east of John Wayne Airport and is bound between Campus Drive and Birch Street. The proposed use primarily services travelers of the airport and its proximity helps to make it an ideal location while minimizing traffic impacts to the surrounding area. Customers may visit the site directly; however, this on-site component is a small part of the overall operation. 2. Surrounding properties are developed with single-and two-story commercial office buildings occupied primarily by business office, professional and administrative office, and personal service uses. Other vehicle rental facilities are also nearby. 3. The improvements occurring to the surface parking area, inclusive of the dedicated vehicle transport truck loading and unloading areas, will improve compatibility with the existing and allowed uses in the vicinity. 4. Repurposing the existing commercial office building to a vehicle service center with three service bays and a hand car wash will improve the efficiency of the operations for the existing vehicle rentals facility use. 5. To help ensure continued compatibility with other commercial uses in the area, conditions of approval are included to restrict the operation. These conditions of approval include, but are not limited to: a. Condition of Approval No. 6 requires all employees to park on-site. b. Condition of Approval No. 7 requires all vehicle transport trucks or hauler of any kind to load and unload within designated areas on the private property and off the public right-of-way. PA2019-185 Finding: Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-014 Page 5 of 13 c. Conditions of Approval Nos. 14 and 15 limit the outdoor lighting proposed for the facility and help to ensure there is no light spillage or glare onto adjacent properties or on the public right-of-way. d. Conditions of Approval Nos. 17 and 18 restrict facility noise generation and help to ensure compliance with NBMC Chapter 10.26 (Community Noise Control). D. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access and public services and utilities. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The Project site is comprised of 4340 Campus Drive, 4360 Campus Drive, 4400 Campus Drive, 4500 Campus Drive, 4341 Birch Street, and 4361 Birch Street, which total approximately 8.66 acres in area. The proposed Project involves the demolition of three existing commercial office buildings totaling 36,953 square feet in gross floor area. The demolished sites will be regraded and paved. Improvements will be made to create customer and employee parking areas with 91 parking spaces. The improvements also will include a large vehicle storage area consisting of stacked parking totaling approximately 810 parking spaces, as well as transport truck offloading areas. 2. Public access is provided to the Project site by existing driveway approaches on Campus Drive. Adequate emergency vehicle access is incorporated into the Project design. Conditions of approval are included to help ensure compliance with emergency vehicle access requirements. The final plans will be reviewed by the Fire Department. 3. The Project site is currently developed with an existing vehicle rentals facility and individual commercial office buildings. The proposed demolition of approximately 36,953 square feet of existing commercial office buildings and replacement with surface parking areas will likely have a net decrease in the use of utilities and public services. The City currently serves the site with water and sewer via mains that run through easements along the Campus Drive and Birch Street easements. The Gas Company and Southern California Edison will continue to service the site through existing connections. 4. Conditions of approval are included to ensure all improvements to the Project site will comply with all Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes. All ordinances of the City and all conditions of approval will be complied with. Finding: E. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. PA2019-185 Facts in Support of Finding: Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-014 Page 6 of 13 1.A vehicle rentals facility has been in operation at 4361 Birch Street since the early 1990s. The expanded operation at 4500 Campus Drive has been in operation since 2015, under Conditional Use Permit No. UP2014-025. This use has not proven detrimental to the area, and has demonstrated it is compatible with the neighboring commercial uses. 2.The proposed Project will consolidate the area operations onto a single site and will provide dedicated areas for vehicle transport trucks to load and unload on private property, as opposed to within the public right-of-way. 3.See Fact in Support of Finding C(5) above. SECTION 4. DECISION. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1.The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. UP2017-030 subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit "A," which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference. 2.This action shall become final and effective 14 days following the date this Resolution was adopted unless within such time an appeal is filed with the City Clerk in accordance with the provisions of NBMC Title 20 Planning and Zoning. 3.This resolution repeals Conditional Use Permit No. UP2014-025 and Planning Commission Resolution No. 1960, which upon vesting of the rights authorized by Conditional Use Permit No. UP2017-030, shall become null and void.

