HomeMy WebLinkAbout1543 - RECOMMEND GPA TO NEWPORT PLACE PC_ 1811 QUAIL STREETurq� RESOLUTION NO. 1543
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH RECOMMENDING THE CITY COUNCIL
I APPROVE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 2001 -04 AMENDING
THE TABLE TITLED "ESTIMATED GROWTH FOR STATISTICAL
AREA L -4" WITHIN THE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL
PLAN TO REFLECT THE CORRECT BUILDOUT GROWTH FIGURES
FOR AIRPORT AREA 2 -7, NEWPORT PLACE BLOCKS G & H
WHEREAS, as part of the development and implementation of the Newport Beach
General Plan, the Land Use Element has been prepared; and
WHEREAS, the Land Use Element sets forth objectives, supporting policies and
limitations for development in the City of Newport Beach; and
WHEREAS, the Land Use Element designates the general distribution and general
location and extent of the uses of land and building intensities in a number of ways, including
commercial floor area limitations; and,
WHEREAS, the City's General plan dictates that the City shall provide for sufficient
diversity of land uses so that schools, employment, recreation areas, public facilities, churches
and neighborhood shopping centers are in close proximity to each resident of the community.
The proposed project consists of expanding an existing commercial office building by 1,590
square feet. The proposed project would assist the City's efforts to provide schools, employment,
recreation areas, public facilities, churches, and neighborhood shopping centers in close
proximity to each resident of the community. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with
this policy.
WHEREAS, the City's General plan dictates that the City shall insure redevelopment of
older or underutilized properties, and to preserve the value of property, the floor area limits
specified in the Land Use Element allow for some modest growth. To insure that traffic does not
exceed the level of service desired by the City, variable floor area limits shall be established
based upon the trip generation characteristics of land uses. The implementation of the proposed
project will result in a modest intensification of a commercial office usage of the project site by a
maximum of 1,590 square feet, which is within the projected capacity and levels of service of the
circulation system. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with this policy.
WHEREAS, the City's General Plan indicates that land use designations and building
intensity standards included in the Land Use Element reflect limits on John Wayne Airport
imposed by the Airport Settlement Agreement. The proposed project is consistent with this
policy, as implementation will result in an increase of two employees in the building which will
not impact the level of passenger traffic at the airport.
WHEREAS, development of the site is required to comply with the applicable City
standards, including the Newport Place Planned Community District development standards for
parking, height and setbacks. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with this requirement
as established building height, setback, and parking development standards are met as shown in
the plans.
WHEREAS, in conjunction with the consideration of the subject amendment to the Land
Use Element of the General Plan, the proposed project has been determined to be Categorically
Exempt under the Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the State CEQA Guidelines; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 20.94, the Planning Commission has held a duly
noticed public hearing on December 6, 2001 to consider General Plan Amendment No. 2001 -004
and Planned Community Development Text Amendment No. 2001 -002 and recommended
approval to the City Council; and,
NOW THEREFORE the Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach does
hereby resolve as follows.
Section 1: The amendment is consistent with the intent of the General Plan.
Section 2: The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council hereby approve
General Plan Amendment No. 2001 -004 and Planned Community Development Text
Amendment No. 2001 -002 as shown in Attached "A," referenced and incorporated herein.
