The application includes a request for deviations from minimum lot size, setbacks for the retail building, the location of the air/water dispenser, and minimum landscaping requirements pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section 20.48.210 (Service Stations). The application also includes the addition of a Type 20 (Off - Sale Beer and Wine) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license. RECOMMENDATION: a) Conduct a public hearing; b) Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential to have a significant impact on the environment; and c) Adopt Resolution No. 2021-117, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Upholding the Decision of the Planning Commission and Approving Conditional Use Permit No. UP2019-004 and Coastal Development Permit No. CD2019-005, Which Supersedes Conditional Use Permit No. UP1580, to Remodel and Expand an Existing Convenience Store Including a Waiver of Some Service Station Development Standards and the Introduction of a Type 20 (Off -Sale Beer and Wine) Alcohol Beverage Control License for the Property Located at 2201 East Coast Highway (PA2019-027). 25-1 Resolution No. 2021-117: Call for Review of the Corona del Mar 76 Service Station Remodel (PA2019-027) November 16, 2021 Page 2 DISCUSSION: The project is a request for a conditional use permit and coastal development permit to allow the remodel of the existing service station and convenience market building, including a 232 -square -foot addition and the addition of a Type 20 (Off -Sale Beer and Wine) ABC license (Attachment H). The convenience market would be a total of 1,995 square feet and would operate from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m., daily, with alcohol sales from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., daily. The existing pump canopy, eight fuel dispensers, and below -grade fuel infrastructure will remain unchanged. The fuel dispensers are proposed to continue operation 24 hours, daily. The project includes 10 parking spaces, a trash enclosure, a water/air pump station, and landscaping. The driveway on Avocado Avenue and two driveways on East Coast Highway would remain. The subject property has a General Plan land use designation of Corridor Commercial (CC). The CC designation is intended to provide for a range of neighborhood -serving retail and service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster pedestrian activity. The fuel service station and convenience store, including alcohol sales, are consistent with this designation and will serve residents and visitors to the area as well as travelers along Coast Highway. The site is located within the Commercial Corridor (CC) Zoning District. The CC Zoning District is intended to provide for a range of neighborhood -serving retail and service uses along street frontages. Pursuant to NBMC Section 20.20.020 (Commercial Zoning Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements), service stations and convenience markets are permitted in the CC Zoning District with the approval of a conditional use permit. The proposed project complies with development standards including maximum floor area ratio, height, and parking requirements. The CC Zoning District allows a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.75, or 10,389 square feet for this site (lot size of 13,853 square feet). The maximum height permitted is 32 feet for flat roofs and the project proposes a height of 23 feet 6 inches. Parking is required at a rate of one space per 200 square feet of convenience store gross floor area, or 10 parking spaces for this project, which is provided in the proposed design. Service Station Development and Landscaoina Standards Specific design and development standards for service stations are also provided in NBMC Section 20.48.210 (Service Stations). The plans and project description are in compliance with the development standards of NBMC Section 20.48.210. The applicant requests modifications from the following six service station development standards: 1. Minimum 10 -foot setback to the south side property line abutting the alley for the convenience store. 25-2 Resolution No. 2021-117: Call for Review of the Corona del Mar 76 Service Station Remodel (PA2019-027) November 16, 2021 Page 3 The existing development provides a 0 -foot setback to the south side property line abutting the alley, whereas a 10 -foot setback is required for the convenience store building. The proposed small, 232 -square -foot addition would be in-line with the existing building and provide no setback to the alley. The existing building and small addition are located at the southeast corner of the property to maximize vehicle maneuverability at the front of the site around fuel pumps and parking spaces to promote convenient and safe circulation. The eight existing fuel dispensers are not proposed to change. The existing convenience market and vehicle repair bays have been located with a 0 -foot setback to the south and east property lines since 1972 and have not proven to be a detriment to the surrounding area. Requiring a 10 -foot setback would either reduce the depth of the convenience store, which would not be ideal for retail operations, or it would reduce vehicle maneuvering areas, negatively affecting circulation. If the setback area to the south were provided, it would benefit the residential property across the alley to the south by creating more open space, increasing the separation, and reducing building mass along the alley. However, the setback would not be an efficient use of the site with the rear setback area having limited visibility from the business, and the area could only be used for outdoor storage. 2. Minimum 10 -foot setback to the rear property line for the air/water dispenser. The development provides a 4 -foot setback to the rear property line abutting Korker Liquor for the air/water dispenser, whereas a 10 -foot setback is required. The air/water dispenser is strategically located far from residential land uses to avoid potential noise impacts to residential neighbors. The dispenser is located near proposed parking spaces for convenience to customers and to prevent interference with onsite circulation. The existing air/water dispenser is currently located in a similar location and has not proven to be a detriment to the surrounding area. 3. Minimum lot size. The subject property is 13,853 square feet in size, whereas a minimum 14,643 square feet is required to accommodate the proposed project (1,000 square feet of site area per fueling position and 3.33 square feet of site area for each square foot devoted to retail and/or food and beverage sales). The project is sized to provide a typical convenience store experience and is sited to provide adequate parking and efficient vehicle circulation despite the lot size and is thereby consistent with the Municipal Code's intent to promote service station design that includes adequate area for safe and efficient circulation and operation. 4. Minimum 5 -foot size planting area along Avocado Avenue and the south and east interior side property lines. 25-3 Resolution No. 2021-117: Call for Review of the Corona del Mar 76 Service Station Remodel (PA2019-027) November 16, 2021 Page 4 The development provides an irregularly shaped planting area along the east side interior property line that does not meet the 5 -foot minimum dimension. There is no perimeter landscaping provided along the south interior side property line where the building is abutting the alley today and none would be provided in the design. The project is designed to provide sufficient parking and circulation as determined by the City of Newport Beach's (City's) Traffic Engineer given the existing constraints of the unchanged fuel pumps and driveways. Landscape area is located primarily along the Avocado Avenue and East Coast Highway property lines to maximize visual impact. The highly visible landscape buffers the site from the public right-of-way and is therefore consistent with the Municipal Code's intent to promote service station design that is more compatible with its surroundings. 5. Minimum of 15 percent of the service station site landscaped. Landscape is provided onsite totaling 1,350 square feet, or 9.7 percent of the site area, instead of the required 15 percent of the site area. The provided landscape is primarily located along the rights-of-way and the corner of East Coast Highway and Avocado Avenue for maximum visual impact, consistent with the Municipal Code's intent to promote service station design that is compatible with surroundings, by buffering the site with landscaping. 6. Quantity of landscaping materials adjacent to the south side interior property line. The site provides three trees and 21 shrubs adjacent to the interior side property line abutting the alley, whereas a minimum of four trees and 13 shrubs are required. The existing convenience store is located adjacent to this side property line, leaving little space for landscaping. The property provides the required number of trees and shrubs along the Avocado Avenue, East Coast Highway, and east interior side property lines. The following findings must be met to approve the requested modification or waiver of service station development standards: a. The strict compliance with the standards is not necessary to achieve the purpose and intent of this section. b. The project possesses compensating design and development features that offset impacts associated with the modification or waiver of standards. c. The overall site plan and architectural design is consistent with the City of Newport Beach Design Guidelines: Automobile Service Stations and Washing. Facts in support of these findings are provided in the draft resolution for approval (Attachment A). In summary, the proposed project will be an improvement to the existing building architecture and landscaping to be consistent with the City of Newport Beach Design Guidelines: Automobile Service Stations and Washing. 25-4 Resolution No. 2021-117: Call for Review of the Corona del Mar 76 Service Station Remodel (PA2019-027) November 16, 2021 Page 5 The overall design and onsite improvements will offset impacts associated with the modification of service station standards. The new landscaping will comply with the requirements of the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELD). Therefore, in this case, the strict compliance with these standards is not necessary to achieve a project that is harmonious with the existing and future development and protects the use and enjoyment of neighboring properties. Citv of Newport Beach Desian Guidelines: Automobile Service Stations and Washin There are no proposed changes to the existing fuel pumps or pump canopy, and the addition to the convenience store will be in line with the existing convenience store. Therefore, there are limited changes to the overall site design. Access and circulation will be maintained with three existing driveways (two adjacent to East Coast Highway and one adjacent to Avocado Avenue). Alcoholic Beveraae Sales — Off Site The applicant has requested the approval of off-site beer and wine sales (Type 20 ABC License). NBMC Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) requires the Planning Commission to consider certain factors when making the required findings to approve the use permit. The Police Department has provided a report of Alcohol Related Statistics for consideration (Attachment F) with the factors required by NBMC Section 20.48.030 for consideration. 1. The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as compared to other areas in the City. a. The subject property is located in Reporting District 44 (RD 44). Part One Crimes are the eight most serious crimes defined by the FBI Uniform Crime Report — homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny -theft, auto theft, and arson. In 2020, there were 103 Part One crimes in RD 44, which is more than nearby reporting districts RD 42 and RD 43, which are predominantly residential with some commercial areas. The Part One Crime Rate in RD 44 is lower than adjacent reporting district RD 39, which includes Newport Center, but is higher than the citywide average. b. The Police Department has reviewed the proposed use, provided operating conditions of approval, and has no objection to the addition of the Type 20 alcoholic beverage license subject to all conditions of approval including limits on the hours for alcohol sales (6a.m. to 9 p.m., daily). 2. The number of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting district and in adjacent reporting districts. 25-5 Resolution No. 2021-117: Call for Review of the Corona del Mar 76 Service Station Remodel (PA2019-027) November 16, 2021 Page 6 a. Alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, and arrests in RD 44 make up 17 percent of arrests in this reporting district, which is higher than adjacent reporting district RD 39, lower than adjacent reporting district RD 42, and the same as adjacent reporting district RD 43. The Police Department has reviewed the proposed use and believes it will not contribute to additional alcohol-related calls for service, crimes and arrests. The Police Department has no objection to the proposed convenience market selling alcohol for off- site consumption. b. In 2020, there were 11 calls for service to the Property. Three of those calls were traffic related and did not involve the business. 3. The proximity of the establishment to residential zoning districts, day care centers, hospitals, park and recreation facilities, places of worship, schools, other similar uses, and any uses that attract minors. a. The establishment is adjacent to a residential zoning district (across a narrow public alley), and is approximately 800 feet from Old School Park, 1,000 feet from Community Church Congregational, and 1,700 feet from Harbor View Elementary School. The property is not located in proximity to any day care centers or hospitals. Draft conditions would require the convenience market to close by midnight daily, with no alcohol sales after 9:00 p.m., and additional conditions are included in the attached draft resolution for project approval to ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses. b. The area is characterized primarily by nearby residential and commercial uses and travelers along East Coast Highway and is intended to serve these customers. Nearby uses do not attract an inordinate number of minors. The proposed use may attract minors, but with active supervision of the site by the operator, minors or other people congregating should be easily manageable if this were to occur. 4. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off-site or on-site consumption. a. The property is located in Census Tract 627.01, which has two active off -sale ABC licenses and a population of approximately 2,800 residents. This represents a per capita ratio of one license for every 1,400 residents. Orange County has a per capita ratio of one license for every 1,597 residents. Since the area's ratio exceeds the ratio of on -sale retail licenses to population in the County, the area is deemed to have an undue concentration of alcohol licenses. b. There are two other off -sale alcohol establishments within this census tract. Korker Liquor is located at the abutting property, and Johndrow Vineyards, which is located in a residence and is restricted to providing internet sales only with no on-site customers. Adjacent Census Tract 627.02 has an additional six off -sale licenses. 25-6 Resolution No. 2021-117: Call for Review of the Corona del Mar 76 Service Station Remodel (PA2019-027) November 16, 2021 Page 7 5. Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable conditions. a. A service station with repair facilities and a convenience store has operated at the subject property since 1972 with no significant operating issues. The current convenience store does not sell alcohol. No objectionable conditions are presently occurring at the site and this conditional use permit as conditioned is intended to avoid future objectionable conditions related to the service of alcohol. b. The proposed use has been reviewed and conditioned to help ensure that the purpose and intent of NBMC Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) is maintained and that a healthy environment is preserved. The service of alcohol is intended for the convenience of customers living in and visiting the area. Operational conditions of approval recommended by the Police Department relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages will ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize potential alcohol-related issues. C. The hours of operation of the establishment will help reduce the potential effects on nearby land uses. The hours of operation of the convenience market will be limited to 6a.m. to 12a.m., daily. The hours of gas delivery will be limited to 7a.m. to 8p.m. Alcohol sales shall be limited to 6a.m. to 9p.m., daily. Expanding these hours could prove detrimental to nearby residences and staff does not recommend expanding the hours without further input from the Police Department and community. There are no restrictions proposed on hours of operation for fuel dispensing and staff believes the unrestricted hours for fueling should be maintained for the continued convenience to the community. Local Coastal Program The property is located within the Commercial Corridor (CC) Coastal Zoning District which is intended to provide for areas appropriate for a range of neighborhood -serving retail and service uses along street frontages. Fuel/service stations and convenience stores are allowed uses within this coastal zoning district. The proposed project is designed to comply with all applicable development standards to the greatest extent possible, including, but not limited to, floor area ratio, setbacks, parking requirements, and height. The site is not located within an area where the approval of the coastal development permit could be appealed to the California Coastal Commission. The site is not located between the first public road and the shoreline and it is not in proximity to the beach, a coastal bluff, wetland, or a stream. Architecture The architectural design (Attachment 1) of the remodeled convenience store will be upgraded to provide an attractive appearance that should be compatible with the surrounding area. 25-7 Resolution No. 2021-117: Call for Review of the Corona del Mar 76 Service Station Remodel (PA2019-027) November 16, 2021 Page 8 The elevations will reflect architecturally treated wall surfaces to prevent monotony and they will provide visual interest. The draft resolution includes a condition of approval requiring that prior to issuance of building permits, plans shall be revised to reflect a less contemporary architectural design. Therefore, the project does not have the potential to degrade the visual quality of the coastal zone or result in significant adverse impacts to public views. Planning Commission Hearing On October 7, 2021, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing (Attachment B and D) to consider the current project as proposed. After public comments (Attachment G), the Planning Commission voiced concerns about the modern architecture of the project and about the hours of operation for alcohol sales. To address these concerns, the Planning Commission revised conditions of approval limiting alcohol sales hours to 9p.m. and added conditions of approval relating to alcohol sales and the architecture of the building. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC2021- 029 (Attachment C) by a vote of 6-1 approving the use permit and coastal development permit. The revised and added conditions of approval are as follows: 1. The hours of operation of the convenience market shall be limited to 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., daily. The hours of gas delivery shall be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Alcohol sales shall be limited to 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., daily. 2. Refrigeration units and non -refrigeration units containing alcohol for sale shall be locked at 9:00 p.m., daily. 3. Prior to issuance of building permits, plans shall be revised to reflect a less contemporary architectural design. 4. One year after implementation of UP2019-004, the Community Development Director shall review this Conditional Use Permit and may, in consultation with the Newport Beach Police Department, extend hours of operation of alcohol sales to 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., daily. It should be noted that the fourth added condition of approval allows for the Community Development Director to review the project after one year and may, in consultation with the Police Department, extend alcohol hours of operation to 11 p.m. However, this decision is at the discretion of the Community Development Director and does not constitute an automatic extension of hours after one year. FISCAL IMPACT: If the project is approved and becomes operational there will be an increase in sales tax revenue to the City due to the market component of the project. The estimated increase in annual sales tax revenue to the City is $5,000. 25-8 Resolution No. 2021-117: Call for Review of the Corona del Mar 76 Service Station Remodel (PA2019-027) November 16, 2021 Page 9 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) 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. NOTICING: Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all owners and residential occupants of property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights-of-way and waterways) including the applicant and posted on the site at least 10 days before the scheduled meeting, consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code. Additionally, the item appeared on the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the City website.

Section 3: In accordance with Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the NBMC, the following finding and facts in support of finding for Use Permit No. UP2019-004 are set forth as follows: Finding A. The use is consistent with the purpose and intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales). Facts in Support of Finding In finding that the Project is consistent with Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the NBMC, the following criteria must be considered - 1 . onsidered: 1. The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as compared to other areas in the City. a. The Property is located in Reporting District 44 (RD 44). Part One Crimes are the eight most serious crimes defined by the FBI Uniform Crime Report — homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny -theft, auto theft, and arson. In 2020, there were 103 Part One crimes in RD 44, which is more than nearby reporting districts RD 42 and RD 43, which are predominantly residential with some commercial areas. The Part One Crime Rate in RD 44 is lower than adjacent reporting district RD 39, which includes Newport Center but is higher than the Citywide average. b. The Newport Beach Police Department ("NBPD") has reviewed the Project, provided operating conditions of approval, and did not object to the addition of the Type 20 alcoholic beverage license subject to all conditions of approval including limits on the hours for alcohol sales (6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., daily). However, the Planning Commission further limited the sale of alcohol to 9:00 p.m. 25-12 Resolution No. 2021 - Page 4 of 16 2. The number of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting district and in adjacent reporting districts. a. Alcohol related arrests in RD 44 make up 17 percent of arrests in this reporting district, which is higher than adjacent reporting district RD 39, lower than adjacent reporting district RD 42, and the same as adjacent reporting district RD 43. The NBPD has reviewed the Project and believes it will not contribute to additional alcohol- related calls for service, crimes and arrests, and did not object to the Applicant's request. b. In 2020, there were 11 calls for service to the Property. Three (3) of those calls were traffic related and did not involve the business. 3. The proximity of the establishment to residential zoning districts, day care centers, hospitals, park and recreation facilities, places of worship, schools, other similar uses, and any uses that attract minors. a. The Property is adjacent to a residential zoning district, and is approximately 800 feet from Old School Park, 1,000 feet from Community Church Congregational, and 1,700 feet from Harbor View Elementary School.

The Project is to be closed by midnight, with no alcohol sales after 9:00 p.m., and conditions are included to ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses. b. The area is characterized primarily by nearby residential and commercial uses. The Project is intended to serve these nearby uses and customers who travel along East Coast Highway. Nearby uses do not attract an inordinate number of minors. 4. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off-site or on-site consumption. a. The Property is located in Census Tract 627.01, which has two active off - sale ABC licenses and a population of approximately 2,800 residents. This represents a per capita ratio of one license for every 1,400 residents. Orange County has a per capita ratio of one license for every 1,597 residents. Since the area's ratio exceeds the ratio of on -sale retail licenses to population in the County, the area is deemed to have an undue concentration of alcohol licenses. 25-13 Resolution No. 2021 - Page 5 of 16 b. There are two off -sale ABC licenses within this census tract. Korker Liquor is located at the abutting property, and Johndrow Vineyards, which is located in a residence and is restricted to providing internet sales only with no on-site customers. Adjacent Census Tract 627.02 has an additional six off -sale ABC licenses. 5. Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable conditions. a. A service station with convenience store has operated at the Property since 1972 with no operating issues. The current convenience store does not sell alcohol. No objectionable conditions are presently occurring at the Property, and this conditional use permit and coastal development permit, as conditioned, are intended to avoid future objectionable conditions related to the service of alcohol. b. The Project has been reviewed and conditioned to help ensure that the purpose and intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the NBMC is maintained and that a healthy environment for businesses is preserved. The service of alcohol is intended for the convenience of customers living in and visiting the area. Operational conditions of approval recommended by the NBPD relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages will ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol-related impacts. C. The hours of operation of the establishment will help reduce the potential effects on nearby land uses. The hours of operation of the convenience market will be limited to 6:00 a.m. to midnight daily. The hours of gas delivery will be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily. Alcohol sales shall be limited to 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily. These hours of operation are proposed to mitigate impact to nearby residences.

The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, 25-14 Resolution No. 2021 - Page 6 of 16 Facts in Support of Finding 1. The CC (Corridor Commercial) land use designation under the General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan are intended to provide a range of neighborhood -serving retail and service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster pedestrian activity. The service station and convenience store, including alcohol sales, are consistent with this designation and will serve residents and visitors to the area as well as travelers along East Coast Highway. 2. The Project is allowed a maximum floor area ratio of 0.75 pursuant to the General Plan Land Use Map (Figure LU14) or 10,389 square feet for the 13,853 -square - foot Property. The proposed floor area is 1,995 square feet below the maximum allowed. 3. The Project is located adjacent to East Coast Highway and Avocado Avenue. East Coast Highway provides a primary transportation route through the City. The Project and existing service station site will provide services for visitors to the City as well as residents and employees of businesses located within the area. 4. The Property is not part of a specific plan area, therefore no findings of consistency with a specific plan is necessary. Finding B. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code,- Fact ode, Fact in Support of Finding 1. The Property is located in the CC (Commercial Corridor) Zoning District. Fuel/service stations with convenience markets including alcohol sales are permitted uses within this land use designation with the approval of a conditional use permit. 25-15 Resolution No. 2021 - Page 7 of 16 2. The Project complies with the requirements of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the NBMC. The Project is under 24 feet in height, below the maximum allowed height of 32 feet. The proposed building meets the CC (Commercial Corridor) zone setback standard which is zero feet pursuant to NBMC Section 20.20.030 (Commercial Zoning Districts General Development Standards), Table 2.7 (Development Standards for Commercial Retail Zoning Districts). The Project provides 10 parking spaces meeting the minimum standard of one space for every 200 gross square feet for service stations with convenience markets. The Project does not meet the minimum lot area, service station alley setback and landscaping standards, however, Section 20.48.210(T)(2) (Planning and Zoning, Standards for Specific Land Uses, Service Stations, Modification or Waiver of Standards) of the NBMC, allows for deviations when specific findings can be made. Facts to support the deviations are provided in Findings G, H, and I below and are incorporated herein by reference. 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 Property is located at the south corner of the intersection of East Coast Highway and Avocado Avenue. The Project is abutting residential properties to the south. The Property is surrounded by commercial properties to the north, east, and west. The Property provides a convenient location for residents and employees of the neighboring areas as well as visitors to the City traveling on East Coast Highway to purchase fuel and convenience items. Conditions of approval are included to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any impacts to the surrounding residential and commercial uses. 2. Although the Project does not provide the minimum land area required by Section 20.48.210 (Service Stations) of the NBMC, the Project is sited and designed to provide sufficient parking for the proposed use as well as safe and efficient vehicle and pedestrian circulation based on the review of the City's Traffic Engineer. 25-16 Resolution No. 2021 - Page 8 of 16 3. The hours of operation of the convenience store are proposed to be from 6:00 a.m. to midnight daily, with alcohol sales until 9:00 p.m. The existing Use Permit No. UP1580, does not limit hours of operation. The fuel dispensers will continue to be allowed to operate 24 hours a day if there is a demand for said services. The existing uses, including the fuel dispensers and convenience store, have not proven detrimental to the neighborhood or City. The Project includes conditions of approval to ensure that potential conflicts are minimized to the greatest extent possible. 4. The Applicant has submitted a lighting plan that shows compliance with Section 20.30.070 (Outdoor Lighting) of the NEMC, and no excessive lighting impact to the community and residential neighbors will be created. 5. The proposed convenience store faces away from abutting residences and has no windows and doors that face south toward residences. 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; and Facts in Support of Finding 1. The Project is located at the intersection of East Coast Highway, designated a major road by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways, and Avocado Avenue. Vehicular access to the site is provided via three existing driveways, two adjacent to East Coast Highway and one adjacent to Avocado Avenue. The Project is designed to provide adequate circulation and parking on-site for the service station and convenience market. 2. The Property is developed with the existing service station, vehicle repair bays, and convenience store. There is adequate public and emergency vehicle access, public services, and utilities, which are existing on the Property to accommodate the Project development. 3. The improvements to the Project will comply with all City of Newport Beach Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes. All ordinances of the City and all conditions of approval will be complied with. 25-17 Resolution No. 2021 - Page 9 of 16 4. Site vehicular access has been reviewed by the Public Works Department, which determined that the three existing driveways are necessary for safe and efficient access and circulation onsite. The existing driveways and layout of the fuel dispensers, parking spaces, and proposed building provide adequate spaces for efficient vehicle circulation for the fuel delivery truck and customer vehicles. 5. All necessary utilities are presently provided to the Property and the Project is not anticipated to increase utility demands beyond what is currently provided or available to the site. No expansion of existing public utility systems is anticipated. 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 Findinq 1. The existing service station, convenience store, and vehicle repair has been in operation since 1972 pursuant to Use Permit No. UP1580. The existing use has not proven detrimental to the area and has demonstrated that it is compatible with the neighboring residential uses. 2. The operational conditions of approval recommended by the NBPD relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages will ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize any impacts to the surrounding area which are related to the sale of alcohol from the convenience store. 3. Conditions of approval are included which will ensure that potential conflicts with the surrounding residential land uses are minimized to the greatest extent possible. Section 5: In accordance with Section 20.48.210(T)(2) (Service Stations, Modification or Waiver of Standards) of the NBMC, the following findings and facts in support of findings are set forth: 25-18 Resolution No. 2021 - Page 10 of 16 Finding A. The strict compliance with the standards is not necessary to achieve the purpose and intent of this section. Facts in Support of Finding 1. A total of 1,350 square feet, or 9.7 percent of the site area of landscaping is provided instead of the required 15 percent of the site area. The provided landscape is primarily located along the rights-of-way and the corner of East Coast Highway and Avocado Avenue for maximum visual impact, consistent with the NBMC's intent to promote service station design that is compatible with surroundings, by buffering the Property with landscaping. 2. The Project provides an irregularly shaped planting area along the east side interior property line that does not meet the 5 -foot minimum dimension. There is no perimeter landscaping provided along the south interior side property line abutting the alley. The Project is designed to provide sufficient parking circulation as determined by the City's Traffic Engineer, and to leave the existing fueling stations unchanged. Landscape area is located primarily along the Avocado Avenue and East Coast Highway property lines to maximize visual impact. The highly visible landscape buffers the Property from the public right-of-way and is therefore consistent with the NBMC's intent to promote service station design that is compatible with its surroundings. 3. The Project provides three trees and 21 shrubs adjacent to the interior side property line abutting the alley where a minimum of four trees and 13 shrubs are required. The existing convenience store is located adjacent to this side property line, leaving little space for landscaping. The Property provides the required number of trees and shrubs along the Avocado Avenue, East Coast Highway, and east interior side property lines. 4. A minimum 14,643 square feet is required to accommodate the Project (1,000 square feet of site area per fueling position and 3.33 square feet of site area per square foot for each square foot used for retail and/or food and beverage sales). The Property is 13,853 square feet in size; however, the Property is sited to provide adequate parking and efficient vehicle circulation despite its size and is thereby consistent with the NBMC's intent to promote service station design that includes adequate area for safe and efficient circulation. 25-19 Resolution No. 2021 - Page 11 of 16 5. The Project provides a zero foot setback to the south side property line abutting the alley, where a 10 foot setback is required for the proposed convenience store building abutting an alley. The existing building and the proposed addition are located at the southeast corner of the Property to maximize vehicle maneuverability at the front of the site around fuel pumps and parking spaces to promote convenient and safe circulation. The eight existing fuel dispensers are not proposed to change. The existing convenience market and vehicle repair bays have been located with a zero foot setback to the south and east property lines since 1972 and have not proven to be a detriment to the surrounding area. Requiring a 10 foot setback would either reduce the depth of the convenience store, which would not be ideal for retail operations and would require substantial work to the existing building, or it would reduce vehicle maneuvering areas, negatively affecting circulation. The resulting setback area to the south would benefit the residential property to the south by creating more open space, which may result in people congregating near residences with limited visibility to the business. 6. The Project provides a four foot setback to the rear property line abutting Korker Liquor for the air/water dispenser, whereas a ten foot setback is required. The air/water dispenser is strategically located far from residential land uses to avoid potential noise impacts to residential neighbors. The air/water dispenser is located near proposed parking spaces for convenience to customers and to prevent interference with onsite circulation. The existing air/water dispenser is located in a similar location and has not proven to be a detriment to the surrounding area. Finding B. The project possesses compensating design and development features that offset impacts associated with modification or waiver of standards. Facts in Support of Finding 1. The Project will enhance the appearance of the Property with updated and improved landscaping that is required to be consistent with the Zoning Code. The landscaping will provide improved screening and buffering from the public right-of-way. New landscaping will comply with the requirements of the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance ("WELO") set forth in Chapter 14.17 (Water -Efficient Landscaping) of the NBMC and will not include any invasive plants consistent with Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) of the Coastal Land Use Plan. 25-20 Resolution No. 2021 - Page 12 of 16 2. The Property will be developed with an expanded and enhanced convenience store building. The building will be one story and 23 feet and six inches high, where the maximum height is 32 feet for flat roofs. The building architecture is designed to provide an attractive appearance that is compatible with the surrounding area with high quality materials and architectural treatments to prevent building monotony. 3. The layout of the Project provides for vehicle maneuverability around the existing fuel dispensers, which are to remain unchanged. The new parking layout will provide sufficient parking spaces and circulation to serve the expanded convenience store. The deviation from the side setback avoids creating a secluded setback area between the building and the alley that is not beneficial to safe or convenient operations of the service station. Finding C. The overall site plan and architectural design is consistent with the City of Newport Beach Design Guidelines: Automobile Service Stations and Washing. Facts in Support of Findinq 1. The design guidelines do not include any architectural theme. The proposed improvements to the building architecture will provide an attractive modern appearance that is compatible with and complementary to the existing pump canopy and surrounding area. The building elevations reflect architecturally treated wall surfaces to prevent monotony and they will provide visual interest. 2. The strong landscaping features, including four trees at the corner at the intersection of East Coast Highway and Avocado Avenue anchors the corner and provides visual relief from the public right-of-way. Landscaping further enhances the design of the building and buffers the Property from the right-of-way. 3. The landscaping onsite will be improved to comply with the WELD. Irrigation will be updated to drip zone valves where possible to increase water efficiency and no invasive plant species will be planted. Section 6: In accordance with Section 21.52.015 (Coastal Development Permits) of the NBMC, the following findings and facts in support of findings are set forth: 25-21 (LCP). Resolution No. 2021 - Page 13 of 16 Finding A. Conforms to all applicable sections of the certified Local Coastal Program Facts in Support of Finding 1. The Property is located within the Commercial Corridor Coastal Zoning District. The Commercial Corridor Coastal Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate for a range of neighborhood -serving retail and service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster pedestrian activity. The Project is located at the intersection of East Coast Highway and Avocado Avenue and will provide services for residents of the surrounding area, employees of businesses located within the area, and visitors to the City as well as those traveling through the City. Fuel/service stations and convenience stores are allowed uses within the CC Coastal Zoning District. 2. The Project complies with all applicable Commercial Corridor development standards, including, but not limited to, floor area ratio, parking requirements, and setbacks. 3. The maximum floor area ratio allowable in the Commercial Corridor zone is 0.75, or 10,389 square feet for this 13,853 -square -foot lot. The proposed floor area is 1,995 square feet, below the maximum allowed. 4. Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) of the NBMC allows for a zero foot setback along property lines abutting streets and nonresidential properties. The Project provides a setback of over 75 feet from East Coast Highway to the convenience market and a five foot setback to Avocado Avenue from the new trash enclosure serving the convenience store. 5. Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) of the NBMC requires a minimum of one parking space for every 200 square feet of gross floor area for service stations with a convenience market. In this case, 10 parking spaces are required and provided for the 1,995 -square -foot convenience market. 25-22 Resolution No. 2021 - Page 14 of 16 Finding B. Conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act if the Project is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline of any body of water located within the coastal zone. Facts in Support of Finding 1. The Property is located in Corona del Mar and is not located between the nearest public road and the sea. Section 21.30A.040 (Determination of Public Access/Recreation Impacts) of the NBMC, requires that the provision of public access bear a reasonable relationship between the requirement and the Project's impact and be proportional to the impact. In this case, the Project involves the remodel of an existing convenience market with vehicle service repair bays to be used as a convenience market only, including a 232 -square -foot addition. Although the Project involves a change in intensity from the existing condition, service stations with convenience markets are allowed by right in the CC Coastal Zoning District and the development complies with all other applicable development standards including required parking. The Project is not anticipated to significantly increase demand on public access and recreation opportunities. The Property is located approximately 2,200 feet from Newport Harbor and approximately a two- mile drive from Corona del Mar State Beach and does not provide any public access easements. The Project will provide goods and services to the general public supporting access to the coast. 2. The Property is not located adjacent to a coastal view road, public viewpoint, public park or beach, or public accessway, as identified in the City of Newport Beach Coastal Land Use Plan. Furthermore, an investigation of the Property and surrounding area did not identify any other public view opportunities. The Property may be located within the viewshed of distant public viewing areas; however, the Project is located on an inland lot that involves the remodel of an existing single -story building and a 232 -square -foot addition that complies with development standards including height and setback requirements. The Property will be developed with an expanded and enhanced convenience store building. The building will be one story and 23 feet and six inches high, where the maximum height is 32 feet for flat roofs_ The building architecture is designed to provide an attractive appearance that is compatible with the surrounding area with high quality materials, unique colors, and architectural treatments to prevent building monotony. Therefore, the Project does not have the potential to degrade the visual quality of the coastal zone or result in significant adverse impacts to public views. 25-23 Resolution No. 2021 - Page 15 of 16 Section 7: The City Council finds the adoption of this resolution is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

