THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
An application was filed .by Starboard MacArthur Square, LP, 1701 Corinthian Way; 4251,
4253 and 4255 Martingale Way; 4200, 4220 and 4250 Scott Drive; and 1660 Dove Street
and legally described as Lots 1 of Tract 7770, and Parcels 1 and 2 of Book 53, Page 13 of
Parcel Maps requesting an approval for the development of a mixed-use residential project
("Project"). The following approvals are requested or required in order to implement the
Project as proposed:
A. Site Development Review: To ensure the site is developed in accordance with the
Newport Place Planned Community Development Plan and Zoning Code
development standards and regulations pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal
Code ("NBMC") Section 20.52.080 (Site Development Reviews);
B. Lot Line Adjustment: A lot line adjustment to reconfigure the three (3) underlying
parcels that comprise the site, pursuant to NBMC Chapter 19.76 (Lot Line
Adjustments). Specifically, the site would be reconfigured to create a 0.5 -acre
parcel for public park purposes to be deeded to the City; a 5.08 -acre parcel for
the proposed mixed-use development; and an 0.11 -acre parcel (to be owned by
the Project applicant) for emergency access improvements needed to serve the
proposed mixed-use building. The 0.11 -acre parcel would also include an
easement dedicated to the City for access and parking for the public park. With
dedication of the 0.5 -acre public park, the net project site area would be 5.19
acres; and
C. Affordable Housing Implementation Plan: A program specifying how the Project
would meet the City's affordable housing requirements, pursuant to the
Residential Overlay of the Newport Place Planned Community. Under the
Affordable Housing Implementation Plan ("AHIP"), seventy-eight (78) units would
be set aside as affordable units to lower-income households. Providing the
affordable housing required by the Residential Overlay of the Newport Place
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-005
Paae 2 of 23
Planned Community qualifies the Project for a density bonus and
incentives/concessions pursuant to Chapter 20.32 (Density Bonus) of the NBMC
and Government Code Section 65915 (Density Bonus Law). The AHIP includes
a request for one development concession related to the bedroom mix of the
affordable units and a development waiver of the 55 -foot building height limit to
allow a height of 77 feet 9 inches to accommodate the parapet, roof -top
mechanical equipment, elevator shafts, emergency staircase, rooftop terrace,
and a portion of the parking garage.
2. The subject property is located within General Commercial Site 6 and the Residential
Overlay of the Newport Place Planned Community (PC -11) Zoning District and the General
Plan Land Use Element category is Mixed -Use District Horizontal -2 (MU -H2).
3. The subject property is not located within the coastal zone; therefore, a coastal
development permit is not required.
4. A study session was held on December 6, 2018, in the Council Chambers located at
100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, California, to introduce the project to the City
of Newport Beach Planning Commission ("Planning Commission"). No action was taken
at the study session. Although not required, the City mailed a courtesy public notice of
this study session to property owners within a three hundred (300) -foot radius of the
property.
5. On Tuesday, February 5, 2019, a meeting was held with the Parks, Beaches, and
Recreation Commission in the City Council Chambers, at 100 Civic Center Drive,
Newport Beach, California 92660. A notice of time, place and purpose of the hearing
was given in accordance with the NBMC. The Project park design and staff report were
presented to the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission for their comment and
recommendations. Public comments regarding the park design were also taken. The
agenda for the meeting was posted at City Hall and on the City's website.
6. A public hearing was held on February 21, 2019, in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic
Center Drive, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the
hearing was given in accordance with the NBMC. Evidence, both written and oral, was
presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this hearing.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. The Newport Crossings Mixed -Use Project Final Environmental Impact Report ("EIR")
(SCH No. 2017101067) was prepared for the Project in compliance with CEQA, the
State CEQA Guidelines, and City Council Policy K-3 (Implementation Procedures for
the California Environmental Quality Act).
2. The Planning Commission, having final approval authority over the Project, adopted and
certified as complete and adequate the Newport Crossings Mixed -Use Project Final
Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2017101067), Findings and Facts in Support of
[1I151015E3
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-005
Page 3 of 23
Findings, and the "Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program" contained within
Resolution No. 2019-004, on February 21, 2019. Resolution No. 2019-004 is hereby
incorporated by this reference
3. The Planning Commission finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA
determinations and approvals of land use projects are costly and time consuming. In
addition, project opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees in such challenges.
