Item #1
Commission's review and hearing of Interim Parks
and Recreation Plan for adoption as an Element of
INTERIM
P R K
the Newport, Beach General Plan.
TIN -
Director of Community Development Hogan pointed out
PUT-
that this item had been continued from the meeting
of March 16, 1972 for the .purpose of making certain
RECOM-
amendments to the plan; that the amendments had
MENDED
been made and a new copy of the Plan with the
amendments distributed to the Commission.
FUT_
PWROVAL
Senior Planner Gunn reviewed with the Commission
the three,primary areas of concern at the previous
meeting; the first one being the "Fun Zone" which
had been referred to the Parks, Beaches.and Recrea-
tion Commission who expressed no interest and
addressed a letter to this effect to the City
Council, who ordered the letter filed. The second
item was Balboa Island, which the staff restudied
and five locations for general play lots were
indicated on the map. The third item was in the
Corona del Mar area and the proposal for that
particular area was expanded to include the land
between Marguerite Avenue and the existing
Community Youth Center.
Mr. Gunn noted further that concern had been ex-
pressed by the public in the 38th Street area about
the timing of that particular proposal and there
seemed to be some confusion as to the relationship
between the bond issue and the Interim Park Plan.
Based on studies of projected population.in the
area, the proposal within the Interim Park Plan
was to expand the 38th Street park between what is
now existing and the channel. Mr. Gunn pointed out
that the Interim Park Plan was a 20 year plan; it
did not necessarily mean that implementation would
take place within the next year; to the contrary,
some of the proposals could take 20 or 30 years
and might never be implemented; therefore the
staff recommendation.for the 38th Street park.re-
mained the same.
Director Hogan noted.that even.though the Parks,
Beaches and Recreation Commission had turned down
the inclusion of the "Fun Zone" property, the City
Council had requested that this area be considered,
as park property and the Planning Commission could
either agree with the Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Commission or recommend that it be included.

Mr. James M. Dodds, an attorney, addressed the
Commission and stated that he had been contacted
by several of the residents in the 38th Street
park area. He noted that there were approximately
23 homes in.the proposed acquisition site and the
concern of these homeowners.was the length of time
they could stay. If it were a matter of 20 years
they would not be concerned; if it were a matter
of one.,year they were quite concerned. He stated
further that the homeowners would appreciate it. if
the Planning Commission would go on record that
this was a 20 year acquisition program; that no
condemnation would be taken on the 38th Street
park site but that the property would be acquired .
as it became available. Mr. Dodds commented
further that the acquisition cost figure.was un-
realistic.
The Commission discussed the entire Plan, and
particularly in regard to the 38th Street park,
and it was suggested that a footnote be added that
some.of the Commissioners had strong reservations
regarding the expenditure necessary for a park at
that location.
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director Stewart
addressed.the Commission and stated that the Parks
Beaches and Recreation Commission had reviewed
this area on a long range program and felt the
park expansion was necessary because it was in a
residential area where, by population projections,
there was quite a deficiency.

Chairman Dosh reviewed the application with the
Commission and.noted that it had been continued
from the meeting of April 6, 1972 so the staff:
could research whether this was a legal lot split
and that it had been determined that it was. He
noted further that the staff had recommended denial
because of.the garage encroachments necessary to
provide the required parking.
Assistant Director Hewicker addressed the Commis-
sion and stated that the applicant had worked out
a solution to the,garage. problem with the Building
Official whereby he would be-able to provide legal
sized garages which would not encroach into the
required '3 foot setbacks and that a revised plot
plan showing this type of configuration had been
submitted. Mr. Hewicker explained the details of
the type.of garage structure that could be -built
to comply with the parking requirements. He
pointed out that this would still not eliminate
the problem of constructing two buildings on lots
of less width than had been anticipated when the
property was originally subdivided.
Mr. Don Heubner, General Contractor, represented,
the applicant.and stated that they had been able
to revise their plans in such a way to provide
the clearance desired by the Planning and Building
Divisions to meet all requirements of the Code,
without encroachments. He stated further that he
believed it would be a better development with two
equal sized lots.
A discussion ensued during which it was pointed out,

that while the present Code required a minimum lot
area of 5,000 sq,ft:, some of the older areas in
the City.existed at the time of the adoption of
the ordinance, however that the ordinance did
provide minimum standards for the development of
these smaller lots. It was felt that increasing
the density by permitting substandard lots was.not
in the interest.of good planning and that since
this was a continuing problem, that.a policy

Chairman Dosh reviewed the application with the
Commission and pointed out that because of the
size of the lots and the lack of adequate off -
street parking for commercial uses in the area,
residential zoning was more appropriate than comme

