Mr. William Laycock stated that the applicant has
developed an interim parking proposal whereby the
existing development would be able to remain on site
during construction. Mr. Laycock cited that the
Planning Commission normally does not get involved with
interim parking plans; however, staff is concerned with
the proposed interim parking proposal and has suggested
a condition stating "that no existing on -site parking
be removed from the site until the City Traffic
Engineer has approved an interim parking plan for the
existing remaining uses on the site."
Mr. Laycock referred to a letter to the Planning
Commission submitted by the attorney of the Grace
Restaurants Company, owners of Coco's Restaurant and
Baxter Street Restaurant.
Mr. Laycock recommended that the Planning Commission
suggest changes to the interim parking proposal so that
the City Traffic Engineer could study the proposals at
a later date.
Chairman Winburn recommended that this item be
continued from two to four weeks in order that
additional time be provided to gather the information
that has been requested by staff.
City Attorney Burnham recommended that in the event the
Planning Commission approves this item, that the
Planning Commission submit recommendations to the
Traffic Engineer regarding the interim eparking
proposal, and that the existing businesses also be
given the opportunity to comment regarding the parking
plan.
Mr. Walter Koons, representing Mr. Sorge Yavar, Yavar
Industries, appeared before the Planning Commission on
behalf of the applicant, stating that there is no
objection to continue the item. Mr. Burnham advised

Chairman Winburn requested staff to state the changes

Commission and City Council meetings in November, 1983.
Ms. Patricia Temple stated that staff recommends
approval of the proposed project subject to the same
findings and conditions as previously approved by the
Planning Commission. Ms. Temple cited three new
conditions as follows: Condition No. 59 was
inadvertently omitted from the original findings and
conditions; Conditions No. 60 and 61 relate to the 24
month expiration of the Use Permit, and the ability of
the Planning Commission to add or modify conditions of
approval subject to the specific determination of the
Planning Commission.
Ms. Temple commented that originally three conditions
required contributions to noise walls in the West
Newport area, adjacent to Eastbluff, and in the Irvine
Terrace area, and there was an additional condition
that required a contribution of Fair Share; these
conditions have been eliminated from the conditions of
approval since those items are now covered in the
City's Fair Share Ordinance and are automatically
required at the time Building Permits are issued.
Ms. Temple stated that Condition No. 29 was modified at
the request of the City Traffic Engineer and the Public
Works Department, and will require that the bus
turnouts and bus shelters required to be installed
shall be maintained by the applicant and shall display
no advertising; Condition No. 30 was corrected to

Condition No. 31 was deleted because it was redundant

that sewer capacity was available, and Condition No. 31
was substituted which requires that if the Public Works
Department feels that it is necessary, that a study be
prepared indicating that adequate sewer facilities are
available.
Ms. Temple explained that Condition No. 36 was revised
at the request of the City Traffic Engineer and will
require that all spaces be 9 feet by 18 feet wide which
is the standard commercial parking spot dimension
unless a modification is approved by the City. She
said that some of the parking spaces on the proposed
layout were 8 1/2 feet wide and the City Traffic
Engineer did not feel that there was any justification
for that dimension. She commented that the dimensions
may result in a reduction of parking spaces but the
parking study in the original project shows that there
was an excess of parking available on the site and this
dimension should be accommodated.
Ms. Temple stated that upon the request of the Public
Works Department that Conditions No. 23, 24, and 25, be
added which basically relate to repairs of sidewalks
and that the water service be provided by the Irvine
Ranch Water District.
Mr. David Neish, Urban Assist, Inc. representing the
applicant, appeared before the Planning Commission. He
stated that the purpose of the application is to allow
additional time for completion of the project. Since
November 1983, when the Planning Commission and City
Council approved the original Use Permit, the hotel has
been remodeled and refurbished, and that there may not
be adequate time to prepare the plans and obtain
permits required by the City before the original Use
Permit expires in November 1985. Mr. Neish explained
that the plans have not changed since 1983, and that
there is no intent to make any changes. Mr. Neish
stated that the applicant is proposing that
construction will begin one year from now in 1986..

Mr. Neish concluded his presentation by stating that
the proposed expansion of the Sheraton Hotel is
identical to that proposed project in November, 1983,
and that the development will be in accordance with all
of the City's regulations.
Ms. Temple indicated that the previous traffic study
had been reviewed, and that no additional intersections

Commissioner Turner made a motion to approve Use Permit
No. 1547 (Amended) subject, to the findings and
conditions in Exhibit "A ", including the additions of
Conditions No. 59, 60, and 61.
In response to a question posed by Mr. Neish, Chairman
Winburn explained that Condition No. 60 states that the
use permit shall expire two years from this date,
April, 1987.
Commissioner Person inquired if the Planning Commission
has the ability to shorten the 24 month expiration
date. Mr. Burnham stated that the Planning Commission
has the option to shorten or lengthen the 24 month
period. Commissioner Person expressed an interest in
shortening the expiration date from the stated 24
months in order that the project would be completed
before the approved conditions could be changed.
Chairman Winburn stated that she will support the
motion on the basis that the traffic phasing study, as
presented, is acceptable.
