the application, and he addressed the following concerns, that
were expressed at the foregoing Planning Commission meeting.
Mr. Diem addressed concerns regarding the rear access on the
alley portion of the property and the fire lane. He stated that
two of the proposed units will require the use of the alley for
vehicular access, and he described the design and setback of the
four garages that will access off of Carnation Avenue. Mr. Diem
stated that the applicants will pay for the striping and signage for
the fire lane on Dahlia Place and Dahlia Avenue. Mr. Diem
further stated that the applicants will pay for a sign at the comer
of Dahlia Place and Dahlia Avenue indicating the private alley
has no through access. He addressed the turnaround area that
will be provided in the alley to ease the traffic circulation, and
he stated that the plans have been modified to allow for a
greater backup area out of the garage immediately adjacent to
Seaview Avenue. Mr. Diem referred to the letter from Steven
Johnson, dated September 16, 1989, on behalf of the China Cove
Condominium Association, stating that their previous concerns
regarding the establishment of a fire lane have been satisfied and
the Association is supporting the project.
Mr. Diem addressed the rear stairwell encroachment, and he
explained that there will be a•four foot access as required by the
Fire Department.
Mr. Diem addressed the reverse comer setback area, and he
described the colored chart that was previously submitted to the
Planning Commission depicting the three alternate proposals and
how each proposal would affect the adjacent views. Mr. Diem
also described each alternative from enlarged photographs taken
at the site and what affect the project would have on the
neighbors' views from the second and third floors. Mr. Diem
submitted photographs depicting how the stakes were placed as
requested by the neighbors.
Mr. Diem suggested the Planning Commission approve the
project with the rear stairwell four foot encroachment and the
reverse comer setback, the "purple plan" alternative, the fourth
alternative for the reverse corner setback area. He explained that
on the third floor of the "purple plan", the setback meets the
Code requirement and does not need modification; that the "red
plan" on the second floor is below the neighbors' line of sight

and does not have any visual impact; and a modification would
be required on the first level adjacent to the neighbors' garages.
In response to a question posed by Mr. Hewicker, Mr. Diem
submitted and described a photograph of a view from the second
floor balcony of the adjacent property.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Debay, Mr.
Diem explained that the description of Waiver of Combining
Requirement as stated is the original description of the
application when submitted by the applicants. William Ward,
Senior Planner, explained that the description "to allow a portion
of the structure to encroach 2 feet into the required 6 foot
reverse comer setback adjacent to Seaview Avenue at the rear
of the property . is red plan alternative.
Commissioner Pers6n advised that the Planning Commission not
set a precedent by getting involved in the protection of private
views and private property. ' Chairman Pomeroy and
Commissioner Pers6n discussed the amount of involvement the
Planning Commission should consider to accomodate a group of
citizens who have expressed their concerns regarding view impact.
Mr. Diem addressed the description of the modification request
in the Wavier of Combining Requirement, and he explained that
"open stairway to encroach 7 feet" has been modified to 6 feet.
In response to questions posed by Commissioner Debay, Mr.
Ward explained that the conditions stated in Exhibit "A, were
written as originally proposed by the applicant but the conditions
will be revised to reflect the following' ("purple plan alternative"
on the third floor, the "red plan alternative" on the second floor
and the first floor would consist of a four foot setback as
originally proposed). Mr. Diem suggested that a condition be
added stating that the applicants agree to pay for a fire lane as
previously stated.
Mr. Michael Mack, 2524 Seaview Avenue, appeared before the
Planning Commission. He stated that the proposed project is not
setting a precedent, and he supported the modifications that were
made to the project. In response to a question posed by Mr.