PC2021-029 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. UP2019-004 AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. CD2019-005, WHICH SUPERSEDES USE PERMIT NO. UP1580, TO REMODEL AND EXPAND AN EXISTING CONVENIENCE STORE INCLUDING A WAIVER OF SOME SERVICE STATION DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND THE INTRODUCTION OF A TYPE 20 (OFF - SALE BEER AND WINE) ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL LICENSE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2201 EAST COAST HIGHWAY (PA2019-027) THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS. 1. On February 17, 1972, the Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach ("City") approved Use Permit No. UP1580 ("UP1580") which authorized Union Oil to operate a service station, including vehicle repair, at 2201 East Coast Highway and legally described Lots 1, 2, and 3 of Tract 682, in the City of Newport Beach, County of Orange, State of California, as shown on a map recorded in Book 20 Page 19 of Miscellaneous Maps, in the Office of the County Recorder of said County ("Property"). The use has been in continuous operation since the approval of UP1580. 2. An application was filed by Hamid Kianipur ("Applicant"), with respect to the Property, requesting approval of a conditional use permit and coastal development permit. 3. The Applicant seeks a coastal development permit and conditional use permit to allow the remodel of an existing service repair station and convenience market, including the addition of 232 square feet, to operate solely as a convenience market. The Applicant requests deviations from minimum lot size, setbacks for the retail building and air/water dispenser, and minimum landscaping requirements pursuant to Section 20.48.210 (Service Stations) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC"); and a Type 20 (Off -Sale Beer and Wine) license with the Alcoholic Beverage Control ("ABC") license ("Project"). The existing pump canopy, eight (8) fuel dispensers, and below -grade fuel infrastructure are to remain unchanged. The convenience market would operate from 6:00 a.m. to midnight, daily, with alcohol sales from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., daily. If approved, accepted and implemented, this coastal development permit and conditional use permit would supersede and replace UP1580. 4. The Property is located within the CC (Commercial Corridor) Zoning District and the General Plan Land Use Element category is CC (Corridor Commercial). 5. The Coastal Land Use Plan category is CC -B (Corridor Commercial) (with a floor area ratio of 0.0 to 0.75) and is located within the CC (Commercial Corridor) Coastal Zoning District. 25-37 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-029 Paae 2 of 21 Since the Property is located within the coastal zone, a coastal development permit is required for the Project 6. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on October 7, 2021 in the Council Chambers located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with the California Government Code Section 54950 et seq. ("Ralph M. Brown Act"), Chapters 20.62 (Public Hearings) and 21.62 (Public Hearings) of the NBMC. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this hearing. SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION. 1. This Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. 2. The Class 1 (Existing Facilities) exemption applies to additions to existing structures provided that the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50 percent of the floor area of the structures before the addition, or 2,500 square feet, whichever is less. The Project consists of a remodel of an existing 1,763 -square -foot convenience market, including the conversion of vehicle service bays to convenience market retail floor area and a 232 -square -foot addition. SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS. Alcohol Sales In accordance with Section 20.48.030(C)(3) (Alcohol Sales — Required Findings) of the NBMC, the following findings and facts in support of the findings for a use permit are set forth: Finding A. The use is consistent with the purpose and intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales). Facts in Support of Finding In finding that the Project is consistent with Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the NBMC, the following criteria must be considered: i. The crime rate in the reporting district and adjacent reporting districts as compared to other areas in the City. 1. The Property is located in Reporting District 44 (RD 44). Part One Crimes are the eight (8) most serious crimes defined by the FBI Uniform Crime Report — homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny -theft, auto theft, and arson. In 2020, 25-38 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-029 Paae 3 of 21 there were 103 Part One crimes in RD 44, which is more than nearby reporting districts RD 42 and RD 43, which are predominantly residential with some commercial areas. The Part One Crime Rate in RD 44 is lower than adjacent reporting district RD 39, which includes Newport Center but is higher than the Citywide average. 2. The Newport Beach Police Department ("NBPD") has reviewed the Project, provided operating conditions of approval, and has no objection to the addition of the Type 20 alcoholic beverage license subject to all conditions of approval including limits on the hours for alcohol sales (6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., daily). ii. The number of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in the reporting district and in adjacent reporting districts. 1. Alcohol-related arrests in RD 44 make up 17 percent of arrests in this reporting district, which is higher than adjacent reporting district RD 39, lower than adjacent reporting district RD 42, and the same as adjacent reporting district RD 43. The NBPD has reviewed the Project and believes it will not contribute to additional alcohol-related calls for service, crimes and arrests, and has no objection to the Applicant's request. 2. In 2020, there were 11 calls for service to the Property. Three (3) of those calls were traffic related and did not involve the business. iii. The proximity of the establishment to residential zoning districts, day care centers, hospitals, park and recreation facilities, places of worship, schools, other similar uses, and any uses that attract minors. 1. The Property is adjacent to a residential zoning district, and is approximately 800 feet from Old School Park, 1,000 feet from Community Church Congregational, and 1,700 feet from Harbor View Elementary School. The Property is not located within close proximity to any day care centers or hospitals. The Project is to be closed by midnight, with no alcohol sales after 11:00 p.m., and conditions are included to ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses. 2. The area is characterized primarily by nearby residential and commercial uses and travelers along East Coast Highway and is intended to serve these customers. Nearby uses do not attract an inordinate number of minors. iv. The proximity to other establishments selling alcoholic beverages for either off-site or on- site consumption. 1. The Property is located in Census Tract 627.01, which has two (2) active off -sale ABC licenses and a population of approximately 2,800 residents. This represents a per capita ratio of one (1) license for every 1,400 residents. Orange County has a per capita ratio of one (1) license for every 1,597 residents. Since the area's ratio exceeds the ratio of on -sale retail licenses to population in the County, the area is deemed to have an undue concentration of alcohol licenses. 25-39 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-029 Paae4of21 2. There are two (2) off -sale ABC licenses within this census tract. Korker Liquor is located at the abutting Property, and Johndrow Vineyards, which is located in a residence and is restricted to providing internet sales only with no on-site customers. Adjacent Census Tract 627.02 has an additional six (6) off -sale ABC licenses. v. Whether or not the proposed amendment will resolve any current objectionable conditions. 1. A service station with convenience store has operated at the Property since 1972 with no operating issues. The current convenience store does not sell alcohol. No objectionable conditions are presently occurring at the Property, and this conditional use permit as conditioned is intended to avoid future objectionable conditions related to the service of alcohol. 2. The Project has been reviewed and conditioned to help ensure that the purpose and intent of Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) of the NBMC is maintained and that a healthy environment for businesses is preserved. The service of alcohol is intended for the convenience of customers living in and visiting the area. Operational conditions of approval recommended by the NBPD relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages will ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize alcohol-related impacts. 3. The hours of operation of the establishment will help reduce the potential effects on nearby land uses. The hours of operation of the convenience market will be limited to 6:00 a.m. to midnight, daily. The hours of gas delivery will be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., daily. Alcohol sales shall be limited to 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., daily. These hours of operation are proposed to mitigate impact to nearby residences. There are no restrictions proposed on hours of operation for fuel dispensing. Conditional Use Permit In accordance with Section 20.52.020(F) (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use Permits, Findings and Decision) of the NBMC, the following findings and facts in support of the findings for a use permit are set forth: Finding B. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan; Facts in Support of Finding 1. The CC (Corridor Commercial) land use designation under the General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan are intended to provide a range of neighborhood -serving retail and service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster pedestrian activity. The service station and convenience store, including alcohol sales, are consistent with this designation and will serve residents and visitors to the area as well as travelers along Coast Highway. 25-40 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-029 Paae 5 of 21 2. The Project is allowed a maximum floor area ratio of 0.75 pursuant to the General Plan Land Use Map (Figure LU14) or 10,389 square feet for the 13,853 -square -foot Property. The proposed floor area is 1,995 square feet below the maximum allowed. 3. The Project is located adjacent to East Coast Highway and Avocado Avenue. East Coast Highway provides a primary transportation route through the City. The Project and existing service station site will provide services for visitors to the City as well as residents and employees of businesses located within the area. 4. The Property is not part of a specific plan area, therefore no findings of consistency with a specific plan is necessary. Finding C. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code; Fact in Support of Finding 1. The Property is located in the CC (Commercial Corridor) Zoning District. Fuel/service stations with convenience markets including alcohol sales are permitted uses within this land use designation with the approval of a conditional use permit. 2. The Project complies with the requirements of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the NBMC. The Project is under 24 feet in height, below the maximum allowed height of 32 feet. The proposed building meets the CC (Commercial Corridor) zone setback standard which is 0 feet pursuant to NBMC Section 20.20.030 (Commercial Zoning Districts General Development Standards), Table 2.7 (Development Standards for Commercial Retail Zoning Districts). The Project provides 10 parking spaces meeting the minimum standard of one (1) space for every 200 gross square feet for service stations with convenience markets. The Project does not meet the minimum lot area, service station alley setback and landscaping standards, however, Section 20.48.210(T)(2) (Planning and Zoning, Standards for Specific Land Uses, Service Stations, Modification or Waiver of Standards) of the NBMC, allows for deviations when specific findings can be made. Facts to support the deviations are provided in Findings G, H, and I below and are incorporated herein by reference. Finding D. 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 Property is located at the south corner of the intersection of East Coast Highway and Avocado Avenue. The Project is abutting residential properties to the south. The Property is surrounded by commercial properties to the north, east, and west. The 25-41 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-029 Paae 6 of 21 Property provides a convenient location for residents and employees of the neighboring areas as well as visitors to the City traveling on East Coast Highway to purchase fuel and convenience items. Conditions of approval are included to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, any impacts to the surrounding residential and commercial uses. 2. Although the Project does not provide the minimum land area required by Section 20.48.210 (Service Stations) of the NBMC, the Project is sited and designed to provide sufficient parking for the proposed use as well as safe and efficient vehicle and pedestrian circulation based on the review of the City's Traffic Engineer. 3. The hours of operation of the convenience store are proposed to be from 6:00 a.m. to midnight, daily, with alcohol sales until 11:00 p.m. The existing Use Permit No. UP1580, does not limit hours of operation. The fuel dispensers will continue to be allowed to operate 24 hours a day if there is a demand for said services. The existing uses, including the fuel dispensers and convenience store, have not proven detrimental to the neighborhood or City. The Project includes conditions of approval to ensure that potential conflicts are minimized to the greatest extent possible. 4. The Applicant has submitted a lighting plan that shows compliance with Section 20.30.070 (Outdoor Lighting) of the NBMC, and no excessive lighting impact to the community and residential neighbors will be created. 5. The proposed convenience store faces away from abutting residences and has no windows and doors that face south toward residences. Finding E. 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; and Facts in Support of Finding 1. The Project is located at the intersection of East Coast Highway, designated a major road by the Master Plan of Streets and Highways, and Avocado Avenue. Vehicular access to the site is provided via three (3) existing driveways, two (2) adjacent to East Coast Highway and one (1) adjacent to Avocado Avenue. The Project is designed to provide adequate circulation and parking on-site for the service station and convenience market. 2. The Property is developed with the existing service station, vehicle repair bays, and convenience store. There is adequate public and emergency vehicle access, public services, and utilities, which are existing on the Property to accommodate the Project development. 25-42 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-029 Paae 7 of 21 3. The improvements to the Project will comply with all City of Newport Beach Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes. All ordinances of the City and all conditions of approval will be complied with. 4. Site vehicular access has been reviewed by the Public Works Department, which determined that the three (3) existing driveways are necessary for safe and efficient access and circulation onsite. The existing driveways and layout of the fuel dispensers, parking spaces, and proposed building provide adequate spaces for efficient vehicle circulation for the fuel delivery truck and customer vehicles. 5. All necessary utilities are presently provided to the Property and the Project is not anticipated to increase utility demands beyond what is currently provided or available to the site. No expansion of existing public utility systems is anticipated. Finding F. 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 service station, convenience store, and vehicle repair has been in operation since 1972 pursuant to Use Permit No. UP1580. The existing use has not proven detrimental to the area and has demonstrated that it is compatible with the neighboring residential uses. 2. The operational conditions of approval recommended by the NBPD relative to the sale of alcoholic beverages will ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses and minimize any impacts to the surrounding area which are related to the sale of alcohol from the convenience store. 3. Conditions of approval are included which will ensure that potential conflicts with the surrounding residential land uses are minimized to the greatest extent possible. Modification of Service Station Standards In accordance with Section 20.48.210(T)(2) (Service Stations, Modification or Waiver of Standards) of the NBMC, the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth: Finding G. The strict compliance with the standards is not necessary to achieve the purpose and intent of this section. 25-43 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-029 Paae 8 of 21 Facts in Support of Finding 1. A total of 1,350 square feet, or 9.7 percent of the site area of landscaping is provided instead of the required 15 percent of the site area. The provided landscape is primarily located along the rights-of-way and the corner of East Coast Highway and Avocado Avenue for maximum visual impact, consistent with the NBMC's intent to promote service station design that is compatible with surroundings, by buffering the Property with landscaping. 2. The Project provides an irregularly shaped planting area along the east side interior property line that does not meet the 5 -foot minimum dimension. There is no perimeter landscaping provided along the south interior side property line abutting the alley. The Project is designed to provide sufficient parking circulation as determined by the City's Traffic Engineer, and to leave the existing fueling stations unchanged. Landscape area is located primarily along the Avocado Avenue and East Coast Highway property lines to maximize visual impact. The highly visible landscape buffers the Property from the public right-of-way and is therefore consistent with the NBMC's intent to promote service station design that is compatible with its surroundings. 3. The Project provides three (3) trees and 21 shrubs adjacent to the interior side property line abutting the alley where a minimum of four (4) trees and 13 shrubs are required. The existing convenience store is located adjacent to this side property line, leaving little space for landscaping. The Property provides the required number of trees and shrubs along the Avocado Avenue, East Coast Highway, and east interior side property lines. 4. The Property is 13,853 square feet in size, whereas a minimum 14,643 square feet is required to accommodate the Project (1,000 square feet of site area per fueling position and 3.33 square feet of site area per square foot for each square foot used for retail and/or food and beverage sales). The Project is sited to provide adequate parking and efficient vehicle circulation despite its size and is thereby consistent with the NBMC's intent to promote service station design that includes adequate area for safe and efficient circulation. 5. The Project provides a 0 -foot setback to the south side property line abutting the alley, where a 10 -foot setback is required for the proposed convenience store building abutting an alley. The existing building and the proposed addition are located at the southeast corner of the Property to maximize vehicle maneuverability at the front of the site around fuel pumps and parking spaces to promote convenient and safe circulation. The eight (8) existing fuel dispensers are not proposed to change. The existing convenience market and vehicle repair bays have been located with a 0 -foot setback to the south and east property lines since 1972 and have not proven to be a detriment to the surrounding area. Requiring a 10 -foot setback would either reduce the depth of the convenience store, which would not be ideal for retail operations and would require substantial work to the existing building, or it would reduce vehicle maneuvering areas, negatively affecting circulation. The resulting setback area to the south would benefit the residential property to the south by creating more open space, 25-44 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-029 Paae 9 of 21 which may result in people congregating near residences with limited visibility to the business. 6. The Project provides a 4 -foot setback to the rear property line abutting Korker Liquor for the air/water dispenser, whereas a 10 -foot setback is required. The air/water dispenser is strategically located far from residential land uses to avoid potential noise impacts to residential neighbors. The air/water dispenser is located near proposed parking spaces for convenience to customers and to prevent interference with onsite circulation. The existing air/water dispenser is located in a similar location and has not proven to be a detriment to the surrounding area. Finding H. The project possesses compensating design and development features that offset impacts associated with modification or waiver of standards. Facts in Support of Finding 1. The Project will enhance the appearance of the Property with updated and improved landscaping that is required to be consistent with the Zoning Code. The landscaping will provide improved screening and buffering from the public right-of-way. New landscaping will comply with the requirements of the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance ("WELO") set forth in Chapter 14.17 (Water -Efficient Landscaping) of the NBMC, and will not include any invasive plants consistent with Title 21 ("Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan") of the Coastal Land Use Plan. 2. The Property will be developed with an expanded and enhanced convenience store building. The building will be one (1) story and 23 feet and 6 inches high, where the maximum height is 32 feet for flat roofs. The building architecture is designed to provide an attractive appearance that is compatible with the surrounding area with high quality materials and architectural treatments to prevent building monotony. 3. The layout of the Project provides for vehicle maneuverability around the existing fuel dispensers, which are to remain unchanged. The new parking layout will provide sufficient parking spaces and circulation to serve the expanded convenience store. The deviation from the side setback avoids creating a secluded setback area between the building and the alley that is not beneficial to safe or convenient operations of the service station. Finding The overall site plan and architectural design is consistent with the City of Newport Beach Design Guidelines: Automobile Service Stations and Washing. 25-45 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-029 Paae 10 of 21 Facts in Support of Finding 1. The design guidelines do not include any architectural theme. The proposed improvements to the building architecture will provide an attractive modern appearance that is compatible with and complementary to the existing pump canopy and surrounding area. The building elevations reflect architecturally treated wall surfaces to prevent monotony and they will provide visual interest. 2. The strong landscaping features, including four (4) trees at the corner at the intersection of East Coast Highway and Avocado Avenue anchors the corner and provides visual relief from the public right-of-way. Landscaping further enhances the design of the building and buffers the Property from the right-of-way. 3. The landscaping onsite will be improved to comply with the WELD. Irrigation will be updated to drip zone valves where possible to increase water efficiency and no invasive plant species will be planted. Coastal Development Permit In accordance with Section 21.52.015 (Coastal Development Permits) of the NBMC, the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth: Finding: J. Conforms to all applicable sections of the certified Local Coastal Program (LCP) Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The Property is located within the Commercial Corridor Coastal Zoning District. The Commercial Corridor Coastal Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate for a range of neighborhood -serving retail and service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster pedestrian activity. The Project is located at the intersection of East Coast Highway and Avocado Avenue and will provide services for residents of the surrounding area, employees of businesses located within the area, and visitors to the City or traveling through the City. Fuel/service stations and convenience stores are allowed uses within the CC Coastal Zoning District. 2. The Project complies with all applicable Commercial Corridor development standards, including, but not limited to, floor area ratio, parking requirements, and setbacks. a. The maximum floor area ratio allowable in the Commercial Corridor zone is 0.75, or 10,389 square feet for this 13,853 -square -foot lot. The proposed floor area is 1,995 square feet, below the maximum allowed. b. Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) of the NBMC allows for a 0 - foot setback along property lines abutting streets and nonresidential properties. 25-46 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-029 Paae 11 of 21 The Project provides a setback of over 75 feet from East Coast Highway to the convenience market and a 5 -foot setback to Avocado Avenue from the new trash enclosure serving the convenience store. c. Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) requires a minimum of one (1) parking space for every 200 square feet of gross floor area for service stations with a convenience market. In this case, 10 parking spaces are required and provided for the 1,995 -square -foot convenience market. Finding: K. Conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act if the Project is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline of any body of water located within the coastal zone. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The Property is located in Corona del Mar and is not located between the nearest public road and the sea. Section 21.30A.040 (Determination of Public Access/Recreation Impacts) of the NBMC, requires that the provision of public access bear a reasonable relationship between the requirement and the Project's impact and be proportional to the impact. In this case, the Project involves the remodel of an existing convenience market with vehicle service repair bays to be used as a convenience market only, including a 232 -square -foot addition. Although the Project involves a change in intensity from the existing condition, service stations with convenience markets are allowed by right in the CC Coastal Zoning District and the development complies with all other applicable development standards including required parking. The Project is not anticipated to result in a significantly increased demand on public access and recreation opportunities. The Property is located approximately 2,200 feet from Newport Harbor and approximately a 2 mile drive from Corona del Mar State Beach, and does not provide any public access easements. The Project will provide goods and services to the general public supporting access to the coast. 2. The Property is not located adjacent to a coastal view road, public viewpoint, public park or beach, or public accessway, as identified in the City of Newport Beach Coastal Land Use Plan. Furthermore, an investigation of the Property and surrounding area did not identify any other public view opportunities. The Property may be located within the viewshed of distant public viewing areas. However, the Project is located on an inland lot that involves the remodel of an existing single -story building and a 232 -square -foot addition that complies with development standards including height and setback requirements. The Property will be developed with an expanded and enhanced convenience store building. The building will be one (1) story and 23 feet and 6 inches high, where the maximum height is 32 feet for flat roofs. The building architecture is designed to provide an attractive appearance that is compatible with the surrounding area with high quality materials, unique colors, and architectural treatments to prevent building monotony. Therefore, the Project does not have the potential to degrade the visual quality of the coastal zone or result in significant adverse impacts to public views. 25-47 Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-029 Paqe 12 of 21 SECTION 4.

