INTRODUCTION
Project Setting
The subject property is located in Corona del Mar on East Coast Highway between
Goldenrod Avenue and Heliotrope Avenue. Corona del Mar is primarily developed with
single- and two -unit residential uses with commercial uses along East Coast Highway.
The subject lot has 70 linear feet of street frontage, an alley to the rear, and is
approximately 5,568 square feet in area. There is an approximately 6 -foot elevation
difference from the southeastern corner of the property at the alley to the lower grade
along the front property line at East Coast Highway. The site is currently developed
with a 1,400- square -foot photo shop (retail sales and service use) with a surface
parking lot containing eight parking spaces.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to construct a single -story, 2,637- square -foot commercial
building with a surface parking lot containing nine spaces. The anticipated use is retail
sales. The project is designed at a pedestrian scale with the building line along East
Coast Highway and the parking accessed from the rear alley. The building would
consist of two suites separated with a corridor providing access from parking lot to the
front entrances of the suites and to the street. The front of the building would be
constructed of glass, and would be setback from the property line to incorporate
planters and landscaping along East Coast Highway. The site currently has a drive
aisle on East Coast Highway. The proposal includes closing the curb cut and providing
one additional on- street space.
Analysis
General Plan and Zoning Code
The subject property is designated as Corridor Commercial (CC) within the Land Use
Element of the General Plan and is located within the Commercial Corridor (CC) Zoning
District. These designations are intended to provide a range of neighborhood- serving
retail and service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster
pedestrian activity. Retail sales is the anticipated use and is consistent with these
designations. Other uses may be permitted in accordance with the CC Zoning District.
Furthermore, the project is designed to foster pedestrian activity by closing off the curb
cut on East Coast Highway and using an open design with a wide corridor between the
two suites. General Plan Policy LU 6.16.3 encourages closing curb cuts that interrupt
the continuity of street - facing building elevations in pedestrian- oriented districts and
Schulein Parking (PA2013 -090)
August 8, 2013
Page 4
locations of high traffic volumes. The proposed alley access to parking is consistent
with this policy.
Conditional Use Permit for a Reduction of Off - Street Parking
Pursuant to Zoning Code Chapter 20.40 (Off- Street Parking), retail sales uses require
one parking space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. Other uses of the site
would be allowed if the parking requirement does not exceed this rate. The applicant
proposes to construct a 2,637- square -foot building, which would require eleven parking
spaces. A detailed project description submitted by the applicant is provided as
Attachment No. PC 3. The applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow a
reduction in the required number of off - street parking spaces pursuant to Section
20.40.110 (Adjustments to Off - Street Parking Requirements). Pursuant to this section,
the required off - street parking may be reduced with approval of a Conditional Use
Permit if the applicant has provided sufficient data to indicate that other parking is
available.
The proposed project would create at least one additional on- street parking space by
closing the existing curb cut. Moreover, according to the 2008 Walker Parking Study,
the on- street parking near the subject property is underutilized. The study found that
during the peak times, parking occupancy on East Coast Highway between Goldenrod
Avenue and Heliotrope Avenue was less than 50 percent. The subject property is
located within Block 5 of the Walker Parking Study and an excerpt showing the parking
occupancy maps are provided as Attachment No. PC 4. The complete Walker Parking
Study, which was prepared under contract with the City, is available online at:
http: / /www.newportbeachca.gov/ Modules /ShowDocument.aspx ?documentid =970
Additionally, the applicant seeks to promote pedestrian activity by closing the East
Coast Highway curb cut. The single -story building is designed to be at a pedestrian
scale and has glass walls, a breezeway, and landscaping. Furthermore, it is anticipated
that some patrons would walk or bicycle to the businesses.
