TITLE: Whitacre Residence Appeal (PA2010 -105)
101 15th Street
ABSTRACT:
An appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of Use Permit No. UP2010 -021 and
Modification Permit No. MD2010 -027, requesting an addition to a nonconforming structure.
The Use Permit would allow for an addition of up to 75 percent of the existing gross floor
area and alterations of up to 75 percent of the existing structural elements of the
nonconforming structures. The Use Permit would not allow a demolition and rebuild of the
existing structures, only alteration of up to 75 percent of the structural elements. The
Modification Permit would allow for encroachments into the rear and side setbacks. The
site is developed with two (2) commercial structures adjacent to 15th Street and a
residential structure to the rear. The applicant proposes an addition to the existing
residence and the addition of a new dwelling unit above the commercial structures. Four -
car parking is proposed to satisfy the residential parking requirements.

DISCUSSION:
Ordinance 2010 -21, which adopted the current Zoning Code, provides that discretionary
applications deemed complete prior to the effective date of the ordinance may be
processed under the previous Zoning Code, provided they are found consistent with the
General Plan. The application was submitted and deemed complete prior to the
adoption of the current Zoning Code and is consistent with the General Plan,
Therefore, this project is being reviewed subject to regulations of the previous Zoning
Code (1997 Zoning Code), which is available online at
htti)://www.newi)ortbeachca.gov/index.asr)x?[)age=1 75.
Project Setting
The subject property is located on the Balboa Peninsula on the corner of 15th Street
and West Ocean Front and is approximately 5,000 square feet in area (50 feet wide by
100 feet deep). The subject property is surrounded on three (3) sides by public rights -of-
way and is adjacent to a mixed -use structure located to the north. The nearby
surrounding land uses are residential, commercial, places of worship, schools, beaches,
and parks.

Proiect Description
The applicant proposes an addition to the existing residence and the addition of a new
dwelling unit above the commercial structures. No intensification of the commercial
uses is proposed. The applicant requests a use permit for an addition of up to 75
percent of the existing gross floor area and alterations of up to 75 percent of the existing
structural elements of a nonconforming structure. The applicant also requests a
modification permit to allow the proposed addition to encroach five (5) feet into the
required 5 -foot side setback on the northerly side of the property in order for the
proposed residential unit on the second floor to line up with the wall of the commercial
structure on the first floor. The modification permit request is also to allow an 8 -foot
encroachment into the required 10 -foot rear setback for the carports with a deck above.
The site is developed with two (2) commercial structures adjacent to 15th Street and a
residential structure to the rear. Four -car parking is proposed to satisfy the residential
parking requirements.
The existing mixed -use development is nonconforming due to encroachments into the
required 10 -foot rear alley setback and 5 -foot side setback along the northerly property
line. The property to the north (105 15th Street) is a mixed -use structure located on a lot
that is in a residential Zoning District. However, the property owner recently received
approval of General Plan and Zoning Code amendments to allow mixed -use. If the
Coastal Commission approves the associated Coastal Land Use Plan amendment, the
5 -foot side setback requirement will no longer be applicable. The subject property is
also nonconforming because the commercial uses do not provide off - street parking.
Two (2) previous modification permits were approved for additions to the nonconforming
structure allowing encroachments into the rear alley setback. Of those, only one (1) was
constructed, which allowed encroachments into the required 10 -foot rear setback of 5
feet, 8 inches with an additional 6 inches for the roof eave. The construction also
included interior alterations that converted a duplex into a single -unit residence.
The applicant submitted structural calculations demonstrating that the structural
alterations may be as low as 8 percent (Attachment C). However, because of the age
of some of the structures on -site, dry rot, termite damage, or other issues may lead to a
higher percentage of structural alterations. Under no circumstances would approval of
this application allow more than 75 percent structural alterations or a demolition and
reconstruction of the existing structures in their entirety.
Background
On May 25, 2011, the Zoning Administrator conducted a public hearing, reviewed the
applicant's request, and received testimony from the applicant and members of the
public. The Zoning Administrator approved the application (Attachment D).
On June 8, 2011, Planning Commissioner Hawkins appealed the Zoning Administrator's
action.

On July 7, 2011, the Planning Commission reversed the decision of the Zoning
Administrator and denied the application. The Commission discussed concerns
regarding parking, structural alterations, trash, and safety. The findings were discussed
and the Commission inquired about the costs associated with the proposed construction
and with the nonconforming condition.
A motion was made to approve the application and failed to pass (3 ayes, 4 noes). A
second motion was made to deny the application and carried (5 ayes, 2 noes). The
minutes, resolution, and staff report are provided as Attachments E -G.
On July 19, 2011, Mayor Henn appealed the Planning Commission's action (Attachment
H) to allow the City Council review of the pertinent policies regarding additions and
alterations to nonconforming structures. The appeal brought up the issues regarding the
interpretation of the 1997 Zoning Code relating to percentage of remodel, the cost of
remodel in comparison to cost of new construction, and the issue of prolonging the life
of a nonconforming structure and the potential benefit from Council review in light of
improved guidance on these issues in the new Zoning Code.
Analysis
Of primary concern are the following two findings from the 1997 Zoning Code that are
required in conjunction with a use permit for structural alterations and additions to
nonconforming structures; these findings are not included in the current Zoning Code.
The findings relate to the cost of the improvements, value of the nonconforming
condition, and the cost of correcting the nonconforming condition.
The cost of improvements to be made is minor in comparison to the value of the
existing nonconforming condition.
• The cost of correcting the nonconforming condition would exceed the cost of the
other alterations proposed.
The estimated cost of the proposed project is $550,000 based on the applicant's
calculations that were verified by staff. The existing nonconforming conditions include
encroachments into the side and rear setback areas and nonconforming parking for the
commercial uses. The value of the nonconforming condition is difficult to quantify and
compare with the monetary costs of the proposed project. If the existing mixed -use
structure were to be demolished, it could not be rebuilt without discretionary approvals.
In order to bring the existing buildings into conformance with the required setbacks, it
would be necessary to remove a significant portion of the residential living area, garage,
and the retail surf shop. The estimated cost of demolishing and rebuilding the structures
to conform with the City's setback requirements is $860,000.