While she preferred a requirement for 30 percent medical office, 20 percent outpatient surgery center, and 50 percent professional office, she could support 50 percent medical office and 50 percent professional office. In the future, the applicant can apply for an amendment to increase medical office if parking is not an issue. Jim Mosher reported the applicant submitted a parking management plan that includes the landscape hedge and signage and suggests parking quotas may be assigned to tenants. The plan is used to justify a parking waiver, but implementing the plan is not a condition of approval. Jim Light supported a 50/50 conversion so that the applicant could increase medical office in the future. Fencing should be installed along the entire length of the parking lot. He wanted the ability to approve plantings and irrigation for the planter located on the property line. Chair Lowrey closed the public hearing. Commissioner Weigand proposed the Commission consider Condition of Approval 10 contained in the previous two packets along with a 50/50 or 60/40 conversion so that the applicant can conduct a parking study to justify an increase in medical office. Commissioner Rosene commented that Commissioners are not suggesting that the applicant cannot return with a parking study to justify an increase. Commissioner Weigand clarified that Condition of Approval 10 provided a ministerial process rather than the public hearing process. Motion made by Chair Lowrey and seconded by Commissioner Weigand to approve the staff recommendation with additional conditions of approval to clarify 70 percent medical office and an associated square footage, install fencing between the two properties, and the applicant to return with a full, updated traffic study to ensure parking is not an undue burden on the adjacent property owners. Substitute Motion made by Vice Chair Kleiman and seconded by Commissioner Koetting to approve the staff recommendation as amended to allow conversion of 50 percent to medical office, include Condition of Approval 10 from the prior two hearings, and require fencing, signage, and clarification of total square footages. Vote on the Substitute Motion: AYES: Kleiman, Koetting, and Rosene NOES: Ellmore, Klaustermeier, Lowrey, and Weigand ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: None Vote on the Motion AYES: Ellmore, Klaustermeier, Lowrey, and Weigand NOES: Kleiman, Koetting, and Rosene ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: None 5. CORONA DEL MAR 76 SERVICE STATION REMODEL (PA2019-027) Site Location: 2201 East Coast Highway Summary: Conditional use permit and coastal development permit to allow the remodel and 232 -square -foot addition to an existing automobile service station and convenience market, to operate as a convenience market only. The application includes a request for deviations from minimum lot size, setbacks for the retail building, the location of the air/water dispenser, and minimum landscaping requirements pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section 20.48.210 (Service Stations). The application also includes the addition of a Type 20 (Off -Sale Beer and Wine) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license. If approved, accepted 6of10 25-59 Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes October 7, 2021 and implemented, this coastal development permit and conditional use permit would supersede and replace Use Permit No. UP1580 that authorizes the existing facility. Recommended Action: 1. Conduct a public hearing; 2. Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential to have a significant impact on the environment; and 3. Adopt Resolution No. PC2021-029 approving Coastal Development Permit No. CD2019-005 and Conditional Use Permit No. UP2019-004. Associate Planner Chelsea Crager reported the applicant proposes to remodel the building, construct a 232 -square - foot addition, and add a Type 20 ABC license for beer and wine sales and offsite consumption. The existing 76 service station includes a small retail component and vehicle repairs. Many of the surrounding uses are nonresidential. The subject property is zoned Commercial Corridor (CC). The current use, including retail and vehicle repairs, was authorized in the 1970s by a use permit. In August 2020, the Planning Commission was scheduled to review the applicant's proposal to demolish the existing structure and construct a two-story convenience store. At the applicant's request, the item was continued. The applicant has proposed a smaller -scale project with a lower height. The project was presented to the Corona del Mar Residents Association (CDMRA), and CDMRA submitted a letter of support. Proposed hours of operation for the convenience store are 6 a.m. to midnight with alcohol sales ending at 11 p.m. and fuel pumps operating 24 hours. The project also proposes modification of service station standards. The project provides required parking of 10 spaces. Walk-in coolers and freezers are not accessible by the public. A proposed condition of approval requires shelving to be positioned so that the sales clerk is visible from outside the building. The maximum height of the architectural feature is 23 feet 6 inches. The maximum allowed height in the CC zone is 32 feet. The building is modulated and articulated to prevent monotony. The CC zoning district requires 0 -foot setbacks along the front, rear, and sides of the property. Service station standards require a 10 -foot side setback for the building and a 10 -foot setback for the air and water dispenser. The applicant proposes a 0 -foot setback for the building and a 4 -foot setback for the air and water dispenser. Based on service station standards, the minimum required lot size is approximately 14,500 square feet. The actual lot size is approximately 13,800 square feet. The applicant requests reductions of standards for perimeter landscaping, landscaping coverage of the total site, and quantity of trees and shrubs. The Police Department has reviewed the application and calls for service in the area of the project site and recommended conditions of approval for an employee training program, no onsite consumption, no sales of single containers or small wine bottles, no exterior advertising of alcohol, security recording, and no alcohol sales between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Staff recommends an additional condition of approval requiring the applicant to secure alcohol after 11 P.M. In answer to Commissioner Klaustermeier's questions, Associate Planner Crager indicated that the applicant proposes to retain the existing legal nonconforming condition. There will be minor changes to landscaping, but the appearance will be quite similar to the existing landscaping. Community Development Director Jurjis explained that the City does not have Design Review. Staff provides feedback and input regarding the design of a project, but the property owner determines the design. The Planning Commission may provide suggestions. In response to Commissioner Koetting's inquiry, Associate Planner Crager advised that the applicant has not provided a materials board. Community Development Director Jurjis clarified that a materials board is required for new development. The project before the Commission is a remodel. In reply to Vice Chair Kleiman's query, Associate Planner Crager related that the applicant is not requesting exceptions to all service station standards. Commissioner Rosene and Vice Chair Kleiman disclosed meetings with the applicant. Commissioners Klaustermeier and Secretary Ellmore disclosed no ex parte communications. Commissioner Koetting disclosed a conversation with the applicant and two site tours on his own. Chair Lowrey disclosed a meeting with the applicant in 2020 and a recent conversation with the applicant's consultant. Commissioner Weigand disclosed a conversation with the applicant's consultant and a meeting with the owner. Chair Lowrey opened the public hearing. 7of10 25-60 Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes October 7, 2021 Hamid Kianipur, the applicant, advised that his vehicle repair business is no longer viable and proposed a convenience store to replace the repair business. Scott Peotter, the applicant's representative, indicated that a service station has been located on the site since the early 1950s, and the site was improved in 1972. He reviewed the original 2019 proposal and subsequent modifications. The current proposal does not include a second story or 7 -Eleven branding. The current design is more consistent with the neighborhood. Parking has been improved and includes accessible spaces. Landscaping will be replaced with drought - tolerant vegetation. The building now has a pedestrian scale. In response to Commissioner Koetting's questions, Mr. Peotter related that glass will not be inserted into the steel eyebrow but may house LED lighting. The entry element can be raised. The wall along the alley is in good shape. Associate Planner Crager stated that the license allows the sale of beer and wine only. Mr. Kianipur related his willingness to change signage. He advised that he will operate the market and offer premade sandwiches. Additional exterior lighting is acceptable. Commissioner Koetting suggested the applicant reduce the width of the driveway, extend the landscape triangle, designate the driveway as exit only, and relocate the air and water dispenser. In reply to Commissioner Weigand's query, Mr. Kianipur noted that the sale of single containers and small wine bottles is prohibited and indicated his willingness to amend the hours for alcohol sales. Mr. Peotter suggested the Planning Commission provide the Police Department with discretion to review alcohol sales after a year. In answer to Commissioner Rosene's inquiry, Mr. Kianipur explained that the proposed colors for the building have remained the same since 2019. The service station will be branded for Shell, and Shell may require different colors. In response to Secretary Ellmore's questions, Mr. Peotter characterized the style of Corona del Mar as eclectic and pedestrian in scale. The style of the project is modern contemporary. Secretary Ellmore preferred neutral colors consistent with the village. Mr. Peotter clarified that the size of the red ribbon will be about 18 inches, and the height of the architectural element at the entryway is approximately 23 feet 8 inches. Secretary Ellmore expressed concern about alcohol sales between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. In reply to Commissioner Kleiman's queries, Mr. Kianipur advised that he purchased the business in 2003 and has not made any improvements. Currently, the convenience store sells sodas, water, chips, candy, and other small items. Typically, 7 -Eleven stores are open 24 hours, but he was willing to reduce the hours of operation. In response to the community's opposition, he decided not to partner with 7 -Eleven. Mr. Peotter added that the main differences between the original and current proposals are the size and design of the building. Mr. Kianipur advised that he agrees to the proposed conditions of approval. In reply to Vice Chair Kleiman's questions, Police Civilian Investigator Wendy Joe reported calls for service to Korker Liquor and Papa's Liquor were relatively low probably because they were not brand names. Stores such as 7 -Eleven and Circle K are associated with more police activity probably because they are open 24 hours. Direct comparison of stores is difficult, but the Chevron station on Jamboree is probably the most similar to the proposed convenience store. The Police Department anticipates calls for service to the project site will double if alcohol sales are allowed. The Police Department recommended no alcohol sales after 11 p.m. because the number of alcohol-related crimes and DUI citations increases after 11 p.m. The Transportation Center is experiencing a heavy population of homeless people, and the combination of proximity to the Transportation Center and alcohol sales is a concern for the Police Department. Korker closes at 9 p.m. Rite-Aid has an alcohol license. The Police Department wishes to support the applicant's efforts to operate a successful business but prefers to prohibit alcohol sales after 9 p.m. The difference in calls for service between Circle K and Korker is probably the result of the stores' locations. In answer to Secretary Ellmore's inquiries, Police Civilian Investigator Joe stated Circle K was located adjacent to a liquor store before it closed. With Korker closing at 9 p.m. and the proposed project ceasing alcohol sales at 11 p.m., there will be an increase in calls for service. The number of alcohol-related crimes is low in the morning hours. In response to Commissioner Koetting's queries, Police Civilian Investigator Joe noted that the Shell station located at Jamboree and San Joaquin was not listed in the report but is located near residences. 8of10 25-61 Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes October 7, 2021 In reply to Commissioner Weigand's questions, Police Civilian Investigator Joe agreed that the 7 -Eleven on Superior had a large number of calls for service. Locking one of the entry doors would be preferable but may be prohibited by the Fire Code. If the market remains open after alcohol sales cease for the day, a plan to lock coolers and block the view of alcohol products needs to be developed. Inspections occur on a regular basis. Associate Planner Crager added that most stores lock the coolers and/or cases containing alcohol products. In answer to Vice Chair Kleiman's inquiries, Police Civilian Inspector Joe was not aware of an armed robbery at Korker. Cynthia Hollern remarked that the community has not had adequate opportunity to review the project because of the closure of City Hall due to the pandemic. The current project is significantly different from the original project. She suggested a continuation of the item so that the community can review the project and engage with staff and the applicant. She objected to the proposed hours of operation and the building design and expressed concern regarding potential impacts on pedestrian traffic and the lack of police presence during night hours. An unidentified speaker expressed concern that alcohol sales between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. will increase calls to the Police Department. Neighbors around the project site are not requesting another convenience store. Mr. Peotter noted that the Police Department does not segregate calls for service by census district. A call for service at a particular address does not mean that the address has caused the call. Chair Lowrey closed the public hearing. In answer to Vice Chair Kleiman's query, Community Development Director Jurjis reported the use permit runs with the land, and the Planning Commission has no control over the business owner selling the business to a 7 -Eleven. Assistant City Attorney Summerhill advised that the Planning Commission has some discretion regarding project design. Commissioner Weigand proposed alcohol sales cease at 9 p.m. and a review by either the Planning Commission or the Police Chief and Community Development Director in a year. Prohibiting sales after 9 p.m. will be consistent with Korker's closing. Commissioner Koetting noted that Condition of Approval 18 accepts the hours of operation for opening and closing and liquor sales. Commissioner Rosene concurred with closing alcohol sales at 9 p.m. and recommended the applicant modify the building colors. In answer to Commissioner Klaustermeier's inquiry, Assistant City Attorney Summerhill indicated the Commission may require the applicant to work with staff regarding design. Secretary Ellmore concurred with Commissioner Klaustermeier's comments. Vice Chair Kleiman sympathized with the applicant's need to improve his business model and expressed concern regarding approval of an additional alcohol license in the area. The applicant's failure to improve the property in almost 20 years is another concern. The current proposal is essentially the same as the original proposal. Motion made by Secretary Ellmore and seconded by Commissioner Weigand to approve the staff recommendation with amendments to cease alcohol sales at 9 p.m., require the applicant to work with staff regarding building design, and allow a review of the project with the Police Department or the Community Development Director in a year. In answer to Commissioner Koetting's question, Commissioner Weigand related that the market's closing time would be midnight. 9of10 25-62 Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes October 7, 2021 AYES: Ellmore, Klaustermeier, Koetting, Lowrey, Rosene, and Weigand NOES: Kleiman ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: None IX.

On Avocado Avenue it is noted that the tree wells are proposed to be 3' x 3' square. This is quite sniall for the trees that we would be requiring there; therefore, ' I would recommend a 4' x 4' square. This will still give ample sidewalk room for pedestrian travel. Also, trues will be installed in those wells in accordance with PB & R specifications, by the developer, or he may deposit a check with the City of Newport Beach for $27.50 for each tree required and the City will bring out the trees and plant, stake and initially water them in. If possible, we would also like to see the landscape plans for the planters adjacent to the existing building to the east, in order to give some recommendations to the material that is planned for that area. Alsoy if the trees on Avocado are planted by the developer, there will be a $3,00 inspection fee for each tree installed. Trees are already existing on the Pacific Coast Highway, so we have no -requirements for that area. tcc nnnt�L) i\ Z M 25-78 ,', 1 ° ► �4,,:.

The applicant currently operates the gas station with a 1,701 square foot auto service and convenience store facility which closes by 10:00 p.m. The proposed expansion is a 4,025 square foot two-story building which will include a 1,995 square foot convenience store. Statistical Data and Public Convenience or Necessity_ Business and Professions Code §23958.4 finds "undue concentration" for an applicant premises in two ways: 20% higher crime with an alcohol nexus in a Reporting District as compared to the City-wide average, or an over saturation of alcohol licenses in a census tract compared to the county. When undue concentration is found to exist, a judgment on Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) is required. However, there is no definitive or uniform guideline defining the application of PCN. The final determination of PCN for a Type 20 license falls to the City of Newport Beach and its Police Department. Crime Statistics The Police Department divides the City into areas referred to as Reporting Districts. This allows the Police Department to create statistical data, as well as better communicate officer locations while policing. The proposed applicant location is within Reporting District (RD) 44 which is located within Corona Del Mar. Per Business and Professions Code §23958.4, the Police Department is required to report offenses of criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, theft, and motor vehicle theft (all Part 1 crimes), combined with all arrests for other crimes, both 25-87 76 Gas Station UP2019-027 felonies and misdemeanors (except traffic citations) to ABC. These figures make up the "Crime Count" which is indicated on the attached statistical data form. This reporting district is reported to ABC as a high crime area as compared to other reporting districts in the City. The RD's Crime Count is 306, 144% over the City-wide crime count average of 125. Since this area has a 20% greater number of reported crimes than the average number of reported crimes as determined from all crime reporting districts within the City, the area is found to have undue concentration. In comparison, neighboring RD 39 is 212% above the City- wide average, RD 42 is 61 % lower, and RD 43 is 57% lower. The highest volume crime is burglary/theft from automobiles and the highest volume arrests are drug-related offenses. DUI, Public Intoxication, and liquor law violations make up 17% of arrests in this reporting district. In comparison, the figure for neighboring RD 39 is 16%, RD 42 is 47%, and RD 43 is 17%. This location meets the legal criteria for undue concentration as it relates to crime. (B&P §23958.4). Alcohol License Statistics: The applicant premise is located within census tract 0627.01. This census tract has an approximate population of 2,800 residents with twelve active retail alcohol licenses. Specifically, B&P §23958.4 requires a comparison of off sale licenses. There are currently two off -sale licenses in this census tract. Korker Liquor, located directly next door to the applicant premise, and Johndrow Vineyards, an internet-based company located in a residence. The per capita ratio of off -sales licenses in this census tract is 1 to 1400. Per the Business and Professions code, we compare this per capita ratio to Orange County's per capita ratio of 1 off sale license for every 1597 residents. Since the area's ratio exceeds the ratio of off sale retail licenses to population in the county, the area is deemed to have an undue concentration of off sale alcohol licenses. This location meets the legal criteria for undue concentration as it relates to over saturation of alcohol licenses (B&P §23958.4). Adjacent census tract 627.02 is also located within Corona Del Mar and has an additional six off -sale licenses. Those licenses include Gallo's Italian Deli, Rite-Aid, Papa's Liquor, Mother's Market (formerly Smart and Final), Newport Wine and Spirits, and Cellar to Table (online sales only within a residence).

A decision that this business is a public convenience or necessity must be made in order for ABC to issue a new alcohol license. This is demonstrated when the business operation provides some kind of benefit to the surrounding community. Approval of a use permit will indicate that the City of Newport Beach finds the business is a public convenience or necessity. The Police Department will be required to provide ABC with a written determination of that decision. Below is a photo of the applicant's proximity to the adjacent liquor store, Korker Liquor which closes Monday through Friday at 8:30 p.m. and is closed Sundays. The proposed convenience store will replace the service garage. 1L 1 Q U Q -! 25-90 76 Gas Station U P2019-027 As indicated in the above calls for service table, convenience stores and gas stations with alcohol sales and late hours create an increased burden on police resources. Should the project application be approved, the Police Department recommends alcohol sales cease at 11:00 p.m. daily and no single packaged alcoholic beverage sales be permitted as these conditions may mitigate the potential for an increased burden on police services and quality of life concerns for the neighborhood. The Police Department also recommends a video recording system with a 30 -day retention be required. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Should this project be approved, the Police Department has determined the following conditions would be appropriate for the business' 1 The applicant shall comply with all federal, state, and local laws, and all conditions of the Alcoholic Beverage License. Material violation of any of those laws or conditions in connection with the use is a violation and may be cause for revocation of the use permit. 2. All owners, managers and employees selling alcoholic beverages shall undergo and successfully complete a certified training program in responsible methods and skills for selling alcoholic beverages within 60 days of hire. This training must be updated every 3 years regardless of certificate expiration date. The certified program must meet the standards of the certifying/licensing body designated by the State of California. The establishment shall comply with the requirements of this section within 60 days of approval. Records of each owner's manager's and employee's successful completion of the required certified training program shall be maintained on the premises and shall be presented upon request by a representative of the City of Newport Beach. 3. No alcoholic beverages shall be consumed on any property adjacent to the licensed premises under the control of the licensee. 4. No alcoholic beverages shall be sold between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. 5 Patrons shall be required to show valid identification to verify age at the point of sale for alcohol. 6.

Dear City Council, Thank you so much for your kind attention to this matter. My husband and I live in Irvine terrace in CDM. We were hoping that the proposed changes to the 76 station on the corner of Avocado and PCH could be addressed by the city council before moving forward. It is my understanding that it was approved by the planning commission. This pause that we seek would allow other residents that will be impacted by this project to be informed. We believe that a great deal of residents were opposed to this project just over 6 months ago . At that point, the owner of the land and station agreed to rework his proposal to make it more community friendly. In looking at the resubmitted proposal we don't see that much has changed. We still believe that it would negatively impact our neighborhood, add traffic (in an already congested area of PCH), cause traffic safety issues, and be a magnet for vagrancy since it is located in close proximity to the bus station. If you would kindly pause this proposal and allow a bit more time for our neighbors to be informed of what will greatly impact them, we would be grateful. Thank you Kindly, Doreen Curci Chandler 25-96 Received After Agenda Printed October 12, 2021 Mulvey, Jennifer Non -Agenda Item From: City Clerk's Office Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2021 12:27 PM To: Mulvey, Jennifer; Rieff, Kim Subject: FW: Corner 76 station Corona del Mar into mini mart/7-11 From: kurt mcelroy <kurtmcelroy@yahoo.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2021 12:26:32 PM (UTC -08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada) To: City Clerk's Office <CityClerk@newportbeachca.gov>; Dept - City Council <CityCouncil@newportbeachca.gov> Subject: Corner 76 station Corona del Mar into mini mart/7-11 [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

I am all for business development in our community but I'm not convinced adding a late night convenience store that makes its revenues off of selling liquor and lottery tickets and accepts food stamps is what our community is lacking.

I am most definitely opposed to the development proposed at the corner of PCH and Avocado. I have lived one block away from that corner for 50 years. During that time , traffic has increased immensely, and many serious accidents have occurred there. Do you really think that the addition of such a proposed project will be beneficial in any way. Among numerous detrimental problems this project would include, one that would be so inconsistent with the atmosphere of Corona Del Mar would be so unacceptable.

I have been a resident of Corona del Mar since 1965. 1 don't need to tell you what a change I have seen. Most of it has been good or at least not detrimental to the community. The planning commission has lost all sense of reality when they approved a MiniMarket type business to replace the 76 station. You don't have to rack your brains to realize what a MiniMarket turns into. I'm certain you have been inundated with all of the very negative aspects of a MiniMarket so please consider all of those at a sterile setting of a brightly lighted vagrant attracting business that would probably be open from six in the morning to midnight.

There are many aspects of the plan that are of concern that will result in health and safety risks to the nearby neighborhood. As a parent of young children that walk this block I'm concerned and recommend the approval be appealed. The late hours of operation and potential for additional alcohol sales so close to the city park in our neighborhood is not necessary and will create safety concerns and diminish property values. Also, the intersection is already dangerous. Has there been a traffic study? Thank you for your time.

Chelsea, I want you to know that I'm 68 years female and I have lived in Corona Del Mar since I was 23 years old. I'm a resident of Shorecliff from the late 1994. I've been a extremely loyal customer of this gas station most of my life. In fact I don't buy my gas anyway else I believe in keeping our tax money in the community. Needless to say I know the owner of the gas station doesn't even know who I am but his employees do. We don't need a 7-11 in our community it will bring crime and drugs to this area, much more then we already have. It would be easy for anyone who's a criminal to drive to this 7-11 then they have there choice of driving out of the community either down PCH, or Mac Arthur or up to Avocado! Plus he's competing with his neighbor. I feel if he had upscale mini deli market that neighbors would actually go there to pickup quick & good quality of food but he can't have what his neighbor is selling. We don't need more booze in this town. I'm extremely concerned about the crime & drugs that would filter through this 7-11. They are know for this. I think it's a wonderful gas station but we need to keep the individual charm that Corona Del Mar offers to all of us.

Chelsea, it has come to my understanding that a 7-11 store has been proposed for the corner of Avocado & PCH - I'm assuming where the current gas station is located. My husband & I live in Irvine Terrace and would see the 7-11 coming and going every time we enter or leave the neighborhood. It has always been my understanding that CDM has avoided large chain operations with flashy signage to maintain the quaint, beachy feel that makes our community attractive and unique. A 7-11 would be a major departure from that. Additionally, I am familiar with a 7/11 at the corner of 17th Street and I believe Irvine Ave. and everytime I'm in that little strip center it is very evident that the 7-11 has seedy looking characters hanging out in front. We already have a homeless problem in our community and I believe a 7-11 would be an attraction to them. I am hoping that the city council blocks the proposed 7-11 and that you have heard enough from the community to support that position. Thank you for your consideration.

We already have the Korker liquor store next door to the proposed site, why would we need another liquor store?? This would add to the homeless problem which we can't seem to get a handle on, so it would be another place for them to congregate.

My opposition is not to having a 7-11. My opposition has to do with all of the variances they are asking for. Liquor license right next door to a very established store, Korkers. We don't need 2 side by side. Cutting down setbacks, parking, & in/out driveways are just some of them. But if you allow lots of variances for one property, it'll will set a precedent for the the next and the next, etc. Yes, the rendering looks OK. But they want to put up 2 stories, where there is only one, and that adds to the loss of open space feeling, as well as a "neighborhood" store feeling.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing on behalf of the news of a potential 7-11 on PCH in Corona Del Mar, at the gas station located next to Korker Liquor. The small city is one that is quaint and of quality merchants. The residents in the neighborhood and surrounding areas support their businesses because of their relationships and for their service they provide the community. Turning the gas station into a 7-11 would clearly devalue the city, and will very likely attract more unwanted transients, adolescents and serve as hang-out into our local area.

Dear Secretary Kleiman and Associate Planner Crager, I hope you and your families are doing well amidst the COVID pandemic. My family appreciates how much the City of Newport Beach has done to contain the spread. My name is Cade Huseby and my mom lives at 420 Acacia Ave. I'm a USC student but I have been staying at my mom's home since March. Throughout my time in quarantine, I fell in love with Newport Beach all over again. Among the aspects of our beautiful town that have a large role in that, the small businesses that persevere and serve the community really create a sense of community and home for me. As I go to USC, most of my surroundings are extremely overdeveloped, commercial buildings that draw crowds and suppress small businesses. As you can probably imagine, living here in Newport Beach these past 6 months has been a breath of fresh air, reminding me of the humanity that comes with local community and supporting small businesses, along with beautifully executed city planning. I am reminded of how truly fortunate we are to have a city council that props up the small business that make this town feel like a community and a home. One of the most important small businesses that makes Newport Beach so special to me and my family, and so many other locals, is Garen Yegenian's Korker Liquor located at 2229 East Coast HWY Corona Del Mar, CA. My family is heartbroken over Project File PA2019-027 that proposes allowing a 7-11, 24-hour convenience store to open directly across the side street, effectively putting Korker's out of business. We would be extremely disappointed in the city council for allowing this to happen. This 7-11 threatens the longstanding history of a family-owned business that has served our community for 60 years. If you allow the construction of this 7/11, you are telling the entire community that local business is nothing but a pawn to be played with for profit. And it's not just our town. Please see this google link that showcases a nationwide outrage over the reputation of 7-11 and the undermining effects these types of stores cause to the heartbeat of their communities: https://tinyurl.com/yyp3pypx Thank you so much for reading my message and I believe in this city council to continue to do the right thing: champion small businesses like Korker's & resist outside pressure to construct the adjacent 7/11.

Hello, I am a resident of Irvine Terrace for the last 20 years. One of the beautiful things about living here in Corona Del Mar is how charming and quaint the village is. Our homes, whether original construction or new remodels, are of high value. The last thing we need or want to see here is a 7-11 and all that comes with it. Korker Liquor is right there next to the proposed building. We don't need another store of that type on that corner. A store like 7-11 doesn't fit in with the charm of this area. There will surely be an increase in homelessness, as there always is around a 7-11. And given that it's open 24 hours, there's no telling how bad it will get. There are always homeless or other people just hanging around outside. That often leads to criminal activity. And loitering is not something we want to see when we're living and PAYING FOR a house that costs millions of dollars. Increased traffic will be an entirely different issue. That area at MacArthur backs up now without adding a convenience store. Please understand, this is a very bad idea to add a 7-11 convenience store at that location in our little town. And none of the residents will be happy about it. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello CdM City Council/Planning Commission, I am reaching out to express that my family and I are more opposed to the proposed 7-11 on PCH in CdM. We are not really just worried about it taking too many customers from Korkers, but from all of the non -chain general/liquor stores in CdM, as 7-11 seems more likely to pop up first on a GPS program and divert people from all over CdM. We like less chains in CdM too, it's just so nice to live somewhere with booming different local small businesses, though we know it is getting harder for them to survive here anyway. That said, if it is approved, we think it shouldn't be allowed to stay open later than the other gas station and general stores in CdM to keep the same daytime town, peace at night vibe, and should be required to keep the 7-11 clean as possible. Even our great social evening restaurants like Gulfstream close by Spm. We know we don't know all the details about this planning though, and trust you to make the best decisions for CdM.