Pursuant to Section 20.38.040, existing nonresidential structures within Corona del Mar
that are nonconforming because they exceed the allowed floor area may be demolished
and reconstructed to their preexisting height and floor area; provided that not less than
the preexisting number of parking spaces is provided. The subject property is not
nonconforming due to floor area; therefore, this provision is not applicable. If it was
applicable, then a new building could potentially be developed without any discretionary
review so long as the same number of parking spaces was provided. For example, a
building constructed with a 1.0 Floor Area Ratio and no parking could be rebuilt to the
same size with no parking without approval of a Conditional Use Permit. This policy
was intended to facilitate redevelopment of older structures to help achieve the goal of a
pedestrian oriented village.

Parking Management Plan
Pursuant to Section 20.40.110, a parking management plan is required in order to
mitigate impacts associated with a reduction in the number of required parking spaces.
The draft parking management plan (Attachment No. PC 5) addresses closing the curb
cut, additional on- street parking, tandem parking, employee parking, and maximizing
parking on the site. In order to be usable and efficient, the tandem parking stalls would
be used for employees working within the same suite. The proposed design includes
two single -story suites along East Coast Highway with parking along the rear property
line. With this pedestrian oriented design, a maximum of seven spaces can be provided
across the width of the lot (plus two additional tandem spaces). The intent of the
parking management plan is to ensure that the on -site parking is sufficient for the uses
on -site, that parking is maximized on -site, and parking is used efficiently.
Use Permit Findings
Pursuant to Section 20.52.020 (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use Permits) of the
Zoning Code, the Planning Commission must make the following findings in order to
approve a Conditional Use Permit:
1. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan;
2. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all
other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code;
3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are
compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity;
4. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating
characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and
medical) access and public services and utilities; and
5. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the
harmonious and orderly growth of the City, nor endanger, jeopardize, or
otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety,
or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the
proposed use.
Staff believes sufficient facts exist to support the Conditional Use Permit request for the
reduction in required off - street parking, as demonstrated in the draft Resolution
(Attachment No. PC 1). The anticipated retail sales use is consistent the Zoning Code,
General Plan, and other relevant policies, and other uses would be permitted in
accordance with these policies. The project is designed to foster pedestrian activity by
closing the curb cut on East Coast Highway and using an open design with a wide
corridor between the two suites. Furthermore, the proposed design and use are
Schulein Parking (PA2013 -090)
August 8, 2013
Page 6
compatible with existing development and allowed uses in the vicinity, including retail
sales, service, institutional, and restaurant uses. The proposed retail building is single -
story with a Floor Area Ratio of 0.47 where 0.75 is allowed.
Variance for an Alley Parking Setback Encroachment
Pursuant to Section 20.40.070 (Development Standards for Parking Areas), adequate
and safe maneuvering aisles are required to be provided within each parking area so
that vehicles enter an abutting street or alley in a forward direction. Exceptions are
allowed for parking spaces immediately adjoining a public alley, provided no more than
10 feet of the alley is used to accommodate the required drive aisle width and provided
the spaces are set back from the alley a minimum of 5 feet. The required drive aisle
width for the proposed parking configuration is 18 feet, based on the angle of the
parking.
A five foot setback from the alley is required for the parking spaces. Additionally, the
code specifies that only 10 feet of the alley can be used for the required drive aisle
width (entering and exiting the parking area). The applicant requests a variance to
provide a 4 -foot setback and to use the entire 14 -foot wide alley to meet the required
drive aisle width. The required and proposed standards are summarized in Table 1.
Several nonresidential properties in the vicinity do not provide the required alley
setbacks or drive aisle widths.
Table 1 — Summary of Standards
Variance Findings
Pursuant to Section 20.52.090 (Variances) of the Zoning Code, the Planning
Commission must make the following findings in order to approve a variance:
1. There are special or unique circumstances or conditions applicable to the subject
property (e.g., location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other physical
features) that do not apply generally to other properties in the vicinity under an
identical zoning classification;
2. Strict compliance with Zoning Code requirements would deprive the subject
property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under an
identical zoning classification;

Variance Findings
Pursuant to Section 20.52.090 (Variances) of the Zoning Code, the Planning
Commission must make the following findings in order to approve a variance:
1. There are special or unique circumstances or conditions applicable to the subject
property (e.g., location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other physical
features) that do not apply generally to other properties in the vicinity under an
identical zoning classification;
2. Strict compliance with Zoning Code requirements would deprive the subject
property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under an
identical zoning classification;

3. Granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
substantial property rights of the applicant,
4. Granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity and in the same
zoning district,
5. Granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly
growth of the City, nor endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to
the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the neighborhood, and
6. Granting of the variance will not be in conflict with the intent and purpose of this
section, this Zoning Code, the General Plan, or any applicable specific plan.
