SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment No. 2004 -006 and Code Amendment No. 2005 -006
Master Development Corporation Office Expansion, 4200 Von Karman Ave.

APPLICANT: Master Development Corporation
ISSUE
Should the City Council approve a General Plan Amendment to Statistical Area L4 (Koll
Center Newport Office Site B) of the Land Use Element to increase the maximum allowable
gross office area by 1,750 square feet? Additionally, a Code Amendment to the Professional
and Business Office Site B of the Koll Center Planned Community Text (PC -15) to increase the
maximum allowable net office area by 1,367 square feet is necessary to allow the applicant to
replace an existing one -story 1,330 square feet office building with a 3,080 square feet office
building.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing and approve the request by
approving Resolution No. 2005 - for General Plan Amendment No. 2004 -006 and
introducing Ordinance No. 2005 - for Code Amendment No. 2005 -006, and passing the
ordinance to a second reading for adoption on August 9, 2005.
DISCUSSION
On July 7, 2005, the Planning Commission voted 6 ayes (one absent) to recommend
approval of the proposed amendments to the City Council. The Planning Commission
originally considered this application on June 9, 2005. After receiving public testimony, the
Planning Commission moved to continue the application to July 7, 2005, in order for the
applicant and the Koll Company to resolve several outstanding issues relating to parking.