As project applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such approvals, it is appropriate
that such applicants should bear the expense of defending against any such judicial
challenge, and bear the responsibility for any costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which
may be awarded to a successful challenger.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
Major Site Development Review
In accordance with NBMC Subsection 20.52.080(F) (Findings and Decision), the following
findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Finding:
A. The proposed development is allowed within the subject zoning district.
Fact in Support of Finding:
The subject property is currently zoned Planned Community and subject to the Newport
Place Planned Community (PC -11) regulations. The site is designated General
Commercial Site 6, which allows retail commercial, office, and professional and
business uses. The site is also within a Residential Overlay where multiple -family
residential development is also permitted pursuant to Part III (Residential Overlay)
Section of PC -11.
2. Multi -unit residential development projects meeting the development requirements of
the Residential Overlay are permitted by right, subject to approval of a site development
review.
3. The Residential Overlay requires that a minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the units
within the residential development be affordable to lower-income households for a
minimum thirty (30) -year term and further limits densities to a minimum thirty (30)
dwelling units per acre and a maximum of fifty (50) dwelling units per acre. After
dedication of the 0.5 -acre public park, the net acreage of the site is 5.19 acres, resulting
in a maximum density of 259 units. Of the 259 units allowed, 78 units (30 percent) are
proposed to be reserved for low-income households. As encouraged by the Residential
Overlay and pursuant to NBMC Chapter 20.32 (Density Bonus) and Government Code
Section 65915 (Density Bonus Law), with a thirty percent (30%) allocation for low-
income households, the proposed project is entitled to a thirty-five percent (35%) density
bonus (ninety-one (91) additional units), increasing the total project density to 350 units.
08-10-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-005
Paae 4 of 23
4. The Residential Overlay limits residential dwellings as replacement of nonresidential
uses. As determined by the City Traffic Engineer, the number of peak hour trips
generated by the redevelopment of the project site may not exceed the number of trips
attributable to the existing permitted non-residential uses. The proposed 259 base
dwelling units (exclusive of the density bonus units) is consistent with this limitation. The
existing site is currently developed with 58,277 square feet of commercial floor area.
With 7,500 square feet of commercial floor area to remain within the project, the
remaining net floor area available for conversion is 50,727 square feet. When applying
the City's adopted use conversion factors to maintain traffic trip neutrality to the existing
net floor area, a total of 272 residential units would be allowed as replacement units.
5. The Residential Overlay limits development to the 2,200 maximum dwelling unit
development allocation for the Airport Area established by General Plan Land Use
Policy 6.15.5. Of the 2,200 residential units allowed, 1,650 units may be developed as
replacement of existing office, retail, and/or industrial uses. The remaining 550 units are
classified as additive units meaning they are not required to replace other units and they
may be constructed as "in -fill" units to existing commercial or office development within
the Conceptual Development Plan Area ("CDPA") of the Airport Area. Any eligible
density bonus allowed by Government Code Sections 65915 (Density Bonus Law) and
NBMC Chapter 20.32 (Density Bonus) are not included in the 2,200 -unit allowance. The
only other approved project within the Airport Area at this time is the Uptown Newport
project, which was approved for 632 replacement units, 290 additive units, and with a
density bonus of 322 units for a total of 1,244 residential units. Taking into account the
dwelling unit sum of the Uptown Newport project and the proposed Newport Crossings
project, the remaining development allocation within the Airport Area would be 1,019
dwelling units (exclusive of density bonus units).
6. The subject property, after dedication of the 0.5 -acre public park, is approximately 5.19
acres in size. Pursuant to Section I of the Residential Overlay of the Newport Place
Planned Community, the Project is exempt from the minimum 10 -acre site development
required by General Plan Land Use Element Policy LU6.15.6 (Sizes of Residential
Villages) in exchange for the support of the City's need for low-income households.