Staff believes sufficient facts exist to support the variance request for the alley setback
encroachment for parking and the drive aisle width, as demonstrated in the draft
Resolution (Attachment No. PC 1). The shape and topography of the site make it
difficult to develop the parking along the rear of the property. The rear property line is
skewed and the irregular shape of the lot hinders the development of a typical surface
parking lot. The application of the 5 -foot alley setback and the drive aisle width limit the
area that can be dedicated to parking and would reduce the amount of floor area that
could be developed. The proposed 4 -foot setback affords the property owner a more
usable lot area to maximize the number of parking spaces, yet still provides a functional
parking area. The on -site circulation has been reviewed and approved by the City Traffic
Engineer.
Alternatives
The Planning Commission has the option to approve a revised project based on the
required findings for approval. The Planning Commission also has the option to deny
the request for a Conditional Use Permit or Variance if any of the required findings
cannot be made (a draft Resolution for denial is provided as Attachment No. PC 2).
Denial of the Use Permit and Variance would allow construction of a smaller commercial
building that would only require nine (9) parking spaces and would meet all other
development standards. With nine (9) parking spaces a 2,250- square -foot building
could be constructed (9 spaces times 250 square feet), which is 387 square feet less
than the proposed 2,637- square -foot building.
Environmental Review
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find the project is categorically exempt
under Section 15332, of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines -
Class 32 (In -Fill Development). Class 32 exempts in -fill development meeting the
following conditions: the project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code; the
Schulein Parking (PA2013 -090)
August 8, 2013
Page 8
proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than 5 acres
substantially surrounded by urban uses; the project site has no value as habitat for
endangered, rare, or threatened species; approval of the project would not result in any
significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and the site must be
able to be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The property is developed, within the City Boundary, less than 5 acres in area, is
surrounded by urban uses, and has no value as habitat. The proposed project is
consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code, and would be adequately served by all
required utilities and public services. The project would not result in significant effects
relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality because the proposed project would be
developed at a lower intensity than allowed by the General Plan and Zoning Code, and the
construction and operation of the project would meet all local, state, and federal
requirements. As demonstrated within this report and the attached resolution, the
proposed project meets all of the required conditions to qualify for the Class 32 exemption.
Public Notice
Notice of this review was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all owners of property
within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights -of -way and
waterways) including the applicant and posted on the subject property at least 10 days
prior to the decision date, consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code.
Additionally, the item appeared on the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at
City Hall and on the City website.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
An application was filed by Laidlaw Schultz Architects, with respect to property located at
2828 East Coast Highway, and legally described as Lot 4 and the southeasterly 30 feet
of Lot 3, Block N, Tract 323, requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit and
Variance.
2. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing building and construct a two -unit
commercial building with a surface parking lot with nine parking spaces. The applicant
requests a Conditional Use Permit to establish a Parking Management Plan to reduce
the required off - street parking by two parking spaces. The applicant requests a
Variance to allow the parking spaces to encroach 1 -foot into the required 5 -foot alley
setback and for more than 10 -feet of the alley right -of -way to be used to accommodate
the required drive aisle width. The site currently has a drive aisle on East Coast
Highway. The proposal includes closing up the curb cut, providing one additional on-
street space, and providing access to the parking lot from the alley at the rear of the
property.
3. The subject property is located within the Commercial Corridor (CC) Zoning District and
the General Plan Land Use Element category is Corridor Commercial (CC).
4. The subject property is not located within the coastal zone.
5. A public hearing was held on August 8, 2013, in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic
Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was
given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written
and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this
meeting.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 32 (In -Fill Development).