General Plan Amendment
The subject site is located within Statistical Area L4 (Koll Center Newport Office Site B),
which is presently allocated 1,006,432 square feet of development. The existing entitlement
has been fully utilized. Therefore, an increase in entitlement is necessary to accommodate
the proposed 1,750 gross square foot addition.
The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the project site as Administrative,
Professional and Financial. The proposed office development is consistent with this
designation.
The objective of the Land Use Element is to provide an orderly balance of residential and
commercial uses with an emphasis on maintaining a high quality environment for people
living, working and visiting the City. Amendments can be approved upon finding that they are
consistent with the surrounding land uses and the policies of the Land Use Element. The
June 9, 2005 Planning Commission Staff Report discusses several of the general
development policies of the Land Use Element applicable to the project. Staff finds that,
based on the analysis of the Land Use Element policies, the proposed project is consistent
with the General Plan and the increase in development allocation can be approved.
Charter Section 423 Analysis
Statistical Area L4 has a current General Plan limit of 8,102,562 square feet. The project will
add 1,750 gross square feet of non - residential intensity in Koll Center Newport Office Site B.
Council Policy A -18 requires that proposed General Plan amendments be reviewed to
determine if the 100 peak hour trip, 40,000 square foot, or 100 dwelling unit thresholds are
exceeded.
Based on the trip generation rates contained in the Council Policy A -18, the proposed project
is forecast to generate 19 additional daily trips, of which 2 are expected in the AM peak and 2
trips in the PM peak.
Although the proposed project does not exceed the 100 peak hour trip threshold, Section 423
of the Charter requires that all General Plan Amendments be tracked as "Prior Amendments"
for ten years to determine if minor amendments in a single Statistical Area cumulatively
exceed the thresholds. Eighty - percent of the increases attributable to prior amendments are
added to the increases of the proposed project to determine if any thresholds have been
exceeded. There were two prior amendments approved for Statistical Area L4, and the
following chart shows the area and peak hour trips analysis.
Master Development Corporation Office Expansion
July 26, 2005
Page 3
As indicated in the preceding chart, the resulting total of the proposed amendment and the
"prior amendments" is an additional 19.5 — A.M. peak hour trips and 27.2 — P.M. peak hour
trips and a total increase of 3,022 square feet. Since the totals do not exceed the 100 peak
hour trip or 40,000 square foot thresholds, a vote pursuant to Charter Section 423 is not
required. If the City Council approves the proposed amendment, it too will become a "prior
amendment' that will be tracked for ten years.
The proposed changes to Statistical Area L4 pertaining to Koll Center Newport Office Site B
are shown as Exhibit "A" of the draft City Council Resolution (Attachment A).
Planned Community Text Amendment
The Koll Center Newport Planned Community District Regulations were adopted by the City
of Newport Beach on August 14, 1972. The applicant is proposing to amend Section I of Part
II — Commercial pertaining to site and building areas. This particular section of the PC Text
has been amended twice, once in 1980 and in 1984. The proposed amendment would
increase the allowable net building area by 1,367 square feet (the amount necessary to
construct the proposed building) in Office Site B from 963,849 to 965,216 net square feet.
The proposed change in building area within the PC Text affects the Statistical Analysis
Section and these changes have been included.
The proposed changes to Section I of Part 11 of the PC Text are shown as Exhibit "A" of the
draft Ordinance (Attachment B).
Environmental Review
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project has been reviewed, and it has
been determined that it is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).
This class allows for new construction of up to 10,000 square feet in urbanized areas where all
necessary public services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not
environmentally sensitive.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT
BEACH APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 2004 -006 TO THE
LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE NEWPORT BEACH GENERAL PLAN TO
INCREASE THE DEVELOPMENT ALLOCATION OF KOLL CENTER
NEWPORT OFFICE SITE B OF AIRPORT AREA (STATISTICAL AREA L4) BY
1,750 GROSS SQUARE FEET (PA2004 -231)
WHEREAS, an application was filed by Master Development Corporation with respect to
property located at 4200 Von Karman Avenue, and legally described as Parcel 3 of Parcel Map
No. 82 -713 map filed in Book 181, Pages 13 through 19, proposing to amend the Statistical
Area L4 (Koll Center Newport Office Site B) of the Land Use Element to increase the
development allocation by 1,750 gross square feet. The applicant also requests an
amendment to the Koll Center Planned Community Text (PC -15) to increase the maximum
allowable net area by 1,367 square feet. These requests are necessary to allow the applicant
to replace the existing one -story 1,330 square foot with a new 2 -story 3,080 square foot office
building.
WHEREAS, on June 9, 2005, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing in
the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice
of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Municipal Code.
Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning
Commission at this meeting. After receiving public comments, the Planning Commission
continued the application to July 7, 2005 in order for the applicant to resolve several outstanding
issues with the Koll Company.
WHEREAS, on July 7, 2005, the Planning Commission received further public comments
and with a vote of 6 ayes (one absent) recommended approval of General Plan Amendment No.
2004 -006 and Code Amendment No. 2005 -006 to the City Council.
WHEREAS, the property is designated Administrative, Professional, & Financial
Commercial by the General Plan Land Use Element. The City has adopted Planned Community
District Regulations (PC -15 Koll Center) that establish development standards and use
regulations to implement the General Plan. The property is presently improved with a one -story
1,330 square foot professional office building.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 20.94 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the City
Council held a noticed public hearing on July 26, 2005 to consider the proposed amendment
to the Statistical Area L4 (Koll Center Newport Office Site B) of the Land Use Element and the
recommendations of the Planning Commission.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds:
1. As part of the development and implementation of the Newport Beach General Plan,
the Land Use Element has been prepared which, sets forth objectives, supporting
policies and limitations for development in the City of Newport Beach and designates
ki
Page 2 of 5
the general distribution and general location and extent of the uses of land and building
intensities in a number of ways, including commercial floor area limitations.
2. The General Plan provides for a sufficient diversity of land uses so that schools,
employment, recreation areas, public facilities, churches and neighborhood shopping
centers are in close proximity to each resident of the community. The proposed
amendment does not impact the diversity of land uses but only modestly increases the
intensity of existing uses.
3. The Land Use Element of the General Plan allows for the redevelopment of older or
underutilized properties to preserve the value of property by allowing for some modest
growth, while maintaining acceptable levels of traffic service. The project consists of an
increase in the development allocation of 1,750 gross square feet, which will not result
in an increase in traffic levels beyond the projected capacity and levels of service of the
circulation system as the project is anticipated to generate 19 additional daily trips, with
2 — A.M. peak hour trips and 2 - P.M. peak hour trips, which are insignificant increases.
4. The City's General Plan indicates that the City shall maintain suitable and adequate
standards for landscaping, sign control, site and building design, parking and
undergrounding of utilities to ensure that the quality character of residential
neighborhoods are maintained and that commercial and office projects are aesthetically
pleasing and compatible with surrounding land uses. The City implements this policy
through the Koll Center Planned Community Text. Other than the modest increase in
intensity, the project meets all applicable development standards. The project has also
been designed to be physically compatible with the existing and surrounding
professional office and commercial developments.
5. Charter Section 423 requires all proposed General Plan Amendments to be reviewed to
determine if the square footage, peak hour vehicle trip or dwelling unit thresholds have
been exceeded and a vote by the public is required. This project has been reviewed in
accordance with Council Policy A -18 and a voter approval is not required as the project
represents an increase of 2 — A.M. and 2 — P.M. peak hour trips, 1,750 gross square
feet of non - residential floor area and zero residential units. These increases, when
added with 80% of the increases attributable to two previously approved amendments,
result in a total of 19.5 — A.M. peak hour trips and 27.2 — P.M. peak hour trips and a
total increase in 3,022 square feet do not cumulatively exceed Charter Section 423
thresholds for a vote.
6. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project has been reviewed, and
it has been determined that it is categorically exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of
Small Structures). This class allows for new constructions of up to 10,000 square feet in
urbanized areas where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the
surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach does hereby amend the Land Use Element, Statistical Area L4, KCN -Office Site B, and

