SUMMARY: Request to initiate amendments to the Newport Beach General Plan, as
follows:
A. 4343 Von Karman Avenue (Koll Development Company): A proposal
to increase the development allocation for Koll Center Newport Office
Site by 2,160 square feet to allow an expansion of the second floor of
an existing building within the two story lobby.
B. One Upper Newport Plaza (O Hill Partners): A proposal to increase
the development allocation for Newport Place Blocks G & H (Newport
Place PC Industrial Site 3A) to allow an approximate 440 sq. ft.
addition to an existing office building for a file storage room.
ACTION: Recommend to the City Council:
A. The proposed General Plan Amendments be initiated and staff be
directed to proceed with the preparation of any necessary
environmental documents and set for public hearing before the
Planning Commission; or
B. One or more of the proposed General Plan Amendments are
unwarranted and should be returned to the originator; or
C. Action on the proposed amendments be deferred to future hearing
sessions based on Planning Department workloads and project
priorities.
Background
City Council Policy K -1 states that:
"A citizen and/or property owner may request an amendment to the General Plan.
Such request shall be submitted in writing to the Planning Commission a
minimum of fourteen (14) days prior to the month during which proposed
amendments are to be initiated. The request should clearly set forth the reason for
which the request is made, and should contain information substantiating the
need. If the Planning Commission, after examination, is convinced that the
proposed change is worthy of initiation, it may recommend initiation of
amendments as set forth above. If not, the Commission shall forward the request
to the City Council with its recommendation that initiation of the amendment is
unwarranted. The City Council, after consideration of the request and of the report
from the Planning Commission, may either initiate the proposed amendment and
direct the Planning Commission to set for public hearing, return the request to the
originator without further action, or defer action on the proposed amendment to
future hearing sessions based on Planning Department work loads and project
priorities."
Proposed Amendments
Both of these amendments are for relatively minor expansions to existing office buildings in the
Airport Area. The amendments are necessary for the projects to proceed because both areas have
reached the maximum floor area allocated in the Land Use Element. A plan of the file room
expansion at One Upper Newport Plaza is attached to the letter of request. No plan was submitted
for the proposal at 4343 Von Karman Avenue. However, that expansion is contained totally with an
existing building, and will not change the building footprint, parking layout or any other external
features of the area, and will be for additional office space similar to the rest of the building.
Through the review process, each applicant will be required to identify where the additional parking
required will be provided.
Planning Department Workload
The Department continues to experience a very high workload, and is operating beyond capacity
in some areas. Because of the high on -going workload, the Department has retained contract
project managers for some of the larger development requests currently in process, and for the
Housing Element update. Also, we have shifted some of the work assignments of existing staff in
plan check and staff level approvals, to reduce the backlog in those activity areas. However, the
City Manager has requested information from both the Planning and Building Departments
regarding the staffing needs in the area of plan check to review with the City Council at a study
session in October. Staff is also preparing information on staffing and other budgetary
requirements associated with the three annexations currently under consideration.
In terms of the new cases which have been requested by property owners, the Department
believes that they can be handled within the staff assigned to case analysis, as they will be
processed as the proponents submit their related applications.

Re: Request to Initiate a General Plan Amendment to Increase the Entitlement
for the Industrial Site 3A Block
Dear Planning Commission:
The purpose of this letter is to request an increase to the square footage entitlement for
Industrial Site 3A Block within Newport Place to allow the addition of a 440 square foot
File Storage Room for our offices at One Upper Newport Plaza. We received plan check
approval for the intended addition in 1995, but were unable to proceed with the
construction at that time due to constraints beyond our control. We very much need to
and are in a position to proceed with this small addition at this time. However, our
architect, Dougherty and Dougherty, was informed by the city that we would be required
to obtain a new plan check approval. The Planning Department indicated that City
records for Industrial Site 3A Block shows that there is approximately 100 square feet of
entitlement left for our area.
We respectfully request that the Planning Commission increase the entitlement by 440
square feet for Industrial Site 3A within Newport Place to allow for the small, but very
needed addition to One Upper Newport Plaza. Enclosed is the plan layout of the addition
for your review.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Robert 0 Hill

Koll Center Newport/General Plan Amendment
Dear Ms. Temple:
A request is hereby made for the City of Newport Beach to consider initiating an amendment to
the Land Use Element of the General Plan for the Koll Headquarters property located at 4343
Von Karman Avenue. This existing office building is part of Office Site A in the Koll Center
Newport Planned Community.
An approximate 2,160 square foot increase in the allowable building area is requested to permit
the expansion of the second floor over the existing two -st6ry lobby volume. This increased floor
area will be contained within the existing building envelope and is needed to accommodate The
Koll Company's space requirements.
If there are any questions or additional information necessary for the City to consider this
request, please give me a call at (949) 833 -3025 x244.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this request.
Very truly yours,

Commission this evening. She noted that at the last initiation process, both the

therefore, there are floor plans provided for each of the requests. She noted this
step is initiation only and does not constitute a project approval, just moving a
project forward into the planning review process. The applicants will be required
to show where the additional parking is provided for the project and will be
required to make the related amendments to the Planned Community Text and
submit those as well.