The proposed addition is 2,668 square feet, which is approximately 58 percent of the
existing square footage (4,591 square feet). The proposed setback encroachments are
8 feet into the 10 -foot rear setback and 5 feet into the 5 -foot side setback.
The Code comparison table below depicts the proposed project and how the project can
be implemented under the 1997 and Current Zoning Codes. The proposed project
requires approval of a use permit and modification permit under the 1997 Code. The
applicant requested to have the application reviewed under the 1997 Code because
under the current Zoning Code the proposed project would require a variance for the
addition and setback encroachments.

Alternatives
The City Council may find that the proposed project meets the legislative intent of the
1997 Zoning Code and that findings for approval can be made. Facts in support of the
required findings are included in the draft resolution reversing the Planning
Commission's decision (Attachment B).
The City Council may find that the findings for approval cannot be made, and facts in
support of this are included in the draft resolution upholding the Planning Commission's
decision (Attachment A).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Should City Council wish to approve this project, staff recommends the City Council find
this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to
Section 15301 (Class 1 — Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect
on the environment. Class 1 exempts minor alterations to existing facilities that involve
negligible expansion of the use, including the addition of a new residential unit.

WHEREAS, the City Council may approve a use permit and modification permit only
after making each of the required findings set forth in Section 20.91.035, Section 20.62.040,
and Section 20.93.030 of the 1997 Zoning Code. In this case, the City Council was unable to
make the required findings based upon the following:
1. Allowing an addition above the commercial structures and alterations of up to 75
percent of the existing structural elements prolongs the life of the nonconforming
commercial structures. The nonconforming parking for the commercial uses is
detrimental to the community and the life of the structures should not be extended to
allow for an additional dwelling unit above.
2. The proposed structure should not be constructed within a setback area and the
structure should be at least partially brought into conformance with the required
setbacks.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach does hereby
resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: Deny Use Permit No. UP2010 -021 and Modification Permit No. MD2010-

Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 20.91.035, Section 20.62.040, and Section
20.93.030 of the 1997 Zoning Code, the following findings and facts in support of such
findings are set forth:
Findinq:
A. The proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Code and
the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
Facts in Support of Finding:
A -1. The site is located in the RSC -R (Retail and Service Commercial — Residential
Overlay) District of the 1997 Zoning Code. The intent of this district to provide areas
which are predominantly retail in character but which allow some service office uses.
The intent and purpose of the Residential Overlay district is to provide for the
establishment of residential uses in commercial districts. The proposed mixed use
project is a permitted use in this district. The existing eating and drinking
establishment and retail surf shop meet the intent of the RSC district, and the existing
and proposed residential units meet the intent of the R- Overlay District.
Finding:
B. The proposed location of the use permit and the proposed conditions under which it would
be operated or maintained will be consistent with the General Plan and the purpose of the
district in which the site is located, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the
Tmplt: 04/14110 10
City Council Resolution No.
Paqe 3 of 10
neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements
in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the city.
Facts in Support of Finding:
B -1. The existing commercial structures and residential units on site are consistent with the
Mixed Use - Horizontal (MU -H4) land use designation of the General Plan, which
applies to properties where it is the intent to establish the character of a distinct and
cohesively developed district or neighborhood containing multi - family residential with
clusters of mixed -use and /or commercial buildings. Mixed -use or commercial
buildings are required on parcels at street intersections.
B -2. The neighborhood is developed with commercial, residential, and mixed use
properties. The subject property has been developed with mixed use for at least fifty
years, and the addition of one (1) residential dwelling unit will not create any significant
negative impacts.
B -3. The property abuts public rights -of -way of three sides; therefore, the addition is directly
adjacent to only one (1) other property.
B -4. The proposed addition will provide the required parking for the residential units. The
existing commercial structures are not being enlarged or intensified, so the commercial
parking demand is not being increased.
B -5. The proposed addition will conform to all other requirements of the 1997 Zoning Code,
including height and square footage limitations.
Finding:
C. The proposed use will comply with the provisions of this code, including any specific
condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be located.
Facts in Support of Finding:
C -1. The proposed mixed -use project is consistent with the legislative intent of Chapter
20.15 (Commercial Districts) and Chapter 20.52 (Residential (R) Overlay District) of
the 1997 Zoning Code. The proposed project meets the development standards of the
RSC -R district in regards to minimum site area per unit, height limit, and minimum lot
area.
C -2. The existing structures are nonconforming due a 6- foot -2 -inch encroachment into the
10 -foot rear alley setback, a 5 -foot encroachment into the 5 -foot northerly side
setback, and due to insufficient off - street parking for the commercial uses. The
proposed remodel of the existing residential unit and the addition of a unit are in
conformance with the standards of Chapter 20.62 (Nonconforming Structures and
Uses) of the 1997 Zoning Code. Section 20.62.040 (Nonconforming Structures)
Tmplt: 04/14110 17
City Council Resolution No.
Paqe 4 of 10
allows for structural alterations and additions of up to 75 percent with the approval of a
use permit.
C -3. The existing residential unit conforms with the parking requirements of the R- Overlay
District of two (2) parking spaces per unit. The proposed construction includes the
addition of two (2) parking spaces for a total of four (4) parking spaces, meeting the
residential parking requirements. No addition is proposed to the commercial structures.
Finding:
D. The cost of improvements to be made is minor in comparison to the value of the existing
nonconforming condition.
Facts in Support of Finding:
D -1. The existing mixed -use structure could not be rebuilt if it were to be demolished. In
order to bring the existing buildings into conformance with the required setbacks, the
removal of a significant portion of the residential living area and the retail surf shop
would be necessary. The nonconforming, rear setback encroachment maintains the
existing livable space within the structure. The five -foot encroachment of the retail surf
shop into the side setback allows reasonable use of the commercial tenant space. The
estimated cost of the proposed project is $550,000, which is minor in comparison to
the value of the nonconforming parking and setbacks.
D -2. Per the County Assessor's records, the total value of the property was assessed at
$1,508,322 for the 2010 calendar year.
Finding:
E. The cost of correcting the nonconforming condition would exceed the cost of the other
alterations proposed.
Facts in Support of Finding:
E -1. Correcting the nonconforming setbacks would require the removal of existing floor
area from the residential structure and retail surf shop. The proposed alterations
within the setback areas are only a minor portion of the entire project; therefore, the
cost of the overall project is greater than the cost of the alterations within the setback
areas.
E -2. Demolition and replacement of the structures could not be accomplished without
approval of a parking waiver.
E -3. Based on information from the applicant, which was reviewed by staff, the estimated
cost of demolishing the structures within the setbacks and rebuilding them would be
approximately $860,000 and the estimated cost of the proposed project is $550,000
Tmplt: 04/14110 12
City Council Resolution No.
Paqe 5 of 10
E -4. The City has no plans on file for the original construction. Based on information from
the County of Orange, the existing structures were built in the 1920s.
Finding:
F. Retention of the nonconforming condition is necessary to maintain reasonable use of the
structure.
Facts in Support of Finding:
F -1. Retention of the nonconforming parking for the commercial structures is necessary
because a mixed -use structure similar to the existing development could not be built
under current development standards. The number of parking spaces required for the
amount of commercial floor area allowed on this site is a minimum of ten (10) spaces
based on a parking ratio of one (1) parking space for every 250 square feet of gross
floor area. The minimum allowed floor area for a commercial structure on this mixed -
use property is 1,250 square feet, which would require a minimum of five (5) parking
spaces. This site does not provide adequate space for a code - compliant parking lot
with 5 -10 parking spaces, in addition to the required residential parking.
F -2. Retention of the nonconforming rear setback encroachment maintains the existing
livable space within the structure. Removing the encroachments would result in one
(1) less bedroom and reduced living area in the living room and master bedroom.
Finding:
G. The addition and alteration does not increase the structure's inconsistency with the
regulations of the Zoning Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
G -1. The proposed project includes the addition of two (2) parking spaces, satisfying the
requirements for residential parking. The commercial structures are not being
enlarged or intensified.
G -2. The proposed addition and alterations will meet all other development standards for
the RSC -R District, with the exception of the Modification Permit requests.
G -3. The proposed construction is contained generally within the footprint of the existing
structure.
Finding:
H. The granting of the application is necessary due to the practical difficulties associated with
the property and that the strict application of the Zoning Code results in physical
hardships that are inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code.
Tmplt: 04/14/10 J O)
City Council Resolution No.
Paqe 6 of 10
Facts in Support of Finding:
H -1. The northerly side yard setback requirement of five (5) feet is due to the abutting
property's Zoning designation of R -2 (Two -Unit Residential). The Zoning Code
requires a side yard setback only because the abutting property is designated for
residential use; however, the property to the north is developed with a mixed -use
structure. This property is subject to abatement of the nonconforming mixed -use, but
the property owner has applied for General Plan, Zoning Code, and Coastal Land Use
Plan amendments to change the property to allow for mixed -use. If the amendment
application is denied, then the property owner may request an extension on the
abatement. Therefore, there is a possibility that the property will remain mixed -use for
the foreseeable future.
H -2. The additional dwelling unit is being proposed within the required setback in order for
the wall to line up with the existing commercial structure on the first floor.
H -3. The existing commercial structures and residential dwelling unit constitute a practical
difficulty associated with the property as the only location available for the four -car
parking is located within the side and rear yard setbacks.
Finding:
1. The requested modification will be compatible with existing development in the
neighborhood.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1 -1. The deviation from the Zoning Code requested through this application is compatible with
the characteristics of the surrounding properties, many of which do not provide side yard
or rear yard alley setbacks, either because of differing Zoning Code requirements or
nonconforming encroachments.
1 -2. Other properties on the block contain similar mixed -use projects with commercial
structures on the first floor and residential uses above.
Finding:
J. The granting of such an application will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the property and will not be
detrimental to the general welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the
neighborhood.
Facts in Support of Finding:
J -1. The alley is approximately 25 feet wide and provides sufficient access for vehicles to
park in the garages and carports. The 25 -foot width is also adequate for circulation.
Tmplt: 04/14110 20
City Council Resolution No.
Paqe 7 of 10
J -2. The existing structures on site are built up to the northerly property line. The existing
mixed -use structure to the north is also built on the property line, and this layout has
not proven to be detrimental.
J -3. The proposed encroachment into the alley setback is for the carports and a deck
above. No new living area is proposed within the alley setback.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach does hereby

Applicant
William Azzalino, AIA
Site Address
101 15th Street
Whitacre Residence
Legal Description Lots 1 and 2, Block 15, Section B
On M ay 25, 2011, the Zoning Administrator a pproved the following: A use permit
application for an addition of up to 75 percent of the existing gross floor area and
alterations of up to 75 percent of the existing structural elements of a nonconforming
structure. The applicant also requested a modification permit to allow the proposed
addition to encroach into the required five -foot side setback on the northerly side of the
property and the required ten -foot rear setback. The site is developed with two (2)
commercial structures adjacent to 15th Street and a residential structure to the rear.
The applicant proposes an addition to the existing residence and the addition of a new
dwelling unit above the commercial structures. Four -car parking is proposed to satisfy
the residential parking requirements.
Ordinance 2010 -21, which adopted the current Zoning Code, provides that discretionary
and ministerial applications deemed complete prior to the effective date of the ordinance
may be processed under the previous Zoning Code, provided they are found consistent
with the General Plan. The application was submitted and deemed complete prior to the
adoption of the current Zoning Code. Therefore, this project is being reviewed subject
to regulations of the previous Zoning Code (1997 Zoning Code). The property is located
in the within the MU- CW15th Street Zoning District, however, the RSC -R (Retail and
Service Commercial — Residential Overlay) District regulations from the 1997 Zoning Code
apply to this project.
The Zoning Administrator determined in this case that the proposed Use Permit and
Modification Permit are consistent with the legislative intent of the 1997 Zoning Code
and is approved based on the following findings per Section 20.91.035, Section
20.62.040, and Section 20.93.030 and subject to the following conditions:

Findings
CEQA Compliance
1. The project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of
the Implementing Guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act. This
exemption allows for the minor alteration of existing buildings and the addition of a
new residential unit.
Use Permit
2. Finding: The proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of the
Zoning Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
Facts in support of finding:
• The site is located in the RSC -R (Retail and Service Commercial —
Residential Overlay) District of the 1997 Zoning Code. The intent of this
district to provide areas which are predominantly retail in character but which
allow some service office uses. The intent and purpose of the Residential
Overlay district is to provide for the establishment of residential uses in
commercial districts. The proposed mixed use project is a permitted use in
this district. The existing eating and drinking establishment and retail surf
shop meet the intent of the RSC district, and the existing and proposed
residential units meet the intent of the R- Overlay District.
3. Finding: The proposed location of the use permit and the proposed conditions
under which it would be operated or maintained will be consistent with the
General Plan and the purpose of the district in which the site is located; will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of
persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and
will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the
general welfare of the city.
Facts in support of finding:
• The existing commercial structures and residential units on site are consistent
with the Mixed Use - Horizontal (MU -H4) land use designation of the General
Plan, which applies to properties where it is the intent to establish the
character of a distinct and cohesively developed district or neighborhood
containing multi - family residential with clusters of mixed -use and /or
commercial buildings. Mixed -use or commercial buildings are required on
parcels at street intersections.

• The neighborhood is developed with commercial, residential, and mixed use
properties. The subject property has been developed with mixed use for at
least fifty years, and the addition of one (1) residential dwelling unit will not
create any significant negative impacts.
• The property abuts public rights -of -way of three sides; therefore, the addition
is directly adjacent to only one (1) other property.
• The proposed addition will provide the required parking for the residential
units. The existing commercial structures are not being enlarged or
intensified, so the parking demand is not being increased.
• The proposed addition will conform to all other requirements of the 1997
Zoning Code, including height and square footage limitations.
4. Finding: The proposed use will comply with the provisions of this code, including
any specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it
would be located.
Facts in support of finding:
• The proposed mixed -use project is consistent with the legislative intent of
Chapter 20.15 (Commercial Districts) and Chapter 20.52 (Residential (R)
Overlay District) of the 1997 Zoning Code. The proposed project meets the
development standards of the RSC -R district in regards to minimum site area
per unit, height limit, and minimum lot area.
The existing structures are nonconforming due to encroachments into the 10-
foot rear alley setback and 5 -foot northerly side setback, and due to
insufficient parking for the commercial uses. The proposed remodel of the
existing residential unit and the addition of a unit are in conformance with the
standards of Chapter 20.62 (Nonconforming Structures and Uses) of the 1997
Zoning Code. Section 20.62.040 (Nonconforming Structures) allows for
structural alterations and additions of up to 75 percent with the approval of a
use permit.
• The existing residential unit conforms with the parking requirements of the R-
Overlay District of two (2) parking spaces per unit. The proposed construction
includes the addition of two (2) parking spaces for a total of four (4) parking
spaces, meeting the residential parking requirements. No addition is proposed
to the commercial structures.
5. Finding: The cost of improvements to be made is minor in comparison to the
value of the existing nonconforming condition.
Facts in support of finding:
F: \Users\PLN \Shared\PA's \PAs - 2010\PA2010- 105\UP2010 -021 action.docx
i��„N�r: 04/14/10 33

• The cost of the addition and alterations in comparison to the value of the
existing nonconforming condition is minor because although the cost of the
remodel as proposed may be high, the existing mixed -use structure could not
be rebuilt if it were to be demolished. In order to bring the existing buildings
into conformance with the required setbacks, the removal of a significant
portion of the residential living area and the retail surf shop would be
necessary.
Per the County Assessor's records, the total value of the property was
assessed at $1,508,322 for the 2010 calendar year.
6. Finding: The cost of correcting the nonconforming condition would exceed the
cost of the other alterations proposed.
Facts in support of finding:
• Correcting the nonconforming setbacks would require the removal of existing
floor area from the residential structure and retail surf shop. The proposed
alterations within the setback areas are only a minor portion of the entire
project; therefore, the cost of the overall project is greater than the cost of the
alterations within the setback areas.
Demolition and replacement of the structures could not be accomplished
without approval of a parking waiver.
• The City has no plans on file for the original construction. Based on
information from the County of Orange, the existing structures were built in
the 1920s.
7. Finding: Retention of the nonconforming condition is necessary to maintain
reasonable use of the structure.
Facts in support of finding:
• Retention of the nonconforming parking for the commercial structures is
necessary because a mixed -use structure similar to the existing development
could not be built under current development standards. The number of
parking spaces required for the amount of commercial floor area allowed on
this site is a minimum of ten (10) spaces based on a parking ratio of one (1)
parking space for every 250 square feet of gross floor area. The minimum
allowed floor area for a commercial structure on this mixed -use property is
1,250 square feet, which would require a minimum of five (5) parking spaces.
This site does not provide adequate space for a code - compliant parking lot
with 5 -10 parking spaces, in addition to the required residential parking.

• Retention of the nonconforming rear setback encroachment maintains the
existing livable space within the structure. Removing the encroachments
would result in one (1) less bedroom and reduced living area in the living
room and master bedroom.
8. Finding: The addition and alteration does not increase the structure's
inconsistency with the regulations of the Zoning Code.
Facts in support of finding:
• The proposed project includes the addition of two (2) parking spaces,
satisfying the requirements for residential parking. The commercial structures
are not being enlarged or intensified.
• The proposed addition and alterations will meet all other development
standards for the RSC -R District, with the exception of the Modification Permit
requests.
• The proposed construction is contained generally within the footprint of the
existing structure.
Modification Permit
9. Finding: The granting of the application is necessary due to the practical
difficulties associated with the property and that the strict application of the
Zoning Code results in physical hardships that are inconsistent with the purpose
and intent of the Zoning Code.
Facts in support of finding:
• The northerly side yard setback requirement of five (5) feet is due to the
abutting property's Zoning designation of R -2 (Two -Unit Residential). The
Zoning Code requires a side yard setback only because the abutting property
is designated for residential use; however, the property to the north is
developed with a mixed -use structure. This property is subject to abatement
of the nonconforming mixed -use, but the property owner has applied for
General Plan, Zoning Code, and Coastal Land Use Plan amendments to
change the property to allow for mixed -use. If the amendment application is
denied, then the property owner may request an extension on the abatement.
Therefore, there is a possibility that the property will remain mixed -use for the
foreseeable future.
• The additional dwelling unit is being proposed within the required setback in
order for the wall to line up with the existing commercial structure on the first
floor.