RESOLUTION NO. 1669
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT NO. 2004 -006 TO INCREASE THE DEVELOPMENT
ALLOCATION OF KOLL CENTER NEWPORT OFFICE SITE B OF AIRPORT
AREA (STATISTICAL AREA L4) BY 1,750 SQUARE FEET AND CODE
AMENDMENT NO. 2005 -006 TO INCREASE THE DEVELOPMENT
ALLOCATION FOR PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS OFFICES OF SITE B
IN THE KOLL CENTER PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT (PC -15) BY 1,367
NET SQUARE FEET (PA2004 -231)
WHEREAS, an application was filed by Master Development Corporation with respect to
property located at 4200 Von Karman Avenue, and legally described as Parcel 3 of Parcel map
No. 82 -713 map filed in Book 181, Pages 13 through 19, proposing to amend the Statistical
Area L4 (Koll Center Newport Office Site B) of the Land Use Element to increase the
development allocation by 1,750 gross square feet and the Koll Center Planned Community
Text (PC -15) by 1,367 net square feet in order to accommodate the construction of 3,080
square foot office building. The applicant proposes to replace the existing one -story 1,330
square foot with a new 2 -story 3,080 square foot office building.
WHEREAS, at the June 9, 2005 meeting, the Planning Commission received public
comments and continued the application to July 7, 2005. The continuance was necessary for
the applicant to resolve several outstanding issues with the Koll Company.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on July 7, 2005, in the City Hall Council
Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and
purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Municipal Code. Evidence, both
written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at this
meeting.
WHEREAS, the property is designated Administrative, Professional, & Financial
Commercial by the General Plan Land Use Element. The City has adopted Planned Community
District Regulations (PC -15 Koll Center) that establish development standards and use
regulations to implement the General Plan. The property is presently improved with a one -story
1,330 square foot professional office building.
NOW THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section No. 1. The Planning Commission makes the following findings:
1. As part of the development and implementation of the Newport Beach General Plan,
the Land Use Element has been prepared which, sets forth objectives, supporting
policies and limitations for development in the City of Newport Beach and designates
the general distribution and general location and extent of the uses of land and
building intensities in a number of ways, including commercial floor area limitations.
A5
Planning Commission Resolution No.
Page 2 of 9
2. The General Plan provides for a sufficient diversity of land uses so that schools,
employment, recreation areas, public facilities, churches and neighborhood shopping
centers are in close proximity to each resident of the community. The proposed
amendment does not impact the diversity of land uses but only modestly increases the
intensity of existing uses.
3. The Land Use Element of the General Plan allows for the redevelopment of older or
underutilized properties to preserve the value of property by allowing for some modest
growth, while maintaining acceptable levels of traffic service. The project consists of
an increase in the development allocation of 1,750 gross square feet, which will not
result in an increase in traffic levels beyond the projected capacity and levels of
service of the circulation system as the project is anticipated to generate 19 additional
daily trips, with 2 — A.M. peak hour trips and 2 - P.M. peak hour trips, which are
insignificant increases.
4. The City's General Plan indicates that the City shall maintain suitable and adequate
standards for landscaping, sign control, site and building design, parking and
undergrounding of utilities to ensure that the quality character of residential
neighborhoods are maintained and that commercial and office projects are
aesthetically pleasing and compatible with surrounding land uses. The City
implements this policy through the Koll Center Planned Community Text. Other than
the modest increase in intensity, the project meets all applicable development
standards. The project has also been designed to be physically compatible with the
existing and surrounding professional office and commercial developments.
5. Charter Section 423 requires all proposed General Plan Amendments to be reviewed
to determine if the square footage, peak hour vehicle trip or dwelling unit thresholds
have been exceeded and a vote by the public is required. This project has been
reviewed in accordance with Council Policy A -18 and a voter approval is not required
as the project represents an increase of 2 — A.M. and 2 — P.M. peak hour trips, 1,750
gross square feet of non - residential floor area and zero residential units. These
increases, when added with 80% of the increases attributable to two previously
approved amendments, result in a total of 19.5 — A.M. peak hour trips and 27.2 — P.M.
peak hour trips and a total increase in 3,022 square feet do not cumulatively exceed
Charter Section 423 thresholds for a vote.
6. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project has been reviewed,
and it has been determined that it is categorically exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of
Small Structures). This class allows for new constructions of up to 10,000 square feet in
urbanized areas where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the
surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive.
Section No. 2. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Commission
hereby recommends approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2004 -006 per the revised
estimated growth table depicted in Exhibit "A" and Code Amendment No. 2005 -006 per the

