ACTION: Planning Commission Denial on May 18, 2000
APPEAL
FILED: May 31, 2000
HEARING
REQUIRED: Within 30 days if appeal filing or prior to June 30, 2000
RECOMMENDED
ACTION: Open the Public Hearing and Continue the item to July 25,
2000 at the request of the appellant.
Discussion
The appellant and property owner, Mr. Navai, requests that the hearing on the Planning
Commission's denial of Variance No. 1237 be continued to July 25, 2000, so he can consider legal
and design options. The Municipal Code requires that an appeal hearing be scheduled within 30
days of the filing of an appeal which has been complied with. Continuance of tonight's hearing is
acceptable as the Municipal Code does not require a decision on the appeal within 30 days. Staff
recommends that the City Council grant the request for a continuance to permit Mr. Navai
additional time to consider other options.

Re: Variance No. 1237
1201 Kings Road
Newport Beach, CA
Hearing: 6 -27 -2000, 7:00 p.m.
We ask that you uphold the Planning Commission's denial of Variance No. 1237 on property located
at 1201 Kings Road.
We oppose the above variance application for a "second story addition ". The existing structure already
has 2 stories: one story at street level and one story below street level. When we added a second story to
our own house, we were required to conform to the height limit as have others on our street. The 24 foot
height limit was enacted for a purpose and should not be easily avoided by the granting of variances.
Thank you for your consideration.
