storage of vehicle inventory associated with Fletcher Jones Motorcars, which was
previously approved for a limited duration.

FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
DISCUSSION:
The subject property is bounded by North Bristol Street to the south, Spruce Street to
the west, and Quail Street to the north. Office uses are located to the north, south, and
west along Bristol Street, Spruce Street, and Quail Street and a retail shopping center is
located to the east of the subject property along North Bristol Street. The property is L-
shaped and 161,172 square feet (approximately 3.7 acres) in area. Since 2004, the site
has been used for outdoor storage of vehicle inventory associated with Fletcher Jones
Motorcars and is developed with a surface parking area for up to 519 vehicles and a
200 - square -foot guardhouse for security purposes. Two parking spaces are available
onsite for security personnel and employees. Vehicle inventory is stored onsite, then
moved for sale at the primary dealership, located at 3300 Jamboree Road. Customers
are not permitted onsite and vehicle repair does not occur at this location. The daily
hours of operation are limited to the hours of 5:00 a.m. through 10:00 p.m. daily.
The applicant requests a planned development amendment to the Newport Place
Planned Community to continue use of the site as a vehicle storage facility as a
conditionally permitted use. In conjunction with this approval, a conditional use permit is
requested to allow vehicle storage on Hotel Site 2B of PC -11 (Newport Place Planned
Community). The proposed changes to the planned community can be found on pages
34 and 53 of the redlined draft PC -11 (Newport Place Planned Community) text (Exhibit
"A" to Attachment No. CC 1).
The modification permit is requested to allow minor deviations from the landscape
development standards. The PC -11 Zoning District requires trees in the surface parking
area for every five parking stalls. These trees are not provided or proposed within the
existing vehicle storage area. The vehicle storage area is screened from the adjacent
right -of -way by landscaping and a chain link fence with solid covering.
In addition, one tree per 25 feet of lineal feet is required along all interior property lines.
Under the landscape development standards, a total of 23 trees are required along the
east interior property line. The landscaping area provided on the subject property is not
wide enough to accommodate any of the required trees. However, trees and additional
landscaping are provided on the adjacent property.
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on August 18, 2011. No members of
the public other than the project applicant commented on the proposed project.

The Planning Commission found the use consistent with the General Plan and that the
findings for approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Modification Permit could be
made. The motion to approve the project as recommended by staff was approved (7
ayes and 0 noes). The staff report, resolution, and draft minutes from the Planning
Commission meeting have been attached for reference as Attachment Nos. CC 4, 5,
and 6.
Alternatives
Should the City Council choose not to approve the planned development amendment,
conditional use permit, and modification permit applications, Council should adopt the
draft resolution for denial, provided as Attachment No. CC 3, and provide facts for
denial. City Council may also revise any conditions of approval in conjunction with
approving the project.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Planning Commission recommends the City Council find this project exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Section 15301 (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.
If denied, projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves are not subject to the
California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") review, pursuant to Section 15270 of the
CEQA Guidelines.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item). Notice of this hearing was
published in the Daily Pilot, 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.

WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on October 11, 2011, in the City Hall Council
Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place

WHEREAS, amendments to the Planned Community Development Plan are
legislative acts. Neither the City nor State Planning Law set forth any required findings
for either approval or denial of such amendments.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA
determinations and approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In
addition, project opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges.
As project applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate
that such applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial
challenge, and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which
may be awarded to a successful challenger.
Therefore, to the fullest extent permitted by law, applicant and property owner shall
defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the City, its City Council, its boards and
commissions, officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all
claims, demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses,
judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including without limitation,
attorney's fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever
which may arise from or in any manner relate (directly or indirectly) to the project, the
project's approval based on the City's CEQA determination and /or the City's failure to
comply with the requirements of any federal, state, or local laws, including, but not
limited to, CEQA, General Plan and zoning requirements. This indemnification shall
include, but not be limited to, damages awarded against the City, if any, costs of suit,
attorneys' fees, and other expenses incurred in connection with such claim, action, or
proceeding whether incurred by applicant, City, and /or the parties initiating or bringing
such proceeding.