he applicant and those involved in the Koll Center. It is really a staff clean upl
item. The application has questions that have come up and the Commission will
I imit the discussion to what is before us.
Is. Temple noted that there has not yet been an agreement between the tw
roperty owners related to the ability to make changes to the parking are,
,hich is not part of the applicant's parcel. Because this is a General Plan an
oning action we are unable to attach conditions of approval. Therefore, if w
oprove the General Plan and Zoning Amendments we will be creatin
dditional entitlement. If they are unable to achieve whatever agreement
acessary for the additional parking that is required then that square footage
Bailable in that block pool and can be implemented by other parties. That
of a major concern of staff, but if it is a concern of the Commission for th
oproval, then you should continue this until the agreement regarding th
irking lot improvements is agreed to between the two owners. However, w
ould not issue a building permit for the addition without approving th
Jequacy of parking.
irperson Tucker noted that if the General Plan was approved then anyone i
area could use that footage if the applicant did not, it is not just attached t
parcel?
Temple answered yes, it's an office site vehicle center, so anybody cou
it. If there is no agreement regarding the additional parking, that squa
age stays in Office Site B and anyone who could prove that they h,
cient parking to support that additional square footage could implement it.
Is. Temple added that in Koll Center Newport a high number of office and othe
uildings are on what is called postage stamp lots that provide sufficient land fo
ie building and whatever Building Code setbacks are required. Most of th(
arking is owned by Koll Center and is managed on a pool basis. The applican
as to find a place to add 5 additional parking spaces and they do not yet hav,
n agreement with Koll Company for access to the pool.
Jerson Tucker asked if the parking for the entire Office Site B is exactly
now? Are there more or less spaces than required?
s. Temple answered we do not have the full records as to the precise num
parking spaces in the pool. The need for an additional 5 spaces is based
e increase that is proposed.
ommissioner Hawkins queried that if we approve the General Pla
mendment and the applicant is unsuccessful in getting their parking, we w
)t have a parking waiver, it is that the applicant will not be able to implemer
e plan, is that correct?
Temple answered yes, we would not issue the Building Permit withou
ling that sufficient parking is being provided. The entitlement would still be
:. At Commission inquiry, she noted that parking for Koll Center Newport is
d on a special office pool /sliding scale that is based on square footage.