Mack, Mr. Hewicker replied that the photographs on display are

These applications involve a request to amend a portion of Districting Map No. 17 so
as to establish a 10 foot front yard setback along the Carnation Avenue (private)
frontage of the subject property. The proposal also includes: a request to waive the
requirement for the combining of lots in conjunction with the proposed project; a request
to approve a Coastal Residential Development Permit for the purpose of establishing
project compliance fora 6 unit residential condominium development pursuant to the
Administrative Guidelines for the implementation of the State Law relative to Low -and -
Moderate -Income Housing within the Coastal Zone; and the approval of a modification
to the Zoning Code so as to allow an open stairway to encroach 7 feet into a required
10 foot rear yard setback and to allow a portion of the structure to encroach 2 feet into
the required 6 foot reverse comer setback adjacent to Seaview Avenue, at the rear of
the property. Amendment procedures are set forth in Chapter 20.84 of the Municipal
Code; provisions for the waiver of the requirement to combine individual lots or
portions of lots into a single building site are set forth in Section 20.87.090 of the
Municipal Code; Coastal Residential Development Permit procedures are set forth in City
Council Policy P-1; and modification procedures are set forth in Chapter 20.81 of the
Municipal Code.
Environmental Significance
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA
Guidelines and City Council Policy K 3, an Initial Study has been prepared for the
proposed project. Based on the information contained in the initial study, it has been
determined that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project and is attached for
the Planning Commission's information.
r�
The subject property is currently developed with a 19 unit apartment building and related
garage spaces. Said building was originally built as a hotel in the early 20's; however,
a search of the Building Department records revealed that in 1950 and again in 1954,
alterations and additions were permitted to the building, including a small garage
structure. This was prior to any City requirements for on -site parking or the
establishment of density standards. The 19 unit apartment building that evolved from
the original hotel does not conform with the current Zoning Code pertaining to parking,
density and setback requirements. The property is comprised of portions of four lots, a
portion of the vacated Carnation Avenue and a portion of a vacated alley. To the
northeast is an old apartment building; to the southeast are two condominium
developments; to the southwest, across Seaview Avenue, are duplexes; and to the
northwest, across the abandoned portion of Carnation Avenue are single family dwellings
and two four unit condominium developments.

,,, „ No 685 aid Carnation Avenue Setback
In accordance with Section 20.16.045 of the Municipal Code, the front yard etbac
requirement for the subject property is 20 feet measured from the original right-of-way
line of Carnation Avenue. Said requirement is based on the standard setback for the
R-3 District inasmuch as the subject property has no setback identified on the Districting
Map. It is also noted that Districting Map No. 17 includes a 10 foot front yard setback
for all the properties on the opposite side of Carnation Avenue as well as on both sides
of Carnation Avenue in the next block (see attached vicinity map). In light of this
situation, the applicant is proposing to establish a 10 foot setback on Districting Map
No. 17 for that portion of the subject property which fronts on Carnation Avenue
(private street). Staff has no objections to such a proposal inasmuch as said setback is
consistent with the front yard setback requirement for other properties along Carnation
Avenue. It should also be noted that the adjacent property located northeasterly of the
site, currently maintains an 8± foot front yard setback on Carnation Avenue.
»ae and Setback Adi^c nt to Seaview Avenue
In accordance with Section 20.16.045 B of the Municipal Code, the side yard setback
ack
requirement in the R-3 District, for parcels that are 40 feet or wider, is 4 feet; p
that the side yard setback on the rear 20 feet of the street side of a corner lot, where
there is a reverse frontage, shall not be less than the front yard required or existing on
the adjacent reversed frontage. In the case of the subject project, the adjoining lot
located southeasterly of the site has a reverse frontage and maintains a 6± foot setback
for the existing decks adjacent to Seaview Avenue. Therefore, the subject project is
required to provide a 4 foot setback along Seaview Avenue, except for the last 20 feet
adjacent to the southeasterly property line, where the required setback is 6± feet. As
shown on the attached plans, the applicant is proposing a 4 foot building setback on each
floor of the entire building frontage adjacent to Seaview Avenue except for the last 16
feet of the building closest to the southeasterly property line where the ground floor
building setback will be 4 feet (2 foot encroachment into required 6 foot reverse comer
setback). In addition, the applicant is requesting approval of second and third floor
decks which encroach 2 feet into the required 6 foot reverse corner setback. It is staffs
opinion that the ground floor setback encroachment along Seaview Avenue should not
be detrimental to the adjoining property inasmuch as it does not have any ground floor
gig area With regards to the second and third floor deck encroachments, the
ilding setback of 7 feet for
applicant has agreed to provide a second and thud floor bu
the entire frontage of unit "F' (16 ft. of frontage), in order to permit the second and
third floor deck encroachments. It should be noted that the applicant is currently

Circulation
As shown on the attached plans, three of the proposed units will have vehicular access
from Carnation Avenue and the other three units will have vehicular access from the
private alley at of rear of the site.
