Planning Commission Meeting January 22, 1976 Agenda Item No. 7 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH January 16, 1976 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Department of Community Development SUBJECT: Proposed General Plan Amendments for the February, 1976 Amendment Session Pursuant to City Council Policy Q-1, General Plan Amendment Sessions are held three times per year, with Planning Commission public hearings in the months of February, June and October. Four amendments to the General Plan are proposed for the February, 1976 Amendment Session: 2. 3. Requested reinitiation of General Plan Amendment No. 32 -- proposed amendment to the Land Use Element to add "Administrative, Professional and Financial Commercial" as an alternate use, in addition to the "Recreational and Marine Commercial" designation for the property at the southeast corner of Bayside Drive and Marine Avenue. (At its November 20, 1975 meeting, the Planning Commission removed this item from the October, 1975 group of General Plan Amendments to allow for discussion of possible public use with the nearby neighborhood associations. The meeting with the neighborhood associations is scheduled for January 20, 19,76; staff will report verbally on the results of this meeting to the Planning Commission.) Proposed amendment to the Land Use Element to change the designation of a portion of the industrially -designated area of the Newport Place Planned Community to "Retail and Service Commercial". (Requested by Snyder -Langston, Inc., general contractors -- letter attached.) 4. Proposed amendment to the Land designation of a portion of the area of the Koll Center Planned "Administrative, Professional, "Retail and Service Commercial" Newport -- letter attached.) Use Element to change the industrially -designated Community to a mixture of and Financial Commercial" and . (Requested by Koll Center A fifth General Plan amendment should be added if the Planning Commission desires to consider a reduction of the permitted density on the "land trade remnant"; this amendment would change the wording on Page 25 of the Residential Growth Element to reduce the permitted maximum density on the land trade remnant parcel. In response to a suggestion by the City Attorney, staff suggests that a new numbering system and modified procedure be initiated with the February, 1976 amendment session. (Attached is the November 20, 1975 memo from the City Attorney.) The numbering system would label all of the February, 1976 amendments TO: Planning Commission - 2 as General Plan Amendment 76-1, with each individual amendment receiving a letter designation. (e.g., the first amendment would be labeled General Plan Amendment 76-1-A, the second amendment labeled 76-1-B, etc.) The procedure would require that all individual amendments be formally adopted at one time and by one action of the Planning Commission. Recommended Action City Council Policy Q-1 states in part: "If the Planning Commission, after examination, is convinced that the proposed change is worthy of consi'deration, it may initiate amendment as set forth above" (by setting a public hearing). "If not, the Commission shall forward the request to the City Council with its recommendation that consideration of amendment is unwarranted." Staff suggests that those amendments that the Planning Commission finds worthy of consideration be set for public hearing at the February 12, 1976 Planning Commission meeting.

The subject site is a 5.317 acre lot at the west corner at Jamboree Boulevard and Birch Street within Roll Center's industrial site number two. The current General Plan designation is general industrial and its current zoning is light industrial as defined in the Planned Community Development Standards. We are currently working towards a program for developing this lot. This program requires that the land use element of the General Plan be revised to allow a mixture of retail and service commercial and administrative, professional and financial commercial. These uses are illustrated on the attached proposed land use exhibit dated December 18, 1975. Within this mixture of land uses we propose to develop the lot with administrative, professional and financial uses with some limited retail uses such as restaurants. Specific limits. and guidelines for the proposed development will be finalized in an amendment to the Planned Community Development Standards following this requested General Plan amendment. A negative declaration, including a supplementary traffic study, will be presented as part of this subsequent phase. The Roll Center Newport "village area" was conceived in September of 1972. The implementation process has been one of continued cooperation and dialogue between our single ownership development and the City of Newport Beach staff, Planning Commission and City Council. We feel that this proposed amendment to the land use 4100 MacArthur Blvd. • Newport Beach • Callfornla 92660 • (714) 833-9123 E Planning Commission Page Two December 19, 1975 element of the General Plan and subsequent amendment of the Planned Community Development Standards is in keeping with the established long range common goals and will result in a desirable development of the subject site. The proposed uses of this site will serve the needs and improve the "Planned Community Concept". In addition, we feel that this change is in keeping with the General Plan's long range goal of "assuring harmonious groupings of uses and assuring a continuing high commercial tax base". It is Koll Center Newport's desire to be scheduled for the February General Plan amendment session. We are at your disposal and look forward to working with you on this project.

OAL VOI,NIA V0003 PHONPi (213)'J00-DD30 • MEMORANDUM DATE: November 20, 1975 TO: Community Development Director FROM: City Attorney SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment Procedure Under our current procedures, General Plan Amendments are processed three times a year in February, June and October. Section 65361 of the Government Code states that mandatory elements of the general plan cannot be amended more frequently than three times a year. We have been interpreting this section to mean, and I be- lieve rightfully so, that the Planning Commission cannot initiate amendments more than three times a year. Because certain amendments are continued from time to time, the City Council in practice ends up actually adopting amendments more than three times a year. After surveying the procedures of various other cities and counties in California, we have concluded that we should change our policy to conform to that of the majority of the other jurisdictions we contacted, that is processing General Plan Amendments as a group from beginning to end. Should one of the amendments be held up for some reason then all amendments should be held in abeyance pending resolution of that amendment which was delayed. If that particular amendment cannot be resolved within a reasonable time, then it should be continued over until the next group are ready to be processed. The Planning Commission should informally act on each amendment separately, perhaps by a straw vote. When all of the various amendments have been acted upon, the Planning Commission should take one formal vote on the entire amendment package. I would suggest that each group of amendments be labeled as one separate amendment Memorandum to Community Development Director Page Two November 20, 1975 with the individual amendments being labeled as sub -parts of that main amendment. The City Council should follow the same procedure. I realize that this new procedure will probably cause you much administrative difficulty. I believe, however, that in an attempt to comply with a literal interpreta- tion of Section 65361, we should make an effort to give it a try beginning with the February amendments. If we find the -new procedure is entirely unworkable, then we will have to work something else out. It should be noted nothing in this memo is to be interpreted as a waiver of our right as a Charter City to reinstate our original procedures for processing General Plan Amendments, if we deem it to be necessary, nor are we in any way implying that prior amendments have not legally been adopted.
