3. The exceptions to this categorical exemption under Section 15300.2 are not applicable.
The project does not result in cumulative impacts, does not have a significant effect on
the environment due to unusual circumstances, does not damage scenic resources within
a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site, and is not identified as a historical
resource.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with NBMC Section 20.52.060 (Planned Development Permits), the following
findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
A. The proposed development would:
a. Include only uses allowed within the base zoning district,
b. Be substantially consistent with the purpose, intent, goals, policies, actions, and land
use designations of the General Plan, and any applicable specific plan;
C. Be substantially consistent with the purpose and intent of the base zoning district;
d. Include sustainable improvement standards and protection of environmental
resources; and
e. Be compatible with other development within the zoning district and general
neighborhood of the proposed project.
Facts in Support of Finding:
The subject property is currently zoned Multi -Unit Residential (RM -6,000) which requires a
minimum of 92 and allows a maximum of 115 attached or detached dwelling units on this
5.76 -acre site. The proposed 92 -unit multi -family residential development complies with the
RM -6,000 Zoning District development standards, except for the requested setback
adjustment.
2. The subject property has a General Plan Land Use Element designation of Multiple -Unit
Residential ("RM"). This category is intended to provide primarily for multi -family residential
development containing attached or detached dwelling units. The General Plan Land Use
Element Figure LU 10 allows a maximum density of 20 units per acre. The proposed project
does not exceed the maximum allowable density of 115 units (5.76 x 20).
3. The proposed project is consistent with General Plan Policy LU 5.1.9, which requires multi-
family dwellings to be designed to convey a high quality architectural character in regards
to building elevations, ground floor treatment, roof design, parking, open space, and
amenities. Parking is provided as attached garages integrated within the residential
structures, with uncovered guest spaces throughout the site. The design is described as
contemporary California coastal architecture with comprehensive and cohesive designs.
The colors of the materials will include white, beige, blue, green, and gray. Materials will
include a combination of board and batten siding, horizontal lap siding, shingle siding,
stucco, and metal elements. Any stucco on the building will have a smooth finish. The
04-24-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-019
Paqe 3 of 17
project is designed with buildings offset from vehicle entrances to create visual interest from
the street and prevent long, unarticulated driveway appearances. Canopies over front doors
fronting on Irvine Avenue will provide for a pedestrian -oriented development that integrate
the project into the surrounding area, and two -foot projections into the 20 -foot front setback
on Irvine Avenue will create building articulation and enhance visual interest.
4. The property is not located in a specific plan area.
5. The RM Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate for multi -unit residential
units containing attached or detached dwelling units. The proposed project provides 92
multi -family attached dwelling units and is therefore consistent with this designation.
6. The proposed project is consistent with the development standards within NBMC Section
20.18.030 (Residential Zoning Districts and General Development Standards) regarding
density, lot area, lot width, site coverage, open space, and parking. The proposed two -car
garages attached to each residential unit provide interior dimensions of 20 feet wide by 20
feet deep, and will also accommodate refuse storage. The minimum size required for
narrow lots pursuant to NEMC Section 20.40.090 (Parking Standards for Residential Uses)
is 17 -feet 6inches wide by 19 -feet deep. Each residential unit is approximately 21 -feet wide
at the ground level; therefore, it is appropriate to apply the narrow lot garage standards.
7. The proposed setbacks are consistent with the purpose and intent of the RM -6,000 Zoning
District and the 2 -foot adjustment is allowed with an approved Planned Development
Permit. Setbacks between structures ensure adequate light and air to individual dwelling
units. The proposed 18 -foot second -story front setback on Irvine Avenue is adequate and,
compatible with surrounding uses, and allows for increased articulation in the building
fagade. The existing 114 -unit apartment complex features a front setback of 6 to 30 feet on
Irvine Avenue, which faces a single-family residential neighborhood of Costa Mesa. The
apartments have several parking lots and carport structures also fronting Irvine Avenue.
The proposed design, with increased setback to 18 feet and front doors facing Irvine
Avenue, creates a more pedestrian -oriented frontage that is compatible with the
neighborhood across Irvine Avenue. The proposed design also includes a landscaped
parkway and sidewalk along Irvine Avenue.
8. The proposed development is designed to be energy efficient and will allow for the future
installation of solar panels. Landscaping will be required to comply with the requirements
of the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
9. The proposed project is designed with an architectural style and scale that are compatible
with and complementary to the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed project is a
redevelopment of an aging 114 -unit apartment complex to a 92 -unit condominium
development mix. Besides the setback request, the proposed project complies with the
development standards of the RM -6,000 Zoning District. The proposed buildings range from
32 feet 8 inches to 33 feet in height. The provision of canopies along the first floor units
facing Irvine Avenue provides a more pedestrian -oriented development that helps to ensure
that the project is an integrated part of the area.