Finding:
B. The proposed development is in compliance with all of the following applicable criteria:
i. Compliance with this section, the General Plan, this Zoning Code, any applicable
specific plan, and other applicable criteria and policies related to the use or
structure;
ii. The efficient arrangement of structures on the site and the harmonious relationship
of the structures to one another and to other adjacent developments, and whether
the relationship is based on standards of good design;
08-10-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-005
Pape 5 of 23
iii. The compatibility in terms of bulk, scale, and aesthetic treatment of structures on
the site and adjacent developments and public areas,
iv. The adequacy, efficiency, and safety of pedestrian and vehicular access, including
drive aisles, driveways, and parking and loading spaces;
v. The adequacy and efficiency of landscaping and open space areas and the use of
water efficient plant and irrigation materials, and
vi. The protection of significant views from public rights) -of -way and compliance with
NBMC Section 20.30. 100 (Public View Protection).
Facts in Support of Finding:
The subject property has a General Plan Land Use Element designation of Mixed -Use
Horizontal 2 (MU -H2). This category provides for a horizontal intermixing of uses that
may include regional commercial office, multifamily residential, vertical mixed-use
buildings, industrial, hotel rooms, and ancillary neighborhood commercial uses. The MU -
H2 land use category covers a significant portion of properties in the Airport Area within
both the Newport Place and Koll Center Newport Planned Communities outside higher
noise levels from John Wayne Airport. The Project is consistent with this designation by
redeveloping an aging and under-utilized commercial center with a new mixed-use
development.
2. As stated in Fact 3 in response to Finding A, the project's density of 259 base dwelling
units (exclusive of the ninety-one (91) density bonus units) is consistent with the
maximum development limit of fifty (50) dwelling per unit pursuant to General Plan Policy
LU 6.15.7. Consistent with this policy, the Project consists of a mix of studio, one-, and
two-bedroom rental units (including seventy-eight (78) affordable units), accommodating
a variety of household types and incomes. The affordable units will have the same size
and amenities as the market -rate units. The ninety-one (91) density bonus units allowed
by Government Code Sections 65915 (Density Bonus Law) and NBMC Chapter 20.32
(Density Bonus) are not restricted by the fifty (50) unit per net acre standard.
3. As stated in Facts 4 and 5 in response to Finding A, the Project is consistent with the
2,200 dwelling unit maximum development allocation established for the Airport Area
pursuant to General Plan Policy LU 6.15.5. In addition, the Project's proposed 259 base
dwelling units (replacement units) and 7,500 square feet of commercial floor area remain
below the number of peak hour trips generated by the existing permitted 58,277 -square -
foot commercial center that currently exists on the site. The ninety-one (91) density
bonus units allowed by Government Code Sections 65915 (Density Bonus Law) and
NBMC Chapter 20.32 (Density Bonus) are not included in the 2,200 -unit allowance.
4. Consistent with General Plan Housing Element Program HP 3.2.2 and the minimum site
area exemption adopted within the Residential Overlay of the Newport Place Planned
Community Development Plan, the Project qualifies for an exemption to the 10 -acre
08-10-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-005
Paae 6 of 23
minimum site development requirement of General Plan Policy LU6.15.6 (Sizes of
Residential Villages) and the regulatory plan requirements of LU6.15.10 (Regulatory
Plan), in exchange for the support of the City's need for lower-income households. The
subject property, after dedication of the 0.5 -acre public park, is approximately 5.19 acres
in size.
5. Consistent with the park dedication requirements of General Plan Polices LU 6.15.13
(Neighborhood Parks Standards) and LU 6.15.14 (Neighborhood Parks Location), the
Project includes the dedication of a 0.5 -acre public park located at the southern edge of
the project site between Dove Street and Martingale Way. The park would be easily
accessible through pedestrian connections and sited in a location consistent with a
conceptual park location per General Plan Figure LU23 (Airport Area Residential
Villages Illustrative Concept Diagram). The park would serve the Project's future
residents, employees, and patrons, and the existing offices and businesses in the
surrounding vicinity as a recreation and activity area. Park amenities include a play lawn
and playground equipment, shade structures, benches, fitness terrace, central dining
terrace, and bocce ball court. A proposed dog park and pickle ball court would also serve
regional needs of City residents. The park includes noninvasive and low-water use
plants and trees. A tree and shrub hedge would be provided along the southern
boundary providing a physical and visual boarder between the park and adjacent office
parking lot to the south. A small off-street parking lot for park users is proposed adjacent
to the eastern end of the park, and additional on -street parking opportunities exist along
Martingale Way.