Hi Chelsea, Allowing a 7-11 to be built on the corner of Avocado and PCH does not serve in the best interest of the community and the City of Newport Beach planning commission should disallow this request. I have been a resident of Corona Del Mar for over 15 years and have seen the traffic increase very exponentially in the time period. On many occasions it takes 15 to 20 minutes from Poppy to reach Avocado and/or Marguerite traveling Northbound. It becomes increasingly dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists, drivers making left turns and cars trying to merge into traffic. A convenience would only increase the risks of accidents and injuries. We presently have surrounding liquor stores, deli 's , food store chains, markets and drugstores that offer much more than a 7-11 store. The late store hours of operation many times can lead to loitering, loud noises and a disregard for keeping the grounds clean and safe. The loitering can also increase the threat of crime and vandalism. This is not a positive addition to the community and should not be permitted.

Hello Mr. Herdman and Ms. Crager- I'm emailing you today to register my opposition to the proposed 7/11 at the corner of PCH and Avocado. Here are my reasons for opposing: 1. It will bring a higher rise in crime to our city as shown by historical evidence. 2. It doesn't fit with the character of our CdM village. We have historically been a quaint village of independent Shops and restaurants. It's a walking town - not a road trip drive through town. 3. 7/11's are open 24 hours which oftentimes attracts persons out in the middle of the night doing who knows what, drunk, disrespectful of the neighborhood etc. 4. I've lived next to a 7/11 in the past and it was constantly an area where non-residents hung out, trash was left and foul language was often heard. 5. Korker's Liquor store is right next door, and then there's 3 other liquor stores in CdM. And a fully stocked Rite Aid and a Smart and Final are right down the street. Do we really need another "store". 6. It will increase traffic in an already impacted area of our city. That intersection is tricky already. Please vote NO and do not proceed with lowering the standard of our great city.

Good Afternoon Chelsea, We live on Chubasco Drive in Irvine Terrace and our family have been here since 1962. As you know traffic in Newport Beach has been constantly increasing for years. The Avocado/PCH corner has always been a very busy intersection and the 7-11 proposed to replace the 76 station would not be a welcome addition to the area due to increased congestion and alcohol sales. There is already the Korker liquor store next door which also serves as a convenience store. I also oppose adding chain stores to the city anywhere as we already have more than we should. Please forward our thoughts to the planning commission for their consideration.

Hi Chelsea, I have another question for you and the city. How can he sell food out of this gas station? I'm sure that after 50-60 years of selling gas that their has been gas that's leaked into the ground water. I do know from past experiences that this happened to my family and we only had 1 pump at my husband office in Santa Ana on Segerstrom. We wanted to sell the land and had a buyer and it was going to be used for storage for the Performing Arts in Costa Mesa. Well the sell didn't happen and it took us over 7 years and close to million dollars to clean up the land. What does the EPA say about this situation? I think this is bigger then a approval from our City. Best, Valaree Wahler "Gratitude opens the door to the power, the wisdom, the creativity of the universe. You open the door through gratitude."

Dear Ms. Crager: I am against the construction and operation of the 7 -Eleven proposed for the corner of Pacitic Coast Highway and Avocado in Corona del Mar. I am most concerned with the increase in traffic and congestion the development will generate. I am also concerned with the volume of the structure, oversized for the lot size, and the appearance of the proposed structure. I expect the project to result in an increase in parking demand in an area that is already crowded along PCH as well as along Avocado. Avocado in particular is a challenge as so many residents along that avenue use street parking.

Planning Commission: I do not favor the proposed 7 -eleven store. We don't need added convenience. We have the traditional Korker for that and we have a 76 gas station for convenient fill -ups. We also have a market across the street at CDM Plaza. A 30 foot, high profile glassfront building constructed on this corner of PCH and Avocado which serves as a residential entrance street - would look grotesque and the business activity alone would create unnecesary stop park & go car doors and engine noise. An element of danger: Cars exiting Avocado and waiting at the PCH signal are frequently jammed up . The new proposal would only add more cars, noise, and confusion we do not need, and the potential for accidents. Recently while driving home from Bristol Farms about Spm on Avocado, 60 feet ahead of me was a stopped car at PCH facing the wrong way on Avocado, headlights right at me (head on). He sat there on the wrong side of divided Avocado - and with his left turn arrow blinking ! After the light changed, I made a left turn onto PCH to get out of his way. Other drivers advancing upon him, began to drive around him. If he had executed a left turn from there, it would have been serious. This kind of situation could and will occur again with added traffic. Distractions that brightly lit storefronts and tall illuminated signage produces. Pedestrians at night on foot at this intersection only add to the potential for dangerous accidents in my opinion. I plan to sign the petition at Korker tomorrow morning (Wednesday) when they open. I hope you will allow some time tomorrow for others to sign before you collect them.

Box 7099 Newport Beach, CA 92658 August 11, 2020 Erik Weigand, Chair City of Newport Beach Planning Department 100 Civic Center Drive Newport Beach, CA 92660 Re: Project File PA2019-027 Application 2201 East Coast Highway; Corona Del Mar, CA Dear Chairman Weigand and Planning Commission; As property owners of the adjacent liquor store property (Korker Liquor) I wish to lodge a formal letter against the application for replacement of the automotive service station (1,735 square feet) with a new convenience store (2,400 square feet) with a total building of 4,025 square feet, with off sale beer and wine. I am concerned about this application for a number of reasons: 1. That we are in census tract #062701 that permits one (1) ABC off sale (type 21, Liquor, Beer and Wine) license (Korker has been there since the 1950's) there has already been one PCN granted to allow an additional off sale type 21 (Liquor, Beer and Wine) double the permitted allowance, and this application is for another off sale store (type 20, off sale beer and wine) that would be literally 20 feet from the front door of an existing store. Another new liquor store has been granted a license at 3537 E Coast Highway; Corona Del Mar 2. My tenant, Garen Yekenian, would not survive a reduction of his sales volume. The sales volume has been relatively flat over the last 15 years at $60,000 per month, he works open to closing and is supporting his widowed mother (his hours are shorter than what is proposed with this application for the Union 76 Gas Station). Garen is Closed on Sundays, in response to requests from residential neighbors (Papa's Liquor is open till 2 am down the street) 3. Korker Liquor has not had a call/incident in over 15 years (no sales to minors, no DUI, no code violations, etc.) 4. Per the plans that I have seen, the gas station applicant is going to require a variance for parking versus the square footage requested, and a variance for the radius for exiting the existing gas pumps vs proposed parking spaces. Over the years, we have had 2 separate "accidents" that customers have "hit the gas" instead of the brake, and hit the Korker building. I see larger vehicles and a very tight ingress and egress. 5. Per the plan that I have seen, parking spaces 4 and 5 on the plan are located over the existing gas tanks, proposed parking spaces 6, 7 and H/C 8 could not enter or exit during the delivery process. How is this going to work for his fuel deliveries? 6. 1 object to the trash being proposed adjacent to Korker's front door, and along the sidewalk of coast highway. This will be dirty, smelly, it will present a hazard for motorists along coast highway for the trash disposal, and an attractive nuisance for dumping. This was to have been moved, but due to COVID I have not seen any updated plans. 7. The drawing of the second floor "storage space" of 1,500 square feet will become additional office space and the entrance is designed for access from the street level, and does not represent the true parking requirements in the submitted calculation. 8. The city of Newport Beach has been cognizant of diversity of businesses, so does the city of Newport Beach really want two liquor stores next to each other, literally 20 feet apart from each other, across from the Corona del Mar Plaza and the entrance to the civic center/library? 25-160 9. Or does the city want a new 7 -Eleven next to a vacant mid-century building in front of the Corona Del Mar Plaza? 10. What is the plan for loading and unloading of deliveries? This plan puts additional truck loading and unloading on coast highway, in front of Korker, for this new store. 11. The proposed architecture is very modern and out of character for the Corona del Mar community Please, I respectfully request denial of the Convenience Market/ 7 -Eleven at 2201 E Coast Highway. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

I do not support the redevelopment of the 76 Gas station on Pacific Coast Highway to a two story 7 & 11 convenience store. This is not "On Brand" with CDM or Bren's redo of CDM Plaza across the street. The proposed type of operation has the potential to to worsen the recent pan handling issues and homeless problem at the transportation center and could attract and support future Protestors. The majority of my friends think this will increase traffic, increase non residents loitering along Coast Highway and provide late night shopping. This is just not "On Brand" with CDM. If it's a small type of snack operation with no alcohol, including beer and wine similar to the Mobile gas station at Gelson's that is fine. But we do not need another store selling beer and wine in CDM especially since it's right next door to Korker, an existing Liquor store. Please do not ruin our City by approving a two store building at that site.

Dear Chelsea & Hamid, Thank you for the chance to comment on the proposal for the 76 Union station at PCH and Avocado. I'm very sympathetic to the challenge of finding the right project to meet the owner's business requirements and the needs of the Village. I've lived in Corona Del Mar for more than 40 years and have been so glad Hamid's station was there to take care of some of my car's unexpected needs. But I understand how an owner's needs may change overtime. I've also seen changes to the Village over the years but grateful that most changes haven't significantly changed the feeling of this unique place. However, having a 7 -Eleven at the entrance to the Village (or frankly, anywhere in the Village) really does seem to be so inconsistent with its character. I hope there might be an alternative that works for Hamid that doesn't diminish the charm of the Village in the way a 7 -Eleven would - something that fills an unmet need of the Village and proves to be a success for all.

Thanks, Hyla 25-168 August 20, 2020, Planning Commission Item 2 Comments These comments on a Newport Beach Planning Commission agenda item are submitted by: Jim Mosher (iimmosher(a-)-yahoo.com ), 2210 Private Road, Newport Beach 92660 (949-548-6229). Item No. 2. CORONA DEL MAR 76 SERVICE STATION REMODEL AND CONVENIENCE STORE (PA2019-027) I think a significant planning issue connected with this application is whether it is a proposal for gas station with a convenience store as incidental addition, or for a convenience store that happens to sell gas. NBMC Subsection 20.48.210.A.1 allows "Convenience markets" among the allowable "accessory uses to a service station." Subsection 20.70.020.A, in turn, tells us ""Nonresidential accessory use" means a use that is at all times a part of, and clearly incidental and secondary to, a principal use; that does not change the character of the nonresidential use; and that does not necessitate an increase in required number of parking spaces." I am unable to find any analysis in the report or resolution supporting a conclusion that the store, as proposed, will be "clearly incidental and secondary to" the sale of gasoline, or that it will "not necessitate an increase in required number of parking spaces." It is also curious, and unexplained, that there seem to be three architects involved: (1) Scott Laidlaw/Laidlaw Schultz Architects, who is identified as the applicant on page 1 and in the PC 1 Draft Resolution with Findings and Conditions; (2) Scott Peotter/ASLAN Companies, who signed the PC 6 Project Description; and (3) Western States Engineering, whose logo appears on the PC 7 Project Plans. As to the architecture these three entities propose, I don't understand the need for a tall, blocky building when nearly all the second story is shown as open to the first. What is the function of the very tall ceilings in the convenience store? Don't they simply create additional space to uselessly heat and cool? And how are they compatible with the Coastal Act directive to keep manmade development in the Coastal Zone to the minimum required to accomplish its purpose? Likewise, the south elevation (page 165), presenting mostly a tall, blank brick wall (the same as what currently exists but taller?), does not appear to provide a thoughtful transition to the adjacent residential uses. It seems inconsistent with our General Plan Policy LU 5.1.2 (Compatible Interfaces) to "Require that the height of development in nonresidential and higher - density residential areas transition as it nears lower -density residential areas to minimize conflicts at the interface between the different types of development." Logically, it would seem the blank rear wall should abut Korker rather than the alley, but does the location of the fueling canopy prevent that? Finally, in evaluating the impact on public coastal views, did staff consider the views from the second floor of the public library at 1000 Avocado? They look out toward the ocean over this area. 25-169 From: Tom Ridge <toridge@irvinecompany.com> Sent: Thursday, August 6, 2020 4:33 PM To: Crager, Chelsea Subject: 2201 coast hwy [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

We own the house next door to the Gas Station on Avocado and live in Irvine Terrace. We agree that something needs to be built due the alley being so full of trash and hangout for unwanted guests and the parking lot behind Korker is a trash bin. Something is better than nothing being that the gas station is in the middle of our beautiful little town. 7-11 does not seem like the right fit and would be a nightmare of transients and traffic and trash and homelessness. But something in my opinion needs to be built in its place of the current operation.

Dear Chelsea, I would like to voice my opposition to both the proposed design and the use of the 76 gas station as a convenience store. I would appreciate it if you would include my remarks below (and attached as a PDF), along with the other public comments concerning this project. I would also appreciate it if you would confirm receipt of this email! Thank you, Gerry Ross P.O. Box 11508 Newport Beach, CA 92658 gerrvross@gmail.com Attn: Chelsea Crager, Associate Planner, City of Newport Beach I would like to voice my strong opposition to Proposal PA2019-027, for the 76 Service Station remodel and construction of a 7/11 convenience store. I am joined by 43 others listed in the Planning Commissions Staff Report who share my opinion and object to the project, with only 1 individual who is in favor of it. I am sure others will be contacting you to voice their opposition by the time this matter is heard on August 20tH 25-175 While the community favors and enjoys a diverse mix of commercial enterprises within the village, not all businesses are created equal and a 7/11 convenience store is a business that deviates, in its operation, reputation and impact on the neighboring community, from all other types of businesses already established in Corona Del Mar. Moreover, approval of the project will require the issuance of a permit for the sale of beer and wine, which in my opinion is not only redundant and unnecessary (especially since the long established Korker is located immediately adjacent to the subject property), but such approval would only add to the excessive overrepresentation of liquor sales in our community, which already exceeds the County*s ratio of liquor stores per capita by a factor of 3 to 1 and the Police Department has stated in its report is an *oversaturation of alcohol licenses.* We already have several existing businesses in the immediate area for both food and alcoholic beverages: The Korker Liquor Store, Bristol Farms, Smart & Final, Papa*s Liquor, Coast Grab -N -Go, Whole Foods, Gelson*s, 3 Pavilions and a few others that already sell alcohol. Furthermore, after reading the Staff Report, it is apparent that the Planners have gone to rather extreme lengths to recommend approval of this project, by liberally applying exemptions, modifications, waivers of standards, and special considerations to the existing codes and employing some very creative aesthetic interpretations in order to approve this project. First, from an architectural standpoint, the proposed building is a major departure from our community*s look and feel, and a contemporary, 2 -story, white monolithic structure with glass and colored panels is highly inconsistent with our community*s charming, village -style character. I cannot understand how the Planners could possibly find that *The proposed improvements to the building architecture will provide an attractive modern appearance that is compatible with and complementary to the existing pump canopy and surrounding area. The building elevations reflect architecturally treated wall surfaces to prevent monotony and they will provide visual interest. While the design is not a typical design, it will be distinguishable from other service stations found in the surrounding region adding to the unique character of Newport Beach.* Let*s forget about the design*s consistency with the existing pump canopy for a moment; how is the design above possibly complementary to the surrounding area when there isn*t a single example of this type of architecture anywhere in the village, and further, how could the Planners conclude that it provides *visual interest* and *while not a typical design,* it will add *to the unique character of Newport Beach.* Who is asking for such a modern structure, visual interest, or something distinguishable from other service 25-176 stations? Not the residents of Corona Del Mar. I completely disagree that this design adds anything to our community or to the *unique character of Newport Beach,* whatever the Planners believe that may be. In addition, the Planners have concluded in their findings that, *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.* How can the Planners arrive at such arbitrary conclusions when the proposed type of business has never existed on this site? While there has been a gas station on this site since the 1970*s, there has never been a convenience store with the likes of a 7/11, which will undoubtedly increase the traffic counts significantly at Avocado from the many visitors who will not stop for gas but rather to pick up a Slurpy, a Big Gulp, a 6 -pack or a pack of cigarettes. I disagree with the opinion of the City*s Traffic Engineer that *the project is designed to provide sufficient parking and circulationQgiven the existing constraints of the unchanged fuel pumps and driveways.* Apparently, neither the Planners nor the Traffic Engineers have ever visited the site and observed the traffic congestion that already exists from just one or two vehicles attempting to exit the gas station on Avocado, creating backups on that street several times a day, even without a dedicated convenience store on site. Furthermore, a 7/11 on our neighborhood corner is not the type of business we want or need here. One visit to any of the closest 7/11*s on Irvine Blvd. at 17th Street, on Superior at Placentia or on Orange at 17th Street will reveal the types of folks these stores attract. While they may be fine elsewhere, a 7/11 does not belong in our village, which is why we also don*t have tattoo parlors, vape shops or pot dispensaries. Below is a list of the Calls for Service to the Police Department from the subject property during 2019, when just a small number of snacks were offered for sale. I count 8 incidents involving crimes, transients, trespassers, and drug users. 25-177 There were sixteen dispatch events for 2201 East Coast Highway in 2619.

These stores bring with them a host of unintended consequences, such as a special attraction for transients like the ones who appear in the table above. The reasons for this are as follows: 1. The stores are open for extended hours (most are open 24 hours/day). 2. They carry relatively cheap items and a wide assortment of individual foods like pizza, hot dogs, and booze. 3. They accept food stamps for payment. 4. Individuals and groups who frequent these stores choose them to avoid the personal discomfort, embarrassment, or scorn from walking down the aisles of a larger, neighborhood family-oriented grocery store. 5. These folks can loiter inside the 7/11 stores because there is usually only one clerk on duty who cant leave the register to deal with them. 6. They can loiter outside the front entrance or at the gas pumps and remain there to beg for money without recourse for the same reason stated above. Just as concerning is the problem of convenience store crime. How many times have we learned about a robbery at a convenience store that involved the killing of an innocent clerk who fully cooperated with the robber, but who got shot, nonetheless? Here are some facts: 1. Convenience stores have large amounts of cash, low security, few staff members and customers likely to resist, which make them a target. 2. Employees suffer from high rates of workplace homicide, second only to taxicab drivers. Customers can also suffer injury from offender assaults. 3. Late evening to early morning hours carry a greater risk of being targeted because other customers, police, or passersby who might intervene, are not around. 4. Poorly lit gasoline islands and parking lot size increase the chances of a robber selecting a particular store since it is difficult for others to see what is occurring inside. Here the store will be set back far from the street with a bus stop and gas pumps that will obstruct clear visibility into the store. Lastly, regarding the present and ever-growing issue of the homeless and their relationship to this project, the City is still unable to effectively deal with the problem. Two weeks ago, there was a homeless man camped out on the corner of Kewamee and Avocado when my wife and daughter were out for a walk. They were so scared they had to turn back and return home to avoid him. Another homeless man was sitting on the sidewalk behind Golden Spoon and the Bungalow Restaurant one evening last week, begging for money from visitors who were in the rear parking lot, another who was camped out in front of the New Port Theater and who left trash and debris on the property and along the sidewalk, and even more disturbing are the several encounters residents have had with a homeless man who hangs out around Smart & Final and Crown Ace Hardware, who is highly aggressive and violent. All these homeless individuals will likely become frequent visitors to the proposed 7/11. We do not need an unsightly nuisance like this to be built in our neighborhood, which will only serve to negatively impact our quality of life, our personal safety, and our property values.

Hi, I am writing to voice my opinion about the proposed convenience store at the site of the 76 Station. I have no issue with a convenience store there, but an affiliation with 7-11 is a problem. I worked with the former national risk manager of one of the national convenience store chains ((7-11, Circle K etc) and she said that their crime rates were significantly greater than similar operations. I'm sure the reason is their hours, perhaps their product mix. For this reason, I am against any such convenience store. Thank you.

I have a few comments concerning the proposed 7 -eleven on the corner of PCH and Avocado: • Parking — How will the increased parking requirement to accommodate a 2200 square feet retail shop be managed? • Traffic Flow — Avocado was downsized to one lane each direction a couple of years ago to decrease traffic flow and to slow traffic down. A 7 -eleven will significantly add traffic to the area and make one lane traffic flow very cumbersome. • The proposed architecture of the 7-evelen is not consistent with the CDM "Village". • Is it reasonable to allow another convenience store next to an existing convenience store (Corker)? This is a redundancy that should not be allowed. Would we allow another drugstore next to CVS or a hardware store next to Ace? • 7 -elevens are a loitering magnet — especially in the late evenings. I encourage you to not allow this building to move forward. Regards, Nancy Engle VanOtten & Gary W.

Dear ms. Crager have been a resident in Irvine Terrace for over thirty years and I was also the owner of one of the largest gasoline marketing companies in California. Well placed and well designed service stations and convince stores certainly have a place in Southern California communities BUT NOT THE ONE PROPOSED FOR THE CORNER OF PCH AND AVOCADO. The proposed 7 -eleven at the corner of Avocado and Pacific Coast Highway is a very bad idea for three reasons: 1) The street parking on all the surrounding streets, PCH, Avocado, 4th Avenue and Acacia, is already very limited and oversubscribed and the parking on 4th street and Acacia prevents the safe passage by cars traveling both ways and emergency vehicles like fire trucks. Two cars can not pass at the same time. We don't need more traffic and more demand for parking. 2) The needs for gasoline, food and convince items is already well met by the other two service stations in Corona Del Mar, Ruby's and other food service/take-out businesses and the Corker Liquor store and near -by food markets. A 7 -eleven is redundant and unnecessary given existent businesses in the area and it offers no new benefits. 3) A 7 -eleven is out of character with the neighborhood. The city has worked hard to maintain the quality and character of Corona Del Mar and the vendors that have businesses in the community and a two story, 2,2000 square foot 7 -eleven does not fit in. strongly oppose the proposal to build and operate a 7 -eleven and the structure currently proposed to the City of Newport Beach. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Brian Mock 1821 Bayadere Tr.

Dear Ms. Crager, I want to express concern over the proposal to tear down the gas station at PCH and Avocado and rebuild a two story convenience store with liquor sales and office space. Within less than a mile, we already have several liquor stores and Smart & Final/Bristol Farms. Within one block at McArthur and PCH, there is a convenient store located in that gas station. There are two grocery stores and pharmacies close to this location that also sell convenience items. We do not need a second liquor store adjacent to the existing store (Korkers). As a resident owner for over 30 years, I believe this would invite more problematic issues in our residential neighborhood and be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of the city. In addition, this is already a busy intersection. To add additional traffic and office space is not harmonious with the neighborhood. Please do not accept another liquor store and late night convenience store here. This only hurts our current neighborhood and our loyal businesses we love and want to support for their years of service.

Project File No PA 2019-027 Activity No CD 2019-005 UP 2019=004 Dear City Council and Planning Commission In regards to the above mentioned proposed project identified as "Corona del Mar 76 Service Station and Convenience Store" currently scheduled for hearing on Thursday, 8/20.2020 at 630 PM, I respectfully request that the following objection be entered into the record: As a 26 year resident of Corona del Mar I have always been in support of any development that benefits our community. I feel it is important that our community's unique character be preserved while addressing our changing needs. Positive progress after all has been a cornerstone of what makes our country, society, city and community great. The overall question I feel we should be asking is "How will this benefit our community?" I can see little benefit to our community from the proposed project while I can see numerous substantial detriments. First and foremost it has long been known that "Convenience Store", as a category, bring many potential problems to the surrounding community and immediate vicinity. For a number of reasons, convenience stores are often popular targets for a variety of crimes, most notably shoplifting and robbery. So much so that as far back as 1965 the National Association Of Convenience Stores (MACS) commissioned a study to understand the prevalence of robberies in this store format. In some cities, convenience store crime has become such a problem that special task forces have been created or some stores have been completely closed down. American convenience stores are often direct targets of armed robbery. In some areas of the United States, it is not unusual for clerks to be working behind bulletproof glass windows, even during daylight hours. Some convenience stores may even limit access inside at night, requiring customers to approach a walk-up window specifically for such situations to 25-192 make purchases. The main dangers are that almost all convenience stores only have one person working night shift, most of the transactions are in cash, and easily resold merchandise, such as liquor, lottery tickets, and cigarettes are on site. Most convenience stores have a cash drop slot into a time -delay safe so clerks may limit the amount of cash on hand. Many have installed security cameras to help detect robberies and shoplifting. Because of their vulnerability to crime, nearly all convenience stores have a friendly relationship with the local police. To reduce burglaries when the convenience store is closed, some convenience stores will have bars on the windows. The reasons for the higher rate of crime at convenience stores may be attributable to various factors, including: • the small number of employees per store makes it difficult to stop or deter criminals • the extended hours of many convenience stores present more opportunities when few customers and/or witnesses are present • the smaller size of the stores makes it easy for criminals to quickly navigate the floor plan and enter and exit close to the cash registers the majority of purchases are in cash as opposed to electronic transactions, leading to a relatively large amount of cash (often minimally secured) at any point To gain a better understanding of ways to control and deter convenience store robberies, the Southland Corporation, parent company of 7 -Eleven, starting in 1975 invested $2 million in- depth studies of 17,000 convenience store robberies and the individuals most likely to commit the crimes. Why? They discovered that the most important things would-be robbers considered when deciding whether or not to commit a crime were the ease of escape from the store/ surrounding area and how much money they thought the store would have on hand. They also discovered that while the acquisition of money was the most important motivation for robberies, a sense of power or thrill from 25-193 committing the crime was often mentioned as well. The key six points are: (1) Cash control, (2) the clear sight lines, (3) prominent placement of the cash registers, (4) eliminating escape routes so that people cannot stage their car behind a convenience store and then come out and make a quick escape, (5) balanced lighting and (6) employee training. These points became the 7 -Eleven Crime Prevention program which was shared widely throughout the c -store industry. The final element was to tell potential robbers about what you had done. Ray D. Johnson appeared on over 20 Johnny Carson television programs. 7 -Eleven's in-house ad agency, The Stanford Agency, created store signage to educate robbers. Its clear that the location of proposed on PCH and unguarded, un lighted, un gated surrounding community the "Convenience Store" meets all the criteria criminals look for and therefore poses a potential significant risk to said immediate residents And it isn't just what happens inside. An 2016 FBI study showed that "Convenience Stores" were hubs for an increase in crime is as many as 17 different categories including • Vagrancy • Loitering • Drug trafficking / dealing (meeting points) • Alcohol and drug abuse • Vandalism • Underage drinking • Noise complaints So I ask again: "How will this benefit our community?" What community need would this proposed store fill? What Is a Convenience Store? `A convenience store is a retail outlet that sells a limited range ofprepared and ready -to -eat foods, bottled and fountain beverages, household staples, tobacco products andperiodicals. Convenience stores are Opicalysmall in si.Ze, are open extended hours, and, in most cases, are staffed by a relatively small team of cashiers, stock workers, and managers. " Does our community have a need for a convenience store in that particular location given the potential risks? The proposed extended hours of 6AM to 12AM would not serve to benefit anyone in the surrounding community. The needs for the range of items 25-194 carried in a convenience store are already responsibly met by a combination of the Korker liquor store, Bristol Farms, and Smart & Final. We as a community are already dealing with a growing homelessness problem and the associated issues that brings. This particular location has recently had an increased prevalence in vagrancy. A number of residents report instances of aggressive behavior by vagrants, litter, abandoned clothing, shopping carts, and even human feces. In conclusion I am requesting that the application as currently presented be denied. Absent a denial I feel that the City's primary responsibilities toward its residents that the approval be postponed in order that a full Community Impact Study (or whatever form a proper analysis should take) be undertaken. Responsible leadership requires that the consequences vs benefits due diligence be performed. Now more than ever we need intelligent, prudent leadership Sincerely, ALEX BRANA 25-195 From: Tony Garling <tonygarling@road runner.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2020 1:04 PM To: Dixon, Diane; Avery, Brad; Duffield, Duffy; Muldoon, Kevin; Herdman, Jeff; Brenner, Joy; O'Neill, William; Planning Commissioners; Crager, Chelsea Cc: Nona Subject: Corona del Mar 76 Service Station to Convenient Store Proposal [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. > Project File No PA 2019-027 > Activity No CD 2019-005 UP 2019 004 > To Our City Council, > As a homeowner at 620 Acacia Ave in Corona del Mar, I respectfully ask you submit my following objection: > I have lived a block away from the 76 station for the past 32 years.