Planning Commission Resolution No.
2of11
2. Class 32 exempts in -fill development meeting the following conditions: the project is
consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code; the proposed development occurs
within city limits on a project site of no more than 5 acres substantially surrounded by
urban uses; the project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened
species; approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to
traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and the site must be able to be adequately
served by all required utilities and public services. The property is developed, within the
City Boundary, less than 5 acres in area, is surrounded by urban uses, and has no value
as habitat.
3. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code, and would
be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The project would not
result in significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality because the
proposed project would be developed at a lower intensity than allowed by the General
Plan and Zoning Code, and the construction and operation of the project would meet all
local, state, and federal requirements. The proposed project meets all of the required
conditions to qualify for the Class 32 exemption.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with Section 20.52.020 and Sectio .090 of the Newport Beach Municipal
Code, the following findings and facts in sort of findings are set forth:
Use Permit Findings
Finding:
A. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The anticipated retail sales use is consistent with the CC (Corridor Commercial) land use
designation of the General Plan, which is intended to provide a range of neighborhood -
serving retail and service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to
foster pedestrian activity. Other uses may be permitted in accordance with the CC land
use designation. The proposed commercial suites are designed and oriented to serve
residents and visitors in the area. The front of the buildings would be designed with
planters and glass along East Coast Highway, with a corridor between the buildings from
the street to the parking lot. The curb cut would be closed on East Coast Highway, which
is intended to foster pedestrian activity along the street. The intent is to also serve
customers who walk or bicycle to the establishment.
2. General Plan Policy LU 6.16.3 encourages closing curb cuts that interrupt the continuity of
street - facing building elevations in pedestrian- oriented districts and locations of high traffic
volumes. The proposed curb cut closure and alley access to parking are consistent with
this policy.
04 -24 -2013
Planning Commission Resolution No.
Findinq:
3of11
B. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other
applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The anticipated retail sales use is located in the Corridor Commercial (CC) Zoning District,
which is intended to provide for areas appropriate for a range of neighborhood - serving
retail and service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster
pedestrian activity. The anticipated retail sales use is permitted by right within this Zoning
District. Other uses would be required to conform to the requirements of the CC Zoning
District.
2. The Conditional Use Permit approval is consistent with Chapter 20.40 (Off- Street Parking)
of the Zoning Code regarding the waiver of two (2) of the eleven (11) required parking
spaces in conjunction with the Parking Management Plan because the proposed project
includes creating additional on- street parking and other parking is available in the area.
According to the 2008 Walker Parking Study, the on- street parking near the subject
property is underutilized. The study found that during the peak times, parking occupancy
on East Coast Highway between Goldenrod Avenue and Heliotrope Avenue was less than
50 percent.
Finding:
C. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the
allowed uses in the vicinity.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed project is located within a nonresidential zoning district, but residential uses
are located nearby on Goldenrod Avenue and Heliotrope Avenue. The project is similar to
and compatible with other neighborhood - serving retail and service uses located on East
Coast Highway, including retail sales, service, institutional, and restaurant uses. The size
of the building and subject suites are comparable to other buildings in the Corona del Mar
area. The proposed retail building is single -story with a Floor Area Ratio of 0.48 where
0.75 is allowed.
2. The operational characteristics are proposed to be that of a typical retail sales use that
would serve residents, visitors, and employees in the area. The operating characteristics
would be compatible with the allowed commercial, institutional, and residential uses in the
vicinity.
3. The subject site would be developed with nine (9) parking spaces. The proposed project
would create an additional on- street parking space by closing up the curb cut on East
04 -24 -2013
Planning Commission Resolution No.
4of11
Coast Highway, which would also increase pedestrian safety in front of the subject
property. Businesses in Corona del Mar often serve pedestrians and bicyclists.
Finding:
D. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating
characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical)
access and public services and utilities.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The lot is approximately 5,568 square feet in area, and is proposed to be developed with
a two - tenant building and surface parking lot containing nine (9) parking spaces.
