CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 13
March 14, 2006
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Planning Department
Patricia Temple, Planning Director

SUBJECT: An Amendment to Title 20 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code to
add a Fire Facility ( "FF ") Overlay District to the Santa Ana Heights
Specific Plan (PA 2006 -033)
RECOMMENDATION
Introduce Ordinance No. 2006- approving Code Amendment 2006 -002
adding the Fire Facility ( "FF ") Overlay District to the Santa Ana Heights Specific
Plan text, and applying the overlay to the proposed fire station site.
BACKGROUND
The City has acquired two lots at the corner of Mesa Drive and Acacia Street as a
site for the future Santa Ana Heights Fire Station (Fire Station No. 7). In order to
recognize the station, the Santa Ana Heights Project Advisory Committee (PAC)
requested the City to amend Title 20 to designate the fire station land use at the
selected location via the application of a zoning overlay district on the site.
On February 23, 2005, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the
proposed code amendment, and discussed it after a detailed presentation by the Fire
Chief. In order to assure that the Santa Ana Heights PAC was satisfied with the
required Fire Training Facility (FTC) Operations Policy, the Commission added
language to require an advisory vote by PAC prior to the initial approval of the Policy.
This would be in addition to having a public meeting with the surrounding community.
The Commission then adopted Resolution No. 1688, recommending approval of the
code amendment to the City Council (Attachment 4).
Fire Facility ( "FF ") Overlay District Code Amendment
March 14, 2006

ANALYSIS
General Plan Consistency
The Land Use Element of the City's General Plan designates the site Administrative,
Professional and Financial Commercial. This designation provides predominantly for
office uses, but also accommodates support retail and service uses. The fire station
is considered to be a use that provides a service that is supportive of the
predominant uses in the area, so the use is consistent with the General Plan.
Compatibility with the Specific Plan and the Surrounding Neighborhood
The principal reason for this overlay is to allow the training facility included in the
project to have a height limit greater than the Business Park (BP) District of the
Specific Plan allows. The current height limit of the BP zone is 37 feet where the
training tower will be 45 feet in height. Public facilities, such as fire stations, are
generally considered to be compatible with commercial uses and this is supported by
the fact that Civic and Governmental Uses are currently permitted by the underlying
zoning designation of BP.
Surrounding land uses include a golf course to the west and south, nonconforming
residential uses to the north and commercial office uses to the east.
Due to concerns expressed by residents and business owners in the area, the
overlay district as recommended by the Planning Commission set forth a
requirement for a Fire Training Facility Operations Policy. This policy would be
approved by the Planning Director after a public meeting with the surrounding
community and an advisory vote of PAC. The overlay district as recommended by
the Commission specifies the components of the policy in detail.
Upon further review and analysis, staff believes that some components of the
recommended code language are not appropriate for the zoning code. Specifically,
an advisory vote from a community group is not a requirement in any other section of
the zoning code. The code does require notification of any known homeowners
association, business association or other resident group for any discretionary
application. Since the code amendment will require a Use Permit for the fire station
and training facility considered by the Planning Director, notice to the SAHPAC will
be given, and they will have the opportunity to give input into that consideration.
The original proposal also required the Planning Director to consider and approve a
Fire Training Facility operations policy. The policy is to define how the Fire Training
Facility is to operate. This is not considered by staff to be an appropriate zoning
provision. The Fire Chief, not the Planning Director, is the appropriate staff person to
approve this policy. Staff also believes that the requirement for a Use Permit is the
Fire Facility ( "FF ") Overlay District Code Amendment
March 14, 2006
Page 3
Permit is the best way to assure that the training facility will be compatible with the
neighborhood, through the application of conditions of approval, which would likely
include adherence to the policy to address neighborhood concerns related to design
and operation.
Staff understands the importance of these two provisions to the Santa Ana Heights
community. However, we believe they are not needed in the Specific Plan, because
the City has already complied with both of them. The SAHPAC reviewed the design
of the fire station and the Fire Chiefs draft of the Fire Training Facility operations
policy. Moreover, staff believes that including adherence to this policy as a Use
Permit condition of approval provides greater legal standing than the Planning
Director's approval provided in the ordinance as recommended by the Planning
Commission.
Need for this Public Facility
The adequacy of fire services in this and the greater Airport Area have not been
sufficient since the closure of the Orange County Fire Authority fire station on
Campus Drive near John Wayne Airport. Because of this as well as the annexation
of East Santa Ana Heights, the City established a temporary fire station on Zenith
Avenue. The City then began seeking a location for a permanent facility, and
eventually acquired the subject property for the purpose of constructing a permanent
fire station.
Environmental Review
The zoning amendment is categorically exempt from environmental review per
Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 5: "Minor Alterations in Land Use
Limitations ") because the overlay district can apply only to the subject site per the
provisions of the amendment, and, other than the allowance for the height of the
training tower, all other development standards of the underlying zone must be
met.
Public Notice
Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot with the agenda, mailed to
property owners within 300 feet of the property 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.

CONCLUSIONS
The zoning amendment described in this report will provide for a needed fire
station and training facility at an underserved area of the City. The new code
section provides for the facility, but, as now recommended, makes it subject to
stringent requirements to minimize any adverse impacts on surrounding
properties. Therefore, staff recommends that the amendment be approved by the
City Council.

Fire Authority Overlay for the proposed Fire Station (PA 2006 -033).
ITEM NO.4
PA2006 -033
An amendment to Title 20 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code to add a Fire Facility ( "FF ") Recommended
Overlay District to the Santa Ana Heights Specific Plan text and to apply the overlay to the for approval
proposed fire station site located at the northwest corner of Mesa Drive and Acacia Street
Ms. Temple gave a brief overview of the City's application noting that this is a special fire
facility overlay on a property that is owned by the City and is for the purpose of constructing a
new fire station in the Santa Ana Heights Specific Plan area. The language of the overlay was
developed by the Fire Department in association with residents and property owners in the
Santa Ana Heights area. The overlay is the preferred approach in order to preclude any future;
changes that might affect the stated height limits and allows a slightly higher structure for
training purposes. This application does not include a review of the fire station and is a zoning
issue only.
Commissioner Eaton noted the stated inconsistencies in the role of the Project Advisory
Committee (PAC).
Chief Tim Reilly, Fire Chief for the City of Newport Beach, noted:
• The overlay is a preferred method for addressing the concerns that no other changes or
modification to the requirements not related to the fire department and training facility
are made.
• The proposed language has been prepared to address issues and concerns of the PAC
such as height restrictions, light spillage, noise, water spray issues.
• The policy has been discussed and agreed upon by members of the PAC.
• A draft fire training center operations policy addresses the issues of lighting, hours of
operation and was compiled with members of the PAC.
• PAC members are in agreement with this proposal.
• This proposed overlay addresses the operational and training needs and is a collaborative
effort.
Commissioner Eaton suggested adding language, 'after an advisory vote by PAC' to the initial
approval of the facility operation policy. Chief Reilly agreed.
Public comment was opened.
Public comment was closed.
Motion was made by Commissioner Eaton to recommend approval to the City Council of an
amendment to Title 20 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code Amendment No. 2006 -002 with
the addition of language, 'an advisory vote by PAC', to be included dealing with the adoption
language.
