Planning Director Hewicker presented an outline format
for use during the public hearing to help structure the
discussion on the General Plan Amendment and related
Amendment and Tract Map items.
General Plan Amendment 83 -1(A) is a proposal to amend
the Newport Beach General Plan which pertains to the
parcel of land on Marguerite which is referred to as
Jasmine Park; the Fifth Avenue parcel which is the
Corona del Mar Cottage Homes; and the Buck Gully
Parcel.
General Plan Amendment 83 -1(D) pertains to the Fifth
Avenue/MacArthur Parcel which is referred to as Brisa
del Mar. The types of issues that generally come under
the General Plan hearing are density increases being
proposed; issues of open space and recreation uses and
parks; affordable housing; senior citizen housing;
traffic and circulation.
Mr. Hewicker stated that when the public hearing is
opened regarding the specific projects Corona del Mar
Cottage Homes, Jasmine Park and Brisa del Mar, that the
items for discussion include height limits; design and
improvements of alleys; lot sizes and landscaping;
numbers of parking spaces; heights of structures; and
preservation of views.
Mr. Hewicker recommended that first the general types
of issues regarding the General Plan Amendment be
heard, and secondly, the recommended specific issues
regarding Corona del Mar Cottage Homes, Jasmine Park
and Brisa del Mar be heard.
Mr. Hewicker commented that staff received
correspondence prior to the Planning Commission meeting
from Jean Lyons, 1014 Sea Lane opposing the General
Plan Amendment; William Kennedy and Associates opposing
Brisa del Mar; and Donald and Ruth Keenan, Sandcastle
Avenue, Corona del Mar, opposing Corona del Mar Cottage
Homes.
The public hearing opened in connection with this item,
and Mr. David Neish, Urban Assist, Inc., appeared
before the Planning Commission on behalf of the
applicant, The Irvine Company. Mr. Neish presented a
brief background of the General.Plan Amendment 83 -1(A)

to the Planning Commission by stating that in January,
1983, the Planning Commission considered a General Plan
Amendment and forwarded recommendations to the City
Council. Before any action was taken by the City
Council, The Irvine Company withdrew the request for
two reasons: the need for senior housing and recreation
and open space issues to be addressed in the Recreation
and Open Space Element review.
Mr. Neish stated that the city has shown since that
time, an increasing interest in the Corona del Mar
area, specifically to preserve environmental resources;
to provide recreation and open space opportunities; to
provide for a variety of housing needs in the
community, including affordable and senior housing.
The General Plan Amendment as proposed by The Irvine
Company will involve density increases on three sites
resulting in three housing types: apartments, attached
single family housing and detached single family
housing. Mr. Neish stated that a commitment has been
made by The Irvine Company to permanently designate
Buck Gully as an open space area. A view park and
expansion for Oasis is being proposed, and affordable
housing and senior housing is being proposed.
Mr. Neish stated that the current General Plan allows
108 units on the subject sites. Under the proposed
General Plan the total would be 223 units, an increase
of 115 units. The Brisa del Mar site would be increased
to 16.0 density units/buildable acre; the Jasmine Park
site would be increased to 6.7 density units/buildable
acre; the Corona del Mar Cottage Homes would be
increased to 9.8 density units/buidable acre. The
Irvine Company agrees with the City that the proposed
project is compatible with the overall development
pattern in the area.
Mr. Neish explained that the The Irvine Company
selected Brisa del Mar for senior housing for several
reasons, namely: that the MacArthur Boulevard /Fifth
Avenue/East Coast Highway site area is conveniently
located; that the site is near Newport Center and the
medical facilities located at Newport Center; that
MacArthur Boulevard is a major transportation corridor;
that the Orange County Transportation District will be
relocating a major facility near MacArthur Boulevard;
and that the 16.0 density units/buildable area would be
more compatible with the proposed site than the other
sites in the project area.

