General Plan Amendment 85 -2 (Discussion)
Consideration of initiation of an amendment to the Land
Use Element of the Newport Beach General Plan for the
A. T. & T. facility site on Camelback Street in the
North Ford Planned Community. - -
Initiated by: The City of Newport Beach
Planning Director James Hewicker cited that the subject
General Plan Amendment is unusual because the request
is from John Dunzer, a Newport Beach citizen who has
asked that a General Plan be amended for a specific
property wherein the citizen has no specific
involvement in the subject property at the present
• time. He stated that the City Council has already
initiated General Plan Amendment No. 84 -2 for the U. S.
Post Office site adjacent to the subject property. Mr.
Hewicker stated that the subject property is owned by
The Irvine Company and leased by American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, wherein the uses that are on the
property have been permitted under the General Plan and
Zoning Code and there are no development rights left
for further development under the current General Plan.
Mr. Hewicker advised that Mr. Dunzer is seeking
additional square footage of development and a change
in the land use designation on the site.
Mr. Hewicker advised that across the street from the
subject property is the North Ford Development Area No.
3, which is a five acre commercial site that the City
would permit up to 50,000 square feet of commercial
uses, similar to the same type of uses that Mr. Dunzer
is proposing to develop on the American Telephone and
Telegraph site. Mr. Hewicker cited that under the
proposed General Plan Amendment on the U. S. Post
Office property, up to 60,000 square feet of floor area
could be devloped.

Mr. John Dunzer, 1958 Port Locksleigh, appeared before
the Planning Commission, stating that he has no
intention to request a zoning or land use change on the
vacant property. Mr. Dunzer commented that the subject
property is currently zoned as commercial /industrial
whereas the aforementioned North Ford property is
currently zoned for a neighborhood commercial center.
Mr. Dunzer stated that The Irvine Company recently put
a use clause in their lease that the subject property
can only be used for the purpose of a vehicle center
for trucks, which he opined is a heavy traffic use.
Mr. Dunzer further stated that The Irvine Company has
leased the property to American Telephone and Telegraph
for ten years, and that the property could be developed
in a more resourceful manner than is currently being
utilized.
Commissioner Turner asked Mr. Dunzer if The Irvine
Company has accepted'his offer subject to the change in
• the General Plan, and if the Planning Commission should
approve the General Plan, how would this proposal
affect the use clause between The Irvine Company and
American Telephone and Telegraph? Mr. Dunzer replied
that he has made an offer to The Irvine Company that
they did not accept.

Mr. Hewicker cited that because City Council Policy Q -1
does allow a citizen to request a General Plan
Amendment, there may be a need on the part of the City
Council to clarify the intent of the City Council
policy and the existing language which is currently in
City Council Policy Q -1 in that there are many types of
General Plan Amendments that can be initiated. He
•
stated that some types can be requested by a citizen or
a group of citizens, and other types can be initiated
by property owners, the City Council, the Planning
Commission or staff.

COMMISSIONERSI rune 20, 1985
Mr. Hewicker advised that staff has not recommended to
do nothing in regards to the subject property. He
stated that there is a General Plan Amendment under
consideration on the vacant property adjacent to the U.
S. Post Office, in which case 60,000 square feet of
floor area would be permitted to be developed on that
parcel if development rights were granted, based upon
.5 times the buildable area of the site. He said that
the initial cost for a study is $6,000. although the U.
S. Post Office has not yet initiated said study. Mr.
Hewicker stated that the proposed study would include
the vacant site adjacent to the Post Office and the
remaining under - developed and undeveloped parcels in
the North Ford area to determine what types of impact
the granting of development rights on the U. S. Post
Office property might have on the other sites.
Mr. Hewicker commented that there may not be a need for
a General Plan Amendment if the Post Office decides to
proceed with additional postal services on the subject
property. He said that the site is currently designated
for "Governmental, Educational and Institutional
Facilities" uses.
Commissioner Turner stated that because it is not
feasible for the applicant to purchase the property
from The Irvine Company, and that there is presently a
use clause in the ten year lease on the property,
Motion x Commissioner Turner made a motion to recommend to the
All Ayes City Council that the request for General Plan
Amendment No. 85 -2 is unwarranted and that the request
be returned to the originator without further action,
and that Findings for GPA 85 -2 submitted by staff be
included. Commissioner Turner also recommended that the
City Council clarify its intent under Council Policy
Q -1 and the right of citizens to make requests for
General Plan Amendments on specific properties in which
they have no right, title, or interest. Motion voted
on, MOTION CARRIED.
FINDINGS FOR GPA 85 -2
1. That the City's General Plan and existing zoning
will currently allow an additional 50,000 sq.ft.
of commercial development across the street from
the subject site. Said development site is in the
• process of being graded.

in use.