Whitacre Residence
May 25, 2011
Page 6
• The existing commercial structures and residential dwelling unit constitute a
practical difficulty associated with the property as the only location available
for the four -car parking is located within the side and rear yard setbacks.
10. Finding: The requested modification will be compatible with existing development
in the neighborhood.
Facts in support of finding:
• The deviation from the Zoning Code requested through this application is
compatible with the characteristics of the surrounding properties, many of which
do not provide side yard or rear yard alley setbacks, either because of differing
Zoning Code requirements or nonconforming encroachments.
• Other properties on the block contain similar mixed -use projects with
commercial structures on the first floor and residential uses above.
11. Finding: The granting of such an application will not adversely affect the health or
safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the property and will
not be detrimental to the general welfare or injurious to property or improvements
in the neighborhood.
Facts in support of finding:
The alley is approximately 25 feet wide and provides sufficient access for
vehicles to park in the garages and carports. The 25 -foot width is also
adequate for circulation.
• The existing structures on site are built up to the northerly property line. The
existing mixed -use structure to the north is also built on the property line, and
this layout has not proven to be detrimental.
• The proposed encroachment into the alley setback is for the carports and a
deck above. No new living area is proposed within the alley setback.
Conditions
1. The development shall be in substantial conformance with the approved plot
plan, floor plans, and elevations, except as noted in the following conditions.
2. The guard rail for the deck adjacent to the alley shall be constructed with wrought
iron, glass, or similar open or translucent material.
3. All signs shall conform to the provisions of Chapter 20.67 of the Municipal Code or
any applicable comprehensive sign program that is in force for the subject property.

7. Anything not specifically approved by this Use Permit and Modification Permit is
prohibited and must be addressed in a separate and subsequent review.
8. This approval was based on the particulars of the individual case and does not,
in and of itself or in combination with other approvals in the vicinity or Citywide,
constitute a precedent for future approvals or decisions.
9. A building permit shall be obtained prior to commencement of the construction.

ITEM NO. 3 Whitacre Residence Appeal - (PA2010 -105)
101 15th Street
The applicant requests a use permit for an addition of up to 75 percent of the existing gross floor
area and alterations of up to 75 percent of the existing structural elements of a nonconforming
structure. The applicant also requests a modification permit to allow the proposed addition to
encroach five (5) feet into the required 5 -foot side setback on the northerly side of the property in
order for the proposed residential unit on the second floor to line up with the wall of the commercial
structure on the first floor. The modification permit request is also to allow an 8 -foot encroachment
into the required 10 -foot rear setback for the carports with a deck above. The site is developed with
two (2) commercial structures adjacent to 15th Street and a residential structure to the rear. The
applicant proposes an addition to the existing residence and the addition of a new dwelling unit
above the commercial structures. Four -car parking is proposed to satisfy the residential parking
requirements. Although the Zoning Administrator granted the use permit and modification, this
decision was timely appealed to the Planning Commission.
Assistant Planner Fern Nueno provided a staff report and utilized a PowerPoint presentation.
Community Development Director Kim Brandt noted that this is a De Novo hearing and that all the
evidence can be considered.
In response to a question from Commission Hawkins, Assistant City Attorney Mulvihill clarified that
Commissioner Hawkins is vote on this item even though he submitted an appeal letter on the Zoning
Administrator's decision and requested review of the application, noting that the code allows for the
Planning Commission to call items up for review with no requirement of recusals.

NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES 07/07/2011
Chair Unsworth spoke regarding the previous Zoning Code and parking issues relative to the
commercial site and the totality of the project.
In response to Chair Unsworth's comments, Ms. Nueno referenced the "Nonresidential Parking"
section in the code and clarified that parking for the residential addition is being provided (four car
parking with two per unit) and that the Code does not require that the commercial parking be
provided because there is no enlargement or intensification of the commercial use proposed
because the applicant is only expanding the existing residential and proposing a new unit.
Commissioner Hawkins referenced Point No. 6 under Appeal Letter on page seven (7) of the staff
report, mentioned that "demolitions' are not a defined term in the code however "alterations' and
"structural alterations" are defined terms in the code, stated that his concern is regarding the
demolition of majority of the commercial and then reconstruction of that noting that under the code's
language it can be regarded as an alteration and mentioned that he feels the project is at 75 percent
alteration, spoke regarding the findings in the resolution in comparison to the finding of the Zoning
Administrator resolution, referenced handwritten page 16 New Finding: E which states that the cost
of correcting the nonconforming condition would exceed the cost of the proposed project, New
Information E3 that the Zoning Administrator did not have noting that the Zoning Administrator did
not base his determination on the new information, stated that the new findings put a dollar number
to the costs, mentioned that there was a missing part in connection with the Zoning Administrator's
determination based on the new information and spoke regarding whether the Zoning Administrator
made the appropriate findings in connection with the nonconformity of the use.
Assistant Planner Nueno clarified that historically the City has not considered demolishing entire
walls and then rebuilding them as just a structural alteration, noted that demolishing three (3) out of
four (4) walls would not be considered a structural alteration from the City's point of view, stated that
the 75 percent rule allows for alterations to structural elements, that typically the City has done
surface area calculations including roofs, foundations, and exterior walls and not necessarily each
structural member within the wall, noted that the plans provided in the packet are essentially the
same plans from the Zoning Administrator with the addition of the structural calculations since the
appeal, noted that Fact in Support of Finding E3 was not included in the Action Letter findings, that
the facts stated in the Action Letter were the basis for the approval and noted that there are just a
few changes to the resolution based on the new information.
Community Development Director Brandt clarified for the record that there is new information in the
Planning Commission Resolution that is different from the Zoning Administrator's Action Letter and
asked Assistant Planner Nueno to point out what additional and supporting findings have been
included in the Planning Commission Resolution.
Chair Unsworth stated that he is concerned about putting a brand new structure on top of a
commercial building and potentially exceeding the 75 percent rule and inquired as to how Staff
determined that $550,000 (the estimated cost of the proposed project) is minor in comparison to the
value of the nonconforming parking and setbacks.
Ms. Nueno noted the cost of the proposed project is compared to value of the nonconformity, not the
cost of the nonconformity. Ms. Nueno further stated that the value of the nonconformity is not
necessarily a monetary value, but rather the value of the existing, nonconforming condition. A
development comparable to what is existing would not be able to be constructed under the current
code, so the value of the existing nonconformity is value of having a mixed -use development on site
compared with the cost of the proposed construction.

NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES 07/07/2011
Commissioner Hawkins stated that one of the grounds for appeal was that the approval is
inconsistent with use permits in the area and inquired as to whether it is an appropriate grounds for
an appeal.
Assistant Planner Nueno clarified that D1 and E3 were the only changes to the findings from the
Action Letter to the Planning Commission Resolution.
Chair Unsworth called for Ex Parte Communication reports from the Commission.
Commissioner Hawkins reported that he spoke with Mr. Todd Schooler, an agent of one of the
adjacent property owners who appeared at the hearing, noted that Mr. Schooler did not participate in
the drafting of the appeal or call for review, and mentioned that he visited the site.
Commissioner Toerge reported that he visited the site.
Commissioner Myers reported that he visited the site.
Chair Unsworth opened the public hearing period.
Joe Angelo, applicant, stated that he believes the structures were built around 1945, that he does
not intend to invade the majority of the commercial structure, commented regarding his neighbor's
mixed -use property and stated that he read and is in agreement with all of the conditions.
William Azzalino, architect for the Whitacre Residence, spoke about the structure on the property,
stated that the intention is to leave the existing walls complete, that the only new addition to the
existing buildings would be the addition of two (2) new columns on either side for support, mentioned
the carports, parking for the commercial, 75 percent rule, stucco upgrades, residential
redevelopment and stated that he does not think there would be any problem with a condition that
distributes the 75 percent alteration to the entirety of the structures but suggested that the condition
state that there will be no more than 75 percent alteration to the commercial structures at all.
Chair Unsworth invited comments from the public.
Todd Schooler, architect representing Morrie Nero, asked why a use permit is required if the
applicant only intents to demolish or alter 8 -25 percent, suggested that the applicant be required to
submit a demo plan, expressed his concerns regarding the cost of the proposed project, spoke
regarding trash storage and suggested that the revised conditions of approval regarding the trash
storage state that any trash enclosures belonging to the commercial site be located on their
property.
Morrie Nero, property owner adjacent to the applicant, expressed his concerns regarding the parking
requirements for the applicants' commercial establishment, the cost of the proposed project,
requested removal of the trash storage from off the street, mentioned a potential handicapped
parking space once the trash storage is removed, spoke regarding trenching along the Surf Shop
property, stated that the Surf Shop wall is not adequate enough to support a second story and
mentioned potential earthquake damage.
Maret Kunze, tenant of the adjacent property, expressed her concerns regarding high- density
parking and requested that the construction be completed in a timely manner so it does not interrupt
her business.
In response to comments and concerns, Mr. Angelo spoke regarding the trash storage, noted that he
ordered a smaller trash storage and plans to move it from its current location, estimated that the
Page 6 of 15
45
NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES 07/07/2011
commercial space will be down for approximately 30 days and stated that his goal is to rapidly
complete the exterior and complete the project as fast as he can.
Chair Unsworth closed the public hearing.
Chair Unsworth re- opened the public comment period to allow the architect to elaborate on
construction time.
Mr. Azzalino stated that a demolition plan has already been provided to the City and stated that an
estimate of 12 months is a reasonable time frame for the anticipated completion of the project.
Chair Unsworth closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Ameri spoke regarding the integrity of the existing structure, public safety issues, and
a thorough review of the Traffic Engineer's report and stated that he is uncomfortable approving the
project without a thorough review of the structural plans.
In response to questions from the Commission, Community Development Director Brandt clarified
that Building and Planning will work together during the plan check review process to ensure that if
the Planning Commission decides to approve this project, the proposed improvements will comply
with all the applicable building codes and Zoning Code approval and noted that the approved permit
for any demolition, structural alterations and new construction will comply with any zoning
entitlement obtained for the project. She stated that if during construction, the structure is altered in a
manner that is not consistent with the approval or require modifications to the permit, the City will
issue a Stop Work Order (Red Tag) until the issues can be resolved.
Commissioner Kramer made a motion to uphold the decision of the Zoning Administrator and adopt
the resolution with the Use Permit and Modification Permit.
Commissioner Hawkins seconded this motion for the purposes of discussion and noted the following
additional amendments: make an additional finding that the structure is a nonconforming structure
and base those findings on the appropriate language; the resolution also affirm the appeal in that
there are several issues including the new facts that have been added; add a condition that states
that the 75 percent alteration cannot be located in the existing nonconforming structures and note
that the applicant accepts this condition.
Commissioner Hillgren expressed his concern regarding Item No. 10 under the conditions of
approval and recommended that it be moved or tied to Item No. 31. The maker and the second of
the motion accepted this recommendation.
In response to a clarification request from Mr. Ramirez regarding the added condition for 75 percent
structural alterations, Commissioner Hawkins requested that the public comment period be re-
opened to allow the architect to restate his more restrictive condition.
Chair Unsworth re- opened the public comment period.
Mr. Azzalino suggested that the condition state that the majority of all commercial walls shall remain
intact meaning at least 50 percent of every wall has to remain intact and noted that there will be
more specifics and information in the plans that he will submit to the Building Division.
Chair Unsworth closed the public hearing
Page 7 of 15

NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES 07/07/2011
Community Development Director Brandt spoke regarding the limitations of alterations, referenced
handwritten page 20 of the staff report and suggested Condition No. 4 read that "the alterations to all
commercial structures on the property shall not exceed more than 50 percent of any structural
exterior wall or roof noting that this condition is limited to the exterior as proposed.
Commissioner Hawkins recommended that the amendment to Condition No. 4 state that "the
alterations to all commercial structures on the property shall not exceed more than 30 percent of any
structural exterior wall or roof' instead of 50 percent as proposed by Community Development
Director Brandt. He stated that if his recommendation of a 30 percent limit to the amended Condition
No. 4 is not acceptable to the maker of the motion then he would not support the motion.
Commissioner Kramer stated that the amendment was acceptable.
Commissioner Toerge expressed his concerns regarding the effectiveness of the estimate on
construction costs, asked how or if staffs recommendation would change if the construction costs
were to double, how much support staff has done to confirm the estimated numbers, inquired as to
how the construction costs were estimated without detail plans, structural plans and structural
calculations, stated that the numbers do not make sense, that there is a lack of hard evidence and
stated that he does not believe that the applicant can build with the numbers he has proposed.
Assistant Planner Nueno stated that if construction costs were to double the only finding it would
change is Fact in Support of Finding E3 which states that "the cost of correcting the nonconforming
condition would exceed the cost of the other alterations proposed ", mentioned that projected costs
were provided by the applicant and reviewed by staff based on the valuation of projected which can
be verified by the permit system and that the numbers are based on square footage and occupancy.
Motion made by Commissioner Kramer and seconded by Commissioner Hawkins, and failed (3 — 4) to

FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by William Azzalino, with respect to property located at 101 15"
Street, and legally described as Lots 1 and 2, Block 15, Section B, requesting approval of
a use permit and modification permit.
2. The applicant proposes an addition to a nonconforming, mixed -use structure. The Use
Permit would allow an addition of up to 75 percent of the existing square footage and
up to 75 percent structural alterations to the existing structures. The Modification
Permit would allow the proposed addition to encroach five (5) feet into the required
five -foot side setback on the northerly side of the property and eight (8) feet into the
required ten -foot rear alley setback.
3. The subject property is located within the Mixed -Use Cannery Village /15th S t (MU-
CV /15th St) Zoning District; however, the Retail and Service Commercial — Residential

Paqe 2 of 2
Allowing an addition above the commercial structures and alterations of up to 75

dwelling unit above the commercial structures. Four -car parking is proposed to satisfy
the residential parking requirements.
The existing mixed -use development is nonconforming due to encroachments into the
required 10 -foot rear alley setback and 5 -foot side setback along the northerly property
line. The property is also nonconforming because the commercial uses do not provide
off - street parking. Two (2) previous modification permits were approved for additions to
the nonconforming structure allowing encroachments into the rear alley setback. Of
those, only one (1) was constructed, which allowed encroachments into the required 10-
foot rear setback of 5 feet, 8 inches with an additional 6 inches for the roof eave. The
construction also included interior alterations that converted a duplex into a single -unit
residence.
Pursuant to Chapter 20.62 (Nonconforming Structures and Uses) of the 1997 Zoning
Code, an increase of up to 75 percent of the gross floor area and alteration of up to 75
percent of the structural elements are permitted with the approval of a use permit. The
proposed project is an addition to the existing residential structure and the addition of a
new residential unit. No intensification of the commercial uses is proposed. Since the
appeal, the applicant has submitted structural calculations demonstrating that the
structural alterations may be as low as 25 percent (Attachment No. PC 3). However,
because of the age of some of the structures on -site, dry rot, termite damage, or other
issues may lead to a higher percentage of structural alterations. Under no
151
Whitacre Residence Appeal
July 7, 2011
Page 4
circumstances could this approval allow more than 75 percent structural alterations or a
demolition and reconstruction of the existing structures in their entirety.
Background
On May 25, 2011, the Zoning Administrator conducted a public hearing, reviewed the
applicant's request, and received testimony from the applicant and members of the
public. The Zoning Administrator approved the application. A copy of the Action Letter
is attached (Attachment No. PC 4). Staff recommended approval of the project to the
Zoning Administrator based on the circumstances of the project and the facts in support
of the required findings.
Prior to the Zoning Administrator hearing, three (3) comment letters (Attachment No. PC
5) were received via email that expressed concerns about the project, including trash
and parking. Staff also described the project to members of the public in person and
over the telephone. During the hearing, members of the public expressed concerns
regarding allowing up to 75 percent structural alterations and the lack of parking for the
commercial portion of the development.
The Zoning Administrator determined that there were facts in support of the required
findings and approved the project. As part of the approval, a condition was included
requiring the trash to be located on site and screened from view.
On June 8, 2011, Planning Commissioner Hawkins appealed the Zoning Administrator's
action.
DISCUSSION
Ordinance 2010 -21, which adopted the current Zoning Code, provides that discretionary
applications deemed complete prior to the effective date of the ordinance may be
processed under the previous Zoning Code, provided they are found consistent with the
General Plan. The application was submitted and deemed complete prior to the
adoption of the current Zoning Code. Therefore, this project is being reviewed subject
to regulations of the previous Zoning Code (1997 Zoning Code).
Analysis
Required Findings
Section 20.91.035, Section 20.62.040, and Section 20.93.030 of the 1997 Zoning Code
require certain findings to be made in order to approve the project. In order to grant
approval of the Use Permit and Modification Permit, the Planning Commission must
make each of the following findings:
00
Whitacre Residence Appeal
July 7, 2011
Page 5
Use Permit
1. The proposed location of the use is in accord with the objectives of the Zoning
Code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
2. The proposed location of the use permit and the proposed conditions under which
it would be operated or maintained will be consistent with the General Plan and
the purpose of the district in which the site is located; will not be detrimental to
the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or welfare of persons residing
or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use; and will not be
detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general
welfare of the city.
3. The proposed use will comply with the provisions of this code, including any
specific condition required for the proposed use in the district in which it would be
located.
4. The cost of improvements to be made is minor in comparison to the value of the
existing nonconforming condition.
5. The cost of correcting the nonconforming condition would exceed the cost of the
other alterations proposed.
6. Retention of the nonconforming condition is necessary to maintain reasonable
use of the structure.
7. The addition and alteration does not increase the structure's inconsistency with
the regulations of the Zoning Code.
Modification Permit
8. The granting of the application is necessary due to the practical difficulties
associated with the property and that the strict application of the Zoning Code
results in physical hardships that are inconsistent with the purpose and intent of
the Zoning Code.
9. The requested modification will be compatible with existing development in the
neighborhood.
10. The granting of such an application will not adversely affect the health or safety
of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the property and will not be
detrimental to the general welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the
neighborhood.
01
Whitacre Residence Appeal