twalls adjacAs ent t on the attached the private alley lans 'atthe rear of design
and placement of buildings l
property, have taken into consideration he vehicular backup area needed for the
adjoining three story building and the two story condominiums on the opposite side of
the private alley. It should be noted that the proposed ramp area adjacent to the private
alley will also provide additional maneuvering area within the alley so as to provide
easier turn around space for anyone using the alley. It should also be no
that the
proposed access and circulation for the project has been approved by the City Traffic
Engineer and the Public Works Department.
It should also be noted that staff has received comments from some of the property r
owners in the neighborhood who use the private alley at the rear of the site. Said
comments are in regards to the illegal parking that takes place within the Rrivate alley
during the evening and on weekends, and which prevents emergency vehicle access to the
rear of the properties using the alley. It appears that many of the property owners are
in favor of establishing a 14 foot wide fire lane within the private alley, including the
subject applicant. Should a majority of the property owners wish to have afire lane, and
the City Fire Chief feels that it is justified, such a fire lane can be established. In any
case, the establishment of a fire lane should not effect the decision regarding the
proposed "project, inasmuch as there are adequate alternatives available to the Fire
Department in order to insure adequate fire protection of the property in question. The
Fire Chief is currently reviewing the possibility of establishing the subject fire lane.
('oa�tal Residential Develonanent Permit
Inasmuch as the proposed project is located in the Coastal Zone and contains more than
two dwelling units, the applicant must comply with Council Policy P-1 which requires
JO; Planning Commission-7.
the inclusion of low or moderate income housing in the Coastal Zone, where feasible.
As indicated in the attached feasibility analysis performed by Tarantello and Company,
it will not be feasible for a low or moderate income unit either on -site or off -site in
conjunction with the development of the proposed project. Therefore, in accordance with
Council Policy P-10 no affordable units are required.
As indicated previously, the subject property is comprised of portions of four lots, a
portion of vacated Carnation Avenue and a portion of a vacated alley. In accordance
with Section 20.87.020 A of the Municipal Code, where a new building is planned to
cross existing property lines, no new construction may be permitted until such time as
said lots or parcels have been combined into a single building site. However, in
accordance with Section 20.87.090 B of the Municipal Code, when buildings are planned
to be constructed over existing lot lines, and where said building site is found to be in
multiple ownerships in fee, leasehold or other estate in real property, the requirement
for a resubdivision as required in Subsection A may be waived by the Planning
Commission upon the finding that the estate in the real property is of sufficient length
to guarantee that the lots or parcels which constitute the site will be held as a single
entity for the economic duration of the building improvements to be placed on the site.
Said section also provides that the Planning Commission or City Council, on appeal, may
impose such conditions as deemed necessary to secure the purpose of Title 20 of the
Newport Beach Municipal Code. It should also be noted that inasmuch as the applicant
intends this project to be sold as a condominium project, he will be requesting approval
of a Tentative Tract Map prior to the completion of the project. Staff has no objections
to the waiver of the combining requirement inasmuch as all the conditions which the
Planning Commission would require in conjunction with the combining of the parcels can
be made conditions of the waiver. In regards to establishing a single parcel for
condominium purposes, that will be accomplished in conjunction with the 'filing of a
tentative tract map application which must be approved by the Planning Commission and r
the City Council prior to occupancy of the condominium units.
