• General Plan Amendment No. 99 -2 (E)
• Planning Directors Use Permit No. 40
Request to expand the second floor office area in an existing building by
approximately 882 square feet. Also included is a request to relocate a small
sports memorabilia museum, known as the Newport Sports Collection
Foundation, into the bottom floor of the building. The project involves the
approval of:
a General Plan Amendment to permit additional development
since there is no additional allowable development in this part of
Newport Center, and;
• a Use Permit to permit the use of the sports memorabilia museum as
an accessory use to the principal permitted office use.
Commissioner Kranzley stepped down from the dais because of a possible
conflictof interest.
John Hamilton, President of the Newport Sports Collection Foundation at
Commission inquiry, stated that he had asked the Irvine Company about the
opportunity to replace some of the ficus trees along Newport Center Drive.
The indication was to present a detailed landscape plan.
Chairperson Selich asked if he had any concerns about a condition to retain
those trees as part of this application. These parcels were developed as one
parcel and the trees were planted along Newport Center Drive in the
setback area. As part of the design concept, I am concerned with the
removal of trees, as it will destroy that concept.
Mr. Hamilton answered that he has received a report from an arborist
concerning the conditions of those trees and that there may be issues of
safety concerns and ability to survive. He does not see the relation between
the trees and what is being asked for. If the arborist shows that the trees are
diseased or need to be replaced, 1 will be reasonable with what would be
replanted.

Commissioner Fuller asked about the display area and that it would remain as
part of the building. Would you object to a condition that, this approval if
granted, would restrict that use to display area? Mr. Hamilton agreed, he
said that it would be undesirable as office space as there are no windows in
that area and is part of a vault.
Mrs. Wood noted that the parking provided is at an office rate. If this area
were converted back to office, we would still be in compliance with the
parking requirement. Office is the primary use permitted at this site. The
display area is the unusual part that requires a use permit.
Commission Tucker noted that this use permit is to move a museum that is
otherwise located in Newport Center to this location, which in my mind is
more conducive to public viewing than the existing location.
Commissioner Hoglund stated that staff would recommend approval of this
expansion of 882 square feet. Are we saying that the expansion is okay
because we need more office space? Or, if we approve an extra 882 square
feet because it is a museum, then we should put a condition that it has to
remain part of that space. If it is not going to remain a museum, than we
should not bring up the fact that it is a museum as part of the approval
. process.
Mrs. Wood stated that if that would be the only reason Commission would
approve the additional square footage, than a condition like that would
make sense. But, because it is such a small addition and staff does not
believe it will have any traffic, parking or other environmental impact and
since office is the primary permitted use in this area, it appears to be an
abundance of caution to add this. Staff would have recommended
approval if an office tenant came in and asked for an additional 882 square
feet.
Public comment was closed.
Motion was made by Chairperson Selich to recommend to City Council,
approval of General Plan Amendment 99 -2 (E) and Planning Directors Use
Permit No. 40 with the findings and conditions as outlined in Exhibit A with an
additional condition that the ficus trees along Newport Center Drive be
preserved unless the applicant submits to staff a report from a recognized
arborist that the trees need to be removed. In the event of their removal that
they be replaced with the largest sized trees of the some species commonly
found in commercial nurseries.
Chairperson Selich noted that this is an integral part of the entrance to
Newport Center and by starting to selectively remove the ficus trees with no
replacement than other property owner can do the some thing. The