UP2014-025 FOR A VEHICLE RENTAL FACILITY USE LOCATED AT 4500 CAMPUS DRIVE AND 4361 BIRCH STREET (PA2014-108) THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS. 1. An application was filed by Rabi Ann Sales of DLR Group, on behalf of Enterprise Holdings, Inc., with respect to properties located at 4500 Campus Drive legally described as Parcel 1 in the City of Newport Beach, County of Orange, State of California, as shown on a Map filed in Book 60, Page 22 of Parcel Maps, in the office of the County Recorder of said County and 4361 Birch Street legally described as Parcel 1 on Lot Line Adjustment 93-5 recorded December 8, 1993 as Instrument No. 93-0854901 Official Records, requesting approval of a conditional use permit. 2. The applicant proposes to expand the existing Enterprise Rent-A-Car facilities located at 4361 Birch Street. The proposed project includes the following: (1) demolition of three existing office buildings (69,804 square feet in total) at 4500 Campus Drive; (2) grading and paving with installation of perimeter security fencing and walls, landscaping, and exterior lighting; (3) construction of an approximately 5,000-square-foot administrative office and customer service building, 3,400-square-foot covered vehicle display area, and surface parking (57 customer and employee parking spaces and approximately 302 stacked parking spaces); (4) reconfiguration of the existing site to accommodate additional stacked parking (approximately 338 parking spaces) and a transport truck offloading area; and (5) addition of two new fuel dispensers and conversion of an existing service bay into a carwash. The existing barrier between the properties at 4500 Campus Drive and 4361 Birch Street will be removed to allow vehicle circulation between the two sites without having to utilize the surrounding public roadways. 3. The subject properties are located within the Office Airport (OA) Zoning District and the General Plan Land Use Element category is Airport Office and Supporting Uses (AO). 4. The subject properties are not located within the coastal zone. 5. A public hearing was held on November 6, 2014, in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this meeting. PA2019-185 Planning Commission Resolution No. 1960 Page 2 of 13 SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION. 1. This project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (Section 15315, Article 19 of Chapter 3, Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act) under Class 2 (Replacement and Reconstruction) and Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). 2. The Class 2 exemption consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. The proposed project includes the demolition of 69,804 square feet of commercial office space and replacement with 8,400 square feet of commercial office space and a larger parking area for Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Traffic generation associated with the new commercial office space and vehicle rental operation are expected to generate less average daily trips (ADT) than the previous commercial office development. 3. The Class 3 exemption consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures (up to 10,000 square feet in area) and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made to the exterior of the structure. The proposed project includes a new 8,400- square-foot commercial office space and modifications to the existing building on 4361 Birch Street to convert a service bay into a carwash and to add a new fueling station. SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS. In accordance with Section 20.52.020.F (Use Permit, Required Findings) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth: Finding: A. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The purpose and intent of the Airport Office and Supporting Uses (AO) General Plan Land Use Element category is to provide for the development of properties adjoining the John Wayne Airport for uses that support or benefit from airport operations. The proposed project is compatible with other uses in the vicinity and will both support and benefit from the airport operations. 2. General Plan Land Use Policy LU 6.15.24 {Primary Uses) indicates that automobile rental facilities should be accommodated within the AO designation subject to discretionary review. 07-22-2014 PA2019-185 Planning Commission Resolution No. 1960 Page 3 of 13 3. General Plan Land Use Policy LU 6.15.26 (Automobile Rental and Supporting Uses) states the City should work with automobile rental and supporting uses to promote the consolidation and visual improvement of auto storage, service, and storage facilities. The proposed project will expand the existing Enterprlse Rent-A-Car facility onto the abutting property to the north, effectively consolidating the operation to a more concise project site. Use of several other off-site rental vehicle storage lots within the area will be eliminated. Aesthetic upgrades to the perimeter of the project site will help to lessen the visual blight of vehicle storage and will serve as an overall improvement to the area. 4. General Plan Land Use Policy LU 6.15.27 (Site Planning and Architecture) indicates properties within the Campus Tract should upgrade street frontages with landscape, well-designed signage, and other amenities to improve the area's visual quality. The proposed project includes significant landscaped areas within the front setback to help buffer and blend the project site into the visual character of the neighborhood. 