AS FOLLOWS:

relation to the Orange County Airport. Attached drawings indicate land use, grading and
roads, storm drains, water and sewer, topography and traffic analysis.
2. Water within the Planned Community area will be furnished by the City of Newport
Beach.
3. Sewerage Disposal facilities within the Planned Community area are by the City of
Newport Beach.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING USE PERMIT NO. UP2011 -024
AND MODIFICATION PERMIT NO. MD2011 -012 FOR A VEHICLE
STORAGE FACILITY LOCATED AT 1301 QUAIL STREET
(PA2011 -076)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by Fletcher Jones Motorcars, with respect to property located at
1301 Quail Street, and legally described as Parcel 1 of Resubdivision No. 364 as
recorded in Book 49 Page 18 of parcel maps, County of Orange, California, requesting
approval of a planned development amendment, use permit, and modification permit.
2. The applicant requests approval of a planned development amendment to the Newport
Place Planned Community to allow vehicle storage as a conditionally permitted use,
conditional use permit to allow vehicle storage on Hotel Site 2B of PC -11 (Newport
Place Planned Community), and a modification permit to allow minor deviations to the
landscape development standards. The site does not comply with the landscape
development standards, which require one tree to be planted for every five parking
spaces within all parking areas and one tree for every 25 linear feet along interior
property lines. The site is currently utilized for outdoor storage of vehicle inventory
associated with Fletcher Jones Motorcars, which was previously approved for a limited
duration.
3. The subject property is located within the Hotel Site 2 -8 Sub -Area of the PC -11 (Newport
Place Planned Community) Zoning District and the General Plan Land Use Element
category is MU -H2 (Mixed -Use Horizontal).
4. The subject property is not located within the coastal zone.
5. A public hearing was held on August 18, 2011, 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 Newport Beach Municipal Code.
Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning
Commission at this meeting.
6. At the August 18, 2011 hearing, the Planning Commission received public comments
and voted (7 ayes and 0 noes) to recommend approval of the Planned Development
Amendment, Conditional Use Permit, and Modification Permit.
7. A public hearing was held on September 27, 2011, in the City Hall Council Chambers,
3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. Evidence, both written and oral,
was presented to, and considered by, the City Council at this meeting. The item was
continued to the October 11, 2011 City Council Meeting.