landscape plan will then be destroyed and that is part of the character along
that area. This issue is part of the design guidelines being pursued now.
Commissioner Tucker noted that he would like to see a condition that if there
is a change to the landscape plan, it be presented to the Planning
Commission as opposed to saying that those ficus trees in that location is
sacrosanct. There are other trees in the landscape palette throughout
Fashion Island that might actually be more complimentary than the ficus
trees.
Commissioner Gifford noted that we could insert this language regarding a
landscape plan that if the applicant is going to change the landscape, he
comes back to the Commission with a landscape plan.
A straw vote taken indicated that the majority of the Commission wanted a
condition regarding the ficus trees.
Commissioner Fuller noted the resolution as written should be changed:
• second and third Whereas needs to be stricken as they reference a sports
museum in that area
• the third Whereas should have, "proposed sports memorabilia museum"
stricken from the verbiage
It was agreed to by staff and Commission to delete the second and third
recitals and edit the third recital by removing the words proposed sports
memorabilia museum.
Commissioner Fuller commended Mr. Hamilton for the fantastic job on this
museum.
Mrs. Wood suggested that a condition regarding the preservation of trees
during construction. I suggest that we recommend that the trees be
protected during the construction.
Motion was amended to include the changes agreed upon as well as the
verbiage in the resolution.

approval of
• a General Plan Amendment to permit additional development since there
is no additional allowable development in this part of Newport Center,
and;
• a Use Permit to permit the use of the sports memorabilia museum as an
accessory use to the principal permitted office use.
ACTION: Recommend to City Council approval, modification or denial of
• General Plan Amendment No. 99 -2(E), and
• Planning Directors Use Permit No. 40

Points and Authority
Conformance with the General Plan and Zoning
• The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the site as Block 100 — Gateway
Plaza. The site is designated for Administrative, Professional and Financial
Commercial land use and is allocated 196,545 square feet of office development. The
proposed additional floor area of the second floor office area will increase the square
footage of Block 100 — Gateway Plaza above that which is allocated by the Land Use
Element. The applicant is therefore proposing a General Plan Amendment to increase
the permitted gross floor area on the site.
• Use permit procedures and requirements are set forth in Chapters 20.91 of the
Municipal Code.
Environmental Compliance (California Environmental Quality Act)
• It has been determined that the project is categorically exempt under Class 1 (Existing

Background
The existing 11,325 square foot building was established in 1975 as a savings and loan. The
building is currently being converted into general - purpose office use.
The Planning Commission initiated General Plan Amendment 99 -2 (E) at its meeting of June 24,
1999. This General Plan Amendment was a proposal to increase the development allocation in
Block 100 of Newport Center to allow additional office space in conjunction with the establishment
of a sports memorabilia museum.
Analysis
The Hamilton Company currently operates a small sports memorabilia museum in an existing
office space in Block 600 of Newport Center. They now wish to relocate their corporate offices
and the Museum, known as the Newport Sports Collection Foundation, into an existing building at
100 Newport Center Drive.
The project is located in the southern section of the building. The remaining part of the building
will continue to be used for general office use. The 882 square feet addition is proposed on the
second floor with the sports memorabilia museum located on the first floor.
The additional 882 square feet will be created by adding a 21 foot by 42 foot second floor over an
existing 2 -story interior atrium. There will be no change in the external building envelope. In
addition, this project will create 4 new parking spaces in the area where the drive -up teller approach
was located.
The project area currently contains a total gross square footage of approximately 7,013 square feet
As shown on the floor plan, the first floor (approximately 3,533 square feet) consists of 2,996
square feet of museum display area, 295 sq. ft of stairway and elevator area, 165 square feet of
toilet room area and 77 sq. ft of enclosed non accessible area. The second floor (approximately
3,480 square feet) consists of 2,999 square feet of usable office area, 155 sq. ft of stairway and
elevator area, 277 square feet of toilet room area and 42 sq. ft of enclosed non - accessible area.
General Plan Amendment
The Land Use Element of the General Plan is a long range planning document setting forth the
City's policies for the use of land. The objective of the Land Use Element is to provide an orderly
balance of residential and commercial uses with an emphasis on preserving the quality of life in the
City.
Block 100 — Gateway Plaza is allocated 196,545 square feet of office development. The adopted
development limits do not provide for sufficient further growth on this site to accommodate the
proposed development. However, amendments to the General Plan may be approved with the
finding that the amendment is consistent with the intent and policies of the General Plan.
GPA 99 -2(E) .
Directors Use Permit No. 40
September 9, 1999

