A. ROLL CALL.
Reading of Minutes of Meeting of August
14, 1989 was waived, approved as
written, and order filed.
C. Reading in full of all ordinances and
resolutions under consideration was
waived, and City Clerk was directed to
read by titles only.
D. HEARINGS:
1. Mayor Strauss opened the public hearing
and City Council review of VARIANCE NO.
1152, approved by the Planning
Commission at its meeting on July 6,
1989, being a request of ARTHUR LESSER
AND ROBERT FEISS, Los Angeles, to permit
the construction of a single - family
dwelling located at 2310 First Avenue,
on the northeasterly side of First
Avenue, between Acacia Avenue and
Begonia Avenue, in Corona del Mar; zoned
R -2. The dwelling will exceed 1.5 times
the buildable area of the site, will
provide less than the required open
space and exceed the 24 foot basic
height limit in the 24/28 Foot Height
Limitation District. The proposal also
includes a modification to the Zoning
Code so as to allow a ten foot building
encroachment, a fourteen foot chimney
encroachment, and a fourteen foot, six
inch, second floor deck encroachment,
all within the required twenty foot
front yard setback adjacent to First
Avenue; and a seven foot building
encroachment into the required ten foot
rear yard setback. Approval by the
Planning Commission revised the
Conditions so that an additional two
foot front yard setback was required for
the proposed chimney and second floor
deck.
Report from the Planning Department.
It was noted that the original
application was revised so that the
proposed single - family dwelling complies
with the requirements of the 24/28 foot
height limitation district. Therefore a

variance to exceed the basic height
limit is no longer necessary. All other
requests of the project have remained
the same. The revised gross structural
•
area of the project approved by the
Planning Commission will be 1,867±
sq.ft., which represents a land area to
floor area ratio of .943. Such a ratio
is within the previously suggested
limits of .996 discussed in.the Planning
Commission staff report dated May 18,
1989. The Planning Commission also
recommended that the fireplace and
second floor balcony encroachments in
the front yard setback area each be
reduced by two feet (see Condition of
Approval No. 10). If approved by the
City Council, the fireplace would
maintain an eight foot setback from the
front property line (and eighteen feet
from the curb on.First Avenue), and the
second floor deck would maintain a seven
foot, six inch, setback from the front
property line (and seventeen, six
inches, from the curb on First Avenue).
The remainder of the structure will
maintain a front yard setback of ten
feet (and twenty feet from the curb on
First Avenue).
•
The Planning Director referenced a
drawing on display and noted that the
normal lot size for Corona del Mar is 30
ft. x 118 ft. The subject parcel is 33
ft, x 60 ft., which is smaller than the
average lot size in Corona del Mar, and
has a 20 foot front yard setback which
is large for the subject area. He
stated that because this particular
piece of property does not have a
setback illustrated on the districting
map, and because the rear -yard is not
adjacent to an alley, the request
presents some very unusual problems in
terms of attempting to build a
single - family dwelling of adequate size.
He summarized the variance application
and answered questions of the Council.
Arthur Leeser, applicant, addressed the
Council in support of the project;
submitted photographs of newly
constructed duplexes and townhomes in
the area, and indicated the proposed
improvement would benefit the
•
neighborhood.
Hearing no others wishing to address the
Council, the public hearing was closed.

Council Member Sansone reported that he
has had considerable discussions with
neighbors in the subject area regarding
the proposed setbacks, and as a result,
moved the following motion:
1) that building setbacks be
established as follows:
a) Front Yard - 10 feet
b) Rear Yard - 3 feet
c) Interior Side Yard - 3 feet
d) Alley Side Yard - 5 feet
2) that the gross structural area of
the building shall not exceed 1.5 x the
buildable area of the site (1.5 x 1175 =
1762).
3) that no encroachments be allowed in
the setbacks specified under 1) above.
4) that the large tree located in the
right -of -way on First Avenue not be
removed without prior approval of the
Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Commission.
Mayor Strauss opened the public hearing
regarding proposed ORDINANCE NO. 89 -22,
being,
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE C17TY OF NEWPORT BEACH AMENDING
PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 20.78 OF THE
NEWPORT BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATED TO GRANNY UNITS [PLANNING
COMMISSION AMENDMENT NO. 6811
Report from the Planning Department.
The City Manager advised that the
proposed amendment will increase the
minimum lot size from 5,000 sq.ft. to
5,450 sq.ft. in order to establish a
granny unit on a site zoned for a
single - family residence. The Commission
also recommended that Section 20.78.025G
of the Municipal Code be amended so that
the primary residence shall be
continuously occupied by the legal owner
of the property. However, at its
meeting of August 14, 1989, the City
Council revised the wording to said
section so as to provide that the
primary residence or the granny unit
shall be continuously occupied by at
least one person having an ownership
interest in the property.