Cyo�oiPcted Actions
Staff has attached three exhibits which include findings and conditions in support of three
different actions relative to the subject applications. Should the Planning Commission
wish to approve all of the applications as submitted, the findings and conditions set forth
in the attached Exhibit "A" are suggested. Should the Planning Commission wish to
approve all of the applications but deny the requested modification for side and rear yard
encroachments, the findings and conditions of approval set forth in the attached Exhibit
"B" 'are suggested. Should the Planning Commission wish to deny the waiver of
combining requirement and the requested modifications but approve Amendment No. 685
and Coastal Residential Development Permit No. 14, the findings set forth in the
attached Exhibit "C" are suggested.

the application, and he addressed the following concerns that
were expressed at the foregoing Planning Commission meeting.
Mr. Diem addressed concerns regarding the rear access on the
alley portion of the property and the fire lane. He stated that
two of the proposed units will require the use of the alley for
vehicular access, and he described the design and setback of the
four garages that will access off of Carnation Avenue. Mr. Diem
stated that the applicants will pay for the striping and signage for
the fire lane on Dahlia Place and Dahlia Avenue. Mr. Diem
further stated that the applicants will pay for a sign at the corner
of Dahlia Place and Dahlia Avenue indicating the private alley
has no through access. He addressed the turnaround area that
will be provided in the alley to ease the traffic circulation, and
he stated that the plans have been modified to allow for a
greater backup area out of the garage immediately adjacent to
Seaview Avenue. Mr. Diem referred to the letter from Steven
Johnson, dated September 16, 1989, on behalf of the China Cove
Condominium Association, stating that their previous concerns
regarding the establishment of a fire lane have been satisfied and
the Association is supporting the project.
Mr. Diem addressed the rear stairwell encroachment, and he
explained that there will be a four foot access as required by the
Fire Department.
Mr. Diem addressed the reverse corner setback area, and he
described the colored chart that was previously submitted to the
Planning Commission depicting the three alternate proposals and
how each proposal would affect the adjacent views. Mr. Diem
also described each alternative from enlarged photographs taken
at the site and what affect the project would have on the
neighbors' views from the second and third floors. Mr. Diem
submitted photographs depicting how the stakes were placed as
requested by the neighbors.
Mr. Diem suggested the Planning Commission approve the
project with the rear stairwell four foot encroachment and the
reverse corner setback, the "purple plan" alternative, the fourth
alternative for the reverse comer setback area. He explained that
on the third floor of the "purple plan", the setback meets the
Code requirement and does not need modification; that the "red
plan" on the second floor is below the neighbors' line of sight

and does not have any visual impact; and a modification would
be required on the first level adjacent to the neighbors' garages.
In response to a question posed by Mr. Hewicker, Mr. Diem
submitted and described a photograph of a view from the second
floor balcony of the adjacent property.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Debay, Mr.
Diem explained that the description of Waiver of Combining
Requirement as stated is the original description of the
application when submitted by the applicants. William Ward,
Senior Planner, explained that the description "to allow a portion
of the structure to encroach 2 feet into the required 6 foot
reverse corner setback adjacent to Seaview Avenue at the rear
of the property", is -red plan alternative.
Commissioner Pers6n advised that the Planning Commission not
set a precedent by getting involved in the protection of private
views and private property. • Chairman Pomeroy and
Commissioner Pers6n discussed the amount of involvement the
Planning Commission should consider to accomodate a group of
citizens who have expressed their concerns regarding view impact.
Mr. Diem addressed the description of the modification request
in the Wavier of Combining Requirement, and he explained that
"open stairway to encroach 7 feet" has been modified to 6 feet.
In response to questions posed by Commissioner Debay, Mr.
Ward explained that the conditions stated in Exhibit "A" were
written as originally proposed by the applicant but the conditions
will be revised to reflect the following: ("purple plan alternative"
on the third floor, the "red plan alternative on the second floor
and the first floor would consist of a four foot setback as
originally proposed). Mr. Diem suggested that a condition be
added stating that the applicants agree to pay for a fire lane as
previously stated.
Mr. Michael Mack, 2524 Seaview Avenue, appeared before the
Planning Commission. He stated that the proposed project is not
setting a precedent, and he supported the modifications that were
made to the project. In response to a question posed by Mr.