2. The proposed project includes a Conditional Use Permit to reduce the requirement by two
(2) off - street parking spaces and would not negatively affect emergency access. The lot
has street and alley access, the buildings are designed with a corridor between them, and
each suite is designed with multiple doors and windows for ingress and egress.
3. The Public Works Department, Building Division, and Fire Department have reviewed the
application. The project is required to obtain all applicable permits from the City Building
and Fire Departments and must comply with the most recent, City- adopted version of the
California Building Code.
Finding:
E. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the harmonious
and orderly growth of the City, nor endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard
to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing
or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The anticipated retail sales use is similar to and compatible with other neighborhood -
serving retail and service uses in the vicinity. The current use is a retail and service use
that has not proven detrimental thus far. Uses other than retail sales will comply with the
Commercial Corridor Zoning District.
2. The proposed reduction of the required off - street parking would not be detrimental
because the site would be developed with nine (9) parking spaces, would create an
additional on- street parking space, other parking is available in the vicinity, and is in an
area with pedestrian and bicycle activity.
04 -24 -2013
Planning Commission Resolution No.
Variance Findings
Finding:
5of11
F. There are special or unique circumstances or conditions applicable to the subject property
(e.g., location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other physical features) that do
not apply generally to other properties in the vicinity under an identical zoning
classification.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. Closing the curb cut is consistent with General Plan Policy LU 6.16.3; however, it makes it
more difficult to maximize the amount of parking available on -site. The lot depth and lot
size of the subject property are smaller than several of the lots in Corona del Mar along
East Coast Highway. The shape and topography of the site make it difficult to develop the
parking along the rear of the property. The rear property line is skewed and the irregular
shape of the lot hinders the development of a typical surface parking lot.
2. Pursuant to Section 20.38.040, existing nonresidential structures within Corona del Mar
that are nonconforming because they exceed the allowed floor area may be demolished
and reconstructed to their preexisting height and floor area; provided that not less than the
preexisting number of parking spaces is provided. The subject property is not
nonconforming due to floor area; therefore, this provision is not applicable.
Finding:
G. Strict compliance with Zoning Code requirements would deprive the subject property of
privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zoning
classification.
Facts in Support of Findin
1. Strict application of the alley .-parking setback and drive aisle width would require that the
building size be reduced to accommodate the additional parking setback. Several
properties in the vicinity do not provide the code - required off - street parking or drive aisle
width. The proposed retail building is single -story with a Floor Area Ratio of 0.48 where
0.75 is allowed.
Finding:
H. Granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial
property rights of the applicant.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The application of the 5 -foot alley setback and the drive aisle width limit the area that can
be dedicated to parking and would reduce the amount of floor area that could be
04 -24 -2013
Planning Commission Resolution No.
6of11
developed. The proposed encroachment into the rear setback is reasonable in this case
due to the short depth of the lot at the northern side of the property and the angle of the
parking from the alley. The proposed 4 -foot setback affords the property owner a more
usable lot area to construct a building at a pedestrian scale and maximize the number of
parking spaces.
Finding:
1. Granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations on other properties in the vicinity and in the same zoning district.
Facts in Su000rt of Finding:
1. The proposed 4 -foot alley setback and drive aisle width would not result in a special privilege
because it is consistent with the neighborhood pattern of development. The proposed
encroachment is compatible with similar development in the area. The adjacent property to
the east on the opposite side of the alley provides a 5 -foot setback to the building, but is
developed with landscaping, bollards, and other obstructions adjacent to the alley.
2. The proposed retail building is single -story with a Floor Area Ratio of 0.48 where 0.75 is
allowed.
3. Pursuant to Section 20.38.040, existing nonresidential structures within Corona del Mar
that are nonconforming because they exceed the allowed floor area may be demolished
and reconstructed to their preexisting height and floor area; provided that not less than the
preexisting number of parking spaces is provided. The subject property is not
nonconforming due to floor area; therefore, this provision is not applicable.
Finding:
J. Granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of
the City, nor endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public
convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in
the neighborhood.