04-24-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-019

10. The project site is located to the north of the abutting Westcliff Plaza commercial center,
which contains resident -serving uses including a grocery store, food service establishments
and a pharmacy, among others. The proposed residential design features a pedestrian
access point to the shopping center along the shared property line near Rutland Road to
encourage a convenient and harmonious relationship between the residential and
commercial uses.
B. The project would produce a development of higher quality and greater excellence of design
than that might otherwise result from using the standard development regulations.
Facts in Support of Finding:
The proposed project provides increased common open space compared to the minimum
required by the Zoning Code, with 6,900 square feet required and 21,495 square feet
provided, including landscaped areas and recreational amenities including a pool and spa,
seating and gathering areas, two fireside lounge areas, and an outdoor dining area. The
proposed project will provide quality building design through complementary materials,
building articulation and modulation, and varied roof planes to provide increased visual
interest. Internal streets and walkways allow for separation between buildings and efficient
circulation onsite.
2. The project design is described as contemporary California coastal architecture with
comprehensive and cohesive designs. The colors of the materials will include white, beige,
blue, green, and gray. Materials will include a combination of board and batten siding,
horizontal lap siding, shingle siding, stucco, and metal elements. Any stucco on the building
will have a smooth finish. The project is designed with buildings offset from vehicle
entrances to create visual interest from the street and prevent long, unarticulated driveway
appearances. Canopies over front doors fronting on Irvine Avenue provides for a
pedestrian -oriented development that integrate the project into the surrounding area.
Finding:
C. The subject site is adequate in terms of size, shape, topography, and circumstances to
accommodate the proposed development
Facts in Support of Finding:
The subject property is 5.76 acres, only slightly irregular in shape, and is fairly flat. The site
is adequate to accommodate the proposed 92 multi -family dwelling units, open space, and
landscaping within the minimum and maximum density allowed by the Zoning Code and
General Plan.
2. Vehicular site access is being reduced from eight driveways at the existing development to
three, with one taking access from Irvine Avenue and two from Rutland Road.
04-24-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-019
Page 5 of 17
3. Pedestrian access to the abutting Westcliff Plaza commercial center is proposed along the
southern property line of the proposed project to encourage a harmonious relationship
between the residential condominiums and the commercial uses. The pedestrian access
will create a walkable development that provides convenient access to retail and service
uses.
4. The Public Works Department and Fire Division have reviewed and approved the proposed
project design, including emergency access.
D. The project, as conditioned, will not have a substantial adverse effect on surrounding
properties or allowed uses.
Facts in Support of Finding:
The proposed project provides adequate separation from structures to adjacent properties.
The recreational area is located towards the center of the property, which will reduce any
potential noise or odor impacts to the neighborhood from surrounding properties.
2. The site has been designed to reduce potential impacts to the dwellings from the adjacent
Westcliff Plaza commercial center to the south by designing the floor plans such that interior
stairwells are along the southerly boundary to minimize noise intrusion from commercial
activities, including the loading dock. The project design also proposes that the existing
block wall separating the two properties remain, which ranges in height up to 11.6 feet and
further minimizes potential noise impacts to the residential uses.
3. The project site is adjacent to Mariners Elementary School to the north across Mariners
Drive. The proposed design includes eliminating two driveways on Mariners Avenue,
featuring instead one vehicular entrance from Irvine Avenue and two from Rutland Road.
This reduces turning activity on Mariners Drive and provides a safer and more compatible
relationship between the proposed residential project and the elementary school. The
project also features a 6 -foot landscaped setback along Mariners Drive including five
existing trees to be protected in place.
4. Across Rutland Road to the east of the project site are multi -family residences with
pedestrian access from Rutland Road. Because these residences have vehicular access
from an alley, the proposed two driveways to the proposed project from Rutland Road will
not create a traffic hazard. The project also features a 6 -foot landscaped setback along
Rutland Road, including eight existing trees to be protected in place.
5. The conditions of approval will ensure compliance with applicable rules and regulations,
reduce potential lighting glare impacts, and ensure maintenance of landscaping.
Findin_q:
E The project includes improved quality of life provisions and enhanced amenities, including
an additional and appropriate variety of structure placement and orientation opportunities,

Paae 6 of 17
appropriate mix of structure sizes, high quality architectural design, common open space,
landscaping, parking areas, private open space, public art, recreational amenities for adults
and/or children, private or separated entrances, sustainable improvement standards (e.g.,
energy efficient building design, construction, and operation; convenient pedestrian and
bicycle circulation; water and resource conservation)., etc.
