An application was filed by Mr. Arthur Yelsey with respect to property located at 1550 Bayside Drive, and legally described as Parcel 1 of Parcel Map No. 279 -27 (Resubdivision 979), requesting approval of Use Permit No. 2002 -016 that would authorize the submitted request for a waiver of the off - street parking requirements associated with converting an existing outdoor patio into a sunroom. Section 2. A public hearing was held on June 20, 2002 in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of the time, place and purpose of the aforesaid meeting was given. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at this meeting. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds as follows: The location for the proposed sunroom requiring this use permit, and the proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained, is consistent with the General Plan and the purpose of the APF 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. The use permit pertains to the parking required in association with the enclosure of an existing patio adjacent to the rear side of an existing office building. This approval will not be detrimental to the area because it has been conditioned in such a manner to eliminate the traffic and parking impacts associated with the enclosure of the patio. 2. The operational characteristics of the proposed sunroom and the plans as conditioned, particularly the exclusion of mechanical appurtenants for heating and cooling the space, are the reasons for granting the parking waiver. The sunroom is to provide space for support activities that are ancillary to the normal operations of an office building. The parking demand for such space will be less than the requirement as prescribed by the Zoning Code. The probable long -term occupancy of the project will not generate additional parking demand. Any change in the operational characteristics, particularly any change in the use of the sunroom that would allow it to become workspace, would require an amendment to the Use Permit, reviewed by the Planning Commission, with the parking waiver reconsidered. 3. The project has been reviewed, and it qualifies for a categorical exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). City of Newport Beach Planning Commission Resolution No. Page 2 of 3 Section 4. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Commission approves Use Permit No. 2002 -016, subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit "A ", the plans dated June 20, 2002. Section 5. This action shall become final and effective fourteen days after the adoption of this Resolution unless within such time an appeal is filed with the City Clerk or this action is called for review by the City Council in accordance with the provisions of Title 20, Planning and Zoning, of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