In regard to open space and parks, Mr. Neish stated
that the development rights of Buck Gully would be
eliminated by the removal of the alternate low density
designation of Buck Gully and that the Land Use Element
of the current General Plan will be in conformance with
the City's Coastal Land Use Plan. The draft Recreation
and Open Space Element that shows an expansion of the
OASIS park site on the Corona del Mar Cottage Homes

a parcel be suitable for the OASIS expansion, according
to Mr. Neish. The Irvine Company has stated that the
view park on the Jasmine Park site and the greenbelt
corridor along Jasmine Creek on the westerly side will
be incorporated.
Mr. Neish stated that a lot near the intersection of
Poppy Avenue and Fifth Avenue will be redesigned to
provide a view corridor up Buck Gully from the end of
Fifth Avenue.
• In reference to affordable housing, Mr. Neish informed
the Planning Commission that 84 affordable units will
be provided at the Brisa del Mar site which will
include 60 matching units for Newport Center.
Mr. Neish stated that The Irvine Company has proposed
that the senior housing will consist of 96 units, 84 of
these units will be affordable housing, a minimum of
fifty percent (48 units) will be reserved for seniors
on a 90 day basis. The Irvine Company proposes that
seniors will be classified as 55 years and older. If
the seniors do not rent the units within a reasonable
period of time, then The Irvine Company would rent to
non - seniors. Senior citizens would have the first
right to rent the specifically designed senior units.
The projects as proposed will provide a variety of
housing types, namely: apartments, attached single
family, and detached single family housing. Mr. Neish
also stated that the project will provide for a variety
of economic ranges.
In reference to traffic and circulation, Mr. Neish
cited that the proposed land uses would generate an
estimated 2,110 daily trip ends, an increase of 706
. daily trips from the current plan. Mr. Neish explained
that the Environmental Impact Report did not assume
occupancy by seniors, but included a standard
generation, which would be an average of 13 trips per
unit. Under a senior plan the average would be 5 to 6
trips per unit, or 300 to 500 fewer trips per day, that

Mr. Miller stated the following reasons regarding the
request for the 80 foot land strip: to avoid
encroachment on OASIS' main entry and exit; that the
strip would prohibit homeowners from. using OASIS'
parking lot; that the strip would enable clear space to
the alleyway; to provide additional parking space; and
to provide an area for a future adult day care center.
Mr. Miller cited that OASIS has no interest in the
property dividing OASIS and Harbor View .Hills. Mr.
Miller stated that OASIS would not object if The Irvine
Company graded the stated strip of land providing that
an agreement would be made with the homeowners on
Sandcastle Drive that a retaining wall be built and
that landscaping be provided by The Irvine Company
after the grading is completed. OASIS would prefer if
the stated strip of land would not be disturbed and
continued in the ownership of The Irvine Company.
Mr. Miller commented that The Irvine Company advised
• OASIS at the November 19, 1984, meeting at OASIS that
there would be some view blockage on the Buck Gully end
of Sandcastle Drive because of two -story homes near the
end of Buck Gully and Fifth Avenue. Mr. Miller stated
that the Harbor View Hills homeowners would be viewing
unsightly alleyways and OASIS would have traffic
congestion.
Mr. Miller cited the following reasons why senior
housing would not be compatible with the Brisa del Mar
area: lack of basic commercial service businesses
within walking distance; that a two -story development
would not be satisfactory; Fashion Island is a
high - priced shopping center; and that there are no
sidewalks along MacArthur Boulevard and that there is
only a block- and -half of sidewalk along Fifth Avenue.
Mixing young families and senior citizens would not be
successful according to Mr. Miller, citing the
recreation center and pool area. Mr. Miller commented
that many seniors will not be able to afford the
proposed rents of Brisa del Mar. Mr. Miller cited that
the City paid $1.2 Million to The Irvine Company in
Development Block Grant Funds for the North Ford area
that OASIS opposed.
• Mr. Miller presented several reasons why the senior
housing should be located on the east side of OASIS:
that more units per acre can be constructed than
conventional housing; single story houses would not
block the view of residents in Harbor View Hills; that
there would be less traffic noise than the MacArthur

area; that the seniors would be conveniently located
near the OASIS center; that there are convenient
commercial businesses concentrated at the east end of
Corona del Mar and within walking distance of the
recommended site; and that the Irvine Company would not
have difficulty renting and selling homes adjacent to
the senior center. Mr. Miller stated that there is a
need for low- income senior citizen housing within the
city.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Eichenhofer regarding qualified seniors for the 85 unit
senior housing, Mr. Miller stated that there are
qualified seniors from low income to high income, and
that there are many seniors that would desire to be