6. Although the Project is smaller than the 8 -acre applicability requirement of General Plan
Policy LU 6.15.16 (On -Site Recreation and Open Space Standards), the Project
provides extensive on-site recreational amenities, including separate pool,
entertainment, and lounge courtyards with eating, seating, and barbeque space; a
rooftop terrace; a fifth -level view deck; a club room for entertainment and gatherings;
and a fitness facility. In addition, a public plaza is located in front of the retail shops
facing the main corner of the Project at Corinthian Way and Martingale Way that will
provide informal areas that residents can take advantage of. The provided amenities
total 22,696 square feet, exceeding the 15,400 square -foot (44 square feet x 350 units)
on-site recreational amenities requirement.
7. The Project introduces 350 new residential units to an existing major employment center
(the Airport Area and Irvine Business Complex), providing new opportunities for those
working in the area to live near work. The Project also includes park space, retail, and
restaurant uses that will help meet the needs of its residents and surrounding employees
in the area.
8. Consistent with General Plan Policy LU5.3.1 (Mixed -Use Buildings), the Project has
been designed to exhibit a high quality design and complements the surrounding urban
context. The retail and restaurant components are located on the ground level and
oriented toward the streets to minimize potential conflicts with the residential uses.
Additionally, these retail and restaurant uses are well integrated into the overall building
design through the use of common design elements. The fagade is articulated through
08-10-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-005
Paae 7 of 23
the use of windows, color, and changes in planes and massing. The Project provides
separate entrances for residential and non-residential uses, with commercial entrances
articulated by a white frame and storefront windows. The parking facility is completely
integrated into the design and hidden from public view by the wrapping of residential
units around the exterior of the parking structure. Extensive landscaping has been
incorporated along the street frontages, in interior courtyards, on the roof terrace, within
the retail plaza, and within the public park.
9. Consistent with General Plan Policy LU6.15.22 (Building Massing), the 4- and 5 -story
residential building facades along all streets are designated and articulated to
breakdown it's massing vertically and horizontally. Layered horizontal fagade base
treatment is used to break up the height of the building. Two-story white framed
elements are also used consistently throughout the elevations to visually reduce its
height and to create a pedestrian -scale presence on the street frontages. The articulated
masses also create and define a new activated street presence on Corinthian Way. A
modern tower feature and rooftop terrace create ambience, an architectural focal point,
and visual interest. In addition to layering the fagades, varying window patterns, and
planar geometric breaks, horizontal roof elements help define the building's modern
character. Corner window treatments are also utilized at strategic locations to vary the
character and massing of residential balconies. Metal sunshade devices are also used
to create an interesting shadow play on the fagade. These varying design elements help
break up the building massing avoiding large unarticulated and monotonous building
elevations.
10. The proposed Project is designed with an architectural style and scale that are
compatible and complementary to the overall Newport Place Planned Community. The
building's architectural design is defined as "California Coast Modern," which is
monochromic with colored accents. The integral accents comprise of metal and acrylic
panes, wood plank tiles, and stone veneer. Metal clad horizontal roof elements are used
at the top floor to define and vary the building mass and character. Glass railings, metal
trellises, metal sunshades, and horizontal metal slats are also used to create the modern
architectural aesthetic prevalent in the area.
11. Ground -level units include large patios with access to the street sidewalks, promoting
walkability and pedestrian activity. Upper-level units include ample and usable outdoor
decks with storage. Each unit exceeds the minimum private open space requirement (5
percent of gross unit area) and the Project as a whole provides 63,445 square feet of
common open space exceeding the minimum common open space requirement of
26,250 square feet (75 square feet per unit).
12. Overall, the building will be below the base height limit of 55 feet, with the exception of
architectural elements of up to 77 feet 9 inches. These architectural elements include
the parapet, rooftop mechanical equipment, elevator shafts, emergency staircase,
rooftop terrace, and a portion of the parking garage. The proposed development is the
first residential project in the Newport Place Planned Community where the predominant
permitted land uses are office and light industrial developments with limited retail
allowed in certain sub -areas of the planned community. These surrounding
�NSDIN !
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-005
Paae 8 of 23
developments are ranging from single -story to four-story in height with the exception of
the 10 -story Radisson Hotel located nearby. The Project's building mass is comparable
and compatible to the existing surrounding developments.