Dear Ms. Crager, I am firmly opposed to the proposed 76 Station demolition and rebuild as a two-story 7 -Eleven and gas station on the corner of PCH and Avocado. Not only will it be an eyesore at the gateway to our city from MacArthur Blvd. and to the surrounding residential area, but the increased traffic and parking on that busy corner will be a nightmare. There is already a liquor store/mini-mart next door to the service station. Another convenience store seems redundant. A two-story 7 -Eleven would be a travesty. Please keep Corona del Mar the quaint little town it has always been.

Therefore, I find it almost inconceivable that the City would even consider the addition of a convenience store to the already busy corner of Avocado and Pacific Coast Highway, which now houses a multi -pump gas station. Has the City overlooked the fact that a large, family-owned liquor and convenience store (Corker) already operates directly next door to the Union 76 gas station and has been in existence at this location for decades? The corner of Avocado and PCH is an extremely busy intersection which already allows U turns and is subject to heavy foot traffic. It is much like PCH and Bayside Drive where motorists often dangerously jockey for position when pulling into the Chevron gas station and their convenience store. Corker Liquors is flanked by Begonia and Avocado Aves. which are residential areas within 300 feet of the store. We don't need another store there which would certainly increase lighting, parking and loud noise at night and possibly put residents and children at risk with vagrants and homeless people loitering at this location. Therefore, as a former board member with the Corona del Mar Chamber of Commerce, I ask that you deny the proposal in the interest of our community and public safety.

I am abundantly against the proposed plan to build a large two story structure and add a liquor store to the Corona del Mar 76 Gas Station! • The proposed plan does not match and/or improve the charm and aesthetics of the Corona del Mar Village • There is a convenience / liquor store on the same corner ( Korker liquor) - we don't not need another directly next to the established historical bodega. • Proposed hours are too early and too late • Height is too high • Design would be an eye sore for the entrance to Corona del Mar and does not fit the neighborhood / village. • Corona del Mar Village has two bodegas (convenience / liquor stores) in town that compliment our beautiful city - Papas and Korker. We do not need another! • Bayside and PCH have a Gas station with this type of store - we do need a second similar business less than a mile away. • This project will not enhance Corona del Mar residents daily lives.

To - Chelsea Crager. As a citizen of Newport Beach from 1987 1 am disappointed to hear that the planning commission is considering a development permit for a new convenience store at 2201 Coast Hwy in Corona Del Mar. Its my option this has many negative points. -This convenience store will operate 24/7, and being located in a residential area will attract late night activity, and may increase crime. -Presently there is a liquor store at that location (Korker). They have been there since the fifty's. Allowing a convenience store next door, all but puts them out of business. -The type of products that a new convenient store will offer can be bought at several stores along PCH through Newport, and Corona Del Mar. Adding another one to me, is over saturation. Lets don't over commercialize the landscape of these two beautiful cities.

As property owners of the adjacent liquor store property (Korker Liquor) I wish to lodge a formal letter against the application for replacement of the automotive service station (1,735 square feet) with a new convenience store (2,400 square feet, with total building of 4,025 square feet) with off sale beer and wine. I am concerned about this application for a number of reasons: 1. That we are in census tract #062701 that permits one (1) ABC off sale (type 21, Liquor, Beer and Wine) license (Korker has been there since the 1950's) there has already been one PCN granted to allow an additional off sale type 21 (Liquor, Beer and Wine) double the permitted allowance, and this application is for another off sale store (type 20, off sale beer and wine). 2. My tenant, Garen Yekenian, would not survive a reduction of sales volume. The total sales volume of the store has been relatively flat over the last 15 years at $60,000 per month (with inflation, this is actually declining sales volume). Garen works the store open to closing and i supporting his widowed mother (his hours are shorter/number of days less than what is proposed with this application for the Union 76 Gas Station). Garen is closed on Sundays, in response to requests from residential neighbors (Papas Liquor is open until 2 am down the street). 3. At Korker Liquor, since the Yekenian's have been my tenant (for the last 15 years), there has not been acall/incident (no sales to minors, no DUI, no code violations, etc.). Statements about trouble at this location are inflammatory and just plainly not true. 4. The gas station exit/path of travel/radius dimension of 18 feet on the South side see (from exiting the existing gas pumps vs proposed, parking spaces to the coast highway ex tt Over the years, we have had 2 separate "accidents where gas station customers have "hit the gas" instead of the brake, and hit the wall at Korker. I see larger vehicles and very tight ingress and egress. 5. Parking spaces 4 and 5 on the proposed plan are located on and over the existing gas tanks, proposed parking spaces 6, 7 and H/C 8 could not enter or exit during the delive How is this going to work for his fuel deliveries? ry process. 25-204 6. The drawing of second floor "storage space" of 1,500 square feet will become additional office space, and the entrance is designed for access from the street level, and does not represent the true parking requirements in the submitted calculation. 7. 1 object to the trash being proposed adjacent to Korker's front door, and along the sidewalk of Coast Highway. This will be dirty, smelly, it will present a hazard for motorists along coast highway for the trash disposal, and an attractive nuisance for dumping. 8. Does the city of Newport Beach really want two liquor stores next to each other across from the Corona del Mar Plaza and the entrance to the civic center/library? The city of Newport has been cognizant of diversity of businesses, and putting 2 liquor stores, literally 20 feet apart from each other is not a good idea. 9. What is the plan for loading/unloading of deliveries? This plan puts additional truck loading and unloading, on coast highway, in front of Korker for this store. 10. The Union 76 currently has an ATM outside for customer use after 10 pm at night. What kind of traffic does this invite after hours, and so easy on/off coast highway? 11. What is the plan for the used cars that he is currently selling at this location? Did he obtain a CUP for these car sales with his dealership license? Is that also part of the new application? The last ad of Hamid's I saw on Craig's List was for a used 2016 Mercedes Sprinter for sale, showed its location at 2201 E. Coast Highway, Corona Del Mar, and I have the listing and pictures of it on site at the station. 12. The proposed architecture is very modern and out of character for the Corona del Mar community Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Hello, am a longtime resident of CDM, 23 years, and have always love the small town neighborhood feel. That is becoming less and less as the years go on. Please do not add a 7-11 to the mix. Please consider the image of the "village" of CDM. Another liquor store is not needed here. We have tons of grocery, food, drink options. This corner is already a busy one and has seen many near misses. I think a 7-11 would just add more traffic. PCH is crazy in the summer as it is now, don't add more ways to clog it up.

Hi, My name is John Hollern and I live at 1921 Altura Dr, Corona Del Mar, CA 92625. I have lived in Irvine Terrace for 43 years. I am two blocks from the corner of Avocado and Pacific Coast Highway. The idea of a convenience store at this location would increase the problem we have with the homeless in our area, let alone the library and retail stores. The problem magnifies if they are requesting late hours and the selling of liquor. The store will turn into a collection area for the homeless with a built in bed in the form of the bus bench which is there now. I leave for work before 5:00 am and I see people pushing their carts on PCH every day. Last week, an obviously impacted individual was standing in the 2nd lane of PCH in front of Rothchild's just staring at my car as I was driving across to turn on McArthur. I think we have enough issues now without adding to them. I vehemently oppose approving the change from a 50 year old gas station to a franchised convenience store. Thank you for taking the time to read this. John Hollern 1921 Altura CDM 25-216 John Hollern President 310 323 3114 ext. 1 310 324 0914 fax iohn(@butlerbolt.com AS9100 REV.

PUBLIC HEARING ITEM(S) #2 CORONA DEL MAR 76 SERVICE STATION REMODEL AND CONVENIENCE STORE (PA2019-027) Dear Chairman Weigand and Commissioners, We are writing in opposition to the approval of this project: • This project should not be exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15303 under Class 3 (page 273) o The word "small" is used repeatedly in the section and this is not a "small" or minor project. ■ It is a complete replacement of the existing business and structure, and therefore should not be exempt. o From the code: "...where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure." (Emphasis added.) ■ A teardown and replacement is not a "minor modification". The proposal is to put a convenience (with liquor) store adjacent to an existing liquor store (Korker). o Korker store is a very long term (multiple generation), family owned and operated, local institution. o Korker store operates in many respects as a convenience store and is used by many locals as such. o It is very much part of the "local fabric" of CBM. o To approve a very, very similar business adjacent to a local business would be very anti -local business. Whether by design or by happenstance, CBM is mostly devoid of franchise operations such as fast food joints and the like. o This is very good for local businesses. 25-218 o Would you approve a Pickup Stix next door to Thai Del Mar? I have no objection to the applicant replacing the gas station, just to his choice of a replacement business. I would prefer he do a bit more research and find a business that fits in with the village ambiance of CdM and also serves the needs of the residents, his neighbors. A convenience store might serve those driving down PCH on weekends, but would not be a convenience for the residents and neighbors. Please deny the application and help to maintain the character of CdM and Newport Beach. 706'/2 Begonia Ave, CdM 949.274.3226 25-219 From: Lee, Amanda Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2020 8:32 AM To: Crager, Chelsea Cc: Rodriguez, Clarivel Subject: FW: Corner of Avocado and PCH From: Rosalyn Laudati <outlook 6AF70BA53FD43024@outlook.com> Sent: Monday, August 17, 2020 8:57 PM To: Planning Commissioners<PlanningCommissioners@newportbeachca.gov> Subject: Corner of Avocado and PCH [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Commissioners, I would ask that you reconsider the preliminary decision by the Planning Department to approve modifications that would permit a convenience store at the corner of Avocado and East Coast Highway. Here are my concerns: 1. That corner is very busy and has seen numerous accidents over the years as vehicles pull out of East Coast Highway to enter that current location The average speed of cars exiting PCH is well in excess of 50mph. Cars are often backed up on Avocado as vehicles wait to exit that location. Adding a convenience store will only further the congestion. 2. The proposed operating hours are longer than necessary and longer than the current facilities. It is adjacent to a neighborhood with young children that would be impacted by the longer hours. Let's face it, who needs to buy liquor at 11pm or 6am? 3. Adding another facility that services packaged liquor will only compound current drinking and DUI problems in Newport Beach. 4. Convenient stores often have more parking spaces and offer products such as ready to eat meals (e.g. pizza, burritos, etc.) and as result, have more loitering that fosters more crime. They tend to attract a customer base that is seeking quick food and alcohol. There have been studies done that show that convenient stores are more dangerous for both customers and employees than regular service stations. The crimes also tend to be violent. 25-221 5. The project is inconsistent with the goal to improve both the traffic flow and the look and feel of CDM village. Quite frankly, the remodel proposal lacks adequate impact analysis and I am disappointed that the Planning Department has not done a complete analysis of the following: A. Traffic flow - A complete analysis of the impact of increased traffic in and out of the corner especially during peak driving times. B. Noise Impact - A noise analysis as a result of additional loitering and staying times at the location and the impact on the neighborhood. C. Lighting - A lighting analysis to determine if there will be additional lighting impact given the City of Newport Beach's goal to reduce lighting on the surrounding neighborhoods. I think we can all agree that the lighting changes at the corner of CDM Plaza were very negative to the community. D. Crime Impact - An analysis of the potential crime impact of the proposed project given the increase in staying times by customers. There are studies out there about the negative impacts of these stores and I encourage you to do your homework. One thing to consider is that Ruby's is a family oriented restaurant within 100 yards of the proposed convenience store and often has very young children visiting that establishment. The potential for young children to be hurt by the increased crime should be considered in your analysis. I am ambivalent about the impact on Korker's liquor or whether it is a 7-11 franchise. Also, while it is unfortunate that we will lose a service repair facility, I don't think that should be considered in this review. Finally, if you were to move forward, I would ask that you consider the following restrictions: 1. The hours are limited to 7am to 9pm to be consistent with the local businesses in the community. 2. The lighting and decor are subtle and consistent with surrounding commercial spaces. 3. Parking is restricted and limited to 15 minutes parking time to reduce loitering. 4. The police regularly do undercover alcohol testing to make sure that they do not sell alcohol to underage children and that the City of Newport Beach 25-222 implement an aggressive policy to withdraw the owner's liquor license for non- compliance. 5. Do not grant any concessions to current setback or height regulations. They are not necessary and are setting a bad precedent for the City of Newport Beach.

Dear Commissioners, I am addressing the expansion and remodeling plan of the service station and liquor store at the corner of Avocado Ave and PCH. My husband and I own and live at 787 Avocado Ave and have since 1994. We absolutely do not support this project, which would be right across the street from where we live! Corona Del Mar does not need a larger gas station and convenience store in town. It is not a good fit for our community! I know that the Corker Liquor store was robbed this month! The employee was beaten before the robbers drove their getaway car up the main corridor to the freeway! Do you want to make even a bigger invitation to criminals? Avocado Street is already inhabited by most of our city's homeless people. This new project would only create more vagrancy and crime! No, no, no to a bigger gas station and convenience store! CDM has 2 other gas stations in town. The existing service station on Avocado and PCH has been an excellent neighbor! If it closes, we do not need a replacement! We need a business which will add character and class to our community!

Dear City Planners, It has come to my attention that there is an application to the City of Newport to "re -purpose" the Union 76 Station at the corner of PCH and Avocado into a convenience store. As a long-time resident of Irvine Terrace, I know this intersection very well and I am strongly opposed to placement of a convenience store in this location. As you know, the intersection of PCH and Avocado is already a high traffic volume intersection. Approving the addition of a high volume store in this location would further impact this already congested intersection. (There is very little available parking at that location, by the way). Furthermore, it is my understanding that the proposed store hours would be 6 AM until 12 midnight and would have an adverse impact on a very quiet residential community. would like to go on record as being opposed to this project.

Dear Commissioner: I have lived in Corona del Mar in the Irvine Terrace neighborhood for the past 27+ years. I understand you are considering a proposal to build a 7-11 on the corner of Coast Highway and Avocado where the 76 gas station now stands. I would like to express my strong opposition to this for a number of reasons. It will take away from the ever -diminishing charm of our town and probably attract more homeless to the site and most importantly likely put Korker Liquor out of business. Korker Liquor has been there for decades and is now owned and operated by a very hardworking young man who single handedly took over the 6 day a week business after his father passed away. We should be supporting these small businesses in our community especially during these trying times. Thank you for your consideration.

Good morning, As a Newport Beach citizen, I wanted to express my opposition to granting a license for a 7 -Eleven on PCH at the corner of Avocado. Although at this point I've just read commentary from neighbors, it is my understanding that it would be a 24 hour facility. I'm sure that you know that 7 -Eleven has a reputation for attracting an unsavory element unfortunately. I used to live right next-door to that location and the noise from the gas station was very unpleasant and caused us to move. I'm sure that all the other residents that are still there will be even more upset if it is operating 24/7 and various homeless people and other individuals are hanging out. Which they will be if you just drive by any of the other ones in Newport. Or any other town for that matter. As a former social worker I am sensitive to the plight of the homeless and alcoholic; however, having them hang out on a sidewalk or parking lot all day is not helpful to them. Or the neighbors. Sorry to be blunt. It's just true. Please consider keeping this a "mom and pop" type of service station. Or limit who you license to for what is a positive addition to the community.

Honorable Commissioners, I wish to express my objection to the above mentioned 7 -eleven building to be considered at your meeting tomorrow, August 20, 2020. After the last few years of beautifying the business area of Corona del Mar Village very successfully and tastefully, this building would be the welcome to the Village for visitors entering from McArthur Blvd, day and night. This makes no sense at all. It completely degrades the efforts of business owners and our own city council to enhance the overall experience of Corona del Mar Village. I am not a business owner myself, merely a proud resident of Corona del Mar for 40+ years. Considering that we already have 2 liquor stores in town, with a 3rd already approved, that the Riteaid has a very healthy liquor business, as does Smart & Final, it is not needed. Not to mention the increased vehicle traffic. Corona del Mar Plaza has put tremendous effort into the types of stores and dining options in the Plaza, and a 2 story 7 -eleven with an illuminated sign above the roof, would make a mockery of all that effort.

Re: Proposed 76 Gas Station Construction Project As a long time resident of Avocado Avenue in Corona Del Mar I am against allowing this project to move forwards for several reasons: Corona Del Mar is a family oriented community. We take pride in being a walkable family oriented community with a village feel. Corona del Mar has a special enjoyable community feeling and unique esthetics we choose to maintain; abundant greenery, trees and shrubs. Sidewalks and parks and our wonderful beaches. These elements, among other help us keep village feeling in our peaceful community. The proposed project on the corner of PCH and Avocado Avenue is too large for the lot size it is on. This is not the type of use the residents who live and work here want to support. What exactly are the findings they seem minimal compare to other cities. What is unique about this lot and furthermore this project that they don't need to meet code? The building already doesn't meet code for gas station! Why the proposed store needs to be so large? The two existing service bays could be used instead of a new construction of a very large store. Keeping the store in the existing building would not require all these deviations from existing codes. Existing codes keep our neighborhood aesthetically pleasing, peaceful and green. If the property is 13,853 SF and the project requires 15,326 SF, obviously they are trying to build too big of a building, i.e. over building for the size of the Lot Why can't the project redevelop the structure to fit the Lot? 6 feet variances tell us the building would be too big Many of us believe a mini mart at a gas station doesn't fit the profile of the village of Corona del Mar, our neighborhood Doesn't this set a precedent for future development?? 25-236 How could you than deny the next request for a building to large for the site??? Why cant the size of the building be reduced to be able to conform to the size of the Lot, so landscaping that is required by existing codes could be provided? Aren't these so-called variances to the code, in reality are code modifications? Couldn't the elimination of the requested zero setback variance to code be achieved by reducing the size of the structure? The service bays could be incorporated into retail space. This would eliminate an environmentally "dirty" use of the property. Isn't the loss of a 10 feet setback by the alley quite significant? Isn't the loss of traffic circulation arrangement presented actually caused by not relocating the gas pumps? Couldn't the required traffic circulation be achieved by relocating the gas pumps`?? Isn't overbuilding the reason dose cant be met on this project? Isn't not moving the gas pumps negatively impacting the code required landscaping? Cities in California are supposed to reduce greenhouse gases to 1990 levels, how does giving landscape variance to this project not contribute to additional greenhouse gases. Trees help with greenhouse gases and are aesthetically pleasing; doesn't giving a variance from the required 15% landscaping negatively impacts our environment and the beauty of our community? Doesn't giving a variance on planter size on Avocado Ave and East Coast Highway from 5 feet to 4.5 feet also impacts the size and amount of trees that can be installed? A 5 -foot planter allows for a tree to prosper more, 5 feet is the minimum size, is it not for growing a proper tree. Are the total numbers of trees being provided in the landscaping, the number that would be needed for this project? Is there adequate space for landscaping? is there adequate space for trees? Isn't a 10 -foot setback for air and water much better than the 4 foot requested? Couldn't the traffic circulation problem be resolved by a smaller building? I look Forward to your responses to my questions, and to my deep concerns about this project Thank you, Sincerely Donna Kendall 25-237 From: Lee, Amanda Sent: Monday, August 17, 2020 4:53 PM To: Crager, Chelsea Cc: Rodriguez, Clarivel Subject: FW: Proposed Development at PCH and Avocado -----Original Message ----- From: Kathy Huber Hoffman <kathyhoffman@road run ner.com> Sent: Monday, August 17, 2020 4:52 PM To: Planning Commissioners<PlanningCommissioners@newportbeachca.gov> Subject: Proposed Development at PCH and Avocado [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I am responding to a post I saw on Next Door. The owner of the 76 Station at this corner is proposing to expand and put on a retail convenience store - possible a 7/11. Before I comment on how wrong I think a 7/11 would be in CDM, I would like to address the more important issue of the impact such a business would have on traffic at that location. I have a home in Irvine Terrace and approaching that intersection (coming north on Avocado towards PCH) is so narrow with parking on both sides of the street. People wanting to turn left or right onto PCH get stuck behind traffic going straight up Avocado. People pulling out of the gas station onto Avocado end up blocking traffic if they are trying to get in to the far left lane to turn. People coming from the alley below the gas station wanting to turn right onto Avocado have to just sit and wait until the signal changes and people clear out (or until someone is kind enough to let them in). A traffic impact study is not feasible now. With people not going to work and kids not going to school because of this pandemic, the traffic is slightly lighter but when this changes and life gets back to our new normal (including going to work and school) it will all start backing up again. You also have people speeding across this intersection going south on PCH - anyone turning into the gas station better get in there quick or they might get hit. This is definitely a high speed intersection at all hours of the day and night. With a convenience store there, u turns from the left lane turning onto Avocado from northbound PCH will increase - traffic in this turn lane will back up and residents living in Irvine Terrace and this side of CDM might get stuck waiting to turn. I've seen it happen. Last but not least. We have a high end market and shopping center across the street from this corner. Do we really believe a convenience store like a 7/11 or anything similar would be of benefit to our community? Does it fit the image that we want for CDM and Newport Beach when you have Fashion Island right next door? Do we really want a business that has the probability of drawing transients from the bus station up the street? We already have a homeless problem that we are trying to deal with. Why in the heck would we add a convenience store like a 7/11 to the mix. I hope you consider first the impact this will have on traffic at that intersection and second the negative affect a convenience store like a 7/11 will have on our neighborhood. 25-238 Respectfully, Kathleen Huber Hoffman Irvine Terrace 25-239 From: Lee, Amanda Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2020 12:48 PM To: Crager, Chelsea Cc: Rodriguez, Clarivel Subject: FW: Proposed remodel of Union 76 at PCH and Avocado -----Original Message ----- From: Gary Vaughan <thevaughanfamily@icloud.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2020 12:22 PM To: Planning Commissioners<PlanningCommissioners@newportbeachca.gov> Subject: Proposed remodel of Union 76 at PCH and Avocado [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Planning Commission - I write to you on behalf of my family to urge you not to approve any remodel of the Union 76 station at PCH and Avocado that allows a 7-11 to be established there. My wife and I have lived in CDM for over 20 years and have two children, ages 17 and 16. Over the last 20 years, we have seen an increase in bars and establishments that serve alcohol and less family friendly establishments as there were when we first moved to CDM. The addition of a 7-11 to our town will only lessen CDM further. I have lived in cities with 7-11 establishments over the past 53 years, both in Los Angeles and Orange County. They draw people who just loiter outside the store, increase both foot and auto traffic, and in many cases attract more homeless. Just look at the 7-11 locations on the peninsula as well as off Irvine Avenue. We do not need that in CDM. In addition, why would you allow an establishment at PCH and Avocado that sells alcohol when you have Korker's liquor store right next store? Korker's is a long standing, family run, CDM establishment. A 7-11 next store would most likely put Korker's out of business and we do not need another empty store location in CDM as we already have too many. Finally, the owner of the property at PCH and Avocado has done nothing to improve his property over the years. It looks terrible as you head into CDM. If you look at the Chevron across the street or even the 76 station in town, those owners have spent money to improve their properties. This owner should do the same, not try and backdoor an approval for a 7-11 due to his ties to the City. I therefore urge you to reject the idea of a 7-11 at the corner of PCH and Avocado. It is the right thing to do for CDM.

Regarding the proposed remodel of the CDM 76 Station at Avocado and PCH, I would strongly object to the addition of a convenience store, particularly one that sells alcoholic beverages. That intersection is too busy as is and the addition of a convenience store would only make things worse. The quick ingress immediately past Avocado is dangerous as is and increased traffic volume would increase the danger. In addition, the proposed sale of alcoholic beverages would hurt Korker Liquor which has been a part of CDM for decades. If, in fact, it is a 7-11 Store that is the prospective tenant, the architecture would be a blight on the area. I ask you to deny the application as currently submitted.

I have lived in Irvine Terrace for 43 years. I am two blocks from the corner of Avocado and Pacific Coast Highway. The idea of a convenience store at this location would increase the problem we have with the homeless in our area, let alone the library and retail stores. The problem magnifies if they are requesting late hours and the selling of liquor. The store will turn into a collection area for the homeless with a built in bed in the form of the bus bench which is there now. I leave for work before 5:00 am and I see people pushing their carts on PCH every day. Last week, an obviously impacted individual was standing in the 2nd lane of PCH in front of Rothchild's just staring at my car as I was driving across to turn on McArthur. I think we have enough issues now without adding to them. I vehemently oppose approving the change from a 50 year old gas station to a franchised convenience store.

I am a 45 year resident of Corona del Mar and have been a longtime advocate for the community. My family and I are strongly opposed to the 76 Station proposed project at the corner of PCH and Avocado. The size ,scope and aesthetics of the project are out of scale and out of character for our community particularly its location at the gateway to our City Hall and the businesses and residential neighbithoods of Corona del Mar. The applicant has asked for multiple variances for the project which should not be granted under any circumstance... reduced landscaping among them. Despite the inappropriate design there are more important reasons to oppose this project specifically traffic, public safety and crime. The location on PCH and Avocado is at one of the most congested and impactEd traffic intersections in the city and the site of multiple accidents including fatalities. frhe traffic congestion with PCH ,.pedestrian traffic cross= ing an extremely wide highway, permitted UTurns at the corner, dedicated bIkeway that the City received government funding for which eliminated a traffic lane on northbound Avocado, a blind alley and Second Avenue. This is 25-253 an increasing traffic and logistical nightmare . Before this proposed project receives any further consideration a comprehensive City TRAFFIC STUDY should be done and the study should include commuter times of day midday, and weekends as Avocado is used to avoid congestion on PCH. A question as to liability for the City in the creation of an unsafe traffic environment in the event of accidents also exists. Other cities and our own have been successfully sued for damages if found negligent. The increased opportunity for issues relating to public safety and crime are many. The hours of requested hours of operation and type of business cater to a nonresident and/or homeless population. Our City has devoted significant resources and time to humanely work on our existing homeless problem and this project will exacerbate the problem. Convenience stores by their very nature are frequent targets for criminal activity from shoplifting, underage alcohol and tobacco purchases and other petty crimesto robberies. Convenience stores located near major arterials and freeways are particularly vulnerable and MacArthur Blvd is adjacent. The increased policing and associated costs and potential threats to our police should be considered. We have been fortunate in our community for many years but with increased urbanization 25-254 comes an increase in urban problems. We recently experienced an armed robbery at the Korker Liquor and have had an increase in residential burglaries in the neighborhood of Irvine Terrace where I reside. There are many more reasons not to approve this project as many concerned members of the community have made you aware of. Please consider the residents perspective as you evaluate this project.