Road and San Joaquin Hills Road be completed before the
three proposed sites are completed.
Mr. Edgar Williams, 105 No. Bayfront, Balboa Island,
President of OASIS, presented statistics that were

a senior village consisting of independent living near
-the senior center.
Mr. J. R. Blakemore, 2509 Harbor View Drive, Corona del
Mar, a member of OASIS, appeared before the Planning
Commission, expressed concern regarding the traffic
surrounding the proposed development of 96 apartment
units on six acres on the south side of Sea Lane, near
MacArthur Boulevard and Goldenrod Street. Mr.
Blakemore cited the four proposed entrances planned for
Sea Lane and the dangers that could be incurred by
using the MacArthur Boulevard /Sea Lane entrance or the
area from East Coast Highway. Mr. Blakemore stated the
following recommendations: that the current General
Plan be retained as a low density area between
Goldenrod and MacArthur; that vehicular access to the
proposed site would only be available on Fifth Avenue;
the senior apartments be constructed east of OASIS;
that a 5.3 density unit be constructed on a 15 acre
parcel and a 4.9 density unit be constructed on a 9 1/2
acre parcel.
Mr. John P. Kelley, 717 Goldenrod Avenue, Corona del
Mar, appeared before the Planning Commission opposing
the density of Brisa del Mar and the shift of
affordable housing from Newport Center to the proposed
site. Mr. Kelley also expressed his concern regarding
the public notices that were mailed to adjacent
homeowners stating that they misrepresented the hearing
by stating that Brisa del Mar would consist of
residential condominiums instead of apartments.
Mr. Edward Bruce Kingsmill,..representing Jasmine Creek
Association, appeared before the Planning Commission,
stating that the Association would like some assurance
that no buildings or trees would obscure their views on

indicated he is representing himself. Mr. Clark stated
that he would favor the Corona del Mar Cottage Homes
site as a low density area. Mr. Clark commented that
Marguerite Avenue is currently a highly traveled area,
and high density increases would greatly affect the
current property values on Sandcastle Drive. In
response to Commissioner Turner, Mr. Clark stated that
he believes that the homeowners would oppose a 15
units/buildable acre apartment project.
Mr. Dick Sweet, 406 Pirate Road, Newport Beach, First
Vice President of OASIS appeared before the Planning
Commission, stating that the population of Newport
Beach has shifted from a community of families with
school age children to one of senior citizens, and
recommended that The Irvine Company take this matter
under consideration.
Mr. John Dawson, 2152 Vista Delrado, Newport Beach,
appeared before the Planning Commission, and expressed
concern regarding the term "residential condominiums"
as it appears on the public notices, indicating that
the term is misleading. Mr. Dawson recommended that
medium density be considered for the Brisa del Mar
site, and he commented that one of the reasons he
opposes the increase in traffic to the surrounding area
is because of the neighborhood school adjacent to the
proposed site.
Ms. Patricia Temple replied that the public notice was
published on the basis of the application for a
residential condominium tract map.
Mr. Bud Desenberg, 2331 Bayside Drive, Newport Beach,
appeared before the Planning Commission, by supporting
the presentation made by Mr. Miller of OASIS.
Mr. Ronald Kennedy, 550 Hazel Drive, Corona del Mar,

In response to Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Hewicker stated that
there is no record of dedication of the Jasmine Creek
parcel, and that there will be a cut" on the northern
end of the Jasmine Park site to keep the building
height down.

using Fifth Avenue.
Mr. Dick Nichol, President of the Corona del Mar
Community Association, appeared before the Planning
Commission, stating that the Association is in
opposition to 83 -1 A, B, C, and D. Mr. Nichol read a
letter from the Association dated January 23, 1985,
addressed to the Planning Commission, citing the
following reasons for their opposition: heavy traffic,
pedestrian and vehicular safety, small setbacks and
lack of open space, no parks usable for recreation,
completing Grant Howard Park, and the Association's
recommendation that a moratorium on high density should
be made until a viable traffic solution is found.
•
In answer to a question posed by Commissioner Person,
Mr. Nichol confirmed that the Association is opposing
Parcel A, Parcel B, Parcel C, and Parcel 83 -1(D).
Responding to a discussion with Mr. Hewicker and
Commissioner Turner, Mr. Nichol stated that the
Association has a concern regarding how Buck Gully can
be used satisfactorily for the local residents.
Commissioner Turner asked Mr. Clark, President of the
Harbor View Homeowner's Association, how the Harbor
View Hills residents would respond to the development
of Buck Gully, and Mr. Clark replied that he was not in
a position to make a statement for the Harbor View
Hills South Homeowner's Association; however, it was
his opinion that they would prefer to keep it as an
open space, or possibly as a low- density residential
area.
Mr. Nichol commented that one of the purposes of
affordable housing is to integrate affordable housing
with other developments, and not to concentrate the
affordable housing altogether.

favor of single family housing instead of apartments;
and recommended that a sidewalk be built from the