13. Besides the height exception and unit -mix incentive requested through the allowed
density bonus, the proposed project complies with the development standards of the
Residential Overlay and applicable standards of the Zoning Code.
14. Project landscaping consists of ornamental trees, shrubs, and groundcover along the
site perimeter and in public gathering areas. The existing Italian Stone pines and Canary
Island pines along Martingale Way would be preserved. The plant palate would include
noninvasive, low-water use plants. Although approximately seventy-six (76) trees would
be removed, the proposed Project would provide a greater number of trees than
currently exists (approximately 174 new trees, including the public park and plaza). All
landscaped areas, including the public park and retail plaza, would be maintained by the
property management company. Project landscaping will be required to meet NBMC
Chapter 14.17 (Water -Efficient Landscape) requirements with respect to water
efficiency.
15. Vehicular access to the mixed-use building would be provided via full -access driveways
off Scott Drive and Martingale Way. The parking garage would be restricted to apartment
residents, guests, and employees; and to employees and patrons of the commercial
uses. The design of the parking structure allows for residents to park on the level of their
respective unit for ease of access. The public park would have a separate full -access
driveway located at the southern end of Martingale Way. Pedestrian access would be
provided along the perimeter streets, with pedestrian corridors and walkways leading
into the retail, residential, and through the public park areas. Site access, including the
drive aisles, driveways, parking and loading spaces, have all been reviewed by the City
Traffic Engineer for adequacy, efficiency, and safety.
16.A six -level, five -story parking structure would be located within the center of the building,
and screened from public view by the surrounding residential units. The structure would
provide a total of 740 parking spaces, complying with required parking ratios as follows:
a. Retail: 25 spaces provided, 22 space required for the 5,500 square feet (1 space
per 250 square feet);
b. Restaurant: 49 spaces for an assumed 1,000 square feet of interior net public
area and 950 square feet of exterior net public area exceeding the 25 percent
allowance (1 space per 40 square feet of net public area);
c. Apartment Leasing: 5 spaces (none required by Zoning Code);
d. Residential: 661 spaces, exceeding the 474 minimum spaces required for density
bonus projects pursuant to NBMC Section 20.32.040 (Parking Requirements in
Density Bonus Projects) and Government Code Section 65915(p) (Density Bonus
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-005
Page 9 of 23
Law) (1 space per 0 to one bedroom units, and 2 spaces per two- and three-
bedroom units).
17. The Project would comply with the minimum 30 -foot setback required from streets and
10 feet from interior property lines (including the new public park property line) required
by the Newport Place Planned Community.
18. The Project site does not have the potential to obstruct public views from public view
points and corridors, as identified on General Plan Figure NR 3 (Coastal Views), to the
Pacific Ocean, Newport Bay and Harbor, offshore islands, the Old Channel of the Santa
Ana River (the Oxbow Loop), Newport Pier, Balboa Pier, designated landmark and
historic structures, parks, coastal and inland bluffs, canyons, mountains, wetlands, and
permanent passive open space. The Project is not located near any public viewpoints
and there are no designated public views through or across the site.
Finding:
C. The proposed development is not detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of
the City, nor will it endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public
convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of person residing or working in
the neighborhood of the proposed development.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Project has been designed to ensure that potential conflicts with surrounding land
uses are minimized to the extent possible to maintain a healthy environment for both
businesses and residents by providing an architecturally pleasing project with
articulation and building modulations to enhance the urban environment.
2. The proposed building has been designed to accommodate and provide safe access for
emergency vehicles, delivery trucks, and refuse collections vehicles, as determined by
the City Traffic Engineer. Refuse collection is accommodated via two on-site staging
areas with adequate turnaround space to ensure safe maneuvering by refuse vehicles.
Emergency vehicles will have access via the surrounding streets and through two
additional emergency vehicle access easements provided to the City.