Facts in Support of Findin
1. The proposed parking area would provide adequate setbacks for safe maneuvering for
vehicles, as reviewed by the City Traffic Engineer.
2. The proposed project would not be built to the maximum intensity allowed within the Zoning
Code, and would maximize the amount of parking that could be developed across the rear of
the site.
3. The proposed project would provide the required drive aisle width, including the 4 -foot
setback and 14 -foot wide alley right -of -way.
04 -24 -2013
Planning Commission Resolution No.
Findinq:
7of11
K. Granting of the variance will not be in conflict with the intent and purpose of this section,
this Zoning Code, the General Plan, or any applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The granting of the 1 -foot encroachment into the alley setback and using the entire alley
right -of -way to accommodate the required width would not conflict with intent and purpose
of the Zoning Code or General Plan. The alley setback is required to provide adequate
and safe maneuvering drive aisles. In this case, the vehicles would not enter the abutting
alley in a forward direction; however, the required drive aisle width would be provided.
2. The intent of the alley parking setback is to provide adequate maneuvering for vehicles
entering and leaving the site. The proposed design m 'ntains a 4 -foot setback and the
required drive aisle width. The request to deviate fro a alley setback and drive aisle
width is reasonable and justified due to the depth, t hy, and angle of the lot.
3. The subject property is not located within a sp c plan dis fit•
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves Conditional
Use Permit No. UP2013 -007 and Variance No. VA2013 -007, subject to the conditions set

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH DENYING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT NO. UP2013 -007 FOR A REDUCTION IN REQUIRED
OFF - STREET PARKING AND VARIANCE NO. VA2013 -007 FOR
AN ENCROACHMENT INTO THE ALLEY SETBACK AND DRIVE
AISLE WIDTH LOCATED AT 2828 EAST COAST HIGHWAY
(PA2013 -090)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
An application was filed by Laidlaw Schultz Architects, with respect to property located at
2828 East Coast Highway, and legally described as Lot 4 and the southeasterly 30 feet
of Lot 3, Block N, Tract 323, requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit and
Variance.
2. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing building and construct a two -unit
commercial building with a surface parking lot with nine parking spaces. The applicant
requests a Conditional Use Permit to establish a Parking Management Plan to reduce
the required off - street parking by two parking spaces. The applicant requests a
Variance to allow the parking spaces to encroach 1 -foot into the required 5 -foot alley
setback and for more than 10 -feet of the alley right -of -way to be used to accommodate
the required drive aisle width. The site currently has a drive aisle on East Coast
Highway. The proposal includes closing up the curb cut, providing one additional on-
street space, and providing access to the parking lot from the alley at the rear of the
property.
3. The subject property is located within the Commercial Corridor (CC) Zoning District and
the General Plan Land Use Element category is Corridor Commercial (CC).
4. The subject property is not located within the coastal zone.
5. A public hearing was held on August 8, 2013, in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic
Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was
given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written
and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this
meeting.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
Pursuant to Section 15270 of the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") Guidelines,
projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves are not subject to CEQA review.
Planning Commission Resolution No.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
2 of 3
The Planning Commission may approve a conditional use permit only after making each of
the required findings set forth in Section 20.52.020 (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use
Permits). In this case, the Planning Commission was unable to make the required findings
based upon the following:
1. The Conditional Use Permit application for the reduction in the required off- street
parking is not consistent with the legislative intent of Title 20 of the Municipal Code
and the findings required by Section 20.52.020 are not supported in this case. The
proposed project may prove detrimental to the community.
2. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are not compatible
with the allowed uses in the vicinity. The proposed, project with only nine (9) parking
spaces is not compatible with the existing re sid a1, institutional, and commercial
uses in the area.
The Planning Commission may approve a variance only after making each of the required
findings set forth in Section 20.52.090 (Variances). In this case'*the Planning Commission
was unable to make the required findings based upon the following:
1. The Variance application for the proposed encroachment in the alley setback for
parking is not consistent with the legislative intent of Title 20 of the Municipal Code
and the findings required by Section 20.52.090 are not supported in this case. The
proposed project may prove detrimental to the community.