Mr. Ty Camaras, 932 Sandcastle Dr., Corona del Mar,
appeared before the Planning Commission. opposing the
proposed developments because of the overcrowded
traffic conditions, specifically the Marguerite Avenue
and Sandcastle Drive intersection; and he stated that
the proposed developments would be selling below the
current market and, thereby, would be affecting the
prices of the existing homes.
Mr. Ron Covington, 707 Orchid Avenue, Corona del Mar,
appeared before the Planning Commission, stating that
he is opposing the high density of the proposed
developments citing the affordable housing from Newport
Center to the concentrated density of Brisa del Mar;
that there is no trade -off for the residents of Corona
del Mar, and that the open space in Buck Gully would
benefit only the residents of Harbor View Hills and the
proposed Cottage Homes, and that the Corona del Mar
residents would have the traffic; that the residential
streets from Marguerite Avenue to Poppy Avenue and East
Coast Highway will be a traffic liability to the city.
Commissioner Person stated his concern regarding the
traffic analysis and environmental documents of the
General Plan Amendment, and questioned whether the
Planning Commission should take the proposed General
Plan Amendment of Newport Center into consideration
during the time of the present applications. City
Attorney Robert Burnham replied that the environmental
consultant and staff are currently studying the
situation and a response will be made to the Planning
Commission in the near future.
Commissioner Koppelman queried Mr. Webb if there had
been a traffic study done at the intersection of Poppy

Mr. Ty Camaras, 932 Sandcastle Drive, Corona del Mar,
appeared before the Planning Commission, expressing his
concern regarding the traffic at the intersection of
Marguerite Avenue and Sandcastle Drive. Mr. Webb
replied to Mr. Camaras that the recent traffic study
has projected that an additional 400 trips a day will
be generated on Marguerite Avenue after the projects
are completed; and that because Marguerite Avenue is
designated as a four -lane undivided highway, that
Marguerite Avenue will be able to accommodate the extra
traffic.

APPLICANT:Superformance, Corona Del Mar
OWNER: Rypinski Family Trust, Costa Mesa
Commissioner Goff asked staff to comment on the reason
why seven off- street parking spaces would be adequate
for five employees, which would leave a balance of only
two parking spaces for the public.
The public hearing opened in connection with this item,
and Mr. David Hirson, 1201 Dove St. Newport Beach,
appeared before the .Planning Commission as a
representative of the applicant. Mr. Hirson commented
that additional customer parking spaces are not
required because the garage has a pick -up and delivery
service for the customer's automobile, and four
automobiles is the maximum number serviced each day.
Also, one of the facility's automobiles is out everyday
to pick -up and deliver customers, automobiles or
automobile parts.
Mr. Hirson stated that in reference to Condition No. 9,
that the applicant should not be responsible for any
alterations to the structure as the applicant is
leasing the building. In reference to Condition No.
11, Mr. Hirson stated that the applicant believes that
there is an existing use permit for one of the subject
lots for auto repair. Mr. Hewicker replied that the
previous use permit is no longer in effect. In response
to a question posed by Commissioner Kurlander, Mr.
Hirson replied that the applicant has a single
eight -year lease on both parcels of land. Mr. Hewicker
advised Mr. Hirson that if one of the uses in the
stated use permit would change, then the applicant
could return to the City for a change in conditions.
Mr. Hewicker advised the applicant that Condition No. 9
can be changed to read "that the applicant or owner
shall make all necessary alterations ".
Commissioner Goff confirmed that he is not satisfied
with the seven on -site parking spaces.
Mr. Dick Nichols appeared before the Planning
Commission, opposing the application because of the
lack of parking spaces. Commissioner Person commented

Attorney Burnham explained the meaning of Condition No.

The public hearing closed at this time.
x Commissioner Goff made a motion to continue Use Permit
No. 3130 to February 21, 1985, so that the applicant
would have time to seek additional parking spaces at
an off -site location.
Commissioner Turner made a substitute motion to approve
Use Permit 3130, subject to the findings and conditions
in Exhibit "A', with a change in Condition No. 9 to
read "that the applicant or owner shall make all
necessary alterations ".
Commissioner Goff stated that, he will not support the
substitute motion because he believes that more than
two parking spaces are necessary for the customers.
Commissioner Koppelman stated that she will not be
supporting the substitute motion because of the heavy
traffic in the Marguerite Avenue and East Coast Highway
area, and also that seven parking spaces are not
adequate for the business.
Mr. Hirson stated that the parking space area that is
presently being used for two display vehicles could be
used for additional customer parking.
