The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach does hereby find, resolve and order as follows: Section 1. An application was filed by Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian with respect to property located at One Hoag Drive requesting approval of PD2002 -001 that will clarify which floor areas apply to the established maximum development allocation approved under the Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian Master Plan. The amendment excludes such areas as utility shafts and ducts, mechanical and electrical equipment rooms, and other similar areas that are not regularly occupied from counting towards the total area approved by Development Agreement No. 5, approved by the City Council on February 14, 1994. Section 2. A public hearing was held on June 6, 2002, at 6:30 P.M. in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the aforesaid meeting was duly given. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at the aforesaid meeting. Section 3. The Planning Commission finds as follows: a) The maximum development allocation permitted pursuant to the Hoag Hospital Master Plan will not change as a result of the applicant's request. The request proposes an additional definition for inclusion in the Hoag Hospital Planned Community Development Criteria and District Regulations that would clarify which floor areas apply towards the maximum development allocation. The definition would exclude areas such as equipment and mechanical rooms, utility ducts and shafts, etc., that are not for normal or regular occupancy. b) The pre - existing development standards such as building height and density will not change as a result of the applicant's request. The request is a text amendment pertaining to floor areas, which would remain subject to the existing development standards. C) The exclusion of these areas would not create any new or additional environmental impacts. The request does not involve an increase in density, building bulk, trips generated to the site, or some other intensification of use. Development and construction would remain subject to all of the pre- existing development standards of the Hoag Hospital Planned Community Text and Development Agreement. d) The request is in accord with the original intent and purpose of the Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian Master Development Plan and the Development Agreement. Since the original plan and agreement were adopted in 1992 and 1994 respectively, there have been additional requirements placed upon hospital facilities related to the electrical, structural and mechanical demands associated with providing medical services. The request clarifies which floor areas apply towards the maximum development allocation. The areas to be excluded do not provide for normal or regular occupancy. e) The project has been reviewed, and a determination has been made that the project is consistent with the approval for the Hoag Hospital Planned Community (PC -38) District, and no new potential environmental effects are anticipated as a result of the project. f) The project is also in accord with the Implementing Guidelines for CEQA as the hospital expansion project is consistent with the Governmental, Educational, and Institutional Facilities designation of the site by the General Plan and the Hoag Hospital Planned Community (PC — 38) District which permits hospital and related medical facility development. Section 4. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Planned Community Text Amendment No. 2002 -001, as depicted in Attachment "A." Section 5. This recommendation shall be forwarded to the City Council for final adoption of this amendment in accordance with the provisions of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
