ITEM NO. 5 PLANNING COMMISSIONER REQUALIFICATION
FOR KOLL CENTER RESIDENCES (PA2015-024)
Site Location: 4400 Von Karman Avenue
SUMMARY: Four members of the Newport Beach Planning Commission have a conflict of interest
that prohibits their participation with the Koll Center Residences project. Because a
majority of the Planning Commissioners have a conflict, State law allows for the
requalification of one Planning Commissioner by means of random selection to
participate on this Project.
The conflicted Planning Commissioners drew playing cards to determine which
commissioner would be requalified to participate in the Koll project.
Commissioner Kleiman, Commissioner Kramer and Commissioner Lowrey
recused themselves due to conflicts of interest and left the chambers.
ACTION: Chair Zak was requalified to hear the Koll project. Once decided, a date for a
future study session will be announced to the community.