3. The Property is located approximately 0.5 -miles east of the southernmost John Wayne
Airport runway and is within the notification area of the Airport Environs Land Use Plan
("AELUP") for John Wayne Airport. However, the Project is below the maximum
transitional imagery surface heights, and thus the project is within the building height
limits of the AELUP. The Property falls inside the Noise Impact Zone "2" — Moderate
Noise Impact (60 decibel [dB] Community Noise Equivalent Level [CNEL] or greater,
less than 65 dB CNEL) and also Safety Zone 6 (Traffic Pattern Zone), where the
likelihood of an accident is low. Consistent with the Residential Overlay, the Project has
been conditioned to provide notice to all future residents of potential annoyances or
inconveniences associated with residing in proximity to airport operations. Also, a notice
08-10-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-005
Page 10 of 23
is required to be provided in the public park and designated outdoor common and
recreational areas advising of aircraft noise.
4. The Project does not involve the use or manufacture of any hazardous substances that
could impact nearby development. Dry cleaning uses have existed on-site, and a dry
cleaning use exists currently. A 2017 soil vapor test has identified perch loroethylene
(PCE) concentrations above California Human Health Screening Level for residential
use. However, with the implementation of Mitigation Measure MM HAZ-1 of the Newport
Crossing Mixed -Use Project EIR, which includes the installation of a subslab ventilation
system, membrane barrier, and utility trench damns and conduit seals, potential
hazardous impacts are reduced to a less than significant impact, ensuring a safe living
environment for future residents.
5. The Project would include enhanced pedestrian walkways that provide access between
the various uses and areas within the project site and to the surrounding public
sidewalks and uses.
6. The new construction complies with all Building, Public Works, Fire Codes, City
ordinances, and all conditions of approval.
Lot Line Adjustment
In accordance with Section 19.76.020 (Procedures for Lot Line Adjustments) of the Newport
Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC"), the following findings and facts in support of such findings
are set forth:
Findin :
A. Approval of the lot line adjustment will not, under the circumstances of the particular
case, be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort, and general welfare of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use or be detrimental
or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of
the City, and further that the proposed lot line adjustment is consistent with the legislative
intent of the title.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The General Plan Land Use Designation of Mixed Use Horizontal (MU -H2) will be
maintained for the three proposed parcels.
2. The lot line adjustment is consistent with the purpose identified in Section 19.76 (Lot
Line Adjustment) of the NBMC. The lot line adjustment constitutes a minor boundary
adjustment involving three (3) adjacent lots. The original number of lots will remain
unchanged after the adjustment.
3. The lot line adjustment does not negatively impact surrounding land owners, and will not
in itself be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort, and general welfare of
08-10-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-005
Paae 11 of 23
persons residing or working in the neighborhood, as the adjustment affects interior
property lines between three (3) adjacent parcels.
Finding:
B. The number of parcels resulting from the lot line adjustment remains the same as before
the adjustment.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed lot line adjustment will adjust the property line between three (3)
contiguous parcels. The number of parcels remains the same as before the lot line
adjustment.
Finding:
C. The lot line adjustment is consistent with applicable zoning regulations except that
nothing herein shall prohibit the approval of a lot line adjustment as long as none of the
resultant parcels is more nonconforming as to lot width, depth and area than the parcels
that existed prior to the lot line adjustment.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed parcels would remain within the Newport Place Planned Community
Zoning District and subject to applicable development standards.
2. The lot line adjustment allows the reconfiguration of the underlying parcels to create a
0.5 -acre parcel to be deeded to the City for public park use consistent with General Plan
requirements, a 0.11 -acre parcel for public parking for park use and emergency vehicle
access for the mixed-use development, and 5.08 -acre parcel for the mixed-use
development. There is no minimum site area for development meeting the development
requirements of the Residential Overlay of the Newport Place Planned Community.
Finding:
D. Neither the lots as adjusted nor adjoining parcels will be deprived legal access as a
result of the lot line adjustment.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. Parcel 1 (mixed-use building) would maintain street frontage on Martingale Way,
Corinthian Way, Scott Drive, and Dove Street. The Project would provide vehicular
access from Scott Drive and Martingale Way.
2. Parcel 2 (emergency access and public parking) would maintain street frontage on
Martingale Way. The park parking lot would provide vehicular access from Martingale
Way.
08-10-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-005
Pape 12 of 23
3. Parcel 3 (public park) would maintain street frontage adjacent to Martingale Way and
Dove Street. The park would provide pedestrian access to both streets.
Finding:
E. That the final configuration of the parcels involved will not result in the loss of direct
vehicular access from an adjacent alley for any of the parcels that are included in the lot
line adjustment.
