To allow for the placement of a sign on 1501 Westcliff Drive, Newport Beach which

signage which would be more desirable from the neighborhood's standpoint than two (2)
two hundred (200 SF) square foot signs which are permitted under the ordinance.
Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances involved?

They have the same owner and are managed by the same company. The distance from the
proposed location of the common sign to the adjoining parcel is approximately 25 feet.
Why is an exception permit necessary to protect a substantial property right?
Approval would protect the signage rights of 1515 Westcliff without unnecessarily
constructing a second sign for 1515 Westcliff which would clutter the area from a signage
standpoint.
Why will proposal not be detrimental to the neighborhood?
It will benefit the neighborhood through a reduction in total signage that otherwise would be
placed in the property.

FROM:. Planning Department
SUBJECT: Exception Permit No 47 (Discussionl
Request to permit the construction of an off -site double-faced
monument sign to be erected in conjunction with two existing office
buildings located at the corner of Westcliff Drive and Dover Drive, on
property located in the APF-H District.
LOCATION: Parcel 1 of Parcel Map 7529-476 (Resubdivision No 195), located at
1501 Westcliff Drive, on the southwesterly comer of Westcliff Drive
and Dover Drive, across the street from the Upper Castaways Planned
Community.
ZONE: APF-H
APPLICANT: In -Site Real Estate Services, Costa Mesa
OWNER: Gold Realty Company, Costa Mesa
Application
This is a request to permit the construction of an off -site, double-faced, multi -tenant
monument sign to be erected in conjunction with two existing office buildings located at the
corner of Westcliff Drive and Dover Drive, on property located in the APF-H District.
Section 20.06.060 of The Newport Beach Municipal Code provides that off -site signs are
subject to securing the approval of an exception permit by the Planning Commission.
Environmental Significance
The proposed sign has been reviewed and it has been determined that it is categorically
exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 11
(Accessory Structures).
• 0
TO: Planning Commission - 2
Conformance with the General Plan
The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the subject property for
"Administrative, Professional and Financial Commercial" uses. The subject off -site sign is
a permitted use within this designation and is ancillary to the office uses located on the
subject property. The proposed off -site sign is consistent with the Land Use Element
policies and guidelines.
Subject Property and Surrounding Land Uses
The subject property located at 1501 Westcliff Drive, which is the proposed location for the
new off -site sign, is currently occupied by a 3 story multi -tenant office building located at
the southwesterly corner of Dover Drive and Westcliff Drive; immediately to the west is a
an office building which is requesting advertising on the proposed off -site sign. The two
buildings informally share an adjacent parking lot and the complex contains a mixture of
professional and business office uses., To the north of the subject property, across Westcliff
Drive, is the Westcliff Villas residential condominium. complex; 'to the east across Dover
Drive is vacant land (Upper Castaways); and to the south and west is a mixture of office
uses and related parking areas.
Anai si
The proposed sign will advertise the tenants of the on -site building as well as the tenants
of the single story office building (1515 Westcliff Drive) located to the west of the subject
property and will be for identification purposes. The design of the subject sign maybe seen
on the attached elevations, indicating the dimensions and proposed colors of the sign. The
sign is approximately 8 feet in height, will be internally illuminated and is comprised of
individual panels with an overall area of approximately 50 square feet. The proposed sign
will replace the existing free-standing sign which identifies Health South Sports Medical.
It is intended that the sign will direct motorists travelling eastbound on Westcliff Drive and
southbound on Dover Drive into the subject complex, although it may also be viewed by
motorists travelling west along Westcliff Drive or north along Dover Drive.
Inspection of the subject property revealed the presence of two free-standing signs. One of
the signs identifies a tenant of the subject property and the second sign is a leasing sign
which identifies the leasing company and a phone number. The applicant has indicated that
the tenant sign will be removed upon completion of the monument sign which is the subject
of this application. The leasing sign is a permitted use in accordance with Section 20.06.080
B of the Municipal Code and may remain. The sign is limited to a maximum area of 20
square feet.
TO: Planning Commission - 3
Public Works Concerns
The Public Works Department has indicated a concern with regard to the proposed location
of the sign and sight distance requirements for the street and public sidewalk located in
front of the proposed sign. The Public Works Department therefore suggests that the sign
be relocated, elevated or redesigned as a pole sign, so as to improve visibility and sight
distance for vehicles traveling eastbound on Westcliff Drive turning southbound onto Dover
Drive, should a traffic back up occur on Dover Drive. This will also improve pedestrian and
bicycle visibility and sight distance. The applicant has agreed to either relocate or redesign
the sign structure so as to not impair the sight distance. The appropriate condition of
approval has been incorporated into the attached Exhibit "A".
Applicant's Statement of Support
In accordance with Section 20.06.090B of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, in order to
grant an exception permit, the Planning Commission must find that the granting of such a
permit is necessary to protect a substantial property right, will not be contrary to the
purpose of Chapter 20.06, and will not be materially detrimental to the health, safety,
comfort or general welfare of persons residing in the neighborhood, or detrimental or
injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood, or to the general welfare of the
City.
In response to the above requirements, the applicant has submitted the attached statements
in support of his application.
Staff is of the opinion that the request is reasonable and concurs that this request will
reduce the number of signs that would otherwise be permitted by Code. Staff is also of the
opinion that should the neighboring property (1515 Westcliff Drive), which intends to be
identified by the subject off -site sign, erect a freestanding sign on -site, then any identification
on the off -site sign should be removed and this approval rendered null and void. The
appropriate condition of approval has been incorporated into the attached Exhibit "A".
Specific Findings and Recommendations
Should the Planning Commission wish to approve this application, the findings and
conditions set forth in the attached Exhibit "A" are suggested. Staff cannot reasonably make
any findings for denial, and therefore, no exhibit is provided.

To allow for the placement of a sign on 1501 Westcliff Drive, Newport Beach •which
advertises the tenancy of 1515 Westcliff as well as 1501 Westcliff Drive. The buildings
appear to share one parcel and this request would allow the signage to conform with that
appearance. The signage requested is significantly less in size and number that is permitted
i under the present ordinance.
ne• A.P.F.
Present.Use: 'Office and Banking
Why will proposal not be contrary to the purpose of the Sign Ordinance?
Approval will result in the placement of a total of fifty (50 SF) square feet of tasteful
signage which would be more desirable from the neighborhood's standpoint than two (2)
two hundred (200 SF) square foot signs which are permitted under the ordinance.
Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances involved?
The two parcels (1501 & 151.5 Westcliff) share entrances, parking and landscape areas.
They have the same owner and are managed by the same company. The distance from the
proposed location of the common sign to the adjoining parcel is approximately 25 feet.
Why is an exception permit necessary to protect a substantial property right?
Approval would protect the signage rights of 1515 Westcliff without unnecessarily
constructing a second sign for 1515 Westcliff which would clutter the area from a signage
standpoint.
Why will proposal not be detrimental to the neighborhoodl
It will benefit the neighborhood through a reduction in total signage that otherwise would be
placed in the property.