8. A public hearing was held on October 11, 2011, 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 Newport Beach Municipal Code.
Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the City Council
at this meeting.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1 (Existing Facilities).
2. The Class 1 exemption includes the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting,
leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities,
mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion
of use. The proposed project involves the entitlement of an existing vehicle storage
facility. No expansion of the existing use is proposed. Therefore, the use qualifies for a
categorical exemption under Class 1.
3. The City Council finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA determinations and
approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In addition, project
opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges. As project
applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate that such
applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial challenge,
and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which may be
awarded to a successful challenger.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
Use Permit
In accordance with Section 20.52.020.F (Use Permit, Required Findings) of the Newport
Beach Municipal Code, the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set
forth:
Findinq:
A. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of Finding:
A -1. The site is designated MU -H2 (Mixed -Use Horizontal) by the General Plan Land Use
Element. This designation allows for horizontal and vertical mixed -use development
including regional commercial office, multi - family residential, industrial, hotel rooms, and
ancillary neighborhood commercial uses. The proposed vehicle storage facility is
consistent with these land use designations.
Tmpll: 03/08/11
20
City Council Resolution No. _
Pace 3 of 12
A -2. The proposed application will allow the existing vehicle storage use to remain and will not
result in a change to the existing floor area or hotel room entitlements. Anomaly No. 17 of
the Land Use Element of the General Plan limits the subject property to the development
of 33,292 square feet of gross floor area and 304 hotel rooms.
A -3. The planned development amendment complies with relevant General Plan policies, the
new use is compatible with surrounding land uses, and the addition of vehicle storage as
a conditionally permitted use at this site within the Newport Place Planned Community is
consistent with other land use standards within the planned community.
A -4. The subject property is not part of a specific plan area.
Finding:
B. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other
applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and the Municipal Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
B -1. The subject property is within the Hotel Site 2 -B sub -area of the PC -11 (Newport Place
Planned Community) zoning district. The purpose of the support commercial
designations within Newport Place are to allow a variety of retail sales and services of a
convenience nature, service uses for building tenants and patrons, and restaurants. The
existing vehicle storage facility is retail in nature. It is anticipated that the use will have
limited parking demand based on the characteristics of the vehicle storage use. The use
is adequately screened from the surrounding properties and will be consistent with the
Development Plan for Newport Place upon the adoption of the Planned Development
Amendment.
B -2. The vehicle storage facility is an existing use that was originally permitted for a limited
duration in 2003 under Use Permit No. UP2003 -037 (PA2003 -222) and subsequent
Use Permit No. UP2007 -001 (PA2007 -022). The proposed project allows the vehicle
storage facility to continue as a permanent use. The establishment has proven to be
compatible with surrounding land uses including the nearby office buildings and retail
shopping center.
Finding:
C. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are compatible with
the allowed uses in the vicinity.
Facts in Support of Finding:
C -1. The daily hours of operation are limited to the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
C -2. One parking space per 250 square feet of gross floor area is required for the subject
property and there is no off -site parking related to the vehicle storage use. A guardhouse
Tmpll: 03/08/11
City Council Resolution No. _
Paae 4 of 12
is utilized for security purposes only. Two on -site parking spaces for employees are
adequate since the general public and customers are prohibited from accessing the
project site. All employees are required to park on -site.
C -3. The project includes conditions of approval to ensure that potential conflicts are
minimized to the greatest extent possible. No vehicle repair or service activities are
permitted on -site. No outdoor paging system is in existence or is permitted on -site. No
signs or identification exist on -site. All loading and unloading of vehicle transports are
conducted on -site.
C -4. The subject property is currently developed to accommodate approximately 519
vehicles, which are screened from the adjacent rights -of -way along Quail Street,
Spruce Street, and Bristol Street. Fencing consists of chain link with solid slats and is
fully screened with green landscape. The fence does not exceed eight feet in height.
C -5. The facility's location, among existing office and retail development, is appropriate
given the use is relatively quiet and is adequately screened from the adjacent right -of-
way. The vehicle storage facility is not located near residential uses and the use is
characterized by operations which would not result in negative impacts to adjacent
properties as a result of noise, odor, or aesthetics.
Finding:
D. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating
characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and
medical) access and public services and utilities.
Facts in Support of Finding:
D -1. Adequate public and emergency vehicle access, public services, and utilities are
provided to the subject property. Per Fire Department requirements, a fire apparatus
roadway, minimum 20 -feet in width, will be maintained.
D -2. The project will comply with all Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes. All ordinances
of the City and all conditions of approval will be complied with.
Finding:
E. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the
harmonious and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise
constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general
welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
Tmpll: 03/08/11
22
City Council Resolution No. _
Page 5 of 12
Facts in Support of Finding:
E -1., The project has been reviewed and includes conditions of approval to ensure that
potential conflicts with the surrounding land uses are minimized to the greatest extent
possible.
E -2. All requirements of the Drainage Area Management Plan within the Orange County
NPDES Storm Water Program have been met and are being maintained.
E -3. The site has been utilized for vehicle storage inventory since 2003 and has not proven
detrimental to the surrounding community.
Modification Permit
In accordance with Section 20.52.050 (Modification Permits), the City Council must also
make the following findings for approval of a modification permit:
Finding:
F. The requested modification will be compatible with existing development in the
neighborhood.
Facts in Support of Finding:
F -1. The existing landscaping provided at the project site is compatible with the
surrounding office and retail development. Existing ground cover, shrubs, and trees
are provided to soften the aesthetics of the vehicle storage facility and seamlessly
connect the property boundaries with adjacent development.
F -2. The facility's location, among existing office and retail development, is appropriate
given the use is relatively quiet and is adequately screened from the adjacent right -of-
way. The vehicle storage facility was previously established as a temporary use. The
facility has been compatible with existing development over the past eight years since
it was developed.
F -3. 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.
Finding:
G. The granting of the modification is necessary due to the unique physical
characteristics) of the property and /or structure, and /or characteristics of the use.
Facts in Support of Finding:
Tmpll: 03/08/11
29
City Council Resolution No. _
Page 6 of 12
G -1. The vehicle storage facility is not a parking area that serves a commercial use or is
accessible to the general public. The site and vehicles are fully screened from the
adjacent streets and properties by fences and landscaping.
G -2. One tree per 25 lineal feet of the interior east property line is not provided because the
landscape area provided is too narrow to plant trees on the subject property and trees
and landscaping are provided on the adjacent property. The existing deviations to the
landscape development standards would remain.
Finding:
H. The granting of the modification is necessary due to 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 Findinq:
H -1. Sufficient landscaping consisting of ground cover, shrubs; and trees is already
provided on the subject property and sufficient screening is provided to conceal the
vehicles stored on -site from adjacent public- rights -of -way and adjacent properties.
Finding:
There are no alternatives to the Modification Permit that could provide similar benefits
to the applicant with less potential detriment to surrounding owners and occupants, the
neighborhood, or to the general public.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1 -1. The provision of the required trees per the landscape development standards of PC -11
(Newport Place Planned Community) would result in a reduction in the number of
vehicles that could be stored at the subject property and would also reduce the width
of the drive aisles.
1 -2. The project is comprised of a surface parking lot with a small 200- square -foot security
building. The vehicle storage facility is existing and has not proven to be a detriment to
surrounding owners, occupants, the neighborhood, or the general public. Minor
deviations from the landscape development standards would eliminate the need for
future construction and allow the use to continue.
Finding:
J. The granting of the modification would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or
welfare to the occupants of the property, nearby properties, the neighborhood, or the
City, or result in a change in density or intensity that would be inconsistent with the
provisions of this Zoning Code.
Tmplt: 03108/11