2. The irregular shape, size, and topography of this property do not preclude the
construction of a reasonable size building. The proposed project can be redesigned to
comply with the required development standards and approval of the Variance is not
necessary to preserve this substantial property right.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby denies Conditional Use
Permit No. UP2013 -007 and Variance No. VA2013 -007.
2. This action shall become final and effective fourteen days after the adoption of this
Resolution unless within such time an appeal is filed with the City Clerk in accordance
with the provisions of Title 20 Planning and Zoning, of the Newport Beach Municipal
Code.

RE: Revised project description and justification of a Planning Permit for the Modification and
Variance to the required parking standards at 2828 E. Coast Highway.
As agent representing the ownership of 2828 E. Coast Highway, I submit for your review this
letter of justification with the attached Planning Permit Application. The property owner
proposes to construct 2,637 sf of new commercial space to replace the existing 1,400 sf. of
existing space currently occupying the property In one of the last two remaining
"temporary" buildings on Coast Hwy. The proposed retail use is both allowed in the CC
zone, consistent with the General Plan's call for pedestrian oriented uses and significantly
less area than the allowable 4,155 sf for the site (0.75FAR x 5,540 sf lot area). The parking
requirement for the retail use is 1sp /250sf requiring a total of 11 spaces. The owner is
requesting a Modification to the parking standard for the reduction in the required off -
street parking from 11 spaces to 9 spaces. Also, our parking lot plan requires a Variance to
the required parking setback from 5' -0" to 4' -0 ".
We have created a three pronged parking management plan to helpjustify the Planning
Permit. First, one new on- street parking space directly in front of the property is created by
removing the existing curb cut and driveway. The increased on- street parking will both
serve the proposed building as well as enhance parking in the general vicinity.
Second, the design divides the building into two separate suites. The two spaces are split
by a shared walk /breezeway that connects the rear alley and adjacent new parking lot to
the public sidewalk at the building's front on Coast Hwy. Combined with the glass line
being pulled back from the street to accommodate landscaping, the breezeway
encourages (handicap accessible) pedestrian travel and use.
Third, the parking lot design maximizes the number of spaces that can be accessed from
the alley including four employee only tandem spaces. Due to the irregular shape and
slope of the lot, utilizing the alley as part of our drive aisle is the only feasible way to
develop the lot. Placing a drive aisle thru the lot from the alley to Coast Hwy would require
a sloped condition greater than 5% (illegal for parking) and eats up almost all of the site's
buildable area. The slope requires us to back fill and re -grade the rear portion of the
property. In order to limit the amount of costly grading we're requesting a reduced alley
parking setback from 5' -0" to 4' -0. The site's shape creates a 55 degree angled stall
orientation to the alley. With the 4' parking setback, the angled orientation provides
enough space to meet the minimum parking lot drive aisle requirements of Public Works
Standard STD - 805 -L -A. We can furtherjustify the reduced setback and adequacy of the
drive aisle width due to the unlikelihood of parking ever occurring on the opposite side of
the alley. While the typical alley would have parking on both sides, the church side yard
ensures that parking will not occur on the opposite side. The reduced setback was
reviewed and accepted by the city's traffic engineer.
Given the proposed retail use is legal and our parking management plan maximizes both
the parking available on and off site, I submit that: 1.) The proposed parking arrangement
is the maximum amount of legal parking the shape, size, and slope of the lot will allow; 2.)
The location and design of the site will allow for a greater than normal walk in trade; 3.) The
design, location, size and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with the
allowed uses in the vicinity; 4.) The proposed use and parking plan in terms of design,
location, shape, size, pedestrian and vehicle access, and operating characteristics, along
with the existence of public services and utilities is physically suitable for the site; and 5.)
Operation of the use and parking management plan at the location would not be
detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or
otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or
general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood.
Therefore, I ask that you review and approve the subject Planning Permit Application.
Thank you in advance for your review of the application and do not hesitate to contact
me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Scott Laidlaw