lof 375,000 square feet, the requirement is 1 parking space for 300 square feet.
McDonald, applicant, noted the following:
. He has been operating his business for over ten years at this site a
purchased the property 20 months ago with the intent to add 1,300 squa
feet to the building.
. He made an informal presentation to the Koll Center (declarant)
November and they responded as well as other submittals in full detail.
is his intent to get Koll approval.
. The complex is over a million square feet. He and his partner are
owners of a postage stamp lot along with 20 other small and large build
owners.
. The parking lot is a sprawling legal lot that has thousands of pa
stalls.
. Staff, over a number of years, has amended the Planned Community text
to get all these buildings built within Koll Center. This is not the first time a
building has been built or re- built.
. Koll Company owns the parking lot.
. There is a set of CC and R's that control what goes on in the Center
as use, setbacks and parking.
. We all as owners, enjoy common area rights, full beneficial rights
undivided interest rights to every parking stall in the center.
. What our CC and R's say is a private matter between two parties.
. The CC and R's clearly state what a building site owner can do wit
reference to landscape and parking. As an owner I can do that, providing
am only modifying my development area, which is appurtenant to the sit
area that I own. We have an agreement in place, which is the CC and R'
document.
. Staff noted that we would be required to get the declarant's
before the City allows a building permit on site.
. We are adding five stalls on our site plan located against the building.
. We are maintaining the harmony of the footprint and glass scheme of

Ir. McDonald answered that we do not have the legal ownership of it, but ,
wners within the Koll Center Newport have the undivided interest of the fre

to allow the parties to come to some sort of arrangement.
Hawkins noted his support of a continuance.

Analysis
General Plan
The subject site is located within Statistical Area L4 (Koll Center Newport Office Site B),
which is presently allocated 1,006,432 square feet of development. The existing
entitlement has been fully utilized. Therefore, an increase in entitlement is necessary to
accommodate the proposed 1,750 gross square foot addition.
The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the project site as
Administrative, Professional and Financial. The proposed office development is
consistent with this designation.
The objective of the Land Use Element is to provide an orderly balance of residential
and commercial uses with an emphasis of maintaining a high quality environment for
people living, working and visiting the City. Amendments can be approved upon finding
that they are consistent with the surrounding land uses and the policies of the Land Use
Element. The following table discusses several of the general development policies of
the Land Use Element applicable to the project.