City Council Resolution No. _
Page 7 of 12
Facts in Support of Finding:
J -1. The deviation from the landscape development standards will not result in any
detriment to public health, safety, or welfare.
J -2. The landscaping deviation will not change the density or intensity of the existing
commercial use.

STORAGE FACILITY AT 1301 QUAIL STREET (PA2011 -076)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by Fletcher Jones Motorcars, with respect to property located at
1301 Quail Street, and legally described as Parcel 1 of Resubdivision No. 364 as
recorded in Book 49 Page 18 of parcel maps, County of Orange, California, requesting
approval of a planned development amendment, use permit, and modification permit.
2. The applicant requests approval of a planned development amendment to the Newport
Place Planned Community to allow vehicle storage as a conditionally permitted use,
conditional use permit to allow vehicle storage on Hotel Site 2B of PC -11 (Newport
Place Planned Community), and a modification permit to allow minor deviations to the
landscape development standards. The site does not comply with the landscape
development standards, which require one tree to be planted for every five parking
spaces within all parking areas and one tree for every 25 linear feet along interior
property lines. The site is currently utilized for outdoor storage of vehicle inventory
associated with Fletcher Jones Motorcars, which was previously approved for a limited
duration.
3. The subject property is located within the Hotel Site 2 -B Sub -Area of the PC -11 (Newport
Place Planned Community) Zoning District and the General Plan Land Use Element
category is MU -H2 (Mixed -Use Horizontal).
4. The subject property is not located within the coastal zone.
5. A public hearing was held on August 18, 2011, 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 Newport Beach Municipal Code.
Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning

SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. Pursuant to Section 15270 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines, projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves are not subject to
CEQA review.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with PC- 11(Newport Place Planned Community) Code, a vehicle storage
facility requires the approval of a conditional use permit and the project site requires a
modification permit for deviations to the landscape development standards. The City Council
may approve a conditional use permit and modification permit only after making each of the
required findings set forth in Section 20.52.020 and Section 20.52.050. In this case, the City
Council was unable to make the required findings based upon the following:
1. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are not compatible
with the allowed uses in the vicinity. The sound and lighting resulting from the vehicle
storage facility would result in negative impacts to businesses in the vicinity of the
establishment. The nuisance noise would be associated with the moving of vehicles,
mechanical equipment, and includes activity around the surrounding parking lot. The
proposed hours for the vehicle storage facility will increase activity on the project site.
Additional nuisance noise associated with the increased activity will disturb local
businesses and would not be compatible with the quite enjoyment of their property
during the late evening and early morning hours.
2. The site is not physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, and
operating characteristics. The property does not provide on -site parking to
accommodate the proposed use. The City Council does not consider the existing
development on the subject property a unique circumstance resulting in any necessity
to warrant approval of the proposed use.
3. The proposed vehicle storage facility is neither required by code nor necessary for the
enjoyment of the property. If desired, and as shown through previously approved
building permits, the subject property can be utilized to comply with the requirements
of the NBMC and the Newport Place Planned Community and be used for general
commercial or retail uses.
4. The subject property is consistent in orientation, size and shape with typical lots in this
neighborhood which are designed with commercial and mixed -use development.
Although, the property is currently developed with infrastructure for a vehicle storage
Tmplt: 03/08111

facility, the use could prove detrimental to the Newport Place Planned Community.
Operation of the use at the location proposed would be detrimental to the harmonious
and orderly growth of the City.
5. Granting of the use permit would provide special privileges to the subject property as
the City has required the minimum parking provided by the Zoning Code in similar
circumstances with nonconforming commercial uses.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, hereby
resolves as follows:
1. The City Council of the City of Newport Beach hereby denies Planned Development
Amendment No. PD2011 -002, Use Permit No. UP2011 -024, and Modification Permit No.
M D2011 -012.
2. This action shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council, and the
City Clerk shall certify the vote adopting the resolution.

Motorcars and is developed with a surface parking lot for up to 519 vehicles on -site and
a 200 - square -foot guardhouse for security purposes. Two parking spaces are available
on -site for security personnel and employees. Vehicle inventory is stored on -site then
moved for sale at the primary dealership, located at 3300 Jamboree Road. Members of
the general public or customers are not permitted on -site and vehicle repair does not
occur at this location. The daily hours of operation are limited to the hours of 5:00 a.m.
through 10:00 p.m., daily.
The applicant requests a planned development amendment to continue use of the site
as a vehicle storage facility as a conditionally permitted use. In conjunction with this
approval, a conditional use permit is requested to allow vehicle storage on Hotel Site 2B
of PC -11 (Newport Place Planned Community). The proposed changes to the planned
community can be found on pages 34 and 53 of the redlined draft PC -11 (Newport
Place Planned Community) text (Attachment No. PC 3).
The modification permit is requested to allow minor deviations from the landscape
development standards. The PC -11 Zoning District requires trees in the surface parking
area for every five parking stalls and trees are not provided within the existing vehicle
storage area. The vehicle storage area is not readily accessible to the general public
and the entire facility is screened from the adjacent right -of -way by landscaping and a
chain link fence with solid covering.
In addition, one tree per 25 feet of lineal feet is required along all interior property lines.
Under the landscape development standards, a total of 23 trees are required along the
east interior property line. The landscaping provided on the subject property is not wide
enough to accommodate any of the required trees. Instead, trees and additional
landscaping are provided on the adjacent property.
Background
General Plan Amendment No. GP98 -1 and Use Permit No. UP3640 were approved on
February 8, 1999, to change the land use designations from industrial to hotel, auto
center to professional business office, and increase the development limit allowed in the
PC -11 (Newport Place Planned Community).
The subject property was previously utilized as an automobile sales and service site,
which was demolished in 2000. On October 21, 2003, Use Permit No. UP2003 -037
(PA2003 -222) was approved for the temporary storage of automobiles by the Planning
Commission and on October 15, 2003, Modification Permit No. MD2003 -093 (PA2003-
222) was approved by the Modifications Committee to allow a modification of the
landscape standards to allow a fence to encroach up to 5 feet within the required 30-
foot landscape setback along North Bristol Street. The Modification Permit, was
approved because the encroachment is minor in nature, the property slopes down from
the curb elevation at Bristol Street such that the majority of the required landscaped
area would not be visible from the street elevation, and there is adequate landscaping
5 -o7
August 18, 2011
Page 4
between the fence and the sidewalk. The Use Permit, which was approved for a two -
year duration, expired in October of 2005. However, the Modification Permit remains in
effect.
Planning Director's Use Permit No. UP2007 -001 (PA2007 -022) was subsequently
approved March 27, 2007, to allow the continuation of the temporary outdoor storage of
automobiles for a two -year duration at the subject property. A two -year extension of the
use permit was approved May 29, 2009, and the use permit subsequently expired April
12, 2011. The subject property continues to be utilized for the storage of new
automobile inventory for Fletcher Jones Motorcars.
i76Y4i11& -1I P►
General Plan
The site is designated MU -H2 (Mixed -Use Horizontal) by the General Plan Land Use
Element. This designation allows for horizontal and vertical mixed -use development
including regional commercial office, multi - family residential, industrial, hotel rooms, and
ancillary neighborhood commercial uses. The proposed vehicle storage facility, which
would be the sole occupant of the subject property, is consistent with these land use
designations.
Under the General Plan land use designation of MU -H2, the development limit for the
subject property is identified under Anomaly No. 17, which limits the subject property to the
development of 33,292 square feet of gross floor area and 304 hotel rooms. The existing
development consists of a total of 200 square feet of gross floor area, which complies with
the development limit under Anomaly No. 17.
Planned Community /Zoning
The proposed planned development amendment would allow the vehicle storage facility
as a conditionally permitted use at the subject property, which is located on Hotel Site 2 -13
of the PC -11 (Newport Place Planned Community) zoning district. The purpose of the
support commercial designations within Newport Place are to allow a variety of retail sales
and services of a convenience nature, service uses for building tenants and patrons, and
restaurants. The existing vehicle storage is adequately screened from the surrounding
properties and will be consistent with the Development Plan for Newport Place upon the
adoption of the Planned Development Amendment. Staff has determined that a conditional
use permit is appropriate to allow vehicle storage and is consistent with the land use
standards in Newport Place. The subject property is not located within the Coastal Zone.