Council Member Hart stated that in the
Newport Heights area, many of the lots
are large in size and zoned primarily
R -1, and that in her opinion, the
revised language in Item G of the
Ordinance, is "straying" from the intent
of the State law.
The Assistant City Attorney indicated
she felt the intent of the State law
with respect to granny units was to
promote independent living and
affordable housing for senior citizens.
Council Member Turner stated the reason
he was in support of the revised
language contained in Item G of the
ordinance is that it prevents someone
from having to transfer ownership of the
property in order to take advantage of
the granny unit law.
Janine Gault, 406 San Bernardino Avenue,
representing Newport Heights Community
Association, addressed the Council in
favor of the recommendation of the
Planning Commission which requires that
the primary residence should be
continuously occupied by the legal owner
of the property. She felt the original
wording would eliminate problems that
could arise if the property owner
occupies the granny unit, and also
eliminate the creation of an R -2 lot in
an R -1 district.
Jean Beek, 2007 Highland Drive,
addressed the Council in support of the
ordinance as presently worded. She
stated she was approaching "granny" age
and would like to build a granny unit on
her property for herself and then let
her son and his family live in the house
they once shared together. She has been
a resident of the City for 30 -years and
would like to remain at her present
location, preferrably in a granny unit.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa
Mesa, addressed the Council and stated
he did not feel the ordinance, as
presently worded, would change an R -1
zone to an R -2 zone as referenced by Ms.
Gault. He stated it was his
understanding, pursuant to State guide
lines, that the addition of granny units
in an R -1 zone would not alter the
"respectability" of that zone.
Hearing no further comments, Council
Member Hart moved to uphold the

recommendation of the Planning
Commission and require that the primary
residence shall be continuously occupied
by the legal owner of the property.
Substitute motion was made to adopt
Ordinance No. 89 -22, with Item G to read
as follows:
"That the primary residence or the
granny unit shall be continuously
occupied by at least one person having
an ownership interest in the property."
Council Member Watt commented that she
was in support of the Planning
Commission's recommendation, but would
also like to know how many homeowner
associations would be affected by the
ordinance, and how the provisions of
said ordinance would affect their CC &
R's, but no Council action was taken in
this regard.
Council Member Cox indicated he did not
share the same concerns as Council
Member Watt, and called for the
question.
The substitute motion, made by Council
Member Turner, was voted on and carried.

and building construction of the new
Central Library Building, to be funded
from whatever source or sources the
Council determines.
The City Manager summarized his report
outlining the three funding alternatives
as follows:
Option 1: A general obligation bond
issue in the amount of $8,600,000 be
placed on the June 1990 ballot. If the
two - thirds majority yes vote is
achieved, it would be combined with an
estimated $2,000,000 raised between the
City and private sector, giving a total
of $10,600,000 to fund all aspects of
the building program including
furnishings, architect, Avocado Avenue
improvements, and the Library Board's
recommended structure size of 63,555
sq.ft. This option would not provide
revenues for annual additional
maintenance and operation costs of the
library.
Option 2: The City would arrange an
inter -fund loan of current surplus City
funds of $4,307,540. This is the amount
that can be retired assuming an 8%
interest rate (average City investment
rate), and a 20 -year retirement period,
by $432,361 available annually from
excess revenues. $432,361 is derived
from taking the total average excess
revenues over expenditures for the last
five years ($643,076) and subtracting
the City Manager's estimate for annual
additional maintenance and operation
costs ($210,715) for the new library.
If the total. amount borrowed of
$4,307,540 is increased by an estimated
$2,000,000 to be raised from private and
City sources, it would give a total
construction. fund of $6,307,540. This
would construct a structure containing
47,669 sq.ft. This option would not
provide funds for achitect fees,
furnishings, or Avocado Avenue
improvements. It would provide for
additional maintenance and operation
costs. The City Attorney has some
reservations about this method of
financing and has submitted a separate
memo on the subject.