As detailed below, the Project does not meet the minimum design guidelines of the City of Newport Beach and must be denied. I. THE STANDARDS FOR DEVELOPMENTS REQUESTING A VARIANCE REQUIRE STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH NEWPORT BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE 20.52.090 The rules for a variance in Municipal Code 20.52.090 ("NBMC") are as follows: "Findings and Decision. The review authority may approve or conditionally approve a variance only after first making all of the following findings: 1. There are special or unique circumstances or conditions applicable to the subject property (e.g., location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other physical features) that do not apply generally to other properties in the vicinity under an identical zoning classification; 25-261 Chelsea Crager August 18, 2020 Page 2 of 5 2. Strict compliance with Zoning Code requirements would deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zoning classification; 3. Granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights of the applicant; 4. Granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity and in the same zoning district; 5. Granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of the City, nor 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; and 6. Granting of the variance will not be in conflict with the intent and purpose of this section, this Zoning Code, the General Plan, or any applicable specific plan." The applicant is seeking a variance for at least six (6) service station development standards: The applicant requests modifications from the following six service station development standards: 1. Minimum 10 -foot setback to the south side property line abutting the alley for the convenience store. The development provides a 0 -foot setback to the south side property line abutting the alley, where a 10 -foot setback is required for the proposed convenience store building. Developments must comply with 10 foot setback requirements to promote an appearance harmonious with surrounding landscapes and neighborhoods and here, there is no good reason to grant a variance from the 10 foot setback requirement 2. Minimum 10 -foot setback to the rear property line for the air/water dispenser. The development provides a 4 -foot setback to the rear property line abutting Korker Liquor for the air/water dispenser, where a 10 -foot setback is required. A 4 foot setback is inadequate. Access to the air/water dispenser will be inadequate and the Project building should be set back further from Korker to promote open space and prevent criminal activity from occurring between the narrow gap of two buildings.

Hewitt, Inc. 2082 Michelson Drive, Ste. 300 1 Irvine, California 92612 Phone: 949 825-5260 1 Fax 949 852-5261 25-262 Chelsea Crager August 18, 2020 Page 3 of 5 3. Minimum lot size. The subject property is 13,853 square feet in size, whereas a minimum 15,326 square feet is required to accommodate the proposed project (1,000 square feet of site area per fueling position and 3.33 square feet of site area for each square foot devoted to retail and/or food and beverage sales). The Project is simply too large for the limited lot size and will create inadequate parking, circulation problems, traffic congestion and other problems associated with a structure too large for the lot. 4. Minimum 5 -foot size planting area along Avocado Avenue and east side interior property lines. The development provides 4 -foot -6 -inch -wide planting areas along the Avocado Avenue property line, instead of the required 5 -foot -wide planting areas. Further, the planting area along the east side interior property line is irregularly shaped due to the angled parking spaces and does not meet the 5 -foot minimum dimension. There is no perimeter landscaping provided along the south interior side property line abutting the alley today and none would be provided in the design. Landscaping is a critical element in the beautification of Corona del Mar and a deviance at a critical entrance point to Corona del Mar frustrates the purpose of the landscaping requirements. 5. Minimum of 15 percent of the service station site landscaped. Landscape is provided onsite totaling 1,590 square feet, or 11.5 percent of the site area, instead of the required 15 percent of the site area. The proposed landscaping is insufficient and the Project is located at the gateway to Corona del Mar at the corner of East Coast Highway and Avocado where there is maximum visual impact upon entering Corona del Mar. There is no reason to grant a variance for limited landscaping at this location. 6. Quantity of landscaping materials adjacent to the south side interior property line. The site provides no trees or shrubs adjacent to the interior side property line abutting the alley where four trees and 13 shrubs are required by the standards. Again, the Project proposes a major landscaping variance in a location that should comply with all landscaping requirements. None of the variances requested by the applicant have abated problems associated with traffic, noise, crime, trash and other problems and the Project must be denied for failing to comply with the strict requirements of the NBMC. IL A 24 HOUR CONVENIENCE STORE IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Is a 24 hour convenience store going to be the face of Corona del Mar/Newport Beach? As discussed in the objections attached to the staff report, the noise, crime, traffic LAW VERDICT® Law Offices of Michael C. Hewitt, Inc. 2082 Michelson Drive, Ste. 300 1 Irvine, California 92612 Phone: 949 825-5260 1 Fax 949 852-5261 25-263 Chelsea Crager August 18, 2020 Page 4 of 5 and other problems associated with a 24 hour convenience store, especially a convenience store that is duplicative of shopping opportunities already existing in the neighborhood, does not meet the criteria of NBMC 20.52.090 and the project must be denied. III. ALCOHOL As the residents written objections attached to the staff report correctly point out, more than adequate facilities exist for the purchase of alcohol. In fact, Korker liquor is right next door within 20 feet of the Project. Would the two business compete for low price liquor, leading to a flood of alcohol related issues? Moreover, Attachment No. PC3 to the staff report, the Police Department Memorandum, clearly shows that a 24 hour convenience store will create a myriad of problems and requires so many special conditions to mitigate the associate criminal activity and problems; however, it is important to note that the special conditions will only mitigate the criminal activity and will not stop the criminal activity associate with a 24 hour convenience store selling alcohol. As discussed in the objections submitted by residents, there is an oversaturation of alcohol licenses in the vicinity of the project. For this reason alone, the project should be denied. Corona del Mar does not need another facility selling alcohol. In fact, selling more alcohol will lead to increased cost and enforcement by the Newport Beach Police Department and for this reason, the Project must be denied. IV. THE SECOND FLOOR DESIGN IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH A SMALL OFFICE OR STORAGE. The design indicates that the second floor would be used for storage and an office, yet the access is via an external stairway. If the second floor were truly designed for storage, the access would logically be from inside the store. If the second floor is in fact going to be office space, then parking would need to be adjusted accordingly. V. CONCLUSION The Project does not meet the City of Newport Beach design criteria and must be denied. Moreover, a 24 hour convenience store would increase crime, traffic, noise, invade privacy of neighbors and raises other issues that are incompatible with the City of LAW VERDICT® Law Offices of Michael C.

The sale of alcohol from the project is duplicative of sales from existing facilities and will oversaturate the area with alcohol sales. For all of the foregoing reasons, and all of the reasons stated in the residents' objections to the Project, the Project must be denied. Sincerely, MICHAEL C.

It would be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of our city and neighborhood. The neighborhood does not need a second liquor store adjacent to Korker's liquor store. Within a short distance of this location are already two (2) convenience/liquor stores, "gas station" on McArthur/PCH, also Papa's Liquor on PCH and Marguerite. Two (2) grocery stores, Bristol Farms, Smart & Final. Also, we have a Rite Aide that sell "convenience " items etc. We do not need any other convenience stores. This development would most definitely increase traffic on an already extremely busy intersection and increase parking issue for residence.

It possibly could increase the homeless situation and most certainly would be detrimental to the charm and orderly growth of the city. Within walking distance of McArthur and PCH, there is a convenient store, two grocery stores and pharmacies, all very close to this location that also sell convenience items and liquor.

Hi Chelsea, It's come to my attention that the 76 gas station on PCH and Avocado is seeking to convert it's lot to a 2 - story 7/11. I'm writing to you because I, and many other residents of Newport Beach and Corona Del Mar, don't want to see this happen. I'm a customer of Korker Liquor, and I don't think it makes sense to have a 2 -story 7/11 next to them — it seems redundant. Our community supports local family businesses like Korker, and we don't see a need in adding another chain convenience story when our needs are already being met. Also, amid this pandemic, it's my feeling that our community should support our own and preserve small businesses that are the backbone of our nation.

I understand there is a possible chance of a new gas station and 7/11 or Circle K store occupying the current 76 gas station next door. I think this would be a terrible mistake. A cheap gas/liquor store will only further contribute to the local problem we have with vagrants and bums who use PCH and its store fronts as a temporary place to sleep. I know from experience as my father owns 2855 East Coast Hwy and the lots behind it. It seems like every other night I have to call the police on bums and vagrants who sleep or use drugs on our property. I live in a condo behind that address and I am a born and raised CBM local. Please do not consider turning that corner into a convenience store. I know that all the locals I have discussed this with agree and hopefully you do too.

Dear Chelsea Crager: I want to object to the City of Newport Beach approving the removal of the service gas station on the corner of Avocado St. and Pacific Coast Hwy. and allowing the construction of a 7/11 store in its place. According to the City Rules, it violates the rule of approving a building that would be next to a similar use building. The Korker Liquor store has been at 2229 E, Coast Hwy for most likely, over 40 years and ru by the same family all those years. The 7/11 store would be in direct competition with Korker liquor store and that is not a good thing for the neighborhood and 7/11's proposed use 25-320 From: Ronnie Beauchamp <ronnie@arborrealestate.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2020 7:45 PM To: Ronnie Beauchamp; Ronnie Beauchamp; Crager, Chelsea Subject: NO 7 ELEVEN ON AVOCADO/ PCH PLEASE!!!

Hello Chelsea, Hope this note finds you doing well. This email is in opposition of the plans to build a 7/11 in CdM. I lived on the 700 block of Acacia for 13 years and just moved to back bay last summer. During my time in CdM I often frequented The Korker. Garen and his late father have always been professional, kind and caring of the local community. A 7/11 would destroy their business and give an eyesore to the entrance of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Please do not approve the 7/11. With gratitude and good will I thank you for your consideration.

Chelsea, I have lived on Avocado with two children for 10 years. I fear for the safety of our neighborhood should this 7-11 be approved. I drive down Avocado from the bus shelter to home and am very aware of the homeless population that is allowed to sleep overnight at the bus station. I am very aware that the homeless population takes advantage of the warm water in the Civic Center bathrooms because I have walked into the bathroom with my daughters and seen them bathing. I am very aware of the homeless population and how they are allowed to stay all day inside the library until closing hours when it is open. Once the library closes many homeless come down hill to PCH and find their places to sleep in our community. I believe a 7-11 will only aid the homeless population. We don't need a liquor store at that corner. We don't need a place for homeless to loiter out front or pander. We don't want and do not need a 7-11 in CDM. I do not support this in our community. I would suggest that City Council go see the 7-11 up on Irvine Street and decide if it would fit in with CDM. What the Irvine Company has built with the Bristol Market shopping center is what CDM is know for. Not a 7-11 that will attract and cater to the homeless community.

Hello, My name is Andrew Lewis and I am 25 years old. I grew up in Corona Del Mar, and Korker Liquor has been a staple in the community for as long as I remember. I use to go there all the time as a kid to get candy, and now I go there to get fishing bait and beer. If there were to be a 7/11 added in place of it, it would degrade the community and take away from the Corona Del Mar vibe.

Hello: I am appalled by the proposal to construct a 2 story 7-11 and parking at the corner of PCT and Avocado in Corona Del Mar. As a 39 year resident of CDM, I have never heard of such an egregious proposal. This 7-11 and its parking lot will be a source of traffic congestion, evening noise, night lighting unprecedented for CDM, loitering, alcoholism, and architectural compromise of the CDM village area. The impact will carry over for generations, lowering property values, and reducing the attractiveness and charm that characterizes CDM. The whole project is disrespectful of the community.

To the Newport City Council and Chelsea, This is email is to inform you that I highly oppose the build out of a 7Eleven at the corner of beautiful CDM. As a resident in the area we all know the pros and cons of living near high traffic street such as PCH. As is it parking has always been an issue so this 2 story building will increase traffic at that busy corner. Weekly truck deliveries will impact other drivers and increase chances of automobile and pedestrian accidents. The city is doing just fine with Korker and Bristol Farms across the street and to be honest, PCH needs a gas station at that corner since there aren't that many in the nearby proximity. Thank you for taking the time to read my opposition. I hope the city Council does the right thing and keeps CDM a unique and beautiful city with eclectic businesses and not a 7Eleven.

Hello Chelsea: Our neighborhood doesn't need a 7-11 "block -house" selling alcohol from 0600 to 2300 every day. This business will attract undesirable persons purchasing alcohol and drinking alcohol in our neighborhood. This will increase vagrancy and risk public health, leading to reduction in nearby property values. The current business sells water, soda, chips and cigarettes, no alcohol or short order fast food. So permitting a 7-11 would be a significant business change at this location. Please accept our input to decline to issue a permit for the proposed business.

Hello - I am cdm resident in the flower streets (212 Fernleaf). I am 100% against the proposed 24 hour convenience store / liquor store at this location. Why do we need 2 liquor stores almost next to each other (Korkers)? One of the reasons I did not move to San Clemente when I came back to California in 2014 was because of the multiple 24 hour convenience stores open on PCH, and ensuing population that gathers around those establishments all hours of the night. I ended up at 702 Acacia (around the corner from Union 76) and sold in part because of the noise and nighttime crowds along PCH. We need less traffic / shopping at night in that area of town, not more. Please advise how to best convey my concerns.

We do not need another liquor store. The Korker is tradition, always there with friendly service. The 76 too, for a quick fill up, been there for decades. Tom the attendant almost always present (often solo) is so very nice and helpful - throughout the years - longer than I can count. I've not seen any homeless persons hanging out there... unattractive to them. I do not favor a 2 story structure at that corner. We don't need more retail, nor liquor sales. Nor do we need another "mini" market, no not there. What exists there now, services our needs. Let's keep it.

Ms. Crager, I am writing this email in strong opposition to the potential 7-11 store at the above referenced location. A traffic quagmire is bound to exist at both the northbound left turn lane on PCH ( which already backs up into the third lane of traffic) as well as the right turn lane on eastbound Avocado. The location of a business with hundreds of trips in and out for multiple hours a day would be detrimental to residents of Corona Del Mar. Traffic in and around the PCH , Avocado and MacArthur area is already bad and will just get worse.

Dear Ms. Crager As a resident of CdM and having an office a block away from the proposed location, I believe the development of that area into a retail convenience store would be detrimental to the City and the area.

I am not a complainer, and not sure I have ever written an email to object to anything, but I think this is not good for the town. I see no redeeming value to this, I think traffic would be horrendous getting in and out, and mostly, quite unfair to the retail liquor store next door to the proposed 7-11. They have been paying fees to CDM for years and years, and to put a competing business next door is unfathomable. I certainly hope this will be denied based on ingress and egress problems, and you will likely put the existing retail liquor store out of business, this is simply wrong.

Dear Mr. Herdman and Ms. Crager, Thank you for your role on the planning commission. Three generations of our family live in Newport Beach (Corona del Mar) and feel so thankful to be able to raise our families right here. Our community is what it is because of wise planning and we should ; our lovely town is worth guarding against erosion. As you see from my subject line, I think a 7/11 here will erode that. Here's why: 1. 24-hour stores are designed to attract people at all hours, and with that comes an increase in homeless traffic and crime. 2. The bus stop already located at the curb of this location will only offer an opportunistic loitering place, adding to the allure of this particular store as an easy target for crime and homeless lingerers. 3. This location abuts a residential area of quiet family homes who would see an uptick in the homeless presence in their neighborhood. 4. A 7/11 is unnecessary—Korker Liquor, Bristol Farms, Papa's Liquor, and Smart and Final are already right in town. (Korker Liquor is already at the same site as the proposed 7/11; why duplicate?) 5. A 7/11 contradicts the established and valued character of our local community. Please vote no on this idea; it is a valueless detractor to our community.

Dear Ms. Crager, It has come to my attention that there is an application to the City of Newport to "re -purpose" the Union 76 Station at the corner of PCH and Avocado into a convenience store. As a long-time resident of Irvine Terrace, I know this intersection very well and I am strongly opposed to placement of a convenience store in this location. As you know, the intersection of PCH and Avocado is already a high traffic volume intersection. Approving the addition of a high volume store in this location would further impact this already congested intersection. (There is very little available parking at that location, by the way). Furthermore, it is my understanding that the proposed store hours would be 6 AM until 12 midnight and would have an adverse impact on a very quiet residential community. would like to go on record as being opposed to this project.

Good day Chelsea, This is a simple note to voice my hearty disapproval for the intended demolition of Korker liquor store in favor of another convenience store (7 -eleven). How lame is that??? to eliminate one man's business so that a greedy business with more resources can increase their already over inflated bottom line at Korker's expense. The planning commission ought to be ashamed to even entertain such a thing. Small business owners like Korker are the backbone of this country and to allow them to be crushed like that is despicable.

CHELESEA Proposed development. There is a proposal to tear down the gas station at PCH and Avocado. The proposal is to put a two story convenience store 7-11 with liquor sales and office space. I believe this would increase our homeless issues and would be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of the city. Within one block at McArthur and PCH, there is a convenient store located in that gas station. There are two grocery stores and pharmacies close to this location that also sell convenience items. We do not need a second liquor store adjacent to the existing store (Korkers) This is already a busy intersection. To add additional traffic and office space is not harmonious with the neighborhood, and the homeless would not leave the area if you let this pass there are not place in cdm for a 7-11 convenience store in our cdm village and if you have not been over there lately the smell of them defecating in the bushes and alley is very hard to have to deal with on a day to day, let alone the drug needles and trash and them scaring and steeling from people up and down pch and the traffic studies don't show them laying in the middle of pch during the day, if the city lets this go thew it with bring way more problems to cdm and are locals that needs two be look at first before a property owner who is board and just wants to causes problems for all in m and further more for all the years that station has had very bad reviews with customer service it very un settling two see things like this take place ... 25-365 From: Robert Gregory <contact@coastalready.com> Sent: Monday, August 17, 2020 8:03 PM To: Crager, Chelsea Subject: Proposed 7 11 store at PCH & Avocado [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Greetings Chelsea, I am writing this email to express my opposition to the proposed 7-11 convenience store on the corner of PCH and Avocado. I have lived in Irvine Terrace for nearly fifty years and pass this location multiple times per day nearly every day of the week. My concerns are many; 1. Increased traffic in and out of the location from Avocado and PCH. 2. Vagrancy; there is a bus stop directly in front of the location. We all know the homeless problem that exists at the bus terminal at the top of Avocado. 3. Corporatizing CDM. We have been fortunate to maintain the unique character of CDM by not allowing major corporations to change the face of our city. (aside from the banks) 4.Over saturating CDM with off -premise alcohol sales locations. We have enough places to purchase alcohol and fast food. I urge Newport Beach city planning to prohibit 7-11 from becoming a part of the landscape and changing the face of our Crown by the sea. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Ms. Crager,\ would like to express my concern about a proposed 7-11 store that is being considered on the corner of Avocado and PCH.

As a resident of Corona Del Mar, I am concerned that the proposed store would be a detriment to our community.

Dear Chelsea, We purchased our home in Irvine Terrace forty years ago and have seen the congestion on Avocado. Customers of the Union 76 often try to cross into the left turn lane, blocking one or more of the other lanes. We were not fond of the gas station being located near the entrance to Irvine Terrace and really feel a 7- 11store will be a misplaced improvement. We do not see our community shopping at the 7-11 but those from out of the area. In addition, we think many more cars will be using the 7-11 than the gas station. Please do the right thing and disapprove this 7-11. Thank you.

Good Morning Chelsea, We understand the NB Planning Commission is asking for input on a proposed large 7-11 at the corner of Avocado and PCH where the gas station is. The original plan is to create a big box with wings and paint it bright orange. It will be an eyesore and cheapen the impression of CDM, will attract the homeless who will buy a slushy and camp out in the bathroom and property, is too close to our neighborhood, and significantly increase parking, traffic and congestion on an already busy intersection, not to mention put the longtime Korker out of business. I understand legally the owner cannot be denied the addition of this business, but Newport Beach can make sure the building is in keeping with the charm and ambiance of the community, with signage appropriate for CDM. In addition they can be denied carrying wine and beer. We have been long time residents of CDM and would not want to see the charm and ambience of our small beach village negatively impacted by a building out of keeping with existing standards , an already very busy intersection experience additional excess congestion and parking, attracting increased alcohol consumption, and attracting transients. There is already very limited parking for the existing businesses along PCH, and it will add to this dilemma. I have sent this to our neighbors who expect the planning commission and city council to have the highest standards for our lovely and charming CDM.

Dear Chelsea, 1 am writing to voice my opinion about the proposed 2 story 7-11 at the corner of PCH & Avacado Ave. I live at 412 Carnation & have purchased gas at the Unocal 76 located there many times& have found the owner & employees to be very pleasant people. 1 believe that people have a right to improve their property but there should be some restrictions on the improvements ... just like there are restrictions & codes for building residential properties in CDM. 1 understand the owners concerns about the lack of auto repair business at his gas station. There is an existing one story building on the property.. not a 2 story structure & I firmly believe that any rehab/improvements should remain within the existing legal footprint & not become a 2 story edifice. 1 also have an issue with it becoming a 7-11..selling liquor and remaining open until midnight. To do so would create an increase in traffic -folks looking to buy alcohol until midnight & possibly driving drunk. We already have a fair amount of cars that make U-turns at PCH & Avacado Ave & we really don't need anymore traffic doing so ... especially later at night when visibility becomes a serious issue. There are Unocal 76 stations in the country that have convenience stores within the building and 1 would urge the owner to take a look at them & consider modeling his improvement after them rather than a 7-11. We already have a liquor store less than half a block from the Unocal 76 & since grocery stores also sell liquor ...do we really need one more establishment selling liquor? Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Planning Commissioners: I am writing to register my vehement objection to the replacement of the Union 76 gas station with a 7- 11 at the corner of Avocado and PCH. I have lived on and off in Corona Del Mar for the last 35 years, and currently own a residence on Avocado Ave. I have watched as our peaceful little beach town has turned in to a heavily congested and crime ridden area. People flock to CDM from places near and far to go to the beach. Parking is impossible, streets are congested, traffic is terrible and the crime rate is on the rise. Adding a 7-11 to the corner of Avocado and PCH will further exacerbate the current traffic congestion, increase the number of cars doing quick U-turns into the 7 -Eleven from PCH, and promote loitering (who doesn't love to hang around in a 7-11 parking lot on a Saturday night?) As a homeowner in CDM, I like all others, have paid a pretty penny to live here and I don't want to see my property value negatively impacted. There is enough carnage going on in California right now with the COVID crisis, and I would highly encourage you to leave well enough alone. The Union 76 station has been serving us for years. If we feel compelled to go to a 7-11 we can drive ourselves to Costa Mesa. PLEASE VOTE NO on this proposal. Sincerely, Colleen S. Moore Colleen Moore Enterprise Account Manager HP Inc.

The flyer requested that CDM residents present our opinion to you, as a representative of the Newport Beach Planning commission. As a resident of Corona del Mar, I am against replacing the gas station with a 7 -11 -type business on the corner of MacArthur and PCH. The flyer indicated that the planning commission is only concerned with traffic, but this is not my experience in the construction industry for 50 years. A new business should be compatible both with the neighborhood architecturally and services provided in addition to zoning and traffic consideration. CDM has two liquor stores that have long served CDM residents and tourists. There are two full-service grocery stores (one has an accessible entrance heading north on PCH in the middle of CDM) --not to mention fast-food take-outs for pizza and so forth. Also, Newport Beach has been lax in its approval of signage in CDM (witness the Rite Aid sign, among others). Adding a 7-11 sign is adding insult to injury. I believe the store will be selling liquor from 6:00 AM until midnight! Ambulances will be busy, and cops could stand by and have a field day. Also, lighting on the second story that will be of considerable disturbance for residents on an incline north of MacArthur and PCH. In sleepy Corona del Mar, please. The proposed 7-11 is strategically located for tourists heading inland on MacArthur, and there is bound to be more traffic entering and leaving a convenience store. Currently, the gas station on PCH in the middle of CDM is always busy, thus relieving the need to stop at another gas station on MacArthur. The result is minimal traffic interference on MacArthur and PCH. Of course, this means more traffic at a 7- 11 -type of liquor and takeaway store during high volume traffic passing through CDM --which is always, except for 6:00 AM and midnight. As for only one of CDM's representatives, the CDM Chamber of Commerce has not addressed (blaming the Convid19 situation) the planning commission regarding the property owner's proposal so far. Also, the chamber has not informed residents by mentioning the proposal in its newsletters. Shame on them. After a telephone discussion with a representative of the chamber today, I believe the 25-375 organization is against the proposed 7 -11 -type of business in CDM. The chamber has until this Wednesday to contact the planning commission and state its opposition. The planning commission is meeting on Thursday, August 20. The owner of the gas station on MacArthur is well-connected in Corona del Mar and on the board of many CDM organizations. He has had the benefit of an income from the gas station for years, but apparently this business has run its course. He is entitled to build another project, but an eye -sore convenience store selling liquor until midnight with increased traffic is not the answer. He has enjoyed the benefits of Corona del Mar for many years; surely, he can come up with a plan compatible with the town. Sincerely, (Mrs.) Gayle Jones jA Gayle Jones Snyder Langston Partner, Exec.

Chelsea, My name is Steven Fischer, I am a resident and a property owner of two commercial buildings on E Coast Highway in Com. I would like to thank you for considering the community before making any decisions on this project. I have owned my properties for almost 20 years now and I have rarely commented on proposed projects or use changes. I love this little town which I have made my home, the people of this town have pride and hold it in high regards. I'm not sure how familiar you are with convenience stores such as a 7/11 in the late night hours, but this is not the correct fit for Our community. It will bring in a bad element into our neighborhood especially side streets late at night. I'm sure I can tell you all about Noise factor, late night alcohol use, unruly driving, litter, not to mention the aesthetics. Etc. I suggest that you go to a 7/11 on a Saturday night at 11:00 pm and sit there for an hour .... I think it will weigh on your opinion. On the flip side of this issue, I own the Wells Fargo Bank Building at Orchid/E Coast Highway which has been closed for 6 months due to Covid. If this new convenience store sets a precedent.... would you consider an application for putting a Circle K in the bank space if they don't renew their lease? I didn't think so....... I'm sure Mr. Hamid would be getting a huge incentive check from 7-11 and it would be financially enticing, but I think He can be creative with the existing space and find another use.

It would be: 1) an eyesore for our village 2) an affront to owners of an established reputable business that will probably have to close 3) a source of increased traffic of an already busy intersection. ***Has a traffic study been done on this new usage? 4) Potential extended hours beyond what the current business is open 5) a source of public trash disposal 6) Another liquor . 7) Extended hours beyond what the current business is practicing.

Dear Mayor Dixon, Chairman Weigand and Chelsea Crager, I have recently learned that the NB Planning Commission is seeking input on Project File PA2019-027 (Application 2201 East Coast Highway, Corona del Mar, CA) which proposes the inclusion of a large 7-11 on the 76 gasoline station site. The application would replace a 1,735 sq. ft. automotive service station with a 2,400 sq. ft. convenience/liquor store. I oppose this project for the following reasons 1) The 7-11 would be adjacent to Korker's, also a convenience/liquor store. Korker's has been a good/safe neighbor and fits our village theme. The 7-11 would negatively impact Korker's sales and viability. And we already have two other such stores in our village. 2) This project would require a variance for parking and a variance for the radius for exiting gas pumps vs. proposed parking spaces. There have already been two crashes into the Korker's building form the gas station property. This tight ingress and egress would prompt further accidents. Also, the surrounding residential properties are already negatively impacted by on -street parking from nearby businesses. This project would exacerbate the lack of parking in our residential neighborhood. 3) Also, the project's architectural design is out of character with the Corona del Mar village community. Finally, this project greatly illuminates the need for the preparation of a CDM Business Village Specific Plan, similar to the that performed for Balboa Village. The Specific/Design Plan would establish design parameters and address parking. This plan would provide guidelines for future projects and help to ensure the viability of our CDM Business Village.