Facts in Support of Finding:
4. There are no public alleys adjacent to the proposed parcels; therefore, this finding does
not apply.
Finding:
F. That the final configuration of a reoriented lot does not result in any reduction of the
street side setbacks as currently exist adjacent to a front yard of any adjacent key,
unless such reduction is accomplished through a zone change to establish appropriate
street site setbacks for the reoriented lot. The Planning Commission and City Council in
approving the zone change application shall determine that the street side setbacks are
appropriate, and are consistent and compatible with the surrounding pattern of
development and existing adjacent setbacks.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The final configuration of the proposed parcels does not result in a requirement for
revised setbacks since the Newport Place Planned Community development standards

The proposed Affordable Housing Implementation Plan ("AHIP") is consistent with the intent to
implement affordable housing goals within the City pursuant to Government Code Section
65915-65918 (State Density Bonus Law), Newport Place Planned Community Part III —
Residential Overlay and Title 20, Chapter 20.32 (Density Bonus Code) of the Newport Beach
Municipal Code ("NBMC") for the following reasons:
1. Consistent with the affordable housing requirements pursuant to the Residential Overlay
of the Newport Place Planned Community, thirty percent (30%) of the Project's
apartment units (seventy-eight (78) units) would be set aside as affordable units to low-
income households. Low-income households, are defined as households earning eighty
percent (80%) or less of the area median income, adjusted for family size. Of the
seventy-eight (78) affordable units provided, fifty-two (52) units would be set aside for
households earning sixty percent (60%) or less of the area median income for a
minimum term of fifty-five (55) years. The remaining twenty-six (26) affordable units
08-10-18
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2019-005
Paae 13 of 23
would be set aside for households earning eighty percent (80%) or less of the area
median income for a minimum term of thirty (30) years.
2. The State Density Bonus Law and the City's Density Bonus Code provide for an increase
in the number of units of up to thirty-five percent (35%) above the maximum number of
units allowed by the General Plan, for projects that include a minimum of twenty percent
(20%) (fifty-two (52) units, in the case of the proposed project) of the base units
affordable to low-income households earning 60 percent or less of area median income.
At the maximum density bonus of 35 percent, the Project is eligible for ninety-one (91)
additional units above the 259 base units allowed by the General Plan for a total of 350
units.
3. In addition to the ninety-one (91) density bonus units and pursuant to Government Code
Section 65915(d)(1), the Project is eligible to receive up to two (2) incentives or
concessions that would result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost
reductions. Government Code Section 65915(e)(1) also entitles developers to waivers
or modifications of development standards that, if applied, would physically preclude
development of housing with the provided density bonus. The proposed project includes
a request for one development concession for the unit mix and one waiver for the height.
4. Incentive Request: Pursuant to Section V.F.1 of the Residential Overlay, affordable units
shall reflect the range of the number of bedrooms provided in the residential
development project as a whole. In this case, the Project would provide a unit mix that
includes a greater percentage of studio and one -bedroom units. Granting this incentive
will result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual project cost reductions by
reducing the long-term rental subsidy costs associated with the two-bedroom units and
affording additional rental income for the project to ensure financial feasibility.
5. Development Standard Waiver Request: Pursuant to Section V.A of the Residential
Overlay, building heights are limited to a base height of fifty-five (55) feet, but may be
increased through a site development review. Government Code Section 65915(e)(1)
provides that a city may not apply a development standard that will have the effect of
physically precluding the construction of the density bonus units at the density permitted
under the density bonus law. In the case of the proposed project, a waiver of the fifty-
five (55) -foot height limit development standard to allow a height of 77 feet 9 inches is
requested to accommodate the parapet, rooftop mechanical equipment, elevator shafts,
emergency staircase, the rooftop amenity deck, and a portion of the parking structure.
Without the height allowance for the stairs, elevators, mechanical equipment, and
parapet, sixty-three (63) of the ninety-one (91) density bonus units would need to be
eliminated. Furthermore, limiting heights to fifty-five (55) feet would also result in the
elimination of the rooftop amenity deck and upper level of parking structure, which are
necessary to meet expectations of prospective tenants and to achieve market -rate rents
to make the overall project financially viable, and provide the level of on-site amenities
encouraged by the Residential Overlay, and reduce the impact of parking availability on
neighboring streets.