Use Permit Findings
In accordance with Section 20.52.020 (Conditional Use Permits and Minor Use
Permits), the Planning Commission must also make the following findings for approval
of a conditional use permit:
1. The use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
2. The use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all
other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and the Municipal Code.
3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the use are
compatible with the allowed uses in the vicinity.
4. The site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, operating
characteristics, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and
medical) access and public services and utilities.
5. Operation of the use at the location proposed would not be detrimental to the
harmonious and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise
constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general
welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and the proposed Planned
Development Amendment will make the existing use consistent with the PC -11
(Newport Place) zoning district.
The draft resolution has been conditioned to limit objectionable conditions due to noise,
trash, and deliveries at the facility. The facility's location, among existing office and retail
development, is appropriate given that the use is relatively quiet and is adequately
screened from adjacent streets and abutting properties. The proposed Planned
Development Amendment will allow the property owner to retain the existing use on -site
and maintain the flexibility that the existing use standards allow for future development
of the site as a hotel or other use.
Staff is recommending approval given that the site has previously been utilized for
vehicle storage and has not proven detrimental to the community and adequate
emergency vehicle access is maintained on -site.
Modification Permit
In accordance with Section 20.52.050 (Modification Permits), the Planning Commission
must also make the following findings for approval of a modification permit for deviations
to the landscape development standards:
7 log
August 18, 2011
Page 6
1. The requested modification will be compatible with existing
development in the neighborhood.
2. The granting of the modification is necessary due to the unique physical
characteristic(s) of the property and /or structure, and /or characteristics of the
use.
3. The granting of the modification is necessary due to 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.
4. There are no alternatives to the Modification Permit that could provide similar
benefits to the applicant with less potential detriment to surrounding owners and
occupants, the neighborhood, or to the general public.
5. The granting of the modification would not be detrimental to public health, safety,
or welfare to the occupants of the property, nearby properties, the neighborhood,
or the City, or result in a change in density or intensity that would be inconsistent
with the provisions of this Zoning Code.
A modification permit is necessary because trees are not provided within the existing
vehicle storage area for every five parking stall because the vehicle storage facility is
not a parking area accessible to the general public and the vehicles are fully screened
from the adjacent right -of -way. The addition of trees in the vehicle storage area would
reduce the number of vehicles that could be parked on -site and would result in potential
damage to the new vehicle inventory due to falling foliage and bird droppings.
In addition, one tree per 25 lineal feet of the interior southeast property line is not
provided. The existing landscape area provided is too narrow to plant trees. Existing
trees are located on the abutting property. Additionally, an 8 -foot high wall screens the
storage facility from the adjacent properties and rights -of -way. Therefore, staff believes
the facts are in evidence for approval of the requested modification permit. Refer to the
site photos provided as Attachment No. PC 4.
Alternatives
Staff believes the findings for approval can be made and the facts in support of the
required findings are presented in the draft resolution (Attachment No. PC 1). The
following alternatives are available to the Planning Commission should they feel the facts
are not in evidence of support for the project application:
1. The Planning Commission may suggest specific operational changes that are
necessary to alleviate any concerns. If any additional requested changes are
substantial, the item could be continued to a future meeting. Should the Planning
M- •
Fletcher Jones Vehicle Storage Facility