Dear Ms. Crager: find it very discouraging to hear that the 76 gas station site is being considered for a 7-11. 1 use that gas station, and like to go to the Bamboo Bistro as well. Living in Irvine Terrace, it is almost impossible to get there unless you are headed north on PCH. I don't even think about going there on weekends or even during the week with the heavy traffic now on PCH. If a 7- 11 is allowed to go in, you are going to see many more people coming from the beach, etc., who are going to see the 7-11 and try to decide at the last second whether to pull in there, or get onto MacArthur. That corner is already dicey with people trying to get into the correct lanes. This is going to cause many more accidents there, and hurt the businesses in CdM (of which I have no financial interest). This may prod me to avoid going into the downtown of the city where I've lived for 20 years. Please don't allow this to happen.

We are Newport Beach residents with our home on Kewamee Drive in Irvine Terrace. We have a number of concerns about the 7-11proposed project. In this note we want to single out a paramount concern: TRAFFIC IMPACTS 1. This project will greatly increase traffic not only on PCH but also on Kewamee Drive, posing several dangerous situations. 2. The project will greatly increase the number of vehicles making a U turn on PCH at Avocado, potentially increasing the existing volume of u -turns and causing backups extending into the PCH through traffic Iane.There have been a number of accidents at that intersection in the past. 3. Our GREATEST CONCERN is the traffic on Kewamee Drive. It is a heavily used cut -through from Bayside Drive to PCH. The volume and SPEEDING on Kewamee are already a DANGEROUS issue. The police have already posted electronic speed signs to no avail. We feel that SPEED BUMPS are already needed to slow Kewamee Drive traffic and with the increased 7-11 traffic will be mandatory. We believe any review of the proposed project must address mitigating these issues. Thank you for having them brought to the attention of the Planning Commission.

Dear Chelsea, Thank you for taking the time to read my opposition to the proposed 7-11 at the corner of Avocado and PCH in CdM. I cannot think of a business that is as unnecessary in our little community as a 7-11 and I say that without any elitism. For what purpose would it serve for the locals in the area? We currently have several small liquor stores on PCH and several grocery stores within a tight radius. We also currently have increased traffic both in cars and on foot. Our neighborhood (Irvine Terrace) alone has seen an increase in transients and break ins. I fear that 7-11 would unfortunately increase the transient numbers and looking at the odds I would say the potential for crimes would rise. This would not be good nor fair to not just my neighborhood but all of the flower streets, residents and businesses alike. A dream for me would be small cafe/specialized deli/butcher/produce market. Something of the sort. Items that go beyond the everyday daily needs provided at our local grocery stores. That is just a vision I have but what a classy clean aesthetic look it would be as you enter our community of CdM. The 76 gas station has been a convenient stop for me for years on my way to work but more times than not after I had a visit at this 76 my credit card # was stolen and used at different 76 stations throughout California. Needless to say I stopped going to this 76 and say good riddance. But, I would rather have a gas station than a 7-11. I am all for community progress and development but development as necessary.

Dear Chelsea Crager and Newport Beach Planning Commissioners, It has been brought to my awareness that a 7 -eleven is being considered by our planning commission this Thursday. It is to be located at the corner of Avocado Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway, where the 76 gas station currently operates. I am a resident and homeowner near this corner and feel strongly that of this business would create dangerous traffic issues, add much congestion to an already extremely busy, accident prone intersection and bring an unwanted increase in noise, loitering and parking issues, with the stated hours of 6am until 12 pm. For these very important reasons, I feel very strongly that this proposed 7 -eleven should definitely not be approved by the planning commission on Thursday, August 20th, 2020. Thank you for your time and help with this matter.

Ms. Crager I am a long time resident of Corona Del Mar residing at 2224 Pacific Dr. I am vehemently opposed to the proposed 7 -eleven at PCH and Avocado. That intersection is very busy now and will be far worse if this development moves forward. Also this is a quiet residential community and such an addition will be inconsistent with this great area. We do not want to add late night retail of alcohol especially. Please record my vote as a no to this proposal. Thank you.

This is simply to let you know that my wife Elaine and I strongly oppose the proposed construction of a 7 -Eleven Convenience Store/Filling Station at the corner of PCH and Avocado for the following reasons: 1.....It will add additional traffic and congestion to an already busy intersection. 2.....It will necessitate longer traffic signal delays for PCH travelers. 3.....Its height and build -to -the -lot line dimension are excessive and out of character for the neighborhood. 4.....All services promised are already available at or close by the proposed site. 5.....The hours of operation, lighting and signage will be very annoying to nearby residents. 6.....This will do nothing to preserve (let alone enhance) the nature and reputation of Corona Del Mar.

Dear Chelsea, We are Irvine Terrace homeowners (Alrura Drive) opposed to the proposed building on corner of PCH and Avocado. That corner is already problematic with people doing u turns on PCH and people on Avocado trying to make a right. The left turn lane on PCH is also frequently backed up, clogging the intersection. There are also a number of people who loiter on the bus stop bench already, which with a store open from 6am -12pm and selling alcohol, may make it even more attractive to loiter.

Good morning, As a Newport Beach citizen, I wanted to express my opposition to granting a license for a 7 -Eleven on PCH at the corner of Avocado. Although at this point I've just read commentary from neighbors, it is my understanding that it would be a 24 hour facility. I'm sure that you know that 7 -Eleven has a reputation for attracting an unsavory element unfortunately. I used to live right next-door to that location and the noise from the gas station during the day was even a little much for us. I'm sure that all the other residents that are still there will be even more upset if it is operating 24/7 and various homeless people and other individuals are hanging out. Which they will be if you just drive by any of the other ones in Newport. Or any other town for that matter. As a former social worker I am sensitive to the plight of the homeless and alcoholic; however, having them hang out on a sidewalk or parking lot all day is not helpful to them. Or the neighbors. Sorry to be blunt. It's just true. Please consider keeping this a "mom and pop" type of service station. Or limit who you license to for what is a positive addition to the community.

They have all since passed, and at 61 year old, I currently live back in the home where I grew up, in Irvine Terrace. My family loves this area and we call it OUR HOMEH My parents knew that Newport Beach was a beautiful and safe small town, and made the move to Corona del Mar from Los Angeles in 1964. 1 attended Harbor View Elementary, Corona del Mar Elementary, Lincoln Middle School and Corona Del Mar High School. We love that CdM is a cute, quiet, little area where we enjoy walking, shopping and dining. It is close to everything, and still has a small town feel. My family and I are NOT in favor of tearing down the 76 gas station at Avocado and PCH. In general, convenience stores tend to attract an element of people hanging around who cause mischief. We already have problems with the homeless begging, stealing, and loitering around our beautiful city. I believe the inclusion of a 7 -Eleven to the neighborhood will cause more mischief, traffic and congestion. I believe there will also be a direct negative impact on our property values. Leave the 7 -Elevens and other convenience stores in Costa Mesa, we don't need them in Corona Del Mar. There are many other places like CVS, and Rite Aid to quicky and easily purchase necessities. Please DO 25-395 NOT ruin our lovely little town, with an ugly 7 -Eleven. It DOES NOT belong here, nor do the type of people that frequent them. urge the Planning to commission to VOTE NO and to keep our city quiet and quaint.

Hi Chelsea, Please include my comments below regarding the consideration of a 7 -Eleven at PCH and Avocado. I have owned property near Acacia and Second Ave in CdM for over 20 years. Being only a few blocks away from the proposed 7 -Eleven, I am very concerned that this is not the right business for the location. There are already several liquor stores and markets to buy beer and wine in CdM. A 7 -Eleven at that location will only encourage additional late night traffic, from mostly out of town people. I support the owner being able to re -develop his property, but let's come up with a better idea than a 7 - Eleven. This is the wrong business for the location.

I am a homeowner living in the 700 block of Avocado. I'm writing to oppose the building of a 7 -Eleven on the corner of PCH and Avocado in CDM. -Entrance to this structure will be problematic with the U turn vehicles going left unto PCH, heading for the extreme right lane to enter the site, often not attending to the cars turning right from Avocado, and the pedestrians trying to cross PCH in the crosswalks. This is a complex and dangerous intersection as is. -Often the line of cars waiting for a signal change extends beyond the marked lanes on Avocado. -Sudden turns from PCH into the proposed 7 -Eleven will result in more accidents and injuries. It's similar to the often dangerous intersection at PCH and Bayside. Bike riders will be much more vulnerable. -Already there are too many cars running red lights on PCH without consequence. This proposed construction will compound the situation. -Currently trucks deliver to the 76 station very early in the am and the noise is loud and disruptive to homeowners nearby. Deliveries will increase at all hours causing more traffic disruption and noise to the neighborhood. -The ability to purchase alcohol throughout the day and much of the night will increase loitering and drinking in close neighborhoods. Police presence will be more in demand. -A 7 -Eleven store in the proposed location will be an eyesore and will not aesthetically fit in with nearby centers.

Hello Chelsea, I wanted to reach out in response to a proposed 7 -Eleven that's under consideration in CDM. I've been a resident here for over 30 years and I never thought I'd see the day that a proposal like this would be taken under consideration. Beyond the obvious eye -sore a 7 -Eleven would bring to our charming neighborhood, I see a traffic nightmare on our hands. Coming down MaCarthur and attempting to get into the left hand lane before reaching Avacado is difficult enough for local residents. With the addition of a 7 -eleven on the corner, I suspect we will see a considerable increase in congestions and accidents trying to cut across multiple lanes. We also have Corker's on PCH. A store that has been in CDM since the 50's and at least 17 years under its current ownership. Are we seriously proposing two stores that sell liquor within 100 feet of each other in this neighborhood? My vote is a big "NO". Let's keep our charm and carry on.

Chelsea, Hello, my name is Patrick Meegan. I have resided at 423 Avocado since 2012. 1 have extensively used the auto repair services of the Corona del Mar 76 on three personal vehicles and have purchased my gas at this station, almost exclusively, for the past 10 years. I stopped using the auto repair services after the long-time mechanic retired and several key personnel left. I am opposed to the proposed changes to the PCH/Avocado service station (most significantly a 24 hour convenience store that sells alcohol) for the following reasons: 1. Inadequate parking —The gas station services currently require all the available space on the property and the addition of a convenience store will create a parking problem that will adversely impact traffic and parking (already a problem in CDM) in the very busy area immediately surrounding the gas station. 2. Increased foot traffic — The PCH/Avocado intersection is one of the busiest in Newport Beach and the increased foot traffic resulting from the addition of a convenience store will elevate pedestrian involved accidents, slow traffic on PCH and Avocado and increase the number of vehicles driving through the already overcrowded residential streets in the CDM Village. 3. Sufficient Existing Alcohol Purchase Options —The existing alcohol related stores (including Korker's, Bristol Farms, Smart & Final and Papa's Liquor) are more than sufficient to service the existing CDM community offering multiple price points and convenient hours of operation. There is no need for an additional alcohol-related store given the existing stores and the relatively fixed size of the CDM population. 4. Operator Profitability Concerns — The gas station owner assertion that declining revenue from automotive services moving to car dealerships is not supported by facts, or my extensive experience as a Corona del Mar 76 auto repair customer. Used car sales are skyrocketing and the average age of the US private passenger fleet age is at a record high of 11.9 years. Demand for high quality, cost effective vehicle service in the CDM area is increasing, not declining. I was 100% satisfied with the auto repair service provided by Corona del Mar 76 and spend thousands of dollars annually on auto repair services. I recently stopped taking my vehicles there for repair because I lost confidence in the quality and convenience of the auto repair services I had come to trust and rely upon. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my views on the proposed changes to the PCH/Avocado service station and for your service to our community. 25-404 Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance.

Hello Chelsea, I am responding the proposed changes to the service station located at the corner of PCH and Avocado Ave in Corona del Mar. I am a resident of Avocado Avenue and this intersection is our main artery out of the neighborhood. My first concern regarding an addition of a 7-11 to the existing service station is traffic related. Heading up Avocado Ave, away from the ocean towards Fashion Island, the single lane of traffic divides into 3 lanes: one to turn left, one to continue straight, one to turn right. This area is directly adjacent to the service station. Additionally, both sides of Avocado has street parking, which reduces visibility. Currently, Drivers leaving the service station block traffic to get to that left hand turn lane, often making the first part of the turn blind due to the parked cars. Adding a 7-11 will increase the frequency of this traffic situation. As a resident, I often walk to the market across the street. Located behind the service station is an alley. Traffic coming from the alley often stops on or beyond the sidewalk to get better visibility before making the turn. Bicyclists and pedestrians on the sidewalk or in the bike lane are an after thought. 7- 11 will increase not just vehicle traffic, but also pedestrians and bicycles (kids getting a slurppee) traffic. I feel that it is already too busy of an intersection to handle the traffic of a 7-11. Finally, there is not enough parking in the neighborhood to support this 7-11. As it is, the street parking is always full or "parked" in this area. It will increase traffic in the neighborhood looking for parking. Traffic is already an issue on Avocado with it being a "back way" through the village and with visitors trying to find the beach then doing a u -turn to get out of the neighborhood. Parking on PCH will add to the congestion within the neighborhood because making a right turn onto PCH will be blocked. In all, its a busy intersection and the location right on the corner does not allow enough safe space for pedestrians/cyclists and sometimes even motorists to operate safely. Most importantly, there is already a liquor store right next to the property. This is a duplicative store on the same street, same side of the street. I believe the last thing any neighborhood needs is 2 liquor stores on the same block, not mention across the street is a grocery store with a full wine/liquor department. I am sorry that the owner of the service station is unable to continue his auto mechanic services -our family used their mechanics exclusively until there was a change in mechanics. I understand that it is a difficult time for business owners. However, I don't find that adding a 7-11 is highest and best use of that property and it will be detrimental to the neighborhood should one go in. 25-406 Thank you for your time and your consideration.

Dear Ms. Crager, I'm sure the local residents are filling your inbox today! It's rewarding to be a part of a community that is so passionate about its identity. No one wants to prevent an owner from utilizing his property for his financial benefit and with few exceptions, the responses on the NextDoor Community Forum have acknowledged this owner's transparency in the process. But NO ONE wants to see a 7/11 in the "village" of CdM. Your average 7/11 store contains a mix of products that appeal more to people passing through—stopping for snacks, drinks, alcoholic beverages and cigarettes—not products that appeal to residents. I believe Mr. Kiani could get some support from residents if he proposed a HIGH END "convenience" market (along the lines of the fabulous Irvine Ranch Market on Balboa Island which has literally transformed walkable grocery shopping for the residents of BI!) There are a lot of beach communities up and down the coast of California, but almost NONE in which the proximity of residential and commercial property enable a high degree of walkability, encouraging the strong sense of community that Corona del Mar enjoys. A 7/11 type store will take away sales from existing businesses and encourage transients to stop in the community. This particular location (on Avocado, the first of the beloved Flower Streets) is a gateway to the village. Is a 7/11 convenience store the "flag" anyone wants to see flying at the front door? There has been some buzz lately about the rumored closing of Smart & Final in CdM. As both of these key properties may be under transition, I would ask that the city of Newport Beach carefully consider the unique character of Corona del Mar before approving any development plans.

Ms. Crager, I'm writing this email in regards to the proposed development (convenience store) on the corner of PCH and Avocado in Corona del Mar. My husband and I have lived in Corona del Mar since 1987, we live on the first block south of PCH on Avocado and I believe this proposed development would be a huge detriment to our neighborhood and Corona del Mar. I will bullet point my objections below: PCH and Avocado is an extremely busy intersection, I believe this development will significantly increase the amount of cars entering/exiting this location and with the speed that cars travel on PCH and Avocado there is an increased chance of accidents. I've personally witnessed cars traveling southbound on PCH, turning into the gas station and almost being rear ended. Then you have the cars traveling south on Avocado, turning left and then immediately turning into the gas station, same thing, almost being rear ended, and then you have the folks who are traveling north on PCH and making a u -turn to go into the station, same thing. Then to top it off, there is a lot of foot traffic on the corner, as crossing the street is already dangerous, if you add the additional car traffic, someone is going to get hurt or killed. There is also a bus stop, which adds to the people on the sidewalk. I walk a lot in this town and the number of times I've almost been hit is numerous, even when I make eye contact with drivers! They just wave at me and drive on by! Parking - I read Mr. Kianipur's proposal on the NextDoor app. He states, "The new building has been designed to architecturally address the street while staying neutral towards the residential neighborhood." I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I'm extremely concerned regarding parking. He states he plans on leaving the fuel pumps and that the project will have more parking. From my observation, he doesn't have that much parking available even after he redesigns - the lot isn't very large and because of the lack of parking and the difficulty pulling in and out, people will resort to parking on the street. As I mentioned above, we live on the first block south of PCH, we already have people from the office buildings across the street NOT parking in their structures, but parking on the street. Then we have the workers from nearby restaurants parking on the street. As it stands, there are times where we have to park a couple of blocks away from our home because there is no parking for us or for our tenants. Mr. Kianipur plans to be open from 6 AM to midnight. Which will mean increased traffic, both foot and car, until very late in the evening. Like most people in the area, we do 25-409 not have air conditioning, we leave our doors and windows open and we already have so much car noise from the intersection and this will increase the number of cars and foot traffic and noise from whatever parking he has as well as people parking on the street. Mr. Kianipur states he hasn't decided on branding, but that he is considering partnering with 7-11, I'm not sure that a 7-11 fits with the current image of Corona del Mar Village. And the fact that there is already a gas station with a convenience store approximately 1 mile away at the corner of Bayside and PCH, not sure if we need another one in such close proximity. He states that it would be convenient to pick up groceries that you just ran out of ..... not sure if a 7-11 type of store would necessarily sell groceries that you just ran out of ..... there is a Bristol Farms across the street in the CDM Plaza, Whole Foods in Fashion Island, Gelsons and RiteAide on San Joaquin, Pavillions on Bayside, Smart and Final and a RiteAide in downtown CDM. That is a wide variety of stores to go to when you have run out of something. • The Korker Liquor Store, which is a mom and pop shop and has been open forever, I don't even know how long .... they were already here when we moved here, is adjacent to this proposed development, and this would most likely put them out of business. Has a traffic study been done for this proposed business model? What is the process for this? What are the next steps? Does it have to go before the planning commission for approval? Believe me, I'm not opposed to development, but I just don't think this is a good development plan for this location.

Hello Chelsea -we've been in CDM since 2001. We lived on Acacia and now Irvine Terrace. The Gas Station Project is a bad idea on many levels. From a planning perspective, why put two "liquor stores" next to each other? How is this healthy for either business? A 24 hour anything is not a good idea for the local residents. Look at break-ins in cars and residences in the Flower Street area. This is a busy enough intersection as it is. Where is the parking for the commercial space and the convenience store? In front of Korker? Korker closes at 8:30. There is a bus stop right in front of the gas station. I have seen the Homeless sleeping at the stop, hanging out in front of Korker, in the Ruby's parking lot - at all hours of the day and night but more so at night. It doesn't matter that there won't be any alcohol sales after 11:00. The fact that there would be alcohol or "convenience food" available for purchase or theft all night long, creates enough of a concern. In a broader sense, this project does nothing for the ambiance of the neighborhood or city. We are reminded every tax cycle how special CDM is -let's keep it that way.

Dear Ms Crager: I just wanted to voice my total and complete disapproval and frankly shock of consideration of a 7-11 store at entry to CDM. While I support and applaud Hamid's goal to remodel (I kinda like the charm of th old design too) - we don't need a 7-11 with liquor sale and the environment and reputation that 7-11's have around the country. CDM and Newport are surrounded by grocery and specialty food stores as well as liquor stores already. This is selfish and no regard to CDM or the character and charm that encompass this area. Why on earth would things like this be considered solely for the self serving financial interests on a single owner? Look at what's happened to Balboa island with all th cheap t -shirt shops. It always starts with one business that gets away with something like this and it becomes a slippery slope to mediocre... please don't let this happen - just on pure fact of tons of available stores within a very small radius. If he was building a true grocery, small town, clean foods etc then that is an entirely different model. I don't know for sure, but I would guess that the % of sales at a typical 7-11 that come froM alcohol and smoking products is very high.

(/news_feed/? post= 1 57453317)Hello Friends and Neighbors Many of you know me, but for those that do not, my name is Hamid Kianipur and I own the UNOCAL 76 station at the corner of PCH and Avocado. I have owned this store for almost 20 years and make my home in Corona Del Mar. I have served on the CDM Business Improvement District for almost 5 years now, and participate in the CDMRA annual meeting and the CDM Chamber of Commerce. I am committed to this community and I have served many of you by repairing your cars and making it convenient to buy gas on your way home or to work. But after many years in the auto service business, I find that most people take their cars to either the dealer or a specialist and not to the corner gas station. PROPOSAL As many of you have heard, I am proposing to remodel my Auto Service Station with a snack shop to a convenience store that will hopefully be a place where you can walk to pick up those groceries that you just ran out of, or stop, when you get gas to also get groceries and other convenience items. THE PROJECT SCOPE: • The fuel Islands will be unchanged, and will still provide UNOCAL 76 gas • The convenience store will be a new building with the same basic footprint as the existing building (I will have my personal office on the small mezzanine above u 20 (/i n box/) 25-415 https://nextdoor.com/news—feed/?post=l 57453317 2/8 8/10/2020 Proposed remodel at Union 76 station at PCH and Avocado — Nextdoor the store) Search Nextdoor The new building has been designed to architecturally address the street while staying neutral towards the residential neighborhood • We have not decided on branding at this point, but are considering partnering with 7Eleven • The project will have more parking • The project will replace and improve the landscaping • We will be open from 6AM to midnight • We will sell Beer and Wine only (alcohol sales ends at 11 PM each day) We have agreed with the city's requirement that no single serving beer or wine containers be sold, which I understand is a favorite for the homeless. I do not wish to do that type of business. I WOULD LOVE YOUR SUPPORT Please feel free to email your comments to the planner assigned to the project. As you have already seen here it is Chelsea Crager and her email is ccrager@newportbeachca.gov (mailto:ccrager@newportbeachca.gov). Or feel free to call me on my cell phone at 949-310-1999 or email me at:hkianipur@gmail.com (mailto:at:hkianipur@gmail.com).

Turning from the station onto Avocado to cross across lanes to make a left hand turn onto PCH already causes issues. Traffic backs up at that intersection heading north on Avocado to turn either left or right on PCH. Street parking on Avocado northbound narrows lanes for turning or going straight. Second concern is the possible 7/11 convenience store branding. 7/11 image does not fit with Corona Del Mar village vibe. 1 day ago Thank Reply 5 Ed Abels (/profile/479112/) • Flower Streets „ESE.

I appreciate Hamid's consideration on the impact on the residential side of the property and applaud him for his transparency as he considers how to maximize his business. We are fortunate that this business owner is also a resident of the community because he doesn't want to do any harm in his own "backyard". That said, a 7-11 doesn't sound like the kind of business that would be supported by the walking community of CdM. There are already some amazing sandwich shops, so a new one might only take away from their business. (Same concern others have for Korkers.) With all the buzz about the possible departure of Smart and Final, what about an UPSCALE convenience market like the Irvine Ranch Market on Balboa Island? If you haven't been there and seen how it has revitalized food shopping on Balboa, you should check it out. It's a vibrant addition to the community, providing everything you'd need to make a healthy dinner at home to stocking the cooler with upscale prepared food options for a day at the beach or on the boat! In any event, thanks Hamid for considering your neighbors! 4 hr ago Thank Reply 11 1 Marilynn Keller (/profile/6694841/) • Flower Streets 7-11 draws in a certain demographic in the later hours. I don't see locals frequenting it, but more likely tourists/beachgoers. I for, one would not venture in to grab a bag of chips. Also, the locals don't seem to be roaming around that late at night, so probably won't serve any purpose for them. A nice little market (non 7-11 or Circle K) that closes at 10 pm might be more palatable.

The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach will consider the following application: Corona del Mar 76 Service Station Remodel — The Applicant proposes a conditional use permit and coastal development permit to allow the remodel of an existing service repair station and convenience market, including the addition of 232 square feet, to operate as a convenience market only. The application includes a request for deviations from minimum lot size, setbacks for the retail building, the location of the air/water dispenser, and minimum landscaping requirements pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section 20.48.210 (Service Stations). The application also includes the addition of a Type 20 (Off -Sale Beer and Wine) Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license. The existing pump canopy, eight fuel dispensers, and below -grade fuel infrastructure are to remain unchanged. The convenience market would operate from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., daily, with alcohol sales from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., daily. If approved, accepted and implemented, this coastal development permit and conditional use permit would supersede and replace Use Permit No. UP1580 that authorizes the existing facility. The project is categorically exempt under Section 15301 - Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the State CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) Guidelines. All interested parties may appear and present testimony regarding this application. If you challenge this project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you raised at the public hearing or in written correspondence delivered to the City, at, or prior to, the public hearing. The application may be continued to a specific future meeting date, and if such an action occurs, additional public notice of the continuance will not be provided. Administrative procedures for appeals are provided in the Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapters 20.64 and 21.64. A fee is required to appeal any final action on a coastal development permit to the City Council. The project site is not located within the appeal area of the coastal zone; therefore, final action by the City on the applications may not be appealed to the California Coastal Commission. The agenda, staff report, and corresponding documents will be available by end of business day on the Friday preceding the public hearing, and may be reviewed at the Community Development Department Permit Center (Bay C -1st Floor), at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660 or at the City of Newport Beach website at www.newportbeachca.gov/planningcommission. Individuals not able to attend the meeting may contact the Planning Division or access the City's website after the meeting to review the action on this application. All mail or written communications (including email) from the public, residents, or applicants regarding an agenda item must be submitted by 5 p.m. on the business day immediately prior to the meeting. This allows time for the Planning Commission to adequately consider the submitted correspondence.

Thanks Chelsea. I am a long time resident of the area and I use both Korker Liqour store as well as the 76 gas station. I understand that the gas station wants to remodel and add a convenience store at the corner of Avocado and Coast Highway. My concerns are that it is already dangerous getting in and out of that space from Avacado. Adding more traffic and any additional parking will only make it more difficult I would think.

Hello Ms. Crager, I want to reach out and share my thoughts on the proposed 7 -eleven. I am not the person to stand in the way of progress. I understand that 7 -eleven might be able to generate more sales tax revenue as compared to the 76 gas station. However, I think it's major blow to the local iconic Korker Liquor. What is not missed by us Corona Del Mar residents is this family owned and run business has a unique style and service. They have molded their selections to meet the demand of the local community. From their liquor and wine selections and beyond they offer what a 7 -Eleven and their corporate product mix cannot. My concern is the impact a 7 -eleven could have being located literally next to Korker Liquor. I don't know if this has been considered already, but I would hate to see it put them out of business. Also, Korker has reasonable business hours and doesn't attract late night people/traffic. Just my thoughts.

Dear Ms. Crager, As long time residents of Corona del Mar, we would be opposed to the proposal to build a 7-11 store on the corner of Avocado and Pacific Coast Hwy, replacing the existing service station and Korker Liquor store. It would be an eyesore and cheapen the entrance to CDM. It would also attract the homeless, significantly increase parking and traffic congestion at an already busy intersection.