Facts in Support of Finding:
The site design includes a mix of east -west and north -south oriented buildings that provide
variety of structure placement to promote visual interest. The proposed dwelling units each
have a separate entrance. The units range in size from 1,724 to 2,742 square feet across
seven floor plan options. Private open space is provided for each unit by ground level patios
and second and third floor decks and balconies. Private open space per unit ranges from
375 to 936 square feet across the seven floor plan options, and the total exceeds the
minimum requirement. Each unit includes a 2 -car garage and 47 guest parking spaces are
provided throughout the site.
2. A recreational area is provided for the residents for use by both adults and children,
including a pool and spa, restroom, seating and lounge areas, a barbeque, deck areas, turf
area, short term bicycle parking, and landscaping. Landscaping is proposed throughout the
site, with significant plantings along the front, rear and exterior side property lines, along
interior streets, at the project entrance, and in the recreational area.
3. The proposed design includes complementary materials, building articulation and
modulation, and varied roof planes to provide increased visual interest. The applicant
describes the proposed design as contemporary California coastal architecture with
traditional clean design. The materials will include a combination of detailed wood -like
siding, stucco, and metal elements. The structures are designed to be energy efficient and
will include tankless water heaters, energy efficient hearing systems with built-in air
conditioning. The project is required to comply with the Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance, and the landscaping pallet for the development will be drought tolerant with an
emphasis on low water demands.
F. The design, location, operating characteristics, and size of the project would be compatible
with the existing and future uses in the vicinity, in terms of aesthetic values, character,
scale, and view protection.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1 The project is located in the RM -6,000 Zoning District and is compatible with the existing
and allowed uses in the area including multiple -unit residential, commercial, and public
facility uses. The project meets the minimum and maximum standards of the Zoning Code
and General Plan. The use will remain residential.

2. The proposed project provides a reduction in driveways on Irvine Avenue, from three to
one driveway, a reduction in driveways on Rutland Road, from three to two driveways,
and the elimination of two driveways on Mariners Drive. Driveway placement has been
reviewed by the traffic engineer and is designed to promote safe and convenient vehicle
entry.
3. The proposed design includes complementary materials, building articulation and
modulation, and varied roof planes to provide increased visual interest. The applicant
describes the proposed design as contemporary California coastal architecture with
traditional clean design. The materials will include a combination of detailed wood -like
siding, smooth stucco, and metal elements.
4. No views are compromised by the proposed development, which replaces an aging 114 -
unit apartment complex with 92 modern residential condominiums. The project features
three distinct elevation styles with variations in color and materials to promote consistency
with the variety of housing types in the vicinity, including a single family neighborhood
across Irvine Avenue in Costa Mesa and multi -family residences across Rutland Road.
The project proposes the protection of existing mature street trees along Rutland Road
and Mariners Drive to maintain the appearance of an established residential
neighborhood.
5. The proposed design includes three-story building with sloping roofs up to 33 feet in
height, the maximum permitted in the RM -6,000 Zoning District. The project replaces a
two-story apartment development and maintains compatibility with the scale of the
surroundings through building articulation and varied roof planes.
In accordance with NBMC Section 19.12.070 [Required Findings for Action on Tentative Maps
(66412.3, 66473 et seg.)], the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set
forth:
G. That the proposed map and the design or improvements of the subdivision are consistent
with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, and with applicable provisions of
the Subdivision Map Act and this Subdivision Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1 The subject property has a General Plan Land Use Element designation of Multiple -Unit
Residential (RM). This category is intended to provide primarily for multi -family residential
development containing attached or detached dwelling units. The General Plan Land Use
Element Figure LU10 allows a maximum density of 20 units per acre. The proposed
project does not exceed the maximum allowable density of 115 units.
2. The proposed project is consistent with General Plan Policy LU 5.1.9, which requires
multi -family dwellings to be designed to convey a high quality architectural character in
regards to building elevations, ground floor treatment, roof design, parking, open space,
04-24-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-019
Page 8 of 17
and amenities. Parking is provided as attached garages integrated within the residential
structures, with the guest spaces throughout the site uncovered.
3. The property is not located in a specific plan area.
4. The Public Works Department has reviewed the proposed tentative tract map and found
it consistent with the Newport Beach Subdivision Code (Title 19) and applicable
requirements of the Subdivision Map Act.
H. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of development.