Page 7
Commission choose to do so, staff will return with a revised resolution
incorporating new findings and /or conditions.
2. If the Planning Commission believes that there are insufficient facts to support
the findings for approval, the Planning Commission should deny the application
and provide facts in support of denial to be included in the attached draft
resolution for denial (Attachment No. PC 2).
Environmental Review
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15301, of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines - Class 1 (Existing Facilities). The Class
1 exemption includes the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing,
or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical
equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use.
The proposed project involves the entitlement of an existing vehicle storage facility. No
physical change or expansion of the existing use is proposed. Therefore, the use
qualifies for a categorical exemption under Class 1.
If denied, projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves are 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 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.

Place Planned Community) Zoning District and the General Plan Land Use Element
category is MU -112 (Mixed -Use Horizontal).
4. The subject property is not located within the coastal zone.
5. A public hearing was held on August 18, 2011, 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 Newport Beach Municipal Code.
Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning

result in a change to the existing floor area or hotel room entitlements. Anomaly No. 17 of
the Land Use Element of the General Plan limits the subject property to the development
of 33,292 square feet of gross floor area and 304 hotel rooms.
A -3. The planned development amendment complies with relevant General Plan policies, the
new use is compatible with surrounding land uses, and the addition of vehicle storage as
a conditionally permitted use at this site within the Newport Place Planned Community is
consistent with other land use standards within the planned community.

Planning Commission Resolution Igo. 1854
Page 5 of 12
Finding:
F. The requested modification will be compatible with existing development it) the
neighborhood.
Facts in Support of Finding
F -1. The existing landscaping provided at the project site is compatible with the
surrounding office and retail development. [Existing ground cover, shrubs, and trees
are provided to soften the aesthetics of the vehicle storage facility and seamlessly
connect the property boundaries with adjacent development.

way. The vehicle storage facility was previously established as a temporary use. The
facility has been compatible with existing development over the past eight years since
it was developed.
Finding:
G. The granting of the modification is necessary due to the unique physical
characteristic(s) of the property and/or structure, and /or characteristics of the use.
Facts in Support of Finding:
G -1. The vehicle storage facility is not a parking area that serves a commercial use or is
accessible to the general public. The site and vehicles are fully screened frorn the
adjacent streets and properties by fences and landscaping.
G -2. One tree per 25 lineal feet of the interior east property line is not provided because the
landscape area provided is too narrow to plant trees on the subject property and trees
and landscaping are provided on the adjacent property. The existing deviations to the
landscape development standards would remain.
Finding:
H. The granting of the modification is necessity due to 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:
H -1. Sufficient landscaping consisting of ground cover, shrubs, and trees is already
provided on the subject property and sufficient screening is provided to conceal the
vehicles stored on -site from adjacent public- rights -of -way and adjacent properties.
