AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

DISTRICTING MAP NO. 14 SO AS TO RECLASSIFY THE
PROPOSED FIRE STATION PROPERTY LOCATED AT
124 MARINE AVENUE FROM THE C -1 (LIGHT
• COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT TO THE GEIF
(GOVERNMENTAL, EDUCATIONAL AND
INSTITUTIONAL FACILITIES) DISTRICT.
(PLANNING COMMISSION AMENDMENT NO.750)
WHEREAS, Section 20.84.010 of the Municipal Code of the City of Newport
Beach provides that Title 20 (the Zoning Code) may be amended by changing the zoning
designation of Districts and other provisions whenever the public necessity and convenience
and the public welfare require such amendment; and
WHEREAS, Section 20.84.020 of the Municipal Code of the City of Newport
Beach provides that an amendment to Title 20 may be initiated by resolution of intention
of the Planning Commission; and
•WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has recommended to the City Council
the adoption of General Plan Amendment No. 89 -2(H) and Local Coastal Program
Amendment No. 19 so as to change the land use designation of the subject property from
'Retail and Service Commercial" to "Governmental, Educational and Institutional Facilities';
and
WHEREAS, land use decisions are legally required to be consistent with the
City's General Plan and Zoning; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to make the zoning districts of property in the
City of Newport Beach consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, in conjunction with the consideration of the above referenced
amendments to the General Plan and Local Coastal Program the City has prepared an
• Initial Study pursuant to the requirements of CEQA for this action; and
WHEREAS, based upon the information contained in the Initial Study,
comments received, and all related documents, there is no substantial evidence that the
project, as conditioned or as modified by mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study,
1
could have a significant effect on the environment, therefore a Negative Declaration has
been prepared. The Negative Declaration adequately addresses the potential environmental
impacts of the project, and satisfies all the requirements of CEQA, and is therefore
approved. The facts and findings relied upon in making this determination are contained
in the public record, and include the following:
•
1. Evidence presented by staff and area residents demonstrates that the
neighborhood surrounding the proposed fire station site at 124 Marine
Avenue is currently subject to relatively high ambient noise levels due
to heavy traffic, including frequent truck deliveries to nearby
commercial establishments and visitors.
2. A land use survey revealed that many residential properties are located
in the Marine Avenue commercial district near the existing fire station
at 323 Marine Avenue, and therefore any increase in noise and
• congestion that would result from the relocation of the fire station to
124 Marine Avenue would be at least partially offset by reduced
impacts in the vicinity of the existing fire station.
3. The mitigation measures and conditions of approval that have been
applied to the project will substantially reduce impacts in the areas of
noise, traffic and circulation, aesthetics, light and glare, and human
health.
4. In the context of the existing surroundings, and in consideration of the
mitigation measures and conditions of approval applied to the project,
• the City Council has determined that there is no substantial evidence
that the potential increase in noise and traffic that would result from
the relocation of the fire station to 124 Marine Avenue could have a
significant adverse effect on the environment; and
2
WHEREAS, the Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgement of
the City Council and was reviewed and considered prior to approval of the project; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 20.84.30, the Planning Commission has
recommended that the City Council approve Amendment No. 750 to Title 20 of the
Newport Beach Municipal Code amending Districting Map No. 14; and
• WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 20.84.050, the City Council has held a duly
noticed public hearing to consider Amendment No. 750 to Title 20 of the Newport Beach
Municipal Code amending a portion of Districting Map 14.