Staff believes that, based on the analysis of the Land Use Element policies, the
proposed project can be found consistent with the General Plan and the increase in
development allocation can be approved.
Charter Section 423 Analysis
Statistical Area L4 has a current General Plan limit of 8,102,562 square feet. The
project will add 1,750 gross square feet of non - residential intensity in Koll Center
Newport Office Site B. Council Policy A -18 requires that proposed General Plan
amendments be reviewed to determine if the 100 peak hour trip, 40,000 square foot or
100 dwelling unit thresholds are exceeded.
Master Development Corporation Office Expansion
June 9, 2005
Page 5
Based on the trip generation rates contained in the Council Policy A -18, the proposed
project is forecast to generate 19 additional daily trips.
Although the proposed project does not exceed the 100 peak trip threshold, Section 423
of the Charter requires that all General Plan Amendments be tracked as "Prior
Amendments" for ten years to determine if minor amendments in a single Statistical
Area cumulatively exceed the thresholds. Eighty - percent of the increases attributable to
prior amendments are added to the increases of the proposed project to determine if
any thresholds have been exceeded. There were two prior amendments approved for
Statistical Area L4, and the following chart shows the area and peak hour trips analysis.
As indicated in the preceding chart, the resulting total of the proposed amendment and
the "prior amendments" is an additional 21.4 — A.M. peak hour trips and 29.2 — P.M.
peak hour trips and a total increase of 3,022 square feet. Since the totals do not exceed
the 100 peak hour trip or 40,000 square foot thresholds a vote pursuant to Charter
Section 423 is not required. If the City Council approves the proposed amendment, it to
will become a "prior amendment' that will be tracked for ten years.
The proposed changes to Statistical Area L4 pertaining to Koll Center Newport Office
Site B are shown as Exhibit "A" of the draft Planning Commission Resolution (Exhibit 1).
Planned Community TextAmendment
The Koll Center Newport Planned Community District Regulations were adopted by the
City of Newport Beach on August 14, 1972. The applicant is proposing to amend
Section I of Part II — Commercial pertaining to site and building areas. This particular
section of the PC Text has been amended twice, once in 1980 and the latter in 1984.
The proposed amendment would increase the allowable net building area by 1,367
square feet (the amount necessary to construct the proposed building) in Office Site B
from 963,849 to 965,216 net square feet. The proposed change in building area within
the PC Text affects the Statistical Analysis Section and that these changes have been
included.
The proposed changes to Section I of Part II of the PC Text are shown as Exhibit "B" of
the draft Planning Commission Resolution (Exhibit 1).

Parking
Parking for the existing office is being provided on a contiguous parcel, at the southerly
side of the subject property. The parking parcel presently has a total of 11 parking
spaces and is a part of Office Site B's common area parcel which is in accordance with
the PC Text's parking pool allowance. To accommodate the new and larger office
building and to comply with the parking pool criteria, the applicant is proposing to
provide 5 additional parking spaces to the existing parking pool parcel. The proposed
office development, therefore, will have adequate off - street parking as required for the
business and professional office buildings within the Koll Center Newport.
Square Footage Adjustment
The Planning Department with the assistance from the Building Department recently
completed a review of all existing building permits for Statistical Area L4 including Koll
Center Newport Office Site B. The review revealed that the overall building gross floor
area of this block is approximately 1,006,432 square feet and 54,466 square feet less
than the Land Use Element currently indicates. This number was derived from a
combination of building plans and permits and staff believes the current area total is
accurate. Therefore, staff is suggesting to change the maximum area allocated in the
Koll Center Newport Office Site B from 1,060,898 to 1,006,432 gross square feet (not
including the proposed increase allocation). With the proposed General Plan
Amendment, the total gross square footage would be 1,008,182 (1,006,432 + 1,750).
Staff also suggests that the overall gross square footage for this area should be added
to the PC Text for reference purposes as the PC Text was adopted in 1972 prior to the
adoption of the General Plan Land Use Element in 1987 and it contains allowable
development in the form of net square footage.
Environmental Review
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project has been reviewed, and
it has been determined that it is categorically exempt from the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of
Small Structures). This class allows for new constructions of up to 10,000 square feet in
urbanized areas where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the
surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive.
Public Notice
Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to property owners within
300 feet of the property (excluding roads and waterways) and posted at the site a
minimum of 10 days in advance of this hearing consistent with the Municipal Code.

Additionally, the item appeared upon the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at
City Hall and on the city website. No written correspondence or any public inquiries
have been received as of the writing of this report.
Summary
Staff believes the proposed General Plan Amendment does not conflict with the policies
identified in the Land Use Element, does not exceed any of the thresholds for a vote
established by Charter Section 423 and that the modest 1,750 gross square foot
increase in floor area within the statistical area can be supported. Additionally, staff
believes that the Code Amendment request for the office expansion of 1,367 net square
foot can also be supported, as the proposed building meets all the development
standards specified in the Koll Center Planned Community development standards and
will not be detrimental to the surrounding office developments.