Option 3: Certificates of Participation
would be sold giving a net construction
amount of $4,352,000. If this amount is
combined with cash donations from the
City and the private sector of
$2,000,000, it would provide a total
construction amount of $6,352,000. It
this is used exclusively for building
construction, it would provide for a
structure of 48,005 sq.ft. Under this
assumption, the City would fund from
other sources the architect fees,
furnishings, and Avocado Avenue
improvements. This option would provide
for increased.maintenance and operation
costs of the new library. As in Option
2, this will require the use of excess
revenues over expenditures of $432,361
for the life of the Certificates of
Participation.
Included with the above report was also
a comparison of the C.O.P.'s, G.O.
Bonds, and Inter -Fund Loan.
Charles Sword, Chairman of the Board of
Library Trustees, referenced his letter
dated this date, and stated that the
Board reviewed their July 24 proposal to
the City Council, and have concluded
that it is the consensus of the Council
Members that the City should not commit
as much for the project as the Board had
originally recommended, and therefore,
they have amended their request that the
City commit $6 million for site
development and building construction
rather than $7.4 million. Both then and
now they assume the Newport Beach Public
Library Foundation will raise $1 million
toward construction and other costs.
The Board also assumes that certain
other required non - construction costs
will be met from current City funds,
i.e., Avocado Avenue improvements and
architectural fees.
Mr. Sword introduced John and Elizabeth
Stahr of Corona del Mar, who have
offered to serve as co- chairmen of the
NBPLF, assuming the City firmly commits
to the Central Library project and to
its funding, and stated that they have
already pledged $10,000 as an initial
offer to the Foundation.
Discussion ensued wherein the City
Manager commented that the Avocado
Avenue improvements could possibly be
funded from the transportation and

improvement fund, gasoline tax fund, or
general street funds. As to funding the
architect (approximately $600,000-
$700,000), appropriations could come
from library and general fund reserve
accounts. With respect to funding the
$6 million, he would estimate
approximately $5 million to come from
C.O.P.'s, with the balance from general
fund reserves. If the City Council
commits to the $6 million, he will
prepare a report, with various options,
as to how to obtain that amount.
As to a estimated time frame for the
project, the City Manager stated that a
mid -year appropriation would have to be
prepared for the architectural fees this
fiscal year; Avocado Avenue improvements
would be placed in the 1990 -91 budget,
and hopefully construction would begin
on the Library during fiscal year
1991 -1992.
In response to question raised as to who
will actually be monitoring and
controlling the construction costs once
development begins, Mr. Sword advised
that it is the Board's recommendation to
hire a independent project manager who
will work under the direction of the
Public Works Director:
Following discussion as to the various
alternative methods of funding, motion
was made to approve, in concept, a new
Central Library; to approve a mid -year
budget appropriation for architectural
design from library and general fund
reserves, and that the City Manager be
directed report back as how the $6
million commitment can be funded.
With respect to the selection of an
architect for the new library, the Board
of Library Trustees was directed to
bring back a full report as to the
architect selection process for a future
study session.
Council Member Sansone stated if
possible, he would like the Board to
give strong consideration to local
architects who might be more aware of
the needs of Newport Beach.
The motion on the floor was voted on and
carried.

CURRENT BUSINESS:
Proposed resolution establishing AD HOC
CITIZENS COMMITTEE TO REVIEW
CHLOROFLUOROCARBON IMPACTS.
Council Member Hart indicated she felt
the Environmental Quality Advisory
Committee could undertake the review of
chlorofluorocarbon impacts and that the
proposed Ad Hoc Committee was not really
necessary. .
Council Members Turner and Cox agreed
with Council Member Hart, and therefore
motion was made to not adopt the
proposed resolution establishing an ad
hoc citizens committee to review
chlorofluorocarbon impacts.
Council Member Watt, Council liaison on
the Environmental Quality Committee,
commented that the Committee did make a
recommendation that a task force be

is the desire of the Council to have the
Committee pursue this matter, she will
advise the members and report back at a
future meeting.