5. The subject property is not part of a specific plan area. Finding: B. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and the Municipal Code. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The project site is located within the Office Airport (OA) Zoning District. The OA Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate for the development of properties adjoining the John Wayne Airport for uses that support or benefit from airport operations. The proposed project is compatible with other uses in the vicinity and will both support and benefit from airport operations. 2. Vehicle/Equipment Rentals and Sales is a permitted use within the OA Zoning District subject to the approval of a conditional use permit. 3. Zoning Code Section 20.40.040 (Off-Street Parking Spaces Required) requires one parking space per 1,000 square feet of lot area for a Vehicle/Equipment Rentals and Sales use. The project site consists of two adjoining properties totaling 260,910 square feet in area and will be designed such that it accommodates approximately 697 parking spaces on-site. 4. As conditioned, the project will comply with all applicable Zoning Code provisions including, but not limited to Section 20.40.070 (Development Standards for Parking Areas), Chapter 20.36 (Landscaping Standards), and Section 20.30.070 (Outdoor Lighting). 07-22-2014 PA2019-185 Finding: Planning Commission Resolution No. 1960 Page 4 of 13 C. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The project site is located 100 feet east of John Wayne Airport and is bound between Campus Drive and Birch Street. The proposed use primarily services travelers of the airport and its proximity helps to make it an ideal location while minimizing traffic impacts to the surrounding area. 2. Properties within the vicinity of the project site are developed with single-and two- story commercial office buildings occupied primarily by business office, professional and administrative office, and personal service uses. Other vehicle rental facilities are also nearby. 3. The improvements occurring to the surface parking area, inclusive of the dedicated vehicle transport truck loading and unloading areas, will improve compatibility with the existing and allowed uses in the vicinity. 4. Conditions of approval are included to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any impacts to the surrounding commercial uses. Finding: D. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access and public services and utilities. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The project site is comprised of 4361 Birch Street and 4500 Campus Drive and totals approximately six acres in area. The proposed project will involve the demolition of three existing commercial office buildings (69,804 square feet) and the construction of an 8,400-square-foot commercial office building. Improvements will also be made to the site to include a customer and employee parking area with 57 parking spaces in addition to a large vehicle storage area consisting of stacked parking totaling 640 parking spaces and a transport truck offloading area. 2. The 4361 Birch Street property will be renovated, including the removal of the existing surface parking area and reconfiguration to include additional stacked parking and a vehicle transport truck loading and unloading area. 3. The project site is currently developed and there is adequate public and emergency vehicle access, public services, and utilities, which exist on the site to accommodate the proposed project development. 07-22-2014 PA2019-185 Planning Commission Resolution No. 1960 Page 5 of 13 4. The improvements to the project site will comply with all Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes. All ordinances of the City and all conditions of approval will be complied with. Finding: E. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The existing Vehicle/Equipment Rental facility at 4361 Birch Street has been in operation since the early 1990s pursuant to Use Permit No. 3512, has not proven detrimental to the area, and has demonstrated it is compatible with the neighboring commercial uses. 2. The proposed project will consolidate the area operations onto a single site and will provide dedicated areas for vehicle transport trucks to load and unload on private property, not on the public right-of-way. 3. Operational conditions of approval have been added to help ensure continued compatibility with other commercial uses within the area. SECTION 4. DECISION. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. UP2014-025, subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference. 2. This action shall become final and effective 14 days following the date this Resolution was adopted unless within such time an appeal is filed with the City Clerk in accordance with the provisions of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning), of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. 3. This resolution supersedes Use Permit No. UP3512 for 4361 Birch Street, which upon vesting of the rights authorized by this Conditional Use Permit, shall become null and void.