Fact in Support of Finding:
The subject property is 5.76 acres, slightly irregular in shape, and is fairly flat, which
is adequate to accommodate the proposed 92 multi -family dwelling units, open space,
and landscaping within the minimum and maximum density allowed by the Zoning
Code and General Plan. The site is not within a zone deemed to be subject to
seismically induced liquefaction potential. A drainage study and sewer demand study
have been prepared and reviewed by the Public Works Department to ensure that the
storm drain and sewer main are adequate.
1. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife in
their habitat. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the decision making body may
nevertheless approve such a subdivision if an environmental impact report was prepared for
the project and a finding was made pursuant to Section 29081 of the California Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA) that specific economic, social or other considerations make infeasible
the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the environmental impact report.
Facts in Support of Finding:
The site is in an urbanized area that does not contain any sensitive vegetation or
habitat and is currently a development with a 114 unit apartment complex.
2. The project is categorically exempt under Section 15302 of the CEQA Guidelines for
the reasons noted in Section 2 of this Resolution.
Finding:
J. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems.
04-24-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-019
Page 9 of 17
Facts in Support of Finding:
The proposed Tentative Tract Map is for condominium purposes. All construction for
the project will comply with all Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes, which are in
place to prevent serious health problems. Public improvements will be required of the
developer per NBMC Section 19.28.010 (General Improvement Requirements) and
Section 66411 (Local Agencies to Regulate and Control Design of Subdivisions) of the
Subdivision Map Act. All ordinances of the City and all Conditions of Approval will be
complied with.
K. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the
proposed subdivision. In this connection, the decision making body may approve a map if it
finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided and that these
easements will be substantially equivalent to the ones previously acquired by the public. This
finding shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to the City Council to
determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of
property within a subdivision.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The design of the development will not conflict with easements acquired by the public
at large, for access through, or use within the proposed development, because there
are no public easements located on the property.
L. That, subject to the provisions of Section 66474.4 of the Subdivision Map Act, if the land is
subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965
(Williamson Act), the resulting parcels following a subdivision of land would not be too small
to sustain their agricultural use or the subdivision will result in residential development
incidental to the commercial agricultural use of the land.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The property is not subject to the Williamson Act because the subject property is not
designated as an agricultural preserve and is less than 100 acres in area.
M. That, in the case of a "land project" as defined in Section 11000.5 of the California Business
and Professions Code: (1) There is an adopted specific plan for the area to be included within
the land project, and (2) the decision making body finds that the proposed land project is
consistent with the specific plan for the area.
04-24-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-019
Paae 10 of 17
Facts in Support of Finding:
California Business and Professions Code Section 11000.5 has been repealed by the
Legislature. However, this project site is not considered a "land project" as previously
defined in Section 11000.5 of the California Business and Professions Code, because
the project site does not contain 50 or more parcels of land.
N. That solar access and passive heating and cooling design requirements have been satisfied
in accordance with Section 66473.1 and 66475.3 of the Subdivision Map Act.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Tentative Tract Map includes attached dwelling units with open space, private
streets, and walkways separating individual structures. The proposed subdivision
design allows for solar access and future passive or natural heating and cooling
opportunities.
2. The proposed construction and any future improvements are subject to Title 24 of the
California Building Code that requires new construction to meet minimum heating and
cooling efficiency standards depending on location and climate. The Newport Beach
Building Division enforces Title 24 compliance through the plan check and inspection
process.
Finding:
O. That the subdivision is consistent with Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act and
Section 65584 of the California Government Code regarding the City's share of the regional
housing need and that it balances the housing needs of the region against the public service
needs of the City's residents and available fiscal and environmental resources.
Fact in Support of Findinq:
1. The minimum and maximum residential density allowed for the site will remain
unchanged with the project approval. The proposed 92 -unit development is consistent
with the minimum 92 units and maximum 115 units allowed on this 5.76 -acre site in
the RM -6,000 Zoning District. The site is currently developed with 114 apartment units.
The minor reduction of units will not affect the City's ability to meet its regional housing
goals.
Finding:
P. That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer system
will not result in a violation of existing requirements prescribed by the Regional Water Quality
Control Board ("RWQCB').
04-24-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2018-019
Paae 11 of 17
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The new condominium development is designed so that wastewater discharge into
the existing sewer system complies with the RWQCB requirements.
Findin,q:
Q. For subdivisions lying partly or wholly within the Coastal Zone, that the subdivision conforms
with the certified Local Coastal Program and, where applicable, with public access and
recreation policies of Chapter Three of the Coastal Act.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The subject property is not located in the Coastal Zone.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
