theft, and arson) crime rate in RD 24 was 244 crimes reported in 2016, which is higher
than adjacent reporting districts RD 25, RD 16, and RD 17. Reporting Districts RD 25,
RD 16, and RD 17 are predominately residential with some commercial areas. The
Part One Crime rate in RD 24 is higher than the citywide average.
2. The Police Department has reviewed the proposed use, provided operating conditions
of approval, and has no objection to the addition of the Type 20 alcoholic beverage
license subject to appropriate conditions of approval. Conditions of approval include a
closing hour of 12 a.m.

and in adjacent reporting districts.
The total number of alcohol-related calls for service, crimes, or arrests in RD 24 is
higher than adjacent reporting districts RD 25, RD16, and RD 17. Adjacent reporting
districts are comprised of primarily residential properties with some commercial
components, so the lower amount of alcohol-related incidents is expected. The Police
Department has reviewed the proposed use and has no objection.
2. In 2016, 25 calls for service representing less than one percent of all calls for service
in RD 24 have been reported at the subject property.
iii. The proximity of the establishment to residential zoning districts, day care centers,
hospitals, park and recreation facilities, places of worship, schools, other similar uses, and
any uses that attract minors.
The establishment is directly abutting residential zoning districts and approximately
700 feet from the Hoag Hospital campus, which also operates a day care onsite. The
property is not located within close proximity to any park and recreation facilities,
places of worship, or schools. The establishment is to be closed by midnight and

2. The proposed use has been reviewed and conditioned to help ensure that the purpose
and intent of NBMC Section 20.48.030 (Alcohol Sales) is maintained and that a
healthy environment for businesses is preserved. The service of alcohol is intended for
the oonvenience of customers living in and visiting the area. Operational conditions of

and orderly growth of the City, or endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard
to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing
or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
Facts in Support of Finding
1. The existing service station, convenience store, and car wash has been in operation since
1995 pursuant to Use Permit No. 3655. The development has not proven detrimental to the
area, and has demonstrated that it is compatible with the neighboring residential uses.

In accordance with NBMC Subsection 20.48.210(T)(2) (Service Stations — Modification or
Waiver of Standards), the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
G. The strict compliance with the standards is not necessary to achieve the purpose and
intent of this section.
Facts in Support of Finding
1. A landscape area of 110 square feet is located at the corner of Superior Avenue and
Placentia Avenue, instead of the requirement of 150 square feet. The existing planter
provides separation between driveways at the intersection without interfering with the safe
circulation onsite. A larger planter would require narrowing of the access driveways, which
may disrupt circulation patterns.
2. The site provides 1,448 square feet of landscaping within 20 feet of street property lines,
instead of the requirement of 1,959 square feet. There is minimal site work occurring at the
property as a part of this project. The site as designed provides all required parking spaces
and adequate circulation onsite. Additional landscaping area within 20 feet of street property
lines may affect ability to provide adequate parking and circulation onsite.
3. The site provides no trees or shrubs adjacent to Placentia Avenue where 3 trees and 9
shrubs are required. The existing driveway abutting Placentia Avenue occupies nearly the
entire Placentia Avenue frontage, leaving little space for landscaping. All three existing
driveways, including two abutting Superior Avenue, are necessary to ensure adequate
circulation due to the irregular shape of the lot. The site provides the required number of
trees and shrubs along the Superior Avenue property line and interior property lines.
Finding
H. The project possesses compensating design and development features that offset
impacts associated with modification or waiver of standards.

2. The Property will be developed with an expanded and enhanced convenience store
building. The building will be two stories (24 feet) high. The building architecture is designed
to provide an attractive appearance that is compatible with and complimentary to the
surrounding area.
The overall site plan and architectural design is consistent with the City of Newport
Beach Design Guidelines: Automobile Service Stations and Washing.
Facts in Support of Finding
The site plan and architectural design of the expanded convenience store and the existing
service station is consistent with the City of Newport Beach Design Guidelines: Automobile
Service Stations and Washing. The proposed improvements to the building architecture
will provide an attractive appearance that is compatible with and complimentary to the
surrounding area. The building elevations reflect architecturally treated wall surfaces to
prevent monotony.
2. The car wash' is to remain in in its current location, which is oriented such that the opening
is not visible from public streets. The new landscaping will provide an improved design
element to anchor the street corner.

requirements and will comply with the WELO. Irrigation will be updated to drip zone valves
where possible to increase water efficiency.