jl
General Plan Policy B allows for some modest growth provided that traffic does not exceed the
level of service desired by the City. Analysis of the development shows that the additional office
will produce 12 additional daily trips and the conversion of office to museum will result in 25
additional daily trips. The total additional 37 trips is considered to be insignificant in the Newport
Center Area, and intersections will stay within the predicted Level of Service contained in the
Circulation Element. Therefore, approval of this amendment would be consistent with this policy.
General Plan Policy L provides for the City to promote the prosperity of its commercial districts
through the adoption of appropriate development regulations, so those districts reflect and
complement the high quality of its residential areas. As previously stated, the proposed amendment
will provide for additional professional and business office space. Professional and office uses are
an integral part of an important commercial district in Newport Beach. It is the opinion of staff that
an addition of 882 square feet of office to the interior of an existing building will improve the
prosperity of Block 100 — Gateway Plaza and the overall Newport Center area by increasing the
availability of quality office space in the area. Therefore, the amendment meets the intent of
General Plan Policy L.
Use Permit
The project site is in the APF Zoning District, consistent with the General Plan land use
designation. This district allows uses which are accessory to the principal permitted uses such as
offices with a use permit. This project is somewhat unique, since the small sports memorabilia
museum is operated in a fashion which is accessory to the corporate office activity of the applicant.
In this case, staff is of the opinion that the use is compatible with the surrounding uses and will not
be detrimental to the neighborhood since it has operated in a similar setting for many years with no
problems.
Off -Street Parking
This project has two issues related to parking — the addition of 882 square feet of office use and the
parking needs for the museum.
The subject site currently contains 45 parking spaces. The Municipal Code has a parking
requirement of 1 parking space per 250 square feet for commercial office uses. This project will
create 4 new parking spaces in the area where the drive -up teller approach was located, thus
fulfilling the additional parking need.
The Municipal Code establishes the parking requirement for cultural institutions at one space for
each 300 square feet. This is a slightly lower requirement than that provided for office uses and, if
applied in this case, would reduce the parking requirement by 2 spaces. Since the museum area
could be readily converted back to office occupancy without further review of the City, staff has
included a condition to require parking at one space for each 250 square feet. Therefore staff is of
the opinion that the number of on -site parking spaces is adequate.

Recommendations
The adoption and amendment of the General Plan is considered a legislative act on the part of the
City, and State Planning Law does not set forth any required findings for either approval or denial
of a General Plan Amendment. The existing office building is consistent with the General Plan and
the added sports memorabilia museum is accessory to the principal use. The proposed increase in
permitted floor area is consistent with General Plan policies because adverse traffic impacts are not
anticipated in association with the project and adequate parking is provided.
Section 20.91.035 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code provides that in order to grant any use
permit, the Planning Commission shall find that the establishment, maintenance or operation of the
use or building applied for will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to
the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, and general welfare of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood of such proposed use or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in
the neighborhood or the general welfare of the City.
Based on the analysis contained in this report, staff is of the opinion that findings for approval of
the use permit can be made for the sports memorabilia museum since the facility will be integrated
into the existing office site development and will comply with the objectives of the City's Zoning
Code. The parking requirement and demand of the site can be adequately met by the parking
provided on site. Additionally, due to the highly developed character of the surrounding land, the
development will not change the character of the existing development on the neighborhood.
Should the Planning Commission wish to approve Planning Directors Use Permit No. 40, the
findings and conditions of approval set forth in the attached Exhibit "A" are suggested.
Staff cannot reasonably conceive of findings for denial since the sports memorabilia museum use
conforms to the requirements of the Title 20 of the Municipal Code and does not appear to have
any detrimental effect on the surrounding neighborhood. However, should information be
presented at the public hearing which would warrant the denial of this application, the Planning
Commission may wish to take such action.