The Zoning Administrator believed that the proposed project meets the legislative intent
of the 1997 Zoning Code and that findings for approval could be made, and facts in
support of the required findings are included in the draft resolution upholding the Zoning
Administrator's decision (Attachment No. PC 1).
Appeal Letter
The letter of appeal (Attachment No. PC 6) listed seven (7) points regarding why the
decision was appealed. The appeal letter primarily addressed facts in support of fthe
required indings for the Use Permit regarding the alteration of up to 75 percent of the
structural elements. The numbered points below correspond to the seven (7) points
made in Commissioner Hawkins' letter.
1. Use permits are reviewed on a case -by -case basis. Several use permits for a
variety of developments and uses have been approved in the vicinity of the
proposed project, including use permits for a mixed -use structure with tandem
parking, a church, and alterations and additions to nonconforming structures.
2. Section 20.62.030.A states that the "Planning Director shall determine the
nonconformity of any use, building, structure, or lot." The project description
included in the Zoning Administrator Action Letter and public notice indicate that
the proposed project is a request to allow an addition to a nonconforming
structure. The existing structures are nonconforming due to deficient commercial
parking and setback encroachments into the rear and northerly side setback
areas.
3. The Zoning Administrator determined that the facts presented in the action letter
supported making the health, safety, and welfare finding. The required four -car
parking for the residential uses is proposed with the project and an enlargement
or intensification of the commercial uses is not proposed. Therefore, a request
for a parking waiver is not required or requested.
4. The cost of the proposed project is minor in comparison to the value of the
nonconforming condition. The existing development could not be built under
current development standards. The nonconforming, rear setback encroachment
maintains the existing livable space within the structure. The five -foot
encroachment of the retail surf shop into the side setback allows reasonable use
of the commercial tenant space. The estimated cost of the proposed project is
$550,000, which is minor in comparison to the value of the nonconforming
parking and setbacks.
5. The cost of correcting the nonconforming condition would exceed the cost of the
proposed project. Correcting the nonconforming setbacks would require the
removal of existing floor area from the residential structure and retail surf shop,
and would likely require demolition and reconstruction of the entire structures.
02
Whitacre Residence Appeal
July 7, 2011
Page 7
The proposed alterations within the setback areas are only a minor portion of the
entire project. Based on information from the applicant, which was reviewed by
staff, the estimated cost of demolishing the structures within the setbacks and
rebuilding them would be approximately $860,000 and the estimated cost of the
proposed project is $550,000.
6. Approval of the Use Permit for 75 percent structural alterations would not allow a
demolition and reconstruction of the existing structure as only alterations are
permitted.
7. The 1997 Zoning Code remains available at City Hall and is available online at
http:// www .newportbeachca.gov /index.aspx ?page =175.
The link to the 1997 Zoning Code on the website was removed because only a
few projects remained under the 1997 Zoning Code. Additionally, even though
the website noted that the 1997 Zoning Code had been superseded and was
only being used for the projects that met the submittal deadline, having the link
posted on the website created confusion for the public. The City wanted to avoid
any potential misuse of the 1997 Zoning Code during project design; therefore,
staff made the determination that it was best to remove the link from the website.
The project title is "Whitacre Residence" even though this is a mixed -use
property because the addition is to the existing residence and the addition of a
second dwelling unit. This title was not intended to be misleading and the project
description describes the mixed -use development on -site.
Alternatives
1. Should the Planning Commission find there are facts to support the findings
required to grant approval of the Use Permit and Modification Permit, as
proposed or as modified, the Planning Commission should adopt Resolution No.
_ (Attachment No. PC 1), upholding the decision of the Zoning Administrator,
and approving Use Permit No. UP2011 -021 and Modification Permit No.
MD2010 -027.
2. Should the Planning Commission find the facts do not support the findings
required to grant approval of the Use Permit and Modification Permit, the
Planning Commission should adopt Resolution No. _ (Attachment No. PC 2),
reversing the decision of the Zoning Administrator, and denying Use Permit No.
UP2011 -021 and Modification Permit No. MD2010 -027.
Environmental Review
If upheld and approved, then this project is exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Section
15301 (Class 1 — Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of
O3
Whitacre Residence Appeal
July 7, 2011
Page 8
Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, which exempts minor alterations to existing facilities that
involve negligible expansion of the use, including the addition of a new residential unit.
If reversed and denied, then the project is not subject to the California Environmental
Quality Act ( "CEQA ") review, pursuant to Section 15270 of the CEQA Guidelines.
Public Notice
Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all property owners
within 300 feet of the property (excluding intervening rights -of -way), and posted at the
project site a minimum of 10 days in advance of this meeting consistent with the
Municipal Code. Additionally, the item appeared on the agenda for this meeting, which
was posted at City Hall and on the City website.

Subject: FW: 101 15th St Appeal
Hi Leilani:
I wish to appeal the Planning Commission's recent decision to reverse the Zoning Administrator's
decision for 101 15th Street. The key vote was 4 to 3, and there were issues regarding the
interpretation of the old zoning code relating to percentage of remodel, the cost of remodel in
comparison to cost of new construction, and the issue of prolonging the life of a non - conforming
structure that may benefit from Council review in light of improved guidance on these issues in the
new zoning code.
