before the Planning Commission in connection with
this request and deferred details of the project
to his architect.

commented on the surrounding property and land use;
density of the project; estimated sale price of

were being requested; that if the project had been
for apartments, it would have been unnecessary to
appear before the Planning Commission; the present
zoning is R -3 which would allow 36 units under the
existing ordinance; if the property were zoned R -2,
at least 26 units could be constructed whereas their
request is for 18 units; and the property owner
intends to live in one of the units. He presented
a model of the project for review by the Commission
•
and discussed the details of the project, including
height,.setbacks, private elevators, "step- down"
construction, landscaping, parking, additional
open space being created by separation of building
and providing a view vista through the project,
type of construction, and visual impact of the
project. He answered questions of the Commission
relative to dwelling units per acre, grading of
the land, and soil stability.

stability of the property, the Environmental Impac
Report as it pertained to traffic on Bayside Drive,
air standards for Newport Beach, incremental increase
in traffic, and reduction in density.

of the Subdivision Map Act outlining the powers of
the Planning Commission as they pertain to tract