Chairman -Dosh noted that Amendment No. 316 had beer.
continued from the meeting of March 2, 1972 so tha
it could be considered concurrently with Amendment
No. 318; also that representatives of the Cannery
Village Merchants. Association had indicated they
would present certain studies and data for con-
sideration. Assistant Director Hewicker stated
that no further information had been received sine
that time, however Mr. Kausen, President of the
Cannery Village Merchants Association had indicate
he would be unable to attend this evening's meetin
and would submit a letter requesting a continuance
but a letter had not been received.
The Commission discussed this amendment at length
and Commissioner Glass expressed concern about the
requirement "but in no event shall there be less
than 10 parking spaces for each establishment ".
He stated that in view of the small lots in this
area this would not be feasible and there should
be some modification of this requirement.
•
Mr.. James M. Dodds, Senior Warden of St. James
Episcopal Church at 3209 Via Lido inquired as to
what effect this ordinance would have on the
church. Assistant Director Hewicker stated that
this would have no bearing on the church as it
is located in a commercial district and the subjec
under discussion is the industrial area.
Following further discussion, Amendment No. 316

was recommended to the City Council for approval

with the deletion of reference to a minimum of
All Ayes
10 parking spaces required for wholesale or indus-
trial establishments.
Director Hogan pointed out that the reason for
Amendment.No. 318 was to give the Commission an
opportunity to deal with the parking problem on an
individual basis as applications came in for
commercial uses.
The Commission discussed this proposed amendment
at length and it was felt that since the parking
problem had been solved by the previous action,
this.additional requirement of a.use permit for
commercial uses would slow down the revitalization
•
of the area.
Following discussion, Commissioner Martin made a
motion that this amendment be dropped from con-
sideration and not forwarded to the City Council,

Chairman Dosh reviewed the application with the
Commission and pointed out that the staff had
suggested an alternate parking plan from that
submitted by the applicant which would provide
a different.driveway situation between the park-
ing areas.in order to avoid the possible backing,
out of automobiles onto the street.
City Engineer Nolan stated he believed that pro-
viding circulation on the site between the two
parking areas.was of sufficient importance that
it should be added to the conditions of approval.
•
He noted that the addition of this requirement
would result in a loss of parking spaces which
would affect the permitted occupancy load.
Zoning Administrator Laycock pointed out the
suggested parking pattern on a map.
Mr. Erhan Gedik was present at the meeting,and
stated that he was in agreement with the staff's
recommendations as.well as the alternate parking
plan. He answered questions of the Commission

loud "rock" music.
Mrs. Joseph Gallant, President of Cliff Haven

through 217 21st Street.
Initiated by: City of Newport Beach
Chairman Dosh noted that this zone change had been
initiated in -order to reflect existing and pro-
posed residential developments on 20th and 21st
Streets northeasterly of West Balboa Boulevard.
It was pointed out that this area was considered
for rezoning three years ago and that some of the
people who did not desire a zone change at that
time were now using the property as residential;
that the 25' x 90' lots did not lend themselves
to commercial development as adequate parking coul
not be provided and that the owners were now request-
ing use permits for residential development.
Mr: Robert Seiling addressed the Commission in
favor of the zone change and asked questions re-
garding the rear yard setbacks. He was advised
that rear yard setbacks are not established on the
Districting Maps and that a 10 foot rear yard
setback would apply.
Mr. Michael Mead, attorney, appeared in behalf of
the owners of approximately 7 of the lots, specifi
-
ally Lots 18, 195 20 and the northerly 12.5 feet
of Lot 21, Block 219 on 20th Street, Lot 6 at
213 - 20th Street, Lot 21, Block 219 on 20th Stree
as well as 206 and 208 - 21st Street. He stated
that he did not believe that:the area was pre -
dominantly residential and that Mr. Bob Roubian,
who owns the Crab Cooker Restaurant had purchased
Lots 18, 19, 20 and the northerly 12.5 feet of.
Lot 21 which he intended to use for parking if it
became necessary to rebuild his establishment.
It was pointed out to Mr: Mead that parking on
these lots would be possible through the use permit

Procedure and he replied that if Mr. Roubian could
be assured that this was possible, he would have
no objection.
Following further discussion Mr. Mead was asked if
he would be satisfied if a statement of legislative
history were put in the record that the Commission
considered parking an appropriate use for the
property in question and Mr. Mead replied that he
would appreciate that and it would be sufficient.
Mr. Steigerwal.d, who owns Harbor Glass Company at
222 and 224 21st Street addressed the Commission