Dear Planning Commissioners: After years of searching for and learning about the areas from Laguna Beach to Malibu my wife and I recently bought a wonderful house in Irvine Terrace. There are many reasons that we ended up choosing this particular neighborhood, and one of them is that we are within walking distance to the CDM village and all of it's lovely shops and restaurants. Yesterday we received a notice about the proposed 7-11 at the site of the 76 station on Avocado and PCH. I am writing to express our opposition to this project and tenant at that location. While I'm generally of the opinion that a landowner should be able to do pretty much what they want with their land, I also recognize the needs of maintaining integrity in the community. We who are homeowners in Irvine Terrace understand when we make investments in these properties that there are restrictions on expansion, development, landscaping and decoration options, and though some may disagree with the standards, we all at some level understand and accept that it is because of these standards that our neighborhood is able to maintain a consistency in it's structures which ultimately translates to stability and appreciation in property values. These rules are in place for the good of the community, and they work. There may not currently be anything in the code that restricts a 7-11 from being built at the site, however I believe that we as a community have the right and responsibility to offer our opinions on this proposed project. In my opinion the presence of a 7-11, especially in such a high-profile and high -traffic location, would cheapen the overall personality of the Village and thus negatively impact the surrounding areas. This store will cause traffic, attract a bad element and increase demand on our police and first responders, among other issues which I'm sure you're hearing about. I can't think of one positive thing this would bring to the neighborhood or community. This is a prime piece of property in an exceptional area, I'm sure that a more suitable tenant could be found. I am currently a semi -retired businessman who has built multiple businesses over the years, built brands and built a factory. I tell my staff that if they come to me with complaints they should also come to me with solutions, so in following my own directives, and you've heard my complaint, I offer to volunteer, for no pay or compensation, to help the seller of that property find a better suited tenant/buyer and to assist in as much or as little asked of me through negotiations, planning, community relations and ultimately closing. I think that if we are as a community urging the Planning Commission to reject this plan then we as a community 25-436 should be willing to step up to help the current owner of the property find a solution that we can all agree on. For the sake of the integrity of our community, this proposed 7-11 project though should not be approved or allowed.

The application would replace a 1,735 sq. ft. automotive service station with a 2,400 sq. ft. convenience/liquor store.

The 7-11 would negatively impact Korker's sales and viability. And we already have two other such stores in our village. 2) This project would require a variance for parking and a variance for the radius for exiting gas pumps vs. proposed parking spaces. There have already been two crashes into the Korker's building form the gas station property. This tight ingress and egress would prompt further accidents. Also, the surrounding residential properties are already negatively impacted by on -street parking from nearby businesses. This project would exacerbate the lack of parking in our residential neighborhood. 3) Also, the project's architectural design is out of character with the Corona del Mar village community. 25-441 Finally, this project greatly illuminates the need for the preparation of a CDM Business Village Specific Plan, similar to the that performed for Balboa Village.

This is a big deal to those of us that live near this intersection. I hope you and the planning department give our comments serious consideration when making your decisions for the future of this corner. My first and strongest concern is about the additional traffic this will generate at that corner. Turning from the station onto Avocado to cross across lanes to make a left hand turn onto PCH already causes issues. Traffic backs up at that intersection heading north on Avocado to turn either left or right on PCH. Street parking on Avocado northbound narrows lanes for turning or going straight. Another traffic consideration is the rate of speed some travel eastbound on PCH, many times people turning right into this station have to hurry and get on to the property to avoid getting rear ended.... it's happened to me! Second concern is the possible 7/11 convenience store branding. 7/11 image does not fit with Corona Del Mar village vibe. We have a high end shopping center on one corner and a 7/11 on the other???

Re: Proposed 76 Gas Station Construction Project As a long time resident of Avocado Avenue in Corona Del Mar I am against allowing this project to move forwards for several reasons: Corona Del Mar is a family oriented community. We take pride in being a walkable family oriented community with a village feel. Corona del Mar has a special enjoyable community feeling and unique esthetics we choose to maintain; abundant greenery, trees and shrubs. Sidewalks and parks and our wonderful beaches. These elements, among other help us keep village feeling in our peaceful community. The proposed project on the corner of PCH and Avocado Avenue is too large for the lot size it is on. This is not the type of use the residents who live and work here want to support. What exactly are the findings they seem minimal compare to other cities. What is unique about this lot and furthermore this project that they don't need to meet code? The building already doesn't meet code for gas station! Why the proposed store needs to be so large? The two existing service bays could be used instead of a new construction of a very large store. Keeping the store in the existing building would not require all these deviations from existing codes. Existing codes keep our neighborhood aesthetically pleasing, peaceful and green. If the property is 13,853 SF and the project requires 15,326 SF, obviously they are trying to build too big of a building, i.e. over building for the size of the Lot Why can't the project redevelop the structure to fit the Lot? 6 feet variances tell us the building would be too big Many of us believe a mini mart at a gas station doesn't fit the profile of the village of Corona del Mar, our neighborhood Doesn't this set a precedent for future development?? How could you than deny the next request for a building to large for the site??? Why cant the size of the building be reduced to be able to conform to the size of the Lot, so landscaping that is required by existing codes could be provided? Aren't these so-called variances to the code, in reality are code modifications? 25-450 Couldn't the elimination of the requested zero setback variance to code be achieved by reducing the size of the structure? The service bays could be incorporated into retail space. This would eliminate an environmentally "dirty" use of the property. Isn't the loss of a 10 feet setback by the alley quite significant? Isn't the loss of traffic circulation arrangement presented actually caused by not relocating the gas pumps? Couldn't the required traffic circulation be achieved by relocating the gas pumps?? Isn't overbuilding the reason dose cant be met on this project? Isn't not moving the gas pumps negatively impacting the code required landscaping? Cities in California are supposed to reduce greenhouse gases to 1990 levels, how does giving landscape variance to this project not contribute to additional greenhouse gases. Trees help with greenhouse gases and are aesthetically pleasing; doesn't giving a variance from the required 15% landscaping negatively impacts our environment and the beauty of our community? Doesn't giving a variance on planter size on Avocado Ave and East Coast Highway from 5 feet to 4.5 feet also impacts the size and amount of trees that can be installed? A 5 -foot planter allows for a tree to prosper more, 5 feet is the minimum size, is it not for growing a proper tree. Are the total numbers of trees being provided in the landscaping, the number that would be needed for this project? Is there adequate space for landscaping? is there adequate space for trees? Isn't a 10 -foot setback for air and water much better than the 4 foot requested? Couldn't the traffic circulation problem be resolved by a smaller building?

Good morning, hope this finds you well. Not sure how to address a city official, so I'll keep this short and succinct, highlighting just a few concerns over the proposed 7Eleven partnership with 76 gas station off PCH (and proposed changes for that gas station all together). #1. I imagine we're all proud of the charm this little town has to offer, in large part the reason why many of us chose to live here. There's not one argument that could show "charm" in 7Eleven. This project would go against the nature and culture of our town and will trigger a series of unfortunate events which will ultimately lead to decreased property values and increased health and hazard risks. #2. I'd love to know who could point to one 7Eleven that doesn't have a homeless issue? There is no doubt in our minds that this type of business will attract more homeless into our neighborhoods. That is simply unacceptable. With increased homeless will come health and sanitation hazards. Safety issues. Community issues, etc. #3. (and stepping outside the 7Eleven "partnership", to address some concerns regarding this project all together). The project addresses "more parking". Why chip away at the current landscape for more parking? How often does that corner have parking issues and concerns? #4. Selling beer and wine - with the Liquor store literally next door and Korker liquor and Papa liquor all within 1 mile. Not to mention Manning Edward and Coast Grab -N -Go less than a mile away too. Can't forget all the grocery stores within 1 mile too, where wide selections of alcohol are sold as well. The options are readily available for alcohol within a 0.6 mile radius of this gas station. The town doesn't need another store like this, that by virtue would attract more homeless, take the charm away from that corner and from there the slew of other issues that will derive. This is not the culture of our town! Politics aside, the responsibility and weight you carry, is to protect the integrity, safety and values of Corona Del Mar and I cannot think of any counter arguments that could outweigh the above.

Ms. Crager and Mr. Herdman, This is to register my opposition to the proposed 7/11 convenience store in Corona del Mar. A 24-hour store of this type will attract homeless individuals and increased crime, and is completely unnecessary to our community. We already have Korner Liquor right there, in addition to other small convenience stores, as well as Smart and Final and Bristol Farms. The homes located on Avocado near PCH already have plenty of pedestrian and homeless individuals because of the businesses already in the area. My wife and I walk the entire area of Corona del Mar daily, and already see plenty of homelessness, with frankly frightening people sleeping and shouting at the beach, in parking lots, bus stops (there's a bus stop at the proposed 7/11 location, too), and in the seating provided outside coffee shops, etc. We do not need to encourage more of this with such a well-known target as a 7/11. Please vote no on this proposal. Thank you. Tim O'Neil Resident of Corona del Mar 25-461 From: Scott Tucker <s.tucker@faroint.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2020 11:23 AM To: Herdman, Jeff; Crager, Chelsea Cc: mickeyds@me.com Subject: Vote No on the proposed 7/11 Style Gas & Convenience Store [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Mr. Herdman and Ms. Crager, I am a deeply concerned homeowner living within the Irvine Terrace Community at 1839 Sabrina Terrace, CDM, CA. 92625, It is my understanding the City of Newport Beach Planning Commission will be voting to approve a 7/11 style gas & convenience store business located at the corner of Avocado Ave. & PCH. The current 76 Service Station provides gas & service to automobiles in the surrounding community. Removing the auto service function from this location and replacing it with a convenience shopping center will only further entice the expanding homeless population to shop and populate the corner. There is already a bus stop at this location where homeless tend to sleep and congregate the area. Further populating of the area will increase the risk of unintentional vehicle & pedestrian mishaps. As you know, many cars and other vehicles drive past this location and further populating this corner wil I only increase the risk accidents. Homeless have also been breaking into our cars and homes within our Irvine Terrace Community which will only increase if you further entice convenient shopping and congregation at the corner of Avocado & PCH. It is also important to note that further stimulating a homeless problem at the entrance of Corona del Mar will not convey a solid image for our community. For the above reasons, please do not approve the 7/11 style gas & convenience store business at the corner of Avocado Ave. & Pacific Coast Highway.

Remove Tandem Parking and Driveway Parking spaces for a total of 10 Parking spaces (plus 8 Fueling positions which provide parking f or the C -Store while fueling). 8. Make easterly driveway along PCH a one way exit only driveway. Approvals Required: 1. New Use Permit/Coastal Development Permit (PA2019-27) replacing the existing Use Permit 1580 -UP 2. Remodel existing 1,763 SF Auto Service/ C -Store facility a. Build a new addition of 232 SF 3. Modification of Service Station Standards required (per 20.48.210) a. Minimum Lot Size b. Landscaping Justification and Findings for the Conditional Use Permit: 1. The use is consistent with the General Plan and the Local Coastal Plan; a. The subject property has a General Plan land use designation of Commercial Corridor ("CC") within the General Plan. The CC designation is intended to provide for areas appropriate for a range of neighborhood -serving retail and service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster pedestrian activity. Fuel/service stations and convenience stores are permitted uses within this land use designation with approval of a use permit. The larger convenience store and existing service station are consistent with this designation. b. The service station development is located at the South corner of East Coast Hwy and Avacado Avenue. East Coast Highway provides a primary transportation route through the city. The proposed expanded convenience store and existing service station development will provide services for visitors to the City as well as residents and employees of businesses located within the area and throughout the City. c. The subject property is not part of a specific plan area. 2. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code; a. The Property is located in the Commercial Corridor ("CC") Zoning District. The CC designation is intended to provide for areas appropriate for a range of neighborhood -serving retail and service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster pedestrian activity. The existing service station development is located at the intersection of a major road (East Coast Hwy) and a secondary road (Avacado Avenue) and will provide services for residents of the 25-465 PROJECT DESCRIPTION LETTER OF JUSTIFICATION PA2019-027 GDM -UNOCAL MAY 24, 2021 PAGE 3 surrounding area, employees of businesses located within the area, and visitors to the City. 3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity; a. The Property is located at the South corner of East Coast Hwy and Avacado Avenue. The site is abutting residential properties to the south and commercial properties to the west, north and east. The Property provides a convenient location for residents and employees of the neighboring areas as well as visitors to the City traveling on East Coast Highway to purchase fuel and convenience items. 4. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating characteristics, and the provision of public and vehicle access and public services and utilities; and a. The project is located at the intersection of a primary road and a secondary road. The size of the Property is adequate for the intended use. The existing station has opperated for over 50 years and has a demonstrated history of success. Vehicular access to the site is provided via three existing driveways, two adjacent to East Coast Highway and one adjacent to Avacado Avenue. The project is located and designed to provide adequate circulation and parking on-site for the service station and convenience market. b. The subject Property is developed with the existing service station, convenience store, and 3 service bays. There is adequate public and emergency vehicle access, public services, and utilities, which are existing on the site to accommodate the proposed project development. c. The improvements to the project site will comply with all City of Newport Beach Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes. All ordinances of the City and all conditions of approval will be complied with. 5. 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. a. The existing service station, convenience store, and service bays have been in operation since 1972 pursuant to Use Permit No. 1580 when the station replaced and older, obsolete and outdated service station that had been there for decades. The development has not proven detrimental to the area, and has demonstrated that it is compatible with the neighboring residential uses. b. The service bays are located at the rear of the site to minimize noise and light impacts to the residential uses to the south of the project. Elimination of the service 25-466 PROJECT DESCRIPTION LETTER OF JUSTIFICATION PA2el S-027 GDM -UNOCAL MAY 24, 2021 PAGE 4 bays and increasing the size of the convenience store will eliminate the current noise from the service bays and the use will be more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. 6. The strict compliance with the standards is not necessary to achieve the purpose and intent of this section. Modification or Waiver of Standards Minimum Site Size: Statement of Facts: Existing site with the existing uses: (according to the current standards) 8 existing fueling positions to remain 8x1,500=12,000SF 3 service bays x 1,OOOsf= 3,000 SF 500 SF Convenience Store x 3.33sf= 1,665SF Total Site Required = 16,665 SF Existing Site = 13,853SF Proposed Project: 8 existing fueling positions to remain 8x1,500=12,000SF 1,995 SF Convenience Store x 3.33sf= 6,643SF Total Site Required = 18,643 SF Existing Site = 13,853SF Justification: a. The strict compliance with the standard is not necessary to achieve the purpose and intent of NBMC Section 20.48.210. a. The existing station has opperated for over 50 years and has a demonstrated history of success on a site that does not meet the minimum size requirements of the current code. b. We have downsized the project considerably. As the attached traffic study indicates, the trips generated by the proposed project are not significantly different than the existing project, therefore the proposed project should continue to meet the intent of NBMC Section 20.48.210. b. The project possessed compensating design and development features that offset impacts associated with the modification or waiver of standards. 25-467 PROJECT DESCRIPTION LETTER OF JUSTIFICATION PA201 S-027 GDM -UNOCAL MAY 24, 2021 PAGE 5 a. The project will enhance the appearance of the Property with updated and improved, strategically located, landscaping. New landscaping will comply with the requirements of the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance ("W E LO"). b. The Property will be developed with an expanded and enhanced convenience store building. The building will be 18 feet high, with the architectural projections at 23.5 feet. The building architecture is designed to provide an attractive appearance that is compatible with and complimentary to the surrounding area. The existing building location maximizes its ability to block off-site noise from Coast Hwy for the benefit of the residents to the south of the project. c. The overall site plan and architectural design is consistent with the City of Newport Beach Design Guidelines: "Automobile Service Stations and Washing". a. The site plan and architectural design of the expanded convenience store and the existing service station is consistent with the City of Newport Beach Design Guidelines: Automobile Service Stations and Washing. The proposed improvements to the existing building architecture will provide an attractive appearance that is compatible with and complimentary to the surrounding area. The building elevations reflect architecturally treated wall surfaces to prevent monotony. Minimum Landscape Standards NBMC Section 20.48.210 seeks a 5' minimum planter size on the perimeter planters and planters between driveways, and a 15% minimum site area for landscaping. Statement of Facts: a. The proposed planter on the east property line is "sawtoothed" and Meets the 5' requirement, but because of the one way angled parking it is not 5' throughout the planter. b. The proposed Landscape Area is 11.8% which is below the minumum 15% required. The landscaping is strategically located at the corner and at the property lines and will meet the city requirements as far as plant material and irrigation. These are located in locations that give maximum visual impact. The existing grade conditions, restrictive site conditions and desire to block off-site noise from Coast Hwy make it imposible to achieve the site design and meet the landscape coverages. Justification: a. The strict compliance with the standard is not necessary to achieve the purpose and intent of NBMC Section 20.48.210. 25-468 PROJECT DESCRIPTION LETTER OF JUSTIFICATION PA2el S-027 GDM -UNOCAL MAY 24, 2021 PAGE 6 a. The east property line landscaping, because of its sawtooth design will allow the trees required by the city to be installed and will meet the intent of trees in the code. The parking and the adjacent building will block views of the planter and most people will not be aware that the planter does not meet the strict adherance to the standards. b. The balance of the required percentage of landscaping would normally be along the alley, but with the grade difference would never be viewed, so the 11.5% landscaping in lieu of 15% landscaping will appear no differently to the public. c. The proposed project should continue to meet the intent of NBMC Section 20.48.210 b. The project possessed compensating design and development features that offset impacts associated with the modification or waiver of standards. a. The project will enhance the appearance of the Property with updated and improved, strategically located, landscaping. New landscaping will comply with the requirements of the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance ("WELO"). b. The Property will be developed with an expanded and enhanced convenience store building. The building will be 18 feet high, with the architectural projections at 23.5 feet. The existing building wall/roof will remain along the south property line to minimize impact. c. The building architecture is designed to provide an attractive appearance that is compatible with and complimentary to the surrounding area. The new parapet around the existing building will allow rooftop equipment to be fully screened. This building location maximizes its ability to block noise from Coast Hwy. c. The overall site plan and architectural design is consistent with the City of Newport Beach Design Guidelines: Automobile Service Stations and Washing. a. The site plan and architectural design of the expanded convenience store and the existing service station is consistent with the City of Newport Beach Design Guidelines: Automobile Service Stations and Washing. The proposed improvements to the building architecture will provide an attractive appearance that is compatible with and complimentary to the surrounding area. The building elevations reflect architecturally treated wall surfaces to prevent monotony 25-469 PROJECT DESCRIPTION LETTER OF JUSTIFICATION PA2019-027 GDM -UNOCAL MAY 24, 2021 PAGE 7 7. The project possesses compensating design and development features that offset impacts associated with modification or waiver of standards. a. The project will enhance the appearance of the Property with updated and improved, strategically located, landscaping. New landscaping will comply with the requirements of the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance ("WELO"). The Property will be developed with an expanded and enhanced convenience store in the existing building. The building will be 18 feet high with architectural features that will be 23.5 feet at the highest. The building architecture is designed to provide an attractive appearance that is compatible with and complimentary to the surrounding area. The building is located in the same location as the existing location and is similar in size and mass. This building location maximizes its ability to block noise from Coast Hwy. 8. The overall site plan and architectural design is consistent with the City of Newport Beach Design Guidelines: Automobile Service Stations and Washing. a. The site plan and architectural design of the expanded convenience store and the existing service station is consistent with the City of Newport Beach Design Guidelines: Automobile Service Stations and Washing. The proposed improvements to the building architecture will provide an attractive appearance that is compatible with and complimentary to the surrounding area. The building elevations reflect architecturally treated wall surfaces to prevent monotony. b. The landscaping onsite will be improved to more closely comply with Zoning Code requirements and will comply with the WELD. Irrigation will be updated to drip zone valves where possible to increase water efficiency. 9. Traffic Analysis. The project complies with the Traffic Phasing Ordinance. The project has a traffic analysis based on the ITE Manual as follows: a. Utilizing the ITE designation for the esxisting station as a Gasoline/Service Station (ITE Code 944) the existing Average Daily Trips (ADTs) for the project would be projected to be 1,376 ADTs. Land Use: 944 - Gasoline/Service Station. This land use includes gasoline/service stations where the primary business is the fueling of motor vehicles. The sites included generally have a small building (less than 2,000 gross square feet) that houses a cashier and limited space for motor vehicle maintenance supplies and general convenience products. A gasoline/service station may also have ancillary facilities for servicing and repairing motor vehicles and may have a carwash. The existing project is a 1,763 SF building. 25-470 PROJECT DESCRIPTION LETTER OF JUSTIFICATION PA2el S-027 GDM -UNOCAL MAY 24, 2021 PAGE 8 b. The designation for the proposed use as a Gasoline/Service Station w/convenience market (ITE 960) projects 1,070 ADTs. This designation is predicated on the C -Store size of approximately 2,000-3,000 SF with at least 10 fueling positions. This convenience store is 1,995 SF with 8 fueling positions. Land Use: 960 - Super Convenience Market/Gas Station This land use includes gasoline/service stations with convenience markets where there is significant business related to the sale of convenience items and the fueling of motor vehicles. Some commonly sold convenience items include newspapers, freshly brewed coffee, daily -made donuts, bakery items, hot and cold beverages, breakfast items, dairy items, fresh fruits, soups, light meals, ready -to -go and freshly made sandwiches and wraps, and ready -to -go salads. Stores typically also had automated teller machines (ATMs), and public restrooms. The sites included in this land use category have the following two specific characteristics: • The gross floor area of the convenience market is at least 3,000 gross square feet • The number of vehicle fueling positions is at least 10 c. This provides for a net increase of 272 ADTs, which is less than the threshold of 300 ADTs when a Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) would be required. 10. Beer and Wine type 20 offsite license. a. The Newport Beach Police Department analysed the project (see attached report) and determined that a Public Convenience and Necesity (PCN) letter is required. The PCN is required when either there and "over concentration" for alcohol premises in two ways. 20% higher crime with an alcohol nexis in a reporting district compared th ethe city-wide average or an "over -saturation" of licenses in the Census Tract compared to the city-wide average. This reporting district is reported to ABC as a high crime area as compared to other reporting districts in the City. The RD's Crime Count is 335, 141 % over the City-wide crime count average of 134. Since this area has a 20% greater number of reported crimes than the average number of reported crimes as determined from all crime reporting districts within the City, the area is found to have undue concentration. In comparison, neighboring RD 39 is 253% above the City-wide average, RD 42 is 33% lower, and RD 43 is 70% lower. The highest volume crime is burglary/theft from automobiles and the highest volume arrests are drug-related. 25-471 PROJECT DESCRIPTION LETTER OF JUSTIFICATION PA2el S-027 GDM -UNOCAL MAY 24, 2021 PAGE 9 DUI, Public Intoxication, and liquor law violations make up 23% of arrests in this reporting district. In comparison, the figure for neighboring RD 39 is 20%, RD 42 is 29%, and RD 43 is 33%. However, these statistics do not differentiate the fact that many of these alcohol related crimes are from the retail liqour licenses and not the off- site licenses. They also do not take into consideration that PCH is a thoughoughfare and the origins of the alcohol dated crimes do not necessarily originate in this census tract. This location meets the legal criteria for undue concentration as it relates to crime. (B&P §23958.4). But a case can be made that the Off -Site License that is proposed, would not contribute to these statistics. The applicant premise is located within census tract 0627.01. This census tract has an approximate population of 2,800 residents with 14 active retail alcohol licenses. That is a per capita ratio of 1 license for every 200 residents. Per the Business and Professions code, we compare this per capita ratio to Orange County's per capita ratio of 1 license for every 467 residents. Since the area's ratio exceeds the ratio of on -sale retail licenses to population in the county, the area is deemed to have an undue concentration of alcohol licenses. Specifically, B&P §23958.4 requires a comparison of off sale licenses. There are currently three off sale licenses in this census tract. Korker Liquor is located directly next door to the applicant premise. Leverage Wines and Johndrow Vineyards are both internet-based companies located in residences. The per capita ratio of off -sales licenses in this census tract is 1 to 1400. Per the Business and Professions code, we compare this per capita ratio to Orange County's per capita ratio of 1 off sale license for every 1590 residents. Since the area's ratio exceeds the ratio of off sale retail licenses to population in the county, the area is deemed to have an undue concentration of off sale alcohol licenses. If you were to consider these statistics without including the residence - based internet-only sale of wine, the per capita ratio would be 1 to 4,200 residents, much less than the 1 to 1,590 residents average of Orange County. This location meets the legal criteria for undue concentration as it relates to over saturation of alcohol licenses (B&P §23958.4). Although this location "technically" meets the legal criteria, a case can be made that there isn't an over -concentration because the resindence based off-site licenses do not serve the "walk-in" public. b. Typically a convenience store, by its market design provides a PCN. As it provides a convenience that may prevent the need for additional car trips (ADTs) 25-472 PROJECT DESCRIPTION LETTER OF JUSTIFICATION PA2019-027 GDM -UNOCAL MAY 24, 2021 PAGE 10 as patrons that are stopping for gas can pick up food needs, including alcohol, without making an additional stop at another location. c. Should this project be approved, the Police Department has determined the following conditions would mitigate any potential negatives associated with alcohol sales and would be appropriate for the business: 1. The applicant shall comply with all federal, state, and local laws, and all conditions of the Alcoholic Beverage License Material violation of any of those laws or conditions in connection with the use is a violation and may be cause for revocation of the use permit. 2.

This training must be updated every 3 years regardless of certificate expiration date. The certified program must meet the standards of the certifying/licensing body designated by the State of California. The establishment shall comply with the requirements of this section within 60 days of approval. Records of each owners manager's and employee's successful completion of the required certified training program shall be maintained on the premises and shall be presented upon request by a representative of the City of Newport Beach. 3. No alcoholic beverages shall be consumed on any property adjacent to the licensed premises under the control of the licensee. 4. No alcoholic beverages shall be sold between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. 5. Patrons shall be required to show valid identification to verify age at the point of sale for alcohol. 6.

Wine shall not be sold in bottles or containers smaller than 750 ml. 8. No person under the age of 21 shall sell or deliver alcoholic beverages. 9. There shall be no exterior advertising or signs of any kind or type, including advertising directed to the exterior from within, promoting or indicating the availability of alcoholic beverages. interior displays of alcoholic beverages or signs that are clearly visible to the exterior shall constitute a violation of this condition. 10. The exterior of the business shall be maintained free of litter and graffiti at all times. The owner or operator shall provide for daily removal of trash, litter, and debris from the premises and on all 25-473 PROJECT DE5CRIPTION LETTER OF JUSTIFICATION PA2019-021 GDM -UNOCAL MAY 24, 2021 PAGE 11 abutting sidewalks within 20 feet of the premises. Graffiti shall be removed within 48 hours of written notice from the City. 11. The applicant shall post and maintain a professional quality sign facing the premise's parking lot that reads: NO LOITERING, NO LITTERING, NO DRINKING OF ALCOHOL BEVERAGES VIOLATORS ARE SUBJECT TO ARREST 12. The operator of the facility shall be responsible for the control of noise generated by the subject facility. All noise generated by the proposed use shall comply with the provisions of Chapter 1026 and other applicable noise control requirements of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. 13. The applicant shall maintain a security recording system with a 30 -day retention and make those recording available to police upon request. This project will update an existing 50 year old facility to meet modern needs and will enhance the community aesthetics. The project will provide services to residents, employees that work in the area, and visitors to the community. The convenience aspect will allow customers to take care of business while fueling, thus saving additional trips to the community.
